Entertainment: Who exactly is trying to whitewash me?
Chapter 26 What was he doing in the toilet?
Jiang Nian sat alone on the sofa in the living room.
The lingering aroma of fried noodles still filled the air in the living room.
She smelled it and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
She was initially quite resistant to this dating reality show and didn't really want to participate, but she didn't expect it.
I was surprised to find such delicious food while watching this show.
These two meals alone made her feel that this trip was well worth it.
Participating in a dating reality show and enjoying delicious food is such a wonderful thing!
Jiang Nian couldn't help but lick her lips. Actually, she didn't eat much, and Lu Ang had cooked enough for her; she was definitely full.
But for some reason, I just wanted to eat a little more.
"Let's forget about it and talk about it later. We still have dinner tonight, so we can't push him too hard, or what if Lu Ang doesn't cook?"
Jiang Nianxin thought to herself, and immediately nodded very seriously.
From now on, she will only accept food cooked by Lu Ang on this show. She will not be able to eat anything cooked by anyone else, not even steak.
However, Jiang Nian then had a second thought.
They made me such delicious food, and I didn't say anything in return.
Isn't that incredibly impolite?
Upon realizing this, Jiang Nian immediately frowned, feeling that her idea made even more sense.
She couldn't help but stand up and walk around halfway in the living room.
There is a can of tea in the cabinet next to the open kitchen.
It's not a very good tea; it smells just like ordinary green tea.
But at least it's tea.
Since that's the case, I'll brew him a pot of tea. It just so happens that my agent recently enrolled me in a tea ceremony course.
Give it a try!
Jiang Nian immediately started brewing tea with great joy.
Boil water.
Pour the tea.
He wasn't fast, but he was very focused.
The teapot is a small glass pot. The tea leaves slowly unfurl in the hot water, changing color from dark green to light green.
Let's just call it a thank-you gift.
It's just making a cup of tea, nothing special.
It would also be acceptable to explain it to the agent.
After all, their own manager certainly wouldn't want their artist to be labeled as impolite, right?
Jiang Nianxin thought to herself.
I increasingly feel that the decision I made was absolutely brilliant.
She carried the teapot upstairs.
The solid wood floor at the corner of the stairs creaked.
She was slightly startled.
I subconsciously slowed my pace.
When they arrived at Lu Ang's door, it was closed.
She raised her hand to knock on the door.
But his ears twitched, catching the sound coming from the crack in the door.
Jiang Nian couldn't help but move closer and turn her ear to the side.
There was indeed someone singing, and it was unmistakably Lu Ang's voice.
"Why is he singing here all by himself?"
Jiang Nian found it a bit strange.
At the same time, he held the teapot closer and put his ear even closer, wanting to hear what the people inside were singing.
Although Jiang Nian debuted in film, she is a student at a formal film academy.
In addition, her agent has provided her with excellent training in various aspects, and she has taken many music lessons.
I also have some of my own judgments and understanding regarding vocal music.
So once you listen carefully, you'll immediately notice all sorts of problems with the singing.
The first problem was unstable breath control; there were several notes that were clearly difficult to reach.
The parts that were pulled up felt like stepping on a chicken's neck, while the others were pulled up too hard, like shouting in a karaoke bar.
Overall, the singer in the show, Lu Ang, wasn't very good at singing.
The sound was also quite unpleasant to the ear.
So much so that when Jiang Nian first heard it, she couldn't help but frown.
But after listening patiently for a while, her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
Because she heard it a little more completely.
The focus is no longer solely on the sound, as it was at the beginning, but on the entire melody.
Although they were quite far apart and Lu Ang's voice wasn't loud, she couldn't clearly hear what the lyrics were.
However, the overall melody direction is still quite clear.
Even with Lu Ang's less-than-stellar singing skills, the melody of this song still stands out clearly.
It's simple, yet there's something indescribable about it.
Overall, I just inexplicably found it quite pleasant to listen to.
Jiang Nian was so engrossed in listening that she was inexplicably captivated.
Jiang Nian frowned again, but this time it wasn't because it sounded bad, but because she felt the sound was too soft.
As she listened, she could sense that Lu Ang's voice was gradually getting higher, as if he was about to reach the climax of the song.
So she wanted to hear it more clearly.
So she took two more steps forward and pressed her ear closer.
This time, she was practically pressed against the doorway.
He pressed his ear against Lu Ang's door.
Then finally, she managed to make out the lyrics a little.
Although the sound was not loud and a bit muffled, it was still discernible.
"One cup to the rising sun, one cup to the moonlight... one cup to tomorrow, one cup to death... the soul will no longer be adrift..."
Jiang Nian's hand holding the teapot stopped moving.
He felt like he was nailed to the doorway.
Although I only listened to it once, and only that one time, those lyrics seemed to be etched into my mind.
It's catchy and easy to remember, and most importantly...
It sounds great!
It's absolutely gorgeous!
What song is this?
I've never heard of it before. It's unlike any popular song on the market.
Jiang Nian loves listening to music, and she especially loves good songs. One of her hobbies is finding good songs on various new song charts and saving them to her playlist.
Moreover, she has joined many groups and has many friends and classmates with whom she can talk about this topic.
She couldn't guarantee that she had heard 100% of the good songs.
But a song like this is one I'll definitely love and never forget after just one listen.
She could never be someone who has never even heard of it, as she is now.
And she was certain that this was not an old song.
It's probably not a new song.
Otherwise, there's no reason why Lu Ang has already learned it, but she hasn't even heard of it.
So, after considering all the possibilities, it seems that only one possibility remains.
This song has not yet been released to the public.
Only Lu Ang or a few other people knew about it.
Lu Ang is one of them, and he can also sing.
Doesn't that mean... this song is very likely Lu Ang's song?
When the thought came to her mind, Jiang Nian was startled.
She knew a bit about Lu Ang, and after seeing it trending on social media, she specifically looked it up on Baidu Baike (a Chinese encyclopedia).
Knowing that the other person was just a member of an idol group, and that when they debuted, they were known for their poor singing skills, lack of songwriting ability, and poor dancing skills.
This also caused quite a stir.
Especially since Lu Ang won against someone with considerable creative ability in a competition and successfully debuted.
This can be considered a black mark on Lu Ang's record, and it is frequently mentioned when he is trending on social media.
This serves as evidence that Lu Ang is an incompetent and ignorant person, which is why he made so many mistakes.
But this song...
Although Jiang Nian doesn't consider herself a professional, she might think that if she were someone working at Lu Ang's company...
Upon hearing a song like this, one would never treat it casually, and it's absolutely impossible not to think it's a good song.
Therefore, it's natural that such a good song wouldn't be given to Lu Ang, who's still trending on social media.
Countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Nian's mind.
However, all signs seem to indicate that this song was Lu Ang's own original composition.
It was written by Lu Ang himself.
Apart from that, absolutely no one knows!
But... how is that possible?
Isn't it said online that Lu Ang is completely ignorant and incompetent, with absolutely no creative ability?
She stood at the doorway, holding a teapot, motionless.
Suddenly, Lu Ang's self-righteous attitude when he grabbed the room yesterday flashed through my mind.
Lu Ang deserved a beating today for publicly pointing out everyone's relationships in the living room.
Lu Ang, who was cooking noodles in the kitchen earlier and told her he was "just messing around," was quick and efficient.
And Lu Ang, who is embroiled in scandals online and is still being insulted by netizens.
And now, Lu Ang is serious about singing, and there's a good chance he's even written a really good original song.
Are these people really the same person?
How many faces does he have?
Jiang Nian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The comments section started flooding with messages.
"??? What is Nianbao doing, pressing his ear against the door???"
"Hahaha, Jiang Nian, you're a female celebrity! Is it appropriate for you to be peeking through a crack in the door?"
"So the tea was brewed for Lu Ang??? No, Nianbao, wake up!!!"
"There's no one else in this room. Case solved. The tea was for Lu Ang. Sis, have you forgotten that he's the king of all the internet's blacklisting scandals?"
"After Lu Ang entered the house, he took the microphone and camera far away and then went into the bathroom. I don't know what he was doing."
"He's been in the bathroom for almost half an hour, hasn't he?"
"Wait, what is Lu Ang doing in the toilet? Is he constipated?"
"For someone like you, being constipated for half an hour is definitely a sign of hemorrhoids."
"Hilarious, you wouldn't be secretly playing games in the bathroom, would you?"
"What game is he playing? I suspect he's doing something bad in the toilet."
"Tell me more about what bad thing happened."
"We're all adults, those who understand, understand."
"That Lu Ang is definitely doing some kind of 'craftsmanship' in there."
"You're looking at the trending topics while trying to comfort yourself, aren't you?"
"Damn, the scene is too beautiful for me to imagine."
"The 30-minute toilet break by the 'Black News Guy' should be edited into a paid segment by the production team."
"Jiang Nian, you're still listening?! He's the kind of person who can stay in the toilet for half an hour straight!!!"
"Nianbao, run! There's a big bad wolf behind the door!"
"Oh no, this woman is getting more and more serious. Is she really getting hooked?"
"Jiang Nian, you came here to film a dating reality show, not to dig up dirt on me!!!"
……
……
Jiang Nian had to admit that she really loved this song. She fell in love with it after just one listen, and wanted to listen to it again after hearing it once.
So he just lay there by the door, listening quietly.
But after a while...
The singing inside suddenly stopped.
Jiang Nian's heart skipped a beat.
Discovered?
For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt, like she had done something wrong.
Even she herself couldn't understand where she had done something wrong, or why she felt so guilty.
In short, driven by this emotion.
She turned and ran.
The teapot wobbled slightly in front of my chest, almost spilling.
He carried the teapot and ran all the way up the stairs.
Going down the stairs, it was almost always two steps at a time.
The slippers made a slapping sound on the stairs.
It made her feel incredibly excited.
She had never run so fast on the stairs of a villa before.
Back in the living room, I put the teapot on the coffee table and sank into the sofa.
My heart was pounding. My chest felt like it was filled with a drum; I hadn't recovered from running so fast.
She closed her eyes.
That song is still playing in my head.
When you step into this place of joy, carry all your dreams and aspirations on your back.
The melody played over in her mind again. It was simple, but she couldn't stop listening. Like a seed, it had already taken root in her mind.
She opened her eyes and took her phone out of her pocket.
Unlock the screen. Open Notes. Your finger hovers over the top of the screen for two seconds.
I typed a line of text.
He seems to be able to sing?
After typing, I moved the cursor to the end of the sentence, deleted the question mark, and then added it back.
In the end, that question mark remained.
Lock the screen. Place the phone face down on the coffee table.
Zhao Qian's camera panned back from the stairwell. He had just heard footsteps on the stairs, but when he turned around, he only managed to capture a fleeting image of Jiang Nian running down the stairs. Now, seeing her sitting alone on the sofa, her face flushed, he couldn't tell if she had run away.
The live chat started flooded with question marks. What happened to Nianbao? Didn't she just take the tea upstairs? Why did she run back down? And why is her face so red?
Zhao Qian refocused the camera on the entire living room. Jiang Nian was still sitting on the sofa, her fingers unconsciously twirling around the ends of her hair.
At that moment, Lu Ang finally emerged from the bathroom in his room.
He went to the table in the room, picked up the water he had prepared earlier, and took a long gulp.
He practiced in the bathroom for almost half an hour.
At first, he felt he was making progress. But the more he progressed, the more uncomfortable he felt, perhaps because his pronunciation was not scientific.
Later on, my throat started to feel dry and itchy.
"I feel like I should probably find a teacher to teach this guy, or maybe I can learn some singing skills from him?"
Lu Ang couldn't help but think about it.
He then plopped down on the sofa.
I habitually brought up the system panel and glanced at the number of haters in the upper right corner.
250...
He was momentarily stunned, then quickly focused his mind and began to count carefully.
Number of digits.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands!
Two hundred and fifty thousand!
To be precise, it's 256738!
This morning, the amount was already over 100,000, and this afternoon, tens of thousands more came in.
And besides taking advantage of some freebies from Jiang Nian's fans this afternoon...
There was basically nothing else gained.
In other words, it's still that unexpected event from last night that's at play.
After a day of reflection, Lu Ang had a pretty good idea of what had happened.
It's highly likely that the company bought him a new trending topic to smear him or for some other reason.
The effect of this trending topic was clearly very strong, and it continues to exert its influence even now.
During this period, he needed a lot of hater points to draw more singing skills ice cream or other singing skills to improve his singing ability.
Just when you're about to fall asleep, someone brings you a pillow.
"We can never repay Mr. Xu's kindness!"
Lu Ang chuckled.
At the same time, I couldn't help but look at the lottery page.
If you spend all 250,000 yuan, what will you get in return?
Since we're all tired from practicing singing, let's start the lucky draw!
