Chapter 149: At This Moment, Even the Air is Sweet
It was not until Xue Qianqian finished singing the entire song that the comments on the screen flooded with high praise!
"Incredible! I heard such helplessness and heartache in the face of betrayal from Xue Qianqian's voice!"
"They say it takes fifty thousand glances back in a past life to brush past someone in this lifetime. Since the two of you have already come together in this life, why can't there be a little more sincerity between you?"
"Exactly! The person in front of you is a choice you made only after careful consideration—why betray that?"
"My heart hurts so much..."
"How many years has it been? How many years has it been since a song made me cry!"
"You can't sing this kind of heartbreaking anguish unless you've been through five or six failed marriages..."
Pfft~
Yang Mimi burst into laughter once again, tears almost welling up from amusement.
The netizens this season were simply too mischievous.
She wondered what Xue Qianqian himself would feel if he saw this comment.
The next time she ran into Xue Qianqian, she definitely had to ask him about it...
Soon, the television announced, "Next, let's welcome Teacher Yang Mimi to bring us her performance!"
Yang Mimi instantly reined in her loud laughter.
Then, with a somewhat nervous expression, she looked toward the television, before casting a secret glance at Su Bai, who was watching the screen with rapt attention.
As she looked up, the tone of the comments online changed in an instant.
"Uh... can I fast-forward?"
"Could the third teacher just not sing? Sitting right there just to let us feast our eyes is enough!"
"For some reason, I find Yang Mimi really annoying..."
"Agreed, I find her annoying too. She can't sing, so why come to *The Coming One*? Coming in the first season was one thing, but she's here again this season. Listening to other people's songs is a treat, but listening to hers..."
"I suddenly don't hate Hua Chenyu as much anymore. At least that could be called singing. Can what's coming up next even be called singing?"
All sorts of harsh opinions emerged endlessly across the internet.
Because Yang Mimi was staring fixedly at the screen, almost every single comment fell into her field of vision without exception.
As she read everyone's evaluations of her, Yang Mimi felt her complexion turning pale bit by bit.
Previously, Yang Mimi knew that people's evaluations of her were not favorable, so she had deliberately avoided reading netizens' comments.
Out of sight, out of mind, and her heart wouldn't hurt as much.
But now, because she had to watch the upcoming program...
Su Bai keenly sensed the drastic shift in Yang Mimi's emotions. Seeing her lightly trembling body and increasingly pale face, he knew she was enduring a massive psychological shock.
Su Bai gently leaned closer to Yang Mimi and tightly grasped her hand with one of his, wanting to offer her encouragement.
Feeling Su Bai's strong and reassuring arm, Yang Mimi raised her head to look at him, then buried herself entirely in Su Bai's embrace. Gradually, her trembling body began to calm down.
Although the gesture was rather ambiguous, Su Bai knew that Yang Mimi was experiencing intense inner torment at the moment, so he did not pull away.
"Don't pay attention to these comments. Look at me—so many people online curse at me, yet I still act like nothing happened..."
Yang Mimi offered a faint smile. It was evident that her smile was somewhat strained.
The situations of the two were different, and Yang Mimi understood that.
When Su Bai was being cursed at, he knew deep down that he had been wronged, which gave him inner conviction.
As for herself being cursed at, it was because her singing was indeed terrible, which was why she was being reviled!
How could she possibly manage to be as calm and indifferent as Su Bai?
On the television, following a witty self-introduction that drew a wave of uproarious laughter from the audience, Yang Mimi began her performance.
Su Bai could feel that the hand Yang Mimi was using to hold his grew even tighter.
"I want to see you smile,
I want to make a fuss with you,
I want to hold you in my embrace.
One second we're arguing with flushed faces,
The next second we turn around and make up.
......
Just once is enough, I will take you to see the ends of the earth.
Laughing heartily under the bright sunshine.
......
The world is still small, I will accompany you to the corners of the world,
Stopping our search in a corner without worries,
Growing old slowly in carefree times,
Do you know that all my heartbeats
Beat along with you."
As the song came to an end, everyone at the scene fell silent.
The comments that had been rolling endlessly across the internet also went silent!
Yang Mimi raised her head to look at Su Bai, yearning for his affirmation.
Su Bai said from the bottom of his heart, "You sang wonderfully, truly!"
Yang Mimi stared straight at Su Bai and asked, "Really? You're not just saying that to encourage me, are you?"
Su Bai replied very earnestly, "I'm serious. You can tell just by looking at the shift in people's attitudes in the online comments!"
Sure enough, Yang Mimi turned her head back to look at the comments on the screen, and the public sentiment had completely reversed.
"I really didn't expect Yang Mimi to sing so well!"
"A sudden rush of heartbeat—at this exact moment, I want to fall in love!"
"Xue Qianqian's song is the pain of parting with an ex, but Yang Mimi's is the sweetness of being with a first love!"
"Yang Mimi has changed so much!"
"Compared to the first season, she has really improved immensely now."
Seeing the online comments, Yang Mimi looked up at Su Bai once more, a happy smile blooming across her face.
At that instant, Yang Mimi seemed to resonate with the beautiful meaning embedded within the lyrics.
I want to see you smile, I want to make a fuss with you, I want to hold you in my embrace!
"Su Bai."
Yang Mimi lifted her head, looking at Su Bai who was holding her.
"Hmm?"
Su Bai looked at Yang Mimi with a trace of confusion.
While her emotions had been somewhat out of control earlier, Su Bai now felt that their current posture was a bit awkward.
"Thank you!"
"It was you who imbued me with such great energy!"
"It was you who gave me the driving force to forge ahead fearlessly!"
"It was you who brought about a earth-shattering transformation in me!"
Su Bai shook his head and said sincerely, "You are truly wonderful; it's just that you hadn't discovered your own potential yet!"
"Just as everyone says: beautiful, and talented."
"Most importantly, your figure is great too!"
With a smile in her eyes, Yang Mimi glanced at him and asked, "Is that so? Where is my figure great?"
Su Bai's gaze involuntarily drifted downward for a second, but he remained silent.
Yang Mimi asked with a cheeky grin, "Do you like it?"
Once again, Su Bai nodded involuntarily.
Before Su Bai could react, Yang Mimi directly wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a passionate kiss.
At that moment, the entire world seemed to turn sweet...
