闪电算

Ye Xingguang looked up, unable to control the tears flowing from her eyes as she sang again…

“ye…oh…

ye…oh…

Fate decrees that you’re a tribulation I can never overcome

Protecting me is a sickness, a sickness you suffer from deeply

You say

Anyway, I’m willing

You say

Anyway, I will never regret

No, I don’t want to hear anything

I can’t forget your kindness

But I wish we had never met

Even if you’re the one I can’t ever forget in this lifetime…”

As she sang to the end, she completely lost control of her emotions. Her emotional collapse combined with the soaring high notes broke all expectations about her vocal range held by the guests.

The long-drawn “forget” was the perfect expression of emotion, the soft yet emotional vocals filled with so much depth. Chi Juechen and Xia Yanyan, both knowledgeable about music, eyes misty with tears unexpectedly, found it too late to wipe them away by the time they noticed.

As the song ended, Chi Juechen and Xia Yanyan fell silent, accompanied by thunderous applause from the crowd.

The consistent applause felt like slaps that swelled Chi Juechen’s arrogant face.

Feeling vindicated, Xia Yanyan walked up to Chi Juechen with a wine glass, clinked glasses with her, and mocked her with a shallow smile, “Princess Juechen, world’s best vocalist, do you now admit defeat in Country A?”

Chi Juechen had indeed been amazed by Ye Xingguang’s voice, yet she replied, “I admit that the world’s best vocalist is indeed in Country A. However, it’s not you, Miss Xia, isn’t it?”

How dare someone who can’t even sing well come up to her and be cocky!

Chi Juechen arrogantly glanced at Xia Yanyan, and said nonchalantly, “Miss Xia, your singing can’t even compare to the unknown Ye Xingguang, let alone beat mine. Yet you have the audacity to call yourself the world’s best vocalist?”

Xia Yanyan: “!!!”

She was merely not performing at her best!

However, after hearing Ye Xingguang’s voice, she began to doubt whether her best would match Ye Xingguang’s vocal range. It seemed… like… possibly…

Xia Yanyan frowned, in the field of singing, she always thought no one could compete with her. But upon hearing Ye Xingguang’s extraordinary vocal range, she began to feel uncertain.

Seeing Xia Yanyan’s expression, Chi Juechen guessed her thoughts and sneered, “The strategic withdrawal of the retreating side isn’t laughing at the one struggling. Xia Yanyan, that’s just who you are. Why don’t you give up the title of world’s number one vocalist to the underdog Ye Xingguang? Oh, actually, I made a mistake. It’s more like the advancing side is laughing at the retreating one.”

Having said that, Chi Juechen no longer paid attention to Xia Yanyan, who was similarly humiliated. Xia Yanyan, upset, couldn’t calm her feelings even after reapplying her makeup in the restroom.

After the song ended, Ye Xingguang didn’t return to the banquet hall immediately. Instead, she went to a secluded place to calm her emotions.

She didn’t particularly like singing this song. The last time she made a song list for Mr. Gu, this song was not on it. This was because this song stirred her emotions too much, and she didn’t believe that an average singer could hit those high notes.

Every time after she finished singing this song, she would be depressed for a long time.

While she was standing in the corridor calming herself, a familiar voice caught her ear, “Xingguang, is that you?”

Ye Xingguang turned her head and couldn’t help but frown. How did she run into Yun Chen here?

Shock that Yun Chen couldn’t hide filled his eyes as he walked over and asked, “The girl who just performed in the waterside concert hall, was that you? I never knew you could sing so beautifully. Why are you crying?”
