Li Nianwei had a maximum Charisma of 125 points. She emitted a natural purity from her body. She looked like an otherworldly celestial. Right now, she was a goddess.

As she stood on the stage, countless gazes filled with surprise, jealousy, longing, and desire fell on her.

The entire audience instantly perked up.

“Such a pretty girl, she’s perfect! Can she really do it, though? Singing just by herself? Without a single dancer?”

“That’s right, she looks so beautiful, but how can she be so underprepared? She will be at a severe disadvantage!”

“All the other contestants came in groups, but she is by herself. Is she admitting defeat? What a shame, such a beautiful girl...”

In the audience, Li Yang, Ling Xiaoyi, and the rest cheered. “Go Sister Nianwei! You are the best!”

One million people, there were one whole million people in the crowd.

Li Nianwei had no idea where Li Yang and the rest were. However, she was certain that Li Yang, Ling Xiaoyi and the rest were cheering her on.

“Press on, Li Nianwei, you are the best!” Li Nianwei closed her eyes and whispered to herself, “For the Young Master, you must become the best!”

“She is really beautiful.” One of the four judges, Franklin, frowned and said, “However, she is here by herself. That will be a severe disadvantage.”

“Yes.” Brianna shook her head. “Nevermind, let’s see how well she sings. The voice is what matters most.”

“Is that the Moonlight Sonata? I’ve never heard of this song before. I wonder if it will sound good.” Composer Lake had high expectations.

Kristel slouched on his chair and murmured, “Luckily, this is coming to an end. I wonder if this Li Nianwei will be any good. Hopefully, she’s not just a pretty face. After all, this is music. Looks alone will never be enough.”

Li Nianwei lightly exhaled and lifted her head. Standing on the stage was something that always captivated her. She could never get sick or tired of the feeling.

She was no longer the hopeless unknown C-List singer. Ever since she met the Young Master, she had to become the brightest star in the sky. The brightest one!

“You must succeed!” Li Yang clenched his fists as he looked at Li Nianwei preparing on stage.

“Sister Nianwei.” Ling Xiaoyi cheered silently for Li Nianwei. “You are the best!”

The prelude for this song was not long. If it was anyone else, it would be difficult for them to fully focus and enter the right state of mind.

However, Li Nianwei was different.

She seemed to be born for the stage. As long as she stood on the stage, she would be the brightest star. She would be the one to dominate the stage. She was a goddess. Goddess!

Li Nianwei felt no pressure as she looked at the huge crowd in the stands. The scene did look even grander than the ones she faced on Earth. However, she had already widened her view of the world after she spent so much time together with the Young Master. She had even seen six billion Zergs with her own eyes. This crowd of merely a million people did nothing to intimidate her.

“So, this song...” Li Nianwei slowly said, “is a gift to someone in my heart. My favorite... him.”

BOOM!

The whole crowd erupted into chaos as she finished her sentence.

Countless men held their chests, heartbroken. As for the women, their jaws dropped to the floor in shock.

This extremely beautiful woman, even before her debut, had announced that she liked someone the most?! She was blocking her own road to stardom!

After all, the golden period for all artists was the time that they remained single!

Countless artists feared all things related to love and dating. Even the most tricky journalists could not extract an ounce of information from them.

In the end, this extremely beautiful woman chose to announce that she had someone she liked the moment she stepped on stage? What the heck is this!

“Sister Xiaoyi.” Ling Xiaoyi had a wry smile and shook her head. “As expected.. Hai...”

“This is completely expected.” Li Yang smiled. “This is the real Sister Nianwei. All those hours spent laying on her legs were not wasted...”

Backstage, Heloise was stunned at first. She then laughed and said, “Hahaha, this idiot. She did not even debut and has already announced she likes someone? She’s digging her own grave! Now her support from the fans will drop by at least half, hahaha!”

Qi Shengjie took pitied and quietly said, “Hai, such a beauty, how can she have someone she likes? How can she have someone she likes? What a shame!”

The four judges were stunned. They looked at Li Nianwei and said, “Is... Is she insane? After she said that, her fans will drop by at least forty percent!”

On stage, Li Nianwei was indifferent to everyone’s reactions.

She could not see the depression of the surrounding audience. She could not see the mockery from Heloise. She could not see the pity of the four judges.

Only one person was in her heart now.

Hong Dali.

“Then, let’s begin.” Li Nianwei signaled the stage to begin. Soon, a soft melody emerged.

This song, Time Boils the Rain, had a beautiful tune and even more beautiful lyrics. They were perfectly suitable for Li Nianwei’s feelings right now.

The entire site became silent instantly.

“Great prelude,” Franklin quietly said.

Li Nianwei slowly closed her eyes. Everything around had nothing to do with her anymore. She just wanted to enjoy the moment right now. She wanted to enjoy the beauty of singing, and to think about the person in her heart.

She was entirely soaked in her emotions thinking about Hong Dali.

“Raindrops were blown into flowers by the wind,

Flowing time could not catch up with the galloping white horse.

Those teenage dreams of yours,

Do you still hold them tightly in your palms?”

“Young Master, do you know that someone is singing for you?”

After they heard Li Nianwei’s opening lines, everyone in the entire site was energized. They sat up in unison and listened quietly.

Brianna was stunned and said, “Such pure voice, amazing!”

“Clouds rolled up and down in the summer,

Tears were evaporated by the flowing time.

All of us were on the same road,

Did any of us get lost?”

Composer Lake nodded vehemently. “Mm! Good! Good song, good lyrics!”

The voice pure as water continued, the music was melodious.

This song was one of Hong Dali’s favorites in his original world. Its name was “Time Boils the Rain.” Hong Dali really liked the lyrics of the song. Of course, the tune was great too. Hence, he wrote it down for Li Nianwei as entertainment when he was bored.

This song was about two people who did not want to separate. Now Hong Dali was stuck on Earth, and it mirrored the message in the lyrics. Li Nianwei was extra dedicated as she sang this now. Her voice conveyed her thoughts for the person in her heart. The emotion was felt by everyone in their hearts.

Li Nianwei’s voice was already amazing. She was an expert at hitting both the low notes and the high notes. Now that she sang this song filled with emotions, she had perfectly presented the lyrics.

“We promised not to leave each other,

Must always stay together.

Even if we had to fight against time,

Even if the whole world turned its back against us.”

“Young Master, even if the whole world was against us, we would not leave each other. Is that okay?”

Li Nianwei’s singing echoed across the entire competition venue. It was heard by the ears, and it was heard by the hearts.

Everyone in the audience closed their eyes. They were submerged in the slight melancholy of the song. Their thoughts were returned to younger and simpler times by the voice filled with thoughts for the person of her heart.

Those solemn vows and promises of love. Those people that were loved deeply. Were they doing alright...

“This Li Nianwei sings so well?!” Shock! The only thing in Heloise’s heart now was deep shock!

Li Nianwei’s voice was so good! Light, pure, clean, uncomplicated.

With her full dedication now, the effects of her charm and verve were unprecedented.

The audience sitting here all came originally for Heloise. However, everyone knew that Li Nianwei was their true goddess the moment she opened her mouth. Heloise paled in comparison to her.

Everyone was quiet. They searched for the most tender part of their hearts.

This part had a beautiful name—first love.

“Snowflakes are blown into shining pieces by the wind,

Our hair is whitened.

We said that we would venture into the world together,

Do you still remember?

In that summer,

We made an infinitely large wish.

Hand in hand we would form a boat,

That would carry us across the river of sadness.”

Brianna slowly closed her eyes. As Li Nianwei’s singing continued, her heart was returned to the time before she debuted. The most unforgettable time of her first love. Yes, when she truly succeeded by herself, the happiness had disappeared.

“Perhaps, those times could never be found again...” Brianna looked melancholic. She lightly tapped on her thighs along with the beat.

As musicians themselves, the four judges were extremely sensitive to music. Now, they increasingly felt that this song, and the person who sang this song, were so alive. They were at everyone’s hearts, healing the souls that were hurt or had been hurt before.

“Sister Nianwei is amazing...” Li Yang was swaying his head to the music. He had not heard Li Nianwei sing this song before. However, he now knew that this song would cause a craze once it was released.

“You said that you would not part with me

And that we would be together forever

Now I want to ask you

Was that just a kid’s babble?”

“Can we, always, always, stay together...”

Disbelief was written across Heloise’s face. Her red lips were parted slightly, yet they no longer seemed so bright in color.

This was her opponent this time? Incredible, truly incredible!

Heloise had always lived in others’ compliments and envy. She was beautiful, good at singing and dancing. She always dreamt about being on Sing! Milky Way and winning awards. The dream was increasingly closer to her now. Yet, her opponent this time was too strong!

Heloise had always known since young that none of her peers could be mentioned in the same breath as her at anything. However, this time, the person finally appeared.

Li Nianwei!
