Chapter 49: No Touching

Several minutes passed.

Chu Fang slowly sank deeper into the couch with boredom written all over his face while Li Lian and Chu Zijin continued recording.

The producer repeatedly stopped them over tiny mistakes Chu Zijin was making.

"No, no, no! Again from the top!"

Chu Fang stared at the producer with dead eyes.

[He’s doing it wrong...]

The inner thought instantly reached both Li Lian and Chu Zijin again.

The two women subtly stiffened but continued singing anyway.

Then Chu Fang yawned.

[Maybe if I help out... Big Sister Zijin will give me a kiss on the cheek.]

He secretly licked his lips slightly.

This time, Chu Zijin completely lost focus.

She accidentally missed her timing during the next line.

"CUT!"

The producer slammed his hand down in frustration.

"What was that, Chu Zijin!?"

His face looked irritated now.

"Do you know how many connections I had to use just to get you onto this song!?"

Chu Zijin immediately lowered her head apologetically.

"I’m sorry, sir..."

Chu Fang narrowed his eyes toward the producer.

[Host, please spin the wheel to help your sister!]

Chu Fang’s eyes instantly widened.

A holographic wheel suddenly appeared before him.

Without hesitation, he spun it dramatically.

SPINNNNN...

Then it stopped almost immediately.

[Music Producing Genius]

Which hilariously had been the only option on the wheel.

An overwhelming amount of musical knowledge instantly flooded Chu Fang’s mind.

His confidence immediately skyrocketed.

Then he stood up proudly from the couch.

"Excuse me, sir."

Everyone looked toward him.

"You’re doing it wrong. It’s not my sister’s fault."

The producer blinked several times in disbelief.

"...Huh?"

Then he rubbed his forehead tiredly.

"Listen, little boy, can you just stay quiet? We’re trying to work here."

Chu Fang smirked internally.

[Face slap incoming.]

But before he could continue...

Click.

The studio door suddenly opened.

"Hello..."

Shen Tian stepped inside before glancing around at the tense atmosphere.

"...Am I interrupting something?"

The moment Li Lian saw him, her eyes immediately brightened.

"Shen Tian!"

She quickly left the booth and walked over before hugging him naturally.

Her body pressed softly against his chest.

Chu Fang glanced over immediately.

[Lucky bastard...]

At the same time, Li Lian heard Shen Tian’s inner voice.

[It’s honestly really good seeing her.]

[I needed someone to talk music with.]

Hearing such normal and genuine thoughts instantly made Li Lian smile lightly.

Then she glanced toward Chu Fang again.

The contrast between the two inner voices felt absurd.

One was calm and respectful.

The other belonged to a tiny child acting like a degenerate.

Chu Zijin also walked over. ’Why can I also hear young master Shen’s inner voice?’

She was just about to shake Shen Tian’s hand.

"HEY!"

Chu Fang immediately jumped between them protectively.

"No touching!"

Everyone froze.

Then Chu Fang’s inner voice echoed out again.

[Why would I let another man touch my sister in front of me!?]

[I didn’t even get a hug yet!]

Chu Zijin instantly wanted to bury herself in the ground from embarrassment.

Still, she tried convincing herself it wasn’t anything weird.

’Maybe he’s just an overprotective little brother...’

Quickly, she patted Chu Fang’s head awkwardly.

"Don’t worry, Little Fang. Big Sister isn’t going to get eaten by Young Master Shen."

Chu Fang’s face twitched slightly.

[WORDS, SISTER!]

[YOU MAKE IT SOUND REALLY WEIRD!]

Chu Zijin’s face immediately turned red.

"S-sorry..."

Then she awkwardly looked toward Shen Tian.

"Sorry about his behavior, Young Master Shen..."

Shen Tian simply chuckled.

"Don’t worry about it."Zijin

The producer’s face instantly paled.

"Young Master Shen!"

He hurriedly bowed his head respectfully.

"N-Nice to meet you..."

Shen Tian casually gave a half-nod.

"I’m just here helping a good friend with music."

Then he smiled slightly.

"So don’t mind me."

The producer’s face practically lit up.

"Of course, Young Master Shen!"

He immediately stepped aside respectfully.

"Go ahead! This studio is basically yours now!"

It was painfully obvious he wanted to leave a good impression on the Shen Family.

Chu Fang watched this entire interaction with narrowed eyes.

Then he clicked his tongue internally.

[So he looks down on me because I’m a kid...]

[But suddenly acts respectful toward this idiot because he’s rich?]

Shen Tian casually glanced toward the little boy.

The moment he entered the studio earlier, Shen Tian had already recognized him as the new protagonist.

On the drive over, his system had explained the basic plot of this newly formed "webnovel world."

A transmigrator from Earth reborn into the body of a child genius.

Armed with an overpowered All Rounder System designed to make every aspect of life easy.

Music.

Academics.

Sports.

Business.

Everything.

The protagonist would constantly show off his talents, shock everyone around him, and eventually win over his four older sisters before living happily ever after.

Shen Tian had a plan to deal with this little protagonist.

Beat him in his own specialties.

Overshadow him publicly.

Destroy his "genius" image.

And his Fate would naturally be stripped away piece by piece.

Simple.

Very simple.

Shen Tian slowly smiled.

’Well... at least this one seems easier to bully.’

Shen Tian casually walked into the recording booth himself.

Li Lian and Chu Zijin quickly followed behind him, while the producer and staff watched curiously from outside.

Chu Fang walked back to the couch and sat down.

He wanted to see exactly what Shen Tian could actually do.

Inside the booth, Shen Tian adjusted several settings before helping position the microphones properly.

Then he stepped behind Li Lian first.

"Relax your shoulders a little," he said calmly.

Without waiting for permission, he gently adjusted her posture himself.

Li Lian’s body stiffened slightly from the sudden contact.

Then Shen Tian leaned closer toward the microphone.

"Your breathing control is fine. But your stance is too tense. You’re subconsciously restricting your voice."

Li Lian blinked slightly.

"...You noticed that?"

Shen Tian simply smirked.

"Of course."

Then he moved toward Chu Zijin.

"You too."

He lightly adjusted her arm positioning before tilting her chin upward slightly.

"Your voice naturally carries upward. So if your posture collapses, your notes lose stability."

Chu Zijin’s eyes widened slightly.

"...That’s exactly what my vocal teacher used to tell me."

Outside the booth, Chu Fang’s face slowly darkened.

Watching another man casually touching his sister while acting cool instantly irritated him.

Still...

He forced himself to remain seated.

Rushing into the booth now would only make him look bad.

So he could only silently endure it.

Chu Fang’s system quickly spoke up.

[Relax, Host.]

[You will soon have an opportunity to show off.]

[Then you can publicly face-slap this villain young master.]

Hearing that, Chu Fang’s confidence quickly returned.

A grin slowly appeared on his face.

"...You’re right," he whispered quietly to himself.
