I refuse to be a plagiarist

No matter how worried you are, you don't have to be so distraught."

His eyes narrowed slightly into slits.

Although he was mentally prepared, Hasegawa had never expected that this guy, who was usually very smooth, would react so...straightforward this time.

[Hey, isn't that a bit too much? ]

When the other person isn't paying attention, I quietly curl my lips.

The girl's suspicion made Hasegawa feel somewhat despised.

This was actually a very insignificant thing, but compared with his previous high spirits, it formed a very strong contrast at this moment.

How should I put it...it's quite frustrating.

If he could explain it directly, he really wanted to sing Jay Chou's "Dong Feng Po" in front of the other person as a sign of respect, and let this little girl experience the world-shaking Chinese charm.

【Hmph~】

[Just wait and see, by then I will make sure your eyes pop out! ]

With this somewhat childish attitude, after returning home from school, Hasegawa Hide, who had prepared the template in advance, immediately began searching for related songs in his mind, and even temporarily put aside the work of updating.

This time, he not only had to create a song of excellent quality, but also had to make the lead singer of the team, Yukinoshita, feel the challenge of being overwhelmed.

——Who made this stinky sister look down on others!

[Challenging, challenging.....]

"Have it!"

A flash of inspiration came to my mind.

Perhaps the thoughts in his mind were inadvertently more inclined towards how to make things more difficult for the young lady. He couldn't help but recall the songs that had moved countless young men and women to tears in KTV in the past.

——Coral Sea

This song is selected from Jay Chou's legendary album "Chopin in November". Because the album's tracks are too powerful and it has won many awards, it is also nicknamed "November's Arrogance" by countless people.

As one of them, Coral Sea also has extremely high requirements for the singer because of the clear and unique voice of the original singer Lara.

Singing is easy; singing well is difficult.

On the grid paper of the five-line score, the familiar melody flows slowly as if it were given life.

In front of Hasegawa, who seemed to be a cheater, the composition and lyrics of "Coral Sea" were soon coming to an end.

However, for a song, this is just the "main body" part.

In order for the team to perform perfectly at the school festival, he still needs to carefully complete the arrangement work bit by bit...

Chapter 48: The Coral Sea Storm

海平面 远方 开始 阴霾

悲伤 要 怎么 平静纯白

My face always carries

一 抹浅浅 的 无奈

.........

After a period of silence, Hasegawa finally completed his preparations and brought "Coral Sea" to Yukinoshita Haruno.

"Here."

He placed the stack of music scores in his hand on the girl's desk.

Although it was just one word, the confidence and arrogance contained in it were something Hasegawa had never shown before.

This is the Power of Jay Chou, the stand-in!

But his boasting was destined to be a fallacy.

Because although the daughter of Yukinoshita in front of him is proficient in horse riding, Aikido and other things that are incredible for high school girls, there is nothing commendable about her in terms of music.

She can listen to songs and read lyrics, but as for the music score...

【What's this? 】

[I don't quite understand it, but it looks like he's pretty amazing. ]

[Damn it, if I had known I would have gone to the teacher with Yukino to learn. ]

He tried hard to hide his inner unrest on his face.

As we said before, every inch has its own merits.

Otherwise, with Yukinoshita Haruno's personality and competitive spirit, she would not be content with just being the lead singer in the team, which is a glamorous but low-threshold position.

——She has to take on at least two or three items!

However, her strong mentality allowed her to suppress the strangeness in her heart.

Looking at the only lyrics she could understand, she even turned passive into active and boldly discussed with the boy in front of her:

"Wow, that's amazing.

I never thought you could hide it so deeply."

He closed his eyes, lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders as if admitting defeat.

As for whether this work is authentic or not, she trusts her own intuitive judgment.

"But Hasegawa, how did you come up with this song?

Especially the lyrics, could it be......"

My thoughts couldn't help but fly in some strange directions.

In Yukinoshita's opinion, the so-called creators naturally have some intention or starting point behind their works.

Things like songs often contain an unknown story behind them.

【Hasegawa, you........】

I couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation deep in my heart.

As a celebrity on campus, Yukinoshita Haruno would find love letters secretly thrown into her shoe cabinet almost every day when she arrived at school.

Except for this guy in front of me...In front of him, the once dazzling me seemed to have become an ordinary passerby that could be seen everywhere.

This even made her doubt her own charm for a time.

However, the song in front of her made Yukinoshita Haruno change her previous opinion, and she couldn't help but start to imagine it.

The lyrics of "The love between a seabird and a fish is just an accident" and the way the song is sung by a man and a woman...

——Is Hasegawa trying to convey something to me through this song?

For example, the difference in family background between the two, or the natural gap between people from two different worlds...

The idea gradually became more certain.

As her thoughts deepened, the girl began to feel a little surprised and shy.

[This guy actually, actually...]

The expression on his face was no longer as relaxed as before.

But what she didn't know was that this time, she was obviously deceived by her overly active brain again.

The guy in front of her had no other messy ideas except wanting to make her feel the pain of continuous high notes.

An inevitable regret?

Just kidding, it doesn't exist.

However, what is a coincidence is that the emotions and story that the original work of this song wanted to express did indeed confirm what Yukinoshita Haruno imagined.

For more details, please refer to the MV of "Coral Sea" in which lyricist Fang Wenshan made a guest appearance.

This music video, which is said to be directed by him personally, describes the story of a lyricist who does not understand romance but is raped by a mistress and is given the crown of forgiveness while persisting in his creation.

The male protagonist, who is full of realism in his thoughts, and the female protagonist, who is devoted to pursuing romance, were originally two sweet people who were completely separated because of the conflict in their ideas and the intervention of outsiders... Wow, it's so miserable for Lao Bi.

When Hasegawa saw that scene, his mind was filled with contempt for mistresses and cheaters, as well as sympathy for the honest male protagonist played by Fang Wenshan.

Angry, shaking, cold!

Is this world ever going to get better? When will honest people be able to stand up?

But then again.

Facing Yukinoshita Haruno's mysterious eyes, as if she had already decided on him, Hasegawa felt a little uneasy at this moment.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched his face, trying to see if there was anything accidentally stuck on it.

"Hehe... I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."

"what?"

“Humph, idiot.

Actually, you and I are not completely without a chance......"

"........."

【What on earth is this stinky little sister talking about? 】

Yukinoshita's words filled his mind with black question marks.

However, Hasegawa Hide could never have guessed that because of the song Coral Sea, the girl in front of him had already classified him as an "interesting suitor".

[It's really inexplicable.....]

Following the girl, Hasegawa Hide suppressed his doubts and came to the activity classroom he had visited some time ago.

But compared to the emptiness in the past, this time, other members of the team had already arrived here in advance.

Under the guidance of Yukinoshita, he briefly got to know this group of men and women who were dressed in all kinds of popular and rebellious styles, and then he walked to a corner and silently looked at the team in front of him.

At this time, Yukinoshita Haruno took the opportunity to distribute the music scores in her hand to the band members one by one.

Compared to those who need to figure out the music score bit by bit according to the composition, Hasegawa's arrangement work done in advance saved everyone present a lot of effort.

But even so, they still have to master the performance to a certain level before the school festival officially begins.

Always stay with me.

As this is her first school festival after entering high school, Yukinoshita Haruno does not want to leave any regrets for herself.

This is her pride.

Now that you're already involved, you must make a name for yourself!

The unique yet extremely beautiful melody continued to echo in the activity room.

Even Yukinoshita Haruno herself was tirelessly practicing the female voice part again and again.

Unlike what Hasegawa expected, although there were some embarrassing moments in the beginning, this girl's learning ability was extraordinary.

The cooperation between them is becoming more mature...but at this moment, a fatal problem is placed in front of everyone.

That is - who should be responsible for the male voice part.

Several people gathered together and looked at each other.

Finally, as if they were inspired by something, everyone widened their eyes and turned their gazes to the boy in the corner who had fallen asleep at some point...

Chapter 49: Brothers in Distress

"Hey~

Hasegawa, wake up.

Hasegawa~"

.........

Gently rocking Hasegawa Hide who had fallen into a deep sleep at some point.
