Huayu96: My Thirty Years of a Prodigal Son

I spent another two days lounging at home.

In the past two days, while writing songs, Qin Sheng also thoroughly figured out Zeng Li's bottom line.

Except for the last line of defense, which was to be breached during the signing celebration, Qin Sheng basically took all the advantages.

Zeng Li is currently in a state where she is completely like a silly girl who is deeply in love.

She would never go up where Qin Sheng pointed.

To be honest, Qin Sheng has been having a hard time holding back these past two days.

Being able to see but not eat is a very difficult thing for a vigorous 18-year-old boy to bear.

Fortunately, all three songs have been polished and completed.

Next, we can go to Baihua Hutong to hand in our homework to Liu Huan and Mao Amin.

If the inspection is successful, Qin Sheng will use the occasion of celebration to take the final step with Zeng Li.

In the afternoon, after Qin Sheng called Liu Huan, the three of them went out again and headed straight for Baihua Hutong.

Pushing open the recording studio door, the three familiar faces remained seated calmly.

Liu Huan was drinking tea, and Mao Amin was flipping through the newspaper.

As for Na Ying, she didn't even eat sunflower seeds today, and kept pacing back and forth at the door.

Upon seeing Qin Sheng and the other two appear, Na Ying's eyes lit up instantly.

He took two steps forward and grabbed Qin Sheng's arm.

"Well, buddy, I've been waiting for you! Where's the song?"

These past few days, Na Ying has been thinking about the new song Qin Sheng was going to write for her.

Qin Sheng smiled, took out a piece of paper, and handed it over.

"Sister, see if you're satisfied."

Na Ying snatched the manuscript paper and glanced down at it.

The two large characters at the top read: "Conquest".

Read on for the lyrics and music.

The more I looked at Ying, the wider her mouth opened, and the brighter her eyes became.

Finally, all expressions turned into a burst of ecstatic joy.

"Great! Ah Sheng! As expected of a song produced by you! Truly a masterpiece!"

I've accepted you as my younger brother! From now on, just ask if you need anything!

Liu Huan and Mao Amin were both somewhat surprised by Na Ying's reaction.

Na Ying, who is known for her "dog brain" but is extremely meticulous and demanding when it comes to music, is rarely praised for her songs. It's rare to even hear her say "not bad."

I never expected to use the word "high-quality" today!

It seems they are very satisfied!

Liu Huan and Mao Amin were about to snatch the sheet music to look at.

Na Ying raised her hand triumphantly.

"Let's see how hard it is! Wait here! I'm going to practice right now! You guys can just listen to the finished product!"

After saying that, Na Ying left the recording studio.

She even refused to practice singing in her room in order to keep it a secret.

Qin Sheng was about to continue pulling out his songs, but seeing this, he stopped rushing.

Let's wait until Na Ying finishes her performance before we talk about it.

So Qin Sheng, along with Zeng Li and Yuan Quan, found a seat and sat down, and began chatting with Liu Huanmao and Amin.

Not long after, Ying returned, beaming with joy.

Eita was very satisfied with Qin Sheng's poem "Conquer"!

This song, in terms of both vocal range and emotional intensity, seems tailor-made for her voice!

She's perfect for singing this!

Standing still in the center of the room, Na Ying proudly made a flowery gesture with her hands and said with a beaming smile:

"Please be seated, everyone, and watch my performance!"

Zeng Li and Yuan Quan had never heard Na Ying sing live before, so they were both very excited.

Liu Huan and Mao Amin were simply intrigued by Na Ying's smugness.

Everyone sat up straight, waiting for Na Ying's performance.

Na Ying spoke up.

First, the verse.

"Finally, you've found a way to settle the score."

The price of winning or losing is mutual destruction.

You appear healthy, but your heart is filled with countless wounds.

"I, in my stubbornness, am a prisoner of this battle..."

The melody of the verses was a pleasant surprise for everyone present.

It's beautiful! It's emotionally rich! It tells a strong story!

Na Ying's performance, in particular, added many layers to the song.

Then, the chorus began.

"I've been conquered by you just like that."

Cut off all escape routes

My mood is firm.

My decision was foolish.

I was conquered by you just like that.

Drink the poison you hid

My story has come to an end.

My loves and hates are now buried in the earth.

As soon as the chorus begins, a soaring high note rises up like a skyscraper rising from the ground.

Liu Huan, Mao Amin, Zeng Li, and Yuan Quan all shuddered and got goosebumps all over when they heard the chorus!

The sound is so penetrating and powerful!

The key is emotion!

The lyrics perfectly capture the humble yet resolute emotions of loving to the extreme and suffering to the extreme!

After the song ended, the recording studio was deathly silent.

Liu Huan and Mao Amin exchanged a glance and then clapped simultaneously.

After Zeng Li and Yuan Quan realized what was happening, they also joined in the applause.

Liu Huan spoke, his tone filled with unspoken admiration.

"What a great song! It's truly a great song! If this song doesn't become popular, I'll change my surname from Liu to something else!"

Mao Amin also expressed her agreement.

"It's definitely a great song! The key is that it's also suitable for Yingzi to sing, perfectly showcasing her strengths in all aspects."

Na Ying smiled broadly, but then feigned arrogance and pouted.

"Do you need to tell me? Don't I know this song is good?"

After showing off her pride, Na Ying quickly turned to Qin Sheng.

This time, his tone wasn't as harsh.

"Ah Sheng, do you have any other good songs of similar quality? Write a few more for me!"

Liu Huan and Mao Amin also looked at Qin Sheng with expressions of admiration, as if he were a genius.

Qin Sheng smiled calmly and said, "Well, sister, that's all for now. Let's wait until I have some free time. After all, I still need to find time to write songs for myself!"

Na Ying then retreated somewhat sullenly.

Zeng Li and Yuan Quan were both amazed to see that even the most arrogant of the three big shots, Na Ying, had been won over by Qin Sheng.

However, Yuan Quan's reaction was a mixture of amazement and bitterness.

She was secretly jealous again.

Zeng Li was amazed... no, he was filled with admiration.

My boyfriend is indeed an all-powerful genius!

There's no one he can't subdue!

When Liu Huan heard Qin Sheng mention his song, he smiled and took over the conversation.

"Sheng, you told us on the phone that you've finished writing your own song, and we're all really looking forward to it!"

Qin Sheng gave his usual shy smile.

"No, you two shouldn't have too high expectations. You might not even like the song I've prepared this time."

Liu Huan and Mao Amin both smiled and shook their heads.

"How is that possible? We haven't seen you release a single bad song yet!"

Qin Sheng thought to himself, thinking about the simple and straightforward lyrics and melody of "Too Softhearted": You two might really not like this song!

Without saying much, Qin Sheng handed the lyrics and music to the two of them, prepared for a moment, and then began to sing.

The first song is "Relief".

"Liberation is acknowledging that it was a mistake."

I shouldn't have kept holding on.

You have the freedom to go

I have the freedom to live well.

Liberation is knowing how to wipe away your tears and look back.

Find a new direction and move forward

This world is vast

I will always fulfill one of my dreams...

After the song was finished, Liu Huan and Mao Amin had no objections to "Liberation" and nodded in agreement.

"A very mature pop ballad. The melody is catchy in both the verses and the chorus, and you handle the emotional progression very well."

This song is great! It has the potential to be a huge hit! It's not as bad as you say.

Qin Sheng smiled but didn't say anything more.

Zhang Huimei's breakthrough work is naturally of course excellent.

However, you two might not praise me for the second song, "Too Softhearted".
