And the "Redemption" version of "Deep Sea" was used on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage.

They understood the art of suppressing before elevating.

First, bury people in the deep sea, and then when the Spring Festival Gala stage comes, fish them back out.

As the great demon kings of the music scene, Youmingyue's appeal and influence in music were terrifying.

Approaching twelve noon.

Countless netizens opened their music apps, rubbing their hands, impatient.

Their eager appearance was just like a bride or groom busy entering the bridal chamber on their wedding night.

For many, Youmingyue's new songs were a must-listen.

This had already become a habit.

In music, they had never disappointed, so everyone had high expectations and great confidence in them.

And many musicians in the industry, from the moment they heard the news of the "Roll King's Return," had put on their masks of pain.

There was no helping it.

These twins were just too bizarre.

As long as they released a song, it would often hit number one on the new music charts, rubbing others into the ground without any reason.

They were simply inhuman monsters.

Chen Xue and her boyfriend Tian Yu were both fans of Youmingyue.

At this moment, like countless people in China, they clicked open the music app and kept refreshing it.

"It's out."

Suddenly, Chen Xue exclaimed, a smile appearing on her cute, freckled face.

Youmingyue's new songs, as always, would appear directly on the homepage recommendations of major music platforms as soon as they were released.

Regarding the twins, the major music platforms were very self-aware; they would proactively offer recommendations without needing to be told.

No one would go against money.

At this time.

Tian Yu also put down his mobile game and leaned over to hug Chen Xue.

"Baby, play it and let's listen," he said.

And the phone he had discarded—one could see on the screen that an archer in the King's Canyon was standing in the fountain, dazed.

Neither going to defend the tower nor helping teammates, just standing there quietly, as if having become a Buddha, with victory or defeat having nothing to do with them, keeping aloof from worldly affairs.

—You never know what your trash teammates are doing.

Compared to the game, Tian Yu was more interested in Youmingyue's new song.

Just that...

"Deep Sea?" Tian Yu was stunned for a moment; if he remembered correctly, didn't Youmingyue say when posting on Weibo that this song was a heartwarming one?

Yeah, right.

Does this sound like the "Song Title" a heartwarming song should have?

Vaguely, he had a bad premonition!

In his arms.

Chen Xue downloaded the song and clicked play, all in one go.

The prelude of the song rang out in the room the next second.

First was the sound of crashing waves, followed by a piano playing two notes continuously.

The rise and fall of the notes were not great, one could even say very flat, giving an overall feeling of sadness and depression.

Under the influence of the empathy talent, everyone's heart calmed down instantly.

At this time.

Youyue's ethereal and clear singing voice rang out:

"The scattered moonlight passes through the clouds,

Hiding from the crowd,

Spreading like scales on the sea.

The waves wet the white dress,

Trying to push you back.

The waves wash away the bloodstains,

Delusionally trying to warm you.

Listening to the depths of the sea,

Whose wail is guiding?

The soul sinks into silence,

No one will wake you up..."

The melody and the song title matched well, giving a feeling of heaviness yet tranquility.

There was a sense of disappointment with the world, as well as inner despair.

And the lyrics continued the girl's usual writing style, like poetry, with imagery rushing toward the listener.

Moonlight passed through the clouds, fell onto the sea, and spread into beautiful, silver-white scales.

A girl in a white dress avoided the crowd and walked alone toward the sea step by step.

Waves tried to push the girl back, and the sea tried to warm the girl, telling her not to die.

"This song isn't right, very not right!" Tian Yu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly looked at Chen Xue.

Chen Xue had once suffered from school bullying and had three years of moderate depression; it was his constant companionship and treatment that made Chen Xue gradually get better.

And this song was so desperate, so oppressive, he must not let Chen Xue have a relapse.

"Xue'er, let's stop listening, okay?" he said softly.

Cursing the twins in his heart, heartwarming my foot, this is depressing!

Chen Xue had tears welling up in her eyes, but she smiled and shook her head.

She had also attempted suicide before.

The lyrics evoked those memories of hers.

"It's very oppressive."

"Yeah, the singing style is very flat, the melody is also very calm, no high-pitched vocal gymnastics, but it works perfectly, filled with despair and sadness."

"Is this really a heartwarming song?"

Musicians were discussing.

At this time.

The chorus part rang out, sung by Mingyue, using a smoky rap style, which had a unique flavor, deepening the despair and sadness.

"You like the salty scent of the sea breeze,

Stepping on the wet gravel.

You said people's ashes should be scattered into the sea,

You asked me where I would go after death,

Is there anyone who loves you?

Can the world stop,

Always pulling a smiling face at cold people?

People on the shore all wear indifference on their faces,

No attachment to the human world,

Everything dissipates like smoke..."

The sea didn't want the girl to die like this, yet the girl remained unmoved.

Just like that, the girl blew the sea breeze she loved most, stepped on the gravel, walked toward the sea step by step, and then sank into the deep sea.

That girl in a white dress, on a beautiful night, abandoned her life and sank into the deep sea.

Who hurt her?

What caused her to despair of the human world?
