“It’s The Clown.”

“How unlucky of him to have to appear after Li Yu.”

“Haha, it doesn’t matter what he sings now.”

“Li Yu sang really well.”

“But of course. That’s his signature song.”
“But of course. That’s his signature song.”
“Li Yu is still the best when he sings in Cantonese!”
“Li Yu is still the best when he sings in Cantonese!”
“No one can sing Cantonese songs on this stage except for Li Yu. That in and of itself is an overwhelming advantage for him. Even if The Clown performs exceedingly well like Petal Shower did today, it’s unlikely that he’ll win in this round like she did in the previous one. This round will be decided by the type of song, and even if The Clown sings really well, a lot of people won’t compare his song to Li Yu’s Cantonese song. There’s no way to compare them as they are totally different styles and languages. Since there’s no comparison, it won’t matter who sings better. No one will be able to distinguish whose singing was better, so the only thing left to compare is their popularity. And how many people in the studio today don’t know Li Yu? Who wouldn’t spare him some face!”

“Then is The Clown definitely going to lose?”

“Of course.”
“Of course.”
“He can only blame himself for admitting defeat just now.”
“He can only blame himself for admitting defeat just now.”
The audience was applauding, but it did not sound very enthusiastic and felt more like a symbolic welcome. Although there were still a lot of people who were not Li Yu’s fans looking forward to The Clown’s performance and wondering if he would be singing yet another original, the outcome of this round was already very obvious to many of them.

Li Yu did not return to his waiting room and just waited around at the holding area. He looked at The Clown and sneered internally. He even admitted defeat on purpose so that he could try knock me out in the elimination round?

The band’s guitarist said in a speechless manner, “Why are the songs you choose always the ones we don’t feel optimistic about? Of the four songs you rehearsed, it was the other two songs we were optimistic about. So why did you choose these two songs to perform?”

Indeed, The Clown had just hummed along to the melody during the rehearsal. He did not actually sing.

Amy felt that this discussion of theirs would not be aired, so she did not hold back. “More importantly, it’s unfair. This isn’t a music and singing competition anymore. With Sunflower’s antics, it has turned into a popularity contest.”

Chen Guang spread his hands. “That’s why he won’t win. Under the premise that Li Yu had already exposed himself as a Hong Kong singer, and with this atmosphere, it’s almost impossible for him to win if he uses a Mandarin song to verse Li Yu.”

Zhang Ye, though, was in no rush to begin and did not seem to hear the commotion. He was no longer bothered by the outcome. All he could think about was his mother’s messages from earlier. He couldn’t refrain from raising his head and looking in the direction of where his parents were seated. He couldn’t quite make them out in the distance, but he still managed to locate where they were sitting.

As Zhang Ye was in a good mood these days, he had helped them buy breakfast for two days and did the laundry twice. But in the end, his parent’s behavior nearly made Zhang Ye laugh. They thought that there was something wrong with him? They thought that he was in need of money? They thought that he had something to ask of them? And they even quickly transferred 10,000 yuan to him?

He felt very guilty about how little his contributions to his family were. That just by doing a few minor chores at home, his parents felt overwhelmed by his actions. Thinking back on things, Zhang Ye felt very embarrassed as he suddenly thought that he had not been a good son. All of a sudden, he felt like he had a lot of things that he wanted to say!

Zhang Ye was facing his parents. He gently raised his microphone. The moment he sang the first line, everyone in the studio—including the program team, judges, contestants, and the audience—were dumbfounded. They could not believe what they had just heard. Some of the audience members even jumped out of their seats in shock!

I’m not too good with words and don’t know how to express myself that well. I can talk a lot with other people. When I meet my friends, I can chat with them day and night. If someone offends me, I can scold them for three days and nights. But in front of you two, I sometimes can’t even speak a single word. I don’t know what to say or how I should express myself.

Zhang Xia was also in tears as she looked at her pair of aging hands. Tears streamed down her face for whatever reason. When she reached up to wipe them away, she realized that her tears were increasing even as she tried to wipe them away.
