FWTS Chapter 083 Collided with the Piano

Xuān Xuān's appearance at the scene was an unexpected surprise for Xianxian, as well as for the audience and several mentors. It was undoubtedly a highlight for the production team, providing both material and intrigue.

After Xuān Xuān's "interview," she returned to her seat in the audience, and Hua Shao began announcing the start of the voting.

The voting results came as no surprise—

"Challenge successful!"

Although the outcome was already anticipated, Hua Shao was still excited, "Success! Contestant Hou Muyun has become the first contestant on 'War of Music' to successfully complete three challenges, setting a record! Let's give him the warmest applause!"

Hou Muyun thanked the audience with a bow, appearing calm.

After seeing the voting results, Xianxian breathed a deep sigh of relief and gave Hou Muyun a hug, "I'm glad I chose to go second! If you had gone first, after watching your performance just now, I really don't know if I could have sung through smoothly!"

"Thank you, teacher," said Hou Muyun.

Xianxian snorted, "Just you wait, someone will deal with you!"

Hou Muyun scratched his head.

Xianxian returned to her seat at the mentors' desk, and Hua Shao turned to Hou Muyun, saying, "Next, it's time for your choice! Will you choose to continue the challenge or go directly to the concert for ten thousand people?"

At this point, Hua Shao naturally knew he was asking a redundant question, but the procedure had to be followed.

Before Hou Muyun could speak, the audience erupted in unison: "Continue!"

Hou Muyun smiled, "Of course, I'll continue!"

He had come here to clear the levels, so naturally, he would continue the challenge. Although the program script might require him to say a few more words, Hou Muyun felt it was a bit too artificial. Thus, he gave a straightforward answer.

Hua Shao said, "Please choose between Sister Ami and Shi Fifteen as the mentor you'll challenge next!"

On the mentors' desk, the combination of two, Xiao Yu, and Xianxian all appeared to be spectators, almost like they were ready to enjoy the show, just missing some sunflower seeds and small stools. Shi Fifteen and Ami, on the other hand, seemed nervous.

They had long seen through the situation and knew that Hou Muyun was coming on strong. Besides, the production team would surely coordinate with star-making to boost ratings. As long as Hou Muyun maintained this level of performance, sooner or later, they would all have to face him. But in the end, facing such a contestant who could bring surprises and shock at any time, there was bound to be pressure.

Hou Muyun didn't hesitate: "Teacher Shi, please enlighten me!"

Shi Fifteen stood up, "Finally, it's my turn!"

It was hard to tell if he was relieved or tense.

Ami seemed relieved, but then exclaimed, "Why isn't it me!"

Xianxian laughed, "Obviously, they're saving you for last, to be the final boss!"

Undoubtedly, this voiced what was in Hou Muyun's mind. Regardless of whether it was vocal skills or talent, each of the five mentors was outstanding in their own right, and it was hard to say who was necessarily stronger than the other. But in terms of status, Ami was definitely the highest.

Shi Fifteen began selecting a song.

It was hard to say if it was a coincidence, but the randomly selected song turned out to be "She Came to Listen to My Concert" by the Song God.

After selecting the song, recording paused, and Shi Fifteen and Hou Muyun began preparing for the third round of singing. The other four mentors left the stage to chat with Xuān Xuān, then went backstage to rest together. Hou Muyun also returned to the contestant area to relax and closed his eyes to rest, thinking about the next song he would be singing.

The audience at the scene either went to the restroom or chatted. Although the recording time was already quite long, everyone was still excited, eager to share everything that happened here on social media, but unfortunately, they had all signed confidentiality agreements and couldn't disclose anything casually.

Over an hour later, the recording for the third round of the eighth episode began.

This time, Hou Muyun was still the second to perform.

Shi Fifteen took the stage.

Hou Muyun saw him walk to the stage and sit down beside a piano, and couldn't help but pause, collided with the piano... well, collided with the piano it was!

Shi Fifteen sat down, placing his hands on the piano keys, and the melody flowed as his fingertips brushed over them.

Self-accompaniment!

The audience at the scene all perked up, seeing Hou Muyun continuing to play and sing by himself, and finally, even the star mentors made their move.

"She came to listen to my concert,

At the first date of seventeen years old's first love.

The boy queued all night for her,

Half a year's savings bought a pair of tickets.

I sang, and she was intoxicated; I sang, and she was heartbroken,

Three years of affection, returned with just one letter."

This song tells the story of a woman's love and hate experienced at different stages of life, from seventeen to forty-something, from innocence to maturity, from youth to middle age. Eventually, she understood the preciousness of love in life, learned to love and cherish, which struck a deep chord with many people, resonating deeply.

The gentle melody and moving plot are very easy to impress people, and Shi Fifteen's heartfelt singing is worth savoring. Shi Fifteen's vocal skills go without saying, widely recognized in the industry, and this song happens to be his specialty—romantic ballads. He sings it with great delicacy and depth, touching hearts with every nuance of emotion!

Sweet and pure love at seventeen, fulfilling happiness at twenty-five, unwavering love at thirty-three... Each stage of life can be felt through Shi Fifteen's singing, deeply captivating.

Shi Fifteen's performance invites people to quiet down and immerse themselves, soothing their souls, allowing them to feel deeply. Of course, many people also hear Shi Fifteen's own emotions in this song. Perhaps it's gossip, perhaps it's overthinking, but to many viewers, perhaps this song, especially its title, holds a special meaning and emotion for Shi Fifteen himself. And because of this, it becomes even more moving!

As the song ends, everyone sees Shi Fifteen take a deep breath, clearly having sung with deep emotion. Then, Shi Fifteen reveals a brilliant smile, stands up, and bows in gratitude!

Applause erupts like thunder!

Hua Shao says, "Please switch positions with the mentors and contestants!"

Shi Fifteen walks to Hou Muyun's position, and they exchange handshakes and hugs.

The stage crew begins to rearrange the stage, but many people notice that the piano on stage hasn't been moved.

With everything set, Hou Muyun takes the stage. Everyone watches as he walks to the piano and sits down!

The audience and mentors are stunned, then erupt in shock!

"What's going on?"

"Is he going to play the piano too?"

"He knows how to play the piano?"

"Is this for real?"

"We've been watching Monkey's livestream for so long, and he's never mentioned playing the piano!"

"Damn it! After showing off the erhu and guitar, now he's going to show off the piano? Did I come to the wrong place? Is this Monkey's livestream?"

"New skill! Monkey's showing off a new skill!"

"Whenever he shows off a new skill on the livestream, everyone thinks it's unreliable, but then they're all amazed after he shows it!"

"Shi Fifteen just sang and played the piano himself, now Monkey wants to do the same? And they're both playing the piano!"

"Stirring up trouble, definitely stirring up trouble!"

The mentors look at each other, surprised that Hou Muyun is going to play the piano. After seeing Hou Muyun's skills on the erhu and guitar, they already suspected that his piano skills would be impressive. But the more they thought about it, the more surprised they were!

Erhu, playing at a professional level, was acceptable, even though Hou Muyun was relatively young.

Guitar, also played at a professional level, already shocked them, but they could still accept it. He's a genius after all!

But, if he's also a professional-level pianist, they felt like they were going crazy!

"Do you think he'll sing Shi Fifteen's songs?"

"Will he play Shi Fifteen's songs on the piano?"

"Many of Shi Fifteen's songs are suitable for self-accompaniment on the piano, and they're all very beautiful love songs!"

"I think it's possible! After singing two rock songs earlier, I guess he'll switch to love songs this time!"

"Yeah, last time he sang three different styles of songs in a row, and the love songs were very well sung."

"Um, do you think he'll sing three similar styles of songs this time? Taking rock to the end?!"

"But how can you rock on the piano?"

"If you can rock on the erhu, why not on the piano?"

"Who knows! This guy never plays by the rules! We probably can't guess!"

Shi Fifteen is also clearly puzzled!

At this moment, Hou Muyun sits at the piano, gesturing to Liu Zhuo in the band that he's ready.

Liu Zhuo nods and walks to the front of the orchestra, holding a conductor's baton.

At the same time, a group of people walks onto the stage, lining up in rows, obviously a choir.

"This lineup, what's going on?!"
