From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

Su Qing nodded and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry the camera was only on me; I didn't tell you beforehand. If you mind..."

Before Su Qing could finish speaking, the lead singer waved his hand and interrupted her with a hearty laugh:

"It's okay, I don't mind at all. What's the name of your live stream? I'd like to join in and show my support."

The live stream room is called "Mountain Wilderness Goes to Sunshine".

I was the one who came up with this account name in the first place.

Su Qing asked me to help her think of a name. I looked at several options, but I immediately fell in love with this one.

The name contains characters from both our names, and it also fits our theme of outdoor road trips and venturing into distant places for freedom.

The lead singer immediately took out his phone and searched for the live stream ID.

After clicking through, he simply turned around and shouted loudly to all the tourists gathered in the square:

"Everyone here, let's all go into the live stream and give this young lady a thumbs up! Let's all boost the popularity! Welcome her to sing us another song!"

After his shout, most of the tourists at the scene took out their phones and flocked to the live broadcast room.

I watched as the number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed, breaking the three thousand mark in the blink of an eye.

Just then, a dazzling gift effect suddenly filled the entire live stream screen.

A mysterious guy with a level of 52 and nicknamed "English" gifted a Carnival!

I was completely stunned.

We have never met this guy, and he has never sent a single comment in the live stream.

The number of likes skyrocketed, the live stream's popularity was pushed higher and higher, and the number of online viewers kept jumping up.

Su Qing, with her free-spirited and outgoing personality, immediately picked up the microphone and spoke loudly:

"Alright! Then I'll perform another song for everyone here, JJ Lin's 'A Moment's Choice,' for all the friends in the studio and online!"

This time, the lead singer put down his guitar and moved to the keyboard to accompany her.

It must be admitted that this young man is multi-talented and has a sunny and handsome appearance.

As they stood side by side on the stage, a strange, bittersweet feeling welled up inside me.

I even had a feeling that the two of them looked surprisingly good together.

I've listened to JJ Lin's original version of the song countless times, but Su Qing's rendition has a unique flavor that belongs to her.

When the song reached its climax, the lyrics went: "Even if I am just a fleeting choice in your youth, a passerby in your life, I have experienced moments of emotion more deeply than anyone else."

Her high notes cracked slightly, but it was precisely this imperfection that gave her singing a more authentic and touching quality.

The audience was completely immersed in the song, waving their hands to the beat.

Strangers from all corners of the world, who had never met before, gathered here in the evening breeze of Lhasa.

The atmosphere was so wonderful it was indescribable.

As the song slowly came to a close, Su Qing raised her hand to tidy her hair, which had been ruffled by the evening breeze, and bowed deeply to everyone in the audience.

The audience chanted for an encore, and the live stream chat was flooded with comments. Countless fans requested songs, and some even sent virtual gifts like sports cars to reserve the next song.

The hype is at its peak right now, and if Su Qing continues singing, her popularity will definitely rise to another level.

I glanced at the number of viewers in the live stream, and it had unknowingly surpassed five thousand.

The current effect is very good. If Su Qing continues to sing, her popularity will definitely increase even more.

But compared to the surge in traffic, Su Qing's frail health is what worries me the most.

Without the slightest hesitation, I strode forward and walked directly to the microphone.

Without consulting Su Qing beforehand, he addressed all the tourists present:

"I'm so sorry! She hasn't been feeling well lately, so let's call it a day."

After I finished speaking, I turned to the lead singer next to me, bowed slightly, and thanked him: "Thank you for your accompaniment earlier. I'm sorry to have bothered you."

The lead singer smiled slightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you here for tourism?"

I didn't explain further, I just gave a soft "hmm".

Then he reached out and grabbed Su Qing's hand, leading her away from the noisy square.

Many tourists were still reluctant to leave, and the live stream was filled with protesting comments from fans.

No matter how much everyone tried to persuade her to stay, given Su Qing's current physical condition, she could not continue to suffer any longer.

Su Qing obediently let me lead her forward. After walking quite a distance, she suddenly laughed and turned to look at me:

"Lin Ye, did a lot of people enjoy listening to me sing just now?"

"Absolutely, almost everyone has become a fan of yours."

"How much has our live stream's viewership increased?"

I handed her the phone: "You'll understand once you look at the backend data yourself."

Su Qing took the phone, her eyes widening instantly, her face filled with disbelief, and she excitedly raised her voice:

"My God! So many people online! I was only expecting a maximum of two thousand, but it's almost six thousand people online at the same time!"

"You bet you did. You practically gave a free mini-concert."

Su Qing smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling. This was the most genuinely happy smile she had had in the past few days since she had been feeling unwell.

But after a few seconds, she sighed softly, her tone full of regret:

"I should have sung two more songs. It's such a rare opportunity to gain popularity, it's such a pity to end the broadcast like this."

My face darkened, and I looked at her sternly: "Can't you be more careful? Stop treating your body like a joke."

Su Qing pouted, her eyes darted around, and suddenly she looked at me with a smile:

"But then again, when you rushed onto the stage without saying a word and took me away, you were pretty manly."

I was both amused and exasperated by her words. I took out a cigarette, lit it, and continued walking towards the guesthouse while smoking.

Su Qing looked down and continued checking the earnings backend of the live stream when a gasp suddenly escaped her lips:

Wow! How come there are so many more notifications all of a sudden? Has someone been showering us with gifts?

"There was a level 52 player whose nickname was a string of English words who gifted us a Carnival."

"A guy with an English name? Class of '52?" Su Qing frowned. "I don't remember him!"

"I guess he just happened to be passing by and came across the live stream, heard you singing, and then sent you a gift on a whim."

Su Qing shrugged and didn't dwell on the matter of the mysterious older brother.

In a great mood, she put her phone back in her bag, turned to me, and said:

"I'm a little hungry. Let's go find a place to have some highland barbecue, have a few drinks, and then go back to our guesthouse for a good night's sleep."

I was stunned when I heard that, and looked at her in astonishment: "My dear lady, are you out of your mind? Your stomach has just gotten a little better, and you're already thinking about barbecue, but you're actually thinking about drinking alcohol?"

"The drinks were for you, I'll just have some water. I'll keep you company." She looked at me with a smile.

Seeing her radiant and joyful expression, I couldn't bear to spoil her mood, so I nodded in agreement.
