Filming for "At Dolphin Bay" wrapped up faster than Angela Chang had anticipated.

As soon as filming wrapped, she didn't even have time for a wrap party with the crew; she immediately boarded a flight to Yanjing.

During this period, she had read the lyrics and music faxed from Ocean Butterflies countless times.

The song was called "Happy Worship," and it had a very unique melody. She hummed the female vocal part countless times in her head.

The more she hummed it, the more suitable it seemed; the song felt tailor-made for her.

During her trip to mainland China, she brought along a junior assistant named Julie. This assistant was arranged for her by Linfair Records after her film "MVP Lover" gained some popularity this year.

The two boarded the plane smoothly. Angela Chang leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes, and tapped her fingers lightly on her knees, but her mind was in turmoil.

She's never been to Yanjing before, and she doesn't know if she'll be able to get used to it.

Who is Song Mo? Why did he find me? Is he a fan of mine?

And I heard he's a genius songwriter who'll be releasing an album soon.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little envious, since she didn't have much creative ability at the moment.

Despite having a great voice and not being particularly bright, she relies heavily on her company to find songs for her, which is a common predicament for non-singer musicians today.

The plane landed at around 2 p.m.

The sky over Yanjing was overcast and much colder than in Taipei.

She wrapped her coat tighter around herself, and the two of them dragged their suitcases out of the arrival hall. After looking around, they spotted a middle-aged man wearing glasses holding a sign that read "Angela Chang".

The two quickly went up to it.

"Miss Zhang? I'm Xu Yuan from Ocean Butterflies." The man came forward and helped them with their luggage. "Welcome to Yanjing."

"Hello, Teacher Xu," Zhang Shaohan greeted obediently.

"Do you want to go to the hotel first, or to the recording studio first?" Xu Yuan asked softly, seeing that it was still early.

"Let's go to the hotel to check in first, then we'll go to the recording studio. I'm really looking forward to this collaboration," Angela Chang said immediately after thinking for a moment.

Xu Yuan nodded and drove the two to the hotel. He had just taken a look at the girl who looked like a porcelain doll.

She looks gentle and delicate, but she seems quite opinionated. I just don't know if she can meet the requirements.

According to Xu Yuanna, the song "Happy Worship" was intended to be a radio hit to attract fans, so its quality had to be high.

He had never heard of the singer Angela Chang before, and he wouldn't have agreed if Song Mo hadn't insisted.

"I hope she won't disappoint Song Mo," Xu Yuan thought to himself.

Angela Chang arrived at the hotel and quickly checked in. Her assistant, Julie, originally wanted to go to the recording studio with her, but Angela Chang asked her to stay at the hotel and rest.

She started earning money at the age of 15, making her far more independent than the average artist. In her opinion, it's best if no one follows her.

But this was her first time visiting the mainland, and many people overseas viewed the mainland as a monster.

Although she knew those rumors were false, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. But now that she's come this far, she feels much more relaxed.

The assistant couldn't persuade her otherwise, and besides, she was indeed a bit tired after sitting in economy class for so long, so she let her go.

Xu Yuan didn't expect her to come out so quickly. "Why don't you rest for a bit? You can go to the recording studio this afternoon."

"It's okay, I'm in pretty good shape right now, and I'm also very curious about what Ocean Butterflies' recording studio is like," Angela Chang said with great interest.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan stopped trying to persuade him. "Alright, let's go to the recording studio first. They're probably there right now."

Along the way, Angela Chang looked out the car window. The streets of Yanjing were much wider than those of Taipei, and the buildings along the roadside were square and regular, completely different from the winding alleys of Taipei. However, the road conditions were about the same, both were quite congested.

The drive took half an hour, but it took the two of them nearly an hour to arrive at Ocean Butterflies. The first thing they saw was a small bungalow with a clean and tidy facade.

There were two neatly trimmed holly bushes at the entrance. Although they didn't look as grand as she had imagined, they made up for the spaciousness.

As the two entered the house, a girl with a ponytail greeted them, "Teacher Xu."

"Is Song Mo at the company?" Xu Yuan asked hurriedly.

"He and Teacher Guo are in the recording studio."

Xu Yuan nodded and led Zhang Shaohan inside. Zhang Shaohan nodded slightly to the girl with the ponytail, who smiled brightly at her, which made her feel even better.

The two walked in slowly. There were several posters in the corridor, some of A-do, some of Kit Chan, and one poster with only a black and white profile that was very eye-catching.

"Ms. Zhang, please wait here for a moment. They haven't finished recording yet. I'll go make you a cup of tea," Xu Yuan said with a smile, glancing at the still-lit recording studio.

Angela Chang nodded. "Teacher Xu, I'll look around here."

"Okay, do as you please, I'll be right back in a minute." Xu Yuan laughed heartily and nodded in agreement.

Angela Chang stood before the black and white poster she had just seen. It was a profile picture, and it was clear that her features were exceptional. The words "Song Mo" were prominently displayed below the poster. She knew in her heart that this must be the person who had specifically asked her to come.

Just then, she suddenly heard faint singing, and she couldn't help but walk over.

As soon as I reached the recording studio door, I heard singing coming from inside.

It was a male voice, a very young voice, whose timbre and melody captivated her instantly.

She had never heard this melody before, and it was completely different from "Happy Worship".

It gives a gentle and melodious feeling, as if the wind is blowing from a very far place.

"Circles and circles, day after day, year after year, I gaze intently at your face..."

Angela Chang stood at the doorway, involuntarily stopping in her tracks, and quietly continued listening.

In her opinion, the melody of the whole song was too smooth, and the lyrics were well written, with an indescribable, hazy beauty.

She couldn't help but glance inside.

The recording studio door was open, and a tall man was standing in the doorway, wearing a black hoodie, with his back to her, holding headphones and singing a song with a relaxed expression.

A man in his forties sat in front of the mixing console next to him, his brows slightly furrowed, occasionally pushing the fader on the console.

After the person finished singing the last line, the recording studio fell silent.

The man in front of the mixing console nodded: "Not bad, a bit better than the previous version. The emotion still needs to be toned down a bit, more restrained, not too intense. Shall we go into the recording studio and record it again properly?"

"Okay," the young man replied, turning around.

Angela Chang finally saw his face clearly.

She was very young, even younger than she had imagined.

He has deep facial features, thick black eyebrows, large and bright eyes, and a straight nose, making him look exceptionally clear and sunny.
