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

Chapter 359 Xie Zhiyao: In the end, I was the one who carried it all on my shoulders?
After finishing the song, Hu Youyu was just about to put down his guitar.

The doors to rooms 2 and 3 opened simultaneously, and Ma Siyi and Sun Xin walked out of the rooms at almost the same time.

Sun Xin was followed by three little ones: Sun Xiang, Lin Kesong, and Song Xiaoyu.

Once she came to her senses, Chen Xi was the first to clap, and everyone else followed suit.

Hu Youyu had seen all sorts of things in bars, but at this moment he suddenly became shy.

He even scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

The main reason is that I feel unworthy of this applause.

Hu Youyu knew very well that most of the applause was for the song itself, and had nothing to do with who sang it.

"Teacher Hu, is this your new song?"

Sun asked curiously.

Hu Youyu hurriedly waved his hand.

This is not something you can talk about casually.

Especially in front of Yang Tao and the others.

"This song was written by Mr. Yang. I just got the sheet music from the company in advance, and I only started practicing it in the last two days."

As soon as Hu Youyu finished explaining, Sun Xiang and the other two turned their gazes to Ma Siyi.

Hu Youyu and Ma Siyi are both contracted internet celebrities with Xingchen Dahai. Ma Siyi can testify whether Hu Youyu is lying.

Ma Siyi nodded, confirming that the song was indeed written by Yang Muye.

After hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder President Yang wanted to start an MCN company... His own creative work alone could support the entire company."

After Sun Xin sat down, she glanced at Yang Tao beside her. She really wanted to ask Yang Muye who this song was written for.

But seeing Yang Tao's slightly furrowed brows, he ultimately gave up on the plan.

Just then, Xia Fenghua stepped forward and took Ma Siyi's arm:
"I remember you told me last time that this song had already been given away by General Manager Yang, right?"

Just as Ma Siyi was about to speak, Hu Youyu suddenly slapped his forehead.

Before anyone could react, Hu Youyu dashed back to his room and brought out his recently purchased laptop.

After putting down the computer, he ran back into the house and pulled out a long network cable.

The domestic WIFI ban will not be lifted until next year or the year after, and the cost of wireless internet access is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Only after plugging in the network cable did Hu Youyu explain to everyone why he had brought the computer out.

He heard from Hu Ling that the video for "The Wind Rises" would be officially released at 8:30 pm tonight.

The timing is perfect.

Upon hearing Hu Youyu's words, everyone gathered around the computer.

-

Fairfield by Marriott, Room 8006.

Gao Yunyue sat at her desk with a laptop in front of her.

And a sheet music that was just printed out.

Liu Qing stood cautiously behind Gao Yunyue, and from her angle, she could see Gao Yunyue's slightly raised eyebrows.

Seemingly sensing a gaze upon her, Gao Yunyue turned her head.

"Liu Qing, what do you think of that video just now?"

"The scenery is beautiful, the performers in the video are all handsome men and beautiful women, and the music they played is also very beautiful... I think this video will go viral."

After Liu Qing finished speaking, instead of receiving Gao Yunyue's evaluation, she was handed a sheet of music.

"Take another look at this."

After taking it, Liu Qing hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Gao, I haven't studied music notation—"

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Yunyue's voice rang out first.

"I didn't ask you to look at the sheet music, just the lyrics."

Liu Qing said "Oh" and quickly scanned the lyrics.

Actually, just by looking at the lyrics, she couldn't tell whether they were good or bad; she could only roughly guess what the lyrics were trying to express.

As for Gao Yunyue's intention in showing her the lyrics, it was completely unfathomable.

Do you think this song was written by Ono for a girl?

"I guess...?" Liu Qing replied tentatively.

"But I've never heard of Ono liking any girl in high school," Gao Yunyue muttered to herself.

The fact that she said that shows she didn't consider Liu Qing an outsider.

So Liu Qing mustered up her courage and said, "President Gao, I don't think President Yang would tell you about liking a girl in the past."

“But I often talk to Ono’s homeroom teacher on the phone and specifically ask about the issue of puppy love. Ono’s homeroom teacher said that he has not found any signs of this, but there are quite a few girls in the school who secretly like Ono.”

Well--

So you're bragging to me about how popular your son was in high school, right?
Of course, Liu Qing dared not say or ask.

In order to make a good impression on Gao Yunyue, Liu Qing suggested another possibility:
"Could it be that they go to different schools, which is why the teacher didn't notice?"

Gao Yunyue nodded.

Don't say it, it's really possible.

Verifying this is also simple.

Gao Yunyue picked up her phone, which was lying to the side, and made a call.

The call connected, and the other party spoke first:
"Aunt Yue, is there something you need?"

The tone was very respectful, and the way the title was used clearly indicated that the person was related to Gao Yunyue.

"Champion, I just saw a video online. The filming location was in Yunmiao Village, and one of the girls playing the violin in it is the female lead in the movie 'Old Boy' directed by Xiao Ye... Did you know that they went to Yunmiao Village to film the video?"

“Aunt Yue, I was just about to tell you this. This afternoon, my mother called me and said that a while ago, a group of people went to Yunmiao Village to film a video. After the video was finished, a young girl who filmed the video even brought gifts to visit Grandpa Yang. I guess this is what happened.”

Gao Yunyue raised an eyebrow.

And this thing?

Do you know that little girl?

“I know her. Last time, she and another girl went back to Yunmiao Village with Mu Ye. Her name is Jiang Nansun. She is a student in the Department of Architecture at Tongji University in Shanghai. We even went to Qiangou Village to pick peaches together.”

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Yunyue's voice rang out.

"Alright, Champion, you can tell me more about your trip to Qiangou Village to pick peaches later when you have time. Now I have something very important to ask you, and you have to promise to tell me the truth."

"No problem, Aunt Yue, go ahead and ask."

Did Ono have a crush on any girl during high school?

"no."

"Sure?"

Yang Guanjun's initially confident tone immediately turned hesitant.

“Aunt Yue, as you know, Xie Qiang and I didn’t focus on our studies in high school. Mu Ye had good grades, so we didn’t spend much time with him on weekdays… How about I ask A Yao first? If there’s anything going on, he’ll definitely know.”

The balcony of the male dormitory at Central University of Finance and Economics.

Xie Zhiyao held his phone, his tone sounding very impatient:

"When Makino was in high school, he was focused on his studies. How could he have time for puppy love?"

"Nonsense, I'm with Muye every day. Do you think I wouldn't know if he likes girls? All the love letters the girls in our school write to him are delivered to Muye through me."

On the other end of the phone, Yang Guanjun scoffed at Xie Zhiyao's statement.

"You have the nerve to say that? Who was it that initially thought it was a love letter for you, Old Peacock? It turns out they just wanted you to help deliver the letter."

These words immediately ignited Xie Zhiyao's damned competitive spirit.

"It's as if I've never received a love letter."

"What's the use of receiving it? You'll still be a bachelor like me. If I had your qualities, I would have been dating some girl back in high school."

"What's the use of just regretting it here? If you want to experience what high school romance is like, why don't you go back and repeat a year?" "Forget it, I don't have the face to use my parents' hard-earned money to repeat a year and date. Besides, once Yunmiao Village is developed, I can go back and become a shop manager. Then I can go on blind dates, what kind of girl can't I find?"

Xie Zhiyao really couldn't refute that.

"Alright, stop being so narcissistic. You called me today because Aunt Yue asked you to ask, right?"

"how do you know--"

Before Yang Guanjun could finish speaking, Xie Zhiyao interrupted him impatiently, saying, "Because before you, Xie Qiang had already called me and asked about exactly the same thing as you."

Yang Guanjun then realized: "So Uncle Deyuan is also inquiring about this matter?"

"Yes, so don't rush to call Aunt Yue yet. Let me ask Muye what he has to say first."

"Okay, I'll wait for your call."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Zhiyao glanced at his phone, which was already half-charged, and then dialed Yang Muye's number.

"Missing me? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

"You think I wanted to call you? Xie Qiang and Yang Guanjun called me one after the other, both asking if you had any early relationships in high school... I don't need to explain to you why they're asking about this, do I?"

Don't you know whether I've been in a relationship since childhood?

"That's why I'm puzzled. Logically speaking, what I know, they all know, and what they know, the school teachers also know. Uncle Deyuan and Aunt Yue have always been in contact with the homeroom teacher, so they must know that you're doing fine at school. Why did they specifically send Xie Qiang and Guan Jun to ask me?"

"Jiang Nansun recently visited Yunmiao Village and filmed a video."

No sooner had Yang Muyi finished speaking than Xie Zhiyao spoke first:
"I know about this. I just received Xie Qiang's call while I was watching that video... Jiang Nansun even brought gifts to visit your grandfather, right?"

"And how did you know that?"

“My father told me that he went back to Yunmiao Village a couple of days ago and happened to run into Aunt Gui.”

"..."

Yang Muye on the other end of the phone was speechless for a moment.

If Aunt Gui finds out, then everyone in the entire Yunmiao Village should know.

Jiang Nansun was simply unlucky; when she went to visit Grandpa Yang with gifts, Aunt Gui bumped into her.

“You really can’t blame Aunt Gui for being a gossip. I heard from my dad that Uncle Deqing told this story when he was bragging to the old ladies and aunties at the village entrance.”

Xie Zhiyao's words silenced Yang Muye.

It turns out that it was his uncle who betrayed him.

Beware of everything, but it’s hard to guard against house thieves!
My uncle's gotten too cocky.

It seems I really need to find some time to call Grandpa and "get to know" him.

Xie Zhiyao's voice continued to ring out on the other end of the phone.

"I just don't understand. Jiang Nansun didn't know you in high school. She went to Yunmiao Village to film a video, and after Uncle Deyuan and Aunt Yue watched it, why did they suddenly start asking about whether you had a boyfriend in high school?"

"Did Jiang Nansun and the others play a new piece in the video?"

"Is it a new song? I didn't know, but it sounds really nice, kind of like Joe Hisaishi's style. I thought it was a Japanese song I'd never heard before—"

At this point, Xie Zhiyao suddenly stopped.

"So you wrote this song?"

"Correct."

"Are there lyrics?"

"Yes, go on QQ and I'll send it to you."

"it is good."

Xie Zhiyao had just agreed when he realized what was happening.

its not right!
Given Yang Muye's consistent behavior, he would never readily agree to anything that Yang Muye wanted.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
"Wait a minute, why do I feel like you're setting a trap for me?"

"Congratulations, you got it!"

"No, you need to explain yourself clearly!"

Xie Zhiyao's attitude was very firm.

They're trying to pin everything on me. Don't I have any dignity?
“I have a friend who liked a girl from his hometown when he was young, but unfortunately he couldn’t be with her in the end. Years later, he returned to his hometown and met that girl again by chance… Later, he told me this story, and I was moved to write this song to reminisce about the beauty of youth.”

"..."

Xie Zhiyao was speechless for a moment.

Are you trying to make up friends out of thin air again?
"What friend? I don't know anything about them."

"You don't need to know, because you are now my friend."

"..."

I have something I'm hesitant to say, but I'm not sure if I should.

Just as he was complaining in his heart, Yang Muye's voice rang out.

"Don't worry, you won't do this for nothing. As long as you agree to take the blame, I can grant you one request later."

"Anything is okay?"

"Nonsense, of course not. Whether I agree or not depends on my mood."

This translates to:

You can ask, but I might not agree.

"Then you should find someone else who's better!"

Xie Zhiyao resolutely refused.

"Okay, I was just kidding. With our relationship, if you ask, do you think I wouldn't help?"

That's more or less.

Xie Zhiyao switched hands to hold the phone.

“I would like to help you, but your friend’s experience doesn’t fit me. I’ve been away from Yunmiao Village for less than a hundred days, and I even went back once during that time. How do I explain returning to my hometown after so many years?”

"It's simple. Just say that you liked a girl in high school. Later, her parents changed jobs and she transferred to a school in Kunming. You thought you would never see each other again, but unexpectedly, you met again by chance after the college entrance examination."

"Then?"

"That's all. You were feeling melancholy about the reunion, so you came to talk to me. I wrote this song because of my feelings."

"You've crafted this story so skillfully, did you already plan to make me take the blame?"

"Did you just find out?"

"Is it too late for me to refuse now?"

"There's still time. Even if you refuse to help, I will never tell Uncle Siping that you had a deep crush on a girl in high school... Guess whether Uncle Siping believes me or you?"

Xie Zhiyao decisively admitted defeat.

Before hanging up, he asked one last question.

"So how exactly did you come up with the idea to write this song?"

Yang Muyi did not answer immediately, but instead asked Xie Zhiyao a question.

Do you have any regrets about your high school years?

"Are you trying to trick me again? Aside from the relationship, there are still some regrets in other aspects."

"For example, never having scored higher than me on a test?"

"Friendship over, goodbye!"

Xie Zhiyao was about to hang up the phone when he finished speaking.

"Look, you're in a hurry again... I'm different from you. My biggest regret in high school was not having a proper relationship, so I can only express my regret in a song."

Are you satisfied with this reason now?

Hey!
Xie Zhiyao promptly hung up the phone.
