Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 234 Welcome to Rebirth, Diva

Unlike her photos, Jing Yun herself possesses a rather aloof and cold temperament, like a broken ceramic doll that has been forcibly glued back together, devoid of any human warmth.

She saw Xia An, and obviously she also saw Liu Fei.

He remained silent, not even offering a nod.

Xia An observed Liu Fei for a moment.

Fatty Liu is about to break down.

Xia An guessed that he was blaming himself, blaming himself for making his beloved become like this.

Liu Fei's lips trembled, clearly wanting to say something, but Xia An knew that what he was about to say would be very inappropriate, so she whispered a reminder: "There are so many people in the world who love but cannot be together, not just you."

Like being doused with a bucket of cold water, Liu Fei was completely stunned by those words.

So many people in the world love but cannot be together; who hasn't gone through this? Just like a growing tree, some branches grow crooked or are eaten by insects. Only by cutting them off can new buds grow and flowers bloom again.

He trapped himself forever in that lush, vibrant campus, unaware that he was also indirectly binding the innocent girl he deeply loved.

Xia An took a step forward with a smile and tugged at Liu Fei's sleeve.

Didn't pull.

Xia An paused, then turned to look.

Liu Fei smiled, her gaze fixed on the woman five meters away, ignoring Xia An.

Jing Yun stood with her arms crossed, the night breeze gently ruffling her hair, her gaze silently fixed on the viewer.

Liu Fei mouthed, "I'm sorry."

Jing Yun remained unmoved; perhaps she saw it, perhaps she didn't.

Liu Fei laughed heartily and said to Xia An and Qin Yu, "Oh dear, I forgot! No, no, I have to make a phone call to a leader tonight. You guys go in first, I'll be there shortly, but don't wait for me to start dinner."

Having said that, without waiting for anyone to say a word, he bent down, climbed into Qin Yu's car, and locked it.

Xia An asked Qin Yu for the car keys, tossed them to him through the window, and said, "Go to Xingcheng or go back to Binhai and wait for me."

Liu Fei forced out an ugly smile: "Thanks, bro."

Liu Fei did not appear until the dinner ended.

The subordinate who returned the car keys to Qin Yu said that Liu Fei had already left and gone to the airport.

Xia An knew, and perhaps the other parties involved also knew, that for the rest of his life, Liu Fei would never appear in front of Jing Yun again. He could only reminisce about his youthful days, long since buried, through the television screen.

……

It seems that having stayed abroad for a long time, and having often drunk alone in solitude, Jing Yun had a good tolerance for alcohol, not missing a single drink, and remained composed when the party ended.

With a slightly flushed face, Jing Yun toasted Xia An three times. The first two toasts were for "thank you for your guidance," and the third toast was for "thank you for singing that song for me."

Xia An smiled and raised her glass, not mentioning her own abilities or that it was only natural, but simply replying, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

……

That evening, Xiaoyouzi sneaked into Xia An's hotel.

After their tender moment, Xia An sighed and recounted Liu Piaopiao's disappointment that day.

Women are very emotional after orgasm.

Little Yuzu nestled against Xia An's chest and said softly, "It seems that life is made up of missed opportunities one after another. Fortunately, we didn't miss any."

Xia An wondered who came up with the sayings "A good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed" and "A broken mirror is hard to mend," and they were absolutely right.

What's missed is missed; there's no starting over.
In comparison, I feel incredibly lucky.

"Do you think we might just be characters living in some trashy novel?"

"Main character or supporting character?"

"He has to be the main character."

"I like supporting characters because they don't have as many twists and turns and hardships."

……

He agreed with Xia An's suggestion, and his collaboration with Jing Yun was very pleasant.

It could even be said that Jing Yun's true strength amazed him.

From her makeup and styling to her voice, everything was stunning.

The next morning, Xia An went to the Hengdian branch of Xiaowan Entertainment, where a top-notch recording studio and film studio had been newly installed.

When he arrived, Jing Yun had just finished putting on her makeup.

Today we'll be recording audio and filming a music video simultaneously.

Aside from Flash animations, the most basic music videos were simply recorded in a studio. It wasn't that Xia An was stingy; it was just that she was racing against time.

With just over a month to go before the recording of "Supernova," Jing Yun, as one of the mentors, needs a comprehensive and urgent makeover.

To put it bluntly, within a month, Jing Yun needs to become so popular that she can secure a mentor position.

Jing Yun has a bit of Avril Lavigne's vibe, even her hairstyle is similar, so the makeup artist gave her a light smoky eye look.

Her lips weren't sexy enough, they were too thin, and she didn't have time for minor cosmetic procedures, so she opted for cherry lips.

According to Guo Xiaochuan's report, Jing Yun's vocal range is sufficient to handle all popular songs.

Let's make it more challenging. Xia An wrote "Bubble" for her. First, Xiao Youzi couldn't sing the song, and second, he remembered that it was the champion single of 2013, enough to make Jing Yun an overnight sensation.

Jing Yun, who received the sheet music in advance, really liked this song.

She loved both the melody and the lyrics; they were so delicate and fragile, yet could be reassembled from the ashes, as if they were tailor-made for her.

After rehearsing the song the day before yesterday, she made a point of thanking Guo Xiaochuan.

When Jing Yun was told that the song was written by the big boss, she was completely dumbfounded…

That cocky, wealthy young man actually possesses such talent?!

You can't judge a book by its cover.

Xia An greeted Jing Yun. In Xia An's eyes today, Jing Yun looked like a demon woman who had slipped out of hell for a day trip, with a cold and aloof air about her.

Jing Yun seemed to want to say something to him, but having been taciturn for many years, she had almost forgotten how to socialize. She nodded and went into the recording studio.

...

What is the point of pursuing right and wrong?

Your lies are based on the fact that you still love me.
Beautiful bubbles, though fleeting sparks.

...

In the first half, she sang with a plaintive and sorrowful tone.

到：
I should have known that the bubble would burst at the slightest touch, just like a wounded heart, unbearable torment, and it wasn't anyone's fault...

The melody gradually began to rise.

It's like expressing one's own feelings, blaming no one, and resenting no one.

Until the climax of the chorus.

...

It's all a bubble!
A firework that lasts only a moment!

All your promises were too fragile!

...

Outside the soundproof glass, listening to Jing Yun's voice that required no on-site audio editing, Xia An could clearly feel the endless, suppressed emotions within Jing Yun suddenly being released.

Shocking.

……

Jing Yun recorded seven takes. In fact, the sound was already recorded on the second take. The rest were just to find the right shots for the music video.

When she sang it for the second time, Jing Yun cried. She didn't look at the people outside the glass; it was as if they didn't exist, and she was the only one in the whole world.

She was suppressing it; she wanted to shout it out.

The shouts were piercing to the heart.

She felt wronged and wanted to cry.

Then she burst into tears.

But there were no cries, no sobs, only waves of emotion rising higher and higher, perfectly in tune. This performance was flawless.

On the third time, she stopped crying.

Xia An saw a spark ignite in her eyes, swaying in the wind, but not extinguished.

After Jing Yun came out, she stood in front of Xia An and looked straight at him.

Xia An looked deeply into her eyes, extended his hand, and smiled:

"Welcome back, Queen of Song."

Jing Yun smiled, brushed a strand of hair aside, and took his hand.

Her hands were cold, and Xia An noticed that the flames in her eyes had become even hotter.
