Translator: 549690339
The lively girl appeared and disappeared behind the cascade of beautiful water droplets, stirring hearts from the moment she made her appearance…
Xia Yanyan was taken aback. That naive little White Lotus was actually going up?
Had she gone mad? Only she could possibly match Chi Juechen’s dolphin tones. Who had given White Lotus the audacity to steal the limelight without knowing her own limits? That’s why she detested these country bumpkins who were utterly clueless!
A relieved smile had appeared on Yi Yujian’s face: “I told you, she wouldn’t back out at the last minute. She doesn’t seem like that kind of person. Let’s wait and see; maybe she is confident in herself, which is why she dares to compete with Chi Juechen.”
The beautiful piano accompaniment creates a perfect rhythm with the vibrant fountain at this very moment. It seems that they are partners in crime, with the fountain faithfully following the rhythm of the piano.
At higher notes, the fountain ascends; at lower notes, the fountain descends; and in calmer moments, the fountain sways, one wave gently following another…
Under the glorious lights, the effect is so pleasing to the eye that it involuntary draws one’s attention.
Then, it was Ye Xingguang’s ethereal singing, echoing throughout the waterfront music hall…
In this song, a sad story is told. Yet, it’s not a lament of resentment or a sorrowful tune. On the contrary, this song is full of rhythm and dynamics, with the challenging dolphin tones that depict her desperation to save a young life. The high notes, skyrocketing, truthfully reveal the emotional turmoil in her heart. She wants to save him, she really does, but she can’t confront his stubborn determination to protect her…
Destiny decrees you’re a calamity I can’t cross
Protecting me is a sickness, you’re already deeply infected
It’s alright, I’m here
No, I don’t want to hear any of it
Your goodness is something I can’t forget
But I wish we’d never met
Even if you were the first sunshine of my life…”
The last “sunshine,” with its prolonged dolphin note beyond human range, shook the fountain and sent water soaring high into the sky. The spectacular scene instantly captured all guests’ attention.
Like the word “Love,” the momentum of the soaring fountain didn’t seem to stop. Upward, always upward…
Some guests had their heads angled upward until they couldn’t anymore, and yet the water still hadn’t descended. Everyone was dumbfounded. This wasn’t just a visual spectacle; it was also an auditory delight.
Before, Xia Yanyan’s song had already won admiration for her wonderful dolphin notes;
Next up was Chi Juechen, who made everyone realize there’s always someone better. His dolphin notes which superseded human limits brought people to their knees. However, as soon as Ye Xingguang started singing, everyone realized what it meant to be limitless…
The seemingly unbeatable Chi Juechen was instantly overshadowed by Ye Xingguang.
“How is that possible?” Chi Juechen’s previously confident expression shattered into pieces in the end.
As for Xia Yanyan, she couldn’t believe her eyes as she looked at the girl on the stage, singing while playing the piano. She had never heard this song before, but even she had to admit it held immense appeal!
“Drip,” a tear fell on the black and white keys of the piano.
As Ye Xingguang’s voice faded, another piano solo began. Her fingers seemed to possess magic, playing solos that relentlessly pushed the pain of her inability to save the young boy’s life to its peak…
