He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

"Not at all," Xiaoyu said. "Weiwei's singing skills are undeniable."

And since she dared to sing, she must be confident.

I'm curious how she'll adapt it.

Completely copying the original is definitely not an option; the styles don't match.

She'll probably rearrange the music, right?

"We definitely need to rearrange the music," Xiaoya nodded. "Weiwei's team is very professional."

However, rearranging the music is no easy task; it requires both preserving the essence of the original and fitting Vivi's style.

Haolin's arrangement is already quite complete. Making too many changes might ruin the feel, while making too few changes won't sound like Weiwei's song.

It's quite challenging.

"So," Da Peng concluded, "this song tonight is the biggest highlight of the entire concert."

If Weiwei sings well, it will be a big step towards a successful transformation; if she doesn't sing well... she might be ridiculed.

The pressure is considerable.

The four chatted as they followed the flow of people toward the security checkpoint.

They were filled with anticipation and curiosity—what would Lin Caiwei's version of "Starlight and Dust" be like?

……

Around 9 PM, at the Yunding Mansion luxury residence.

The living room was lit with warm lights, and Chen Hao was sitting on the carpet with Sisi, playing with building blocks.

The little girl was clearly distracted, glancing up at the clock on the wall every now and then at her father's phone on the coffee table.

"Daddy," Sisi put down her building blocks again, moved closer to Chen Hao, and looked up at him with her little face, asking.

"When will Mom start singing the songs you wrote? Why hasn't Aunt Chen called yet?"

Chen Hao patted her head and smiled, "It'll be soon, just wait a little longer."

"Mom's concert has a set schedule; she can't just sing whenever she wants, she has to go in order."

"But Sisi wanted to look at it." Sisi pouted, but still obediently didn't make a fuss, only glancing at her phone again.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the phone on the coffee table vibrated, and the screen displayed "Lin Caiwei video call invitation".

"It's here!" Sisi's eyes lit up, and she immediately crawled over to grab the phone.

Chen Hao smiled and picked up his phone first, connecting the video call.

The person appearing on the other end of the screen wasn't Lin Caiwei, but Chen Siqi.

She appeared to be in a relatively dark area, with the side of the stage and some equipment visible in the background.

"Brother Hao," Chen Siqi greeted him, her tone much warmer than before.

After this period of time, especially after witnessing Chen Hao's musical talent firsthand, her attitude towards Chen Hao has changed from initial wariness and scrutiny to respect and even admiration.

"Assistant Chen." Chen Hao nodded as well.

"Aunt Chen!" Sisi's little head squeezed into the camera lens, waving excitedly, "Where's Mommy? When is Mommy going to sing Daddy's songs?"

When Chen Siqi saw Sisi, she smiled and said, "Sisi, be good. Wait a little longer, your mom will be singing soon."

I'll point the camera at the stage right now, can you see it?

She adjusted the angle of her phone.

The image shook a few times before settling down.

Through the lens, one can see that the huge sports center is packed with people, and glow sticks form a sea of ​​stars.

Lin Caiwei stood in the center of the stage, under the spotlight.

Her look tonight was absolutely stunning.

She wore a light blue gradient dress, which transitioned from almost transparent tulle at the shoulders to a deep starry blue at the hem.

The dress was adorned with tiny crystals and sequins, shimmering like stars under the lights.

Her long, slightly wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore an exquisite crystal headband, making her look like a princess.

Her makeup was clean and fresh, highlighting her already outstanding features, especially her clear eyes, which shone brilliantly under the stage lights.

"Wow! Mommy looks so beautiful!" Sisi exclaimed excitedly, pointing at the screen. "Daddy, look! Mommy's on stage! She looks like a fairy!"

Chen Hao was indeed amazed when he looked at Lin Caiwei on the screen.

The woman on stage is different from the woman I usually see in videos, and even from the woman I vaguely remember from that night three years ago.

This is a meticulously crafted and packaged, exquisite beauty that is so dazzling that it's impossible to look away.

"Yes, Mom is very beautiful," Chen Hao said softly, a complex emotion welling up inside him.

This radiant woman was the mother of his daughter, and also a special yet awkward presence in his life.

At this moment, Lin Caiwei on the stage picked up the microphone, cleared her throat, and her crisp voice spread throughout the venue through the speakers, and also reached Chen Hao and Sisi's ears through Chen Siqi's phone.

"Some of you may have already guessed the next song," Lin Caiwei said, her voice tinged with a hint of amusement and a touch of barely perceptible nervousness.

"Yes, it's a song that's been very popular on many music platforms recently - 'Starlight and Dust'."

The original singer and composer of this song is teacher Haolin.

A cheer and murmurs erupted from the audience.

Clearly, many fans know this song.

Lin Caiwei continued, "Everyone must be very curious as to why I chose this song."

Actually, Teacher Haolin is a...good friend of mine.

Upon hearing the word "friend," Sisi immediately frowned, turned to look at Chen Hao, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Dad, why did Mom say this song was written by her good friend? It was clearly written by Dad! Mom should have said it was written by Sisi's dad!"

Chen Hao quickly put his finger to his lips and lowered his voice: "Sisi, be good, keep your voice down."

Mom is a celebrity, so she can't let others know that she has such a cute daughter as Sisi, nor can she let others know that Dad exists.

This is... an adult matter, very complicated.

You'll understand when you grow up.

Sisi blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite. Although she didn't quite understand, she still nodded obediently, though her little mouth was slightly pouting, clearly dissatisfied that her mother hadn't mentioned her father.

Lin Caiwei, on stage, was unaware of her daughter's subtle mood. She took a deep breath and continued:

"Teacher Haolin is very talented. He not only generously authorized me to sing this song, but also specially rearranged the song according to my voice and style."

So what you're about to hear is Lin Caiwei's version of "Starlight and Dust".

I hope you all like it.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

The prelude begins.

It's completely different from the original version sung by Chen Hao himself.

The original version opens with steady guitar arpeggios, carrying a narrative feel and a sense of vicissitude.

This version begins with a crisp, wind-chime-like electronic sound effect and light piano arpeggios, with a more brisk rhythm and a more dreamlike atmosphere, instantly drawing the listener into the realm of "starlight".

Lin Caiwei raised the microphone and sang the first line:

"Whose wandering is reflected in the midnight shop window? The faded poster still retains that line of dialogue..."

Her voice was clear and bright, carrying her unique delicacy and gentleness.
