Bai Xueâs performance of âWindâ made all the fans in the live broadcast room scream, and the comments were rolling!
It wasnât until the end of the third song that everyone finally moved on from discussing âWind.â
[What did Xinxin sing?]
[I donât know. I didnât pay attention. My mind has been replaying âWindâ all along.]
[My ears are pregnant. Bai Xue and her family sang so well.]
[I never expected Yueyue to harmonize so perfectly.]
[Their coordination is so perfect. Is Bai Xue not a professional singer? I canât hear any breathing breaks in her singing.]
[How could Qi Mingâs family not know how to sing? They must have learned a few songs through him.]
As an audience member, Li Yanchen occasionally glanced at the comments and felt that his singing wasnât bad at all. How come the comments were so different?
He had to sing something in the end. Maybe just a few lines. Perhaps he could do a duet with Lin Wan later.
Then, the children took the microphones. Some sang childrenâs songs, and others sang popular contemporary songs.
[Feifeiâs voice is exactly like my sonâs. They even sing in the same way.]
[Why does it still sound so good even when the lyrics are all mixed up?] [Who can resist the charm of childrenâs voices? Theyâre so adorable.]
[Whereâs Mr. Li? Weâve had five songs already. Why havenât we seen him?]
[Heâs quietly listening in the audience.]
âNext, Li Zexin and Xiao Yi will sing âIron Blood Loyal Heartâ together,â the director said.
[Weâve been waiting for this. Letâs get started!]
[We missed Xinxinâs solo just now, so we must listen carefully to the duet.]
[Iâve got my headphones on. Letâs go!]
Li Zexin cleared his throat. âMy mentor and I will sing âIron Blood Loyal Heartâ together. My Cantonese may not be perfect, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes.â
[Xinxin, itâs rare to see you be so humble.] [I canât believe the two of them would say something like this.]
[Oh, Li Zexin, why are you so modest?]
[Iâve heard your songs on the karaoke platform. Theyâre all 3-star performances. Being overly modest is like arrogance.]
[Exactly! Iâve heard your Cantonese songs, and theyâre pretty accurate.] [The melody is familiar⦠Ah, here it comes!]
Xiao Yi started singing, and after a while, Li Zexin joined in. They harmonized perfectly and didnât sound out of place at all.
This was Li Yanchenâs first time hearing his son sing in Cantonese. After listening to the song, he had even more confidence in himself. Even though they werenât biologically related, they shared the Li family bloodline. The difference couldnât be that significant.
âSon, well done!â Li Yanchen was the first to applaud.
Li Zexin was pleasantly surprised. Had his father lost his composure? Was he seeing things?
He rubbed his eyes. Sure enough, Li Yanchen was still applauding for him.
âBrother Xinxin, Brother Xiaoxiao, I donât understand the lyrics, but it sounded so beautiful.â Feifei jumped up in joy.
âI donât understand either, but it sounds great,â Tutu said.
âBrother Xinxin, Iâm proud of you, â Li Zekai said happily.
[I thought this song was only suitable for couples or solo performances. I didnât expect two boys to sing it together, and it sounds so good!] [Am I the only one who noticed the eye contact?]
[I noticed it too. The Wind God even smiled slightly. Kill me now!]
[Iâm in tears.]
[Who isnât moved to tears?]
The audience at the venue erupted into cheers.
âYoung man, well done,â said Qi Ming and gave Li Zexin and Xiao Yi a thumbs-up.
âThank you all! Thank you, Teacher Qi Ming.â
Seeing that all the songs on the playlist were about to finish, Li Yanchen finally stood up. âEveryone, give me a chance. I want to sing âA True Loverâ with my wife.â
Everyone was speechless.
âWhat? Such an old song?â asked Lin Wan.
[Isnât this song just a few years younger than Lin Wan? Has she heard it before?]
[Wait a minute⦠Wasnât Mr. Li missing from the list?]
[Itâs obvious that Mr. Li saw everyone enjoying themselves and wanted to join in to feel included.]
[But itâs such an old song! Can Lin Wan really sing it? Shouldnât they discuss it first?]
âDad, arenât you supposed to be in charge of the applause?â asked Li Zekai.
[Hahaha, such a devoted son.]
[What Zekai means is that you werenât on the list for singing. Just clap your hands for the others.]
The others remained silent. It seemed that shaking their heads wouldnât work either. Li Yanchen had persevered through several setbacks. They had to acknowledge him. They couldnât bring themselves to refuse him.
Although Lin Wan was full of doubts, she didnât discourage her husband either. âI know this song. How about letting me and Mr. Li give it a try?â Lin Wan said.
âSure.â
âDo you want to practice first?â
âSure, then weâll sing in the next turn.â Lin Wan hadnât sung this song in a long time and needed to brush up on the lyrics.
With his wifeâs support, Li Yanchen felt even more confident.
Second to last on the list was âA True Loverâ by Lin Wan and Li Yanchen.
When the beat started, the mothers waved their glow sticks.
As expected, Li Yanchen went off-key again.
[Help! Mr. Li is here to torture us again.]
[Is there something wrong with my taste in music? Why do I feel like this isnât that bad?]
[Oh my God, itâs coming!]
[I think itâs okay. At least Mr. Li and Sister Wan donât sound that bad. Many cover artists modify the songs these days anyway.]
[I think itâs not bad either. Although it sounds more like a recitation. Sister Wan has been harmonizing the whole time to make it sound less unpleasant to the ears.]
[Mr. Li has courage and deserves praise. Every person who chases their dream despite setbacks deserves praise.]
[This must be a sense of collective honor. Mr. Li doesnât want to be the only one not participating in this segment.]
After the duet ended, everyone reluctantly applauded.
âThank you, Li Yanchen and Lin Wan, for bringing us this heartfelt song,â the director said hastily and introduced the final performer. âTeacher Zheng Kuo is the last performer for today.â
The director was afraid that if he didnât speak up, Li Yanchen would have the urge to sing another song.
Today, Zheng Kuo changed his instrument. While Qi Ming was a singer, he was a teacher. Although both were related to music, one focused on performing music, and the other on teaching it.
Zheng Kuo took the stage as the final act. The production team had their own plans. They hoped that everyone could appreciate teachers.
Zheng Kuoâs voice was deep and powerful. [Teacher Zhengâs talent is incredible.]
[It sounds great. I love classical music.]
[Teacher Zheng is the grand finale, huh? Thank you, production team, for giving Teacher Zheng such a spot.]
[The order doesnât matter. Itâs probably random.]
[Even if itâs the grand finale, Zheng Teacher deserves it.]
Zheng Kuo sang two songs in a row and then bowed. âThank you for listening.â âIt was amazing!â Thunderous applause filled the room.
Tao Jingyuan looked at her husband with admiration. She had been listening to her husband sing and play instruments for about ten years, and she never grew tired of it.
Finally, she stepped forward and kissed her husband on the cheek. âYou were fantastic!â
âThank you, my dear.â
[Oh my god!]
[At this moment, Lavvyer Tao seems like a young girl in love.]
[No matter how stoic a woman is, sheâll turn into a fangirl in front of the man she admires, right?]
