114: Chapter 114 Listening to Music is Like Listening to Bedtime

...

March 1st, 2 PM. Tencent Music and NetEase Cloud Music launched "every day" on both platforms right on time.

Ruan Xingyu's fans had been waiting for a long time. For no other reason than to hear the new song the moment it dropped.

As one of Ruan Xingyu's most loyal fans, how could Brother Mosquito miss such an important moment?

He had no classes today and was currently sitting around leisurely.

Looking to his left—on his tablet was the newly updated chapter of the novel he was currently following; he planned to send the author three "Powering with Love" gifts in a moment. He just needed to click that poop-yellow button to urge the author to update, and a gift-sending pop-up would appear. Besides, watching an ad didn't cost money, so he'd just consider it supporting the author!

Looking to his right—the roasted brown sugar boba hot milk tea he'd ordered had arrived.

Ah, life.

Ah, comfort.

"Pop!"

Brother Mosquito inserted his straw into the milk tea, took a gentle sip, flicked his finger, and immediately opened NetEase Cloud Music.

However.

"Song title... 'every day'... Performer... Ruan Xingyu... Lin Chuyan. Lin Chuyan???????"

Brother Mosquito's pupils shook instantly.

He took another look. That's right, it was still Lin Chuyan.

This idiot's name was even above his goddess, right next to Ruan Xingyu! Tightly pressed against it!

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Brother Mosquito completely broke down.

The question now was: to listen to this song, or not to listen?

o(╥﹏╥)o

"Lin Chuyan!!! You f*cker!!! Can you stay away from my goddess!!!"

"Listen! Must listen! I want to see what Lin the Dog can actually sing!"

Click play.

Lin Chuyan's voice, even silkier than the milk tea in his hand, came through the player.

"Sunny days or a rainy day, in a crowded coffee shop, finding a comfortable corner where I can think of you."

"Watching lovers shoulder to shoulder, slowly turning my gaze away, yeh yeh, there's a girl I miss so much."

"My heart~ has already~ flown to the other side of this city~"

"Wanting to look at you~ the face I love~ to tell you~ all the feelings in my heart~"

Brother Mosquito was stunned.

This f*cker! This Lin Chuyan! This vocal run!

Still running? Still running? You want to run another one?

Brother Mosquito was in such pain. He wanted to say it was absolute trash, but he could lie to his bros; with no one else around, could he really lie to himself?

Before he could ponder it further, the next second, Ruan Xingyu's voice broke in.

Gentle and delicate, yet it seemed to pierce through the heart and touch the depths of the soul.

If Lin Chuyan's male vocals were slowly recounting a feeling of longing, then the moment Ruan Xingyu's voice broke in, the former's emotions seemed to receive an immediate response!

It was no longer unrequited love, but mutual affection!

He loved her, and she loved him too!

With the combination of Ruan Xingyu's exquisite enunciation and relaxed vocal delivery, the listening experience of "every day" could be said to have risen to a whole new level.

"The roads are jammed every day~ and everyone is enduring it every day~"

"Without you, days are black and white~ so this is what love is~"

"I want you by my side~ to share everything in life~"

This chorus! It was too amazing...

Brother Mosquito got goosebumps listening to it...

The duet part was coming up.

"I want to say every day~"

"Say every day~"

"Say to you every day how much I love you~"

Ruan Xingyu and Lin Chuyan's voices traded lines, twisting and turning, entwined with each other...

As the song finished, Brother Mosquito had images in his mind—the image of Ruan Xingyu and Lin Chuyan together...

Damn it, it made him feel like he was listening to them in bed.

It was truly good.

But the pain was real too!

Brother Mosquito sat paralyzed against the back of his chair, expressionless, for a long, long time. When he finally came to his senses and wanted to take a sip of the hot milk tea beside him, he found it had long since gone cold.

...

At the same time, Brother Mosquito wasn't the only one breaking down.

Let's put it this way: people who like Ruan Xingyu's songs don't necessarily hate Lin Chuyan.

But among the Haters who hate Lin Chuyan, quite a few like Ruan Xingyu.

"'every day' is Lin Mo's song, you can check that on Aiyue.com. So Lin Mo's songs just have to be given to Lin Chuyan, right? F*ck!"

"No, 'every day' is actually pretty good, haha, hahaha, I'm not crying, I'm happy, wuwuwu, f*cking Lin Chuyan, you deserve to die!"

"Why is Xingxing collaborating with Lin Chuyan again? Can't you change to someone else? Weren't the previous rumors enough of a mess? Following each other on Weibo was one thing, but now releasing a song together! Is your relationship really that good? Do you think you have too many fans?"

"Get out here, Tianxing! And Zheng Hai, your name is on the producer credit. Don't think I don't know that you were the one who set this up, right? Are you f*cking sick? How much money has Ruan Xingyu made for Tianxing over the years? Is this how you treat her?"

"So Lin Chuyan is just clinging to Ruan Xingyu's coattails now? Is he really that shameless? Was he a dog-skin plaster in his past life? Can he just get lost?"

However, Lin Chuyan had fans now too...

Many of his fans were quite combative. Comparing insults? They wouldn't necessarily lose, especially with such a perfect start.

"'every day' is really too good [Tears]. You ask me what's better than 'every day'? That must be the sound of Haters breaking down [Grin] [Grin] [Grin]"

"Come, come, come, don't miss out. Whether the song is good is one thing, but the key is that if you click on the comments section, you can see Haters having a total breakdown!"

"I'm dying of laughter. Haters were trashing my idol everywhere, but my idol just stole the enemy's base directly, hahahahaha!"

...

Besides that, there were some people who were even more excited, and those were the CP fans who liked both of them—didn't the New Year just pass? It hadn't been a few days, and it was New Year again?

"Ship them! Everyone ship them! Oh my god! This is a love song, friends! A love song duet! Is this not obvious enough!"

"Has Xingxing ever sung a love song with anyone else? No! Who did Xingxing give her first time to? Oh, it turns out it was my Brother Chuyan, hehehe."

"Who doesn't love an older sister like Xingxing! Little brother, oh little brother, your blessings are still to come!"

"Look at these vocal runs! How are they so good at runs? They went straight into my heart. Is this the legendary Errenzhuan?"

"Look at these lyrics! Without you, days are black and white! So this is what love is! I want you by my side! To share everything in life! A proper love declaration, ahhhhhh!"

"They haven't made it public yet, but they've already picked the official announcement song, right?"

"The little brother has been working hard. I've liked him since he debuted. He really couldn't sing before, but now! Wuwuwu! He really, I'm crying to death! What was motivating him to become better? It's obviously love!"

Lin Chuyan didn't do anything else all afternoon; he just looked at these comments, and he felt so good. And the corners of his mouth—if he didn't try hard to keep them down, he felt they were already raised to the sky. If he tried a bit harder, he could poke down all the birds and airplanes flying above. That's just how awesome it was.

He took screenshots of the comments one by one, cropped them, saved them, and then sent them all to Ruan Xingyu.

While he was doing this, a message from Qiao Wei popped up on WeChat.

Little Potatoes: "Brother, thanks!"

Lin: "?"

Lin: "What for?"

Little Potatoes: "Thanks for adding material to our a thousand words CP fanfiction."

Lin: "..."

Lin: "Ahem, that, can you sync a copy of your CP fanfiction to me?"
