"I'd rather leave all the pain in my heart,
Than forget your eyes,
Give me the courage to believe again,
And walk through the lies to embrace you…"
The stage lights gradually brightened with the music.
Then, the audience's hearts, like the stage, were stirred, and began to show light and courage.
Under this visual impact, the bullet comments exploded!
"Ah, Ting Yu's songs are consuming more and more cigarettes..."
"After experiencing more things, listening to this type of song makes one sentimental due to those experiences. Later, people called this memory, and then they called it growth."
"This song doesn't have explosive high notes, yet it gives me an extraordinary sense of shock!"
"Dark Night Rabbit's vocal timbre and singing are simply perfect, he's like a lonely person telling stories to lonely people, speaking gently and eloquently, yet with an unspeakable strength!"
"The lyrics of this song are very artistic and subtle, so everyone who hears it will have different feelings. It's like a pot of old wine worth savoring!"
"Go, stranger!"
…
"Whenever I can't find the meaning of my existence,
Whenever I get lost in the night,
Brightest Star in the Night Sky, please light my way.
…"
Towards the end.
Dark Night Rabbit put down his guitar.
He spread his arms and tilted his head slightly.
A spotlight shone down.
He seemed to have fallen into an abyss, yet he was glowing!
Fearless!
Brave!
Resilient!
His outstretched hands were exceptionally steady, as if embracing a dream and transmitting this hope to the audience.
On the spot, some people's voices were hoarse from shouting!
Some vigorously waved their lights, even drenched in sweat, they had to release their emotions!
Suddenly!
The lights poured down from the top of the stage!
Like stars falling to earth, transforming into fireflies on the ground, breathtakingly beautiful!
Roar!!!
As if infected by this stunning scene.
The atmosphere in the venue intensified once again!
Just then.
The accompaniment gradually weakened.
As if having gone through a magnificent life, it returned to its initial calm.
The passage of time seemed to slow down considerably.
Many people covered their mouths, waving their lights with all their might.
The cheers from the scene fell silent at this moment.
Dark Night Rabbit picked up the guitar hanging in front of him again and strummed the strings with the rhythm.
Every strum was like a gentle tug at the audience's hearts.
"…
Brightest Star in the Night Sky, can you hear,
The loneliness and sighs in the heart of the one looking up…"
Every time one looks up at the stars, one feels the insignificance of humanity, so insignificant that all the troubles in the world are trivial. Maintaining the persistence of the heart, sincerity, kindness, and moving forward towards one's goals.
Along this road, there are many loneliness and sighs.
But isn't this also a kind of memory and growth?
What matters is not the result, but the experience of striving towards the goal.
…
The performance concluded.
The stage lights lit up again.
Dark Night Rabbit and the musicians walked to the front of the stage and bowed slightly to the audience and judges.
"Ahhh! These lyrics are like memories in every single line!"
"It's so good, this song is definitely the perfect song for driving or running!"
"Actually, according to the lyrics, this is a love song, but the object of affection can be replaced by anything beautiful one strives for. Especially hearing the line later, 'I'd rather leave all the pain in my heart, than forget your eyes,' I was speechless then!"
For a full two minutes.
The emotions of the audience gradually subsided.
At this moment.
The host walked up with a microphone.
"Brightest Star in the Night Sky, how many buried memories have you sung from people's hearts? Thank you, Dark Night Rabbit, for bringing us such a wonderful performance. Next, please welcome Wolf Fang to the stage for the judges' comments!"
After he finished speaking, Wolf Fang came up from backstage.
He stood beside Dark Night Rabbit.
"I admit, Dark Night Rabbit has greatly changed my understanding of vocal performance!"
Yin Na couldn't hold back and immediately grabbed the microphone after Wolf Fang took the stage.
She had always liked contestants who hit high notes, but after being conquered by Dark Night Rabbit, she could also appreciate the shock that came from not hitting high notes. Of course, this was only for Dark Night Rabbit; for others, she still felt the same as before – without high notes, she couldn't gain her approval.
"Dark Night Rabbit, are you related to Daybreak Rabbit?" Liu Huan continued to ask.
He had always been curious. He didn't ask Daybreak Rabbit before because the judging time was limited. This time, Dark Night Rabbit's performance didn't require his commentary, as the audience could hear the soul-stirring emotions in his song. Therefore, he had the opportunity to ask such a question.
"Yes, we've communicated in private." Su Yu didn't hide it, because after Daybreak Rabbit finished her next song, everyone would know she was a singer from Ting Yu, so there was no need to be secretive.
Moreover, her next song had a very different style from Lin Yanyu's, so even if people knew she was a singer chosen by Ting Yu, it wouldn't expose her true identity too obviously.
However, speculation was inevitable, just as people had always speculated that he was Ting Yu. Without conclusive evidence, this speculation would be amplified by many marketing accounts.
"Is this the song that Ting Yu mentioned on Weibo?" Han Qi was more concerned about the song Ting Yu had mentioned on Weibo for those dream-chasers like Zhou Xiang.
"You could say so, both of today's songs count. The second one will be even more impactful." Dark Night Rabbit nodded.
After all, "Brightest Star in the Night Sky" spoke of loneliness and sighs, while "Song of the Heart of a Dream Chaser" better interpreted the courage to pursue dreams, the emotion of not succumbing to cold stares and ridicule. DaFeng Novel Network
"Then I'm really looking forward to it." Indeed, for Han Qi, this song was about healing, but what she wanted was something very exciting and direct.
After the judges commented on Dark Night Rabbit, they began to comment on Wolf Fang.
However, Wolf Fang had held back his strength in the first round, so there wasn't much to comment on. The judges went through the motions to avoid criticism and then cast their votes for Dark Night Rabbit.
Next was Mo Yan, who had been silent throughout the night.
Everyone wanted to see if he would speak up now, given how well he treated Dark Night Rabbit normally.
Finally.
Under everyone's gaze.
Mo Yan picked up the microphone.
He looked at Dark Night Rabbit, his voice a little hoarse from not speaking for a while: "Very good, not many songs can make me cry, this is one of them."
Then, he put down the microphone.
Mo Yan's first words of the night were to comment on Dark Night Rabbit.
Then, without even looking at Wolf Fang, he cast his vote for Dark Night Rabbit.
The voting results were then announced.
Dark Night Rabbit won by a large margin!
At this moment, those who had been trolling finally found an opportunity and started flooding the screen.
They said Mo Yan looked down on contestants.
That he was being difficult and didn't even offer comments.
Meanwhile, Wolf Fang also pretended to sigh and walked backstage with heavy steps.
"Holy crap, this Wolf Fang is too much of an actor, I can't help but want to kill him!"
"This person has taken being a manipulative player to the extreme!"
"When will Wolf Fang be eliminated? I can't stand it anymore. Forget Mo Yan, I don't even want to see this guy acting so demurely on stage anymore."
"I guess he'll stay for another episode. After all, the overall strength of the losing group this week isn't that strong. Daybreak Rabbit's husky voice is completely crushed by Wolf Fang, and Blood Puppet is the same; his skill level is inferior to Wolf Fang's."
"If he's not eliminated this week, then I won't want to watch the next episode…"
As everyone was discussing.
The competition for the losing group began.
At the same time.
Some people in the bullet comments suddenly started posting.
"Hahaha… finally, everyone get ready, because it's going to be incredibly shocking, it'll definitely knock your teeth out!"
"All departments, pay attention, continuous high-energy warning ahead!!!"
