The frequency of the heart beating vigorously has never been clearer.

At the same time, it also brings forth a dense and tingling sourness.

This is the final competition, and the audience’s enthusiasm has been completely aroused.

Although I had absolute confidence in successfully forming a debut group, when it really became a reality, I was still very excited and very happy inside.

"Yiyi, still catching your breath, huh." The host stood next to Xie Yizun, holding a microphone, smiled and said to him, "Are you feeling very excited right now?"

"Indeed very excited." Xie Yizun replied as he came to his senses.

"Excitement is understandable, right? Mainly, Yiyi, you performed really well today." The host glanced at the excited and jubilant fans below, then smiled and asked, "But everyone might also be curious, you performed so well, were you nervous before going on stage?"

"I was nervous," Xie Yizun said, "but I knew that pre-competition nerves were an unnecessary burden for the result I wanted, so I tried hard not to be nervous."

"Yiyi is very rational." The host smiled and said, "How do you stop yourself from being nervous? Can you share with everyone?"

"I tell myself not to think about the things that make me nervous, and then I put all my energy into improving my performance. When my focus is on how to present the upcoming performance better, I naturally don’t get nervous because I simply have no mind to be nervous." As Xie Yizun answered the question, he looked ahead, his joyful eyes meeting a pair of gentle, smiling clear eyes, and his mood gradually calmed down.

"Wow, it’s really surprising that Yiyi can be so rational before the competition." The host exclaimed.

"He’s really super rational, so during the pre-competition rehearsals and training with Xie Yizun, I felt particularly at ease because he is really stable." Another contestant who successfully formed the group with Xie Yizun interrupted, "I can’t really understand how he usually seems so straightforward, yet at this moment, he can be so rational, able to discard all unnecessary distractions and put all his energy into the performance."

"Is Yiyi this hard-working offstage?" The host casually turned the microphone to the contestant who was speaking, "It seems like you have a lot of interesting things happening in private."

"Yes." The contestant looked at Xie Yizun with a face full of joy, "Last night we rehearsed until three something in the morning, we were all very tired, and everyone wanted to rest, but Xie Yizun felt that a part wasn’t sung well, so he wanted to continue practicing, and then everyone was motivated by his enthusiasm to go through the rehearsal a few more times, so today we could be so calm and confident on stage."

"No, no, everyone worked hard, everyone worked really hard for this final competition." Xie Yizun hastily clarified, "It’s because everyone wanted to deliver a great performance to the audience, so we all worked hard together."

The host found their mutual praise quite interesting, "It looks like you all get along well in daily life. So, what have you all gained from participating in the show all the way here?"

"The biggest gain must be trending a few times, both negative and positive." Xie Yizun answered with a smile.

The audience burst into laughter.

The contestant standing next to him laughed along and after laughing, said, "I feel the biggest gain from coming here is making many friends, witnessing many excellent people, and also improving myself a lot. Above all, receiving love from many people."

After speaking, he looked towards the stage.

Below the stage, his fans immediately screamed in response.

"Yiyi, did you watch the contestants’ performance backstage just now? How did you feel?"

"Yes, I watched very seriously, I was just very happy, very excited cheering for them. Every time I cheer for the brothers on stage, I feel the same way fans feel when they cheer for me during competitions, very proud and very happy." Xie Yizun said, looking at the contestant beside him, "When I came, I was really worried, afraid I would affect the teammates’ performance, but luckily, we cooperated very very well and received the love of many!"

He then turned to the contestants waiting for interviews beside him, raising his voice, "I really think we are all great."

— "And then, all efforts deserve to be seen, I hope my dream comes true, and I can bring strength to more, have a positive impact on more people."

"Certainly." The two contestants next to Xie Yizun both reached out and patted his back.

They saw the youth’s eyes redden, their eyes also welled up.

"It seems everyone is really proud and moved by each other’s performance tonight. Shall we applaud ourselves?" The host followed in shifting the mood.

Enthusiastic applause immediately erupted on and off stage, pausing only intermittently.

The host then asked, "Today’s competition is about to end, next you will each have different paths to pursue, heading towards your own futures. Do you have any plans or expectations for the future?"

"I’ll be making music next, original..." Xie Yizun answered, "At the same time, I hope to do better in the future. I am satisfied with today’s performance, but I know it’s not the end, it’s just the beginning. Although my strength might seem small in the future, I will definitely strive to be a better version of myself."

— "Lastly, a final word for the fans who have passionately supported me all along, I hope everyone, no matter what, must insist on being themselves, and keep striving for their dreams."

"Yiyi!"

"Yiyi, I love you!"

In the audience, the area belonging to Xie Yizun’s fans suddenly echoed with uniform cheers.

"Wow, everyone is really enthusiastic!" The host glanced at the audience, then looked at Xie Yizun, "I believe your fans are also very much looking forward to your future performances, so let’s hope that wherever you go in the future, you’ll get better and better."

...

Finally, all the performances of "Idol 6688" came to an end.

Xie Yizun and the other four contestants officially formed a group and debuted successfully.

He also successfully claimed the center position, making himself the champion of the show where both strength and popularity coexist.

After the competition, someone summarized the various records Xie Yizun set during the competition, all of which showed he set many records in the history of the "Idol 6688" talent show.

On that night of forming the group, countless people tearfully said goodbye to the stage...

And many witnessed their beloved ones freely blooming, making themselves the brightest starlight of what was an ordinary night.
