"It's okay, I'll wait for you. Besides, I'm lucky to get to hear you, a big star, sing live for free."
Vivian Chow smiled and said, "Your darling would be short of money for a concert ticket?"
“This has nothing to do with money. When you hold a concert, you sing for a large group of people. But here, apart from a few staff members, I am the only audience member. This is very different from a concert. It’s like you are singing for me alone.”
Liu Xiaobao's words had a slightly ambiguous tone, which Zhou Huimin naturally noticed.
Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she replied with a smile, "In that case, Mr. Bao, you shouldn't just buy one concert ticket, but rather a ticket for my entire concert."
"Okay, I'll book the whole place for your concert sometime!" Although it was a joke, Liu Xiaobao was actually thinking about booking the whole place for Zhou Huimin because he wanted to listen to her sing all by himself.
"Then let's forget about it. It would be such a waste for you, Mr. Bao, to sit alone in such a large venue. Waste is shameful!"
Liu Xiaobao smiled and didn't continue the topic. Instead, he changed the subject and asked Zhou Huimin a question out of curiosity.
"Ms. Zhou, I've been wondering, didn't you release this song last year? Why are you re-recording it now?"
Zhou Huimin gave a wry smile.
"There's no way around it. The company has planned several albums for me this year, but there aren't that many new songs. So we can only put two or three new songs on each album and fill the rest with old songs. Actually, it's not just me; almost all singers do this nowadays."
After listening to Zhou Huimin's explanation, Liu Xiaobao finally had his doubts resolved.
At this moment, Liu Xiaobao suddenly became interested and asked Zhou Huimin a question.
"Miss Zhou, since you don't have enough new songs, how about I write one for you?"
Zhou Huimin looked at Liu Xiaobao in surprise and questioned him.
"What? Mr. Bao, you can even write songs?"

"You underestimate me, don't you? How about I write one for you right now?"
Although Liu Xiaobao replied to Zhou Huimin with a smile, making it seem more like a joke, his eyes were full of confidence.
Although Zhou Huimin had some doubts, and even didn't believe that Liu Xiaobao could create a song right now, she still hoped that Liu Xiaobao could actually do it, so she did not reject Liu Xiaobao's suggestion.
"Alright, then let me see if you really have the ability, Mr. Bao."
Liu Xiaobao smiled slightly, then fell silent and began to think, pondering what song to sing for Zhou Huimin.
However, Zhou Huimin thought he was actually creating something.
Therefore, Zhou Huimin did not disturb Liu Xiaobao or urge him; she simply stood there and looked at him with expectant eyes.
Liu Xiaobao knows quite a few pop songs, but not many Cantonese songs. However, because he really likes Huang Jiaju's songs, he does know some well-known classic Cantonese songs.
After thinking for about two minutes, Liu Xiaobao mentally reviewed all the Cantonese songs he knew from 2000 onwards before deciding to sing "A Girl's Prayer" for Vivian Chow.
"Alright, Miss Zhou, I'm going to start singing now, listen carefully!"
Upon hearing that Liu Xiaobao had prepared a song so quickly, Zhou Huimin was shocked. She said incredulously, "You created a song so quickly? Really?"
Liu Xiaobao did not answer Zhou Huimin's question, but smiled slightly and then showed Zhou Huimin the answer through his actions.
They had a passionate affair, like eloping in the train carriages, and wouldn't let go no matter how crowded it was...
I pray that there will be no obstacles on the road, lest a pleasant journey turn into sorrow…
We passed through two green lights in a row, and then drove a few more kilometers with him...
When this lamp turns red, we will part ways; my life or death will be decided by luck…
I pray that heaven and earth will spare this couple, and that what I fear will never happen...
How can I regain my confidence when I've never had a good time?
I pray that my Heavenly Father will be a good person for ten minutes and grant me His kiss, as if in mercy of a sinner…
I love the Lord, and I also love a person in this world. I pray that my faith will not waver along the way, and that you will protect me...
When Liu Xiaobao finished singing, he found Zhou Huimin looking at him in astonishment, with a faint sadness in her eyes. Clearly, she had been affected by Liu Xiaobao's song.
Moreover, the three sound engineers in the recording studio were also watching Liu Xiaobao at that moment.
However, they weren't familiar with Liu Xiaobao, so their gazes towards him weren't filled with shock, but rather curiosity.
They were curious about who Liu Xiaobao was, a creative musician, and why they didn't know him.
To be honest, Liu Xiaobao's voice isn't actually that good, and he hasn't had any formal singing training, but fortunately, his pitch is always on point and he doesn't sing off-key.
So overall, he sang "A Girl's Prayer" quite well.
After Zhou Huimin came to her senses, she was still somewhat incredulous and asked Liu Xiaobao for confirmation, "Mr. Bao, this... this song really was just written by you?"
"Of course, Miss Zhou, have you heard someone else sing this song before?" Liu Xiaobao wasn't at all guilty. Anyway, this song only appeared seven years later, so he wasn't worried that someone else would know how to sing it.
Zhou Huimin thought for a moment, then shook her head seriously: "Never heard of it. It seems it really was created by you, Mr. Bao."
"So, Miss Zhou, what do you think of my song?"
"It's a very nice song, and it's very emotionally moving. By the way, Mr. Bao, what did you name this song?"
Liu Xiaobao feigned hesitation, as if he had thought about it for a moment, before replying to Zhou Huimin, "Let's call it 'A Girl's Prayer'!"
Since the song was already plagiarized, borrowing the title was no big deal, and Liu Xiaobao felt no guilt whatsoever.
After listening to Liu Xiaobao's words, Zhou Huimin softly repeated, "A girl's prayer... A girl's prayer... What a wonderful song title."
Just then, Liu Xiaobao said at the opportune moment, "It's good that I was able to gain Miss Zhou's approval, so now I can present this song to you in a presentable way."
"What? Mr. Bao, you said you're going to dedicate this song to me?" Vivian Chow looked shocked.
"Of course, I'm not a singer, what use would I have for a song? It would be most appropriate to give it to Miss Zhou."
Vivian Chow wanted to refuse, but she didn't want to miss such a good song, so she was conflicted.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao seemed to have guessed Zhou Huimin's thoughts, so he added another sentence.
"If you don't want it, Miss Zhou, then this song of mine will only become a lost gem, no, it should be that it will never be heard by the world."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, Zhou Huimin stopped worrying. She really didn't want such a good song to be buried.
No sooner had Liu Xiaobao finished speaking than Zhou Huimin quickly said, "No way! How can such a beautiful song be buried? I want it, I want it, okay!"
"That's more like it. If you don't accept this song, Miss Zhou, I won't dare to write any more songs in the future. Otherwise, no one will sing them, so why waste my brainpower!"
Vivian Chow hesitated and said, "Um... Mr. Bao, if possible, could you write a few more songs for me in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao chuckled and said, "No problem. If you ever need a new song again, just come to me, and I guarantee I'll keep giving you new songs."
The reason Liu Xiaobao acted this way in front of Zhou Huimin was to use songwriting as an excuse to spend more time with her.
Hearing Zhou Huimin's request, Liu Xiaobao was naturally overjoyed.
Zhou Huimin was also very happy and no longer questioned Liu Xiaobao's abilities.
"That's great, thank you so much, Mr. Bao. I'll definitely need your help in the future. But Mr. Bao, let's keep things separate. Even though we're friends, I can't just take your songs for free. I'll buy them from you at the market price."
Liu Xiaobao didn't know how much a song was worth, but he figured it wouldn't be much, since movie scripts in those days only cost 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
However, Liu Xiaobao was still very willing to meet with Vivian Chow a few more times because of this.
So Liu Xiaobao didn't refuse, but simply replied to Zhou Huimin, "I'll listen to you, you decide!"
Zhou Huimin (Wang Dede) smiled and said, "Well, it's settled then. Now let's go and write down that poem you just wrote, 'A Girl's Prayer'!"
Liu Xiaobao nodded, but when Zhou Huimin handed him paper and pen, he was at a loss.
Although he can sing, he can't read music at all, so he can't write any scores.
So Liu Xiaobao could only awkwardly suggest to Zhou Huimin that he sing the song and Zhou Huimin write the music.
Although Zhou Huimin found it strange that Liu Xiaobao could compose music even though he couldn't read music, she didn't ask too many questions and just thought that Liu Xiaobao had a natural talent for music.
With the help of the two, the complete sheet music for "A Maiden's Prayer" was finally released more than half an hour later.
Vivian Chow couldn't wait to start singing along to the sheet music.
Liu Xiaobao, who was listening nearby, exclaimed in admiration after hearing Zhou Huimin's singing.
"As expected of a singer, she sings much better than me!"

Originally, Liu Xiaobao was going to take Zhou Huimin to a fancy dinner in France.
However, by the time Vivian Chow finished recording the song, it was already 11 p.m.
Normally, it wouldn't take Vivian Chow this long to record a song. It was only because of the song that Liu Xiaobao gave her that she recorded it many times before she was satisfied, which is why it took so long.
At this time, it was naturally inappropriate to go out for a fancy meal, so the two of them could only have a late-night snack.
What made Liu Xiaobao happiest today was that after having a late-night snack, he offered to take Zhou Huimin home again, and Zhou Huimin did not refuse this time.
However, Liu Xiaobao was not invited to Zhou Huimin's home. He simply dropped Zhou Huimin off at the entrance of her residential complex before saying goodbye to Liu Xiaobao.
Liu Xiaobao wasn't upset by this, but after seeing the neighborhood where Zhou Huimin lived, he couldn't help but think about something.
Vivian Chow's home is in Repulse Bay, a residential area consisting entirely of detached houses, which could be considered a villa district.
Liu Xiaobao doesn't want to get involved in real estate; he doesn't have enough money to invest in it right now.
