The first week after moving into Jinxiu Garden.

Xu Qing has completely adapted to this comfortable life.

The system morally blackmails him every day at the same time.

[Host, you are a solitary, melancholic writer.]

You now sleep on a soft, light blue bed every day.

[Drinking hot water from the thermos.]

This completely contradicts your image of being miserable and impoverished.

Please move back to the basement immediately to experience life there.

Xu Qing leaned back on the leather sofa, playing a console game.

"Shut up."

"The doctor said I have a bad stomach and can only eat soft food."

The system has completely crashed.

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

The combination lock on the main gate beeped.

Luo Qianyu pushed the door open and came in.

She was still dressed in full protective gear.

He was carrying two large plastic bags.

"Xu Qing, come quickly to greet the emperor!"

Xu Qing threw down the game controller and walked over.

He took the plastic bag and glanced at it.

Live fish, tomatoes, and a bunch of leafy greens whose names I don't know.

"Female celebrity, are you going to blow up the kitchen again?"

Luo Qianyu changed into slippers.

"Don't look down on people."

"This queen spent the whole day on set watching food videos."

"I guarantee you'll get to eat a Manchu Han Imperial Feast."

After half an hour.

The sound of pots and pans shattering came from the kitchen.

Then came a strong smell of burning.

Xu Qing leaned against the kitchen door frame.

He watched as Luo Qianyu held up the pot lid as a shield.

The oil in the pan was splattering wildly.

The live fish hopped around a couple of times on the cutting board.

It fell directly into the trash can.

Xu Qing walked over and turned off the gas stove.

"A Manchu Han Imperial Feast?"

"Are you preparing to have your body cremated in the kitchen?"

There was still a patch of black ash on Luo Qianyu's cheek.

She pointed confidently at the unidentified black charcoal in the pot.

"This is called the Maillard reaction."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

Xu Qing pushed her out of the kitchen.

Go wash your face.

"There are still frozen dumplings in the fridge that you bought the day before yesterday."

Luo Qianyu obediently went to wash her hands.

The two sat in the restaurant eating frozen dumplings.

Although it's just the simplest food.

But this house finally has a real sense of life.

Days passed by like this.

Two weeks later, late one night.

It was already 1 a.m.

The combination lock beeped again.

Luo Qianyu pushed open the door and walked in.

Today, she didn't chatter away about being tired like she usually does.

She tossed her bag onto the cabinet in the entryway.

He collapsed onto the sofa in the living room.

Xu Qing was sitting in front of the computer typing on the keyboard.

He turned his head after hearing the noise.

Luo Qianyu buried her face in the cushion.

Not moving at all.

Xu Qing walked over.

He sat down on the carpet next to the sofa.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Qianyu did not look up.

The voice sounded muffled.

"I'm going to record an all-star variety show today."

"I was supposed to be the last to perform."

"As a result, he was temporarily moved to midfield."

"The finale was given to a popular young actress who had just returned to China to develop her career."

Xu Qing looked at her.

"and then?"

Luo Qianyu turned over.

She looked at the ceiling.

"Then, during the game segment, all my scenes were cut."

The host revolved around that little flower the entire time.

"Sister Hong will go and negotiate."

"The director said I'm not a big star enough and told me to be more sensible."

Luo Qianyu sat up.

My eyes are red.

"I've already sung three hit songs."

"Why do they still think I'm just a lucky nouveau riche?"

For the first time ever, Xu Qing didn't make any sarcastic remarks.

He stood up.

Walk to the storage cabinet in the corner of the balcony.

Open the cabinet door.

They pulled out an old, dusty violin case from the bottom.

These are the junk items that Luo Qianyu insisted the movers bring along on the day of the move.

Xu Qing opened the violin case.

Take out a wooden guitar.

He walked back to the living room.

He sat down next to Luo Qianyu.

Luo Qianyu was stunned.

"What are you going to do?"

Xu Qing didn't say anything.

He adjusted the strings.

Only a dim floor lamp was on in the living room.

The light shone on Xu Qing's profile.

Xu Qing's slender fingers plucked the strings of the instrument.

An extremely gentle and light melody drifted through the living room.

Luo Qianyu even slowed down her breathing.

Xu Qing looked at her.

He started singing.

What I want to see most is your smile.

"You are the best in my eyes."

Xu Qing's voice was unedited.

Very clean and pure.

Luo Qianyu's eyes widened slightly.

This was a song she had never heard before.

"A cheesy tone."

You wouldn't know.

"I love you quietly."

Xu Qing was playing the guitar.

The lyrics are so blunt they make you blush.

Luo Qianyu's grievances from the day were instantly shattered by these simple lyrics.

Xu Qing continued singing.

"How should I continue this conversation?"

"It's all my fault for being too timid."

"I'll just stare at you and smile like an idiot."

"What should I do?"

"But I really didn't expect that."

You pulled me into your arms.

Xu Qing stopped playing.

He put down his guitar.

Luo Qianyu was completely stunned.

Xu Qing looked into her eyes.

"The world suddenly became so quiet."

"Only the sound of a heartbeat remains."

"It strengthened my resolve to love you."

"You are the only one right now."

Luo Qianyu's tears finally fell.

It wasn't because I felt wronged, but because I was happy.

Xu Qing reached out her hand.

He pulled her into his arms.

Luo Qianyu leaned against his shoulder.

What's the name of this song?

"Quietly".

Luo Qianyu wrapped her arms around Xu Qing's waist.

"Do you sell the copyright?"

Xu Qing touched her hair.

"Not for sale."

"This song is just for you."

Luo Qianyu buried her face in his sweater.

The two embraced under the dim light of the floor lamp.

The city outside the window was still cold.

But the temperature inside the apartment was just right.

The previous awkwardness completely vanished.

They truly entered a stage of love that was sickeningly sweet.

The next morning.

Star Emperor Entertainment Headquarters Building.

The atmosphere in the top-floor conference room was extremely oppressive.

Wang Jianguo, president of Xinghuang Entertainment, sat at the head of the long conference table.

He slammed a thick quarterly financial report onto the table.

Papers were scattered all over the floor.

Sister Hong stood by the table, barely daring to breathe.

The other executives in the conference room also all had their heads down.

Wang Jianguo pointed to the data reports on the big screen.

His fingers were trembling with anger.

"Can someone explain this report to me?"

"Is this the report card you gave me?"

Wang Jianguo slammed his hand on the table.

"Wei Hongxia!"

Sister Hong trembled with fright.

"Mr. Wang, I'm here."

Wang Jianguo stared intently at her.

"What's going on with Luo Qianyu?"

Sister Hong swallowed.

"Luoqian Fish's commercial value has increased significantly this quarter."

"She accepted three high-end luxury brand endorsements."

"He also had a regular role on two variety shows."

Wang Jianguo sneered.

"A significant increase?"

"What was it made of?"

"Those are three divine songs by Mingyue Qingfeng!"

Wang Jianguo became more and more excited as he spoke.

"If you randomly pick any one of these three songs and give it to a pig to sing, that pig should be a star by now!"

"Why is Luo Qianyu still stuck in the second tier?"

Sister Hong hurriedly explained.

"Mr. Wang, Luo Qianyu's foundation is too weak."

"She doesn't have any film or television works to back her up, so relying solely on singing will limit her ability to gain fans."

"Moreover, there are measures in the industry to prevent her from gaining popularity; several major platforms are suppressing her online buzz."

Wang Jianguo completely ignored these reasons.

"I don't care about explosion protection."

"I only look at the return on investment."

"The melody of 'Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze' is the nuclear weapon of the Chinese music scene."

"A nuclear weapon in your hand that doesn't explode is just scrap metal!"

Wang Jianguo turned to look at the artist director.

"Is Suman going back to her country next month?"

The artist director quickly nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Wang."

"Su Man studied abroad for three years and is now extremely popular."

"As soon as she came back, she was already a top-tier female star in China."

Wang Jianguo tapped on the table.

"All of the company's top-tier marketing and publicity resources will be directed towards Suman."

"Also, Wei Hongxia."

Sister Hong quickly stood up straight.

Wang Jianguo looked at her.

"Go and sound out what Mingyue Qingfeng has to say."

Ask him if he's written any new songs recently.

"If it exists, the company will buy it at double the market price."

Sister Hong was stunned.

"Mr. Wang, who will sing this song after we buy it?"

Wang Jianguo glared at her.

"Of course it's for Su Man!"

Sister Hong's expression changed.

"But Teacher Mingyue Qingfeng's previous songs were all specifically given to Luo Qianyu to sing."

"He might get angry if we don't let him choose the singer."

Wang Jianguo interrupted her directly.

"Turning against you?"

"No one would turn down money."

"The Luoqian fish cannot digest this top-grade resource."

"It would be a complete waste to sing the song for her again."

Wang Jianguo stood up.

"Su Man's first single after returning to China must be a huge hit."

"Only the songs of the bright moon and gentle breeze are worthy of Su Man's status."

"Go and talk to Mingyue Qingfeng."

"As long as he's willing to give the song to Su Man, he can name his price."

"If all else fails, we can discuss giving him a stake in Star Emperor Entertainment."

Sister Hong looked troubled.

"Mr. Wang, Teacher Mingyue Qingfeng has a very eccentric personality."

"He hasn't even shown his face lately; I can only contact him on WeChat."

"If I bring up the matter of replacing him directly, I'm afraid he'll just block me."

Wang Jianguo rested his hands on the table.

"That's your job!"

"You're an agent, not Luo Qianyu's nanny!"

"I'm keeping you on the payroll so you can make money for the company!"

"If you can't handle Mingyue Qingfeng, you're fired tomorrow!"

Sister Hong was so scolded that she couldn't lift her head.

"Yes, Mr. Wang."

"I'll go and test Teacher Mingyue Qingfeng's attitude today."

Wang Jianguo waved his hand irritably.

"Meeting adjourned!"

The executives felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

They all fled the meeting room.

Sister Hong was at the very back.

She glanced at Luo Qianyu's data report.

I couldn't help but sigh.

Luo Qianyu was indeed just one step away from succeeding.

The entertainment industry is a place that only cares about results.

Even a catchy tune can't save you if you lack commercial value.

Sister Hong returned to her office.

She locked the door.

Take out your phone and open WeChat.

Find the dialogue box for "Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze".

The last message was from three months ago.

Hongjie typed and deleted in the input box, then typed and deleted again.

She had absolutely no idea how to bring this up with this eccentric big shot.

What if we anger the bright moon and gentle breeze?

Luo Qianyu is completely finished.

Sister Hong scratched her hair in frustration.

In the end, only one tentative message was sent out.

Hongjie: [Teacher Mingyue, are you free lately?]

Hongjie: [The company has a big project planned for next month, and we'd like to discuss it with you.]

After sending these two messages.

Hongjie threw her phone on the table.

She could only pray that this big shot would be in a better mood today.

Don't throw her into the Pacific Ocean the moment you open your mouth.
