My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1566 "Five Hundred Miles" 2
now.

Even Sachiel, who was chatting with someone, held her breath. Now, only one voice echoed in her mind: "Oh my god! Oh my god!", followed by another voice.

"Katie, you will pay the price for your arrogance."

The gentle singing continued.

The sound seemed to be carried by fragments of time from a distant hometown to the stage, resounding all around. During Zhang You's performance, some audience members seemed to be stirred by certain memories, their expressions filled with longing.

This is why "500 Miles" has become so enduring.

It has the power to draw people of different countries and skin colors into the emotion of longing for their hometown. Perhaps their hometown is not beautiful, but when the sound of the song comes, even an unpleasant hometown becomes touching.

A country lane.

The eaves of houses clustered among the mountains.

And the sound of train whistles coming from afar—things that were taken for granted back then—are now surfacing in the minds of many.

After Zhang You finished singing, the audience remained silent. Even the host, Derek Yee, did not go on stage immediately. After a moment of silence, starting from the first row, a foreign audience member stood up from his chair, followed by the second person.

In an instant.

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

"open"

"open"

then.

Someone called his name, one call after another. Recognizing what was happening, the host, Ned Depp, appeared on stage, wiping away tears as he took the microphone and began, "Zhang... I can hardly express how I feel right now. Really, you remind me of my hometown, of the railway tracks not far from our house. I hated those tracks back then because trains often passed through at night, keeping my family awake. I thought I would definitely move away from that damn place, but now... Zhang, I miss those tracks a little. Zhang, I love your song '500 Miles,' it's the best country folk song I've ever heard."

"I feel the pressure."

Mars said to Adam.

"Me too"

Adam nodded.

Taylor treats CB's "Voices from Abroad" like a vacation, and so do they—they get good appearance fees and boost their popularity, so why not!

Aside from Binbu from Ilseong, Lee Jung from Hanseong, and "Zhang" from the East, who seem to take this job very seriously, the other foreign singers don't seem to care much.

But now... starting with Zhang's performance of "500 Miles", they know they should cheer up. Just as rumored, this "Zhang" from the East is very powerful, and his title of "musical magician" is not undeserved.

The TV started displaying scores.

When they heard "500 Miles", they had a feeling that Zhang would get a very high score. Sure enough, after the music judges in the audience tallied the scores, Zhang got an extremely high score of 91.

John, I somewhat regret letting "Zhang" go first.

Chris, the director of "Voices Abroad," said to John, a senior executive standing to the side.

"Starting from the next episode, you'll need to arrange Zhang's appearance positions."

John said earnestly.

John hadn't expected Zhang You to be so capable. Then, John remembered the contract Zhang had signed with CB Television. When he brought it back, several high-ranking executives at CB Television privately mocked Zhang for being too confident.

Even John himself was no exception.

But after Zhang You finished singing the song, his thoughts completely changed. It was a timeless folk song, and John had a feeling that Zhang might really become the first singer in their country to become a world superstar, because his creativity was so strong that it was indescribable.

Now we'll see how Zhang performs next.

As Zhang You walked from the stage to the dressing room, he smiled and nodded to the two staff members who greeted him. Upon seeing Zhang You, Taylor smiled and said, "Zhang, you've ignited my fighting spirit." "Then let's go!"

Zhang You replied directly.

Katie opened her mouth, wanting to say a few words to "Zhang". If she had been somewhat dismissive of him not long ago, now... she needed to take this "Zhang" seriously.

As a near-top-tier female singer, Katie naturally recognized from the quality of this song that it would be one that wouldn't fade with time.

But now, Katie is finding it difficult to show goodwill to this "Zhang".

She hoped that this "Zhang" would be sensible enough to take the initiative to talk to her, and then she would be more enthusiastic. But to her surprise, Zhang simply sat back down on the sofa and didn't even glance at her.

Katie was a little angry.

"Zhang, was this song really written according to a given theme?!"

Mars took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Zhang You.

"kindness"

Zhang You nodded.

"I somewhat regret coming to participate in 'Voices from Abroad'."

Mars rubbed his forehead, looking regretful. Zhang You smiled and didn't say anything more. The change in others' attitudes all stemmed from one's own strength. If one's strength is insufficient, others will not take one seriously, so there's no need to feel unbalanced, because this is the essence of this society.

Even a fart from a rich person can have a reason.

No matter how reasonable a poor person's words are, others will not take them seriously.

As for Zhang You's mindset, he remained relatively calm. Since Katie was cold to him, he simply didn't approach her. Li Zhen was also particularly indifferent to him because he refused to help her rearrange a song, so Zhang You reciprocated by being indifferent to her as well. To put it bluntly, they only met on the show "Voices from Abroad" on CB TV and needed to spend some time together. Once the show ended, they would never meet again in their lifetime.

At most, whoever dies first, the survivors can post a comment to mourn.

......

In the assigned song segment.

Li Zhen's performance was still not very good, and she only scored fifty-three points.

Hamabu scored about the same, since the topic of country folk is indeed quite difficult. She got 60 points, while Mars and Adam got the same score, both getting 70 points.

KD is seventy-three.

Taylor Swift, who was originally famous for singing country songs, scored 85 points in the country folk category, which is a relatively high score, but it still can't compare to Zhang You.

The main reason is that "500 Miles" is of such high quality.

Zhang You used a timeless country folk song here, and unless there was some shady dealing involved, it would be impossible for him to get a low score. And this time, Zhang You once again drew a song by Taylor Swift called "Walk".

Zhang drew his song again.

Taylor's reaction was quite amusing. The internationally renowned top female singer must have been tickled by something funny, because she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She then immediately put the back of her hand holding the microphone to her lips before looking at Zhang Youdao and saying, "Zhang, aren't we just too destined for each other?! Or is it that my song is like a corpse that deeply attracts the forensic doctor?"

"..."

Zhang You was taken aback.

Is this a joke?!

Why does it feel so creepy?
