Entertainment: If you asked him to be a star, he'd just want to quit.

"Zhou Chen is in danger!"

Seeing the atmosphere on stage get lively, with both judges and audience members swaying to the music involuntarily, Li Mingxuan knew the vote count wasn't low.

Zhou Chen, on the other hand, is under much more pressure; it's unclear what song he chose.

As expected, all five judges gave very positive reviews. In the voting round, Deng Kai received a high score of 2,693 votes, second only to Li Mingxuan.

It will be very difficult for Zhou Chen to catch up and surpass others.

When Zhou Chen went on stage, Li Mingxuan shouted "Go Zhou Chen!" to encourage him, and Zhou Chen responded with a smile.

As Zhou Chen stepped onto the stage, his slender figure appeared frail, yet his eyes shone brightly.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Chen, an amateur singer. I am very happy to be able to stand here, let you hear my singing, and let you get to know me. The next song is dedicated to my parents. I hope that when they see it on TV, they will not be angry anymore."

As he spoke, he stepped back slightly, waiting for the music to begin.

Li Mingxuan had a general understanding of Zhou Chen's situation. He had filled out his college application without his parents' knowledge and chose the art college, which made his parents very angry.

Because they raised Zhou Chen with great care and hardship, hoping that he could choose a good major, find a good job in the future, and stay in a big city so that he wouldn't have to suffer with them in the countryside.

But Zhou Chen had always been obedient. This time, however, he rebelled and disobeyed his parents, resolutely choosing his own dream.

So he wanted to use this song to express that he had no regrets and hoped that his parents could forgive him and support him.

As the music began, a melodious ocarina note followed, then the piano added to the atmosphere with a deep, heavy melody that made everyone feel serious.

That familiar smile,

Like the warm spring sun shining into my heart.

The tenderness in my memory

Accompanying me through thick and thin,

Time quietly flows by,

Gray hairs have quietly crept onto his head.

She gave her all for her family without regret.

A busy figure is etched in his eyes.

With deep emotion, Zhou Chen sings of her love for her parents in a childlike voice, taking listeners back to their childhood, to the sight of their parents' hardworking figures, their black hair turning white, and the passage of time.

Wang Yan and Chu Ci are women, and they are more sensitive to their relatives. As they listened to Zhou Chen's singing, their eyes turned slightly red.

"You guys,"

It was the most beautiful firework of my life.

They silently endured all the hardships.

Love shines like stars in my heart.

May time slow down.

May happiness always be with you.

I will bravely fight for it.

Repay this deep affection with love.

I'll accompany you as time goes by.

Through every spring and autumn.

This is a very classic old song that has been covered by many veteran singers. Every time it is sung, it brings tears to the eyes of the audience. Zhou Chen, with a child's voice, sings about his love for his parents, which makes the song's emotions stand out even more.

In the audience, Wang Yan, Chu Ci, Lin Yue, and many other girls all had tears in their eyes, and some were even sobbing uncontrollably.

"You guys,

It is the brilliant light of my life.

Silently enduring all the bitterness,

Love is like a spring breeze caressing my heart.

May time move gently.

May beauty always be with you.

I will fight with all my might.

A warm song painted with love.

Accompanying you to appreciate the long river of time,

Enjoy every moment of joy.

When Zhou Chen finished singing, his eyes were filled with tears, but he was smiling at the moment.

"Zhou Chen, your singing of this song broke my heart. I've heard so many people cover this song, but there's never been a children's version. But your singing touched every mother's heart. I believe your parents will feel proud of you when they hear this song!" Chu Ci said with a smile while wiping her eyes.

"Sister Chu is right, your parents will definitely hear it, and they will be proud of you." Wang Yan's eyes were also red. She was also a mother, and if her child sang this song in front of her, she would definitely be moved to tears as well.

Although the two judges gave him very good reviews, Li Mingxuan was still a little worried.

The host prompted everyone to vote. A minute later, upon seeing the number, many people couldn't hold back their tears, and Zhou Chen burst into tears.

Two thousand six hundred and ninety-two!

One vote difference!

Just one vote short, Zhou Chen was eliminated in the quarterfinals and failed to make it into the semifinals!

But Zhou Chen smiled happily despite his tears.

At this moment, he wasn't competing, but because his song would be broadcast and his parents and eldest child would hear it. That alone made him content!

"sorry!"

"I'm sorry, Zhou Chen. I cast my vote for Deng Kai," Wang Yan said, crying. She had her own selfish reasons, because Deng Kai and Wang Yan worked at the same company!

The whole place was in an uproar!

Five judges, each of their votes is equivalent to ten votes, and the two were separated by only one vote. Originally, this should have been Zhou Chen's glory, but it slipped through his fingers because of Wang Yan's selfishness.

Li Mingxuan's expression also gradually turned cold. A similar scene had happened in that world, except that Zhou Shen, through his own efforts, completely turned his life around and became a hot topic, frequently appearing on various media programs.

Wang Yan seems to have become a second Ying, staging the same tragedy. One moment she was praising Zhou Chen in a grand manner, and the next moment she cast the crucial vote for her own people.

"It's alright, Teacher Wang. I'm already very satisfied with this." Zhou Chen shook his head with a smile, and his relieved tone made people feel even more sorry for him.

Wang Yan, on the other hand, covered her face and wept bitterly because of self-blame.

Lin Yue glanced at Zhou Chen, then at Li Mingxuan beside her, and her resolve to sign Zhou Chen became even stronger.

Zhou Chen came back, and Li Mingxuan went up to him and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

The latter smiled and shook his head, "I'm already very satisfied. Keep it up!"

Li Mingxuan nodded solemnly.

Next up, it'll be my turn.

"Please don't invite Wang Yan to my shows anymore."

In the backstage studio, Han Feng watched everything on the screen with a cold face. Although he was the director, the deed was done and could not be undone. He could only feel regret for Zhou Chen.

“Okay, Director Han,” the female assistant nodded in response.

The host then stepped onto the stage, expressing his regret for Zhou Chen in a tone of sorrow.

Then it leads to the next match.

Liu Yumeng VS Li Mingxuan!

Almost everyone subconsciously knew the outcome of this competition, but they were still full of anticipation for Li Mingxuan's song.

Liu Yumeng walked onto the stage with a smile.

"Although I already knew the outcome, I was still very unwilling to accept it. I also wanted to sing my song for everyone, and I hope everyone would like it."
