Ai Xiaoxing's face was full of disbelief. "You can write a whole song right now? Including lyrics and melody?"

Xu Yi nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Is there a problem?"

Ai Xiaoxing stood frozen, unable to speak for a long time.

After all, many hit songs she knew took months, even years, to fully create.

"Xu Yi, there's no need to rush. Quality is the most important thing."

Xu Yi smiled. "So, you're worried that the quality of my creation won't be good enough."

"No, it's not."

"Stop blabbering. Wait until I create it, and I'll slap your face."

The Campus Belle stopped talking and quietly watched Xu Yi write lyrics and compose music.

They say men are most handsome when they're serious, a notion the Campus Belle had previously scoffed at.

Now, looking at Xu Yi, she couldn't help but agree a little.

Long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, sharp eyes like stars... and an extremely carefree, bold, and confident demeanor.

The Campus Belle gradually became entranced.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"No, no... I was just spacing out and happened to look your way." Ai Xiaoxing quickly lowered her head.

Heh~ He's probably just jealous of my beauty, the scoundrel!

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

After Xu Yi's barrage of taunts, Ai Xiaoxing calmed down considerably.

But she still looked at Xu Yi from time to time, intentionally or not.

Municipal Party Committee Office~

"Good morning, Secretary."

"Thank you for your hard work, Secretary."

Fang Tang beamed, responding to the employees who pretended to pass by but had specifically come to greet him.

When he reached his office door, he finally let his smile drop, took off his glasses, and tiredly pinched the bridge of his nose.

Everyone said this position was great, but who could understand the hardship involved?

Perhaps only by climbing higher would he not be so tired.

As the Municipal Party Secretary, there were countless troublesome matters every day.

But the only thing that comforted him was that his child's essay had won first prize.

My Party Secretary father~

The last sentence, in particular, deeply touched him.

Later, I realized that 'Secretary' is not just a title, but a responsibility. He must not only protect our small family but also protect the lights of countless homes in the entire city.

The moment he pushed open the door, he froze, his mind going blank.

Because in his chair sat someone.

The Disciplinary Committee is here?!

Who put money in my refrigerator?

No, there's no money in the refrigerator.

Still not right, I haven't embezzled anything, why am I nervous?

Fang Tang's mind raced with countless thoughts. Finally, he slowly exhaled and stepped in, ready to face the situation calmly.

But as he got closer and saw the military uniform, he was stunned.

Someone from the military? What are they doing here?

"Little Fang, you're here." The voice was a bit old but full of energy.

Fang Tang's gaze was fixed on the three stars on the shoulder insignia, his pupils trembling.

"Sir, you didn't give me any advance notice of your visit, so I could have prepared to receive you."

"No need. I just came to see a child under my command."

Fang Tang understood immediately. He was here to support that child.

If the child's abilities were sufficient, he could be promoted continuously.

After all, establishing connections with the military would also be beneficial for future advancement.

"May I ask, Old Zhang, which department is that child currently serving in?"

"He's not serving. He's still a student."

Fang Tang couldn't help but freeze, inwardly marveling at the elder's foresight.

He's still a student, yet he's already thinking about paving the way for his child.

Zhang Mu seemed to read his mind and slowly said, "Don't misunderstand. I have no right to interfere with what the child wants to do in the future.

I heard he's not doing very well, so I came specifically to see him. After all, the child's father sacrificed himself. We can't let a hero shed blood and tears, can we?"

Fang Tang smiled in agreement, but felt a pang of sadness.

If you want to see the child, just go see him. Why come to my office?

This clearly has a hidden meaning.

But he still assured, "Old Zhang, please rest assured, we will not let the hero's son be wronged. Especially while I am in office."

"How old is the child now, which school does he attend, and what's his name? I'll have someone organize a condolence visit."

Zhang Mu shook his head, "No need to trouble you to make a trip. The child is currently live-streaming. We can see his recent situation from here."

Fang Tang was stunned again, but seeing Zhang Mu had already taken out a military-grade mobile phone, he couldn't say anything more.

However, as soon as the screen turned on, both of them were taken aback.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman were sitting together, their looks capable of overshadowing a host of celebrities.

"What are they doing?"

"Xu Yi is writing a song for the girl."

"Ah? This child is so talented?" Fang Tang was slightly surprised.

Zhang Mu smiled genuinely for the first time, "Of course. Who do you think his soldier... his child... is..."

Zhang Mu's expression instantly turned wistful, "This child... he really resembles him~"

Xu Yi put down his pen and stretched his wrists.

"Done."

The Campus Belle put down her Beijing-style chicken roll, wiped her mouth, and looked at him with suspicion.

"So quickly? Can you really write a song?"

When she picked up the paper and examined it closely, she froze on the spot.

Her gaze lingered, unwilling to move.

Myth of Stars and Moon? What a beautiful name... "

"The most beautiful scenery of my life is meeting you."

"Gazing at you quietly in the vast sea of people, both strange and familiar."

"..."

"Where will you be a thousand years from now, what scenery will be around you."

"Our story isn't exactly beautiful, yet it's so unforgettable."

"If we had been brave enough to be together back then, would the outcome be different."

"..."

Ai Xiaoxing covered her mouth, her pupils constricting.

"Such, such beautiful lyrics."

"Such a tragic story..."

"With just one song, I can see a love story spanning a thousand years within it."

The Campus Belle's delicate body trembled slightly, and tears trickled down her tender face.

It was clear she was moved by the lyrics.

After all, people are always sentimental.

"Xu Yi, Xu Yi."

"Ah? I'm not used to you calling me buddy anymore."

"Are you a genius?"

Xu Yi shook his head, "I didn't actually write this song."

"Ah?"

Xu Yi took a deep breath, intending to confess, as he still had a conscience. "Actually... this was written by my second personality."

As he spoke, he suddenly covered his right eye and said coldly, "Amaterasu!"

Pfft~

Ai Xiaoxing suddenly burst into laughter. The other patrons in the restaurant were instantly mesmerized.

"Xu Yi, you're so childish."

Look, the pretty girl is smiling~

The beauty was about to cry, smiling at a guy.

Immediately after, Ai Xiaoxing raised her hands and shouted, "Chibaku Tensei!"

Xu Yi: "Abstract Sister is being abstract again."

Campus Belle: "..."

[Is the streamer some kind of romance insulator?]

[I tried the streamer's method to make Xiao Mei smile just now, but Xiao Mei called me a clown. Wuwuwu...]

[If Ai Xiaoxing wasn't so abstract, her beauty would be five points higher.]

Zhang Mu looked at Fang Tang with a confused expression, "What is this Amaterasu thing?"

Fang Tang's lips twitched. How could he understand the things young people were into?

"Old Fang, it's probably the name of some electric car. Or maybe an electric scooter."
