Entertainment: A song that brought his deceased wife back to life.

A collective sigh rippled through the audience.

It turned out to be the case.

It's not that feelings have faded, but rather that life is slowly slipping away.

That's too cruel.

Don't you even have the energy to reply to a message?

……

Cloud Top Heavenly Palace Villa.

Luo Qianyu felt terrible looking at the screen full of green bubbles on the TV.

She grabbed a cushion, buried her face in it, and let out a long wail.

"Aaaaaaah!"

"What do you mean, 'asleep'?!"

"What do you mean by 'brain nerve problems'?!"

"I was rushing to a gig, you idiot!"

Luo Qianyu remembered.

That year was the year she became a sensation with a fantasy drama.

Overnight, she went from an unknown newcomer to a top-tier actress.

The announcements came like snowflakes.

She can only sleep three hours a day.

They're either on an airplane or in a van.

My agent, Sister Hong, kept a close eye on my phone, so I didn't have a chance to take it.

Moreover, in order to maintain her single image at that time, she didn't even dare to take out her phone to reply to messages in public.

He could only sneakily reply to Xu Qing during the break in the bathroom.

"Xu Qing, I'm so sorry..."

Luo Qianyu felt a pang of sadness as she looked at Xu Qing's humble greetings on the screen.

"I was so busy at the time that I didn't even have time to eat."

Luo Qianyu stood up, her fingers unconsciously swiping across her phone screen—she had already looked at the recording address for "Rising Star" sent by her assistant at least ten times.

He threw on his clothes haphazardly.

……

The show scene.

Xu Qing was unaware of the truth.

He remained immersed in those powerless memories.

"I was immature back then."

Xu Qing gave a wry smile.

"I didn't know she was so sick."

"I noticed that she was replying to messages slower and with fewer and fewer words, and I was actually quite worried."

"I started to overthink."

"I thought she was disgusted by my poverty."

"I thought she had met someone better."

"even……"

Xu Qing paused, her voice trembling slightly.

"There was even one time when I couldn't hold back and lost my temper with her."

The big screen obligingly scrolled to the records from that day.

It was 2 a.m.

Xu Qing: [What exactly are you doing?]

Xu Qing: [Is it really that hard to reply to a message?]

Xu Qing: [If you don't want to talk anymore, you can just say so. There's no need for this passive-aggressive behavior.]

Xu Qing: [Let's break up.]

The moment these few lines were written, the scene erupted in uproar.

Xu Qing looked at those few lines of text, her eyes turning frighteningly red.

"I'm not human."

He cursed himself.

"She's desperately trying to survive over there."

"But here I am throwing a tantrum at her, accusing her of emotional abuse."

"I regretted it as soon as I posted it."

"But I can't bring myself to back down."

"I just stared at my phone screen, waiting for her reply."

"I thought she would be angry and would actually agree to break up."

Xu Qing took a deep breath and pointed to the big screen.

"And this is what she replied."

A voice message appeared on the screen.

It lasts only five seconds.

The staff member pressed the play button.

The studio fell silent instantly, with only the hissing of the electrical circuits.

Then, the familiar girl's voice came through.

But this time, the voice was completely different.

It's no longer the soft, sweet treat it used to be.

Instead, it was hoarse.

Extremely hoarse.

It sounds like my vocal cords have been severely sanded; just listening to it makes my throat hurt.

Moreover, his breathing was very weak and intermittent.

"Idiot... Xiao Qing..."

"You need to get some rest..."

"Stop staying up late... and stop writing..."

The audio playback has finished.

Immediately following was a screenshot of an Alipay transfer.

Amount: 3071.77 yuan.

The note read: "Buy some good food, don't skimp on money."

Xu Qing looked at that number, and finally couldn't hold back her tears, which slid down her cheeks.

"That was three in the morning."

She offered no explanation, no argument.

"She didn't even have the strength to type."

"She transferred more than three thousand yuan to me."

That was all her savings.

Xu Qing choked up.

"She told me that it was money she had saved up for her medicine."

"She said she knew I wouldn't accept it, so she just scanned the QR code I had sent her earlier."

"That voice..."

Xu Qing pointed at the voice message bar on the screen, her hand trembling.

"I later guessed that it was a symptom of severe dehydration after the surgery."

"His vocal cords were also severely swollen due to damage from the intubation."

"It hurts her to even speak."

"But even after she saw me say we should break up, she still forced herself to send me this voice message."

"She's trying to comfort me."

"Even though I'm already at my breaking point, they're still worried that I'll be unhealthy from staying up late."

The entire audience broke down in tears.

Ke Min took off her glasses and wiped her eyes, her eyes filled with heartache.

How deep must this love be?

That hoarse voice was like a tearjerker.

"Xu Qing, you're inhuman! How could you break up with me like that!"

"3071.77 yuan... with both odd and even amounts, it must be all my possessions."

In the control room, Wang Gang wiped away tears while looking at the data.

"It's surpassed 70 million!"

"This episode will go down in history!"

"Quick! Cut this part out and upload it as a short video right away!"

……

Inside the villa.

Luo Qianyu was no longer able to cry.

She stared blankly at the television, completely petrified.

"Operation?"

"Intubation?"

Luo Qianyu's lips twitched slightly.

She remembers that night.

That was the title track of her new album, which she was recording in the studio.

That producer is a pervert; he's obsessed with hitting the highest notes.

She was locked in the studio and recorded for a full ten hours.

To keep her voice in good condition, the producer didn't let her drink too much water.

By the end of the recording, her voice had completely cracked, and she was speaking like a broken gong.

When she came out and saw the breakup text message from Xu Qing, she was terrified.

I wanted to call and explain, but I was afraid my raspy voice would scare him, and I was also afraid he would realize I was in a recording studio.

I had no choice but to send a voice message, pretending that I had just woken up.

As for the 3071.77 yuan...

That was the spare change she saved from grabbing red envelopes on her secondary WeChat account, plus what she had left over after buying a few game skins.

"Xu Qing, it's a real shame your imagination isn't working as a screenwriter."

Luo Qianyu slumped helplessly on the sofa.

"I just sang all night, and my voice is hoarse!"

"What intubation?!"

"I'm strong enough to kill a bull, okay!"

But looking at Xu Qing's tears of regret on the screen...

Luo Qianyu felt another sharp pain in her heart.

She could sense Xu Qing's despair at that moment.

He truly believed she loved him with her life.

But she was just busy being a big star.

This misalignment filled Luo Qianyu with guilt.

"sorry……"

"If I had known you would think this way, I definitely wouldn't have become this lousy celebrity."

"I should go home and inherit the family fortune, and spend every day with you."
