After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 16 Sister Li, you have chives on your front teeth...
In the late night, the Yunhai Resort Hotel was dotted with scattered lights. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks was strangely hypnotic. Luo Luo, the assistant who was holding a schedule for next week and went to Yao Shuli to discuss the details, yawned and pushed open the door, only to find that Yao Shuli was not in the room.

"Ok?"

Lolo scratched her head, took out her phone and glanced at the time. The phone's light stood out in the dim room, showing that it was already past ten o'clock at night.

Ten o'clock is a very early time for celebrities. Because they often record shows late at night, most celebrities are night owls. In this industry, if you say you fell asleep before midnight, people will look at you like you're a monster.

Teacher He only gets three or four hours of rest a year. Do you think this is a joke?
Lolo didn't think it was late; rather, she felt that Yao Shuli should already be in her room getting her beauty treatments done at this time...

Female celebrities have a very complicated routine before going to bed: cleansing, applying a face mask, applying serum, and doing skincare. Some even sleep with an electric heater on. It can take one or two hours to complete all these preparations.

Where could Yao Shuli have gone if she wasn't in her room at this time?

Luo Luo put away her phone and was about to go out to look for Yao Shuli when she heard footsteps behind her...

Looking back, Yao Shuli, wearing the same gray bodycon dress she wore during the day, pushed open the door and walked in. However, unlike during the day, she was now wearing a maroon baseball cap and a face mask to flatter her face shape.

"Huh? Sister Li, where did you go?" Luo Luo looked at Yao Shuli, who had just returned, with a strange expression. "Why are you still so covered up? You didn't go out, did you?"

The Yunhai Private Hot Spring Resort Hotel was booked out for the recording of "Chinese Music Center" and outsiders could not enter. Therefore, guests did not need to wear masks, hats, sunglasses or anything else for fear of being recognized during internal activities.

They're covered up so tightly, they must have gone out.

What is she doing going out by herself in the middle of the night?
"No, I didn't go out." Yao Shuli's words were a little hesitant. When she looked at her assistant, her eyes seemed a little flustered. As if she was feeling guilty, she closed the door and turned on the light as she went into the room.

After asking Xiao Ai to close the curtains, Yao Shuli took off her hat and mask, revealing her cool and stunningly beautiful face.

Under the lights, her fair skin was translucent and radiant; when she wasn't smiling, she exuded a cool and aloof aura that kept people at arm's length...

Assistant Luo Luo, however, had no interest in appreciating Yao Shuli's stunning beauty. She stood to the side, holding her tablet, staring at Yao Shuli in disbelief, and remained silent for a long time.

"Wh...what's wrong?" Yao Shuli felt a little guilty for some reason when Luo Luo stared at her like that.

Then Luo Luo opened her mouth, bared her teeth, revealing her pearly white teeth, pointed at them, and said to Yao Shuli while her lips twitched:

"Sister A-Li, you have chives on your front teeth."

"..."

Luo Luo was greeted by Yao Shuli's silence. After a brief moment of stunned silence, the pale, bluish face of the opera singer began to blush rapidly at a visible speed.

I happen to have a cushion on hand...

Yao Shuli turned her back and buried herself in the cushion.

If silence has a voice, it must be deafening at this moment.

If there's a crack in the ground, Yao Shuli will crawl into it without hesitation.

……

Time flies and waits for no one. In the blink of an eye, it's the weekend, and it's time for the weekly live recording of "Chinese Music Center".

For a week, Shen Mingen stayed in the resort hotel provided by the production team every day, except for occasionally going out to buy groceries. He did nothing but study, cook, eat, and exercise. His life was regular and clean, and he was positive and energetic every day, which made the production team a little creeped out... It was 8 p.m., at the recording site of "Chinese Music Center".

Perhaps due to the popularity brought by Shen Ming'en's two patriotic songs last week, the number of online viewers on the live streaming platform exceeded one million within just over ten minutes of the show's premiere, and it continues to surge.

Apart from a few mentions of Yao Shuli, the comments were all about "Shen Ming'en," which shows how popular Shen Ming'en was this episode.

This wasn't just happening online; it was happening offline too. The host was warming up the audience, and after only a few words, you could hear people talking about Shen Ming'en from below...

He only wrote two revolutionary songs, and now he's so popular that people who don't know him might think he's become a top-tier artist.

"Hiss...ha..."

While the outside world was buzzing with discussion, Shen Ming'en, backstage, was showing off a bag of spicy strips.

"...What are you eating?" His friend Feng Yucan's lips twitched as he looked at the scene.

"Spicy strips." Shen Ming'en waved the red-packaged Weilong Mala Mala in his hand: "I wanted to buy some when I passed by while I was out grocery shopping a couple of days ago."

MD Tengger's singing is so catchy, "Come on, come on, I really want to come~ Come on, come on, let's have fun~", it's hard not to go in.

"Want one?" Shen Ming'en handed him one.

Feng Yucan wanted to refuse, but the smell of the spicy strips was too tempting. After looking around to make sure no cameras were watching, he secretly took one and stuffed it into his mouth with lightning speed. After finishing, he even licked his fingers with relish. He and Shen Mingen were truly birds of a feather.

"Ha ha……"

Shen Ming'en, who was proudly showing off his spicy snack, suddenly felt someone watching him. He turned around and realized that it seemed to be Yao Shuli.
Perhaps because of the performance, Yao Shuli wore a pure black strapless dress today. Her snow-white shoulders were incredibly alluring when they were exposed. Her straight shoulders and slender figure were simply irresistible!
"Cough..." It's not good to eat alone, so Shen Ming'en simply handed over the spicy strip: "Want one?"

Yao Shuli swallowed hard, her eyes filled with longing as she looked at the spicy strips, but before she could even open her mouth, her assistant Luo Luo interfered again...

"What are you eating?! Don't you know you have a performance soon?! How can you eat spicy snacks right after warming up your voice?!" Luo Luo couldn't help but scold, "You think nobody cares about you, but does that mean nobody cares about our Ah Li either?"

Still eating! I'll take you in!
"...Does she have to listen to you about what she eats?" Shen Ming'en couldn't hold back this time and retorted, "You're her assistant, not her mother!"

Her mother can't control so much.

“You…” Luo Luo didn’t expect Shen Mingen to talk back to her. Just as she was about to retort, the front desk announced that Yao Shuli was going on stage.

"I'll settle the score with you when we get back!" She glared at Shen Ming'en, then helped Yao Shuli straighten her skirt as she went on stage.

Whether it was to annoy her or not, Shen Mingen waved the spicy strips in his hand at Yao Shuli and said, "I'll save some for you when you get back!"

"Hahaha...you're so mean." Feng Yucan laughed as he asked, "By the way, how's your preparation for this match going?"

He hadn't seen Shen Mingen at the rehearsal, and he hadn't seen Shen Mingen write songs or compose music these past few days either. He was a little worried because he was about to go on stage.
