Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Raiden-kiku always gives the starter Pokémon a face wash whenever it sees them; this has almost become a routine procedure.

Kiana had already enjoyed it before, so she was naturally happy to see Bronya suffer the same way.

After a while, Raiden finally released Bronya. Bronya's hair was disheveled, her breathing was rapid, and her face was flushed, like a little girl who had just been bullied.

She glanced at Bai Qianqu with a hint of helplessness and resignation, her eyes also carrying a small amount of dissatisfaction.

This guy just stood there doing nothing, not even offering to help.

Bai Qianqu was also completely bewildered. He had just arrived and encountered this situation, knowing nothing about it. Moreover, why was Bronya staring at him so fiercely? It wasn't like he was the one who had hugged her.

Finally, after a series of chaotic events, the group managed to get into a private room at the restaurant and sit down.

After washing Bronya's face, Thunder Chrysanthemum was satisfied and turned her attention back to Bai Qianqu.

"Little Chiku, is it okay for me to call you that?"

Bai Qianqu didn't know why so many people liked to call him Xiao, including Eden and Ai Li, but he had gotten used to it.

"Anything is fine," he said dismissively.

“That’s great.” Thunder Chrysanthemum clapped her hands. “I’ve always heard Eden mention you, saying you’re a very good junior, so I wanted to come and meet you.”

As she spoke, Lei Dianju looked Bai Qianqu up and down, nodding with some satisfaction.

“Indeed, she is very good at judging people. Eden’s judgment is always excellent. People who are favored by her are definitely not bad.”

Lei Dianju said with a smile, "I went abroad to study for more than half a year before, and I found that although Chinese is now a global language, the dialects in various places are also very interesting, and many foreign language songs are also very nice."

"Actually, I've been listening to all your previous songs, and they are indeed some very good tunes. However, almost all of your previous songs were in Chinese. I'd like to ask if you have any plans to write songs in foreign languages ​​in the future?"

As she spoke, Thunder Chrysanthemum revealed an expectant look in her eyes.

Foreign language songs?

Bai Qianqu blinked. He could indeed commission many foreign language songs, including English, Japanese, Russian, and even many niche languages. After all, he brought all the artworks from the long history of the earth, from various countries.

He just didn't quite understand why Thunder Chrysanthemum was asking him that question.

"Probably, since there are indeed many good foreign language songs."

Upon hearing this, Lei Dianju became very excited: "Then you must be very good at speaking English, right?"

"Yes, there is a little bit."

Lei Dianju chuckled and suddenly said something in a very fluent British accent.

Are you nervous about this clash of the gods? After all, there are so many great gods to fight this time, but it is very difficult.

Bai Qianqu knew that Lei Dianju was testing him to see if he was exaggerating. If it were before, he definitely wouldn't have dared to say that he could speak English, since his English was indeed very poor before, and he barely passed the CET-4 during college.

But he's different now! He's fluent in all languages!

A simple English dialogue is a piece of cake for him!

The dining table fell silent. Bronya and Mei both looked at Bai Qianqu with some concern, as Bronya had never heard of Bai Qianqu speaking English.

Kiana, however, remained oblivious, continuing to gnaw on a chicken leg while looking at Bai Qianqu and Lei Dianju with a bewildered expression. She couldn't understand why the two, who had been speaking normally, had suddenly switched to English.

"I was a little nervous, but I was confident in my songs."

P.S.: My post was under review for ages today, and it's only just been released now! It scared me to death! Please give me some votes to cheer me up! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Chapter 222 High Notes

Lei Dianju raised her eyebrows in response. She hadn't expected Bai Qianqu to answer so quickly and with such perfect pronunciation. She knew that she had spent over a week near London to learn that accent. How did the other person practice?

She became even more curious about Bai Qianqu, so she continued, "This clash of the gods is going to be something special, and if you want to do well, you have to be prepared and you don't want to fail."

Bai Qianqu's reply remained neither humble nor arrogant: "Even in such a war of the gods, before the final result comes out, no one can guarantee that he is the final winner. There is an old saying in China: 'The universe is uncertain; you and I are dark horses.'"

Kiana finally couldn't hold back any longer. She quietly tugged at Mei's clothes and whispered, "Why did your mom suddenly start speaking a foreign language with Mr. Shiro?"

Mei gave Kiana a speechless look: "Don't ask me, how would I know? But Teacher Bai's spoken English is indeed very good."

"Hehe." Kiana scratched her head. "I don't think learning English is very useful. Now Chinese is used all over the world. As long as you know Chinese, you can go anywhere in the world. If I hadn't lived in Europe for a while when I was a child, I wouldn't have learned a foreign language."

Mei said with a hint of helplessness, "Chinese is indeed used all over the world, but there's no harm in learning another language. And look at Teacher Qu Yin, he's so young but can speak fluent English. He even said he might compose English songs in the future. Isn't that amazing?"

Kiana pouted: "What does it have to do with the lyrics if an English song is good? There are plenty of people who can't understand English, but they still listen to it, don't they?"

Mei fell silent after Kiana's words.

Indeed, it seems that, apart from Chinese, other foreign language songs generally focus on melody rather than lyrics. When the lyrics of many foreign language songs are translated into Chinese, it is found that they have almost no meaning, and some even have vulgar lyrics.

But the melody is just good. Many people listen to foreign songs simply because they like the tune. As long as the lyrics are catchy, they don't really care whether they have any deeper meaning.

Given this environment, it's no wonder that foreign language songs have developed in this way.

Bronya was just as surprised as Lei Dianju as she listened to Bai Qianqu and Lei Dianju chatting in fluent English. She was also a little confused about where Bai Qianqu had learned English, as he seemed to have never spoken it before.

Lei Dianju finally couldn't help but ask, "Little Chiku, you really surprise me. I didn't expect your spoken English to be so good. I even suspect that you grew up in London. You know, I lived in the countryside there for several days back then."

Bai Qianqu gave a wry smile and replied perfunctorily, "I learned it on Pixiv before."

"Self-taught?!"

Lei Dianju became even more curious about Bai Qianqu. There are many people who learn music on their own, but not many can learn such a pure and authentic style through self-study.

Eden said that Bai Qianqu did not have a teacher to teach her lyrics and music; she was completely self-taught.

Now it seems Eden wasn't exaggerating; this child truly is a genius.

With such a strong learning ability, it's no wonder that he has gone so far on the path of composition.

Bai Qianqu also became curious about Lei Dianju. As one of the world's top sopranos, she has received numerous honors. Her current status is not only due to Eden's support, but also to her own strength.

If I were to give some of my high-pitched pieces to Lei Dianju to sing, I think she could reproduce them very well, right?

However, she's a pop diva and has Eden, so she probably wouldn't be willing to collaborate with me.

At this moment, Thunder Chrysanthemum seemed to suddenly remember something, and she smiled as she approached Bai Qianqu.

"Little Chiku, if you need a soprano for your next song, you can consider my daughter Mei."

"Ok?"

Mei, who was chatting with Kiana and Bronya, suddenly turned around when she heard this.

"Mom? What are you talking about now? I'm not even a real singer, don't talk nonsense."

Thunder Chrysanthemum looked completely unconcerned: "What does it matter? Don't forget who taught you?"

She turned to Bai Qianqu and continued, "Although Mei is not a professional singer, I discovered from a young age that she has a first-class voice. So I had her follow me to learn singing techniques. I can guarantee that her high notes are now no less than any singer, only slightly worse than mine."

Bai Qianqu glanced at Mei with great surprise.

Mei can sing high notes? He hadn't expected that at all.

Mei felt very embarrassed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Teacher Quyin, please don't listen to my mom's nonsense. I'm just an amateur. Singing is just a hobby for me."

"Who says Mei isn't good enough?" Kiana exclaimed, "Every time we go to karaoke, Mei's high notes are amazing! Once, she even attracted a talent scout who wanted to sign her!"

Bronya nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mei's voice is really good. If she can give it her all, she's no worse than a professional singer. If Mei didn't have something she likes and didn't want to be a singer, I would have pulled you into Anti-Entropy a long time ago."

Lei Dianju corrected, "It's 'Jin Zhu Huo,' of course my daughter should be with me!"

Seeing everyone undermining her, Mei gave up resisting and let out a long sigh.

"Teacher Qu Yin, please don't take it to heart. My mom just likes to exaggerate. Although I can hit a few high notes, I'm not actually that good."

Bai Qianqu smiled without speaking. How could a high note that even Bronya acknowledged be anything but impressive?

He already had a plan in mind: he would definitely try to get Mei to join him in the future, and if possible, he could develop her into his own soprano singer.

Chapter 223 Oh, Susanna!

Lei Dianju, still not finished, continued, "Actually, Mei was so cute when she was little. I only realized that her voice was very suitable for singing high notes because I heard her cry was very shrill."

Meiyi:? ? ? ! ! !

After betraying her own daughter, Thunder Chrysanthemum turned her gaze to Bronya.

"Bronya was skinny when she was little, and her figure was the least outstanding among the three. But now she is graceful and beautiful. It is true that girls change a lot as they grow up."

"Kiana was very naughty when she was little. Every time she got into trouble, the teacher would keep her after school. Since the teacher didn't dare let her mother go, I was the one who had to pick her up."

Bronya and Kiana exchanged a glance and quickly got up to cover Raiden's mouth.

If she continues talking, they might even reveal the color of their underwear.

Bai Qianqu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He dared not continue listening, feeling that if he heard too much of this, he would definitely be silenced by the three royal families.

After finally finishing their meal, Bai Qianqu said goodbye to Lei Dianju and the other two, and then got into Bronya's car to go back. However, this time Bai Qianqu warned Bronya not to speed anymore, and Bronya reluctantly drove back slowly.

Watching Bai Qianqu and Bronya's car leave, Raidenju was still sighing.

"Chikura is such a good girl. Mei, why don't you try to befriend her? Look how sensible Bronya is; she's already good friends with Chikura."

Mei didn't speak, but Kiana spoke first: "I think Bronya has been having romantic feelings lately."

Upon hearing this, Thunder Chrysanthemum was even more exasperated: "Bronya already knows how to find a boyfriend, what about you two?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana and Mei exchanged a glance, and Kiana grabbed Mei's arm.

"I only need Mei!"

Mei looked at Kiana with a wry smile and affectionately reached out to pat Kiana's head.

Thunder Chrysanthemum couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

It seems I'll have a hard time holding little Mei in the future.

When Bronya took Bai Qianqu home, it was already 10 p.m. Bai Qianqu was very tired. After saying goodbye to Bronya, she went straight back to her rented room, washed up quickly, and went to bed to sleep. She slept until 10 a.m. the next morning.

Then came another period of uneventful days, so Bai Qianqu put in extra effort and finished drawing the first three chapters of the novel.

He had just finished organizing the three chapters he had drawn and was about to send them to Prometheus when he received a call from Bronya.

It's said that Lilia and Rosalia have already recorded his song, and now he's just waiting to go and see it.

Bai Qianqu shuddered. Although he was reluctant to listen to that catchy song, he had no choice. After all, he wrote the song, and as a composer, he had to maintain his professional ethics. He had to listen to the song he wrote, even if it was a tearful experience.

He sighed deeply. Even though he had asked for leave, he was still called back to the company by a phone call. Sure enough, he couldn't escape his identity as a miserable working man.

With no other option, Bai Qianqu got up and went straight back to the company, arriving at Bronya's office, where Lilia and Rosalia were already waiting for him.

As soon as Bai Qianqu entered the room, the two of them turned to look at him, their eyes filled with anticipation.
