Chapter 555: Chapter 524: The Correct Way to Open_1

This deeply moving emotion lingered in everyone’s hearts, refusing to fade.

Fans of Xian Yu couldn’t resist tearing up in the face of such sentimentality.

Then, someone mentioned “Life Like A Summer Flower.”

It logically followed.

“If I’m not mistaken, ‘Life Like A Summer Flower’ might be a reflection of Xian Yu’s feelings at some point.”

“Fits perfectly.”

“The refrain of that song goes: ‘I am this dazzling moment, the fleeting flame across the sky, I would risk everything for you to see me, I will extinguish and never return… Back then, very few people would have associated death with this song.”

Ephemeral as a startled wild goose!

Radiant like a summer flower!

The meaning expressed by this song is somewhat similar to ‘The Ordinary Road’, yet distinctly different.

The difference lies in that ‘Life Like A Summer Flower’ is about loss of hope, wanting only to shine brightly one more time.

Whereas ‘The Ordinary Road’ is much more broad-minded.

The phrase “I used to be” in the refrain is ‘Life Like A Summer Flower’.

But now it’s just “used to be.”

The last line ‘Where is your story at’ conveys more of a hopeful future.

Because he is still on this journey.

He is still creating and delivering new songs to his fans.

At this moment.

Many people felt relieved.

Thankfully, Xian Yu has recovered.

Thankfully, he can still compose creation.

Thankfully, he has realized his dream of singing.

For a while.

Many people felt deeply moved.

These interviews, these discussions, swept across the internet in a short span of time.

More and more people learned about Xian Yu’s fragile and desperate past overshadowed by the halo of the Maestro.

“Unimaginable.”

“The lyrics subtly reveal a tendency—Xian Yu once contemplated ending his own life.”

“Thank heavens he didn’t give up.”

“I believe the heavens still took care of him, the chance of recovery from a terminal illness is slim.”

“Enough chit-chat, I’m going to download these two songs.”

“So this is how to truly appreciate ‘Life Like A Summer Flower’.”

“So…this is how to understand ‘The Ordinary Road’.”

“Now I completely understand why Xian Yu chose to sing ‘The Ordinary Road’ at the finals, because only this song can express his current feelings and insights.”

“…”

If it’s about competitive performance sheathed in the ambiance of that time, ‘Exaggerated’ should be the song with the strongest competitive potential and easiest way to captivate the audience on The Masked Singer’s stage!

So when Xian Yu decided to compete with another song against Overlord, many people didn’t understand.

Even after hearing ‘The Ordinary Road’, they still didn’t get it.

The song is fantastic.

But it isn’t as explosive as ‘Exaggerated’!

It was only after learning about Xian Yu’s past and all that he had gone through that they truly understood the significance of ‘The Ordinary Road’.

“Perhaps Xian Yu is not as concerned about winning or losing the competition.”

“This competition was a dream come true for him. The final title of ‘King of Singing’ is the best reward he could have received. His dream has blossomed. He is the most deserving contestant.”

“Please be a judge in the next season!”

“Let’s not talk about the next season anymore. The first season with Xian Yu participating as the Prince of Lanling has already set an unparalleled standard, which can be seen as both good and bad news for the production team.”

Indeed.

The first season has become a classic, despite it just recently concluding.

Many people could never forget the moment when Xian Yu won, and the scene of the five Maestros singing ‘A Laugh Over The Vast Sea’.

Of course, Lin Yuan saw the comments online.

When he chose to unmask himself and face the camera, whether his past got exposed or not didn’t matter anymore.

This time.

Many people still interpreted his song.

But unlike before, about eighty percent of the interpretations hit the mark this time.

At least in terms of his emotional journey in choosing ‘The Ordinary Road’, it pretty much matched what everyone had imagined. Lin Yuan had a reason to sing this song during the finals.

At this moment.

Gu Dong’s car stopped at Lin Yuan’s house.

Home at last.

After unmasking himself, Lin Yuan chose to go home instead of returning to the company.

Because he knew his family must be waiting for him at this moment.

Lin Yuan got out of the car and bid goodbye to Lil Goodoong.

Turning around, he saw Antarctica running excitedly towards him from a distance, panting.

Behind Antarctica.

Mom, sister, little sister, all standing at the door looking at him.

He smiled, rubbed the dog’s head, and then said,

“Let’s go in and talk.”

“When did your voice recover, brother?”

Behind Lin Yuan, Lin Yao asked curiously.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, “That day when you ate one less piece of broccoli than I did.”

Lin Xuan: “…”

Mom: “…”

Lin Yao suddenly realized, “So, it was January 27th!”

How do you remember that so clearly?

Lin Xuan sighed helplessly and said, “Did you want to surprise us?”

“This surprise is huge!”

Mom had cried while watching the show. Now she had stopped crying, leaving her eyes dry, “Why didn’t anyone tell me about your voice recovering?”

Lin Yuan said, “Oh, I told Antarctica.”

“Antarctica, why didn’t you tell me!” Lin Yao was not happy and asked, “Who do you love more, my brother or me?”

Antarctica: “…”

I can’t answer that question.

Because I am just a dog—

A super star dog.

After entering the living room, Mom suddenly noticed an apple core on the floor, “Who gnawed this apple?”

Antarctica ran off in a flash.

Big sister laughed and said, “I am a fan of Prince of Lanling. This situation is strange… No wonder I felt a kinship when I first watched Lanling. It was my beloved little brother all along!”

“Big sister became a fan of Lanling after hearing the song ‘I Surrender’.”

Big Yaoyao corrected.

Mom smiled. She was the one who felt that kinship towards Prince of Lanling.

Even though she couldn’t recognize her own son beforehand.

“Oh yes!”

The sister curiously looked at Lin Yuan, “Did you have a feud with Fei Yang?”

“Not at all.”

Lin Yuan never thought that Overlord was Fei Yang.

The sister laughed, “Then why are you always having him end up as the runner-up? At least before, it was your Yu Dynasty taking the win, this time you directly stepped in yourself!”

Lin Yuan: “…”

The situation was indeed peculiar.

Who would have thought that Fei Yang would participate in ‘The Masked Singer’ as the ‘Overlord’?

Although at the end of the show, the comments were respectful towards Fei Yang and did not rabidly dub him “second.”

But.

The playful nature of netizens will not change.

On the internet.

Aside from countless discussions about Xian Yu.

Fei Yang’s comment section was once again flooded with the bright red character “二” (second).

Speaking of which.

In a similarly luxurious villa.

The mask and costume of Overlord were thrown onto the sofa.

Fei Yang stared at the comment section in despair, “He even did it himself to keep me as runner-up!”

“Actually…”

The agent next to him hesitated.

Fei Yang stared at him, “Spit it out!”

The agent carefully said, “The major music companies have shifted to focus on film production, only Starlight is both working on films and still focusing on music…”

“Speak normal language!”

“Reflect on how Chen Zhiyu, the original Perennial Runner-up, solved his curse. Maybe this can be a reference for you.”

Fei Yang: “…”

If you can’t beat them, join them?
