The former musical prodigy performed a miracle again, surprisingly performing Khrutaf’s piece “Flowing Water” in its entirety and completely reversing people’s impressions about it.

This brought Xiang Chenyu’s name back into the public eye, and many people couldn’t help but bring up his childhood experiences.

The media also caught wind of it. They waited until the preliminary round was over and Xiang Chenyu was still packing up in the lounge to intercept him.

“May I ask you what kind of understanding you have of “Flowing Water”? Is the reason why you have given “Flowing Water” such emotions from your understanding of Khrutaf’s life, or is it your own conjecture?”

The reporter who barged into the lounge kept asking questions to Chenyu, while the other contestants looked on with their arms folded over their chests and jealous eyes as they watched the youth panic and try to hide.

Qing Yun, adhering to Xiang Chenyu’s character, changed from his sharpness in refuting Turris on stage. He just kept his head down and held his violin to avoid the reporter’s questions, remaining silent and not saying a word.

The reporter shrugged helplessly at his camera, “It seems that our musical prodigy is a genius of high character, and he is not willing to answer my questions.”

However, at that moment, the camera caught the reddish tips of the youth’s ears hidden under his black hair. The reporter was instantly energized and ran to his side again to ask: “May I ask if you are shy?”

When he asked this question, he only saw that the teenager’s cheeks became even redder, and the black eyes that occasionally glanced over seemed to be soaking in a spring of water, which was extremely cute.

Although no questions were answered, the video was still eventually put online. Many netizens looked at the cute teenager in the video who would not refute or rebuke but would only hold the violin and scurry away with a red face, and they couldn’t help but laugh.

Even the reporter himself, in the end, said to the camera, “Haha, it’s so cute. I’m falling in love with him, really.”

Someone also put out a video of Xiang Chenyu being interviewed by reporters in the square when he was ten years old. At that time, the boy with ragged clothes and unreasonably large shoes on his feet did not feel inferior because of his clothes. On the contrary, he looked up at the reporters with his little white face, smiling and calling out uncle one after another.

His smile was so bright that it easily conveyed his happiness. He wasn’t shy about talking about all the fun stories he had when he was learning the violin.

The contrast between that boy with a bright smile and the current young man with his head down, who is still cute but unusually silent, was inexplicably heartbreaking for netizens to see.

“I really want to know what he’s been through all these years. Being adopted and having a life with great clothes and food, but why do I still feel sorry for him to the extent that I want to hug him!”

Some say that because people expect too much from him, Xiang Chenyu is silenced because of the slander that follows the disappearance of his talent. Others point the finger at Xiang Chenyu’s father and mother, who adopted him.
