Bama was not a man of his word, but when it came to music, he was quite committed.
He treated music as his faith.
Therefore, Bama was indeed keeping his word at this moment, even though Su Yang had explicitly stated that he could consider the one million US dollars as a fee for borrowing Bama.
But Bama insisted on returning it to Su Yang.

[No way, Bama actually returned the money to Su Yang?]
[I really didn't expect this...]
[It's not just us who didn't expect it; looking at Su Yang's expression, he didn't expect it either, did he?]
[Bama's established image was too strong. Bama is not ambiguous when it comes to music.
I've seen Bama's previous interviews. Due to his original family circumstances, he suffered from severe depression from a very young age. He only gradually recovered after getting into music. That's why he treats music as his faith and never lies about it.

[Hahaha? No way? Bama actually paid back the money?]
[Who feels good? I feel good, so comfortable!]
Doesn't this prove that Su Yang's performance satisfied Bama? It's truly not easy to make this famously arrogant musical genius play to his satisfaction.
[This also proves from another angle that Su Yang has the strength. I wonder which sour grapes will say Su Yang is not good enough!]
[Su Yang played really well. If he were to develop professionally in music, I think Su Yang might become an international superstar.]
[The one upstairs, have some confidence in Su Yang. Su Yang will become an international superstar.]
...
After the money was returned to Su Yang, he felt a bit melancholic upon seeing the deposit notification.
He knew Bama's past through the encyclopedia, but the encyclopedia stated that Bama's flaws were all genuine due to prolonged exposure, with no pretense.
Su Yang thought Bama had no exceptions.
He didn't expect there would be an exception for music.
"What are you thinking about?" Charlie glanced at Su Yang's phone screen, saw Bama's deposit information, and then happily said, "I never expected it, I never expected Bama would actually be a decent person and really return the money to you."
Su Yang pursed his lips and smiled faintly, looking towards Bama. He saw that Bama's gaze had returned to its previous state.
This actually made Su Yang feel a little sad.
After all, Bama should have been a good person.
Su Yang also hoped to interact more with good people; no one wants to meet bad people.
But this was his nature, and there was nothing he could do.
The environment Bama grew up in as a child was unbearable for ordinary people. People who came out of such environments were almost all unkind.
They were kind at first, but kindness didn't put food on their table; kindness brought them no benefits.
So they were bad from a young age, and by the time they grew up, they could never change.
This was something Su Yang regretted to some extent.
But regret was useless. Su Yang was not a god and couldn't go back in time to save Bama.
Besides, there wasn't just one Bama in the world.
Being a saint was exhausting.
The next segment was for the guests to perform their acts.
This was somewhat similar to the military training Su Yang had before school in Dragon Country.
Performing in the evening was for classmates to get to know each other better.
At this time, through the performance, it was also an opportunity for individuals to showcase their charm. After the military training ended, even though the school year had just begun, many couples would emerge.
Mei Mei, as an international superstar and the highest-ranking guest, performed a song after Su Yang and Anna's performance.
Her performance astonished everyone.
It's worth noting that tickets to Mei Mei's concerts were very expensive, and few people present had ever attended one.
But Mei Mei was singing right in front of them, which was an incredibly blissful experience.
In this segment, the performances by actors were the least interesting.
This was because their profession was acting, and there wasn't much novelty to it.
So, only the singers' performances were highly anticipated throughout the entire event.
"Did you prepare a program?" Su Yang asked Charlie.
Charlie shook his head, "No, I can't. I only know how to act."
Charlie added, "Besides, no one mentioned preparing a program before coming on this show. Without preparation, unless you're a professional, it's probably difficult to perform on the spot.
I'm not like you or my sister; I can't just sing when I open my mouth."
"Actually, I also..."
Just as Su Yang was about to say that he wasn't a very good singer, Bama, who had just finished performing, called out to Su Yang.
"Didn't Su Yang say he had two songs released? Since there aren't many people performing right now, why don't you sing one?"
Su Yang understood Bama's inner thoughts perfectly: he didn't believe Su Yang could do everything.
This was simply against common sense.
Su Yang also knew what Bama was thinking.
Although he wanted to prove himself, Su Yang didn't want to sing in front of these people.
"I don't sing very well, so I'll pass. I've already collaborated with Miss Anna, so I won't be performing again."
"Don't be like that," Bama smiled at Su Yang. "One performance is the minimum requirement, and two isn't too many.
There are only a few singers here, and the rest are actors who haven't prepared anything. Since you've released songs, I won't make it difficult for you. You just need to sing one of your own songs."
As if knowing Su Yang would refuse again, Bama then egged on the other guests to invite Su Yang along.
"Does everyone want to hear Su Yang sing?"
The cheers were as loud as Bama's voice. Hearing the cheers, Su Yang knew he couldn't escape today.
Sighing slightly, Su Yang looked at Bama and said, "Alright... but let me say in advance, I really don't sing well..."
Hearing Su Yang's words, Bama smiled knowingly, as if he knew some inside information about Su Yang.
"I understand. Some people rely on auto-tune, but if you can release songs, you're not that weak. Just sing a little, and we'll listen for fun."
