Chapter 56 I find the green hills charming
Zhou Yuji sent a smug emoji: "This is called maximizing resource utilization. How about it, are you going to write it or not? The requirements are simple: First, it has to be related to Qingshan; second, it has to express my love for Qingshan; third, it has to be a little ambiguous, but not too straightforward—after all, I still have some face."
Looking at these three requirements, a line of poetry suddenly popped into Wang Bo's mind.
Without much thought, he typed two lines on the screen: "I find the green hills charming, and I suppose the green hills find me just as charming."
Click send.
A few seconds later, Zhou Yuji sent a string of exclamation marks: "!!!!!!!!!!"
This was followed by a 40-second voice message.
Wang Bo clicked on the link, and Zhou Yuji's excited, incoherent voice exploded in the earphones: "Wang Bo, Wang Bo, my god! These two lines... these two lines are amazing! 'I find the green hills so charming, and I suppose the green hills find me the same way,' how did you come up with that? This is even better than those two lines yesterday! Oh no, I'm completely captivated, your talent is simply nuclear-level!"
The voice paused for a moment, then Zhou Yuji's voice suddenly lowered, carrying that familiar, dangerous allure: "Little Wang, you've made me owe you again. Last time it was a French kiss, this time... I'll remember this one too. When I go back in winter and warm your bed, I'll pay you back with interest."
Wang Bo felt as if he had been electrocuted, as if an electric current was running through his body.
He mechanically turned his head to look at his reflection in the control room glass—his face turned red again.
That damn original body, it blushes way too easily.
"What's wrong?" Chen Mo peeked out from behind the control panel. "Is it your ex-boss again? Wang Bo, you're blushing a bit too often. Should I get you some cooling medicine?"
Wang Bo put his phone in his pocket: "It's okay, Sister Zhou... is quite enthusiastic."
"Enthusiasm?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. "I think it's burning hot. Alright, stop spacing out and come in to record."
Wang Bo took a deep breath and walked into the recording studio.
He put on his headphones and tested the microphone, but Zhou Yuji's words, "I'll pay you back with interest," were still echoing in his mind.
This woman... is truly a reincarnation of a demon.
He shook his head, banishing those chaotic thoughts from his mind, and focused on the music in front of him.
The recording of the school song went smoothly, and Wang Bo was in great form, getting it right in just two takes.
Chen Mo gave him a thumbs up in the control room: "Not bad, your voice today has a particularly story-telling quality."
Wang Bo walked out of the recording studio, picked up a water bottle, and took a few gulps.
His phone vibrated again. He thought it was Zhou Yuji again, but when he picked it up, he saw it was a notification from Douyin: "The 'Yiyi Qin Sheng' you follow has released a new work."
The sound of the zither, Su Yiyi's account.
Wang Bo clicked on it out of curiosity. Her account was just like any other user's, with no special embellishment. She only had a few hundred followers and a handful of works, most of which were related to music.
The latest post is a graphic and text piece, consisting of several photos and a short text, accompanied by the music "Encounter".
Wang Bo clicked on the photo.
The first picture shows him sitting at the piano in the Genting Restaurant, his profile turned towards the camera, his fingers dancing across the keys, his expression focused.
The photo was taken with great feeling; the light and shadow were handled perfectly, capturing his immersive state at the time.
The second photo is a candid shot of him talking to Su Xiaoxiao. He is saying something, while Su Xiaoxiao raises her eyebrows and looks at him. There is a subtle tension between the two.
The third one is...
Wang Bo swiped the screen and saw the caption: "The gears of fate have begun to turn."
These are the only ten characters; there is no mention of anyone, and no further explanation.
Wang Bo stared at the post, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.
He remembered Su Xiaoxiao saying, "My sister is a little sad," and he remembered that Su Yiyi didn't come to deliver the soup yesterday, and he remembered the occasional hint of loneliness that flashed in her gentle eyes.
Is this post a test?
Someone who almost never posts on social media suddenly uploaded a photo secretly taken on their blind date, along with this caption...
Wang Bo's finger hovered over the comments section for a few seconds.
He could have simply given a thumbs up and left, or left a polite remark like "Great shot."
But in the end, he typed a single line.
Then click send.
He put down his phone, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
This poem is more beautiful and has more charm than the two lines given to Zhou Yuji.
What will Su Yiyi think?
"Wang Bo," Chen Mo's voice interrupted his thoughts, "What are you daydreaming about? Come and listen to how the strings are tuned."
Wang Bo responded and put his monitoring headphones back on, but his mind was already wandering.
Meanwhile, Su Yiyi was sitting in the school office, holding her phone, her eyes glued to the screen.
She froze when she saw Wang Bo's comment.
She read the two lines of poetry, fourteen characters in total, over and over again. Her heart was pounding and her cheeks were burning.
Wang Bo used this line of poetry to respond to her "The gears of fate have begun to turn".
He was telling her that their meeting was precious, special, and surpassed countless ordinary encounters in the world.
Su Yiyi put down her phone and covered her burning face with her hands.
Yesterday, she was still upset about the two lines of the poem Wang Bo wrote for Zhou Yuji, and even had the thought of "staying away from Wang Bo in the future," feeling that she might just be wishful thinking.
but now……
She took a deep breath, picked up her phone again, tapped on Wang Bo's WeChat profile picture, and typed: "I'll be at the recording studio at 2 PM sharp... There'll be soup."
send.
Then she opened Douyin (TikTok) and replied with a simple smiley face emoji under Wang Bo's comment.
After doing all that, she leaned back in her chair and looked at the sunlight outside the window.
Perhaps, love has truly arrived.
She needs to work hard to maintain this relationship and not back down over something as trivial as she did yesterday.
She felt ashamed that she had thought of distancing herself from Wang Bo yesterday.
In an inn at the foot of a snow-capped mountain in the Western Regions.
Zhou Yuji was editing a video on her laptop when her phone suddenly popped up a notification from Douyin (TikTok): Your friend "Yiyi Qinsheng" has a new post.
She clicked on it and saw the photos and captions posted by Su Yiyi, as well as Wang Bo's comments.
Staring at these words, Zhou Yuji's smile slowly faded.
She remained silent for a long time, her fingers unconsciously sliding across the touchpad, the timeline in the video editing software going back and forth, but she couldn't find a suitable editing point.
Finally, she let out a long sigh and turned off the computer.
I walked to the window, and outside were majestic snow-capped mountains, gleaming brightly in the sunlight.
She recalled her thoughts when she introduced Wang Bo to Su Xiaoxiao—although her main intention was to give Wang Bo a better platform for development, deep down she also had the idea of "keeping the benefits within the family."
Su Xiaoxiao is her best friend, and Wang Bo is an artist she admires. If the two of them could get together, she, as the matchmaker, would be very proud.
But things took an unexpected turn.
Wang Bo and Su Xiaoxiao did work together seamlessly, but emotionally, he seemed to be more compatible with Su Yiyi.
That gentle girl, the girl whose eyes would light up when she saw Wang Bo playing the piano, the girl who would stew and deliver soup to him every day.
