Chapter 75

"Is this the song you want to sing for the school anniversary?!" Li Shungui, who was still listening to "Love Song" for no reason, had a face that was already at its limit when he found out that Wen Zhengyou had actually chosen such a song.

Wen Zhengyou was stunned, nodding blankly. He knew she would react, but he didn't expect it to be so big: "It's this one... You don't have to be so serious, right?"

Li Shungui looked at Wen Zhengyou with a serious expression: "Are you serious?"

Wen Zhengyou touched his nose, not denying it.

Li Shungui was silent for a moment, then took out his phone and searched for something: "I'll call Dad and ask him what techniques you should use to sing this song."

Wen Zhengyou quickly stopped her, pulling her over to calm her down: "Calm down, calm down."

Seeing that Li Shungui was still staring at him with a blank expression, Wen Zhengyou shook his head helplessly: "I said it's fine, why are you so anxious?"

Li Shungui frowned and scolded: "Then why don't you say it quickly!"

Wen Zhengyou paused, then looked up at Li Shungui: "Actually, you told me to say it directly, so I went and said it directly. This song was chosen earlier, and I asked her to consider it. Later, you told me that the voice change period would make it hard to interpret the song, and it seemed she wasn't very interested in collaborating with me. So I thought about changing the song, but for some reason, she suddenly agreed."

Li Shungui narrowed her eyes: "Then why didn't you refuse?!"

Wen Zhengyou laughed: "Listen to me. I wanted to explain to her, to collaborate with her once, to let her understand my dilemma in changing the song."

Li Shungui sneered: "You could have just said it, why collaborate once?"

Pointing at Wen Zhengyou, Li Shungui said: "Don't think I don't know you. She must have interpreted the song very well, making you want to compete. That's why you didn't explain the reason and insisted on singing it!"

Wen Zhengyou had a strange expression: "How do you know me so well? It's like..."

Li Shungui angrily hit him, and Wen Zhengyou shook his head: "Actually, it's not my fault. Think about it, at first she wanted to use 'No.1,' and I disagreed, suggesting 'Love Song.' Later, when she agreed to use 'Love Song,' if I suddenly said I wouldn't sing it and chose another one, she would think I was being insincere and playing with her. This way, not only would we not be able to collaborate, but she might not even participate in the school anniversary event."

Li Shungui pouted: "If she doesn't participate, so what? What's the big deal?"

Wen Zhengyou nodded: "It's not a big deal. If it weren't for the school anniversary, I wouldn't care. But this event is organized by me, and she is the only one in the school, besides me, who has received professional training in this area. If I don't keep her, the school anniversary will be all about me. Would the whole program just be a mess?"

Li Shungui frowned at him: "So what? You agreed just like that? This time, it's your turn to compete with her?!"

Wen Zhengyou touched his nose, slowly putting away his smile, and looked straight at Li Shungui: "You're right, I want to compete with her. I chose the song, and I have confidence. But I didn't expect her to sing so well. Now I also feel what you told me yesterday. She kept refusing to collaborate with me because she wanted to compete with me. I only felt this emotion after listening to her sing today. It's very strange."

Li Shungui clapped and laughed: "Then it's perfect, isn't it? Isn't this what you both want?"

Wen Zhengyou shook his head: "How can that be? If we could separate, why would I draw lots? If I don't collaborate with her, I'll have to be with those troublemakers. And..."

Li Shungui was stunned, turning to ask: "And what?"

Wen Zhengyou thought for a moment, then smiled and looked up: "And collaboration doesn't mean we can't compete. I guess she also realized this through the song, which is why she agreed not to perform separately."

Li Shungui frowned at Wen Zhengyou, shaking her head after a moment: "Are you serious? She's not a trainee, just someone who came to Seoul to learn singing with a teacher. Just because of that, you're so competitive? Is she really that good?"

Wen Zhengyou was stunned, slightly lost in thought, and then praised and shook his head: "You haven't heard it. When she sang the song, I was very close to her. But it felt... I can't describe it. In short, she sings better than you."

Li Shungui had been worried about Wen Zhengyou's vocal cords all along, but his casual words made her lose her balance.

Grabbing Wen Zhengyou's collar, she instantly turned into a little lion, eyes slightly narrowed, and a dangerous light scanning Wen Zhengyou: "Hey. Dare you say it again, that she sings better than me?"

Wen Zhengyou subconsciously said: "Better than you... Let me go first."

Li Shungui stared at Wen Zhengyou, took a deep breath after a moment, and let go of his collar: "If you want me to cover for you, you don't need to use such tactics. A girl who isn't a trainee singing as well as someone who has trained for five years, that's hard to believe."

Wen Zhengyou was stunned for a moment, then looked at her with a mix of laughter and tears: "Is it my words you don't believe, or are you unwilling to face reality? Have you ever seen me come here for so long and challenge you to a singing competition?"

Li Shungui pouted: "That's because you knew you couldn't beat me." Wen Zhengyou smiled: "Shungui, don't blame oppa for being too honest. Sometimes, telling truth from lies isn't about words, but feelings. At least in singing, you can tell from my attitude towards you and her who I value more."

Li Shungui looked at him disdainfully: "You've only been training for a few days, how can you tell...?"

Wen Zhengyou pointed at her: "Miss Li! Dare you pronounce the last word completely?!"

Li Shungui pursed her lips, trying to hold back a laugh, and gestured: "Less talk! If she's really as good as you say, I want to see for myself."

Wen Zhengyou waved his hand: "No need for you to step in, I'll handle her..."

After a pause, Wen Zhengyou looked up and smiled: "As long as you support me and don't undermine me, that's all I need."

Li Shungui was hesitant, then looked up at him after a moment: "I think we should give it up. Dad cares the most about your vocal cords. He's been watching from the beginning. If he finds out you're being so reckless, he might prefer you not to participate in the school anniversary."

Wen Zhengyou frowned: "You've trained for five years and are preparing to debut in half a year. Why did I ask you to come here? Isn't it because I want you to watch over me and help me find a way to perform the song without damaging my vocal cords?"

Seeing Li Shungui rubbing her head, Wen Zhengyou laughed: "What's wrong? Just now, you were so confident, refusing to believe that a girl who isn't even a trainee could be better than you. Now, when I need your experience, you're acting like a beginner?"

Li Shungui sat down helplessly: "How can I help you?"

Wen Zhengyou straddled a chair: "Just make sure my vocal cords don't get seriously damaged. I have my own ways. I chose the song, and with my basic skills and on-the-spot performance, I can definitely beat her."

Li Shungui thought for a long time, then suddenly laughed.

Wen Zhengyou was stunned by her laughter, frowning slightly: "What? Do you think something is wrong?"

Li Shungui waved her hand, looked up at him, and tried to hold back her laughter: "It's just that two trainees, and I've trained for five years, are now plotting late at night to beat someone who isn't even a trainee... Is she in the same grade as you? Then she's probably the same age as me. Don't you think it's a bit embarrassing?"

Wen Zhengyou laughed and shook his head: "Not at all. I never judge someone's ability by how long they've trained. She has the ability to make me want to compete with her, and even though she's not a trainee, I admire her singing skills... You haven't heard her sing, really. Maybe I haven't heard many people sing, but just in terms of singing, her感染力 and impact, and the emotion she puts into the song, are simply unbelievable..."

Li Shungui watched Wen Zhengyou, who was slightly excited, telling her about the girl's singing skills, in a daze.

Wen Zhengyou didn't realize it, but Li Shungui easily sensed that he was really serious. From the time they met, she had never seen Wen Zhengyou show even a hint of exaggerated emotion about anything.

Especially after he matured, he almost always had a smile on his face. But because of this smile, Li Shungui could easily understand that as long as the smile was there, his mind was very calm.

No matter what he faced. But now, Wen Zhengyou's emotions were a bit different, and his expressions seemed more varied than usual.

Li Shungui didn't know if it was the girl's singing skills that attracted him... or the girl herself.
