Chapter 118: Li Qiuya's Surprise
“Are you really going to sing?” Yang Fan asked, somewhat reluctant.
“Of course I have to! You wrote the lyrics, so surely you have the melody in your heart,” Li Qiuya said, her face full of anticipation.
“Cough, cough, if I sing, don’t laugh at me,” Yang Fan said, rubbing his nose awkwardly.
“Don’t worry, I won’t laugh,” Li Qiuya waved her hand reassuringly.
She was very satisfied with the lyrics of the song *How Lucky*, eager to compose the melody and release it as soon as possible. In a few days, she would be doing a live-streamed interview for her entire fanbase, and new music would surely be a hot topic. If the song was ready by then, she could announce it during the interview.
Encouraged by Li Qiuya’s expectation, Yang Fan began to sing.
“Meeting among millions of people
Sharing the same unspoken connection, how rare it is
You understand my stubbornness
I understand your temper
Two hearts drawing closer
No time to explain my feelings
Afraid of missing the chance to fall in love with you
Romance is already prepared
A brand new journey
How lucky to meet at the most beautiful age
Meeting you leaves no regrets or sorrow
Holding you tight with all my strength
Not letting happiness slip away
How lucky to love you…”
“…”
“How lucky to have met you
How lucky to have fallen for you
How lucky to be together…”
“…”
Yang Fan controlled his voice well, radiating a warm, gentle charm that was easy on the ears. His singing was captivating, stirring the heartstrings and evoking the sweet fantasies of love. Li Qiuya closed her eyes and listened, unknowingly becoming enchanted.
A sweet, blissful smile spread across her face; she felt as if she were falling in love.
“How lucky to love you
It’s the best decision of my life
I believe you are the one and only, willing to stay with you till the end.”
When Yang Fan finished, he glanced at Li Qiuya and saw her sitting on the sofa, utterly entranced with a smile still lingering on her lips.
“Hey, did you record it or not?” Yang Fan asked, clearly frustrated.
He realized that Li Qiuya hadn’t even turned on her phone’s recording function.
“Oh, you finished singing?” Li Qiuya snapped out of her trance, feeling embarrassed. “I forgot to hit record. Could you please sing it one more time?”
Yang Fan’s expression darkened. All that singing just now was for nothing.
“Hehe, it’s mainly because you sing so beautifully that I couldn’t help but get lost in it,” Li Qiuya said with a playful smile.
Actually, she thought Yang Fan had a great voice, full of potential. If he pursued singing, he could definitely become a big star. Besides, Yang Fan was quite handsome, a genuine heartthrob.
“I really don’t know what to do with you,” Yang Fan grumbled.
“Please, this time I’ll definitely record it properly. Pretty please?” Li Qiuya pleaded, flashing a winning smile.
Yang Fan pouted, clearly annoyed, but in the end, he sang again.
His voice was pleasing, mainly because he knew how to control his pitch. This time, Li Qiuya turned on her phone and recorded every note.
“Hehe, this song is definitely going to be a hit,” Li Qiuya said, satisfied as she looked at Yang Fan. “I’ll make sure to reward you well.”
With her phone in hand, Li Qiuya eagerly returned home.
Once the woman left, Yang Fan finally felt he could rest easy.
Back at home, Li Qiuya started selecting the accompaniment for the song. She played the melody repeatedly, experimenting with different instruments.
For two days, she was busy at home, racking her brain over the arrangement. When mealtime came, she would drop by Yang Fan’s place to eat and casually discuss the song.
After taking some suggestions from Yang Fan, Li Qiuya finally completed the accompaniment. After several listens, she was very pleased.
On the day of her interview, Li Qiuya found Yang Fan.
“Remember to tune into Tengwei Video at 10 PM tonight. I’m going to announce my new song then,” Li Qiuya said happily.
“What’s so interesting about that? I don’t have time for it,” Yang Fan said with a shrug.
“Hey, you wrote the lyrics for this song. Don’t you want to listen to it?” Li Qiuya waved a playful fist at him. “I’m a big star now, and when I sing this song, it’s definitely going to be a hit. Don’t you feel a little proud?”
“What is there to be proud of? You’re the one getting famous, not me. It doesn’t concern me,” Yang Fan shrugged indifferently. “You don’t even have to put my name on it; just use yours.”
Li Qiuya was utterly speechless at this insensitive guy.
“I’m not that shameless. You wrote the song—how could I just claim it as my own?” she said, frustrated.
If it were anyone else, they would be eager to have their names credited and bask in the limelight. As a high-profile star with massive traffic, if the song became popular, it would definitely boost the lyricist’s fame too.
“I don’t want the hassle,” Yang Fan waved her off. “Just consider this song sold to you.”
“Fine, but remember, you must watch my interview tonight, or else I won’t let you off,” Li Qiuya said, seeing he didn’t care.
“All right, I’ll watch it,” Yang Fan nodded.
Satisfied with his answer, Li Qiuya left.
After she left, Yang Fan went to practice his cultivation in the living room. By the time he finished, it was already past nine.
After a shower, it was ten o’clock.
Remembering Li Qiuya’s interview, Yang Fan turned on his computer and logged into Tengwei Video.
The first banner on the homepage was her live-streamed interview.
Clicking in, Yang Fan finally witnessed the crazed devotion of Li Qiuya’s fans.
The screen was flooded with barrage comments, all passionately professing their love for their goddess.
The comments covered the entire screen so densely that the video became hard to see.
Yang Fan pinned the comments to the top, improving the clarity significantly.
On screen, Li Qiuya sat on a sofa.
She had dressed up specially for the occasion but wore no makeup, appearing with a natural, bare face.
She was beautiful, and the carefully chosen white gown made her look like a little fairy.
“Li Qiuya, I’m going to ask you on behalf of your fans about your new song. When do you plan to release it?” the lovely host smiled warmly at her. “Everyone is eagerly awaiting your new music, so don’t keep your fans waiting too long.”
Li Qiuya smiled sweetly. “I’ve already written the song. I hope everyone will like it when it’s released.”
“So you’ve had a new song ready for a while. Can you sing a little for us now to satisfy your fans?” the host asked curiously.
“Of course! I’ll sing it live for everyone,” Li Qiuya responded cheerfully.
Hearing that Li Qiuya would sing her new song, fans both in front of the TV and at the scene erupted with excitement.
The barrage comments on the screen exploded with love and anticipation for Li Qiuya’s new music.
