After suppressing the ripples in his heart, Xia Tian shook his head and declined politely, "Forget it. As a big star, you must be very busy with your work every day. I don't want to let such a small matter affect your career."
Qiu Mengyun's eyes, which were originally full of rage, turned cold in an instant after hearing Xia Tian's answer. She rolled her eyes and glanced at Xia Tian, then turned her head away without saying a word, opened a can of beer and started drinking it.
Seeing her reaction, Xia Tian secretly congratulated himself: Phew! I knew this woman wasn't as simple as she seemed. How could she possibly be that gentle and considerate little white flower? Luckily, I have a keen eye and can see through her little tricks at a glance. Otherwise, I would have definitely been fooled and laughed at by her.
Qiu Mengyun was also internally complaining about Xia Tian: "Hmph! What a jerk! He's such a straight man. Miss Kui Ben felt sorry for you and wanted to comfort you, but I didn't expect you to be so humiliating. Don't ask me to come to you if you need anything in the future. Otherwise, even if you get your head bruised, I won't pity you."
The two of them just sat there, each drinking the wine in their hands, and no one spoke.
It wasn't until he saw Qiu Mengyun finish three cans of beer in a row that Xia Tian couldn't help but ask, "Are you full? If not, tell me what you want to eat and I'll grill some for you."
"No need, I can't eat anymore." Qiu Mengyun said indifferently.
Xia Tian didn't care about her attitude and said with a smile: "Now that we're full, when are we going back? Otherwise, I'll find a designated driver online first, in case it's too late and it's hard to find one."
Seeing that Xia Tian had actually started arranging a designated driver to take her home, Qiu Mengyun said angrily, "Do you really hate being with me? What? Is it embarrassing to go out to eat with me?"
Xia Tian quickly shook his head and denied it, "How could that be? I didn't mean that. I'm just worried that it will be too late soon, and it won't be safe for me to be out there alone with a beautiful girl like you. Although I'm confident in my skills, I don't underestimate your charm. I'm really worried that if something unexpected happens, I won't be able to protect you."
"What you said is quite knowledgeable. Since you are so honest, you don't have to worry about finding a designated driver. I will arrange someone to pick us up." Qiu Mengyun simply ignored Xia Tian's words of concern for her safety, and only remembered the fact that he praised her for her beauty and charm.
"Well, as long as you have the arrangements." Xia Tian had no objections to Qiu Mengyun's arrangements. Since they had already made the arrangements, that was even better. It would also save him some money on the designated driver. Wouldn't it be nice to buy a couple of packs of cigarettes with the money he saved?
"Xia Tian, can I ask you, is the song "Courage" you just gave me really written by you?" After the romance of love and love was gone, Qiu Mengyun naturally talked about music again.
"What do you mean? Do you not believe in my ability, or do you doubt my character? I tell you, you can question my character, but you cannot question my talent. If you really doubt me, please produce evidence."
The reason why Xia Tian reacted so violently and spoke so forcefully was because he was genuinely shocked when he heard Qiu Mengyun's question.
What did this woman mean? Why did she ask that? Did she see something, guess she didn't write this song? Was it because the style of this song was so different from the previous one, "I Came Across the Ocean to See You"? But that shouldn't be the case. Many talented songwriters have a wide range of works, and they don't arouse suspicion! Or is there another time traveler in this world, and this song has been moved beforehand?
Although Xia Tian had a cold face and appeared calm and indifferent on the surface, he was not calm at all in his heart at this moment, and his brain was working rapidly.
Qiu Mengyun didn't expect that her casual question would cause such a big reaction from Xia Tian.
But after a moment's pause, she finally understood. Every song is the product of the songwriter's labor of love, and classics like "Across the Ocean to See You" and "Courage" represent an untold amount of effort. It's said that many songwriters consider their work their own children. She hadn't meant anything else when she asked that question, but to Xia Tian, it must have seemed like he lacked experience and credentials, not a full-time music student, and therefore questioned his originality, even accusing him of plagiarism.
If he truly misunderstood her, then his anger was understandable. After all, no matter who the songwriter is, they don't take kindly to being accused of plagiarism. Especially since Xia Tian had just given her a classic hit, and she asked such an inappropriate question. It's like someone offering you their beautiful, lovely daughter as their wife, and you ask, "Is your daughter your own?" in front of her father.
After figuring out the reasons, Qiu Mengyun felt that she was truly wrong this time. Even though Xia Tian wasn't well-known in the music world, she should still show due respect to him for having written two classics in a row.
She climbed up from the blanket and stood in front of Xia Tian. Then, she bowed and apologized earnestly, "Xia Tian, I'm sorry! I sincerely apologize. I know my question just now may have misunderstood you. However, I ask you to believe that I was just asking casually and did not mean to question your plagiarism."
