Ai Xiaoxing's face was full of disbelief. "You can write an entire song right now? Including the lyrics and melody?"
Xu Yi nodded as if it were only natural. "What's the problem?"
Ai Xiaoxing stood rooted to the spot, unable to say a word for a long time.
After all, many of the hit songs she knew had taken months or even years to finish composing.
"Xu Yi, there's no need to rush. Quality is what matters most."
Xu Yi smiled. "So after all that, you're worried the quality of my song won't be good enough?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
"Quit yapping. Just wait until I finish it and slap you in the face with it."

The campus belle really fell silent, quietly watching Xu Yi write the lyrics and compose the melody.
Everyone said men were at their most handsome when they were serious, but the campus belle had previously scoffed at that claim.
Now, as she watched Xu Yi, she found herself agreeing somewhat.
His long eyelashes, high nose bridge, sharp brows, and bright eyes... More than that, he possessed an incredibly carefree, flamboyant, and confident air.
The campus belle gradually became a little entranced.
"Why do you keep staring at me? Do I have a flower growing on my face?"
"No, no... I was just spacing out. I happened to be looking in your direction." Ai Campus Belle quickly lowered her head.
Hehe~ She's probably jealous of my beauty. How vulgar!

After Xu Yi's relentless verbal assault, Ai Xiaoxing became much more docile.
But she still glanced at Xu Yi from time to time.
Municipal Party office building~
"Good morning, Secretary."
"Thanks for your hard work, Secretary."
Fang Tang beamed as he responded one by one to the employees who pretended to be passing by but had actually come over specifically to greet him.
Only when he reached the office door did the corners of his mouth droop. He removed his glasses and wearily rubbed the bridge of his nose.
Everyone said this position was a good one, but who could understand the toil that came with it?
Perhaps he would not be so tired after climbing a little higher.
As the Municipal Party Secretary, he had plenty of messy matters to deal with every day.
The one thing that comforted him, however, was that his child's essay had won first prize.
My father, the Municipal Party Secretary~
That final sentence in particular had touched him deeply.
Only later did I realize that "secretary" was not merely a title, but also a responsibility. He had to protect not only our little family, but also the countless lights of every household throughout the city.
The moment he pushed open the door and entered, he froze, his mind going blank.
Because someone was sitting in the chair that should have been his.
The Disciplinary Committee is here?!
Who put money in my refrigerator?
No, wait, there's no money in the refrigerator.
Still no. I haven't taken any bribes, so why am I nervous?
Fang Tang's thoughts raced wildly. Finally, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and stepped inside, preparing to face the situation calmly.
But when he approached and saw the military uniform, he was completely dumbfounded.
Someone from the military? What are they doing here?
"Little Fang, you're here." The voice was slightly hoarse with age, but still strong and resonant.
Fang Tang stared fixedly at the three stars on the shoulder insignia, his pupils trembling violently.
"You... You should have told me in advance that you were coming. I could have arranged a proper reception."
"There's no need. I'm only here to see a child of one of the soldiers under my command."
Fang Tang immediately understood. This man had come to back that child.
If the child's abilities were good enough, he could steadily promote him.
After all, connecting with the military would also help with his future advancement.
"May I ask where that child currently works?"
"He doesn't work anywhere. He's still a student."
Fang Tang could not help freezing for a moment. He marveled inwardly at the bigshot's foresight.
The boy was still a student, yet he was already paving the way for him.
Zhang Mu seemed to see through his thoughts and slowly said, "Don't misunderstand. What the child wants to do in the future is none of this old man's business.
"I heard he hasn't been doing very well, so I came specifically to see him. After all, the child's father died in service. We can't let a hero shed blood and tears, can we?"
Fang Tang smiled and echoed him, but he felt somewhat troubled inside.
If you want to see the child, you could have gone directly to him. Why come to my office?
He's clearly implying something.
Even so, he assured him, "Old Zhang, rest assured. We won't let a hero's son suffer any grievances. Especially not while I'm in office."
"How old is the child now? Which school does he attend, and what's his name? I'll have someone organize a visit."
Zhang Mu shook his head. "There's no need to trouble you with a trip. The child is livestreaming right now. We can use this to see how he's doing."
Fang Tang froze again, but Zhang Mu had already taken out a military phone, so he could not say anything more.
However, the moment he opened the livestream, both of them were stunned.
A handsome young man and a beautiful young woman were sitting together. Their looks were enough to crush those of a whole crowd of celebrities.
"What are they doing?"
"Xu Yi is writing a song for the girl."
"Huh? That child is so talented?" Fang Tang asked in surprise.
Zhang Mu sincerely smiled for the first time. "Of course. Just look at whose soldier's... whose child he is..."
Zhang Mu's expression instantly turned forlorn. "That child... He really does resemble him~"
Xu Yi put down his pen and rolled his wrists a few times.
"Done."
The campus belle put down her Old Beijing chicken wrap and wiped her mouth, her eyes filled with suspicion.
"That fast? You really managed to write a song?"
When she picked up the paper and examined it closely, she stiffened on the spot.
Her gaze remained fixed on it, refusing to move away.
Myth of Stars and Moon? What a beautiful name...
"The most beautiful scenery in my life was meeting you."
"In the boundless sea of people, I quietly gazed at you, a stranger yet somehow familiar."
"..."
"Where will you be a thousand years from now, and what kind of scenery will surround you?"
"Our story was not particularly beautiful, yet it was so difficult to forget."
"If we had bravely been together back then, would our ending have been different?"
"..."
Ai Xiaoxing covered her mouth, her pupils continuously shrinking.
"Such... such beautiful lyrics."
"What a tragic love story..."
"It's only one song, yet I can actually see a love story spanning a thousand years within it."
The campus belle's delicate body trembled slightly, and drops of clear tears slid down her tender cheeks.
It was obvious that the lyrics had moved her.
After all, people were emotional creatures.
"Xu Yi, Xu Yi."
"Huh? I'm still not used to it when you don't call me bro."
"Are you a genius?"
Xu Yi shook his head. "Actually, I didn't write this song."
"Huh?"
Xu Yi took a deep breath and decided to come clean. After all, he still had a conscience. "Actually... my second personality wrote it."
As he spoke, he suddenly covered his right eye and said in a cold voice, "Amaterasu!"
Pfft~
Ai Xiaoxing suddenly burst out laughing, and the other people in the restaurant immediately stared at her in a daze.
"Xu Yi, you're so childish."
Look, the beauty's laughing~
I'm dying. The beauty's laughing at a guy.
Immediately afterward, Ai Xiaoxing raised both hands above her head. "Planetary Devastation!"
Xu Yi: "Abstract Sister's being abstract again."
The campus belle: "..."

Is the streamer romance-proof or something?
I just used the streamer's method to make Xiao Mei laugh, but she called me a clown. Boo-hoo-hoo...
If Ai Campus Belle were not so abstract, her looks could probably rise another five points.
Zhang Mu turned to Fang Tang with a puzzled look. "What is this Amaterasu Tesla thing?"
The corners of Fang Tang's mouth twitched. How could he possibly understand the things young people were into?
"Old Fang, it's probably the name of some electric car. Though, of course, it could also be an electric scooter."
