Chapter 81 Why are you...crying? (Please order first!)
With Xia Anruo and Xu Ya’s albums already online, this war without the smoke of gunpowder has officially begun!

By the early morning of the next day, Xu Ya's song "Under the Starlight" had successfully topped the new song chart, followed by the second hit "The Only Gift" in second place, and the third place was still Xu Ya's "Falling Flowers".

The top three spots on the new song list were taken by Xu Ya alone.

As for Xia Anruo, the title song "The First Dream" reached fifth place, and "Young and Promising" and "The Wind Rises" also made it into the top ten, ranking seventh and eighth respectively.

Logically speaking, it had only been one day, so Xia Anruo's result could be considered quite good.

But with Xu Ya's three songs at the top, and everyone knowing that you are competing against each other, this result is a bit disappointing.

The next day, the next day...

The momentum of Xia Anruo's new album topping the charts has gradually slowed down.

"The First Dream" was stuck at fourth place and couldn't move up. "Young and Promising" and "The Wind Rises" followed closely behind in fifth and sixth place.

Xu Ya's three songs still firmly sit in the top three, like three huge mountains, pressing down on Xia Anruo and preventing her from making any progress.

"The New Songs Chart has already been decided, and the battle between Xu Ya and An Ruo may have already been decided!"

"Xu Ya's new songs took the top three spots, An Ruo was unable to take the top spot, and the strength of the veteran singers is undisputed!"

Xu Ya looked at the news headlines on her phone, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Although the quality of Xia Anruo's three new songs was beyond her expectations, her experience as a veteran first-line singer was not so easy to surpass. She knew very well that -

Xia Anruo is no match for her now!
Suddenly, the phone rang.

Xu Ya saw that it was Zheng Lei calling, so she swiped the screen and answered the phone.

"Congratulations on the success of your new album." Zheng Lei's hearty laughter rang out from the other end of the phone.

"Are you calling just to congratulate me?" Xu Ya said.

"Why, is it not possible? How does it feel to finally have An Ru under your feet?" Zheng Lei said with a smile.

"It's just expected. How can she jump around when I'm targeting her?" Xu Ya was not excited at all.

It would be strange if she couldn't suppress Xia Anruo with her popularity.

Moreover, crushing Xia Anruo's top spot in the new album would only be a slight blow to her at most. What she needs is Xia Anruo's disgrace.

Only in this way can she vent her anger.

"You said this, I can only say that you are worthy of it."

"Okay, you called me because of something, right? If you have something to say, just say it."

As an old friend, Xu Ya knew that Zheng Lei was not the kind of person who would call specifically for small talk, so she got straight to the point and asked.

"I have just arranged for a reporter from Oriental TV to come and interview you." Zheng Lei said.

"Interview?"

"Yes, it's about your new album, so you should go back to the company later."

“When is the interview?”

"Two o'clock in the afternoon."

"So urgent?" Xu Ya looked at the time. It was ten o'clock in the morning.

"Although you are now ahead of Xia Anruo on the new song chart, you still shouldn't take it lightly. I will arrange a few more promotional activities for you in the next few days, so you can't slack off." Zheng Lei explained.

"What? Could it be that Xia Anruo can still make some waves now?" Xu Ya frowned. She didn't take Xia Anruo seriously.

Even with such a strong momentum when it was first released, she still couldn't surpass her. What else can she do next?
"It's hard to say. There are countless cases of people making a comeback and becoming the superior ones. We don't know what other tricks they have. We should be on the safe side. Besides, the gap between An Ruo and you is not that big." Zheng Lei was more cautious this time.

Wasn’t it she who fought back in the end when we hired internet trolls to slander Xia Anruo last time?
Even if the dragon hits your face, you will lose. You have to defend yourself.

Only by further widening the gap between the two can we ensure that there will be no crash in the end.

"Okay, I understand." Xu Ya was not an arrogant woman, so she did not object to Zheng Lei's arrangement.

In the bedroom, Xu Xin was lying on the bed in her pajamas, with the door ajar. The soundproofing was not very good, and the voice of Xu Ya on the phone in the living room could be clearly heard across the room.

Listening to the conversation between Xu Ya and Zheng Lei, Xu Xin took out his mobile phone and opened the music charts. Sure enough, he saw that Xu Ya's three songs occupied the top three positions.

She hadn't listened to her sister's new song yet, so she curiously put on her headphones and clicked on the first song to listen. As the melody sounded, Xu Ya's unique voice came out, and she quickly immersed herself in the song.

Xu Xin could clearly feel that Xu Ya's singing skills had improved a lot compared to before.

He performed very well in several difficult areas.

As expected of my elder sister, you have always been so outstanding.

If she were to sing, there's no way she could sing so smoothly...

If my throat isn't damaged, maybe...

Thinking of this, Xu Xin laughed at himself, shook his head, and put these messy thoughts behind him.

It's been so long why are you still thinking about these unrealistic things?

It’s time to let go…

She closed her eyes with a wry smile, leaned her head back against the headboard, and continued to listen quietly. When one song ended, the playlist automatically switched to the second one, which was still as excellent and beautiful.

Before I knew it, Xu Ya's three songs had finished playing.

Xu Xin opened her eyes with a lingering feeling and was about to pause when the playlist automatically switched to the fourth song...

The prelude sounded slowly, and the beautiful melody made Xu Xin's fingers pause as they were about to press the pause button.

While she was hesitating, the prelude ended soon, and then Xia Anruo's long-lost and familiar voice sounded:

“If pride is not coldly slapped down by the sea of ​​reality.”

"How can you understand how hard you have to work to get far?"

Just the first sentence made Xu Xin stunned for a moment.

This lyrics...

She slowly put down her hand that was in front of the screen and let the progress bar move forward little by little. As the lyrics were sung by Xia Anruo's angelic voice, it was as if she was telling Xu Xin's personal experience. Every word of the lyrics was like a sharp sword piercing her heart.

"Hold the original dream tightly in your hands."

"How can I turn back halfway when I want to go to the place I want to go to the most?"

“The original dream will definitely be achieved.”

“Only when you realize your true desire can you be considered to have reached heaven.”

When the chorus started, Xu Xin froze in place as if she was suffocating.

"How can I turn back halfway when I want to go to the place I want to go to the most..."

Xu Xin silently recited one of the lyrics with a dull look in her eyes, feeling as if her heart was hit by a heavy hammer.

Before I knew it, the song was over.

This time, Xu Xin did not continue to switch songs from the list as he did before, but his fingers unconsciously played the song over and over again.

Until at some point, there was a creak, the door was gently pushed open, and Xu Ya walked in.

"Xinxin, the weather outside is nice, do you want to go out for a walk..."

Xu Ya had just said half of her words when she saw her sister sitting on the bed, staring at her phone. Then she saw the expression on Xu Xin's face and she was stunned.

"Ah? Sister."

Xu Xin came back to her senses when she heard Xu Ya's voice. She turned around and saw Xu Ya looking at her in surprise.

"Xinxin, why are you...crying?"
