"Everything will only happen to you, and you will perish."
"Is this you Song Ci?" Luo Sheng asked himself.
After their date, the two were in sync at work. After returning from Yuncheng with Song Ci, Yu Nian came to the studio with a head full of inspiration.
As soon as I entered the recording studio, I heard Luo Sheng reciting the lyrics of "Ice Blue Coast".
"I've got an idea."
Yu Nian snatched the paper and pen from Luo Sheng's hand and, without even taking a sip of water, began to compose her ideas.
When Luo Sheng saw Yu Nian rushing back, he had many questions for her, such as where she had been all day, as he had been informed that Yu Nian had taken leave when he arrived early in the morning.
Although he knew she most likely went out with Song Ci, he felt a lot of dissatisfaction when he thought of Song Ci.
But as the words were about to come out, he realized that, apart from work, he had no right or position to say anything to the two of them.
He made his choice two years ago, didn't he?
Now, aside from glancing at him as she entered, Yu Nian focused all her attention on that piece of paper.
She filled a slightly wrinkled and blank sheet of paper to the brim in an instant.
When she's composing, she likes to mutter to herself and occasionally goes to the piano to adjust the pitch of the piece.
Looking at Yu Nian, who was so engrossed in her work and radiating light, Luo Sheng suddenly had a few flashes of inspiration.
It's always strange.
He often imagines Yu Nian's face as the female protagonist in many of his songs.
He hated himself for being like that.
But I habitually convince myself that it's all just work.
He closed his eyes, no longer looking at Yu Nian who was squatting by the piano scratching her head, forcing himself to calm down, and left the recording studio. He went to his desk, casually tore off a brown sticky note, and wrote down the inspiration that had just flashed through his mind.
Time flies, and by the time Yu Nian finished the whole piece, it was already 10 p.m.
She twisted her sore neck, stretched, and got up from the ground.
Oh dear, I'm so tired and sleepy.
Let's go to the lounge and take a nap first.
The next day in the recording studio.
Yu Nian is practicing what she wrote yesterday, "Ice Blue Coast".
A cool, clear voice, brimming with emotion, every word whispering the love between two people.
"They all say that the Blue Coast is only for winter."
"Just like in the vast universe, every day a lonely star is removed from the list."
"Time carries the weight of snow, memories flow like fireflies."
"I seek my favorite, like a whale venturing into the sea."
"I will not be a lonely star in the sky."
"I just want to be with you on the icy blue coast;"
"Butterflies and fish flap their wings in unison."
"Fish kiss butterflies, and I will kiss you."
"For the rest of my life, I will love you the most."
Yu Nian played the piano and sang softly, seemingly immersed in her own world, unaware that Luo Sheng and Brother Lu had entered.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
A round of applause came from behind, and Yu Nian stopped what she was doing after realizing that Brother Lu and Luo Sheng had arrived.
"Brother Lu, Brother Luosheng, you're here." Yu Nian nodded to the two of them, handed her manuscript to Brother Lu, and greeted them.
After watching Yu Nian's rendition of "Ice Blue Coast" with a serious expression, Lu Ge was no less surprised than Luo Sheng, who had just heard the song.
Yu Nian has indeed grown a lot.
"Hahaha, not bad, Yu Nian, you've improved a lot lately. Judging by the quality and speed of your compositions, I think you two could go out and work on your own."
It was obvious that Brother Lu was very satisfied with the adaptation. He nodded in satisfaction, unable to suppress a smile as he looked at the two of them, feeling more gratified than anything else.
Upon hearing the words "going solo," Luo Sheng's feelings became complicated.
It seemed that without realizing it, Yu Nian needed him less and less; she seemed to be getting better and better.
Going solo? Does that mean the tangerine business is about to end?
“Yu Nian, Luo Sheng, now that the piece is finished, let’s send it to Teacher Huang Jiating and Teacher Su Yun for their review immediately. If the two teachers don’t have any better suggestions, I propose that we finish all the finishing touches as soon as possible and advance the application for the Golden Tree Award. The sooner the judging committee sees our piece, the better.”
After saying that, Brother Lu patted the two of them on the shoulders, waiting for their reply.
Yu Nian was in a great mood after gaining a lot. "Okay, Brother Lu, I'll discuss it with Brother Luo Sheng again. Once we have no objections, I'll send the piece to the two teachers right away."
"Alright, you two, work on it some more. You absolutely must win this Golden Tree Award. Good luck!"
After leaving some words of encouragement, Brother Lu walked away confidently and swaggered off.
In the spacious recording studio, only Yu Nian and Luo Sheng remained.
"Brother Luo Sheng, I heard you were busy all night last night too. Did you come up with any good ideas?"
Yu Nian looked at Luo Sheng, whose expression was a little stiff, and guessed that he might be in a bad mood and the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she spoke up to break the silence.
Luo Sheng, whose mind was still preoccupied with Lu Ge's words, snapped out of his reverie upon hearing the voice. He crumpled the paper he had been hiding behind his back into a ball, then held it in his hand and quietly tossed it to the ground.
"No. I haven't come up with anything. I think your adaptation this time is quite good, I..."
"I don't have anything to change here."
Luo Sheng spoke in a flat tone, but a careful observer would notice that he was in low spirits and not really in the mood.
"Really? Have I made great progress? 'Ice Blue Coast' is definitely my favorite song since I started making music. I have to thank Song Ci for this. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have made such progress..." Yu Nian became more and more excited when she mentioned Song Ci.
"I have something to do, I'll be going now."
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Sheng left in a hurry, seemingly somewhat annoyed.
With a cold tone, Yu Nian couldn't understand how the person who had been cheerful when he just entered the door could suddenly change his expression.
Could it be that they've had another conflict with baijiu (Chinese liquor)?
But it's good that she's gone; the recording studio is finally quiet. She flicked the paper in her hand, feeling much better.
She is absolutely confident about winning the Golden Tree Award this time.
With this wonderful feeling, Yu Nian began cleaning up the messy recording studio, which was littered with papers.
She was humming a song as she swept the floor when she accidentally kicked a crumpled piece of paper that was a slightly different color.
Brown sticky notes?
She's never used sticky notes.
Yu Nian, who has always been very curious, finally opened the sticky note of unknown origin.
The familiar handwriting immediately made her recognize the owner of the sticky note.
"On the icy blue coast, lies an unspeakable stirring of the heart."
"In the endless vortex, the deep sea binds me."
Yu Nian glanced at it, and although she didn't understand why Luo Sheng had written lyrics but didn't say anything, she still threw the paper back according to his wishes.
She didn't understand.
She suddenly remembered the obvious dark circles under Luo Sheng's eyes.
I was busy all night and only managed to write two sentences?
She didn't understand.
