Wei Li thought for a moment and changed the single rose emoji to a GIF of a large bouquet of roses.
He posted the message on Weibo with a smile, estimating that he would receive the reply he wanted in less than an hour.
Li Yiling has always paid close attention to his Weibo account, so it's impossible that she missed this Weibo post.
He believed in his own charm and in Li Yiling's love for him.
Wei Li was just about to leave Sina Weibo when he saw that some netizens had left comments.
He clicked on it casually.
You really are a scumbag! Are you trying to woo Xu Yanyu?
Don't even think about it; you can forget about having anything to do with Yan Yu.
【Pah! Don't think that just because you appreciate Yan Yu's singing and praised her voice, you can use the name of love to blackmail her!】
[You scumbag! I just think there's something wrong with how you sang "Lost Love".]
Everyone knows that Xu Yanyu and Gao Lichang have a good relationship, yet you insist on choosing Gao Lichang's song.
He even deliberately stood under the camera and acted like a lovesick fool while Xu Yanyu was singing.
...
Wei Li could no longer maintain his composure, and he shouted angrily, "I didn't! Why am I so unlucky!"
On the other side, Xu Yanyu smiled and left the comments section. Just as she was about to turn off her phone, she saw another trending topic.
"It's strange, I didn't see this trending topic before, how did it suddenly appear?"
Xu Yanyu stared at the newly trending topic on her phone, talking to herself.
[I'm begging Xu Yanyu to release an audio recording of "Floating Light"!]
Xu Yanyu clicked into the comments to read them.
[Yan Yu, did you see the trending topic we crowdfunded?]
[Hey production team, did you see the trending topic we crowdfunded?]
[Yan Yu, please have some decency! I beg you, you absolutely must release an audio version of "Floating Light," I'm really begging you!]
[The most tragic fan in history: their favorite singer only sings, never releases albums or high-resolution versions of their songs.]
[Haha, if you want to listen to Yan Yu's songs, you have to go to pirated websites. Legitimate platforms don't even have Yan Yu's copyrights.]
[Family members, I'm not picky, I'm okay with the live version too. Does anyone have the resources?]
...
Xu Yanyu covered her face in shame when she saw what was behind her.
She really should take some time to record a song.
Next week she needs to discuss a time with Director Wei to see if she can find a day to record all the songs that haven't been recorded before.
When Xu Yanyu left that trending topic again, wow, the number of comments suddenly jumped to several thousand.
She felt ashamed.
She scrolled through her phone for a while, when Xiaozhi suddenly shouted excitedly, "Teacher Xu, look at the big screen! It's Jin Xiumei's turn to come on stage!"
"Huh, is it Kim Soo-mi's turn yet? Then this competition is almost over." Xu Yanyu quickly put away her phone.
She still heard a lot from Gao Lichang about the challenges Kim Soo-mi faced in Goryeo.
She was also quite curious about what songs Kim Soo-mi could bring to everyone.
At that moment, a Mandarin song title appeared on the back of the big screen – "Purple Mist Sea".
"Ah, it's a Korean song! Kim Soo-mi isn't singing a Korean song, she's singing a Korean song!" Xiao Zhi exclaimed in surprise, pointing at the big screen.
Xu Yanyu also turned to look at Xiaozhi, "Does Jin Xiumei know the language of flowers?"
Xiao Zhi shook her head repeatedly, "She doesn't know the language of flowers. I heard it from a colleague on the show before."
"They really came prepared." Xu Yanyu sat up straight, her eyes fixed on the big screen.
She was curious to see how well Kim Soo-mi sang.
"Purple Mist Sea" is one of the more popular internet hits in China recently.
Xu Yanyu often came across this song while browsing Douyin, which is why she said that Kim Soo-mi came prepared.
As expected, the audience spontaneously applauded when the song title was announced.
Regardless of how well Kim Soo-mi sang, her song choice won the favor of many Korean audiences.
A somewhat melancholic accompaniment began to play, and the stage lights turned a pale purple, a thin layer of purple that seemed to drape the darkness in a veil.
At this moment, the sound of waves crashing like the sea arose, bringing the desolate atmosphere to its extreme.
Xu Yanyu leaned back on the sofa with great interest.
They even adapted the original song.
The arranger is amazing; he has the ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
They actually turned a catchy pop song into a masterpiece.
Just then, some rippling white light was cast from behind the purple light on the stage, simulating the effect of waves crashing.
Kim Soo-mi, wearing a purple seashell-patterned lace dress, walked out from the waves to the front.
She held the microphone and sang.
There lies a mysterious sea of purple mist, its colors dreamlike and enchanting.
[A mesmerizing, lingering mist drifts gently in.]
The waves lapped against the rhythm of my heart, and an ancient call echoed in the wind.
...
As soon as Kim Soo-mi's singing began, Xu Yanyu shook her head.
"What a waste of such a good arrangement."
Xiao Zhi, who was standing nearby, also said, "It's a bit strange. Why does her voice sound so ethereal today?"
Xu Yanyu tilted her head, listened for a few more sentences, and then said, "Because she couldn't immerse herself in the song, she didn't enjoy the stage at all."
I don't know if it was because she wasn't familiar with the language of flowers, or for some other reason, but her voice sounded too ethereal.
Kim Soo-mi's manager, who was standing below the stage, turned pale.
The company devised such a great plan for Kim Soo-mi, and spent a lot of money and favors to hire the most famous arranger before they agreed to let him adapt a low-class internet song from the Flower Kingdom.
The hope is that Kim Soo-mi can give these Koreans a shock on the Singer stage.
After all, the sincerity of the Koreans singing the national anthem, coupled with a cover that surpasses the original, should garner a lot of votes.
Kim Soo-mi performed very well during previous practice sessions.
Although Kim Soo-mi didn't know the language of flowers, she managed to memorize the pronunciation of each word by using phonetic symbols.
Everything was planned perfectly, except that Xu Yanyu went first.
Xu Yanyu's rendition of "Floating Light" caught Kim Soo-mi off guard.
While both songs focus on a nostalgic atmosphere, Xu Yanyu's "Floating Light" has a grander theme, ranging from the personal to the historical.
Kim Soo-mi's song is a little girl's reflection on love.
Kim Soo-mi was already going crazy before she even went on stage.
She kept saying that the song the company chose for her was wrong.
Her manager had prepared her mentally backstage, but Kim Soo-mi's performance was still too poor.
However, there is still a chance.
Kim Soo-mi's manager clenched her fists. Kim Soo-mi's forte is dancing.
Fortunately, we found a choreographer to create a short piece of music for "Purple Mist Sea".
Kim Soo-mi on stage seemed to realize that something was wrong with her.
She took a deep breath, waited until the choreography area, and began to sway her body to the rhythm of the music.
Her figure was graceful, and her slender hands moved as softly as seaweed.
The purple lights on the stage converged into a beam, all focused on her.
Xu Yanyu's fans in the audience were unhappy.
