"Listening"
"Jun speaks of the coming year."
"Red Robe Smiling Proudly"
"I saw you," he said.
"Grass overgrown on the graves."
"Look."
"Two Points of Yearning"
"Pulled out"
"Returning to Youth"
"Difficult to describe her enchanting charm."
"Whose eyes hold tears as they smile..."
With a half-ancient melody, from a female perspective, strangely allowing Gu Lan'an to sing about his world, his pure and youthful voice seemed to travel through the years, carrying a peculiar weight of aged solemnity. It was as if he were the ghost of a betrothed maiden who received promises that were never fulfilled, yet still believed that those promises would ultimately be kept.
"Under the Life-Payment Lamp"
The sound of two mournful wails echoed.
"The passage of time ages us."
"Ten years of time."
"When will you be looking forward to?"
"Lunhui Wansheng Naihe Bridge."
After the song ended, Gu Lan'an did not stand up and bow. The host was still immersed in the melody, wiping away tears, and did not urge him. He just sat there, biting his hand, silently shedding tears.
When he sings this song, he puts himself in Zhao Ye's shoes and sings it while feeling his emotions. Whenever Zhao Ye gets drunk, he likes to speak his mind. In his previous life, he once said to Gu Lan An after getting drunk, "Gu Lan An, before you, I never liked anyone. You are the only person I like. So don't leave me, otherwise, I'll be lonely for the rest of my life." He agreed at that time, but unexpectedly, he still left.
Breaking free from the emotions brought by the previous song, Zhaoye frowned as he looked at the person on stage who was crying uncontrollably, regardless of their image. How could such a young person have such complex emotions and cry so deeply because of a song? For some inexplicable reason, his heart couldn't bear it for a moment, and he coldly reminded, "The performance is over, please get up."
Hearing Zhao Ye's voice, Gu Lan'an raised her head in surprise, regained her senses, quickly stood up, bowed, and wiped her eyes as she said, "I'm sorry, I was just too immersed in it."
As the sound of Zhao Ye's voice resounded once again, thunderous applause erupted from the audience below the stage. Seeing the teary eyes of the guests in the front row and the approving glances from the judges, Gu Lan'an knew he had succeeded. The host stepped onto the stage amidst the applause and spoke up to smooth things over for him, "Commitment is a good thing. It shows that you've put in effort."
After finishing speaking, he smiled and said, "Since the contestants have put in so much effort, let's give him a good score. Five seconds left, scoring begins."
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Begin."
After the scoring was completed, Gu Lan'an stepped back to the awarding area, and Fu Xi entered the stage after him. They went their separate ways, and Gu Lan'an didn't get a chance to see his expression. But it's probably for the best. Besides, he didn't care about his reaction anymore. What he cared about was Zhao Ye. After experiencing that song just now and hearing his reminder, all he wanted was to get closer to him quickly and have a good time with him, accompanying him through this period of low spirits.
After Fu Xi finished his performance, he walked over to Gu Lan'an's side, but she ignored him and started talking to the person beside her. Gu Lan'an chuckled and sneered. In his previous life, he had made a fool of himself, always boasting about how nervous he was when he sang that song. And now that he had succeeded, this was his attitude. What a disappointment.
No need to waste emotions on this grass. Gu Lanan shifted her gaze to the profile of Zhao Ye, who was facing her, and felt extremely excited. Later, if I can win the championship, he will be the one to present the award. That would be wonderful.
After three more performances, the show came to an end and the system started to calculate the scores. The one with the highest overall score would be crowned the champion, while the rest would follow in descending order. Much to the surprise of most people, but as expected by others, Gu Lanan won the championship, with Fu Xi as the runner-up and Wei Zhuo as the third place.
