A million-subscriber UP owner from Blue Star, Xu Yanyu, transmigrated to a parallel world and became a traffic star criticized by the entire internet.

Her company wanted her to comply with a ...

Chapter 221 "If I Were A Boy"

After Xu Yanyu finished telling Wei Li the song she was going to play, she gave him a meaningful look.

When Wei Li saw Xu Yanyu's familiar gaze, the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end.

Xu Yanyu looked like this during her live stream.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Upon hearing this, both Meng Fangchun and Xiao Zhi, who had been silent, looked intently at Xu Yanyu.

Xu Yanyu took a deep breath, and then her fingers began to play lightly on the piano.

A lyrical and slow melody flowed gently through the practice room.

"The prelude is beautiful," Wei Zhisheng whispered to Tan Zhifu beside him.

"Not only is the prelude beautiful, but Xu Yanyu's piano playing skills are also excellent."

Her piano skills are comparable to those of professional pianists. Tan Zhifu has won championships in international piano competitions and later studied at music academies abroad.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Yanyu started playing the piano, Tan Zhifu noticed that Xu Yanyu's piano playing level was very high.

This surprised Tan Zhifu, as Xu Yanyu's piano skills were certainly good enough to develop in the field of piano.

Director Wu had been paying close attention to the experts' movements. He exclaimed in surprise, "Yan Yu's piano playing skills are so good?"

Tan Zhifu nodded, his attention gradually drawn to the music played by Xu Yanyu.

Xu Yanyu was already immersed in the melody flowing from her fingertips.

"If I Were A Boy" is a song sung by the older generation of American female singer Beyoncé Gisele North, a song with deep emotion and wide resonance.

It's a very listenable piece of music, and the whole song tells a very profound story.

After the light and cheerful prelude was played, Xu Yanyu's steady and powerful voice rang out.

[If I were a boy, Even just for a day.

(If I were a boy, even if the deadline was only one day.)

【i'd roll out of bed in the morning,

And throw on what I wanted and go

(I'll get out of bed early in the morning, slip on a comfortable outfit, and head out.)

...

Meng Fangchun nodded. The lyrics were interesting, just as they expressed, imagining herself as a boy.

Xiao Zhi's English is quite good; she understood all the lyrics Xu Yanyu sang.

She looked at Xu Yanyu with a sigh.

Teacher Yan Yu is indeed very talented; she has never posed as a man from a female perspective in any of her songs.

Xiaozhi couldn't help but wonder how wonderful it would be if she were a boy.

No need for periods, no need for childbirth.

Thinking about my mom's recent pressure to get married, if she were a man, it seems like she wouldn't need to leave home to live in another unfamiliar family.

But once you become a man, it seems like the responsibilities are even heavier.

Sure enough, the teacher's lyrics were exactly as Xiaozhi had imagined, depicting a boy indulging in debauchery with his buddies.

Wei Zhisheng heard the phrase, "Drink beer with the guys, and chase after girls."

(He was out partying with his buddies, chasing after the beauties he liked on the street.) A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

The soothing melody is like telling the story of many men's past experiences; those carefree days of youth are worth remembering for a lifetime.

Wei Li's face broke into a smug smile; he'd always been like this!

Xu Yanyu's songs are indeed very charming and can resonate with everyone.

But then Xu Yanyu's voice suddenly became high-pitched.

Her hands, which were striking the piano keys, became stronger, and she sang with her head held high, the veins on her neck clearly visible.

【i ow it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better man.

How to love a girl? I swear I will become a better man.

I'd listen to her, cause I know how it hurts

I will listen to everything she has to say, because I understand how painful it is to be alone.

...

Wei Li's expression changed, and he looked at Xu Yanyu with some panic.

No, this song...

Xu Yanyu should not be allowed to sing this song. This song is not about men having a life of debauchery; it is an accusation of men's selfishness.

His wife already liked listening to Xu Yanyu's songs, and if his wife heard this song by Xu Yanyu...

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Wei Li shouted, "Xu Yanyu, stop singing!"

Everyone, still immersed in the song, was startled by Wei Li's sudden voice.

Everyone looked at Wei Li, wondering what he was trying to say.

Director Wu doesn't understand English, but he thinks Xu Yanyu's song is beautiful.

It is emotionally rich and has a strong rhythm.

More importantly, Xu Yanyu's singing was very moving and much better than the song Wei Li sang earlier.

So, did Wei Li prevent Xu Yanyu from singing this song because his own song couldn't compare to Xu Yanyu's?

Director Wu, who felt he had guessed Wei Li's thoughts, grabbed Wei Li's hand and whispered, "Don't make a fuss! Listen carefully. I think Xu Yanyu sings this song quite well."

Wei Li shook his head repeatedly, "No, we can't let her sing this song."
