Chapter 368 - 368 Wishful Thinking
368 Wishful Thinking
Cao Zhuzhu and Su Ji had met a few times before, but they had not spoken more than three sentences before.
Cao Zhuzhu had seen Su Ji on TV.
She knew she had a lot of fans, but that wouldn’t affect her impression of her. Celebrities act differently in public and private settings.
However, after meeting her today, she found her interesting.
There seemed to be an inexplicable magnetic field around Su Ji that made people want to get close to her.
And when the two of them started playing the lute together, the attraction was different.
Su Ji only needed to listen to the song once to play it.
That was strange.
They were both studying in Kyokushin, but she didn’t know Su Ji before The Billion Stars became popular.
Immediately after, Su Ji played the song for the second time. Cao Zhuzhu wanted to say that she had finally found a soulmate, but she soon realized that Su Ji’s playing was not exactly the same as the last time. She changed a few notes and rearranged Cao Zhuzhu’s adaptation. At the beginning of the chorus, Cao Zhuzhu stopped playing and only listened to her play.
Soon, there was only one thing in Cao Zhuzhu’s mind, “she’s really good!”
Su Ji never changed a song beyond recognition. She only changed a few notes and some rhythm.
However, after she did, it sounded so good.
With only the last part left, Cao Zhuzhu seemed to have thought of something. She quickly pulled out the lyrics of the original song from her phone and placed it on the table where Su Ji could see it. She wanted Su Ji to sing one part.
A few seconds later, even though the room next door had good soundproofing, a woman’s voice could be vaguely heard. Together with the sound of a lute, her voice poured out in torrents.
Her voice was very distinct. When she was singing, her cold voice was replaced with something that could penetrate one’s heart.
In the room next door, a waitress came in to refill the tea. The waitress was the one who had been secretly talking about Pei Huai.
When she was pouring tea for Pei Huai, she was so nervous that she almost spilled the tea. Then, she stepped aside with red ears and asked him how the temperature was.
When Pei Huai replied to her, he lowered his voice.
His voice was also very pleasant. When he spoke softly, he sounded so gentle that it could melt the others around him.
The waitress found another reason to ask him something, and he still replied softly. Although he did not look at her, he smiled.
She was extremely nervous because when her colleague was there, he had not spoken so gently.
However, just as she was still thinking about it, the young master beside her, who was sipping his milk tea, asked him, “that sounds so nice. Is that Ms. Su Ji?”
The man smiled and replied, “yes.”
At that moment, all the fantasies in the waitress mind shattered into bubbles.
His smile wasn’t directed at her, and his gentleness had nothing to do with her.
He was listening to his girlfriend sing!
It was just her wishful thinking!
After that, she didn’t say anything more and quickly left the private room with a red face.
When Jiang Cuiqin came back from the bathroom, several people were standing at the door of the private room, listening to the song in the room.
She was feeling confused, but then she also heard a moving melody coming from inside.
The a.s.sistant said in surprise, “Ms. Jiang, I think it’s the song that Sonya wanted to play for you. Is she practicing inside? ”
Jiang Cuiqin nodded, “that’s really good. I thought she just knew the theory.”
“Of course, Sonya used to be in a popular girl group. I even bought their alb.u.ms.”
However, as the two of them were talking, two figures opposite them came towards them.
When the a.s.sistant saw the two of them, her first reaction was to smile and greet them, but the next second, she stopped waving her hand.
???
Sonya and Nan Miaomiao?
Jiang Cuiqin was also stunned. She looked at Sonya, then listened to the lute that was still playing in the room, and then she pushed the door open.
Su Ji was holding the lute and had just finished the last note.
Jiang Cuiqin didn’t even look at the two people in the corridor and quickly walked into the room, “Su Ji, you can play the lute too?”
Su Ji looked at Cao Zhuzhu, “she can do it too. She played the chorus just now.”
At this moment, Jiang Cuiqin looked at them in a different light, “then why didn’t you mention it?”
Just then, Nan Miaomiao and Sonya returned to the private room. Su Ji laughed in a low-profile manner, “the song we adapted is also Sonya’s song. Let’s listen to the original.”
After that, she handed the lute to Sonya, who took it and looked at her suspiciously.
She heard a part of it. It was indeed her song, but it had been adapted.
And what made her feel a little uncertain at this moment…was Su Ji’s skills.
However, Sonya had no choice but to play it.
Everyone sat down and quieted down. She was playing the original version of her song.
When their song was first released, the response from the fans was particularly enthusiastic. However, before she played it, Su Ji had just played the revised version that she and Cao Zhuzhu adapted together. In comparison, her original version was not even worth mentioning.
Even if she played and sang at the end, it didn’t help. Nan Miaomiao kept flattering her, but Jiang Cuiqin just smiled and nodded.
The group of people didn’t stay in the room for long and were ready to leave.
In the room next door, Pei Huai came out with Pei Xingxing.
Pei Huai’s gaze fell on Su Ji and he took the backpack from her hands.
Jiang Cuiqin still had a few friends in the a.s.sociation to say h.e.l.lo to, so she left without them.
Pei Xingxing tugged at Cao Zhuzhu and Su Ji’s hands, “the song was nice.”
Cao Zhuzhu laughed and said, “you’re the first child who likes to listen to the lute.”
Pei Xingxing said seriously, his baby voice crisp and clear. “I’ve heard the songs you guys played before, really!”
Sonya, who was looking at Pei Xingxing, paused when she heard this.
There were no outsiders around, so she walked up to Pei Xingxing with a look of disbelief. “Xingxing, do you still remember that song?”
Pei Xingxing looked at her with his big eyes and slowly nodded.
Sonya’s nose twitched, “I practiced that song every day when you were first born. I didn’t expect you to remember.”
Su Ji and Cao Zhuzhu looked at each other.
But then, Pei Xingxing hummed a melody and said, “this is my favorite line. It’s so nice.”
Sonya’s touched expression froze. He liked the part that Su Ji and Cao Zhuzhu had adapted.
There was no such line in her original song!
