Chapter 695 - A Good Man Should Be Forgiving



Chapter 695: A Good Man Should Be Forgiving

The live stream continued.

Huang Xing was the first to leave the stage this round. Before the crowd could spend too much time lamenting, the King of Masked Singers was about to enter the next round.

The next round would eliminate another person. It would decide the two contestants that would head for the finals. The drawing of lots began.

Which of the two out of three contestants would remain? Who would make it to the end?

Who would be the one winning the title of King of Masked Singers?

All of that depended on this round.

Backstage, the crew took out the balls with the performance order attached to it.

The audience and live stream viewers were watching intently.

Zhang Tao took one.

Bin Bin took one.

Ye Lingchen casually took the remaining ball.

Peeling the paper off the ball, the performance order was set.

Ye Lingchen was first, Bin Bin second, and Zhang Tao going last.

Seeing the result, Zhang Tao and Bin Bin exchanged glances. Both their eyes revealed a relieved look as they let out a sigh of relief.

The previous round had a big impact on them. It brought them out of the prideful feeling of being a little fresh meat. That was an opponent that threatened them.

The one eliminated was not Superman. That was out of their expectation. Based on their fanbase, it should be able to put them in an undefeatable position.

However, with Ye Lingchen being the first to perform, the advantage he had from the previous round was gone. It was obvious that he lost his chance to fight with them, leaving them relieved.

‘We came to this stage and the winner must be picked from us little fresh meat. This is how it should be.’

Ye Lingchen shrugged uncaringly, putting up an emotionless expression.

Sensei Teng’s brows frowned slightly. “Oh no. This is the worst order of performance.”

“The first to perform. This is not looking good. The order has quite a big effect on the votes.”

Sensei Luo sighed. “Fate is not on our side. However, it’s already quite good that he can eliminate one little fresh meat. It’s sufficient to show them what we’re capable of.”

Meanwhile, Su Mo bit her lips, gripped her fists, and then looked at Ye Lingchen. “Mr. Superman, you can do it!”

“Mm.” Ye Lingchen nodded, then once again passed her another music sheet. “Send this to the person in charge of accompaniment.”

Su Mo’s mouth opened slightly in surprise. ‘T-t-this is another original work?!’

After that, she quickly went to deliver it.

That scene was seen by many of them. That was because Su Mo would run in that direction every time before the competition, and each time, it would be either a modified music or an original song. With that, it turned into something to watch for. Even the camera followed her along.

“Damn, is it another new song?”

“For real? Is he that great?”

“At least the music sheet is new. This Superman is just too much.”

“I’m looking forward to it. If it is, I don’t mind supporting him.”

The crowd was a little worked up. Luo Sisi then walked up the stage, “Next, let’s move on to the second round.”

All eyes were on the stage.

Countless people held their breaths.

The lights shone brightly and then gathered onto the door on the stage.

The door opened, and a figure walked out slowly.

Applause—

The applause for him was less than the little fresh meats, but it was much better than before. Some were even looking at him with a complicated gaze.

Expectant, supportive, disdain, and other emotions were mixed within.

The background music rose slowly.

It had a hint of emptiness to the gentle melody. It was another new song!

Although they had expected that, the crowd still looked at Ye Lingchen on the stage with surprise. They suddenly noticed that Ye Lingchen’s eyes were glowing brightly under the mask, catching their attention. At the same time, he gave off an unconstrained feeling.

He placed the mic by his mouth. All of a sudden, his voice appeared as though it descended from heaven!

“I dreamed of walking the world with a sword.

“Take a look at the prosperity of the world.

“Young hearts are always a little bit of a madness.

“Now you’re wandering the world…”

His broad and deep voice was very charming, causing everyone’s heart to tremble, reaching a climax right off the bat.

Everyone was stunned!

‘T-t-this song—’

Ye Lingchen looked at them, continuing his song.

“The girl that made you sad,

“She’s now gone without a trace.

“Love always leaves you yearning and worried.

“It once left you wounded all over…”

Suddenly, the song rose to a higher pitch. “Di li li li, di li li li den da…”

The entire stage and the live stream was filled with Ye Lingchen’s voice echoing in the listeners’ ears. Although they were just some incomprehensible utterance, it managed to give them goosebumps and sent their hearts racing.

A young man could not resist standing up.

Following that, another young man stood up as well.

Eventually, more and more people joined them as they watched Ye Lingchen with fiery passion burning in their eyes.

Ye Lingchen’s voice once again turned into a gentle tone.

“Everytime I am sad,

“I would stare into the sea alone.

“I can’t stop thinking about,

“Those friends by my side.

“How many are tending their wounds…”

Many felt the song greatly relatable. Even if the youngsters could not understand the previous song, this song resonated with their souls.

Who had not dreamt of traveling the world with a sword? Who did not get hurt by the girl of their dreams and had to tend to their own wounds in solitude?

As for the part of the song with the incomprehensible utterance, it was like an unsubmissive struggle, lighting up the passion in countless listeners.

“Let us toast to this.

“A good man should be forgiving.

“Experiencing the many facets of life,

“The ups and downs of the world,

“This smile is warm and pure.”

Toward the end, the outro of the melody was calm and plain.

However, it was like an ember that set everyone’s heart on fire, especially the guys. Their hands balled up into fists as their eyes filled with tears.

‘Even after experiencing all that; Even in the most helpless of situations; We will remain forgiving and not lose our initial passion. We will continue to provide our best to this world!’

The song came to an end, but the entire hall went into a frenzy. The viewers in the live stream had also gone wild.

Whoosh!

Everyone raised their right hand as though they were giving a toast.

Even the judges and special guests stood up together.

Chen Xiaoyan’s eyes were filled with tears.

Many more had tears streaming down their cheeks.

The melody and the background music stopped.

One second, two second…

Ye Lingchen looked at the crowd, then raised his right hand in a similar fashion, announcing, “Let’s toast to this!”

“Kanpai!” Everyone shouted at the same time.

The live stream’s comments were flooded.

[Kanpai!]

[Superman…kanpai!]

[Hahaha, this song really sang my feelings. It’s true. I suddenly felt as though my life was just a dream!]

[Sob sob sob, this is so good. The last song left my eyes tearing, but this song made them swollen from all the crying!]

[This song put my dreams to words. The moment I heard the opening, my tears could not stop flowing.]

Backstage, the eliminated singers were applauding. Even Zhang Tao and Binbin were clapping along.

“Amazing.”

“Good song!”

That was what they said to the camera.

Meanwhile, a huge storm was ravaging through their hearts.

‘Is this what true skill is like? It’s overwhelming!’

No need for any tricks or ploys. It was just pure overwhelming skill!
