157: Chapter 157 The plan has changed, let's not be smear campaigns for now!

Zhuang Xiaowen didn't need to search for Lin Chuyan's name; Lin Chuyan was already in his following list.

He clicked on it. The album cover was predominantly blue, seemingly Klein Blue.

On the lower-left side of the cover, Lin Chuyan's profile was faintly outlined in black ink. On the right side, the name "Lin Chuyan" was written in white, slightly crooked, looking like a child's casual doodle.

(This is in the featured posts of the book circle; it was made by an enthusiastic reader imitating David Tao's blue album cover, thanks for that).

Looking down, there were 13 songs in total. The first was "ambush from ten sides," which had been released before, and the last was "General," also previously released.

The overall order was: "ambush from ten sides," "lonely patient," "Andy," "people and people," "No Fear In My Heart," "the flower that blooms only for itself," "Who Are You Thinking Of In Your Heart Right Now," "the ordinary road," "a little red flower," "Slow Soul," "finding myself," "changing myself," "General."

Zhuang Xiaowen thought for a moment, skipped the first two songs he had already heard, and clicked directly on the third one, "Andy."

Just as he was about to listen, he noticed something wrong.

Zhuang Xiaowen suspected he was seeing things and stared at the Songwriting and arrangement section for several seconds.

Lyrics: Lin Chuyan. Composition: Lin Chuyan. Arrangement: Lin Chuyan. Vocals: Lin Chuyan.

Zhuang Xiaowen: "？？？？？"

He simply stopped listening to the song. As soon as the intro to "Andy" started, he immediately switched to the next song, "people and people," and then he saw—

Lyrics: Lin Chuyan. Composition: Lin Chuyan. Arrangement: Lin Chuyan. Vocals: Lin Chuyan.

Zhuang Xiaowen: "Holy crap！！！"

He continued to switch to the next song! ... Switch again! ... Switch again!!!

What the hell? Could such an important place have a mistake?

Immediately after, a strange thought involuntarily popped into his mind...

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Zhuang Xiaowen couldn't care about listening to the song anymore. He clicked into the song's comment section and found that everyone else was talking about this matter too.

"Holy crap? Holy crap! May I ask, besides holy crap, what other word can describe this? Who can help me?"

"I don't understand. What does this mean? Isn't this a song written by Lin Mo?"

"Where is Zheng Hai? Where is Boss Zhu? Someone go ask."

"If it's not written wrong here? Then wouldn't that be... Impossible, my idol can't be that awesome..."

"I think you guys are overthinking it. It's probably just a system error; it will be corrected in a while."

"Indeed, sometimes the system goes crazy, that's understandable. However, Boss Zhu should already know about this, right? Maybe he has already asked people to fix it."

"Brothers, wait for my news, I'll go ask."

Soon, Zhu Cong's Weibo comment section was bombarded by many people.

It was a real bombardment.

"My brother finally released an album, and you damn well can't even handle this small matter. What use are you?"

"It's a loss that Lin Chuyan trusted you so much, and you call it exclusive? Is this how you treat him?"

"Now it's great. The fans have no heart to listen to the songs anymore and have all run here to you. Is this interesting?"

"Refreshed it several times, still not fixed. Are all the people at NetEase Cloud Music dead? Does it really need people to remind you about such a small matter?"

Boss Zhu took a look, didn't get angry, and directly posted another Weibo.

The tone was still as indifferent and light, as if this matter was taken for granted, as if everything was within his expectations and control.

"Huh? What are you guys talking about? I don't understand. I didn't write the Songwriting section wrong..."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Slower netizens still didn't quite understand and remained in a daze: "No, what do you mean by 'didn't write it wrong'? Is your version different from ours?"

Quick-witted netizens were already shocked: "Wait! Not written wrong? That means these songs were all written by Lin Chuyan? Then why is Lin Mo written on Aiyue.com?"

Even quicker netizens had already started to figure out the whole story: "Lin Mo is just damn Lin Chuyan! You can use a pseudonym on Aiyue.com! This guy wrote many songs using this pseudonym! No wonder he didn't thank Lin Mo at the award ceremony! It's very likely he really didn't remember..."

Some netizens turned into Sherlock Holmes: "That means 'Similar to Love' was written by Lin Chuyan for Ruan Xingyu. They had already known each other since then. Later, when Ruan Xingyu released an album, she even gave 'Lin Mo' an album with a dedicated signature. The signature on it was one everyone had never seen before; it wasn't his full name, but the two characters 'Xingxing', followed by a hand-drawn 'little peach heart'. If it were really 'Lin Mo', that would be fine, but now it's Lin Chuyan, so the meaning of this signature changes. These two definitely have a problem! And they had a problem from a very long time ago!"

There was another type, the Haters. Originally, they were still creating a god, wanting to put Lin Mo on a pedestal. "So what if the new album sounds good? You, Lin Chuyan, are nothing without Lin Mo! You don't even know how to be grateful. What's the difference between this kind of artist and an artist with a tainted record?"

But now? The Lin Mo they had been holding in their palms as a darling these days, the good Lin Mo they had been praising to the skies, was actually the Lin Chuyan they had been trying to hate all along...

The Haters couldn't even imagine what Lin Chuyan would think when he saw these comments.

Damn, why are they still playing with their phones here? They might as well pack their bags and go to Gotham City; it's better than being laughed at by Lin Chuyan here.

Lin Chuyan's fans were already popping champagne.

"I saw someone hating on my idol yesterday, saying he only relied on Lin Mo. Now that I think about it, it's hilarious. Yeah, we just rely on ourselves, so what?"

"The funniest thing is that the whole 'praising Lin Mo' thing was thought up by the Haters themselves. Isn't this just sticking their faces out for Lin Chuyan to slap? I don't know if it hurts."

"I have a question: The Haters like Lin Mo so much, but now that they've discovered the two are actually the same person, what do they say about this wave? Are they going to keep hating? It's so contradictory... Won't they have split personalities?"

The Haters stared at these comments online, really unable to say a word. The expressions on their faces were as unnatural as could be, looking just like they had been slapped several times, and the kind where they slapped themselves.

Zhuang Xiaowen scrolled through Weibo for a while, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Damn, how did things evolve into what they are now? When did it even start? This Lin Chuyan, something is not right with him!

Think about what he had said? Ungrateful, unfilial, unworthy of being a person... And now?

Now, Zhuang Xiaowen decided to finish listening to the songs first...

What if, what if it doesn't sound good?

Zhuang Xiaowen's movements changed from hesitant to determined. He returned to the initial operation and clicked on "Andy."

After the intro, Lin Chuyan's voice rang out.

"How long has it been since you saw that sea? How much do you actually understand yourself by now?"

"Always refusing to admit defeat, always wanting to be faster than others. Is the future you want in front of you?"

"Thinking of our past makes one sigh with emotion. I hope all good friends can stand up."

"And the girl you once fell madly in love with, will you still find it hard to forget her a few years from now?"

These few lines?

Suddenly, it made Zhuang Xiaowen think of himself, of life, and also of the Junior he was now madly in love with.

Regarding the future, he really hadn't thought that much. Besides preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, he just wanted to properly experience love during his university life.

There was actually a lot of confusion in this. Is preparing for the postgraduate exam a form of escaping future work and life? Would his devotion to the Junior also yield no return?

Lin Chuyan continued to sing.

"But Andy, living doesn't require a reason. Anyone can temporarily lose courage."

"The restless world outside, the turbulent mood, cannot extinguish the burning heart you once possessed."

"I really don't know how to express my love, but I care a lot about everyone's expectations of me."

"An ordinary role, standing on a small stage, I have the courage to say it out loud."

Zhuang Xiaowen looked at the lyrics, feeling that the more he looked, the better they were. These lyrics could truly encourage him.

Yeah, he really didn't know how to express his love! That's why he had been chasing the Junior for so long...

Also, living doesn't require a reason. Since he chose to prepare for the postgraduate exam, he should work hard; since he liked the Junior, he should chase her properly and love recklessly! Why so much hesitation!

And, anyone can temporarily lose courage. One shouldn't be afraid of temporary confusion; never extinguish the burning heart you currently possess.

Come on, Zhuang Xiaowen!

As the song ended, he suddenly received a message from the Junior on WeChat.

"Mosquito, have you listened to Lin Chuyan's new album? Is it good? I only have a Tencent Music membership; I haven't bought NetEase Cloud Music yet."

Perhaps the lyrics of "Andy" truly inspired Zhuang Xiaowen. At this moment, he finally gathered his courage and confidently replied: "You don't need to buy it, I have it. Shall we find a study room? I'll let you wear the headphones, and we can listen together. Yeah, I just listened to one song, it's very good!"

These lyrics, this composition, this singing voice... He hadn't found any flaws for now. Hmm, the plan has changed, not hating anymore!
