My absurd experiences in North America over the years

Li Fu returned to his residence without being worried about the fact that his suggestion had not been adopted for the time being.

He knew that changing the existing mindset was extremely difficult, and that life was like a game of chess, with gains and losses being unpredictable.

He just needs to live up to Lucy's trust in him.

If the Forrest family fails to heed the advice now, the painful lessons learned in the future will become the most solid foundation of his trust when the storm comes.

As he thought this, he began to hum a little tune.

The tune was Taylor Swift's highly popular song "Love Story" from her previous life.

The melody flowed like a clear spring, allowing him to temporarily forget the unpredictable nature of the business world.

He hummed a tune as his fingertips unconsciously tapped the steering wheel.

The rhythm rippled outwards like waves, seemingly blending the undercurrents of the financial markets and the misty rain of Nashville into these melodious notes.

The rain was strange; while thunder rumbled in the city, the rain in his neighborhood was as light as a wisp of smoke.

The raindrops, like silver needles, slanted into the cracks of the bluestone slabs, weaving a hazy net in the twilight.

Li Fu was in a good mood, humming a little tune as he opened the courtyard gate.

Suddenly, there was a "crash" sound behind me, as if some bottles or jars had fallen and shattered on the ground.

He subconsciously turned around and saw a graceful young woman standing there, her gaze fixed on him as if drawn by a magnet.

A few raindrops clung to the ends of her hair, and dark water stains ran along the hem of her skirt, but she was completely unaware of it.

The middle-aged woman next to the girl hurriedly squatted down to clean up the mess, her movements revealing panic and embarrassment, unaware that her fingertips were cut by broken porcelain.

"Don't worry, it's just a few broken cans of food..."

They had just returned from shopping at the supermarket.

Li Fu was startled. He had seen the girl's appearance many times in his previous life and recognized her almost instantly.

It was Taylor Swift!

They actually live in the same community?

Once he recognized the girl, he understood why she had lost her composure.

"Love Story" has not yet been published, and is still in the process of being written. His humming will surely shock the original author...

"I'm sorry, sir," the woman, Andrea, Taylor Swift's mother, hurriedly stood up, her voice tinged with apology, "Taylor...she's been working on new songs lately, I'm afraid it might have startled you."

She tried to cover up her daughter's embarrassment.

Taylor Swift seemed to ignore what her mother was saying.

She stared blankly at Li Fu, her eyes churning with turbulent emotions.

She stepped forward, her voice trembling slightly, "Sir, the tune you were humming just now...where did you hear it?"

Li Fu never imagined that this would happen.

He watched as the girl in front of him unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes with her fingers because of nervousness.

This melody must have been fragments she repeatedly explored on her guitar while tossing and turning at night, yet the person in front of her hummed it so naturally.

Anyone would probably do the same.

"Hmm... how should I put it..." Li Fu didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

You can't exactly say you heard this song in a past life!

Even if I told them, they wouldn't believe me!

Taylor Swift kept watching Li Fu nervously because this was a song she valued very much.

"Maybe I dreamed about it!" Li Fu shrugged, answering casually.

Have you ever dreamed about it?

But... why is it more perfect than mine?

Taylor Swift's pupils suddenly contracted, and she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. Her breathing became somewhat sluggish, and only her chest heaved violently.

"Could you sing it again?" She didn't know the other person, but she still couldn't help but ask.

Li Fu scratched his head; he wasn't very good at singing.

It's only slightly better than being tone-deaf.

Asking him to sing in front of Taylor Swift is a bit much for him.

But seeing the burning expectation in the other person's eyes, he took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and could only pretend to be an amateur.

He hummed the climax of Love Story softly once again.

His skill level is limited; his humming is barely acceptable, and definitely not very pleasant to listen to.

The good thing is that the melody and rhythm are mostly correct.

Taylor Swift held her breath, her fingertips unconsciously swaying gently to the melody, accompanied by humming, and her eyes rippled with emotion.

She seemed to see the fragments of melody she had painstakingly pieced together over countless nights, now so naturally strung together into a complete movement by the person before her.

As the last note faded into the twilight, she suddenly looked up.

"This melody... it's so similar to the tune I've been pondering. You just said you heard these in your dreams?"

Li Fu smiled slightly, "Yes, I just thought it sounded nice, so I just hummed it out of the blue today."

Taylor Swift's eyes trembled slightly. Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

"To be honest, I've been revising this song. The melody you're humming is exactly what I envisioned," she said, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Really? That's quite a coincidence."

Li Fu felt a little amused.

The version he hummed was the later-released version, so of course it would be the version the creator envisioned.

"Do you remember the rest?" Taylor Swift stepped forward.

Her tall figure made Li Fu, who was 185cm tall, appear somewhat short.

"I remember some, but definitely not all. If you could play the whole piece, I might be able to recall some more."

He's incredibly knowledgeable about music; it's impossible for him to memorize sheet music.

If Taylor Swift were to play, he might be able to hear the differences from his memory.

Taylor Swift paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up with a bright light. "Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

She turned and ran quickly home.

Li Fu looked at her figure and shook his head slightly. She truly deserves to be called a top-notch creator, with such a love and dedication to music.

About five or six minutes later, Taylor Swift hurriedly returned carrying a wooden guitar, followed by her worried mother, Andrea.

Although Li Fu was a neighbor in the same community, they had never had any contact before, which made Andrea uneasy.

It was almost dark by now.

Li Fu invited the mother and daughter into the house.

Taylor Swift was almost completely absorbed in that melody. Her fingertips lightly touched the strings, she tried a few notes, then took a deep breath and played the complete melody.

Li Fu listened intently, and his familiarity with the song from his previous life allowed him to instantly grasp the key points.

He will offer suggestions where there are some differences.

Of course, these aren't professional opinions; they're just my intuitive impressions.

"If the pitch were raised a bit higher here, it might better highlight the progression of the emotion..."

Taylor Swift adjusted the strings, and the moment the notes emerged, she looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with surprise. "It really is much better! You actually know so much about music?"

Li Fu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, it was purely intuition..."

These are all songs you wrote yourself.

I've only heard of it!

Of course, he couldn't say that directly.

There are roughly three or four such adjustments.

Taylor Swift always looks amazing after each adjustment.

At the same time, one's liking for a handsome neighbor who is also quite knowledgeable about music will increase.

It felt like a long-lost telepathic connection.
