220: Left finger pointing to the moon

The audience below the stage finally had expectations for this program. After the previous live broadcast ended, the director thought he would finally stop being scolded, but he didn't expect to receive even more private messages.

Everyone was accusing him, saying that since there were clearly good singers, look at what kind of trash he had invited before.

The Host went on stage and exchanged pleasantries with everyone for 30 seconds, then began to introduce the first singer to perform and the song he would sing.

Lu Qingyu sat in the lounge, but he wasn't watching the show; instead, he and Su Jixing were both fiddling with their phones.

Su Jixing: "Boss, I've already ordered from this one on Qingcheng Road, you should pick another shop."

Hearing Su Jixing's words, Lu Qingyu silently scrolled down his phone screen to the milk tea shop on Guilin Road. After selecting the milk tea, he set the quantity to 200.

The two of them bought out all the milk tea shops within a ten-kilometer radius.

The milk tea shops didn't expect that even though it was already evening, there would be such a sudden explosion of orders.

Watching the delivery machine frantically spit out milk tea labels, the Young Lady working as a server in the shop was about to cry.

Seeing this, the boss immediately took the delivery service offline, and the five servers in the shop worked together to prepare this single order of milk tea.

The boss went to borrow a car himself; with so much milk tea, a delivery guy definitely wouldn't be able to deliver it.

None of the fans supporting him in the square had left. After the show started, they sat together on the ground and opened their phones to watch the live broadcast.

Every time the camera panned to Lu Qingyu, everyone would chatter away, incredibly happy.

[Little Brother's styling today is so handsome, who did it?]

[It must be Brother Lafa. You can tell by the colors of Little Brother's clothes; Brother Lafa has a preference for colors that ordinary people can't pull off.]

[I want to buy the same jacket as Little Brother.]

[I advise you to think it through, sister. If you really like it, just watch Little Brother wear it more.]

[Do you think we'll be able to see Qingyu today?]

Speaking of this topic, the young ladies supporting him felt a bit heavy-hearted.

In the previous episode, Lu Qingyu rushed straight to the airport as soon as he finished. They had heard before coming that Lu Qingyu's itinerary today was the same as last time. This meant there was a 90% chance they wouldn't see Lu Qingyu, and the remaining 10% was that Lu Qingyu might open the car window and wave to them as he passed by.

[Let's leave it to fate. I'm already satisfied being able to support Little Brother. As for whether we can see him, it depends on whether the Heavens give us a chance.]

An hour later, there were fewer and fewer people in the square, and the fans sitting there began to feel a bit cold.

The weather today really wasn't great. Although it hadn't started raining yet, they could already feel a cold wind.

The captain organizing the support spoke into a megaphone: "I've already taken the photos and will send them to the group later. Those who live far away or feel tired can head home first."

The captain was also being considerate of everyone. She was already very happy that everyone could come together to participate in this activity.

She knew many of those present were students or working people; some needed to go to school and some needed to work, so they tried their best to be considerate of one another.

However, what moved her was that not a single person left the scene.

[I'll wait until the show is over and Little Brother has left before I go.]

[Xiao Yuan, don't you have to go to the company for overtime and a meeting tomorrow? Why don't you leave first?]

Xiao Yuan shook her head and refused. She wanted to wait here and didn't feel tired at all; this was something that provided her with mental motivation.

Xiao Yuan hadn't eaten dinner and was thinking about ordering something to tide her over. But just as she pulled out her phone, four vans drove toward them.

Under everyone's puzzled gazes, the four vans stopped, and then they saw milk tea shop staff wearing uniforms get out and open the trunks.

"Hello everyone, we are the Staff Members of Tea Table. This milk tea is Lu Qingyu's treat for everyone."

Hearing the name Lu Qingyu, the fans at the scene erupted in excitement.

[Ahhh! Little Brother, Little Brother, it's Little Brother!]

[Heavens, Qingyu is treating us to milk tea. He really saw us.]

[Oh my god, I'm going to cry. Who understands this? I heard Qingyu treated people to milk tea last week, and while I was still being envious, I didn't expect to get some myself.]

Now, no one wanted to leave even more.

In the show, the first four rounds had ended, and Levi was standing on the stage, about to perform.

He wanted to thank Lu Qingyu, because it had been a long time since anyone had given him a sense of crisis.

Although he lost to Lu Qingyu in the last match, it had stimulated his long-dormant competitive spirit.

After the Host finished the introductions on stage, Levi stood in the center of the stage.

He was very satisfied with his rearranged song. The fusion of four octaves gave the entire piece a deeper meaning than before.

The stage lights were all on, and as the familiar music began, it indeed gave everyone a surprise.

[It's actually a Chinese song! That's great, Levi is singing in Chinese.]

[His pronunciation is so standard. To be able to practice this song so well in such a short time, he truly is Levi.]

[Levi's competitive spirit has been ignited. This performance is even better than the last one.]

Lu Qingyu watched Levi's performance on the TV, his body involuntarily swaying to the beat of the music.

The musicians below the stage couldn't help but marvel after hearing Levi's rearranged version.

[Levi's musical literacy is so good, and his rearrangement skills are also so strong.]

[I'm afraid it will be very hard to determine the winner of this match.]

Under Levi's rearrangement, this song, "Vanished Love," had transformed from a song worth 60 points to one worth 98 points.

Just as the entire song ended, the singers backstage also broke into a sweat for Lu Qingyu. Levi's performance was too good, and they were afraid Lu Qingyu might lose to him.

The director stood below the stage with his arms crossed. Levi's performance exceeded his expectations; after the rearrangement, it was indeed stronger than the previous version.

The number of viewers in the livestream room had already exceeded 90 million. The director was a bit scared; this was the semi-finals, and if Lu Qingyu lost, he would surely be scolded to death.

After Levi finished singing, he said thank you to everyone in Chinese and walked off the stage. Lu Qingyu passed by him and walked to the center of the stage.

The moment Lu Qingyu stood on stage, countless fans let out screams.

[He's here, he's here! The Little Brother who bears the responsibility of revitalizing the Dragon Country's music industry is finally here.]

[Go Little Brother! Little Brother will never lose.]

Everyone in the square watched their phones with rapt attention, all wondering what kind of song Lu Qingyu was going to sing today.

[Levi's song today, after rearrangement, spanned four octaves. Ordinary songs only have two octaves. I'm a bit worried for Lu Qingyu.]

[Lu Qingyu is quite suitable for singing English songs, but he chose to sing a Chinese song. I don't know how it will turn out.]

The stage went quiet, and everyone looked at Lu Qingyu.

A grand and majestic prelude began, and it seemed as if everyone could hear the sound of a bugle call within it.

Lu Qingyu raised the mic:

"Left hand holds the earth, right hand holds the sky"

"Palm lines crack with lightning from ten directions"

"Hurriedly exchanging time for years"

"Three thousand worlds, as if unseen"

An ancient-style musical feel washed over them. In Lu Qingyu's lyrics, everyone seemed to see a scene of immortals summoning wind and rain.

At this moment, everyone's only feeling was "grandeur."

Levi couldn't understand the lyrics, but he could sense the feeling of magnificence expressed in the song. At this point, he hadn't yet realized that Lu Qingyu's pitch was continuously rising.
