On stage.
An Hong helplessly said, âEveryone must have noticed too. It seems that Teacher Prince of Lanling is having some minor issues with his physical condition. However, this is a competition and we hope that all singers will go all out without considering other issues. Letâs warmly welcome the first singer of today, Teacher Fat-Head Fish!â
Applause rang out.
Fat-Head Fish took the stage, took a deep breath, then, holding the microphone, said:
âIâm sorry to see that Teacher Prince of Lanling is not feeling well, but Iâll still deliver my best. This is not only a respect for the audience but also a respect for Teacher Wang!â
The judges nodded.
As competitors, they should give their all, no need to consider other things, after all, a competition never involves just one person.
Soon.
The singing began.
Fat-Head Fish was performing a lyrical song.
She seemed to be born for pop music. She was one of the few in the competition who was not good at high pitches, yet she made it to the top twelve.
â¦
Backstage area.
Lin Yuan was silently listening to his rivalâs singing. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth under the mask twitched slightly.
It was Xia Fan.
In the previous rounds, Lin Yuan hadnât recognized her.
But this time, Fat-Head Fish wanted to bring out her best and had to reveal her vocal features. She couldnât hide her identity by compromising her performance.
Advancing!
Thatâs what matters the most!
Lin Yuan believed that even if Xia Fan knew that he was Lin Yuan, she would never go easy on him. Thatâs just how they interact with each other.
The fact was.
Xia Fan certainly didnât go easy on him.
She performed very well in this competition!
Pop music might be criticized by some as lacking substance and being too commercialized, but thereâs no denying that pop music is popular because it resonates with the general public!
In everyday life.
Minor loves and minor affections.
Ordinary people embrace it.
Countless songs are about affairs between couples, even the famous Jane Eyre is also about the same theme, and yet, over the centuries, all works related to love never lack an audience.
â¦
Lin Yuan figured it out.
Many audiences figured it out too.
âThis voice sounds familiarâ¦â
âItâs Xia Fan!â
âThatâs right, itâs Xia Fanâs voice!â
âXia Fan singing pop music is absolutely stunning!â
âHer voice is so suited to this kind of music genre!â
âFat-Head Fish must be Xia Fan, she canât hide it anymore in this competition!â
âYou canât hide as you go on.â
ââ¦â
When Xia Fan finished singing, the whole audience erupted in warm applause.
The song she sang was common Mandarin and the most seen pop music. It had no high notes, no complicated singing techniques, and even ordinary people could sing it in KTV.
Itâs not a high bar.
It just told an ordinary love story of a couple, but this song about love moved many audiences at this moment. They didnât hesitate to give their applause.
Who says singing must show off technical skills?
Who says stage performance requires high notes?
Pop music belongs to the public, and so does Fat-Head Fishâs voice. Her voice embodied countless peopleâs best impression of this type of song. What was amazing about Fat-Head Fish was that she brought out a flavor in those well-known pop songs that ordinary people absolutely couldnât.
â¦
Tongtong gave a bitter smile, âItâs so pleasant to listen to.â
Lin Yuan nodded.
Xia Fan was very stable on stage singing this song.
Yes.
She was just that steady.
The nature of this song might not be able to get particularly high scores, but as long as perfectly performed, the final score surely wouldnât be low.
This is pop music for the general public.
Lin Yuan quietly used the potion provided by the System. Although the potion couldnât help his throat recover immediately, it could at least prevent him from coughing uncontrollably while singing.

The comments would be made later. In this kind of one-on-one duel, the two singers had to sing one after another. So as Fat-Head Fish just finished her song, the host mentioned âPrince of Lanlingâ.
âIâm going up.â
Lin Yuan said, then walked onto the stage.
The venue was a little quiet.
Judgesâ seats.
Yang Zhongming suddenly said, âI wonât pity you for losing your voice and give you a sympathy vote. The stage should still be judged based on the singerâs performance.â
âNo problem.â
This is what Lin Yuan wanted to see.
On the screen.
As Prince of Lanling stepped onto the stage, the comments started flooding the screen:
âIs he really going to sing?â
âWhy doesnât he just forfeit?â
âCan he still compete with this voice?â
âItâs so hoarse.â
âIt feels even more hoarse than before he got on the stage.â
ââ¦..â
No one could imagine what song Prince of Lanling would sing under such circumstances.
Just at this moment.
The lights dimmed.
The song information appeared on the screen.
Song Title: âHe Must Love You Very Much.â
Lyricist: Xian Yu
Composer: Xian Yu
Performed by: Prince of Lanling
Holding the microphone, Lin Yuan began to sing quietly:
âIâm hiding in the car
Champagne in hand
Wanting to surprise you
On your birthdayâ¦â
As soon as Lin Yuanâs voice emerged many members of the live audience were momentarily stunned as if punched by something.
The four judges also exchanged confused looks.
This voiceâ¦
It was quite hoarse!
Butâ¦
This hoarseness, when singing, somehow possessed an indescribable charm. It seemed as if this song was meant to be sung with such a raspy voice.
âYouâre getting closer
Two voices can be heard
I was caught off guard
And stood thereâ¦â
Still that hoarse voice, but it carried an indescribable feeling, subtly stirred the audiencesâ hearts. The spectators seemed to see a man sitting in his car, helplessly watching his beloved woman with another man in front of his own eyes, while still having the birthday surprise for her in his handâ¦
Accompanied by a somber piano note.
Lin Yuan lowered his head slightly:
âI should have been under the car
Not sitting inside it
Seeing how sweet you two are
In this manner
Itâs easier for me to let go
Gives me the courage to walk awayâ¦â
In an instant!
The audienceâs faces changed!
The last two words from Prince of Lanling were hoarse to the point of near collapse. In the scenario presented by the song, the sorrowful feeling resonated with countless people. There were no high notes, but everyone clearly felt a sense of hysteriaâ
âHe must love you very much
And has surpassed me
The breakup took just a minute
He must love you very much
Better at pleasing you than I
Wonât be like me, acting childishly
Making things difficult for youâ¦â
Upon reaching this part, the eyes of the audience were completely wide open, some even had their mouths agape. The melody of the music combined with this voice, brought about a sense of sorrow and helplessness after a breakup!
He can actually sing!
He really can sing!
No matter how raspy his voice became, it still brought about the most emotional impact to the song!
âOh my god!â
âWhat kind of voice is that!â
âHow can a hoarse voice sound so good?â
âHow does he do that!â
âI never thought that a raspy voice could add so much charm to a song, this song is just stunning!â
âSo magnetic!â
âEven though I havenât been drinking, I feel like Iâm about to get drunk, this is the best husky voice Iâve ever heard!â
ââ¦â
Welcome.
The song is âHe Must Love You Very Muchâ, the classic work by the Earth singer A-do.
Mentioning a hoarse voice,
A-do is a name that everyone has to mention.
Because Lin Yuanâs voice was hoarse, he naturally thought of this song!
To be preciseâ¦
Itâs quite hard for Lin Yuan to sing this song in his normal voice, but because his voice became hoarse, he could bring out the best performance of this song!
â¦
Backstage.
The other singers were also stunned.
The White Swan muttered, âThat voice is just deadly!â
The Robot slapped his thighs, âIt wouldnât have worked without a hoarse voice!â
Pufferfish mumbled, âI didnât know there were songs for hoarse voices!â
Mermaid bit her lip, âThis song and his current voice are a match made in heavenâ¦â
A match made in heaven!
Everyone thought that once Prince of Lanling lost his voice, his performance would suffer. But little did they know, after his voice became hoarse, he delivered such a song!
Stunned!
Completely overwhelmed!
Just now, Fat-Head Fish delivered a pop song about love, which had its own uniqueness. But now, Prince of Lanling also sang a pop song about love which wasnât just unique, but something rarely seen in the whole music industryâ
It was a masterpiece!
