Chapter 124 Part 1: Tang Liuli’s "Heart Flow," Galaxies and Flames, Ultimate Victory. (1)

The audience in the live broadcast room burst into excitement as soon as they heard the prelude.

"Wow, Girls’ Generation’s debut song?"

"Did Little Sakura draw a winning card this time? ‘Into the New World’ has become the second national anthem of Chao Guo directly. Just in terms of historical significance, it surpasses ‘ACUTE’ by far."

"Tears in my eyes. I became a fan of the showbiz when I first followed Girls’ Generation. Now it has been over a decade, youth has faded, but I can still see newcomers dancing to this song and singing it."

"It’s Girls’ Generation now, it will be Girls’ Generation in the future, and forever Girls’ Generation!"

"I really like the translation of ‘Into the New World.’ When we meet again, it’s like stepping into a different world. It strangely resonates even more at this moment, evoking memories of a long-awaited reunion."

"It’s a pity that the three-person version of ‘Encounter With the World’ lacks the impactful choreography of the nine-member group dance. The outcome still depends on the lead singer’s performance."

The comments about the bullets were buzzing, with everyone feeling excited during the prelude.

Xie Qingxuan’s "Heart Flow" only had a supporting role, not fully controlling the audience’s emotions.

Even though the previous stage satisfied many people’s spirits, draining their emotions, this debut song from the originator of the girl group from the morning country was like an unbeatable nostalgic memory for the audience of "Dazzling Stage," including most of the viewers in the live stream.

The special emotions that had fermented through time completely overshadowed the individual stage, breaking through the debuff imposed by "Heart Flow," reigniting their interest in the stage.

However, this interest was only for the song "Into the New World," having both advantages and disadvantages for Kirimi Miyuki’s team.

On the bright side, the blockade imposed by the powerful "Heart Flow" was forcefully cracked open.

On the downside, the audience would unconsciously have too high expectations for this performance that recalls their youth.

——If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Any slight mistake or imperfection in this dance would be magnified indefinitely, leading to a complete turnaround in public opinion, a dramatic drop in scores, an extreme situation akin to walking on a tightrope.

Right now, on the stage.

Kirimi Miyuki’s eyes were pink with excitement, not nervous or worried. Even her jealousy towards Chu Yuanqing was swept away by her extreme focus as she stepped onto the stage.

– Idol.

If she could, she really wanted to ask her one-year-ago self if she believed that one year later she could be this close to the word "idol"? Close enough to step on the stage repeatedly and receive many encores and cheers.

But even if she was at her lowest, working at the convenience store, the version of herself with beats and lyrics in her head would seriously and confidently say, "I believe," when asked this question.

What Kirimi Miyuki believed in was never that she was destined to stand on the stage.

She believed in the self who had been betrayed, deceived, disappointed, fallen countless times, but kept getting up, determined, brave, and crying while dancing in the practice room.

Because of her belief, she was not afraid.

In this moment, the Perfect Interpretation Method transcended fantasies with strong determination, using a surge of mental waves to overlay the quantum states of both illusion and reality, replaying the extraordinary scenes on the performance stage, capturing and blending future projections.

Light, free, and passionate.

The girl danced gracefully, resembling the movements of the first girl group. Her skirt twirled as she moved, her steps were confident and natural. Her eyes were slightly upturned, with curled eyelashes. Whenever she glanced at the camera, her eyes sparkled like stars, shining bright with a confident smile.

This unique "Heart Flow" belonging to Kirimi Miyuki had no fancy effects or abilities. It was like a knight guarding her childhood vows, chasing after time for her from afar. It allowed her to meet the most perfect and radiant version of herself on stage.

In just a few brief seconds, the stage atmosphere created by the music blended with her personal charm, engulfing the mentors’ seats below like a tsunami. It then passed through the lens, reaching the depths of every audience member’s heart, creating dense ripples of emotions.

Youth, courage, hope…

These themes of "Into the New World" vividly came to life in the few breaths rendered by the "Heart Flow." Without the Great Devil’s oppressive aura dampening emotions, alongside the memory-enhancing effects of the music itself, it was enough to surprise the audience.

Unfortunately, it was only fleeting, not enough to fully immerse most of the audience in the performance.

At the same time, as the musical prelude neared its end, the three girls changed positions.

Tang Liuli replaced Kirimi Miyuki as the central focus, exuding purity with her green eyes contrasting against her fair skin. Her twin ponytails added to her youthful appearance, with a mole at the corner of her eye adding to her beauty and cuteness.

Tang Liuli was not on stage for the first time.

But this time, she was more serious than ever before.

Not only did she want to win back Chu Yuanqing’s admiration, she also wanted to see if she could shine on stage as an idol.

Life has no meaning.

This belief was instilled by childhood shadows.

However, the cheering signs raised in the audience during the performance, Chu Yuanqing’s care and lectures, struggling to complete homework awakened her numb brain, making her think about a question for the first time.

What is the value of an actor?

Why, after so many years, are there still many fans willing to support themselves? Can they find meaning in their own work? Is the reason for living to preserve this meaning?

Tang Liuli didn’t understand.

During the week spent with Little Sakura, she absorbed many of the other’s ideas about idols.

It was a simple and sincere thought, not letting down any fan who came for her, bringing happiness and smiles to all the audience on stage.

Tang Liuli had to admit that Kirimi Miyuki wasn’t just a bad woman, she was an innocent and stubborn idealist, the most idol-like idol in the whole Sea City’s "Dazzling Stage", someone who would never betray the beautiful definition of idols, even if she was not very smart.

If this is the ideal, even if a bit foolish, it’s still worth taking seriously.

Tang Liuli knew this stage performance would definitely be broadcasted, and there would be fans who came just for her, watching, observing, and loving herself at that moment.

So, even if it wasn’t for personal gain in being with Chu Yuanqing, just to not disappoint those who came for her, she had to uphold the values of being an idol at that moment, creating a stage that would make people feel happy!

The emerald green of Tang Liuli’s eyes was ignited like a fierce fire, shining brighter like a gem in a furnace, her thoughts speeding up, her sense of time slowing down, as if connecting seamlessly with Little Sakura’s outburst, entering the "Heart Flow" realm.

In that moment, the talent named empathy was completely under control, appearing in an abstract and surreal form.

Endless as if a dazzling galaxy, continuously expanding and surrounding from all directions, even reaching the end of sight, those dim stars, one after another, representing the fluctuation of emotions of different individuals.

This was her first time looking at these "stars" from a purely observational perspective that could evoke empathy.

So many, really so many.

Are all these people here to watch our performance?

Tang Liuli instantly snapped out of the illusion, not thinking about when Dream Weaver Rabbit started the livestream, nor why the audience’s emotions were so dim, only indulging in the unfamiliar joy and a deep sense of emotion.

The girl cast away the perennial melancholy in her eyes, and put on a bright smile in front of the camera, as if revealing long-hidden heartfelt words, she began to sing:

"I want to convey to you, even though it’s only after all the sad times have dispersed that you will hear it."

– Father’s indifference, mother’s death.

– The ignorance and despair of being treated as a tool since childhood, encompassed by a past filled with timidity and confusion.

"Close your eyes and feel it, that pounding heart, and the look in my eyes gazing at you."

I forgot how to smile at some point.

I lost the reason to move forward at some point.

"Don’t wait for special miracles, the path ahead is full of challenges."

Now, I want to work hard to meet her expectations, but I also don’t want to disappoint, even if that means you still like me and support me.

So…

"Even though the unknown future and obstacles can’t be changed, I won’t give up."

"Please protect me with your unwavering love, along with my scarred heart."

It was a voice as clear as jade, like a stream adorned with ice flowers, flowing gently, bringing sadness and determination, warmth and happiness.

In an instant, the ability called "emotional connection" erupted through a powerful singing voice, recounting Tang Liuli’s life for over a decade, blending into a brief gray poem.

Loneliness, sadness, anger, and fear set the tone at the beginning.

The middle notes are characterized by feelings of restriction, timidity, confusion, and decline.

Finally, hope, love, courage, and sincerity bring a harmonious ending to the fragrance.

All these emotions blend together into a passionate and intense feeling, piercing the hearts of all listeners through the medium of song. It slowly and gently spreads like fireworks, cleansing the weariness deep within the soul and revitalizing all emotions like a tonic.

Unbelievable.

Even those who do not know Tang Liuli at all find themselves involuntarily entranced by her singing.

Tang Liuli’s fans, feeling a sharp pain in their hearts that stirs countless memories, are left tearful and nostalgic.

They have watched this child grow up together, from being inexperienced in acting, having a shy smile, and feeling nervous during interviews, to becoming skilled in their craft, having a bright smile, gaining nationwide fame, and then disappearing for six whole years like a shooting star.

If Girls’ Generation is a memory of many fans’ youth and past.

This talented child star, who used to brighten many people’s lives, represents the peak of summer six years ago, known as a symbol of beauty and light to many audience members.

Now… these two completely different memories are blending together in her beautiful singing voice, where her pronunciation, tone, breath, and the mix of real and fake emotions are almost perfect, quietly simmering and burning.
