When Qingtian stood at the center of the stage, the song's information had already appeared on the screen.
“Blessings at the Corner”
Lyrics, Music, Arrangement: Su Yu
Vocals: Qingtian
Well, the song Su Yu gave Xue Qing last week was still one of Dai Mouni's representative works.
Moreover, Su Yu felt that this song and Bi Huo's “guest” were actually quite well-matched.
Listening to the two songs consecutively, the private sadness of a man and a woman, didn't that bittersweet feeling just come right up?
It's just that the audience and netizens didn't know what style this song was yet; they were still pleasantly surprised in the bullet comments to hear another new song from Su Yu.
The melancholic guitar and string prelude began, and Qingtian's voice, like a story being narrated, drifted over.
“【How many autumns, how many winters,
I'm almost completely healed.
But I still, just because of a recurring topic,
Unintentionally trouble myself.】”
When the lyrics of the first verse came out, some netizens with good memories had already started to let their imaginations run wild.
Because the first line of lyrics at the beginning of “guest” was precisely “The nth winter after breaking up.”
Linkage? Could these two songs actually be linked?
One sings about a man's psychology, and the other is a woman's inner voice? No way?
But thinking about it, both songs came from Su Yu alone, and they debuted on the same day.
This couldn't help but make them imagine more.
“【I once thought, if we really meet,
How should we handle it.
I think I would still, stand at a certain street corner,
Not letting you see me.】”
As the song continued, the story also gained specific imagery.
This was the tangled feeling of a woman after they separated, fearing another meet, yet unable to truly forget the other person.
And Qingtian's singing voice was very soft; even a sudden soaring high note wouldn't give a jarring feeling.
However, many people knew that Su Yu's songs couldn't remain this bland; they were all anticipating the appearance of a turning point in the song's melody, and even its story.
“【Just because I don't want to disturb,
Just because I'm afraid you can't explain.
Just because in your eyes now,
She's more important than me~】”
When the transition between the verse and chorus came out, many emotional girls suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
Because Qingtian's last line, “Just because in your eyes now, she's more important than me,” that lyric's destructive power was really quite significant.
A momentary mistake and a changed heart are completely different things.
The resulting harm is naturally incomparable.
On the contrary, the old brothers who had just been deeply hurt by “guest” felt much better at this moment.
What's this? Just a drizzle.
On stage, Qingtian's singing continued, and the chorus followed.
“【I can only pretend I don't see,
Don't see you and her embracing across the street.
Your happiness, I can feel,
This way of meeting is good for everyone.】”
Qingtian's singing rose a lot, but there wasn't too much anger in the emotion.
It was as if she had already come to terms with this relationship, but more often, it was like a kind of forbearance, suppression.
However, this chorus was truly good to listen to, truly catchy!
Su Yu's songwriting ability was indeed as formidable as ever.
“【I can only pretend I don't hear,
Don't hear others talking about whether she's good or not?
No longer want to ask, nor want to be informed,
Anyway, I can't control your world.】”
The chorus continued, and in Qingtian's beautiful singing, there was now a hint of a choked feeling.
However, this feeling wasn't very deep; she had very good control over her emotions.
It was clear that she had taken Wu Anjun's feedback from the previous round to heart, so Qingtian's performance in this round appeared even more perfect in many people's eyes.
And when the chorus ended, the story depicted by this song was presented to countless netizens.
This was clearly different from the breakup story in “guest,” because Qingtian chose not to meet after the breakup.
Even if they meet, she would stay far away, no longer appearing in the other person's world.
This was completely different from Luren Jia still attending his ex's wedding.
But normal people getting married probably wouldn't invite their exes, right? If invited, would it really not be awkward?
Or like in novels and TV shows, where exes sit at one table?
Happily chatting about the past? Exchanging pleasantries?
However, even so, this song still touched some audience members and netizens.
The interlude ended, and the B section of the song followed.
“【Just because I don't want to disturb,
Just because I'm afraid you can't explain.
Just because in your eyes now,
She's more important than me.】”
The B section didn't repeat the verse; instead, it immediately went into the transitional part.
And from here, Qingtian's singing also increased slightly, and the emotions gradually deepened.
The feeling of listening to it was no longer that indifferent, nonchalant feeling from before.
“【I can only pretend I don't see,
Don't see you and her embracing across the street...】”
This led to the fact that even though the lyrics sang about an “indifferent” mindset of “pretending not to see,” the emotion expressed in the singing clearly still conveyed a sense of having seen, being unable to let go, and being unable to forget.
A feeling of saying one thing but meaning another appeared in the hearts of countless netizens.
They felt that their emotions had been completely manipulated by Su Yu and Qingtian.
They really were being led by the nose by a song all along.
“【I can only pretend I don't hear,
Don't hear others talking about whether she's good or not.
No longer want to ask, nor want to be informed,
Anyway, I can't control your world.】”
Hearing this chorus again, the feeling was actually a bit complex.
You really can't control the other person's world, because there's absolutely no relationship between you anymore!
Many people here didn't hear release at all, but rather the manifestation of unwillingness deep within their hearts.
Until the very end, it was still a case of saying one thing but meaning another, unable to let go.
“【If you don't want to ask, if you don't want to be informed, then leave the blessings at the street corner.】”
And the final concluding lyric also proved this point.
If you really want to forget, then be decisive and just don't meet again.
As Qingtian's singing returned to calm, it also brought tears to many people's eyes.
With songs, the fear is truly getting immersed in them.
This will stir up those memories hidden deep in the heart that one doesn't wish to recall.
When Qingtian finished singing and bowed in thanks, the venue erupted in applause even more enthusiastic than for Luren Jia.
It wasn't that Qingtian's live performance was better, but that she hurt them less!
Ni Hao quickly walked onto the stage and came to Qingtian's side, and after standing steady, his gaze first locked onto Wu Anjun.
“Wu Anjun, what do you think of singer Qingtian's performance this round?”
Ni Hao's question pulled the attention of the audience and netizens back, and they all waited for Wu Anjun's comments.
