It's a beautiful day today.

The warm sunshine, mixed with a gentle breeze on a winter morning, drifted into a vocal practice room in the Yunhe Hotel.

The world outside the window was bathed in bright colors under the high-shining sun. In the distance, waves occasionally crashed against the beach, where the blue sea met the yellow sand. Upon closer inspection, couples strolling side by side unintentionally became part of this romantic scene.

In the practice room, Luo Sheng sat in the seat that originally belonged to Yu Nian, his slender fingers lightly touching the piano keys, and the accompaniment flowed out slowly. At this moment, Yu Nian also picked up the microphone next to her and sang softly, her unique voice instantly filling the entire room.

The two worked together, and that's how they opened up the musical world of "Satsuma Mandarin Orange".

The elegant piano music perfectly complemented the melody, like a little girl performing her love story on the beach, sweet yet melancholic.

As the piano music began, the singing began, and every note resonated in the quiet room, stirring the hearts of the two musicians.

When the song ended, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"It's a success!"

"We did it!"

Although she didn't know what the outcome would be tonight, Yu Nian was certain that this was the most harmonious and fruitful collaboration she and Luo Sheng had ever had in their musical creation.

With less than two hours until the music festival was about to start, Yu Nian and Luo Sheng had been rehearsing since returning from the practice room, and only stopped when the staff came to urge them to arrange their makeup and styling.

At 6 p.m., the Inspiration Music Festival officially began at Yunhe Park.

At this moment, the host stood in the center of the stage, smiling and facing the live broadcast camera very formally: "Good evening, everyone, welcome to our Inspiration Music Festival live broadcast room."

"This event will be broadcast live from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. This music festival will present impromptu stage performances by sixteen music producers."

"Now, let's have our photographer switch the camera to our judging panel. First, let's give a round of applause to our first judge, Ms. Yu Shu! Our second judge, Ms. Amin! Our third judge, Mr. Su Ruihu!"

"Finally, we have a special guest, Mr. Huang Jiating! Let's give him a round of applause!!"

The live stream camera panned across the judging panel until it landed on the man named Huang Jiating, at which point the live stream chat instantly filled the entire screen with comments.

Since the selection process involved drawing lots to go on stage, Yu Nian and Luo Sheng, who drew the number 6, waited backstage, completely unaware of what was happening on stage.

"Niannian, are you nervous?" Luo Sheng couldn't help but ask as he watched Yu Nian pacing back and forth.

If she keeps shaking him like this, he'll kick the bucket before he even gets on stage.

The person being called upon awkwardly scratched their head, remained silent for a moment as if trying to explain something, but then a phone call made them instantly forget their lines.

"Aha, Brother Luo Sheng, I'm not nervous at all. I'm going out to answer a phone call."

Seeing that she was being stubborn, Luo Sheng didn't laugh at her, but the name on the caller ID made him frown.

Why is it him again?

Also, why is he saved as "Super Love-Brained Luo Sheng" while Song Ci is saved as "Super Handsome Guy"?

The little girl who praised his handsome looks ten years ago is gone.

Yu Nian, who went outside to answer the phone, suddenly felt much more relaxed. It was so stuffy inside. Breathing in some fresh air and hearing someone's voice made her feel much better.

Yu Nian: "Hello?"

The voice on the phone said, "It's me, Song Ci."

Yu Nian: "I knew it was you. Why did you suddenly call me?"

Song Ci: "I'm here to supervise whether someone is singing well, and also to see if someone is about to be kidnapped?"

Yu Nian laughed: "Oh~ So it's just fans coming to supervise the construction. Don't worry, I only have a career mindset now, not a love mindset, so I won't be led astray by a big jerk."

Ha, you stupid man, would you get killed if you said you missed her?

Song Ci blushed and said, "Ahem. Don't talk about your future husband like that."

Pretending not to have heard anything, Yu Nian chuckled and asked, "Oh, by the way, are you coming tonight?"

Song Ci: "Yes, of course. I'll come pick you up when it's over."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Yu laughed even harder: "Okay, see you later!"

Wang Yougan, watching his boss hang up the phone: ...

So what if you're in a relationship? So what if you have a partner? Just because you have a wife doesn't mean you can't pick her up yourself?

I promised this guy he'd have paid leave to go on a trip during his business trip, but look what happened? I was told this morning that the trip was over, and instead I got a job as a driver! Thank you so much, Song Ci.

You're exhausted but still messing around. Sooner or later, I'll have Miss Yu drain all your yang energy.

See if you can still head straight to the music festival after getting off the plane to win a smile from a beauty.

Oh, he seems to have forgotten something. His young master hasn't won over Miss Yu Nian yet!

Young master, you're not good enough!

As Yu Nian was walking towards the restroom after hanging up the phone, she suddenly heard a conversation nearby. The voices were very soft, but Yu Nian still heard them.

North is up, south is down, west is left, and east is right. The voices seemed to be coming from her right, or perhaps from behind; she was so nervous she couldn't quite pinpoint their source. The intermittent, conspiratorial sounds made her realize this wasn't a normal conversation.

Following the principle that curiosity killed the cat, she tried to walk around it, but because she has a poor sense of direction, she bumped into a man and a woman whispering next to the toilet.

No, she wasn't actually curious, nor did she have the courage to listen.
