The Journey to Godhood in Another World

Chapter 106 New Year’s Eve Party

Outside the window, the warm winter sun shone down, casting a golden glow on the campus paths. Inside the classroom, the students were still enthusiastically discussing the content of the professional course that had just ended when Luo Li's phone suddenly rang.

"Ah Li, it's me, Song Hui." On the other end of the phone, Song Hui's voice was filled with urgency and excitement. "I just received an invitation from Shanghai TV station. They want you to participate in their New Year's Eve gala! This is a fantastic opportunity, do you want to accept?"

Luo Li was slightly taken aback, a multitude of thoughts flashing through her mind. She pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Sister Hui, do they have any requirements for the song?"

"There aren't any special requirements this time, but since it's an important occasion like a New Year's Eve gala, we still need to carefully consider the song selection. What are your thoughts?"

Song Hui's tone was full of anticipation, as if she had already decided in her heart that Luo Li would agree.

Luo Li's fingers tapped lightly on the desk unconsciously, a hint of determination in her eyes: "Sure, Sister Hui, please say yes!"

She thought to herself that the New Year's Eve party was a festive occasion, and the audience wanted to welcome the new year in a joyful atmosphere. She had to choose a cheerful song to liven up the atmosphere.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Li sat in the classroom, the laughter and chatter of her classmates seeming to fade away as she pondered the choice of song.

Various melodies kept echoing in her mind, and suddenly, a cheerful song that perfectly matched the New Year's Eve atmosphere appeared in her heart.

"This is it!" Luo Li suddenly stood up, her eyes shining. Ignoring the strange looks from her classmates, she hurriedly packed her bag and walked quickly toward the recording studio in her new home.

Pushing open the door, familiar equipment and a warm atmosphere rushed towards her. At that moment, Luo Li felt as if she had returned to her safe haven, feeling completely at ease.

Soon, Luo Li devoted herself wholeheartedly to recording the song's accompaniment.

Her gaze was focused and determined. She swayed her body slightly to the rhythm of the music, humming the melody from time to time, carefully adjusting the strength and timbre of each note.

Every subtle movement reveals her dedication and love for music—a pursuit that runs deep in her bones, as if music is her entire life.

During the recording, Luo Li sometimes frowned, as if she was thinking about how to handle a certain detail; at other times, she relaxed her brows and showed a satisfied smile, as if she was very satisfied with the recording she had just completed.

After several hours of intense recording, the project was finally completed. Luo Li took off her headphones, let out a long sigh, and her face showed a tired but satisfied expression.

"Luo Li, you've finished recording!" Song Hui greeted her with a friendly smile.

“Just a little more practice recently will do,” Luo Li said to Song Hui, her tone relaxed.

Song Hui smiled and nodded: "Recently, because of the New Year's Eve party, many companies have come to buy the rights to your songs, wanting to perform them at the party."

Almost all the popular songs of the past six months are related to you. You're truly amazing!

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Li's eyes. "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

"Who would complain about making more money?" Song Hui joked with a smile.

Luo Li chuckled softly: "Hmm, I'd be so happy if this New Year's Eve party turned into my song appreciation event."

Her smile was like the warm winter sun, warm and bright, and her eyes revealed boundless hope for the future.

Luo Li asked curiously, "By the way, which singers will be performing my songs at the gala?"

Song Hui took out a list and read aloud: "Cen Shen's 'Spring Never Ends in Patriotism,' Nicole's 'Maybe We'll Meet Again in the Next Life,' Hu Xike's 'Fortune Telling,' Liu Xi's 'Chasing the Light,' Papaya Girl's 'Nobody,' and Jing Luo's 'Dangerous Party' have all been invited to perform at other local TV stations' New Year's Eve galas."

Furthermore, other songs of yours have been covered by other singers. Ke Shiyin was invited to participate in the New Year's Eve gala on Kyoto TV, and Shanghai TV invited Yang Xingchen from our company, as well as you and Lu Jinchen.

Huaxi Entertainment really really shone in this New Year's Eve gala!

As Luo Li listened, a surge of inexplicable emotion welled up within her. Seeing these outstanding songs from her past life shining brightly on stages across the world filled her with immense joy and pride.

In the days that followed, Luo Li practiced diligently in the recording studio every day.

She repeated the song over and over again, constantly adjusting her breathing, vocalization, and emotional expression.

During each practice session, she felt as if she were in a secluded paradise, completely immersed in the world of music.

In the recording studio, soft lights shone on her, and everything around her became quiet and peaceful.

Luo Li closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and began to hum softly. Her voice, like heavenly music, flowed gently through the air, full of captivating charm.

As the song progressed, her emotions gradually rose, and the expressions on her face became richer and more vivid.

At times, it is tender and affectionate, as if telling a moving story; at other times, it is passionate and stirring, allowing people to feel the power deep within their hearts.

Finally, the day of the New Year's Eve party arrived. Luo Li arrived at the venue early, where the backstage area was bustling with activity.

Makeup artists and stylists quickly created an exquisite and glamorous stage look for her.

She wore a long dress that shimmered with starlight, her hair was styled in a high bun, and her makeup was elegant and noble, making her look like a fairy descended from heaven.

In the waiting room, Luo Li sat quietly in a corner, casually flipping through the program list, waiting for the other guests to arrive.

Before long, steady and rhythmic footsteps approached. Luo Li looked up and saw Lu Jinchen walking in with confident strides.

He wore a fitted black suit, which made his figure appear even taller and more slender. His deep-set features were made even more handsome by his exquisite makeup, especially his eyes, which were like cold stars twinkling in the night sky, deep and bright, exuding an innate stage presence.

"Luo Li, have you been waiting long?" Lu Jinchen's voice was deep and magnetic, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, carrying a faint smile, as if it had a calming power.

Luo Li gently shook her head and returned a faint smile: "No, I just arrived not long ago."

As the two were talking, a clear voice came from the doorway: "Oh, everyone's here!"

Luo Li and Lu Jinchen looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yang Xingchen striding in.

He wore a white embroidered shirt with the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing his tanned, muscular forearms, paired with black straight-leg trousers—simple yet stylish. A bright smile graced his face, and his almond-shaped eyes crinkled when he laughed, seemingly holding countless stars, instantly inspiring a sense of closeness.

"We've been waiting for you, Brother Chen," Lu Jinchen said with a smile.

Yang Xingchen scratched his head, revealing a set of white teeth: "There was a bit of traffic on the way, but luckily I wasn't late." As he spoke, he walked over to Luo Li and sat down naturally, exuding a faint fragrance of cologne.

The three looked at each other and smiled, a tacit understanding flowing quietly between them.

Their performances were scheduled to be in quick succession, and all were placed during prime time at the gala. This was undoubtedly a rare opportunity and a sign of trust, which made them even more excited and focused on this performance.

At this moment, they could faintly hear the enthusiastic voice of the host on the stage outside and the cheers and applause from the audience. The sound was like a surging tide, wave after wave, constantly impacting their eardrums and stirring up their deep longing and nervousness for the stage.

Suddenly, the host's enthusiastic voice came through the speakers clearly: "Next, please enjoy Lu Jinchen's performance!"

Lu Jinchen took a deep breath and slowly stood up. He straightened his back, adjusted his collar again, and then walked steadily and firmly toward the stage.

Luo Li and Yang Xingchen's eyes followed Lu Jinchen's retreating figure closely, their eyes filled with encouragement and blessings.

They knew that Lu Jinchen was about to step onto his battlefield and shine, and they silently cheered themselves on, looking forward to the moment they would take the stage.
