Don't call me a singing god, I just want to go back to doing scientific research.

"I didn't notice."

"But you're really amazing," Gu Yang turned her head, her eyes shining as she looked at Ling Luo, and pretended to cry twice: "Waaah, if you weren't here with me, I wouldn't even know how to play the claw machine, what would I do?"

"...Well, let's just leave it at that. Just don't get ripped off."

"Shut up."

Ling Luo looked at the person in front of her speechlessly: "What are you thinking about?"

After saying that, he picked up his backpack, looked around, and said, "Let's go sit over there and then have lunch."

"oh!"

The two found a bench in the rest area and sat down. Gu Yang drank lemon tea while scrolling through his phone, looking at the enthusiastic comments under Ling Luo's Weibo post and grinning like an idiot.

With a swipe of my finger, I saw the notification.

"Teacher Zhuo helped promote your song."

Ling Luo turned her head to the side, and sure enough.

Ling Luo took out her phone, opened Green Bubble, and said thank you.

At 3 a.m. tonight, Ni Yuelan also reposted his Weibo post, and this morning, other familiar celebrities also reposted it.

Gu Yang laughed and said, "Ling Luo, everyone in the comments section is saying that Teacher Zhuo overslept again. He only saw what happened last night today. His fans are so cute, hahaha."

  

Ling Luo smiled faintly: "Many artists are like this; inspiration flows at night, but their minds wander during the day."

"Uh... I've never seen you have trouble getting up during the day."

Gu Yang angrily withdrew his gaze and muttered, "How is someone like me, who sleeps for twenty hours a day and still feels sleepy, supposed to live like this?"

For a moment, he was busy scrolling through Weibo, while Ling Luo sat next to him, quietly watching the crowds coming and going in the amusement park, her expression calm, seemingly lost in thought.

Sunlight streamed through the glass dome of the mall, casting a faint golden hue over Ling Luo.

The two of them fell silent and stopped talking.

Gu Yang turned his head and stared at it, somewhat lost in thought.

"Ling Luo".

"Um?"

Ling Luo responded, but before she could say anything more, she turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just calling out." Gu Yang's voice sounded strangely cheerful.

Ling Luo looked at his face, illuminated by the lamplight, with a hint of indulgence in her tone that she herself didn't realize: "What do you want to do this afternoon?"

Gu Yang's eyes lit up instantly. He immediately leaned over, quickly switched the phone screen, and then shoved the screen in front of Ling Luo.

"Look at this, it's an escape room, I heard it's super fun!"

Ling Luo frowned: "Aren't you afraid of ghosts? You're still playing around?"

"You're here, so don't be afraid."

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the two came out of the secret room. Gu Yang was listless, while Ling Luo was refreshed.

Ling Luo glanced at the time: "It's almost time for my appointment with Teacher Ni, let's go."

The two arrived at Haicheng Hotel, gave their names, and were led by a waiter to a private room on the fourth floor.

"The environment here is quite nice, and the decoration is really grand." Gu Yang couldn't sit still and looked around curiously, as if he had never seen the world before.

Ling Luo paused for a moment as she picked up the teapot, then said softly, "If I remember correctly, this place seems to be your family's property."

So, what are you doing, acting like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden?

Therefore, Yang's movements froze on the spot: (＃°Д°)

How come he didn't know?!

Instantly, he withdrew his searching gaze, sat up straight, and his face said, "I'm not curious, I'm not curious at all."

Ling Luo looked at his obedient appearance and shook her head helplessly.

Before he could even settle down for two seconds, Gu Yang crept over again and asked in a low voice, "Can I get them to pay for it for free?"

Ling Luo looked at him speechlessly: "It's your family's business, and you're asking me?"

"Hehe, just kidding." Gu Yang sheepishly shrank back.

Ling Luo helplessly poured a cup of tea and placed it in Gu Yang's hand.

Not long after, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Ni Yuelan walked in.

"Teacher Ni." The two immediately stood up and greeted her politely.

"Ling Luo, Gu Yang, it's been a long time," Ni Yuelan said with a smile, putting down her bag. "You're here so early?"

"I just arrived a short while ago."

"That's good. I was worried about being late. By the way, Ling Luo, the song you posted last night was really good," Ni Yuelan said with a smile. "My fans went to listen to it and almost switched allegiance."

Gu Yang leaned forward, glancing past Ling Luo, and grinned at Ni Yuelan: "Then Teacher Ni, you'd better get ready. Ling Luo will be releasing many more songs like this in the future."

"Hey, I'm not at a loss either. I still have a song by Ling Luo. Once I release it, those fans will come back."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group ordered their food.

Once all the dishes were served, Ling Luo got straight to the point: "Teacher Ni, the reason I invited you out today is twofold: firstly, to catch up, and secondly, to ask if you'd be interested in participating in this year's New Voices Songwriting Camp."

"I knew you wouldn't come here unless you needed something," Ni Yuelan joked, then sighed with some regret. "If you had asked me two months in advance, I would have agreed without hesitation. But I only recently agreed to Le Hong's offer, which is why I didn't respond when Teacher Zhuo mentioned it to you last time."

Last time, because she chose Ling Luo's song as the main theme song for the special feature, Le Hong had already set his sights on Ling Luo.

Last time, she even specially composed a traditional Chinese style song to compete with Ling Luo's "Tangled Silk Play" on the same stage. This time, she broke her promise, which not only damaged her own reputation but also made Ling Luo an enemy again.

Ling Luo nodded, indicating her understanding.

"However," Ni Yuelan changed the subject, took out a folded piece of paper from her bag, handed it over, and smiled, "If I had known you were going to participate, I would have made a list for you. These singers are all quite good, mostly first or second tier, and there are also a few who aren't very famous but have solid singing skills. You can take a look."

Ling Luo and Gu Yang were both taken aback, and quickly accepted it.

The paper was covered with dense handwritten notes: names, company affiliations, singing style characteristics, and even some personalities known only to those in the industry.

There are a full thirty people; you can tell how much effort the person who prepared this information put into it.

"Thank you, Teacher Ni, this is truly a pleasant surprise." Ling Luo expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

"It's nothing. I just feel a little regretful that we couldn't collaborate this time." Ni Yuelan waved her hand. This kind of thing wasn't hard for her to obtain. She often participated in singing programs and knew quite a few talented singers.

Making a list will not only help Ling Luo avoid detours, but also allow some talented singers who currently have no gigs to connect with a rising star, killing two birds with one stone.

After thinking for a moment, Ni Yuelan asked, "By the way, how many singers are you still missing?"

"I gave Xingchen four spots, including Gu Yang. Then I confirmed Suo Binbin and Feng Yuxi. Now I'm looking for two or three more female singers with different styles, and then we'll have the team."

Ni Yuelan did the math: "That means your singer group only has nine people. The show has fifteen episodes in total. Nine people is a bit too few."
