"Thank you for the auditory feast you've given us today, for contributing so many excellent songs!"
Liu Huan picked up the microphone and said to Wang Shu.
In his eyes, Wang Shu was now an incredibly rare genius creator, as well as a singer with considerable skill.
After all, the music industry had never lacked excellent vocalists, but it was always short on excellent composers and lyricists. Someone like Wang Shu, who could both write lyrics and compose music, and also possessed outstanding singing ability, was exceedingly rare.
Therefore, in his opinion, if Wang Shu could maintain his current creative standard, he could very well become a Heavenly King-level singer in the future of the Dragon Kingdom's music scene.
After Wang Shu left the stage, all the singers for this episode had finished their performances.
Brother Han entered the backstage area for the contestants again.
The rankings for the contestants were announced.
In this episode, Wang Shu placed fourth, Xu Yunshang was third, Zhang Ji was second, and Deng Xiaoqi took the first place.
The subsequent positions were Zhang Bichen, Zhou Xing, and Xu Jiaying.
Wang Shu didn't pay much attention to this result.
This was because the song he chose, "What if It's Not Alright," was inherently suited for young audiences aged eighteen, nineteen, or twenty. As such, it wouldn't garner a very high number of votes on the "Singer God" stage.
Achieving fourth place was already quite good.
After all, the top three performers had all sung songs that were considered masterpieces. It was difficult to definitively rank these three songs against each other.
Therefore, the rankings of the top three were merely a reference. In terms of popularity and sales, it was uncertain who would truly outperform whom.
After leaving the television station, Wang Shu returned directly to his hotel and began writing his novel.
Xu Yunshang also returned to her hotel later, lying on the hotel bed and contemplating her future plans.
Before coming to this competition, her company had arranged for her to study vocal music and dance in Goryeo for a year. This meant she would have to leave the Dragon Kingdom for a year.
She was very worried about whether she would still see Wang Shu alive after being away for a year.
This was why she had urgently asked Dr. Bai for a check-up on Wang Shu that morning. She wanted to thoroughly understand Wang Shu's physical condition.
"The sky seems like it wants to rain,
I wish I lived next door to you,
Standing foolishly beneath your building,
..."
As she was lost in thought, her phone rang.
Seeing that the caller ID was Dr. Bai,
She quickly answered the call.
"Dr. Bai, has Wang Shu's health report come out?"
Xu Yunshang asked impatiently.
"It's out. The situation is not very optimistic. My recommendation is for him to seek treatment in the United States!"
Bai Mushan said earnestly over the phone, her brow furrowed as she held Wang Shu's blood test data.
Because, according to all the indicators, Wang Shu's body had deteriorated, and he was even close to death.
However, judging by Wang Shu's complexion today, he didn't seem like a terminal patient on the verge of death.
Therefore, she needed Wang Shu to go to an advanced laboratory in the United States for the latest research, so that appropriate treatment could be administered for his recovery.
"Is it that serious? But I can't persuade him at all, and he probably won't go to the United States for treatment."
Xu Yunshang was at a loss at this point. Wang Shu had told her before not to interfere with his illness anymore.
But if she just let things be, how many more days could Wang Shu's body hold on?
Thinking of this, Xu Yunshang gritted her teeth again, got up, walked to Wang Shu's room door, and knocked.
A moment later, Wang Shu opened the door. When he saw it was Xu Yunshang, he couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
After all, he had written ten thousand characters today, and Xu Yunshang's arrival would definitely affect his writing progress. As expected, women were indeed stumbling blocks on his path to success!
"What is it?"
Wang Shu asked, looking at Xu Yunshang.
"Can I come in and talk?"
Xu Yunshang was a bit guilty at this moment. She could tell that Wang Shu was a little angry when she had tricked him into seeing Dr. Bai that morning.
"I give up, come in!"
Wang Shu opened the door reluctantly and turned back into his room. Xu Yunshang followed behind him into his room.
"Go ahead, what do you need me for?"
Wang Shu sat in a chair and asked Xu Yunshang.
"I'm leaving the Dragon Kingdom for Goryeo soon!"
Xu Yunshang said in a low voice, looking down.
"Do you have an event?"
"No, I'm going for a year of advanced study!"
Xu Yunshang replied, fidgeting with her fingers.
Wang Shu looked at Xu Yunshang with some confusion. This little girl was developing so well in the Dragon Kingdom. Her new album had already been released, so why would she suddenly go to Goryeo for advanced study?
"When are you leaving?"
Wang Shu continued to ask.
"Next Monday!"
Xu Yunshang replied.
"The recording for the show isn't even finished by next Monday. Are you planning to withdraw directly?"
"I'm a substitute singer to begin with. If I withdraw, someone else will come to fill my spot!"
"Then I wish you a safe journey! Take good care!"
Wang Shu said with a smile, comforting Xu Yunshang, who looked dejected.
"But, will you still be alive when I come back in a year?"
Xu Yunshang finally raised her head with determination, her eyes moist with tears as she looked at Wang Shu and asked.
"What kind of question is that? Do you want me gone so badly? If I were gone, who would save the Dragon Kingdom's music scene? The Dragon Kingdom's entertainment industry would lose a superstar!"
Wang Shu said very casually. Was he someone who could die so easily?
However, in the next moment, he suddenly realized the seriousness of this question. He did indeed seem to die easily, including now, with only twenty to thirty days of lifespan left.
But a year had more than three hundred days, and he wasn't sure if he could last that long.
"But Dr. Bai said your condition is not optimistic and recommended that you seek professional, advanced medical treatment in the United States as soon as possible."
Xu Yunshang stared intently at Wang Shu and said.
"The United States? What advanced medical care do they have? They just want to scam me out of my money. It's not easy for me to earn money by saving every penny. Why should I be a sucker and give them both people and money?"
Wang Shu immediately became unhappy upon hearing about going to the United States.
He was very resistant to the United States. Moreover, he knew his illness better than anyone else.
Since it couldn't be cured no matter where he went, instead of wasting so much money, he might as well buy more cutting-edge technology and donate it to the country. This would contribute to the nation and extend his life – a win-win situation.
"But if you don't go, I don't know if I'll be able to see you again when I return! Although we haven't known each other for long, I don't want you to leave like this. Your fans don't want you to either."
Xu Yunshang looked at Wang Shu's face and said earnestly.
