"A white horse gallops past the pitch-black end."

"The tide comes in and the waves tremble."

"It solidified into ink on the coast."

"Rose Facing the Prairie Balloon"

"The postman brought a rainbow across the ground."

"Engraved in my heart, beating like a pulse."

The lyrics of this interlude are very evocative.

At that time, he felt that the world was a chaotic mess of colors.

The visuals in the movie became abstract, with various lights and shadows flashing across the screen.

Lin Feng returned to that partitioned room.

He pulled out the stack of small bills that Su Qing had left behind from under his pillow.

And there's that painting of a back view, folded neatly.

On the back of the painting was written a line of words: Take me with you, even if it's to hell.

Unfortunately, by the time Lin Feng saw this message, Su Qing was already on a train heading south.

"Take me to the far future."

"Take away the loneliness of my solitary journey."

"Take me with you, and that will be my freedom to love you."

"They will all become bubbles."

"I'm not afraid to take me away."

In the final chorus, the female vocals become high-pitched and melancholic.

The sheer intensity of the scene caused a chorus of sniffling sounds to fill the theater.

Xu Qing felt her throat was a little dry.

He picked up the bottled water that was next to him and took a sip.

The water was cold, and the coolness traveled down my esophagus all the way to my stomach.

"Take me with you, and that will be my freedom to love you."

"They will all become bubbles."

"Take me away"

The last syllable of the song slowly faded away.

The movie then went black.

The cast and crew credits began to scroll across the screen.

Interlude: "Take Me Away".

Lyrics and music by Mingyue Qingfeng.

Singer: Luo Qianyu.

Xu Qing glanced at her pen name as it flashed by.

He stood up and dusted off his bottom.

The lights in the theater came back on.

The female college students cried so much that their makeup was ruined, and they were touching up their makeup while cursing the director for being too cruel.

"Who wrote this song? It's so heartbreaking."

"Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze? Never heard of that. Probably an old man."

"You must have been hurt hundreds of times to write words like this."

Xu Qing listened to their discussion and walked towards the exit with a blank expression.

old man?

He is only twenty-four years old this year.

As for being injured hundreds of times.

He felt these people underestimated the malice of life.

Life doesn't need to hurt you hundreds of times.

It only takes one hard stomp on your most painful spot, and that's enough to make you remember it for a lifetime.

Xu Qing walked out of the movie theater.

It was completely dark outside.

The neon lights on the street flickered, distorting everyone's faces.

He walked with his hands in his pockets and his head down.

A homeless man was strumming a broken guitar by the roadside.

Xu Qing took out two yuan coins from his pocket and casually threw them into the broken bowl.

The sound of the coin striking the ground was crisp and clear.

"Thanks, boss."

The homeless man looked up and smiled at him, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

Xu Qing didn't say anything and continued walking forward.

The system's voice popped up in my mind again.

"Host, according to the emotional fluctuation monitoring just now, your depression index has risen again."

"Shut up."

"I suggest you find a place to have a big meal to replenish your dopamine."

"I have no money."

"You just made half a million."

"That's for the headmistress, not for me."

...........

Star Emperor Entertainment's exclusive nanny van drove smoothly on the Jiangcheng overpass.

The air conditioning in the carriage was turned up very high.

Luo Qianyu kicked off her high heels and slumped unceremoniously onto the leather seat.

She just finished her schedule for the premiere of the movie "The Story of North City" today.

Although she was so tired she felt like her bones were about to fall apart, she was in an unusually good mood.

Hongjie sat in the passenger seat, constantly swiping on her tablet.

"Little Fish, the premiere was a great success."

"Especially the theme song you sang, it has now climbed into the top ten of the Penguin Music New Song Chart."

Sister Hong turned her head, her face full of a professional smile.

Luo Qianyu picked up the thermos next to her and took a sip of warm water.

"This song is really well written."

"The lyrics and music are absolutely amazing."

"Sister Hong, where did you find this amazing song?"

Sister Hong put down her tablet, her tone tinged with smugness.

"I pulled a lot of strings to find this in an independent musician's email."

"At the time, this song didn't even have a formal recording; it was just a dry guitar performance."

"But I knew as soon as I heard it that this song was going to be a hit."

Luo Qianyu leaned back in her seat, her eyes fixed on the streetlights rushing past the car window.

"The lyricist and composer's name is Mingyue Qingfeng, right?"

"This name sounds really old-fashioned."

Have you met him in person?

Sister Hong shook her head.

"Never seen it before."

"This person is very mysterious."

"The copyright fees were all directly deposited into the account of a shell company."

"They didn't even leave a phone number; we communicated entirely through email."

Luo Qianyu pursed her lips.

"Playing tricks."

"But this person is indeed talented."

"I almost couldn't hold back my tears when I recorded that line that takes me to the far future."

Sister Hong waved her hand dismissively.

Who cares who he is?

"As long as he can help you solidify your current status as a diva, he's just a tool for songwriting."

Luo Qianyu did not respond.

She had always been disgusted by Sister Hong's profit-driven behavior.

But she can't afford to break ties with Sister Hong right now.

She took out her phone and skillfully switched to her private alternate account.

Even Sister Hong didn't know about this alternate account.

There are no fake girlfriends in the industry, and no annoying work groups.

There is only one reading software from Penguin Chinese website.

Luo Qianyu's biggest hobby is reading online novels.

She enjoys that kind of simple, straightforward happiness.

Especially after a long day of appearances, reading some mindless, lighthearted stories is definitely the best way to relax.

She opened the app and went directly to the recommendations page.

At the very top is a huge banner ad placement.

The book's title is in four large characters: The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Luo Qianyu rolled her eyes dramatically.

What era are we living in? There are still people giving their books such outdated titles.

The Divine Eagle?

Is this an animal documentary or a guide to animal farms?

Returning the chivalrous couple.

It sounds like the kind of old-fashioned, traditional martial arts tropes.

The male protagonist falls off a cliff, finds a secret manual, and then goes out to do good deeds and gain a few female companions along the way.

Utterly boring.

Luo Qianyu placed her thumb on the screen, ready to swipe directly across.

Just as her finger was about to slide, her gaze fell on a line of small print below the book title.

Author: Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze.

Luo Qianyu was stunned.

She blinked to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

Bright moon and gentle breeze.

These four characters are exactly the same as the lyrics and music by the lyricist of the song "Take Me Away" that she sang today.

Same name?

Is it the same person?

Luo Qianyu's curiosity was instantly piqued.

"These days, songwriters can also cross over into writing novels?"

She muttered something under her breath.

Sister Hong asked a question without turning her head.

"Little Fish, what did you say?"

Luo Qianyu quickly pressed her phone screen down.

"I didn't say anything, I just said the air conditioning in the car is a bit cold."

Sister Hong casually turned up the air conditioner temperature by two degrees.

Luo Qianyu refocused her attention on her phone.

She opened the book "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

The description is only one sentence long.

Meeting Yang Guo once will ruin your life; Auntie will take you flying.

Luo Qianyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This introduction is way too hasty.

What do you mean by "Auntie will take you flying"? That sounds so despicable.

She clicked on the first chapter with the intention of finding fault.

Five minutes later.

Luo Qianyu's smile vanished.

Ten minutes later.

She sat up straight, her eyes fixed on the screen.

After half an hour.

Luo Qianyu had completely forgotten that she was still in the nanny van.

She was completely captivated by the novel's plot.

The opening text is shrewd and concise.

Without any unnecessary details, the story directly unfolds the grudges and affections of the Lu family village.

Li Mochou's ruthlessness upon her first appearance, and Wu Santong's madness.

And then there's Yang Guo, the young man who hid in a dilapidated cave, filthy yet naturally proud.

Every character is incredibly vivid.

Luo Qianyu felt a pang of heartache as she watched Yang Guo being taken away by Guo Jing.

She watched Yang Guo being bullied by Miss Guo Fu on Peach Blossom Island, and she cursed him in her heart in anger.

"Is Guo Fu out of her mind?"

"Yang Guo is already in such a miserable state, yet she still picks fights with him every day!"

Luo Qianyu's fingers flew across the screen, her reading speed increasing rapidly.

She couldn't wait to see Yang Guo turn the tables and slap his face.

The plot then took a sudden turn for the worse.

Yang Guo was sent to the Quanzhen Sect by Guo Jing.

Those old Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect are even worse.

Zhao Zhijing is a despicable person, wicked to the core.

Luo Qianyu stomped her feet in anger.

"Is this author a psychopath?"

Why make the male lead suffer so much?

She continued reading while cursing.

Yang Guo escaped from the Quanzhen Sect and mistakenly entered the Tomb of the Living Dead.

Little Dragon Girl finally made her appearance.

Luo Qianyu was stunned when she saw the description of Xiaolongnu's appearance.

Aloof and detached from worldly affairs, untouched by human concerns.

This kind of setting really resonated with her.

In particular, although Xiaolongnu is nominally Yang Guo's master, she is actually only a few years older than Yang Guo.

The two relied on each other for survival in the dark and cold ancient tomb.

There are no worldly prejudices, and no outside interference.

Luo Qianyu watched them practice their skills together and catch sparrows together.

That sense of taboo that transcends identity and generation made this old auntie, who had never been in a relationship, blush and her heart race.

"It is too sweet."

"This is what a true nurturing system should be like."

Luo Qianyu twisted and turned in the back seat, clutching her phone.

Sister Hong glanced at her in the rearview mirror.

"Little fish, do you have lice?"

Luo Qianyu quickly coughed twice and resumed her upright sitting posture.

"No, I just wanted to stretch my muscles a bit."

She continued looking down at her phone.

The plot has progressed to the latest chapter.

Li Mochou stormed into the Tomb of the Living Dead, forcing Xiaolongnu to hand over the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

To protect Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu decided to put down the Dragon-Slaying Stone and perish together with Li Mochou.

Yang Guo fought to the death, determined to die with Xiaolongnu.

As the stone gate slowly descended, the two poured out their hearts to each other.

Luo Qianyu's heart was in her throat.

She held her breath and tapped the next page.

A message pops up on the screen.

To be continued, the author is currently working hard to write more.

Luo Qianyu was stunned for three seconds.

Then she screamed right there in the car.

"what!"

Sister Hong was so frightened that she slammed on the brakes.

The van suddenly stopped on the road, and the cars behind it honked their horns frantically.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Were there paparazzi taking photos, or was someone hijacking the car?"

Sister Hong looked around in a panic.

Luo Qianyu held her phone, on the verge of tears.

"Fragment Dog!"

"This 'Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze' guy is definitely a writer who only writes snippets of events!"

"How could it end here!"

"Has the Dragon-Slaying Stone been put down yet?!"

Sister Hong looked at her with a face full of black lines.

"What's wrong with you in the middle of the night? Are you obsessed with reading novels?"
