Chapter 428: Chapter 406 The Higher You Climb, The Colder It Becomes_1

“Two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two!”

When they perceived that the inscrutable will had descended, netizens instantly launched their most potent onslaught. The comments section on Fei Yang’s page was overrun in a flash, that flood of “Twos” was quite a spectacle.

“I am laughing so hard my stomach hurts!”

“I feel sorry for King Fei, please leave him alone!”

“Even though I am a huge fan of Fei Yang for a decade, I can’t help but laugh. This is classic. What is meant to come will always arrive. Boss, you can’t avoid your fate of always coming second whenever Xian Yu appears.”

“It’s trending at number one already!”

“Fei Yang: My songs may only be second, but my trends will always be first. Fellas, at what level am I on this wave?”

“If it’s two, dive deep into two.”

“Xian Yu: Bro, don’t be so polite, sit wherever you like. In September, someone tried to steal your second place, I didn’t allow that. I secured the second place for you with just one song and two words, and only you can sit at this position.”

“I used to be a skeptic, now I believe that there really is a will of two!”

“This wave of Xian Yu is also favored by the will of two, the two of consecutive championships, and the two of Perennial Runner-up, actually have the same origin!”

“…”

It’s not just the comments section.

A large number of ghostly video edits about Fei Yang have also started to appear on some original video websites, where netizens have rewritten lyrics according to the melody of “Long Life Wishes”.

For example, this one:

“When will there be first, I ask the open sky, who will inherit the will next year, today. I wish to ride the wind and return, but fear losing the hot search, too cold at the height, longing for Chen Zhiyu, second place in the mortal world…”

In the video, Fei Yang’s previous singing clips are edited together, without any sense of discordance.

The joy of the mischief makers on the Internet is always this simple.

This happiness, is all built on Fei Yang’s pain.

At this moment,

Fei Yang is staring at the comments section on his page, with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

The assistant next to him gently coughs and says:

“Look on the bright side, Fei bro, you’ve topped the trending again, everyone is paying a lot of attention to you. Just now, we received a few activity invitations, they said they want to collaborate with you. These activities are sponsored by large brands, initially we couldn’t beat our competitors, but now these brands have unanimously named you as their desired guest!”

Fei Yang is silent.

Ever since he landed second the last time, his career has been smooth sailing, welcomed everywhere he goes. But Fei Yang is fully aware of the reason behind his popularity.

He won in his career, but lost in his life!

Seeing Fei Yang still looking upset, the assistant continued:

“Initially, Chen Zhiyu continuously ranked second three times, and then it was your turn, Fei Bro. Now, you’ve consecutively ranked second three times too, the third generation should take the stage now.”

Fei Yang suddenly glared at the assistant.

The assistant got a scare, that’s when he realized that he was wrong to bring up the subject of the will of two in front of Fei Yang.

He thought Fei Yang was about to thunder, but to his surprise, Fei Yang raised his eyebrows and blurted out, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope:

“Really?”

Assistant: “…”

He was seriously considering whether or not to tell him that some fish product companies contacted him today, wanting to pay a sky-high price to invite King Fei as their spokesperson?

“…”

Of course, not all netizens are playing around this old joke “The will of two”.

Along with the success of “Long Life Wishes”, a lot of in-depth interpretation about this song has appeared on the internet.

Someone said:

“I’m curious as to why Xian Yu didn’t release ‘Song of Water’ during the Mid-Autumn festival, since it’s clearly a Moon-themed song, but instead waited until December?”

“That’s simple.”

Someone immediately answered: “Perhaps Xian Yu wrote this song in September, but didn’t have the music for it yet, so ‘Ten Years’ was released first.”

Another person was puzzled:

“It’s clear that ‘Song of Water’ is expressing the author’s longing for someone, who exactly is Xian Yu thinking about?”

No one could answer this question.

The line that most sparked everyone’s interest was “It’s too cold at the height”.

Some people assumed the literal meaning of this sentence, but more interpreted it as Xian Yu’s self-reflection:

“Think about it, how many times has Xian Yu ranked first since his debut?”

“There is no position higher than first, but because Xian Yu has always been the first, he would feel ‘It’s too cold at the height’, right?”

“If this is true, then Xian Yu is really arrogant.”

“Xian Yu is young, and it’s hard for young people not to be arrogant because of their talent. However, Xian Yu does possess the loud and arrogant capital.”

“I think Xian Yu might be expressing his feeling for his peers. Although he doesn’t hold the highest position in the music industry, he is on top among his peers. Such a person may not have friends because he is too good, so good that others can only look up to him.”

“Xian Yu surely has friends, but probably not many, just look at the number of people he follows on his personal page.”

“That’s true, Xian Yu only follows Chu Kuang and Shadow in his tribe, and these two happen to be very outstanding figures in their respective fields.”

“…”

The interpretation continues to escalate.

Someone even mentioned later, “Hoping longevity lasts and shares the beauty of this graceful moonlight over thousands of miles” is Xian Yu expressing hope for the future merger of Blue Star.

Everyone is separated by thousands of miles, but can still share the same round, bright moon.

“You have to know it’s impossible for everyone to share the bright moon, due to the time difference, when it’s daytime in Qin land, it’s nighttime for Yan People. Xian Yu, being a modern person, couldn’t possibly not understand this. However, he still wrote as such, which shows that he’s expressing a point of view: the geographical distances and cultural differences of each state are not a problem. In the end, we all share Blue Star, so the ‘beauty’ probably not only refers to the moon, but also the entire Blue Star.”

This viewpoint was agreed with by many people.

As the analysis continued, netizens felt that the lyrics of ‘Song of Water’ were more profound than they had imagined, indirectly promoting the song’s further popularity.

Meanwhile, back at Lin Yuan’s home.

Even his elder and younger sisters were staring at Lin Yuan with gossiping faces: “Why did you write ‘Long Life Wishes’? Who are you missing? Do you have a sweetheart?”

Lin Yuan: “…”

Most of the stories in the songs are made up by lyricists and have no specific source.

However, it seems that everyone believes that ‘Song of Water’ was not created out of thin air, but was some sort of self-expression by Lin Yuan, and people loved to analyze it word by word.

Lin Yuan was caught off guard.

All he could do was attempt to answer: “Ziyu?”

“What?”

His sisters’ eyes widened, their faces looked a little odd. Ziyu doesn’t sound like a girl’s name.

“…”

Lin Yuan looked even more helpless: “Su Zhe.”

His sister was surprised: “Two people?”

His younger sister screamed: “Mom, Lin Yuan is a playboy!”
