Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 29. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight

At 11:, the two arrived at a five-star hotel in Yunzhou.

Assistant Chen Jiajia was waiting at the door. When she saw the license plate, she hurried to the driver's seat to open the door, but saw Han Xixi getting out from the passenger seat.

"Sister Xixi..."

Before she finished her words, she caught a glimpse of a handsome guy sitting in the driver's seat.

Although he is dressed simply and his skin is not very fair, his angular facial features are still so handsome that people can't take their eyes off him, and his temperament is in no way inferior to any male star in the entertainment industry.

Chen Jiajia's eyes widened.

"Sister, this is..."

"Uh!"

Han Xixi was a little embarrassed.

It would be awkward not to introduce him in front of Lin Xiao, but after hesitating for a long time, I still didn't know how to introduce him.

So it took him a long time to utter, "He's the person on my... um... marriage certificate!"

Chen Jiajia lost ten brain cells before she understood this sentence.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh...it's my brother-in-law!" she shouted loudly, and her whole body became clear.

Before she was hired as Han Xixi's assistant, she was just an ordinary junior student and also a fan of Han Xixi.

As a die-hard fan, she was quite unhappy when she heard Han Xixi officially announced her marriage.

However, this emotion instantly disappeared after seeing the official photo full of atmosphere.

She instantly went from being a fan of Han Xixi to being a fan of her and her newlywed husband - even though the man didn't even show his face.

But the more this happened, the more Chen Jiajia, who was deeply in love, could use her imagination. Just by looking at a picture, she became dizzy and unable to extricate herself.

Because I was too involved.

So when people learned that Han Xixi's so-called official announcement was just a whitewashing operation devised by the company, and her husband was just a contract worker.

Chen Jiajia's heart was broken!
But now, a handsome guy appeared in front of her, even more handsome than she had expected!

Chen Jiajia immediately sat up in shock from her dying illness and felt that she was able to recover again.

The word "brother-in-law" came out of his mouth.

When Han Xixi heard the assistant call him that, his face suddenly turned red and he was extremely nervous.

"Jia Jia, stop yelling..."

"I'm not yelling nonsense. He and you have obtained a marriage certificate, so he is your husband in the legal sense. Isn't he my brother-in-law?"

"..."

Han Xixi was speechless. "Don't... don't say anything nonsense. If Sister Hui hears it..."

"Don't worry, sister, I'll keep my mouth shut!"

Chen Jiajia patted her flat chest to assure them, but her eyes were always stealing glances at the two of them, watching Lin Xiao skillfully carry Han Xixi's luggage and medicine, and the blush behind Han Xixi's ears that never faded away.

Chen Jiajia's lips were about to break from pursing.

"You call this a contract couple? Real couples don't have it, so naturally, okay... I'm so embarrassed, I'm so embarrassed!"

She said excitedly.

Lin Xiao had no idea what this little girl was going through.

Han Xixi's voice was still a little hoarse when he heard her speak just now. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't try to be brave in the performance tonight. If your voice is really not in good condition, ask your agent for leave, okay?"

Han Xixi nodded.

"Then I'll go first, call me if you need anything!"

"Ok!"

Lin Xiao nodded, still a little worried, but knowing that it was pointless for him to stay, he drove away.

Han Xixi watched the taillights of the car disappear around the corner, and her tense mood finally relaxed.

When I turned around, I saw Chen Jiajia's pair of starry eyes full of emotion, and I was shocked.

"Jia Jia, you..."

"Don't worry, sister. I'll keep my mouth shut. I promise I won't say a word!"

As she spoke, she even pretended to zip up her mouth.

Han Xixi frowned: No, what are you promising? !

……

After a rest at noon, by the afternoon, Han Xixi's voice had improved somewhat, but it was still a little hoarse.

Go to the performance venue for rehearsal.

As soon as the smoky-voice version of "Later" came out, agent Zhou Hui and the organizers of the performance all frowned.

The reason why Han Xixi became popular on the stage of "The Voice of China" is her extremely clean and ethereal voice.

The song "Later" has a relatively deep voice, and the feeling it brings out is heart-wrenching, so it became an instant hit on the entire Internet when it was released six years ago, and has become a highly praised lovelorn song among contemporary young people.

But Han Xixi's voice brings a different interpretation to this song.

Under her interpretation, there is no heart-wrenching pain. The tone of the whole song is relief and calmness, but also a hint of regret.

It is hard to say which of the two singing styles is better.

But it is undeniable that Han Xixi's version is eye-opening. I didn't expect that "Later" could be sung so fresh and clean.

She became an instant hit because of this.

But now.

The smoky-voice version of "Later" on the stage lost all its ethereal flavor. At first listen, it was a complete imitation of the original.

No wonder everyone frowned when they heard it.

After the rehearsal, manager Zhou Hui anxiously asked the organizer: "How is it going? Can our Xixi perform normally tonight?"

The organizer looked helpless: "The singing lineup has been officially announced long ago. It is definitely not possible to replace her now. But her performance... the audience will boo her later. You have to bear the consequences yourself!"

Zhou Hui was speechless and could only nod in agreement.

As things stand now, they can only resign themselves to fate.

……

The performance officially begins at 7pm.

Lin Xiao did not leave Yunzhou, but found a hotel opposite the stadium where the performance was to be held tonight and booked a room there.

The room window faces the gymnasium.

Although it's not as immersive as the live performance, you can enjoy the entire show without paying for the ticket, so what else do you need?

After taking a shower, he sat on the balcony with his legs crossed and waited for more than two hours before Han Xixi finally came on stage with the hoarse version of "Later".

It was obvious that her throat was still not healed.

Although she tried hard, the whole song still has a completely different flavor from her highly acclaimed version.

Lin Xiao actually thinks this version is also good.

Except that the tone is not as good as before, Han Xixi's breath control and emotional expression from beginning to end are first-class.

Moreover, his voice became hoarse, which was an accident and the audience should understand.

But when the show ended.

When Lin Xiao opened Douyin and clicked on the local page, he found that the sky had fallen.

"What the hell is this song about?"

"The harder some people work, the more it proves that their championship title is undeserved!"

"This is the strength of the champion?!"

"I now truly believe that she won the championship with the help of her sponsor!"

"You said your voice is hoarse, so what? Isn't it your job as a singer to protect your voice? I paid full price for the ticket!!"

"Refund the ticket!! I came here today just to listen to the song "Later", but in the end I got to listen to this?"

"..."

Lin Xiao watched dozens of videos in a row.

Except for a few who expressed understanding for Han Xixi's condition, the vast majority made all kinds of ugly complaints and insults, obviously thinking that even if her voice was not in good condition, she should bear the consequences herself, and the audience should not pay the price.

Lin Xiao felt that it was understandable that netizens were so angry.

People have spent real money to watch the show. If you have a cold or fever, it’s your business, not a reason for you to feed shit to everyone!

But then again.

If someone else had made such a mistake, the audience might not have reacted so strongly.

But who made you the champion?

Since you have enjoyed the glory that others have not enjoyed, you have to bear more stringent standards and requirements than others.

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!" Lin Xiao sighed.
