Such a person was definitely not destined to stay in a shallow pond!
Tang Tang had absolute confidence in her own judgment.
Even if he only had this one song for the rest of his life, he had reached a peak that others could never attain in a lifetime!
Thinking back to the melody she had just heard, the tip of Tang Tang's nose suddenly tinged with a sour ache!
So bitter!
It was simply too bitter!
Yet the release at the very end was genuine release as well.
"Great master!"
"I'm begging you!"
"If all else fails, at least tell me the name of this song!"
Tang Tang looked imploringly at Zhou Chen sitting in front of her. The man wore a black mask that revealed his deep-set brows and striking eyes, a faint sorrow lingering between them and furrowing slightly at this moment, stirring up waves of sympathy within Tang Tang.
Who was it?
Just who on earth had hurt him to make him sing such a poignant and unforgettable song?
They must have been utterly blind!
Little did Tang Tang know that Zhou Chen looked like this entirely because he had been terrified by her!
How could any woman be so fierce and completely disregard her image by grabbing his clothes like that?
And her strength was freakishly huge!
A grown man like him couldn't even move away if he wanted to!
Was she even a woman?
She must be a muscle Barbie!
"Ten Years."
"This song is called 《Ten Years》."
Ten Years!
Ten years ago, you didn't know me, and I didn't know you.
What a great name!
Tang Tang's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then what's your name?"
"Zhou Chen."
"I am Zhou Chen."
Not the Zhou Chen from Wind and Moon Legend; I am simply myself, I am just Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen? Such a familiar name!"
Tang Tang muttered to herself.
Even the online friends in the livestream chat joined in the discussion:
"So the great master is called Zhou Chen! From now on, he's my favorite idol."
"Ahhhhh, this song is definitely the number one heartbreak love song! It sounds like Zhou Chen wrote it himself, he's so talented!"
"Zhou Chen? Is he some newly debuted singer? Why does this name sound so familiar to me!"
"I think this name sounds really familiar too!"
"It feels like I've heard it somewhere before."
"Wait a minute, don't you guys know Baidu?"
"Holy shit!!!! My Baidu is back! Let me give you a hint!"
"What hint? Spit it out! If you leave your sentence half-finished, you'll pee in zigzags."
"Wind and Moon Legend!"
"Holy shit?"
"Holy shit??"
"Holy shit???"
The screen was flooded with "holy shit" remarks. No one could possibly have imagined that this was actually Zhou Chen from Wind and Moon Legend!
Wind and Moon Legend!
That Wind and Moon Legend where Zhao Min single-handedly held up half the sky—no, definitely the entire sky?!
That Wind and Moon Legend where Zhou Chen only ever slacked off and went "Oh yeah" "Oh yeah"?!
And now you're telling me that a song guaranteed to explode in popularity was sung by Zhou Chen from Wind and Moon Legend?
Are you kidding me!
I don't believe it!
It must be someone with the exact same name!
It has to be the exact same name!
Stirred up by the online friends in the livestream, Tang Tang couldn't help teasingly saying:
"What a coincidence!"
"Your name is just like the male lead singer of Wind and Moon Legend!"
Zhou Chen: "......Yeah."
Is it possible that he *is* that male lead singer?
Tang Tang felt that Zhou Chen was truly a man of few words. Aside from singing, did he even say a hundred words to her?
Never mind, great masters all had their own quirks!
She could understand.
Tang Tang blinked and suddenly exclaimed in amazement:
"Don't tell me! Your voice sounds a lot like the male lead singer too!"
Zhou Chen: "......"
How could it not!
He *was* the person himself.
Zhou Chen silently pulled down his mask and stared straight at Tang Tang in front of him.
Tang Tang's eyes widened all at once, and she blurted out:
"No way! You even look so much like Zhou Chen from Wind and Moon Legend!"
Zhou Chen: "???"
What the hell.
Aren't you going a bit too far???
Not recognizing his voice was one thing, but with his face right here in front of you, you still couldn't recognize him???
Back when he used to go out with Zhao Min and got mistaken for a passerby by tourists who dragged him over to take photos, that was fine.
After all, Zhao Min was pretty and had a ton of fans.
But this time!
Even after Tang Tang had brought it up to this point and he had bared his face for her to see, she still couldn't recognize him, for crying out loud?
To Zhou Chen's surprise, not only did Tang Tang fail to recognize him, but even the online friends in the livestream didn't recognize him for a moment:
"No way, they really look alike."
"Too similar, I can't even tell them apart."
"The song is genuinely great, it's just that the name is poorly chosen."
"Yeah, yeah."
"......"
Of course, some netizens said:
"Um, is it possible that he *is* Zhou Chen from Wind and Moon Legend?"
"He *is* Zhou Chen from Wind and Moon Legend!"
"He really is!"
"What the fuck!"
"What the fuck!"
"What the fuck!"
Everyone in the livestream found it hard to believe.
They all urged Tang Tang to verify Zhou Chen's identity.
Seeing the barrage of comments, Tang Tang was dumbfounded too.
She looked at Zhou Chen, then looked at the livestream.
Trembling and hesitating, she asked:
"Y-You couldn't really be Zhou Chen from Wind and Moon Legend, could you?"
One person only knew how to slack off, while the other sang with such bitter and sorrowful emotion.
One person only knew how to say "Oh yeah," while the other sang "Ten years ago, you didn't know me and I didn't know you, we were still just accompanying strangers by our sides."
And now you're telling me these are the same person?
"It really is hard on you to only realize it's me now."
Zhou Chen nodded, shattering Tang Tang's last shred of hope.
Tang Tang's expression made Zhou Chen have to wonder: was he really that pathetic?
Perhaps he wasn't pathetic; it was just that he had given all the spotlight to Zhao Min, choosing to silently lift her up in obscurity.
And now, when his own radiance bloomed once more, these people simply couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Yes!
It really was him!
A complex mixture of emotions surged within Tang Tang, leaving her mind in complete chaos and making it impossible for her nimble tongue to utter a single word.
"Holy shit! Mom, come look at what I found."
"It really is Zhou Chen from Wind and Moon Legend! How can he be so amazingly talented?"
"I knew a song and lyrics like this could never be written by an amateur!"
"I never expected that Zhou Chen, who always slacked off in the group, actually had a side like this?"
"《Ten Years》 is such a great song! It has a completely different style from Wind and Moon Legend. His previous songs felt like they were just there to set off Zhao Min, failing to showcase Zhou Chen's true strength."
"Zhou Chen used a song called 《Ten Years》 to show us that it's not that he lacked strength, but that he was far too strong!"
"Who said Zhou Chen had no talent? Bring them here to listen to this song! It's sung so movingly."
"Zhou Chen! Zhou Chen! Zhou Chen!"
"Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen!"
"Zhou Chen!"
"......"
The comments in the livestream flooded the screen with this name.
This left online friends who had just entered the livestream completely bewildered.
They had clearly entered Tang Tang's livestream!
Why was everyone spamming Zhou Chen's name?
Zhou Chen?
Wasn't that the slacking-off good-for-nothing?
As Tang Tang's top-ranking supporter just entering the broadcast, Jiang Chuan couldn't help typing out:
"Why are you all spamming this loser's name in Tang Tang's livestream?"
The next second, countless viewer comments poured in:
"I used to think the same way, but today I realized I was wrong!"
"Zhou Chen is the real powerhouse, he became a legend with a single song!"
"Bro, I've already uploaded it to Doukuai, go check it out yourself!"
"Gentle reminder: please don't open it when you're alone, and don't click on it in the dead of night."
"......"
Looking at the viewers' comments, Jiang Chuan was completely baffled. It seemed like everyone was speaking up for Zhou Chen!
They had all been cursing Zhou Chen together just before! How did you guys switch sides so fast without even notifying me?
I treated you like brothers, and you guys went behind my back and mutinied, didn't you?
"Go watch it! Seriously!"
Jiang Chuan: "Swear on your life as a Dragon Kingdom citizen!"
"Dragon Kingdom citizens never lie to Dragon Kingdom citizens!"
He was even using that oath?
Jiang Chuan was shocked!
What a heavy commitment that was.
The price paid just to trick him into watching it was simply too high!
"It's true! Trust me, Big Brother Top Supporter!"
"Go watch it, you won't be disappointed!"
"Remember to have tissues ready."
Half-skeptical, Jiang Chuan stared at these comments, exited the livestream, and went to search for the bro who had just said he posted the video.
He clicked into the homepage video.
The sound of a guitar slowly drifted out.
This prelude... has some substance to it!
Jiang Chuan, who had been lazily leaning back in his chair, immediately sat up straight, a bit more seriousness on his face.
When the very first line of lyrics came out, every trace of contempt on Jiang Chuan's face vanished entirely, and he was completely and utterly immersed in it!
Following the lyrics, there was pain, sorrow, and finally, total release!
By the time the guitar notes faded away, he remained dazed for a long time.
And his face was soaked with tears!
Coming to his senses belatedly, Jiang Chuan wiped away his tears and re-entered the livestream.
"I punish myself with a drink for my rashness!"
"I was too hasty!"
"Truly awesome."
"......"
The prevailing wind in the livestream had completely changed!
Viewers who finished listening to 《Ten Years》 would rush to force-recommend it to anyone newly entering, itching to help them open their phones on the spot!
And every viewer who came back after listening to 《Ten Years》 was thoroughly brainwashed and joined in the recommendations.
It formed a complete loop!
The viewer count in the livestream continued to soar.
Gift special effects flew all across the screen.
One stacked on top of another, becoming so numerous that it was almost impossible to tell who had sent what anymore.
New Year celebrations couldn't possibly be any livelier than this!
Even Tang Tang, who had tens of millions of fans, was completely dumbfounded by this crazy spectacle in the livestream!
These people had clearly come for her, yet in the end they had all gone wild for Zhou Chen!
Zhou Chen!
With just a single song, he had caused a phenomenon like this.
After today,
who would ever dare say he lacked talent?
Who would still say he only knew how to slack off?
Nonsense!
It was all sheer jealousy!
"Are you done? If you're done, I'm leaving."
