I’m the Villain’s Lackey, and I Started by Forcibly Kissing the Villain’s Sister - Chapter 44:

Chapter 44: New Protagonist Lin Xian? Master of Extracting Hit Songs from Another World:

Su Chen was about to complain inwardly that he had heard this song so many times that his ears had calluses, but then he noticed that even Leng Qingge was standing and humming along with the melody. 

After thinking about it, Su Chen also stood up.

At this moment, the uncle behind Su Chen, illuminated by the stage lights, finally recognized him. “Damn, bro, aren’t you the guy who sang on stage just now?” 

Realizing he might have disturbed someone important, the uncle quickly grew nervous. 

Su Chen shrugged, “Yeah, that’s me. What’s wrong?” 

“You were awesome up there! That song really hit deep!” 

“Ahem, thanks for the compliment.”

…

Meanwhile, on stage, Su Xiaonuan’s performance entered its second half. Her expression was full of affection and immersion, but her eyes kept glancing toward Su Chen.

“Wow! Xiaonuan is looking at me!” 

“Nonsense! She’s looking at me!” 

“Shameless! Obviously she’s looking at me!”

“A pair of arms encircling my chest, enough to resist the swirling world~~ 

a stubborn persistence that refuses to let go, enough to ignite all hope, 

the universe is vast and indifferent, our love is tiny yet twinkling, 

tossed about yet selfless, fate let us meet outside the chaos, 

destiny made us fall in love amidst danger, 

maybe the future is light-years away, I’m willing to wait for you in the unknown, 

I never thought for you I could go crazy enough, 

without you, even tsunamis wouldn’t make me flee, 

my brain has gone crazy for you, without you,

my heartbeat is meaningless, beyond navigation is an unawakened dream, beyond the chaotic world is pure embrace, 

I never thought for you I could go crazy enough, without you, even tsunamis wouldn’t make me flee, 

my brain has gone crazy for you, without you, 

my heartbeat is meaningless, meeting outside the chaos,

 loving amidst danger, meeting outside the chaos, loving amidst danger, 

I never thought~~~~~~”

As the song ended, Su Xiaonuan placed her left hand on her chest and bowed gently. “Thank you for listening~~ but the good show isn’t over yet, don’t blink!” 

“Next, I’ll perform my breakout song…”

A concert lasting several hours would usually be exhausting for anyone standing, but the fans, as if on a sugar rush, showed no sign of fatigue.

During this time, Su Chen made a discovery. 

While listening to Su Xiaonuan’s second song, his system suddenly notified him that someone nearby had also awakened a system.

Naturally, Su Chen investigated and discovered that Lin Xian, Su Xiaonuan’s exclusive lyricist and composer, was also a system awakener.

However, Lin Xian’s system was completely different from his. Lin Xian, one of the protagonists of this world, had awakened the [Otherworld Golden Hit Library System]. Through this system, he could obtain top-tier songs from Su Chen’s previous world.

This was how Lin Xian had risen from an ordinary otaku to become Su Xiaonuan’s exclusive music producer.

Currently, Lin Xian had already handed over dozens of wildly popular songs to Su Xiaonuan without hesitation. Such a high-quality, high-output producer naturally earned Su Xiaonuan’s complete trust. Tonight’s Light Years Away was just one among them.

[This Lin Xian is just a pure porter!]

[And this so-called Otherworld Golden Hit Library, isn’t it just songs from my world?]

[Calling yourself a hitmaker with this? Ridiculous!]

[Snatching a few songs to make some money is fine, but dumping everything onto Su Xiaonuan? Bro, aren’t you afraid of being found out?]

[Even top-tier original stars from my past life would kneel if they saw you!]

Su Xiaonuan heard all of Su Chen’s inner thoughts. 

On the surface, she maintained a sweet smile and sang energetically, but inside, her heart was in chaos.

What’s more shocking was that Su Chen could sing along perfectly with every lyric—even songs from her upcoming, unreleased album! 

This confirmed even more that Lin Xian was a fraud.

No wonder Lin Xian always dodged her questions about basic vocal theory. 

So this was the truth!

Soon, the entire plot of the novel King of Entertainment: I Am a Super Star Producer flooded Su Chen’s mind. 

While organizing this information, Su Chen smiled. 

He had been looking for some easy targets lately, and here one was delivered to him—perfect!

The concert ended successfully not long after. 

Fans exited in an orderly manner, their faces still filled with joy. Many fans who had been moved by Su Chen’s performance of Young and Promising recognized him and rushed over for photos and compliments, making Su Chen feel a bit embarrassed.

…

Meanwhile, backstage, Su Xiaonuan stormed in furiously. 

She felt deceived. Heading straight to Lin Xian’s workroom, she found him watching some “special” cherry blossom country movies. 

When he saw Su Xiaonuan, Lin Xian panicked, hurriedly hiding a roll of tissue and shutting down his phone. “Ahaha, Xiaonuan, it’s just you—scared me half to death!”

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. 

Fortunately, his reflexes honed by years of singleness had saved him.

Su Xiaonuan’s expression was icy, and Lin Xian gradually sensed that something was wrong. Despite no AC being on, the room’s temperature seemed to plummet.

Staring at Lin Xian, Su Xiaonuan spoke with some pain, “Lin Xian, tell me the truth—are the songs you gave me really your original creations?”

Lin Xian was stunned. Although she had asked him this before, she had never been this serious. He instantly grew guilty, “Of course they’re mine! What else could they be? Xiaonuan, why are you asking this today?”

“But,” Su Xiaonuan said sharply, “if these songs are really yours, rewrite Light Years Away right now, transposing it up by one key, exactly as it is.”

She pulled out pen and paper.

Lin Xian’s forehead dripped sweat as he took them but couldn’t write a single note. Usually, he would hum a tune to a local vocal coach and have them transcribe it. It was a simple cash-for-score transaction. As an otaku, he didn’t understand real composition techniques at all. His face turned pale, unable to write anything.

Seeing this, Su Xiaonuan sighed softly, but her expression soon firmed up. “I, Su Xiaonuan, don’t need to rise to fame by plagiarizing others. Sorry, Lin Xian—you’re fired.”

Lin Xian was dumbfounded. His system required him to lick the female lead to rise, and now being fired was a disaster. He had no idea how he got caught despite being so careful. Could it be… Su Xiaonuan had also awakened a system?

If he got fired, he would lose access to Su Xiaonuan—his goddess and his source of income!

Panicking, Lin Xian pleaded, “Xiaonuan, I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I’m begging you!”

Although he looked pitiful, his overall sleazy aura quickly ruined any sympathy he might have gotten.

Su Xiaonuan coldly said, “I have a friend who’s a music arranger. Work with her now. If you can pull it off, I might reconsider.”

Lin Xian froze, scratching his socks so hard it was like trying to dig a three-bedroom apartment in Shanghai with his toes. He didn’t know how to arrange music at all. In fact, he was tone-deaf!

“Uh… Actually, Xiaonuan, I suddenly have something urgent.”

“What?”

“Uh… the beta launch of Greedy Moon…”

“…?”

Thus, the backstage that night was filled with the miserable wails of a man. If you listened carefully, you’d hear, “Xiaonuan, Xiaonuan, without you how can I live?!”
