I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 271 Once upon a time, there was someone who loved you for a long time.

The communication between Principal Wang and the dean is not something that can be resolved simply by reaching a conclusion. For the Central South Conservatory of Music, which ranks third in China, being publicly criticized is no small matter. Even if the school reacts quickly, it still needs to hold a meeting to discuss how to respond.

At that very moment, Ye Xian's new song was released.

Ai Lele, Hua Yuyu, and other popular singers who were criticized without being named by the Royal Observer all turned on Kuaiyin (a Chinese music streaming platform) accompanied by their agents.

July 23, 17:00.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Xian. I'm a full-time seller, a part-time cook, an occasional singer, a storyteller, and sometimes an actor."

"Lately, I've been getting a lot of teasing about my love song writing skills. What I really want to say is that I don't write many love songs, mainly because I don't want people to misunderstand."

A first-person, horizontal shot with the sound of pouring rain. The scene transitions from darkness to light, with intense sunlight filtering through the leaves.

After the rain, the sky cleared, and Ye Xian was playing the cello under a big tree.

The camera pans up, through the swaying leaves, and two large white handwritten characters appear on the azure sea.

"Sunny weather"

Small print below: Lyrics/Music/Singing by Ye Xian

The camera pans down, showing Ye Xian, dressed in a high school uniform, climbing a white wall. Just as he climbs over the wall, he sees a familiar person standing outside—Aunt Qiu. Ye Xian smiles awkwardly.

"The Little Yellow Flower in the Story"

It's been floating since the year I was born.

Swinging in my childhood

It's been swaying with my memories until now.

... "

[Haha, so Brother Xian finally wrote another love song to prove himself? If that's the case, maybe if we give him more encouragement, he'll write even more!]

[I've discovered that whenever we say Xian Ge isn't good enough, he immediately pulls out a song to prove himself! I can only say that Xian Ge's ability to produce so many great songs is thanks to my relentless daily mockery!]

[Tsk tsk tsk, this song is probably written for Qiu Qing, his childhood sweetheart, again! I've realized, Xian-ge's romantic experience is too bland! Too naive! Come into my arms, let me teach you the art of dating... knowledge!]

[A bunch of perverts! How could they bully such an innocent newbie like Xian Ge like this? Please include me!]

……

When Ye Xian released his new song, his fans were the most excited. Even though it was a love song, which Ye Xian was not particularly "good at," the screen was immediately filled with comments.

Hua Yuyu was impatient and wanted to turn off the bullet comments, but he held back in the end. He didn't want to listen at first, but after being criticized for his singing skills by the Royal Observer, he had no choice but to patiently watch with his manager to see how this guy who was being praised to the skies actually sang, and also to see what kind of reaction Ye Xian's fans would have.

"Re So So Si Do Si La"

So La Si Si Si Si La Si La So

Playing the intro and gazing at the sky

I remembered the petals trying to fall.

... "

Hua Yuyu was a bit lazy when she heard the first part, but when she heard this sentence, she couldn't help but sit up straight.

Using simplified musical notation as lyrics, this song is quite interesting.

The day I skipped class for you

The day the flowers fell

the classroom

Why can't I see it?

The disappearing rainy days

I really want to get soaked again.

... "

Wow, this part is so vividly described by Xian Ge! I can imagine it even without watching the short video. It instantly transports me back to my student days. This simple description is amazing!

[Ugh, I suddenly remembered that my first love got her period during class, so I skipped class to buy her painkillers, but the teacher caught me!]

We skipped class together to go to internet cafes, starved ourselves for a week, just to get a fancy private room. But we were too cowardly and didn't do anything! I regret it so much!

[Is Xian-ge's memory of this high school only limited to his childhood sweetheart, Qiu Qing? I've never seen him interact with any other girls! He's so innocent; I really want to explore that further.]

……

Hua Yuyu was somewhat surprised. This simple, descriptive lyric was incredibly vivid, evoking strong imagery. Even without watching the video Ye Xian was playing, one could imagine the sweetness of youthful days and first love.

Hua Yuyu's manager, Sister Zhang, remarked from the side, "I feel this song is going to be another hit. This Ye Xian is amazing!"

Hua Yuyu couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Then why don't you hurry up and download the song for me?"

Zhang Jie was speechless, and couldn't help but want to curse in her heart. You set yourself up as an all-around singer-songwriter, but you can't produce a single hit song. Now you want me to collect songs? Where am I supposed to find such a good song for you?

With your singing skills, what songs can you even sing?

Hua Yuyu continued watching the short videos, and then the interlude began.

The scene returns to the tree. It's raining heavily, and thunder is rumbling in the sky. Ye Xian is soaked to the bone, but he continues to play the cello.

The melodious yet deep sound of the cello echoed in the room.

[I never realized the cello could sound so beautiful!]

It's not that the cello sounds good, it's that the rhythm of Xian Ge's part is good!

I'm in love! Anyone who says my brother Xian can't write love songs, I'll be the first to disagree!

[There's something I'm hesitant to say: Isn't this song just a sycophantic song? Is this all Xian Ge can write? Or is it because his relationship with Qiu Qing is just one-sided, with Qiu Qing only stringing him along?]

……

"No, that's not true!"

Qiu Qing, far away in a foreign land, was hiding under the covers, her eyes sparkling as she watched Ye Xian in the video. Ye Xian was looking down, playing the cello, and his high school uniform and posture made her instantly lose her composure.

This was when the two of them participated in a performance. Ye Xian's suit hadn't dried properly, so he had to wear his school uniform with him. The two of them, wearing school uniforms and carrying the cello case, went to take the bus.

To be honest, Qiu Qing wasn't sure whether her feelings for Ye Xian were more like childhood sweethearts or familial love, but since returning to Haizhou last time, she found that she liked the current Ye Xian more.

He's lost his nerdy tendencies and his lack of self-confidence.

He exudes a love for life, which can be heard in his inspirational songs.

His active fitness routine exudes a captivating aura of masculinity, something the former nerdy Ye Xian lacked. This is precisely what is described in the song "Sunshine Boy," and it's also the eight-pack abs he displays in the song that radiate from it.

Although Ye Xian used to know how to row dragon boats, he probably wouldn't have participated.

"A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" completely changed Qiu Qing's perspective. She saw a Ye Xian who was tenacious and hardworking, a Ye Xian who was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Ye Xian used to be sensitive, but now he is strong and his emotions are even richer.

The song "I Will Wait" actually made Ye Xian's message to her very clear, and Qiu Qing also understood that Ye Xian needed some time to sort out their relationship.

Once upon a time, there was someone who loved you for a long time.

But then the rain gradually...

Blowing the distance so far

……

It's so hard to love for just one more day.

But in the end of the story

It seems you still said goodbye.

... "

These lyrics are clearly a complaint about going abroad time and time again.

However, Qiu Qing didn't quite understand the regret and sorrow in the lyrics, but she could feel the sadness deep in Ye Xian's heart.

Qiu Qing couldn't help but mutter to herself, "You want to ask me one more time, whether I'll wait or leave? My answer will definitely be to wait, but I'm afraid you won't be able to resist the temptation right now, surrounded by women!"

In the scene, a girl accompanies Ye Xian, carrying a cello case, as they board a bus.

The girl's face was never clearly visible; only her youthful back was visible.

The two sat in the front and back seats. From Ye Xian's perspective, he could see the back of the girl's head. Her shoulder-length short hair exuded vitality and sweetness.

As the bus swayed and rocked, Ye Xian kept staring at the figure in front of him.

"If life were only as beautiful as our first meeting, why would the autumn wind bring sorrow to the painted fan?"

Goodnight, everyone.
