Chapter 506 - Fatal Attraction



Chapter 506: Fatal Attraction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Among all the beautiful and famous artistes, Bai Murong was especially good-looking.

Xia Ling looked at his sharp face. After not seeing him for a long time, he still had phoenix eyes, thin lips, and a faint smile. Any random standing position looked like he was posing for a famous photographer. He looked impeccable.

No wonder he was the prince in the dreams of thousands of fans.

That attractive prince walked towards Xia Ling. “Aren’t you going to smile after seeing me? Xiao Ling, you’re still the same. You’re still cold and have not changed at all.”

Xia Ling said, “I sell art, not smiles.”

However, Bai Murong laughed out loudly. “Are you still angry? It’s normal that Uncle Zhao and Sister Lu are a little unhappy because of the impromptu change. Moreover, this person will be singing with me on the same stage. Now, time is tight, and the difficulty of the song is high. You don’t know how many are anxious and how many others are waiting to see our joke.”

“Give it to me.”

“What?”

“The sheet music.”

Startled, Bai Murong turned around before handing Xia Ling a music score. “Don’t force yourself. Although the song can’t be changed, you can always reduce your part. Anyway, many lines are sung by your partner. If you can’t sing them, you can just sing less.”

Xia Ling looked down at the score. It was his recently famous title track “Powerful Opponent.” It was really difficult. However, that was to an ordinary person. To Xia Ling who had sung difficult songs skillfully for ten years in her past life and had a perfect voice again in this life, this music score was...

Not very difficult. The vocal range was not as high as her past life and not as complicated as the songs she sang in her past life. She could handle the song with ease.

She quietly looked at the music score a few times before returning it to Bai Murong.

Bai Murong was somewhat startled. “Are you finished?”

“I’m finished.”

He was in disbelief. “Sing a few lines.”

Xia Ling looked at him and sang the song from the beginning to the end. Her tone was melodious, and her voice was like heaven.

Bai Murong stared at her like he was looking at an alien. After a moment, he whistled and smiled. “I’ve underestimated you. No wonder the company insisted that you be my partner. Zhou Yijie lost fair and square this time.”

Xia Ling remembered Zhou Yijie’s manager’s angry expression. Zhou Yijie must not be very happy as well.

Looking at Xia Ling’s expression, Bai Murong guessed what she was thinking about and laughed lazily. “Feeling guilty? Don’t worry. The company never treats anyone poorly during these sorts of impromptu replacements. She will definitely be compensated with a better job.”

That was the bare minimum. In reality, Li Lei and she both agreed that they would compensate her with not just a job. Xia Ling said, “I’m not feeling guilty.”

Bai Murong snickered and did not say anything else.

He rehearsed with Xia Ling several times until the time was up. Then, he took the lead and appeared on stage first.

They were supposed to be a pair, but because he was a superstar helping a small celebrity, there were already unwritten rules in place by the organizers. The superstar was supposed to sing a song on stage first. After that, the pair would appear. Then, the superstar would sing alone again. If they won two out of three rounds, they would win. Many small stars just walked on stage for a few moments for an easy win.

Xia Ling stayed backstage for styling and heard the enormous cheers from the crowd.

Sister Mai Na and Zhao Zhengcheng came to see her. Zhao Zhengcheng said, “Xiao Ling, don’t be nervous. Just sing as usual. Don’t become stressed because you’re Murong’s partner.”

Xia Ling, who was being styled, faintly said, “I’m not stressed.” She understood what he meant. He was afraid that her singing would affect Bai Murong’s reputation. For her, he had no expectations and only wanted to avoid any problems in the future.

Unfortunately, he thought wrong. The one who was stressed may not be her. Instead, it might be Bai Murong.

When Xia Ling went on stage, the lights changed, and she was dazzling.

Bai Murong wore a white long-sleeve shirt with a slanted satin sash. The glass earring on his left ear sparkled. Following the music, he reached his hand out to her. There was a natural smile on his face like a prince from a mythical legend. He was devilishly seductive. This made the crowd scream louder than before.

Xia Ling slipped and leaned on his arm as she walked in front of the stage. She slightly raised her head and let the light shine on her face.

“Ye Xingling! It’s Ye Xingling!” Below the stage, voices rang sporadically.

She had not appeared on stage for a long time. Even though she was all over the news during this time, it was all due to scandals and nothing to do with her music career. After being pregnant for a year, her popularity really decreased.

Bai Murong’s charming voice was heard. “From the very start, we were doomed. There are no winners or losers in this game. You played the game of love but changed as frequently as the weather. We’d separate and meet again, hoping for an eternity...”

As he sang, the screaming became crazy. Numerous people shouted Bai Murong’s name. In a flash, they immediately covered the sporadic shouts of “Ye Xingling.” She could not help but admit that Bai Murong was a very influential singer. On the stage, he was amazingly powerful, seductive and persuasive. He was like a whirlpool that sucked everything in.

If another singer were standing on the same stage as him, they could only be in his shadow. However, today, he was standing beside Xia Ling.

Xia Ling did not care about who was the main act. When she was on stage, there was only one goal which was to sing to the best of her ability. Since this song was called “Powerful Opponent,” she had to sing it with great emotion. Furthermore, her stage presence was better than his.

She lifted the microphone. Her voice was light like she was walking through a thick fog. “From the very beginning, this game had no end. You used love as a weapon and gentleness as an act. What was real, or what was fake? A painstaking effort...”

It was a different style from his, another type of fatal attraction.

The audience was quiet for a moment. “Ye Xingling!” “Ye Xingling!” The screams erupted again.

Bai Murong tilted her head and looked at her. He smiled deeply, and he increased his singing volume. “When you’ve met your match in a game. You’re destined to be entangled in a mess...”

Xia Ling also looked at him. The lights rotated around them, and the screams were getting louder and louder. “Maybe I’m just thinking of being with you. Maybe I want to face it all with you. To the point of no return...”

His voice became higher. “To the point of no return. Caught in a complicated trap...”

Her voice echoed into the distance. “Without regret, no matter what our fate is...”

His smile became more dangerously seductive, and his voice became more fascinating. There was something thrilling and breathtaking about the way he sang. No wonder he was the best male singer in the past two years and was famous for being the dream lover of his fans. The strength that broke out during his performance was something that most singers would never be able to achieve in their lifetimes.

When they sang together on the same stage, it was a collaboration as much as it was a competition. Often, at this time, singers would have an intuitive feeling about the singing of their partners that was stronger than what the audience felt.

As Xia Ling sang, her mind drifted away. Bai Murong was extremely hypnotic, and there seemed to be some sort of sexual tension between them. They felt as if they could create a world of their own.

In the past, why did she not realize that Bai Murong had such a profound appearance?
