Just Blame Me For Being Blind in the Beginning

He scolds people just as handsomely as three years ago.

After she finished filming the high heel advertisement, Pei Yings next project was recording a new song.

Chen Sheng sought out a song for her called Blooming. The lyricist and composer were both famous in the music industry. The song had a very j-pop feel to it, but the arranger went with a piano accompaniment, so it sounded very graceful and relaxing.

The lyrics to the song were also very beautiful, using the imagery of a blooming flower to represent a persons maturation.

If there was anything to pick at with the song, it would be that it was very difficult to sing.

Why did she have to go up against a final boss like Qiao Yichen with such a difficult task??

Pei Ying was listless by the time she finished learning the song. Her singing didnt even seem satisfactory to herself, let alone Qiao Yichen.

But her appointment at the recording studio wasnt going to wait for her. Once again, she stood outside the doors to the recording studio and felt If hell scold her, let it be! She could handle it!

She knocked on the closed door and someone quickly opened it for her. When the person saw her, his eyes glistened. With a smile, he greeted, Ms Pei, hello. Im the audio engineer.

Pei Ying courteously nodded to him. Hello.

The audio engineer turned and politely invited her inside. Boss Qiaos already arrived.

As she heard these words, Pei Yings eyes landed on a tall figure.

Qiao Yichen was wearing a black suit, and he seemed exactly the same as he did three years ago.

Mm Except for the fact that hed gotten married.

Last year, news suddenly came out that Qiao Yichen had secretly gotten married to singer Ding Meng. Pei Ying was shocked. Shed been witness to the couples tyrannical exchanges on Weibo.

But since Qiao Yichen had gotten married, his temper should have gotten a little better Right?

Mr Qiao, hello.

She smiled at him and gave a short greeting. Qiao Yichen simply nodded and asked, Did you learn the song yet?

Ive learned it

Then head into the recording room.

Okay Pei Ying braced herself and headed into the room.

The piano intro sounded and at the right beat, Pei Ying started singing, In the season where everything withers, you and I have become insincere

Stop. The first time that Qiao Yichen stopped her, he said, Is your voice so dried out because all the nutrients went into your legs?

Pei Ying,

In his head, the audio engineer spat in contempt at Qiao Yichen. His expression was so indifferent, but hed secretly taken note of her legs?

Do it again, Qiao Yichen commanded. The intro sounded played once more. This time, Pei Ying seemed to have adjusted her voice properly. But before she could take a second breath, she was stopped at the same spot.

Hearing Qiao Yichens Stop, caused her heart to tremble.

Standing outside, Qiao Yichen watched her with his arms crossed. What have you been doing for three years? I only agreed to work on this because Chen Sheng said youd improved a lot from back then.

Pei Ying was a bit embarrassed by what hed said. In truth, shed really improved a lot from three years ago. Its just that Qiao Yichen was too repressive and very easily put pressure onto the singer. She bit her lip, a bit concerned. You still remember three years ago?

Of course. Your performance three years ago left a very lasting memory that I dont think Ill ever forget.

Pei Ying,

Who was the one who left an impression that the other would never forget?!

After spending all the time theyd reserved at the recording studio, Pei Yings performance still hadnt received Qiao Yichens acknowledgement. She realized bitterly that even though The Great Producer Qiao had gotten married, his temper hadnt changed a single bit.

Song Nanchuan finished a bit early at work, so he headed to GuangChen Studio to wait for her. When he saw Pei Ying leave the recording studio listlessly, he frowned. Whats wrong?

Pei Ying raised her eyes and looked at him, but still didnt speak. Qiao Yichen followed her out and said, If your performance is going to continue like this tomorrow, you dont have to show up.

Pei Ying,

Theyd already finished for the day, but he still had to stab a knife into her.

Hearing Qiao Yichens words, Song Nanchuan turned to look at him. Hed heard of Qiao Yichen before. He was responsible for cultivating this generations new music empress, Ding Meng.

Along with his musical talent, he was also known for his ability to scold singers to tears.

When he thought of this, Song Nanchuan took Pei Yings shoulders and shot a smile at Qiao Yichen. Then he said to Pei Ying, Dont go then. Were not singing. Come home and Ill support you.

Qiao Yichen gave him a sideways glance and sneered. I hope you can keep your word. Youd be saving the music world some trouble.

Pei Ying,

Even when she was down, another knife came.

After he spoke, Qiao Yichen walked away without turning back. Song Nanchuan didnt care about him anymore. He just lowered his head to comfort Pei Ying. Dont take his words to heart. I heard that he even scolds his wife like this.

Pei Ying indistinctly nodded. He scolds people just as handsomely as three years ago.

Song Nanchuan,

Enough of that. Forget about him. Song Nanchuan pulled Pei Ying out. What should we have for dinner? Eating something good will liven your spirits.

Pei Ying felt that this was reasonable. A bit expectantly, she looked at him and said, I want to go to the aquarium. Can we?

Aquiarium?

Mm!

After he followed Pei Ying to a large seafood shop, Song Nanchuan finally understood what shed meant by aquarium.

He chuckled. Pei Ying ordered a bunch of seafood and then the two of them sat down at a table to wait for their food.

Youve never been to this kind of place before, right? Pei Ying sat across from him. Shanshan and I come here all the time to eat. Although the place doesnt look like much, the seafood is delicious!

Song Nanchuan nodded. As long as you like it.

Haha, Pei Ying laughed. She pulled out her phone, wanting to take advantage of the waiting time to play her game a bit, but then she found that she couldnt connect to the shops Wi-Fi.

Whats wrong? Song Nanchuan couldnt help asking when he saw her brows furrow at her phone.

Oh, I cant connect to the wireless. Was she going to have to use her mobile data to play?

Song Nanchuan pulled out his phone and told her, Connect to my network.

Pei Ying looked at him suspiciously, How do I do that?

If I turn on a hotspot, you can connect. Song Nanchuan fiddled with his phone a moment and then said, Okay.

Pei Ying found him on her wireless networks and blinked. Im going to play games. Itll use a lot of data.

Song Nanchuan couldnt help laughing. I have a lot of data. The phone company gave me a whole bunch, enough to use through my next life.

Pei Ying,

He must have been exaggerating.

But since he said that, she relaxed and connected to his network. The game you sent me all those diamonds in has been having a lot of promotions recently. I dont usually have the time to play, so Ive been buying a lot of things with the diamonds. I even bought the diamond set that I couldnt bear to buy before. Several thousand diamonds gone at once She sighed. At this rate, Ill use up all 200 thousand diamonds in no time. Its almost criminal how much things cost!

When youre out, Ill just send you some more.

No way! Youll lose your family fortune like that!

Song Nanchuan laughed again and reached out to pinch her cheek. Its not that easy for my family fortune to be lost.

Just as they were speaking, their food arrived. Pei Ying swallowed several scallops and then started peeling shrimp. All the seafood at this shop is caught the day of, so its especially fresh.

As she spoke, she gave the shrimp shed just peeled to Song Nanchuan. He froze for a moment, and then his lips curved up.

Hurry and try it! Pei Ying watched expectantly. As Song Nanchuan ate, he raised his brow. It really is pretty good.

Yeah. Pei Ying smiled happily, and then she peeled a few more shrimp for him.

Song Nanchuan smiled and moved the shrimp back to her bowl. You should eat some more. I can peel them myself.

Its okay. I eat seafood a lot, so Ive gotten really good at peeling shrimp. Im very fast.

Still, Song Nanchuan smiled and returned her shrimp. Actually, Im pretty good at peeling seafood myself. Why dont I give it a try?

As he spoke, he picked up a crab leg and started twisting it. Then he pulled out an entirely intact piece of crab meat.

Wow.

Pei Ying gave a sigh of admiration and Song Nanchuan raised his brow, pleased. He brought the crab meat over. For you.

Thank you~

A young man sitting at the table across from them blinked his eyes, unable to watch any longer. Its just eating a bit of seafood. Do you really have to put on such a display of affection?! Seriously no sense of civility at all!

Ah ah ah, Pei Ying and Song Nanchuan! A girl whod just entered the shop saw Pei Yings table and couldnt help crying out excitedly.

Pei Ying was startled by the sudden noise. Song Nanchuan glanced over to the door and frowned slightly.

After the girls cry, a lot of people seemed to be recognizing Pei Ying. Song Nanchuan asked the owner to pack up their food to go, and then he grabbed Pei Ying and rushed out.

Sitting in the car, Pei Ying finally started to come to her senses. People recognize me now?

Song Nanchuan laughed lightly. Well, weve made the headlines a few times now already.

Does that mean I cant come to this place to eat anymore?

Song Nanchuan rubbed her head. As you get more famous, of course you wont have the same kind of freedoms you used to.

Although Pei Ying had wished for many years to become famous, hearing Song Nanchuan say this, she couldnt help feeling down.

Song Nanchuan comforted her, Silly girl. In the future, you can just have someone deliver the food to you. How can you be afraid of starving when you have money?

Pei Ying,

She felt that the presidents words were quite insightful!

The driver sent them back to Song Nanchuans mansion, and then the two of them warmed up the food and resumed eating. Perhaps because she was happy from eating, Pei Ying suddenly said, Chuan Chuan, let me sing you a song! Then you can tell me whether its as bad as Qiao Yichen says!

Song Nanchuan nodded, his eyes carrying a hint of a smile. Okay.

Pei Ying took a deep breath and then started to sing. In the season where everything withers, you and I have become insincere

After she finished singing the entirety of Blooming, Song Nanchuan praised, You sang really well.

Pei Ying asked, Do you really think that? Or is it because Im your girlfriend that youre saying I sing well?

Song Nanchuan stood up and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. Trust me. You sang really well.

Song Nanchuans words werent just to flatter her. Pei Yings tone was really quite good and her voice was very recognizable. Her singing just lacked a certain maturity. But in front of Qiao Yichen, all her faults would be magnified.

Pei Ying raised her eyes to look at Song Nanchuan, right in front of her. Quietly, she said, I sounded better when I was practicing than when I was in the recording studio. When I saw Qiao Yichen, I just got nervous. Then she encouraged herself, Tomorrow, Ill definitely sing better!

Song Nanchuans brows twitched. You still have to go tomorrow?

Of course. Pei Ying nodded. Actually, I quite like Qiao Yichen. My ringtone, Girl in the Sea was performed by him.

Song Nanchuans lips curved as he looked silently at her.

Unaware, Pei Ying continued, I really like this song a lot. In the past, Id had the thought that if someone proposed to me while playing this song on the violin, I would definitely say yes!

With a slight bit of force, Song Nanchuan grabbed her and picked her up. Pei Ying exclaimed in surprise, What are you doing?

There are some things I want to talk to you about.

Cant we talk down here?

No. Song Nanchuan lowered his head and raised his lips into a smile. I like talking in bed.
