You're about to retire from the entertainment industry, yet your concerts are still so popular?

"The bright stars are with me."

"The insects fly."

"The insects fly."

Who are you thinking of?

"....."

A chord with a beautiful melody, but with conflicting emotions.

Accompanied by Ye Chen's clear and gentle voice, it felt as if one's heart was purified.

Ye Chen's singing voice is flawless and pure, as clear and transparent as crystal, which is the essence of this children's song.

When the audience heard this opening, they were immediately drawn in by the unique voice and completely immersed in the world of the children's song.

At the same time, the night sky was dotted with stars on the large screen on the stage.

The rough editing, coupled with the occasional typo in the lyrics, all point to this being a hastily composed ballad.

Duoduo sat next to Ye Chen, leaning against him, her bright eyes fixed on the galaxy of lights from the fans in the audience.

"Wow~ Just a few lines of lyrics, paired with Ye Chen's gentle voice, this song is absolutely healing for kids!" Zhang Yiming's lips began to tremble uncontrollably.

Ye Chen's song is of much higher quality than he had imagined!

The key point is that, as it stands, this is a children's song! It's perfect for kids!

"Is this Ye Chen's true strength? No wonder I've been fighting him for years and still can't beat him..." Zhang Yiming felt frustrated and dejected.

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhang and Li Shuyuan all gave him a pitying look.

Why do you have to compare yourself to Ye Chen for no reason?! Are you just looking for a blow?

……

On stage, Ye Chen also felt Duo Duo's childlike innocence.

He looked into Duoduo's bright, sparkling eyes and wondered if, after hearing this song, she would still think of her loving father.

Gradually, a maternal smile appeared on Ye Chen's lips, and she continued singing with even more emotion in her voice:

"The stars in the sky are weeping."

The roses on the ground withered

"Cold wind blows, cold wind blows."

"As long as you're with me..."

The images on the screen are changing.

Like a summer night, the sounds of cicadas and frogs fill the air, and fireflies dance in the air.

The very simple interlude perfectly embodies the childlike innocence of this song, yet it deeply touches the heart.

Duoduo closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

She had no idea how many people in the audience were crying because of her.

Countless strangers are holding up their phones, creating a galaxy for her.

Little did anyone know that Uncle Ye Chen's eyes were already incredibly red.

She just listened quietly.

Broadcast studio.

Lin Xiaotang's eyes gleamed as she stared intently at Ye Chen, her ears carefully discerning every detail.

"The lyrics are fine so far, but... will the chorus be as catchy as the melody before it starts?"

She looked at the stage, and Ye Chen's singing slowly gave her the answer she wanted:

"Insects fly, flowers sleep."

"A pair is beautiful."

I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm only afraid of a broken heart.

"No matter how tired I am, and no matter which direction I'm facing."

With simple lyrics and the most genuine emotions, Lin Xiaotang felt completely relaxed!

This simple children's song, when listened to by her as an adult, was filled with deep regret, yet also very warm.

……

The residents of the 8D residential complex surrounding the stadium felt a pang of sadness as they peered out of their windows.

Every word and line of Ye Chen's songs resonates with the most tender emotions deep within their hearts.

That feeling of resonance is like being suddenly warmed by a ray of sunshine on a cold winter day.

It feels like taking you back to childhood, kindergarten, summer, youth... back to those carefree and happy times.

But gradually, something went wrong in the neighborhood's WeChat group.

I don't know why, but I just feel like crying. Being an adult isn't fun at all! I want to be the class's counselor! I want to be the class's counselor!!!

[Oh no! Why is this suddenly happening... Grandpa and Grandma, I miss you!]

[My childhood was marked by the first time I was deeply moved by a children's song! Such a simple melody and lyrics, yet they evoked the most sorrowful feelings I'd ever heard.]

Childhood slips away in the blink of an eye; I long to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine, but it will never be like the carefree days of my youth…

Now I finally know how Xiang Yu's army felt when they heard the Chu songs from all sides. My childhood! My youth!

It feels like I died long ago in my childhood memories... It's so heartbreaking to hear that!

The adults in the neighborhood were completely demoralized by Ye Chen's children's song.

……

on the stage.

Ye Chen suddenly turned to the side and gently held the microphone to Duo Duo's lips.

Duoduo seemed to sense Ye Chen's movement and opened her eyes.

She looked at Ye Chen's bloodshot eyes, at the black microphone in front of him, and at the countless flashes of light filling the room.

Then, she spoke.

That clean and clear child's voice gently flowed into everyone's hearts:

"Cold wind blows, cold wind blows."

"As long as you're with me."

Ye Chen's tears finally fell.

He didn't wipe it.

He gently hugged Duoduo and the teddy bear together and finished singing the last line:

"Insects fly, flowers sleep."

"A pair is beautiful."

"Not afraid of the dark..."

"I'm just afraid of heartbreak."

The stage lights dimmed to the point where only sunlight remained.

In the vast venue, two figures, one tall and one short, were bathed in the morning light.

"Whether I'm tired or not."

"Regardless of direction~"

In the last sentence, Ye Chen didn't use any techniques, no vocal transitions, and no breath control.

It was like using a light, warm tone to lull a child to sleep.

……

At this moment, the water vendor who was "wandering" inside the concert hall stood there dumbfounded, holding unsold bottled water.

His eyes were filled with tears, a result of life's hardships, but his heart found solace in that moment.

It was as if Duoduo's innocent childlike voice purified my inner weariness.

"Ye Chen, whom you all follow, is definitely worth it," he said with a smile to the audience around him.

"Even Brother Shui was moved to tears by a children's song? That's rare," a fan responded.

"Want some mineral water from Sanyuan?" Brother Shui immediately switched to sales mode.

"...Give me two bottles, just to show your support."

"Brother Shui, I support you too!"

"Brother Shui! We'd like three bottles!"

……

"So nursery rhymes are also one of Ye Chen's strengths?" Teng Ge'er turned her head and looked at Jin Haiji with a surprised expression.

"Huh? Teacher Ye Chen... I haven't seen him write any children's songs before?" Jin Haiji tried hard to recall several times before confirming.

"A children's song written on the spot in five minutes is this touching?!" Zhang Yiming put his hands in his pockets, his hair almost turned into a bird's nest.

"Ye Chen, what other shining qualities do you possess that we haven't yet discovered?!"

Professor Zhang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at Ye Chen.

On the stage, the music slowly faded away.

Duoduo raised her little face and looked at Ye Chen's face covered in tears. Suddenly, she reached out her little hand and wiped them away for him.

"Uncle, don't cry," she said earnestly. "Dad said boys shouldn't cry easily."
