Chapter 656: Chapter 622: An Epic Level Awkward Situation_1

Although the agent had a record of poisoning the milk, Jack thought about it carefully and felt that it wouldn’t be a much of a problem.

Lately on the internet, people have been saying that Han people lost to Xian Yu because of their niche English song.

Jack agreed with this statement.

In the Five United Continents, English music was indeed a bit niche.

However…

Claiming that Han music lost to Xian Yu because of the niche English song market would be a petty excuse.

Jack understood this as well.

Even if English songs weren’t niche, he would still lose, but at least the loss wouldn’t be so humiliating.

Of course, Jack would never admit this publicly.

He was trying to portray the reason for Han music losing to Xian Yu as solely due to the niche English song market.

Surprisingly, Xian Yu suddenly wanted to put out an English song too!

That crossed Jack’s bottom line!

Losing to Xian Yu was something Jack could reluctantly accept, as Xian Yu wrote Mandarin songs that had a larger audience.

But if Xian Yu was also writing an English song, Jack absolutely couldn’t lose!

If he lost, the dignity of Han music would be completely swept away!

If they lost this time, they couldn’t continue using the excuse of English songs being too niche, could they?

After all, Xian Yu’s new release was also an English song!

Therefore, Jack had another solid reason not to lose to Xian Yu!

In the words of Han netizens, what qualifications does Xian Yu have to win?

He had never written an English song before!

So…

Just like that night five days ago…

Jack and his agent were again waiting in front of the computer well ahead of time.

“It’s time!”

“Log in!”

When eight o’clock struck, the agent suddenly roared, startling Jack.

What are you shouting about?

Immediately afterwards, Jack felt like something was wrong.

Five days ago, didn’t his agent say the same thing?

“At least change the line you say!”

Jack glared at his agent and retorted.

How inauspicious!

I damn near thought I had dreamed myself back to five days ago!

Everything this agent was saying was identical to what he said five days ago!

The agent sheepishly said, “Then log in, it’s time.”

Jack: “…”

Jack couldn’t be bothered to argue with his agent any further and directly opened up the music player.

The front-page promotion was Xian Yu’s new song “Take me to your heart.”

Without any hesitation…

Jack clicked play.

In the room, a familiar prelude resonated.

Jack suddenly stood up!

“Did I time travel?”

He stared at his agent: “What’s the date today?”

His agent looked confused: “February 4.”

Jack listened to the music’s prelude:

“Isn’t this still ‘Farewell Kiss’?”

Over the past few days, Jack had listened to ‘Farewell Kiss’ quite a few dozens of times.

Even if this song turned into dust, he could still recognize it!

Even if the Heavenly Father himself came down, Jack could guarantee it:

Xian Yu’s so-called English song was ‘Farewell Kiss’!

The agent listened carefully, it did seem like it was the prelude to ‘Farewell Kiss’.

“Is there a system malfunction?”

Jack suspected that there was a bug in the player’s backend.

Just then…

The singing in the song suddenly began:

“hiding from the rain and snow

trying to forget but i won’t let go

looking at a crowded street

listening to my own heart beat

…”

Indeed, it followed the melody of ‘Farewell Kiss’.

But the singer, Chen Zhiyu, was clearly singing in English!

“Hiding in the rain and snow, trying desperately to forget, yet powerless. How could I just leave like this, gazing at the bustling streets but only able to hear my own heartbeat…”

You don’t need to look at the lyric translation.

Jack and his manager can understand every lyric, their minds automatically realizing the simultaneous translation.

The room falls silent.

The manager and Jack lock eyes, their faces freezing simultaneously.

This moment.

It seems like they’ve been transported back to five days ago.

Jack’s mentality, collapses again.

This manager is truly a jinx!

He suddenly shouts, “Damn Xianyu!”

The manager’s mental state also breaks down, likewise yelled, “What kind of English song is this? It’s just the English version of “Farewell Kiss”!”

Jack lost to “Farewell Kiss”.

It has nothing to do with the language used in the song, but with the melody of “Farewell Kiss”.

This song had already defeated Jack and the entire Han Continent with its melody!

And at this moment, even though it’s under the name of an English version, the tune is still that of “Farewell Kiss”!

The iconic melody that caused the downfall of Hans Continent’s music scene!

Even…

Because this time the performance is in English, Jack understands the subtleties of this song better than anyone else.

It’s not just the lyrics that have been translated into another language.

Compared to the Mandarin version, Chen Zhiyu’s performance of the English version is less sorrowful, but more affectionate.

Velvety.

Intoxicating.

The depth of this sentiment, instantly penetrates Jack’s heart.

Jack’s mental state, shatters into pieces like broken glass.

Tiny, tiny pieces.

This time, Jack can no longer use the barrier of language to explain his failure.

Because “Farewell Kiss” has now magically transformed into an English song.

On the list of English songs for the February season, it’s clear just how much superior it is in comparison to the native English songs of the Han Continent!

The song continues.

But Jack returns to his chair, a somewhat lost look in his eyes.

The manager on the side stays silent.

Because he feels a stronger connection to this English song.

The manager even thinks that the English version of “Farewell Kiss” sounds better than the original Mandarin version!

If the manager himself believes this, what would the other people of the Han Continent think?

The answer is obvious.

All of the Han people who heard “Take Me to Your Heart” fell silent just like the manager.

They never would have expected it!

When “Farewell Kiss” is performed in English, it turns out the song actually sounds better than the Han people originally thought it did.

But why does it have to be “Farewell Kiss”?

You could have covered another song!

With any other song, our previous objections might have some room for reconsideration, but it turns out to be “Farewell Kiss”!

It’s exactly the same song!

It’s exactly the song that we once criticized as winning over Han people due to the popularity of Mandarin!

This is embarrassing.

Very embarrassing.

Later, Blue Star rated this as one of the “Five Epic Embarrassing Moments”. This was even regarded as the originator of Epic Embarrassing Moments!

Before this.

No one has ever managed to embarrass an entire continent’s population like this, causing countless Han people to collectively close off from the world!

Xianyu did it.

He did it in such an easy way.

Nobody expected Xianyu to slap the Han people in the face with the English version of “Farewell Kiss”!

Slap!

This slap was resounding enough to shake this mess apart.

No Han person would deny how great the English song “Take Me to Your Heart” is.

Not only would that be insulting the intelligence of the netizens from the other continents, it would be an insult to Han’s native music!

If they deny Xianyu, it’s almost the same as denying themselves!

So, with this move, Xianyu is set to leave the Han people speechless!

In the field that Han people are most familiar with, he defeated Han Continent’s music using the very method Han people excel at…

At this moment.

Four Continents: Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan fell into chaos!
