21: Lin Jianjun's birthday party? It's time to get my 3 billion back!

Time flies like an arrow, days and months pass like a shuttle.

Over the next five days, Lin Xuan’s routine remained unchanged.

Every day when he woke up,

He would habitually go to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of violet.

Then he would return to Su Qingge’s boudoir, hold her little hand, chat about everything, tell stories, crack jokes, sing love songs, and give massages… Unless there were special circumstances,

Lin Xuan would spend the entire day sticking by Su Qingge’s side, “ Stickers” (close contact).

【Ding! Host and Su Qingge are “ Stickers” (close contact) palm to palm, rewarding 1 point / 10 seconds.】

Eh?!

Another point every ten seconds?

Why couldn’t it go up?

Listening to the system prompts in his mind,

Lin Xuan felt quite helpless.

His biggest gain these past few days was increasing the original 1 point / 15 seconds to the current 1 point / 10 seconds.

But it seemed to have hit a bottleneck.

Lin Xuan’s point accumulation rate had been stagnant for two consecutive days.

“Perhaps I’m too impatient…”

“After all, it’s only been a full week since I moved into the Su Family.”

“Thinking about it this way, the progress doesn’t seem too slow, does it?!”

At this thought,

Lin Xuan felt much more balanced and eagerly opened his point panel.

【20962】.

Looking at the 20,000 points he had finally accumulated after working hard for so many days,

Lin Xuan couldn’t stop smiling.

He felt a sense of vindication, the exhilaration of becoming an overnight millionaire.

However, after glancing at the system’s mall,

He couldn’t help but sigh again at the two items he most yearned for… 【Item: Invincible Immortal Emperor Cultivation】

【Price: 10000000000】

【Description: After successful redemption, the Host will immediately possess the cultivation, combat power, and insights of the strongest Immortal Emperor, suppressing all enemies in the world.】

... 【Item: Undying and Imperishable】

【Price: 100000000000】

【Description: After successful redemption, the Host will be eternally undying and imperishable. Even time cannot wear you down.】

... Looking at the descriptions of the two items, Lin Xuan drooled. (¯﹃¯)

If he could redeem these two things, wouldn’t he completely become a “God” who controls everything?

“Just thinking about it makes me a little excited!”

“Ah! But I’m still short by billions of points needed for this…”

“I can only save slowly, and endure slowly! I firmly believe there will be a day when I succeed through endurance!”

Lin Xuan’s gaze was firm, setting his future goal.

Endure and accumulate points.

However, having said that, after glancing at the sleeping girl on the bed, Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and made a decision.

“System, help me redeem two high-grade protective amulets.”

【Ding! Redemption successful, 20,000 “ Stickers” (close contact) points have been deducted, remaining “ Stickers” (close contact) points: 962.】

Hmph, what a profiteer?!

Hearing that the points he had accumulated for several days were suddenly deducted by 20,000,

Lin Xuan felt like he was back to square one, a penniless pauper again.

But looking at the jade pendants he had redeemed in his hand,

He felt a strong sense of security, and it seemed to be worth the price.

According to the system’s description,

This jade pendant could block a fatal blow for the wearer, effectively giving them an extra life.

To be on the safe side,

Lin Xuan prepared one for himself and one for Su Qingge.

His own life, needless to say, was definitely the most important.

As for Su Qingge… she was the female supporting character in the novel who, apart from the sole female lead, had the closest relationship with the protagonist and the highest luck value.

If she died, he would be in a very passive position.

He didn’t want to “ Stickers” (close contact) with the protagonist Su Yang, male on male.

And he wasn't interested in the female lead who had already given birth to the protagonist’s child.

He wasn’t a Cao Thief who liked married women, was he?!

As a pure love warrior,

He only wished to find one person and stay with them until old age.

And Su Qingge in the novel,

Her death was also very tragic in the end.

To be on the safe side, he thought of giving her some insurance… Afterwards,

Lin Xuan put on the jade pendant around his neck, then got up and placed the other one on Su Qingge.

【What is he doing?】

【He suddenly put something on me?】

Sensing Lin Xuan’s sudden closeness,

Su Qingge instinctively felt a little resistant.

It wasn’t that she was worried Lin Xuan would take advantage of her… After all, Lin Xuan’s considerate and non-overstepping actions these past few days had fully proven that he was a true gentleman.

It was just that day,

When she realized her feelings were a bit off,

Su Qingge kept reminding herself to avoid making further mistakes.

“Qingge! This jade pendant was left to me by my mother before she passed away, asking me to give it to her future daughter-in-law.”

“Now you are the wife I’ve chosen for life, so I’m giving this protective jade pendant to you.”

To prevent Su Qingge from waking up and discarding the jade pendant as unimportant,

Lin Xuan deliberately fabricated a story to emphasize the jade pendant’s significance.

And in the dark consciousness space… Su Qingge really wanted to raise her hand to refuse.

But unable to move, she could only let him do as he pleased.

【This is Brother Lin Xuan’s mother’s Relics (relic)?】

【Then I don’t deserve it, I can’t take it.】

【Forget it! I’ll return it to him when I wake up!】

... Just as Lin Xuan finished putting on the protective amulet!

The door was suddenly pushed open.

A loli wearing a JK school uniform and twin pigtails bounced in.

“Brother Lin Xuan, what song are you singing today?”

“Let me tell you! Your song ‘Invisible Wings’ yesterday once again exploded across the entire internet.”

“Now countless fans are eagerly waiting for you to release new songs every day?!”

“…”

The person who came was Chen Kexin. After days of Lin Xuan’s talent bombardment,

Her hostility towards the man in front of her gradually turned into a bit of admiration.

No choice, right?! ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌

Lin Xuan was truly too awesome!

A few days ago, she followed Lin Xuan’s instructions, used the codename [L] to create an account on D-station, and released the song “Courage Burst.”

As soon as it went online, it immediately caused a sensation among children.

Many adults also competed to sing and imitate it.

Within a day, its popularity was on par with “like me.”

Especially when Chen Kexin used her own fame to directly declare that the author of both songs was [L],

And would release an original single every day, it sparked a wave of fanatical followers for [L]… This wave of enthusiasm became even more frenzied as Lin Xuan delivered on his promise, releasing a “king bomb” song every day.

“Sorrow”

“Love You”

“seven mile fragrance”

“A Thousand Years Later”

“Invisible Wings”

It could be said… that if Lin Xuan revealed his identity now,

He would immediately ascend to the status of an “Heavenly King” in the entertainment industry.

Half of Huaxia might even know him.

However, fame was not Lin Xuan’s ultimate goal.

So every time, he asked Chen Kexin to record, but not to reveal his true identity… Meeting Chen Kexin’s expectant gaze,

Lin Xuan smiled calmly, released Su Qingge’s hand, picked up the golden guitar beside him, held it in his arms, and softly said:

“The song I’m singing today? The title is ‘I Really Want to Love This World.’ ”

“This is a song created for people with depression.”

“I hope to use the power and charm of music to encourage and advocate for public care and understanding of people with depression.”

Written for those with depression?

What kind of song is it?!

I really want to hear it, I’m so excited!!!

Chen Kexin held professional recording equipment, her face full of anticipation.

Not just her, Su Qingge on the sickbed, though unable to move, had her full attention on Lin Xuan’s movements.

She couldn’t say much else these days… but in terms of musical talent, Lin Xuan had already impressed everyone with his abilities.

【L】’s productions are always masterpieces.

As the guitar prelude began,

Lin Xuan’s deep voice filled the room… “Hugging the sofa ~ sleepy-eyed and blurry ~ messy hair ~ ~”

“But longing to be as dashing as a movie protagonist ~ ~”

“Under the eaves ~ crows lined up ~ densely packed ~ ~”

“Suppressed emotions, not knowing how to express them ~ ~”

... “Thought of leaving ~ ~”

“When sunlight lost to the haze ~ ~”

“Didn’t expect you to desperately push it aside for me ~ ~”

“Once thought of leaving ~ ~”

“But persisted until now ~ ~”

“Endured ~ ~ those narrations ~ ~”

“Those postures ~ ~ those harms ~ ~”

... “Don’t want to leave ~ ~”

“When your smile bloomed ~ ~”

“This world suddenly filled with ~ colors ~ oh ~”

“Hugging the sofa ~ sleepy-eyed and blurry ~ messy hair ~ ~”

“Sunset ~ answering the phone ~ it’s you ~ ~”

... The song ended.

Lin Xuan remained calm, put down the guitar in his hand, sat back in his original spot, and held Su Qingge’s little hand, “ Stickers” (close contact).

On Chen Kexin’s side, the little loli’s eyes were already brimming with tears.

Under the emotional sway of the song, she was moved beyond words.

And Su Qingge, lying on the bed,

Her perception of this emotion was even more intense… After all, ever since her parents died, and the Su Family faced suppression from various opportunist forces, she had to wipe away her tears and struggle to maintain everything.

Coupled with her current vegetative state, the immense psychological pressure,

Made Su Qingge realize that she… might be suffering from mild depression.

【So touching.】

【This song is so well written!】

【Especially for someone like me who has a bit of depression…】

【Listening to it, I can feel even more the profound respect and cherish for life contained within the song.】

... The soul-healing melody,

Warm and sincere lyrics,

A deep and powerful voice,

Made Su Qingge perceive the warmth in the song, and the lingering gloom in her heart.

At this moment, under the healing power of the song, it dissipated considerably… Clap, clap, clap!!!

“So good! So perfect!”

“Brother Lin Xuan, you’re really amazing?!”

Chen Kexin, finally coming back to her senses, was flushed with excitement and clapped continuously. ٩(๑＞◡＜๑)۶

She knew without a doubt… that once this song was released to the outside world, it would surely cause another internet storm.

“I’m leaving now, I need to process the recording immediately. Bye-bye!”

The little loli was swift and decisive, holding the recorder, she rushed out the door in a flurry.

“This little brat… so rash?!”

Watching Chen Kexin’s hurried figure disappear,

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but look amused.

He turned around, just as he was about to start today’s massage work… Chen Kexin’s slightly hesitant voice came again from the doorway.

“Brother Lin Xuan. There’s one more thing I forgot to tell you.”

“Hmm? What is it?”

Seeing the little loli return, Lin Xuan turned back in surprise.

“Um… it’s about your father. Tonight is his birthday, and I heard he invited many prominent families to attend. He also plans to announce Lin Hao as his heir at the banquet, you…”

“Oh! That! I know! I’ll be attending tonight.”

“Ah?”

“What’s there to be surprised about? Debts must be paid, it’s only right. The one-week deadline is up, it’s time to take some things back…”

“…”
