Chapter 199 You don’t have a system too, do you?

Xia Anruo looked through the news for a while and confirmed that this was true. She was a little bit unbelievable: "I didn't expect there would be such a big earthquake."

I originally thought it was just a small earthquake of magnitude 4.2, but who would have thought it was just foreplay and the bigger one was yet to come.

"It's a good thing I didn't let you go, otherwise I don't dare to think about the consequences." Chu Ze watched the news and was glad that he insisted on letting Xia Anruo come back.

An earthquake of this magnitude affected almost the entire province. If Xia An really went there, it would be hard to say whether he could come back safely.

"You're right." Xia Anruo also felt fortunate that she listened to Chu Ze and did not insist on her own ideas.

It was the mutual trust between them that enabled them to successfully avoid this catastrophe.

Otherwise, I would be like the heroines in those melodramatic TV dramas: I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen. I would probably be buried in the ground now.

"Am I powerful?" Chu Ze hugged Xia Anruo and turned into a boy seeking credit.

Xia Anruo did not refute, leaning in his arms and praising him: "Great, when did my Aze change his career to fortune-telling?"

"I can't tell fortunes, but we are connected by heart, and my intuition tells me that you can't go if there is danger, which means that God doesn't want to break up our marriage." Chu Ze scratched Xia Anruo's snow-white cheek with his fingers and smiled, "Hey, do you think I am your savior?"

"Then I can only repay your kindness by tying a grass knot in my next life." Upon hearing this, Xia Anruo deliberately stood up straight, imitating the ladies from ancient costume dramas, and said in a delicate voice.

"No need to tie grass in the next life, just give grass in this life." Chu Ze smiled and pounced on him.

……

Soon, various news reports came out on the Internet and on television. The disaster situation was not optimistic. Countless houses and buildings collapsed, traffic was paralyzed, and many people were displaced.

When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. As soon as the news came out, people from all walks of life immediately responded and extended a helping hand to Sichuan Province.

The entertainment industry naturally also spontaneously organized charity donation activities with charitable foundations.

Of course Xia Anruo received the invitation.

"How much do you want to donate?" Chu Ze asked.

"How much do you think is appropriate?" Xia Anruo couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Given Xia Anruo's status and financial resources, it would be difficult to explain if he donated too little, and he would probably be scolded to death.

After all, in the eyes of the public, celebrities can earn a million or eight hundred thousand just by singing a song, and tens of millions by endorsing an endorsement.

An ordinary person cannot earn what a celebrity earns in one day in his entire life.

Do you understand the value of Shuangzi’s daily income of 208 million?
Therefore, if you donate less than this kind of income, it would be unacceptable.

If one earns such a high income but does not shoulder social responsibilities and actively do something to give back to society, the public will definitely not stand it.

Robbing the rich to help the poor has been a practice since ancient times.

You make all the money, but you are reluctant to donate a penny when it's your turn to donate. Although this may seem like moral kidnapping and donating money is not an obligation, most people do think this way.

"Including my share, let's say 20 million." Chu Ze also considered it.

In the past, Chu Ze was so poor that he couldn't even support himself, so apart from being asked to donate voluntarily at school, he rarely donated on his own initiative.

They finally have money and ability in this life. Twenty million is not a lot for Chu Ze and Xia Anruo, so Chu Ze naturally wants to do his best to help.

"Okay." Xia Anruo certainly wouldn't refuse.

Xia Anruo acted quickly and donated 20 million to the foundation in the name of himself and Tu Dou that day.

At the same time, celebrities from all walks of life also posted their donations on Weibo.

So many netizens began to count the donation amounts of major celebrities. Most of them donated one million, some donated two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand, and the ones that donated a little more did not exceed five million.

Then some curious netizens discovered: Why is there no donation from An Ruo?
Because An Ruo’s Weibo has not posted any donation news or statements so far.

If some small stars didn’t donate, people might not notice it, but with a fame like Xia Anruo, everyone is watching her every move.

When others see this, they will think, your compatriots are in trouble, and you, such a big star, why don’t you donate?

The grandson of his eldest uncle's second uncle who lives next door and is in elementary school was asked by the teacher to donate one hundred yuan. How dare you do that?
At one time, many righteous armies began to raise their banners to attack An Ruo:
"You usually make the hot search list for trivial things, why don't you say anything now when I need you?"

"He's so popular and so active in making money, why is he gone when it comes to donating money?"

"You can make millions just by singing a song, but now you don't even want to donate?"

"If you post a microblog to pray for the disaster area, I will consider it as your effort."

"I'm so disappointed. I like you so much."

"Fans still praise her as a diva, is this all?"

"The song is good, but the person is not."

"Talented but without moral integrity!"

An Ruo's reputation was damaged in an instant and she became the target of public criticism.

Fans naturally also tried their best to protect:

"Donation is voluntary and not mandatory. Why do you ask An Ruo to donate?"

“Have you donated yourselves? How dare you ask others to donate.”

"Can you please just die? Moral blackmail is fun, right?"

"Maybe An Ruo has already donated it, but just hasn't sent it out yet?"

Someone immediately retorted: "She didn't send it out after the donation. She didn't want such a good publicity opportunity. Is she stupid or am I stupid?"

"Don't try to clean up after the fans. This is the character of your idol. He is selfish."

The two sides have been arguing for a long time, but the haters are standing on the moral high ground, the fans' rebuttals are empty and powerless, and the comments are basically one-sided. Fans can only hold on and hope that An Ru will give an explanation.

However, not long after, before Anruo's statement could be received, an insider of the foundation suddenly revealed the transfer receipt that showed Xia Anruo had already donated 20 million yuan.

Now all the haters were silent instantly.

"What is a good deed? This is a good deed. They donated 20 million without saying a word."

"Fuck, An Ru is awesome. She donated so much secretly."

"Doing good deeds without leaving a name behind is the real way to do good deeds, unlike some celebrities who have to show off their donations of hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"That's right, this is a real donation. Those celebrities are just putting on a show. It's disgusting."

The public opinion suddenly reversed. The harsher the criticism was before, the harsher the praise was now.

This fully demonstrates the characteristics of Internet fence-sitters.

The news that Xia Anruo donated 20 million yuan quickly became a hot topic. The focus of the original criticism of Xia Anruo has now shifted to some celebrities who are very famous but donated very little.

The comments of those celebrities who donated hundreds of thousands of yuan were full of curses:
"Such a big star, who normally makes hundreds of millions, donates only 200,000 when it comes to donations. Is that right?"

"You can tell the character of these stars from just one donation. Look at An Ruo, she donated 20 million yuan. What about you? You turned from a fan to a hater."

"The pay for one episode of a TV series is over a million, and you are not willing to donate even one episode's pay." "You are so stingy, bah."

"Although donations are voluntary, it's disappointing that you make so much money and only donate so little when you are really needed."

Under all the criticism, many artists were scared and later donated another one million to barely calm the criticism.

But the lost popularity and passerby appeal are definitely irrecoverable. On the contrary, Xia Anruo's reputation has improved significantly because of this incident.

……

night.

Chu Ze looked at the heart-wrenching reports in the news in front of the computer and sighed.

Although the rescue was quick, some tragedies are unavoidable.

Xia Anruo walked in with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and put it on the table.

Chu Ze picked it up and took a sip, then suddenly said, "I suddenly wanted to write a song, maybe it's suitable for the current situation."

"What song?" Xia Anruo asked curiously.

Chu Ze did not say the title of the song, but took out a pen and paper from the drawer, and wrote down the complete lyrics of the song on the manuscript paper in a short while.

Xia Anruo was stunned watching from the side.

Although Chu Ze wrote so many songs for her, they were all already written when he gave them to her. Thinking back, this was the first time in such a long time that she saw Chu Ze writing a song in front of her.

I originally thought that Chu Ze was fast in giving her a song in three or four days, but I didn't expect that I had underestimated his song-writing speed. It took less than ten minutes from the time he said he wanted to write a song to the time he finished writing it.

If other songwriters knew your speed, they would probably jump off the building.

"Have you always written songs so fast before?" Xia Anruo asked in disbelief.

"Oh, this is just a sudden inspiration. In fact, I already had this song in my mind before. Normally, it would take me a few days to polish it." Chu Ze turned around and saw Xia Anruo's astonished expression. He realized that he was being too pretentious and made up an excuse to cover it up.

"Really? I always feel that the way you write songs is similar to the reborn protagonists in those online novels. Do you have a system too?" Xia Anruo looked suspicious.

She inadvertently deduced the truth.

"Hahaha, you've discovered this. Yes, I'm a reborn person." Chu Ze was sweating profusely and deliberately spoke the truth in a joking tone.

Xia Anruo really didn't believe it: "Come on, it's too embarrassing for a reborn person to end up like you."

"..."

Chu Ze was speechless.

Stop cursing, stop cursing. Who said that you can’t be a bad person after being reborn?

"If I were really a reborn person, and I copied all these songs, would you still like me now?" Chu Ze suddenly thought of this question.

If it weren't for rebirth, I would never be able to reach the pinnacle of beauty like Xia Anruo in several lifetimes.

"You don't think I like you because of your talent, do you?" Xia Anruo looked strange when he heard that.

"So it's because of her looks?" Chu Ze was overjoyed.

"Well... okay, maybe it's because of talent." Xia Anruo stared at Chu Ze for a long time and changed her words.

Chu Ze: "..."

God, it makes me happy for a moment.

"This kind of question is meaningless. Attracting someone may only require a very simple reason, but falling in love with someone is very complicated and multifaceted," Xia Anruo explained.

After saying that, Xia Anruo came to Chu Ze, picked up the manuscript on the table and took a look. Although she had long been numb to Chu Ze's amazing songs, she still exclaimed when she saw the lyrics of this song: "As expected of you! The lyrics are well written. Is it an inspirational song?"

"Yes, aren't the people in the disaster-stricken areas lacking such an inspiring song now?" Chu Ze nodded.

"Are you writing this for the disaster area?" Xia Anruo looked surprised. She obviously didn't expect Chu Ze to have such an intention.

"I can't just sit there and watch my compatriots suffer, right? Besides donating money, I can only do something as insignificant as this." Chu Ze shrugged, "Now help me with the score."

Xia Anruo nodded, her eyes moving, and she was somewhat moved by Chu Ze's words.

As Chu Ze sang, Xia Anruo wrote the music score with a pen. The two of them had already cooperated very skillfully, and in a short while, the score was finished.

"You can sing this song." Chu Ze said.

"Give it to me?" Xia Anruo was slightly stunned.

"Nonsense, who else should I give it to if not you?" Chu Ze said with a smile.

"Aren't you going to use this song to promote new artists?"

Chu Ze shook his head: "There is no shortage of songs to promote new artists. I still want to sing this song for you. Please record it as soon as possible."

"Okay." Xia Anruo pursed her lips. They were an old married couple, so they didn't need to be pretentious. She accepted the song and thought of something else. "By the way, what's the name of this song?"

"invisible Wings."

……

A few days later, Xia Anruo’s Weibo announced that her new song “Invisible Wings” was officially released on all platforms, with the caption: “I dedicate this song to everyone in the disaster area.”

Needless to say, Xia Anruo's song was very popular. It topped the charts within two hours of its release. Countless fans and passers-by flocked to the comment section after listening to the song.

"I cried after listening to this song. This song is so inspiring, but why did it make me feel so sad?"

"Don't give up, hold on, everyone has invisible wings."

"Wandering in loneliness, being strong, constantly hurt, there is a pair of invisible wings giving me hope. An Ruo sang this song to remind everyone affected by the disaster not to give up hope for life and hope for the future."

"Come on, fellow Sichuanese, we all have invisible wings! We will definitely get through this!"

"An Ruo not only donated money, but also wrote a song to inspire the victims. She is so sincere. I cried to death~"

"How can there be such kind people in this world!"

"This is what it means to be talented and virtuous, with both virtue and art!"

Xia Anruo's song "Invisible Wings" took the country by storm again just a few days after its release. It was played in the streets and even during rescue and reconstruction efforts.

Although numerous supplies have been provided as aid from all walks of life, the loss of homes and loved ones, the experience of the shadow of death, and the confusion and despair about the future cannot be dispelled so easily.

It just so happened that Xia Anruo's song "Invisible Wings" expressed the voice of the people in the disaster-stricken areas, and inspired countless people who were hurt by the earthquake to step out of the shadows, and became the spiritual pillar of many people.

While this song is so popular, people have discovered that the song "Invisible Wings" is free on all major platforms and is not paid.

Although free does not mean no money, at least everyone who listens to this song does not need to spend money, and that is enough.

This move undoubtedly won everyone's favor.

An Ruo did show with her actions that she really wanted to inspire everyone with this song.
