As a result, Cang Hong usually only tried to negotiate at the very edge of Cheng Bin’s boundaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than the time he had recklessly returned to Central City out of concern for Jiang Qin’s safety, he had never once disregarded Cheng Bin’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Cang Hong took his word for it and prepared to work hard, aiming to make a splash at the year-end celebration!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still made sure to send his daily messages, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jiang Qin received his greeting, she replied, [It’s late.

You could listen to three new songs a day and still have enough for an entire year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no time to pick and choose, they simply started playing songs from the top of the charts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first song... hmm, nice and energizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth song... what a gentle opening melody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flipping open the Notebook I carry with me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was just as gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female master, are you playing the new songs that were uploaded today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman, who was applying lotion, answered casually, \"I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she found herself involuntarily humming along to the line, \"Loved ’til it hurt, hurt ’til I cried, cried ’til I was weary~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The melodies of the previous few songs were too difficult to sing. This one, however, was gentle, peaceful, and easy to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already knew a line after listening to it just once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she couldn’t remember the rest of the words, she had memorized the tune and could hum along through the whole thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one playthrough, the app automatically skipped to the next track. She quickly went back and spent 1 Star Coin to download the song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she played it again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She listened quietly through the first half, but as soon as the chorus hit, she started singing along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she sang, the more engrossed she became, as if she were truly singing out some heart-wrenching sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her partner couldn’t resist humming along with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them repeated it several times. \"Loved ’til it hurt, hurt ’til I was weary...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I don’t even know what’s supposed to hurt, but that’s the only line I know, so I guess I’m just in constant pain...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They thought that was bizarre enough, but they were shocked to hear several other people humming the same song after they left the house and got to the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the elevator, the breakroom, the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even heard it while out shopping on their lunch break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could understand all that, but why was their *boss* listening to it too?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[My boss spent the entire morning in his office listening to that \"Loved ’til it hurt\" song...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know if he got divorced from his female master or something. It made me too scared to go in and hand in my proposal, in case I got my head bitten off.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What a coincidence! My mom was listening to it all day too. My dad and uncles are furious, asking everyone who this person is that caused her such heart-wrenching pain.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I’m the real victim here! This song is toxic. I’ll be trying to focus on work, and it’s like my mouth gets an itch and the lyrics just pop out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve sung it so many times that my female master is starting to wonder if I’m thinking about a long-lost first love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, I was quick with an explanation.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Upvoting this guilty man. You deserve to have a wife!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This song really has some kind of Magic Power.

It was a man wearing discreet earbuds, eyes closed, absolutely wailing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by his expression, you probably couldn’t make a face like that unless you’d been constipated for ten days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that voice... it really made you want to rip your own ears off...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I’d known this would happen, I wouldn’t have cheaped out and taken a public Flying Car,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin had only heard about the song’s explosive popularity from Lan Yuyan; she didn’t have time to check the Star Network herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her days were now almost entirely spent on set with the *Medicine God* film crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of filming *Medicine God*, she also had to remotely supervise *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t completely step away from either project, so she was incredibly busy—so busy she wished she could split herself in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to filming, she was also busy writing and publishing the novel version of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To generate some buzz, she had already released a hundred thousand words on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just imagine: when fans finished binging the novel, they’d turn around and find the TV series was already airing. They’d have to check it out, one way or another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The popularity of \"Notebook\" was immense, and its play count continued to soar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even five days after its release, the number of daily downloads was still climbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the second song Jiang Qin had prepared for the Tianwen singers was released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was \"Sea and Sky,\" released by Peng Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true Cantonese classic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could already sing and play an instrument. While he couldn’t play ancient musical instruments, the all-in-one Interstellar instruments were a piece of cake for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To help him stand out, Jiang Qin had spent the last while helping Tianwen put together a proper band.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This song was a collaboration between him as the lead singer and that very band.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Chen already had a small fanbase of his own. Combined with the hype surrounding Jiang Qin’s original compositions, the song quickly shot up from the bottom of the charts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Wen Jiaqi and her brother listened to it, they immediately made a post about the song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cantonese Music Finally Has a Seat at the Table.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Come Check Out the ONLY Cantonese Song on the Year-End Charts.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fans of Cantonese Music, You CANNOT Miss This New Song from Jiang Qin!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the threads went up, they attracted countless people from their community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A Cantonese song? Who’s reckless enough to try and climb the charts with a Cantonese song at year-end?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Oh, it’s Jiang Qin? That’s not so surprising then. Still, it’s a bit too idealistic. During this clash of the titans, a Cantonese song is just too niche.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sigh. Just for the fact that it’s a nearly lost dialect, we should all go support it. Let’s not dishearten the people who love and study Cantonese.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[These days, only Jiang Qin would give a Cantonese song a seat at the table.
