Sa may entablado, maririnig ang makalumang estilo ng pasimulang musika ang tumutugtog.
Han Xianyu held up his microphone and started singing, "Boil a bowl of soup to clear the mind and warm the body. Blood and pain seeps a knight-errant's bones, tasted from the shadows of their sword and saber. The world drifts past us…"
Inangat ni Han Xian Yu ang mikropono sa kanyang bibig at nagsimula siyang kumanta, "Boil a bowl of soup to clear the mind and warm the body. Blood and pain seeps a knight-errant's bones, tasted from the shadows of their sword and saber. The world drifts past us…"
Gong Xu smiled flirtatiously at the fans. "Don't ask who's waiting. The second the gleaming sword pierces the air, it gently kisses your neck…"
Inakit ni Gong Xu ang mga fans gamit ang kanyang ngiti. "Don't ask who's waiting. The second the gleaming sword pierces the air, it gently kisses your neck…"
Luo Chen sang, "Victory or defeat decided in one touch, life or death sitting an inch away. Bitterly drinking in the silent night and the breathless wind…"
Kumanta si Luo Chen, "Victory or defeat decided in one touch, life or death sitting an inch away. Bitterly drinking in the silent night and the breathless wind…"
Luo Chen's reserved and restrictive personality, as well as his background in martial-art films, complimented this song well…
Bagay sa boses ni Luo Chrn ang kantang ito dahil sa kanyang mahiyain at tahinik na personalidad, gayundin sa kanyang background sa martial arts...
A glint shifted in Ye Wanwan's eyes. "After I tear apart this universe of morning and twilight and clean the earth with my gleaming blade, I'll drink the strongest liquor, love the prettiest person, and watch the billowing waves of the vast ocean beneath the expansive sky…"
Nag-iba ang tingin ni Ye Wan Wan. "After I tear apart this universe of morning and twilight and clean the earth with my gleaming blade, I'll drink the strongest liquor, love the prettiest person, and watch the billowing waves of the vast ocean beneath the expansive sky…"
"Ahhhh! Ye Bai! Ye Bai!"
"Marry me, goddess!"
"Pakasalan mo ako, Diyosa!"
"Brother Ye Bai, I want to warm your bed!"
"Brother Ye Bai, i-kama na lang kita!"
"God, I want to birth mixed-sex twins for you!"
"Diyosko, aanakan kita ng lalaki at babae na kambal para lamang sayo!"
Although Ye Wanwan was currently in female clothes, screams from the girls beneath the stage weren't lacking, and her popularity wasn't inferior to the popularity of Han Xianyu or the other two at all.
Gayunpaman, kahit na pang-babae ang damit ni Ye Wan Wan, hindi nagkukulanh ang mga hiyaw at sigaw ng mga babae, at kapantay nang kasikatan niya ang kasikatan nila Han Xian Yu at ang iba pa niyang kasama.
When she finished singing "watch the billowing waves of the vast ocean beneath the expansive sky" part, Gong Xu almost forgot his next lyrics and Han Xianyu's gaze…
Pagkatapos niyang kantahin ang "watch the billowing waves of the vast ocean beneath the expansive sky" na parte, muntikan nang makalimutan ni Gong Xu ang susunod na linya at biglang napatingin si Han Xian Yu kay Ye Wan Wan...
Finally, the four people sang the last part together, "Mountains and rivers topple, heaven and earth collapse, but I'll support this world with my entire life…"
Sa wakas, sabay-sabay na kinanta ng apat na tao ang huling parte, "Mountains and rivers topple, heaven and earth collapse, but I'll support this world with my entire life…"
The camera focused on the four people on the stage, and the shrieks and cheers beneath the stage pierced the air.
Nakatutok ang camera sa apat na tao sa entablado, at winarak ng mga hiyaw at sigaw ng mga tao ang ere.
Ye Wanwan looked at Han Xianyu, Gong Xu, and Luo Chen next to her, then at Ye Mufan, Jiang Yanran, and Fei Yang beneath the stage…
Tiningnan ni Ye Wan Wan sila Han Xian Yu, Gong Xu at Luo Chen na nasa tabi niya, at pagkatapos ay tiningnan nuya sila Ye Mu Fan, Jiang Yan Ran, at si Fei Yang sa ilalim ng entablado...
Then at all of their fans…
Pagkatapos ay tiningnan niya ang mga fans...
The feeling of loss and apprehension that lingered in her heat suddenly dispersed into nothing.
Biglang nawala ang kalungkutan ang pangangamba na umaangat sa kanyang puso.
So what if she wasn't Ye Wanwan?
Paano kung hindi talaga siya si Ye Wan Wan?
So what if she forgot her own self?
Paano kung nakalimutan na niya ang tunay niyang pagkatao?
Everything that she experienced while living as Ye Wanwan was real. These friends, family, and people who supported her and liked her—they were all real…
Lahat ng naranasan niya habang nabubuhay siya bilang si Ye Wan Wan ay totoo. Ang mga kaibigan, pamilya, at amg mga taong nag-suporta sa kanya ay nagustuhan siya–lahat sila ay totoo...
Even if she hadn't lived as herself, this period of her life was a valuable and precious part of her life. It wasn't meaningless.
Importante sa kanya ang oras na ito sa kanyang buhay, kahit na hindi siya nabuhay bilang ang tunay na sarili niya. Hindi ito walang kwenta.
As the final chorus finished, today's concert came to a satisfactory end.
Natapos na ang huling chorus, natapos ng maayos ang concert.
The fans that attended their concert all reluctantly left the stadium.
Mabilis na umalis ang lahat ng fans a dumalo sa stadium.
On the other end of Nameless Nie's video call, Tangtang's gaze trailed after Ye Wanwan on the stage until her figure completely disappeared to the back of the stage. The light in his eyes also grew dimmer bit by bit.
Sa kabilang panig ng video call ni Nameless Nie, sinundan ni Tang Tang si Ye Wan Wan na nasa entablado hanggang sa mawala ito sa likod ng entablado. Unti-untinga nalungkot si Tang Tang.
"Ahem… It's over…" Nameless Nie reminded him.
"Ahem… tapos na ang concert…" pina-alalahanan siya ni Nameless Nie.
The little fella's eyes longingly lingered on the empty stage. "Don't hang up."
Tiningnan na lamang ng bata ang entablado na walang laman. "Huwag mong ibababa."
Nameless Nie had no choice but to continue crouching on the wall.
Walang nagawa si Nameless Nie kundi magpatuloy na tumambay na lamang sa pader.
An unknown amount of time passed. The stadium turned desolate and the lights dimmed, but Tangtang was still looking at the empty stage.
Lumipas ang ilang mga sandali. Wala nang tao ang stadium at nagsara na ang mga ilaw, ngunit nakatingin pa rin sa entablado na walang laman si Tang Tang.
It was as if he could picture Mommy standing there as long as the scene was frozen there.
Parang nakikita niya si Mommy na nakatayo sa entablado basta't ang eksena ay nandoon pa rin.
Backstage:
La likod ng entablado:
"Brother Ye… are you okay?" Gong Xu cautiously asked.
"Brother Ye… okay ka lang ba?" Maingat na sinabi ni Gong Xu.
Han Xianyu also looked worried. "Ye Bai, do you feel unwell today?"
Mukhang nag-aalala si Han Xian Yu. "Ye Bai, masama ba ang pakiramdam mo ngayong araw?"
There was something amiss with Ye Wanwan's state today.
Kakaiba ang ugali ni Ye Wan Wan ngayong araw.
Ye Wanwan shook her head and was about to say she was fine when her gaze accidentally flitted past the wall of the stadium outside the window.
Umiling si Ye Wan Wan at sasabihin na niya sana na okay lang siya nang bigla siyang napatingin sa pader ng stadium sa labas ng bintana.
Uh… why… why was there someone on that wall…
Uh… bakit… may tao sa may pader...
Was she delusional and mistaken? How could someone climb so high recklessly and court death?
Delusyonal ba siya o nagkamali lang siya? Bakit may isang tao na aakyat sa entablado ang gugustuhin na mamatay?
Ye Wanwan rubbed her eyes and focused again. There was a person there indeed, and they were holding up their phone as though they were filming something.
Kinamot ni Ye Wan Wan ang kanyang mata at tiningnan niya muli ang tao sa pader. May tao nga talaga doon, at nakataas pa ang kanyang phone na parang nag-vi-video siya.
Uh, wait a minute! That person is…
Uh, teka lang! Yung taong iyon ay...
When Ye Wanwan saw who it was, she was flabbergasted.
Nagulat si Ye Wan Wan nang makita niya kung sino ito.
… Nameless Nie?
This guy… Last time, he climbed a tree. This time, he actually climbed a wall…
Ang lalaking ito… noon, umakyat siya sa puno. Ngayon naman, umakyat siya sa pader...
