Springtime brings forth tender buds, and it takes many more days.

My childhood friend was sitting across from me.

But now that I think about it, everything has changed drastically.

When the song started, everyone in the audience was stunned. Zhou Zihao's voice was truly exceptionally beautiful, gentle and slow, yet magnetic.

However, it was somewhat different from Xu Fan's voice, as if he were playing the piano.

Yes, the singing was like playing the piano. When the beautiful little voice came out, everyone in the audience just thought it was so beautiful. The song that was playing was "Shutting Down". The song seemed simple, but when Zhou Zihao sang it, everyone in the audience thought it was beautiful.

The simple lyric "Old wind at the door" stunned everyone for a moment.

It's hard to tell whether the wind coming through the door is a fresh wind or an old wind. Some people say it's fresh, since the wind is constantly blowing and changing, so it must be fresh.

But this song uses the old wind, and the old wind remains unchanged, just like memories cannot be altered, and the feeling of it blowing on your face is still the same.

What's remarkable is that this old wind, blowing for so many years, remains unchanged.

Just like how I've loved you for so many years, and that love has never changed.

The seemingly simple lyrics made everyone frown and feel heartbroken.

Spring has arrived, and everything seems to be about to start anew. The grass, wheat, medicinal herbs, and trees at the door have begun to sprout new buds, which are lush and green and quite beautiful.

But how many days have passed during this time? It's like waiting for someone to arrive, and before you know it, so much time has gone by.

The correspondence between many years and many days is actually just a change in time, a reflection on waiting and emotions.

It's like stating a fact, or recounting an event: childhood friends, after so many years, meet again today and sit across from each other once more.

We talked about everything, discussing all sorts of things, and our laughter never stopped.

But now, when we talk about these things, when we talk about the little things from our childhood, we suddenly realize that everything has changed so much.

We thought life was good, and we thought our friends were still there.

But reality is unfortunate; whether we're together or not, the outcome is already clear.

However, I never said whether I liked it or not, which is the helplessness of this matter.

The singing continued, Zhou Zihao's expression was calm and indifferent, but his voice still drifted over slowly, attracting every listener.

Angels from heaven, fallen to earth.

She laughed at how pitiful people in this mortal world were.

A life full of vivid expressions is all about performance.

The cameo supporting characters secretly smile at the bittersweetness of life.

His voice is magnetic, yet it evokes a sense of sadness and helplessness.

Just like the first line of the second part of the verse, angels from heaven have fallen to earth.

Life is full of helplessness. Angels fly in the sky, and home is naturally in that distant angelic paradise, a place that everyone yearns for and loves.

But that lovely angel was left stranded on Earth, unable to find her way home.

She saw all the different aspects of this world and experienced its joys and sorrows.

She witnessed people coming and going, mountains collapsing and the earth splitting in this world. She saw the love, hate, and grudges of people, and finally realized that the people in this world were actually quite pitiful.

She understood that beautiful things are often lost, while pitiful people always fantasize that everything will be together and everything will be alright.

Life is full of helplessness and sadness.

Life always presents itself in various forms: love and hate, frowns and joy, anger and annoyance—all kinds of emotions are vividly yet tediously displayed everywhere.

In reality, everyone is putting on an act; they like you but are afraid you'll find out, so they pretend not to like you.

I don't love you because I'm afraid you'll worry, so I do my best to pretend that I still love you very much.

Humans are inherently hypocritical, and this hypocrisy is precisely what makes them so pitiful and helpless. The angel saw all of this clearly, which is why she understood the absurdity of this world even more.

Life is sometimes like a movie, where everyone is the protagonist of their own film, irreplaceable by others. But in other people's movie worlds, you are just a dispensable supporting character.

Meanwhile, those supporting characters who appear and disappear around us, playing minor roles, secretly laugh at all the helplessness they feel.

We occasionally take on professional roles, experiencing the helplessness and bittersweetness of life.

Zhou Zihao's voice was intermittent, but it really attracted a lot of attention. Even Xu Fan couldn't help but want to praise it, but he couldn't bear to interrupt such a beautiful song.

It has to be said that when Zhou Zihao's song came out, Xu Fan was vaguely reminded of his own early days, and there were some similarities. This does not mean that Zhou Zihao had a system like him.

But I must admit, this song is really good.

Zhou Zihao continued, his voice echoing through the air.

Let's just be ordinary people.

He loves money, loves having fun, and he loves her too.

So many years have passed, let's go home.

There are also elderly parents at home.

As the verse began, Xu Fan couldn't help but clap softly, but he didn't put his hands together.

Miss Su covered her mouth to express her liking; the lyrics were truly touching.

The line, "Just be an ordinary person, love money, love fun, and love her," truly shocked everyone present. Especially the slow, deliberate shout, which wasn't a roar but rather a low, unrestrained expression, or a calm yet resolute one.

The word "commoner" already carries a certain meaning and is favored by many folk song writers.

It must be said that when such a lyric appeared, it did attract a lot of attention.

The audience at the venue were already eagerly anticipating the performance, while online discussions were rife.

"This song is so good! And it really sounds like Fan Ge's song, that feeling, yes, I mean that feeling."

"I have to admit, this is the best song I've heard all night."

"Wow, this song is absolutely amazing! I love it! I'll just be a normal person, haha, I'm going to be a normal person too. I like what I like, I like money, I like having fun, and I like this too. What can you do about it?"

"Could it be that another Fan Ge is about to appear? This song is truly a classic."

===Chapter 597 Xu Fan Wants to Sing===

The second season of The Coming One has been running for over an hour.

In this rookie competition, the Duxiu track is about to select the last contestant to advance.

Meanwhile, the other tracks had already finished, so everyone watching The Coming One had entered the live stream room for Xu Fan's solo track.

Upon entering, one sees Zhou Zihao singing the line "Just be an ordinary person" to his heart's content.

When people learned that the song was called "Old Wind," many felt confused, thinking that perhaps "Common Man" would be a better title.

Regardless of what netizens say about the song, Zhou Zihao put his whole heart into it, just to sing it well. His voice slowly came through as he continued singing.

Let's just be ordinary people.

Carefree and occasionally silly.

Smile in front of someone you like.

This is the life I want, that's the answer.

As Zhou Zihao's voice slowly faded, the moment he stopped playing the guitar...

The entire internet cheered, and all the friends at the scene shouted and applauded in unison. The applause was like thunder, booming and resounding all around.

Even the host An Ran, who was hinting to the guest Su, and even the star mentor Xu Fan of the Duxiu track, were clapping enthusiastically. Everyone wanted to express their deep appreciation for his song in this simple way.

Both the melody and the lyrics of this song have garnered widespread recognition.

Online, countless people listened to this song and then subconsciously came to like Zhou Zihao as a person.

This person looks very ordinary, an unremarkable young man at first glance. He appears very nervous standing on the stage, but amidst his nervousness, he also displays a confidence that others lack.

He loves music, so it seems he deeply loves the music he enjoys.

It is precisely because of this possibility that he can sing such beautiful songs.

Hearing everyone's applause, Zhou Zihao couldn't help but bow quickly and say, "Thank you, thank you everyone."

Xu Fan said seriously, "I have to say, your song really amazed me. If you had sung this song earlier, you might have already advanced. You wouldn't be in the waiting list at all."

This is Xu Fan's recognition of Zhou Zihao's song, but from another perspective, it is also his recognition of Zhou Zihao as a person.

After saying that, Xu Fan added, "However, I can't give it to you directly now because there's another contestant who I think is equally excellent, so the final outcome depends on the result."

Xu Fan did not provide an answer, because there was indeed no answer at the moment.

Zhou Zihao bowed to express his gratitude and then left the stage.

The next contestant takes the stage, and the music begins.

Then, as the competition ended, Xu Fan looked at the contestant apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not saying you're not good enough, but rather, your song choice this time didn't fully showcase your abilities. However, I want to say that Zhou Zihao won against you tonight, so I can't give you this 666 advancement card."

After acknowledging the situation, Xu Fan calmed down and finally apologized.

It has to be said that this is the most official statement, but many people can accept it because they know and have heard the results.

Zhou Zihao's successful advancement was something everyone expected.

It was Zhou Zihao's song "Old Wind," sometimes called "Common Man," but whatever it was called, that song attracted a lot of people and naturally amassed a large fan base.

Immediately, the host announced the results of the fan vote.

The first place was none other than Zhong Yixuan, and the second place was none other than Zhou Zihao.

For Zhou Zihao, being speechless was the happiest thing. Zhou Zihao was so happy that he couldn't hide his excitement when he came backstage.

The first episode of The Coming One Season 2 is not over yet.

All the cameras returned to the center of the stage.

Xu Fan also returned to the Star Recommendation Seats. At that moment, Xiao Zihan and Yang Xiaomi were sitting next to Xu Fan.

Yang Xiaomi said, "In our beauty category, we have several singers whose talent is amazing, and they all sing incredibly well. You're all just waiting to admit defeat."

Xiao Zihan said from the side, "The competition hasn't even started yet, so how can we wait for the number of participants? Every contestant in our track is excellent. I believe their creative work and musical talent are also outstanding. In the end, we will definitely win."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "I think the most important thing is which contestants will end up on my team. I'm really looking forward to this clash. Next time, I think my teammates will show you that they are the real standout singers."
