"This song would sound best with a bamboo flute accompaniment." Xu Yi reminded her.
"I'll borrow a bamboo flute from the owner and let you hear the accompaniment."
The campus belle looked surprised. "You even know how to play the bamboo flute?"
"I know a little, a little..."
"Then how did you know the owner had a bamboo flute?"
"Isn't there a certificate of honor hanging on the wall?"
A moment later, Xu Yi borrowed a flute and familiarized himself with it.
"Listen carefully to the accompaniment and see whether it suits your singing."
"Okay." The campus belle's beautiful eyes curved into lovely crescents, her expression full of anticipation.
The next second, he played an immensely ethereal, xianxia-style Sword of the Immortal.
Campus Belle: "??"
"The lyrics are about sad love, right? This tune doesn't seem suitable."
Xu Yi looked a little embarrassed. "Sorry, this is another song."

"You have other original songs too?!"
"I know a little..."
Xu Yi started playing again.
A sense of primordial desolation and brokenness surged toward them.
Ai Xiaoxing widened her eyes. "What song is this? It's making my hair stand on end."
Damn, how did I end up playing the Desolate Emperor's March?
"Wait a moment. Let me recall it. I have too many songs, so it's easy to mix them up for a while."
Next, Why Did You Sing appeared from the flute.
Welcome, Yiling Patriarch~
"It's still not right... Let's try again."
Like a Dream~
The Frontier~
"Damn, how did Lanting Xu come out too?"
After that, Xu Yi played more than a dozen songs in succession. Every intro was enough to leave the campus belle utterly shaken.
But none of them was Myth of Stars and Moon.

The campus belle's pink lips parted slightly. Her expression was blank, radiating deep disbelief.
"These, these... Xu Yi, are all of these your original songs?"
"What? Do you want to learn?"
Ai Xiaoxing instantly grew excited. "Can I really?"
"Learn Myth of Stars and Moon well first. Trying to learn too much at once will leave you mastering none of it."
Ai Xiaoxing looked a little disappointed. "But you haven't played its melody yet."
"I just couldn't remember it for the moment. But it doesn't matter. Let's go to the recording studio first. I might remember it once we get there."
"Huh? So soon..."
Ai Xiaoxing gazed at the man before her with admiration.
A man who loved music couldn't be half bad.
But the campus belle had clearly overthought it. Xu Yi's eyes were filled entirely with longing for one million yuan.
At that moment, the two military and political bigshots watching the livestream took a deep breath. They both saw admiration and surprise in the other's eyes.
Fang Tang sighed. "This child's talent is astonishing. Looking across the entire entertainment industry, he's absolutely one of the best."
Pride appeared in Zhang Mu's eyes. "Of course. His father was my most outstanding soldier. If it hadn't been for that accident, he'd probably be a regiment commander by now."
Fang Tang nodded. "After he graduates, I can arrange for him to join the broadcasting and television bureau..."
"Hmph~ You're trying to poach my man, aren't you? With talent like this, he'll have better prospects developing in the military."
Fang Tang fell silent, unsure who had said that no one had the right to interfere with his development.
As expected, even bigshots played favorites!

Where did all these Emotion Points come from?
Xu Yi looked toward the campus belle and found her so happy she could hardly contain herself. She hugged the lyrics and started memorizing them.
Xu Yi looked toward the shop owner again. He was making tomato-fried tomatoes.
It couldn't be him either...
Xu Yi looked out the window and noticed that a Ferrari had somehow parked at the entrance.
When it saw Xu Yi looking over, its window quickly rolled up.
Xu Yi: Oh~ I get it now. So it's the little simp...
Inside the car, Zheng Qian's face twisted viciously. He slammed both fists against the steering wheel.
"Damn it, what country bumpkin dares to hit on the woman I like? Butler, what do you think I should do?"
The butler's expression turned ruthless. "How about we... take care of him?"
Zheng Qian slapped the butler on the head. "Take care of your ass! I'll take care of you first.
"Don't you know this is a law-based society? Do you have any idea how terrifying the influence of self-media is?"
"Then, Young Master, should we find someone to threaten him? If that kid refuses to submit, we can beat him up afterward. We have people at the police station anyway."
"I told you, this is a law-based society. Shit, this kid is a piece of shit! Why is the campus belle smiling at him? Boo-hoo-hoo... She's barely ever said more than a few words to me."
"What should we do, Young Master?"
"Damn it, she even applauded him! Butler, find someone to kill him. Tell Old Mo I feel like eating fish."
"Young Master, this is a law-based society."
Smack, smack~
Two more slaps landed on the butler's head. "I'm the young master here. Are you the young master?"
Zheng Qian's expression turned vicious. "Anyone who dares flirt with the woman I like has to die! Butler, investigate him. I want you to dig up his scandals and have the internet tear him apart."
"Understood."
Although the butler wasn't very clever, he was highly efficient. After making several phone calls, Xu Yi's information appeared on his phone.
"Well, Butler? Did you dig up any scandals?"
The butler's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. He stared blankly at the screen and stammered, "That won't work, Young Master. The more we dig, the more famous he gets."
"Huh???"
Zheng Qian snatched the phone and looked at the screen. His expression instantly froze.
"His father is a First-Class Merit hero, his mother is Angel Against the Current, and his elder brother is an Anti-drug Hero..."
Famous—too famous!
That, combined with my yellow-minded brain, made a sacred flag~
"Young Master, they're coming out."
"Follow them later."
"Xu Yi, you've even bought a car? A Porsche 911." The campus belle looked somewhat surprised.
Xu Yi made no attempt to hide it. "My little sister bought it for me. She even gave me a 4S dealership. I told her I didn't want it, but she got upset. My little sister is just too rebellious..."
Campus Belle: "..."
"If you don't want that sister, give her to me!"
Xu Yi floored the accelerator and launched forward.
Xu Yi glanced at the rearview mirror. The Ferrari had started up as well.
A playful smile tugged at the corners of Xu Yi's lips. He wanted to see what this simp was planning.
"Xu Yi, isn't the recording studio here yet? You've been driving around for an hour."
"No rush. I'm playing with the car behind us first."
When Ai Xiaoxing saw the Ferrari behind them, anger surfaced on her pretty face.
"Why is this idiot here again? He's like a ghost that won't leave..."
"You know him?"
"Yeah, a clown. He pesters me whenever he has nothing better to do, throwing his weight around because his family has a bit of dirty money."
Xu Yi laughed. So he was a rich second-generation heir.
Buddy, remember this: the goddess you can't get even in your dreams is paying me to accompany her for a meal.
One hour later~
Negative Emotion Points +50*4
Xu Yi had merely led him on a joyride, yet he had already earned a considerable number of Emotion Points.
Zheng Qian angrily leaned on the horn.
"Young Master, he seems to be deliberately leading us around."
"Damn it, do you think I can't tell? I'll make him pay..."
The Ferrari's headlights began flashing behind them.
Ai Xiaoxing looked nervous. "Xu Yi, it looks like he's going to overtake us."
"Let him. He's probably run out of patience."
The next second, the Ferrari arrogantly blared its horn, then kept edging closer to the Porsche.
Xu Yi shook his head and gave it room.
But it pushed its advantage, constantly forcing Xu Yi toward the guardrail.
The campus belle nervously gripped Xu Yi's sleeve. "Xu Yi, what do we do?"
"Don't panic. I'll find a chance to shake him off."
At that moment, a bend appeared ahead.
Xu Yi floored the accelerator, but the Ferrari accelerated too, its rear end pressed tightly against the front of Xu Yi's car.
If Xu Yi turned at that moment, the two cars would definitely collide from behind.
Xu Yi gave a cold laugh. Deliberately cutting me off, huh?
