Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

"Practicing singing?"

Teacher Shi is a very good at hiding her workaholic tendencies. Of course, her work refers to anything related to singing, which she is very interested in and will always muster up the courage to subtly inquire about it.

She couldn't understand why singing was necessary at a wedding.

Then she thought that Chi Ye was a singer, and a very good one at that, so it seemed understandable that he would sing for Jin Xia at her wedding.

Ok……

She was unusually reluctant to go, but since she had already asked and Coco had said so, it seemed inappropriate not to go.

"May I?"

For reasons unknown, Stevie asked cautiously.

"of course can."

Coco smiled and said, "It's in the karaoke room at the hotel. You can go and take a look."

"……it is good."

Teacher Shi agreed.

……

at the same time.

Inside the karaoke room.

Ikeno held the sheet music, playing and singing at the same time, but then felt unsatisfied and changed to a few more instruments.

Surrounding him were his music team from China, hired for the concert, all top-notch instructors in the industry, now joining their boss in his revelry.

“Mr. Chi, I really didn’t expect this. I even made a bet with A-Du before, saying that you would write a song that fits the atmosphere better, instead of something so…so ‘alternative’.”

The band leader also uses words with high emotional intelligence, saying things that are perfectly reasonable and easy to understand.

Ikeno understood what he meant, but didn't explain anything.

The reason I chose this song is because its lyrics perfectly reflect my current situation, as well as everything I and my partner have experienced and felt this summer.

Besides this song, he actually wrote a few others, but he doesn't plan to sing too many at the wedding. At most, he'll write a special "love song" for the old lady and him as a surprise.

As for the other song, he might choose one that fits the wedding atmosphere better. Hmm... just two songs, he felt he had considered everything very thoroughly.

The perfect wedding is not easy to achieve.

The perfect wedding venue, hall, environment, guests, down to the food, the mood and state of mind on the day, and most importantly, the surprise.

Yes, that's right. The old lady had no idea that Ikeno would sing a song just for them at the wedding... a song for her.

Just like when Ikeno first sang in front of Jin Xia in the KTV, "When You" is still the ringtone of the old lady's mobile phone, even though Ikeno has released many songs and many representative works since then.

But the old lady just loves "When You". Her admiration for "When You" may have far exceeded the song itself. Whenever she hears this song, she will think of the figure of her and Ikeno walking in the snowy night.

That feeling was wonderful; it was one of the happiest times of her life.

"This song is nothing special, but the other one is the real problem. Mr. Chi, I have to say, with your talent, it would be a huge loss to the Chinese music scene if you didn't release any more songs."

Another team member said without any hesitation, "They're too strong."

"Yes, yes, I feel that once this second song comes out, many people will play it at their weddings."

"If I were President Jin, I would probably cry with emotion when I heard this song. It's so romantic."

Regardless of whether it was true or not, the team members used their tongues to flatter the boss quite effectively, and Chi Ye was clearly enjoying it, so after they had talked for a long time, he waved his hand and said, "Although the praise was very good, there is no bonus."

"...Look at you, Mr. Chi, what kind of people do you think we are?"

"Exactly, exactly. We're all musicians, this is an appreciation for your professionalism and a pity!"

"Oh dear, Mr. Chi, that's a huge underestimation of us."

"Really? I was just joking, thinking I'd give you guys extra money later." Seeing this, Chi Ye felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I insulted everyone."

Everyone frowned: "That's not it. Actually, money isn't important. The main thing is that we can't let you down, Mr. Chi."

"It's alright, what does it matter if I'm insulted? Please insult me ​​all you want!"

"Hahaha."

"..."

The atmosphere in the karaoke room was quite lively. Firstly, these musicians weren't dull people, and secondly, Chi Ye's status was different now. Putting aside his status in film and television, in the Chinese music scene alone, Chi Ye had long since become number one. The title of "King of Pop" had become overused. In the eyes of many industry insiders, his five Golden Melody Awards were practically equivalent to Ultraman.

In this atmosphere, the singing practice went smoothly until evening, when Teacher Shi slowly came over to check on things. Then... she didn't even go inside, she just listened outside for a while... and didn't hear anything.

The soundproofing was indeed good, so she slunk back home.

Her agent once asked her curiously, "You said you're already there, why not go in and listen?"

Teacher Shi replied, "That was written for Jin Xia. Jin Xia should be the first person to hear the song."

The agent remained silent for a long time before saying, "Have you considered that those bands have already been heard?"

To this, Stevie's answer was: "It's different."

"..."

The agent was helpless, but at this point she no longer had any illusions. She just felt that Shi Daifu was actually a very good girl, but hadn't Ikeno given Shi Daifu enough?

From her perspective, Ikeno had given Shishi everything he could, except for the "feelings" he couldn't give her.

Throughout the entire Coconut industry, and even the music and entertainment circles, everyone knows that Ikeno's favorite singer is Shi Daifu, and he has never stopped writing songs for her.

Leaving aside her earlier works, let's look at Stevie's current acclaimed works such as "Bubble," "Because of Love," "I Like You," "Red Bean," "Legend," and so on...

There are so many things. As a singer, Shi Daifu has almost everything she could get: representative works, awards, money, status, and fame. Even in recent years, when Ikeno has become less active and has even stopped appearing in the music scene like a hands-off manager, transitioning to behind-the-scenes work, he still writes a song for her every now and then.

This level of support cannot be simply explained by liking the singer; the agent and the outside world prefer to call it "compensation"... But whether it is or not, only the person involved probably knows for sure.

Over the years, Stevie has achieved everything she never dared to dream of before. At the same time, in her agent's eyes, she is also the most pitiful girl.

Yes, it's pitiful, because she could sense that Shi Shi might never have her own love in her entire life... no, not maybe, definitely.

Others might not believe it, but she knew what kind of girl this was. Once she made up her mind, she was set on it. Whether she was stubborn or a blockhead, she would be the same person for life. This was a clear signal she had sensed from following Stevie Starr around for the past few years.

Actually... if another girl went through all this and saw Ikeno, would she still be attracted to anyone else in her lifetime?

Anyway, that's how the agent understood it. She thought that Ikeno had been too good to Shi Daifu over the years, so good that there was absolutely no room for maneuver. What good girl could withstand such a thing?
What she didn't know was that Shi Daifu never cared how many songs Ikeno wrote for her, or how high her current status was. She—wasn't considered "stubborn" by outsiders because of these things.

Many people are blinded by the various halos surrounding Ikeno, and many believe that Shi Daifu has gradually become more and more deeply involved because of these "gifts".

But few people remember that once upon a time, Stevie was the only person besides this summer who fell in love with Ikeno when he was nobody.

Yes, she likes him.

It has never changed.

But it seems... it can only be liking.

……

June 1st, the wedding day.

The place was packed with guests, and the atmosphere was lively and festive.

Many people came to Bali. As I said before, although we tried to narrow down the scope as much as possible, the Jin family is a large family. Just from Jin Xia's side of relatives and friends, there were no less than two hundred people.

These people include not only their immediate family members, but also many distant cousins, and even relatives beyond the fifth degree of kinship.

This is easy to understand. Even a wealthy person in the mountains has distant relatives. And now, a family is more than just a wealthy one.
Mr. Jin had seven siblings, all of whom have passed away, but they all left behind their own children. This is considering that Mr. Jin and Ms. Zeng are already counting younger children. If they had really opened up the invitations, Mr. Jin would probably have entered the "Jin family home" at a glance today.

In contrast, Ikeno's "friends and family" group can only be described as pitifully small.

Aside from Yangzi, Teacher Huang, and a few others who made it to the scene as hoped, there were also a few former teammates like Chicken Claw Zhang. As for any close relatives, no one has seen them yet.

"Won't nobody come?"

This reflects the surprise and confusion of some of the guests in private.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Chicken Claw Zhang dutifully played the role of a lackey, and was displeased to hear such words: "You're talking as if our CEO Chi has no family."

"That's right, Chino is my younger brother. I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense."

Yang Zi was extremely proud of himself at this moment, mainly because he really didn't expect Chi Ye to be so accommodating this time. Not only did he invite him, but he also successfully brought his ex-wife, allowing him to show off in the industry.

He said earnestly, "Family is a very good thing. Just like what Chi Ye once told me, if you lack family, then start a live stream."

"If that's not enough, then let's have another one!"

"There will always be enough."

The crowd fell silent for a moment, thinking to themselves that this old bastard was really something else, but given his age, no one wanted to stoop to his level.

"I did not mean that."

The person who spoke first said, "I heard that someone would be coming, and people in the industry were saying that President Chi doesn't get along with his family... uh... anyway, they said that no one would come to his wedding, but I didn't expect it to be true."

He actually put it rather tactfully. In fact, the rumor in the industry is that Mr. Chi is an "orphan." Cough cough, it would be a bit much to say that today, so it's better not to say it.

"Who told you this? Isn't Wen Lijuan Chi Ye's aunt or something... um... and also, I saw her last night..." Yangzi opened her mouth to continue showing off her "connections".

Da da da.

Just then, the sound of high heels hitting the ground rang out, followed by a commotion at the entrance. Everyone turned around.

Then a familiar, tall figure, wearing delicate high heels and with a smile on her face, walked towards the place where the Jin family was gathered.

"...Sheng Ning?"

"Oh ho ho."

"I knew it, Sister Ning is still willing to give me face."

"I was just about to say that I saw Sheng Ning here last night." Yang Zi had barely finished speaking when he launched into a barrage of comments: "So, everyone, don't talk nonsense, or President Chi might hear you..."

Everyone nodded, feeling incredibly annoyed with Yangzi. They thought to themselves, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you and Chi Ye have a really good relationship. He's getting married, and you're just putting on airs."

Ha ha.

the other side.

Sheng Ning approached the Jin family and extended her hand with a smile: "President Zeng, President Jin, it's been a long time."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

This year, she shook hands with Sheng Ning with a smile, while curiously sizing up this "bad woman" who only existed in Jin Xia's words.

She used to be an entertainer, but she wasn't very successful, and now probably no one remembers that past.

Sheng Ning is very successful as an artist. She was one of the earliest traffic queens, and what people talk about most is that Sheng Ning truly started from nothing and built her career from scratch.

Therefore, neither of the two remaining members of the Chi family is simple.

"Hello, Xiao Sheng."

Ms. Zeng was also very enthusiastic, smiling and saying, "This is our first time meeting, but I've seen your performances, they're great."

"Thank you."

Sheng Ning is attending the wedding today as Chi Ye's older sister and the only true family member from Chi Ye's side. So, although Ms. Zeng is much higher in seniority, she treats her as an "equal."

There was no other way; there was really no one else to offer. Without her, Chi Ye would truly be an "orphan," which wouldn't be easy for him either.

"I had heard Xiaxia mention it before. To be honest, I never realized that Chi Ye was such a remarkable child."

Ms. Zeng now regards Chi Ye as her own son. After all, she and Lao Jin only have this one precious daughter. Chi Ye and Jin Xia have been together for so long and have gone through all kinds of trials and tribulations, even major political events. So, she is very moved when she talks about Chi Ye.

“When this child used to come to our house, he was always cheerful. You couldn’t tell from his private work or his appearance on screen. It’s not easy for single-parent families. It’s fortunate that you’re here. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have let so many people come this time.”

As Ms. Zeng spoke, her eyes reddened.

Sheng Ning felt a little embarrassed, but she was also touched. Perhaps it wasn't because of Chi Ye's "experience," but more because she was reminded of the hardships she had endured along the way.

"Actually... I didn't help him much, but he's really had a tough time. We're family now, and seeing him like this makes me... quite happy." (End of Chapter)
