The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 114

This song was originally sad and melancholy.

Nan XiangWan and Ge Dongxuan were dressed very fairy-like and beautifully.

The two looked at each other on stage, holding microphones and singing in harmony or backing vocals.

At the same time, the dance moves did not stop.

The two danced lightly, spinning, with the wide sleeves and hems of their dresses flying.

The whole scene was breathtakingly beautiful!

During this, Ge Dongxuan was unsteady on her feet, tottering.

But each time, she dodged Nan XiangWan's hands trying to hold her up.

The dance choreography had one rushing forward and one dodging.

In the end, she just couldn't be caught!

Nan XiangWan's voice began high-pitched and melancholy:

[If there is still a tender wanderer]

[The withered looks are hard to forget]

Finally at the 2 minute 30 second mark!

Ge Dongxuan fell to the ground again, her back to Nan XiangWan, her wide sleeves covering herself.

Nan XiangWan rushed forward, trying to pull her up.

Ge Dongxuan did a split on the spot!

She spun around, dodging Nan XiangWan.

As her body turned, her wide robes flew, and feathers fell.

The dance moves were beautiful, just like a fluttering butterfly.

Nan XiangWan was a little anxious, her hands spread open.

At the same time, she put force into her stance and jumped!

So -

What we saw on screen was like Nan XiangWan flying up!

With her hands spread open and the wide robes, along with the feathers, it looked just like...

Wings???

Nan XiangWan's jumping power was unmatched, she leapt high, high.

She spread her wings in midair, trying to pull Ge Dongxuan up.

It was like she was asking over and over:

Fly!

Why can't you fly anymore?

You can't fly anymore, I can carry you, give me your hand okay?

Okay?

But alas, Ge Dongxuan curved her back on the ground, moving up and down with the split dance moves.

Like someone heavily injured, being pulled up by their partner, but too injured to stand, so they can't be pulled up.

She hugged herself with both arms, as if...

Her wings were broken!

Nan XiangWan was so sad she couldn't pull her partner up, she was so, so sad.

Her voice wailed as she sang:

[Passing through the joy and sorrow of the mundane world]

[And your tender wanderings]

Finally at the climax after 4 minutes 30 seconds!

Ge Dongxuan unleashed a high difficulty dolphin call!

[Ah——]

This dolphin call sounded especially like a farewell.

The audience below had already started crying.

Crying so sadly!

The two sang so sadly, the dance moves were so good, it made people cry!

In the end, Nan XiangWan finished:

[If there is still a tender wanderer]

[The withered looks are hard to forget]

At 5 minutes 13 seconds, the song ended.

The singing was so sad, the dance so full of longing.

Through the whole process, Nan XiangWan tried to save Ge Dongxuan countless times, but couldn't save her.

In the end, Ge Dongxuan still collapsed to the ground in Nan XiangWan's wails, motionless.

Even at the last moment, Nan XiangWan still couldn't pull her partner up...

Below the stage.

Countless people started wiping their tears, some girls were crying so hard they were gasping for breath.

It was like they had truly seen a partner die!

Never to be seen again, never to fly again!

So heartbreaking ah ah ah!

And so.

Some fainted from the sorrow!

Too sad, too overwhelmed with emotion, they fainted.

It was too heart-wrenching, too visceral, too straightforward!

The audience simply couldn't handle the direct confrontation with death!

Host Guan Liangzhe clearly heard many people sobbing behind him, crying streams of tears.

It made him sad too.

Although, this performance was a bit different from what he had imagined!

Comments:

- Sob sob sob sob! I'm so sad!

- Really so sad! Watched crying! Listened crying!

- So heartbreaking, so anxious, Nan XiangWan kept trying to pull Ge Dongxuan up, but couldn't pull her up, and she died in the end! Sob sob sob!

- Cried to death! Cried to death!

- Didn't catch her once! Not even once! Watching your partner die before your eyes, really cried to death!

- But... you guys... are you really crying for two stone statues???

- You in front shut up! Don't disturb me crying!

- OMG hahaha! I wanted to say earlier, aren't these just two stone statues??? I knew it haha!

- Can't take it anymore! I was crying so hard, but you guys made me laugh until snot came out!

- Nan XiangWan, as expected of you!

- What fairy couple, they're stone statues!

- Although they're statues, it's still so heartbreaking ah ah ah! A pair of statues, the mother died, the father tried to make her fly, tried his hardest but couldn't lift her up! Sob sob sob!

- Sob sob sob! So sad, the statues died!

- Here it comes [Silly Couple].gif

- Here it comes [Divine Statue Maiden].gif

- Hey you guys which one is the original version??

...

The two animated GIFs were screenshot from the same scene.

The formal scene of Nan XiangWan flying up trying to pull up Ge Dongxuan but unable to.

The scene was absolutely beautiful, and also very poignant.

But [Silly Couple].gif had a filter applied, making the whole thing look especially hilarious!

[Divine Statue Maiden].gif was the original animated GIF, just looking beautiful on its own.

But Nan XiangWan's fans were not proper at all, so [Silly Couple].gif went viral!

And started flooding the comments.

At the director's table in the distance.

Gu Beihuai had just finished taking photos and was about to leave, when he turned around.

He saw Zhao Tiancheng crying streams of tears, overwhelmed with emotion.

Gu Beihuai: "..."

Zhao Tiancheng was so moved he was sobbing uncontrollably.

The infectious power of this performance was too great!

Gu Beihuai looked at him for a moment, then left.

And casually posted the photos he took to the group chat.

He wouldn't bother with anything else.

After the performance ended, Nan XiangWan and Ge Dongxuan went on stage.

In the meantime, Ge Dongxuan kept playing with her sleeve robes.

Fly! Fly!

Host Guan Liangzhe was quite sad originally, but seeing this he was speechless.

Weren't your wings broken?

Now looking at you waving them around energetically!

Guan Liangzhe: "Whose idea was this stage design?"

Nan XiangWan: "Mine."

Guan Liangzhe gave a thumbs up: "Do you know how many people you made faint from crying?"

Nan XiangWan was surprised: "How many?"

Just then, the camera panned over the audience below.

Stretchers carried out one after another.

Those girls really cried their hearts out, crying until they couldn't breathe, oxygen tanks didn't even help.

Who knows what they imagined, lying on stretchers sobbing and shouting 'don't go' 'please' 'give me your hand okay?' 'Okay?'.

Anyway, a whole bunch fainted from crying!

Nan XiangWan was confused, pulling Ge Dongxuan's sleeve: "Hey hey, don't cry, her wings aren't broken, it's fake, look."

Ge Dongxuan also waved her arms cooperatively.

Guan Liangzhe: "..."

The point is whether they're broken or not?

The point is real or fake?

The point is you two played a pair of statues okay!

So host Guan Liangzhe pulled them back to reality and asked: "How did it feel to play statues?"

Nan XiangWan: "Very suitable for me."

Ge Dongxuan: "First time playing a mother statue, not bad."
