Chapter 67

"Truly, I like this song a lot. Lin Mu, how can I persuade you to sell it to me? The price you gave to those stars wouldn't be high either. Please think about it, okay..."

Under the relatively quiet campus sycamore tree, Chen Jing grabbed Lin Mu's arm, her face full of pleading.

She really had no other choice. The melody and lyrics on the sheet music, once understood at first glance, had been haunting her heart, unable to let go.

For the entire afternoon, she was distracted, unable to grasp the emotions needed for her acting, resulting in many NGs.

The crew didn't blame her because they were also immersed in the song "Dream Chaser," finding it unforgettable.

Imagine, originally thinking of oneself as ordinary, suddenly having someone write the most top-notch music, and being the first to see and sing this sheet music. The excitement, even the most excellent sound equipment couldn't compare.

Therefore, she came, even after receiving Lin Mu's refusal text, she still came.

The nearby students looked at her and Lin Mu with curiosity. During this period, Chen Jing, as the lead actress filming a movie on campus, had become the envy of the students.

In Lin Mu's class, almost everyone was secretly watching, and a few bold boys even lingered nearby, eavesdropping.

Wei Yun's fingers, gripping the book, turned white. Looking at Lin Mu from a distance, his heart was filled with indescribable complexity.

That was a movie's lead actress, and she was so beautiful, a girl from Beijing.

She was afraid that Lin Mu and she would become close, as that would mean her failure;

But if even a girl like Chen Jing couldn't interest him, how could he possibly think of her?

"Sorry, I have my considerations. I can't give you this song now. In the future, when the time is right, if possible, I can write another one for you."

Lin Mu sighed, gently removing her hand from his arm.

He was telling the truth. When his reputation was established and he could be more任性, he wouldn't mind writing a song for her.

Even if her current singing level wasn't high, helping this chance acquaintance wasn't out of the question.

But Chen Jing wouldn't believe it. Good songs weren't that easy to write.

Right in front of her was the best masterpiece. If she tried hard enough...

"I know I don't have many opportunities. 'Dream Chaser' is the biggest opportunity of my life! Lin Mu, sell me the song, for ten thousand yuan, and I'll be your girlfriend for a month! Please..."

Nowadays, being a girlfriend was no longer just a noun but a verb, the implications clear.

The pitiful look on the face of this gentle and beautiful campus flower was so alluring that the boys who were secretly watching her had their hearts racing, wishing to kick Lin Mu away and have this girl's attention on them.

But at this moment, Lin Mu's mood was like that of Tang僧 in "Tang僧 Flirting."

No matter how alluring and charming you are, but this poor monk...

This poor monk has something to do in the West!

"Let me put it this way. I have no reputation now and need this song to spread through a somewhat famous singer! Your singing skills are average and can't help me achieve this goal. You should understand the reason..."

After explaining, Lin Mu nodded, turned, and left.

Behind him, Chen Jing's heart was like dead ash. Unable to suppress her emotions, she squatted down and cried sadly.

Usually pampered like a princess by her family, this time she deliberately approached, ready to please, even willing to put aside her girl's pride and give her first time to this man.

But he, heart cold as iron, completely ignored her charm for his own purposes...

Lu Yifei walked over, patted her shoulder to comfort her, looked at Lin Mu's back, and led Chen Jing away.

From a distance, Shen Bingjiao's lips curled into a smile of joy, returned to the class, and continued reading during the break.

Back in the class, seeing the classmates' gazes as if he were a monster, Lin Mu helplessly lowered his head and continued reading.

"You guy, aren't you moved at all? She's the lead actress from the Beijing Art School..." Wei Yun turned and asked.

Rubbing his forehead, Lin Mu felt that he might be having a run of bad luck with women. More women meant more trouble.

"Focus on your studies. Otherwise, I'll go to Beijing next year and flirt with her. See if you can handle it!"

Hearing Lin Mu's angry words, Wei Yun huffed, muttered something inaudible, and continued solving problems.

...

"Ring ring ring..."

The bell signaling the end of the final exams rang, and Lin Mu sighed in relief. The semester was finally over.

He looked happy, not just because of the break but because of his feeling about the exam.

Previously, his foundation was poor, and his grades were almost at the bottom. But after half a year of study, he had made significant progress.

Everyone knows that poor grades aren't because one can't learn but because one can't focus on studying.

As long as one is willing to learn and can concentrate, the results come quickly.

Just like learning English from junior high to college for ten years, many people can master it in a year or even a few months in society.

In the past half year, Lin Mu not only read various miscellaneous books but also studied several subjects.

His Chinese was strong with a novel foundation, and his English was excellent with a solid oral base, currently on par with the best students in the class.

He could score around 250-260 points in total.

For other subjects like math, physics, chemistry, and biology, although still poor, he no longer scored in the teens or twenties, maintaining a mid-to-lower level.

But combined, he could score around 180-190 points.

In total, it was around 450-460 points...

If he improved a bit more in the next half year, he could aim for 500 points in the college entrance exam.

In previous years, the score for the first-tier universities in Central China was around 550-560 points, and his score would place him in the second or third tier.

But for an art school, it would be enough to meet the requirements.

At this point, Lin Mu could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although he was somewhat indifferent about going to college, if he really got in, his family would surely be very happy.

Everything was on track, and Lin Mu felt very pleased.

What made him even happier was not just one thing.

The news of Guo Yongkui's success also came.

"Dream Chaser" was bought by a second-tier female singer known for sad songs, and the price was not low.

Fifty thousand yuan, plus the ten thousand yuan red envelope promised by Guo Yongkui, was all transferred to Lin Mu's card.
