After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 179: First Semester of Freshman Year Ends, Heading to Ning Yuhan's Home
The exams for these two courses in the afternoon were very easy; basically, as long as you memorized the material, you could get a good score.

After receiving the exam paper, Xu Lin glanced at all the questions and already knew what to expect. He finished all the questions in less than half an hour. The college exam only required half an hour to leave, and both exams were like that.

Rong Xiyan was about twenty minutes slower than Xu Lin.

"Why are you walking so fast? Have you finished your questions?"

When Rong Xiyan came out, she asked with a puzzled look.

After all, he had answered the questions seriously, spending forty or fifty minutes on each subject, but Xu Lin got up and left as soon as half an hour was up.

"It's so simple, how long will it take to write?"

"Are you lying to me?"

Why would I lie to you? I can't possibly lie to you about writing a test paper, can I?

"Humph!"

Rong Xiyan brushed her long hair aside: "Never mind, Xu Lin, let's go play!"

"Where do you want to go? I'll make sure you do so tonight."

"let me see……"

Rong Xiyan thought for a long time. After leaving the examination room, she went to the electric vehicle parking lot and then to where Xu Lin drove the electric vehicle to the school gate.

"Have you made up your mind yet? You've been thinking about it for almost ten minutes, haven't you?"

Xu Lin stopped at the school gate, waiting for Rong Xiyan to speak.

"How about we go see a movie?"

"Okay, I'll go to the movies with you."

"But you can't fall asleep this time, you have to keep your eyes wide open!"

"Don't worry, I'll watch it all this time!"

Xu Lin found a large movie theater, one of the screening rooms was very crowded, and the main purpose was to create a lively atmosphere.

A new Doraemon movie has recently been released, and this is the movie that Rong Xiyan wants to watch.

At least it's not a romance movie. Speaking of which, Xu Lin also liked watching Doraemon when he was a kid, so he can accept watching this movie.

Xu Lin and the others bought food at the movie theater and then went to the screening room.

There are two or three hundred people in this screening room tonight, it's packed.

Xu Lin and his group sat in the middle area, not too far, not too close, not too far to the side, just right, with a good view.

While Xu Lin was eating popcorn, Rong Xiyan, who was sitting next to him, suddenly felt uncomfortable sitting like that, so she simply sat on Xu Lin's lap.

"Xu Lin, I'll sit here!"

"sit down."

Xu Lin habitually put his arm around Rong Xiyan's stomach, and Rong Xiyan felt reassured.

This Doraemon movie is about the theme of home.

During the movie, Xu Lin could clearly sense that Rong Xiyan was in a low mood.

"what happened?"

Xu Lin asked in a low voice.

"nothing."

"Thinking about your father again?"

"No."

"Still saying no? Do you think I can't tell whether you're in a good mood or not?"

"Xu Lin, does my dad not want me anymore?"

"Don't you still have me? Silly girl."

Xu Lin comforted him, "Let's think of something happy, like tonight, let's go back and do something fun."

"Xu Lin, you big pervert!"

"I admit I'm a pervert, but if you keep thinking these kinds of nonsense, you'll realize your mistake when you get home tonight!"

Xu Lin spoke out "fiercely".

"You're just bullying me..."

The movie ended an hour and a half later, and Rong Xiyan felt much better after leaving the theater.

It's only 8 p.m., still quite early.

Xu Lin took Rong Xiyan out for a meal.

After thinking about it, Xu Lin decided to take Rong Xiyan to the amusement park to experience some fun rides, such as the carousel and bumper cars.

Rong Xiyan finally emerged from her unpleasant mood.

"Xu Lin, thank you!"

After leaving the amusement park, Rong Xiyan hugged Xu Lin's hand tightly.

"Thank you for what?"

Thank you for making me happy!

Rong Xiyan tiptoed slightly and kissed Xu Lin on the cheek.

"Just be happy."

Xu Lin used his index finger to lift her delicate, fair chin and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Rong Xiyan smiled radiantly, her beauty dazzling.

The two returned home at 11 p.m.

"Xu Lin, are you still busy?"

Inside the e-sports room, Rong Xiyan sat on the bed, waiting for Xu Lin to do whatever he wanted to her.

"I still have some things to take care of, I'll wait a bit."

"Ok."

Xu Lin turned on his computer.

Xu Lin turned around and said, "I'll be busy with the reply section for the next two days, so you'll have to stay here, okay?"

"What are you busy with now?"

Rong Xiyan looked aggrieved and said, "You've only been with me for a little over a day."

"I have some work to do, I'll take care of it first, then I'll have more time to spend with you, right? Besides, it's almost vacation time, the whole winter break will be spent with you anyway, right?"

"It's a deal then, you have to spend every day with me during winter break!"

Xu Lin hummed in agreement.

He opened the Xiaohongshu computer page and logged into his homepage.

He now has 21 million followers on Xiaohongshu. It's hard to say how many are actually his followers, but he certainly has a lot of real followers, and this number is comparable to that of a celebrity.

In the evening, Ye Shengjun sent a message saying that his company had created a trending topic, claiming that they had reached a script cooperation agreement with Mr. Xu and expected to start assembling a production crew after the New Year.

In the internet age, TV dramas need pre-release promotion; it's part of the publicity process.

Xu Lin also edited a post on Xiaohongshu: My script for "Da Jing Dynasty" has been sold, and I have reached many cooperation agreements with Yongning Investment Co., Ltd. In addition, I will be the main screenwriter of the script. Please look forward to it.

As soon as the post was published, countless netizens flooded in.

Xu Lin's post was even more explosive than the trending topics bought by Ye Shengjun's company.

Xu Lin is quite popular now, so not long after he posted, a new hashtag was generated on Weibo and quickly became a trending topic.

"Xu Lin, are you done with your work?"

Before Xu Lin could respond to Rong Xiyan's voice, she slipped naked from under his arms and into his lap.

Xu Lin then realized that Rong Xiyan had already taken off all her clothes.

"Wait a minute, what's the rush?"

"Is work more important, or is my lovely older sister more important?"

"younger sister."

"elder sister!"

"Sister, time for a spanking!"

"Then hit me!"

"Don't be naughty."

"Humph!"

Rong Xiyan's eyes darted around, and it was unclear what mischief she was plotting. Then she slid off Xu Lin and under the table, reaching out to pull down Xu Lin's pants.

Xu Lin knew what she was going to do, so he lifted his buttocks slightly.

Soon, Xu Lin's pants were pulled down by this mischievous girl.

Xu Lin remained silent, focusing on having Rong Xiyan serve him.

It was midnight.

Xu Lin's post has been trending for about an hour and has now climbed to number thirteen on the hot search list.

The name "Mr. Xu" has a certain magic on Weibo because it has appeared many times. So when people see it and find it familiar, they click on it and find out that Xu Lin's script has been sold.

Most people don't pay attention to TV dramas, but a considerable number do, so these people start discussing who should play a certain role.

The script for "Xu Lin" features many main characters with significant screen time, and all of them are outstanding.

Anyone who truly understands scripts knows that this is an absolutely top-notch script.

"Let it ferment a bit longer, and we'll see tomorrow."

Silent all night.

Rong Xiyan was very uninhibited tonight, letting Xu Lin do whatever he wanted, so the two of them didn't go to sleep until after 4 a.m.

The next morning, Xu Lin and Rong Xiyan went out for breakfast. After dropping Rong Xiyan off, Xu Lin returned to the duplex.

After a night of buzz, more people learned that Xu Lin's script had been sold.

Because of its immense popularity and top-notch script.

So when Xu Lin opened Weibo, he saw many celebrities expressing their desire to play a role in the script.

Minor celebrities don't make public statements because it's pointless; they won't even get on the trending topics list.

Therefore, those who appear on the trending searches are all famous celebrities.

For example, someone like Dilraba is incredibly famous.

Actually, what Xu Lin wanted to say was that Dilraba's acting skills were not good. In this drama, unless she played a decorative role, she couldn't carry the role at all if it was an important one.

In the drama "Xu Lin", there are three important young female characters, which clearly correspond to the main wives of the three princes. After all, in ancient society, how could the royal family have only one wife? It would not conform to the logic of passing on the lineage. Even if you wanted to marry only one wife, your subordinates would not be happy.

But Xu Lin had nothing to do with the actors; it was all the investors who found the production teams.

He's just a screenwriter.

However, with celebrities endorsing the show, it's certainly something to look forward to. The stronger the cast and crew, the greater the chance of it becoming a hit.

Xu Lin then logged into his work account and opened Xie Ting's account.

Recently, Nicholas Tse asked Xu Lin when he would write a song, as he wanted Xu Lin to write one.

Xu Lin asked the other party what type of song they wanted.

A short while later, Tse Ting replied: "Master, how about a love song? The lyrics are roughly..."

Xu Lin glanced at the other party's reply and concluded that Xie Ting wanted a song that was extremely sycophantic.

Xu Lin: "Did you break up with your boyfriend recently?"

"Ah, Master, I've been dumped."

"Handsome and rich, and still heartbroken? Are you out of your mind?"

"It's a long story. I was talking in my sleep, and my girlfriend said I called out my ex-girlfriend's name. She woke me up in the middle of the night, and I was so upset, but I really like her..."

There was a long paragraph after that, which Xu Lin didn't want to read. It was like a short essay, recounting his little moments with his girlfriend.

Tse Ting also sent over photos of his girlfriend. She's very beautiful, with a fresh and refined temperament, and has a certain charm.

In conclusion, Nicholas Tse has gone mad.

Xu Lin: "So, you're just writing a heartfelt song to win them back?"

"Yes, Master."

"I'll send it to you tonight, I'll go compose the music first."

"Okay, thank you, Master!"

Xu Lin turned back to continue reading the short essay Xie Ting had posted.

Actually, according to the description, this girl has a decent personality, and it wasn't a one-sided effort from Xie Ting. If it were one-sided, then he would undoubtedly be a simp. Since both sides are involved, it's not a simp situation.

Therefore, Xu Lin plans to write a heartfelt song based on Xie Ting's essay.

Xu Lin: "Send more about your experiences with your girlfriend, especially meaningful ones, and don't send over trivial things."

Xie Ting: "Master, I'll send it right away!"

Over the next hour or so, Xie Ting wrote quite a few short essays.

Xu Lin saw that it was enough and told him to stop.

It's so cloying. He's starting to understand people who send long essays to chat; reading those essays is really unpleasant.

Xu Lin turned off his phone and began composing music.

A heartfelt song should be composed with gentleness and a touch of sadness, with a soft overall melody that is not uplifting.

As for sadness, it's not like someone has died, so a little sadness is fine, which is what is meant by "grief without being overly sentimental." Otherwise, it would be bad to overdo it.

Xu Lin spent a little over an hour composing a piece of music.

This is just the initial work.

Xu Lin then spent another two hours adjusting and played the guitar more than a dozen times to feel the rhythm and the emotional changes within it.

Xu Lin is quite picky; he only finishes composing after he feels there are no problems.

Therefore, Xu Lin spent more than three hours just composing the music, which was quite a workload.

During halftime, Xu Lin had lunch.

At 2 p.m., Xu Lin continued working.

Next came writing the lyrics.

Xu Lin didn't write twenty lyrics this time because Xie Ting's experience was limited, so there was a framework outline in it, which prevented Xu Lin from improvising freely. He simply wrote one lyric, then polished and refined it until he was satisfied.

This process took Xu Lin another two hours.

Finally, I got the lyrics done.

Xu Lin created another song on Cubase and sang it while playing the guitar.

This process took another two hours, during which Xu Lin would ponder for a long time until he was truly satisfied. In Xu Lin's view, the person singing this song could sing terribly, but his reputation as Mr. Xu had to be top-notch, not rubbish.

"Finally done!"

Around 6 p.m., night fell.

Xu Lin stretched and put the lyrics, sheet music, and the background music he had prepared into a compressed folder, then sent it to Xie Ting.

Xu Lin: "It's all set. What do you think?"

Tse Ting replied instantly: "So fast?"

Xie Ting: "Master, I'll take a look right now!"

Xu Lin did not reply.

A dozen minutes later, Tse Ting replied: "Damn, Master, this song is amazing! It's exactly what I've been through!"

Xu Lin: "If there are no problems, I'll get ready to log off."

Regarding contracts, Tse Ting had previously signed a long-term contract with Xu Lin, which stipulated that the copyright operation of any songs written by Xu Lin would follow the same rules, so Tse Ting did not need to sign any further contracts.

"Master, the bank is closed. I'll transfer one million to you tomorrow morning!"

"Ok."

Xu Lin didn't say anything. Actually, he could earn 100,000 for a song, but Xie Ting gave him more.

Rich guy is not short of money.

Among his current apprentices, Xie Ting is the richest. The others are at most middle-class in terms of family background, and not even from a big city.

For the next day and a half.

Xu Lin stayed in the duplex apartment, busy with his work.

Xu Lin's main task on the second day was to teach the five students in his disciple class how to sing.

As for getting them to actually sing, that's not feasible yet; their basic skills aren't up to par.

Meanwhile, Tse Ting spent the entire day from last night to today practicing the song Xu Lin wrote for him in his home recording studio.

Xu Lin didn't name the song, but Xie Ting gave it a title: "Thinking of You, the Only One".

His girlfriend's name is Wei Yi, which is a homonym.

In addition, Xie Ting's one million was transferred over in the morning.

During the day, Xie Ting practiced the song while sending it to Xu Lin to ask for his opinion, which was equivalent to Xu Lin correcting him. Xie Ting was very serious about music and spent almost the entire day in the recording studio. Except for going to the bathroom, he spent all his time in the recording studio, even eating. Putting everything else aside, his attitude was truly admirable and earned Xu Lin's thumbs up.

And so, the day passed.

It's around eight o'clock in the evening.

More news about Nicholas Tse has surfaced.

"Master, I plan to release this song online at 10 PM tonight!"

"Wishing you a successful fire," Xu Lin replied with two words.

Nicholas Tse: "Hehe! Sunglasses.jpg"

Nicholas Tse was in high spirits and full of confidence, but of course he was still a little nervous.

At 10 p.m., Nicholas Tse promptly uploaded his song to QQ Music.

He previously covered two of Xu Lin's songs, and now, a month later, Xie Ting has gained over a million followers on music platforms alone, and two million followers on Douyin.

His track is a more orthodox track, unlike Zhao Liangchen's rap track, which attracts a lot of young men and women with a strong sense of individuality. This group makes up a large proportion of his fanbase, and perhaps the fans of those who follow unorthodox paths have greater loyalty.

Since the other party already had a certain fan base, Xu Lin didn't help with promotion.

Nicholas Tse: "Master, I've released a song!"

Xu Lin: “OK.”

Xu Lin: "I have final exams in the next few days, let's talk later!"

Nicholas Tse: "Alright!"

Xu Lin disappeared from that point on.

Xu Lin's final exams will be held from the 12th to the 14th.

Final exams were nothing to Xu Lin.

When Xu Lin finished his last exam on the third day, he felt that he could no longer guarantee being number one in his major, but now he could.

These exams were too easy for him; he couldn't even last more than half an hour on any of them.

After finishing his exam on the afternoon of the 14th, Xu Lin said goodbye to Rong Xiyan and went to wait for Ning Yuhan downstairs in her dormitory.

As for Rong Xiyan, she has Xia Xiyao to play with.

Soon, Ning Yuhan came down with her suitcase. She was a sophomore and had finished her exams earlier than Xu Lin. Ning Yuhan had been staying at school for the past few days.

"How did you do on the exam?"

Ning Yuhan immediately asked, "Was the accounting class this afternoon difficult?"

"It'll be simple, and you'll get full marks."

Xu Lin was full of confidence.

"Great!"

"Didn't the senior also have a perfect GPA?"

"I'm not sure yet. Only two subjects have been released so far, and although both were perfect scores, I can't guarantee the results for the other subjects."

"Let's think about these things later. Is everything packed?"

"It's packed!"

Xu Lin took the suitcase from the other person. He was driving an electric scooter today, so he put the suitcase on the footrest.

"boarding!"

Xu Lin: "We'll have a meal, then go home to pack our things, and we'll leave tomorrow morning."

Ning Yuhan got into the car and put her arm around Xu Lin's waist from behind.

The two returned home around 9 p.m.

Ning Yuhan packed her things. Actually, there wasn't much. Unlike Rong Xiyan, Ning Yuhan didn't have any cosmetics. She didn't wear makeup at all, so she omitted those miscellaneous cosmetics and makeup tools.

"Honey, how many clothes do you want?"

"I'll just take one set of clothes."

"Then I'll put a set of clothes in there."

"Ok."

While Ning Yuhan was packing her things, Xu Lin turned on his computer in the room.

Three days have passed, and Xu Lin hasn't been following Xie Ting's news these past few days, so he doesn't know what's going on with his song.

He opened QQ Music, clicked on the charts, and saw that several charts had Xie Ting's song at number one.

"It looks like it's working well!" Xu Lin was quite satisfied.

His current goal is to make himself a golden brand, so that any song produced by Mr. Xu will be a masterpiece.

If Xu Lin had this title, he would have a continuous stream of wealth, including his status in the martial arts world.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Lin logged into his work account.

I sent Xie Ting the group chat for his disciples.

Xie Ting replied instantly: "Master, you're finally online!"

Xie Ting: "Master, what is this?"

Xu Lin: "I previously set up a disciple class with five members. You can join them and chat with them occasionally, and you can also answer their questions occasionally."

Nicholas Tse: "Received!"

Nicholas Tse: "Master, this song of mine is really popular right now!"

Xu Lin: "Calm down, it's just one song. Without ten or eight representative works, you can't even hold a concert."

"Yes, that's true!"

Think about those celebrities who hold concerts, who doesn't have a lot of songs? They can sing for two or three hours straight.

At the same time, Nicholas Tse also joined the group.

Xu Lin announced in the group chat: "This is your senior brother!"

The group has five members named Yun Hehe, Li Xiaoxiao, Ying Xiao, Jin Zheng, and Jiang Chengzi.

Xu Lin spoke up and followed Xie Ting in, and everyone called him "Senior Brother".

Xu Lin didn't pay attention to what the others were talking about afterwards.

"Senior, are you all packed yet?"

"All right!"

"Come up here for a moment!"

"what?"

Ning Yuhan was puzzled, thinking that Xu Lin wanted to talk to her about something.

As soon as she entered, Xu Lin pulled her into his arms, and Ning Yuhan realized what was happening.

"I'll take you home tomorrow. It probably won't be convenient after that. The next time you sleep will be next semester, so you need to catch up on your sleep tonight!"

"Always thinking about these kinds of things?"

Ning Yuhan said irritably, but she still took off her clothes on her own initiative. Thinking about it, it made sense; the next time they would be together would be next semester.

It started around 10 o'clock, but by 2 a.m., Ning Yuhan had been tormented by Xu Lin.

After taking another shower, she fell into a deep sleep.

I have to get up early tomorrow, so I can't stay up too long tonight.

The next day was still bright and sunny.

The two had a simple breakfast in the morning, and at 8:30, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan returned to the car.

"seat belt!"

"done!"

Ning Yuhan spoke.

"Sit tight, I'm about to start driving."

"Uh-huh!"

Driving from Jiangdu to Ning Yuhan's small county in eastern Guangdong Province is quite a journey, over 1,500 kilometers.

It takes about sixteen or seventeen hours to drive there.

Actually, flying is the most suitable way to travel this route.

However, since Xu Lin had already said he would drive there, then naturally he would drive.

The car set off at around 8:30 and didn't arrive in Guangfu until a little after 9 p.m.

Most people couldn't handle driving for that long.

Xu Lin is alright.

"Let's check into a hotel here tonight and head to your hometown tomorrow."

"Honey, are you tired?"

"We've been together for so long, do you think my body will get tired?"

"You're being indecent!" Ning Yuhan glared at him, knowing he was bringing up those lewd topics again.

Xu Lin checked into a large hotel.

They decided to have their meal at the hotel. Xu Lin had said he wasn't tired, but after driving all day, he was physically exhausted but mentally drained and didn't want to go out.

After finishing their meal, the two returned to their hotel suite.

Ning Yuhan felt sorry for Xu Lin, who had been driving all day, and even took the initiative to help him take a bath tonight. Xu Lin was happy to receive this emperor-like treatment.

Finally, the two of them fell asleep.

The next morning came.

After breakfast, Xu Lin continued driving.

He checked the time; it would take more than two hours to drive from Guangfu to his home in Ningyuhan County.

It's not close at all, really.

Is anyone home at your house in the county town?

“My parents and younger siblings are all here. My dad has to work, but my mom is on vacation.”

Ning Yuhan's mother is a primary school teacher and is on vacation at this time, while her father is a repairman who is still quite busy.

"Are your younger siblings on holiday yet?"

Ning Yuhan's younger siblings are still in kindergarten.

"Release them!"

Come to think of it, kindergartens would be closed for summer vacation by now, and so would primary schools.

The academic pressure is greater in junior high and high school.

"Oh right, let's go buy some gifts first."

"Ah, no need to buy a gift, that's too expensive."

"How can you come empty-handed?" Xu Lin insisted on bringing gifts.

"OK then."

Then Xu Lin found a large shopping mall.

The gifts for Ning Yuhan's parents were simple: clothes and shoes.

The gifts for Ning Yuhan's younger siblings were a bit more complicated, with different gifts for boys and girls.

Where is the boy?
Xu Lin bought toy cars, Gundam figures, Ultraman figures, Saiyan figures, and so on.

What about the girl?
Xu Lin bought rag dolls, porcelain dolls, and so on.

The other two children each bought ten sets of clothes, including winter clothes and clothes for warmer weather. It's just that there were no summer clothes available at this time, otherwise Xu Lin would have bought them some too.

Besides these, there are snacks.

Kids can't resist snacks.

"Did you buy too much stuff? And it's so expensive." Ning Yuhan couldn't dissuade Xu Lin.

In fact, the total cost of the items Xu Lin bought was over 20,000 yuan. For example, a set of Gundam toys cost several hundred yuan, and Xu Lin bought ten sets.

"It's okay, it's not worth much."

Xu Lin smiled and said, "Let's go, let's try to get to the county town before 2 p.m.
