“Has Sun Yaohuo gone to record another song with Xian Yu?”
“Yes, in the number one recording studio. I saw them go in with my own eyes.”
“All the other floors have produced at least one leading singer, but the ninth floor’s composition department still hasn’t managed to bring one up. Isn’t Xian Yu worried? And he is still wasting time with Sun Yaohuo?”
“Who knows what Xian Yu is thinking about? Why not just focus on promoting Jiang Kui? Jiang Kui has a much shorter journey to becoming a leading singer than Sun Yaohuo does.”
“…”
In a large company like Starlight, with its many employees, the gossip among them can get quite lively.
Especially among the several floors of the composition section, each of which is now striving to fulfill the company’s beginning-of-the-year talent promotion objectives. Naturally, they all pay close attention to the ninth floor’s performance.
There’s no lack of communication between the different departments.
Everyone knows that the ninth floor’s performance has been the poorest.
With only a few months left in the year, the rest of the composition departments are all wondering – can Xian Yu promote a leading singer before the end of the year during this final sprint?
“Looking at the situation, it seems the ninth floor probably won’t be able to promote even a single lead singer this year.”
“If Xian Yu left Sun Yaohuo and focused on promoting Jiang Kui during these last few months, there might still be some hope.”
“September to December, a total of four months, including December’s ‘dead group’. It’s going to be difficult.”
“The key thing is, on the current new song charts, not only are other companies pushing forward, but there is also often internal competition from Starlight. After all, all the floors are pushing.”
“…”
All the while, the company was abuzz with speculation.
In one of Starlight’s artist lounges.
Zhao Ying Ge scoffed: “Wouldn’t it have been better if Teacher Admirable Fish had simply chosen me for the ninth floor? It would have saved us from all of this passive waiting.”
The assistant chuckled: “I bet Teacher Admirable Fish now regrets not choosing you back then.”
Zhao Ying Ge was already predicted to make it onto the elite list, and it was considered as good as done.
Supported by the tenth-floor composition department, Zhao Ying Ge had indeed become one of the leading singers.
“Does he actually regret it?”
Zhao Ying Ge appeared somewhat delighted: “Does that mean Teacher Admirable Fish has noticed me? If I asked him to write a song for me next year, would he agree?”
Assistant: “…”
Turns out you’re working so hard just to get Teacher Admirable Fish’s attention?
“What’s wrong?”
Zhao Ying Ge glanced at her assistant.
The assistant laughed: “Nothing, I was just thinking about how much pressure must be on the ninth floor right now.”
“Hmph.”
Zhao Ying Ge, full of assurance, said: “If he had chosen me, I could easily have helped him complete the company’s assignment. Plus, the company has plans to make a King of Singing. Next time he’ll surely choose me!”
The assistant was puzzled: “Why does it have to be Xian Yu? Isn’t the tenth-floor composition section good enough?”
Zhao Ying Ge chuckled: “The tenth floor is indeed very good, but I just like Teacher Admirable Fish the most. I enjoy the feeling of his attention on me. I just want to sing songs he’s written.”
The assistant grinned, “The way you say this could easily lead to misunderstandings. You don’t actually have feelings for Teacher Admirable Fish, do you?”
“No, no, no, it’s not a misunderstanding. I indeed have feelings for him.”
Zhao Ying Ge looked at her assistant curiously: “Don’t you have feelings for Teacher Admirable Fish?”
The assistant was taken aback: “If you put it that way, any woman in the company, whether she’s single or not, who would dare to say she’s not fascinated by Teacher Admirable Fish. But the problem is, he has no interest in me.”
Zhao Ying Ge bit her lip, “How would you know if you haven’t tried?”
“…”
Lin Yuan had no idea about Zhao Ying Ge’s thoughts.
Of course, even if he did know, he probably wouldn’t care too much.
He had gotten used to such matters after dealing with them frequently.
The recording and post-production of “Ten Years” took some effort.
By the time the song was fully completed, it was already the end of the month.
To complicate matters, because of the frantic demand to finish within time, there hadn’t been much promotion for the song by the company, and it was released subtly at the dawn of September.
Initially, not many people paid attention to this song.
September wasn’t a period where fierce competition was common, so there weren’t many fans eagerly awaiting the release.
But over at Starlight, some people from the composition section were quite interested in Sun Yaohuo’s new song. Many of them deliberately stayed up to listen to it.
In the early hours of the morning.
When Sun Yaohuo’s song was released, the chat groups among Starlight’s composition teams lit up:
“It’s twelve o’clock!”
“Sun Yaohuo’s new song is out.”
“Tsk, tsk, let’s see if he’s wasted another good song from Xian Yu this time.”
“I predict this will be another situation where the song is popular but the singer is not.”
“I guess the song should be good, after all, it was written by Xian Yu. I’m just curious about how Sun Yaohuo will perform.”
“This is the one who can’t even be promoted by Xian Yu.”
“…”
Meanwhile.
At home, in her bedroom, Zhao Ying Ge quickly removed the mask from her face and reached out to her bedside laptop.
She opened the player, skillfully put on her headphones, and found Sun Yaohuo’s new song.
Song title: Ten Years
Lyrics: Xian Yu
Composer: Xian Yu
Singer: Sun Yaohuo
With quick movements of the mouse, Zhao Ying Ge clicked on play, then adjusted the pillow at the back of her head and comfortably closed her eyes.
What she was looking forward to was not Sun Yaohuo’s voice, but Xian Yu’s melody.
In the darkness of her closed eyes, a slightly hoarse male voice rang out, laced with slightly bitter undertones.
“If those two words hadn’t trembled, wouldn’t have found out that I’m in pain, to say it out loud, it’s just a breakup.”
Was it really Sun Yaohuo singing?
Zhao Ying Ge opened her tightly closed eyes, her gaze flashing with clear surprise.
The song in her ear was still playing, maintaining its slow rhythm:
“If there are no expectations for tomorrow, holding hands would have been just like a tour, among countless doorways, one of them has to leave first.”
In her daze, Zhao Ying Ge seemed to see a mismatched man and woman, standing on a broad street.
The light from the street lamps along the road was dim and lonely, casting long shadows of people.
“Since the embrace can no longer linger, why not let the tears flow while enjoying the goodbye…”
The two did have their reluctance. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been in an embrace.
However, something was already broken, so like the sudden blow of the night wind, it was blown away.
They parted ways.
The man went left, and the woman went right. Neither one of them looked back.
The music suddenly took an upward turn, and the voice in her ear was tinged with a cruel touch of tenderness:
“Ten years ago, I didn’t know you, and you didn’t belong to me, but we were still the same, walking through the familiar streets with a stranger by our side…”
The street scenery in the moonlight.
Time went by.
Some things really hadn’t changed.
It’s just that some things only seemed unchanged.
“Ten years later, we can still say hello as friends, only, that warmth can no longer be found within an embrace, lovers at last, inevitably become friends.”
Zhao Ying Ge gently sat up.
Meanwhile, in the internal chat group of Starlight’s composition process, the atmosphere remained quiet for a full ten minutes before someone posted:
“Xian Yu is still that Xian Yu.”
Immediately thereafter, he added another phrase: “Sun Yaohuo doesn’t seem to be the previous Sun Yaohuo anymore.”
