Linda's words seemed to carry a touch of gentle persuasion.
Li Na, who was still fuming, had a sudden thought pop into her head upon hearing Linda's words. She glanced back at the lyric notebook.
At this moment, Linda said, "I've heard that Meng Nianchu didn't have a very good reputation when she was someone's first love. If the news of her plagiarism gets out, I'm afraid no one will be too suspicious. These days, the relationship between her and Mu Feng has been making such a big deal. There should be quite a few of Mu Feng's fans who dislike her, right?"
"Probably," Li Na said, a shadow flashing across her eyes.
Hearing her tone, Linda knew that Li Na had taken her words to heart. She pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Meng Nianchu has so many enemies at this time. There might really be someone who will use this against her. It's good. She has bullied me so many times on the set. This will relieve my anger."
"If someone really does this, I'll definitely help," Linda said meaningfully. Then she stood up and patted Li Na's shoulder gently. "Today's incident was really Mu Feng's fault. If he misunderstands you again next time, come to me. I thought you were a very unique girl the first time I saw you on the set. I value you very much."
Linda looked around and said, "I'll leave first. You have a good rest."
"Wait!" Li Na suddenly called out to her. Then she handed the lyric notebook she had just hidden behind her back to Linda. "I see you're very interested in this. You can take a look, but you have to return it this afternoon."
The curve of Linda's lips became even more pronounced. She took it in her hand and already understood what Li Na meant.
"Don't worry. No one will know about this."
"I still need to eat, so I won't see you out."
Li Na's attitude towards Linda had obviously softened.
Linda stepped out of the room. Standing at the door, she glanced at the luxurious practice room of Meng Nianchu and the others. Linda snorted coldly and tightened her grip on the lyric notebook.
Let's see how proud you can still be!
After Linda entered her own practice room, she immediately took out her lyric notebook and compared it with the content in Meng Nianchu's lyric notebook. She found that some sentences were quite nice and could match the tune of her song, so she made some changes. After comparing the whole song, she had modified a total of five sentences.
Looking at the finished product in her hand, Linda was full of pride. After returning the lyric notebook to Li Na, she took the revised lyric notebook and made four copies, which she distributed to her students respectively.
"This is the song we're going to sing in the competition. There were some problems with the previous version, so I made some minor modifications. Everyone should hum along with the tune. If you have any questions, ask me in time."
"The revised lyrics are really better than the previous version. Words like 'gentle spring breeze' are so nice!"
"I like this sentence too. Teacher Linda is really amazing. It's much better than what we thought before. She really deserves to be a teacher!"
Listening to the praise from her students, Linda was very satisfied. She noticed that Yu Likun, who was standing at the very edge, looked a bit uncomfortable. She asked, "Likun, do you have any questions?"
"No," Yu Likun immediately looked up when he heard Linda's question. Looking back into Linda's eyes, he hesitated and said, "Did Teacher Linda really write this song?"
Suddenly, the expression on Linda's face froze slightly.
The other students all said, "What are you talking about? Teacher Linda gave us these lyrics herself. If she didn't write them, who did?"
"Exactly. If Teacher Linda didn't write them herself, could it be plagiarism?"
"Shut up!" Linda roared angrily.
The students all fell silent.
Linda stared at Yu Likun fiercely with her eyes. "What do you mean by saying this? Do you not believe your tutor's ability, or is there something wrong with these lyrics?"
When she asked this question, all the nerves in her body were tense.
Logically speaking, apart from Meng Nianchu herself, her students, and Li Na from their team, no one else could see Meng Nianchu's lyrics. Yu Likun couldn't have seen them before. How could he have such doubts...
Her eyes were fixed firmly on Yu Likun. Linda wanted to find the answer she wanted from him.
Seeing that Linda spoke so firmly, he squatted down to one side. "There's nothing wrong. I just thought that Teacher Linda's style has always been more straightforward and fiery, and the lyrics should be the same. I was quite surprised to see such fresh and delicate lyrics."
So that's it.
The tense nerves in Linda's body gradually relaxed. She curved her lips and said, "In a star-making show like this, everyone should learn to break away from their previous fixed styles and step out of their comfort zones. As a tutor, I should take the initiative to set an example for everyone. I hope everyone can learn from me."
"Teacher Linda is so great!"
"She's so beautiful and hardworking. I really don't know why those people on the Internet are blackmailing Teacher Linda. They're just blind!"
"Exactly!"
The students were very satisfied with the lyric notebook that Linda had given them again. They were sure that they would win this competition!
Yu Likun squatted on one side, looking down at the lyrics expressionlessly.
After practicing the melody of the song with Linda and the others, Linda had something to do and left temporarily, telling them to take a free break first. Yu Likun headed straight for Meng Nianchu's practice room.
He looked around and saw that there was no one nearby. Then he pushed the door and walked directly into the practice room.
Mu Feng, his students, and Meng Nianchu, who were taking a break after practicing the song, all looked at him at the same time.
"Didn't your female devil force you to practice dancing?"
Although everyone in Meng Nianchu's group didn't like Linda, they really admired Yu Likun, her student!
Especially Mu Feng, who really regarded him as his strongest opponent from the bottom of his heart!
That's why Yu Likun had heard them humming this song accidentally when chatting with them before. And when he saw the lyrics that Linda had given them again, he had doubts in his heart.
Without any pleasantries, Yu Likun directly held the lyric notebook in front of Meng Nianchu's eyes. "This is the new lyrics that Linda gave us. I think they're a bit similar to yours. Take a look."
Meng Nianchu looked at it sleepily. Then the look in her eyes gradually became sarcastic. Looking directly into Yu Likun's eyes, she asked, "Linda gave them to you?"
"Yes."
Finally, he asked another question, "Plagiarism?"
Meng Nianchu pursed her lips and nodded. "It's blatant plagiarism."
She felt a bit depressed in her heart.
No matter how stupid Linda was, she wouldn't be stupid enough to blatantly copy the lyrics like this in the same variety show. Didn't she fear being found out?
