Chapter 35: Two Tone Deaf People
Chapter 35: Two Tone-Deaf Stars
Han Zhi has been a fan of Chen Jingqing for ten years. It’s fair to say that Chen Jingqing’s songs defined Han Zhi’s entire youth, and his composition style has been heavily influenced by Chen Jingqing.
What Han Zhi never expected was that Chen Jingqing actually knew who he was.
Chen Jingqing said, "I know you, the original singer of ’Wasted Time.’"
’Wasted Time’ was the song that took Han Zhi by storm all those years ago, becoming a nationwide sensation.
"You wrote ’Wasted Time’ well, and your voice is remarkable. Why haven’t I seen you release any more songs?" When Chen Jingqing first heard ’Wasted Time,’ he was immediately captivated by Han Zhi’s extraordinary voice—a natural gift from the heavens. When Han Zhi sang, his voice seemed ethereal, silent yet powerful. It was this voice that made Chen Jingqing pay special attention to Han Zhi and fully appreciate the emotions embedded in ’Wasted Time.’
The song itself was outstanding, with a delicate and lingering melody that carried a force touching the soul. Back then, Chen Jingqing had even curiously looked up the credits for ’Wasted Time’ and discovered that both the lyrics and composition were by Han Zhi. He had thought that Han Zhi’s future potential was limitless, imagining he could go very far in the music industry.
Yet Han Zhi disappeared like a flower that blooms for only a fleeting moment. After ’Wasted Time,’ Chen Jingqing never heard anything about him again.
Assuming Han Zhi had left the industry due to some personal issue, he always felt it was a great pity. So now, he casually brought it up, but he immediately caught the fleeting look of sorrow in Han Zhi’s eyes. Without waiting for Han Zhi to reply, he cleverly changed the subject. "I heard the show has prepared a fun music challenge today. When does it start?"
The two tone-deaf movie stars exchanged glances and looked bewildered.
