Chapter 73: 72. Want to listen to that boy sing_1
“South Wind speaks, north of the Back Sea.”
“The Back Sea has headstones.”
When the last lyric was sung, the audience erupted in applause. Yang Xi sat in the darkness of the stage, watching so many people genuinely applauding her song, feeling as if her dream was about to come true.
In the darkness, she stared at Ren He behind her and whispered, “Thank you.”
“What’s there to thank after exchanging our vows,” Ren He chuckled, causing Yang Xi’s face to turn red instantly. This man just couldn’t change his irreverent ways.
Ren He then took her hand, feeling the warmth of her palm. He said to the audience on stage, “I’ll see you all tomorrow.”
Right after saying that, he immediately pulled Yang Xi and ran towards the back door that had been prepared in advance. If they didn’t run now, they might be caught by the crowd. Ren He was crystal clear about this, having experienced the song releases of yesterday and today. He had already proven with Yang Xi that they both had every right to sing here, and even in higher, vaster places.
Moreover, if they had just stood up there and sung normally, perhaps they wouldn’t have made such an impact. It was precisely because they chose the most curious-inducing way to appear from the start!
The harder it was to get to the truth, the more the audience pursued them. That sense of mystery and distance only fueled their fame to burn like the flames on an autumn day, stars sparking the prairie!
Hunger marketing wasn’t very popular in this era, but Ren He had played this game plenty of times in his past life! Call it hype or a gimmick, as long as the song was right, then everything was right.
The manager from Hua Ge Media, Li Yinglong, watched as Ren He and Yang Xi headed to the back, sensing trouble brewing. Were they leaving again? Had Qiu Qingkong been right? Were these two youngsters not so easy to deal with after all?
He hastened after them because, after all, he was just an employee at Hua Ge. He couldn’t afford to botch the task specially assigned by Qiu Qingkong without it affecting his impression with the boss.
However, when he burst through the back door, all he could see was a colossal pickup truck speeding off into the distance. Li Yinglong hesitated. Was it that truck? It probably wasn’t, right? That was an out-of-town license plate, and besides, how could the two middle schoolers possibly drive?
Li Yinglong shook his head and left. He had to think about how to explain things to Qiu Qingkong. But fortunately, they had said, “See you tomorrow.”
So, they would definitely reappear tomorrow.
In fact, his failure to do his homework properly was showing. If he had investigated a little more, he would have known that during the encounter between Ren He and the two folk singers at the highway service area yesterday, those singers knew Ren He could drive and had a deep impression of that huge pickup.
Xie Zexi smiled at the bustling scene in the bar, thrilled. If his bar could do this much business every day, what was there to worry about?
But he knew this was all temporary. If those two didn’t return to his bar tomorrow, the booming business would instantly shift to another bar.

How could he persuade them to keep singing at his place? Offer a performance fee? It seemed they weren’t short on cash.
A bold idea crossed Xie Zexi’s mind: What if he invited them to become shareholders?
He startled himself with the thought—it was a big decision, one that required further consideration.
But sometimes, life’s opportunities come just once.
…
That night, the complete videos of Ren He and Yang Xi singing began to circulate across major forums. This time, everyone could hear the full songs, with one video even taken from the front row, barely capturing any noise.
Moreover, the person who posted even shared Ren He’s remarks on building socialism, amusing a myriad of netizens. However, what surprised everyone the most were two points: first, that they were only junior high students—although judging by their stature, they did indeed seem like junior high students.
This was quite shocking. In the entire entertainment industry, only a handful of good songs are released each year, yet these two junior high students brought out three songs in one breath, and they said “see you tomorrow.”
Does that mean there will be a new song tomorrow?
The second point is that, regardless of the video clip, it didn’t capture their faces clearly at all; the stage was just too dark with no lighting pointing in that direction.
Although everyone knew they were junior high students, there was no way to start looking for them.
When Ren He left, he saw Li Yinglong chasing after him in the rearview mirror. To be safe, he didn’t even plan to drive to Back Sea tomorrow.
The two of them were like knights who suddenly barged into the entertainment circle, stirring up the tranquil sea into a state of turmoil, and then disappeared as quickly as they came.
The topic ultimately circled back to the songs themselves—undoubtedly, all three were hits! Really catchy!
The three songs spread across China, from South of South Mountain to the north, at a terrifying speed. Sharing such videos online wasn’t a copyright infringement, but major music websites and apps were a bit vexed because they couldn’t include these songs in their libraries due to copyright issues. They could only watch helplessly as the clicks on video websites surged.
“I don’t know why, but I suddenly want to hear that boy sing too…”
“I want to listen +1!”
“I have a feeling he’d sound great singing, especially since his guitar playing is simply top-notch. I heard the live performance yesterday. My cousin used to brag about being the best guitarist in their school, but after this comparison, it’s just unbearable to listen to…”
Strangely enough, what was meant to boost Yang Xi ended up adding quite a few fans for Ren He himself…
Now, besides Ren He and Yang Xi, the only person who knew the truth was Jiang Siyao, as she had heard Yang Xi sing the new songs to her, so she knew exactly who “The Brightest Star in the Night Sky” was penned by.
However, when she first heard them, there were only three songs: “Wonderful Ability Song,” “The Brightest Star in the Night Sky,” and “South of South Mountain.”
Yet now, as things gradually escalated, she discovered that her cousin hadn’t sung “Wonderful Ability Song” but instead added a new one called “Go to Dali.”
This time they stormed into the entertainment industry in an odd yet effective way, but just how many songs did they come prepared with? Jiang Siyao’s album release achieved unprecedented success, with three songs cementing her status as a diva and causing album sales to skyrocket again. Although she wasn’t quite the top star yet, her increased prestige was tangible.
She suddenly wondered, what if she couldn’t produce such good songs for her next album? Would Ren He sell songs to her again? Jiang Siyao felt she needed to improve her relationship with her cousin, as someone who had been through it all. She could see in Ren He’s eyes when he looked at Yang Xi, the flourishing emotions were evident.
Just like Jiang Chen before.
No, even more intense than Jiang Chen.
…
Because I suddenly felt like adding more, cough cough, as long as everyone’s happy.
