{Chapter: 78 Chi Qian's heart is moved! And I am waiting for you!}
Li Feifei, standing next to Lin Yuan, was equally dumbfounded, her eyes widening in disbelief.
"Wait... you're really going to sing an original song? And you wrote it yourself?" she asked, her voice tinged with surprise.
"Yeah," Lin Yuan nodded, his calm demeanor unfazed.
"Then... go ahead. Take your time, don't rush," Li Feifei encouraged, still somewhat unsure. She saw Lin Yuan more closely now, and his presence seemed far too composed and assured for someone likely to cause a scene at her concert. She sincerely hoped he wouldn't embarrass himself, and with her standing nearby, Lin Yuan's performance could be enhanced, no matter how bad his singing was.
She secretly sighed, bracing herself for what she expected to be a painful experience. She hoped it would be over quickly, but if things went wrong, she would step in to save him from embarrassment. After all, she didn't want to ruin the mood of her event.
Li Feifei stayed on stage in a small corner, watching as Lin Yuan calmly sat at the piano, adjusting the microphone.

Yan Ruyue, glancing at the screen of her phone, felt an odd sense of unease.
The memory of when Lin Yuan chased after her surfaced, a memory of him serenading her.
He sang songs to her.
That night, the Yan family hadn't slept soundly, tension hanging thick in the air.
Now, that same moment was about to unfold for a live audience of 100,000 people, with millions more watching from their screens.
What once felt like a personal memory was now on display for the world to see. It felt strange, almost surreal.
In front of everyone, he will seem like crying ghosts and howling wolves.
---
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, his confidence unwavering as he spoke into the microphone.
"Now, I will perform a song I personally wrote and composed," he said, his voice calm yet firm.
"This will be the first time I sing it. I hope you'll enjoy it."
He paused for a moment, drawing out the anticipation before revealing the title.
"The song is called... Blue and White Porcelain."
With those words, he placed his hands gently on the piano keys.
Despite the fact that Lin Yuan couldn't sing—both the current version of him and the original Lin Yuan in the novel were both tone-deaf—he had taken a step that would change everything. Before coming on stage, he had upgraded his singing to a divine level.
He had already chosen the song, one he truly loved and one that didn't exist in the novel's world.
Lin Yuan started to play, and the delicate notes of the piano filled the air.
---
"The plain outlines from the porcelain, with its strong and weak strokes combined."
"The peony painted on it is as beautiful as you."
As soon as Lin Yuan's voice rang out, the entire room fell into stunned silence.
His voice, while not striking at first, carried a strange and captivating magnetism that seemed to enchant everyone in the room. It was clear that something extraordinary was happening.
This was the power of his divine-level singing and divine-level piano skills.
For just a moment, the audience was no longer spectators; they were part of something ancient and beautiful. The music transported them to a scene that felt both timeless and magical.
In their minds, they saw a delicate silhouette of a woman, dressed in simple white robes, standing gracefully between swirling clouds and water, a mountain looming in the distance. Her presence seemed to fill the air, a reflection of the song itself.
The audience had forgotten about everything else. All that mattered was Lin Yuan's mesmerizing performance.
Yu Shanshan, who had been preparing herself for a disastrous display of howling, found her hands frozen in disbelief as the popcorn and skewer she had been holding slipped from her grasp.
Chi Qian, normally composed, felt as though the ground beneath her had crumbled. Her eyes were wide, unable to look away from Lin Yuan, completely captivated by the unexpected beauty of his voice.
---
Yan Ruyue, who had been prepared to turn down the volume at any moment, now found herself slack-jawed. She couldn't tear her gaze away from her screen. Lin Yuan's voice was so unexpectedly mesmerizing that she dropped her phone for the third time.
---
Li Feifei, always cautious of her public image, stood with her mouth agape, utterly stunned by what she was hearing. For the first time, her composure slipped. She couldn't believe how exceptional Lin Yuan's voice was.
It wasn't just good; it was ethereal, commanding attention with every note.
Even she, a seasoned performer, found herself questioning her own abilities in comparison.
Lin Yuan continued, his voice resonating through the venue as he reached the chorus.
---
"Your beauty dissipates like smoke.
It entered a place I cannot follow.
Within its blue misty drizzle, I am waiting for you.
Through its spiral smoke and rivers, we are a thousand miles apart.
That little stroke at the bottom of that vase,
Is a foreshadowing of our meeting to come.
Within its blue misty drizzle, I am waiting for you."
---
As the chorus echoed through the concert hall, the entire audience stood in rapt attention, some visibly moved to tears. The emotion was palpable, with many unable to hold back their feelings.
The image that Lin Yuan's voice painted was one of longing and unrequited love. They imagined a man waiting patiently for the return of his lover, but the beautiful woman never arrived.
A number of girls in the audience were so touched that their tears flowed freely, their hearts stirred by the deep emotion in Lin Yuan's voice.
The crowd, captivated by his talent, couldn't look away. Even Chi Qian, known for her unshakable calm, was completely mesmerized.
When Lin Yuan sang, "Within its blue misty drizzle I am waiting for you," his eyes briefly met Chi Qian's, and a small, knowing smile tugged at his lips.
For a split second, Chi Qian's heart skipped a beat. She was caught off guard, her cheeks flushing ever so slightly.
She thought, Is this his plan? Even though she realized what had happened, her heart raced uncontrollably.
"No way," Chi Qian muttered to herself, her eyes locked on Lin Yuan, unable to look away.
It wasn't an act. She was simply too shy to face him directly.
The realization hit her hard. She has lost again.
This time again, her heart was moved again.
The other girls who were near Chi Qian thought that Lin Yuan looked at them and hoped he would look at them again.
The girls around Chi Qian, eager to capture Lin Yuan's attention, cheered loudly, hoping to be noticed by him.
Lin Yuan, ever aware of the atmosphere, smiled again, his charisma further enhancing his performance.
With his noble bearing, handsome face, and enchanting voice, he sounded like the embodiment of an ancient love song.
His allure was undeniable, captivating the hearts of every girl present. The guys, too, were too entranced to notice their girlfriends' reactions.
Finally, Lin Yuan reached the last part of the song, standing with the microphone poised.
As he sang, "Within its blue misty drizzle I am waiting for you," he pointed the microphone toward the audience.
A collective roar erupted from the crowd, one hundred thousand strong. They responded in unison, their voices echoing through the venue: "And I am waiting for you!!!"
Even Yu Shanshan couldn't hold back, screaming as the emotion surged through her. Her throat felt raw, but the exhilaration was worth it.
Chi Qian then felt that her heart was beating faster.

Li Feifei, overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment, couldn't help but stare. How had Lin Yuan managed to sing like that?
The atmosphere in the concert hall was unlike anything she'd ever experienced, even surpassing the energy when she had performed.
Lin Yuan finished his song, and for a long moment, silence filled the space. The audience was still under the spell of his performance.
Then, as if on cue, the venue erupted into thunderous applause.
The crowd was united, their admiration for Lin Yuan undeniable, and they couldn't stop applauding for the unforgettable experience he had just given them.
