Chapter 447 The Flowers Can Move!
The television turned on with a sizzle.
However, what popped up on the screen wasn't an animated film, but a music program.
In the video, the contestant who was willing to transform into a dog in front of everyone to advance is learning with great enthusiasm, barking and jumping around on stage.
"Little puppy! Woof woof woof!"
The children, who had been absent-minded, surprisingly raised their heads and stared at the massive atavism scene on the screen, a bewildered smile appearing on their lips.
The teachers looked at each other, their hands, which were about to change the channel, frozen in mid-air.
"Alright, since the kids like it, let's watch this one first."
Teacher Zhang sighed:
"It seems like the previous seasons of 'The Voice of China' weren't very popular, but I heard that a contestant named Jiang Baizhi came this season and became incredibly popular online."
A teacher nearby chimed in:
"Jiang Baizhi! I've heard of her, and I'm even a fan!"
"Let's take a look at this one; it'll be nice for listening to music."
And the next few songs.
Some had deafeningly high notes, while others had melodious, operatic singing.
Although it sounds nice, it's too noisy and too far away for the children in the welfare home who have cognitive impairments or autism.
Just as the children were about to fall into a daze again, Teacher Zhang was about to point the remote control at the children's channel.
suddenly.
Just then, Hua Shao on the screen jolted awake, his voice booming:
"Next up! Please welcome our next contestant—Jiang Baizhi!"
"The category she drew was... nursery rhymes!"
After shouting this, Teacher Zhang paused for a moment and did not change the channel.
"Nursery rhymes? Are we going to sing nursery rhymes again?"
"Singing those funny children's songs from before would be fine too."
Not only Teacher Zhang, but also the other teachers who were worried about not being able to pay their water and electricity bills next month held their breath.
"Children's songs?"
Teacher Guo was stunned, staring at the song title displayed on the screen—"Lupin Flower"—her brows furrowing deeply.
"Have you guys heard this song before?"
"Never heard of that. Aren't all the nursery rhymes these days just 'dig, dig, dig'?"
Teacher Li, who was standing next to him, shook her head:
"Look at this name, it's quite elegant. I guess it's another original idea from this girl?"
"Bai Zhi is a good singer and a kind-hearted person."
As one teacher looked at the bright yellow light on the screen, as warm as the sun, their eyes inexplicably welled up with tears.
"I heard she raised 70 million at a gala."
"If only we kids could meet a few people like her."
When the question of "what to do next" came up, the teachers fell silent once again.
They watched Jiang Baizhi on TV.
She was lifting her skirt as she slowly walked to the microphone.
The camera zooms in.
On the television, Jiang Baizhi lowered her head slightly.
The pale yellow dress radiated a gentle, almost maternal glow under the dim fluorescent light.
At that moment, the light from the television seemed to penetrate the screen and shine into the dark classroom of the orphanage.
In the classroom of the welfare home.
All I saw was...
Xiao Jie, a severely autistic boy who had been picking at his nails in the corner and hadn't spoken for six months, suddenly froze when he saw Jiang Baizhi on the screen.
He slowly turned his head, and miraculously, a bright yellow light shone in his eyes, which had been empty and lifeless, like a stagnant pool.
next second.
The boy slowly raised his hand, his fingers trembling as he pointed at the television. His chapped lips moved, uttering a soft, fragmented sound:
"Flowers...flowers...they can move..."
The teacher next to him was stunned, his expression one of surprise.
He grabbed his colleague's arm, his voice trembling uncontrollably:
"Did you hear that? Xiao Jie spoke! He just said 'The flower can move!'"
My colleague, Teacher Li, was also stunned. She quickly knelt down, gently patted Xiao Jie's head, and softly guided him:
"Little Jie, that's not Hua Hua, that's a very pretty girl on TV."
Xiao Jie was stunned for a long time, staring blankly at the slightly trembling bow in Jiang Baizhi's hair on the screen.
He seemed to be struggling to search for something in his meager vocabulary, finally letting out a heavy breath and repeating in a low voice:
"It's my older sister... beautiful older sister."
That one word, "sister," brought tears to the eyes of all the teachers in the room.
And at this moment.
Not only the welfare home, but all the viewers across China watching the live broadcast and in front of their televisions were in a state of bewilderment.
[The song title is out: "Lupin Flower"! I checked, and this song isn't there! It's another original!]
Wait a minute! This isn't right! When I watched the trailer, I clearly heard a child's voice. I thought they'd invited a child prodigy to help out this episode! Where is that person?
[Where's the kid? Wang Dazhong, you old rascal, where did you hide the kid from the trailer? Did you sneak him inside that BBK e-reader?]
[I guess they haven't gone on stage yet? A sudden appearance is more surprising, right?]
The barrage of comments flew everywhere.
The whole internet is playing the "find the child" game.
However, most people believe that the child's voice was a synthesized accompaniment or a background sound recorded by Jiang Baizhi.
Kyoto TV control room.
Wang Dazhong stared at the ratings curve, watching it soar like crazy, his lighter almost smoking from pressing it so many times.
"Hide? I'll hide my ass!"
"Where did this child come from? It's her singing!!"
While netizens were still arguing in the comments whether it was "accompaniment" or "recording"
A clear, ethereal child's voice, as if it had cleansed the world, gently rose into the air.
"Ah—ah—"
"Every night I think of my mother's words~ glistening tears like lupine flowers!"
In that instant, the previously noisy barrage of comments disappeared.
【? ? ? ? 】
The singing has started, but where is the child? Why can't we see him?
Perhaps behind the scenes...
[Wait a minute! Why do I see Bai Zhi's lips moving?]
[What do you mean "moving"? It's not like it's lip-syncing... Holy crap, it's really moving!]
[Stop guessing, everyone. Do you think it's possible... that this voice is actually sung by the goddess Bai Zhi herself?]
