The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 311 Zhu Suosuo: This is definitely a very "perfunctory" song.

While Jiang Nansun was still hesitating, Zhu Suosuo took it upon herself to send a message to Yang Muye.

"exist?"

After waiting for a while, Yang Muye finally replied.

"Playing games, what are you doing?"

Zhu Suosuo knew about this; Yang Muye had previously tagged Bei Weiwei in the group chat, inviting her to play games online.

"How much longer until you're done?"

"It'll probably take another half hour. I just finished the dungeon. What's up? Tell me, I'm free right now."

Zhu Suosuo blinked hard to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

What do you mean you're free? Shouldn't you be busy playing games right now?

Yang Muye wasn't lying; he was genuinely bored.

In the dungeon, Bei Weiwei carried four others, dealing with both the boss and the mobs, while Yang Muye and the other three were responsible for shouting "6" in the YY voice chat.

This time, Ye Luming organized the gathering and persuaded Sheng Zhening and Bao Yifan to join.

Sheng Zhe Ning originally planned to invite Xia Cheng Si along as well, considering it their first team-building activity as the four Panda boys.

Xia Chengsi replied directly, "No time."

Sheng Zhe Ning tried to cover for Xia Cheng Si on YY, but Ye Lu Ming exposed him, saying that Xia Cheng Si had posted a video online today of himself playing the violin with his sister.

They hired a lot of online trolls to run ads and even got featured on the website's trending topics.

The group of five was reduced to four and one was missing, so Yang Muye called Bei Weiwei over.

That's the one good thing about internet-addicted girls; they might not have time for anything else.

But when it comes to playing games, Bei Weiwei is always available whenever asked.

Among the five campus beauties who served as experience officers for "Dreaming of Jianghu," Bei Weiwei is definitely a model of dedication.

After logging into the game, Yang Muye received three friend requests.

The first two IDs look familiar.

"The most affectionate person in Jiangnan" is Ye Luming, and "The dream of a girl after drinking" is Sheng Zhe Ning.

The only one whose username is "If you're not handsome, you can call the police" is unknown.

I only found out it was Bao Yifan after I added him.

The four of them first formed a team in the game, and then started the dungeon together after Bei Weiwei came online.

As a result, halfway through the dungeon, Ye Luming, Sheng Zhe Ning, and Bao Yi Fan kept making jokes in their voice chat, while Yang Muye was already yawning from sleepiness.

Just then, Zhu Suosuo sent a message on QQ. Yang Muye set his game character to auto-follow, switched out of the game, and focused on chatting with Zhu Suosuo.

Did you know that Nan Sun has been learning the violin recently?

"I've heard her mention it."

"Nan Sun's teacher is a sophomore at Moyin University named Pei Shi, who is quite famous at their school."

"School beauty?"

"Do all you guys only care about looks?"

It's not like you girls don't care about looks.

Without a beautiful appearance, who cares if your soul is interesting?

Yang Muye typed while complaining:
"That means he's just average-looking."

"What do you mean by average-looking? Nan Sun showed me a picture; she's quite a pretty girl."

"and then?"

"She wrote a piece herself, which she originally planned to play as a violin duet with Nan Sun and record a video to post online. Unexpectedly, her roommate secretly recorded the piece and sold it to her nemesis on Moyin."

"Her arch-rival preemptively claimed that piece of music for himself?"

"No, the other party played the song first and posted it online. It's like you wrote a song, and someone else published it online without permission, misleading everyone into thinking that they were the original singer."

Zhu Suosuo sent a long message in one go.

Yang Muye thought it was a big deal
And that's it?
Whether it's the original singer or not is completely unimportant to Yang Muye.

The important thing is who owns the copyright to the song.

If the other party only got the first release and you own the copyright, you can just sue them for infringement.

Zhu Suosuo followed her back and said a long passage:
"Her arch-rival's family has a lot of influence. They directly bribed her roommate to take all the blame for stealing the song. If she goes to court, she can only sue that roommate. There's nothing she can do against her arch-rival."

Yang Muye typed as he read:

"Is that song important to her?"

"Of course, do you think everyone is like you, writing songs is as easy as buying a head of cabbage at the supermarket?"

"To offer unsolicited favors, do you know what the next part is?"

"roll!"

Zhu Suosuo sent an angry emoji.

"I was just using an example. In any case, that song is really important to her. Now that the premiere is gone, even Nan Sun feels it's a real pity."

Yang Muye's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed a line of text:

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'It's not scary to wear the same outfit as someone else, it's embarrassing for the one who looks worse'? If she lost the first release, so be it. If she really can't swallow this, she can record a more perfect version herself, one that crushes the other in every way. Wouldn't that get her revenge?"

Zhu Suosuo retorted sharply:
"Have you ever heard the saying 'first impressions last'? And is it possible that her arch-rival's video was of a very high standard in all aspects, making it very difficult for her to surpass it?"

Yang Muye quickly typed a reply: "Since that piece of music is so suitable for her nemesis, why don't you ask Jiang Nansun to persuade her to sell that piece of music to her nemesis at a high price? If she can't get fame, then she can only seek profit."

Zhu Suosuo immediately sent a thumbs-up emoji.

“That makes sense! Nansun and I both think so, but the problem is she can’t swallow this insult!”

Yang Muye suddenly sent a message:
What is her family's financial situation like?

Although Zhu Suosuo was completely confused, she immediately replied:

"They're worse off than me, but also happier."

Yang Muyi immediately sent a GIF of a "black guy with a question mark face".

Zhu Suosuo's reply was self-righteous:

"Her parents both died, isn't that worse than mine? She was adopted by her father's friend, and her adoptive mother treats her like her own daughter, isn't that happier than me?"

"So what you're trying to say is?"

"I don't know whether her family is well-off or not."

Zhu Suosuo responded with a shrug emoji.

To say that Pei Shi comes from a good family is an exaggeration; she is an orphan.

To say that Pei Shi's family is poor is an exaggeration; her adoptive mother's family is better off than 99% of families nationwide.

It's hard to comment.

Yang Muye originally asked Pei Shi about her family background, intending to reply with, "If you have money, you can do whatever you want; if you don't, you have to accept your fate."

Zhu Suosuo's words left Yang Muyi speechless.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhu Suosuo finally revealed her true intentions:
“Nan Sun and Pei Shi got along very well and wanted to help her. So we put our heads together and came up with a way that would allow Pei Shi to vent her anger while also benefiting her.”

"you two?"

"What, you look down on me?"

"Watch your tone of voice. Is this how you ask for a favor?" Yang Muye's words hit the nail on the head.

I beg you—

Zhu Suosuo typed half of the character, then deleted it all at the end.

Okay, so she's here to ask for a favor.

"Have you guessed it?"

Zhu Suosuo had already admitted it, but Yang Muye pretended to be stupid again.

What did I guess?

Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?
Zhu Suosuo, unable to contain her anger, directly threw out her "trump card":
"You owed Nan Sun a favor from last time when you asked her to play the school beauty."

Just as I finished typing and was about to press send, Yang Muye sent a message first.

"We're about to fight the dungeon boss, so I'm going to hang up now."

My QQ status then changed to "busy".

When Zhu Suosuo sent a message to question her, it became a fixed, automated reply.

Zhu Suosuo was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode. She immediately sent a message to Jiang Nansun, complaining about Yang Muye's passive resistance to work.

Jiang Nansun was still typing.

Yang Muye suddenly sent two documents in one go.

It consists of one image and one MP3 file.

Just as Zhu Suosuo was about to accept the file transfer, Yang Muye canceled it.

Then a message came in.

"Sorry, I sent it to the wrong person."

Zhu Suosuo was typing, preparing to curse Yang Muye, when Jiang Nansun replied to her message.

"Yang Muyi sent me a musical score and an MP3 file."

Zhu Suosuo then realized that she had misunderstood Yang Muye.

However, he still refused to admit defeat verbally.

"Listen to it first. If it's sent so quickly, it might be something he wrote to fill space. Don't be fooled by him."

Jiang Nansun replied immediately.

"Uh-huh."

Zhu Suosuo raised her hands in front of the computer and stretched her neck.

"I'll go wash up first, and then you can tell me what I think."

After sending the message, Zhu Suosuo got up and left.
It was more than half an hour before she sat back down at the computer.

The lights in the dorm are almost out.

Fortunately, Yanjingmao only turns off the lights at night, without interrupting the power or internet. This alone is enough to make more than 90% of college students across the country envious.

Zhu Suosuo moved the mouse to cancel the screensaver and found that the QQ chat window was still showing Jiang Nansun's last reply to her:
"it is good!"

The message was sent half an hour ago, why is there still no response?

Zhu Suosuo glanced at Jiang Nansun's profile picture, which was still lit up.

She and Jiang Nansun both set themselves to invisible, indicating that Jiang Nansun is still online at this moment.

Zhu Suosuo quickly typed and asked:
"What, haven't you finished listening yet?"

After the message was sent, Jiang Nansun should have replied immediately upon seeing it.

But it didn't.

Zhu Suosuo waited patiently for a while, but Jiang Nansun still did not reply.

At this moment, Zhu Suosuo realized that something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone and dialed Jiang Nansun's number.

In the bedroom.

Jiang Nansun sat in front of the computer, but held a Sony MP3 player in his hand, wearing headphones, and was listening intently with his eyes closed.

The phone that was placed to the side suddenly started buzzing and vibrating.

Jiang Nansun suddenly opened his eyes, took off his headphones, and picked up his phone.

Seeing that it was Zhu Suosuo calling, he decisively... hung up!
Mobile roaming fees are quite expensive, and they're charged in both directions.

Jiang Nansun wasn't worried about his own phone bill; he was mainly trying to save Zhu Suosuo's money.

After putting down his phone, Jiang Nansun immediately replied to Zhu Suosuo on QQ.

"Sorry, I downloaded the song to my MP3 player and was wearing headphones, so I didn't notice your message."

"It's nothing, I was just worried about you, so I called... Is that song nice?"

Jiang Nansun's fingers hovered over the keyboard, unsure how to reply.

However, Zhu Suosuo's words reminded Jiang Nansun of something else.

Jiang Nansun moved the mouse, dragged the MP3 file into the dialog box, and sent it directly to Zhu Suosuo.

"Put on your headphones and listen to it yourself, but remember not to share it with anyone else."

While clicking to receive the file, Zhu Suosuo typed a joke to Jiang Nansun:

"What, are you worried that someone in my dorm might be stealing songs too?"

Others may not know, but Yang Muye's songs must have been copyrighted before being released to others.

Zhu Suosuo was absolutely certain of this.

"You'll understand when you hear it. I'm a bit busy right now, we'll talk later."

After sending the message, Jiang Nansun stood up from his computer, grabbed his MP3 player and headphones, and hurriedly left the room.

Upon arriving at the guest room door, Jiang Nansun gently knocked.

"Boom boom boom!"

Footsteps sounded from inside, and soon the door opened.

Pei Shi, who had just changed into her spare pajamas, looked at Jiang Nansun with a puzzled expression.

"Nan Sun, it's so late, why are you still—"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Nansun happily interrupted him.

"Pei Shi, I have some good news to tell you."

Pei Shi stepped aside and invited Jiang Nansun in.

"What good news."

Jiang Nansun stepped forward and took Pei Shi's hands:
"Are you really not going to play 'The Devil's Lament' anymore?"

Pei Shi raised her head:
"What, you want to persuade me again?"

Jiang Nansun shook his head.

"If you're sure you won't play that piece again, would you like to try a new one?"

A new song?
Pei Shi looked puzzled and was about to speak when Jiang Nansun directly stuffed one earphone into Pei Shi's ear, put the other earphone in his own ear, and then pressed the play button on the MP3.

As soon as the piano intro began, Pei Shi couldn't help but frown.

Ordinary people might not be able to tell the difference, but for Pei Shi, who studied musical instruments professionally and grew up listening to Ke Ze play the piano, this piano sound synthesized by music editing software was simply "unbearable".

It's like a machine reading without any emotion; it just sounds awkward no matter how you listen to it.

Pei Shi wanted to bring it up right then and there, but seeing Jiang Nansun's focused expression as he prepared to listen to the music, she forcibly held back.

Let's listen to it for now.

After enduring a rather emotionless piano intro, Pei Shi was surprised to find that the intro melody of the song was surprisingly beautiful.

When that clear and story-filled male voice rang out, Pei Shi was even more amazed.

"I stopped and walked along the way, following the traces of the young man's drifting."

"I hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the station."

"I can't help but laugh at this feeling of trepidation upon approaching home, which is still unavoidable."

"And the sky in Dali is still so warm, the wind brings back memories of the past."

With just a few lines of lyrics, the immersive experience of the scene is immediately apparent.

Pei Shi, like Jiang Nansun beside her, couldn't help but close her eyes.

"When I first came to know this world, I was captivated by everything."

"Looking at the horizon as if it were right in front of me, I would be willing to go through fire and water to walk it once."

"Now that I have walked through this world, I am lingering over all things."

"Turning over the different facets of time, your smile unexpectedly bursts into view."

This unexpected high note made Pei Shi feel as if her skull had been suddenly ripped open, and her soul was carried straight to the sky by the song.

"I was once captivated by the vastness of the world, and I was also intoxicated by the sweet words spoken within it."

"Don't distinguish between truth and falsehood, don't struggle, and don't fear ridicule."

"I once poured my youth into her, and I once played the summer with my fingertips."

"Let your heart guide you, and let things take their course."

……

"I finally returned my youth to her, along with the summer that my fingertips played."

"What the heart desires, it goes with the wind."

"In the name of love, are you still willing?"
