Chapter 244: Chapter 167: Maybe There’ll Be Another Grandchild Next Year!

As perceptive as Lin Xiamo is, she immediately understood why Shen Qiushan chose to sing.

Currently, all public attention is on her. Although there are many supportive voices online, criticism is also rampant. Moreover, her position at a top domestic university like Sanjiang University has indeed sparked significant controversy!

Just today, three school leaders have already approached her for discussions, and although they were polite considering her father’s status,

she is aware that the school’s publicly available phone lines have been overwhelmed, and higher authorities have called to inquire about the situation, so the pressure on the school is imaginable.

On the surface, Lin Xiamo appeared very calm, but her mind was already a chaotic mess.

After all, she had never encountered such a situation. Before she "went viral," the worst she anticipated was her father finding out about her band.

But she never imagined that forming a band would create such a massive wave of public opinion!

Just when she was at a loss for how to deal with the media storm, Shen Qiushan stepped forward.

His intention was very clear: to take the hits for her!

If you criticize Lin Xiamo, a university staff member, for joining a band,

then what do you say about Shen Qiushan, this country’s only Nebula Award winner, also joining a band?

If you criticize Lin Xiamo for singing in a bar, 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

then Shen Qiushan also plans to sing in a bar!

If you criticize Lin Xiamo’s exaggerated clothing style,

then Shen Qiushan’s clothing style is just as exaggerated.

At this moment, Shen Qiushan is not only wearing a ripped T-shirt and tight leather pants, with random leather straps wrapped around his hands, but also a skull necklace around his neck...

So, if you’re going to criticize, shouldn’t you first criticize Shen Qiushan, this Nebula Award-winning singer in bizarre clothing performing in a bar?

If the critics had a hundred bullets, in this situation now, about eighty or even ninety of them are aimed at Shen Qiushan.

This notion is not hard to grasp, so when Lin Xiamo saw Shen Qiushan in the live video, she inevitably became a bit emotionally overwhelmed.

While she is amidst the public storm, her father is no doubt a reliable backup.

But Shen Qiushan is the one who proactively stepped out to take the hits!

"What is he wearing!"

"It’s so ridiculous, just messing around!"

Upon seeing the live stream, Lin Moxuan, with a stern face, started to criticize.

However, being a seasoned veteran who has been involved in the system his whole life, he could not possibly fail to understand Shen Qiushan’s intent.

After making a comment, he silently sighed.

Shen Qiushan’s move, though seemingly absurd, managed to pull his own daughter out of the public storm.

It didn’t even require him to make a move.

And what Shen Qiushan did did not benefit him at all. He was currently a famous writer in the limelight, with a legendary academic story and excellent personal reputation.

But a Nebula Award-winning famous writer going to a bar to "sing for a living" was bound to face criticism, risking damaging the good public image he painstakingly built.

One could say he entered the fray personally, using himself as bait to help his daughter, Lin Xiamo, break through the predicament!

"The singing was good, just the outfit is too ugly."

At this moment, Chen Qingzhu muttered softly beside him.

"It’s Tingting’s work."

Lin Xiamo instinctively responded because, knowing Shen Qiushan, he couldn’t have come up with such an outfit.

So, without any surprise, it must have been the work of their Red Rose Band’s "stylist," Hu Tingting!

In fact, Shen Qiushan’s outfit, when placed in the rock circle, would only be considered standard, not outrageous at all.

A performer on stage is supposed to put on a show. Since it’s a performance, it shouldn’t be too casual; there should be some "stage flavor," and dressing in an exaggerated manner is actually part of the performance.

For instance, certain singers or bands have distinct style traits during performances, so much so that audiences familiar with them can identify who they are just by their attire, without seeing their faces.

"I never noticed before, but Qiushan has a talent for singing too!"

"His level is almost on par with professional singers."

Chen Qingzhu began commenting again. Being from a professional singing background, she would instinctively focus on professional aspects, and she was surprised to find her son-in-law’s singing skill completely exceeded her expectations.

"Brother Shen sings really well."

"He’s truly versatile!"

Zhang Chaofan, standing by, followed up with his admiration, then stole a glance at Lin Xiamo, whose attention was completely on the live stream.

Her bright, beautiful eyes reflected a glow he’d never seen before!

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Chen, it’s getting late, I’ll head back first."

Zhang Chaofan, being a sensible person, felt there was no point in staying any longer, so he proactively excused himself.

"Alright, Momo, see Xiaozhang out!"

Lin Moxuan nodded slightly, then signaled to his daughter.

But Lin Xiamo was completely absorbed in the live broadcast, seemingly deaf to her father’s words.

"Momo, your dad’s talking to you!"

Chen Qingzhu quickly tugged Lin Xiamo’s arm, then pointed to Zhang Chaofan: "Xiaozhang is leaving, see him out!"

"Oh..."

Lin Xiamo frowned slightly, clearly displaying her reluctance.

"No need, no need, I can go by myself."

Zhang Chaofan didn’t force the situation and started walking toward the door.

"Wait, I’ll see you out~"

Lin Xiamo suddenly had a change of heart, hastily catching up with Zhang Chaofan, but just before stepping out, she grabbed an overcoat hanging on the coat rack at the door.
