Chapter 158 If I were a few years younger, I would go after her!
After leaving the coffee shop, Xu Wenshan felt like he was walking on air.
He took out his phone and then noticed that there were more than a dozen red dots on the WeChat icon.
They were all sent by Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng: "Old Xu? Where is he?"
Yu Zheng: "Did you see it?"
Upon seeing these messages, Xu Wenshan was in high spirits and immediately dialed Yu Zheng's number.
"Beep—beep—"
Kyoto, a luxury mansion.
When Yu Zheng saw that the caller ID showed "Director Lao Xu," a strange, wicked smile instantly appeared on his lips.
"Hehe, they've taken the bait."
He answered the phone, his voice full of mockery:
"Feed? Old Xu!"
"How did it go? Did you see that teacher Jiang Baizhi?"
"How did you feel? Were you amazed?"
On the other end of the phone, Xu Wenshan stood on a street in Shanghai, took a deep breath, and exclaimed sincerely:
"Old Yu, I really have to thank you this time!"
"I saw it! It's so beautiful!"
"That kind of aura... how should I put it, clean! Clear! Like a rough gem that hasn't yet been tainted by the entertainment industry!"
Xu Wenshan paused, his tone even carrying a hint of the shyness of an older man:
"To be honest, if I were ten or twenty years younger..."
"And I really did go after her!"
"She's absolutely my perfect goddess!"
"Pfft—hahahahahaha!"
On the other end of the phone, Yu Zheng burst out laughing.
The laughter was deafening, as if they had heard the funniest joke of their lives.
He laughed and slapped his thigh:
"Goddess? Hahaha! You want to pursue her?"
"Old Xu, Old Xu, even you have moments of worldly desires?"
"It's this worldly desire in you that's not quite right..."
"I'm dying of laughter... Oh, I can't take it anymore..."
Xu Wenshan was baffled by the laughter and became somewhat embarrassed and angry:
"What's so funny!"
"Everyone loves beauty, isn't it normal to have goddesses?"
"Can you honestly say you weren't attracted to her the first time you saw her?"
Yu Zheng forced back his laughter, wiping away the tears of laughter that welled up in his eyes:
"No, it's nothing."
"Normal, perfectly normal."
"When I first saw 'her,' I almost fell for her. I was not only moved, but I almost had a heart attack."
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business. Has the deal been finalized for that interlude, 'Baby'?"
When serious matters were mentioned, Xu Wenshan's tone instantly became excited:
"We've reached an agreement!"
"Not only did we resolve the side issue, Lao Yu, I have something important to tell you!"
"The theme song for my movie has been secured!"
"Huh?" Yu Zheng was taken aback. "Theme song? Didn't you say you couldn't find a suitable one? Did you move up the release date for 'Baby'?"
"no!"
Xu Wenshan's voice rose eight octaves:
"It's a new song!"
"Created on the spot by teacher Jiang Baizhi!"
"Just now, in the coffee shop, she watched that rough cut of mine, less than ten minutes... no, five minutes!"
"She hummed a song called 'Riding the Waves'!"
"Create on the spot? In five minutes?"
Yu Zheng's smile froze on his face, and he sat up straight.
"Are you kidding me?"
"What are you talking about!"
Xu Wenshan said excitedly:
"That song was absolutely amazing!"
"It sounds like a children's song, but the feeling it evokes... well, it's hard to explain over the phone!"
"Anyway, I started crying while listening to it!"
"It feels like going back to my childhood, running around in the mountains...it's just like it!"
"Old Yu, this girl is a genius! A true genius!"
............
Cafe.
After seeing off Director Xu Wenshan, who was so excited he almost stumbled, Jiang Bai didn't rush to leave.
He opened the system panel.
[Current popularity: 328,000!]
When he was redeeming the song, he discovered that his popularity score had actually reached over 300,000!
Jiang Bai rubbed his eyes.
"Am I seeing things?"
"How did it suddenly jump to over 300,000?"
"Even with the afterglow of The Voice of China's premiere still lingering, this increase is just outrageous!"
"It's like... another nuclear bomb has been detonated?"
Filled with doubt, Jiang Bai pushed open the glass door of the coffee shop, preparing to go back to school to change clothes in the restroom.
however.
I had just stepped out the door.
He sensed that something was wrong.
If we don't say that someone was just peeking earlier, then now it's practically—a stare-in-the-moment!
Pedestrians on the roadside, customers queuing at milk tea shops, and even students out for a stroll—everyone's eyes were glued to him as if they had a GPS tracking system installed.
Moreover, the whispers were no longer quiet murmurs, but excited exclamations:
"Look! Look at that girl in the skirt!"
"My God! Isn't this the sweet girl who sang 'Love You'? Even though she changed her clothes, her face is definitely the same!"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's her! She's also that four-chair-turn legend from The Voice of China!"
"She has even more charisma in person than in the videos! This forest-themed style is absolutely stunning!"
"I need to go to WeChat! Don't stop me!"
Several daring boys and girls were already itching to go, taking out their phones and preparing to rush forward.
Jiang Bai felt a chill run down his spine.
"Were we exposed?"
"How did these two accounts merge so quickly?"
He dared not linger; once he put on his sunglasses, he didn't care about anyone.
Faced with several passersby rushing towards him, he coldly waved his hand in refusal, then used the movement enhancement from his "Lucky White Shoes" to slip into the crowd like an eel, weaving and disappearing quickly into the crowd.
He left behind only a dashing silhouette and a faint fragrance in the air.
.......
Half an hour later.
Dormitory 404.
Jiang Bai, sporting messy short hair and wearing a T-shirt and shorts, pushed open the door with a weary expression.
"My sons, Daddy's coming home..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
"Aaaaaah! My brother-in-law is back!!"
Upon seeing Jiang Bai, Su Ze, Gu Dapeng, and Lin Le immediately walked over and stood in neat rows at the door to welcome him.
Upon seeing Jiang Bai enter, the three of them bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle in unison, their voices booming as if they were about to blow up a bunker.
"Welcome back to the palace, brother-in-law!!!"
Jiang Bai was so frightened that he took a step back and pressed himself against the door:
"Have you guys... taken the wrong medicine?"
"Still don't want to live anymore?"
Su Ze suddenly raised his head, a fawning and fanatical smile on his face, holding up his phone:
"Third brother! My dear brother!"
"Stop pretending to be calm!"
"Damn it! Our sister! Bai Zhi! She's famous! She's incredibly famous!"
"What?" Jiang Bai was taken aback.
Su Ze shoved the phone into Jiang Bai's face:
"Check Weibo! Check the trending topics!"
"That video from our school's official website, the live version of 'Love You,' I don't know who uploaded it to Weibo!"
"It exploded!"
Jiang Bai looked closely.
On Weibo's trending topics list, three out of the top five spots are related to him!
NO.1 #Shanghai Theatre Academy's Most Beautiful Campus Belle and Sweetheart Queen# (Breaking News)
NO.3 #Double Charm of Angelica dahurica# (Boiling Point)
