Chapter 226 Because of love
According to Bai Xingjian's original plan, he and Feng Shiqi were going to sing the song "Chi Ling" on "The Voice of China 2024" tonight.

Originally, they had almost finished practicing "Chi Ling", but suddenly one day, Jessica got Bai Xingjian's contact information from Zheng Wei, and the two added each other on WeChat and got along quite well.

After knowing this, Feng Shiqi suggested changing the song they were going to sing, "Chi Ling", to "Because of Love".

As for Feng Shiqi's motive, she didn't say and Bai Xingjian didn't know either, he just had a vague idea.

That's why Bai Xingjian took this opportunity to tease her in the stage corridor before, and then he was beaten.

【Special mission triggered! 】

[Defeat Jessica with the song "Because of Love"]

[Rewards: 1 blind box of the work, 1 designated work box]

While waiting for the accompaniment to sound, a task reminder suddenly popped up on the system panel.

Bai Xingjian was secretly delighted. He had prepared to sing "Chi Ling" because he had a mission to complete.

Now that the system has released a new task, it can be regarded as icing on the cake for him and Feng Shiqi to sing "Because of Love".

But this task is a bit difficult.

Beat Jessica?
No wonder the mission rewards are so generous.

As the accompaniment melody sounded, Bai Xingjian calmed down, pushed away the thoughts in his mind, and began to brew his emotions.

In the waiting area at the edge of the stage, Jessica looked at the two people on the stage, her eyes flickering with anticipation.

The soft guitar sound flows out slowly, bringing a warm feeling, as if preparing to tell a beautiful love story.

When it came to the verse, Bai Xingjian sang slowly with the gentle guitar:
"Give you a CD from the past"

"Listen to our love at that time"

“Sometimes I forget.”

"I'm Still in Love with You"

Like the gentle guitar, Bai Xingjian's voice is also gentle and magnetic. The romantic atmosphere is also created by the guitar and Bai Xingjian, as if it can gradually calm people's hearts and immerse themselves in the singing.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of countless audiences. After listening to these words, some audiences also began to think.

"Oh my god, Bai Xingjian, this is too different, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's sung so tenderly. Can you imagine that this is the same person who sang 'A Laugh in the Ocean'?"

"I dare not think about it. I absolutely dare not think about it."

“The contrast is just as great as it could be!”

……

When everyone was admiring Bai Xingjian's performance, Feng Shiqi's singing voice quietly rang out.

“I can’t sing songs like that anymore”

"I would blush and avoid it when I heard it"

“Although I often forget”

"I Still Love You"

The ethereal and clear voice made countless audiences tremble in their hearts just as it sounded.

[Oh my god... this sound!]
[Open your mouth and kneel down!]
[Excuse me, is this the sound of nature?]
[I haven’t heard Feng Shiqi’s voice in two weeks. I got goosebumps when I heard it. It’s so amazing!!!]
Netizens in the live broadcast room were all amazed by Feng Shiqi's voice.

Not only the audience, but also the singers in the preparation room were looking at Feng Shiqi on the broadcast screen with surprise or admiration.

"It's this kind of tone again. Xiao Feng really brought out the ethereal and ethereal feeling to its fullest!"

Liao Bei sighed.

"That's right. I had this feeling when Xiao Feng sang "As Wish" before. Now in this song "Because of Love", this feeling is even stronger!"

Ding Xin's eyes were filled with praise for Feng Shiqi, "What a lark in the world!"

……

"Because of love"

“Not easily sad”

When singing this line, Feng Shiqi looked at Bai Xingjian with a smile in his eyes.

Bai Xingjian also looked back at her, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and sang:
“So everything looks happy.”

The two of them began to sing in harmony in tenderness and sweetness.

"Because of love"

"Simple Growth"

"I can still be crazy for you at any time"

"..."

Looking at their rather sweet looks and listening to their sweet lyrics, countless audiences were infected while enjoying the song.

They couldn't help but think of their own love, missed love, broken love, beautiful love, all kinds of memories and emotions began to flood their hearts.

[The bright moon was there at that time, shining on the colorful clouds returning!]
[He said he got married because his family urged him to; she said she got married because he had a car and a house. If I get married one day, I just hope it’s because of love!]
[If I am not the bride on your wedding day, I will make a CD of our ambiguous chat records, text messages, phone recordings, photos, etc. and send it to your wife, and write on it: Give you a CD from the past, listen to our love at that time~]
[This guy is a ruthless person!]
[Please send me an invitation when you get married. Happy, sad, angry, gentle... I have seen all your looks, and I just want to see you one last time when you don’t belong to me]
[…This one is even more ruthless!]
……

On the stage lit by lights.

Amid the warm guitar music, a string section began to join in. Feng Shiqi followed the drum beats precisely and continued singing:

“I can’t sing songs like that anymore”

"I would blush and avoid it when I heard it"

“Although I often forget”

Her singing voice was still ethereal, ethereal and very stable, and the audience exclaimed "Superb singing!".

When they sang to this point, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi looked at each other and sang together:

"I still love you—"

Bai Xingjian dragged out the word "you". His affectionate look made Feng Shiqi afraid to look at him and she looked away.

A familiar feeling emerged in Bai Xingjian's heart. He had had this feeling before, and now it seemed to be even stronger.

"The first person to look away during a stare-off is the loser!"

"Bullshit! Feng Shiqi is just shy, understand?"

"That's right! There are winners and losers all the time. Do you think dating is a game?"

"So damn sweet!"

"Eat it! I'll eat it hard!"

……

Chinese singers’ preparation room.

As Liao Bei listened to the song "Because of Love", the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

[Give you a CD from the past, listen to our love back then]

This line of lyrics vividly describes his previous experience.

A few years ago, due to some trivial matters in life, Liao Bei and his lover almost came to the end of their marriage.

One day, the two of them looked at each other in silence in the empty house. The long silence seemed to be brewing an inevitable storm.

Perhaps it was during the silence that Liao Bei suddenly felt like listening to some old songs that he had listened to during their school days, so he casually took out a yellowed CD box from the display cabinet in the living room.

Shen Yu, Liao Bei's wife, couldn't help curling her lips when she saw the CD box in his hand.

Does the sun come out in the west today?
This guy finally knows how to comfort people?
Although the consolation trick was a bit clumsy, at least he had started to act, right? Liao Bei didn't think too much about it. He opened the CD box, took out the silver CD inside and put it into the CD player.

The familiar singing gradually sounded, instantly pulling his thoughts back to decades ago, and various scenes of him and Shen Yu in college began to emerge before his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Yu's eyes turned red.

She hooked her finger at Liao Bei: "Come over and sit down, let's have a good chat."

Liao Bei let out a long breath, and sat next to Shen Yu with a slight smile on his face.

He just realized something.

That is, passionate love will eventually become dull, but the feelings in it have long since turned into blood-soluble family affection. You can't feel its existence at ordinary times, but at a certain moment, it will pop up and say: Actually, I have always been here.

After this long talk, Liao Bei and Shen Yu's relationship was restored, and the two seemed to have returned to the period when they were in love.

The two girls in their family were stunned by what they saw.

What's the reason?
Liao Bei really wants to say: Because of love!

Thinking back on these things at this time, the smile on Liao Bei's face became more and more intense, which made Ding Xin beside him feel jealous.

Ding Xin sighed secretly. Listening to the song "Because of Love", she also remembered a lot of things.

But the people you have missed are already missed, and there is no way to go back to the past.

Such a song gave Liao Bei and Ding Xin completely different feelings when listening to it.

Su Ning and Qiao Xi looked at each other and could see some panic in each other's eyes.

The style of this song "Because of Love" is exactly the style of their band Birds and Fishes!
But why can these two young people sing with such feeling?

When Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi sang the song "Because of Love", the corners of their mouths unconsciously curled up.

Even they were like this, the audience at the scene must have been even more poisoned.

This is so difficult!

Suning sighed in his heart. After the live broadcast tonight, he would definitely call Li Xiao and ask him why he let Fenghuang Yufei sing this type of song.

The waiting area at the edge of the stage.

Jessica looked at the two people singing tenderly on the stage, and a thoughtful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Her mastery of Chinese can be said to have reached the level of proficiency, so for this song "Because of Love", Jessica can understand, or rather, deeply understand the deep meaning contained in it.

Even though she has never been in a relationship since she was a child, as a musician, she has written many love songs.

Perhaps this is the natural talent that a creator has acquired without any instruction?

Jessica locked her eyes on Bai Xingjian and blinked, not knowing what she was thinking.

……

"Give you a CD from the past"

"Listen to our love at that time"

"Sometimes I forget that I still love you"

On the dimly lit stage, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi looked at each other and sang the last part of the song.

The music stopped and the two bowed slightly to the audience.

The scene was quiet for a few seconds, and then the audience, distracted from the singing, began to applaud, shout, and cheer, until the sound was so deafening that even Jessica was a little surprised.

Their group is really popular with everyone.

Under the guidance of He Ling, Jessica also returned to the stage and stood with Fenghuang Yufei.

From the perspective of the live audience, Jessica stood on the left, Bai Xingjian stood in the middle, and Feng Shiqi was on the right.

Although there is a distance of about two body lengths between Jessica and Bai Xingjian, this distance cannot stop netizens' imagination at all.

The comments in the live broadcast room have become noisy.

[Why do I feel like Bai Xingjian and Jessica are a good match?]
[Me too! A black sequined suit and a black sequined long skirt, they go so well together!!!]
[How can two black things match? One black and one red is the best match! Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are a perfect match! ]
[That’s right! Jessica is the only one who is beautiful, and Bai Xingjian should not get involved]
[Don't get involved? You're saying this as if Bai Xingjian is not worthy of Jessica]
[I didn't say that, you said it yourself]
[wcnmXXXXX!!!]
……

“I feel that Jessica and Fenghuang Yufei have brought us a wonderful performance!”

The host He Ling held up the microphone and spoke loudly.

Now that the performances on both stages have ended, the time has naturally come to vote. He Ling is also creating a voting atmosphere at this time.

"Currently, the score between the Chinese singers camp and the foreign singers camp is 1:2, with the foreign singers camp leading by 1 point.

Now in this fourth round of competition, will Jessica extend their lead or will Fenghuang Yufei tie the score?
let us wait and see! "

As soon as he finished speaking, the 101 KOLs on the scene began to vote.

Someone from the KOL group said:
"I voted for Fenghuang Yufei for a very simple reason. Their song "Because of Love" made me smile the whole time and made me feel happy."

"+1, I'll definitely let my wife listen to this song "Because of Love" when I get home!"

"Compared to Fenghuang Yufei's tenderness and sweetness, I prefer Jessica's unrestrained and wanton style, so I vote for Jessica!"

“I also prefer Jessica’s stage!”

The time for voting passed quickly.

Amid countless expectant gazes, He Ling received the message from the headset, nodded, and said loudly:
"Who will be the winner of this round?"

"Please look at the big screen!"

He Ling turned around and pointed at the big screen behind him.

Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi, and Jessica couldn't help but turn around and focus their eyes on the big screen.

The voting results are displayed.

Phoenix in Flight: 57 votes.

Jessica: 54 votes.

Fenghuang Yufei narrowly defeated Jessica by 3 votes!

"Congratulations to Fenghuang Yufei for winning the fourth round tonight!" He Ling announced loudly.

There was loud cheers at the scene. Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi looked at each other and clapped their hands with smiles on their faces.

Jessica pursed her lips and shook her head. Although she had expected this result, she still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she saw Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's happy faces.

Usually after the voting results come out, both parties involved in the duel will interact in a friendly manner, such as saying some polite words to express comfort or congratulations.

Jessica and Fenghuang Yufei are no exception.

Feng Shiqi walked towards Jessica first, and the two hugged each other lightly.

"You two sang really beautifully!" Jessica said softly in Chinese:
"I love so much!"

Hearing her fluent Chinese, Feng Shiqi's eyes flashed with a strange color, and she smiled faintly and replied:

"Thank you! I think Jian will be as happy as I am to be liked by a singer like you!"

The hug between the two people broke apart in an instant, and only each other could hear what they said.

The scene of the two of them hugging was captured accurately, and countless viewers exclaimed, "The scene is too beautiful, I dare not look at it!"

Then, Jessica took the initiative to hug Bai Xingjian again.

Feng Shiqi had a faint smile on her face and didn't care much.

This is social etiquette, it's normal.

Unexpectedly, out of the camera's sight, Jessica raised her eyebrows at her and then hugged her tighter.

The smile on Feng Shiqi's face suddenly froze, and it went from laughing to not laughing.
