Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

Apartment in the East Fourth Ring Road area.

Liu Yifei went home early tonight, which is unusual for her.

She usually goes to bed early, and her eyelids start to droop at 10:30.

But after washing up today...

Liu Yifei leaned against the headboard with her tablet in her arms, fighting off her sleepiness, and managed to stay awake until midnight.

Pulling the blanket up to my chest, the bedroom was dried out by the heating, and the light from the tablet screen shone on my face, making my eyes squint into slits.

But it just won't let go of the lock screen.

The time has reached 23:59.

She sat up a little straighter, her thumb hovering above the refresh button.

It's exactly twelve o'clock.

Data from the three major music platforms redirected simultaneously.

Fang Yu's music homepage popped up with two newly released songs right on time.

Northeast Folk Songs.

"Wishing My Brother a Happy Ending"

Liu Yifei stared at the screen for two seconds, then swiped her finger across it and clicked on "Brother Zhu".

Saving the best for last is her consistent habit.

The electronic drumbeats rang out.

Fang Yu's powerful "Brother Zhu!" poured directly into the earphones.

The image of the self-service restaurant in town that day immediately flashed into Liu Yifei's mind.

Fang Yu, disguised as a waiter, carried several plates of uneaten pork belly and solemnly delivered them to Tiger Brother's table.

Tiger initially felt very proud.

Later, when the video circulated, they realized they had been tricked by Fang Yu.

Enraged, he decided to lead his men to attack Kaoshantun.

That day, he even drew his Demon Slayer sword.

Fang Yu, on the other hand, casually set up the Bluetooth speaker and immediately said—

"Auspicious time and day, joy as swift as the wind!"

After the song finished playing, Liu Yifei went to the comments section.

I want to see what the public opinion is on this song that's practically a landslide.

It turned out that the front row was already occupied by old fans who had followed the live stream back then, all talking about the famous moments from that day.

[It's here! The official version of the iconic scene is finally here!]

[Who knows? I thought Brother Yu was going to get beaten to death by Brother Hu, but then he started wishing Brother Da a happy new year!]

I still remember how bravely the fairy sister pulled out her big cleaver!

Liu Yifei looked at the screen, her lips curving upwards involuntarily.

She typed a reply under the comment about the "big cleaver".

I didn't mean anything by carrying the knife; I just wanted to air it out in the sun so it wouldn't get moldy.

Once the comment was posted, the number of replies immediately skyrocketed.

【? ? ? 】

[The person in question is getting their comeuppance!]

[What the hell do you mean by being afraid of mold? In Mohe, where it's -30 degrees Celsius, you're telling me knives get moldy?]

[Hahaha! Fairy Sister, you've gone astray! This excuse would make any physics teacher want to punch you!]

[She's clearly just trying to protect her husband and is about to chop Tiger up! Stop trying to deny it!]

[Next time, Fairy Sister, just say you want a frozen pear, and we'll believe you.]

After reading these ridiculous comments, Liu Yifei tossed her tablet onto the blanket, snuggled into the covers, and laughed so hard her shoulders were shaking.

It rolled twice before stopping.

She sat up straight and took a breath.

Then I switched back to the main page and clicked on "Northeast Folk Songs".

The moment the intro started, the warm air in the bedroom seemed to be blocked by something.

The headphones were filled with the wind of the Greater Khingan Mountains, carrying snow particles, blowing down from the forest.

Images of Polaris Square flooded my mind.

The hundreds of large cauldrons had just been removed, and the audience below was packed with soldiers in overcoats; the white breaths of tens of thousands of people merged into a white mist.

Fang Yu stood under the spotlight and began to sing the first line.

"The plum blossoms in the coldest days of winter have turned the snow on the mountains red..."

Liu Yifei slid down the backrest slowly, her head sinking into the pillow.

She stopped looking at the screen, placed the tablet next to her pillow, and let the music flow out.

The snow that night.

light.

Hot Coke.

Military overcoat.

Everything, just like the melody, has returned.

Breathing gradually slowed down.

Before her eyelids completely slumped down, one last thought flashed through her mind.

I need to tell him tomorrow that the studio version sounds even better than the live version.

Then consciousness sank into darkness.

The tablet screen was still lit, and the music was still playing.

Fang Yu's voice echoed in the empty bedroom, round and round, until the screen automatically locked.

……

The next morning.

After fermenting overnight, "Northeast Folk Song" soared to seventh place on the hot song chart thanks to its overwhelming popularity.

This result was expected, but what truly surprised everyone was another song.

"Wishing My Brother a Happy Ending"

A down-to-earth shouting rap song carved out a bloody path in the midst of pop, rap, and love songs.

They squeezed into the top twenty, firmly holding onto the eighteenth position.

That morning, MCs from various short video platforms celebrated the Chinese New Year together.

A popular streamer with hundreds of thousands of followers projected a screenshot of the trending songs chart onto the background wall, wearing sunglasses and shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Brothers! From now on, if anyone says our rapping is lowbrow, just shove this screenshot in their face!"

"Master Fang Yu showed us through his actions that even a dirt road can be traversed!"

"Come on, everyone stand up! Let's pay homage to our ancestral master!"

The comments section below was flooded with messages.

[Grandmaster, please accept my bow!]

[The family tree of the rapping world is being revised tonight, and Fang Yu will be on the first page!]

[Fang Yu: I was just recording for fun, why are you guys starting a sect?]

Of course, "Brother Zhu" reaching number eighteen is already a historic achievement.

The further you go, the more difficult it becomes.

The rap genre is ultimately a niche one.

Short video platforms use it for memes, editing, and derivative works, maximizing its reach.

However, it is indeed difficult to get ordinary listeners to open music apps and play music on repeat every day.

Many of Fang Yu's fans are also accepting of this.

Eighteen is eighteen, that's already quite impressive.

[For a rapper to make it into the top 20, Brother Yu's actions are both a great service and a source of endless trouble.]

My dad has already set this song as his ringtone. Who understands my pain?

After the excitement subsided, everyone's attention returned to the rankings.

The current top ten includes Liu Yifei's "Right Now" and Hua Yu's song.

The remaining eight slots were all printed with Fang Yu's name.

Eight poems.

The screenshots of the rankings were wildly reposted by various marketing accounts, with increasingly outrageous headlines.

Fang Yu dominates eight of the top ten spots, marking a chart-topping moment for the Chinese music scene!

[“Northeast Folk Song” Debuts at Seventh Place; Fang Yu is Just Two Steps Away from Filling the Top Ten!]

[Liu Yifei replies to comments late at night, revealing behind-the-scenes moments of Fang Yu's new song!]

One o'clock in the afternoon.

Countless onlookers and fans have their eyes on the last two spots on the list.

"sweet".

Xiao Fang.

These two songs had been fluctuating between the top ten and the top twenty.

He's just two pieces of the puzzle away from achieving the feat of a Grand Slam in the top ten.

Netizens were completely outraged.

In Fang Yu's fan community, several of the most powerful fans started threads and sounded the horn for a general offensive.

[Family members, wake up! Get up and vote!]

[“Northeast Folk Songs” has stabilized, and “Brother Zhu” has gloriously completed its historical mission!]

[Everyone's now focused on "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" and "Xiao Fang"! Today, we're doing this for nothing more than to witness this ranking completely change hands!]

[A clean sweep of the top ten! A miracle unseen in the Chinese music scene for twenty years! Everyone's a winner—Go for it!]
