25: "Sorrow" amazes the audience.

"Let's cheer for Lawyer Lü Qing. I ship the QingYao CP."

"I've heard Lawyer Lü Qing sing before. You guys are going to be shocked later."

"He Chenguang is definitely winning this round. He's a professional singer."

"Su Jing can actually play the piano. A Surgeon's hands should be quite good at it."

"Is no one looking forward to Little Brother Lu Qingyu? He's a singer too."

"A singer who just debuted and has no representative works probably doesn't have much experience. Just watch, don't expect too much."

The show began. The performance order was decided by drawing lots. The first was Su Jing, the second was Lü Qing, the third was He Chenguang, and Lu Qingyu drew the fourth spot.

In front of Lu Qingyu were two empty milk cartons. They were props placed there by the show's sponsor, originally arranged in a heart shape, but now there was a gap.

The show started, and Su Jing took the stage first. He played a melodious piece that captivated the Female Guests. Those who liked Su Jing in the live stream also started showering him with gifts, but the elderly Uncles and Aunties in the audience weren't too impressed. It sounded nice, but they didn't really understand it.

Kaluo: "This piece Brother Su played is my favorite. He's so amazing."

Yao Yiyi said slyly, "I just mentioned yesterday that I liked this piece. I can't believe Su Jing played it today. I'm so touched."

Wen Minmin and Bai Tingxin quietly held their breath. Kaluo's expression darkened upon hearing Yao Yiyi's words. Was she showing off that Su Jing cared about her?

Yao Yiyi had the personality of a 'Female Sea King.' Among the Male Guests who showed interest in her, she hadn't given a clear sign of liking or rejecting any of them; they were all in an ambiguous state, except for Lu Qingyu.

However, Yao Yiyi's words also caught Lü Qing's attention. Yao Yiyi was his Partner, and if his Partner praised another man, how could he tolerate it?

Lü Qing took the stage second. Using a Deep Voice and a Bubbly Tone, he sang a love song, his gaze subtly drifting toward Yao Yiyi, occasionally sweeping over Bai Tingxin, aiming to spread his attention evenly.

Bullet Comments:

"Lü Qing is so handsome! I never expected him to be such a good singer. I'm swooning."

"If someone sang to me like that, I'd definitely empty my wallet."

"Oh my God, why isn't he my boyfriend? No wonder all the Female Guests like Lü Qing, I would too."

"Lü Qing, is there anything you can't do?"

"He's so intelligent and sings so well. I wonder which door God closed on Lü Qing."

Lu Qingyu continued drinking his milk calmly, watching the atmosphere gradually evolve from two people to seven. His desire to 'Gossip' grew increasingly restless.

PD Zhao was originally focused on the stage. Halfway through the live broadcast, he wanted to cut to a commercial. When the camera swept over the heart shape made of milk cartons, he thought, "Holy crap, where's the heart?"

The originally intact heart shape now looked like it had been chewed by a dog, missing half of it. And right in front of Lu Qingyu were four or five empty cartons.

PD Zhao: !!!

"Xiao Wang, quickly replace the milk."

"Xiao Lu, drink a little less, or you'll have to go to the bathroom later."

Lu Qingyu heard the voice in his earphone. While talking to PD Zhao, he picked up a new carton of milk and *snapped* the straw into it: "I'll just drink this last one."

PD Zhao: !!! The footage of Lu Qingyu drinking milk all night was enough for their advertisement to be used for a week's worth of promotion.

The milk sponsored by the show was very delicate children's milk, only 120 milliliters per carton. Lu Qingyu finished one in three gulps, so five cartons wasn't actually that much.

He Chenguang watched Lü Qing sing from below and gradually realized that Lü Qing did have some talent. Although his singing wasn't as good as a professional singer's, it was quite impressive.

But so what? In the Hip-Hop Circle, he was a famous 'Small Expert at Hyping the Crowd.'

He Chenguang confidently walked onto the stage. To accommodate him, the three warm lights were switched to seven vibrant colors, creating a bit of a disco atmosphere.

He Chenguang pointed both hands toward the sky and said to the Uncles and Aunties below, whose average age was forty, "Put your hands up and get high with me~"

The Uncles and Aunties below raised their hands blankly. They didn't understand, but they were obedient.

Their legs couldn't jump, but their hands could move.

The live broadcast camera naturally wouldn't cut to the audience's expressions at this moment. To the Live Stream Room viewers, He Chenguang's performance looked completely normal.

It was only slightly awkward for the people present. Lu Qingyu nearly spat out the milk he was drinking, startled by He Chenguang's previous remark.

Get high together? This scene was too much to watch.

The scene was awkward, but it didn't affect the viewing experience of the fans and audience in the Live Stream Room.

Bullet Comments: "He Chenguang is so amazing. He's one of the few hip-hop singers with real skill."

"I usually don't like listening to hip-hop songs, but He Chenguang's song is genuinely good."

"I hear this song all the time. I never realized it was He Chenguang's song."

"Impressive, right? Investing in He Chenguang is a good bet."

He Chenguang was absolutely hyped on stage. The Uncles and Aunties couldn't appreciate it, but the Female Guests liked it, especially Wen Minmin. She was already interested in He Chenguang, and the Stars in her eyes were almost impossible to hide.

Wen Minmin: "Wow~ He Chenguang is so great."

Kaluo: "He's quite handsome."

Yao Yiyi: "Tonight's first place will either be Brother Lü or He Chenguang. What should I do? I want to vote for both, but I only have one Point."

Bai Tingxin rolled her eyes internally.

After a segment of English rap, the entire song finally ended.

He Chenguang was sweating profusely; his undershirt was nearly soaked through. He came down from the stage, feeling extremely good about himself.

He walked up to the Female Guests: "How was it?"

Wen Minmin: "It was amazing. This song is really good."

He Chenguang: "This is my newly rearranged version. You guys are the first to hear it."

Lü Qing felt contempt internally, thinking, who here doesn't understand music? He just added a chord; it's not much different from before.

Lü Qing: "Not bad."

The two words were extremely perfunctory.

After He Chenguang finished singing, the seven people sat together. Although Lu Qingyu hadn't performed yet, everyone acted as if the show were already over, as if it didn't matter whether Lu Qingyu took the stage or not.

They started chatting idly. Lu Qingyu went up on stage and picked up his guitar.

Lu Qingyu had been very popular recently, and since no one had heard him sing before, everyone was very curious now.

"Here he comes! It's the first time hearing Little Brother sing. I wonder what his skill level is."

"Little Brother looks so cute holding the guitar, so serious. I want to pat him twice."

"This is Lu Qingyu's first time singing in front of an audience. Don't mess up."

Su Jixing was also very nervous watching the live broadcast. They had signed Lu Qingyu up for Love Journey as a singer. This was his first public appearance, so he had to stay steady.

Su Jixing had originally thought Lu Qingyu would sing "orchid pavilion preface." That song was truly beautiful, and it was the reason he signed Lu Qingyu. But Lu Qingyu didn't sing it.

Lu Qingyu, holding his guitar and adjusting the microphone stand, got into position. Today he wore an off-white T-shirt with a distressed neckline. The soft lighting shining on him gave Lu Qingyu a feeling unlike his usual self.

He raised the microphone stand and looked at the camera in front of him: "I'm performing 'dispelling sorrow' for everyone. I hope that in the days to come, no matter what difficulties you face, you can confront them strongly.

After Lu Qingyu finished speaking, Kaluo laughed. She muttered softly below, "'dispelling sorrow'? Does that title mean telling people to drink some alcohol when they encounter difficulties?"
