Chapter 426: Chapter 427: Wave of Questioning

Yang Xingxin’s voice is warmer and more resonant than He Jinxia’s, with a hint of huskiness, a voice that instantly makes people feel it’s full of stories.

In the climax, He Jinxia’s voice joins in, and the two sing together:

"When I grow up, I can only run, how afraid I am to fall in the dark, hello tomorrow, smiling with tears~"

"Every time I cry, I run with a smile, losing on one side, searching on the other, hello tomorrow, how tiny my voice is, yet reminding me what bravery is~~"

In their school days, faced with the pressure of a heavy academic workload, everyone was ardently yearning to grow up, even to start working.

But after truly leaving the campus and entering an even more complex society, with tangled interpersonal relationships, deceitful workplaces, and the cruel competition of society... it all makes one long for the carefree days on campus.

Time won’t pause at your most beautiful moments because you resist, it silently moves you forward, and when you snap out of it, you find the marks of years already on you.

There is no Eden Garden-like place in the world; a beautiful life has to be created by oneself. Strive to run, struggle fiercely, live freely, regardless of the outcome, only for this life—

To not fail youth, to not fail the passing years.

The song "Hello Tomorrow," with the unique voices of He Jinxia and Yang Xingxin, gave the audience in the concert venue a wonderful audiovisual experience.

A fast-paced song excites and energizes, while a slow song can touch the softest corner of a person’s heart.

As the singing came to an end, the whole audience joined in the chorus, some crying as they sang, some roaring, some smiling...

The myriad of human emotions, left for one to slowly savor.

The lights dimmed again, and He Jinxia immediately took the seat lift down the stage for a quick costume change.

She had another song to sing, a trio, and with the span of one song, aside from changing, she also had to touch up her makeup urgently.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and as Yang Xingxin and the invited male singer were wrapping up their song, He Jinxia was already prepared. She glanced at Cheng Xiaohua, who was standing by the backstage door, smiled faintly at her, and waved her hand, signaling her not to be so nervous.

Cheng Xiaohua squeezed out a stiff smile and shouted, "Go for it!"

As the intro to the new song began, He Jinxia rode the elevator to the stage.

When she arrived on stage, another singer had already started singing.

The male singer’s voice was a classic husky voice that bore a sense of vicissitudes no matter what he sang, but his sorrow was also tinged with tenderness, qualitatively different from singers who could only scream.

Pure piano sounds were slowly woven with the cello’s tones, Yang Xingxin’s voice winding up in it, complementing the male singer’s husky voice.

A song titled "Fulfill," sung as if a couple’s love and hate, even their entire entanglement, were unfolding before one’s eyes, making the chest feel a suffocating discomfort.

Vibrant and soaring violin sounds suddenly interjected, increasingly building up, creating an instant atmosphere of tension.

In the darkness, a soft light shone on He Jinxia, who was furthest back. As her figure appeared, her clear voice also carried over:

"Not for the sake of an absurd pride, all the sorrow left behind on the day we parted, it’s not that only forever could be regarded as complete love, one person’s fulfillment is better than the entanglement of three~"

The three began to sing this part together:

"I gave you so many years of youth, in exchange for a simple ’thank you for your fulfillment’~

Fulfilling your carefree adventures, fulfilled my blue skies and seas~

He offered you vows of undying love sweet as honey, all I have is a statement of unregretful fulfillment~

"Fulfill your today and tomorrow, fulfilled my next summer..."

A sad love song was turned into a release of acceptance by the trio’s performance.

Let go, it’s better for both parties.

Strive to take off, in search of your own wonderful life.

Not every love that cuts deep can last till the end, understanding and choosing to part ways is more important than being open-hearted and optimistic.

No one is destined to be a certain someone in another’s life. Being fated to love is destiny, and if there’s no fate to stay together, don’t regret it. After braving a thousand trials, the one for you is on the other side, waiting for you to discover, to meet, and to spend your life with.

When the song ended, thunderous applause erupted from the audience!

He Jinxia’s chest rose and fell as she watched the dancing fluorescent lights, listening to the rising and falling voices of the people, enveloping her like the tide.

Amidst Yang Xingxin and the male singer’s calls, there were also faint voices shouting her name, He Jinxia smiled sincerely.

She bowed deeply to the audience, formally leaving the stage.

Below the stage, He Jinxia couldn’t help but touch her heart, its powerful beat thudding non-stop, so fast it was heart-stopping.

He Jinxia slowly closed her eyes.

He Jinxia, I have fulfilled your wish of opening a concert.

In the future, I will use your body to move forward step by step, do my best to reach the pinnacle!

Her heartbeat suddenly "thumped" loudly, as if responding to He Jinxia from the past.

He Jinxia’s lips curled into a slight smile, and even with her eyes closed, she still seemed to glow brightly.

Cheng Xiaohua, seeing He Jinxia had not exited the passage for a while, hurried in to check. As she pushed the door open, she saw He Jinxia’s smile lighten her breath at that moment.

It felt as if Jinxia was going to ascend to immortality in the next moment, somewhat surreal.

In another world—the virtual world—netizens’ doubts about Sheng Yan were not yet over.

Following the article pointing out the flaws in "World’s" high start but low continuation, other media voiced their opinions, saying that given the popularity and fame of "World," its current results are somewhat mismatched with expectations.

V-Sleuth: "Including promotional expenses, ’World’ must have invested over two billion, right? Just Sheng Yan’s appearance fee is as high as the capped price of two hundred million for A-list actors, and other first-tier young actors’ fees won’t be much less, plus location fees, a large number of extras, etc., filming a day’s scene would burn through hundreds of thousands.

With only a hundred billion in box office revenues now, considering the split with movie theaters, getting thirty percent is already good, so it looks like ’World’ has barely broken even??"

V-Famous Film Critics Group: "Has Sheng Yan’s popularity declined? Think about the foreign blockbuster he starred in last year, which broke through one hundred billion just on the third day of release. Now it’s already the seventh day for ’World,’ which has only just reached the hundred billion mark, direct decline by two-fold!"

V-Zhou Lang Entertainment: "Sheng Yan’s fame falls, superstar status unsteady!"

Switching on the phone, a glance revealed it was all full of doubts about Sheng Yan, with a hidden trend of turning negative.

Sheng Yan rose too fast.

He didn’t act in many movies, but each one was a hit, each one award-winning, and later, the Huaxia Military Department even gave him a boost, making him the spokesperson for the military, and he even starred in a critically acclaimed national movie.

During that period, nearly one in ten people in Huaxia had seen that movie, providing him with a stepping stone to become a superstar.
