You call this a nursery rhyme?

In the dance studio not far from Bai Youlou and the others.

Another "soul-searching" session was underway.

Oh, right, Zhang Xiaorong, who had just come to "eavesdrop," was a dance and deportment teacher at Beijing Film Academy. However, An Luning had known her for even longer; she had been Zhang Xiaorong's dance teacher when Zhang Xiaorong was still studying at Beijing Dance Academy, and An Luning hadn't even been an adult then.

Their relationship could be described as both mentor and friend.

At this moment, the big star student An Luning was full of curiosity, waiting for her best friend Zhang Xiaorong to tell her what was going on.

"Sister Zhang, what did you just see? You were watching for so long?"

Zhang Xiaorong, while tidying up the ballet outfit she had brought, replied softly, "A boy was playing and singing over there."

"Who?" An Luning asked impatiently.

In fact, she already had an answer in mind.

But, playing and singing?

That didn't seem to have anything to do with Bai Youlou.

However, Zhang Xiaorong just shook her head, "I don't know him."

"You don't know Bai Youlou?!" An Luning exclaimed in surprise, but quickly realized, "Oh right, you usually use an old flip phone, and you don't like going online, so it's quite possible you don't know him."

Not everyone pays attention to all the gossip online. Some elderly people, even middle-aged individuals, might not use the internet, so how would they know about Bai Youlou's messy affairs?

Similarly, although he was quite popular as an idol before, there were still some people who simply wouldn't pay attention to such things.

Even though Zhang Xiaorong was a young woman, her daily habits were clearly not that youthful.

"Bai Youlou? Is that his name? So you knew who was there all along."

Looking at the smile on Zhang Xiaorong's face, An Luning felt a sense of having her secrets exposed.

In front of this sister, it felt like she couldn't hide anything. The other person would just look at her quietly, as if she could see through everything.

Of course, that was just her own illusion.

"I initially suspected... that his singing would be terrible, right?" An Luning forcefully changed the subject.

However, the main reason she wanted to say Bai Youlou's singing was bad was that she still remembered their previous "grudge."

Ignoring her...

Zhang Xiaorong didn't dwell on it. After a moment's thought, she seriously shook her head, "He sang very well, but I've never heard the songs he sang before. If he wrote them, then he's quite talented."

"Ah? Really?" An Luning found it hard to believe.

"Really. I've also studied a bit of vocal music. He doesn't rely purely on his vocal conditions; he has a lot of technique."

"Sister Zhang, are you sure it was Bai Youlou singing? What you're describing doesn't sound like him at all."

Zhang Xiaorong blinked her eyes, "But I don't know Bai Youlou. There were three people in that classroom."

"Then what were the characteristics of the person singing?"

"Um, he was quite handsome, just a bit scruffy," Zhang Xiaorong said honestly.

How to correctly distinguish between Old Zhou, Long Ziqiang, and Bai Youlou? Distinguishing them by appearance is the easiest way.

Even if Bai Youlou is scruffy and unkempt now, when he's with those two guys, he's incredibly handsome.

An Luning: It's over.

It's definitely Bai Youlou!

She was clearly about to say something else and was organizing her thoughts when her agent sister arrived again.

Seeing her arrive, An Luning decisively chose to shut up.

After all, her agent strictly forbade her from having any contact with Bai Youlou.

However, upon seeing Zhang Xiaorong, her agent's face broke into a smile, and she said warmly, "Xiaorong, you're here. I was just about to send someone to pick you up. It's already evening, and you came all by yourself..."

"It's fine, I live in the apartment across from the school."

An Luning's agent, Sister Hong, was very polite to Zhang Xiaorong.

The main reason was that she had always wanted to sign Zhang Xiaorong as an artist.

This girl's looks, figure, and temperament... the first time she met her, she became Sister Hong's favorite. In her words, it would be a shame if she didn't debut.

But Zhang Xiaorong had always refused, citing her lack of interest and talent in acting.

This made Sister Hong feel it was a pity, but she didn't give up on "pursuing" Zhang Xiaorong.

She might not be interested in acting, but she was very interested in singing.

This girl, who had studied dance for over ten years and even shone brightly at the Taoli Cup, actually harbored a dream of becoming a singer. She loved to sing.

Unfortunately, An Luning and Huaxing Entertainment, behind Sister Hong, primarily focused on film and television.

They had almost no achievements in the music industry.

Although An Luning herself had released two albums, compared to her achievements and influence in the film and television drama field, they were at best negligible, let alone brilliant.

Their company's record label department was practically just for show.

It was unlikely they'd massively expand their staff just for an unknown like Zhang Xiaorong and suddenly become so active.

As for Zhang Xiaorong herself, her laid-back personality meant she hadn't even bothered to contact other record companies.

Sister Hong pondered: As long as no record company intercepted her, Zhang Xiaorong would eventually end up in her hands.

She couldn't escape. With Zhang Xiaorong's low-key style, those capable record companies didn't even know she existed, so how could they intercept her?

However, what agent Sister Hong didn't know was that the "smart and clever" student An Luning, finding it difficult to contact Bai Youlou directly, decided to find a "middleman" to pass along a note.

She was incredibly curious about Bai Youlou's current situation.

Making movies and singing songs – it was all so unfamiliar!

In her memory, wasn't Bai Youlou just a "shy" big brother before?

This change was too drastic.

A phrase Bai Youlou had smiled and uttered before echoed in her mind: "Guys as handsome as me are usually the main characters~"

"This book I'm writing is called the Great Sun Tathagata True Scripture. When it's full, help me register the copyright."

Regarding the Three Hundred Children's Songs he carried with him, Bai Youlou gave Old Zhou this explanation.

Seeing the staves and lyrics inside, Old Zhou's mouth twitched. He had so many things he wanted to say, but he didn't know where to start.

Fortunately, he had developed a strong immunity to Bai Youlou's occasional "madness."

Who cared if it was Three Hundred Children's Songs or One Thousand and One Stories?

But, "full"?

Was he selling them wholesale?!

He was utterly confused, while Long Ziqiang next to him was incredibly excited, looking at the Three Hundred Children's Songs as if a martial artist had discovered a peerless martial arts manual.

He gazed at it longingly.

Finally, Old Zhou couldn't hold back and asked, "Were those songs you just sang all from this book?"

Bai Youlou shook his head. "No, those songs weren't children's songs."

Old Zhou, Long Ziqiang: ???

"Really children's songs?!"

Old Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the Three Hundred Children's Songs from him. He casually flipped through it and found that Bai Youlou had already written about half of it, estimating dozens of songs.

Then he opened the first page and saw the title of the first song.

Lone Brave.

The title inexplicably sent a shiver down Old Zhou's spine.

He looked at the lyrics more closely and became even more certain.

After all, he had imagined many scenarios about Bai Youlou's current mental state. In his eyes, the "crazy" Bai Youlou was now broken.

At the same time, a sense of absurdity washed over him.

You call this a children's song?
