Chapter 153: She's here to cause trouble!

The lights were in place, and soft music began to play.

On stage, only Ye Qing remained.

A large blue light washed over her, making her look like a fairy in the night sky, clear yet with a visual blur.

"Why are you insisting on letting her sing?"

Backstage of the show, the director turned and asked the music director.

Because just now, Director Zhang Meng had planned to let Ya Ya cut off the topic, prevent Ye Qing from speaking, and end the show right there.

This would also leave a suspense, and there would still be plenty of room to discuss and decide later.

This was the safest approach, keeping the heat and topic alive without causing him serious trouble he couldn't bear.

But at that moment, the music director stood up and strongly opposed, insisting that Ye Qing continue singing!

At that urgent moment, seeing the music director's firm attitude, Zhang Meng impulsively agreed.

Only then did he turn back to ask the director.

The music director said: "Because I've heard her sing it before, this song is really good."

According to the music director's idea, the hot topic of this episode should have already appeared.

But unexpectedly, Lu Jia Jia messed it up, almost making it irreparable.

You have to know that if Lu Jia Jia didn't raise an objection, Ye Qing wouldn't have volunteered to sing, and if he had forcibly interfered, the show would have failed, lacking such strong appeal.

But Lu Jia Jia did raise an objection, and Ye Qing then stepped forward accordingly.

It was as if it had been planned in advance!

And at that moment, Ye Qing's voice sounded on stage, transmitted through the ear mic to Director Zhang Meng's ears.

He immediately froze.

The song was still the same, the melody the same, but Ye Qing's singing was completely different from Lu Jia Jia's!

It was actually somewhat pleasant to listen to?

No, not just somewhat pleasant, it was very pleasant!

As soon as Ye Qing opened her mouth, Director Zhang Meng felt his emotions being drawn in!

That sense of carefree helplessness blossomed in his chest.

For a moment, it disrupted his breathing.

The director stared blankly at the monitor, which showed the live-stream room.

At that moment, the live-stream room had tens of thousands of viewers, but the bullet comments were still fewer than the initial thirty to fifty thousand.

But the director wasn't worried at all; as an experienced director, he knew that these tens of thousands of viewers weren't sending bullet comments because they were captivated by the song and listening attentively.

The four judges on site all raised their eyebrows, showing expressions of nodding approval.

It seemed to have that meaning.

Su Manyao's eyes also flashed, thinking that this song was actually like this.

Before, it had been completely ruined by Lu Jia Jia's singing, which had led her astray.

But in Ye Qing's voice, she also heard a hint of something off.

Still the same saying: the shoe doesn't fit the foot.

Like a size 36 foot wearing a size 37 shoe.

Many in the audience covered their mouths, showing surprised expressions as they watched Ye Qing on stage.

"Blame me for being too greedy for merit and power,"

"blame the world's beings for being too beautiful,"

"regret the past for being too steadfast in promises,"

"becoming enamored with joy, sorrow, resentment, and jealousy."

"Ah, reluctant to leave the dazzling mundane world."

"Ah, cannot escape."

Ye Qing stood at the center of the stage, half-squinting her eyes, singing passionately.

He stood beside the stage the whole time, together with Ya Ya; originally they were supposed to go backstage, but Jiang Cheng was a little worried about Ye Qing.

So he didn't follow the show's arrangement, but stood at the exit connecting the stage to the backstage.

Ya Ya, as the host, also stood here.

While Ye Qing was just singing, Ya Ya kept patting Jiang Cheng.

She whispered to Jiang Cheng: "I didn't expect you could write songs in this style; they're really nice."

After hearing Ye Qing's performance, Ya Ya also understood.

This song isn't badly written by Jiang Cheng; it's just that Lu Jia Jia simply can't sing it.

Jiang Cheng smiled at her, but his attention was fully on Ye Qing's singing. This was the first artist signed by his studio, and just now he had stepped forward to take the blame for him, but he couldn't mess up here.

Otherwise, participating in this show would be meaningless.

Seeing Jiang Cheng's smiling response, Ya Ya moved a little closer, worried he couldn't hear clearly, and speaking softly beside him: "If you have time, can you teach me to sing this song?"

"I also like the song you wrote last time, but I just can't sing it well."

Jiang Cheng nodded, raised his eyebrows, and said: "If you have time, it's completely fine."

Ya Ya was very happy, saying: "It's a deal!"

"Let's go sing at KTV!"

Of course, at that moment, Jiang Cheng's expression changed.

Indeed!

Ye Qing still had a problem.

!

He heard Ye Qing's voice already trembling, his breath couldn't keep up.

But the first half of this song, the pitch was actually still okay.

The second half is not something ordinary people can sing.

"Can your mic still work?" Jiang Cheng asked quickly.

"Ah?"

Ya Ya glanced at the microphone in her hand, a bit slow to react.

"It works."

"Give it to me."

Jiang Cheng reached out, took the microphone from Ya Ya's hand, then quickly walked toward the stage.

Because the stage lights were all turned off, only a single spotlight shone on Ye Qing.

So the audience on site and the cameras in the livestream couldn't see Jiang Cheng's figure.

They only felt hearing his voice overlap with Ye Qing's voice.

"Ah, unable to escape the comfort of obsession."

"Ah, cannot find a substitute for lust."

"Huh?"

"How did another voice appear?"

Whether the audience on site or in the livestream, this question came to their minds.

Ye Qing also suddenly turned her head.

She recognized it, that was the boss's voice!

The boss Jiang Cheng's voice!

She immediately pulled the microphone away from her mouth, lowering her voice.

Only Jiang Cheng's voice remained.

And Jiang Cheng then walked out of the shadows, standing beside Ye Qing.

Light shone on him.

Everyone saw clearly, that was Jiang Cheng!

"Jiang Cheng really came out?"

"I was just getting into it, and he comes out to cause trouble?"

"Damn it, I hate it—after finally getting to hear a song I wanted to listen to, why does he come out to cause trouble?!"

"I feel Jiang Cheng came out to save the scene, because just now I heard Ye Qing's voice lacking some breath!"

"Come on, stop bragging, Jiang Cheng is just a songwriter, what scene could he save?"

"He probably got scolded by fans earlier, feeling unhappy, and now wants to find some sense of existence!"

After all, there are many people in the livestream, and many idle folks like to type.

But the venue was very quiet, everyone was watching Jiang Cheng on stage.

And Jiang Cheng's breath didn't break; he stood in the light, gazing at Ye Qing, following the melody, lyrics pouring from his mouth.

"Ah, I spend a lifetime pondering this riddle yet cannot fathom it"

"Swallowing wind, kissing rain, burying the setting sun, never wavering."

"Defying mountains, chasing seas, treading snowy paths, never despairing."

"Pinching flowers, pouring wine, favoring to break worldly passions into madness."

"Relying on these two eyes, even a hundred or a thousand hands cannot defend against."

"And the rhythm and pitch of this passage suddenly surged upward!"
