21: Chapter 21: Nobody had high hopes for him, but he proved them wrong.

Before long, the song came to an end.

Meanwhile, the bullet comments in the livestream had completely gone wild.

[Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit]

[Shen Qingxue is blushing! ! ! Did you all see that! ! ! The goddess is blushing! ! !]

[Is there something wrong with my eyes? ? ? Shen Qingxue is blushing? ? ?]

[No, look closely everyone, even her ears are red! They started turning red from her ears!]

[This song sounds way too good! ! ! I am going to put it on loop! !]

[The lyrics are written so sweetly that my diabetes is about to act up.]

[That look Lu Li gave Shen Qingxue, I am dead, I am actually dead.]

[This is not acting, this is definitely not acting. I seriously suspect that Lu Li and Shen Qingxue actually have a thing going on!]

[Sisters, I hereby announce that I am shipping this CP! !]

[Wait, do not ship them yet, let me catch my breath. Is this song really Lu Li's original work? ? ?]

[A bottom-tier obscurity can write a song like this? ? ? I do not believe it! ! !]

[This level is higher than Zhou Yichen's original song by I don't even know how much.]

[Zhou Yichen: I am still looking for where my face is.]

[The person above is trying to laugh me to death.]

Bullet comments poured down like a waterfall, and the online viewer count in the livestream had already broken four million, still soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Director Zhou sat behind the monitor, his mouth wide enough to stuff an egg inside.

He stared at the backend data, his fingers trembling.

Over four million...

You have to know, the show has just begun!

The corners of Director Zhou's mouth were almost split to the roots of his ears, harder to suppress than an AK-47.

"Close-up! Give Shen Qingxue a close-up! And Lu Li too! The two of them in the same frame! Hurry!"

The expressions of the guests on site were even more colorful than the last.

The others were fine, but Zhou Yichen looked as if he had eaten shit, his face turning green while he roared madly in the depths of his heart.

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

How could a bottom-tier obscurity possibly write a song like this? You must know that the quality of this song, even placed across the entire Chinese music scene, could be considered top-tier.

Even he hadn't written a song like this, so why on earth could Lu Li, a bottom-tier minor celebrity, write one!

This is impossible! Impossible!

On the other side, Shen Qingxue still tilted her head to look at the table beside her, the blush on her face not yet completely fading.

But her ears kept capturing the surrounding sounds. When Lu Li finished singing the last line, she cast an imperceptible glance at him out of the corner of her eye.

Fortunately, Lu Li wasn't as bold as he was just now, otherwise...

Inside the livestream, netizens had completely fallen.

Bullet comments were sent out one after another, moving so fast that it was almost impossible for people to see the contents clearly.

[Do it again! Do it again! Do it again!]

[I have already recorded the screen, I am going to loop it for a whole day!]

[When is the full version of this song coming out? I want to buy it! I want to download it! I want to put it on repeat!]

[Suddenly I find myself really wanting to ship Shen Qingxue and Lu Li's CP, they feel quite well-matched.]

[Can someone tell me what on earth Lu Li's background is? How could original work of this level be unknown to the public?]

[I searched, he is just a bottom-tier obscurity, and his most famous acting experience is still this dating reality show.]

[Isn't this too mysterious? Could he be some sort of reclusive big shot?]

[Laughing to death, why don't the people who were mocking just now come out and walk a few steps?]

[You all looked down on Lu Li, yet he proved to be the most capable.]

[Exactly, I am going to refute you all, little dimples yyds! The song title is clearly very cute, okay!]

Bullet comments flooded the screen frantically, and the historical cumulative online viewer count had once again broken a new high.

Director Zhou was so excited by these numbers that he took a deep breath, tried hard to calm himself down, and then picked up the loudspeaker to shout.

"Good... Good! Thank you Lu Li for the wonderful performance!"

In the living room, Lin Yu was the first to react.

"Lu Li! This song of yours sounds so good!"

There was undisguised excitement in her tone. Compared to just now, she was simply like a different person.

Su Qing also came back to her senses and chimed in with a couple of sentences.

"Right, right, right, especially the lyrics, they are so full of imagery. Without even needing to imagine it, my head is completely filled with pictures."

Lin Mo leaned against the sofa, clapping and nodding slightly.

"It is indeed not bad. The arrangement is very mature, and the compatibility between the lyrics and the melody is also very high. Lu Li, I did not expect you to hide so deep. Just how much more is there that we do not know about?"

Lu Li chuckled twice, extremely perfunctorily.

Meanwhile, Xu Hao stood up directly, walked over to Lu Li's side, and heavily patted his shoulder.

"Lu Li! This song of yours is awesome! You basically gave all of us a huge surprise."

Lu Li's shoulder sank from his slap, and the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously.

"Thanks, but take it easy."

Xu Hao chuckled foolishly and patted him again, this time even heavier.

"I am just excited!"

The livestream bullet comments burst into another round of wild laughter.

Soon after, Lu Li handed the guitar to a staff member and walked back to his seat to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, Lin Yu leaned over from across the table, stretching her body over the coffee table to probe for news.

"Lu Li, how long did you write this song for? Was it specially prepared for the show?"

Lu Li glanced at her and said indifferently, "Not long, just wrote it casually."

Lin Yu: ...

Wrote it casually?

You call this writing it casually?

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found she couldn't continue the conversation.

Chen Wenwen chimed in with a smile beside them.

"Lin Yu, stop asking. What Lu Li has is called talent, do you understand talent? You can't be envious of it."

Lin Yu curled her lip and sat back down on the sofa, but her eyes still couldn't help glancing towards Lu Li.

After all, even a fool knew that after singing this song, Lu Li would definitely be the biggest hot topic of this episode. If they didn't ride his coattails now, when would they?

But Lu Li seemed to know their thoughts as well—it was nothing more than trimming their sails to the wind, so he simply didn't give them the chance.

After all, just now when he sang his first song, these people praised him verbally, but in reality, the disdain in their eyes was about to overflow.

Now that little dimples was out, their attitudes changed immediately, each one more enthusiastic and sincere than the last.

However, this couldn't really be blamed on them; the entertainment industry was just like this. Only when you had strength would others look at you straight in the eye.

If they were going to follow this rule, then Lu Li didn't plan to look at them straight in the eye either.

Compared to Lu Li's side, which was "lively and extraordinary", Zhou Yichen was clearly a bit unable to sit still.

Clearly everyone was revolving around him at the very beginning, so how did they all end up revolving around Lu Li in the end? Wasn't it just a lousy song?

The more Zhou Yichen thought about it, the more irritated he became, and the more irritated he became, the more he thought about it.

This was all supposed to belong to him; Shen Qingxue was his, and the popularity was his, but in the end, they were all snatched away by a nobody like Lu Li.

Thinking of this, the look Zhou Yichen directed at Lu Li subconsciously carried a hint of malice.
