The Rebirth of a Diva

The Rebirth of a Diva
Episode 136's



"I'm not gonna let him go. "Li Lei held her hand even tighter.


Xia Ling was furious and fought hard to escape her clutches but to no avail. Just as he was about to continue fighting, the crystal lights in the hall suddenly went out. His movements stopped and he raised his head. In front of him, a beam of light slowly appeared in the darkness and shone on the stage where the host stood. The low-pitched voice of the host rang through the hall. "Good night, ladies and gentlemen . Thank you for attending the last tribute of Diva Xia Ling: The Caged Butterfly Conference. ”


The hall soon became quiet.


Everyone held their breaths and anticipated what would happen.


Xia Ling realized that it was not the right decision to continue struggling to escape Li Lei's grip as she might cause an even greater commotion.


He was held back by Li Lei and could not move, so he listened to the host as he tirelessly continued his speech. He recalled his previous life and introduced the main theme of the song. Finally, he said, “Everyone must be very curious. Diva Xia Ling had died, and her voice was considered the pinnacle of poetic perfection. How was the previous producer, Mr. Feng Kun, recover the song? It will be revealed to everyone soon. ”


It must be something that everyone wants to know. The sound is very unique and has a wide vocal range. He can easily master many difficult tones that a layman is unlikely to imitate.


Who else could have sung the last important song after his death?


Xia Ling was also very curious herself, so she forgot that she was still angry with Li Lei. He calmed down and stared at the screen. He believed in Feng Kun's eyes for talent, he must have chosen the most suitable singer to perform the song. Who'sis that?


The lights on the stage started to change.


Then, cheers came from all directions.


Seeing the many light spots slowly appearing in the hall, he felt a hint of familiarity. Gold, silver, and purple. Slowly, all the light spots gathered together to form a very beautiful girl. The virtual figure of the girl quietly stood on the stage. She wore a pretty dress, a pink diamond bracelet, and gently held onto the microphone. Her head was slightly raised, showing a very pretty face. Her sharp eyes were filled with confidence like a queen ruling the world. One glance from him was enough to lure all living beings.


That was…


"Xia Ling ... That is Diva Xia Ling!"


Suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd.


Who would have thought that they would see the return of the Diva here? The conference used 3D holographic projection technology to make a perfect comeback for its final concert! In the sound coming from the surrounding stereo speakers, the cheers grew louder, and many people shouted in unison. “Encore! A repeat! The encores! "


It was the original audio recording of the day.


The reality of the concert happened again.


Xia Ling felt a little dizzy. He didn't expect it to be like this. For a moment, it was as if he had returned to that tall and huge stage and seen over a hundred thousand crazy fans below the stage. He said-


“Alright then, I'll sing the encore. ”


The voice seemed very realistic. It did not come from his memories but from the illusory projection on the stage. Music sounds in all directions. The introduction was psychedelic and low-pitched like a complicated flower fall that was sometimes loud and sad, and sometimes rather passionate. However, it was completely different from what happened that day. That day, she sang acapella, and there was no opening.


Xia Ling stood in the middle of the crowd and, like the other guests, was startled by the sudden introduction.


It was like a hot bath, with the splendor and luxury of Feng Kun's setting. It also strengthened her arrogance as a Queen who had held a position that many people could not reach for more than ten years. It was tragic like the fragmentation of a peony.


Everyone is fascinated. On the stage, the illusory projection that resembled her naturally began to sing …


If he hadn't met someone that year, would the ending have been different?


Every voice he heard knocked at his heart.


Xia Ling's face paled and it was hard to breathe. Before the song began, he had already thought of many possibilities and even joked about suspecting that Feng Kun was randomly searching for an unpopular singer to perform the song. However, he would never have guessed that the song would be made by mixing up the original singing voice.


The recording from the concert was much lower than the studio recording. The sound was very vague, and there were many gaps and distortions in the recording section.


However, it gives "The Caged Butterfly" the added effect of silent grief. It was as if an invisible huge hand was holding his heart and squeezing it. Dark memories of his past life flooded his mind. Unable to hold back his emotions, he managed to push Li Lei's hand with an inexplicable burst of energy and dashed out of the conference room.


On the way, he met many people, but he did not pay attention to them. He only stopped and became a little clear when he was under a large flower tree.


“Xiao Ling, are you okay?” Li Lei was chasing after him.


He supported himself by holding the old and speckled tree trunk and slowly crouched down. Pieces of his past kept flashing at him: a howling dog, a demon-like man with a blood-stained whip …


Under the pale moonlight, his face was so pale that it was terrifying.


Seeing that he was curled up into a ball, he bowed and hugged her gently. He had no idea what was happening, but he could feel her pain and fear, so he used the only way he could think of to give her a sense of security and comfort. That doesn't make any sense! It was clear that he didn't care about her. He did not react when he saw her with another woman, why couldn't he give up on her? Once he found out that he was injured, why did his heart hurt as well?


When he held the petite and tender body in his arms, Li Lei thought that this might be premeditated in this life.


His calm warmth and embrace slowly calmed Xia Ling down. However, as soon as he clearly saw who the person who was hugging him was, he reached out and tried to push him.


“Xiao Ling's. “Li Lei is a little worried and hurt.


Xia Ling gave him a confused look. There were still traces of Gu Lin's perfume on his body. He did not understand why he felt so calm in the arms of such a man when it was clear that he could not give the loyalty he wanted.


"Since you already have Gu Lin, why are you still looking for me?" His voice is a bit hoarse.


Li Lei was stunned. Suddenly, joy erupted from the bottom of his heart. "You jealous?"


Xia Ling was silent for a while before replying, “Yes, I am jealous. However, I will not persuade you to stay. Li Lei, I don't want to play jealousy with you in our relationship. If you have an unclear relationship with another woman, no matter how much I like you, I will still give up on you. ”


"You said you liked me?" Li Lei was very happy his voice was trembling slightly.


Xia Ling was silent. "Are you even listening to my main point?"


“Xiao Ling, I'm so glad you like me. "Li Lei hugged her tightly as she had always wanted. "This is the first time you've said you like me. I swear I'll never do anything to upset you again. I'll definitely keep my distance from other women and only allow you to be near me. ”


That's good . It seems like he still hears my main point. He thinks .


Xia Ling nodded and stood up. “Remember what you said, Li Lei. ”


The moonlight shone past the flower trees and sprinkled on his face. It was vague and beautiful, like a dream.


"I will never betray you," Li Lei said and raised his head to look at her. “Xiao Ling, what happened to you earlier? You suddenly ran out of the hall. Is something wrong?"
