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

Xu Yi nodded as if it were obvious. "Is there a problem?"

Ai Xiaoxing froze on the spot, unable to speak for a long time.

After all, many hit songs she knew took months or even years to complete.

"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. When I'm done creating it, 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, but the Campus Belle had previously scoffed at the idea.

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

Long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, sharp eyes like swords... and an extremely carefree, confident aura.

The Campus Belle gradually became entranced.

"Why do you keep staring at me? 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~ She's probably jealous of my beauty, the lowly thing!

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

After Xu Yi's overwhelming output, Ai Xiaoxing became much more subdued.

But she still looked at Xu Yi intentionally or unintentionally.

Municipal Party Committee Office Building~

"Good morning, Secretary."

"Thank you for your hard work, Secretary."

Fang Tang responded with a beaming smile to the employees who pretended to pass by but had specifically come to greet him.

When he reached his office door, he finally curved his lips, took off his glasses, and tiredly pinched the bridge of his nose.

Everyone says this position is good, but who could understand the toil involved?

Perhaps only by climbing higher would he not feel 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, brought him great comfort.

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

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

Because someone was sitting in the chair that belonged to him.

The Discipline Inspection Commission is here?!

Who put money in my refrigerator?

No, there's no money in the refrigerator.

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

Fang Tang's mind raced through countless thoughts, and he finally exhaled slowly, stepping in, ready to face the situation calmly.

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

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 epaulet, his pupils trembling.

"Sir, you didn't even give me advance notice of your visit, so I could receive you properly."

"No need. I'm just here to see one of my soldiers' children."

Fang Tang immediately understood. This person 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 progress.

"May I ask, Elder Zhang, which department is that child currently working in?"

"He's not working anywhere; he's still a student."

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

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

Zhang Mu seemed to see through his thoughts 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 hasn't been doing very well, so I came specifically to see him. After all, the child's father sacrificed his life. We can't let a hero bleed and then shed tears, can we?"

Fang Tang echoed with a smile but felt a little uncomfortable inside.

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 promised, "Elder Zhang, please rest assured. We will not let the Son of Heroes 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 visit."

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

Fang Tang was stunned again, but seeing Zhang Mu already taking out his military-grade phone, he couldn't say anything else.

However, the moment the screen opened, both of them were stunned.

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

"What are they doing?"

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

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

Zhang Mu genuinely smiled for the first time, "Of course. You have to see who his soldier... child... is..."

Zhang Mu's expression instantly became melancholic, "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 fast? Can you really write a song?"

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

Her gaze refused to move away.

Star Moon Myth? What a beautiful name... "

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

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

"..."

"Where will you be a thousand years from now, with what scenery 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 ending be different."

"..."

Ai Xiaoxing covered her mouth, her pupils constricting.

"Such, such beautiful lyrics."

"Such a 'be' 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 streamed down her tender face.

It was clear she was moved by the lyrics.

After all, people are always sexy.

"Xu Yi, Xu Yi."

"Ah? I'm still a bit unaccustomed to you not calling me 'buddy'."

"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... my second personality wrote it."

As he spoke, he suddenly covered his right eye, his voice cold, "Amaterasu!"

Pfft~

Ai Xiaoxing suddenly burst out laughing, and the others in the restaurant were mesmerized.

"Xu Yi, you're so childish."

Look, the beautiful girl is smiling~

Almost crying, the beauty was smiling at a guy.

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

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

Campus Belle: "..."

[Is the streamer a romance insulator?]

[I tried the streamer's method to make Xiao Mei smile too, but Xiao Mei said I was a clown. Sob sob...]

[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 mouth twitched. How could he understand the things young people were into?

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