Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 50, a premium release!
"Baby, our relationship is like a lighter; it was stolen by a colleague but ended up back in my hands."

"Bro, even a casual remark is something Xia Shen could never reach in his lifetime."

"No wonder it's the fourth biggest fly! I am a historian, and I hereby declare this history as ancient history!"

"This song is even more outrageous. I even went to look up the whole album, and all I can say is that it's sweeter than all the other songs combined."

"So that's what it's called, the 'Drop Tower Machine.' No wonder I couldn't find it on Douyin no matter how many times I searched for it."

"Six hundred and sixty-six."

"I never would have guessed the lyrics 'Maybe I'm a jerk' in my entire life. This is such blatant flattery. But to be fair, given this guy's experiences, he could actually pull off this song!"

"Drop tower? I'd rather ride a pirate ship."

"It's not just singers; Xia Shen can come up with this kind of Tang poetry, so he's probably not much better. He must have some knowledge of it too."

"Damn it, can you just die, you simp?"

"There's no such thing as a simp. It's just that I love him too much. I just wanted to give him a push from behind when he was weak, so that when she made a sound, I could at least feel a sense of participation. That's all."

"Who on earth listens to this kind of song?!"

"."

The comments section was filled with the usual pleasant remarks, which Xia Shen found completely unaffected, and even felt a little amused.

And what's with the slightly pleasant feeling? Looking at the audience's reactions, I suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction and euphoria, which was completely different from the slightly disheartened and sad feeling I had before.

With the addition of music critics like Qi Yixiang, along with a series of operations, as well as promotion by livestreamers and Kuaishou, the album's overall data, especially the popularity of "Jump Tower," has skyrocketed, especially because the song has been certified by Lao Chen's market insight!

Soon, it unexpectedly surged to a level of popularity that no one had anticipated.

It actually climbed to the top spot across all platforms with an extremely exaggerated momentum.

The entire company was jubilant.

At the celebration banquet, Chen Bili herself also experienced a sense of unreality.

There was a sense of satisfaction in his eyes, like that of a prisoner who had finally escaped his predicament and was now welcoming the day and light from the darkness!
He proved himself convincingly.

At this moment, Chen Bili, who should have been the main character at the victory celebration, was huddled alone in a corner.

He gulped down a glass of wine, his hands trembling, and took out his phone from his pocket, unlocked it, and opened a pinned chat window in the SMS app, then typed away furiously.

As seen on the screen, the chat box was filled with messages he had sent, each followed by a red exclamation mark.

But he kept sending them.

Snapped!
At that moment, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Chen Bili: "!!!!"

This startled Chen Bili, who quickly covered her phone, almost dropping it.

When he turned around, he saw Xia Shen standing behind him, looking at him with a complicated expression.

To be honest, Xia Shen is quite emotional. The song became a hit and even topped the charts on all platforms. If you think about it carefully, it's not hard to see that his writing was only part of the reason.

The biggest reason is that Chen Bili sang it so well that she brought the song to life, conveying the emotions perfectly and capturing the essence of the song.

It's hard to find anyone more suitable than Chen Bili to sing this song.

If it weren't for the right people performing the song, it might have become a hit, but it definitely wouldn't have reached this level of popularity.

For example, Chen Bili is now famous not only for her songs, but also for herself. She has become famous, although not for a good reason.

What is the feeling of this song when sung by Chen Bili?

The lyrics were very abstract, but he sang them with heart-wrenching emotion, as if he were singing with great seriousness.

It's as if he's telling the audience: Don't laugh, I'm really singing this seriously!

This feeling has a kind of magical quality to it.

"Are you alright?" Xia Shen asked. "Still can't let go?"

"It's alright." Chen Bili smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "It's not that I can't let go, it's just that I'm not willing to accept it."

"I understand," Xia Shen nodded.

After all, it's been seven years of emotional investment, and it was all done wholeheartedly. To encounter something like this is unbearable for anyone. Some people with weaker mental health might actually start over.

"Actually, I really like her. I still remember the first time I met her. She will always be so beautiful in my heart."

I have tried to convince myself that since I've fallen in love, I don't want to have any regrets.

Honestly, I can forgive her.

I just don't want other men to see her at her most beautiful. Just thinking about it makes me feel like ants are crawling all over my body.

Then I would also think, in the days without me, would she drink alone in the middle of the night, regretting leaving me? She probably would, right?" However, Chen Bili did not notice that Xia Shen was stunned when she heard his words, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

But then, as if she had thought of something, a thoughtful look flashed across her eyes: "I never want to see you drunk in the middle of the night again, and I never want other men to witness your allure?"

But before Xia Shen could think it through, Chen Bili's words pulled her back to reality: "Yeah, I don't want to. How could I possibly want to?"

"Alright, you've had too much to drink, that's enough," Xia Shen simply said.

However, Chen Bili just looked at Xia Shen with a dazed expression and asked, "Teacher Xia Shen, what do you think is the biggest heartbreak you've ever suffered in your life? The one that left the deepest impression on you?"

"."

This sentence almost silenced Xia Shengan.

Because this really touched on his blind spot in knowledge.

No, upon closer inspection, there really is one.

"I don't know if friendship counts?"

I used to have a really good friend who moved away a long time ago, and I was heartbroken for a long time. But now we've reunited, and I realized he wasn't just a friend, he was my childhood sweetheart! I almost didn't recognize him.

Xia Shen spoke with a somewhat sentimental expression.

"Childhood sweethearts, huh? That's understandable. It's true that childhood sweethearts often drift apart as they grow up."

"Distance? No, we were playing games together at her house yesterday," Xia Shen replied immediately.

Chen Bili: "."

"Is this heartbreak?"

“I can find the most hurtful one,” Xia Shen said.

Then, silence fell over the air.

For some reason, after a moment of silence, Chen Bili burst into even more heartbreaking sobs, a truly agonizing cry.

This has left Xia Shen speechless. Wasn't he supposed to talk about heartbreak? He did talk about it. Eleven years of separation, from his perspective, it was indeed quite painful. After all, he had ulterior motives and wanted more than just friendship. But now he didn't even have the courage to take the first step. Isn't that painful?

Perhaps Chen Bili's tears were not because of him?
Probably not?
Although I vaguely heard something like, "You're a poet."

At the celebration banquet, Chen Bili, the main character, collapsed in tears. The next day, when Xia Shen saw Chen Bili again at the company, the other party's eyes were somewhat evasive, and she was visibly flustered.

"Yo-ho." Xia Shen walked over and greeted him, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Um, Mr. Xia Shen, I'm very sorry about last night. I drank too much and acted a little out of control."

Chen Bili spoke up.

"Last night? What happened last night?"

Xia Shen smiled subtly and asked in return, "I don't remember. Didn't I spend the whole night watching Lao Chen and the telephone pole confess their love?"

Chen Bili paused for a moment, then said, "You don't need to save face for me. I know I can't do this. Actually, I should thank you more."

"How so?" Xia Shen asked.

“I’m serious, and I’ve thought it through. Dwelling on the past isn’t worth it. People have to look forward. At least I’m getting better now, aren’t I? I’ve already made money.”

Chen Bili sighed, "Fortunately, I was able to recognize someone's true colors early on, which helped me cut my losses in time."

"It's good that you think that way. You don't need to thank me. I'll sing you songs like this again in the future," Xia Shen said.

"There's more?" Chen Bili was taken aback.

"Of course." Xia Shen seemed to remember something and gave a sweet smile: "I've found the most suitable path for you."

That's a matter for the future. For now, you need to obediently follow the company's arrangements. We'll talk about it again when you're ready to sing for a high-quality album. That day probably isn't far off, so just wait and see.

"Okay! Thank you so much, boss!!"

The explosive popularity of "Drop Tower" has directly triggered a frenzy.

This popularity lasted for a month, and it never came down from the top spot on the charts.

Just as Chen Bili said, he really struck it rich this time.

Of course, Xia Shen, the producer, is also implicated. As the person who holds the copyright, he has even greater influence.

After a month of scheduling conflicts, the moment that the entire company took even more seriously finally arrived: the release date for Xia Shen's new album had arrived!

However, at the same time, another big event is happening in the rap scene: Wolf Naxi's new album is also being released at the same time!
