Chapter 29
This Is a Talent Show, Not a Dating Show

Cao Gong suddenly turned around and asked Reba. "Oh right, Reba PD, do you like me?"

"What if I like you? Is that not allowed? It's my freedom." Reba said with a hint of annoyance.

"Of course it's allowed, Reba PD, it's my honor that you like me."

"But Reba PD, what religion do you Uyghurs believe in?"

"Islam?!" Reba subconsciously answered, upon getting her reply, Cao Gong immediately said happily, "I believe in Buddhism. Our faiths are different, we're destined to be together."

Reba, upon being rejected, immediately raised her hand and grabbed Cao Gong's ear.

Reba was holding Cao Gong's ear with one hand, and the other hand was covering her mouth as she laughed and bent over.

He could actually come up with that kind of reason for rejection?

The audience watching the show also laughed out loud.

You're a new Muslim, I'm a Buddhist, our beliefs don't match, let's break up.

Cao Gong didn't know that these words of his would become a popular phrase on the internet after the show aired.

"You're going to die, aren't you?" Reba asked him again, biting her lips.

"No, no, no." Cao Gong held Reba's hand, urging her to let go.

After enough teasing, Cao Gong asked Reba, "Have you decided what kind of song you want?"

"Yeah, can you write one, or do you have one already?"

"One that expresses the shortness of life, because missing out in this lifetime means you might not be able to meet again in the next life, you have to cherish it, don't lose someone who loves you, someone who sees only you in their eyes?"

Cao Gong quickly thought of a suitable song based on Dili Reba's requirements for the song.

"Listen to this." Though he wasn't sure if it was what she wanted, this song was indeed very close.

This practice room had an electronic keyboard, which Li Ronghao used to play songs for the trainees when he taught vocal classes.

Now, seeing the electronic keyboard, Cao Gong used it.

As he played the music, Cao Gong's eyes and expressions were exceptionally focused and gentle.

Dili Reba stood beside him, her left arm crossed in front of her belly, her left hand holding her raised right elbow, and her right hand even held her chin, gazing at Cao Gong, who was playing music and singing, with tenderness and sweetness.

While singing, Cao Gong subconsciously looked at the quiet figure standing beside him.

Looking at the figure beside him, Cao Gong's singing was as if he was singing to her.

"Until I, traveled through half a lifetime, four seasons"

"I realized the scenery isn't as beautiful as you~~"

"I love you like the wind… traveled for thousands of miles, never asking when I'll return, like the sun rising and falling, regardless of morning or evening."

"I love you like the clouds… drifted for thousands of miles, never resting, like the snow raging across the vast land, endless~"

"I love you like a moth… flying into the fire, fearless, like the old yellow flowers piled up, blown away by the wind~"

"I love you like the river… flowing endlessly, never ceasing, like the wild grass on the barren land, reborn and burning forever~"

The climax of this song made Dili Reba's eyes sparkle with sweet tenderness.

These few lyrics were simply a heart-attack for young girls.

Many viewers were also captivated by this song after hearing it.

Especially the girls, their hearts were thoroughly teased by Cao Gong.

The love expressed in this song is like the river, flowing endlessly, continuously flowing in people's lives.

Cao Gong's mellow and infectious voice interpreted this song, making people deeply feel the rich emotions of the song. When you hear his high-pitched and passionate singing voice, you feel the power of fearlessness and passionate pursuit.

Hearing such a beautiful song, Dili Reba's face was filled with a sweetness she couldn't hide.

Meeting the right you, at the right age.

"What's this song called?" As Cao Gong finished singing, Reba gently asked him for the song title.

After finishing the song, Cao Gong subconsciously answered Reba, "I love you without asking for a return date."

"Okay, I accept your confession." Reba playfully tilted her head, smiling at Cao Gong.

"…" Now Cao Gong was baffled, how did you get me to confess?

However, the song title, it seemed, it seemed like a confession.

Realizing he had fallen into her trap, Cao Gong felt helpless.

"Then you're unemployed." Cao Gong also smiled and said to Reba.

"Will you support me if I'm unemployed?" Reba smiled and played along with him.

"I can't afford it." Cao Gong was helpless, saying, "My current income can't support you."

"But my current income can support you." Reba confidently said to Cao Gong.

Cao Gong, who was just a celibate, muscular guy, immediately said, "Wife, I love you, I don't want to work hard anymore."

"Puchi~" Cao Gong's flattering and unprincipled response made Reba giggle continuously, "Haha~"

The viewers watching the show were once again amused by Cao Gong's witty remarks.

Sister, I love you, I don't want to work hard anymore, this phrase was also widely used in memes.

Cao Gong's constant wit made the viewers watching the show love him.

The director of the production team also understood the audience, so they gave Cao Gong more screen time.

Because Cao Gong had more screen time, more people watched, and the more people watched, the more the show could earn from advertising.

Moreover, for the show's popularity, the production team, besides updating the content of the singing competition every week.

They also specially edited a 'Gong Reba CP' love variety show segment.

You know, Gong Reba CP's interactions were very sweet and watchable, and the audience loved them.

Since they loved it, and since it could bring benefits to the show, of course, they had to make good use of it.

"You don't want to work hard anymore, go find your dad." Reba laughed.

"Forget it, my Heavenly King dad has to support two women."

"What? Two, two women?" Reba was now panicked, is that something you can talk about?

"Yeah, I have a half-sister, she's just a little kid, she's probably burning money going to kindergarten."

"Going to kindergarten in Hong Kong, a semester's tuition is enough for me to go to college for four years and still have money left over."

"Hehe~" Knowing he was referring to his half-sister, Reba was relieved.

Otherwise, she really would have thought wrong.

Reba held her chin, troubled, "This song is good, but is it suitable for the two of us to perform?"

Cao Gong narrowed his eyes to look at this woman, her little thoughts were already exposed.

Noticing Cao Gong narrowing his eyes, Reba knew she had been exposed.

"Act, if you keep acting, your acting skills would have already made you a Best Actress in TV dramas."

"No, no, no." Reba shyly puffed up her cheeks, saying that she was useless.

"Humph, no? Deliberately saying a theme, isn't it just because you want me to sing you a confession song?"

"Hehe~" Reba, who was exposed, stopped pretending, she put her hands behind her back and bent over gracefully, her pretty face close to Cao Gong, she said sweetly, "Yes, but you still sang it for me, didn't you?"

Cao Gong gazed at the pretty face so close to him with affectionate eyes, then raised his hand and gently tapped Reba's forehead with the back of his finger.

"Ow." Although it didn't hurt, Reba still quickly covered her forehead.

But this little action of theirs made countless female viewers scream excitedly.
