I Remember Happy Things

"What's got you so happy, Wan Jun?"

Chen Baozhu walked back in with a smile, seeing Wang Siyi laughing while holding her phone in the living room, and asked.

"Ah! It-it's nothing."

Wang Siyi, who had been chatting "heatedly" with Li Changle, quickly put away her phone when she saw Chen Baozhu approaching, afraid she might see something.

Although Chen Baozhu was puzzled by Wang Siyi's behavior, she didn't say anything, as she had more important things to discuss with Wang Siyi.

"Get some good rest tonight, adjust your vocal condition, and start recording the song tomorrow. Ideally, we should finish recording it within three days.

Once it's recorded, apply to the company to release a new album. Although the company, in its usual fashion, won't provide any promotion for Wang Siyi, I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years and have some connections.

Plus, Director Huang Wenchuan's new movie is set to be released in a month, so the promotion issue for the new album is more or less resolved."

Chen Baozhu hoped the album could be recorded as soon as possible, fearing the company might pull some more disgusting stunts.

Given Chen Zhiyuan's personality, it was hard to say. Chen Baozhu hadn't even let anyone at Xinyi Huyou know that Wang Siyi had returned to Shanghai yet.

The plan was to catch the company off guard. Once the application was submitted, Chen Zhiyuan would have no choice but to sign it; refusing to sign would mean the company was in breach of contract.

In that case, Wang Siyi could take the money and leave the company for a bigger one. Why not? She would win either way. The enemy is in the open, I am in the dark. This advantage is mine!

Chen Baozhu appeared very confident.

"Wan Jun, try to get the song 'Red Bean' recorded in the next few days. I've already arranged for a producer for you – Teacher Yang Caiqian, the same one from last time."

"He's a bit resentful that Xinyi snatched the song he gave you last time, but he truly appreciates your talent. That's why I pleaded with him again this time. I showed him the demo of 'Red Bean,' and without a second thought, he volunteered to be the producer for this album."

Chen Baozhu said to Wang Siyi with a smile, looking very happy.

"Really? Teacher Yang Caiqian is being so magnanimous? I never expected that. I actually felt quite sorry for him."

Wang Siyi still looked embarrassed. She had really liked that song, but it was a shame the company had played her.

Yang Caiqian was quite a famous musician, and most importantly, he was versatile. Apart from singing, he had handled almost the entire workflow of a song, from inspiration to release.

He could write lyrics and compose music, and he was a well-known album producer. For Wang Siyi, having him produce her album was the best possible outcome.

In fact, most of the songs on this album had already been recorded. Some were songs the company had collected for her previously, and others were ones Chen Baozhu had acquired from other musicians.

Only the final title track hadn't been decided until Li Changle wrote "Red Bean," which finally completed all the songs for the album.

Now that the producer was secured and promotional resources were ready, they were just waiting for the songs to be recorded and released. Both Wang Siyi and Chen Baozhu were very confident about this album, primarily due to their confidence in the song "Red Bean."

"Hey, Teacher Yang Caiqian is a reasonable person. He didn't turn me away when I visited him specifically. When I showed him this song, he was astonished and immediately said it was the best lyric he had ever seen."

"He has only one request for producing your album this time: he hopes to meet the person who wrote this song and have a chat. So, I'll have to trouble you to invite your friend over. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Chen Baozhu said to Wang Siyi with a face full of smiles.

Wang Siyi nodded, but she wasn't sure if Li Changle would come. She also really wanted to see him. They had only parted ways that morning, yet she felt like she hadn't seen him in ages.

Anyway, he would need to sign the authorization for the movie's theme song soon, and there was also this favor from Yang Caiqian. Getting him to come over shouldn't be a big issue. It's just that when she last asked him if he planned to come to Shanghai, he seemed quite resistant.

She frowned her beautiful eyebrows and replied to Chen Baozhu with uncertainty:

"I'll ask his willingness first. We'll discuss it later."

"You absolutely must get him to come! I've already agreed on your behalf with Director Huang Wenchuan and Teacher Yang Caiqian, my little princess."

"I-I'll try my best."

Chen Baozhu agreed reluctantly and then told her to hurry up and take a bath and rest.

Wang Siyi breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to her room. She took out her phone, the screen still on the chat window with Li Changle. He had sent her several messages.

"Where are you?"

"What are you doing?"

"Are you busy?"

It seemed he only stopped sending messages after he was sure Wang Siyi was genuinely occupied. Wang Siyi's lips curved slightly as she looked at Li Changle's triple question. This dummy was finally getting a little smarter.

"I was talking to my agent just now and didn't see my phone."

She replied simply and didn't say anything further. Wang Siyi was thinking about how to reasonably get him to come to Shanghai.

A few minutes later, Li Changle replied.

"Oh, I was writing a novel just now. It's going to be released tomorrow."

Wang Siyi knew Li Changle was writing his second novel, but she hadn't had a chance to read it yet. She hadn't been in the mood to read novels lately, even ones written by Li Changle.

But now that she had made up her mind, she was going to be busy and probably wouldn't have much time to read. She seemed to recall hearing them chat at dinner about him wanting to write a wuxia novel?

Wang Siyi wasn't particularly interested in wuxia novels. If Li Changle hadn't written it, she probably wouldn't have even glanced at it.

"Your song 'Red Bean' has been noticed by a director, and they want to use it as the theme song. I've agreed on your behalf. You'll need to authorize the theme song, and you'll receive 100,000 yuan as copyright fees. Do you have time to come to Shanghai?"

Wang Siyi finally decided to be direct. She wasn't sure if he would agree and felt a bit nervous and anxious. What if he refused to come?

"Oh, okay. When?"

Li Changle's reply was surprisingly straightforward. He directly asked Wang Siyi about the timing.

This completely stumped Wang Siyi. Wasn't he always resistant to coming to Shanghai? Why did he agree so readily? Could it be that he also wanted to see her?

She felt a little happy and quickly typed on her phone:

"Didn't you always hate coming to Shanghai? Why did you agree so readily?"

"When did I ever hate going to Shanghai?"

Li Changle was stunned. When had he ever shown any aversion to Shanghai? He shouldn't have. Was this woman dreaming?

"I asked you before if you'd considered coming to Shanghai, and you looked so disgusted then."

Wang Siyi was still clearly indignant about this. She had asked him so directly.

Of course, she hoped he would consider coming to Shanghai, but he had retorted by asking why she wanted to go there, which had infuriated her.

"That's different. I can go to Shanghai to play, or on a business trip, but I can't live or work there."

"Why?"

Wang Siyi asked, confused.

"I don't want to be a wage slave. What's good about being exploited by capitalism? That godforsaken place, Shanghai, where you work from nine to nine every day, that's considered good. Even if I'm not working, the pace of life is so fast, there's no sense of living at all, and it's so far from home. What's the point of that place?"

Li Changle explained that he didn't want to be a wage slave, let alone live in a place filled with the blood and tears of wage slaves.

Wang Siyi suddenly understood and felt it made a lot of sense. She hadn't thought much of Shanghai before, but ever since she had lived in Yangcheng with Li Changle for a while.

She realized that he truly knew how to enjoy life. He insisted on cooking for himself every day, living a leisurely life.

This was almost impossible to see in Shanghai. She didn't know how, at such a young age, younger than her, he knew how to live so well. Wang Siyi couldn't help but complain about Li Changle in her heart.

However, she replied on WeChat:

"What you said makes a lot of sense."

"This is the summary of my experience from two lifetimes!"

Li Changle proudly typed to brag to Wang Siyi.

"Stop bragging. Do you remember what happened in your past life?"

"I do. I dream about what happened in my past life every night?"

"I can't be bothered to listen to your bragging. I'm going to take a shower."

Wang Siyi delivered a classic line from a goddess.

Li Changle fell into thought upon seeing the words "I'm going to take a shower." Thinking of the meme from his past life, he wondered if he could still be considered a simp.

"Just kidding. How could I be a simp? I have money and looks now. What kind of girl can't I get!"

He glanced in the mirror and, through its reflection, Li Changle regained his confidence.

Half an hour later, Wang Siyi had just finished her shower. She casually put on a pair of pajamas and picked up her phone, quickly typing a message to Li Changle:

"I'm done showering."

Li Changle couldn't help but smile. Why was this woman so cute? She was done showering, so what? Why did she have to tell him? It was strange.

But he couldn't ask her that. Li Changle was also afraid. It was strange, but when he first met Wang Siyi.

He felt like she exuded coldness, her naturally aloof aura creating a ten-meter radius of presence.

So, when he first met her, he was a little afraid of her. But later, he discovered that her aloofness was just a protective shell.

She was not only thin-skinned but also timid, had a low tolerance for alcohol, disliked bitter things, hated taking medicine, and couldn't wash dishes.

The more familiar he became with her, the more he realized she was just a soft-hearted, adorable young girl, completely opposite to her outward demeanor.

Thinking of this, Li Changle couldn't help but smile. Then, after smiling, Li Changle realized a problem.

"Wait, when did I get to know her so well?"

Li Changle pondered this question for several minutes but couldn't find a good answer, so he fell into deep thought, not even replying to Wang Siyi's message.

"Just kidding. I took care of her painstakingly for two months. It's normal to understand her, isn't it? It's perfectly reasonable and logical."

Suddenly enlightened, Li Changle stopped dwelling on the issue. He noticed that half an hour had passed. Seeing that Li Changle hadn't replied, Wang Siyi had sent several messages.

"I was just thinking about something and got distracted."

"What were you thinking about?"

Wang Siyi replied instantly, as if she were staring at her phone.

"I remembered something happy."

"What happy thing?"

Although Li Changle really wanted to play along with the joke, he couldn't say the next thing, so he directly said:

"I remembered what you looked like when you were drunk that night."

Upon seeing this message, Wang Siyi's face instantly stiffened. She typed back to Li Changle, somewhat uncertainly:

"Didn't you say before that you were quiet when you were drunk?"

Quiet? It would be a miracle if you were quiet when you were drunk, Li Changle thought to himself, but he couldn't say that in his reply.

"Yes, you were very quiet. But you looked quite cute when you were drunk."

Wang Siyi's face instantly turned red. She put down her phone and rolled around on the bed a few times before getting up and picking up her phone again, remaining silent.

Instead, she sent Li Changle a "Go to hell" sticker, showing a small dog pinning another dog's neck.

"Was I drunk? Did I do anything else? Otherwise, how could you think of half an hour for so long?"

Wang Siyi focused on the key point. She still couldn't remember what happened that night, and her face flushed slightly.

She kind of wanted to know what she did when she was drunk, but she was also afraid he would say it and she would be embarrassed again.

What she was sure of was that she must have done a lot of embarrassing things that night. However, since that guy was unwilling to say, she didn't dare to ask.

But now she couldn't see him, so it didn't count as public embarrassment. She had to make him say what she did that night.

Li Changle clearly hadn't expected Wang Siyi to ask that. He froze, unsure how to reply.

"Hurry up and tell me, what did I do that night? You have to tell me everything!"

Wang Siyi's tone was very decisive. She had to maintain her momentum while her courage was still there.

"Uh, this. Maybe it's better not to say?"

"You're definitely hiding something from me!"

The clever Wang Siyi immediately discovered the problem and then sent Li Changle another "Go to hell" sticker.

Li Changle was stunned. When did Wang Siyi get so smart? This was too unbelievable.

"Are you sure you want me to say?"

Li Changle asked Wang Siyi uncertainly.

"Hurry up and say it!"

Wang Siyi was impatient. She desperately wanted to know what she had done that night.

After sending this message, she also sent a "Hurry up" sticker.

Wang Siyi had accidentally discovered stickers when Li Changle was spacing out earlier.

Then she found that stickers were even more useful than typing. They were cute and conveyed the meaning accurately. She had clearly fallen in love with sticker culture.

Thank you to the friend named Tai Wudao for the reward. It's the first reward I've received since I started writing this book, and it's very memorable~
