Chapter 179 Failure
In a city more than a thousand kilometers away from Linjiang, there lived a girl named Xiaoya.

Listening to "Rewind" sung by Fenghuang Yufei, she couldn't help but open the closet, and then took out a thick photo album from the deepest part of the closet.

There are many photos in the album, most of which are photos of her and her boyfriend Ajie.

The two were high school classmates and spent their youthful campus years together, leaving behind many beautiful memories.

However, with four years of being apart in college and the pressures of graduation and work, cracks inevitably appeared in their relationship.

Xiaoya looked through old photos, and the time she spent with Ajie seemed to be right in front of her.

"Rewind" by Fenghuang Yufei echoed in the room, and every note seemed to be telling the story of her and Ajie.

Xiaoya closed her eyes and returned to that hot summer. She and Ajie were walking on the beach. The sea breeze blew gently and their laughter echoed on the beach.

Those beautiful moments replayed in Xiaoya's mind like a movie, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Fenghuang Yufei’s stage performance ended. Xiaoya turned off the live broadcast, found the audio source of "Rewind" and continued playing it.

Listening to the song again, Xiaoya's heart also fluctuated. She remembered the promises and vows that Ajie had made to her, but the reality made them drift apart.

She really wanted to save the relationship, but was afraid of getting hurt again.

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Xiaoya's heart tightened. Who would knock on the door so late?

She tiptoed to the peephole, looked through it, and then opened the door in surprise.

"How did you come?!"

Ajie stood outside the door, looking a little haggard, but his eyes were full of determination.

He told Xiaoya that he had been reflecting on his mistakes recently and wanted to start over.

Xiaoya was deeply moved by Ajie's words. She hugged him tightly and her tears fell uncontrollably again.

She knew that this five-year relationship had gone through too many twists and turns and hardships, but as long as they were willing to work together, they would be able to make it to the end.

The melody of "Rewind" continued to echo in the room. Xiaoya and Ajie hugged each other tightly, as if time was also rewinding at this moment, returning to the days when the boy and girl had cried and laughed.

……

"Hahaha, luckily I've never been in a relationship, nor have I ever broken up, otherwise I would be laughed to death by others."

In a girls' dormitory at Linjiang Normal University, Wang Peini said with a smile.

At this moment, the computer screen was filled with comments like [XX I miss you], which was so hilarious.

"You are a single dog who has been solo for 20 years, and you have the nerve to make fun of others?" Liu Yue raised her eyebrows at her and teased.

Wang Pei Ni rolled her eyes and responded, "How dare you say that to me? Haven't you also been a solo artist for 19 years?"

Liu Yue choked and changed the subject: "But this song 'Rewind' really has the feeling of a sad love song. Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi performed it very well!"

Lai Jie at the side nodded with a smile: "Tonight's "Rewind" seems to be the first rather sad song sung by Fenghuang Yufei. It's quite nice."

“It’s really nice, and easy to sing.”

Luo Xi agreed with what Lai Jie said, and she started singing to herself: "It's really hard for me to let go! I finally understand that love can't come back!"

The dormitory suddenly became heartbreaking.

……

"British rock type songs? Interesting."

After watching Fenghuang Yufei's singing stage, Li Zhenxi's mouth curled up slightly, "It's just that this song sounds relatively simple, not so suitable for competition."

Hearing this, Wang Yaqi chuckled and didn't say anything more on this topic: "Let's go, it's time for us to perform."

At this time, the voices of the staff were also heard in the room where they were.

Afterwards, accompanied by their music partners, Wang Yaqi and the other two walked onto the stage aisle.

"Are you nervous?" Li Zhenxi asked.

After walking into the aisle, Wang Yaqi took a deep breath, then patted her chest, looking quite nervous.

"some."

Wang Yaqi spoke the truth and then said with emotion: "It seems that tension is inevitable!"

After all, she has been an opponent of Fenghuang Yufei for such a long time. Although the stage has changed now, Wang Yaqi can still feel some pressure from Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.

"Come on! We can definitely do it this time!" Li Zhenxi encouraged.

Lin Hailun, who was following them, also said a few words, and Wang Yaqi calmed down a lot.

"Next, let us welcome tonight's challenger of Phoenix Flying, GoldenCold!"

On the stage, He Ling shouted loudly.

The camera gave a close-up of Wang Yaqi, Li Zhenxi and Lin Hailun. Warm cheers rang out at the scene and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room also started to fill up.

[GoldenCold, go! You are the best tonight!]
[Look forward to GoldenCold's new stage! ]
[Charge, charge, charge! Kill Fenghuang Yufei off his horse!]
[Come on! I feel like there's a chance we can stay here tonight!]
[stay!]
……

GoldenCold brought a new song called "Close Eyes", which is a singing and dancing song with a Kpop style.

Li Zhenxi and Lin Hailun were wearing well-tailored suits and had very straight postures.

Wang Yaqi was wearing a flowing black dress, elegant yet charming, like a datura flower blooming in the dark night.

As the music started, Wang Yaqi began to sing first. Her voice was clear and pure, and her dance moves were dynamic and full of tension, showing the feminine beauty and strength to the fullest.

Many audience members were watching intently. GoldenCold's stage tonight was the only one with a complete choreography besides that of Mars.

A few months later, Wang Yaqi showed such excellent stage performance as soon as she appeared on the stage, which also surprised the fans of GoldenCold.

[After three days of absence, Yaqi's singing and dancing skills have improved! ]
[Great! It lived up to our expectations!]
[Hahaha! I thought GoldenCold was on vacation during this period, but I didn’t expect he was working hard quietly!]
[Indeed! The three of them are dancing in unison now.]
After Wang Yaqi's part, it was Li Zhenxi's turn. He had a deep and attractive voice, and each dance move matched the rhythm and melody of the music, showing his full stage performance. Lin Hailun's part was not much inferior, and it can be said that each had its own distinct characteristics.

Overall, the three of them cooperated very well on the stage, had a strong sense of conviction, and invested a lot of emotion. Through their eyes, movements and singing, they fully displayed the themes of despair, struggle and affection in the song "Close Eyes".

auditorium.

Seeing GoldenCold perform for the first time, Xiao Wang was amazed and said, "Which idol group is this? They are so strong? How come I haven't heard of them before?"

Next to Xiao Wang, Xiao Du, a fan of GoldenCold, explained for him: "This group is called GoldenCold. Bai Xingjian was once a member of this group. A few months ago, on the program "New Era of Heavenly Group", Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's Fenghuang Yufei fought back and forth with GoldenCold. In the end, Fenghuang Yufei narrowly defeated GoldenCold and won the championship of "New Era of Heavenly Group."

Xiao Wang showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "It turns out that Bai Xingjian was a member of GoldenCold before! No wonder this group is so powerful! I will pay close attention to this group after the live broadcast tonight!"

Seeing Xiao Wang's excitement, Xiao Du couldn't help but smile a lot.

The edge of the stage.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were also sitting here at this time, watching the performance of Wang Yaqi and the other two while waiting for them to finish.

"Their stage performance tonight was eye-opening."

Feng Shiqi leaned slightly towards Bai Xingjian and whispered, "And the song sounds great too. They did a great job combining audio and video."

Bai Xingjian nodded: "It is indeed very good."

GoldenCold's performance tonight is indeed worthy of praise.

"Then do you think they can make it to the top of the list?" Feng Shiqi asked casually.

"This...is not easy to explain."

Bai Xingjian hesitated for a moment, "If we only look at the song itself, the musicality of "Close Eyes" is not particularly good. Only when combined with dance moves can the full charm of this song be brought out."

"This is a characteristic of many K-pop-style songs, but their performance tonight made up for it."

Bai Xingjian did not give a definite conclusion: "It still depends on the preferences of the audience. After all, the choice is in their hands."

At this time, GoldenCold's stage performance had ended and warm applause broke out from the audience.

“Thank you GoldenCold for the wonderful performance!”

Host He Ling returned to the stage to take control.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi and Wang Yaqi walked from the venue to the Singer's House together.

On the way, facing the camera, the group of people just smiled at each other and didn't communicate much.

This atmosphere of silence continued until they entered the singer's house.

As soon as Bai Xingjian and the others arrived, Shi Xue got up from the sofa and came to greet them.

Seeing this, Brother Mars also stood up, and with the help of his music partner, he greeted them with a smile.

Then, everyone sat down on the sofa.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi started chatting with Shi Xue, while Wang Yaqi and the other two started chatting with Mars Brother.

Such a scene also aroused heated discussion among many netizens.

[I laughed my ass off. It turns out there is still a conflict between GoldenCold and Fenghuang Yufei. They don’t even talk to each other.]
[Under normal circumstances, isn't this the effect the program crew wants?]
[Before that, they were still speaking up for each other on Weibo?]
[Who knows?]
……

In front of the computer screen, Su Caitao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "They are all young people!"

[Sister Taotao, do you think GoldenCold has a chance to make it to the top of the charts tonight?]
[I feel that the chances of success are quite high, after all, GoldenCold’s stage is very exciting.]
[What’s the point of having fun? The show “The Voice 2024” isn’t meant for you to have fun.]
[That’s right, this is a singing show, not a singing and dancing show!]
[Brother Mars is still singing and dancing.]
[Mars Brother is Mars Brother, GoldenCold is GoldenCold, how can they be the same?]
[What? Foreigners are supposed to be better at singing and dancing, right?]
[I*****]
Seeing that the netizens in the live broadcast room were about to start arguing again, Su Caitao quickly asked them to stop.

"Can you guys please stop talking? If you keep talking like this, my live broadcast room will be closed down by you guys."

After stabilizing the situation in the live broadcast room, Su Caitao also began to answer questions from fans:

"GoldenCold's chances of making it to the charts aren't very high. Although their performance tonight was great and looked very novel, the audience's focus should be on the music itself, not the choreography. After all, The Voice 2024 is just a music variety show, and a rather old-fashioned one at that."

[Sister Tao Tao is absolutely right! Even though many people applauded GoldenCold at the end of their performance, when the voting results are announced, no one will say a word.]
[Hahaha, if I had to choose, I would only vote for Fenghuang Yufei. There is no other reason. The songs they sang were better, although Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi did not dance.]
[And there should be quite a lot of fans of Fenghuang Yufei at the scene.]
Amid the discussions, the live broadcast screen once again switched to the singer's home, and the interactive host Xiao Shen appeared in front of everyone again.

"Hahaha, I'm back again!"

Xiao Shen held the cue card and said to everyone in the singer's house with a smile:

"Then I will announce the results of GoldenCold's ranking."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Yaqi, Li Zhenxi and Lin Hailun were suddenly worried.

Although they are very confident about their performance tonight, there are too many uncertainties on the scene, so their confidence is actually like a castle in the air and not very real.

Xiao Shen did not deliberately create suspense and announced the result directly: "It's a pity that GoldenCold failed to make the list. I feel bad for the performance you brought tonight."

Hearing the words "failed to make the list", Wang Yaqi just nodded expressionlessly, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or sad.

Li Zhenxi pursed his lips, looking quite dejected.

As for Lin Hailun, he smiled and clapped, and it was unclear whether he was clapping for them or for Fenghuang Yufei.

"Both ranking competitions ended in failure. So tonight, all members of the online singer camp are temporarily safe and there will be no elimination spots."

Xiao Shen continued speaking while holding the cue card.

In the other singers' preparation rooms, Huang Fei and Ding Xin both breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure was almost gone in an instant.

"I've survived another episode!"

Huang Fei rubbed his hands and said with emotion with a smile.

Ding Xin on the other side was in almost the same situation.

However, facing this result, many netizens in the live broadcast room expressed their inability to accept it:

[Why didn’t GoldenCold make it to the charts? Did the audience vote with their feet?]
[That’s right! Isn’t GoldenCold’s performance tonight more exciting than Phoenix Flying?]
[This live voting is not fair at all!]
[The production team is really stupid. If they don’t change the competition system, maybe Shi Xue and GoldenCold will be able to successfully enter the list and directly replace Huang Fei and Ding Xin.]
[That’s absolutely right! This new ranking system is like a stupid setting. Challenge the top four singers and then protect the singers at the bottom, right? Who can succeed in this challenge?]
