Chapter 1065: Chapter 1065

Xu Xin finished her song and, naturally, received countless rounds of applause once again. The audience only cared about the voice and didn’t know the real Xu Xin; they were completely deceived.

Lin Qiao’en and the other judges lavished praise without reservation. In truth, the song by Zhang Zhiqian was superb for covers. However, Lin Qiao’en knew that Li Changlin would also be performing soon, and her praises for Xu Xin were already biased by the mindset to suppress Li Changlin.

"It sounds really nice!"

"I love Teacher Zhang’s songs the most, and I didn’t expect Xu Xin to reach such a level of authenticity with her rendition. If I hadn’t seen her in person, I almost would have thought it was Teacher Zhang himself singing!"

"The key is that Xu Xin’s falsetto is so impressive—it’s no less remarkable than Li Changlin’s!"

The audience also bought into it, especially a few guys holding signs below the stage, who were screaming at the top of their lungs, shouting things like "Xu Xin, I love you" and "I’ll always support you." Watching this from his room, Li Changlin felt an urge to vomit.

But honestly, Li Changlin did admire Xu Xin’s vocal skills.

There’s a difference between a professional and an amateur. Having studied alongside Xu Xin for four years, Li Changlin knew she had put a lot of effort into her singing skills.

Next, the judges began their evaluations, and Lin Qiao’en was generous with a high score of 9.5. Following her, Liu Jielun and Luo Weiting also gave scores of 9.3 and 9.4 respectively.

When it was Zhao Yixuan’s turn, she also gave a 9.3, nothing surprising there.

However, Luo Tianyi once again gave Xu Xin a 6, making it clear that she didn’t woman.

Of course, on a stage like The Voice, Luo Tianyi couldn’t let her personal preferences dictate her comments. Her reason remained that Xu Xin’s cover couldn’t meet her expectations since it wasn’t original.

On this point, several audience members couldn’t help but boo, but no one dared to stand up and argue.

The facts were right there after all — every song Luo Tianyi performed on The Voice the previous year was original, so it was, at most, a nitpick to hold the contestants to such a standard, and no one dared to accuse Xu Xin of deliberately targeting anyone.

Indeed, because of this stance, Luo Tianyi had to apply the same standard when scoring other contestants.

As a result, the average scores of the contestants on this season of The Voice were generally lower. Ultimately it all stemmed from Lin Qiao’en’s initial target on Li Changlin, which led Luo Tianyi to reluctantly use originality as an excuse to support Li Changlin.

Finally, Xu Xin’s total score was 43.5 points, an average score of 8.7 points, which was quite good.

Xu Xin was also very satisfied with this. She understood she couldn’t influence Luo Tianyi’s decisions, which was an unfortunate circumstance.

Afterward, Xu Xin bowed and left the stage, and the audience sent her off with another round of warm applause.

Then Zhou Yufan and Zhang Yifei’s team members consecutively took the stage. Both of their scores were also passable, one with an average score of 8.5 and the other with an average score of 8.47; their performances were good, but it was a pity that their averages were dragged down due to Luo Tianyi’s lower ratings.

Fourth, it was Li Changlin’s turn to take the stage.

As the host announced the entrance of the popular cross-dressing star, the applause from below the stage burst forth, an even more popular response than Xu Xin’s, proving the audience was perceptive—no one was a fool.

This was Li Changlin’s third performance since the group matches, and moving from the top 32 to the top 16 was a crucial step. With Li Changlin’s talent, once he broke into the top 16, he would likely achieve even better results.

However, many people realized that the old spinster Lin Qiao’en seemed to have something against Li Changlin. It was unclear how much average score Li Changlin could obtain this time; hopefully, he wouldn’t lag too far behind the other contestants.

Li Changlin took to the stage, stepping out from the lift, and as he walked, he greeted the directors, judges, hosts, and audience in the studio.

Yang Fei still sat to the side, quietly conducting his live stream.

Due to The Voice being broadcast continuously for several sessions, Yang Fei’s image also appeared on the screens of various episodes. As such, many people were aware of this handsome guy’s identity and knew he was doing live broadcasts for The Voice. Therefore, a number of viewers even registered accounts on the brother platform, intending to watch the authentic live show.

Now, Yang Fei’s live streaming room had already reached the permission level for one million audience members. Although this permission was still far from his goal of The Red Pavilion, at least he had achieved half of his objective.

Li Changlin came to the center of the stage, and Lu Piaopiao and Wang Han stepped aside, yielding the stage to Li Changlin.

"Music." As usual, Li Changlin went straight to the point without any idle talk after getting on stage.

Instantly, the stage lights began to go out one by one, until only a cylindrical white beam of light remained, illuminating Li Changlin.

At this moment, the sound of musical instruments playing followed suit from behind the curtain.

"My god, the guzheng again!"

"Li Changlin is so amazing!"

"What song will he sing today?"

The sudden emergence of the guzheng made the audience below all start in unison.

Even Lin Qiao’en paused for a moment, her gaze complex as she stared at Li Changlin’s figure.

If possible, in fact, Lin Qiao’en did not want to suppress such a promising contestant. It’s just that she found herself in a predicament and could not easily back down now!

No matter for public or private reasons, Lin Qiao’en had no choice but to commit to her decision.

All of this, you can only blame yourself!

Lin Qiao’en thought regretfully in her heart.

The sound of the guzheng was extremely beautiful. A short prelude had already deeply captured everyone’s attention.

And at this moment, a line of dazzling fonts appeared on the announcement screen behind Li Changlin.

This was the name of the song. The reason it was said to be dazzling was that those few characters immediately let everyone know that Li Changlin’s performance was still going to be cross-dressing.

"The Woman Who is Easily Hurt."

Seeing these words, many couldn’t help but be stunned, feeling that Li Changlin was truly awesome. However, there were also quite a few men who felt extremely odd. Why were women easily hurt? Men struggle so much out in the world; was Li Changlin here to stand up for the ladies!

Regardless of whether they understood or not, the prelude to the song quickly passed, and Li Changlin lifted his hand, bringing the microphone to his mouth, and began to sing softly.

The night grows deeper as people increasingly become intoxicated. In this moment, how close we are.

Thoughts seem to be swaying as contradictions deepen.

To the heart that has been shattered before, allow you to gently draw near today.
