"Xiuxiu! I..." Hou Caixia was speechless, not knowing what to say.
"The sun is too strong here, let's talk inside the greenhouse. Hmm! Why are you still carrying luggage? Did you quit working at Miaomiao's place?"
Hou Caixia was also carrying a woven bag, which naturally contained her luggage.
Hou Caixia was overwhelmed with shame.
"Let's go! Let's go inside the greenhouse and get some fresh air. We can talk about it later."
"How could I possibly go in?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Just think of it as going back to your parents' home. Come with me!"
Xiuxiu snatched the luggage from Hou Caixia's hand and pulled Hou Caixia into the greenhouse.
"Sister Shuihua! Caixia is back."
Mu Shuihua was momentarily dazed when she saw Hou Caixia.
However, as the troupe leader, she had seen a bit of the world.
"Welcome back, Caixia."
“Sister Shuihua! I…” Hou Caixia was overwhelmed with emotion, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Sit down first, and talk things over slowly. Xiuxiu, get a bottle of water or a drink for Caixia."
Mu Shuihua inquired about Hou Caixia's life over the past few months.
Hou Caixia left for love. A few months ago, when Bi Sheng's dance troupe and the Meimiao dance troupe met in Donggou County, she fell in love at first sight with Hong Ge, a singer from the Meimiao dance troupe, and the two quickly got together.
Hou Caixia left Bi Sheng's dance troupe and joined the Wonderful Dance Troupe in pursuit of love.
However, what she didn't expect was that Brother Hong's love life was going to be more widespread. Not only did he have an ambiguous relationship with two actresses in the Wonderful Dance Troupe, but when the troupe returned to the hometown of the troupe's owner, Landi City, she discovered that Brother Hong was actually connected with a group of local gangsters and had illicit relationships with several female gangsters.
Unable to bear it any longer, Hou Caixia angrily left Meimiao, intending to go home and find a good man to marry.
But by some strange twist of fate, Bi Sheng's song and dance troupe also happened to arrive in Landi, and she happened to walk past Bi Sheng's residence.
Therefore, she is now sitting in the tent of Bi Sheng's dance troupe, pouring out her troubles to Mu Shuihua.
"If all else fails, come back. Bi Sheng Dance Troupe is your home, why don't you come back and make a living there?"
Given Mu Shuihua's past personality, once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled from a bowl; there is absolutely no possibility of her going back to her husband.
However, in the past month or so, for some unknown reason, perhaps due to the baby in her belly that is about to be born, or perhaps due to the influence of the environment, her state of mind has changed a lot. A large part of her hard-heartedness has been replaced by chivalry and tenderness, which led to her decision at this moment.
Hou Caixia was truly moved, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
“I hate seeing people cry. Xiuxiu! Take Caixia’s luggage to the bus and then show her around the dance troupe. I won’t see her cry then.”
After Mu Shuihua finished speaking, she returned to her small tent.
Xiuxiu helped Hou Caixia pack her luggage and then told her about the changes in the song and dance troupe.
“Sister Caixia! Our song and dance troupe has changed a lot now. No matter where we go, the performances are always sold out. It’s a pity that our tent is too small. It can only accommodate a maximum of 300 people per show.”
"Really?" Hou Caixia was somewhat surprised, as if the dance troupe's business had never been this good before.
"It's all because of Liang Liang's arrival. His band is rehearsing, let's go take a look."
Liang Liang and the Snowland Red Band rehearsed the accompaniment tracks for five songs in one go.
With the accompaniment of a good drum, everyone's enthusiasm soared, and no one complained of being tired while practicing.
"Our rehearsal went well today. Everyone, take a break and have some water or something."
Liang Liang put down his bass and saw Xiuxiu and a strange girl walking towards them.
"Sister Caixia is back!" The band members, who had just put down their instruments, immediately ran over and surrounded Xiuxiu and Hou Caixia, chattering like a flock of sparrows having a meeting.
Upon hearing the girls' shouts, Liang Liang knew who this strange woman was.
During his time with the song and dance troupe, he had also heard about Hou Caixia's story.
“Liang Liang! This is our former sister Caixia from the troupe!” Lanzhi pulled Hou Caixia to Liang Liang.
Liang Liang shook hands with Hou Caixia generously: "Hello, Sister Caixia! I often hear people in the troupe praising you, saying that you are both talented and beautiful, and kind-hearted."
Hou Caixia was a little embarrassed.
"Hello! Xiuxiu said that you are the current pillar of the group, full of talent. Sister Bi Sheng is returning and hopes to get your support."
Now that Hou Caixia has returned, she will naturally be performing on television programs.
Moreover, she was in a hurry and wanted to perform on stage that night, but her previous programs were clearly no longer keeping up with the pace of Bi Sheng's dance troupe, so she had to create new programs.
Liang Liang listened to Hou Caixia sing a song she used to sing called "Glass Heart".
Her voice is steady and has a wide range, but her high notes are not bright. She has a bit of the flavor of the male version of the original singer, Qi Qin, rather than the female version, Yang Lin, whose singing is as thin and sharp as a piece of glass.
This is somewhat similar to a singer named Milk Tea from Green Island.
Since I'm similar to her, I'll just sing her songs.
Milk Tea's signature song is "Crazy for Love," so we'll use that one.
This song was created by Milk Tea's mentor, who is a gambler. Liang Liang took his song directly without any psychological burden.
It's a pity that despite being a famous music producer, he hasn't actually created many songs that people can remember forever. Otherwise, Liang Liang would have taken them all, leaving him with nothing to make.
Can you read music?
Hou Caixia shook her head.
Here comes another one who can't read music, but that's alright. Almost everyone else in the troupe can read music now, so we'll just have them teach us.
Liang Liang wrote "Crazy for Love" in ten minutes.
Then he handed it to Ming Hongling: "You are responsible for teaching this song to Sister Caixia. I want to hear her sing it a cappella in twenty minutes, and then I will arrange the music."
Ming Hongling and the others started to read the music and hum along, while Liang Liang began to compose the music for the song.
He didn't use the original accompaniment version; he used the version with a rock style that Kim Ji-moon performed on The Voice of China.
He's quite busy; he handles all the drum, guitar, and keyboard tabs by himself. The only tab he doesn't have to write is the bass tab.
By the time he finished working on the sheet music, Hou Caixia had already sung the song several times.
Reflecting on her recent experiences, she was filled with mixed emotions, and thus poured her feelings into her singing.
"You have a great sense of connection with this song and you sang it with great passion. I think you must have your own unique understanding of this song."
After listening to Hou Caixia's performance, Liang Liang gave a brief comment.
Hou Caixia nodded silently.
"But in the chorus, you still didn't express your emotions well enough. You didn't achieve the kind of unrestrained catharsis I wanted. You could sing it a little more passionately, a little more hysterically, and then the song would be perfect, do you understand?"
Hou Caixia nodded.
