Chapter 346: I'm going to let you guys take this in.

While Ling Chen sings, the judges evaluate him. Chu Jingyi has a slight smile, "He's doing pretty good." Singing a song from a famous artist will be stressful.

His singing will be compared to the original.

Ling Wei smirks, "Of course, he's my nephew." She's the one who gave Ling Chen the idea of using this song. She is also the one who had his company hire people to arrange the song too.

It was a quick job.

"There are some problems with it." While Ling Wei continues to show off, that confidence burst like a balloon the next second. Bo Ping's the one person who can say something like that.

"Oh, what's wrong with it, master Bo Ping?" The other judges can hear the condescending tone in her voice.

"The problem is that his singing doesn't suit the song. And the arrangement sounds too forced as well." Bo Ping continues to list out the problems with the song. Ling Wei's expression turns from a smug one to a lost and dirty one.

Chu Jingyi chuckles as he watches Ling Wei's pride crashing to the ground.

While that's happening, backstage,

"What do you think about it?" Lu Chen asks Zhang Jian. He didn't know whether this was good or not.

"He's doing fine." Zhang Jian thought Ling Chen was doing good too. However, he felt that there were too many emotions.

"You afraid?"

"Pff," Zhang Jian just laughs as he asks, "Nah, if I was afraid, then I would have given up in the beginning." Why would he be afraid after he came this far? Even if Ling Chen's doing well, it doesn't matter to him.

What matters right now is for him to focus on his song.

...

After Ling Chen finishes his song, everybody starts cheering for him.

"That's some great singing from Ling Chen. You can feel the hard work he put into this song. Now that we heard that, I'm wondering what our other contestant has in store for us." Hearing what the host said, the audience became more excited about what Zhang Jian planned.

"Well, that's my cue."

"Good luck."

"Thanks, brother Chen. Don't worry, I'll get you that win." Those are the last words Zhang Jian says as he walks out. The moment he walks out, many people, particularly the females, start shrieking. It becomes even more lethal when he waves his hand at them.

Compared to Ling Chen, the appearance of Zhang Jian gave something for people to look forward to. Compared to Ling Chen, Zhang Jian didn't have this high expectation compared to Ling Chen.

And for somebody to write his own songs and sing them so well makes him a diamond among the rocks.

The host asks, "Contestant Zhang Jian, are you going to be singing your own song, or do you have something else prepared for us."

Each of his songs are unique in their own way.

"I've prepared my own song to sing in this finale." The crowd becomes more hyped hearing that. Zhang Jian continues to explain,

"The song I'll be singing today will represent my past, present, and future. I call it a leap of fate." Zhang Jian takes a deep breath, ready to sing. The audience becomes silent, waiting for it.

As Zhang Jian begins to sing, his voice gentle and mild. It made everybody feel this sense of warmth and comfort. It feels like being embraced by the sunlight.

However, his voice became stern and dark, like something made him stagnate. The audience can feel the slowness coming onto them.

As the judges hear this, Bo Ping looks at Zhang Jian with surprise. He didn't expect Zhang Jian to be able to sing like this.? But that surprise isn't the end. As Zhang Jian was about to finish his song, that stagnation he had before was nowhere to be found. Instead, a more joyful and sense of longing came.

Chu Jingyi has an excited expression as he stares at Zhang Jian. While Ling Wei is just sneering at him.

After finishing his song, Zhang Jian sighs as he looks up at the audience.

"..." There was a long period of silence. Seeing this, Zhang Jian just stands there. He understood from this silence.

'I'm going to let you guys take this in.'
