Li Qian heard this and smiled, nodding his head, saying: "Good!"

  Then he also pulled a chair from the dinner table, sat in a triangular shape with Liao Liao and Qi Jie, and said: "Let's have an equal exchange first, what do you want to say, say it!"

  Actually, he could guess what Liao Liao was going to say roughly.

  "Come to think of it, Liao Liao hesitated for a moment and said: "Do you know how against the heavens you are? Of course, I don't mean anything else. I know you have those two big books, and I also know that they definitely aren't something you accumulated in one or two days. To be honest, I think if someone has that kind of idea, it's really stupid. But... you're really too against the heavens, do you know? You're only seventeen years old, and everyone knows you're only seventeen years old. From a young age to now, you've basically never left home, but you, a seventeen-year-old high school student, actually wrote 'Obsession' and 'My Hometown in My Heart', not to mention that now you've come out with another one called 'Farewell'. Do you know how many people's faces you're slapping?"

  Li Qian heard the words and fell silent for a moment, first nodding his head, then smiling: "I didn't hit many people's faces, did I? I never wanted to compare with anyone, nor did anyone ask me to compare. What's the point of hitting someone's face?"

  Actually, Liao Liao's meaning is very clear: Li Qian, at such a young age and with such a simple experience and resume, has written so many songs that are not suitable for someone of his age and experience. This will inevitably lead to suspicion about the origin of these works, and it will also make many proud people feel resentful.

  No matter which circle you are in, predecessors who are jealous of others' progress are not uncommon, but those with narrow minds and cannot bear to see others stronger than themselves have never been rare either. And they won't let you off just because of your modesty!

  Moreover, Li Qian's body still has such an obvious loophole to grasp!

  Age and experience are the easiest things about him that make people question his character!

  At the beginning, after selling those five works to Liao Liao, Li Qian also had such concerns in his heart. According to his original plan, he was going to follow his own plan step by step. In the first few years, he would first bring out works like "Seventeen-Year-Old Rain Season", and then gradually release more works as he grew older. So after Liao Liao took away those five songs, Li Qian also asked himself in his heart: Was it too hasty?

  But later he understood!

  At the age of seventeen, this kind of vulnerability is a huge loophole, but... what's the big deal?

  Do I have to wait until I'm fifty years old to bring out "Farewell"? Must I run a trip to the Loess Plateau in order to bring out "Loess Plateau" and "Letter to Heaven"? Do I have to go to Moscow before I can write "A Night on the Outskirts of Moscow"?

  So, with his own appearance and the relatively smooth development path he will have in the future, how should he interpret the song "I'm Ugly But I'm Gentle"? He grew up in the city since childhood, so how should he interpret the national anthem "Bitter Sweet Years"? Shouldn't it be that only women can write songs like "Woman Flower" and "A Woman Afraid of Darkness"? Is it necessary to wait until Li Zongsheng's age to write "Beyond the Hills"? Would writing "Fake Monk" and "Nothing at All" as a Five Good Youth also make people feel too unbelievable? If he doesn't go to Taipei, should the song "Winter in Taipei, Come See the Rain" never appear in his lifetime?

  Stop it!

  I love writing whatever I want, taking out whichever one I feel like, and whoever wants to question it can just go ahead and question away!

  What can you do to me?

  For example, "Farewell", not to mention the melody, just talking about the lyrics, this kind of bleak and sorrowful little poem, is simply a state of mind that makes one feel despondent and downcast, how could it possibly be written by a 17-year-old kid?

  But I've written it, what can you do about it?

  Plagiarism? Then I'd like you to find out who I plagiarized from.

  Ghostwriting? Who would be so foolish as to write a work that could be sung for decades, or even possibly become immortal, and then give it away to someone else, content to remain behind the scenes without seeking fame or fortune? With Li Qian's background and social status, what qualifications does he have to make someone with such talent willingly offer up their masterpiece?

  Even if this song is a plagiarism or ghostwriting, what about the other songs? So many songs, how much effort did Li Qian put in to find someone to ghostwrite for him? —— All of Li Qian's works are the essence of an entire era, condensed from countless people's blood and sweat over thirty years or even longer, selected from the best of the best!

  So... if you want someone to guess that I'm a time-traveler, then go ahead and guess!

  It is said that when a person becomes famous, there are many rumors and controversies. Li Qian knew this. Even if he didn't release any songs himself and only worked behind the scenes, his name might not have been noticed by music fans for a long time. However, just with the few songs he wrote for Liao Liao, it was enough to make him famous within the music industry to some extent, which is also a kind of fame.

  Otherwise, Hua Ge wouldn't have willingly scrapped the new album that Wu Xing Yu Su had already produced halfway because of his own addition. And He Runqing didn't need to go through Cao Yun to get one of his works, and even resorted to asking for a favor? —— In the end, isn't this just fame?

  Since it's red, there's no way to avoid right and wrong!

  At the age of seventeen, writing "Farewell" is indeed suspicious, but writing "Wildflowers", "Persistence" and "Unfinished Love" is reasonable? At this age, to be honest, even "Let's Row Together" is absolutely a masterpiece beyond one's years!

  No one is stupid, no matter how you will have all sorts of explanations in the future, others will still be suspicious if they should be!

  So, I won't bother with it anymore, I'll write whatever I want, and I'll write whichever song I feel like!

  Time passed and my works are all here, one after another, each with extremely high quality, and every single one is a hit... What else do you want to doubt?

  As soon as one understands this, his mind will be enlightened.

  Of course, these ideas were impossible for Li Qian to share with Liao Liao, or anyone else.

  So at this time, when Liao Liao was somewhat excited to speak again: "Isn't this still not considered slapping someone in the face? Yes, you haven't targeted anyone before, but as soon as you bring out this song 《送别》... can you imagine? No one dares to say it's bad, as long as they have some understanding of music and literary accomplishment. However, imagine a large group of famous lyricists and composers in the industry, even old men, who must praise this song when asked about it... You're just a young kid, don't you think there will be people who will have an adverse reaction to you?"

  Li Qian heard this and smiled, saying: "Of course there is, and maybe it's not just some people, but many people!" After a pause, he said: "But then what should I do? Write something and hide it, afraid that others will know? To avoid being accused of plagiarism or ghostwriting?"

  Liao Liao was speechless upon hearing this.

  Yes, like the song "Farewell", no matter when you bring it out, it's obviously envied by others.

  Li Qian smiled and said lightly: "Let them go!"

  Qijie listened to the conversation for a while and roughly understood what they were talking about. She thought that Li Qian must have come up with another brilliant work - she had been listening to Li Qian's songs since he was unknown, and after finding out that those songs were his original creations, she was surprised, but after the surprise wore off, all that was left in her heart was boundless admiration. She felt that teaching a student like Li Qian made her entire life worthwhile, and as for Li Qian being able to produce such excellent works, she had long been completely immune to it.

  At this time, she thought for a moment and said: "Not being envied by others is a mediocre talent!"

  Liao Liao thought for a moment, nodded and shook his head with a smile, saying: "It seems I was thinking too much. This time coming over, I originally thought one of my tasks was to remind you not to take the gossip from outsiders too seriously in the future, but now it looks like you don't need me to remind you at all!"

  She couldn't help but stare at Li Qian again, asking anxiously: "Hey, speaking of which... although I know it's pointless to ask, I still can't help but ask, are you really human?! Do you have to be so against the heavens?!"

  Li Qian smiled and said: "If you really think I'm a fox fairy or something, then so be it!"

  Liao rolled her eyes.

  She paused for a moment, then said: "The album you made for Wu Suo's Five Elements, I've been listening to it for several days now. Although there are some songs I don't like, but I also know that this album is going to be a huge hit! Hmm...". She stared straight at Li Qian, "Five such beautiful girls, tell me, did you get any extra benefits?"

  This time Li Qian subconsciously wanted to roll his eyes!

  "Hey, I gave you five songs, didn't I make you famous? Shouldn't you be grateful? Then shouldn't you give me some extra benefits?"

  Liao Liao pointed at Li Qian and said to Qi Jie: "Look what kind of student you've taught!"

  Qijie rolled her eyes and said, "You're speaking nonsense!"

  She paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at Li Qian and said: "However... you really don't seem like a seventeen-year-old boy!"

  Liao Liao suddenly felt like he had found a kindred spirit and couldn't help but quip: "Right, right, at his age, shouldn't a boy be shy and hesitant? Shouldn't he be hesitant to even confess when he meets a girl he likes? But look at you, where's the shyness of a seventeen-year-old boy?"

  This time it wasn't just Li Qian himself, everyone burst out laughing.

  After laughing, Li Qian finally spoke up and said: "Right, we've also eaten, so speak up, what's the real reason you came here?"

  Qijie also turned her head to look at Liao Liao.

  I fell asleep halfway through writing and woke up with a keyboard imprint on my face! And I thought what I wrote last night was terrible, so I rewrote it from scratch! (.)
