Kyoto University, Lin Ling and her husband live in a rented house off campus.
Fan Yu sat on the sofa, snuggling closely with his wife, with one end of the earphones in his right ear and the other in Lin Ling's left ear.
This has been a habit the two of them have had since they met.
Whenever Lin Yao releases a new song, they will both listen to it together.
In addition to Lin Yao, Lin Ling's husband Fan Yu also likes Cheng Tianlin and Wan Mu.
Especially the song "Queen", Fan Yu played it on repeat for a week and even set it as his cell phone ringtone.
From then on, Fan Yu became a fan of Wan Mu, often going to Wan Mu's Weibo to "urge for more updates". He even said to Lin Ling with certainty:
"I think Wanmu is Fang Xiaole!"
In this regard, Lin Ling just thought it was her husband's fan filter. She felt that her favorite singer had never been popular, so she subconsciously wanted to take advantage of Fang Xiaole's popularity.
But what's so good about riding on Fang Zei's popularity?
Is it fun to be stabbed by razor blades sent to you every day?
As soon as Wan Mu's new song came out today, Fan Yu bought it without hesitation, and then called Lin Ling to listen to it with him.
In fact, Lin Ling refused at first. She was preparing to take a certification exam recently and had to go to the library to review in the evening.
However, seeing her husband's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear it and finally agreed to listen to it with him once and then leave.
Then,
Half an hour passed.
Lin Ling, who was originally holding a book and was ready to go out after listening to it once, the book in her hand disappeared, and she fell deeply into her husband's arms.
The eighth playback ends.
Lin Ling raised her head and looked at the time.
"Going to the library? Let me take you there."
Fan Yu looked out the window and saw that it was getting dark.
"Who said I was going to the library? Keep playing."
Lin Ling said as a matter of course, and then leaned her head on Fan Yu's shoulder.
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Fan Yu was stunned, picked up his phone and clicked play again.
Ten minutes later.
After listening to it for the tenth time, Lin Ling finally took off her headphones.
"It's already dark, do you still want to go to the library?"
Fan Yu asked.
"No, I want to see how this song performs."
Lin Ling picked up her phone and checked the rankings.
"Aren't you indifferent to Wan Mu? Why are you still concerned about the performance of his new song?"
Fan Yu laughed.
In fact, he doesn't pay much attention to things like rankings, and Wan Mu boasted too much before, saying that one song can beat six other people's songs. Even he, a fan, feels that there is no hope.
Instead of feeling sad when seeing that your grades are so far behind, it is better to listen to music quietly and be happy.
"I really like this song. It's about steady happiness. I feel like Wanmu sang it just for the two of us, and..."
Lin Ling's eyes flickered as she murmured:
"I think Wan Mu's singing is very good, his voice is beautiful, and the song is well written. Such a good song shouldn't lose to a lousy song that has no sincerity and only knows how to cheat fans."
Fan Yu was a little surprised. Lin Ling was gentle and introverted, and she loved listening to music. She rarely said unpleasant words like "bad song".
But he quickly understood his wife's feelings. When you hear a very classic song that is sung very well, you will want to see it achieve good results.
This will give you a sense of accomplishment like a spiritual shareholder.
"Steady Happiness" is such a classic work.
Although the melody is a bit slow, the lyrics and music are very down-to-earth, with a sense of lasting stability in the plainness, just like every ordinary person's most simple expectation for life:
All I wish for in life is peace and happiness.
Wan Mu's singing is also excellent, with a magnetic baritone that seems to be whispering an ordinary story in your ear.
As you listen, you will be immersed in it.
Moisturizing things silently, this is the highest level of slow song.
In comparison, Zhang Xuyuan’s so-called new song really seems to be neither a melody nor a song, especially the gap between the singers is too big.
It's like,
An ordinary person who can only sing in tune in KTV compared to the best singer of the Golden Melody Awards.
But those so-called fans chose to support this person who can hardly sing. This blind and heartless behavior will inevitably make bystanders feel confused and angry, and then hope that the real singer can get the achievements and respect he deserves.
At this time, Lin Ling also became one of those angry bystanders.
"It doesn't matter, actually. Except for Zhang Xuyuan's fans, everyone knows who sings better. That's enough. Rankings and such are irrelevant."
Fan Yu instead began to comfort Lin Ling, because he knew that with Wan Mu's popularity, even if he sang well, it would be impossible for him to be on the charts...
"ah!!"
Lin Ling suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Fan Yu was startled and subconsciously thought that his wife had hit herself somewhere.
"Fan Yu, you, look."
Lin Ling's face flushed and she excitedly showed her phone to Fan Yu.
The next second, Fan Yu's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Lin Ling's phone screen shows the current situation of the two rankings:
New Songs Chart.
First place: "Steady Happiness", Wan Mu.
Second place: "Love Elf", Xu Ningxin.
Third place: "Fortress", Zhang Xuyuan.
Hot Songs Chart.
First place: "Love Elf", Xu Ningxin.
Second place: "Steady Happiness", Wan Mu.
Third place: "Fortress", Zhang Xuyuan.
In just two hours, "Steady Happiness" rushed to the top of the new song chart, knocking down Xu Ningxin's new song which had dominated the chart for a week, while Zhang Xuyuan, who was originally ranked second, fell to third.
On the hot song chart, Wan Mu was also unstoppable, with "Steady Happiness" easily surpassing "Fortress". If it weren't for the fact that Xu Ningxin's new song had been online for a long time and the accumulated sales were high enough, it would probably have suffered the same fate of being kicked off the top of the chart.
"How is that possible?"
Lin Ling and Fan Yu looked at each other, both a little confused.
Wan Mu's songs are indeed very classic, but his popularity is not enough. It should take time for his reputation to spread. How could he surpass Zhang Xuyuan in such a short time?
After all, Zhang Xuyuan has so many crazy fans helping him boost sales!
Where is Wanmu?
The number of fans he has is not even enough to fill other people's teeth.
So, what exactly happened?
Could it be that Aiyao Studio is trying to boost Wanmu’s sales for the sake of face?
Lin Ling and Fan Yu began to check everything that had happened on the Internet in the previous two hours with excitement and confusion.
After more than ten minutes, the two of them looked at each other, and then they showed a look of sudden realization.
It turns out that the reason why "Steady Happiness" easily crushed Zhang Xuyuan's new song was so simple.
