Chapter 256 Ye Xian's Beloved

The "Sound Five Girls" officially debuted, drawing gasps of amazement from the live stream audience.

The "First Annual Late Night Singing Contest" immediately became a hot topic for late-night snacks.

Many casual fans were attracted to come over.

This competition isn't one of those music variety shows with behind-the-scenes manipulation; it's a genuine contest between ordinary people!

Ye Xian pointed to the registration entrance above the live stream and said with a smile, "If you want to participate, you can click 'I want to participate' in the upper right corner and then you can register successfully. However, since there may be a lot of people participating, I have communicated with the Kuaiyin official here."

Anyone who registers for the competition can choose any one of my songs to sing. No copyright fees are required. Send a short video to your Kuaishou account, tag @宵夜歌友会 (@MidnightSongGentleClub), and use the hashtag #第一届宵夜歌友会比赛 (#FirstMidnightSongGentleClubCompetition). Only those videos that receive over 1 likes within one week will advance to the second round of preliminary competition.

Short videos submitted for the competition are strictly prohibited from being streamed. Any instances of data manipulation will result in disqualification, expulsion from the late-night food group and karaoke club, and permanent blacklisting.

After Ye Xian explained the competition rules, hundreds of thousands of fans in the live stream immediately clicked "I want to participate".

[Graduate student who loves barbecue: First! I was the first to sign up! Hahaha!]

[I'm Xiao Heizi: What's the point of registering early? See you in the finals!]

[Artificial Idiot: No matter what place I get in the end, this competition alone will give me a lot of followers! I'm not saying anything more, even if I'm tone-deaf, I'm still signing up!]

[82-year-old Fat Otaku's Happy Water: Only a fool wouldn't sign up! This competition is definitely supported by the official Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform), hurry up and call in people, I want to be the first to reach 1000 likes.]

……

Seeing the high level of enthusiasm among the fans in the live stream, Ye Xian chuckled and said, "Next, please welcome Li Xin and Duan Fei to the stage."

As Ye Xian's top lieutenants, Li Xin and Duan Fei have always played the role of warm-up guests. Now that the number of online viewers in Ye Xian's live broadcast room is about to reach ten million, Ye Xian will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

The two of them started laughing and joking as soon as they came on stage: "Hey, the company's getting bigger and bigger, and there are so many more pretty girls. We used to be the two of us doing the opening dance, but now we're relegated to sixth place. Brother Xian's changed his mind!"

Duan Fei slapped Li Xin: "Be content, at least we can still perform. It's better than that guy still being abroad, isn't it?"

[Lacking meat in the Five Elements: 23333, this is definitely a veiled criticism of Qiu Qing!]

[Living by the sea and always wanting to have fun: Qiu Qing is probably crying her eyes out in the bathroom. There are so many more young ladies around Xian Ge! He's been robbed of everything, leaving not even a trace of his bones.]

[Blood in the chrysanthemum area: Sigh, Xin-ge and Fei-ge, it's not that we don't like you anymore, it's just that Xian-ge's new recruit is too good at fighting! So, hurry up and finish your song and get off the stage, let my Lily-chan come up again.]

[Breasts Extended: Exactly! You guys only ever sing those two songs over and over again. Men are all fickle and forgetful. Get off here! I want Hasina!]

……

Longtime fans are very familiar with Li Xin and Duan Fei, so they joked around without any reservations. Li Xin and Duan Fei didn't mind either. After the joking opening, they honestly sang their signature songs, "Hello Tomorrow" and "Singing in the Tree."

After performing two songs as usual, the number of their fans surged to 700 million.

Just when everyone thought they were about to leave the stage, Li Xin gave a playful smile to the live stream viewers: "You guys don't think that Brother Xian has forgotten about the old ones just because he has new ones, do you?"

[A three-year-old already knows how to flirt: What does that mean? Do you guys have a new song?]

[Stir-fried noodles without MSG: Holy crap, is it this exciting tonight? There have already been so many new songs, is Brother Xian going to release another crazy number of new songs? I remember the last time was just before that!]

[The female benefactor was astonished: Isn't that amazing? Brother Xian is really working hard to reach 3000 million followers! I'm really looking forward to seeing how many new songs he'll release when he reaches 4000 million followers!]

[Martial Arts Master: Awesome! Awesome! There's a new song to listen to! Enough said, let's go to the carnival!]

……

The Sixth Princess glanced at the two women in the live stream and couldn't help but scoff, "Ye Xian is being way too nice to these two women, isn't he?"

However, the Sixth Princess knew Ye Xian's background very well. It was these two women who visited Haizhou when Ye Xian was at his weakest, which marked the beginning of Ye Xian's first rise to prominence.

If we were to say who Ye Xian's friendships are the deepest, it would undoubtedly be with Li Xin and Duan Fei.

In fact, even Qiu's mother, though she verbally complained about the two of them, secretly loved them.

Every night she would call the two women who were traveling, reminding them to be careful of the unscrupulous merchants' retaliation. She was even more caring than their own mother.

"Hehe, we're the ones Brother Xian cherishes the most!"

Li Xin looked at the live stream camera with a cheeky grin, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Standing to the side, Qiu's mother was both annoyed and amused. This Li Xin was such a character.

"Heart Wall, a new song for everyone."

The two composed themselves, signaled Qian Duoduo to play the accompaniment, and Ye Xian picked up the guitar to accompany them.

A person gazes at the blue sea and blue sky.

The gloom in my heart faded a little.

Dolphins flew past in front of me

I saw the most radiant smile.

Good times should be cherished because they are limited.

... "

Li Xin's clear voice entered the live stream, and everyone immediately quieted down from their joy, with comments and donations slowing down.

Unlike the cool beauty and strong atmosphere of the previous song by Yinwu Girls, this song has a quiet power that makes everyone unconsciously start to listen to the song seriously.

[Silly Fairy: Is this a love song? Has Brother Xian, this single dog, written another love song?]

[Kindergarten Queen: By the way, why are all of Xian Ge's love songs being sung by Xin Ge and Fei Ge? Is there something fishy going on here?]

[Old Phlegm Pickled Cabbage Noodles: What could be fishy? Brother Xian would never admit this is a love song, because he knows his love songs are all terrible.]

[Cute Machine: The lyrics to this song are really interesting! I feel like this is another inspirational love song?]

……

The people who were having late-night snacks didn't believe that Ye Xian could write good love songs. Even though Ye Xian had already written several love songs, with inspirational songs like "Invisible Wings" preceding him, everyone still believed from the bottom of their hearts that Ye Xian's forte was inspirational songs.

The same goes for "Heart Wall". Even though it is clearly a love song, people will label it as an "inspirational love song", just like "Singing on the Tree".

Ye Xian played his guitar, glancing at the big screen every now and then, and was amused by everyone's comments.

Say whatever you want, the celebration tonight has only just begun, you'll have your fun later.

There is a wall in your heart

But I found a window

Occasionally, a warm sliver of light shines through.

……

Even if you have a wall

My love will climb onto the windowsill and bloom.

Open the window and you will see sadness melt away.

... "

As the chorus approached, Li Xin and Duan Fei were completely immersed in the song, and Ye Xian also sang along softly to support them.

One hour after the broadcast started, Ye Xian's live stream had 7 million concurrent viewers.

Ye Xian's total number of fans: 2980 million.
