Chapter 96: Stunning the Audience

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Stunning the Audience"Ye Xuan, why don’t you sing a little later? Don’t listen to them stirring things up. Whether we sing or not has nothing to do with them!"

Lu Miaochan showed her worry and quickly grabbed Ye Xuan, speaking out.

As the saying goes, with a tough act to follow, since Shen Hao sang so well, if Ye Xuan were to sing now, it would clearly be at a disadvantage.

Even Qin Lan signaled with her eyes that he shouldn’t be in a hurry to go up, but Ye Xuan acted as if he hadn’t seen.

"Rest assured, when it comes to singing, he’s nowhere near my level!"

Ye Xuan’s eyes were filled with confidence, and he said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Miaochan was filled with suspicion. Shen Hao had already sung quite well. Could Ye Xuan really surpass him? She found it hard to believe!

"Hmph! Ye Xuan, you really think you can sing better than Shen Hao?"

"Exactly! He’s a singing competition champion. What do you, a frog at the bottom of a well, know?"

"You’re far behind Shen Hao when it comes to singing. You’ll probably just end up embarrassing yourself!"

Lou Yiran and the other girls looked at Ye Xuan with even more contempt and disdain.

In their eyes, not only was Ye Xuan shabby, but he also had the audacity to boast shamelessly that he could sing better than Shen Hao.

"That’s called a song? It’s trash and moreover, it’s horrible! Even the kid next door was scared awake by it!"

Ye Xuan said dismissively. If Shen Hao was trying to show off in front of him, naturally he had to put him in his place.

"Hmph, you’re talking nonsense. ’The Love of My Life’ isn’t nearly as good as ’Heart Too Soft’!"

Listening to Ye Xuan badmouth Shen Hao’s singing, Lou Yiran furrowed her brow and hummed in displeasure.

"Don’t rush, let’s see how he embarrasses himself!"

Li Tingting said coldly.

"Exactly, singing after Shen Hao is just asking for humiliation!" Xu Meng added.

"You think he sings well? That’s because you haven’t heard a real good song! Today, I’ll let everyone witness what a good song is, what is a love classic."

Ye Xuan sneered and, without paying any more attention to Lou Yiran and her group, went straight to grab the microphone.

Shen Hao’s complexion darkened, his gaze fixed on Ye Xuan, annoyed in his heart, "I want to see how well you sing, claiming my singing is trash!"

Ye Xuan stood straight on the stage, microphone in hand, staring calmly ahead.

Unaffected by the various gazes of the audience, Ye Xuan was unfazed.

Because he knew, even though ’Heart Too Soft’ was well sung, this song had been sung to death on the streets, and nearly every pop king had performed it!

The more it was sung, the more a good song became commonplace, losing its value.

While Shen Hao’s singing wasn’t bad, it was just slightly above average compared to ordinary people. In front of Ye Xuan, it was completely insignificant.

When the music accompaniment started, Ye Xuan took a deep breath, his voice deep and powerful, as he began to sing into the microphone:

"Time has passed, the past won’t come again,

Red fallen leaves buried deep in dust.

The beginning and the end never changed,

You drift beyond the clouds at the edge of the sky.

The sea of suffering stirs with love and hate,

In this world, one cannot escape fate..."

Originally, many were waiting to laugh at Ye Xuan’s misfortune.

But the moment his voice rang out, everyone was stunned.

The large private room fell silent as crows!

The melody slowly flowed, only Ye Xuan’s voice echoed in the room:

"Being close seems so out of reach,

Perhaps I should believe in destiny."

’The Love of My Life,’ a song from A Chinese Odyssey that is an unsurpassable classic, with five-hundred years of love and the cycle of bitter seas, it is irreplaceable by any other love song!

And with Ye Xuan’s deep and robust voice, this song reached its peak, simply better than the original.

"Damn it! How can he sing so well?"

Lou Yiran and the girls were shocked, incredulously watching Ye Xuan.

They had been so confident, saying that Ye Xuan’s singing was a public embarrassment. But in the blink of an eye, the situation reversed; it was clear he was smacking their faces in the moment!

"How can this be... How could this guy sing better than me?"

Shen Hao couldn’t believe it, digging in his ears forcefully, suspecting he had misheard.

He had been ready to mock and severely crush Ye Xuan’s spirit.

But now, the expression on his face had completely frozen, looking extremely ridiculous and comical.

Watching Ye Xuan singing passionately on the stage, Lu Miaochan and Qin Lan had stars in their eyes, dazzling brightly.

Because... it was too delightful to listen to!

And so touching!

She hadn’t expected this guy to sing so beautifully, even better than Shen Hao, which was completely surprising!

Singing requires emotional investment; only when it’s sung well can it touch people’s hearts.

After the song ended, everyone was immersed in that poignant love myth, unable to extricate themselves.

Lu Miaochan’s eyes were wet with tears, her beautiful eyes brimming with teardrops, moved by the deep longing love described in the song.

If you truly understand "A Chinese Odyssey," you’d truly understand love, and only by truly listening to "The Love of My Life" would you understand what sorrow and helplessness are.

"The Love of My Life," dedicated to those who love and are loved by me, especially to my girlfriend, Ms. Lu Miaochan!"

After Ye Xuan said this with a smile into the microphone, he stepped off the stage.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses. If Shen Hao was considered a king of song before, then Ye Xuan was now a god of song!

The superiority was clear.

Clap clap clap clap...

The private room filled with enthusiastic applause. Ye Xuan had shown them that songs could have a soul, and only those filled with emotion could truly touch the heart.

This "The Love of My Life" showcased the unforgettable love between a man and a woman so vividly, touching everyone present!

Many of the girls looked at Ye Xuan with excitement and agitation, while Lou Yiran and the other girls had complex expressions on their faces.

Lu Miaochan covered her mouth with her hands, overwhelmed with a sense of happiness when she heard Ye Xuan say the song was for her.

"Ye Xuan, in fact, you are also the love of my life!"

Lu Miaochan murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes unblinkingly fixated on Ye Xuan, her charming face flushing with waves of crimson.

At this moment, she finally recognized her feelings for Ye Xuan in her heart!

Looking at the blissful Lu Miaochan, Qin Lan sighed quietly to herself, wondering why she suddenly felt a pang of jealousy towards Lu Miaochan.

And when she noticed this emotion, she jumped in fright and her face burned with embarrassment.

"Goodness! What am I thinking? Miaochan is my student, how can I, as a teacher, be jealous of my own student?"

Mentally chastising herself, Qin Lan tried to stop her thoughts from wandering and stood up to ask:

"Fellow students, ’The Love of My Life’ is way better than ’Heart too Soft,’ don’t you think?"

Upon hearing Qin Lan’s words, many excitedly responded:

"Teacher Qin is right, Ye Xuan’s ’The Love of My Life’ is more delightful to listen to!"

"Indeed, I think so too, it’s not only beautiful but also touching!"

"’Heart too Soft’ simply can’t compare to ’The Love of My Life,’ it’s too far off!"

"Shen Hao is just not as skilled..."

At this moment, no one was saying that "Heart too Soft" was sung well; everyone was praising Ye Xuan.

Even Lou Yiran and the other girls who disliked Ye Xuan had to nod and admit that Shen Hao didn’t sing as well as Ye Xuan.

Seeing this, Shen Hao’s face darkened. He had intended to embarrass Ye Xuan, but now he found the spotlight stolen by Ye Xuan instead.

Where did this bumpkin come from? How could he sing so well? Shen Hao felt so frustrated he wanted to spit blood!

"It’s just the difference in the songs. If I sang ’The Love of My Life,’ it might not be worse than his performance. It has nothing to do with whether Ye Xuan sang well or not!"

Shen Hao scoffed, unwilling to admit defeat.

"Oh? You know how to sing it too? Then sing it for me to see!"

Seeing him boast again, Ye Xuan’s lips curled with mocking amusement.

"I..."

Shen Hao twitched the corner of his mouth, his expression becoming somewhat unnatural.

Though "The Love of My Life" is a classic song, it is a vernacular song, that is, a Cantonese song! How could he possibly know how to sing it?

He had just been bragging, but if he really had to go up and sing, he would surely give himself away!

Ye Xuan smiled, no longer paying attention to him, but that smile, in Shen Hao’s eyes, felt like naked mockery.

"Hmph, what’s so hard about it? I can sing Cantonese songs too!"

Shen Hao frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

He couldn’t let himself lose face; the act had to go on! After all, he wasn’t actually going to go up and sing. What could they do to him?

But no sooner had these words left his mouth, Lou Yiran, with a look of delight, said:

"Shen Hao, you can sing too? Then sing me ’The Love of My Life’ as well!"

Ye Xuan had sung "The Love of My Life" to Lu Miaochan, dazzling everyone, which made the prideful Lou Yiran quite envious and eager to compete.

The moment she heard her boyfriend could sing too, she immediately asked him to sing it for her.
