Chapter 360 Xixi’s turn!
Since mid-August, Weibo's hot searches can be said to have a weekly cycle.

This remains the case even during the National Day holiday.

As soon as "As Wish" was released last night, it immediately topped the hot searches, and new posts kept appearing under related topics.

Many people who listened to the song expressed their opinions online.

[The song is indeed good, but isn’t it too exaggerated to be ranked first? I feel like it’s the bonus of the new song, which has a sense of freshness. In this respect, the old songs are really at a disadvantage.]

[I think it’s also because of the National Day sentiment, otherwise I don’t think it would be ranked first]

[Those who said they didn’t get first place are probably too young to understand this song]

[I was fine with it, I just thought the lyrics were great, and Yuan Wanqing sang it really well, but my dad really cried when he heard it]

[My grandfather also cried when listening to the song. He is a veteran of the Korean War since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. He couldn’t help but stand up and salute at the end. After listening to the song, he held my hand and told me that the future is indeed in the hands of us young people.]

[You guys are too embarrassing... Is it really that exaggerated? Are you a troll? ]

[Water Army, your mother! I almost cried when I heard this song even though I was young. If you know more about history, you will know how good this song is]

[This is how red songs of the new era should be written, telling stories and expressing gratitude from the perspective of young people, while also not forgetting our mission in the new era and taking over the torch of inheritance from the older generation]

[The mountains and rivers are safe, and fireworks are normal. These eight words are really well written. Isn't this the good life that our ancestors wanted us to live after their brave struggles? ]

[There is also the line "See the world you have not seen, write the poem you have not written", really, as a grown man, I can't hold it in anymore. When I think of those revolutionary martyrs who didn't know whether they won in the end before they died, and who couldn't see the beautiful life of the people after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I feel really sad]

[They must have seen it in heaven, and we became their eyes, seeing it for them. When I heard Yuan Wanqing singing "Every Day in This Prosperous World", I couldn't help crying. Thinking about all this now, it is indeed hard-won.]

[I think the last two lines of this song are also very good, "Meet you, a life of clarity, like your young face", the word clarity is used so well! ]

[Why is no one praising Yuan Wanqing? Don’t you think her handling of the whole song is also wonderful? In the first verse, the pronunciation of the words in the foggy mountains and fields is hazy, and the emotion of the first chorus is still a little implicit. When it comes to the second verse, the mountains and rivers are safe, with the live harmony, the accumulated emotions burst out in one day, which is really perfect.]

[You can search for Yuan Wanqing’s stage performance more than ten years ago. Her singing skills were still immature at that time. It was all thanks to her youth and good function. Now she really gives people a feeling of ease.]

[For more than ten years... She has been treating her illness, right? She has been able to continue to hone her singing skills. This is the reward she deserves.]

[Actually, these are all okay. The most outrageous thing is, shouldn’t the rekindling of the lyrics and music be the most outrageous? Now there are seven songs, all of which were written by him. I guess the remaining two are also written by him.]

[I originally thought that "The Sky Has No Limits" was already very explosive, but I didn't expect that it really has no limits. There is another big bomb after the big bomb. "As You Wish" is even more amazing than the previous one]

[This new album can really be called a masterpiece. I feel like every song is very memorable and hit. It’s incredible.]

[Each song is good enough to be a hit song. This Chongran is also a web novel writer.]

[He writes about entertainment. He previously plagiarized classic songs, but now he writes his own songs and plagiarizes himself. I even suspect that he helped Yuan Wanqing with this new album just to write a book.]

[That's too outrageous. How much money can he make from writing books? ]

[Well... According to netizens' speculation, he has made at least several hundred yuan from this book, which is still quite profitable... However, the digital version of his new album has sold hundreds of thousands of copies on QQ Music. Once "As Wish" is released, one million yuan will definitely be sold. At 9 yuan per copy, I wonder how much of the nearly million yuan he can get.]

[I feel like one million copies is not enough. After the release of the song "The Sky Has No Limits", the album sales have exceeded 800,000 copies. This time "As Wish" is so popular, it is normal to sell two million copies in the end.]

[Has anyone sold two million copies of a digital album? ]

[Maybe we can break a record]

[So, who is Reignite? ]

At 10 noon on October 3, the term "Who is Rekindling?" quickly ranked among the top three on Weibo's hot search list, and even briefly surpassed the term "Yuan Wanqing's "As Wish"".

For the entire day thereafter, it basically remained among the top five.

All kinds of gossip were flying around on the Internet, and naturally some classmates who knew Li Luo couldn't help but expose the news.

It's just that his influence is not strong enough, and he didn't provide much substantial evidence. In addition, the real situation was too magical, so few people believed it.

However, some netizens' bold guesses were recognized by many people.

[I feel like he might be the second generation of a musical family, and it has to be a family with a bit of scholarly flavor, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to write such lyrics]

[Before, I was a little skeptical that this was written by a young person, but after watching "As Wish", I think it really takes the youthful vigor to write this type of red song from this perspective]

[I was bored recently, so I read the novel he wrote. How should I put it... It's not the type I like to read. It's just a bunch of song-plagiarism stuff. It's really hard to connect it with the rekindling of songwriting.]

[His novels are good, I quite like reading them, it is good to relax and entertain in my spare time, and those of you who don’t often read online novels don’t know that his novels are a breath of fresh air in the male harem novels, the writing style is very fresh]

[I know Chongran! He is a student of Yuhang Yinjiang Affiliated No. 1 Middle School! ]

[Don't be crazy, with his level of secrecy, if the news had spread in high school, would he have kept it secret until now? ]

[I think it should be a college student? A high school student is too outrageous, it's impossible]

[I know Chongran. He graduated from Berkeley College and just returned to China last year. We had dinner and chatted about his novels. We didn’t think it would be good at that time. Who knew he would make his books popular with his original songs?]

"Li Luo, you are amazing." Ying Chanxi was holding his phone and sharing comments on Weibo on the sofa. When he saw this one, he couldn't help laughing, "They all went abroad for further studies."

Li Luo came over to take a look and was immediately speechless: "This guy is really good at making up stories. His words are very convincing."

However, it is precisely because there are too many people who stir up trouble to attract attention that some dear classmates who could not help but expose the news online have their explosive news fall into the sea and not many people believe it at all.

Li Luo's true identity was successfully hidden.

However, in the class group of Class 8, people would tag Li Luo from time to time, and everyone was spreading news from all over the Internet.

Most of the discussion was about "As Wish" and "Rekindled".

[Zhang Guohuang]: Damn! No one believes me when I tell the truth! These people are so stupid!

[Zhu Yufei]: What did you say again?
[Zhang Guohuang]: Someone said that the class monitor had returned from studying abroad in Berkeley. I couldn't help but argue with him for a while. This idiot was so funny, and he was so confident that I almost thought I was wrong.

[Li Luo]: You better be careful, wait for me after the National Day.

[Zhang Guohuang]: Ahem, squad leader, even if I want to expose it this time I can’t, because almost no one on the Internet believes it.

[Li Luo]: Yes, otherwise why do you think you can live until the end of National Day?

There was laughter and joy in the group, and it was lively and bustling.

After reading the situation on the hot searches, Li Luo felt a little relieved.

At least for now, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to show up, there is basically no risk of being exposed.

After all, to put it bluntly, he is just a creator behind the scenes, which is fundamentally different from stars like Yuan Wanqing who perform on stage.

Everyone was just curious about him for a while, but after the final of "I Am a Singer" was over, they forgot about him after a while.

However, just as the kids were huddled on the sofa, chatting and digesting their food after dinner, Li Guohong, who was about to leave to check out the hot pot restaurant, received a phone call.

After saying a few simple words, Li Guohong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Luo and said to his son, "Li Luo."

"What's wrong, Dad?"

"Your uncle called and said that someone from our company contacted you and wanted to discuss cooperation with you." Li Guohong looked strange. He didn't expect that someone would come to their small company on their own initiative, and he had never heard of such a thing before.

"What kind of cooperation?" Li Luo was also confused and didn't quite understand.

Li Guohong asked a few more questions, and then said to Li Luo, "It's an entertainment company, probably the kind that signs celebrities. They want to invite songs for their artists, and they found out about you and came here."

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Invite a song?"

"Correct."

"Is that so..." When Li Luo heard the answer, he was surprised at first, and then felt relieved.

After all, the quality of the nine songs in Yuan Wanqing's new album is enough to show that she has rekindled her songwriting ability.

If only one or two hits out of nine songs become popular, it can be said that it is simply inspiration. After all, there are not too many songwriters in the industry who can occasionally write one or two hits, but then become mediocre.

But if nine songs in a row become popular, it can’t be said to be a coincidence, it means the artist has real talent.

At least it’s always good to invite someone to sing a song.

Li Luo thought about it and thought it would be a good idea to find something for his parents to do, so he nodded to Li Guohong and said, "Then let them tell us about their needs and quotes for the songs, and we can talk about the rest later."

"Do you really want to write songs for them?" Li Guohong asked.

"If they are willing to buy it, and the price is right, it's not impossible." Li Luo said, "But inviting someone to sing is a matter of mutual affection, so let's just talk about it first and see if it will work out in the end."

"Okay." Li Guohong nodded, chatted with Li Guoru on the other end of the conversation for a few words, and then said, "Then I won't go to the hot pot restaurant this afternoon. I'll go back to the company and make some preparations."

"You can consult Lawyer Tian." Li Luo reminded, "Lawyer Tian is quite experienced in copyright. We can cooperate more in the future."

"Okay, I understand."

If other people were to invite him to sing songs, Li Luo would certainly be reluctant to give away the good songs that he remembered.

But these days, singers don’t have to sing at high quality, as long as the singing is enough to attract traffic.

If the standards are lowered to this level, there are actually quite a few choices.

Li Luo was embarrassed to sing Douyin hits like "Parting Blooms" to Yuan Wanqing or Yan Zhusheng, as it was a bit embarrassing.

It would be better to sell it to someone you don’t know well, it would be nice to make some money.

Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong finally had something to do, so they weren't sitting around doing nothing except cooking for them all day.

"You want to write songs for others?" After watching Li Guohong leave, Yan Zhusheng stared at Li Luo and whispered, "I want one too. I'll ask my mother to buy it for me. Don't give it to others."

Li Luo: "...The quality of the goods sold to others is definitely not as good as the ones sold to you, so don't grab them."

"Then show it to me after you finish writing it." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "If I like it, give it to me. I'll ask mom to give you whatever they quote."

Li Luo was a little amused after hearing this: "You are too mean. You don't even leave any for them?"

"I'm not bad." Yan Zhusheng pouted, "You are the bad one."

After a few people finished chatting on the sofa, they sat down at the desks and continued to study seriously.

After cleaning up the kitchen, the two mothers quietly walked out, changed their shoes and left, leaving the study space to them. After they left the room, they started chatting with smiles on their faces.

After working together from the summer vacation to now, the relationship between Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling has become better and better.

Not only do they cook together when we visit each other, they also play mahjong together on a regular basis, and occasionally go to the nearby park to dance or take a walk together. They have become like little sisters.

In the evening, after Zhao Rongjun and the other three left, Yan Zhusheng received a phone call.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Zhusheng said to Li Luo, "After mom enters the finals, the live broadcast will be on the 9th. I have to go and sing the song you prepared for us with mom."

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded with a smile, "I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

The final of "I Am a Singer" is also known as the Battle of the Kings of Singers.

The final winner will be awarded the title of "King of Singers".

The live broadcast is divided into two stages.

The first is the duet singing session, where every singer who enters the finals can invite friends in the circle to sing a song with him or her.

The second is the final competition, in which each finalist sings the final song he or she has prepared.

In the duet singing session, because Li Luo wrote a song that was more suitable for a mother and daughter to sing together, after Yuan Wanqing confirmed that she had entered the finals, she did not hesitate and invited her daughter to participate in the finals with her.

"The 9th is Friday, and I have to go to rehearsal in advance, so I have to go with my mother on the 8th." Yan Zhusheng continued, "I have already asked Teacher Kong for leave, so I won't be going to school on the 8th, 9th, and 10th."

"Are you asking for leave?" Ying Chanxi was surprised. "Then Zhusheng, you haven't been with us for the past three days?"

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded.

"Then...then be careful outside." Ying Chanxi went forward and hugged Yan Zhusheng, "I will miss you."

Two girls are being intimate with each other.

Time passed quickly in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of the 8th, Yan Zhusheng was picked up early by Yuan Wanqing's nanny car and flew to Lake Blue.

Ying Chanxi happily followed Li Luo alone without calling Xu Youyu who was sleeping in. The two of them went for a morning run on the school playground, had breakfast together, and went to the classroom together.

Even after arriving at the classroom, Ying Chanxi still held the textbook and sat in Yan Zhusheng's seat, pretending to put the textbook away neatly. He pursed his lips and blushed, not daring to look at Li Luo, but just stared at the blackboard with blinking eyes.

Li Luo burst into laughter when he saw her action.

Qiao Xinyan in front also turned her head speechlessly to look, but was pushed back by Ying Chanxi who looked shy.

Although the teacher was surprised that Ying Chanxi sat next to Li Luo, he simply thought that the seats had been changed.

After hearing that Yan Zhusheng had asked for leave, other students showed different expressions when they saw Ying Chanxi sitting in Yan Zhusheng's empty seat.

The students in the old Class 8 class who were familiar with the Bible naturally had meaningful expressions on their faces.

The others were still a little surprised.

On the contrary, Liu Shaowen and Xie Shuchen were very good at comforting themselves, saying that they were cousins ​​and it was normal for them to want to sit together in class.

And it was in this atmosphere that Ying Chanxi finally fully experienced what it was like to be a deskmate with Li Luo in high school.

We had lunch together, went to the student union meeting together, and then went back to the classroom together.

After Li Luo sat down, Ying Chanxi took out a light yellow pillow from the drawer of his desk. It was the same style as the ones Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng had.

But it's not over yet.

Ying Chanxi sat in Yan Zhusheng's seat with a pillow in his arms. After looking around, he took out a Bluetooth headset from his pocket and handed one to Li Luo. With a blushing face, he whispered, "You, you wear one and I'll wear one so we can listen to music."

Li Luo looked at the headphones in his hand with a strange expression. Faced with this extremely familiar scene, he said nothing and put on the headphones silently.

After seeing Li Luo wearing headphones, Ying Chanxi happily put on the other one. After clicking to play music on his mobile phone, he leaned obediently on the pillow and turned his head to look at Li Luo.

The two looked at each other. Ying Chanxi's cheeks turned red when he looked at her. She couldn't help but whispered, "Close your eyes first."

"Close it first."

"No, close it first."

If he closed his eyes first, Ying Chanxi would not be able to fall asleep when he thought of Li Luo still looking at him with his eyes open.

So after finally getting Li Luo to close his eyes, Ying Chanxi looked at his face, listened to the light music in the headphones, and his mood gradually relaxed, feeling full of warmth.

"Li Luo." Ying Chanxi said quietly.

"Ok?"

"Can we all listen to music together during lunch break?"

"Um... ah?"

"What? No?"

"…I think it should be possible."
