Chapter 156: Chapter 133: Divine Comedy

In order not to disturb the already sleeping Lin Yun, Ye Xiao listened with headphones.

As soon as the intro played through her headphones, Ye Xiao couldn’t help but shiver.

This intro… was terrific!

Despite being very simple notes, there was an inexplicable deep sadness hidden within them.

That feeling made one unable to resist indulging in it, never to wake up again.

Ye Xiao was naturally more optimistic, but even she couldn’t help feeling a touch of melancholy listening to such an intro; if it were someone emotionally sensitive, the impact would have been even greater.

After the intro passed.

Ye Bingtong’s singing voice rang out.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help frowning.

Ye Bingtong had not undergone professional training, and this time, she had hurriedly taken the stage.

As soon as she started singing, there was a forced quality to it, which dragged this divine song down to the level of an internet celebrity’s song!

But because the song was captivating enough, and with post-production tuning, Ye Bingtong’s voice was barely tolerable.

Ye Xiao patiently listened until the end, her brows tightening slightly.

This song was indeed very good.

Was it truly Luo Ping’s own creation?

In the original book, Ye Xiao knew that Luo Ping had plagiarized and usurped Lin Yun’s work as his own.

But in this life, she couldn’t yet conclude.

Soon, the song started playing from the beginning again.

Ye Xiao was deep in thought.

Suddenly, someone took off her headphones, and Lin Yun moved next to Ye Xiao, inserting one earbud into her own ear.

The arresting intro played once more.

Ye Xiao looked at Lin Yun with some concern.

Lin Yun listened with a consistently calm expression.

When Ye Bingtong’s voice began, her brow twitched, displaying a very uncomfortable expression.

The singers of her songs had always been top figures in the music industry; this was the first time for a novice like Ye Bingtong.

Barely finishing the song, Lin Yun turned her head and saw the worried look in Ye Xiao’s eyes.

She smiled faintly and said, “This song is mine.”

Just as expected.

Ye Xiao wasn’t the least bit surprised, but she was somewhat worried.

Worried that Lin Yun would be emotionally affected by the plagiarism of her work.

However, Lin Yun remained very composed.

She explained, “This was a piece I wrote last year. At the time, I had finished writing the song, but I was never quite satisfied with it, so I ended up throwing the score into the trash. Luo Li must have picked it up from there.”

Ye Xiao immediately understood.

In the storyline of the original book, Luo Li had monitored Lin Yun and stolen her unreleased new song.

This time.

Lin Yun had resolved the issue in advance, so naturally, Luo Li had no way to steal her new song and could only make do with an old score.

But Lin Yun was truly deserving of her reputation.

Even a work she had discarded was still a masterpiece.

Ye Xiao glanced at the comment section.

Most people were still scolding Ye Bingtong for being shameless.

But there were also many touched by the song.

“Although Ye Bingtong is shameless, to be fair, this is indeed a good song.”

“The author of this song is Luo Li? Isn’t that the same assistant Lin Yun scolded in the video?”

“Lin Yun’s assistant is so talented?”

“The song is good, but… it’s such a waste to have Ye Bingtong sing it! A beautiful song spoiled by an affected performance!”

Any comment that mentioned the song was a rave review.

There were even those who started to inquire about Luo Li’s name.

Ye Xiao kept a careful watch over Lin Yun’s expression.

But Lin Yun was indeed different from the one in the original book.

She saw the comments from netizens, her lips maintaining a faint smile.

Seeing Ye Xiao look over, she said softly, “They’ve acknowledged my song, why wouldn’t I be happy?”

Her eyes held a serene epiphany, and Ye Xiao couldn’t help but smile along.

She thought.

She had indeed underestimated these supporting male and female characters in the books.

Actually.

If not for being bound by the plot, each of them was originally shining brightly.

In this life.

With just a few minor changes she made, these supporting characters slowly revealed their own brilliance.

Ye Bolin.

Gu Yan.

Liu Yan.

And now Lin Yun.

As well as other supporting characters who had awakened.

Even if she didn’t make any more changes, they would gradually take control of their lives and carve out a brand new path.

“But,” Lin Yun blinked at Ye Xiao, “since it’s my work, there’s absolutely no reason for someone else to plagiarize it. Xiaoxiao, I know how to handle this situation now.”

Ye Xiao listened intently, “You tell me.”

She could actually use her golden finger to solve this problem.

But.

Since it was Lin Yun’s work, and Lin Yun had her own way of dealing with it, Ye Xiao naturally chose to respect that.

“At the time, I wasn’t satisfied with the piece; I felt something was missing, but I couldn’t figure out what to change, so I had to abandon the work for the time being,” Lin Yun said softly. “But now, I have an idea on how to revise it.”

In the faint moonlight, Lin Yun’s eyes sparkled: “At that time, I wrote the piece directly on manuscript paper, which I’ve since thrown away. The original should be with Luo Li. He wouldn’t possibly bring out the original for handwriting verification, so indeed, I have no objective evidence to prove it’s my work. However, when it comes to a composer’s business, let’s resolve it with composing. I will let everyone know what the final version of the song should really look like.”

Speaking of composing.

Confidence filled Lin Yun’s face, and at that moment, she seemed to glow.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but smile softly, “Good, I look forward to your work.”

“Xiaoxiao, let me handle this. Give me two days, and I can prove everything,” Lin Yun said earnestly.

Ye Xiao nodded earnestly as well, “Okay.”

Lin Yun had her resolve, and she wanted to handle it her own way, so they would go with her plan.

Lin Yun said softly, “I’m heading to my composing room now. Wait for my news.”

Lin Yun felt the notes of inspiration leaping through her mind.

She quickly muttered a few words and left the hotel overnight.

In the night.

Lin Yun’s eyes shone brighter than the starlight.

Once.

Her world was filled with darkness.

Her most famous songs were mostly emo, filled with melancholy.

But now things were different.

She had met Ye Xiao.

Her world was completely illuminated.

That song.

It shouldn’t have been written like that.

Lin Yun left decisively, and Ye Xiao, concerned for her safety, had the Ye Family’s driver see Lin Yun out.

She then continued to focus on the plot.

After releasing the song.

Most netizens were praising the song while still cursing Ye Bingtong.

But there were also a very few comments suggesting Ye Bingtong might really be pitiful.

Although these opinions weren’t yet mainstream, considering she was the heroine—who flourishes with just a bit of sunshine—any potential for the heroine to turn the tables must be nipped in the bud!

Ye Xiao observed coldly.

After releasing the song, Ye Bingtong started preparing to stage a fake suicide.
