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

Ye Chen clasped his hands together in the middle, his voice even louder: "Middle! Everyone, come together!"

The entire audience joined in the singing, the sound deafening:

"Time slowly fades away all the gloom!"

"May I spend the rest of my life with you, year after year..."

Wang Xinlin stared wide-eyed at Ye Chen, then turned to look at the audience!

Those audience members who usually wave glow sticks quietly are now all belting out a song, even the ladylike fans in the front row are standing up!!!

"??!" Wang Xinlin was completely dumbfounded!

This song can be sung in a big chorus with parts breaking up and reuniting?! Are there really such ways to sing sweet little songs?!

Her eyes were filled with disbelief; she was utterly shocked!

"No... wait a minute... is this my concert?" Wang Xinlin raised the microphone, her voice trembling!

Ye Chen lowered his hand from giving instructions.

Turning to look at her, he said innocently, "Yes, at your concert. I really only sang one line."

Wang Xinlin pointed to the audience below the stage, then to herself, stammering, "When I... when I asked them to sing along, they ignored me!"

"Maybe the shill you hired today is more professional," Ye Chen shrugged.

"Ye Chen!!!" Wang Xinlin stomped her foot in anger.

The audience burst into laughter.

After laughing, they shouted in unison, "One more song! One more song!"

Wang Xinlin took a deep breath, turned her head and glared at Ye Chen helplessly.

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily: "You just wait. Next time you have a concert, I'll be in charge of directing your fans."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "I'll soon be out of concerts. It's time to retire from the entertainment industry."

His nonchalant attitude left Wang Xinlin powerless!

Her eyes suddenly lit up: "Then I'll put on a show for you right now—I'll start with 'Ruthless Love,' and you sing the chorus!"

"Stop messing around..." Ye Chen wanted to refuse.

But the audience below the stage screamed in unison: "Agreed! Do it!! Do it now!!!"

on the stage.

Wang Xinlin ran towards the audience with the microphone in hand, then turned back and shouted to Ye Chen, "Did you hear that? The voice of the people!"

Ye Chen stood there, shaking his head helplessly, but couldn't hide the smile on his face: "Is this concert yours or mine?"

Wang Xinlin cleverly hid the microphone behind her back, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with a smile: "Now... it's yours!"

"I invited you to be my guest singer! And you're only going to sing one line?!"

"Who told you to treat my fans and viewers so carelessly!"

She spoke with a rather smug tone.

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "That works too. But I have one small request."

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became a sensation, with countless spectators displaying extraordinary excitement:

"Holy crap! Two queens of sweet songs are singing together?! If I remember correctly, the last time Ye Chen collaborated with the cult leader was three years ago! This is going to be on the headlines again tomorrow!"

"The Sweetheart Queen and Morning Sugar have teamed up! This is going to be so sweet it'll kill us!"

"Ye Chen! Chen Tang, I want to sing for you!"

"Hey?! You lady in front, don't stand up! You're blocking our way!!!"

"This is bad! Are they going to start a fight?! Even our sweetheart queen rarely sings 'Ruthless Love' anymore, and Ye Chen's male voice is even harder to sing!"

"..."

"What do you want? As long as you can finish singing 'Ruthless Love,' I'll agree to any reasonable request on the spot," Wang Xinlin said with a slight smugness.

"Ruthless Love" is a song she collaborated on with Ye Chen before.

Back then, she was young and impetuous, and she wrote songs without thinking, which is why she rarely dares to sing this song now.

The main problem is that she sings high notes all the time, which really hurts her voice.

She is still young, and her future career depends on her voice, so her songs now follow the simple and sweet style of Ye Chen.

Male singers are inherently less adept at hitting high notes than female singers. Even if this song were lowered by 4-5 points to a male key, it would still be incredibly difficult.

Ye Chen looked at her, secretly plotting something wicked.

They work for the same company. He knew all along that the other party had reported "Ruthless Love." So that's what he was waiting for.

"Then I'll continue singing, and you have to sing one of my songs, okay?" Ye Chen smiled faintly.

Similarly, he had already decided to write a song on the spot for Wang Xinlin to sing.

A classic song that perfectly suits Wang Xinlin's sweet temperament: "Love You"!

This way, we can also test whether the newly acquired "Imperial Sword" is useful.

"Okay!" Wang Xinlin waved her hand, her makeup sparkling under the lights. "Accompaniment teacher, start playing!"

As that unfamiliar yet familiar accompaniment began, the audience was stunned!

"Huh? Xinlin, are you serious? The standards for being a guest performer are this high now?!"

"They've really started fighting! That Sweetheart Queen is so cunning! Does she want Ye Chen to sing, or does she want him dead?"

"She herself dared to sing this song once, in the original key, still the studio version, and then have a male singer sing the high notes of the chorus—it was a complete train wreck! Torture!"

"Won't she ruin Ye Chen's performance like this? Never mind! Let's film it first! We'll make memes from when Ye Chen hits those high notes!"

"Pah! Pah! Pah! Don't let the concert go wrong! Don't let Ye Chen cancel his last four concerts of his career! I still want to keep singing for him!"

It was as if I could hear this scene.

Ye Chen became even more determined! For the next concert, she absolutely had to sing a challenging song!

Then.

Amidst the mesmerizing music, Wang Xinlin softly began to sing the opening.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Xinlin raised her hand.

She made a very elegant gesture of invitation to Ye Chen.

Ye Chenzhen held the microphone close, her voice gentle and magnetic, and naturally took over the song.

Then, amidst everyone's anticipation (waiting to see him make a fool of himself), Ye Chen directly sang, mixing his true and falsetto voices!

Her ethereal voice carries the broken quality of the original singer's vocal style!

This singing style, state of mind, and high notes left Wang Xinlin completely stunned and rooted to the spot!

no?!

You can sing about a broken state so realistically?!

Did you eat my CD player with that voice?!

The thing is, you're a male singer, how come you sing soprano so effortlessly?!

The audience was stunned and completely bewildered!

Ye Chen's singing style is almost exactly the same as the original singer's!

A moment later, some audience members realized what was happening and their expressions were quite strange:

"Ye Chen's version is outrageous?! How can it be exactly the same as the original CD?!"

"This singing is absolutely amazing! It completely makes up for my disappointment that Xinlin no longer sings 'Hard Love'!"

"Wait, what?! The Morning Rice fans are eating this well?! I absolutely have to switch allegiance to Morning Rice fans and become a Morning Rice sugar fan!"

"What happened to the claim that male singers can't hit high notes? Who the hell stepped forward! Open your ears wide and listen carefully!"

"Singing so easily? I'm speechless!! Is this some kind of scripted performance?"

"Script my foot! Who would sabotage their own concert like this?!"

Even Wang Xinlin's live photographer was stunned by this scene!

He didn't even notice when the camera panned to the audience's faces!

As the last note faded, the song came to an end.

Wang Xinlin stared at Ye Chen in disbelief, completely lost in thought.

Ye Chen turned his head to look at her, a faint, devilish smile playing on his lips: "Now that you've finished singing this song, it's my turn to write a song on the spot, and you can sing it."
