The song [A Letter from the Moon to You] was exploding on music charts.

Xu Li's commercial value was skyrocketing.

No new singer had as much luck as Xu Li, but he himself wasn't feeling accomplished.

The previously popular [Sister] was a birthday gift he gave to Wen Li. Now, the popularity of this new song was a gift from his brother-in-law to Wen Li. Although he owned the copyright of the song and was the original singer, he always felt that he became famous not because of his own talent but because he rode on the fame of his sister, Wen Li.

He originally intended to give the copyright of this song directly to his sister and brother-in-law, but they both declined.

It's understandable, as they had higher status and earned more money than him. They didn't care about the small amount of copyright fees.

When a song becomes popular, there are often various cover versions. Recently, even a senior in the music industry performed a cover of this song on a music variety show.

Xu Li's singing skills were not as good as the senior's, but it was a rule not to criticize the original singer even if the cover version sounded better. Therefore, Xu Li's position as the original singer remained stable, except in the eyes of one person.

Pig:「I think he sings better than you.」

Then his sister sent a video of the senior singing.

Xu Li:「Oh.」

His indifferent response didn't silence his sister. Wen Li continued to talk about various people who covered the song.

Xu Li:「What exactly are you trying to say?」

Then Wen Li called him.

"I've seen many covers online recently and I suddenly became curious why Teacher Song himself doesn't sing this song?"

Xu Li remained silent for a few seconds and said lightly, "After the lyrics were done, Brother Ah Yan came to our company and tried recording."

"Recorded?" Wen Li's tone immediately became excited, "How did he sound? Why didn't you send it to me to listen?"

"I deleted it already," Xu Li said, "Brother Ah Yan asked me to delete it as soon as he came out of the recording studio."

Wen Li also remained silent for a few seconds and tentatively asked, "So, how did he sound?"

Xu Li has always been straightforward and ruthless when confronting people, but when it comes to Brother Ah Yan, due to his childhood admiration and respect, he carefully considered his words and said, "He lacked technique, but it was all about emotions."

"..."

Because of Xu Li's comment, Wen Li unexpectedly became interested in Song Yan's singing. She searched online for the keywords "Song Yan singing" and discovered that she wasn't the only one curious about it.

It wasn't only Wen Li who was interested in Song Yan's singing, but also many netizens.

The lyricist of [A Letter from the Moon to You] clearly marked Song Yan's name. He wrote the lyrics, Xu Li composed the music, and it was a song Song Yan gave to Wen Li. It was normal for Xu Li to be the original singer since he was a professional singer, so it was best for him to sing the audio.

This song became popular and internet was filled with cover versions. There were dozens of songs in the playlist titled [Various Cover Versions of 'A Letter from the Moon to You'] on music apps.

It's unknown if it was intentional or nobody suggested it, but despite being in the industry for eleven years, Song Yan has never sung publicly. It's truly a pity because he has such a unique and beautiful voice.

There are many fan comments below the playlist.

「I think we are only missing Song Yan's cover version of this song. What do you guys think, fans?」

「Although Little Li's original version is already amazing, I still want to hear a version by Beauty.」

「+1 to the person above, I can imagine the deep and gentle voice singing to Wen Li... I'm weak in the knees.」

「Could it be that Song Yan only sings this song privately for Wen Li? Because it's a love song he wrote for her, so he only sings it for her.」

「Damn, the sister upstairs is good at speculating.」

「Thanks, I'm already starting to giggle like an auntie.」

Wen Li: "..."

They were thinking too much.

But she couldn't deny that these comments did make her feel a little itchy.

She didn't want to directly tell Song Yan that she wanted him to sing a love song for her; it just doesn't fit her noble and glamorous personality.

So she could only subtly test the waters, like finding a rare day when nobody has any engagements and lounging on the couch watching TV.

She intentionally chose a music program to watch, where each singer would perform and receive critiques. Then she would say, "He sang well, but the vocal tone isn't to my liking."

Song Yan wasn't interested in the program and didn't understand the professional aspects of singing. He would just nod and agree with whatever comments Wen Li made.

Seeing his lack of reaction, Wen Li said, "I think your vocal tone is good."

Song Yan looked at her, puzzled, "?"

"How about you sing a line for me to listen to?" Wen Li suggested, "I'll give you some feedback."

Song Yan raised an eyebrow and instantly understood what Wen Li was trying to do. He smiled and politely declined, "I won't show off my skills in front of an expert."

"But I'm not a professional either, I just received training for a year," Wen Li immediately replied humbly.

"No, thank you."

He was firm in his attitude. Wen Li instantly thought about the comments from fans.

All that talk about singing for only one person is nonsense.

Wen Li felt annoyed and even started blaming the fans in her heart. It was all because they had raised her expectations to an infinite level that she was left feeling disappointed.

"Forget it," She became a bit arrogant when she was angry, "You said you dedicated a song for me, but now the whole internet is covering the song you dedicated to me. I've listened to dozens of versions, but I haven't heard you sing."

"Didn't your younger brother sing it?"

"Can his singing compare to yours?"

Song Yan laughed helplessly, "But he's a professional singer."

"What does being a professional have to do with it? Your singing has a different meaning compared to what a professional singer would bring."

Song Yan lowered his gaze and observed Wen Li, "How is it different?"

"Forget it, forget it," He didn't the point if she hinted at it, what more could Wen Li do? She pretended not to care and said, "If you don't want to sing, then forget it."

Then she directly turned off the TV and planned to sulk in her room.

Song Yan grabbed her and explained softly, "The reason I asked your brother to sing is that my singing doesn't sound as good as his."

Wen Li said, "In my eyes, you're the best and most beautiful. Are you afraid I'll dislike you?"

Song Yan replied, "You will."

He understood her character too well.

Wen Li widened her eyes, "You really don't trust me? Don't you love me very much?"

Song Yan didn't know why they ended up discussing the question of love or not. He was pushed to a point of helplessness and almost blurted out, "I've pursued you for ten years, and now I belong to you, body and heart. Don't I love you?"

Wen Li was stunned for a moment. It was originally a whim, a petulant remark made out of anger, and she didn't expect him to respond seriously.

She wasn't really angry, just showing off her attitude a little bit, knowing well when to stop. She immediately hummed lightly, pretending to be reluctant and said, "How much do you love me then?"

She completely forgot how noble and glamorous she had been just a moment ago.

Cats are like this. They may ignore you on the surface, but if you reach out to stroke their fur, they'll still make a contented purring sound.

She wasn't intentionally acting clueless, it was just that when she was with Song Yan, the atmosphere became relaxed, and she instinctively flirted with him.

Arguments could never truly start between them. One indulged, and the other knew how to end it well.

Song Yan laughed helplessly, feeling a mix of amusement and resignation. He rubbed her nose, which had been slightly raised, and lowered his head to kiss her.

"You want to seal my lips by kissing me, huh?" she blinked mischievously and playfully taunted, "That's cheating."

Wen Li had no idea how adorable she looked when she played tricks on him at that moment.

To prove that he wasn't cheating, Song Yan pinned her down on the couch.

"That's how much I love you," he gasped, kissing her while whispering, "Do you understand?"
