"This song would sound best with a bamboo flute accompaniment," Xu Yi suggested.

"I'll go ask the boss if I can borrow one and play the accompaniment for you."

The Campus Belle looked surprised. "You even know how to play the bamboo flute?"

"Just a little, just a little..."

"Then how did you know the boss had one?"

"Isn't there an honorary certificate hanging on the wall?"

A moment later, Xu Yi borrowed the flute and familiarized himself with it.

"Listen carefully to the accompaniment and see if it suits your singing."

"Okay." The Campus Belle's beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons, her expression full of anticipation.

The next second, a melody with a strong Xianxia vibe, reminiscent of Chinese Paladin, was played.

Campus Belle: "??"

"Isn't the lyric about sad love? This melody doesn't seem right."

Xu Yi felt a bit awkward. "Sorry, that was a different song."

[Shock Points +50]

"You have other original songs?!"

"Just a little..."

Xu Yi began to play again.

A sense of ancient desolation and brokenness washed over them.

Ai Xiaoxing's eyes widened. "What song is this again? It's making my hair stand on end."

Damn, how did I end up playing the March of the Desolate Heaven Emperor?

"Hold on a moment, let me recall. I have too many songs, it's easy to get them mixed up sometimes."

What followed was the melody of He Yi Ge being played.

Welcome, Ancestor of the Yi Ling!

"Still not right... I'll try again."

Ru Meng~

Bian Jing~

Damn, why is Orchid Pavilion Prelude coming out now?

After that, Xu Yi played over a dozen more songs, each prelude capable of shaking the Campus Belle's soul.

But none of them were Star Moon Myth.

[...]

The Campus Belle's pink lips parted slightly, her expression dazed, revealing deep disbelief.

"This, this... Xu Yi, are all of these your original works?"

"What? You want to learn them?"

Ai Xiaoxing became excited. "Can I really?"

"Let's focus on mastering Star Moon Myth first. Don't bite off more than you can chew."

Ai Xiaoxing's expression fell slightly. "But you haven't played its melody yet."

"I just couldn't recall it for a moment, but it won't affect things. Let's head to the recording studio first. Maybe I'll remember it there."

"Ah? So soon..."

Ai Xiaoxing looked at the man before her with admiration.

A man who loves music surely can't be bad.

But the Campus Belle was thinking too much; Xu Yi's eyes were filled with the desire for a million yuan.

Meanwhile, the two senior military and political figures watching the livestream took a deep breath, seeing admiration and surprise in each other's eyes.

Fang Tang sighed, "This kid's talent is astonishing, second to none in the entire entertainment industry."

Zhang Mu's eyes showed pride. "Absolutely. His father was my most outstanding soldier. If it weren't for that incident, he'd probably be a regiment commander by now."

Fang Tang nodded. "After he graduates, I can arrange for him to join the Radio and Television Bureau..."

"Hmph, you brat, are you trying to poach him from me? With his talent, developing in the military would be even better."

Fang Tang fell silent. Didn't someone say there's no right to interfere with his development?

Big shots are indeed hypocritical!

Where are all these Emotion Points coming from?

Xu Yi looked at the Campus Belle and saw she was incredibly happy, clutching the lyrics and reciting them.

Xu Yi then looked at the shop owner, who was busy stir-frying tomatoes with tomatoes.

It couldn't be him...

Xu Yi looked out the window and saw a Ferrari parked outside the door at some point.

Seeing Xu Yi looking at him, the car window quickly closed.

Xu Yi: "Oh~ I get it, so it's a simp..."

Inside the car, Zheng Qian's face contorted in rage, his fists slamming hard on the steering wheel.

"Damn it, what kind of bumpkin dares to hit on the woman I'm interested in? Butler, what should we do?"

The butler's face showed a fierce expression. "How about we... 'take care of' him?"

Zheng Qian slapped the butler on the head. "Take care of your grandma! I'll 'take care of' you first.

Don't you know this is a society governed by law? How terrifying is the influence of self-media!"

"Then young master, should we find someone to threaten him? If that kid doesn't comply, we'll beat him up again. We have connections at the police station anyway."

"I already said it's a society governed by law. Dog shit, this kid is just a piece of dog shit! Why is the Campus Belle still smiling at him? Wuwuwu... she's never even said a few words to me."

"Then what should we do, young master?"

"Damn it, the Campus Belle is even clapping! Butler, find someone to kill him. Tell Old Mo I want to eat fish."

"Young master, this is a society governed by law."

Slap, slap~

Two more slaps landed on the butler's head. "I'm the young master, are you the young master?"

Zheng Qian revealed a vicious expression. "Anyone who dares to flirt with the woman I've set my sights on must die! Butler, investigate him. I want to dig up his dirt and cyberbully him mercilessly."

"Okay."

Although the butler wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, he was very efficient. After a few phone calls, Xu Yi's information appeared on his phone.

"How is it, Butler? Did you dig up any dirt?"

The butler's eyeballs were about to pop out. He stared blankly at the screen and stammered, "It's no good, young master. The more we dig, the more popular he becomes."

"Huh???"

Zheng Qian snatched the phone and looked at the screen, his expression instantly going blank.

"Father is a First-Class Merit hero, mother is Angel Against the Current, brother is a drug enforcement hero..."

Popular, too popular!

It perfectly complements my yellow brain to form a sacred banner~

"Young master, they're coming out."

"Follow them in a bit."

"Xu Yi, haven't we reached the recording studio yet? You've been taking detours for an hour."

"No rush, let's play with the car behind us first."

Seeing the Ferrari behind them, Ai Xiaoxing's pretty face showed a hint of anger.

"Why is this idiot here again? He's like a shadow..."

"You know him?"

"Yeah, he's a clown. He keeps bothering me, relying on his family's dirty money to do whatever he wants."

Xu Yi chuckled. So he's a rich second-generation heir after all.

Remember this, buddy: the goddess you can't even get in your dreams is paying me to have dinner with her.

An hour later~

[Negative Emotion Points +50 * 4]

Just by taking Zheng Qian for a drive, Xu Yi had already reaped a considerable amount of Emotion Points.

Zheng Qian was so angry he honked the horn repeatedly.

"Young Master, it looks like he's deliberately toying with us."

"Damn it, you think I can't see that? I'll make you pay..."

Immediately after, the Ferrari's headlights behind them flashed.

Ai Xiaoxing said nervously, "Xu Yi, it looks like he's trying to overtake."

"Let him. He's probably lost his patience."

The next second, the Ferrari arrogantly honked its horn and its body began to close in on the Porsche.

Xu Yi shook his head and made way for it.

But it pushed its luck, continuously forcing Xu Yi towards the guardrail.

The Campus Belle nervously clutched Xu Yi's sleeve, "Xu Yi, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, I'll find a chance to shake him off."

At this moment, a bend appeared ahead.

Xu Yi floored the accelerator, but the Ferrari also sped up, its tail right behind Xu Yi's car.

If Xu Yi turned now, the two cars would definitely collide.

Xu Yi sneered repeatedly. So he wants to play dirty, huh?
