Cheng Xiaoyu walked quickly, but he didn't know that a huge uproar had already erupted in the school.
Of course, most people sneered at the rumor that the perverted guy had left with the goddess Su. Come on, it's not April Fool's Day today. There should be a limit to spreading rumors, right? You might as well tell me that Godzilla attacked Japan, which would be more believable.
Although the rumor spread widely, most of the students at Fudan High School had the above attitude and didn't believe it, thinking that someone was trying to smear Su Yuxi.
However, in Class 2, Grade 3, where the incident was witnessed, the atmosphere was different. The second class in the afternoon was unusually quiet, even Xia Shamo, who never daydreamed in class, was distracted.
When the teacher called her to answer a question, she could only blush and say, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention just now. Could you please tell me what the question was, teacher?"
Then the class buzzed with low whispers, all discussing why Cheng Xiaoyu could have so many interactions with so many beautiful girls. After all, he didn't seem to have anything particularly outstanding about him.
Wang Ou couldn't contain his curiosity and wanted to send a text message to ask Cheng Xiaoyu about his relationship with the goddess Su. He secretly took out his phone, which was on silent mode, opened the messaging app, but didn't know how to ask, so he just typed a row of dots.
Cheng Xiaoyu received the message and just replied with a smiley face, ignoring Wang Ou's curiosity.
Cheng Xiaoyu first took Su Yuxi to the physiotherapy room, then quietly sat by the door and reviewed his history notes. After Su Yuxi completed all the rehabilitation steps in forty-five minutes, he went into the physiotherapy room to carry her out.
The physiotherapist helped Cheng Xiaoyu carry Su Yuxi and smiled, saying, "Your boyfriend is really good to you."
Su Yuxi, in a rare good mood, smiled slightly and said, "He's my brother."
Cheng Xiaoyu blushed a bit, feeling awkward as he carried Su Yuxi and said to the female physiotherapist in a white coat and mask, "Thank you. I'll come again tomorrow."
The physiotherapist, seeing such a stark contrast in appearance between the siblings, was a bit surprised and assumed they were not biological siblings.
Back home, Cheng Xiaoyu took Su Yuxi to her room to rest, then went to his recording studio to continue his unfinished work.
Since he was already used to setting up the mixing console and recording by himself, the song, which was already half-completed with the music, was finished quickly.
After all, he already had a complete template in his mind, so it was easy to complete the work step by step.
Cheng Xiaoyu was in the music studio when the Filipino maid came to call him for dinner twice. Since the mixing was almost done, he didn't want to leave and told the maid to leave some food for him.
When he finally completed the last segment of the mix, he stretched, feeling hungry, and turned to find Su Yuxi standing behind him on one foot.
Cheng Xiaoyu quickly got up, turned the chair, and helped Su Yuxi sit down, saying, "Why did you come over?"
Su Yuxi pointed to an insulated box and said, "I brought you some food! You really are so dedicated that you forget to eat and sleep."
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "There was just a little bit of finishing work left, and I didn't want to break my work rhythm, so I didn't eat. You didn't have to bring the food yourself. Your foot isn't fully healed, and I told you to move less."
Su Yuxi blinked her beautiful big eyes mischievously and said, "I've actually wanted to come and see your little base for a long time, but I was too shy. Today, I finally have a good excuse to come in, so I couldn't miss the opportunity."
Cheng Xiaoyu reached over Su Yuxi's body, controlled the mouse to save the music he had just made, and said to Su Yuxi, "You can come anytime. Don't make it sound like I'm in a dragon's lair or something."
Su Yuxi looked up at Cheng Xiaoyu's side face. Just now, he was wearing headphones, focused on his work, and his entire being was shining with the light of thought, making her feel that her brother could also be very handsome at times. She was curious about the music Cheng Xiaoyu had completed and asked, "Can we play the song now?"
Cheng Xiaoyu nodded and then turned to ask Su Yuxi, who was sitting in a seductive posture, "Do you want to listen?" Su Yuxi was wearing a silk lace ruffled nightgown, which, though loose, couldn't hide her attractive figure. Her feet dangled in front of the chair, and her hands were on the edge of the chair, leaning forward.
Perhaps she had long let down her guard around Cheng Xiaoyu, so she didn't realize that the large round neckline was slightly open, revealing her beautiful collarbone and a perfect curve.
Cheng Xiaoyu accidentally glanced at it and immediately turned away, trying to hide his embarrassment. Inside, he was shouting, "I'm a man with experience, how can I lack self-control in front of my sister?" He tried to push the endless fantasies out of his mind but couldn't forget that extremely beautiful scene.
Su Yuxi, of course, didn't know that her perfect appearance and flawless figure were such powerful weapons. She answered Cheng Xiaoyu innocently, "Of course, I and Ning Ning are both waiting for your work."
Cheng Xiaoyu, trying to hide his inner excitement, stared at the computer screen and didn't dare to look at Su Yuxi again. He smiled and said, "The work will definitely be fine. I already have ideas in my head, and I'll definitely tailor it for you." Then Cheng Xiaoyu turned on the speakers, opened the player, and said to Su Yuxi, "This song is for the other three members of our band, called 'Our Story.'" He then clicked play.
How long will you be by my side?
How can we make time flow backward?
Every minute, every second is precious
Yeah.......
The hand that holds tight doesn't want to let go
The 10:30 flight is waiting
Don't let your tears flow anymore
I have to go
Remember
Our story is unforgettable
So many memories and hopes
No matter how crazy it is
I'm willing to cherish it for a lifetime
Our story can't be forgotten
So many plots to unfold
Don't give up because one day fate will continue
It will definitely continue
I know you're lonely
Being alone is really hard
Missing is a pain
How can I live without you
Surrounded by temptations
It's easy to make mistakes if you're not firm
Can you see the future rewards
Are you willing to wait patiently
Yeah.......
Our story is unforgettable
So many memories and hopes
No matter how crazy it is
I'm willing to cherish it for a lifetime
Our story can't be forgotten
So many plots to unfold
Don't give up because one day fate will continue
Let's finish it together.
This was the first time Cheng Xiaoyu truly performed a song in the R&B style.
It was also the first time Su Yuxi had listened to this type of music. The "Sword Pulling Tune" she had heard before was operatic, with grand and stirring symphonic arrangements. "Huangpu River" was a fresh and pleasant folk song. Later, "Hypnosis" and "Flower of Withering" were alternative and psychedelic light rock, "Snail" was an inspiring children's song, and "Dragon Gate Inn" was a country rock that claimed to return to its roots.
One could say that Cheng Xiaoyu's music had no fixed style. He could easily play any style and add his own interpretation to the original fixed music style, evolving it into his unique music.
And "Our Story" was a completely new style, distinct from the current popular music in terms of composition, arrangement, and singing style. It had a hint of Western jazz but was entirely different.
This kind of pop music was unique, exquisite, melodious, and not at all vulgar. This greatly surprised Su Yuxi about Cheng Xiaoyu's musical talent, making her even more eager to hear the songs he would write for them.
Although others considered Su Yuxi a prodigy, she never thought of herself that way. At most, she thought she might be a bit smarter, but far from being called a genius.
But now she believed her brother was a true genius, at least in terms of musical sensitivity and creativity. She felt that Cheng Xiaoyu would definitely become an epic figure in music, even though he was currently unknown.
After listening, Su Yuxi didn't waste words and asked Cheng Xiaoyu directly, "Do you have any other completed works?"
Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated, thinking of the songs on the GG website that had flopped, but felt a bit embarrassed to bring them up, so he didn't tell the truth and said, "No, because of the college entrance exam and the arts exam, I don't have time to record now."
Su Yuxi sighed regretfully and said, "If I had known you were so talented, I wouldn't have participated in the idol plan. Any company with a songwriter as talented as you would find it hard not to dominate the Chinese music scene."
Cheng Xiaoyu knew that things sounded simple but would be difficult to achieve. Thinking of the classic songs he had uploaded that no one cared about, he could only laugh bitterly and say, "I think my music is too ahead of its time. The current audience might not be able to accept it."
Su Yuxi smiled and said, "As long as you don't give up, I will definitely see the day when you shine."
Cheng Xiaoyu, of course, had such confidence and smiled and nodded.
Su Yuxi pressed her hands on the chair and stood up, saying, "Tomorrow is Ning Ning's birthday. I promised to go to her birthday party with you, but now I can't. Brother, when you go, please take the gift for her."
Cheng Xiaoyu thought of the deep-well ice Xu Qinling and felt a headache, asking with a worried face, "Can I leave after giving the gift?"
Su Yuxi saw Cheng Xiaoyu's reluctant expression and couldn't help but smile, saying, "At least you have to pretend. When no one is paying attention, sneak away. Yeah, I won't admit I told you this!" She then slowly moved toward the door, her ankle wrapped in a bandage, so she didn't feel pain, but she couldn't walk too fast.
Cheng Xiaoyu watched Su Yuxi return to her room, opened the insulated box, and started eating. This meal was particularly sweet.
The next day, as soon as Cheng Xiaoyu arrived at class, he attracted curious glances. He didn't care and didn't think he needed to explain, so he sat down and started reviewing politics.
Wang Ou, as soon as he arrived, grabbed Cheng Xiaoyu's neck and shouted, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll die with you. How could you defile my goddess in my heart!!"
Cheng Xiaoyu, knowing he would face Wang Ou's questioning, stuck out his tongue and said in a muffled voice, "Damn, you're choking me. How can I speak?"
Wang Ou let go, his face full of indignation, and said, "Do you know, you're now on Fudan High School's blacklist, the number one target for a beating. If you don't come forward to deny it, I don't think you'll be able to leave this school alive today."
Cheng Xiaoyu pushed Wang Ou's hand off his shoulder, smiled, and said softly, "Su Yuxi is my sister."
Wang Ou's mouth opened wide enough to swallow an egg, finding it hard to believe, and said, "Say that again?"
Cheng Xiaoyu, annoyed, spread out his politics book and continued reviewing.
Wang Ou, realizing Cheng Xiaoyu wasn't joking, asked, "Biological siblings? Or cousins?"
Cheng Xiaoyu, in a bad mood, said, "Guess!"
Wang Ou immediately shouted, "Brother, please accept my bow."
Cheng Xiaoyu kicked Wang Ou with his foot and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tell Xia Shamo!"
Wang Ou had to return to his seat with a bitter face. Xia Shamo was his Achilles' heel, and fortunately, only Cheng Xiaoyu knew about it.
