Chapter 159, Third Update
159:
Of course I like it!
Ye Qingxi quickly and "cooperated" by taking it.
Mu Shaowu then moved closer to him.
This is a song in the style of [unclear], but the dark parts are not very obvious, so it is not scary at all, but rather quite story-like.
At least Mu Shaoting himself couldn't see where the darkness was.
"I like it," Ye Qingxi replied after looking at it once.
Mu Shaowu also thought it was alright, except that he couldn't read the sheet music.
"How do you sing this song?" he asked Mu Shaoting.
Mu Shaoting didn't hesitate; looking at the lyrics, he began to hum along softly.
The first half of the song is light and cheerful, but it gradually rises in the middle. When the chorus arrives, it suddenly reaches a climax, full of high notes and skill. After the climax, the style returns to the light and cheerful feel of the first half.
It's catchy and also great for showcasing singing skills.
"Xiao Xi will sing the beginning, I'll sing the middle, and we'll sing the ending together," Mu Shaoting roughly divided the songs.
Ye Qingxi thought so too.
Mu Shaowu didn't know much about music, but he had heard the high notes and constantly shifting tones in Mu Shaoting's chorus, so he agreed that the chorus was indeed too difficult for his five-year-old son.
"Xiao Xi, I remember you can play the piano, right?" Mu Shaoting asked him.
Ye Qingxi nodded.
“Starting tomorrow, I will teach you to play this song on the piano, and then we can play it together.”
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi felt it was unnecessary. He had played this song hundreds of times, so why did he need to learn it? He could play it with his eyes closed.
However, he couldn't say that, so he could only nod and say, "Okay."
"Did Murong Qing write these songs for you too?" Mu Shaowu asked his sister.
Mu Shaoting nodded. "Isn't he still very talented?"
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu nodded reluctantly.
Although he still found Murong Qing to be a strange person, like a ticking time bomb, so far, it seemed that he really only wanted to help his sister.
"Let's wait and see," Mu Shaowu thought. "If the other party really has ill intentions, they'll start causing trouble soon, especially since the finals are almost here. At that point, the Mu family won't be easy to bully!"
Mu Shaoting made copies of the lyrics and music for Ye Qingxi, then sang it carefully, recorded it, and sent it to Ye Qingxi.
“Baby, listen first, and I’ll teach you word by word tomorrow afternoon.”
Ye Qingxi, who had long since stopped enjoying singing: ...
"Okay," Ye Qingxi said with a smile.
So the next morning, while eating breakfast, Ye Qingxi told Mu Shaoyan, "Uncle, I can't go to Duan Yi's house for lessons with you recently."
"Why?" Mu Shaoyan asked him.
We've survived the coldest winter, so why aren't we going to enjoy the warm spring?
"Because Xiaoxi wants to practice singing with me," Mu Shaoting said with a smile.
Mu Shaoyan: ? ? ?
"ah?"
“After your sister finished the top five to top three competition yesterday, the production team announced that there would be a guest performance segment in the final round. Your sister took an unconventional approach and chose to have my dear son, your dear nephew, perform as her guest. So in another two weeks, you will see your nephew on TV,” Mu Shaowu explained to him.
Mu Shaoyan: !!!
Mu Shaoyan looked at Ye Qingxi in shock.
Ye Qingxi smiled and said, "Mm."
Mu Shaoyan: !!!
Mu Shaoyan turned to Mu Shaoting and said, "Give me two tickets for the finals. I'll come over and cheer you both on."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ? !!!
This shocked Ye Qingxi. "You're not doing practice problems anymore?"
"This is your first time performing on stage! Your first time on TV! Of course your uncle has to go and cheer you on! It's okay if you don't check it for a day."
Ye Qingxi: ...
“There’s no need for all that trouble,” Mu Shaowu laughed. “Since Dad’s going too, we can just bring you along.”
Mu Shaoyan: !!!
Mu Shaoyan looked at his elderly father in shock, "You're going too?"
Mu Feng: ...
Mu Feng thought they were just too talkative.
"Eat your food."
Mu Shaoyan clicked his tongue, "You actually go to a place like this? Don't you always look down on these kinds of competitions?"
Mu Feng: ...
"If I say that again, you don't need to go."
Mu Shaoyan immediately muted his microphone and lowered his head to eat.
Ye Qingxi almost burst out laughing.
That's right, so in that case, wouldn't only his father be the only one not going?
Ye Qingxi silently looked at his adoptive father; he didn't believe it.
Knowing his father as he does, how could his father not join in the fun?
Especially since his aunt and uncle are both there, it would be fine if his dad couldn't come back because he was filming, but since he's back, he'll definitely go too.
I just don't know what form it will take.
Ye Qingxi thought for a moment and figured it was probably the legendary bearded uncle again.
Sigh, being a top influencer can be quite troublesome sometimes.
After Ye Qingxi finished explaining to Mu Shaoyan,
Over there, Pei Liang and the others' eyes lit up as soon as they saw him, and they asked him, "Ye Qingxi, are you going to be on TV?"
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi asked, puzzled, "How did you know?"
“My grandpa told me,” Pei Liang said. “Your grandpa and my grandpa were supposed to have dinner together next Sunday, but your grandpa suddenly said he couldn’t come. When my grandpa asked why, he said that you and your aunt were going to participate in a singing competition, so he had to go to your place. My grandpa watched your aunt’s singing competition on TV a few days ago, so you’ll be on TV too, right?”
Ye Qingxi: Oh, I see.
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Mm."
"Wow, that's amazing!" Kang Cong exclaimed admiringly. "I've only ever sung on the kindergarten stage, I've never sung on TV before!"
"Ye Qingxi, what song are you going to sing?" Zhong Yan asked curiously.
Ye Qingxi blinked. "My aunt said it's a secret~"
“I know that.” Pei Liang patted his chest. “Your aunt’s song is…”
He thought for a moment and finally remembered, "Original! Yes, that's the word. We'll only know what kind of song it is during the competition."
"Yes," Ye Qingxi affirmed.
"Then we'll come and cheer you on!" Kang Cong said enthusiastically.
Zhong Yan hugged him. "I've already talked to my grandfather. I'll go with him."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
No, why did you go with him?
He...he's going too?!
"Your grandfather is going too?" Ye Qingxi asked, puzzled. What was her grandfather going there for?
“Okay.” Pei Liang answered for Zhong Yan, “My grandpa and Grandpa Kang are going too, we’ll cheer you on together.”
Ye Qingxi: !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
Ye Qingxi repeatedly refused, "No, no, no."
What are you doing?!
It wasn't his competition; he was just a guest performer!
That's not fair!
“It’s okay.” Pei Liang put his arm around his shoulder. “You don’t need to be embarrassed. I’ve never been to a TV station before. I might as well go and take a look.”
"Exactly!" Kang Cong said expectantly. "I wonder what it's like to sing on TV?"
"Ye Qingxi, sing well!" Zhong Yan encouraged.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi felt a bit overwhelmed.
At noon, Mu Shaowu picked him up from school, and they ate lunch together with Qin Cheng and Mu Zheng.
Mu Shaowu naturally told his older brother about the latest and biggest event that had happened in the family.
Ye Qingxi immediately sensed something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next second, Mu Zheng said, "Shao Ting has already made it to the finals?"
“I was busy with my own things during her previous competitions, so I didn’t have time to go over. Now that it’s the finals and Xiao Xi is going to play, I, as her older brother’s uncle, have to make time to go over.”
Ye Qingxi: ...Well, let him tell us.
Ye Qingxi quickly replied, "No need, Uncle. Grandpa said he will go, so your work is more important."
"Is your grandfather going too?"
“Not only that, Shao Yan is going too,” Mu Shaowu said.
"Then aren't you going?" Mu Zheng asked him.
Mu Shaowu smiled and said, "Of course I'll go! This is my son's first time performing on stage, right, baby?"
Mu Shaowu turned to look at Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi: He knew it!
Ye Qingxi snorted and turned her head away, but the smile in her eyes was obvious.
Looking at his adorable little face, Mu Zheng said gently, "That's perfect. I'll bring Xiao Luan and Xiao Cheng along too, so they can cheer for Shao Ting and Xiao Xi together."
Qin Cheng nodded. "Mm."
He looked at Ye Qingxi and said, "Xiaoxi, keep it up!"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi felt that she had not only overstepped her bounds, but had practically ruined the event.
Who brings so many family members along when they're performing?!
It's practically like having a fan club!
Having no other choice, Ye Qingxi told Mu Shaoting about it after returning home.
Mu Shaoting: ...
Looking at their adorable baby, Mu Shaoting couldn't help but exclaim, "You're so popular!"
Men, women, young and old!
Only he could have done that!
“Come on, Auntie will teach you to play the piano,” Mu Shaoting said.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi could only pretend to be clumsy and start playing the piano.
However, he pretended to play a wrong note.
Mu Shaoting exclaimed in surprise, "Baby, you're amazing! You only got one note wrong!"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi quickly played two wrong notes in the next phrase.
Mu Shaoting: "Baby, you're amazing! You only got two notes wrong in this difficult sentence!"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi mispronounced three sounds in the next line: "pa," "pa," "pa."
Mu Shaoting: "Baby, you play so beautifully! Does your hand hurt?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi could no longer keep up the pretense.
However, while playing the piano can be faked, Ye Qingxi dares not fake singing.
Otherwise, he was afraid that if he pretended too well, he would send his aunt away in a flash.
So, after Mu Shaoting finished singing a line, Ye Qingxi opened her mouth and slowly began to sing a cappella.
It was as if the oriole had broken the silence of the night.
It was like a lark waking up the morning sun.
The innocent child's voice was indescribably clear and pure, like a stream washing over one's ears.
Mu Shaoting looked at his little nephew in surprise; his voice was just too beautiful.
Mu Shaoting suppressed his amazement and taught him word by word.
After Ye Qingxi finished teaching and sang the whole passage, Mu Shaoting fell silent.
Ye Qingxi looked at her complicated expression, her lips pursed, and blinked in confusion.
What's wrong?
Is there anything he sang wrong?
That shouldn't be!
He wrote his own songs, and he's sung them hundreds and thousands of times. How could he possibly sing them wrong?!
"Auntie," Ye Qingxi asked curiously, "why aren't you saying anything?"
"Is it because I sang badly?"
Mu Shaoting shook his head.
It's not that it doesn't sound good, it's that it sounds amazing!
So much so that Mu Shaoting felt that she could leave get out of class.
Mu Shaoting: Ah, this...
She had just become a teacher, how could it have ended already?
That was incredibly fast!
She hasn't taught enough yet!
"Baby, your grandpa, I mean your own grandpa, my dear Uncle Ye, doesn't he sing exceptionally well?" Mu Shaoting asked sincerely.
Ye Qingxi: Huh?
