This deeply moving emotion lingered in everyoneâs hearts, refusing to fade.
Fans of Xian Yu couldnât resist tearing up in the face of such sentimentality.
Then, someone mentioned âLife Like A Summer Flower.â
It logically followed.
âIf Iâm not mistaken, âLife Like A Summer Flowerâ might be a reflection of Xian Yuâs feelings at some point.â
âFits perfectly.â
âThe refrain of that song goes: âI am this dazzling moment, the fleeting flame across the sky, I would risk everything for you to see me, I will extinguish and never return⦠Back then, very few people would have associated death with this song.â
Ephemeral as a startled wild goose!
Radiant like a summer flower!
The meaning expressed by this song is somewhat similar to âThe Ordinary Roadâ, yet distinctly different.
The difference lies in that âLife Like A Summer Flowerâ is about loss of hope, wanting only to shine brightly one more time.
Whereas âThe Ordinary Roadâ is much more broad-minded.
The phrase âI used to beâ in the refrain is âLife Like A Summer Flowerâ.
But now itâs just âused to be.â
The last line âWhere is your story atâ conveys more of a hopeful future.
Because he is still on this journey.
He is still creating and delivering new songs to his fans.
At this moment.
Many people felt relieved.
Thankfully, Xian Yu has recovered.
Thankfully, he can still compose creation.
Thankfully, he has realized his dream of singing.
For a while.
Many people felt deeply moved.
These interviews, these discussions, swept across the internet in a short span of time.
More and more people learned about Xian Yuâs fragile and desperate past overshadowed by the halo of the Maestro.
âUnimaginable.â
âThe lyrics subtly reveal a tendencyâXian Yu once contemplated ending his own life.â
âThank heavens he didnât give up.â
âI believe the heavens still took care of him, the chance of recovery from a terminal illness is slim.â
âEnough chit-chat, Iâm going to download these two songs.â
âSo this is how to truly appreciate âLife Like A Summer Flowerâ.â
âSoâ¦this is how to understand âThe Ordinary Roadâ.â
âNow I completely understand why Xian Yu chose to sing âThe Ordinary Roadâ at the finals, because only this song can express his current feelings and insights.â
ââ¦â
If itâs about competitive performance sheathed in the ambiance of that time, âExaggeratedâ should be the song with the strongest competitive potential and easiest way to captivate the audience on The Masked Singerâs stage!
So when Xian Yu decided to compete with another song against Overlord, many people didnât understand.
Even after hearing âThe Ordinary Roadâ, they still didnât get it.
The song is fantastic.
But it isnât as explosive as âExaggeratedâ!
It was only after learning about Xian Yuâs past and all that he had gone through that they truly understood the significance of âThe Ordinary Roadâ.
âPerhaps Xian Yu is not as concerned about winning or losing the competition.â
âThis competition was a dream come true for him. The final title of âKing of Singingâ is the best reward he could have received. His dream has blossomed. He is the most deserving contestant.â
âPlease be a judge in the next season!â
âLetâs not talk about the next season anymore. The first season with Xian Yu participating as the Prince of Lanling has already set an unparalleled standard, which can be seen as both good and bad news for the production team.â
Indeed.
The first season has become a classic, despite it just recently concluding.
Many people could never forget the moment when Xian Yu won, and the scene of the five Maestros singing âA Laugh Over The Vast Seaâ.
â¦
Of course, Lin Yuan saw the comments online.
When he chose to unmask himself and face the camera, whether his past got exposed or not didnât matter anymore.
This time.
Many people still interpreted his song.
But unlike before, about eighty percent of the interpretations hit the mark this time.
At least in terms of his emotional journey in choosing âThe Ordinary Roadâ, it pretty much matched what everyone had imagined. Lin Yuan had a reason to sing this song during the finals.
At this moment.
Gu Dongâs car stopped at Lin Yuanâs house.
Home at last.
After unmasking himself, Lin Yuan chose to go home instead of returning to the company.
Because he knew his family must be waiting for him at this moment.
Lin Yuan got out of the car and bid goodbye to Lil Goodoong.
Turning around, he saw Antarctica running excitedly towards him from a distance, panting.
Behind Antarctica.
Mom, sister, little sister, all standing at the door looking at him.
He smiled, rubbed the dogâs head, and then said,
âLetâs go in and talk.â
âWhen did your voice recover, brother?â
Behind Lin Yuan, Lin Yao asked curiously.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, âThat day when you ate one less piece of broccoli than I did.â
Lin Xuan: ââ¦â
Mom: ââ¦â
Lin Yao suddenly realized, âSo, it was January 27th!â
How do you remember that so clearly?
Lin Xuan sighed helplessly and said, âDid you want to surprise us?â
âThis surprise is huge!â
Mom had cried while watching the show. Now she had stopped crying, leaving her eyes dry, âWhy didnât anyone tell me about your voice recovering?â
Lin Yuan said, âOh, I told Antarctica.â
âAntarctica, why didnât you tell me!â Lin Yao was not happy and asked, âWho do you love more, my brother or me?â
Antarctica: ââ¦â
I canât answer that question.
Because I am just a dogâ
A super star dog.
After entering the living room, Mom suddenly noticed an apple core on the floor, âWho gnawed this apple?â
Antarctica ran off in a flash.
Big sister laughed and said, âI am a fan of Prince of Lanling. This situation is strange⦠No wonder I felt a kinship when I first watched Lanling. It was my beloved little brother all along!â
âBig sister became a fan of Lanling after hearing the song âI Surrenderâ.â
Big Yaoyao corrected.
Mom smiled. She was the one who felt that kinship towards Prince of Lanling.
Even though she couldnât recognize her own son beforehand.
âOh yes!â
The sister curiously looked at Lin Yuan, âDid you have a feud with Fei Yang?â
âNot at all.â
Lin Yuan never thought that Overlord was Fei Yang.
The sister laughed, âThen why are you always having him end up as the runner-up? At least before, it was your Yu Dynasty taking the win, this time you directly stepped in yourself!â
Lin Yuan: ââ¦â
The situation was indeed peculiar.
Who would have thought that Fei Yang would participate in âThe Masked Singerâ as the âOverlordâ?
Although at the end of the show, the comments were respectful towards Fei Yang and did not rabidly dub him âsecond.â
But.
The playful nature of netizens will not change.
On the internet.
Aside from countless discussions about Xian Yu.
Fei Yangâs comment section was once again flooded with the bright red character âäºâ (second).
Speaking of which.
In a similarly luxurious villa.
The mask and costume of Overlord were thrown onto the sofa.@@novelbin@@
Fei Yang stared at the comment section in despair, âHe even did it himself to keep me as runner-up!â
âActuallyâ¦â
The agent next to him hesitated.
Fei Yang stared at him, âSpit it out!â
The agent carefully said, âThe major music companies have shifted to focus on film production, only Starlight is both working on films and still focusing on musicâ¦â
âSpeak normal language!â
âReflect on how Chen Zhiyu, the original Perennial Runner-up, solved his curse. Maybe this can be a reference for you.â
Fei Yang: ââ¦â
If you canât beat them, join them?
ââââââââââ
ps: End of work.
