84: Chapter 84 Super Boyfriend Power

The video of Chen Yu's new song "Stranded" has reached 360,000 likes and is still rising.

The song's emotions resonated with many, but most importantly, Chen Yu's high notes shattered everyone's impression of this "Internet celebrity singer" once again!

[What 'Internet celebrity singer'? This is clearly a powerhouse vocalist!]

[This is true high notes, true technique! Those ultra-thin minty voices shouldn't even try to compare!]

Because the song became so popular...

...some music bloggers gained traffic by covering it.

There were even streamers dedicated to analyzing the song.

"Today, we're going to continue reviewing one of Chen Yu's works—'Stranded'!"

"Supposedly, this song is killing it on all platforms. Let's hear what world-destroying high notes sound like."

"In the first line, Chen Yu uses breathy tones to express a hint of nostalgia and regret. Not bad, not bad, the breathy notes are very stable."

"The lyrics are quite interesting too; 'longing is still waiting for rescue' depicts a love that can't be forgotten even after a breakup."

"I wonder how much heartbreak Chen Yu went through to write such a sad song."

Finally, the first chorus arrived.

"Whoa, Chen Yu is good! Although Su Lingyin's high notes have some flaws, for a non-professional musician to sing like this is already impressive—at least karaoke-king level."

The second set of high notes.

"Pause for a second, my ears hurt! No way, this song has reached B Major; that's a height many female singers can't even reach."

"One word: superb!"

"Let me try... Haha, I—!!!"

"*Cough cough*, it's a bit too much for me. I don't recommend our viewers try this; it's easy to end up sounding like a wailing ghost."

The second chorus.

"Wow, wow, wow! I really didn't expect him to actually key up! This head voice technique is already mastered to perfection. I recommend he participate in competitions like 'The Singer'."

"With these high notes, he'd definitely win the championship!"

...

At the Voice of Nature Production Team.

"Director, Li Feng's solicitation of prostitution was exposed by fans and is trending now. What do we do?"

The director frowned.

"We start in half a month, and a scandal breaks out now? This is infuriating!"

"But I suppose it's better than it coming out at the end of filming."

One situation allows for a replacement; the other risks the show being taken down.

"He looked like such an honest young man. Didn't they say he was humble and low-profile?"

In this entertainment industry, you can't trust anyone's moral character.

The problem is, they really don't have any!

"The most urgent thing right now is to quickly select a new guest. I hope no other singers have issues."

"But we've basically contacted all the young singers who have openings. We finally got the current list together; singers with a high cost-performance ratio like Li Feng are hard to find."

"Even if it's hard, we have to find one, and they must fit the 'young singer' label!"

"For the new generation group, the age must be right!"

"And their singing ability must be up to par. After inviting Li Fang, many netizens are already saying our Production Team only cares about traffic..."

...

"Now for the first stage—Super Boyfriend Power!"

Stage Introduction: Male guests will carry female guests in a bridal carry and perform squats. The team with the lowest count will be punished.

Punishment: Stare into each other's eyes for thirty seconds in public, and perform a kissing gesture at the end.

[Is this punishment really a punishment? Why do I feel like it's a reward?]

[Hard to say for others, but for Lin Xi, it should definitely be a punishment!]

[Does boyfriend power refer to physical strength? I never train legs at the gym!]

[I bet after these squats, they won't be able to get up tomorrow.]

The male guests at The Cottage read the introduction with various thoughts.

Each had their own little schemes.

Lin Xi was now in a difficult position, caught between a rock and a hard place.

She didn't want to be bridal-carried by Chi Zhao, but she didn't want the punishment either. Looking at Chi Zhao for even one more second made her feel sick and want to throw up.

If it were thirty seconds, she'd probably die on the spot.

Chi Zhao said coolly, "We have to take first place, because no one remembers second or third. Just like no one remembers the second-highest or third-highest mountains."

Chen Yu: "The second is K2, and the third is Kangchenjunga."

"Are you trying to undermine me on purpose?"

"I'm just spreading some knowledge. This was taught in high school; you didn't fail high school geography, did you?"

Chi Zhao's face turned red as he snapped in embarrassment, "None of your business!"

Chen Yu realized with a start, "No way, you actually failed?"

Bullet Chat: [The Little Master of Undermining—Chen Yu!]

[Thanks to Chen Yu for the geography lesson. If you were there for my college entrance exam, I'd have scored at least two more points.]

[It's already good that Chi Zhao knows the world's highest peak. At least he didn't call it 'Dear Little Honeybee'.]

Lin Xi looked utterly hopeless. As she expected, Chi Zhao had started acting pretentious again.

She really wanted to stab him to death with a fork!

The key was that this kid failed at acting cool every single time!

Constant failure, yet constant attempts!

Shen Yanzhou rubbed his hands nervously. He had to carry someone right at the first meeting, and for quite a while too.

Should he hold on a bit longer, or a bit longer?

Would that make him look a bit too forward?

He turned his head and saw Rong Shuwan's quiet smile. He put away his stray thoughts and showed a pure smile.

Rong Shuwan's pretty brows furrowed slightly. This boy's smile... was so silly.

Although she was somewhat resistant to the Production Team's game, she would still respect the rules.

Xia Ningle and Xiao Wenhan were already blushing furiously. Although they had talked well these past few days and had gone on dates, they had never done such an intimate action.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, thought of those few accidental hugs.

Su Lingyin: "If you can't hold on, tell me immediately."

Reverse psychology?!

"I'm very strong!" Chen Yu puffed out his chest. He absolutely could not let a woman look down on him!

The competition began!

Everyone into position!

Lin Xi suddenly raised her hand and asked, "Can we surrender?"

Director: "No!"

This interesting segment was the result of his painstaking deliberation; he had to create interesting topics.

I'm doing this for your own good!

So you can create bigger sparks!

Love needs collisions!

The show needs topics!

"Come on."

Chen Yu feigned a natural expression. The next second, he felt a plump sensation—bouncy, soft, and glutinous, making it hard to let go. It was a tactile feeling that was unfamiliar yet mixed with bits of familiarity and nostalgia.

"Um, I'll be careful," Shen Yanzhou said to Rong Shuwan.

"Okay, I might be a bit heavy," Rong Shuwan said modestly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"How could that be? You're so thin, you should be very light."

Mhm, she really was light.

He Yunshen, meanwhile, picked up Jiang Miaozhu with a proud look on his face.

"Miaozhu, you're so light."

"Then why are you shaking?"

He Yunshen stubbornly insisted, "I'm not shaking. Maybe it's an earthquake."

[Hahaha, stubborn as a dead duck. An earthquake? If you have muscle weakness, just say so. Why act tough?]

In Chi Zhao and Lin Xi's group, Lin Xi reluctantly accepted and was picked up unwillingly.

She almost fell halfway, so she quickly hooked her arms around Chi Zhao's neck in a fright.

"My neck! It hurts! Loosen up!!" Chi Zhao cried out in pain.
