Chapter 135 (Updated 135)
One, three, five:
Yang Yu is very proud of himself lately.
Sure enough, there are no women who can't be won over, only women who haven't been approached with the right methods. If you use the right methods, even a rich young lady like Mu Shaoting will obediently stay with him.
Yang Yu had already planned it out: support and praise her during the auditions and preliminary rounds, then make her encounter setbacks when she was narrowed down from 100 to 60, and then comfort and accompany her.
With a series of combined punches, there's no doubt that Mu Shaoting will be tempted.
As for debuting, what a joke! She's already been chasing after the eldest daughter of the Mu family for so long. If she becomes a star, her ambitions will be so high that she might look down on me.
He would never give her that opportunity.
He wanted her to like him, not for her to actually make his dreams come true.
A woman should just stay at home and take care of her husband and children after marriage. Why should she be in the public eye? What if she cheats on her husband?
These rich heiresses are never as well-behaved as ordinary girls.
Thinking of this, Yang Yu couldn't help but think of He Han.
In his opinion, girls like He Han are more to his liking—well-behaved, sensible, obedient, and always agreeing with him; she practically wears her affection on her sleeve.
Unlike Mu Shaoting, who was spoiled and never cared about others.
However, Mu Shaoting's conditions are too good, far beyond what He Han can compare to.
Moreover, Mu Shaoting is beautiful!
She wasn't pretty in a delicate way, but rather stunningly beautiful, outshining all others.
This is what it means to be respectable to take out.
Therefore, as a marriage partner, Mu Shaoting should still be chosen.
As he was thinking, his phone suddenly rang.
Yang Yu picked it up and took a look, a smile creeping onto his lips.
It's Mu Shaoting; I've invited him to dinner tomorrow.
He said that his previous coldness and arrogance were all because he hadn't used the right methods. Look how proactive Mu Shaoting is now. He believed that it wouldn't be long before he became her boyfriend, and then they could live together, naturally have a relationship, and preferably have a child.
Once they have a child, he can practically become their husband.
In that instant, Yang Yu had almost decided on the child's gender and name.
He raised his hand and typed: 【Okay.】
Mu Shaoting replied to his message and then turned to Ye Qingxi, saying, "It's arranged, we'll have lunch together tomorrow."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
“Then baby, you can sit here and play games by yourself, and your aunt can practice singing for a while, okay? I haven’t practiced all day, and I feel uneasy about it,” Mu Shaoting suggested to him.
Ye Qingxi never intended to actually play the game; she had just made it up to trick her, so naturally she agreed.
He nodded and then asked, "Auntie, what's the name of the competition you signed up for?"
“The Voice of China,” Mu Shaoting replied.
Ye Qingxi said "Oh," picked up the game console, and said, "Auntie, you practice singing. I'll play by myself."
"Um."
Mu Shaoting then took out the sheet music that was under his pillow and started playing and singing it again.
Ye Qingxi listened quietly and noticed that the songs she was practicing now were mostly lyrical.
That makes sense. Her grandfather is home, and if she were to sing rock now, she might just bring him up on stage.
Mu Shaoting was already feeling guilty about participating in the competition, afraid that his family would find out, so naturally he didn't dare to practice singing too loudly in his bedroom.
but……
Based on Ye Qingxi's many years of experience in the entertainment industry, lyrical songs won't do in competitions; you have to electrify the audience. Only by creating a buzz and getting the audience's emotions stirred up can you get a high score.
Overly sentimental pieces might work in normal situations, but they won't be catchy enough during a competition.
However, this is only the preliminary selection for Mu Shaoting, so it's fine.
After all, her face is right there; the organizers wouldn't let her fail just because of it.
Moreover, in the original book, she was eliminated when it came down to the top 60 out of 100, so Ye Qingxi wasn't too worried about the preliminary selection.
Compared to the preliminary rounds, the hurdle of narrowing down from 100 to 60 is clearly more worrisome.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxi made an excuse to leave Mu Shaoting's bedroom and returned to Mu Shaowu's bedroom, where she picked up her tablet and started searching for "The Voice of China".
However, this program is a new show launched this year, this is the first season, and the registration has just been completed. There are only one or two reports online, and there is no substantial information.
Ye Qingxi sighed. The names of the judges weren't written in the book, and they weren't online either. He had originally planned to research the judges' preferences so that he could avoid their dislikes when choosing songs, lest Mu Shaoting run into trouble again and withdraw from the competition in tears.
Now, things are really messed up. Not only are there no confirmed judges, but there aren't even any judges rumored online, so there's no way to start.
What should we do?
Ye Qingxi rested her chin on her hand, looking somewhat worried.
Compared to him, Yang Yu was very happy.
He took a shower, chose what to wear tomorrow, and sent the restaurant for their date to Mu Shaoting, eager to chat with her.
Unfortunately, Mu Shaoting had been disturbed by Ye Qingxi all day and hadn't been able to practice singing. Right now, all he could think about was practicing singing.
I gave him a few perfunctory replies, saying I was practicing singing, and then I didn't reply to him anymore.
Yang Yu chuckled. This silly girl, she really thinks she can get any ranking.
How naive.
He sent a few words of gentle encouragement, played games for a while, and then went to bed.
Ye Qingxi was still thinking about Mu Shaoting's move to narrow down the list from 100 to 60.
Since the original book set up such a hurdle, it is very likely that even if he drove Yang Yu away, he would still make a mistake.
Firstly, the original book did not specify which song Mu Shaoting sang.
Therefore, he had no way to escape.
What if, after all the twists and turns, Mu Shaoting still chooses that obscure song that plagiarized a judge's song?
After all, he can't possibly listen to every song by every judge, can he?
Moreover, since it's described as an obscure song, it's very likely the kind of song that's easily overlooked and wasn't even included in the singer statistics.
Secondly, even if he insisted on not letting Mu Shaoting sing an unpopular song in order to avoid this plagiarism scandal, and chose a popular song instead, he might still have a grudge against another judge.
After all, this was an obstacle set up for her in the original book.
Ye Qingxi would rather make it difficult and guard against it strictly than take it lightly and deal with it casually.
The original author didn't take Mu Shaoting seriously, and Yang Yu even hoped something bad would happen to her. But he was different. He hoped that Mu Shaoting could finish the competition well, go on stage with anticipation, and leave happily. Ideally, she could win the championship and live up to her efforts and aspirations.
Ye Qingxi thought and thought, but she couldn't come up with a foolproof solution.
As he was thinking, he heard a knock on the door, and the next second, Mu Shaoting walked in.
"Baby, shouldn't you go to sleep?"
Ye Qingxi then looked down at his wristwatch and realized it really was time for him to go to bed.
"Go take a shower," Mu Shaoting said with a smile. "After you shower, your aunt will tell you a bedtime story."
Most of the time, whenever Mu Shaoting is home on weekends, he will coax him to sleep.
Looking at the gentleness on her face, Ye Qingxi nodded, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom.
He washed up quickly, and when he came out, he could still hear Mu Shaoting practicing a song. She seemed dissatisfied with the line she was singing, and practiced it repeatedly with her back to him before finally settling on the right way to sing it.
Ye Qingxi listened quietly, her eyes fixed on her.
After deciding on the singing style, Mu Shaoting turned around and found that he had already finished washing up.
She walked over and touched Ye Qingxi's hair, then took out a hairdryer from the cabinet and carefully started drying it for him.
The warm wind was gentle, just like her.
In Ye Qingxi's heart, his aunt has always been a very gentle person.
After drying her hair, Ye Qingxi went downstairs with her to Mu Feng's room.
—There's no other way; he also has to make sure his still vigorous grandfather goes to bed early.
The two entered the bedroom, and Mu Shaoting watched Ye Qingxi lie down on the bed. He then sat down on the edge of the bed and began to tell a bedtime story in a vivid and engaging manner.
It has to be said that she is indeed the most suitable person to tell bedtime stories among the three generations of the Mu family, even better than her father, her brother, and her nephew.
But Mu Shaoting wasn't born knowing how to tell bedtime stories.
In fact, she didn't need to tell him.
She was just his aunt, not his mother.
Mothers should be the ones telling bedtime stories to their children.
Aunt, however, has no such responsibility or obligation.
Ye Qingxi listened to her light and lively voice and watched the ever-changing expressions on her face as she told the story.
Her eyes were so gentle, and her emotions were so intense.
She wasn't engrossed in bedtime stories.
It was him.
She poured her heart into him.
At this moment, Ye Qingxi determined her way out of the predicament.
How to ensure that the lyrics and music are error-free and do not cause plagiarism controversies? It's very simple: as long as the creator is sure that they did not plagiarize, then it will naturally not be related to plagiarism.
How to ensure that this song will not cause any conflict with the other judges? It's simple: as long as it's a new song that the judges haven't heard before, there will naturally be no conflict.
As for how to ensure that the person who created it has not plagiarized and that it is also a new song, it is very simple. It is really simple, Ye Qingxi thought. As long as he takes out the song he once wrote and gives it to Mu Shaoting, it will definitely be a clean new song that no one has ever heard before.
After all, he didn't exist in this world before he transmigrated, so naturally there wouldn't be any songs he created himself.
Just to be on the safe side, Ye Qingxi even searched online, but found nothing.
His lyrics and his music are both blank.
Therefore, as long as Mu Shaoting sings his song during the round of 100 to 60, the hidden dangers in the lyrics and music will not occur.
Even his songs, after being tested by the market, are mostly hits, which might allow Mu Shaoting to make a name for himself right from the start.
The most crucial and important point is that he is not a native of this book; he is a time traveler, not part of the original author's writing. He is an "external force," which is why Mu Shaoting is most likely to break free from constraints and overcome the obstacles set for her by the original author under the influence of this "external force."
The more Ye Qingxi thought about it, the more she felt that this was the best solution.
Since he won't be performing on stage anyway, and the lyrics and music probably won't even be written under his real name but under a pseudonym, then he won't be considered to be re-entering the entertainment industry.
Ye Qingxi thought, as long as he doesn't go on stage again, as long as he doesn't appear on camera again, that's fine.
His behind-the-scenes work, such as songwriting and composing, will not affect his current life. He will still be an ordinary five-year-old child like everyone else.
They won't be ahead of their peers.
I won't be different from my peers.
Ye Qingxi found it difficult to accurately and objectively describe his current feelings.
He's always like this; when facing the entertainment industry, his lover with whom he constantly pulls and clashes with love and hate, his feelings are always very complicated.
In this complex situation, his identity as an actor brought him more entangled love and hate, while his identity as a singer was much easier and happier.
He spent far less time as a singer than as an actor.
His transition to singing at the age of fifteen was purely accidental, but it was unexpectedly successful. He gained new fans, new love, new encouragement and support, allowing him to stand where he had never been before and return to the peak of his popularity.
Fifteen-year-old Ye Qingxi was happy because that year, he rose from the depths of despair.
So Ye Qingxi, as a singer, was also happy, because he hadn't even had time to suffer before he left this world without any regrets.
Therefore, when facing his own songs and his past as a singer again, Ye Qingxi felt that he was not so unable to accept it.
even……
Ye Qingxi recalled the songs she had softly sung in the early hours of the morning, in the darkness, and during every sleepless night.
I even... miss it a little.
—That was a work he created himself, how could he not love it?
How could I not miss it?
