Influenced by Penguin Music and Station C, the news of Mei Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin Youxi's album release soon spread throughout Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 High School. All classes began to talk about the three of them. Discussions about "Yuan Bao" on the Internet continued despite repeated bans, but there seemed to be no information about the album being unboxed. Only some anonymous comments indicated that they knew Xia Yuan was from their school, and that was all.
Xia Yuanmei, Fang Lin and Youxi were also called in for a talk by school leaders because of this incident. However, because teacher Chen Qi, who had helped them with art festivals and music production before, had informed them in advance, everyone did not feel too much psychological pressure.
In general, after all, Xia Yuan borrowed the school's recording studio equipment to record songs, and he entered the school as a student with music expertise, so he can be considered to have been trained by Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1. If Xia Yuan can go further in his acting career, he will be an outstanding alumnus in the future.
When talking to Xia Yuan about creative work, some teachers in the school also suggested that they could use their personal connections to help Xia Yuan get into the entertainment industry and get in touch with a record company or entertainment company, but Xia Yuan politely declined.
She said frankly that composing songs was just a hobby for her and she had no intention of entering the entertainment industry. She still hoped to study well.
Of course, in this respect, she fully meets the characteristics of an excellent music student. The teachers also encouraged Xia Yuan that as long as she maintained her current state, it would be easy for her to be admitted to famous music schools such as the Imperial Capital Music College, Jiangcheng Music College, or some music schools of comprehensive universities in her senior year of high school.
The teachers then advised her to guard against arrogance and complacency, and Xia Yuan responded obediently. The teacher who taught the choir class in the evening also gave Xia Yuan the privilege of not attending the choir class, and Xia Yuan was happy to accept it, which meant that she could have an extra hour every day to practice composing music on her own.
The storm brought about by Xia Yuan's songs was indeed brewing day by day as Mei Fang said, and Xia Yuan received calls from relatives and friends almost every night.
Five days later, on Friday night, Xia Yuan saw that the album he created, especially the title song "No Makeup", was ranked on the Penguin Music New Songs Hot Chart, and its popularity was rising rapidly like a spark that has set the prairie on fire.
After going through so much, Xia Yuan's excitement gradually faded. At the dinner table, Xia Yuan felt a little tired:
“Huh… So many people are listening to our songs, I feel so ashamed…”
"What's there to be ashamed of? I think it's amazing."
Liang Meijuan curiously served Xia Yuan a bowl of pork ribs and lotus root soup, "Yuanyuan, you will be a big star in the future, right?"
"I'm not the only one who sang with me. Ah Fang and You Xi also sang with me. They are also creators..."
"Youxi and I are not the kind of people who can be on camera, so the main C must be you, Yuanyuan."
"Ah Fang! Stop making fun of me."
"Okay, okay... All three of you are equally important and equally great! I've been busy lately, so drink some pork ribs and lotus root soup to replenish your body."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Liang."
Liang Meijuan looked at Xia Yuan drinking the soup she made in big gulps, and she was very happy for her.
"Speaking of which, last time your parents called to ask about Yuanyuan's situation, it was the first time I saw your father lose his composure like that. He said that he listened to the songs you wrote every day, shared them with his friends, and asked Teacher Yu to listen to them for his students..."
"Ah... Dad must be crazy! Who told him to do such a thing? No wonder he kept hesitating to me during the video... I give in!"
Xia Yuan covered her face and protested, "Just wait and see how I'll teach him a lesson when I get back! No... I'm going to call my dad right now—"
"Your dad is proud of you too, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Mei Fang complained, "When I talked to my parents about this, guess what my dad said. He said my singing was too bad and told me not to sing duets with you in the future because it would lower your level."
"Ah... that... Uncle Mei... Uncle Mei must be joking with you, don't take it seriously, okay?"
"Not seriously, haha."
When Mei Fang was chatting with her parents this time, her mother Xiang Xiaoxia specifically asked whether Mei Fang and Xia Yuan had informed Lin Youxi in advance before singing the love song. It seemed that she was afraid that the relationship between the three of them would break down.
However, because the words her mother used were relatively obscure, Mei Fang vaguely felt that she might know or misunderstand something.
But don’t worry too much…
Lin Youxi held her chin with her hand and smiled, "I just briefly told him about singing, and he said he had heard it and that I sang very well, that's it."
"It's not that simple. Your father..."
Liang Meijuan seemed to be hesitant to speak, and then she touched her face a little embarrassedly, "Forget it, forget it... It's nothing."
"Mom... you don't mean it's nothing at all, do you? Tell me quickly." Lin Youxi began to act like a spoiled child towards Liang Meijuan.
"That's right, Aunt Liang can't keep secrets!"
Xia Yuan also assisted from the side, "So what happened to Uncle Lin?"
Liang Meijuan is really easy to talk to. She can't beat Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan at all.
"Your dad told me that he has set the song you sang as his cell phone ringtone. Friends on the construction site thought it sounded good and said that many of their friends have also set your song as their cell phone ringtone."
“Pfft—hahahahaha!”
After hearing this, Xia Yuan burst into laughter, and Lin Youxi also showed a rare angry expression.
"I'm going to call Dad right now."
As soon as she stood up, Mei Fang grabbed her and said, "Uncle Lin is still on the construction site at this hour. Are you going to die again?"
“It is better to die early than to die socially.”
"Oh, it's okay... Doesn't your dad want to hear your voice more often?"
"If you want to listen to the voice, you can listen to the music in private. If you miss me, can't you call me?"
"Yes, your dad also... He doesn't want to bother you too much. He actually told me not to tell you about this matter because he was afraid you would be angry."
Since the uncle incident, the relationship between Lin Youxi and his father has actually been a bit delicate. After all, it was Lin Guochuan's connivance that allowed his uncle to hurt his family. Lin Guochuan has always felt guilty about this and has become less close to Lin Youxi. Although Lin Youxi has Mei Fangxiayuan by her side, she is still concerned about her old father's condition.
"Okay... Then for mom's sake, I won't bother with him for now."
"Aunt Liang is still very respectable! If you are unhappy, I think we won't have any delicious soup when we come back."
"Oh... Yuanyuan, you are such a jerk. Your Aunt Liang is not that stingy... No matter what, I will still take good care of you."
We all had a very interesting dinner.
The meeting time with my cousin Mei Yue is on Saturday noon. Mei Fang and his family will have lunch with Sister Yue Yue first, and then take her to visit the school.
Before coming, Mei Yue told Mei Fang that she couldn't stand the atmosphere in the company and had resigned. The three little ones were very surprised to hear this.
"What a coincidence... Aren't we planning to set up a company right now? You're the one who caused Sister Yueyue to lose her job!"
"What kind of a jerk do you think I am?"
Mei Fang knocked on Xia Yuan's head and scolded her.
