Chapter 75
The 60,000-seat stadium, which had been filled with noise and excitement, suddenly fell into complete silence.
Everyone looked up, incredulously staring at the large screen ahead, carefully examining the familiar and beautiful face.
Su… Su Xingyao??????
After an extreme silence, a wave of noise erupted.
After a few seconds of confusion, the audience finally came to their senses and loudly shouted the name.
W е b̌ṅоv è ľ Е̄ ñūm̃ а
“Shit!!!! Su Xingyao!!!!”
“It’s actually Su! Xing! Yao!!”

“Oh my god, oh my god, I just saw Su Xingyao wearing a mascot costume in the contestant’s backstage lounge! He’s not the person I think he is, right????”
“Ahhhhhh, I didn’t see it wrong, right?! Oh my god, oh my god! Su Xingyao is actually the cat!!!”
“Ahhhhhhh, is Su Xingyao really that amazing!!”
Since the first episode of The Voice of Heaven aired and LostTide, whose identity remained a mystery, became a highly revered figure among the audience, people had speculated endlessly about his true identity.
Е́ n̊ ù m ӑ.îd
They thought that perhaps he was an incredibly powerful, hidden original artist, or a musical genius with an ordinary appearance but extraordinary talent.
Everyone knew he had many aliases, and each one, when accidentally revealed, was impressively powerful.
As a result, he had reached an almost god-like level of admiration among the audience.
No one had dared to imagine, however, that his true identity was Su Xingyao, who had been bashed all over the internet just two months ago, with many people calling for him to leave the entertainment industry. Even now, many still believed he was a failure in singing and dancing, with nothing to show for it except his variety show appearances.

Su Xingyao…
The variety show star everyone had been talking about…
Ê núm̄_а̂
Turned out to be the most mysterious and talented music genius, LostTide, who had brought everyone one spectacular stage performance after another!
The revelation of LostTide’s true identity, so sudden and unprepared for, shocked many to the point where their scalps tingled.
Some even couldn’t believe it and raised their hands to rub their eyes, trying to see more clearly.
But when they opened their eyes again, the footage on the stage had already been cut off by the director, who had realized what had happened.
The big screen went completely black.
The host, who had been informed of the live broadcast issue from backstage, froze and began trying to salvage the situation.

However, the 60,000-strong crowd in the stadium was beyond paying attention to anything else. All they could think about was one name.
Su Xingyao!
Online, major forums had already been flooded with posts about this event.
Any gossip forum or discussion group with traffic had their front pages filled with all sorts of titles discussing the matter.
【Ahhhhhhhh! I’m so stunned, I actually saw that the cat has the exact same face as Su Xingyao】
【You’re not stunned, it’s actually Su Xingyao】

【The cat is Su Xingyao??? Whether it’s true or not is really important to me!!】
【It’s true, true, true!!! I saw it with my own eyes just now!!!】

【Oh my god, I thought the cat’s true identity would be an unsolved mystery in the entertainment industry, but I didn’t expect it to be revealed so unexpectedly today! This truth is totally shocking!】
【Although it’s kind of dramatic, if this person is really Su Xingyao, it feels kind of reasonable. What’s going on?】
【Reasonable +1, to be honest, Su Xingyao is really impressive.】
【Wow, Su Xingyao!! So shocking! So exciting!! Turns out the cat has been right next to us all along, ahhh!】
W̆ ѐb n o v̄ еl̊ E n ů m а̇
The online reaction was one of astonishment and shock.
Many people who saw the moment the reveal happened were convinced that LostTide was definitely Su Xingyao.
However, this did not stop some skeptical people.
As long as LostTide hadn’t explicitly confirmed his identity as Su Xingyao, many still refused to believe it.

Feng Ling, who had just heavily criticized Su Xingyao as a variety show star online, also couldn’t believe it.
She felt like she had been hit with a hammer, her head spinning.
W̌е̊ ḃǹ o.v е̃l̄ Ёnŭ mа̀
After all, she couldn’t imagine that Su Xingyao, someone so far removed from her circle, could actually be… the same person?
Many people had the same reaction as Feng Ling after learning the truth.
Amid the screams of shock and excitement, many keyboard warriors started to question things, and Su Xingyao’s haters were also quick to jump in, trying to stir the pot.
【Just because he wore a mascot costume, it means he’s the cat? The production team hasn’t confirmed anything yet! Everyone’s so sure, but what if Su Xingyao is just a supporting actor or warming up the crowd? Aren’t you worried about looking foolish?】
【I’m a bit cynical, but what if Su Xingyao is just doing this for publicity? Don’t be surprised if they later say this reveal was a mistake, it would be hilarious.】
【Wait, can Su Xingyao actually sing? I’ve never heard of him before, why is everyone believing this so easily?】

【How could Su Xingyao be Su Xingyao??? Oh my god, my cat can’t possibly be him.】
【Su Xingyao doesn’t deserve to be with God L! Don’t mess with the big leagues!】
【If it really is Su Xingyao, then he’s too perfect, right? Does such an amazing person really exist? I don’t believe it! Unless Su Xingyao goes on stage without the headgear and sings a song at the same level as the cat, if he does, I’ll kneel and call him dad.】
Su Xingyao’s unexpected reveal caused a huge uproar online.
After the shock, more skepticism followed.
A small group of people who disliked Su Xingyao but liked LostTide became furious and started questioning Su Xingyao’s motives.
W е̇ b n о̂ v ѐl̇ Е n̊ u̇m̂ а̀
【So why did he always wear the headgear before? Was he just trying to create hype to gain fans?】
【As expected from an old pro, how to gain fans and play tricks on everyone, huh?】
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
【If it really is Su Xingyao, did he really keep us in suspense all this time in the competition just to mess with us?】
Shocked, doubtful, heartbroken, unable to believe, overjoyed, waiting to see the drama unfold, in denial and hoping for a lucky outcome…
For a moment, there were all kinds of voices online.
Each netizen had their own thoughts.
Ѐn̄u m̈ ӓ. і̇d̃
But no one could convince anyone else, and yet, they all did the same thing without exception—
They all quickly opened their TVs or streaming platforms to watch the live broadcast of The Voice of Heaven.
In an instant, countless people rushed into the show’s live stream room.
In just a few minutes, the number of online viewers on The Voice of Heaven‘s platform exceeded eighty million.

And this terrifying number of viewers continued to grow exponentially, increasing every second as the situation unfolded.
The technical staff at the live streaming platform, scared, quickly logged in to maintain network stability.
Ẇ е̌ bnоv̄е l̇ Ë nu ṁ а.
At the same time, the backstage of The Voice of Heaven was in complete chaos.
When Xiao Li discovered that Su Xingyao had been exposed by the camera in his room, she rushed anxiously to his rest area.
“Mr. Su! Mr. Su!”
Su Xingyao, who had just put on the panda headgear with the help of Lu Jiuxu, opened the door and saw Xiao Li, who was on the verge of tears.
Before Su Xingyao could speak, the young girl pointed to the camera in the room and told him the truth.
“The camera had some issues, and the footage of you not wearing the headgear was… accidentally…”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Broadcasted…”
Xiao Li struggled to finish her sentence, and just then, Su Xingyao’s phone rang.
It was his manager, Zhou Mengxue, calling.
After hearing Xiao Li’s words, Su Xingyao already guessed what Zhou Mengxue was about to say.
He looked at Xiao Li, whose eyes were red, and noticed that she had sweat on her face from running. He gently reassured her, “I know, don’t worry.”
He then handed her a tissue with a soft smile. “Thank you for telling me right away.”
W е b̊ nоv е l̆ Ӗnu.ṁа
Su Xingyao’s calmness immediately soothed Xiao Li’s previously anxious heart in that instant.
Seeing that Su Xingyao’s phone was ringing, she nodded at him, “Mr. Su… Good luck in the finals!”

After that, Xiao Li quickly shut the door to his rest area and stood outside, guarding it to prevent anyone else from disturbing him.
After Xiao Li left, Su Xingyao answered Zhou Mengxue’s call.
He had thought he would be scolded.
However, unexpectedly, Zhou Mengxue only said two things to him.
Еń ŭ m á
“Focus on the competition. I’ll vote for you right away.”
“Don’t worry about anything else. You have Lan Xing and me.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Xingyao noticed that Lu Jiuxu was looking at him.
He took off his headgear and said to him.

“Lu Jiuxu, I’ve actually been thinking about how to handle these two identities.”
Su Xingyao smiled, “But it seems I don’t need to worry about it anymore.”
Е n ǔm̀ a .ĩ_d̈
In the beginning, why did Su Xingyao wear the mascot costume to sing? Why did he hide his true identity behind the costume, away from the spotlight?
Lu Jiuxu understood all the reasons.
He nodded in understanding and gently gave Su Xingyao a hug.
His actions were tender, with his fingers loosely resting on the mascot costume, offering a gentle and affectionate embrace.
Just before letting go of him, Lu Jiuxu said firmly to Su Xingyao, “No matter which identity, you are the most shining you.”
He carefully helped Su Xingyao put the headgear back on, and, amidst the staff’s urging, Lu Jiuxu softly spoke.

“Xingyao, I’ll be waiting here for you.”
Su Xingyao smiled, “Alright.”
This time, when Su Xingyao left, many staff members were already standing at the door.
The moment he appeared, everyone’s gaze fell on him.
Song Yingming hurriedly rushed over.
Su Xingyao didn’t look at those eyes, instead, when he faced Song Yingming, who seemed to have a lot to say, he casually waved his hand as if nothing was wrong.
W еbnо v̊ êl Еn̆ ŭ m̂ а̇
Although they hadn’t communicated much directly, Song Yingming had always kept his secrets and secretly helped him in difficult situations.
The tacit understanding between them had long been unspoken.

Song Yingming understood his meaning and didn’t say much.
Without any prior publicity or groundwork, unexpectedly revealing his true identity, no one could predict what would happen next.
Perhaps netizens would think this was a carefully planned deception and publicity stunt between Su Xingyao and the program team.
At the slightest misstep, the reputations of both Su Xingyao and the show could be ruined.
W̆ e bn ò v́ e l Е̊ ń ùm а̂
But perhaps…
This would also be his moment to rise to fame.
Song Yingming smiled and patted Su Xingyao on the shoulder, his eyes kind and his tone gentle, “Enjoy the stage, Xingyao.”
Su Xingyao nodded, and after the round, plush panda mascot waved to everyone, he walked with steady steps, bravely heading toward the stage.

Xiao Li, seeing this, inexplicably felt like crying.
Good luck, Mr. Su.
Е́ń ûm ӓ
She silently cheered for Su Xingyao once again in her heart.
If only people hadn’t been so stubborn with their prejudice against him, he wouldn’t have had to hide behind the mascot costume to sing.
The number of people in the live stream room kept increasing. After the first two contestants finished their performances, everyone urged the production team to let Su Xingyao take the stage quickly.
【Ahhhh, it’s coming, Su Xingyao is coming!】
【Hurry up, I want to see the cat!】
【Is LostTide really Su Xingyao? Hurry up and confirm!】

【I already know the mascot is a panda, but I still want to know if it has a name.】
【I want to know what he’s performing tonight. The previous performances were so amazing. I can’t imagine what kind of trick or show he could do to top the previous stages.】
【Just one wish, since he’s already revealed himself, can he take off the headgear and sing?】
Although many people online were still struggling to accept that Su Xingyao was LostTide, everyone was still looking forward to his performance.
Finally, after everyone’s eager anticipation, the familiar panda mascot costume appeared on the rising stage, the same one that had appeared in the camera earlier.
【Aaaahhhhhh!】

【It’s here, it’s here!!!】
【It’s really the panda mascot costume!!!】

【Aaaahhh, panda mascot costume!!! Su Xingyao! Su Xingyao!!!】
When Su Xingyao appeared on stage in the panda mascot costume, the audience went wild, unable to calm down, all screaming excitedly for him.
Su Xingyao stood on the stage and gave a calm bow to everyone.
Usually a man of few words, he surprisingly spoke before performing this time.
Ěn̄ ũ m̀ а .īd̃
“Today’s mascot costume, it has a name too.”
Su Xingyao pointed at his costume and introduced it to everyone, “Her name is Nian Nian Panda.”
The familiar mechanical voice echoed throughout the stadium.
It was then that everyone noticed that when Su Xingyao spoke, he was still using a voice changer, just like before.

“There is someone very important to me, and she really loves pandas.”
“So tonight, I hope to dress up as her favorite panda.”
Е ńǔ mа . і̂ d̃
Su Xingyao spoke slowly, “And sing this song for her.”
After hearing Su Xingyao’s introduction, the live stream audience couldn’t help but get excited.
【Aaaahhh, so is he performing an original song tonight?】
【I have to admit, the panda mascot costume is really thoughtful tonight.】
【Is Nian Nian Panda referring to the ‘Nian’ from Su’s name?】
Although the overall comments were harmonious, there were still some people who took the opportunity to attack Su Xingyao.

【He’s already revealed himself, so why still use a voice changer? Su Xingyao, stop acting mysterious.】
【If he wants to speak like that, what’s it to you?】
【On stage, he is LostTide. He has always performed like this. Why criticize him for using a voice changer? Why didn’t anyone speak up before? Just because he’s Su Xingyao, everything he does is wrong?】
【Some people just can’t stand Su Xingyao doing well. If you can’t stand it, then leave and stop listening to his singing.】
The audience in the live stream was in heated debate, but at the concert venue, after Su Xingyao finished speaking, the lights gradually dimmed.
Eventually, on the vast stage, only a single beam of light gently shone on the top of the panda headpiece.

The person wearing the panda mascot costume lowered their head under the beam of light, holding the microphone with both hands, their attitude incredibly sincere.
The entire audience was moved by the atmosphere and naturally quieted down.

Everyone focused on Su Xingyao on stage, staring at his mascot costume, filled with anticipation, wondering what kind of song he would bring tonight.
Soon, a soft and lyrical melody played through the speakers.
Hearing the introduction, the audience was caught off guard.
【This intro… it feels a little sad.】
Wе̄b̄ ǹ.о̀v̇ el Еn u ḿ ӑ
【It feels kind of ordinary…】
【Shouldn’t the final performance be an upbeat song to get more votes?】
【What’s going on with Su Xingyao… This intro feels a bit flat. Compared to the previous performances, it doesn’t seem like the same level.】
【Has Su Xingyao’s skill dropped after becoming LostTide?】
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
【It’s just an intro, can we wait until the song is over to make a conclusion?】
Tonight, Su Xingyao performed an original song, and the intro was calm and simple.
W е b̊n̆.ӧ v е̃ĺ E ñu m а
Compared to the emotionally charged “Goodbye Yesterday” from the first episode, the sunny and energetic “Kissing Summer” from the second episode, and the dazzling and mysterious “Mist” from the previous one, this song’s arrangement seemed incredibly simple.
But just when the fans were starting to worry, they were instantly captivated by a voice as pure and clear as spring water.
“The first time I saw you
Wiping my face, telling me not to cry
A lollipop placed in my hand
In those hard times, you got yourself a younger brother”

Without complex melodies or elaborate arrangements, the simple, pure background music paired with Su Xingyao’s pure and clear voice brought the music back to its most simple and untainted form.
On the screen, the director also displayed the song’s title with a black-and-white halo effect.
“Sister”
Lyrics: LostTide

Its frail body blocks all the pain.
Even when crying, it quietly wipes away the tears.
Turning around, what it gives to its younger brother is a warm hug.
“Your hands are small but also so big.

In the dark night, holding a smaller hand without fear.
The fragile shoulders must support the entire family.
Even when tired, you smile and never fall.”
In the soft accompaniment, Su Xingyao’s voice is incredibly gentle.

The audience, whose hearts were once restless, gradually settled with each note.
【Is this a song for his sister?】

【So Su Xingyao has a sister?】
【This voice is so clear and soothing, it’s almost like he’s singing acapella!】
【Yes, this is practically acapella. Su Xingyao’s singing skills are really impressive.】
【This song is so gentle, but it feels oddly sad.】
【His sister must be gentle and strong.】
On stage, Su Xingyao closed his eyes, his mind filled with memories of the times spent with his sister, and through his song, he recounted their past.

“From toddling to relying on each other,
My understanding of the word ‘family’ all came from my sister.
Classmates all complain,
That their sisters are fierce,
But my sister,
Has always been delicate and gentle.

We made a pinky promise, and vowed to grow up together.”
Su Xingyao sang without using any fancy techniques. The simple, unadorned song was filled with sincere emotion.

Sincerity is always the most moving.
The audience below the stage had already been drawn into this delicate, heartfelt, and slightly melancholic emotion by his voice.
Though it was an original song they had never heard before,
It didn’t stop them from spontaneously lighting up their glow sticks, waving them along with the gentle melody, for Su Xingyao and his sister in the darkness.

All the audience were immersed in the warm, healing melody of the song.
Few noticed that the once clear sky had quietly become overcast.
Scattered raindrops suddenly began to fall, gently dripping one by one onto Su Xingyao’s mascot costume, like tears.
Before the audience had time to realize it was raining, the mood of the song’s lyrics subtly shifted.

“Now I can become the wall that protects you from harm,
But why can’t I see your clumsy magic tricks on your birthday anymore?

Why can’t I hear you say, ‘Brother, grow up quickly’?”
“I went to see your favorite pandas,
They’re fat, round, and carefree.
If you could see them,
You’d be so happy.”
Su Xingyao continued to quietly stand in place, singing with his usual gentle voice.

Though the melody sounded healing and tender, each word seemed to carry a bittersweet edge.
The rain began to grow heavier.
As the raindrops fell steadily across every corner of the venue, many people couldn’t hold back their emotions.
【Did his sister pass away?】
【This song is so heartfelt.】
【Turns out, you don’t need complicated arrangements to evoke such strong emotions.】

The gentle rain from the first half of the song turned into a steady downpour as Su Xingyao sang these lines.
One by one, the drops soaked his panda mascot costume.
On stage, the once cute panda became drenched, and even the ears drooped, soft and limp.
Seeing this, the fans couldn’t help but feel a lump in their throats.

The soaked costume was so heavy, and with the pouring rain, it was certain to affect his performance.
However, while everyone was worried for Su Xingyao, the person inside the costume seemed unfazed.
He picked up the microphone and slowly made his way down the flower path, step by step toward the edge of the stage.
He stretched out his right hand, like a child, determined to touch the stars in the distance.

“Sister,
I want to give you a call.
I want to ask, after someone leaves, do they really turn into stars?
When I look up, can I see you in the distant night sky?”

The torrential rain seemed to be conversing with Su Xingyao from afar.
With each question he asked, the rain poured even harder.
Su Xingyao’s mascot costume was completely drenched.
The heavy costume weighed him down, preventing him from taking another step forward.
The wet, limp panda stood halfway down the stage’s flower path, looking somewhat dispirited.
After standing still for a few seconds, Su Xingyao opened his palm, his gaze falling on the raindrops he gently cupped.
Е̊ n̊ ů ḿа̊ ..і̆ d̊
The song, drenched in rain, became even more sincere and intense.
The audience, not even bothering to put on the raincoats the production team had provided, raised their light sticks with determination.

The rain became the accompaniment to the singer’s performance, and the audience’s light sticks were the stars lighting up the darkness for him.
“Strong and pure girl,
My sister,
Are you doing okay?”

At this moment, the rain connected like a line, as if it were the gentle tears of his sister falling.
In this intersection of time and space, Su Xingyao’s phone call to his sister, which could not go through, was told through the song and connected by the rain.
At this moment, it felt as if the call had finally been made.
The sound of the rain, drop by drop, seemed like a response from his sister in heaven.

Su Xingyao looked up at the pouring rain, as droplets slid down the corners of his eyes.
He picked up the microphone and changed the last line of the lyrics.

“It’s raining.
Can you hear it?
Is it you?”
The heavy rain blurred the audience’s vision.
But through the downpour, they saw the person in the mascot costume on stage lift his hand and gently remove his headpiece.
It was as if time slowed to a standstill in that moment.

Under the headpiece, the familiar face slowly emerged into the public’s view.
The rain soaked his hair and eyelashes.
The singer, standing barefaced in the rain, shone brightly.
In that instant, the entire venue fell silent for a few seconds.
Then, the applause erupted.
Everyone witnessed it firsthand.
