A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return
chapter-513

Xia Yu’s song ended.

During the curtain call, the audience erupted in applause.

No wonder she had the guts to challenge Vivian. It turned out that her live singing was very good now.

On the stage, the soft and weak Xia Yu looked like a painting in white. It was as if she were the Jiangnan beauty in her song which was endlessly charming and elegant.

The results of the live fan voting soon came out. Xia Yu won.

Although Vivian lost, she was a formidable competitor. She only smiled at Xia Yu. “I didn’t expect to lose in the first round. Those from Imperial Entertainment are really impressive.”

Xia Yu also said very politely, “You’re too kind.”

The host asked Vivian what she was feeling, and she responded rather regretfully, “Xia Yu is so amazing, I wonder how good her sister is. Sadly, I was born late and did not live in the same era as the Diva Xia Ling. Otherwise, I would really want to experience being on the same stage as her.”

Xia Yu almost could not maintain her gracefulness.

However, the host went along with it. “That’s true. A person like Xia Ling only appears once in a hundred years. However, you don’t need to have regrets. You and Xia Yu are already very good.”

Vivian had a very easygoing personality. She thanked the host for comforting her and waved at everyone before leaving.

However, Xia Yu’s heart was resentful. The host thought of her and Vivian as equals but thought her sister was of a higher and unattainable position. This made her feel… indignant.

Below the stage.

Xia Ling felt tired standing and rested all of her weight on Li Lei’s body. Li Lei had no regrets and eagerly hugged her waist as he acted as her pillow.

Xia Ling’s white hands pulled on his sleeves to get a comfortable position. “Let’s see how her second performance is. Just now, when the host mentioned her sister, she didn’t look so good—it may have affected her mood.” Today’s competition involved tag-team fighting. Since Xia Yu got on stage so early, the smallest flaw could amplify her weaknesses due to exhaustion.

Li Lei still appeared brainless. “Yes, you’re right.”

Xia Ling started to miss Ah Wei and Feng Kun again.

The next challenger was a veteran male singer called Shi Nan.

He had always been an evergreen singer. Although he never exploded in popularity, he never lacked behind. Right now, he smiled at Xia Yu. “Little sister, don’t cry if you lose.”

“We don’t know who will be the one crying yet.”

This time, the challenger sang first. Xia Yu used the time he sang to recompose herself. When it was her turn, she sang another sweet song called “Farewell Reedpipe.”

The crowd below the stage were once again captivated by her singing.

When the song ended, Xia Yu won again.

“She sounds amazing…”

“Xia Yu is really awesome…”

In the crowd, many fans were very emotional as they said, “No wonder she’s the Diva Xia Ling’s sister. In the past, her voice was not bad, but who would’ve thought that her live performances were so outstanding.”

“Exactly. She’s also beautiful. Not only does she sing well, based on her appearance alone, she will be able to get votes from many people.”

This was indeed something that Xia Yu benefited from. Her looks could be said to be the best among singers. Generally speaking, people who sang well rarely were attractive. However, the Xia sisters were fortunate as both of them were outstanding in both areas. Now that Xia Ling had passed away, even though her sister Xia Yu was not as attractive as her sister, in the world of good-looking celebrities in the entertainment industry, she stood out.

“Some people probably voted for Xia Yu because of her appearance.” Xia Ling mumbled to the clueless Li Lei. “However, something’s not quite right… She sang her live performances too perfectly—there are no flaws at all. Even when I…” She wanted to talk about herself in the past, but Li Lei was there, so she changed what she wanted to say. “Even when I was singing with Bai Murong on stage, I couldn’t sing so perfectly.”

Li Lei didn’t hear the flaw in her words and just accepted everything she said. He continued to be clueless and adhered to the attitude of being agreeable to whatever his future wife said. He continued to nod fervently.

Xia Ling was in tears and did not want to talk to him anymore.

The third round.

This time, Xia Ling was too lazy to predict the outcome. She directly took out her phone to record the song.

Xia Yu still won.

Xia Ling sent the recorded song to Wei Shaoyin with the message: [What do you think?]

[Xia Yu?] A few minutes later, Wei Shaoyin replied: [That’s not logical.]

Xia Ling finally laughed. Wei Shaoyin really knew her, and she felt more relaxed and happy talking to him than Boss. She assumed a more comfortable position in Boss’ arms. As she secretly criticized him, she continued to type on her phone. She even sent Feng Kun a video with a message.

[Did you give Xia Yu special training?]

Of course, it was impossible that Feng Kun gave Xia Yu special training.

He replied very quickly: [Heavenly Voice Music Festival? I’m there too. This isn’t like Xia Yu’s standard.]

Only musicians understood other musicians.

After hearing that he was here, Xia Ling was pleasantly surprised. She supported herself by pulling on Boss’ sleeve as she jumped to look for him in the crowd. As she was short, she could not see anyone after jumping for a long time.

Big Boss Li asked, “What are you doing?”

“Feng Kun is also here.” Xia Ling was still looking around. “Let’s go meet him.”

After hearing that it was someone from Imperial, Li Lei was initially unhappy. However, since Feng Kun helped him deliver food to Xiao Ling when she was pregnant, he didn’t treat him as an enemy anymore.

“How are you going to find him like this? Stupid.” Li Lei reproached. “Ask him where he is. We can find a place to meet him at.”

Xia Ling agreed and told Feng Kun to meet them next to a sculpture outside the ring of people.

Li Lei escorted her out of the crowd.

Feng Kun was wearing a casual gray outfit, and his hands were leisurely in his pockets looking very relaxed as he waited for them. Although he was a top producer in the industry, he was not a celebrity. He was not shockingly handsome like Li Lei or Wei Shaoyin and could go out frequently without covering up.

He quietly watched as the hooded couple run towards him and felt sympathetic towards them.

“Feng Kun! Feng Kun!” When she got near, Xia Ling let go of Boss’ hand and went up to give Feng Kun a big hug. Now that she had left Imperial to return to Skyart, she was bright and lively. Her true nature was restored in front of her old friend.

Feng Kun affectionately gave her a hug like an older brother.

However, when he lifted his head and looked across his shoulder, he saw Big Boss Li’s icy gaze ready to kill someone.
