Chapter 394 -373: The Blessing of Qi People_1

By the time Wang Qiu saw Xian Yu’s post, many people had already listened to “White Rose” that night.

Countless people found themselves entrapped by their emotions.

And there were just as many who had sudden realisations after the song ended.

In the vast and tranquil ocean of the listeners’ minds, the song “White Rose” was like a boulder plunging into the water.

Plop.

Water splashed in all directions.

Ripples spread out in circles, eventually returning to a state of calm.

But the thoughts it left for the audience did not fade away with the end of the song. Instead, it spread out like the ripples, growing larger and larger.

“Xian Yu, in a somewhat boastful manner, reminded everyone once again that his lyric and composition skills are equally excellent!”

“If someone else did one song with two sets of lyrics, I would think they were just trying to trick me into spending a dollar to download the song. But for Xian Yu, I hope he never stops.”

“Language doesn’t matter, red and white roses, two atmospheres.”

“I love the turmoil of the red rose, the preciousness of the white rose, but these descriptions are ultimately from a man’s perspective. Most people can’t achieve the transparency of Xian Yu, also, because of Xian Yu, I seem to be interested in songs in Qi language.”

“After listening to this and then listening to “Red Rose”, I understood how cruel that song really is.”

“If you fall in love with a red rose, and enter the hall with a white rose, perhaps you may still hold the hand of the white rose at the time of death, but your eyes will surely shed tears for the red rose.”

“When I think of my first love, if she was not the white rose, she might have been a grain of white rice.”

“The red rose is loved by someone not loved, the white rose is to love someone who does not love oneself, it doesn’t get more helpless than this.”

“…”

And as the comment sections of various music sites fell into chaos, the lyricist Rabbit Two, who had previously analyzed “Ten Years” and “Next Year, Today”, also posted a new status:

“Another sleepless night.”

Rabbit Two had previously mentioned that Xian Yu’s songwriting skills were good enough to keep many lyricists awake at night. This combined with his current status, immediately brought a knowing smile to the faces of many fans:

“Boss Rabbit, aren’t you going to analyze the relationship between the lyrics of the two songs today?”

“Why not analyze the two songs for us again?”

“Exactly, I feel like I understand, but also feel like I don’t understand.”

“Boss Rabbit, here’s a reading comprehension question that’s right up your alley.”

“…”

Some netizens were joking, while others genuinely hoped for Rabbit Two to analyze it.

Rabbit Two replied to the most popular comment: “Let me put it this way. You are a cheating man, the red rose is your wife, the white rose is your lover. You like the white rose, but if the white rose were to become your wife, you would realize that you actually like the red rose more.”

Immediately after this…

Rabbit Two reposted a status update from the official Xian Yu about ‘all men having had two women’:

“Xian Yu himself has already analyzed it for you all, what more do you need me to say?”

The famous lyricist didn’t want to waste too many words this time because the story of the Red Rose and White Rose is easy to understand. Regardless of the different lyrics, both songs essentially tackle the same subject but from different perspectives.

…

In fact, the liveliest spot was the post Xian Yu had published. The comment section was filled with messages from various users.

Most people, like the commentators, were philosophical and heartfelt in their responses.

Some however, were playful.

For example, one comment read:

“I’m just worried about Sun Yaohuo. When the rhythm starts, which one would he sing, red or white? Would he suddenly think of the lyrics to ‘White Rose’ while singing ‘Red Rose’, or vice versa?”

Amid praises of “Go for it, we stand by you”, this comment garnered numerous likes.

Others imitated the form and wrote:

“When the prelude began, Sun Yaohuo started to sing: ‘Next Year, Today, I won’t know you, the bed has changed, yet we remain the same…'”

Those who were serious dived deep into the music and made thoughtful comments, while others found their own ways to enjoy themselves:

“The Brave Three Brothers: Thankfully we took off quick.”

“Don’t talk to me about red roses and white roses, I’ll take both!”

“Xian Yu is really good at changing outfits, every time he changes his outfit, he feels different to me.”

“Sun Yaohuo: Xian Yu is just a costume designer, but I am the one who actually wears them!”

“Moonlight in his heart, eh? Isn’t that a line from Chu Kuang’s poem? And you say there’s no illicit affair between you two?”

“I see, so this is how you are supposed to interpret ‘moonlight in his heart’!”

“You may not believe this, but Xian Yu always has me downloading his songs twice.”

“Xian Yu: Thank you for the reminder. I’ve got the password for wealth.”

“…”

Regardless of how the netizens teased, at the end of the day, they wanted to emphasize that Xian Yu’s one song, two lyrics trick had worked wonders.

Only Xian Yu could write two versions of a song with the exact same tune.

Of course.

The Qi people were always the happiest of all.

“I am liking Xian Yu more and more. Teacher Admirable Fish, please translate your other songs into Qi language soon!”

“Xian Yu is forever a friend of the Qi people!”

“After listening to ‘Ten Years’, I felt average. After ‘Next Year, Today’, I thought it was impressive. After ‘Red Rose’, I wasn’t interested. After ‘White Rose’, I was blown away. And then, as I listened to ‘Ten Years’ and ‘Red Rose’ again, I found them especially melodious. Xian Yu really sings well.”

“Sun Yaohuo: Are you sure?”

“…”

The Qi people also started to play along with the jokes, brimming with happiness, even declaring it their fortune as Qi people.

“God damn it, this is our ‘Qi Ren Zhi Fu’!”

The netizens burst into laughter, “Qi Ren Zhi Fu” comes from “Mencius”. Although it doesn’t really have anything to do with the Qi people, it refers to the bliss of having a wife and a concubine. Today, it signifies a prosperous life with a husband and a wife.

But.

If you link the conversations around “Red Rose” and “White Rose”, “Qi Ren Zhi Fu” is indeed fitting.

That is, of course, provided a person is allowed to have a red rose and a white rose at the same time. That would truly be a “Qi Ren Zhi Fu”.

And while “White Rose” was causing a stir among the netizens-

Apart from Wang Qiu, the other two top-tier singers who had narrowly escaped their ranking this October also breathed a sigh of relief after listening to “White Rose.”

The trio even started a private conversation:

“My god, that was close.”

“Who said there was hope? Is this what’s called hope?”

“So, I am not listening, not listening, not listening!”

“Facing Xian Yu, isn’t it the same as participating in the Twelve Gods Battle in December?”

“…”

Who chickened out?

This is being genuine!

What no one knew was that that same night, Chen Zhiyu also stayed up late, even getting up especially to feed his fish.

As he fed the fish, he muttered to himself:

“I had no choice if I did. If I had a choice, I’d be one of the Brave Four right now. I heard Fei Yang is preparing for this year’s Gods Battle…”

Chen Zhiyu dropped the food.

The previously calm fish tank suddenly stirred up as the fish skillfully opened its mouth and devoured the food.
