Touya Yaoyao

Ye didn't stay long after all. He left with the contract after Bai Taoshi left, and even reminded Yu Yaoyao repeatedly before leaving to remember their bet.

Seeing the other person's obviously happy expression, Yu Yaoyao had a rare urge to hit them, but she held back in the end. After all, winning a fight is against the law, and losing a fight means hospitalization, and she didn't have the habit of looking for trouble.

Just after Ye Qishi left, Bai Taoshi appeared out of nowhere. He leaned against the door with his arms crossed, looking at Yu Yaoyao who was staring at him with a surprised expression, and couldn't help but ask:

"What trap has he set for you this time?!"

Looking at his concerned expression, Yu Yaoyao shrugged indifferently and said:

"It's nothing, we just made a bet."

Seeing her like this, Bai Taoshi couldn't help but frown. He looked at Yu Yaoyao with a puzzled expression and subconsciously hesitated before saying:

"Why are you making a bet?!"

In response to Bai Taoshi's question, Yu Yaoyao glanced at him, then suddenly smiled and said gently:

"Because... I want to marry the person I love in the future."

She spoke frankly, her tone carrying the sweetness and reproach of a young girl. Her short sentence left Shiratoya stunned.

This was probably the first time in all these years that Bai Taoya had seen Yu Yaoyao with such a genuine smile of joy.

He was no longer indifferent or perfunctory; the smile reached his eyes, no longer like before, as if he were wearing a perfect fake smile mask.

Her eyes crinkled into crescents as she smiled, her crimson lips curving slightly upwards. Her expression was both composed and smug, as if she were talking about something worth boasting about.

Even though what she said had nothing to do with him, seeing Yu Yaoyao's smiling face made Bai Taoshi feel inexplicably better.

He subconsciously reached out and tucked Yu Yaoyao's long hair behind her ear, looking at her astonished face, and said gently:

"Then I wish you... that your wish will come true."

Yu Yaoyao seemed surprised by his words. Her surprised expression relaxed again, and she nodded vigorously, as if she had really agreed to Bai Taoshi's request.

After tidying up Yu Yaoyao's hair, Bai Taoshi watched her close the door with a bright smile. After the door closed, he thought about the phrase "I want to marry the person I love in the future," and a sweet feeling inexplicably welled up in his heart.

He was just about to go back to his room, and hadn't even taken a few steps, when it suddenly dawned on him: Yu Yaoyao had said he could marry the person he loved, but she hadn't said that person was him!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stop and turn around to walk back.

Just as Yu Yaoyao sat down on the sofa, before she could even think about how to win her bet with Ye Qishi, she heard a knock on the door.

Although she didn't know who was knocking, out of politeness, Yu Yaoyao got up and opened the door, and then saw Bai Taoshi appear at the door again.

Yu Yaoyao looked at Bai Taoshi with suspicion, wondering why he had returned. Bai Taoshi looked at Yu Yaoyao, and the two stared at each other for a long time. Finally, Bai Taoshi coughed lightly, breaking the silence and saying:

"I don't know how to sing the song you wrote yet. Can you help me?"

His use of the word "probing" quickly suppressed the question that was about to slip out, replacing it with a less offensive word in order to make himself appear more virtuous, even if his intentions were not pure.

Seeing Bai Taoshi's extremely shy and reserved demeanor, and not wanting to ruin the reputation of her favorite singer, Yu Yaoyao didn't hesitate to go out and speak:

"Sure, it won't waste any time anyway."

Although Jay Chou might not care what his songs would look like in another world, as a fan who has never met him, she felt it was her duty to defend his dignity and protect his reputation.

Seeing Yu Yaoyao agree so readily, Bai Taoshi couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. He had thought that Yu Yaoyao would refuse outright, but he hadn't expected her to agree.

Since she agreed to his unreasonable request so easily, does that mean she also has some feelings for him?

Well, given her personality, it shouldn't be that fast. So, we still need to take it slow and not rush things, lest we alert her.

Yu Yaoyao is a straightforward person. Since she promised Bai Taoshi that she would sing that song for him, she naturally wanted to see it through to the end. Therefore, when Bai Taoshi heard Yu Yaoyao's various requirements for him to sing, he felt that he had developed great doubts about the profession of singer.

He used to think that being a singer was just about being able to sing, but he never imagined that being a singer would be so complicated!

The pitch, the texture and quality of the timbre, the emotional expression of the song, the vocal technique, and even the rhythm of the music are all issues.

"No, no, your singing here is too unclear. The lyrics are completely inaudible. How can it be considered a song if the lyrics are not clear?!"

"This should be a low note, but you're singing a high note. It sounds so out of place!"

"Although this song is sharp, it's still on the gentle side, so your voice shouldn't be too high or too harsh; it needs to be gentler."

"You didn't get the rhythm right; it was too fast. Slow down a bit."

……

After trying for most of the day, not only Bai Taoshi, but even Yu Yaoyao was on the verge of collapse.

She rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on, and thought she was just asking for trouble. But when she thought about how Shiratoshi was singing one of her favorite songs in his own messy voice, she felt that everything was still bearable.

Helpless, Yu Yaoyao could only calm down, strum the guitar in her arms, look at Bai Taoshi, and slowly sing:

"My mom says not to take things too seriously, but a sense of mission has caught up with me and I can't sleep. If you're talking about swearing, you need to be a little skillful..."

Bai Taoshi stared blankly at Yu Yaoyao's earnest singing and playing. It was just an ordinary song, but in his eyes, it seemed exceptionally different.

At this moment, Yu Yaoyao was not singing an ordinary song to him, but a love song. Her tender and affectionate manner made his heart start to beat uncontrollably.

Just as Bai Taoshi was lost in the song, Yu Yaoyao finished playing the last note. Looking at Bai Taoshi, who was still daydreaming, she couldn't help but ask with concern:

"Did you learn it?!"

Bai Taoshi stared blankly at Yu Yaoyao, then nodded subconsciously. He hurriedly picked up the lyric book and, under Yu Yaoyao's expectant gaze, began to imitate her rhythm.

Fortunately, Shiratoshi wasn't too stupid and had some musical talent, which prevented his singing from being too off-key.

Although the progress wasn't huge, any progress was already quite good, and Yu Yaoyao gained confidence, beginning to guide Bai Taoshi into a better state.

Meanwhile, the director, observing the two seemingly oblivious to their surroundings in the concert room, couldn't help but smile. He then turned to the assistant director beside him and said:

"This indirectly proves that Yaoyao didn't plagiarize Bai Yingdi, right?!"

The assistant director was speechless at the director's smugness; in fact, his expression was rather complicated.

Even though the fact that Yu Yaoyao plagiarized Bai Taoshi has already been clarified, the director is still holding a grudge. I don't know what the director is trying to prove!

Moreover, given how harmonious the two are now, if the footage were actually broadcast, it might lead to rumors of an affair, or even accusations that the two are playing with netizens.

So, instead of gloating here, director, you should first worry about the overly ambiguous atmosphere between the two of you. But this thought was cut short as soon as it took root, because Aiden arrived.

Aiden glanced at Yu Yaoyao, who was playing and singing, and Bai Taoshi, who was singing along with Yu Yaoyao, and then entered the performance room as if no one else was there, making a noise.

This small noise successfully broke the extremely ambiguous atmosphere between the two, and then, under Bai Taoshi's suppressed displeasure and Yu Yaoyao's delighted gaze, she smiled and said:

"I'm leaving tomorrow, Yaoyao, would you like to see me off?!"

Without hesitation, Yu Yaoyao put down her guitar, ran to Aiden in a few steps, looked at him pitifully, and asked reluctantly:

"Senior sister, you're leaving already?! Aren't you going to stay a few more days?! There are still so many fun places in Asia you haven't been to yet. It would be such a waste to leave next year!"

Aiden looked at Yu Yaoyao with amusement, and couldn't help but reach out and tap Yu Yaoyao's forehead, scolding her playfully:

"I can't help it, time is tight, so I can't stay any longer. But you, will you come to see me off tomorrow?!"

Upon hearing Aiden bring it up, Yu Yaoyao quickly expressed her opinion:

"Of course I'll go! You're my senior sister, if I don't go, who will?"
