Chapter 89

As the cherry blossoms danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

Li Huanle walked forward, deep in thought, and decided to use the incident with Yu Yongzhen to forcefully insert himself into this circle. After all, Li Huanle understood that plans often couldn't keep up with changes. This was already the second unexpected event; the first was naturally the land acquisition by Choi Corporation back then.

Li Huanle wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but his tired heart seemed to beat a little faster. Even someone with an invincible heart could get tired, but at this moment, Li Huanle truly felt a sense of enjoyment—not from the entertainment industry, but from the enjoyment derived from the things he was doing. It was interesting... very interesting...

If he had truly enjoyed himself more while learning music, wouldn't it have felt better?

If he had been more active in his thinking while learning scriptwriting, and really felt these stories, even writing his own, wouldn't he have been happier?

Even for dance practice, he could just treat it as a form of exercise, which would also save him the considerable expense of going to the gym.

Thinking about it this way, the things he did every day weren't so monotonous, and even putting in more effort wouldn't be a problem.

"Damn, why are you running so fast? Can't you let me hit you a couple of times!" Watching Li Huanle run farther and farther away, Quan Baolan called out angrily.

Han Eun-jung, who was walking behind, said with a laugh, "Baolan unnie and Li Huanle hyung have a really good relationship. They look like a brother and sister, and it's hard to tell they had a childhood together."

"Right, I actually think Baolan unnie is younger than me!" Park Ji-yeon, who was still a bit bloated, said with a smile.

Park Hyo-min and Park In-jeong, who were standing nearby, also joined in with a laugh. Only Lee Ji-hyeon, who was walking at the back, looked at Li Huanle's distant figure and suddenly felt that "he's running so fast." The feeling was a bit strange, indescribable, but her mood suddenly became a bit low.

After more than ten minutes, the group finally returned to the dormitory building. Li Huanle stood at the door, waving to the six of them with a smile, then turned and walked into the heavy rain of the night.

...

The next morning, on many search websites, Li Huanle and Yu Yongzhen's names were both ranked in the top five of the real-time search charts. At the same time, the video Li Huanle posted yesterday sparked heated discussions. Some praised him, while others criticized him for being arrogant and self-important.

But no matter what, this incident had truly caused a stir. Li Huanle's rise in fame exceeded people's expectations, and even Li Huanle himself found it speechless. He had worked so hard to take the first few steps, but all his efforts were not as effective as yesterday's video.

...

Xu Xian, who had gotten up early to exercise, heard the sound of her unnie outside and curiously ran out. She saw Sun-gye unnie, wearing a white nightgown and holding a laptop, looking at something with Hyo-yun unnie. Xu Xian also curiously walked over.

"Unnie, what are you looking at? Playing on the computer so early?"

Lee Sun-gye, seeing the already neatly dressed maknae, suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "Xian-ah, you're in contact with that Li Huanle hyung, right? Why don't you ask him what he's thinking? Although I don't really like Teacher Yu Yongzhen, his challenge is really arrogant!"

"What arrogance? That's what a man should be. And I think Li Huanle hyung is right. That song was good, I don't know why Teacher Yu Yongzhen said it was so bad. It's just like the situation with the sheet music last time. There must be some personal grudge!" Kim Hyo-yun said with a serious face, clearly a staunch ally of Li Huanle.

"Okay, no matter how well you speak, Xian won't give you the phone number!" Lee Sun-gye replied indifferently, then handed the laptop to Xu Xian and went to wash up.

Xu Xian, holding the laptop curiously, was pulled to the sofa by Kim Hyo-yun, who then played the video on the screen with a smile.

At this moment, Xu Xian also noticed the name of the uploader: Happy Musician.

The title was "Mr. Yu Yongzhen, Let's Have a Pleasant Battle."

On a black background, white text slowly appeared.

"Last night, I saw quite a few reports online. My first thought was... Do Mr. Yu Yongzhen and I know each other? If I'm a bit impolite, I could say, 'Who are you?'"

"If Mr. Yu Yongzhen really considers himself a senior in music and wants to give some advice to his juniors, I would of course be happy and gratefully accept it. But after watching Mr. Yu Yongzhen's comments, my only feeling was, 'Did this senior eat something wrong last night?'"

"From uploading the video to now, it's only been a little over a month, and I only have four works. I'm still learning, but suddenly, a mysterious senior comes out and says I might always be a third-rate rookie musician just because I created a hip-hop ballad. Should I thank him? But I'm not like someone who eats too much."

"If that was all, it would be fine, but what's more heartbreaking is that a certain senior made baseless speculations, like CCM promotion? Learning time definitely wasn't three months?"

"Although reading the whole thing gives the impression that he hopes I don't lose my personal musical style, the strong tone and malicious speculations make it feel full of malice."

"But... I'm a very optimistic person and won't maliciously speculate about Mr. Yu Yongzhen's thoughts. However, as a young person, I think I should have more character and at least have my own persistence!"

"Mr. Yu Yongzhen thinks I've lost my personal style, but I want to say, do you really know me? How do you know I'm not a jack-of-all-trades?"

"If Mr. Yu Yongzhen really has good intentions, why not accept my challenge? I'll upload a new work in a month, and I hope Mr. Yu Yongzhen will evaluate it. If the work is acceptable, I won't make things difficult for Mr. Yu Yongzhen. He can just issue an apology statement through a media outlet regarding yesterday's comments!"

"I hope Mr. Yu Yongzhen will respond to this video soon. My blood is boiling, and my musical inspiration has run from my head to my toes... Also, for those who like my music, there will be a surprise in a month!"
