How did I become famous?

Chapter 4 The Hypocritical Young Lady

When Fang Bie hummed the intro, Su Mulin listened very attentively.

To see the whole from a glimpse of one thing.

Judging from the intro Fang Bie hummed, it is indeed a good song.

At least it's not unpleasant to listen to.

Su Mulin pursed her lips.

To be honest, she was somewhat disappointed.

It's not that the song is bad, but that Fang Bie gave her too many surprises beforehand.

Coupled with Fang Bie's confident demeanor, her expectations were unconsciously raised.

In other words, the original expectation was 60, but Fang Bie gave an answer of 80.

The current expectation level is 95, but Fang Bie only gave 90.

In short, she was somewhat disappointed.

Forget it, I'll just use his lyrics from before to set my own music.

Just then—

The prelude that Fang Bie was humming ended.

"At the head of the Xunyang River, I saw off a guest at night; maple leaves and reeds rustled in the autumn breeze; the host dismounted, the guest remained on the boat..."

Su Mulin was stunned.

This is... an ancient poem?

This ancient poem I've never heard of, was it written by this guy himself?

Fang Bie ignored her and instead closed his eyes and sang softly to himself.

Fang Bie is actually a very good singer.

At least he never sings off-key.

However, perhaps due to smoking or lack of professional training, his breathing was not very steady.

If it's a song with really high notes, he definitely won't be able to sing it.

But his singing is still very good; at least he has made his friends cry in karaoke.

It's not because the music is so awful that I want to cry, but because it evokes emotion.

His songs are full of emotion.

Because he only sings songs that resonate with him in karaoke.

The main purpose is to impress the girls and take the opportunity to gain their favor to see if he can find a girlfriend.

Unfortunately, he never succeeded.

Because the people I went to karaoke with were either my buddies or their girlfriends.

I have never had any single female friends.

Fang Bie hummed the song "Pipa Xing" with great emotion.

In fact, he can now somewhat understand the feelings that the Hermit of Xiangshan had when he wrote this poem.

The Hermit of Xiangshan was demoted to the position of Sima of Jiujiang, and Fang Bie came to this parallel world from his original world.

At night, the Hermit of Xiangshan heard someone playing popular tunes from Chang'an on a boat.

Fang Bie hummed a song he had listened to on repeat in his previous life.

The song features a courtesan from Chang'an who once studied pipa under two masters, Mu and Cao. Later, as she grew older and her beauty faded, she married a merchant. After playing, she seemed somewhat melancholy, recounting the joys of her youth and how she now drifted and suffered, her appearance haggard, wandering the world.

By this time, Xiangshan Jushi had been demoted for two years and was content with his lot. Only now did he feel the sense of being a wanderer in a foreign land after being demoted, which is why he wrote the last line, "The Jiangzhou Sima's blue robe is wet with tears."

Fang Bie traveled through time for two days. During the day, he happily went on blind dates, chatted and joked with his colleagues on the phone, and acted indifferent when talking to Su Mulin.

Only now did he realize that things had changed and people were no longer the same.

It turns out... I really can never go back.

Su Mulin remained silent.

She simply looked quietly at the man in front of her.

She was quite accomplished in literature, and she certainly understood the level of this poem.

"She finally appeared after much coaxing, still holding her pipa and half-concealing her face."

"Gently gather, slowly twist, wipe, and pick, first the Rainbow Skirt, then the Six Melodies."

"A hidden sorrow and resentment arise, and at this moment, silence speaks louder than words."

"We are both wanderers in this world, why should we need to have known each other before?"

Su Mulin believed that this was a poem that could be passed down through the ages.

Indeed, she believes this transcends the realm of lyrics and is a timeless masterpiece.

This poem is even a complete story.

The first half of the song has a light and cheerful melody, the middle part is slightly melancholic, and the second half returns to a light and cheerful tone, but there is a faint sadness in the song.

Su Mulin suddenly felt that using this song as the theme song for that movie was a bit of a waste.

Even though it was a big-budget blockbuster, she still felt that the movie was unworthy of the poem.

Although this song fits the plot of that movie very well.

After humming the song, Fang Bie still didn't open his eyes.

After a moment, he lit a cigarette, looked at Su Mulin who was staring blankly across from him, and asked with a smile, "How is it? Can this song get first place?"

Seeing him smoking, Su Mulin wanted to say something, but in the end she held back.

Talented people can smoke less without any problems... right?

Moreover, he seemed to have no idea where his sorrow came from.

Su Mulin had heard that true geniuses are often lonely and melancholic.

She didn't originally think so, because she herself was a genius.

But now it seems that I am not a genius after all.

Taking the lyrics from Fang Bie, Su Mulin looked down and studied them intently.

The words "It's nothing special" were already on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.

Fang teased her, "By the way, what did you say you'd do if I wrote it down?"

"..."

Su Meizi suddenly found this guy's smiling face extremely repulsive.

What a waste of his talent!

goo—

Fang Bie was suddenly struck by how stunningly beautiful this girl was.

Damn, your stomach started growling right after you finished eating?

How can someone eat so much and still be so thin?

"I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."

Su Meizi kept her head down, busy and blushing, and didn't have time to pay attention to him.

"Then I'll just ask directly," Fang Bie said, taking a deep drag on his cigarette. "How much do you weigh?"

"..."

For a young woman, having a weight in the hundreds is something she can hardly talk about.

So she decided to remain silent.

But it doesn't matter, her silence has already given Fang Bie an answer.

Then his eyes changed.

Think about it, a girl who looks very well-proportioned looks about the same as a girl who weighs 80 or 90 pounds.

So her weight is over 100...

Where did all this extra weight come from?

First of all, height plays a part.

Although Su is young, she is over 1.7 meters tall, which accounts for part of her weight.

Then there are two scenarios.

One is fitness.

Fitness enthusiasts who work out regularly can indeed appear to have a well-proportioned figure even when wearing loose clothing, because they have lost fat and built muscle.

Even girls who don't usually have abs can develop six-pack abs.

However, this is clearly not the case for Su Meizi.

People who exercise regularly tend to have higher requirements for their diet.

Su Mulin didn't have any dietary restrictions.

She even wanted to have a late-night snack right after finishing her meal.

So here's the question: where did all her extra weight go?

Fang Bie unconsciously shifted his gaze, which had been fixed on her flushed cheeks, down a few centimeters.

Ugh, he hates loose-fitting clothes.

Where are you looking?

Fang Bie raised his head and met those piercing eyes.

"It's nothing. By the way, are you hungry? I'll make you some noodles."

"Dirty!"
