"Let's sing now, I will tell you everything after the audition, and I hope you will do the same, tell me the whole truth.", the singer said before opening his mic again.

"The song's name is "Stand Up" or "Twenty", and the author of the music and lyrics is, as I've said, Xiao Zhan."

Zhan started to play the drums along with the pianist's parts, and when he nodded to the singer, Yibo's honey voice filled the room and also the audience's hearts.

The singer's voice sounded steady and confident, even though the sheet was trembling in his hands, from all the strong emotions his heart was filled with.

He could feel to the core all the pain and struggles that Xiao Zhan went trough:

~A shooting star running to the end of the sky
Can a ray of wind hear
A ray of hope also sings for him
I want to rekindle the fire
Time and time again, only ashes remain before my eyes
Wounded and searching for an exit
Tightening the invisible rope again and again
Both hands are empty, unable to break free
Three feet above the sound of the wind is so vast~

Also he could feel that the song was written by Zhan with his image in his mind:

~ Before a storm rushes through
A light penetrates the long night
For a moment he was no longer alone
The way he stumbled, the way he pursued
His eyes are filled with light along the way
Three thousand lights reflecting the stars in the sky
The four seas are far away, and you return together~
