Chapter 314 Songs with High Sugar Content
Chapter 314 Songs with High Sugar Content
The car slowly drove into the underground parking garage of the residential complex.
Shen Yuege parked the car, took out a folding wheelchair from the trunk, unfolded it, and pushed it to the passenger side door.
Lu Ran moved from her seat to her wheelchair, her movements becoming even more practiced than last week.
"Slow down." Shen Yuege held his arm and only let go after he was seated steadily.
"I'm practically a wheelchair expert now," Lu Ran patted the armrest of his wheelchair. "If the company goes bankrupt, I can even get a wheelchair driver's license."
Shen Yuege rolled her eyes at him: "What nonsense are you talking about so late at night?"
She pushed the wheelchair toward the elevator. The underground parking garage was dimly lit, and the two people's shadows were stretched long on the ground.
As the elevator ascended, Shen Yuege glanced at the floor numbers scrolling through the screen and suddenly spoke up: "By the way, what time are you going to the studio tomorrow morning? Master Wang said the arrangement for 'Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies' is finished, and he wants you to go listen to it."
Lu Ran leaned back in his wheelchair, thought for a moment, and said, "I won't go tomorrow."
Shen Yuege was taken aback: "Not going?"
"Okay." Lu Ran nodded. "We won't be recording songs tomorrow. I have other things to do."
"What is it?" Shen Yuege asked, somewhat surprised.
During this period, Lu Ran was incredibly focused on recording songs, doing one song a day without fail, ignoring even Zhou Mingzhe's advice to take a break. His sudden announcement that he wasn't going caught her off guard.
The elevator doors opened, and Shen Yuege pushed him out of the elevator, stopped at the door, and took out her keys to open the door.
"Let's go inside and talk," Lu Ran said.
The door opened, and Shen Yuege pushed him inside. He changed his shoes and then pushed the wheelchair to the living room.
Lu Ran pushed the wheelchair to the sofa herself, moved onto the sofa by holding onto the armrests, and carefully placed her right leg on the footstool.
Shen Yuege went to the kitchen, poured two glasses of water, and sat down next to him.
"Speak, what is it?" She handed him the water glass, "You're being so mysterious."
Lu Ran took the water glass, took a sip, put it on the coffee table, and turned to look at her.
Shen Yuege felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze: "What are you doing?"
"Moon Song," Lu Ran said, "I want to write an album for you first."
Shen Yuege stopped holding the water glass.
She looked at Lu Ran, thinking she had misheard: "What did you say?"
"I'll write an album for you." Lu Ran repeated, his tone calm but his eyes serious. "These past few days, I've been busy recording my own songs, working on League of Legends, and negotiating with Tencent. You've taken care of me, cooked for me, driven me to the company, accompanied me to the recording studio, and kept an eye on the post-Super Girl competition at the studio. I've seen it all."
Shen Yuege opened her mouth, as if to say something, but Lu Ran didn't give her the chance.
"You said you didn't need anything in return, that you did it willingly. I know. But I want to write songs for you, not because I want to repay you, but because I want to." He looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "You're my wife, who else would I write songs for if not you?"
Shen Yuege's lips moved slightly, and her eyes reddened.
"I released that album because I wanted to leave those good songs for the world. But writing an album for you is because I genuinely hope your career will get better and better, and I also hope that our paths can go further and further." Lu Ran paused, "These two things are different."
"But right now, I feel that writing a song for you is the more important thing." Lu Ran's eyes were very firm.
Shen Yuege lowered her head, her fingers gently stroking the inside of the cup, and remained silent for a long time.
The living room was quiet, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall.
Lu Ran didn't urge her; he leaned back on the sofa and waited quietly.
After a while, Shen Yuege raised her head, looked at him, and her eyes shone.
"Lu Ran," her voice was a little hoarse, "did you do this on purpose?"
"What do you mean, intentional?"
"You said those things on purpose, deliberately trying to make me cry." She sniffed, then smiled. "I'm telling you, I won't cry."
As soon as she finished speaking, tears began to fall.
Lu Ran looked at her and couldn't help but laugh: "You still say you won't cry?"
"It's water," Shen Yuege wiped away her tears, stubbornly insisting, "Something got in my eye."
"Okay, water." Lu Ran didn't expose her, and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. "So, will you accept this album or not?"
"I'll accept it." Shen Yuege said with a hint of arrogance, "Why wouldn't I accept a song you wrote?"
Lu Ran smiled: "Then it's settled. I won't go record my song tomorrow; I'll start writing yours."
Shen Yuege looked at him and suddenly asked, "What kind of song are you planning to write?"
What kind of song?
Lu Ran hadn't decided what to write at first, but along the way, he seemed to have figured it out.
"Those with a higher sugar content."
"Sugar content?"
"It's just sweet," Lu Ran said. "I think this world still needs some sweet romance to embellish it. We're husband and wife, so let's set an example."
Shen Yuege laughed and said, "You wish! From what you're saying, the song you're going to write this time is going to be a duet, isn't it?"
"Yes, duet songs," Lu Ran said. "Not only is the next song a duet, but the whole album I'm planning to write for you is full of duet songs, all about sweet love stories."
He paused, then said, "Besides, the songs I wrote for you before, while nice, were all on the sentimental side. This time, we can change the style, something sweeter, something upbeat. We can also change the labels attached to you, making you a well-rounded singer."
As Shen Yuege listened, her eyes slowly brightened.
"Actually," she hesitated for a moment, "I also have a few melodies that I've been wanting you to take a look at. But you've been too busy lately, with recovering from your injury and recording songs, so I haven't had the heart to say anything."
Lu Ran was somewhat surprised: "You wrote this?"
"Hmm." Shen Yuege nodded. "It's just some fragments, not a complete song. I hummed them when I was bored at home, and I thought they sounded pretty good, so I wrote them down. But I'm not very good at composing, and I don't know how to develop them into a complete song."
Lu Ran looked at her and suddenly smiled.
"That's perfect," he said. "Let's start writing together tomorrow. You provide your melodies, and I'll help you with the arrangement and lyrics. This album will be a collaboration between the two of us."
Shen Yuege was taken aback: "Me too?"
"Of course," Lu Ran said matter-of-factly. "If you don't participate in your album, who will? It's outdated to have me write the songs and you sing them. This time it's different. This time you write, I write, and we write together."
Shen Yuege stared at him for several seconds, then nodded vigorously.
"Okay," she said. "Then I'll tidy up my melody tomorrow and bring it to you."
"No rush," Lu Ran smiled. "Tonight is fine too."
Shen Yuege glared at him: "It's so late at night, you're not sleeping but I am. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
She stood up, took the water glass away, walked to the kitchen door, stopped, and looked back at him.
"Lu Ran".
"Um?"
"Thank you."
Lu Ran leaned back on the sofa and laughed, "What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for thinking of me," she said softly. "Thank you... for including me in your plans."
Lu Ran looked at her and said seriously, "You were always in my plan. It wasn't something I just put in now; you've always been there."
Shen Yuege bit her lip, turned around, and quickly walked into the kitchen.
The tap was turned on, and the sound of running water was loud and clear.
Lu Ran sat on the sofa, listening to that voice, and couldn't help but smile.
After a while, Shen Yuege came out of the kitchen, her eyes were still a little red, but her expression had returned to normal.
"You should take a bath," she said. "I'll run the water for you."
"it is good."
Shen Yuege went into the bathroom, and soon the sound of water could be heard. Lu Ran stood up, supporting himself on the handrail, and limped towards the bathroom. His right leg still couldn't bear much weight, but it was much better than last week; at least he could walk a few steps on his own.
Shen Yuege came out of the bathroom and saw him slowly moving along the wall, so she quickly came over to support him.
"Didn't I say I'd help you up?"
"I can walk by myself," Lu Ran said. "The doctor said I should move around appropriately and not sit for too long."
"This isn't how you do events." Shen Yuege helped him into the bathroom. "You go in first, I'll get you some clothes."
Lu Ran slowly took off his clothes in the bathroom and sat on the bathroom stool—this was a plastic stool that Shen Yuege had bought for him specially. It had a handrail and was placed under the shower head so that he could sit and take a shower.
Water poured down from above, the warm water trickling down my cheeks.
Lu Ran closed his eyes, his mind starting to wander to Shen Yuege's album.
Songs with high sugar content.
He recalled those saccharine love songs from his past life.
Some of those songs are suitable for boys to sing, some are suitable for girls to sing, and some are suitable for duets.
Shen Yuege's voice is warm, and she has a natural affinity when singing sweet songs. She doesn't need too many techniques; sincerity is enough.
After thinking about it, he decided to write a duet as his first song.
He sang a duet with Shen Yuege.
Since their relationship is already public, they should openly sing love songs as a duet.
There's no need to shy away from it or hide it; it just feels more natural.
Lu Ran even felt that fans must have been looking forward to his duet with Shen Yuege for a long time.
Moreover, there has always been a market demand for love song duets.
There are only a few classic duet songs, and listeners are already tired of them.
If a new, catchy duet love song were to emerge, it would have a wide audience.
However, for the first song, let's listen to what Shen Yuege's melody is like.
If possible, the first song should ideally be a melody she composed herself.
