House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 305 – The Most Special Song

Just as Yang Yi was telling the story of “Ice Age 1” to the two little girls, Ju Jie was in Guangzhou recording the program “Music Fast Fast Fast”. The format was similar to that of Mo Fei, but this time he became the main guest.

With Ju Jie’s outgoing personality, he performed well in variety shows. He enjoyed playing games such as table tennis and guessing games, and has a high appearance rate, leaving a deep impression on the two hosts, Chen Hang and Liu Xinqi

“So, I heard that this time, Ju Jie, you brought us your new song, right?” Finally, getting to the main point, Chen Hang asked with a smile.

“That’s right, it’s a very sad song. Hey, I suggest the director to get two packs of tissue for Sister Xinqi first. I’m afraid she’ll be moved to tears and her makeup will be ruined!” With just one sentence, Ju Jie interacted with Liu Xinqi and the director offstage. The camera switched back and forth, and his funny guy image made people somewhat unable to help but smile.

It had to be said that that under the arrangement of the company before, Ju Jie participated in many variety shows and even worked as a small host, which has honed his entertainment sense.

As a variety show host, Liu Xinqi still liked such guests very much. They were easy to work with and could catch any jokes thrown at them.

“Ju Jie, I’ve been thinking, what kind of stimulation did you experience before that made you so quick-witted as you are now?” Liu Xinqi couldn’t help but smile.

“Ah, well, men, who doesn’t have a few unforgettable past experiences? When I sing this song next, you’ll probably understand!” Ju Jie began to act deep, but he always couldn’t do it well, revealing obvious flaws, but this made the audience laugh even harder.

“Okay, next, let’s welcome Ju Jie to bring us his upcoming original single. Uh, I won’t introduce the name of this song, let him sing it for everyone to hear!” Liu Xinqi smiled and pointed at Ju Jie, then went down with Chen Hang and gave the stage to Ju Jie.

The accompaniment from the backstage sound system sounded, and the unique tone of the flute immediately lifted the audience’s spirits. The melodious sound of the woodwind instruments infused the song with a touch of melancholy. Although it has not been sung yet, the faint, sad tone has been set.

Ju Jie, who was wearing brown sunglasses and had a small tuft of beard on his chin, raised the microphone. He put on a melancholic expression and sang in his restrained and hoarse voice.

“Although I didn’t say it, I had a premonition long ago. The fact that I can’t give you happiness now is my biggest helplessness…”

The first few lines were relatively normal. Although Ju Jie’s singing skills were average and his tone lacked highlights, the most important thing for a catchy song was to have clear pronunciation and let the audience understand the lyrics, right?

The audience understood that Ju Jie was singing about his failed relationship.

However, the scenes described in these lyrics were very familiar, and the audiences who have experienced the end of their relationship could all empathize with it, and the sadness in their hearts arose naturally.

“I face your confession with silence, the past happiness all vanished into thin air…” It was very sad, just like the helplessness experienced during a breakup. The audience felt their emotions being suppressed, as if waiting for an explosion.

They weren’t mistaken. With a rapid beating of a series of drums, the suppressed emotions finally erupted.

“Finally, you became someone else’s mistress, and I know it’s not because of love…”

Ju Jie sang with a powerful and intense voice, truly delivering the emotions, but the audience was stunned, completely forgetting to savor the song.

Wait a minute, mistress??

The audience exchanged puzzled looks, finding it somewhat unbelievable. Was this for real? The girlfriend became someone else’s mistress?

But shouldn’t such things be kept secret and hidden from others?

Why was Ju Jie singing about it so openly?

Chen Hang and Liu Xinqi below the stage also smiled bitterly. The audience’s expressions of bewilderment were exactly the same as their reactions when they first heard this song.

However, the director next to them was very excited. He felt that once this song came out, it would definitely trigger a lot of discussions, and whether it was praise or criticism, all the firepower would be focused on Ju Jie, but the popularity would be shared with “Music Fast Fast Fast”!

“Finally, you became someone else’s mistress, and I am no longer your harbor. When you lean on his chest, have you forgotten the love I once gave you…”

Ju Jie on stage was still singing with an intoxicated expression on his face, his left hand clenched against his chest, and his sad expression made some female audience members feel sorry for him.

This feeling was very subtle. They should have found the song repulsive, but because of Ju Jie’s somewhat handsome appearance and the pained emotion he displayed, the maternal instincts of these female audience members were stirred.

They felt like comforting and caring for him.

After the song was finished, the whole place was silent. Everyone was so shocked that they forgot to applaud.

“Cough, I think those who are not applauding now are the audience who understand me, who understand this song, who are kind and don’t want to hurt me, right?” Ju Jie didn’t wait for the hosts to come up and began to resolve this awkwardness on his own.

His words made the audience all burst into laughter and immediately applauded loudly.

“Thank you, Ju Jie, for giving our audience such a high evaluation, and thank you for bringing us this new song. Indeed, the song is true to its name, ‘Mistress’…” Chen Hang said, unable to help but laugh. “This is really a special song.”

“Chen Hang is right, it’s very special. It’s the most special song I’ve ever heard in my life. I want to ask Ju Jie, did you really write this song?” Liu Xinqi asked the question on many people’s minds. “Of course, I’m not questioning the copyright of this song, I just think that it would be difficult for a man to make these things public, right?”

Although Ju Jie was unwilling to admit it, he still followed Du Lun’s request and awkwardly smiled and said, “I wrote it, inspired by my feelings, inspired by my feelings.”

Not being straightforward about it actually added a sense of mystery and attracted more attention.

“So, let’s ask another very gossipy question, is this ‘Mistress’ of yours written about another singer from your company?” Liu Xinqi pursued.

“Huh? Who?” Ju Jie asked in surprise.

“Who? Are there many?” Ju Jie’s answer made the audience’s thoughts run wild.

There were indeed quite a few…

With his wealth and background, those girls from Tianmei who haven’t debuted or haven’t gained much fame after their debut naturally have a strong preference for him. Ju Jie, also at a young and reckless age, naturally talked about several relationships with these girls who came to visit him. However, whether he was serious or not, these relationships did not last long…

“It’s the one previously exposed by the media, Mo Fei, right?” Liu Xinqi laughed. Today, they were determined to dig up all the gossip!

Ju Jie was not very prepared for this question. Thinking of Mo Fei’s current popularity in the company, he honestly said, “Of course it was not written for Sister Mo Fei. The previous report was wrong. The company has clarified that it was some unscrupulous media maliciously hyping it up.”

After finishing this sentence, both the director offstage and Du Lun in the audience showed disappointed expressions.

After the recording of the show, Du Lun closed the door of the dressing room and began to complain, “A’Jie, why did you deny your relationship with Mo Fei?”

“Because it was never true in the first place! Wasn’t that hype your idea before, did you forget?” Ju Jie said naturally, “And now Sister Mo Fei is so popular, if I add chaos to her, my aunt will kill me!”

Du Lun said with disappointment1The phrase “恨铁不成钢” (hèn tiě bù chéng gāng) is a Chinese idiom that literally translates to “to hate iron for not becoming steel.” It is used to express frustration or disappointment with someone who falls short of one’s expectations or potential., “Then you shouldn’t have clarified it directly! Now that Mo Fei is so popular, you can be a little vague and let those media guess, and then you can take advantage of her popularity! I tell you, if you take advantage of it, you will really become popular, even if you clarify it later, it doesn’t matter!”

“Hmm… Oh, right, why didn’t I think of that?” Ju Jie patted his head and looked annoyed.

“Forget it, since you’ve already said it, we can’t ask the program group to re-record it. Let’s see how your single performs after it is released first!” Du Lun sighed, he was really tired of dealing with such a rich second generation.
