Chapter 730

~15 min read 2,815 words

At noon, Miss Luo Quan made several hearty dishes to welcome her mother and the others, and everyone had a big feast.

After the meal, her mother went to take a nap to catch up on sleep.

Luo Xi had cried several times during the night on the plane, and her mother hadn't slept soundly, so she was yawning after lunch and went straight to rest.

The heavy responsibility of taking care of her younger sister fell on her older sister, Miss Luo Quan.

"Come, say hello to everyone." Miss Luo Quan held Luo Xi up in front of the camera.

Luo Xi stared with her big, shiny eyes, looking ahead with a giggle, waving her arms "goo-goo-ga-ga."

"Has the little sister arrived home so soon?"

"Still as cute as ever."

"Doesn't the baby take a nap?"

"To think I'd have a day where I turn into a creepy uncle."

………………

After saying hello, Miss Luo Quan put her sister back in the cradle: "This little one slept for a long time on the plane; she's full of energy right now, how could she be sleepy?"

Saying this, Miss Luo Quan opened the game, preparing to play a ranked match.

And her sister was in the cradle behind her, but because of the camera angle, only half her face could be seen.

But even so, the fans were already quite happy.

As long as they saw the older sister and younger sister in the same frame, a satisfaction that was hard to describe in words would arise, as if their hearts were suddenly filled with happiness and joy.

"Wah-yeh—wah-yeh—"

A child's crying is just like summer rain; it comes as soon as it's mentioned.

Miss Luo Quan had just entered the game when Luo Xi suddenly started crying.

Miss Luo Quan hurriedly abandoned the game to see what Luo Xi was crying about.

As soon as she walked over, she smelled a scent; it seemed it was time for a diaper change.

Picking up her sister, Miss Luo Quan stood at the top of the stairs and shouted: "Gao Liang, come over here and help me finish this game!"

Gao Liang, who was playing on his phone in the living room, ran up: "What's up?"

"Luo Xi peed, I'm going to change her diaper, you help me play." Miss Luo Quan said while going downstairs, found a diaper among her mother's luggage, and then entered the bathroom.

Changing her sister's diaper was something she had done many times when she was taking care of Luo Xi alone before, so it could be said she was very familiar with it.

But this time, an unexpected situation occurred.

"Oh my, you really are something." Miss Luo Quan looked helplessly at her wet clothes and pants, finding it both funny and frustrating.

She had just opened the diaper for her sister, and as a result, she gave her a "high-altitude cannon" directly.

She had been crying quite fiercely before, but now she was giggling non-stop.

"You're quite proud of yourself." Miss Luo Quan was completely helpless and could only poke her head out of the bathroom, asking Wen Xia to find a change of clothes for her and her sister.

Originally, she only needed to wipe and change a diaper, but now she had to take a bath.

And Luo Xi was still happily clapping her hands, laughing like a child.

Twenty minutes later, Miss Luo Quan came out with her hair styled like "Lazy Sheep," wrapped in a bath towel and holding her sister.

Luo Xi, who had just taken a bath, was laughing very happily; she didn't know if the crying earlier was simply because she felt uncomfortable from sweating too much on the plane.

But children can't talk, so whether it was that or not, one could only guess.

However, it was simple to bathe Luo Xi, but she herself was more troublesome.

It was mainly because she had a lot of hair and it was long, making it more troublesome to wash.

After coming out, blowing her hair dry took another long time, and by the time she returned to the room, it was already half an hour later.

After entering, she found Gao Liang was rapping, and the atmosphere seemed quite hyped with the BGM.

"What about my promotion match?" Miss Luo Quan asked, seeing that League of Legends had already been closed.

"I surrendered at 15; the opposing jungler was too strong and ganked my teammates to pieces." Gao Liang looked at his older sister with a righteous face. "And you know, I only play 'Happy Wind Man' (Yasuo); I really can't play Lee Sin."

"With that 0-21 Yasuo of yours." Miss Luo Quan let out a long sigh. "I shouldn't have asked you to play... By the way, are you rapping for the fans?"

"Yeah, the audience said they haven't seen me in a long time and wanted to hear me sing a song." Gao Liang pointed at the camera and explained. "I see everyone seems to like rap quite a bit; it seems rap has a big market in China."

"There is indeed a market; there are more singers than listeners." Miss Luo Quan put her freshly washed, fragrant sister back in the cradle and dragged a stool to sit by the computer.

And this sarcastic remark also made the bullet comments in the livestream unable to hold it in:

"Luo Bao, if you say that, then we rappers are going to diss you."

"What caused you to be unable to finish a complete sentence in Chinese?"

"Of course it's 'real,' what else could it be?"

"Rappers play for real."

…………

Gao Liang's Chinese was not bad; he looked carefully at the bullet comments and found everyone was teasing, so he asked in confusion: "Why is everyone mocking rap?"

Miss Luo Quan explained to her younger brother: "Because there are many rappers in China who only learned the form of rap but didn't learn the critical spirit of rap.

The lyrics are all about yellow, violent gangs like in the US, but they don't think about whether there is soil for these things in China; it's completely learning all the bad things without learning the good."

Because she had just taken a bath, her brain was a bit hot, and she said a lot in one breath, saying both what should and shouldn't have been said.

However, there was basically nothing wrong with what Miss Luo Quan said, and the fans in the livestream basically agreed.

As for Gao Liang, what Miss Luo Quan said wasn't just about China; American rap is actually the same.

As the birthplace of hip-hop, American rap actually had many high-quality works with critical and realistic satirical spirits in the early days.

However, with the development of the times, singers have become more and more commercialized, and their works have become "sh*t, urine, and fart."

Of course, he had also sung many songs with a strong commercial flavor.

But every time he released an album, at least half of the content would be critical songs written by himself.

It's just a pity that only a small group of people are willing to appreciate these songs; most people prefer "Baby" or "Love the Way You Lie," which he sang with his sister.

However, Gao Liang had also come to terms with it; it was already quite good that there were people who appreciated his songs, and there was no need to force everyone to listen.

And the fact that so many people didn't like them also showed that his level hadn't reached the height of his sister's, and he still needed to carefully ponder and improve.

After his older sister returned, Gao Liang gave up the seat to the main person.

After briefly explaining the reason for his long absence, Miss Luo Quan started her journey of climbing the ranks again.

However, because of what she said just now, Miss Luo Quan quickly made it to the Weibo trending list.

"Miss Luo Quan criticizes the domestic hip-hop circle!"

The title was simple and crude, and it looked like it would make people in the circle feel unhappy.

Soon, a hip-hop singer with over three million fans posted a Weibo:

"As a pop singer, what right do you have to criticize the hip-hop circle? I heard full arrogance and prejudice against the hip-hop circle in her words; I feel very unhappy, she should give hip-hop singers an apology."

This singer debuted from "The Rap of China," and his name was Zhang Chao.

Because his personality was flamboyant and he spoke his mind, he was called "true-natured."

There were many fans who liked him, and quite a few who hated him.

This time, being the first to jump out to "speak up for justice," he was quite the "bird that sticks its head out and gets shot."

Consequently, Miss Luo Quan's fans quickly fulfilled his wish:

"Not to mention anything else, although Miss Luo Quan doesn't have many hip-hop works, any one she takes out is harder than yours, right?"

"Her words weren't aimed at any one person; don't take it personally. Currently, the Chinese hip-hop circle is indeed like this; after getting traffic, many people have forgotten their original intentions."

"The statement 'there are more singers than listeners' doesn't seem to have any big problems."

"Just the song 'The Name of the Father' alone kills the entire hip-hop circle. Miss Luo Quan is the number one person in the new generation of music, not the number one in pop music; go figure out the difference yourself."

………………

The combat power of Miss Luo Quan's fans is not something one singer can compare to.

Not to mention that there were many passersby who didn't like hip-hop culture helping out, and the situation was completely one-sided.

In the entertainment industry, Miss Luo Quan is notoriously not to be trifled with.

Don't you see that after this trending topic came out, not many singers spoke up? Everyone knew they couldn't afford to offend her, so they all chose to follow their hearts.

Looking at Zhang Chao, he was really just like others' evaluations—true-natured and straight-forward, saying whatever he had to say.

However, after the words were out, it was normal to be "blown up."

Fortunately, Miss Luo Quan quickly posted a status asking fans not to react too intensely, saying that people should be allowed the right to question and refute.

After all, the internet is not anyone's one-man show; sometimes her words might be biased, and if there's a mistake, point it out. As long as it's reasonable, she will admit it; there's no need to conduct personal attacks on those who question her.

After this status was posted, Zhang Chao's Weibo environment improved a bit, and then everyone was waiting for him to make a reasonable questioning.

Then, what they waited for was an apology: "I didn't finish reading Miss Luo Quan's remarks before speaking. Those problems of hers do indeed exist, and I myself have mentioned them before, so it can't be called wrong at all.

This time I was rash, and I humbly accept everyone's criticism."

After this apology Weibo was posted, Zhang Chao gained countless fans overnight.

In the entertainment industry, stars who admit their mistakes and correct them like this are already quite precious; to think it was still from the hip-hop circle, it was truly a bit ironic.

What's more interesting is that a Chinese rap show even publicly called out to Gao Liang, wanting to invite him to be a guest on the show and become a mentor for China's new generation of rappers.

Originally, this position of his belonged to another star.

But that star had already been imprisoned due to lifestyle issues, but the show was prepared in all aspects, and the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

So the production team had been looking for a star who had both traffic and strength.

As a result, after looking around, they found that there really was no one in the country who met the standard.

If they just found someone who didn't sing well, they would be mocked to the heavens after the show aired.

When it comes to cursing, the rap circle is one more ruthless than the other.

So the situation fell into a stalemate.

But Gao Liang's sudden arrival made the production team's eyes light up.

In terms of traffic, Gao Liang is a top global superstar, currently one of the top two among male stars.

In terms of strength, the "Little Rap King" is not playing around, and he has also won several major Grammy awards for best rap; this qualification is simply invincible among his peers.

If he were really invited, wouldn't it be a "cow sitting on a plane"—awesome to the heavens!

It's just that they didn't know if Gao Liang came here to travel or to develop business in China.

After all, when Miss Luo Quan was livestreaming, she only revealed that he would come to play and didn't say how long he would stay, so the production team was also a bit nervous when calling out.

And Gao Liang, seeing that there was a rap show inviting him, also had his eyes light up.

He was just worrying about which show to start with after coming to China, and this one immediately volunteered.

After making a phone call to Seifert, Gao Liang talked to his older sister again, wanting to ask for her opinion.

"China has rap?" Miss Luo Quan looked at the show Gao Liang mentioned.

The one to be filmed this year is the third season of this show; the show itself is quite famous in the rap circle, and the first season also promoted several rappers. Although there were many controversies, most of them were concentrated on the initiator.

Now that Gao Liang is coming to be this initiator, there probably won't be any controversy.

She knew very well how high her younger brother's verbal skills were; it was more than enough to participate in a variety show, it's just...

"By the way, can you rap in Chinese?" Miss Luo Quan asked this question.

"Slower songs are okay, but if it's too fast, I'll trip over my tongue." Gao Liang shook his head: "Chinese flat and retroflex sounds are really too difficult. Wanting to say them correctly and clearly is a difficult thing, let alone singing them at rap speed; without three or five years, I'm afraid it won't work."

"So that's the only difficulty, but you can also just sing English songs. As long as you are good enough, one song can convince the crowd." Miss Luo Quan didn't have much objection to Gao Liang participating in this show.

Although this show didn't have a particularly good reputation because of the previous initiator.

But that person has already "cooled down," and now Gao Liang is coming to take over; perhaps he can turn the reputation around.

"That's simple, I'll write a song that shows off my skills, and at the beginning of the first episode, I'll just stabilize the scene." Gao Liang also knew the principle of "striking first to gain the upper hand," telling his sister not to worry.

After it was decided, Gao Liang posted a reply on his Weibo account, which he had applied for more than two years ago but had hardly used:

"No problem, see you on stage."

This question and answer directly became the number one trending topic with an "explosive" character at the beginning.

"Gao Liang has come to China!"

As the male star with the highest popularity in the world, China is the country where Gao Liang has appeared the second most.

As early as two years ago, he was on a show here; at that time, he was a special guest for the girl group Girls' Generation, and now he is about to become the initiator of "China Has Rap."

His fans in China must have waited a long time for this opportunity to have close contact with their idol; everyone in the livestream was popping champagne to celebrate.

And because of what Miss Luo Quan said in the livestream earlier, many people were wondering if this was deliberate hype.

Then the show's production team smiled and posted a Weibo to respond to this rumor: "With the traffic of Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang, a sister and brother, do they still need hype? Why spend that unjust money?"

This rhetorical question truly made netizens unable to help but laugh.

To tell the truth, the fame of these two really doesn't need to use this method to hype.

It looks like this should be more like an impromptu invitation, and Gao Liang's side just happened to be willing to come, so the matter was settled.
