Chapter 192: Second Cooperation
Xuan Xia only glanced at it once. Although she didn’t see the specific message content, she could already confirm that Chang Xi’s forecast had come true again.
Because she saw the sender: Jiang Feng.
Xuan Xia was no longer in a hurry to use her mobile phone. She casually held the mobile phone in her hand and walked toward Zhou Shiqing, who was waiting for her.
As she walked over, Hong PD and Ji Ziyao and the others also gathered around, all saying they wanted to be the first listeners.
To put it bluntly, they were actually curious about the final product and what Xuan Xia could perform this song like.
During recording, Zhou Shiqing had almost lost his temper and cursed many times, but she didn’t know what sedative he had taken today to hold back and not really get angry.
The others didn’t know, and Xuan Xia certainly wouldn’t know either.
As for the song’s final effect, because of Chang Xi’s forecast, Xuan Xia had already adjusted her mindset and wasn’t holding any special expectations.
“Why that expression? I never cursed at you.” Zhou Shiqing glanced at Xuan Xia, then smiled good-naturedly. “Being strict has meaning. The effect is very good.”
What more could Xuan Xia say? He had already said it all.
Immediately after, Zhou Shiqing signaled to the recording producer that the final product could be played.
As the recording producer operated, soon the prelude of their song jumped out lightly and cheerfully.
The song’s prelude was very short, and just over ten seconds later, it reached Xuan Xia’s first singing line.
As soon as Xuan Xia’s voice came out, Ji Ziyao and Hong PD’s eyes lit up immediately, especially Ji Ziyao, who looked at Xuan Xia with a face full of surprise and astonishment.
His eyes seemed to say: I didn’t expect you to sing so well!
Xuan Xia was also surprised. Was this her singing?
If she weren’t certain this was her voice, she would suspect if another singer had come to record this song with Zhou Shiqing.
Although Xuan Xia didn’t dare to brazenly say “perfect,” it definitely wasn’t “mediocre” as Chang Xi had said.
Xuan Xia thought, from this it was clear that Chang Xi’s divination ability wasn’t very spiritual.
The questioned Chang Xi: ……
……
After listening to the final product, Hong PD was already eager to discuss with Zhou Shiqing about editing it into the end of this episode’s program.
Seeing there was nothing for her here, Xuan Xia first told Hong PD and Zhou Shiqing and the others, then clocked off.
Hong PD took a moment to wave at her and said, “Teacher Xuan, you’ve worked hard. See you on the island next week.”
Xuan Xia said, “Okay, see you next week.”
Zhou Shiqing hesitated to speak but ultimately said nothing, simply telling her “bye-bye.”
When she walked out of the recording studio, Xuan Xia finally opened Jiang Feng’s message.
Jiang Feng had messaged her, as expected it was another dinner invitation, but unlike the previous simple dinner invites, this time he had specially revealed some news to her.
He was also joining the Worldly Fireworks crew.
Moreover, he would have scenes opposite her.
When Xuan Xia saw this, she couldn’t refuse this dinner invitation for emotional or rational reasons.
Being able to collaborate with Jiang Feng again, and with opposite scenes, made Xuan Xia happy too.
She immediately made plans with Jiang Feng for lunch tomorrow.
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but when she was scheduling time with Jiang Feng, she heard Chang Xi hum once.
That hum, it was hard to say if it was disdain or dissatisfaction.
But Xuan Xia didn’t pay it any mind. After confirming the time, she told Ji Ziyao the news that Jiang Feng was also joining the Worldly Fireworks film crew.
Ji Ziyao didn’t seem too surprised. Xuan Xia asked him, “You already knew?”
“There have already been messages about this online these past couple of days.” Ji Ziyao explained.
Right now Jiang Feng was very popular, with all sorts of news about him online every day. Even if Ji Ziyao didn’t follow him, he would still come across it from time to time.
Although Ji Ziyao didn’t like Jiang Feng, he had to admit that collaborating with a popular person had its benefits.
First there was the Jiao Yue Chronicle collaboration, and soon they would collaborate again in Worldly Fireworks. Xuan Xia’s stats had also been pulled up significantly.
But there were also downsides. Ji Ziyao was afraid that too frequent collaborations would bind their names together and cause misunderstandings.
Ji Ziyao was even more afraid that this would bring hate to Xuan Xia.
However, for now Ji Ziyao wasn’t too worried about this. He thought Jiang Feng’s team probably wouldn’t want to get too close to their side either.
For the second collaboration, Jiang Feng’s team might even be more cautious about appearances than their side.
Thinking of this, Ji Ziyao felt more at ease and began discussing next week’s island trip with Xuan Xia.
–
Xuan Xia stayed in Yanjing tonight.
Because she hadn’t stayed in her own little home for many days, when she stepped into the house and just turned on the light in the foyer, and the light suddenly flickered, she thought it was a contact issue.
It wasn’t until she was about to close the door and glimpsed a white shadow standing straight at her house’s doorway that she realized Chang Xi had run out again on their own.
Then she pursed her lips and closed the door in front of Chang Xi.
Chang Xi: ……!!!
Returning to her own little home again, Xuan Xia sighed comfortably, flopped directly onto the big sofa in the living room, and lay there for over half an hour.
Only after lying comfortably did she get up to change clothes and do some simple housework cleaning.
After finishing the housework, Xuan Xia suddenly realized something seemed off.
She even thought about what was off, and soon a spiritual light flashed in her mind. She ran to the door and tentatively opened it.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Chang Xi still standing motionless at her house’s doorway, but compared to earlier, Chang Xi’s expression looked very bad now.
Xuan Xia tilted her head and asked, “You can’t enter my house?”
Chang Xi: What a great question!
“Don’t you know your house has a master’s blessing, like copper walls and iron fortifications?” Chang Xi asked back almost grinding their teeth.
Even though they were no longer lonesome ghosts, they still couldn’t enter the house without the owner’s permission.
Xuan Xia “mm”-ed, saying flatly, “I forgot.”
Chang Xi: “…” Their teeth ground with a creak.
Xuan Xia ignored their angry look and deliberately asked, “So do you want to come in? Actually, you guarding the door for me seems pretty good too.”
Chang Xi could hear the deliberate tone in her words and immediately felt both angry and like crying.
After Xuan Xia had vented the anger from Chang Xi previously saying her performance was mediocre, she stopped teasing them.
“What do I need to do for you to come in?” Xuan Xia asked them.
Chang Xi reined in their emotions. Although it was just a couple short sentences, Chang Xi already understood they couldn’t go head-to-head with Xuan Xia—this person held grudges.
So they endured the humiliation and said, “You have to invite me in for me to enter.”
“Oh.” Xuan Xia responded, “Please come in. Is that okay?”
“Mm.” The next second, Chang Xi was gone.
Xuan Xia slightly raised her brow. When she closed the door and turned around, Chang Xi was already inside, standing at the living room entrance looking at her.
After making eye contact with Xuan Xia, Chang Xi endured the humiliation again and said, “You have a thing in your living room. I can’t go any further.”
Xuan Xia couldn’t help but chuckle “puchi.”
Chang Xi had a completely deflated expression.
