Chapter 147: Chapter 137: Is Ji Xizhi Allergic to Fluffy Romance?!
Ji Xizhi paused her hand on the computer, looking a bit surprised.
Bai Xing quickly added, “Sister Zhi Zhi, this is my new song that I am about to release. I want to invite you to listen to it first!”
Bai Xing joined “Life Experience” mainly to create some buzz for his new song release. Now, it was clear that the cp relationship with Ji Xizhi wasn’t going anywhere, but what about a collaboration? If he could invite Ji Xizhi to shoot an MV for his new song and even sing it together, wouldn’t that be a win-win?
Bai Xing’s new song is a fresh and sweet campus love song, depicting the feelings of a school romance, which tugs at the heartstrings.
This perfectly fits with Ji Xizhi’s return-to-campus setting.
Bai Xing wanted to invite Ji Xizhi yesterday, but he was interrupted by Zhu Xiu’an. Today, seeing Zhu Xiu’an sitting right next to Ji Xizhi, Bai Xing decided not to waste any words and just played the song!
Listen first, talk later!
After all, young people have some expectations of campus romance, and he did not believe Ji Xizhi would be entirely unmoved.
Though Ji Xizhi didn’t really understand music, since Bai Xing nearly shoved the headphones into her hand and invited her to listen, it wouldn’t be polite to refuse, so she put them on.
Seeing Ji Xizhi put on the headphones, Bai Xing thoughtfully adjusted the music to a suitable volume and hit play.
The intro was a melodious piano tune, and after a dozen seconds, Bai Xing’s voice appeared. The song’s melody was melodious, moving from innocence to passion.
“Forsythia quietly peeks like the way I look at your eyes… You worry upstairs, while I stand downstairs waiting for your bouquet throw—how long do I have to wait… Sneaking a peek at your diary, rushing around to surprise you…”
After the three-and-a-half minute song ended, Bai Xing immediately straightened up from the back seat, his eyes bright, leaning over again.
He sat behind Ji Xizhi and although he couldn’t see Ji Xizhi’s expression, his imagination started filling in the blanks.
This song was entirely his own creation, and after finishing it, he had a lot of friends listen to it. They all said it was sweet.
If Ji Xizhi expressed liking it too, he could immediately arrange to reshoot the MV!
Bai Xing maintained his leaning posture and smiled, “Sister Zhi Zhi, how is it? Any suggestions!”
Bai Xing asked for suggestions out of courtesy, just mentioning it in passing, given that Ji Xizhi wasn’t a singer! He didn’t expect Ji Xizhi to give any criticism!
The other guests, sitting not too far away, heard Bai Xing asking Ji Xizhi and curiously turned to watch the drama unfold.
It was natural for everyone to treat Ji Xizhi as the core of the team, and they all wanted to know what kind of music Ji Xizhi usually liked.
Only Zhu Xiu’an, sitting next to Ji Xizhi, had no interest in the gossip. He showed a helpless expression as he kicked the seat of Qin Yutian in front of him, his fist clenched hard.
He had helped Qin Yutian a lot yesterday, but he didn’t expect Qin Yutian to still be so timid and let Bai Xing take the lead.
If he could write songs, he would have done it himself!
Qin Yutian sensed the action from behind and looked helplessly at Zhu Xiu’an through the gap in the seats.
Qin Yutian: No way, he’s not as experienced as Bai Xing, the song isn’t even finished!
Zhu Xiu’an: So slow!
As the two exchanged glances through the gap.
Ji Xizhi finally voiced her opinion.
Ji Xizhi: “This song…”
Bai Xing’s smile widened, “Yes, go ahead.”
Ji Xizhi: “There are some problems with the lyrics.”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the car froze for a moment.
Does Ji Xizhi really understand songwriting?
Even Guan Fengyan, who didn’t quite get pop culture, couldn’t help but turn back, jokingly saying, “Wow! Didn’t expect Zhi Zhi to have an interest in songwriting and lyric writing. It’ll be easy for her to switch careers in the future, hahaha~”
Guan Fengyan was just kidding.
But unknowingly, he hit on the heartstrings of several program staff members.
Director Wang said softly, “If she switches again, there won’t be an industry left for her to turn to!”
All the accompanying PDs echoed with tears in their eyes.
Guan Fengyan: “…”
Sheng Yaoyao couldn’t hold back her laughter, saying, “Zhi Zhi really is too intense! Uncle Yan, we’ve already suffered enough from her, don’t let her invade another industry, give Bai Xing a break!”
Sheng Yaoyao brought the conversation back to the main topic.
Sitting at the back, Bai Xing had just recovered from being dumbfounded.
Initially hearing Ji Xizhi say there was a problem, he almost didn’t respond.
Once he calmed down and thought it over, he realized.
Ji Xizhi was an outsider; the problem she mentioned was probably just a matter of whether the lyrics were smooth or reasonable.
That was a common issue.
Bai Xing’s smile returned as he explained on the spot: “Actually, the lyrics mainly express the emotional transition from secret crush to open affection in a campus setting, all focused on the emotional state.”
Bai Xing’s words had just fallen.
Ji Xizhi shook her head and continued, “But your lyrics are illegal.”
Bai Xing’s smile vanished: “?”
The other guests: “???”
Ji Xizhi recited the lines she had just heard, breaking down the lyrics sentence by sentence: “On the seventh line, tossing a bouquet, throwing objects from a height was defined as illegal behavior a few years ago; on the eleventh line, sneaking a peek at diaries is also not appropriate, as it infringes on privacy rights; and carving our names into school facilities is obviously illegal too; and that last line about keeping you forever in my embrace could even involve restricting someone’s liberty.”
Ji Xizhi pointed out all the legal issues in one breath, not only remembering the lyrics clearly but also stating each line’s position accurately.
After speaking, she turned to Bai Xing.
She said seriously, “While love is sweet, it’s also important to abide by the law!”
Ji Xizhi’s expression was serious, with an implied willingness to provide further clarification if Bai Xing didn’t understand.
After hearing Ji Xizhi’s explanation, Bai Xing was utterly stunned.
His jaw hung open, unable to close as if dislocated.
Ji Xizhi understands songs… Is this what it means?!
Everyone in the car couldn’t help but swallow.
The eternally single-minded Zhu Xiu’an turned to stare at Ji Xizhi with an odd expression.
Zhu Xiu’an sincerely asked, “Ji Xizhi, do you have a sweet romance allergy?”
When Bai Xing handed over the headphones earlier, he was close to Ji Xizhi, so he caught a few weak melodies, and combining them with what Ji Xizhi had just said, it wasn’t hard to imagine Bai Xing wrote a youthful, sweet romance song.
But after Ji Xizhi’s breakdown, who could think about love or sweetness anymore? The male and female leads in the song were looking at least a ten-year prison sentence! Damn!
Following Ji Xizhi’s logic, Zhu Xiu’an even pictured an entirely new campus novel in his head.
Ji Xizhi pinned the school bully to the wall, reciting the “Criminal Code” to him, not allowing him to be the protagonist until he memorized it.
The entire internet of authors fell silent, and readers were left breathless.
