A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

Upon hearing Lu Han's words, Chen Ye's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

"Hahaha!"

Chen Ye laughed so hard he made no attempt to hide it.

This is really bad luck.

I had just finished clearing mines and was about to go after my crush when I was bombarded with eight consecutive sad love songs.

Such good fortune would shatter anyone's resolve.

Sitting on the other side, Song Yuqi had obviously thought of this as well.

She nestled on the sofa, laughing so hard she nearly fell over, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Deng Chao and Chen He were even more despicable.

The two looked at each other, then burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs and rolling around on the sofa.

"Oh my god, I can't take it anymore! Luhan's expression is just too funny!"

Chen He slapped his thigh and laughed wildly.

Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Wang Leehom, and Wang Mian were completely bewildered by their sudden burst of laughter.

The four of them stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"No, what are you laughing at?"

Wang Lihong scratched his head, looking at Chen Ye with a blank expression.

Wang Mian stood to the side, holding a thermos, also looking utterly bewildered.

Chen Ye waved his hand, forcibly suppressing his smile.

He walked over and slapped Lu Han's thin shoulder.

"Brother Lu, it's no big deal."

Chen Ye spoke earnestly.

"Don't worry, it's just that you didn't get it done and were rejected."

Chen Ye held up two fingers.

"I promise I'll personally helm the project and tailor two even more despairing songs just for you. I've even thought of the titles: one is called 'The Clown Is Actually Me,' and the other is called 'The Self-Cultivation of a Simp.'"

Lu Han's eyelids twitched violently.

He looked at Chen Ye in horror, waving his hands repeatedly, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the wall.

"No! There's absolutely no need for that!"

Lu Han's voice was trembling.

"You should keep those two songs by Ye Zi for yourself; I can't handle them!"

What the hell is this about the self-cultivation of a simp?!

If he were to sing this kind of song, how would he ever be able to continue working in the entertainment industry?

Just as everyone was overjoyed.

Tao Zhe, who was in another corner, suddenly shouted.

"Finally finished!!"

Tao Zhe waved an A4 sheet of paper in his hand and headed straight for Chen Ye.

He slammed the paper onto the coffee table in front of Chen Ye.

"Yezi! Look! I've written it!"

Chen Ye picked up the paper.

My gaze had just swept over the top line of lyrics.

The system's mechanical voice exploded in my mind instantly.

"Ding! High-energy warning!"

"Detected: Tao Zhe, a character from this world, has independently created a song with 100% similarity to a popular Chinese song from Earth, 'Love Me or Him'!"

"Due to the original author's voluntary awakening, this song has been permanently removed from the system store!"

Chen Ye stared at the lyrics, his lips twitching slightly.

Another one.

What's going on with these four veteran artists in the Chinese music scene? Give them a little sunshine, and they'll really create a sun for you!

The system is probably cursing in the background right now.

Isn't this just pure exploitation of the system?

Chen Ye put down the paper and nodded without changing his expression.

"good."

Chen Ye gave his evaluation.

"The melody has a strong sense of ups and downs, and the lyrics are very poignant."

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhe immediately straightened up, unable to hide the smugness on his face.

He turned to look at Jay Chou, Lin Junjie, and Wang Leehom beside him, his chin practically pointing to the ceiling.

"How is it?"

Tao Zhe raised an eyebrow arrogantly.

"Dude, this song isn't any worse than your three, is it?"

"Keep showing off."

Zhou Jielun laughed and casually picked up an empty mineral water bottle from the table and tossed it over.

Lin Junjie joked with a smile.

"Old Tao has been forced to unleash his potential. If he holds back a little longer, he could write songs for the rest of his life."

As the group chatted and laughed, Tao Zhe's gaze suddenly swept around the rest area.

Finally, his gaze settled on Deng Chao, who was drinking water.

Tao Zhe's eyes lit up, and he strode over and put his arm around Deng Chao's shoulder.

Deng Chao was so choked that he almost vomited water.

"Trendy Bro!"

Tao Zhe's eyes were filled with fervor.

"I've made up my mind!"

Deng Chao wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and looked at him warily.

"What...what have you decided?"

"This song! Love me or him!"

Tao Zhe patted Deng Chao on the chest and announced it with absolute certainty.

"I want to sing a duet with you!"

The rest area fell silent for two seconds.

Everyone turned to look at Deng Chao.

Deng Chao was completely petrified.

His hand, holding the water glass, froze in mid-air, his mind blank.

Am I interested?!

chorus?!

Asking someone who's been around in the film and television industry and variety shows to sing such a difficult, high-pitched, divine song with the godfather of Chinese R&B?!

I thought Tao Zhe was just saying that in a moment of passion that night, but it turns out it was true.

"No, no, no!"

Deng Chao realized what was happening, shook his head like a rattle-drum, waved his hands repeatedly, and tried desperately to shrink back.

"Brother Zhe! You're my own brother! Please forgive me!" Deng Chao said to Tao Zhe.

"What's the point of me, someone who can't even read sheet music, getting involved in this battle of geniuses? Wouldn't that just drag your masterpieces down to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean?!"

Chen Ye leaned back on the sofa, watching with great interest.

Tao Zhe immediately became anxious when he heard Deng Chao's refusal.

He held onto Deng Chao tightly and wouldn't let go.

"How could it be a drag! This song needs you! It's not perfect without you!"

Tao Zhe stretched out his finger and pointed it in mid-air.

"Hey Chao, listen to me! You don't need to sing the verses, just sing the harmonies for the chorus!"

"Your unique voice, combined with my vocal transitions, is absolutely the ultimate weapon!"

Deng Chao looked at Chen He with a pained expression.

Chen He turned his head to look at the ceiling, whistled, and acted like a dead pig that doesn't care if it's none of his business.

Let's look at Chen Ye again.

Chen Ye even pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds from somewhere and started cracking them open.

No one saved him.

Deng Chao wanted to cry but had no tears.

If a music industry heavyweight of this caliber is eager to sing a duet with an amateur like you, and you refuse again, then you're being ungrateful and ungrateful.

"Okay...okay."

Deng Chao reluctantly agreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the playful expression on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely serious look.

Although Deng Chao is usually a jovial person, he is notoriously stubborn when it comes to business matters.

"Let's give it a try first." Deng Chao cleared his throat. "Brother Zhe, how do we sing this harmony? You need to give me a starting key first."

Tao Zhe was overjoyed and immediately pulled Deng Chao to the whiteboard to the side, where they began to break down the scales of the harmony line by line.

I taught for a few minutes.

Tao Zhe's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Beautiful!" Tao Zhe clapped his hands. "Brother Chao, your pitch is amazing! And the natural depth and vicissitude in your voice, paired with the line 'Do you love me or him?', is just perfect! It's like it was tailor-made for this song!"

Chen Ye, who was eating sunflower seeds nearby, rolled his eyes.

You guys really know how to play the mutual flattery game.

Is that a sense of vicissitude on Chao Ge's face? It's clearly a sign of declining kidney energy in middle age, leading to a cracked voice.

As everyone watched the two of them meticulously working on the details in front of the whiteboard, they joined in with a few jokes and laughter.

"Alright, Lao Tao, go ahead and record 'Love,' it's very simple," Wang Lihong urged.

Tao Zhe nodded, told Deng Chao to practice first, and then turned and pushed open the door to the recording studio.

Old Liu sat in front of the mixing console, skillfully switching songs.

Tao Zhe came out in about ten minutes.

Two takes.

Their strength speaks for itself; there are no flaws whatsoever.

Chen Ye looked at Tao Zhe as he walked out.

This is a case of dimensional reduction attack.

Those young idols in the Chinese entertainment industry who are terrible at both singing and dancing are not even worthy of carrying the shoes of these old monsters.

Deng Chao clutched the paper covered in chord markings in his hand, muttering to himself, sweating profusely with nervousness.

"Let's go, trendy guy, let's give it a try in the studio!"

Tao Zhe pulled Deng Chao's arm.

The two entered the recording studio and closed the soundproof door.

The prelude begins.

At the climax, Deng Chao took a deep breath and suddenly spoke.

"Do you love me... or him?"

"It's gone! It's gone! It's gone!" came Lao Liu's panicked voice through the earpiece. "Brother Chao, turn it up two notches!"

The recording was interrupted.

Deng Chao's old face turned bright red, and he awkwardly grabbed his hair.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too nervous and didn't find the right breathing point."

Tao Zhe showed no impatience, took off his headphones, and leaned closer.

"It's okay, Chao Ge, just listen to my breathing."

Tao Zhe transformed into a top-notch lecturer, guiding Deng Chao step by step to find his rhythm.

The next half hour was practically a large-scale vocal coaching session.

Deng Chao made frequent mistakes.

Either you enter too early, or your pitch is off, or your voice cracks.

But Tao Zhe was like a tireless repeater, patiently leading him around again and again.

The people outside the shed stared in disbelief.

Chen Ye threw the sunflower seed shells into the trash can and exclaimed that he was an expert.

These two are a perfect match; one dares to teach, and the other truly dares to learn.

Look at the way Tao Zhe looks at Deng Chao, it's like Bo Ya meeting Zhong Ziqi, his eyes practically glowing with envy.

Anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them were about to become sworn brothers in the shed.

After countless torments.

Old Liu pressed the record button for the last time.

This time, Deng Chao finally performed exceptionally well.

That unique, weathered voice steadily supported Tao Zhe's magnificent vocal transitions.

The two voices converged at the climax, unexpectedly creating an extremely catchy chemistry.

"Pass!"

Old Liu took off his headphones and shouted excitedly.

The recording studio door was pushed open.

Tao Zhe and Deng Chao rushed out, covered in sweat.

Old Liu played the audio track he had just recorded directly to the external player.

Hearing the perfect harmony coming from the speakers, Tao Zhe and Deng Chao were so excited that they hugged each other and let out a wild cheer.

Chen Ye rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.

These two old men are unbearable to look at.

At this moment, in the far corner of the rest area.

Lu Han remained in that withdrawn posture, staring blankly at the floor.

The passionate interaction between Deng Chao and Tao Zhe did nothing to dispel the gloom in his heart.

Because it was on the sofa less than three meters away from him.

Chen Ye and Song Yuqi were huddled together, their heads touching.

The two spoke in hushed tones, but in the quiet moment, their voices drifted just enough to reach Lu Han's ears.

"Look at him, isn't he a little pitiful?"

Song Yuqi poked Chen Ye's waist and said in a low voice.

Chen Ye leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs.

"Pitiful my foot! This is what you call 'serves you right.' You had to cause trouble back then, and now you know the pain? Why didn't you do something sooner?"

Do you think Dilraba will even acknowledge him?

Song Yuqi asked curiously.

"It's unlikely," Chen Ye concluded. "If you were in their shoes, and someone had tricked you so badly, ignored you for years, and then suddenly came back saying they wanted to pursue you, would you have said yes?"

Song Yuqi thought about it carefully and then shook her head decisively.

"I'd slap him twice across the face and tell him to get lost."

Chen Ye shrugged.

"That settles it then."

Every word they exchanged pierced Lu Han's shattered heart.

Heartbroken, old iron!

Do you even want people to live?!

Lu Han's eyes welled up with tears, and she felt so wronged that she almost cried.

He suddenly stood up, wanting to get away from the heartless young couple and seek some warmth from his good brother.

He looked around.

I happened to see Deng Chao and Chen He standing next to the water dispenser.

Lu Han regarded them as her last lifeline and hurriedly went over to them.

Before they even got close, they could hear Chen He's barely suppressed, lewd laughter.

"Hey Chao Ge, look at that! The way Xiao Lu acted like she was dying just now was incredible."

Chen He was holding a water glass, his shoulders shaking.

Deng Chao wiped his sweat while laughing.

"How could it not be outrageous? He posted a declaration of being single first thing in the morning, and then he was bombarded with a barrage of sad love songs by Yezi and the others in the studio. This kid has fallen into the sewer of emo and can't get out today."

"Hahaha, that's terrible!" Chen He laughed and slapped his thigh. "If you bring Dilraba over in a few days and that kid messes up again, the show will be absolutely explosive."

Lu Handun remained where he was.

Those clear, doe-like eyes were filled with shock and despair.

It turns out, the Joker really is me.

This world is too cold.

Even his best friend secretly treats him like an electronic pickled vegetable.

Lu Han's vision went black, and he turned around and floated back to his corner, where he skillfully hugged his knees.

He's already a useless deer.

Meanwhile, these old rogues in the music industry are still making rapid progress.

The four big names have finished their solo and duet performances, and Lao Liu's ears are already completely filled with these divine songs.

Zhou Jielun walked to the coffee table, picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and took a sip.

He turned his head and fixed his gaze on Chen Ye, who was cuddling with Song Yuqi on the sofa.

Lin Junjie, Wang Leehom, and Tao Zhe all turned their heads at the same time, their faces full of anticipation.

Jay Chou put down the water bottle, a smile playing on his lips.

"Yoko."

Zhou Jielun raised an eyebrow.

"We've all finished our work."

He walked over and tapped his finger on the table.

"Now, can you bring out the song we five sang together?"

Zhou Jielun's eyes sparkled with barely suppressed curiosity.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Stop hiding it, I'm getting impatient!"

Lin Junjie was rubbing his hands together beside him.

Everyone was staring at Chen Ye.

What exactly does this amazing collaborative song, which could make four music icons willingly play supporting roles, look like?

Chen Ye released his grip on Song Yuqi.

He slowly sat up straight and gave a very casual smile.

"What's the rush?"

Chen Ye pulled out a stack of A4 papers that he had prepared in advance from his pocket and slammed them heavily on the table.
