The Spring Festival Gala had a unique meaning to the Chinese.

Every year during the Spring Festival, more than a billion people would watch this program. Furthermore, the Spring Festival Gala was a heavyweight gala event for national television stations. To be able to receive this invitation was what many celebrities in the entertainment industry dreamed of.

“Great.” Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan’s hair and praised her.

“Will you be there when the time comes?” To Xia Wanyuan, New Year’s Eve was a day to reunite with her family.

“Nonsense.” Jun Shiling knocked her forehead. “Since you’re going, how can I not go? When the time comes, I’ll be a passionate audience below the stage and clap for you.”

“Okay.” Only then did Xia Wanyuan reply to Tang Yin and say that she accepted it.

“Tsk.” Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. “Why are you so clingy? You have to see if I’m going to attend an event.”

Although his words were filled with disdain, Jun Shiling’s tone was filled with smugness.

Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was secretly happy, so she did not bicker with him.

“What day is it today?” Xia Wanyuan, who had been at home for the past few days, had forgotten the date.

“Friday. Why?”

Friday? Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. “Singer” seemed to be broadcasting today. Xia Wanyuan wanted to switch on the television, but she suddenly thought of something and looked at Jun Shiling.

“Haven’t you been busy the past few days? Aren’t you going to work?”

Jun Shiling was indeed very busy. He was worried that Xia Wanyuan was in a bad mood and would take time to come back and eat with her every afternoon. It would take a lot of time to go back and forth.

When things could not be settled, they could only wait for nighttime and he had to work overtime.

Jun Shiling had indeed planned to work overtime in the study just now, but he saw that Xia Wanyuan was in such a hurry to let him go.

“Is there anything in your program that you don’t want me to see?”

“No, go and finish up your things. I want to sleep early today. Come back early.” In the past, whenever Xia Wanyuan said this, Jun Shiling would go to the study to settle things quickly.

However, it was useless today.

Jun Shiling switched on the television directly, then sat on the sofa and hugged Xia Wanyuan. “How can I not watch Madam’s television program?”

“…” Xia Wanyuan was silent. She thought to herself, ‘Watch if you want. In the end, you’re the one who’s sulking.’

[ It’s here, it’s here. It’s finally here. ]

[ Has it started? I’m here for Yuan Yuan! ]

[ Squeeze a little. What’s the theme today? I’m so looking forward to it. ]

A familiar golden microphone appeared. After the host introduced a long list of sponsors, the program finally began.

The theme this time was the foreign world. The television station’s stage effects were very good. The foreign styles of the world seemed to have been moved onto the stage.

The first was the individual segment. Lin Xuan was the first to appear. Her voice was hoarse and had the texture of red wine. And she was lucky to have drawn an english song that matched her personal style.

Lin Xuan had fiery red lips and was wearing a pair of pants and suspenders that were filled with glitter. She sang and danced enthusiastically, stirring up the atmosphere of the entire venue.

Lin Xuan’s performance was quite good. The judges and teachers gave her a high score. The other two people’s performance was also very amazing, but their scores were still lower than Lin Xuan’s.

Now, only Xia Wanyuan, who had not appeared, did not have a score.

Lin Xuan was an experienced A-list celebrity. Although she was very strong, because she knew the topic in advance, Lin Xuan was completely prepared. She had practiced that song countless times. It could be said that every note was exquisite.

However, Xia Wanyuan’s scores in the past few episodes had also displayed her strength.

The comments were already in chaos over who would win in the end.

Just as the comments were noisy, the third contestant left the stage. The lights on the stage slowly dimmed and gradually turned dark blue.

The stage became a large lake. In the distance, there were mountains and precipitous ridges. A faint layer of fog rose by the lake.

Wearing a blue dress, Xia Wanyuan, who was like a fairy that had risen from the lake, gradually appeared on camera.

The makeup that Mu Feng had put on Xia Wanyuan had a hint of seductiveness. As her eyes swirled, it made one’s heart tremble.

The moment the prelude sounded, the comments became excited. This was a classic old song that had been sung for half a century.

Because it was a classic, it was difficult to control and surpass.

On the stage, a fish leaped out of the water and splashed. Xia Wanyuan’s low hum gradually sounded.

Jun Shiling’s French pronunciation was extremely accurate, and he had learned the French royal pronunciation. There was a hint of classical in the lingering. Xia Wanyuan followed his tone and had the same rhythm.

The entire tone of the original song had a hint of sadness. When Xia Wanyuan looked at the lyrics, she had some insight, so she changed the way she sang.

The tone was still the same, but when Xia Wanyuan did it, there was a hint of joy in the sadness.

Everyone followed Xia Wanyuan as they strolled by the lake, recalling the lover of their dreams. Although they could not see each other now, thinking that their hearts were connected, joy naturally seeped out of sorrow.

Xia Wanyuan’s voice was ethereal to begin with, and it completely matched the aura of this song. Anyone who listened to this song felt that even if Xia Wanyuan could not surpass the original singer, she definitely sang with a different charm. Compared to the original song, she was not inferior at all.

After the song, the entire audience erupted in applause. Some of the audience were touched by the pure and hazy love in the song, and even had tears streaming down their faces.

“You sang very well.” Jun Shiling nodded at Xia Wanyuan. “You sang so well. What’s there to be embarrassed about for me to see?”

“Alright, you’re done watching. Go to work quickly. I want to sleep early today.” Xia Wanyuan nudged Jun Shiling.

“Okay.” Jun Shiling stood up to leave.

The host on the television began to announce the next segment. “The next segment is the PK match between the contestants. The first group of PK members is Lin Xuan and Xia Wanyuan. Please be prepared.”

Jun Shiling lowered his head and glanced at Xia Wanyuan. Seeing the obvious unnatural expression on her face, he snorted coldly in his heart. This person is definitely hiding something from me.

Hence, he sat back down.

In general PK competitions, the production team would prepare topics for the two contestants.

However, in order to increase the program’s viewership ratings and increase the controversial topic, the program team directly handed the contents of the PK to the contestants to decide.

Xia Wanyuan and Lin Xuan each could come up with two themes.

[ Amazing, is there a need for Lin Xuan to compete? If Xia Wanyuan says’ let’s compete in poetry ‘, won’t Lin Xuan be doomed? ]

[ That’s too unfair. This is a song program. If Xia Wanyuan wants to show her talent, she can go to the poetry meet next door. If she wants to find a sense of existence here, that’s too much of a bully. ]

On the program, Xia Wanyuan and Lin Xuan clearly did not realize what the production team was doing. When Lin Xuan heard the host recite the PK rules, she panicked. If Xia Wanyuan really wanted to compete in poetry, how could she?

Lin Xuan raised her hand.. “I have a question.”
