Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

"Uh..." Guan Fengchen got rebutted and was at a loss for words.

"Guan Ge's meaning is that newcomers have fewer constraints, possessing boundless creativity, but over time, they might stay stuck in a comfort zone and become unable to break out."

Ji Chen looked like he was kindly trying to smooth things over.

"Besides, sometimes the song and the person don't necessarily have a lot to do with each other. His songwriting is good, it's just that Xu Qingyan has too many negative reviews recently.

"We young people sometimes need to keep clean, so we can walk a steadier and longer path in the future, right?"

"Negative reviews?" Wen Shuanghua asked curiously, with her mouth slightly open and the tip of her moist tongue barely visible.

"Those criticisms don't have any substantive evidence, right?" Jiang Jingsheng chimed in, unusually defending someone, "I've seen the trending searches too, and they're basically rumors."

"In my view, Teacher Xu isn't that kind of person. If he hadn't gone on the program, with his talent, he should never have been involved in the cyberbullying."

"Cyberbullying?" Wen Shuanghua looked slightly startled.

"It's hard to distinguish the truth from the falsehood online," Wang Yu spoke, "Nowadays, cyberbullying is more about venting emotions than seeking the truth."

"That's right, a rumor from the internet, baseless, might take years to clarify," Zhang Yuqi nodded thoughtfully, speaking with emotion.

"Like the recent 'syrup grandpa' and others... when they stand on high, with the crowd on their side, bullying becomes justice, and that's simply unacceptable."

"Anyway, I believe in Teacher Xu's character. Someone who can write 'Qing Tian' and 'In a Hurry That Year' definitely can't be a person of bad repute."

The guests were discussing back and forth, which made Ji Chen's face grow increasingly ugly. He hadn't expected so many people to speak up for Xu Qingyan, even to the point of defending him.

Hou Xueheng said, "Troubles begin with minor details, and waves arise from gentle ripples. To understand someone, you can't just listen to what others say, you have to see with your eyes and feel with your heart."

"Indeed, we should wait for time to give the answer, the innocent are naturally clear," Jiang Jingsheng spoke.

Because of "In a Hurry That Year," because of "Late Marriage," suddenly everybody seemed to become a person of clear and firm stance, willing to speak more for Xu Qingyan.

The entertainment industry is high-pressure, and resources are scarce, everyone is walking on thin ice. To say that one only clears the snow on their own roof is an understatement, but without resources who would bother with you?

But when Xu Qingyan showed his value, people were willing to speak for him.

The noise level was slightly elevated in the guest assembly room, and the few people present were discussing topics unrelated to the program, the director did not come forward to stop them.

These were all conflicting materials, talking about irrelevant topics for five or six minutes was totally fine, just cut it out during editing.

Standing next to Hou Xueheng, like a disciple guarding the door, Lin Chuan seemed to be lost in thought. He looked up at the screen; Pei Muchan was already walking down.

He thought that it would be good if he could make contact with this lyricist and composer, but it wasn't really convenient right now.

Lin Chuan looked down, and Hou Xueheng looked up at him. Then he looked down again, not saying a word, until Pei Muchan returned to the assembly hall did Hou Xueheng finally speak.

"Teacher Xu should be on site too, right? I wonder if it's possible to invite him over here?"

At these words, Pei Muchan was somewhat surprised.

"What?"

"Teacher Xu is also here?" Qi Yingying was surprised, looking very eager, and turned her head to Pei Muchan, "Pei Jie, is this true?"

"Yeah." Pei Muchan was a bit embarrassed.

At this time, Lin Wanzhou, who was also in the ceasefire zone, came down. She took a glance at Pei Muchan and then quietly stood next to her, at least they knew each other.

Two little queens standing together immediately attracted everyone's attention.

One was green and naive, with skin smooth and tender, carrying the pure aura of a first love, and also had a good figure. Slender and curvaceous, her chest plump and rounded as if hiding treasures.

Even without talking, her fair face occasionally showed an untamed rosy pink, as faint as peach blossoms in spring, captivating at first sight.

The other was a mature goddess, her figure lush and trembling like a beauty in a cheongsam. Her skin was as smooth and tender as jade, her bosom full, and her buttocks round and plump like the full moon.

Only then did the guests suddenly realize... so, Xu Qingyan was writing songs for two different types of little queens? Ah? It's unlikely he doesn't have an ulterior motive.

```

How did she end up being singularly promoted by two pop divas, one after the other?

Pei Muchan did not participate in yesterday's recording. As a challenge guest, she likely did not know that Lin Wanzhou also gave Xu Qingyan a solo promotion on stage yesterday. It's the second occurrence now.

This is absolutely explosive; I can almost feel my hippocampus shrinking!

The venue was crowded, and it soon became noisy.

"The competition is over, can we invite him to come up and meet with us?" Zhang Yuqi, who had been quiet, said with a smile. She similarly admired "Late Marriage."

As for Ji Chen attributing "Late Marriage" to the boundless imagination of a newcomer, she could only chuckle inwardly. Even a genius newcomer couldn't write a song like that.

It's a song that stems from the accumulation of life experiences and songwriting expertise, not a catchy tune that pops up in the heat of the moment. Boundless imagination? What an international joke.

"I'm not sure about that, I'll need to ask for his opinion," Pei Muchan said.

Zhang Yuqi nodded with a smile, her gaze drifting to Lin Wanzhou, and she asked out of curiosity.

"Zhouzhou, when you were recording the show yesterday, did you also make a special point to thank Teacher Xu?"

"Ah? Yes... yes, I did." Lin Wanzhou was a bit nervous, "Xu Qingyan has helped me a lot. After I left Yun Yi, he wrote songs for me, and the contract was settled afterward."

Pei Muchan also looked somewhat unnatural. She had no idea that Lin Wanzhou had also thanked Xu Qingyan.

The two exchanged glances, then tacitly looked away.

So awkward, they both wanted to crawl into a hole.

The director team finally arrived late and announced the results: Qi Yingying and Guan Fengchen were unsurprisingly eliminated. The next episode would introduce new rules, taking the competition up a notch.

Pei Muchan thought to herself that she had made it into the next episode and wondered if the production team would change the contract, especially since recording one episode amounted to more than two million.

As she contemplated, the production team suddenly suggested inviting Xu Qingyan on stage to make an appearance.

Pei Muchan was stunned for a moment. Looking up, she noticed that Lin Wanzhou was somewhat flustered, turning her head to stare at her, seemingly asking for advice with a trace of worry in her eyes.

Soon enough, the staff returned.

Qi Yingying didn't see anyone coming and asked in slight surprise,

"Where is he?"

The staff member looked embarrassed, "Teacher Xu declined to come on stage. He said that as a lyricist and composer, there's no need for him to show his face."

"He also said that his plain life can still stir up a storm of rumors. He can't imagine how many rumors would be fabricated if he appeared on stage, so he'd better stick to writing songs."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yingying's disappointment was visibly evident. She turned her head toward Guan Fengchen and Ji Chen, took a glance, but showed no unusual expression.

A few people present wanted to have some contact with Xu Qingyan, perhaps hoping to discuss future song collaborations.

But with this turn of events, the person in question was too scared to show up. A faint sense of grievance began to wrap around Ji Chen, offending several people at once in a rare scene.

The recording of the show ended.

Xu Qingyan and Pei Muchan, as well as Lin Wanzhou and Qi Ting, the three women, agreed to have dinner together near the TV station. To avoid disturbance, they booked a private room.

Within ten minutes, all the dishes were served in the private room, and the two women then took off their masks.

At the medium-sized round table, Xu Qingyan sat in the middle, with Lin Wanzhou and Qi Ting on his left. On his right was Pei Muchan, who was delicately sterilizing the bowl and chopsticks, her eyes cast downward.

Since it wasn't their first time interacting, the atmosphere was not particularly awkward.

"Are you going back to Xinghai tonight?" he turned his head to look at Lin Wanzhou.

"Yes, the flight is at eleven tonight."

Xu Qingyan wanted to ask something else, but his phone suddenly rang with an unfamiliar number. He answered reflexively, and a distinctive voice came through from the other end.

"Hello, I'm Lin Chuan, the assistant guest performer for Teacher Hou at today's program."
