Qinghe saw in the backend that Li Changle had updated at noon and was a bit puzzled.
This guy usually updates one chapter in the morning, like clockwork. Why did he update two chapters today, with another short one afterward?
Qinghe was extremely fond of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. He felt there were few novels with such writing on Chinese websites, and even the older generation of wuxia masters weren't much better.
He had already read this book several times, and each time he felt it was truly well-written.
In just over a hundred thousand characters, the characters were vividly portrayed, and the main plotline kept advancing.
This made Qinghe feel that The Legend of the Condor Heroes was different from previous wuxia novels. The theme of this novel was definitely not simple; the fighting and killing in the Jianghu were just the surface.
In reality, it should express a deeper theme, but the current word count was too low to see much, which made Qinghe's heart itch with anticipation. What a great book...
After finishing the latest chapter, Qinghe was still unsatisfied. He clicked on the short chapter and his mouth twitched when he saw the few words on it.
He wrote a song in his spare time? And asked readers to listen to it?
If you have so much free time, shouldn't you be updating The Legend of the Condor Heroes more? You write novels, you can write poetry, and now you can write songs. Is there anything you can't do?
"Young people nowadays are truly amazing..."
Qinghe sighed and finally, with a hint of apprehension, opened a music platform and searched for "Red Bean." He knew this song.
Ruyi had already posted about it on her social media that morning, but he felt that a song like this, which young girls liked, would probably have a generation gap with him.
Songs that young people listen to wouldn't suit him.
However, a few minutes later, Qinghe, still unsatisfied, clicked play again and then set it to repeat.
"This song is quite good..."
"The lyrics are also well-written. I wonder how this young person's mind works; they're practically omnipotent."
Qinghe was clearly not the only one with such thoughts. In the comment section, readers were in an uproar.
"Holy crap, this song 'Red Bean' was actually written by you? I thought it was just a coincidence of names!"
"I'm hyping up 'Red Bean' so much! Everyone, go listen to my wife's song..."
"I've been listening to it on repeat for half a day. I didn't expect you, you scoundrel, to be the one who wrote it!"
"This scoundrel actually knows my goddess and wrote a song for her?"
"You might not believe this, but he not only wrote 'Red Bean,' but the very popular song 'Lovesickness' online was also written by him, if I'm not mistaken..."
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
"Alas, I lack the eloquence to express my current inner thoughts with anything more than 'Holy crap!'"
"I believe you now when you said you injured your hand practicing the guitar when you were updating 'The Legend of the Sword and Fairy.' Turns out you can actually write songs!"
"Isn't his top priority to update The Legend of the Condor Heroes? This is way too little content!"
"+1 He actually has time to write songs and poems? That's outrageous!"
"Upstairs, didn't you see? He said he wrote it casually in his spare time."
"Holy crap, if this song was really written casually by him, then I beg him to be more casual more often!"
"+1 Good songs are really getting rarer these days. 'Red Bean' is truly a breath of fresh air!"
"Is there anything he can't do? He's amazing. I'm a fan of this author!"
"Thinking about it, both this poem and the song 'Red Bean' express the feeling of lovesickness. This is a dream collaboration, so to speak."
"Holy crap, I didn't even notice until you said it. It can be played like that?"
"Wang Wanjun's new album is called 'Lovesickness.' Could there be a connection..."
Wang Siyi looked at the sales curve in the backend and saw a significant fluctuation, with sales suddenly surging. She was a bit confused.
The promotion for her new album was already done, and Huang Wenchuan's movie hadn't started its pre-release buzz yet. Why had sales increased so much?
When she opened the comment section, it was filled with check-in comments.
"Checking in! Recommended by Li Xiaoyao!"
"Checking in +1"
"Came from Chinese Net!"
"Me too!"
"Came from Chinese Net as well!"
Seeing the comments, Wang Siyi took out her phone again and opened Chinese Net. She saw the latest chapter of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which was clearly Li Changle recommending the song.
It was normal for webnovel authors to recommend books to readers, but recommending a song was unprecedented.
Wang Siyi pursed her lips slightly. Her heart felt sweet, and she couldn't stop smiling.
"Silly boy!"
She took out her phone and sent Li Changle a message:
"Why are you promoting my new song?"
Seeing that Wang Siyi had finally contacted him, Li Changle felt that his efforts had not been in vain and was somewhat pleased.
Feeling a strong desire to be praised by Wang Siyi, he immediately replied.
"Weren't you unhappy because your new album wasn't being promoted? I figured this was the only thing I could do for you. It seems to have had some effect now."
Wang Siyi, however, was puzzled. When had she ever been unhappy about not having promotional resources for her new album? If she was unhappy, why didn't she know about it?
"When did I say I was unhappy about not having promotional resources for my new album?"
"But you ignored me all morning. I thought you were unhappy about that..."
Upon reading Li Changle's message, Wang Siyi was stunned, her heart suddenly filled with immense joy.
She then picked up her phone and ran back to her room, collapsing onto the bed and rolling around with all her might. Xiuxiu, seeing Wang Siyi's strange behavior, couldn't help but be surprised.
She then looked at the album sales and comments on the backend, then glanced in the direction Wang Siyi had run off to. Her heart was once again filled with envy, feeling extremely sour.
After a while, she sat up, her face flushed. He had actually started to guess her inner thoughts, to guess when she was unhappy and try to make her happy.
This made Wang Siyi even more certain that Li Changle must like her, even if he didn't realize it himself.
Wang Siyi thought joyfully. As she thought, tears welled up in her eyes. These were tears of happiness. She felt her decision was not wrong.
She felt even more confident about her future. If it were just her unrequited love, she might have been timid.
But now that she knew Li Changle had feelings for her, she had nothing to fear.
Even if she couldn't be a star, and her parents disagreed, she would still be with Li Changle.
"I'm not unhappy, don't worry."
"I'm sorry, I won't ignore your messages without reason again."
Wang Siyi sent two messages to Li Changle in quick succession.
Just as Li Changle was about to reply, his phone rang. It was Wang Siyi calling.
Wang Siyi desperately wanted to see Li Changle right now. There was no specific reason, she just missed him, missed him terribly.
Seeing the incoming video call, Li Changle felt a bit strange. What was with this woman, calling him for a video chat for no reason?
However, it seemed like he hadn't seen her in a long time. Acting on a whim, he answered the call.
"Why are you crying? And you said you weren't unhappy!"
The second update is here. Wishing everyone a Happy May Day in advance!
Lastly, I'm asking for a vote. Thank you, everyone~
