Chapter 196: Going Absolutely Crazy

Xu Chujing would never have guessed that the female technician... ahem, the female Psychologist, would actually come out with such an inner monologue.

In reality, so-called CP Fans are essentially just a group of children who love to find their own sugar to eat.

They search for high sugar content in all sorts of footage, and then begin to binge-consume it.

In fact, many CP Fans on the internet are just doing it for fun.

This brings joy and sweetness to their lives; it is actually quite similar to the feeling of watching a man and woman fall in love while watching a TV drama.

The only difference is the thrill—TV dramas are made by directors and screenwriters, but these, I am the one orchestrating them!

Returning focus to the stage, the song continues.

The song "Lovers of the World" has also been collaborated on by Hacken Lee and Zhou Shen; naturally, Zhou Shen was responsible for the female vocal parts.

Their cover version was also very pleasant to listen to, but the style was slightly different from the original.

The original version had a heavier sense of the Jianghu.

This "sense of the Jianghu" was also one of the reasons why Xu Chujing chose this song.

In her view, the song "Master" that Yuan Hewen and Huang Xishan collaborated on was perhaps inspired by Luo Mo's "A Laughter in the Sea," or perhaps they wanted to challenge themselves to defeat Luo Mo in the realm of the Jianghu.

Since they wanted to go head-to-head with him in a field containing Eastern elements, why not bring out another song with a heavy sense of the Jianghu!

—Jianghu matters, settled in the Jianghu.

What she wanted was to help Luo Mo completely crush them, without leaving them even a shred of face.

Luo Mo stood on the stage, looking at Xu Chujing in her red dress, and could only feel that the lights shining upon her made her look even more stunning.

This was a flower in its fullest bloom.

"When the flower is ready to be plucked, pluck it," if one wants to pick it, one must do it now.

The two locked eyes and continued their duet.

"【Love is a snowflake drifting down in the sixth month,

Withering before it even bears fruit.

Love is a tear that cannot be wiped away or burned out,

Turning to ash before it even congeals.

Only when the threads of passion are exhausted,

Does it appear that one time.

Only when the mortal world is shattered,

Does it allow people to fly together.】"

Up until this point, it was all harmony.

And based on the song's structure, everyone knows that the chorus, the climax of the song, is coming soon.

However, the Surprise was actually before the climax of the song!

In this song, the vocalization segment before the chorus is the true finishing touch that elevates the entire piece!

Xu Chujing experiencedly lowered her microphone slightly.

Then, she began a long vocalization.

Luo Mo remained there, providing harmony for her.

A "Ah—" lasting several seconds, with extremely distinct layers.

The professional judges all applauded and cheered, their faces showing excitement.

"This Singing technique! Too strong!"

"The Diva's ethereal voice is placed further back, while Luo Mo's harmony is placed further forward, giving one a sense of echoes in an empty valley."

"The sound is as if it is drifting from afar; this layering of harmonies is much stronger than Zhao Xueqin and Xu Lianying's from earlier!"

Looking at the technique and proficiency, the two seemed even more in sync.

After all, they had practiced for so many days, and Luo Mo had spent almost every afternoon at Xu Chujing's home.

A dignified Superstar Diva, in order to come and provide External Aid for him, had sacrificed several days of precious time.

It was just that she was enjoying it.

Just for this vocalization and harmony before the chorus, the two had practiced I don't know how many times.

It took countless practices to achieve that feeling of perfect fusion.

The audience watching the Live Broadcast did not expect the Surprise to come so suddenly.

"Ah! I'm listening with headphones at high volume; the layering is very strong, and it's blended so well, it's too good!"

"Jing's Singing technique is truly crushing everything!"

"From now on, please ban professional competitors from entering; being an External Aid isn't allowed either!"

"It feels like the sound is coming from the heavens!"

Just as the listeners were feeling moved, the song miraculously brought everyone back from the heavens to the Jianghu.

Because following the vocalization was an extremely resonant and powerful chorus:

"【Who understands the taste of it all!】"

The drum beats were very powerful at this moment, and the two sang with great rhythm.

Combined with the preceding vocalization, it could give first-time listeners goosebumps, and at the same time, they would feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

It's strange, some songs just sound satisfying!

That sense of wantonness and joy in the Jianghu seemed to be embodied at this very moment.

"So comfortable!" This was the thought that emerged in the hearts of the listeners.

This duet song "Lovers of the World," when it reached the chorus, actually switched from a duet to the man and woman singing separately.

Luo Mo sang first, and after more than a minute on stage, he finally stopped deliberately restraining his voice and went full throttle.

The vocal range of this song is relatively high, and when you sing it openly, you must also have a sense of ease, without the slightest bit of straining.

Just like a swordsman drawing their sword, clean and crisp.

He held the microphone and sang facing the camera:

"【Love is when the world first opens in a daze,

That rose that has already bloomed.】"

Xu Chujing followed up at this moment:

"【Love is breaking through the mortal world and gazing until the eyes grow weary, just because

Those who have loved do not speak of regret.】"

Luo Mo continued to raise the pitch, and this time it was his turn to sing again.

It was just that the two of them changed from facing the camera to facing each other to sing loudly.

This kind of back-and-forth actually gave off a sense of deep affection.

You must know that this song was made for *Shen Diao Xia Lu*, and in *Shen Diao Xia Lu*, before Yang Guo had mastered his divine arts, he and Little Dragon Maiden danced with swords together, and their dual-sword combination was one of their ultimate moves.

This kind of fast-paced duet really had the feeling of dancing with swords under the moon, as graceful as a startled swan!

The duet continued, and Luo Mo raised his hand while singing:

"【Love is a reincarnation that happens time and time again in a single lifetime,

No matter if it is in the southeast or the northwest.】"

Xu Chujing followed by raising her hand:

"【Love is one after another, bit by bit, right and wrong...】"

Just as their fingers were about to touch, the singing turned into harmony.

"【Teaching lovers that they can no longer—say goodbye!】"

The barrage of comments surged into a sea at this moment.

"Ahhhhh! They almost held hands!"

"So satisfying, this duet is so satisfying to listen to!"

"Yuan Hewen, come in and learn, this is what having a sense of the pugilistic world is!"

"Huang Xishan, look at how you are with love songs, why are you so pretentious, while others are so grand!"

"This feeling of back-and-forth is truly just like Romance!"

"Good Romance is exactly about being evenly matched like this!"

A guest appearance by a heavyweight Superstar can certainly make the audience feel Surprise, but the most important thing is still the quality of the song and the singing skills displayed by everyone.

This song, "Lovers in the World," is truly something an ordinary person cannot sing.

The starting notes are high and very airy, and as a result, in the climax, they can actually go even higher!

In other words, the overall trend is from very high to even higher!

Luo Mo and Xu Chujing stood on the stage, not needing any flashy things at all.

Even if you have two bands, so what?

We are enough relying on our voices!

Ke Ming in the backstage area immediately ordered the people below to give the other Singers a close-up shot during the instrumental interlude of the song to see their expressions.

The scene shifted, and one could see Sun Yi and the others showing shock and intoxication.

Too strong, Director Luo and Heavenly King Xu's singing skills are truly too strong.

How can these high notes be so steady, and how can the chorus be so harmonious!

Wei Ran and Li Ge were completely hyped up, the two old men dancing and gesturing.

Zhao Xueqin and Xu Lianying's expressions could not be called very ugly, but there was a feeling of forcing a smile regardless.

After all, if a Heavenly King like Zhao had acting skills, with his decent looks, he would have long since crossed over to act.

He wouldn't have to occasionally make guest appearances in movies, and as himself playing a big Singer, only to be roasted by netizens for his awkward acting.

Xu Lianying, on the other hand, increasingly harbored resentment toward Yuan Hewen and Zhao Xueqin in her heart.

"What are you doing, why did you invite me here to do what!" Xu Lianying was incomparably regretful.

She was originally at peace preparing her new album at the company; this show has nothing to do with me at all!

"If you want to lose face, why drag me along?" Xu Lianying was on the verge of tears.

Someone of her level should not have come to this kind of variety show in the first place.

To condescend to come, and then have to offer one's face to be slapped, this operation was truly too baffling.

Of course, Yuan Hewen, who was watching the Live Broadcast far away at home, had the ugliest expression.

He was even so angry that his lips were trembling.

This song made him more worried the more he listened, more worried the more he listened.

A collaboration of this level certainly could not achieve such an effect by just practicing casually.

They must have polished it together in private for a long time!

"A Luo Mo, by what right does he get Xu Chujing to condescend to come to a variety show to guest sing, and even spend several days polishing it with him!" Yuan Hewen could not understand it at all.

He knew very well that such high-difficulty songs usually belong to the kind of relationship where the creator and the performer achieve success through each other.

If it weren't for Xu Chujing singing it, the effect would mostly be greatly discounted!

Huang Xishan was watching the Live Broadcast at home, having quite a feeling of having escaped a disaster.

His emotions were like riding a roller coaster, very strange.

He originally felt that he had been kicked off the bus leading to success.

His heart was filled with Anger, grievance, and extreme discomfort.

Who would have thought, this was a bus seeking death...

"Yuan Hewen, oh Yuan Hewen, can you still laugh now?" Huang Xishan wore a smile on his face.

"You cannot beat this song, 'Lovers in the World'."

At the same time, for him, that dreamlike and illusory feeling was extremely intense.

The two had fought for over a decade, only to end up both being defeated by a Newcomer.

"It really won't do to not admit one is getting old; perhaps... it really is time to retire," Huang Xishan thought to himself.

………

………

At the center of the stage, the song entered the repeating B section.

With the accumulation and foreshadowing from before, when the song was sung for the second time, the sense of satisfaction could be further increased.

As the song ended, Luo Mo and Xu Chujing did not have any superfluous movements, just looked at each other and smiled.

Netizens shouted one after another: "Already took a screenshot!"

"Why do I feel like both of their smiles are very doting?"

Luo Mo was like this because he had been cooking every day during this period, and he felt he was a Heavenly Queen's feeder.

As for Xu Chujing, she was there to look after him, and with Baibaibai causing trouble, there was a sense of a Cat owner.

Just like the tone of the whole song, you come and I go, evenly matched.

The whole venue erupted in warm applause, and the professional jury stood up again in unison, clapping vigorously.

Ning Dan stepped onto the stage at this moment and took a deep look at the two.

In her impression, when Luo Mo was participating in "Creating Idols" and encountered 【Anti-Explosion】, Xu Chujing was unusually concerned and said she could help.

It was just that Ning Dan could handle it herself, so she did not trouble her.

She knew that Xu Chujing and Luo Mo should have a good relationship, but she did not expect that the two would look so compatible.

Jiang Ningxi, sitting in the audience, was also a bit dazed at this moment.

As mentioned before, Xu Chujing was her Idol; she greatly admired this kind of woman who focused on her career and was successful in it.

And Luo Mo's development was just so fast; he was already standing at a height she could look up to but not reach, collaborating on the same stage with her Idol-level figure, and not being inferior at all.

The professional jury naturally praised the two's performance profusely.

At the same time, Lv Yi also pointed out the importance and difficulty of Luo Mo's harmony.

The audience did not notice so much at first; perhaps they would have to wait until some audience members listened to this song more and tried to sing it themselves to know the difficulty level.

Listening to Lv Yi's words, Xu Chujing immediately picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Teacher Lv Yi is worthy of being a veteran creator and an old senior."

"This song looks like my voice is brighter, but in reality, most of the difficulties are concentrated on Luo Mo."

"He is the most talented among the new generation of creators I have ever seen."

"At the same time, he is the best singer among the Newcomer Singers."

"Sometimes I don't even feel like I'm here as a Guest Singer; I'm just here to accompany him to present a good work."

This woman was habitually 【Raising Status】 for Luo Mo again.

This was already the umpteenth time she had helped him 【Raising Status】.

Are you trying to make him match you in all aspects as soon as possible, so that he can sit on equal footing with you?

Ning Dan took over the conversation at this moment, smiled and said: "So you were moved by his talent, which is why you agreed to be a Guest Singer?"

Hearing this, Xu Chujing smiled and said: "It's not just talent, it's also because the saury was delicious."

As she spoke, she looked at Luo Mo.

Once these words were spoken, the whole venue was in an uproar.

The barrage surged again.

"They have a little secret! This interaction clearly shows they have a little secret!"

"Is it the saury Luo Mo made? I remembered 'Common Jasmine Orange'!"

"The taste of saury, the Cat and you both want to know."

"Wow, imagining this scene, a man and a woman, if there were a Cat, it would be perfect!"

"Lock it! Lock this CP for me! I swallowed the key!"

Ning Dan looked at the two in surprise; she knew that Xu Chujing lived in Yucheng Residential District, only separated from Luo Mo by one road.

If the two really had any interactions, it would indeed be extremely convenient...

At this time, amidst the urging sound in Ke Ming's earpiece, she said: "Alright, then let us see the final score of Singer Luo Mo and Xu Chujing is—"

Countless people began to hold their breath.

"97.3 points!" Ning Dan said loudly.

It surpassed Zhao Xueqin and Xu Lianying! And it surpassed them by quite a lot!

A new highest score in history appeared just like that.

After hearing the result announced, Zhao Xueqin sat on the chair, falling into endless despair.

Ning Dan said to the other singers: "Then, let us invite the singers to step onto the stage, and then have the General Director Ke Ming announce the final score and final ranking after combining the audience's votes!"

When Zhao Xueqin and Xu Lianying stood up, they were both a bit dejected.

It was basically impossible to win back the audience votes.

Standing together on stage now was like a public execution.

A group of singers and Guest Singers walked toward the stage; Xu Chujing grabbed Luo Mo's arm at this moment, then made him stand closer to her, leaning over by half a step.

Immediately after, she let go, as if nothing had happened.

"You belong here," she said softly.

Just like that, she brought Luo Mo and stood firmly at the C-Position in the very center of the stage; whenever anyone passed by, they had to go around the two of them and stand on either side.
