The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 54

Regarding the Best New Artist Award, Xia Ling wasn't too persistent about it, and thinking about having to compete with Xia Yu made her heart ache.

She never forgot their childhood in the orphanage, when Xia Yu would use her little hand – that was swollen due to her illness – to pull her clothes, and how she would gently call her "Sisters". Xia Yu was very young back then, she would be happy with sweets for a few days. However, as she grew up, even as Xia Ling piled up the wealth in front of her, she could push her sister into the bottomless abyss without hitting her eyelids.

Xia Ling did not want to see it. It was not that he gave up, nor was it because he did not have what it took to compete with him. It was that every time he saw her, he could not help but recall the heartbreaking past.

Wei Shaoyin did not have Xia Ling's problem.

The problem was about Feng Kun.

Sister Mai Na had used reverse psychology to encourage her a few days ago, but her words remained true – despite being known as a double legend for many years, Feng Kun had always been in a slightly better position overall. When they released their single at about the same time, under normal circumstances, Feng Kun's sales would be better for Wei Shaoyin. Even when it comes to media representative reviews, Feng Kun is often more profitable.

That said, many industry insiders felt that Wei Shaoyin was not to blame. Their music genre is completely different – Wei Shaoyin is more beautiful while Feng Kun is more resplendent and hence naturally more attractive to the masses. Moreover, just as Sister Mai Na had said, Feng Kun made Xia Ling a legendary diva, while the one Wei Shaoyin possessed was an unequaled singer.

But Wei Shaoyin clearly did not feel that way, he could not see the past of his loss to Feng Kun.

He dropped all his work and, with great solemnity, went on to debut his song. Whether it was the melody or the lyrics, he wanted everything to be done alone. He turned off his cell phone, moved, refused all social activities and worked on them day and night.

When Xia Ling received the song sheet, she could not believe that the melody was so peaceful and melodic.

The title of the song is "Glass Finger."

It depicts a lonely girl, wearing a white dress, missing and missing her lover on a rainy afternoon. She leaned against the full-size glass window and traced her name over and over again on the panel. Step by step on the icy glass, he wrote down his longing that he continued to be buried in the depths of his heart.

The song was uncomplicated, it was like a quiet poem with a light piano accompaniment.

However, Xia Ling knew very well how difficult this song was. The simpler, the purer. And when a song is pure, it is easier to sing but significantly harder to master.

Xia Ling felt as if it was not Feng Kun who offended Wei Shaoyin but him.

Songs like this become classics if sung well, but any minor mistake in performance will diminish in value. At this point, Xia Ling really missed Feng Kun – how much she wished for a song like "Devil of the Sea."

The culprit smirked in satisfaction. "Xiao Ling, your voice is very unique. The first feeling it causes is cold and distant, but listen closely and someone will feel clear emotions and details in your voice. At the same time, there is a clear wholeness to your voice that is hard to come by. Of all the singers I've met, only you can perfectly blend these qualities, and I'm sure you're able to lock this loneliness into eternity. You have a huge potential and this song is designed specifically for you, I'm sure it will bring you fame. "

Xia Ling weakly said, "Sir, help me if you want, this is what you got after isolating yourself for so long? Wouldn't you consider writing me a more sensational song? I'm definitely not going to embarrass you if you write a brilliant song to me, I promise. "

Wei Shaoyin did not falter. "Music comes from the soul, only a fool like Feng Kun would use various means to obscure the true beauty of human essence. Xiao Ling, let me tell you, with your talent, you will never be able to defeat Xia Ling. But don't you want to be a diva? What I give you now is a path that will lead you to achieve more than Xia Ling did. "

It's not a road, it's a deadly rope.

He horribly held the song sheet for "Finger Edge" and familiarized it according to the way Wei Shaoyin taught him. He trained for the next few days, and the more he trained, the more surprised he was. This song sounds amazingly clean and beautiful, it's quiet yet distant, a joy to listen to.

Wei Shaoyin is right. This song could set the time on the rock, it could be locked in eternity.

He poured his heart and soul into the song and was completely wrapped up in it.

He picked up the phone, got frustrated, and saw the cute avatar on the – screen that was Boss Li Lei. Xia Ling groaned, what exactly did Boss see in her that she still had not overcome it?

"Hello?" He doesn't sound very good.

On the other end of the phone, Li Lei's charming voice was transmitted in a seductive tone. "What's wrong, beautiful little girl, why get angry so quickly?"

"I'm practicing my song" his tone hasn't changed.

Big Boss Li didn't seem to be the least bit annoyed by his anger, only saying, "Don't practice anymore, come out with me for fun."

Xia Ling was stunned. "I? Going out with you? For fun?" They don't seem familiar yet.

“Ya.” Li Lei said that like a matter of course. "Are you not thinking about whose efforts made you have to debut so quickly? Even Tan Ying told you to thank me, but you haven't said much thanks. What happened to me for fun?" He sounds wrong when he talks.

Xia Ling was confused, she vaguely remembered Tan Ying reminding her to thank Li Lei when she signed the debut contract. He thought of it as a passing remark, not expecting the Big Boss to actually continue waiting.

Xia Ling was silent.

"Why don't you talk?" The Big Boss didn't let him go.

Xia Ling said, "I regret living in Skyart."

The Big Boss smiled easily. "Related? Just then, it was time to go out for a walk. The cherry blossoms in the Southern mountains have bloomed, I'll take you on a horse ride to see the flowers." The Southern Mountains outside the city are a beautiful sight, especially in spring, where cherry blossoms will stretch for miles, etching images in people's hearts and minds. There are riding clubs nearby as well, a place often protected by many wealthy millennials.

But Xia Ling did not feel like leaving. "Boss, I'm not feeling well, you better find someone else."

"If you're not well, then the more you have to go out for free time," Boss kept trying. "I'm already at the training camp, do you want me to come and pick you up? I can bring you medicine and food on the street …"

"Don't!" He cut it off before he could finish his sentence. "Don't come looking for me! I will accompany you to the Southern mountains!" He was irritated, there was no way he could let it come without having to announce it to the world. At that time, what would be his reputation?

He may go according to his wishes, consider it as. .overtime work .

He gave up and stopped bothering.

He reluctantly kept the sheet and changed it into a comfortable, neutral t-shirt and three-quarters leggings. Her changing clothes awakened an activeness within her that lifted her low spirits.

Out of fear of being seen, he meets Li Lei in the garage and climbs into his SUV while no one is around.

He sat quietly in the driver's seat. Watching him get into his car quietly like a thief, his lips curved slightly. This girl was indeed special, humble and did not attempt to take advantage of this situation for personal gain. He's just the type he likes.

He was getting more and more excited about this trip to the Southern mountains.
