Chapter 193 192. Unexpected Birthday Surprise

the other side.

Han Xixi didn't have time to be sad. On Monday, she took the nanny car to Star City to record "The Sound of Life".

Although it is the same job, Han Xixi's mental state is completely different from Lin Xiao's.

Although Lin Xiao's working style is different from usual, there is nothing wrong with him in general, and people would not think that something had happened to him that caused his temperament to suddenly change.

In comparison, Han Xixi is much simpler.

From the moment she got into the nanny car, the agent and assistant knew that there was something wrong with this sister.

Along the way, Han Xixi didn't say a word, nor did he look at his phone. He just looked out the window the whole time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Zhou Hui and Chen Jiajia looked at each other.

Considering their artist's simple mind and experience, they could guess with their toes that Han Xixi's emotional changes must be related to Lin Xiao.

But I guessed it.

But the two of them were still puzzled - after all, last week, she was wearing a huge engagement ring and was so happy that she was bubbling.

How come it's only been a week and you're so sad as if you're getting a divorce?

The two were puzzled.

As someone who has experienced this, Zhou Hui knows that it is normal for young couples to quarrel and lose their temper, and she does not intend to interfere.

As an avid CP fan, Chen Jiajia was extremely anxious.

It was not convenient to ask Han Xixi, so he sent a WeChat message to Zhou Hui, asking her if she knew the inside story.

Zhou Hui saw the message, rolled her eyes and ignored it.

This made Chen Jiajia even more anxious. She wanted to send a WeChat message to Lin Xiao to ask about the situation, but after thinking it over, she felt that it was overstepping the boundaries. She could only suppress her curiosity and arrived at Xingcheng in a restless state.

It was already noon when we checked into the hotel.

The program crew prepared lunch, but Han Xixi had no appetite and went straight back to his room.

Zhou Hui went to communicate with the program team about the afternoon rehearsal arrangements.

Chen Jiajia accompanied her back to the room. Seeing Han Xixi's pale face, she couldn't help asking, "Sister Xixi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Han Xixi frowned slightly and nodded.

Chen Jiajia also frowned, counted the days with her fingers, and found that it was wrong.

"Are you having your period?" she asked.

Han Xixi nodded again.

Chen Jiajia asked in confusion: "Isn't there still a week left? How come it's advanced?"

Han Xixi felt a little embarrassed and sighed.

Chen Jiajia understood immediately.

As a girl, she knows very well that the menstrual cycle is not only closely related to the physical condition, but also has a great impact on emotions. Being in a very good or very bad mood may affect the regularity of menstruation.

Last time, Han Xixi and Lin Xiao confirmed their relationship as husband and wife, which caused her period to come a whole week early.

Such a shameful thing should not be known to outsiders.

But as an assistant, Chen Jiajia is very dedicated to her job and keeps a close eye on her artists' menstrual cycles. After discovering that their menstrual periods were early, she asked all kinds of questions, and Han Xixi had no choice but to tell the truth.

Because there is precedent.

So this time, Chen Jiajia has concluded that something important must have happened to Han Xixi again.

Jia Jia couldn't hold back her worries and asked about her doubts immediately.

However, this time, no matter how she asked, Han Xixi kept his teeth clenched and refused to reveal anything.

This made Chen Jiajia more convinced that this matter was very big, so big that even she, a fanatical CP fan, could not digest it.

This discovery made Chen Jiajia even more curious and curious about what had happened to this young couple.

"Is my brother-in-law cheating on me?!"

Chen Jiajia couldn't help but guess.

This surprising discovery made her breathe faster and become restless.

Thinking about the official recording of the show tomorrow and the "surprise" prepared by the production team, she became more and more anxious, shocked and panicked, and felt like her brain was about to explode.

He hurried out and called his agent Zhou Hui.

It took several calls before I got through.

"Sister Hui, where are you?" Chen Jiajia asked anxiously.

"At the TV station, discussing with the production crew about tomorrow's birthday surprise. What's going on?"

Zhou Hui couldn't help but become nervous when she heard her hurried tone, thinking that something had happened to Han Xixi.

Chen Jiajia asked: "Have you communicated with the production team?"

Zhou Hui said, "It's all settled. We can just record as usual tomorrow. This can be considered as a gesture of goodwill from us to the program crew. After all, the last time the program crew finished recording the first episode, they invited us to dinner, and the director was in attendance, but our young lady didn't show up, which really embarrassed the director."

Zhou Hui paused and continued, "This time, the program team proposed to take advantage of Han Xixi's birthday to organize a birthday surprise to boost the weak ratings in the mid-term. We have no reason not to agree... By the way, what exactly did you call about?"

After hearing what Sister Hui said, Chen Jiajia swallowed the secret news that was about to be reported.

She thought about it and suddenly realized that she couldn't talk nonsense.

After all, my guess has no real evidence, but the plan of Sister Hui and the program team is already set in stone.

If the program recording was delayed because of my random guesses, it would be equivalent to destroying the relationship between Sister Xixi and the program team in disguise, and further deepening the conflict between the two sides.

This is quite unfavorable to Han Xixi's future career development.

On one side there are groundless speculations, and on the other side there is enthusiasm for mutual benefit and win-win results.

It's clear which side to choose.

After Chen Jiajia made a quick decision, she quickly changed her words: "It's nothing serious, it's just that Sister Xixi is having her period and she's not feeling well. I'm afraid it will affect tomorrow's recording!"

Zhou Hui heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "That's it? It's okay, I'll talk to the production team and move Xixi's rehearsal time forward so she can finish the rehearsal earlier. I'll make her some brown sugar water later so she can have a good sleep tonight. It's okay!"

Chen Jiajia agreed briefly and hung up the phone.

I prayed in my heart: Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, please don’t cheat on me, otherwise I will be so sorry to my sister!
……

the next day.

At 9 am, the fifth episode of "The Sound of Life" was recorded as usual.

The recording rules of this season are similar to those of the previous seasons. Starting from the second episode, all the guests were divided into male and female teams to compete against each other. Then from the third episode, flying guests were added, and the male guests were placed in the female team and the female guests were placed in the male team.

In this way, we can increase the gimmicks and suspense, while balancing the strength of the male and female teams, making the show more interesting.

In this episode, the new guest joining the female team is Taiwan singer Dong Li. He is not very old, just 35 years old, and does not have many representative works, but he has a household name-level masterpiece that makes him well-known to mainland audiences.

He is considered to be a very capable singer among the young generation.

After all, in today's music scene, it is very difficult to have a representative work, and it is even more difficult to reach the level of being a household name and being sung by everyone.

Although Han Xixi has been very popular since his debut and every song he released has been a hit, it is rare for him to become a household name.

"Keep Walking in the Rain" has benefited from the "Singer" platform and has become very popular online, but due to the limitations of the style and category of the song, it can only be considered as a hit and has not yet reached the level of a viral hit.

So when standing next to Dong Li, Dong Li is considered the senior and Han Xixi is just a newcomer.

In this episode, the women's team arranged for Han Xixi and Dong Li to sing his representative work "Tomato" together.

Han Xixi was somewhat resistant to this arrangement at first.

After all, the name of this song "Tomato" sounds quite fresh, and it seems to have a high vitamin C content, but the lyrics actually have a bit of an uninhibited love feeling, which is one of the reasons why this song became popular so quickly.

In addition, singer Dong Li himself has a bad reputation and has been on the hot search list many times because of frequent nightclubs and cheating scandals.

Although the rumors were finally debunked.

But whether it is just a public relations tactic or just a case of flies not biting eggs without cracks is unknown.

Anyway, people in the circle don’t have a very good opinion of him.

Not to mention that Han Xixi has a husband, even she herself is very reluctant to have contact with such people.

But when participating in a show, you can't do whatever you want.

The program team insisted that she and Dong Li sing the song "Tomato" together, and she had no choice but to agree, while also making her own request: only sing together, and never hold hands and interact while singing.

The program crew was very straightforward and generous, and agreed without even thinking about it.

Intense recording in the morning.

When it was almost 11 o'clock, it was Dong Li and Han Xixi's turn to perform and they sang the song "Tomato".

The song was not difficult and they had rehearsed it yesterday afternoon, so the performance in the morning went smoothly. The two talented singers sang this classic with a whole new context and flavor.

If there is anything lacking in it.

The song is about a tragic love story, but the two people singing on the stage had no interaction from beginning to end.

They didn't even look each other in the eye, let alone holding hands. Several times when Dong Li was singing passionately, he looked at Han Xixi, but found that her eyes were elsewhere, so he could only look away awkwardly. This scene became a joke for other guests watching the performance.

Everybody was laughing happily and joking that the two people's voices and vision were completely out of sync, which was simply a new model of commercial cooperation.

With a burst of laughter, the embarrassment on the stage was resolved as a joke, avoiding excessive interpretation and exaggeration by netizens after the show was broadcast, which would have caused some unnecessary scandals and crises.

Soon, the recording of the game was finished.

In this episode, the women's team won in the end, and the key to victory was that the duet of Han Xixi and Dong Li won the critical number of votes, allowing the slightly weaker competition in the beginning to achieve the final overtaking and win the opportunity for the final chorus.

The regular program ends with the female team and the audience singing a classic love song. This segment is the most popular reserved program of the show "Sound of Life" and is also the most anticipated segment by netizens in every episode.

As a singer, Han Xixi stood on the stage and sang with the audience. Inevitably, his emotions were brought into the strong singing and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Even after the song ended and everyone left, she couldn't calm down for a long time.

In the past, the recording of the program would end here, and the guests would be interviewed one by one, and the content of the interviews would be selectively edited into the main film.

But this time, after the chorus ended, the host suddenly said: "Dear singers, and all the audience friends, the recording time of our program today just happened to coincide with a singer's birthday, so our program team would like to take this opportunity to send blessings to this singer!"

Before he finished speaking, the singer on the stage led the audience in applause and turned their eyes to Han Xixi in the center of the stage.

The atmosphere on the scene was ignited again.

Han Xixi felt a little embarrassed being among the crowd.

During this period of time, he was so busy being angry with Lin Xiao that he even forgot his own birthday.

It was only half an hour ago when she was waiting in the backstage that she glanced at the time on the wall and remembered that today was her 23rd birthday.

I couldn't help feeling depressed.

She actually doesn't have much of an obsession with her birthday, and she could celebrate it or not in previous years.

But this year is her first birthday with Lin Xiao after all, and in this year, she has experienced many important life events such as debut, marriage registration, and passionate love. Even she herself feels that this year will be recorded in the history of her life journey, and this birthday is indeed worth looking forward to and commemorating.

But on the eve of his birthday, such a thing happened between him and Lin Xiao.

Now I am still angry, both of us are very awkward, and I don’t know where this relationship should go.

Many kinds.

She no longer had any expectations for this birthday, only endless loneliness and emptiness.

Now, the program group prepared a birthday surprise, but instead of diluting the loneliness and emptiness, it made her look even more lonely in the lively atmosphere. However, she still had to bite the bullet and pretend to be surprised and perform with hundreds of people in the audience.

The stage was bustling with activity.

It was not known whether the program crew did it intentionally or unintentionally, but they arranged for Dong Li, who had just sung a duet with her, to push a cake out from the side of the stage.

Han Xixi's eyes flashed with displeasure.

But he quickly regained his "surprised" look, and I felt that this was a great improvement in his acting skills.

The cake was pushed up, and wishes were made in the lively atmosphere. The guests gave their blessings in turn and then cut the cake.

At this time, the host urgently stopped him and said with a mysterious smile: "Just now everyone sent sincere blessings to Xixi, and Xixi was also very touched. But should I say it? On such a critical day as a birthday, it is the blessings from the loved ones that are most worth looking forward to. Don't you agree?"

This question immediately triggered cheers and applause from the audience.

The content contained in these words is really worth looking forward to.

After all, it has been eight months since Han Xixi officially announced her marriage certificate. During this long period of time, the online attention on her relationship and speculation about who her husband is have never ceased with Han Xixi's popularity.

Some netizens even speculated that her husband was Ma Yao himself.

After all, Jiang Xueying, the original singer of "Later", once said that Ma Yao was her first love, so it can be confirmed that he is a young man.

At this age, and still writing songs for Han Xixi, it's hard not to think of him as her husband.

This speculation has, to a certain extent, alleviated the online smear campaign about "Han Xixi being unfaithful in marriage and having unclear ties with music moguls", shifting netizens' attention to their enthusiasm for supporting the couple.

Now, the host hinted that Han Xixi's husband "Ma Yao" will sacrifice himself. How can netizens not be excited? They are so excited that they are about to spark.

Not just the live audience.

The singers on the stage, no matter how big or small the name is, all had sparkling eyes at this moment, and stretched their necks in anticipation.

They had also heard the rumors online.

You know, the mysterious person who is about to appear is not only Han Xixi's husband, but also Ma Yao, the most famous musician in the current music scene.

If I could get in touch with him and get a song from him, it would be enough to ensure that my music career would take a big step forward.

Old singers will have an extra pension insurance, middle-aged singers will become popular again, and young singers can become more famous after some tidying up.

Who can resist such temptation?
So when the host shouted this, the expectation index on the stage instantly skyrocketed. In comparison, Han Xixi was the calmest one.

Because she knew that Lin Xiao would definitely not come.

If Lin Xiao was willing to show up, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?

What's more, they are now in a critical period where their relationship is being tested. The two have agreed to calm down for a month. Given Lin Xiao's decisive personality, he will never launch a surprise attack or make romantic moves to seek reconciliation during this period.

Regarding understanding of one's own husband.

After a brief moment of shock, Han Xixi quickly regained her composure, but still tried her best to show her surprise and joy in front of the camera.

The host kept the audience in suspense.

In the end, it was announced that it was true that the person who sent the surprise was Han Xixi's husband, but it was just a voice blessing and he did not attend the event.

This turn of events made the audience and the singers on stage feel extremely disappointed.

Although Han Xixi had expected this, he couldn't help but feel his heart tighten slightly, and felt inexplicably disappointed.

on the stage.

The host kept the audience in suspense for a while before finally playing the blessing audio.

Han Xixi held his breath and concentrated, making sure that it was indeed Lin Xiao's voice that sounded on the stage, and his heartstrings were gently plucked again.

"Wife..."

As soon as the two words came out, the whole audience was boiling again.

Hundreds of people have been supporting this digital couple for so long, and at this moment, it is finally confirmed that Han Xixi’s husband is a real person, and his voice sounds very young, pleasant and affectionate.

Even though they didn't see the real person, everyone was still excited and as excited as Chinese New Year.

The applause and cheers at the scene were thunderous, almost blowing off the roof of the recording site.

Han Xixi was the only one in the audience, with his lips slightly pursed and a focused expression, afraid of missing any word Lin Xiao said.

"Unconsciously, it has been eight months since I got married with you. This is your first birthday after we got married. I am sorry that I cannot be with you, but fortunately, you have your favorite music and so many like-minded friends to accompany you. Today you belong to music and the stage, and the rest of your life and years belong to us. I will wait for you to come home. Love you, my wife!"

The calm voice message ended, and the audience burst into cheers.

Even those in the industry who have been performing on stage for a long time can't help but look at Han Xixi with a bit more envy and sincerity.

Loud music was playing at the scene.

The audience clapped for a long time.

In the lively atmosphere, Han Xixi suddenly felt a little aggrieved, and at this moment he no longer had the patience to act in front of the camera.

At this moment, I just want to go home, back to that warm embrace.

But it's just a thought.

As soon as the music stopped and the fireworks fell, she returned to the dressing room. Her mood cooled down along with the environment. She thought of the unresolved conflict between her and Lin Xiao, and her mood was extremely complicated.

Then someone knocked on the door.

Han Xixi opened it and found it was Dong Li, and his emotions instantly became tense.

"Brother Dong, is there anything wrong?" she asked politely.

"It's nothing. I just felt that I had a great time working with you today. Today is also your birthday, so I wanted to treat you to a meal and celebrate your birthday alone... Xixi wouldn't refuse to honor me, right?"

Dong Li smiled greasy and confidently.

Han Xixi was shocked and didn't understand at all. They just sang a song together and didn't even say a few words to each other in private. This kind of relationship was not even colleagues. How could he have the courage and face to think that he would go to dinner with him on his birthday?

What's even more outrageous is that the news that she is married is known to the entire Internet, and she had just shown her love with her husband on stage.

This person is rushing to engage in such outrageous ambiguity. Is he simply brainless and shameless, or does he have a unique taste and just like this?
Han Xixi couldn't understand, and was too lazy to understand.

Considering that the other party is a well-known singer and also a senior, she couldn't offend him too much.

What I wanted at the moment was to reject him gracefully and never have anything to do with this person again.

However, before she could say anything, she felt nauseous for no reason and her stomach churned as she looked at the greasy face in front of her.

Then one of them couldn't hold it in and vomited on the spot.

"vomit……"

This outrageous action frightened Dong Li so much that he took several steps back in shock and finally fell hard on his butt.

I didn't have time to feel the severe pain coming from my tailbone.

Dong Li sat on the ground and raised his head, watching Han Xixi holding onto the door frame and dry heaving, he couldn't stop vomiting at all, his face was as dark as it could be!
"What the hell! Am I that disgusting?!"
