Chapter 94 Who painted this world and then painted you and me?
The audience fell silent.
The prelude begins.
The simple guitar arpeggios are clear and clean, like the dripping spring water in the mountains at dawn, or the rustling sound of a breeze through the treetops.
When Wang Bo spoke, his voice was gentler and more composed than usual, carrying a sense of clarity that came from reflection.
A gentle evening breeze rustled the pine trees.
The sound of the wind chimes is like heavenly music.
Standing in the quiet of this city
Let all the noise fade away.
When the first sentence came out, everyone in front of the screen was stunned.
This melody... these lyrics...
Only the green mountains are hidden among the white clouds.
Butterflies flit freely through the clear stream
Look at the sunset blooming on the horizon.
A flock of birds flew westward.
The imagery is immediately striking.
Green mountains, white clouds, butterflies, clear streams, sunset glow, returning birds.
Simple imagery, yet it paints a vast and tranquil landscape painting.
Su Yiyi suddenly covered her mouth.
She remembered telling Wang Bo that day that Yu Ji's videos made her want to travel too.
At the time, Wang Bo simply replied calmly that going out for a walk was a good idea.
But later... he wrote this song.
This song features green mountains, white clouds, butterflies, clear streams, sunsets, and returning birds.
It contains everything she longs for.
Who painted this world?
I drew you and me again.
Let our world be colorful
During the chorus, Wang Bo's voice rose slightly, but he remained restrained.
It's not a love song, but it's more moving than a love song.
It speaks of heaven and earth, of fate, and of the unexpected beauty in life.
Su Yiyi's heart began to race.
He writes about heaven and earth, about you and me.
He wrote that makes our world colorful.
Is this... talking about her?
Or was she just imagining things?
Who made us cry?
Another surprise for us
Let us fall in love and meet like this.
In the second verse, Wang Bo's guitar adds a slight strumming, and the rhythm speeds up a bit, like the footsteps of a traveler.
The stage lighting changed with the music, from a single spotlight to a warm, soft, diffused yellow light, as if the afterglow of the setting sun was spreading across the earth.
The large screen in the background displayed dynamic landscape images: flowing clouds, swaying trees, fluttering butterflies, and shimmering streams... perfectly matching the singing.
In front of the screen, Zhou Yuji had forgotten to complain. She sat cross-legged on the carpet in the tent, her eyes fixed on the projection screen, muttering, "This little man, this visual sense, this artistic conception... I've never been this moved by real landscapes in the Western Regions..."
Su Xiaoxiao also fell silent. She looked at Wang Bo's focused profile on the screen and suddenly felt a gentle touch on something in her heart.
She remembered Wang Bo staying up all night in the recording studio writing songs, his words that "music must first be sincere," and his always clear eyes on stage.
This man... truly has the qualities to make someone's heart flutter.
"We always have to say goodbye"
Meeting and parting
Always on a long road
Upon hearing these lyrics, Su Yiyi finally couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.
She thought of the friends she had said goodbye to, the places she had been, and the times she had met and parted ways.
Isn't life just a long journey?
At that moment, someone used their song to depict the most beautiful scenery of her journey.
Only the green mountains are hidden among the white clouds.
Butterflies flit freely through the clear stream
Look at the sunset blooming on the horizon.
A flock of birds flew westward.
As the chorus repeats, Wang Bo's voice becomes even more engaged and warmer.
The guitar music flowed like a gentle stream, and the lighting technician cast a warm yellow light, making the entire stage seem as if it were bathed in the glow of the setting sun.
Wang Bo stood in the light, eyes closed, completely immersed in the performance.
The reactions of the audience were captured on camera—some people closed their eyes and nodded along with the rhythm, some covered their mouths with tears welling up in their eyes, and some put their hands together in front of their chests.
The scene of the man in his forties wiping away tears was given a three-second close-up.
The college girl's makeup was ruined by crying, and the camera was given two seconds to capture the moment.
The reactions of the contestants in the waiting area: Lin Xiaoya's mouth was agape, Zhao Chen clenched his fists, and Su Na's eyes were filled with shock.
Qin Xiao sat up straight, his gaze fixed on Wang Bo on the stage. His eyes held surprise, scrutiny, and finally, a complex sense of approval.
Li Xuan's face had gone from initial confidence to pale, and then to ashen.
He knew he had lost.
We lost completely.
As the last note faded, Wang Bo, slightly out of breath, bowed to the audience.
The entire room was silent for a full five seconds.
Then, applause erupted like a storm.
It wasn't just polite applause; it was genuine applause born from shock and emotion, lasting a full two minutes, though not much of it was edited into the final cut.
When the host came on stage, his eyes were a little red: "Wang Bo... this song... I don't have much to say, I just want to ask one question—where did the inspiration for this song come from?"
Wang Bo picked up the microphone, thought for a moment, and said, "It comes from life, and from everyone on the road... Life is like a journey. What matters is not the destination, but the scenery along the way and the mood with which you view it."
He put it simply, but everyone understood.
In front of the screen, Su Yiyi was already crying her eyes out.
She felt that every word Wang Bo said was a response to her statement, "I also want to travel."
What matters is the scenery along the way and the mood while enjoying it.
So he wrote this song to show her the most beautiful scenery on his journey.
So, is he using this method to accompany her on her trip?
Zhou Yuji let out a long sigh on the other end of the tablet: "Little Wang... you're trying to kill the other contestants."
Su Xiaoxiao wiped her eyes, her tone complicated: "This guy... always manages to surprise people."
She looked at her sister and saw that Su Yiyi was still crying, but the corners of her mouth were turned up.
That was a happy smile.
"Sis," Su Xiaoxiao asked softly, "Are you alright?"
Su Yiyi shook her head, her voice choked with emotion: "It's nothing, I just think this song... is so beautiful."
She didn't dare say the second half of the sentence—it was so beautiful it seemed to have been written just for her.
