Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 91: Liquidation Time Has Arrived

Under the dazzling fireworks, their eyes met, and with the climax of "Faded" playing, Xia Shen stood there stunned for a moment.

The face in my memory and the face in front of me gradually overlapped, as if the lines of time had intersected once again after more than a decade.

After a long while, Zhou Yumeng finally turned around and raised her phone.

After searching for a while, she said with a slightly reproachful tone, "Why are you so far away from me? Come closer!"

"Oh"

Xia Shen, who had just been controlling lightning on stage and had 100,000 people in his arms, no longer had that aura in front of his former "big brother". Instead, he moved a little closer, looking slightly reserved.

"Your wife is far away!"

However, Zhou Yumeng did not turn her head, but simply said this silently.

Xia Shen was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't bear to look at Zhou Yumeng's eyes and expression at that moment.

He could only approach it little by little in silence.

And so, their faces were almost touching, and Xia Shen finally saw Zhou Yumeng's expression through the screen of the phone she was holding.

Whether it was due to the lighting or something else, a noticeable blush spread across Zhou Yumeng's pretty face.

This is the first time in over a decade that they have been so close.

I remember the last time was when Xia Shen sprained his ankle. Zhou Yumeng, who was a head taller than him at the time, carried him home from the music room without saying a word and with a very forceful attitude.

At that time, Xia Shen was simply impressed by his good older brother's heroic spirit and loyalty.

At that time, he didn't know that if this behavior occurred among brothers, it would be called being a godfather.
At that time, he only felt that Zhou Zhou, who was half a head taller than him, was too awesome. When he fought with others, Zhou Zhou even protected him.

Even now, with the shift in time and space, he feels the same back that was still close to him as before, but the feeling is completely different now.

It was soft and fluffy, with a faint body fragrance lingering around his nose.

She used to be a head taller than him, but now the situation has reversed, and he has to look down to see the top of her head.

However, it would have been better if I hadn't looked down. Once I did, I saw the pectoral muscles that I used to think were exceptionally large when I was a child.

Actually, back then, if he had focused his attention a little, it wouldn't have been hard to notice some clues, because the differences between him and Zhou Yumeng had already begun to subtly emerge at that time.

Compared to others, Zhou Yumeng has shown terrifying strength since childhood.

Unfortunately, he was still young at that time.

He was still a kid who only knew how to watch tokusatsu dramas on TV, ignoring the stunning policewoman next to him and just staring intently at a few tin cans.

Don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate, don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate.

Xia Shen quickly looked away and turned to the camera.

"Hey."

At this moment, Zhou Yumeng spoke up.

"Hmm?" Xia Shen responded.

"eggplant."

"eggplant."

The scene froze at that moment, two figures, transcending time, standing together once again.

People who used to playfully fight in the music room now stand together on a world-class stage.

Although it's just the beginning, it's clear that this moment will be very valuable for certain people.

This scene was also captured by Ultra's official cameras.
That concludes the opening of this Ultra event.

For Ultra, this may only be the beginning.

But for some people, it's already a matter of time.

Xia Shen used all his strength and did his best, not wasting a single minute of the half hour.

That half hour drained all his enthusiasm and energy; he needed a rest.

Even many audience members on the main stage were surprised to find that many of them were actually prepared to enjoy a multi-day extravaganza, as several of the world's top producers would be appearing over the three days.

But when they opened their mouths, they discovered that their voices had become hoarse within half an hour.

They were exhausted from dancing, feeling completely drained and unable to muster any energy for the upcoming performances. Their minds were filled with the melodies and images of the music Xia Shen had played.

At the very beginning, "Intro" ignited emotions.

The emotions I felt when listening to "Wolves" and "The Nights".

Of course, there's also the echo of a tremor in the soul as night falls.

And then there's the revelry after nightfall, with its intense drumbeats and booming bass.

Then there's Xia Shen facing the doubts head-on, choosing to break through them in her own way, and inspiring everyone by revealing her past weaknesses on the international stage.

Then, as the familiar melody began to play, they were surprised to find that they had heard this Chinese singer's songs before, and they could even sing along loudly in Mandarin.

Until the very end, immersed in the detachment of the deep sea, amidst the intense fireworks, they felt their passion was forever frozen in those short thirty minutes.

In the audience area, many people were discussing things with their companions.

"Why don't we go back to the hotel first?"

"Yeah, I am a bit tired."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow?"

"Let's talk tomorrow."

Those who came alone silently put away their flags and turned to leave.

Including Xiao Zhongge and three others.

"Are you still watching Alex?" the boss asked.

"Should we not watch anymore?" The second son hesitated, "I think I've had enough."

“Indeed,” the fourth brother nodded in agreement.

"Shall we go back then?" Xiao Zhongge said in a hoarse voice.

From then on, the four of them turned and left with the large number of departing audience members.

In an instant, more than half of the people in the venue disappeared; perhaps only 30,000 to 40,000 foreigners remained out of a total of 100,000.

Even the host was somewhat surprised when he came on stage to introduce Alex.

When Alex went on stage and saw the empty audience area and the trash all over the place, he was completely dumbfounded.

Standing on the DJ booth, he no longer had the high spirits he had at the beginning, but instead looked dazed and confused in front of the camera.

It's like asking, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

Below them are a group of staff members urgently filling in props.

With so many staff members on stage, the stage effect was destined to be unattractive.

Backstage, several high-ranking Ultra executives shook their heads and sighed: "Sigh."

There is another person who shares the same worries as Alex.

That's MT-King.

Since Alex is one of the world's top 100, and he was on the main stage, he still has influence, and there were quite a few people in the audience.

At MT-King's place, there were practically no people left besides the staff.

Perhaps only a handful, a single-digit number, remain.

You can basically spot a few at a glance.

It's no surprise that only a few of his die-hard fans are still supporting him.

Just half an hour later, his performance was scheduled for an hour.

He had given up hope and could only have empty cheers all by himself.

Xia Shen took away the liveliness from the scene.

But online, his moment of fame has only just begun.

Since Xia Shen has shown a completely different performance, subverting everyone's expectations, then from this moment on, it's time for reckoning.
