July concluded with Ting Yu's spectacular achievements.
This month, Ting Yu's "Lan Ting Xu" dominated the ancient style charts.
He then followed up with ten plaza dance hits, directly occupying the top ten spots on the plaza dance charts.
Such a record was beyond exaggeration.
Ting Yu's moniker, "Auntie Harvester," was now firmly established.
As people discussed the current city competition, they also began to wonder about the next one and what style Ting Yu would adopt.
As everyone knew, Ting Yu's style was the absence of style.
As the city competition progressed, he systematically defeated a host of "unique skill" players.
And his achievements became increasingly outrageous.
He almost made Hu Yang bald with his Vietnamese performance, and this time, by releasing ten plaza dance hits, he directly pushed the plaza dance experts out of the top ten rankings.
At this point, people gradually began to believe that he truly "knew a little" about everything.
"The next round is the final 'unique skill' player in the city competition. Before, I would always worry that Ting Yu would be stubborn, but this time I'm not worried at all..."
"Not only am I not worried, but I'm also worried for Ting Yu's opponent, worried that Ting Yu might go too hard and cause another major scene."
"Haha, that's so true!"
"Are you guys that confident? Xu Ming's Erhu is his signature skill. Ting Yu's Suona might not be able to beat him."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. I hope you have the same attitude towards your own life."
"Yes, yes, yes. Ting Yu might not be able to beat him."
"He's making a move, let's make a compilation too!"
"Haha, are Ting Yu's fans this calm now? They don't even go through the usual motions, just chilling?"
A certain elder named Lu once said that fans are a reflection of their idols.
Ting Yu had always been someone who remained unfazed, indifferent to criticism, never refuting it, and instead proving them wrong with his strength.
As his fans, they had also learned something from him.
Regarding others' doubts and criticisms.
Ting Yu's fans were now incredibly Zen, completely laid-back.
Because they knew that arguing was useless; all they needed to do was wait for Ting Yu to prove them wrong.

After helping his mother and her plaza dance troupe with the choreography for their songs, Su Yu and Lin Yanyu stayed with them for two more days before returning to the villa.
The day after the songs were released, the Plaza Dance Association had already approached Xinghui to purchase the plaza dance copyrights for these songs, so that other plaza dance troupes who liked them could also perform them.
Su Yu had initially intended to hold off on releasing the plaza dance copyrights for these ten songs, allowing his mother's group to dance to them for a while.
However, Zhang Guizhi felt that many of the people who danced plaza dances were his fans, and doing so would be unfair.
Ultimately, Su Yu agreed to the copyright release through Xinghui.
Upon returning to the villa.
Lin Yanyu took out her phone, eager to go grocery shopping and showcase her newly learned cooking skills.
Su Yu offered to help but was refused by her.
"I learned a new dish. Go to your room and stay there. No peeking."
Lin Yanyu said, pushing Su Yu into the room.
Su Yu had no choice but to comply.
Some people just don't like anyone watching them cook.
Since there was nothing else to do.
It was time to customize the song for the next round.
Su Yu's chosen keyword this time was Suona.
He possessed master-level Suona skills, so he wouldn't need to spend money to customize skills.
There were quite a few good songs that featured the Suona.
And many were very distinctive.
For instance, there was the band "Second Hand Rose," whose fans were peculiar in their taste. Many of their songs had a Suona presence.
However, the band's individual style was too prominent. If the style wasn't right, even a singer with strong foundational skills couldn't capture that essence.
Zhao Zhicheng leaned towards a light rap style.
Su Yu happened to remember a song that would suit him perfectly.
"System, customize 'Xi' for me."
【Ding, successfully customized 'Xi' for the host. It has been automatically placed in the system warehouse and thirty million has been donated to the charity fund for the host.】
After releasing a batch of down-to-earth plaza dance hits, it was time for something different, something that touched upon the underworld.
This song also had a backstory.
And it was quite controversial.
The first backstory proposed that the man in the song was a bully who had stolen Wang Er Gou's childhood sweetheart. This kind of story design was too common and lacked a certain depth.
The second was the background story of a ghost marriage. In this version, the man and woman in the song were childhood sweethearts. Interpreting it as a ghost marriage and then listening to the lyrics, the song's depth instantly increased by more than a notch.
Su Yu intended to use the second story for this song, the ghost marriage.
After customization.
Su Yu directly asked the system to send the song components to Zhao Zhicheng.
Along with the backstory, so he could familiarize himself with it.
Zhao Zhicheng, upon receiving the new song, thanked Su Yu profusely.
He had initially thought he was just there to fill a spot, but to his surprise, Su Yu had chosen him when only three rounds remained.
In the past few days, he had also posted a ten-thousand-word essay on Weibo thanking Su Yu.
There was no other way. Gong Juren had set the precedent, and other singers felt restless if they didn't post thank-you essays.
However, achieving the quality of Gong Juren's ten-thousand-word essay was as distant as the stars. Zhao Zhicheng had to rack his brains just to meet the word count. Although his essay was moving, his choice of words and phrasing still couldn't compare to Xiao Gong's.
...
"Su Su, come out for dinner!"
Just as he finished customizing.
Lin Yanyu's voice came from outside.
Su Yu got up and left the room.
When he arrived at the dining table, he saw that Spicy Fish had been prepared.
"You've learned to cook fish already?" Su Yu was genuinely surprised.
Was the little fairy already becoming a贤妻良母 (good wife and loving mother)...
"Hehe, am I amazing? Go wash your hands and then come and eat," Lin Yanyu said with full pride.
She had rolled up her sleeves, revealing two fair, jade-like arms. She wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand.
This dish was still a bit challenging for her.
However, the smile on her face conveyed deep happiness.
Su Yu looked at her smiling face and felt a warmth in his heart. "Alright."
After washing his hands.
Lin Yanyu had already served him rice.
Su Yu took the chopsticks she handed him and picked up a piece of fish.
Because it had just come out of the pot, it was a little hot.
He blew on it a couple of times before putting it in his mouth.
"How is it?"
Lin Yanyu rested her elbows on the table, cupping her face with both hands, her expression full of anticipation.
"Delicious." Su Yu raised an eyebrow and nodded.
He wasn't lying; it was indeed delicious.
The fish was tender, melted in his mouth, and the fishy odor was well-controlled.
"Really?" Lin Yanyu's face lit up like a flower.
"Of course. You eat too," Su Yu said to her.
Lin Yanyu shook her head, her red lips parting slightly. "Ah... feed me."
"Alright," Su Yu smiled, reaching out to pick up a piece of fish belly without any small bones.
He fed it to Lin Yanyu's mouth.
...
"More."
"Okay."
"Ah, it fell out. I want more. Move it in a bit."
"Don't move around, or you'll poke your throat..."
"Oh, okay, ah..."
"Open your mouth wider, it's hard to put it in."
"Su Su, you're so clumsy! I've got it all over my mouth, it's so fishy!"
"Uh... how can your fish be fishy? It didn't have any fishy smell when I ate it just now."
...
ps: Thank you all for your gifts and support, I love you guys. I got back very late last night after working overtime and only managed to write two chapters.
