"Um, well..."
"Actually, I know I'm a terrible singer. I always think my lyrics are great, but I can't get anyone's approval. Even my mom... thinks I'm not suited for singing."
"To be honest, it's really bad."
"Waaaaah, so it really is like that!!!"
Zhenzhu was completely devastated.
Tears, as big as beans, streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She cried out.
"Does that mean I'm really not suited to singing? Is there really no chance for my dream, which I've held onto since I was a child, to come true? Zhenzhu... is there really no chance for me to become an idol?"
“Cheer up, Pearl. You have to understand that no one succeeds easily. People without talent also have the right to pursue their dreams, but that also means they need to put in more effort and endure more criticism and rejection than those who are exceptionally talented.”
“Lorraine…”
"True success is always built step by step. When you feel like you can't hold on any longer, take a look back. You've already endured so many difficult days. If you give up now, all your previous efforts and perseverance will be in vain. Giving up is always the easiest thing to do, but perseverance is the hardest. That's why you see that the truly popular idols and superstars in this world are always just a handful, very few. Most people can't persevere and give up, but a few persevere, and that's why they succeed and become world-famous idols and superstars."
"But can I really do it?"
"How will you know it definitely won't work if you don't try?"
Lorraine turned to look at Pearl beside her and smiled.
Zhenzhu was deeply moved, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"But I've tried, I've tried countless times, and I've failed every time..."
"Let's try again then."
"So it still failed?"
"Then keep trying, keep trying until you truly succeed. You're still so young, you have plenty of capital to strive and make mistakes. Since you're determined that this is the most important dream in your life, then as long as you can achieve it, what does it matter how hard or tiring it is?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on, Lorraine, can you help me?"
"Haven't I already been helping you, Miss Zhenzhu?"
"And then what?"
"Um, this..."
"Will you always help me? Will you stay by Zhenzhu's side like this, supporting me, encouraging me, and inspiring me, until the day I truly achieve my life's dream?"
"I don't know, and I can't promise you anything, but I will come as soon as possible when you need me. Zhenzhu, actually, for me, no matter whether you can realize your dreams in the future, I only have one wish, which is that you can all be safe and healthy, live well, and enjoy your lives. That's enough. Whether you succeed or fail, as long as you are alive, those experiences will become a part of your wonderful lives, an important memory, and will propel you to keep moving forward."
Lorraine spoke at length.
However, what Zhenzhu heard from beginning to end was probably only one sentence: "When you need me, I will come as soon as possible."
Deeply intoxicated by this feeling of being cared for and cherished, Zhenzhu took his arm and rested her head on his shoulder.
At this moment, she...
With an endless sweet smile on her face, perhaps this was the answer she most longed to hear.
Thank you, Lorraine.
[As long as you're there, even the once distant dream of becoming an idol is within my reach.]
Zhenzhu also believes that she will truly succeed one day.
The future...it's truly something to look forward to.
Hehe~
