Chapter 16 Bone-chilling cold



Why hasn't Wen He been doing any live streams lately? Has she been dragged away by a client to film a variety show?

[Damn it, not being able to hear Wen He's new song feels like a million Wen Hes are crawling all over me!]

[Don't worry, I listen to Wen He's three songs on repeat every day, and I'm still not tired of them. Of course, it would be even better if there were new songs.]

Although Wen He's songs are all very healing and can bring salvation, I don't know if it's just me, but I always feel that there's a strange sadness hidden in his songs.

[Don't overthink it, everyone. Wen He is a big internet celebrity now, and he's definitely getting a lot of sponsors looking to collaborate with him. I bet he'll be pulling out all the stops soon!]

Even during the period when Wen He wasn't live streaming, his popularity remained high.

All three of his songs occupied the top five spots on the trending charts on major music platforms.

Wen He's fans even affectionately labeled him with all sorts of tags.

[Starting with 0 frames] [King of Healing Songs] [New God of Chinese Pop] [Depression Killer] [Dark Punisher] [Angel of Redemption]...

When Wen He's third song came out, everyone thought he would capitalize on his success, debut directly, and make a strong impact on the Chinese music scene.

The Chinese music scene was already bracing for an epic upheaval.

After all, with the quality of Wen He's songs, not to mention among newcomers, even veteran singers who have been in the industry for over a decade would be ashamed of their own abilities.

Whether it's the lyrics, the arrangement, or the singing skills, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Calling him a genius is no exaggeration.

This top-tier player suddenly stopped making any moves.

As for "Is she alright?", a long-time fan of Wen He, he's been going crazy these past few days with countless people coming to ask him about Wen He.

Left with no other choice, he also started live streaming, and the number of viewers in the live stream even reached tens of thousands!

“I don’t know what he’s been up to lately. I’ve messaged him privately, but he just told me he’s been a bit busy lately, without saying what he’s been busy with specifically.”

As he spoke, he took out another phone and showed his chat history with Wen He to the viewers in the live stream.

[Blogger, based on your understanding of Wen He, what do you think he's busy with?]

This comment caught the attention of the user "Is he alright?".

"To be honest, it's hard for me to guess. We don't actually know much about Wen He either."

"Before Wen He became a sensation, the topics we discussed were very limited; we were almost always the ones initiating the conversations."

“He almost never talks about his family. We’ve asked him, but he always deliberately avoids the topic.”

"If you ask me, I'm pessimistic. I feel like he's either busy cooperating with some big spender or something, but I don't know the specifics."

He expressed his opinion on "How is he?" during the live stream.

Some people agreed with his statement, while others remained optimistic.

I really can't understand what trouble Wen He could possibly have given her current popularity.

He can earn hundreds of thousands in a single short live stream. There shouldn't be many problems in the world that money can't solve, right?

The problem is, what could be more important than making money while lying down like this? Even if he runs out of inspiration, he can still make a fortune just by chatting on live streams. It's really a bit strange.

[Yeah, he's not a god. It's normal that he can't write an original song every day. The quality of these three songs alone is enough for him to live off for a lifetime. What's he busy with if he's not making money?]

Honestly, I'm not envious at all of Wen He making money. His three songs are of incredibly high quality, yet they're free on all platforms. That's truly generous.

Just then...

I suddenly received a pop-up message from Douyin asking, "Is she alright?"

[Your special follower, Wen He, posted an update. Go check it out!]

Upon seeing this notification, he was immediately startled and quickly clicked on it.

After confirming it was Wen He, he quickly shouted, "Wen He posted a video, go to his homepage!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately turned off the live stream.

Upon hearing this news, the viewers in the live stream couldn't sit still any longer and immediately clicked on Wen He's only video.

The video title is only two words long.

"seabed"

(Underwater - A durian)

The video footage appears to be taken at a bus stop.

Under the dim light, it was clear that it was raining.

Most importantly, this video has background music!

Let's take this into account in conjunction with the title.

This is definitely another original song by Wen He!

The background music of this song is very light and cold, giving people a sense of hopeless loneliness, as if they have been abandoned by the world.

This was completely different from Wen He's usual style, which made everyone feel a little uneasy.

Scattered moonlight pierced through the clouds.

"Hiding from the crowd~"

"Like scales spread across the sea~"

Wen He's voice was different from her usual gentle and warm one.

Instead, it is filled with fragmented sorrow.

In the scene...

Cars drove by one after another on a wide road.

A light rain, accompanied by a chilly wind, fell on the umbrellas of passersby.

Only Wen He sat at the bus stop, seemingly waiting for something.

It was as if he was hiding from everyone, wanting to go to the sea alone.

But……

Why go to the sea?

"The waves wet my white dress~"

"Trying to push you back~"

"The waves wash away the bloodstains~"

"I'm just hoping to warm your heart~"

Confusion, helplessness, despair, loneliness, sadness, depression, exhaustion...

All sorts of negative emotions came crashing down like a tsunami.

This feeling of despair and helplessness made everyone feel almost unable to breathe.

He went to the sea, heading towards death.

Even the icy waves were trying to push him back to shore, trying to save his life.

Why would Wen He suddenly sing such a song?

Is it a case of first downplaying and then elevating?

Just like before, surely a warm light will eventually come to save him?

The people, who were under immense pressure, were all longing for that ray of light.

However, what awaited them was...

But it was an even more sorrowful sound.

Listen to the depths of the sea~

Whose lament is guiding us?

"The soul sinks into silence."

No one will wake you up~

Upon hearing this, the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts was completely extinguished.

An overwhelming pain enveloped them.

An immense sorrow is sweeping them into the sea.

That place was cold, quiet, dark, and suffocating...

And the bottomless abyss at the bottom of the sea.

The despair expressed in the song made them feel a bone-chilling cold.
