How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Luo Xi began to sing in rhythm: "My dreams were too young / My wings were not yet fully grown."

Her slightly hoarse yet clear voice came through the in-ear monitor, and sorrow welled up inside her.

Lee Yong-hyun continued indifferently in his voice: "Stumbling and falling, wings broken in the mud / Blood gradually stains the shattered old dream."

Song Chuchu closed his eyes and sang the second verse, conveying the bewilderment he felt: "I want to sing for you / to become a bird / instead of wandering aimlessly —"

The lyrics to "wandering" were sung with a slightly drawn-out tone, accompanied by soft piano music. Lu Yun crossed his arms, frowning as he sensed the bewildering atmosphere.

The song continues: "But you seem not to understand / So close yet so far / Always so hard to reach."

A few notes played on the guitar, a blank strum, and Luo Xi weaves a web of melancholy and confusion: "I wither alone / dreaming of azaleas—"

Gu Minxing took a deep breath, and amidst the melancholic melody of the accompanying music, sang the chorus with a deep, misty voice: "Red and gray, a dream without you—/A dream of torment, loneliness, and loss of direction—/Just to keep myself within the limits of what I can still endure, ooh—oo—ooh."

Luo Xiru sang with a sigh: "Don't worry that I'm deceiving myself / Because the shattered dream still lingers in the dream / But why—"

Gu Minxing's voice was like a broken string: "Without you / Only the dream of azaleas remains."

The vocals ceased, and the poignant interlude of violin, cello, guitar, and piano filled the entire studio, as if to place this profound sorrow and deep emotion into the hearts of every listener.

As Lu Yun stepped into the final part of the interlude, he sang: "All the blood-red petals have burned away / I awoke in your arms / It was just my imagination."

Song Chuchu: "In reality, I have long been abandoned on a deserted island / helplessly dreaming of a dream I can never return to."

Luo Xi's harmonies: "A dream that can never be returned to"

Lee Yong-hyun: "Without you / Only the dream of azaleas remains."

Gu Minxing harmonized: "The Dream of the Azalea"

Luo Xi sang again, keeping time with the rhythm: "My lost heart / Can't hear a sound—"

Lee Yong-hyun continued indifferently, "Stumbling and falling, wings broken in the mud / Blood gradually stains the shattered old dreams."

"I want to sing for you / to become a bird / instead of wandering aimlessly..."

……

With the support of the ultimate accompaniment of the live performance, it was as if every note had an added emotional impact, and everyone became a lost teenager dreaming of azaleas.

After the song ended, the five people, having fully released all their emotions, bowed steadily to the audience, and were met with exceptionally enthusiastic applause.

More than the system's rewards, the continuous applause as they left was the best reward for Luo Xi.

Although they didn't know how their performance would be evaluated in the future, when they returned to the dressing room, Luo Xi could still feel that the singers' attitudes and gazes towards them had changed—the arrogant gazes had turned into scrutiny, the indifferent gazes were now looking at them with curiosity, and Teacher Zhu Chunfeng, who had always been very friendly to them, directly praised them, saying, "You sang so movingly."

So it should be pretty good, right?

Tonight it's Luo Xi's turn for a solo live stream.

After returning to the company from the show, Luo Xi quickly changed her clothes and touched up her makeup before turning on ILeTer's live stream channel.

With the promotion from Mo Ri and the two nights of live streaming by Song Chuchu and Lu Yun, as soon as Luo Xi opened the page, there was a large and ever-increasing number of viewers.

Luo Xi smiled infectiously at the camera: "Hi everyone! Candles! Did you all watch the live stream of 'Sing Out Loud Tonight'?"

Luo Xi only said this one sentence, and hundreds of comments were already flooding the comments section.

"The performance was fantastic!"

"I love it so much!"

"How can this be so amazing, Xibao!"

"Singing prodigy Luo Enxi!"

"Let me kiss you."
