The “Sing!” program team had gone all out, constructing a dreamy stage set within the forest park.
[Say what you will, but this stage alone is worth a million likes!]
…
[True, I took a screenshot.
When I get married, I want a scene just as dreamy as this.]
Di Youyou sat not far from the stage, watching Li Jingmo waiting for the intro on stage. She felt she could definitely use this natural oxygen bar to stir up some excitement.
[Got it!]
Di Youyou’s eyes lit up. Her little hands silently formed a sigil, completely unnoticed by anyone around her.
[Butterfly Sisters living nearby, Youyou needs you to come out and help with a little favor!
Especially butterflies with beautiful wings, please come to the direction I’m guiding, the more the better!]
Di Youyou wasn’t entirely confident in her heart; she really hoped those big, clumsy moths wouldn’t come and ruin the scenery.
As a result, when Li Jingmo sang the first line, there was still no movement in the sky.
Di Youyou frowned with her little brow. This shouldn’t be happening!
The millions of viewers waiting in the livestream, seeing this scene where for once no one was disturbing and only Li Jingmo was left singing alone on stage, suddenly felt a sense of peaceful tranquility.
Moreover, Li Jingmo’s new song had a kind of magic; it could stir up their deepest longing for someone in their hearts.
It was just eight lines of lyrics, yet people outside the screen were already shedding tears.
Even before the climax, it was giving people goosebumps!
But the most magical scene was just beginning.
On the phone screen, Li Jingmo, with intense focus in his eyes, stared at a certain spot as he sang with deep emotion. At first, one, then two butterflies slowly fluttered around, as if drawn by the purity of Li Jingmo’s voice.
Then it became unstoppable.
Tens of thousands of butterflies gracefully descended from the sky, dancing around Li Jingmo amidst the forest.
It wasn’t just empty flattery, but damn, these butterflies were truly otherworldly.
[Don’t you guys think these butterflies are flying in a very orderly pattern, like they’re actively dancing as backup for that has-been Li…]
[The person above, are you crazy?]
[+1, I have the same feeling. This scene is simply too miraculous.]
It has to be said, this has-been Li Jingmo seemed to have suddenly gotten lucky. Every time he appeared at the “Who is the Song King” competition, he always left a deep impression.
Especially during the climax part, as Li Jingmo sang in a low hum, those butterflies seemed to resonate with him, gathering together towards the sky before rapidly dispersing like popcorn popping.
Of course, all these movements were designed by Di Youyou.
The little one was busy working up a sweat.
[Hey hey hey, that Tiger Bee over there, fly lower, you’re in the shot. It won’t look good if you’re filmed as a dark blob later, come down quickly.]
[The Green Robed Long-tailed Butterfly in front, yes, you guys.
Please fly a bit faster, circle around my Guoguo’s hand a couple of times.]
[Butterfly Sisters on the outside, please stop those Fly Midges running amok everywhere. Just two more minutes, it’ll be over soon!
If there are any troublemakers, kick them out directly!]
It seemed as if even heaven favored Li Jingmo this time. At the ending, the sunlight suddenly intensified. When the light hit the artificial water feature behind the stage, it refracted into a dazzling rainbow of seven colors.
As the music faded, the butterflies slowly disappeared into the forest, passing through the rainbow.
Everyone was a bit dazed, almost thinking everything they had seen earlier was an illusion.
Not to mention the audience in front of their screens, even Li Jingmo was nearly startled into a voice crack by those butterflies.
If it weren’t for wanting to sing Di Youyou’s song, written for the most beloved person, well, Li Jingmo would have long since wanted to jump off the stage.
Di Youyou had summoned the butterflies to warm up the stage for Li Jingmo, but she hadn’t informed the person in question beforehand, nearly causing a disaster.
On stage, the host came up to conclude, also praising Li Jingmo in an extremely exaggerated tone.
Saying his voice was so ethereal that even the Spirit Friends of nature had come out to enthusiastically cheer him on.
Li Jingmo stood on stage, his toes curling in embarrassment enough to dig out a three-bedroom apartment.
He just hoped people online wouldn’t criticize him too harshly.
“Of course, this is also the first time Jingmo has brought this song before everyone. Overall, it’s a gentle yet very powerful song. May I ask, what is the core of this song?”
Li Jingmo remembered what Di Youyou had told him before practicing the song.
“Where there is a home, there is a support system!”
So, Li Jingmo raised the microphone.
“Nothing particularly special. I just wanted to tell everyone, where there is a home, there is a support system!”
It was time for the voting segment again. The host urged everyone to click on Li Jingmo’s profile picture and vote enthusiastically.
The top trending search outside was Li Jingmo’s song “Support System.” It had only been released across all platforms for half an hour but had already reached an astonishing thirty million subscriptions.
Li Jingmo still didn’t know the voting situation. This time, only twelve people would advance to the finals.
To be honest, Li Jingmo had zero confidence in himself.
But thanks to the miraculous Dance Troupe Di Youyou had found for him, Li Jingmo once again received votes efficiently this round.
Because they had to wait for the live broadcast to end and return to the stage for the results, Li Jingmo took Di Youyou back to the hotel he had booked to rest for a while.
Although Wang Minxia didn’t manage things, Li Jingmo’s assistant was quite dutiful and reliable. That young man was Li Jingmo’s junior from university, from an average family background. Finding the entertainment industry tough, he simply switched careers to become Li Jingmo’s assistant.
He just wanted to make something of himself in the capital city, but who could have imagined that his senior Li Jingmo had also been achieving nothing before.
With not much work, Qi Zuo had asked Li Jingmo for leave to return to his hometown and had just come back two days ago.
Now, leaving Qi Zuo at the venue to keep an eye on things was enough.
With these two stolen hours of free time, Li Jingmo could also properly spend time with Di Youyou.
As long as it wasn’t past the late-night snack cutoff, arriving at the hotel restaurant allowed one to enjoy the all-day buffet dining hours.
There were simply too many delicious things; Di Youyou was dazzled by the choices.
But Li Jingmo only took some low-fat mini cakes and freshly squeezed juice for Di Youyou.
“Just have a little something to tide you over. After this is over, Guoguo has ordered even better, more substantial dishes waiting!”
Di Youyou, of course, understood what Li Jingmo meant—he was afraid she’d fill up on these pastries now.
Di Youyou directly rolled her eyes at Li Jingmo. “Guoguo, you’re so noisy!”
But that glance revealed something alarming.
How strange. He was fine just a moment ago. How did his forehead, specifically the glabella area, turn ominously dark in the short time it took to get a plate of pastries?
Li Jingmo was still there earnestly lecturing the little kid.
He didn’t expect Di Youyou to say: “Guoguo, you’re about to have bad luck. I advise you to worry about yourself first!”
Li Jingmo didn’t take it seriously, purely thinking Di Youyou was deliberately trying to scare him.
“Don’t talk nonsense, you little girl.
Finish eating early and go back early!”
‘Alas!’
Another one who doesn’t believe in fate. Di Youyou shook her head.
Qi Zuo indeed sent a message right on time.
[Brother Mo, it’s about time to come back!
There’s only the last song left.]
