Chapter 346 - 344: Two Performances

The performances next lighten up the atmosphere even more inside the stadium. After that first official beginning, they also push through the last challenges in this round.

The first team to perform is the dance category. Shen Lou, He Yan, Han Suwen, Nan Moyi and Lu Nanxiao appeared on the stage and began their explosive performance which gained massive cheers and squeals from the audience. Each trainee has their own personality and flair so it was very exciting to look at. Furthermore, the stage was also put on another level. Under the team’s mental power, they created game -like features and the audience themselves felt like they were inside a virtual reality game that brings fun and surprises.

Shen Lou is cold, He Yan is like sunshine, Han Suwen looks bewitching, Nan Moyi feels gentle and Lu Nanxiao is warm. The combination of the five top trainees dancing with a fast-paced creates a high-level energy and explosiveness.

Their song is titled ’Critical Hit’. It’s a fast-paced dance choreography by Xu Xinyi. It’s about the time when you are in a situation where you feel like everything is going down, like getting a critical hit in the game. However it’s also about not giving up and keep on resisting to the end.

"It’s not over yet

The road has no end

This game will never end

Because I can still run and fight!"

The five trainees dance with full energy and sharpness. They are now facing the audience with an endless confidence and courage to fight until the end because they know they can still overturn.

They do not want to accept any defeat.

"I’ve been hit like a critical

But it’s not the time to say it’s end

There’s no goodbye to my courage~"

The intensity of the atmosphere increases as they watch them move synchronization. Every movement was precise and executed with great effort and even without singing, the audience could feel the emotions they wanted to convey to them.

"No matter if I hit a thousand times

I will keep on moving forward

Because I believe that you will do so

We are dreamers that goes beyond the world~"

"The dreams we weaved will be fine

Because we are not just dreaming

We are believing and surviving~"

Their performance ended with a magnificent flash. It was a successful delivery that the mentors finally only gave them praises and additional good luck for the future that they will have.

For the next performance was the one that Lin Yu personally composed.

The ’White Chamomile’

The stage once again dimmed for a few seconds before the stage officially began. Unlike the dance group, this vocal group has completely contrasting vibes. They will not send an energetic performance that would make everyone jump in glee but rather this song is melodic and slow in tone.

Unlike the tiny stars that appeared earlier, this time small petals of the white chamomile starts to fall from above while soft green grass emerges from the ground. Large trees also became visible with many flowers of white chamomiles around.

The members of the group; Sheng Yan, Xing Ren, Gu Yuijin, and Chen Wei also appeared and the five were wearing casual clothing, full of youth and nostalgia.

"There was a time when everything was always bright

Where I feel like the sun welcomes me with joy

I could never forget even until this day..."

It was Sheng Yan who first sang. The four of them were positioned in every area. He was sitting on the bench near the tree, leaning his back as if he was not just singing but rather just telling them a story.

For others, Gu Yuijin was leaning on the tree, Xing Ren was sitting on the green grass, and Chen Wei was also sitting on another bench from the other side.

"A morning that welcomes after a sweet dream

An afternoon that basked me under the sun

And an evening that melts my heart

Oh, it was a day that I could never forget..."

Xing Ren was also known for his soft temperament so he was able to deliver his line perfectly.

"If possible, can this day just stay with me?"

In the next second, everyone was captivated when Gu Yuijin started to sing. Unlike his usual cold and aloof temperament, he exudes now with more softness. He was still silent but it was no longer who can approach. As if the ice finally melts in this moment of tenderness.

"I will wake up tomorrow with a smile

As if those memories were like yesterday

Because it stays with me..."

After softly singing his line, a smile finally appeared on his lips, making the audience gasp in surprise as they felt their heart quicken in glee.

"Oh, this rebirth is my heart

Do you feel it too?

The warmth and joy is something I will treasure the most."

The most unexpected was definitely Chen Wei. Known for his usual sharpness and arrogance, that young man was no longer seen tonight. He was still wearing his usual luxurious clothes but the way he raised his brow no longer felt like a provocation but an answer to everyone— he changed.

Yet as they thought, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the whole stadium.

"The white chamomile will be my gift to you

I offer my rebirth to welcome you in this life..."

"W-Wait!" He Yan and others were also watching on the side and hearing that tone made his eyes widen. Everyone aside was also dumbfounded because they knew that voice.

It’s from him! Qin An!

And everyone in the stadium saw that in the middle of the stage, a visual hologram of that familiar young man appeared on the stage.

"Do you accept me?" The young man softly sang.

"!!!"

Gasp and shouts were heard all over the place. It’s really him!

Even though it was just his recorded voice and his hologram, everyone still felt a pang of heartache inside them. This is the young man who chose to leave for them.

Someone who has still dreams that was already within his grasp but chose to let go for the sake of them. How could no one feel pity and love for this fellow?

On this night, who doesn’t know how much he changed and how he cherished the stage? It’s really a pity.

But remembering him through this performance, they knew that this is also what he wants them to do.

Thus, the nine of them only wanted one thing tonight, and that is to debut.
