Chapter 363 360 Peppa's Gift

"Wow, Yiyi, look!"

Golden Lion Group, afternoon, long after the second episode of the variety show ended.

Bai Yi changed out of her formal attire for more comfortable everyday clothes.

Standing in front of the elevator, she was fixing her black hair. Just as she put on her sunglasses, she heard her mother's exclamation beside her.

Upon hearing the sound, I looked over and saw Zuo Jiangqin excitedly raising her phone.

"what?"

At first glance, it was a trending search list from a certain platform.

"Look! You're on the list!"

As Zuo Jiangqin swiped her finger, a hashtag about her appeared prominently at the bottom of the trending topics list.
"Bai Yi, 'He'".

Seeing this, Bai Yi didn't speak, but her starry eyes suddenly widened.

She quickly reached out and tapped the search term, and the first result was a clip of her live performance of her new song on a variety show.

It's only been a few hours, and it already has hundreds of thousands of views.

Then look at the top comments below.
Yes, the first and second ones are both men and women sharing their regretful past relationships.

Well.
Although it's not a direct praise of my singing, the fact that it resonates with everyone shows that my skill level is up to par, right?
Moreover, this is a simple version without any arrangement.

It will definitely be even more popular once the official version is released!

"Look, the popularity is still rising! I told you it was the right decision to have you participate in this variety show! You didn't trust your mother's judgment."

"Hehe. Isn't it because my songs are good?"

"Without a platform or exposure, you actually believe gold can shine? What era are we living in? It's all about traffic! Traffic!"

"."

Bai Yi pursed her lips, too lazy to argue.

Only then did she realize that the two of them were so busy checking the trending topics that they had forgotten to press the elevator button.

Just then, an elevator came down from upstairs, and Bai Yi quickly pressed the "down" button to avoid waiting for another one.

"Hey, do you think there will be any big projects interested in you after this? Linmen's projects are small, so international projects are preferred. How about Sakura Country?"

Speaking of this, Zuo Jiangqin's eyes darted around, glancing at Bai Yi beside her.

"Hey, you know, that lemon's appearance fee is ten times yours! Do you think if she invited you to collaborate in Sakura Country, you could reach her level in a few years?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi frowned, but then suddenly realized something and asked directly,

How do you know how much her appearance fee is?

Why would an artist reveal such a private topic as income for no reason?
Moreover, he had a previous conflict with Lemon.

When Zuo Jiangqin suddenly said this, Bai Yi, who knew her character well, instantly had a bad feeling.

But Zuo Jiangqin didn't think anything was wrong. Just as she was about to explain, the elevator rang.

"Ding dong~"

The elevator is here.

The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing Yan Huan, dressed in a suit and tie, standing inside.

He was the only one inside.

"!!"

Just as Bai Yi was about to go in, she looked up and met his gaze.

Even through her sunglasses, Bai Yi's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

But soon, she reacted.

His stunned expression instantly turned into a cold, expressionless face, and even the action of lifting his foot to enter changed to standing still.

"."

Seeing this, Yan Huan blinked and smiled helplessly.

He didn't say much, but simply smiled and greeted Zuo Jiangqin.
"Aunt Zuo."

"Oh my! It's Yan Huan!"

In contrast, Zuo Jiangqin became extremely excited upon seeing the handsome young man inside.
"Oh my, oh my, long time no see!"

She quickly went inside, looked Yan Huan up and down in her suit, and clicked her tongue in admiration.
"You look so good in that suit, even your auntie wouldn't recognize you. Hey, Yiyi, why don't you come in?"

"I'm not taking this train, I'll take the next one."

Upon hearing his mother praise Yan Huan's appearance, Bai Yi also secretly glanced at Yan Huan, whom he hadn't seen for some time.

Indeed, Yan Huan always seemed more mature and elegant in a suit than she had been in school.

Ok?
etc.
Is it because of the clothes?
I always felt that Yan Huan had a faint...
Husband feeling?
It's that kind of feeling, like you're newly married, rich and successful, riding high on the crest of success.

Is this right? !

After breaking up with me, shouldn't he be drowning his sorrows in alcohol and living a muddled life every day?
Why does this scumbag get to live so well, like he's in heaven?
"Oh dear, look at this silly child, he gets shy as soon as he sees you. Haha!"

Bai Yi was still grumbling to herself when Zuo Jiangqin forcefully pulled her into the elevator.

"Oh, Mom!"

Bai Yi glared at Zuo Jiangqin, but she was completely oblivious to the subtle tension that had arisen between her daughter and Yan Huan.
"Let's go to the basement level, basement level. Could you please press a button for me?"

"Okay, Auntie."

Seeing Yan Huan's natural expression, Bai Yi glared at him resentfully before looking away.

My mom pulled me up here; I didn't come up on my own.

Normally, I wouldn't come up even if you begged me!

"Humph!"

Bai Yi crossed her arms, her mind filled with the image of Yan Huan inviting her onto the elevator, and her cool and aloof demeanor as she pushed up her sunglasses to refuse.

Zuo Jiangqin looked Yan Huan up and down, becoming more and more satisfied, especially after what happened with Lemon.

Although she knew about Yan Huan and Ye Lan's relationship before, she thought that as an adopted son, he probably wouldn't get much.

Otherwise, think about it, why would he still live in that shabby place in the South District? Shouldn't he move to the Jinghe District?
But now that I know he's interning at both the Lion Group and Yip's International, and considering his connection with Lemon...
Although he may not be the most eligible bachelor, he is still a rare and desirable man.

Zuo Jiangqin didn't want to worry about what would happen next for the time being, but right now she had to use his connections to get Lemon to help Yiyi out.
"."

In the elevator, Zuo Jiangqin's scrutinizing gaze made Yan Huan feel a little uncomfortable.

However, since he was secretly observing Bai Yi's condition, it could be considered a negation of that.

He found that Bai Yi was in pretty good condition.

Moreover, ever since Ye Shiyu calmed down that night, he has been frequently visiting the Golden Lion Group and has discovered that Bai Yi has shown no signs of using any cheat codes.
While I felt relieved, I still felt guilty about what had happened before.

Actually, aside from Aruya who automatically uses her powers, Bai Yi is the one who uses her abilities the most restrained.

At first, she tried to splash paint on her desk and draw a turtle, but failed, and she thought the girl was extremely nasty.

Compared to other players who start with zero frames, bombard Tokyo with tentacles, or play clone battle royale games, Bai Yi is really gentle.

She cried her eyes out when she mistakenly thought she had killed Sakura Miyako, and even taught Ye Shiyu how to do makeup and dress.
He had been lying to her all along, and even after he was exposed, she still hoped he would chase after her and win her back.
"Oh, speaking of which, Auntie should thank you, Yan Huan."

The building is very tall, so the elevator doesn't go very fast down.

Fortunately, no one else came in during the process.

"Thank me?"

Zuo Jiangqin's sudden words left Yan Huan and Bai Yi completely bewildered.

Bai Yi, in particular, stared wide-eyed at her mother, looking shocked as if she had been betrayed by her own people.

Yan Huan made you feel wronged and cried in bed until midnight, and you're thanking him?!
"Yes, Auntie didn't expect you to be so close to that Lemon when you were little. Tell Auntie honestly, did you say something to Lemon to ask her to take extra care of Yiyi?"

"what?"

"Oh dear, don't hide it from Auntie. Lemon already told Auntie that it's all because of you. She's planning to give Baiyi a helping hand in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan recalled that Lemon had previously offered to treat her to a meal.

Is it because you didn't come that you want compensation?

But how did she find out about her past relationship with Bai Yi?
Thinking about it, Yan Huan glanced at Bai Yi.

Just then, behind her sunglasses, Bai Yi stared wide-eyed at Yan Huan.

"Well"

Seeing his gaze, she quickly looked away and maintained her aloof demeanor.

But at the same time, I was slightly taken aback.

"."

Yes, speaking of which, I slapped Lemon before.

Bai Yi was originally prepared to face her furious revenge.
She hasn't made a single move these past few days.

It was completely incomprehensible to Bai Yi that someone of such high status seemed to have suffered a loss in silence.

but.
If it's because Yan Huan went to see her, then everything can be explained.

Could it be that he wasn't actually flirting with Lemon that day, but rather because...
Own?!
Upon thinking of this, Bai Yi's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Recalling the scene when Yan Huan came to the set on the first day, she had imagined the meeting as a scenario where "the scumbag Yan Huan was deceiving the actress again."

But now, it has become "Yan Huan knows she owes him something, but doesn't dare to propose getting back together, and only dares to secretly protect her ex's career."

I never expected him to care about me so much.
So, she's still thinking about getting back together?

"."

Bai Yi's expression changed slightly, and she seemed to be unable to suppress her emotions.

But the next second, she immediately patted her cheeks, forcing herself to calm down.

"Calm down! Bai Yi! Don't be so easily fooled like a puppy! He treated you like this before, showing you kindness, beckoning you, and you ran over there like a puppy!"

Besides, he secretly went to find lemons for my sake, and didn't I slap him for his sake?!

That cancels it out!
Correct!
Offset!
Thinking angrily, Bai Yi suddenly pursed her lips.

but
Like this.
Doesn't it feel like a two-way street?

It's like that story Henry wrote.
Um.
What's coming?

Ah, I remembered it!

A gift from Peppa Pig!
Ok?
I think that's what it's called?
It's the story of that young couple who, without prior communication, subconsciously thought of each other's needs!

That.
That.
Doesn't that mean we already have the same tacit understanding as a married couple even though we're not married yet?!
"."

Thinking this, Bai Yi nervously pinched the hem of her skirt.

He secretly glanced at Yan Huan's profile through his sunglasses, and his face immediately flushed.

Well.
It seems he cares about me quite a bit.
If he could break up with Hitomi Sakuramiya and then come begging me to get back together, it wouldn't be impossible to give him a chance to change his ways.
"Ok?"

But when Yan Huan, who was standing to the side, sensed her gaze and turned to look at her, she found that she was still aloof and expressionless, as if she didn't want to talk to Yan Huan. "Auntie, I think that with Bai Yi's songwriting skills, she would shine even without Lemon's help. I listened to the song she sang just now, and it was very good."

"."

The aloof Bai Yi pursed her lips, her grip on the hem of her skirt tightening even more.

Idiot
The lyrics inside are all insults directed at you; how can you say they're pleasant to listen to?
Do you like me that much?

Zuo Jiangqin glanced at the two, who seemed to be mutually attracted, and chuckled.
"That's right, that's right! Haha, Lemon saw her sheet music before and said it was superb!"

"Huh? When did you show her my sheet music?"

"Oh, so what? It's just a sheet of music. Anyway, Lemon said you can 'do two things at once,' acting and singing, isn't that great?"

"You really are..."

Bai Yi was furious, but there was nothing she could do about her bastard mother, so she could only grit her teeth and turn her head away.

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan also glanced at Zuo Jiangqin.

"Ding ~"

Before I could say anything, the elevator arrived.

It is one layer.

"Then I'll be going now, Aunt Zuo."

"Hey, come visit Yiyi more often in the future!"

Who asked him to come?!
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi thought to herself angrily.

But on the surface, she didn't say anything, just crossed her arms and maintained a cool demeanor until the elevator doors slowly closed.

They were going to the basement level to drive back.

As soon as the elevator doors closed and started descending, Yan Huan could even hear Bai Yi immediately erupting inside, arguing with Zuo Jiangqin.
"From now on, don't touch my sheet music, you know? If there's a next time, I'll turn on you immediately, you believe me?"

"It's just one."

As the elevator slowly descended, the sounds of the mother and daughter arguing inside gradually faded, revealing the cat on her shoulder. The cat and Yan Huan looked at each other.

"Meow~"

Yan Huan couldn't help but chuckle.

Honestly, he's admiring Bai Yi more and more.

Having been by Zuo Jiangqin's side for so long, all he's done is carelessly splash paint and draw turtles.
With this kind of patience, Baiyi, you will succeed in whatever you do!

"But it's really strange, Meow-chan."

"What meow?"

Yan Huan pinched her chin, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Lemon, aren't you being a little too enthusiastic towards me and Bai Yi?"

"Maybe she likes you too, meow?"

I don't think so.

As she spoke, Yan Huan also took out her phone, intending to send a message to their "small group" to ask if they needed to buy some groceries or something.

um, yes.

After that night, Yan Huan initially felt a little awkward, but An Le immediately created a "three-person group chat".

They call themselves a "team to crack down on cheat codes," but what they post every day is:
"President, are you going home together tonight?" "We're out of oil at home, Xiao Huan, can you buy some?" "Vice President Sakura, which pair of slippers do you like? I'll buy them for you."
Anyway, it's all these trivial little things, but it always feels like we're "a loving family."

All I can say is that euthanasia is still too authoritative.

That night, not only did Sakuramiya Hitomi realize what it meant for "my lower limit to be several times your upper limit," but she also didn't feel frustrated; instead, she felt extremely happy.
Therefore, Hitomi Sakura's attitude is actually quite ambiguous right now.

"President, may I... go back with you tonight?"

"Okay, I'm downstairs now, come down."

"What groceries does Anle need to buy? @Anle"

"No need, I'm all set. We're having hot pot tonight!"

The thought of having hot pot together that evening made Yan Huan's face flush.

Oh, procreation is killing me!
"Ok?"

However, just as he was about to open a video website to watch some videos, the interface of the app he hadn't closed earlier appeared.

Inside, it's still a live recording of Bai Yi's performance.

However, compared to the previous top comments, the current top comments that are quickly rising to the top seem a bit off.
As Yan Huan read the comments above, the smile on her face gradually faded.

He squinted and clicked on another video recommended in the comments section below.

After putting on Bluetooth headphones and watching the entire video while standing still...
He suddenly frowned and turned to look at the Golden Lion Building behind him, as if he had realized something.

"."

The next second, he immediately took off his Bluetooth headset and ran back to the Golden Lion Building.

The floor number pressed by the elevator happened to be the floor of Golden Lion Entertainment.

Lemon is still inside.

"Huh?! What the hell?"

Jinghe District, Bai Yi's boudoir.

Bai Yi, holding his guitar, had just hung up the phone with his agent when he immediately opened a video website.

Clicking to search for your own name brought up many videos.

The video of her performing "Fan A" at the comic convention, the music video for that song, and clips from the live broadcast on the variety show.

But none of these videos ranked higher than one of the videos that was rapidly gaining popularity.

I was "borrowed" by a genius female singer

Bai Yi's eyes widened, and she quickly opened the video inside.

After reading it, her eyes widened; she was clearly deeply shocked.
"Huh?! You're saying I plagiarized?!"

But as she looked, she realized something was wrong.

Because it contains many segments comparing musical scores and melodies, it looks very credible.

Bai Yi frowned and exited the video to go to the blogger's homepage.

She discovered that it was an online female singer's account with hundreds of thousands of followers.

In the past, her videos were all short videos of cover songs with their chorus parts. However, just a few days ago, she uploaded an "original song".

His name is "that person".

Bai Yi listened to the melody and found that many melodies were indeed similar, differing by only a few notes.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Bai Yi was initially puzzled, wondering if the two of them had just happened to run into each other.

But as she was thinking, she suddenly remembered what Zuo Jiangqin had said in the elevator.

In an instant, she understood everything.

"."

"boom!!"

The next second, she kicked her own door open.

But then they saw Bai Yi carrying a guitar in one hand, his eyes red as he scanned the living room on the first floor, like a bloodhound searching for a hateful enemy.

"crash"

However, she didn't see anyone at all; all she heard was the sound of a mahjong machine shuffling from one of the rooms on the first floor of the villa.

"Wow, you're on a really good day! You've won several big hands!"

"Yeah, my daughter's famous, so I need to make some money at the mahjong table too."

"Hahaha, come on, stop talking!"

Inside, Zuo Jiangqin was covering her mouth while arranging the cards. The next second, the door to the card room was kicked open.

"boom!"

Zuo Jiangqin was slightly taken aback. She looked up and was not scared half to death.

But then he saw his daughter looking at him with red eyes, holding her guitar in one hand as if it were a large knife.

"Zuo! Jiang! Qin!!"

"Ouch, ouch, what are you doing?!"

Zuo Jiangqin was slightly taken aback, but before she could react, Bai Yi was already so angry that her hair was about to stand on end.

She gritted her teeth, raised her guitar, and slammed it onto the card table, startling all the ladies who screamed and jumped to their feet.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Zuo Jiangqin also quickly got up, but still watched helplessly as Bai Yiyi smashed all the cards on the table with his guitar, scattering them all over the floor.

Upon seeing this, Zuo Jiangqin's eyes widened, and she looked as if she were beating her chest and bowing her head in apology.

"Are you crazy?! You've ruined my perfect foundation!!"

"A pure suit of ten thousand! I'll make you have a pure suit!!!"

Seeing that her mother was still unaware of what was happening and was still shouting "all of a kind," Bai Yi was completely blushing.

She gasped for breath, picked up the guitar again, turned around, and smashed it down once more.
"clang!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

“Yiyi!!”

"Are you crazy?! Ouch!"

The other ladies were so frightened by Bai Yi's outburst that they scattered like birds and beasts, rushing out the door.

Only Zuo Jiangqin remained inside, struggling to dodge Bai Yi's raised guitar, using the mahjong table as the center.

As soon as she saw the other ladies leave, she tried to hide while shouting.

"Hey, don't go! You guys still haven't paid me back for the losses from the last few games!!"

"clang!"

"Yiyi!! Are you crazy?! Ouch... I'll smash your mother to death, then you'll regret it, won't you?!"

"clang!!!"

"Yiyi!!!"

The mahjong room was in complete chaos.

Inside the villa, a dramatic scene of "killing one's mother without regret" is unfolding!
