Chapter 189: That Pair of Cat Ears

On the sofa in the recording studio, the Singer Queen Xu Chujing was half-crouched, her calves pressed together and placed to the side, causing her originally loose white trousers to be pulled taut, thus becoming skin-tight.

The curves of her legs and hips were fully revealed.

At the waist and hips, and along the hips and legs, there were rises and falls.

One could see the Singer Queen tilting her head slightly forward, looking at Luo Mo's laptop.

"You prepared three songs?" She looked at Luo Mo in surprise: "Are they the medley songs you sang before on 'King of Love Songs'?"

Luo Mo shook his head and said: "No."

As he spoke, he also smiled and said: "It seems Jing is watching our show."

If it were a young girl, she might feel shy hearing this, but the older sisters certainly wouldn't.

She said with great poise: "I watch every episode. There are a few songs in your final medley that I quite like."

Luo Mo giving her three songs to choose from at once made her feel the full sincerity of the collaboration.

After finishing the lyrics and music for all three songs, and listening to the Demo that Luo Mo had casually recorded, the Singer Queen fell into silence.

"It's hard to choose," she said with a smile.

All three songs were top-tier works.

She raised her eyes to look at Luo Mo and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Can I choose not to choose?"

Although she had focused on crossovers in recent years and only released a few singles here and there, not having released an album in a long time, she still felt the thrill of the hunt after seeing these three songs.

Even by her super-high standards for song selection, these three songs could pass. Or rather, it wasn't just passing, but rather producing a strong impulse of "must have it."

Upon hearing the words of the Singer Queen Xu, Luo Mo nodded directly and said: "You can."

He did not hesitate in the slightest, nor was he just humoring her; he agreed verbally right then and there.

Luo Mo's expression was very serious, he only added one thing: "But I have one condition, I must be responsible for the male vocal parts."

Other male singers, no!

Xu Chujing smiled, nodded, and said: "Can do. Three duet songs, three different styles. I'm even starting to want you to be my Album Producer for once."

Luo Mo's expression was relaxed as he said: "Jing, that would be an extra cost."

After finishing, Luo Mo pointed to the computer screen and said: "Back to the point, Jing, let's finalize the song for the Semi-finals first."

Xu Chujing turned her gaze back to the computer and said: "What type of songs did you prepare for Sun Yi and Chen Shanqi?"

Luo Mo did not hide it: "Leaning towards Ancient Style and Chinese Style."

The audience had been looking forward to him writing such songs for too long, and Ke Ming had also been itching for it for a long time.

Upon hearing this, the Singer Queen nodded slightly and said: "Since Yuan Hewen still wants to battle you again, then these two songs you wrote for others will likely be compared as well."

Before coming, Luo Mo actually didn't know that the Ancient Style Great God Yuan Hewen wanted to be stubborn once more.

"What? You also want to be beaten into early retirement?" he thought to himself.

That he prepared this type of song for Sun Yi and Chen Shanqi could only be called a coincidence.

"Isn't that a coincidence," he said to Xu Chujing, with no trace of pressure or nervousness visible on his face.

This young man seemed to always be like this, a bit indifferent, a bit cynical, sometimes even cheeky, possessing a heart larger than one could imagine.

It was like this when he was being jointly 【Anti-Explosion】 by multiple companies, it was like this when he was being targeted by Pineapple of the Four Great Companies, and it was still like this when facing Great God lyricists and Heavenly Kings.

Yet, he won every time.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Chujing pointed to the first song and said: "I personally like this first song very much, I like it a lot, but it's not particularly suitable for a competition."

"The melody of this song is slightly flat, suitable for quiet listening; it's a song that touches the heart, but it stops at the right point without being overly sentimental."

"It is actually more suitable for a gala chorus."

Hearing this, Luo Mo expressed partial agreement; this song had indeed been performed on the Spring Festival Gala on Earth.

"Why not save it?" Xu Chujing tilted her head to look at Luo Mo.

"Sure, it was agreed that Jing would pick the songs." Luo Mo did not object.

"Then let's choose the second song." Xu Chujing made the final decision directly.

This made Luo Mo's expression turn fascinating in an instant.

The second one, it had a bit of ancient charm.

This meant that all three songs Luo Mo prepared for the Semi-finals were infused with ancient charm, which was equivalent to going head-to-head with Yuan Hewen.

His previous insistence on not using these types of songs to compete against "Master" was not because he was afraid, but because he couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

Even if he won, given the thickness of this person's skin, he might just say something like "the student surpasses the master," gilding his own face as the predecessor, and calling himself a guide and pioneer.

Using pop to defeat his Ancient Style would be even more brilliant.

But since this person actually brought his face forward, it was a little interesting.

"Didn't he say that you created Chinese Style by standing on his shoulders?" Xu Chujing smiled.

"Then don't just use pop music, let's defeat him in every aspect," she said to Luo Mo.

Yuan Hewen, you are not as good as him, I said it!

This Singer Queen, who was lazily leaning on the sofa, exuded an incomparable aura and said calmly: "No matter who they invite to help sing, I can help you win."

A top-tier Singer Queen of the music scene, possessing sufficient confidence and self-assurance!

—Looking down on everything, crushing everything!

"Okay," Luo Mo agreed.

Created Chinese Style on your shoulders, you say?

I wonder if you, bearing the brilliant civilization of an entire world, can your shoulders even carry it?

Since you seek death, then I shall grant your wish.

So that you may know—my fate is determined by me, not by heaven.

…….

…….

Luo Mo spent the entire afternoon at the home of the Heavenly Queen.

The two practiced singing in the recording studio and gradually found their rhythm.

Xu Chujing's singing skills once again deeply shocked Luo Mo; a top-tier Heavenly Queen is indeed a top-tier Heavenly Queen. He had felt it when they sang "Red Actor" together, but this experience was even more profound.

Because the key part of "Red Actor" lies in the Opera Singing, which was mainly Luo Mo's responsibility, this song is different; instead, the female vocal part requires sufficient vocal range and pitch accuracy to support it.

What he did not know was that Xu Chujing also held him in higher regard.

"This song may seem to have a brighter female vocal part, but in reality, the male harmony is extremely difficult, and it is the many harmonies that prop up the entire song." She was very clear about this in her heart.

Luo Mo did very well in this regard, and she felt very comfortable during the process of singing together.

She is also a person with Absolute Pitch and could feel that during the process of grinding and fitting, Luo Mo improved very quickly and soon found the best way.

He did not need her to offer any opinions, nor did he need her to provide any guidance.

On the contrary, it was Luo Mo who felt she didn't handle one part very well, though Heavenly Queen Xu initially felt there was nothing wrong with how she sang it.

But when she tried it once according to what Luo Mo said, she immediately and keenly felt that the latter seemed to be more effective.

"I was actually given pointers by him." Xu Chujing was surprised.

Before they knew it, it was almost dark, and it was already past five o'clock.

"Shall we stop here for today?" Luo Mo asked.

"I have no objections," Xu Chujing said.

"Then... how about I treat Jing to a meal?" He issued a dinner invitation.

Xu Chujing fell into a dilemma.

This Heavenly Queen, who seems to have an invincible aura, is actually very much a homebody when not working.

Some stars in the circle have very exciting private lives, but a small portion of people prefer to enjoy a plain personal life because they are in the public eye too much when working.

Not to mention that for a Superstar with such high National Popularity, going out is already very troublesome.

In her daily life, Xu Chujing prefers to listen to music, watch movies, and read books at home.

She also likes to assemble Lego and puzzles; in one room, there is an entire glass wall of Lego she assembled, and the other side is covered with puzzles.

Therefore, she said: "How about this, I'll have someone come to the house to cook."

"Ah? Are there any ingredients at home?" Luo Mo asked.

"No," Xu Chujing replied.

Luo Mo thought for a moment and suggested: "Then why not go to my place? I have ingredients at home, and it's just across the street."

After saying this, he seemed to remember something and said: "There are still two saury in the refrigerator."

After "Common Jasmine Orange" became a hit, his two younger brothers, Tong Shu and Li Junyi, bought several saury to gift to their Boss as a congratulation.

Don't forget, when Xu Chujing did a friendly promotion for "Common Jasmine Orange" on Weibo, the text she edited was: "I want to eat saury."

Luo Mo had seen it and kept it in his heart.

Hearing these words, for some reason, Xu Chujing felt incredibly moved and felt that she simply couldn't refuse.

——The taste of saury, the Cat and you, both want to understand.

…….

…….

Since it had been decided to dine at his home, Luo Mo put his laptop into his bag.

Passing by the living room again, he only then noticed that a pair of furry cat ears were placed in the glass display cabinet in the living room.

"Huh, aren't these the ears Jing wore when filming 'Cat Demon'?" Luo Mo said.

Xu Chujing followed his gaze to the incredibly realistic cat ears in the glass cabinet and said: "After 'Cat Demon' wrapped up, I brought the whole set home to keep as a collection."

Hearing this, Luo Mo thought to himself: "Doesn't that mean the night-walking outfit worn by the Cat Demon is also at home?"

He braked in time to avoid his imagination running wild.

"Can I take a look?" Luo Mo asked, looking at the cat ears.

He had been very curious when he went to film, wondering how this thing was put on and how it was made to look so realistic.

Most importantly, it could even move.

"You can," Xu Chujing said.

Luo Mo took the cat ears out of the display cabinet and played with them in his hands.

"High-end stuff," he judged in his heart.

Watching his hands constantly kneading the cat ears, his fingertips brushing over them from time to time, and his palms turning them over and over, for some reason, she began to feel numb all over, and the tail end of her voice carried an imperceptible tremor:

"Don't, don't touch them anymore."
