I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Wang Feng said, "Although I was never assigned homework like this back then, I think it was quite fun."

Qin Yun Chu sensed something was amiss and asked, "What does having a pen pal have to do with music studies?"

"Perhaps because they teach creative music and need to inspire others, they assigned the task of finding pen pals."

Jiang Xinhai blinked and asked Chen Xi, "So you replied?"

Chen Xi blushed slightly, as if recalling that afternoon when she ran all the way to drop the letter into the mailbox.

"Yes, I was only a teenager at the time, an age when I was prone to daydreaming, so I replied very quickly."

She tapped a few times in the cardboard box, pointed to an envelope, and pulled it out.

“After communicating with him for a while, I developed a bit of an interest in music, and he sent me this letter.”

Everyone looked over and saw that the letter read:

"I recently had a dream where I was standing on a vast grassland, and suddenly the wind picked up."

Then a melody suddenly flowed into my heart, it's... try humming it, isn't it nice?

But suddenly I don't want to finish it anymore, so I'm sending it to you. I hope you can finish it someday.

Wang Feng looked at the melody on the envelope, tried humming it, and suddenly clapped his hands: "Oh!"

Xu Xiangxiao and Jiang Xinhai quickly hummed along as well.

"I know what song it is."

The three of them said at the same time, "The Wind Rises!"

"Oh, so it's this song." Qin Yunshang also knew this song and clapped her hands.

Qin Yun Chu hadn't heard it before, so she asked, "How does it go?"

Jiang Xinhai said, "You must have heard of Yun Chu. This song was quite popular back then. It was Chen Xi's signature song, right?"

Chen Xi nodded and hummed, "When we first met, I was filled with longing, the horizon seemed so close..."

Qin Yun Chu also noticed it.

"So this is the song, it's really nice."

Wang Feng looked at Chen Xi in shock and said, "Did you write this song when you were a teenager?"

Chen Xi blushed and said, "Of course not. I was so young back then, I didn't understand anything, and I couldn't even hum the tune right. It took me a long time to learn how to sing this tune."

"How did you learn it after that?"

Chen Xi said, "I also asked how this song was completed. He used many letters to tell me how to sing it, what composing is, what arranging is... and then I knew how to do it!"

Wang Feng said with a strange expression, "So, you're saying that this song was almost entirely completed by your pen pal?"

“Yes,” Chen Xi nodded, “so my pen name at the time was Xiya, which was a combination of my name and his name.”

"Xi Ya?" Qin Yun Chu's body stiffened upon hearing the word "Ya," and she asked, "What's your pen pal's name?"

Chen Xi held up the envelope, revealing the name on it: "Lin Ya".

“Linya…” Qin Yun Chu murmured the name.

I guess I overreacted just now.

Ever since the incident of Chen Ya's identity being exposed, she has become so obsessed with Chen Ya that she sees everything related to her.

How could it be Chen Ya?

If it were Chen Ya, his sister would definitely be suspicious.

"what!"

Just then, Jiang Xinhai suddenly shouted.

She leaned closer, took the envelope from Chen Xi's hand, and suddenly held her breath.

Wang Feng asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xinhai pointed at the envelope, speechless for a long time. After a while, he finally spoke:

"This, this address, is where I used to live!"

Chapter 87 Is it possible that he is your brother?

Jiang Xinhai pointed to the address on the envelope, which read:

“Building A, No. 3, Chuntian Mingyuan, Chengzhong Street, Binhai City, facing the cliff.”

She said excitedly, "This is the apartment I rented near the university when I was in college, right here in this building!"

She glanced at the date on the letter again, then exclaimed excitedly:

"Moreover, the time when this letter was written coincides with the time when I lived there!"

Everyone's expressions changed, and Chen Xi quickly asked:

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

Jiang Xinhai said, "I studied at Binhai Media University, and this community is right next to the school, so I rented here."

She paused, then continued to explain:

“This neighborhood is close to the school, and almost all the residents are students from Binhai Media. Lin Ya said he is a college student and a music major, so it is very likely that he is from Binhai Media and happens to rent a place here. The probability of this is very high.”

"Why isn't this address accurate to the specific room?" He Ling asked.

Jiang Xinhai said, "Back then, letters weren't delivered to specific rooms. They were all handed over to the gatekeeper, and then everyone had to pick them up themselves. Writing down the specific room number was useless."

He Ling shook her head: "What a pity, what a pity."

If you know the specific room number, you can find the person.

However, if the address were so specific, down to the room number, Chen Xi would have found the person by now, after searching for so many years.

Chen Xi thought for a moment and asked:

"So, Lin Ya is also a student at Binhai Media. Do you know anyone whose name contains the characters 'Lin Ya'?"

"I know quite a few students, but I've never heard of anyone named Lin Ya in this building..."

At this point, Jiang Xinhai suddenly froze.

When she lived in Spring Garden, she did know someone whose name contained the character "涯".

Moreover, that person lived with her.

Not only did they share a room, they even slept on the same bed...

Jiang Xinhai's face flushed red instantly.

He Ling, however, did not notice her unusual behavior and said from the side:

"In other words, Lin Ya was most likely a student at Binhai Media at the time. This greatly narrows down the search scope."

Wang Feng laughed and said, "Xinhai, ask your old classmates. Maybe they can help Chen Xi find her Linya..."

Before he could finish speaking, everyone noticed that Jiang Xinhai's face was still flushed.

She was already beautiful, but the faint blush on her face made her look even more delicate and charming.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned.

"What's wrong?" Wang Feng leaned forward and asked.

Jiang Xinhai snapped out of his daze and then smiled and said, "N-nothing."

She couldn't very well say that she was living with Chen Ya before she even graduated from university, could she?

As for whether that Linya is Chenya...

She felt that it wasn't impossible, but the possibility was very small.

At that time, they were both ambitious and eager to make their mark in the music industry.

Back then, their lives consisted of writing songs, practicing songs, and singing, and they only slept about 5 hours a day on average.

Over three months, Chen Ya and her team produced a total of 12 songs.

Jiang Xinhai felt that this speed of songwriting was already the limit for human beings.

If someone told her that back then, Chen Ya was still in contact with pen pals far away, teaching them how to write songs, Jiang Xinhai would never believe it.

If humans could do that, their brains would probably melt.

"Hey, Chen Xi, let's take a look at the next few letters. Maybe we can find some new clues," she said, changing the subject.

Chen Xi nodded, then picked out a few more letters from the cardboard box and said:

"After 'The Wind Rises,' he gave me a few more songs and asked me to try writing lyrics and improving them."

“No matter how badly I wrote, he always encouraged me and said I was great.”

“After I finished writing it—actually, after he revised it—he told me that thanks to me, he was able to complete these pieces.”

As she spoke, Chen Xi's eyes sparkled, as if she were reminiscing about the good old days:

"I was young then, and I actually believed it. I was so proud of myself for a long time..."

Actually, he was just trying to comfort me and give me confidence.

"He doesn't need me at all; he could have written the song himself."

Wang Feng asked, "What other songs did he teach you to write?"

Chen Xi counted on his fingers and said, "There's also 'My Taoist Nun Friend,' 'Later,' 'Old Boy,' 'Jiangnan,'..."

Upon hearing this, He Ling almost blurted out "Holy crap!"

He had heard almost all of these songs.

They were all wildly popular for a period of time, topping the charts.

Wang Feng held his head, making an exaggerated "Oh my god" expression, and said:

“Any one of these songs could be enough for a singer to live off for ten years.”

Qin Yunshang also raised her hand and said, "Yes, yes! I've heard 'My Taoist Nun Friend' and I love it! I've also listened to 'Jiangnan' and 'Later' on repeat for a long time!"

The live stream chat was also flooded with comments:

"So all these songs were written by Chen Xi..."

"Upstairs, you're wrong. This was written by Chen Xi and Lin Ya together."

"Even Teacher Wang Feng praised this song, and it was actually written by a college student. Unbelievable! What kind of genius is this..."

……

Wang Feng shook his head and said, "Chen Xi, these are all really awesome pieces of music, and he just takes them out and gives them to you to use as teaching aids?"

Chen Xi blushed and said, "Really? I thought that's how everyone learned to compose music..."

Wang Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood:

"If someone had been willing to teach me like that back then, I would have been willing to be their slave!"

Xu Xiangxiao shook her head and said, "This Lin Ya is definitely a top-notch lyricist and composer, but I don't know why he's disappeared without a trace."

Chen Xi frowned and said, "I often wonder if it's because he had to teach me that he's been held back?"

Wang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, a musician's inspiration is limited. He may have given you his best inspiration, but he himself remains unknown."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi became anxious: "If that's the case, I'm willing to take care of him."

Everyone was both amused and shocked, staring at her with their mouths agape.

Qin Yunshang immediately covered her mouth: "Sister Chen Xi, how dare you!"

He Ling, with a meaningful smile on her face, asked, "You like Linya?"

Chen Xi blushed slightly, but to everyone's surprise, she said very frankly:

"I like it."

After saying that, she blushed and explained:

"Think about it, someone suddenly appears, patiently teaches you, and shares life with you... how could you not like him?"
