AFVSIBS Chapter 44

 While they were amazed by Zhou Chen's performance, Zhou Chen's song didn't stop. As the melody approached, the song entered its second verse:


In the convenience store, everything is available,

But there's not a penny in my pocket.

Zhuge's Fourth Son and the Devil's Party,

Who managed to snatch that precious sword?

The girl from the next class,

Why hasn't she passed by my window yet?

Mouth full of snacks, hands full of comics,

Childhood, the first love in the heart...


"His singing is too good, absolutely fantastic."


At this point, an elderly person sitting in the audience couldn't help but speak up.


Because this part of the song seemed to be sung just for him.


Who hasn't experienced the childhood of wanting to buy lots of goodies but having no pocket money?


Who hasn't experienced guessing the endings of their favorite comic stories?


Who hasn't experienced the innocent and unknowing first love of childhood?


Zhou Chen's voice seemed to bring forth another image of childhood in people's minds.


And Zhou Chen's song didn't stop there; he continued:


Always waiting until bedtime,

To realize homework was barely touched.

Always waiting until after exams,

To find out none of the required reading was done.

An inch of time is worth an inch of gold,

Teachers say that an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time.

Day after day, year after year,

The hazy childhood...


As the song reached this point, the program's viewership ratings had skyrocketed, and the term #Childhood# had begun trending on Weibo.


"Director Zhao, good news, great news. Our viewership has exceeded 3.0."


Assistant Qin Haishan, excitedly running over after seeing the backstage data, reported the pleasant surprise to Zhao An for the first time.


"That's fantastic. Our show is really going to take off now. Thanks to Zhou Chen's 'Childhood,' it's truly remarkable."


At this moment, Zhao An was filled with gratitude towards Zhou Chen.


He knew very well that if it weren't for Zhou Chen's appearance and his song "Childhood," the viewership ratings wouldn't have exceeded 3.0, let alone surged to the top trending topics.


"Yes! Zhou Chen's 'Childhood' hasn't even finished yet, and terms are already trending on Weibo. It's likely that he'll make it to the top three trending topics tonight."


"No, not just the top three, but the top one. Maybe even first place," Zhao An stated.


Zhao An was well aware that the elderly in the nursing home, the online audience, and the viewers in front of their TVs were still listening attentively to Zhou Chen's performance. Their support, once Zhou Chen finished singing, would undoubtedly skyrocket the hashtags #ZhouChen# and #Childhood#, easily placing them in the top three trending topics.

Yes, everyone who's tuned in to the show is still earnestly listening to Zhou Chen's performance. Zhou Chen has now reached the final section of "Childhood":


When will I be like the older students,

With a mature and grown-up face,

Longing for holidays, longing for tomorrow,

Longing for a grown-up childhood,

Day after day, year after year,

Longing for a grown-up childhood.


As the song came to an end, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, lasting for a long time before subsiding.


"It's so beautiful, Zhou Chen's 'Childhood' feels like it's taking me back to my childhood in an instant."


"I'm quite old, and I rarely like modern pop songs, but Zhou Chen's 'Childhood' is an exception. It's so meaningful, so deep; it feels like it was specially created for every elderly person in our nursing home. Listening to it brings back childhood memories time and time again."


"They say as you grow older, you tend to reminisce about your childhood. After listening to Zhou Chen's 'Childhood,' I truly understand. This song is extraordinary. I've never resonated so much with a song before."


...


The elderly in the nursing home expressed their feelings after listening to "Childhood."


They truly loved the song; after all, decades have passed, and everyone feels the urge to reminisce about their childhood. "Childhood" seems tailor-made for them.


"Zhou Chen really didn't disappoint us. 'Childhood' makes me even more determined to support him and love him. It's just fantastic."


"This is our Brother Chen, a genius musician. Those who mocked him for singing children's songs, can you step forward now?"


"Hahaha, the haters must be completely shut up now, right? Their faces must be swollen from Zhou Chen's 'Childhood.'"


"'Childhood' is such an amazing song. I hope Brother Chen releases a single MV soon. That way, I can set it as my phone ringtone."


"Truly, even the wall can't help but respect our Brother Chen. 'Childhood' completely proves his title as a musical genius. The haters can shut up completely now."


...


At this moment, Zhou Chen's fans are undoubtedly the happiest. They are expressing their support and admiration for their idol in the live chat.


As for those who initially doubted and mocked Zhou Chen for singing children's songs, they have naturally disappeared.


Even Li Yuan, sitting backstage, now kept his head down, afraid to look at the big screen in front.


He knew very well that the applause and everything reflected online had already demonstrated the popularity and excellence of Zhou Chen's "Childhood," which his own song couldn't compare to.


He was as embarrassed now as he had been arrogant earlier.


He wished he could end the event right now and sneak back to his room early.


"Zhou Chen is indeed a genius musician. I didn't expect 'Childhood' to be such a pleasant surprise."


At this moment, the pop diva Yang Hanhan couldn't help but sigh deeply.


She had stayed tuned to the live broadcast of the show today just to hear Zhou Chen perform a new original song.


Initially, her assistant had suggested she watch the video later, as it seemed like a waste of time for her, a pop diva, to listen to an unreleased trainee's original song in the live broadcast.


But Yang Hanhan insisted; she wanted to hear Zhou Chen sing "Childhood" firsthand.


Now Zhou Chen's talent and vocal skills had finally lived up to her expectations, and she didn't regret wasting her time holding her phone and waiting in the live broadcast.


"Yes, Yang Jie, I never expected someone who hasn't even debuted to create two such excellent songs. Zhou Chen, without a doubt, will make a mark in the entertainment industry."


At this moment, Yang Hanhan's assistant was also won over by Zhou Chen's "Childhood."

RAAS **Chapter 2: Talent Show**

 **Chapter 2: Talent Show** Today was the day Li Qing would make his comeback after a year of being sidelined. Through Han Han’s relentless efforts, the company finally relented and allowed Li Qing to participate in "Star of Music"! This meant that today was Li Qing’s first public appearance after being away from the entertainment industry for a whole year. Of course, it could also be his last… If Li Qing’s performance was as disappointing as it was a year ago, he would continue to be sidelined indefinitely until his contract with the company expired. However, this opportunity was more of a desperate measure than a real chance to boost his popularity. Unless he could stun the audience and create a significant impact, his comeback would be short-lived. Given his previous abilities, the likelihood of Li Qing astonishing everyone was slim to none. Moreover, one of the judges this time was Zhao Wendi, a member of the former Fire Boy duo. This was a setup; the company had no inten...
