135: Chapter 135 Did you do it on purpose, or accidentally?

After the prelude ended, Shen Qingxue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly began to sing.

"Time is amber, tears are locked away drop by drop."

"No matter how immortal a love letter is, it is worn down into an hourglass."

The moment these two lines of lyrics came out, the bullet comments in the livestream room paused briefly for a split second.

[Holy shit… These lyrics, what kind of divine metaphor is this!]

[Captivated from the very first note! Seriously captivated from the very first note!]

[These lyrics are so cinematic, I already have pictures in my head.]

[Brilliant! Lu Li still writes songs for the goddess with such reckless abandon.]

Shen Qingxue continued singing, her voice melodious and captivating.

"Upstream of youth, white clouds fly away along with grey dogs and seagulls."

"Thoughts that flash by slip away in a murmur."

"Fate is so humorous, making everyone who loves fall silent."

"An entire universe, traded for a single red bean."

When singing this line of lyrics, her voice grew slightly heavier, pushing her emotions upward by a layer just at the right moment.

The livestream room completely exploded.

[An entire universe, exchanged for a single red bean... What level of lyrics is this!!!]

[My goosebumps are up, they are seriously up!]

[Oh god, this contrast is just too amazing, the universe and a red bean—one infinitely large, one infinitely small.]

[These lyrics are so romantic, romantic enough to make me want to cry.]

[What on earth is Lu Li's background? He can even write lyrics like this?!]

[Who said Lu Li was slacking off before? Step out and take a beating!]

[I was wrong, I was truly wrong, Lu Li is the eternal god!]

On the judges' panel, the expressions of the five people were all different.

Some closed their eyes to feel it, some nodded slightly, and some stared at the stage with solemn expressions.

But without exception, everyone's attention was completely captivated.

On the stage, Shen Qingxue continued to sing.

And as the preceding buildup went on, the song gradually headed towards a climax.

"We are at a farewell concert."

"Having agreed not to meet again."

"The first song you wrote for me."

"You and I interlocked our fingers, silently writing out the prelude."

"But what about after that?"

"Good thing I have, this love song of mine."

"Gently, gently humming it, crying and smiling."

"My... eternity..."

As the chorus ended, the netizens finally had time to spare to type out bullet comments.

In an instant, densely packed bullet comments once again covered the screen entirely.

[Holy shit... Where is this a love song, this song title is just a misleading facade!]

[Clearly it's called "love song", why do I want to cry more the longer I listen?]

[The aftertaste of these lyrics is too strong, I want to listen to a second time right after finishing the first.]

[This guy Lu Li is truly reckless when writing songs, every single one of them is lethal.]

[Who said the song title was off-topic earlier? Does your face hurt now?]

[Indeed, I've finally realized that a "love song" doesn't necessarily have to be sweet, it can also be about farewell. Lu Li has really broadened his perspective with this move.]

[I feel like this song is just as awesome as "summer wind"!]

[It's not an illusion, me too, it's simply epic!]

On the stage, Shen Qingxue's voice continued.

Her delivery was even more delicate than the demo recorded by Lu Li, with every vocal run being just right.

Especially the emotions, which were grasped with extreme precision and perfection.

"Accompany me singing, a cappella singing your love song."

"Reluctant to part with the short chorus, my heart is still warm."

"It should also come to a close."

When singing up to this point, even Shen Qingxue couldn't help but immerse herself in the emotions of the song, her eye rims turning slightly red.

The bullet comments section became a sea of tears.

Every bullet comment sent out was a buried story.

[Wuwuwu, my tears are so worthless, dropping one by one.]

[These lyrics are like a mirror, reflecting my youth.]

[Suddenly I remembered many years ago, that person also interlocked fingers with me just like this.]

[Why is a big macho single dog like me getting my eyes wet too?]

[Because people always empathize...]

The song gradually entered its finale.

Shen Qingxue's voice slowly grew lighter.

"Good thing I have, my next love song."

"Life is like a quiet, embracing river."

"Forever... eternity..."

The final note fell, and the entire venue went silent.

It was silent for a full three seconds before applause surged in like a tide, lingering endlessly.

[Legendary status, this song has definitely achieved legendary status.]

[I originally thought "summer wind" was already the ceiling, I didn't expect there to be a ceiling above the ceiling?! Whose subordinate is this?]

[What kind of deity is Lu Li anyway? All the current major hits are his songs, is this reasonable?]

[Family members, I've already added this song to my playlist. Before the next match, I'll be living off of it.]

The host stepped onto the stage with a beaming smile.

"Thank you, thank you Teacher Shen for bringing us this... 'love song'."

He took a deep breath and turned to the judges' panel.

"Let's invite the judges to reveal their scores."

On the big screen, the scores of the five judges lit up one by one.

Finally, through calculation, the average score directly soared to a super high rating of 9.8!

The highest score of the entire venue, even surpassing her own record.

Shen Qingxue bowed slightly. There was still no major emotional fluctuation on her face, but the slightly upward arc of the corners of her mouth betrayed her.

"9.8 points! Congratulations Teacher Shen! Breaking a new high in score again! 'Do you have anything you'd like to say to everyone, Teacher Shen?'"

The host asked Shen Qingxue with a smile.

Shen Qingxue thought for a moment, her expression appearing very serious, but what shocked the netizens was that what she said was not serious at all.

"Hello everyone, someone asked me to help clarify for him that he is not a pervert. Please don't overthink it."

Inside the waiting area.

Hearing these words, Lu Li's eyes instantly widened.

Oh my god, what are you doing?!!!

Did he ever say such a thing? You really love stirring up trouble when things get lively!

Sure enough, the moment Shen Qingxue said these words, the entire livestream room instantly exploded.

[??? Someone? Which someone???]

[Does this even need to be asked? It's definitely Lu Li!!!]

[Why does it feel a bit like a guilty confession?]

[Holy shit, speaking of which, is this a disguised public announcement?]

[Family members, my heart can't take it anymore, this sugar is way too hard, I'm shipping them to death!]

[So Lu Li buying sanitary pads in the middle of the night was really for Shen Qingxue?! Cohabitation confirmed with concrete proof!]

[Hurry up and move the Civil Affairs Bureau here! Immediately! Right now! Right this second! I want to see them get their marriage certificate!]

Inside the waiting area, Lu Li merely glanced briefly at the bullet comment section, and the expression on his face instantly changed from shock to utter despair.

It's over.

This time it really can't be explained clearly anymore.

What does it mean to help someone clarify? And telling everyone not to overthink it—isn't this purely confessing without being asked?

Moreover, with these words coming out of Shen Qingxue's mouth, in the ears of the netizens, what difference was there from being together?

Lu Li took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.

Right now, there was only one thought in his mind.

Shen Qingxue, were you doing it on purpose, or was it an accident?

But if Shen Qingxue could hear his inner thoughts and respond, she would definitely say:

I did it on purpose.
