So many people were watching, Zhang Lianghui didn't dare to go back on his word.
"I'm... I'm sorry." His voice was barely a whisper.
"Louder, I can't hear you!" Lin Yanyu stood with her hands on her hips, huffing.
Zhang Lianghui was startled, then gritted his teeth, squeezed his eyes shut, and roared, "I'm sorry! Happy now!"
"Hmph, that's more like it." Lin Yanyu then gave Su Yu a satisfied wink.
Seeing this, he could only shake his head with a wry smile.
This young girl was truly adorable.
Having apologized, Zhang Lianghui knew he had no face to stay any longer.
He could only lower his head and slink away.
A wave of boos erupted from the crowd again.
"Alright, the show's over, everyone back to class!" Teacher Li glanced at Su Yu and Lin Yanyu.
A knowing smile flickered across her face.
It seemed the campus beauty, Lin, had an unusual interest in this new student, Su Yu.
Lin Yanyu also felt Teacher Li's gaze and shyly lowered her head, unable to meet her eyes.
Under Teacher Li's urging.
The onlookers reluctantly dispersed.
Soon after.
Only Su Yu and Lin Yanyu remained in the piano room.
"Thank you," Su Yu said first, breaking the silence.
"Thank me for what?" Lin Yanyu turned her head, surprised.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Thank you for standing up for me just now."
Earlier, to defend him, Lin Yanyu had abandoned her idol image and even used coarse language; he had to admit, she was truly loyal.
"Hehe, just saying thank you might not be enough," a sly glint flashed in Lin Yanyu's eyes.
"Uh... what do you want then?" Su Yu asked with a bitter smile.
"In a few days, the movie 'The Days We Had' is going to be released. I want to go see it, but going to the movies alone feels a bit strange..."
Lin Yanyu lowered her head, rubbing her thumbs in circles.
"You want me to accompany you?"
'The Days We Had,' wasn't that the movie for which he'd written the theme song a few days ago?
He'd seen the plot synopsis before and wasn't particularly interested in this kind of youth romance film.
"Mhm..."
Lin Yanyu nodded with flushed cheeks.
"Us going to the movies together, isn't that not good? I have a girlfriend, and if she found out..."
Su Yu sounded troubled.
"But you're my only friend..."
Lin Yanyu looked up, tears welling in her eyes.
She looked so pathetic.
"This..." Su Yu's lips twitched. It was a shame this woman wasn't an actress; her ability to cry on cue was more than enough to win an award.
"How about this, you tell your girlfriend. If she agrees, then you can go with me, how about that?"
In fact, the more Su Yu hesitated, the happier Lin Yanyu felt.
She wasn't being narcissistic; given her looks, few guys would refuse an invitation to the movies.
But Su Yu's consideration for his girlfriend only strengthened her love for him.
Such a good man, I, Lin Yanyu, have struck gold!
"Alright, I'll tell her when I get back, but don't get your hopes too high."
Su Yu nodded. After all, she had helped him just now, and refusing would feel truly inappropriate.
Lin Yanyu's suggestion was quite good. He could tell his little fairy; if she agreed, he would go, and if she disagreed, it would be understandable to refuse.
"Then I'll wait for your news."
Hehe, Puppy doesn't know, but her girlfriend is me.
Why would I refuse a date with Puppy and myself?
Hmm... what should I wear to the movie?
Should I... wear something sexy?
I'm just afraid Puppy won't be able to control himself...
Lin Yanyu's face suddenly flushed, leaving Su Yu bewildered.
...
In the evening.
Zhang Yang did not return.
Zhao De and the other were so exhausted from military training that they couldn't even speak. After washing up, they collapsed onto their beds and fell asleep.
Su Yu was chatting with his online girlfriend on his phone.
He told her about what happened during the day.
"Puppy, I didn't know you could play the piano. Why didn't you ever mention it before?"
"You know I like to keep a low profile."
"What should I do? I want to hear you play 'Wedding in a Dream'."
"No problem, when we meet, I'll play it for you every day."
"Really? You won't go back on your word, will you?"
"Don't worry, how could I possibly go back on my word for Little Fairy's requests?"
"Hehe, you're so good, I love you, mua~"
Su Yu took a deep breath, incredibly anticipating the moment he would finally meet his Little Fairy.
Two months from now, it's almost here!
"Oh, right, because the school beauty helped me, she asked me to go to the movies with her..."
"You agreed?"
"How could I? I refused on the spot. But she told me to let you decide..."
"Hmm... Go ahead."
"What? Are you sure?"
"Of course, I trust you, go ahead."
Looking at the message from his Little Fairy, Su Yu's heart warmed.
She had always been like this, so understanding.
After a few more sweet exchanges, Little Fairy had to go shower, and they bid each other goodnight.
Su Yu was about to put down his phone.
But then his phone rang.
He picked it up; it was Zhao Yuan calling him.
"CEO Zhao."
"Su Yu, I forgot to tell you earlier, NetCloud Music is holding a confession season event. I wanted to ask if you're interested?"
"Confession season? Is it about writing songs?"
"That's right, it's a joint event by NetCloud Music and Douyin Short Video. Both platforms have very high exposure opportunities, so it's a great chance. Plus, there are cash prizes for the top rankings."
"Okay, send me the event details. I'll reply after I've read them."
Su Yu hung up.
Before long, Zhao Yuan sent him a link.
Su Yu smiled as he opened it.
This event was primarily for university students.
"College Confession Season"
Motto: Youth should soar, speak your love loudly.
Synopsis:
This event is jointly organized by NetCloud Music and Douyin Short Video, targeting all music producers in China. As long as you publish a song you've created about confessions on NetCloud Music, you can participate in this event.
During the event period, NetCloud Music's homepage will feature a "Confession Song Chart." The chart rankings are based on listener votes and are updated in real-time.
At the end of the event, the top three songs will receive cash prizes and collaboration opportunities with Douyin Short Video.
First Prize: Confession Creation Fund (One million yuan)
Second Prize: Confession Creation Fund (Fifty thousand yuan)
Third Prize: Confession Creation Fund (Twenty thousand yuan)
"This is quite good. It increases exposure, and there are prizes for the top three."
Su Yu glanced at the song "What's Wrong With It" in his system inventory.
Participating in this competition would be better than releasing a single.
However, this song was meant for a male singer, and Jiang Xiao'e was clearly not suitable.
Where could he find someone who could sing and was cheap to hire as a tool?
Zhang Yang?
No, his singing skills were still too amateur. If he were to write songs for him, it would have to wait until his vocal abilities improved.
Although Zhao De and Zhou Tao were also in the vocal department, they were clearly just coasting through school and couldn't sing at all.
However, besides them, Su Yu had no other male friends.
He would have to go to the company later to see if there were any cheap newcomers.
