Chapter 230 A Glimmer of Hope

Zhou Heran quickly posted a new Weibo update.

However, he did not delete the previous Weibo post that caused an online uproar, nor did he edit it; he simply left it there as is.

Qi Xi set special reminders for all of Zhou Heran's official accounts.

So her phone got a notification right after Zhou Heran posted a new update.

Upon seeing the new post, reading it once seemed like a perfectly normal response, but Qi Xi quickly realized that the content of the post was not quite the same as what they had discussed before.

Zhou Heran V: [I got drunk last night and had a burst of inspiration, so I asked a friend to record a video for me. I just posted it casually. No other meaning intended. Those who want to watch the show, please leave.]

He was referring to a friend, not a newcomer at the studio, and offered no explanation. The final line, "This is for you," wasn't spoken to the person behind the camera alone, but rather to the fans.

Adding a message like "gifted to fans" would make it more credible and better debunk the rumors about the relationship.

However, Zhou Heran did not follow his previous statement. He neither mentioned that it was from his studio nor that it was a gift for his fans. He simply explained it as a friend.

This gives the explanation a somewhat suggestive flavor.

A friend can be a normal friend or a romantic partner.

More importantly, this statement, which seems to explain his outrageous behavior last night, never denied the relationship from beginning to end.

In a normal statement, it would typically state that the person in question is currently single and that all rumors about their romantic relationship are fabricated; this should be the first thing to clarify.

"Zhou Zhou, you used the term 'friends' instead of 'staff,' and you didn't say that the song was dedicated to fans. Doesn't this statement make it less credible?"

Zhou Heran shrugged indifferently, "But this song was originally meant for you. Since I said I'd give it to you, how could I go back on my word?"

Qi Xi wondered if she had misheard. "Given to me? But last night, wasn't that something you said casually when you were drunk?"

"Who says I just said it offhand? This song was inspired by you and was created for you, so naturally it's a gift for you. I never go back on my word."

Although Zhou Heran's brain would shut down forcibly when he got drunk, leaving him with almost no memory.

But after watching the video last night, based on the little memory he had left, he recalled that the melody of the song originated from Qi Xi.

It wasn't because he was drunk that he had a burst of inspiration.

It was because Qi Xi was standing in front of him that he suddenly had this inspiration.

Therefore, he wouldn't, in order to explain this matter, turn around and say that the song that was originally meant for Qi Xi was given to his fans, even though Qi Xi is also his fan.

But for some reason, he didn't want to say it that way; he just made this decision on his own.

Qi Xi felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Her heart was pounding so hard that she was so excited that her mind was a complete mess, and she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Yu Li jokingly said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. This song is only a demo right now. If my Xi Xi is going to accept a gift, she will only accept the complete song. That would show her sincerity."

Although Qi Xi was embarrassed, she secretly put one hand behind her back and gave her best friend a "I love you" gesture.

You have to admit, best friends are the most reliable. Although Qi Xi said that in order to deal with the rumors, it would be best to say that she would dedicate this song to all her fans.

But deep down, she still hoped that this song was truly written for her alone.

If this is mentioned in the future, she will be the most successful fan in chasing stars. After all, among Zhou Heran's group of fans, who else has the honor of having a song written exclusively for her by their idol?

Although Zhou Heran said that this song was dedicated to her, it is currently just a melody and not yet a complete song.

Upon hearing Yu Li's suggestion, Zhou Heran readily agreed and promised to complete it in the near future.

Qi Xi's smile stretched almost to the back of her ears; she was simply too happy!

Shao Yuke and the others also got up one after another, and naturally saw the hot topic online. They teased Zhou Heran, saying they never expected him to be so good at flirting after getting drunk.

Of course, for being so cheeky, Zhou Heran taught them a lesson by giving each of them a flick on the forehead.

Although the statement has been released, the impact of this incident is still significant, so Zhou Heran needs to go back to the studio. After all, the band doesn't belong to him alone, but to everyone's honor.

Shao Yuke and Nie Junheng also left one after another due to work or other matters.

Qi Chenyan originally wanted to clean up the leftovers from yesterday's dinner party. Since the dinner party ended very late, Yu Li didn't ask him to wake up the housekeeper.

Just as Qi Chenyan began preparing to clean, he suddenly received a phone call. There was urgent work that required him to return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately.

"You go ahead and do your work. Xixi, the housekeeper, and I will just tidy up a bit."

Qi Chenyan, still worried, instructed, "Don't move heavy things. You can lend a hand, and leave the rest to Xiaoxi and the housekeeper."

Qi Xi poked his head out from outside and gave an OK sign. "Uncle, don't worry about work. I'll take care of things here. I'll make sure your wife is well taken care of."

Qi Xi and the housekeeper took care of all the heavy lifting, such as moving tables, while Yu Li simply swept the floor.

Suddenly, Yu Li noticed two tickets. She picked them up and called out to her best friend, "Xi Xi, these are tickets to Jiang Donglin's world tour. I was so busy arguing with Tang Shi that I didn't even notice they were for the same concert."

"So, the orchestra that Tang Shi belongs to is Jiang Donglin's orchestra?"

Qi Xi immediately came over as well. Tang Shi took out the two tickets, clearly wanting to show off that she was a musician, and she also emphasized that Qi Chenyan had seen her perform many times before.

The ultimate goal was to sow discord between Yu Li and Qi Chenyan.

So when Qi Xi snatched the wine, he deliberately slapped the two tickets on the ground with a big wave of his hand, and even stomped on them twice, still not satisfied.

And look, on the back of the ticket, there are still clear footprints left by Qi Xi.

"Isn't Jiang Donglin the violinist you wanted to interview this time, Lili? I couldn't get in touch with him before because he was touring abroad."

"We finally found out he had a tour show in Beijing, but when we tried to buy tickets, they were already sold out. So, is this a case of 'after the darkest hour comes the dawn'?"

Although Jiang Donglin is a musician and not a celebrity, his violin skills are so high that he is at the level of a world master.

At such a young age, she has achieved so much, and she is also quite good-looking, so she has many fans all over the world.

Tickets for this tour back in China were extremely difficult to obtain.

Unexpectedly, her love rival came knocking on her door.

"From this perspective, the emergence of Tang poetry is not entirely a bad thing."
