He was in college, but his songs were at the Grammys.

"?????????"

"Brother Xuan, your account got hacked???"

"I was still arguing with someone about how your song is more artistic, and you show me this???"

"We, your subjects, are willing to fight to the death first, why does Your Majesty surrender first?!"

"No, Brother Xuan, are you serious???"

"I just criticized Chen Ming's fans for not knowing how to appreciate talent, and now you're telling me you think Chen Ming is amazing???"

"Withdraw! It's not too late to withdraw now!!!"

The fans' reactions went from shock to confusion, from confusion to despair, and finally to a state of bewilderment and a mixture of laughter and tears.

They were like a group of soldiers fighting on the front lines, who suddenly received a ceasefire order from their commander at the rear, an order that even carried a hint of approval for the enemy.

How can we fight this war?

The bystanders and netizens who had been watching this "war" were completely dumbfounded at this moment.

"Holy crap??? Qiu Xuan... admitted defeat?"

"It's not admitting defeat, it's acknowledging that the other side is better."

"Isn't that just admitting defeat!"

"For a top-tier creator to publicly call a 19-year-old newcomer 'amazing,' that's even more ruthless than admitting defeat..."

"So just how amazing was Chen Ming's song? That it could convince Qiu Xuan?"

"No way, I have to go listen! I originally thought the 'Battle of the Two Forests' had nothing to do with me, but now I'm dying of curiosity!"

Many netizens who were initially observing the match or simply watching for the spectacle became genuinely curious because of Qiu Xuan's Weibo post.

They opened their music app, searched for "Special Person," and clicked play.

Then, many of them never came out again.

The comments section of "Listen to the Sea" presents a completely different scene at this moment.

Lin Wei's fans call themselves "Wei Cao".

I've experienced a rollercoaster of emotions over the past hour and a half.

They were ecstatic when the song was first released.

The new album's title track, which I had been waiting for for half a year, was far better than expected. The feeling of "finally waiting for it" almost overwhelmed everything.

But as "The One Who Loves You" and "Special Person" were released one after another, they began to feel nervous.

The opponent is too strong.

The combination of Qiu Xuan and Lin Peikun is recognized as a golden duo in the Chinese music scene.

Although Chen Ming is a newcomer, his song "Big City, Small Love" at the beginning of the month has already proven his talent, and now his song "Special Person" is even more impressive.

Although most people on the internet are pessimistic about Chen Ming.

But TinyHer thinks Chen Ming is definitely not simple!

After all, her idol Lin Wei chose his song, so she must have her reasons.

After listening to all three songs, many of Wei's fans privately worried: Could Wei really win with this song?

Until Qiu Xuan's Weibo post appeared.

"Sisters!!! Quick, check Qiu Xuan's Weibo!!!"

"He admitted that Chen Ming is amazing!!!"

"So, Wei-jie's song 'Listen to the Sea' was written by Chen Ming, right?!"

"By rounding up, isn't Qiu Xuan indirectly acknowledging the brilliance of 'Listen to the Sea'?!"

"Ahhhh, I suddenly have confidence!!!"

The comment section was quickly filled with similar excited comments.

Some more observant fans began to analyze the situation more carefully:

"Honestly, the song 'Listen to the Sea' perfectly brings out the husky yet gentle qualities of Sister Wei's voice. Just listen to the breathy vocals in the verses and the explosive 'sound of the sea crying' in the chorus. If someone else sang it, it definitely wouldn't have the same feel."

"Chen Ming really understands Sister Wei so well! This song is practically tailor-made for her!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen Ming, for writing such a wonderful song! It was totally worth waiting for your album, Sister Wei!"

"Of the three songs right now, 'Listen to the Sea' has the best reputation, right? The data isn't bad either! Can we really win?!"

This shift from worry to hope filled the comment section of "Listen to the Sea" with a warm and exciting atmosphere.

At this moment, the comment section of "Special People" has become a massive "it's actually pretty good" scene.

Those casual netizens who clicked in with a "let's see how good it is" attitude have found their fingers typing comments uncontrollably after listening to the song:

"I'm sorry, I apologize for my previous comments that Chen Ming was getting arrogant."

"Is this really a song a nineteen-year-old could write??? Is this really the level of singing a newcomer???"

"After listening to 'Listen to the Sea,' I thought Chen Ming was a genius songwriter; after listening to this song, I think he's a genius singer. So what kind of monster is he exactly?"

"R&B lovers rejoice! The rhythm! The vocal runs! The breathiness of the arrangement! I've already listened to it on repeat for the fifth time!"

"As a vocal music major, I can say that Chen Ming's singing technique is absolutely top-notch, or even higher. His breath control and dynamic range are something that cannot be achieved without more than ten years of training, yet he is only nineteen years old! This doesn't make sense!"

"Am I the only one who noticed the lyrics? 'To love someone, perhaps one must be generous,' 'You only understand love after experiencing an accident,' is this how a nineteen-year-old understands love? I'm twenty-nine and I still can't write lyrics like this!"

"From the refreshing sweetness of 'Big City, Small Love' to the heart-wrenching pain of 'Listen to the Sea', and then to the mature warmth of this song 'Special Person,' Chen Ming's musical personality is so complete and multifaceted! Is he really just a newcomer?"

"At his age, does he have that many romantic relationships?"

Amidst gasps of amazement, Lin Wei's fans quietly "infiltrated" the comments section.

They originally just wanted to see how "Teacher Chen Ming," who wrote the hit song for Sister Wei, fareed his own songs.

Then, they were stunned.

The data growth curve of "Special People" can no longer be described as "good"; it's an almost terrifying surge.

The number of views, favorites, and comments are all being updated at a visible speed.

What's even more frightening is the reputation.

Looking around, almost all the reviews are positive.

Occasionally, a few comments like "It's just okay" or "It's not that amazing" will be quickly drowned out by more heartfelt praise.

One of the fans couldn't help but post a message in the fan group:

"Ladies, were we worrying about the wrong things before?"

The group chat was silent for a few seconds.

Then someone replied:

"You mean...?"

"We were worried that Sister Wei wouldn't be able to beat Qiu Xuan and Lin Peikun."

"But now it seems..."

"It seems like Sister Wei doesn't even need to lift a finger?"

"Did Teacher Chen Ming just crush the other side himself?"

Another silence followed.

Subsequently, the group chat erupted with various emojis and exclamation marks.

"So, Wei-jie's song 'Listen to the Sea'..."

"It's a guaranteed win!!!"

"Not just guaranteed wins! It's an easy win!!!"

"Professor Chen Ming is awesome!!!"

This almost instantaneous shift in understanding left the Vitex plants both excited and somewhat dazed.

They originally thought it would be a showdown between two top singers, Lin Wei and Lin Peikun, and a contest between two songwriters, Qiu Xuan and Chen Ming.

But now it seems...

This seems to be a stage for Chen Ming all by himself.

And their sister Wei, because she chose Chen Ming's song, unexpectedly stood in the safest and most dazzling position on this stage.
