The results were decided by votes from teachers and student representatives.
Each class had five students who took their votes to the ballot boxes nearby.
As the song ended, the student and teacher votes were already clear. A large crowd surrounded the ballot box for Su Xiaoling, while only a few token votes from their own class were cast for Qian Chengcheng’s box.
There was no need to count; Su Xiaoling and Su Yu had won overwhelmingly.
“Teacher Ting Yu, can we put this song on the school’s official website homepage?” Principal Guo rushed over after Su Yu and Su Xiaoling stepped down.
Qian Chengcheng and his father, Qian Yunfei, followed behind.
“Go ahead,” Su Yu nodded.
This way, he figured Principal Guo owed him a favor.
“Lis-Listen Yu teacher.” Qian Yunfei stepped forward with an awkward smile.
“Hello.” Su Yu had seen the father and son during their performance and naturally knew they were Su Xiaoling’s competition.
“You brat, apologize to classmate Su Xiaoling quickly!” Qian Yunfei turned to Qian Chengcheng beside him.
His main reason for coming was the fear that Qian Chengcheng’s previous arrogance towards Su Xiaoling might have angered Su Yu, so he’d brought his son to apologize.
Given Su Yu’s current status in the entertainment industry, a single word from him could mean they’d have to pack up and leave. He didn’t want his livelihood jeopardized over a trivial matter involving his son.
Qian Chengcheng lowered his head and mumbled, “I’m sorry…”
Seeing this, Qian Yunfei immediately became angry. He had promised extra pocket money for an apology, and now that the apology was so perfunctory, he slapped Qian Chengcheng on the head. “Be more sincere!”
Qian Chengcheng’s eyes instantly reddened.
Su Yu waved his hand. “It’s fine. I see you probably don’t spend much time with him usually. Children need their parents’ company and guidance the most. Spend more time on him.”
Such an unconvincing apology was no different from no apology at all. Moreover, Su Yu wouldn’t stoop to arguing with a child. He could also see that Qian Yunfei’s approach to Qian Chengcheng was problematic, suggesting the root issue was in education.
“Thank you for your reminder, Teacher Ting Yu. I will educate him properly when we get back!”
However, Qian Yunfei seemed to have misunderstood Su Yu’s intention, completely ignoring the part about companionship and assuming Su Yu was talking about educating Qian Chengcheng.
He quickly pulled Qian Chengcheng away.
Su Yu stared blankly at the retreating figures of the father and son, opened his mouth, and finally sighed.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaoling covered her mouth, stifling a laugh.
She recognized the expression on Qian Yunfei’s face; it was the same one her second aunt made whenever she was about to be spanked.
She knew that Qian Chengcheng’s backside would likely be in for a beating when they got home.
“Teacher Ting Yu, would you like to come to the office for a bit?” Principal Guo asked, stepping forward.
He had benefited greatly from having Ting Yu’s song featured on the school’s homepage and wanted to express his gratitude properly.
“Principal Guo, I apologize, but I have to rush to participate in a program later. We’ll talk next time,” Su Yu said with a smile.
Principal Guo, being a shrewd individual, naturally understood that Su Yu wasn’t interested in chatting. He quickly nodded. “Alright, Teacher Ting Yu is always welcome to visit the school anytime.”
With that, he discreetly took his leave.
Su Yu took a deep breath and extended his hand to Su Xiaoling. “Your teacher mentioned you don’t have classes this afternoon. Let’s go home.”
Su Xiaoling tilted her head and looked at Su Yu. “Brother Xiao Yu, you’re amazing. Everyone is so polite to you. Xiaoling will be just like you when she grows up!”
Su Yu smiled at her words. “Then you should study hard.”
Su Xiaoling grabbed Su Yu’s large hand and nodded vigorously. “I’ll study hard and be as amazing as Brother Xiao Yu in the future!”
Then.
The siblings walked hand in hand towards the campus exit.
Su Yu took out a mask from his pocket with his other hand and put it on.
The March sun shone warmly on them. Looking at the playful campus, Su Yu’s mood suddenly became much calmer.
“By the way, why didn’t you mention today that I was your Melody God brother?”
“That’s so childish. My goal has changed now. I’m going to work hard to surpass Brother Xiao Yu. Su Xiaoling will never be inferior to anyone in her life!”
Su Yu nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
What on earth?
Her thoughts were jumping too fast!
If hard work was all it took, why would he need a system?
Of course, Su Yu wouldn’t discourage Su Xiaoling’s ambition.
Having a goal was a good thing!

#Shocking! The Elementary School Singing Competition Features Tongtian Dai!!#
#“Let Us Paddle Together,” Ting Yu Takes You Down Memory Lane.#
#A Children’s Song That Brings Adults to Tears After Listening!#
Not long after.
The news that Ting Yu appeared at the elementary school singing competition and won first place instantly spread across the internet.
“Hahaha, this is insane. Ting Yu, a Melody God, goes to bully elementary school students.”
“It’s not really bullying elementary school students; the opponent also had a second-tier singer.”
“As if a second-tier singer isn’t an elementary school student in front of Ting Yu…”
“Can’t hold it in anymore. For this kind of ‘frying fish’ behavior, we express our strong… support. Give us more! I like children’s songs too!”
“Exactly, Lu Xun once said, if you don’t fry, and I don’t fry, when will the fish grow up!”
“But this song is genuinely good. Even though it’s a children’s song, I, a 576-month-old baby, can also recall the feeling of childhood.”
“Anyway, after listening to this song, images of my childhood playing with friends instantly flooded my mind!”
Ting Yu’s quiet participation in an elementary school competition had stunned his fans.
Furthermore, he had released a children’s song that was not only liked by children but also by adults.
It also sparked much nostalgic discussion.
No one expected a children’s song to bring back adult memories, leading many to share their childhood stories online.
Su Yu glanced at the online comments and put down his phone.
Tomorrow was the release date of “A Chinese Ghost Story.”
The singer group had agreed to support Zhang Yang’s first film premiere and had made plans to watch it together.
Lin Yanyu had initially wanted Su Yu to accompany her to the premiere.
However, Su Yu had to record the ninth episode of “Masked Singer,” so she would have to wait until after Su Yu finished recording before they could watch it together.
As for “Masked Singer,” after many episodes of competition, Dark Night Rabbit’s singing skills had been recognized by the public. Besides the finale live broadcast, there were only three more episodes left to record, and the guests for these final episodes would likely not be simple.
He had even seen some rumors online.
The replacement singers in the later episodes might include Melody Gods.
The Melody Gods here weren’t those who had been nominated but rather those who already possessed Melody God-level skills but, for certain reasons, such as conflicts with the Entertainment Gala, or having more powerful individuals during their peak periods.
The combat power of these individuals could be formidable. They were just one title short of being a Melody God, and they would undoubtedly strive harder for this title during the competition.
Lin Yanyu would be a replacement singer in the tenth episode, and he needed to consider her performance song soon.
“System, customize ‘Noble’ and ‘If Winning the World Means Losing You’ for me.”
【Ding, ‘Noble’ and ‘If Winning the World Means Losing You’ have been customized for the host, automatically placed in the system warehouse. Ten million has been donated to charity for the host.】
“Noble” is a song by Xue Zhiqian that directly addresses human nature and is emotionally driven, and it is also known by fans as “Shang Shen.”
With its dark style and the explosion of hope emerging after suppression, the song’s emotional impact during a live performance is far superior to its studio version.
For “If Winning the World Means Losing You,” similar to the previous episode’s “Our Love,” Su Yu once again chose JJ Lin’s version.
The reason remained the same two words.
Showmanship!
