Huayu, my cheat code is a bit strange.

Chapter 57 A Little Bit of Luck (Please read on, please recommend, please do everything!)

Seeing Chi Shuai jumping around like he was afraid the world wouldn't be chaotic enough, Gu Xiao felt annoyed.

He understood the other person's intention to lift him up, but he genuinely disliked this method.

"Can you play the piano?"

Liu Yifei also became interested, her bright eyes sparkling, and she gently tugged at his sleeve, "Play a song!"

Even the usually quiet Shu Chang looked at him curiously.

Surrounded by the crowd, Gu Xiao looked at their expectant faces and sighed helplessly.

He did study with Tao Yu and others in the recording studio for a while, and he can still play basic chords.

"Just sing a verse."

Gu Xiao glared at Chi Shuai, then walked towards the grand piano in the corner of the lobby amidst a small cheer.

As soon as he sat down at the piano, Chi Shuai started to argue relentlessly:

"If you sing a song, you should sing the whole song. What's the point of singing just a part?"

While testing the sound, Gu Xiao retorted, "You're really pushing your luck, aren't you?"

He warned, "This is a film set!"

"You guys still know this is a film set?"

A mocking voice suddenly broke in; it wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the corner.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that You Jianming had also strolled over at some point. He was standing leisurely on the periphery of the crowd with his arms crossed, looking at them with a half-smile on his face.

Gu Xiao's hand paused slightly on the piano keys.

Chi Shuai's smile froze for a moment, then instantly turned obedient: "President You."

Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, and the other girls subconsciously composed themselves and stood up a little straighter.

You Jianming's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Gu Xiao, a faint smile still playing on his lips:
"Sing on, why did you stop? I'd like to hear what kind of song could excite you so much."

He added slowly, "If you don't sing well, I'll deduct your pay for disrupting the film set!"

Gu Xiao was speechless. She looked up at You Jianming and said, "President You, you're abusing your power!"

You Jianming raised an eyebrow slightly, crossed his arms, and looked at him leisurely: "What, you're not convinced?"

Gu Xiao choked, and replied irritably, "You really don't mind making a scene, do you? Aren't you afraid it will affect the filming later?"

Watching the interaction between the two, the onlookers secretly exchanged glances and silently gave Gu Xiao a thumbs up in their hearts—it was the first time they had ever seen someone dare to talk to a producer like that.

At the same time, everyone thought to themselves: The relationship between the two is indeed extraordinary!
You Jianming smiled and waved his hand: "Just one song, consider it a warm-up for the grand birthday banquet performance later, to liven up the atmosphere."

"Good good!!!"

Chi Shuai clapped wildly, shamelessly flattering You Jianming, "I knew President You was a good boss who cared about his subordinates!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Gu Xiao shook her head speechlessly, knowing that there was no way to avoid it today.

He took a deep breath and gently placed his fingertips on the black and white piano keys.

A crisp prelude flowed out, carrying a faint sense of youthful innocence and nostalgia.

I heard raindrops falling on the green grass.
I heard the school bell ringing in the distance.
But I didn't hear your voice.
“Be serious, call my name.”
Gu Xiao's clear voice echoed in the lobby, and the lyrics she sang depicted the innocent and throbbing feelings of youth.

Those closest to the event are mostly young people, and even though their experiences differ, they are all more or less reminded of their own hazy memories of their student days.

The crowd, who had been laughing and joking, gradually quieted down.

Liu Yifei stared blankly at the focused profile of the man sitting at the piano.

Shu Chang unconsciously clasped his hands together in front of him, his bright eyes sparkling with admiration.

"It turns out you are the luck I most want to keep."
"It turns out we were once so close to love."
That was my decision to stand against the world.
"The rain that got soaked with me."
Every scene is a testament to your pure and untainted heart.
In the chorus, the melody becomes more expansive and affectionate.

A hint of melancholy crept into Gu Xiao's voice. You Jianming crossed his arms, his playful expression gone, replaced by a serious scrutiny.

The sounds of piano and singing flowed gently from a corner of the lobby.

As the rhythm reached its climax, Xiao Jiu suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

With two thin twigs in its mouth, it climbed up Gu Xiao's trouser leg, leaped onto his shoulder, and finally landed steadily on the piano stand.

To everyone's astonishment, the little guy gripped the branch as if it were a cheering stick, swaying his body to the rhythm.

"puff--!"

I don't know who couldn't help but burst out laughing first.

This unexpected interlude diluted the sadness brought by the song, making the atmosphere light and pleasant.

Gu Xiao's singing continued, but a helpless smile flickered in her eyes.

Several photographers, witnessing this harmonious scene, couldn't resist taking out their equipment to record it.

As the song continued, Xiao Jiu's "cheering" became more and more enthusiastic, and his fluffy tail swayed gently with the rhythm, making everyone laugh.

"I hope it's in the horizon I can't see."
You have spread your wings.
Meeting you was destined.
"How lucky she will be."

As the singing faded, the last note on the piano keys fell softly, its lingering melody echoing gently in the hall.

"it is good!!!"

Chi Shuai was the first to clap his hands enthusiastically, his face flushed with excitement. "It's so beautiful! Gu Xiao, you wrote an amazing song!"

A round of enthusiastic applause followed, and everyone looked at Gu Xiao with amazement.

Liu Yifei moved closer to Gu Xiao, her eyes sparkling: "What's the name of this song?"

"A little bit of luck."

Gu Xiao answered softly, and casually pulled Xiao Jiu, who was still posing smugly on the piano stand, back to her.

Amid applause and exclamations of praise, You Jianming stepped forward and exclaimed in amazement:
"Great! You've accomplished something big without making a sound!"

Gu Xiao stroked Xiao Jiu, who was still squirming excitedly in her arms, and said:

"This isn't even a semi-finished product."

You Jianming stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed:

"Would you like me to recommend a few music companies? I have some connections in Hong Kong and Taiwan."

Upon hearing this, the surroundings instantly fell silent. Chen Kun's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he secretly clenched his fist in his sleeve.

Gu Xiao smiled calmly and declined:

"Mr. You, shouldn't we start preparing to film the birthday banquet scene now? If we delay any longer, the lighting will be bad."

You Jianming gave Gu Xiao a deep look, but didn't insist.

He turned around, clapped his hands, and his voice regained its producer's authority, "The show's over! Everyone to your positions, get ready to start!"

The crowd dispersed instantly, like the receding tide, and the actors returned to their positions. Makeup artists and stylists came forward again for a final check and touch-ups.

Gu Xiao watched You Jianming's retreating figure and shook her head helplessly.

He turned his head and found Liu Yifei still standing next to him, looking at him with bright eyes.

"What?" Gu Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Liu Yifei pursed her lips and said softly, "This is a love song."

Gu Xiao was confused. "So?"

Liu Yifei raised her chin slightly, "Who did you write it to?"
