Chapter 184: Chapter 161 A Clown

Luo Li had no other choice.

He accepted the challenge, and what if he got lucky and managed to create something? If he succeeded, Lin Yun would drop the lawsuit, and he would have completely overcome this difficulty.

If he didn’t accept the challenge, once the police got involved, who knew how many issues they might uncover? He had no choice.

“So now, we just need an intermediary to set the question,” Luo Li agreed, and the crowd immediately became excited.

Lin Yun posted another Weibo update.

“Since it’s a live stream, why not let the audience in the live room decide the topic? The topic needs to be niche and detailed. We will search from top to bottom in the live room, select ten topics that meet the requirements, and then, randomly draw one to be the final topic for this challenge. How about that?”

This method was relatively fair, and Luo Li couldn’t say anything against it.

And so, the method of selecting the topic was decided.

Very soon.

With the cooperation of the live room audience and the reporters on site, a final topic was drawn.

“In April, the grass grows and the orioles fly, a young man strides forward with high spirits.”

Upon seeing this topic.

Lin Yun smiled.

No one knew better than her that after so many years of neglect, Luo Li was nothing but a scarecrow when it came to composing.

But. He had stolen many of her drafts.

And back then, when she was trapped in darkness, her songs’ tunes also leaned towards the dark side.

If it were a topic with a dark theme, maybe he could cobble together a line or two from her discarded drafts.

But with the current topic…

The former her, how could she have written about grass growing and orioles flying in April?

If she couldn’t, then Luo Li couldn’t either.

Luo Li was completely finished.

Lin Yun, on the other hand, looked relaxed.

What the former her couldn’t do didn’t mean the current her couldn’t.

In the presence of the media.

Lin Yun and Luo Li connected through video link.

Lin Yun looked at Luo Li, who was rigid all over, and couldn’t help but smile slightly, “Assistant Luo. Long time no see.”

Luo Li could only manage to squeeze out a smile.

Lin Yun’s smile became even more profound.

In the past, whenever she looked at Luo Li, she couldn’t help but apply a filter to him.

Even when what Luo Li did or said greatly affected her emotions, she would try hard to convince herself it was her own problem, that everything Luo Li did was for her own good.

But.

Without those filters.

When she looked at Luo Li again.

He was nothing more than a despicable and incompetent middle-aged man.

“So, let’s start the timer now. You have one hour.”

Someone started the time.

Luo Li gripped the pen, the sweat on his palms making the pen somewhat slippery.

Luo Li tried several times before he could hold the pen tightly.

Gazing at the blank sheet of paper on the table, his entire being was bewildered.

His mind, just like this sheet of paper, was blank, completely devoid of any idea what melody to match with this theme.

He tried hard to think.

But the tunes that surfaced in his mind were all those discarded by Lin Yun.

And his own stuff?

There was not a trace to be found.

But those.

Clearly could not be used here.

It was already deep autumn.

Yet, Luo Li’s forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

He looked up.

In the camera.

Lin Yun hadn’t started either, she was just smiling, calmly watching him.

Her expression seemed so helpless, so non-threatening.

But Luo Li shivered all over nonetheless.

He always felt that Lin Yun was mocking him mercilessly.

This woman, she dared to make such a bet, so she must be looking down on him, right?
