Chapter 82: I'll Sing "Love Transactions"


"But… they’re right there." Chu Qingci pointed behind Li Wei.


Li Wei turned quickly, his body trembling. He saw Ye Chui, Fang Nan, and Fang Xi standing outside Room 3. His eyes widened as he recognized the wheelchair-bound Ye Chui, the beautiful Fang Nan, and the chubby Fang Xi, who had previously blocked him and Fang Lao. It was indeed them! What a coincidence!


Li Wei was excited. "Yes, it’s them!"


"The person in the wheelchair who wrote a song like 'Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Roses' must be very talented!" Chu Qingci said, her eyes shining. "I must buy 'Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Roses' from him, no matter the cost!"


"But why are they here? Are they recording a song too?" Li Wei wondered. "Maybe… they’ve already given 'Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Roses' to someone else, and that’s the song being recorded right now!"


Hearing this, Chu Qingci’s expression changed. "No, that song must be my lead single!"


With that, Chu Qingci eagerly walked towards Ye Chui.


Li Wei quickly opened his portable light computer and called Fang Lao. Since Fang Lao had asked him to find Ye Chui, he needed to contact him now that he had found Ye Chui. If Ye Chui intended to give "Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Roses" to someone else, Fang Lao, the music maestro, might be able to help negotiate.


...


Ye Ling had recorded "Ningxia" five times, and under the guidance of the sound engineer, the recording was becoming perfect.


Suddenly, Fang Xi exclaimed, "Whoa!"


"What’s wrong with you?" Fang Nan asked, annoyed.


"It’s Chu Qingci! Chu Qingci is really here!" Fang Xi whispered excitedly. Seeing his idol unexpectedly would shock anyone.


"Hmm?" Hearing this, Ye Chui and Fang Nan instinctively turned to look.


"Brother Cha, Sis, don’t turn around all at once; you’ll scare Qingci away," Fang Xi urged. "Brother Cha, you look first, then Sis. Don’t turn together!"


"...” Ye Chui was speechless but complied, turning to look first.


She had a nice figure, was very tall, and although she wore sunglasses, she was likely very beautiful. Her walk exuded an aura of arrogance. But to Ye Chui, she wasn’t as stunning as Fang Nan.


"Brother Cha, did you see enough? Turn back quickly; it’s Sis’s turn." Fang Xi whispered orders.


Ye Chui, amused by Fang Xi’s seriousness, was about to turn back when he noticed that the woman seemed to be looking at him and walking in his direction.


"Brother Cha, did you see enough? Turn back, or Qingci will be scared away," Fang Xi urged nervously.


"Do you think Chu Qingci is a small animal that can be scared away?" Ye Chui replied, exasperated.


As he said this, Chu Qingci was already a few meters away, clearly heading towards them. Ye Chui turned his wheelchair to face her.


"Hello, I heard that…" Chu Qingci began, but her words trailed off. She turned abruptly to look at the recording room.


Ye Ling was on her sixth take of "Ningxia," and the fresh melody filled the air through the speakers.


The song captivated Chu Qingci, making her forget what she was about to say.


This song was just as good as "Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Roses"!


—It’s worth noting that both songs are classics. Comparing them is difficult, but Chu Qingci had only heard Fang Lao hum "Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Roses" once, recognizing its quality but not its full charm. In contrast, Ye Ling’s performance of "Ningxia" showcased its beauty perfectly.


Chu Qingci stood there, frozen in place.


"Miss Chu?" Ye Chui asked, noticing her daze. Fang Xi and Fang Nan also turned to look at her.


Chu Qingci didn’t respond. Instead, she listened intently, her eyes shining. It wasn’t until Ye Ling finished the song that she snapped out of her stupor.


The song had struck her deeply, making her feel as if her previous songs were insignificant in comparison. She said excitedly to Ye Chui, "Excuse me… what is this song? I’m willing to buy it at any cost!"


"Buy this song?" Ye Chui was taken aback but shook his head. "Sorry, this song is written for my sister. I won’t let anyone else sing it."


"I’ll pay 200,000 yuan!" Chu Qingci offered urgently. The current market price for the best songs was only about 50,000 yuan. Offering 200,000 was very generous.


But Ye Chui still shook his head. "Sorry, I want my sister to sing this song."


Chu Qingci’s face showed desperation. This song could elevate her career to new heights, and she couldn’t miss this opportunity.


As she was about to increase her offer, Fang Xi spoke up, "Miss Qingci, Brother Cha has many other songs. If this one isn’t available, he can write another for you."


Chu Qingci glanced at Fang Xi, still anxious. Such high-quality songs were rare, and others might not measure up.


"You want your sister to develop in the entertainment industry, right? If you let me have this song, I can guarantee that my company will sign her and give her full support!" Chu Qingci continued, determined to get the song.


"Signing with Chu Qingci’s company and getting full support for Xiao Ling?" Ye Chui’s eyes lit up. This would surely make Ye Ling an instant star. But "Ningxia" was meant for her, and he wouldn’t change that. He then remembered an idea he had recently.


He said, "Miss Chu, I don’t want to give 'Ningxia' to anyone else, but I do have another good song that I could sell to you."


"What song?" Chu Qingci asked.


She wasn’t very interested, as such good songs were rare. "Ningxia" was a gem.


"This song will definitely satisfy you," Ye Chui said with a faint smile. "It’s called 'Love Transactions.'"


"Love Transactions?" Chu Qingci repeated the straightforward name.


Ye Chui nodded. "Yes, 'Love Transactions.' I’ve heard your songs and believe your voice will suit this one perfectly. Would you like me to sing a bit for you now?"


"Well… okay," Chu Qingci agreed. The name didn’t intrigue her, but since Ye Chui offered to sing it, she was curious.


Ye Chui cleared his throat and began to sing—


"Sell my love, forced me to leave, when I finally knew the truth, tears fell down my cheeks, sell my love, you carry a debt of conscience, no matter how much emotion you pay, you can’t buy it back..."


The song’s catchy lyrics and melody didn’t require much vocal skill but were incredibly engaging.


Initially skeptical, Chu Qingci’s eyes widened in surprise.


This song was really good too.


"Love is not something you can buy, not something you can sell. Let me go, let me understand, let go of your love!"


At the climax, Fang Xi couldn’t help but sing along, completely entranced by the song’s charm.


Even Chu Qingci found herself quietly humming along.


After Ye Chui finished singing, he asked with a smile, "What do you think of this song?"


Chu Qingci, known for her soft ballads and dubbed the Queen of Love Songs, immediately agreed, "Great, I’ll sing 'Love Transactions'!"
