Chapter 180: Please Prepare Tissues

In Shanghai, Jiang Ningxi is using a tablet in her room to watch the Live Broadcast of the King of Love Songs.

Shen Yinuo went to participate in a variety show today, so she is not at home.

It is precisely because of this that she did not follow Luo Mo to the scene of the King of Love Songs Live Broadcast.

She has already understood her own heart and knows that she has fallen, but she still cannot take that step.

On the contrary, it is when Xiao Shen is by her side that she can act more naturally and be more open when staying by his side.

At this moment, Chen Shanqi, dressed in a white dress and looking clean and elegant, is singing Friend Above Lover Below on stage, and the entire barrage has fallen into this atmosphere, expressing that they have suffered a sweet critical hit.

"【I don't believe it,

we have both developed feelings but cannot reach Romance,

so intimate yet cannot enter the depths of the heart.

Can you decide a little faster,

and say to me that you love me.】"

These lyrics make Jiang Ningxi feel that the whole world is filled with a sweet scent.

Especially the climax of the chorus, which perfectly interprets the key point of wanting to break through the relationship during the ambiguous period.

It is that one party must take the initiative.

"【A little further forward, and I will nod.

A little more impulsive, and I won't dodge.】"

Listening to the song, Jiang Ningxi cannot help but think back to many years ago, when she was still the one taking the initiative.

After she cast aside her reserve, although she lost her first kiss, didn't she also occupy his first kiss?

Although in this society, let alone a first kiss, it seems that even a first night is not valued by men...

However, in Jiang Ningxi's view—Fairness!

"Do I really want to be a traitor in the Aurora Girls?" she thinks to herself: "Do I really want to take the initiative once more?"

She is a person who acts decisively and dares to take responsibility for any of her decisions.

If she does it, she won't regret it; only by not doing it would she regret it.

However, because of her status, she might also destroy the interests of the entire girl group and ruin everyone's star path because of herself.

But on second thought, actually, many years ago, she and Luo Mo were also having a secret relationship, and their classmates were completely unaware.

——Secretly.

Most importantly, Luo Mo just has a strange kind of magic about him.

"Xiao Shen is also a member of the girl group, but after she and Luo Mo sang 'Double Happiness' and finished performing the ghost wedding, there was a large group of CP Fans on the internet, and the number is almost exceeding Xiao Shen's own fans," Jiang Ningxi thinks.

A group of people constantly shouts on the internet: "I approve of this marriage!"

Jiang Ningxi secretly gets annoyed whenever she sees such comments.

She does not approve of this marriage.

Unless she is allowed to join.

This makes her feel that God does not seem to be on her side; when Luo Mo drew lots to select the celebrity mentor for collaboration, he just happened not to draw her, but drew Shen Yinuo instead.

Moreover, Jiang Ningxi sensitively discovers that it was after that collaboration that Xiao Shen began to grow increasingly close to him.

……..

……..

On stage, Tao Jie repeats "【As long as you say it out loud, you can possess me】" twice more, and the song officially ends.

A two-way rush, a two-way heartbeat, always makes people feel sweeter.

Clearly the theme of the song is 【Friend Above Lover Below】, but it feels even sweeter than when they are together!

Lv Yi, sitting in the first row of the judges' seats, picks up the microphone again and says: "The entry point for the lyrics of this song is excellent, or rather, it skirted the theme of this episode."

"If you say it's singing about Romance, the theme is the ambiguity of not yet reaching Romance."

"But if you say it's not Romance, then I, for one, am not convinced!"

As he speaks, he stands up to lead the audience at the scene and says: "What do you think?"

The entire audience immediately jeers.

After he sits back down, he says with a smile: "From the perspective of a Lyricist, this song interprets 【No Love Involved】 from another angle, but it happens to be incredibly close to Romance, and it is still a mainstream love song."

"I didn't expect to hear a mainstream love song under this episode's theme, which makes me extremely surprised, and I have to praise it as brilliant."

A music critic sitting in the third row says: "In my view, Chen's singing also adds points to this song, singing out that kind of girlish sentiment. With a bit of playfulness, a little entanglement, a little reserve, I think it's very good!"

The reason why Luo Mo brought Tong Shu and Li Junyi to watch Chen Shanqi and Sun Yi practice singing back then was because both of them were just right in their handling of emotions.

It wouldn't be too heavy, making people feel it's pretentious, but it wouldn't be devoid of emotion, turning into a skill-showing machine without feelings.

In the end, Chen Shanqi's score from the professional jury is exactly 89 points, slightly higher than Sun Yi's.

This makes a look of relief appear on Tao Jie's face.

"I hope this score can satisfy Director Luo," she says in her heart.

For her, the only person she wants to please now is Luo Mo.

On the contrary, Zhao, who is already waiting in the stage passage, says in his heart when he hears the score coming from outside: "As expected."

"All three songs are from Luo Mo's hand; if the three of them go on stage consecutively, the scores will only get higher and higher!"

"Unless one of the songs in the middle suddenly flops and the level drops sharply!"

"It's a good thing I separated Chen Shanqi from him, otherwise even with the addition of Yuan, this battle would be particularly hard to fight," Zhao Xueqin thinks.

He is still very confident about the song "Master" that he brought.

Sun Yi and Chen Shanqi did not put too much pressure on him.

Because the song genres are different.

This song, "Master," can actually be seen to a certain extent as being inspired by "Laughter in the Vast Sea," following a grand and atmospheric ancient style.

Huang Xishan and Yuan Hewen unanimously agreed that such a song is very suitable for competition.

On Earth, when Gai went to participate in "I Am a Singer," he brought a rearranged Rap version of "Laughter in the Vast Sea."

At the same time, this crooked-mouthed Rapper, who was frantically bowing and greeting every teacher on the show, also contributed an internet meme: "My fate is hard; I can't learn to bow."

From the effect, this kind of grand and atmospheric song indeed has an inherent advantage on the competition stage.

After this song ends, the entire atmosphere will definitely have reached a climax, and Luo Mo, who is next, will find it very difficult to follow up.

"Teacher Zhao, you can go on stage now," a staff member guided from the side.

Zhao Xueqin smiled and nodded, then began to stride toward the stage.

The folk Yueqi band he had invited was already prepared on the stage.

The male audience members below all had their eyes fixed straight!

"Qipaos! So many Qipaos!"

The ones playing the flute, the ones playing the pipa, the ones playing the guzheng... they were all wearing Qipaos!

Of course, it was impossible for the entire band to be women; there were a few men inside wearing Tang suits, but they were automatically ignored by the male audience, becoming green leaves beside the flowers, or even... mud.

Sharp-eyed male audience members also discovered that flesh-colored stockings were paired under the Qipaos.

They sat elegantly one by one, legs together, then placed to one side; the visual impact was still quite significant.

In reality, these days, not only do men love looking at pretty young ladies, women love it too.

Who doesn't love a beauty?

So the barrage in the Live Broadcast had long since gone crazy.

"Ah! The one holding the pipa has such a great temperament!"

"The one holding the flute is number one!"

"Bullshit! The guzheng one's legs are the most beautiful!"

They actually started arguing...

Heavenly King Zhao went on stage at this moment, and enthusiastic applause erupted throughout the venue.

Although Heavenly King Zhao had lost these past few episodes, the quality of the songs and performances he brought was not low, and the audience loved watching them.

It wasn't that he was too weak, just that his opponents were too strong.

After he got into position and the intro sounded, everyone felt that this song was extraordinary.

"Whoa, bringing a band really makes a difference!"

"The band is one aspect, but the main thing is Yuan Hewen's composition and Arranger work!"

"That's right, a Heavenly King should put on a Heavenly King's display! This time he's not messing around with you all anymore."

"Rise up! This wave is rising up!"

Of course, some audience members also expressed that they felt this intro was still slightly inferior to "Laughter in the Vast Sea."

"I suggest you go listen to 'Laughter in the Vast Sea' first."

"I also feel it's still missing a bit of flavor."

But regardless, before Zhao Xueqin had even opened his mouth, everyone's expectations were already maxed out.

In the lounge, Luo Mo only had time to finish listening to half the song before he had to go to the waiting area to prepare.

He listened to the A-section of the song and nodded to himself.

In his heart, he was directly comparing Huang Zhan and those two Great God lyricists and composers.

"Yuan Hewen's music is fine, but I feel like maybe there are a bit too many Yueqi being used?" he thought.

There was a bit too much showing off of skills inside; after all, he wanted to prove himself.

Many people, in order to prove themselves, will constantly incorporate elements, using this to tell everyone that they can play with anything.

"From the perspective of the lyrics, Huang Xishan is still better suited to writing about love; it is indeed written very well, but it feels like it lacks a certain punch," Luo Mo thought.

He guessed in his heart that it was likely Huang Xishan was more accommodating to Yuan Hewen during the collaboration process, leaning toward his composition.

After all, it was Huang Xishan who took the initiative to bury the hatchet and invite the collaboration, so he certainly had to cooperate more.

The two had not yet reached a very high level of tacit understanding and had not brought out the strengths of both people.

But this song "Master" was certainly also a good song; the combination of the scene on stage and the Singing was quite shocking.

Especially the interlude part; the composition was still very clever, having a feeling of ocean waves crashing against a cliff.

It could make people imagine the scene of a master with his disciple standing on a cliff by the sea.

Perhaps they were practicing, or perhaps they were watching the vast sea and expressing their feelings.

A single interlude raised the style of the entire song by more than just a notch.

"The opponent is very strong," Luo Mo said in his heart.

But he still wasn't nervous.

Because his song's path was completely different from Zhao Xueqin's.

They all thought that Luo Mo might still be like the previous episodes, showing off his skills in composition and coming up with some high-level moves.

But Luo Mo had no such intention this time.

Because of certain special reasons, he only wanted to bring a simple song that could touch people's hearts.

The more flowery and skill-heavy you are, the stronger the contrast between the two will be.

A staff member knocked on the door, signaling that Luo Mo could head to the stage passage.

Luo Mo rose leisurely and looked outside the door, discovering that standing there were the three girls who had cried their eyes out while watching his rehearsal.

They had already prepared tissues in their pockets.

Intuition told them that if they listened to it again in a moment, combined with those visuals, they might still be shedding tears like rain.

(PS: First update. Rest assured, everyone, just because I posted three updates yesterday doesn't mean I'll only post one today; I'm not that unscrupulous.)

Additionally, thank you to "Sweet and Greasy Pork Belly" for the Alliance Leader donation! Let's see if there's a chance to achieve the Hundred Alliance Hegemony achievement in the future.)
