Chapter 236: Singing Non-Stop
"A pot of wandering, wandering around the world is hard to swallow"

"After you left, the wine warmed the memories and made me thin"

"Water flows eastward, how can time be stolen?"

"The flowers bloom and mature once, but I missed it"

On the stage, Bai Xingjian was playing the piano and singing.

He lowered his voice so much that his singing now deviated somewhat from the timbre of his previous singing.

In addition, Bai Xingjian deliberately tried to stick to Gu Zetao's voice, so even after singing for a short while, not many audience members noticed that the person singing on the stage was not Gu Zetao.

"Who is playing the pipa, a song is broken by the east wind"

"The years are peeling off the wall, and I see my childhood"

"I still remember that we were still very young"

"But now the sound of the piano is faint, but you haven't heard my waiting."

When it came to the chorus, Bai Xingjian sang a little louder, and his voice was slightly different from before, but still not many viewers noticed that there was something wrong.

As for the lights on the stage, they were still very dim, and one could only see a black figure playing the piano and singing. It could be said that there was basically nothing to see, so many viewers' attention was focused on the lyrics displayed on the giant screen.

The sad melody, with lyrics filled with regret, made many viewers feel emotional.

"I have to say, this song is really well written!"

In a corner of the audience, Wang Pei Ni said with emotion: "However, this lyric feels a bit like Bai Xingjian's style. What's the matter?"

"Don't say it, you really don't say it."

Liu Yue raised her eyebrows. "If this wasn't Gu Zetao's concert, I would definitely think that the person singing on the stage right now was Bai Xingjian. The styles are really similar!"

Lai Jie nodded in agreement and said, "Maybe this song was written by Bai Xingjian for Gu Zetao. The style is exactly the same as his previous ancient style songs."

"But why do I feel that Gu Zetao's voice when singing this song is a bit similar to Bai Xingjian's?"

Luo Xi frowned in confusion. She always felt that the person singing on the stage was Bai Xingjian.

“It is indeed quite similar.”

Lai Jie also had the same feeling, "Maybe it's because the style and singing methods of the songs are similar, so we feel that today's Gu Zetao and Bai Xingjian are very similar."

At this point, the song has entered the interlude stage.

The sad sound of the erhu seemed to tell the story of separation and parting, which deeply touched the audience.

“Why is this song so sad?”

While recording the video, Liao Xiaoqing complained: "And it feels weird."

She adjusted the magnification of her mobile phone camera, and soon the figure displayed on the screen became much clearer.

After taking a closer look, Liao Xiaoqing frowned even more.

Soon, an idea emerged in her mind, and Liao Xiaoqing was stunned.

——The person singing on the stage was not Gu Zetao, but Bai Xingjian!

In addition to liking Gu Zetao, Liao Xiaoqing is also a loyal fan of Bai Xingjian, so she is very familiar with the voices and physical characteristics of both of them.

Although Gu Zetao and Bai Xingjian have very similar body shapes, Liao Xiaoqing has an amplifier in her hand. She already had this idea in mind. In addition, the new song was sung for such a long time and the live camera didn't dare to cut to a close-up of the person on the stage. These doubts made Liao Xiaoqing more determined in her thoughts.

She turned her head and whispered to Liao Bei beside her: "Dad, have you noticed that the person singing on the stage right now is not Gu Zetao, but Bai Xingjian! Do you know Bai Xingjian?!"

Liao Bei was listening to the song attentively at this moment. He was a little surprised when he was interrupted.

"Huh? What? The person on the stage is not Gu Zetao but Bai Xingjian?"

Liao Xiaoqing was very satisfied with Liao Bei's reaction, and she began to patiently explain how she discovered this.

Seeing his precious daughter talking with relish, Liao Bei felt very happy.

Because very early on, probably not long after Bai Xingjian started singing a few lines, Liao Bei discovered that the person singing on the stage was not Gu Zetao, but Bai Xingjian.

As for why Liao Bei was so sure, firstly, it was inseparable from his professional qualities, and secondly, during the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024", Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi had promised Gu Zetao that they would appear as special guests at his concert, so Liao Bei had a good idea in his mind.

At this moment, "Dong Feng Po" has reached its final stage.

On the stage, Bai Xingjian pulled the microphone off the microphone stand, stood up and began walking towards the front of the stage.

At this time, the camera finally gave a close-up of Bai Xingjian.

When his close-up image appeared on the screen, the audience suddenly burst into uproar and screams, as if it could directly drown out the stage speakers.

"Ah? Who is this? Isn't this Gu Zetao?"

"Fuck! This is Bai Xingjian! This is fucking Bai Xingjian!"

“Ahhh! I was wondering… I was wondering why his voice sounded so similar to Bai Xingjian’s! Turns out it’s Bai Xingjian himself!”

"Oh my god! This is amazing!"

"So even Bai Xingjian is here, Feng Shiqi will come too, right?"

Amid the calls of countless audience members, Bai Xingjian smiled, raised the microphone, waved his hand and greeted everyone:

"Good evening, everyone! You didn't expect that the person singing "Dong Feng Po" on the stage is me, Bai Xingjian."

The subtitles of his speech were displayed in real time on the big screen, so everyone could clearly see the name of the song sung by Bai Xingjian.

"So this song is called 'Dong Feng Po'?"

"That's it? I'm so sorry, I guessed the name of the song when I was listening to it just now."

"That's right, who made the words 'Dongfeng Po' appear so frequently?"

The audience was talking about it, but the music had not stopped yet. Bai Xingjian continued to sing and ended "Dong Feng Po".

However, once the audience's emotions were aroused, it was not easy to end the show.

When Bai Xingjian sang the last part, the audience was filled with screams.

If the task had not been completed before, Bai Xingjian was not sure whether the task given by the system could be completed.

[Congratulations to the host for singing "Dong Feng Po" and making 10000 listeners feel the "sorrow of separation" in the song! ]

[Task completion reward: song "Red Dust Inn"*1, attribute points*5]

"I will lead you along the ancient path outside the fence"

"The Years of Smoke and Grass"

“Even the breakup was silent.”

At the end of the song, Bai Xingjian tried his best to restrain himself and immerse himself in the emotion of "Dong Feng Po".

Fortunately, he was very resistant to interference. Even though the screams and cheers of the audience tried to drown him out, Bai Xingjian still sang the last line steadily.

Perhaps influenced by him, the audience also quieted down and listened quietly to the weeping erhu music at the end of "Dong Feng Po".

"It sounds so good! This erhu has such a feeling!" Wang Pei Ni exclaimed in a corner of the audience.

"I just want to say that Bai Xingjian deceived me so badly!"

Liu Yue gnashed her teeth, obviously she had not yet recovered from Bai Xingjian's "deception".

Lai Jie also clenched her fists.

They were all fooled by Bai Xingjian!

"Ha ha ha ha."

Instead, Luo Xi smiled heartlessly, "I had a feeling that it was Bai Xingjian singing on the stage, but I didn't expect it to be him. It was quite a surprise."

"I just want to say that I made the right decision to come to this concert! It was a real steal!"

Wang Penny said happily, "Not only can I listen to Gu Zetao singing, but I can also listen to Bai Xingjian's new song. It's perfect!"

As she was talking, Wang Pei Ni turned around, hugged Lai Jie, and kissed her hard on the face several times:

"Xiao Jiejie, thank you so much this time!"

"You're welcome. Thank you too."

Lai Jie wiped the saliva from her face and spoke with disgust.

While the girls were still discussing, the stage lights dimmed and a clear guitar melody sounded.

The organizers of this concert did not continue to be mysterious and directly displayed the information of the performance repertoire on the big screen. [Virtual]

【Singer: Feng Shiqi】

【Lyrics: Bai Xingjian】

【Composition: Bai Xingjian】

【Arranger: Bai Xingjian】

When seeing these contents, nearly 20,000 audience members at the scene became excited again.

“Goddess Feng! Goddess Feng is actually here!!!”

"Aaaaaah! What kind of divine concert is this tonight!"

“‘Virtual’! This is the song I’ve been waiting to release for a long time!”

"Happy! Happy! I am so happy tonight!!!"

A beam of light fell on the lift platform, and Feng Shiqi, wearing a white dress, slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

When the rhythm was right, she raised the microphone and sang softly:

"Stubborn Rhyming Parallelism"

"Stubborn and childish rhyme"

"The camp was put together in bits and pieces"

What’s amazing is that Feng Shiqi just sang a few lines and many audience members started singing along.

She blinked in surprise.

It seems like everyone likes this song?

Thinking of this, Feng Shiqi felt happier and her singing became better.

"The meaning of stubborn beauty"

"Stubborn and empty beauty"

"I met you in the air"

Listening to this beautiful singing voice and the singing along that almost spread to the entire audience, Gu Zetao couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.

He looked at Bai Xingjian and said with emotion: "I knew it! I knew this would happen when you sang!"

Gu Zetao's eyes were filled with envy.

It’s not like there’s never been a chorus of the whole audience singing along when he sang before, but this is his concert, so isn’t a chorus a natural thing?

What he envied was the influence of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi. They could get the audience to sing along at other people's concerts. It was simply outrageous!

“Maybe girls like this song more.”

Bai Xingjian was actually a little surprised. The song "Virtual" had not been officially released yet. At the beginning, he just released some clips for recording short videos.

Nowadays, the audience can sing along just by looking at the lyrics, which is truly amazing.

“But I have to say, this song is really good!”

Gu Zetao praised and his eyes fell on the broadcast screen, watching intently.

Bai Xingjian felt the same way.

He already liked the song "Virtual" very much, and now that it was sung by Feng Shiqi, he liked it even more.

……

"You are the intimacy that I have never had and cannot capture"

"But I have your kiss, your soul, your heart"

"Carry me flying, flying, flying"

“Beyond the Meaning”

Feng Shiqi stood on the high platform and sang calmly.

With the mist spraying around the stage, she looked like she was singing in a fairy palace, with an ethereal air about her.

"You are my virtual companion who is always by my side and within my reach"

"Accompany me like paper and pen like myself like raindrops"

"Watch me fall, fall, fall into the clouds"

The beautiful singing touched the hearts of countless listeners.

The audience who came to see Gu Zetao were mostly women. Now, as they listened to Feng Shiqi's song "Virtual", all kinds of emotions came to their mind.

A corner of the auditorium.

Xiao Lin and Xiao Li are two female college students. During the National Day holiday, they traveled together to watch Gu Zetao's concert.

But when Xiao Lin heard Feng Shiqi singing the song "Virtual", his heart suddenly felt a little moved.

For some reason, she now had the urge to say some things that she had not dared to say before.

Especially when he heard the lyrics "You are the intimacy that I never had and cannot capture", Xiaolin felt even more excited.

At some point, she took a deep breath and patted Xiao Li on the shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Li turned around and asked in confusion.

But there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"that……"

Xiao Lin and Xiao Li looked at each other, then quickly looked away.

Halfway through her words, she suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

As if he noticed her shyness, Xiao Li raised his hand and hooked Xiao Lin's chin, then, under Xiao Lin's surprised gaze, he said:

"You like me, right? Actually, I have liked you for a long time."

The lighting at the scene was dim, but blush appeared on both of their faces.

Wherever they couldn't see, their hands were tightly clasped together.

This situation also happened in other places in the concert, and it was not just Xiaolin and Xiaoli who appeared.

The song "Virtual" ignited the hearts of lesbians.

At the end of the song, Feng Shiqi gradually disappeared on the lift amid the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.

Just a few seconds later, a voice in Italian suddenly rang out.

“Our Father in Heaven”

“The kingdom, the glory, and the power are yours”

"Forever"

"Amen"

Bai Xingjian's pious voice, like a priest's whisper, made every listener involuntarily get goose bumps.

However, shortly after Bai Xingjian's voice fell, a familiar Italian voice sounded again.

At the same time, there is also the soul-stirring string section.

“Is this the melody of In the Name of the Father?!”

"Fuck! Is Bai Xingjian going to sing "In the Name of the Father"?"

"OMG!!!"

Amidst many surprised voices, the shocking and trembling prelude of "In the Name of the Father" quietly sounded.

Devout prayers and terrifying soprano voices began to echo throughout the stadium, and countless audiences felt their scalps tingling and looked at the stage in disbelief.

Under the dim lights, Bai Xingjian raised the microphone and began his second performance of the night.
