No matter how noisy the surroundings were or how loud the voices, it couldn’t affect Si Sheng, nor could it cover up the voice he was always paying attention to.
So, even though Xu Sili only spoke softly and his voice was almost inaudible, Si Sheng heard it clearly.
He was slightly stunned before the corners of his lips curled up.
“Is it okay?”
Si Sheng sent his voice to Xu Sili’s ears. In response, the young man squeezed his hand even tighter.
“Go up to the center of the stage.”
In the glow of the glow sticks, the young man turned his head and smiled at him.
Si Sheng only felt that his heart was filled with a strange emotion.
But he still controlled himself. Just like that, he held the other person’s hand and disappeared from the spot.
In the real hall, after the host made the announcement, the audience cheered and everyone’s eyes focused on the stage.
“Snow Rowland? Is he the game character created based on Xu Sili?” Yang Lili leaned close to her companion’s ear and asked in a voice close to a yell.
She didn’t play Starry Sky Age. On the one hand, she couldn’t grab the equipment. On the other hand, she didn’t have much interest in the game and didn’t know much about Starry Sky Age. This time, she was pulled here by her best friend.
Her best friend was a player of Starry Sky Age and an avid fan. She had always wanted to pull Yang Lili into the game.
Yang Lili wasn’t interested in Starry Sky Age, but she knew about the character of Snow Roland since she had been a fan of Xu Sili for ten years.
However, she knew very well that this was just a character created to commemorate her idol. They had almost nothing in common except for their faces.
If Starry Sky Age wasn’t a game owned by Xu Sili’s family company, and it wasn’t a project invested in by Xu Sili during his lifetime and this was his will, she would’ve wanted to scold the game team for creating topics in order to suck his popularity. They didn’t even let go of a dead person.
However, it was also for this reason that her perception of Starry Sky Age was more or less affected.
If the game team hadn’t given out tickets to the party in the name of Xu Sili, and she, as a veteran fan, hadn’t gotten two for free, she wouldn’t have come.
After all, the game was aimed at young people and the party would probably only invite popular stars. However, she was nearly 30 years old and no longer paid as much attention to the entertainment industry as before. She didn’t know the current young stars.
She wasn’t in the mood at first, but then several familiar old songs were sung in a row. The singers on the stage were all superstars she had been crazy about when she was young, so this immediately perked her up.
These superstars were still in great shape and excellent condition. They were so awesome on stage that Yang Lili felt her trip wasn’t in vain.
Then when she heard the host say that Snow Roland was about to appear, she immediately understood the intention of the game team in inviting her and the old fans.
She wasn’t looking forward to it. Instead, she was a bit angry.
It was fine to create a game character using her idol’s image, but now they had to find someone who looked like Xu Sili to play this NPC?
If it was a tribute then pay a good tribute. What was the point of doing this? Did they think the old fans would be touched?
Yang Lili thought to herself. Then before she could finish, a figure suddenly appeared on stage that made her stunned.
After the host’s announcement, the lights in the venue dimmed. Only the glow sticks waving in the audience emitted a faint light, like stars in the night sky.
In such darkness, two figures suddenly appeared side by side in the center of the stage.
The only beam of light on the stage fell on them. The big screen also projected a close-up of the two people in real time.
The blond haired, blue-eyed man was wearing his signature military uniform. He had a solemn expression that was full of majesty. Once his eyes swept over them, the noise in the hall gradually quieted down.
The silver-haired young man standing shoulder to shoulder with him had a much gentler temperament. The corners of his lips were slightly curved. The faint smile was so beautiful and ethereal under the soft beam of light that people couldn’t help holding their breaths when they saw it.
Yang Lili stared blankly at the slightly thin figure on the stage, feeling that perhaps she was still in a dream.
Xu Sili also had silver hair when he was still a superstar. As a fan, Yang Lili would never forget it.
She looked at the silver-haired young man on the stage. Seeing the face that looked exactly the same as in her memory, she seemed to be back at the concert many years ago, and seemed to see the light that she had chased when she was young.
Over the past decade, she had encountered many sad things. Every time, she would listen to Xu Sili’s songs repeatedly and recall the idol who left the world too early.
Every time she thought of him, she had the courage to carry on.
When the bad news came that year, she and countless other girls cried and promised that they would live the rest of their lives well for him, taking a good look at the beautiful scenery of this world.
The person who passed away became the white moonlight in the hearts of countless people.
Now, their white moonlight seemed to have been resurrected!
Old fans like Yang Lili were all stunned, but most of the people who came to the scene were players of Starry Sky Age.
They saw His Majesty Snow and Marshal Si Sheng appear on the stage together. After the initial silence, cheers quickly broke out that were more enthusiastic and crazy than before.
CP fans were crazy, and even Little Rabbit, who made the proposal at the beginning, was stunned.
The game team was so popular. They really invited the two most popular NPCs in the game?
And…
The projection was so realistic! It didn’t feel like an image at all, but the real people.
Even the host was stunned. Wasn’t this process a bit wrong? Why did they go directly to the stage? In addition, was the lighting engineer so awesome? The light immediately followed them as soon as they appeared?
Of course, he didn’t know…
The soft light that appeared just right was actually created by Si Sheng. It was impossible for him to let others ignore Xu Sili, but he hadn’t expected the stage effect to be so good.
Xu Sili was excited to stand on the stage after a long time.
He couldn’t see the real scene, but this hall built in a completely realistic style made him feel like he had returned to the past for a moment.
Of course, he also remembered his current personality.
He spoke slowly. His voice wasn’t loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.
“Braves from another world, thank you for all your efforts and contributions to the Roland Empire!”
“On this special day, as the monarch of the Roland Empire and the strongest sound elementalist, I would like to dedicate a song to you all to commemorate the friendship between the Roland Empire and the braves!”
He recited the pre-designed lines as if he had really come to attend a grand event hosted by the braves. In the midst of the applause and cheers from the audience, a soft melody slowly played throughout the venue.
In the dark air above the venue, purple stars started to flicker and change.
Xu Sili had already let go of Si Sheng’s hand and the beam of light was completely focused on him. Si Sheng disappeared into the darkness, quietly guarding and watching him.
Everyone’s attention was on Xu Sili, and he sang in public for the first time since coming to this world.
The silver-haired young man’s voice was light and beautiful, like the sound of nature.
This was a slow song.
It was also a song by Xu Sili.
In the end, he chose to sing his own song at the moment when reality and the game intersected.
The audience had already fallen silent, mesmerized by his singing.
Yang Lili listened to his singing, tears in her eyes. She was reluctant to blink and stared greedily at the dreamlike stage.
She naturally remembered this song.
This was a song released by Xu Sili in the last year of his life. It captured the confusion, struggle, pain and despair of a heartbroken person, and it touched everyone’s hearts. Later, it became a must-order song in KTV for those who were heartbroken.
It was also one of the few relatively depressing songs among his songs.
It wasn’t until Xu Sili died unexpectedly and his illness was made public that everyone realized the song wasn’t about a broken heart, but about the attachment and unwillingness of a terminally ill person to life.
However, today she heard the song again and found that the feeling was completely different.
It was obviously the same voice and the same song, but she only felt…
It was so gentle.
It was as warm and abundant as the bright spring sunshine, full of love for life. It had a type of vitality that made people smile.
She couldn’t help crying, but she didn’t feel depressed. Instead, she felt happy and joyful.
Looking at the boy on the stage, it was like seeing the boy she once loved most, the idol who left unexpectedly, living a happy and beautiful life in another world.
Now, he came back to share the good news with them so that they wouldn’t be sad for him any longer.
Finally, Yang Lili couldn’t help singing along.
Xu Sili’s singing blended with the audience’s voices. The scene was completely mobilized and his ability to control the stage was no worse than the veteran superstars.
The people watching the live broadcast were going crazy and regretted that they weren’t there.
The players in the game hall had already started the recording mode. They kept zooming in to record this grand scene in its entirety.
As for the CP fans, they had already gone crazy.
The marshal might’ve disappeared into the darkness, but he was always looking at His Majesty Snow! How could that loving look be fake?
What they didn’t expect was that this was just the appetizer!
