He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

[Ding! The emotional layers are well-arranged, and the instrument selection accurately serves the song's theme. Music experience +355.]

"Amber of Time" was designed by Chen Hao with a slightly retro, light rock style, utilizing strong drum beats and bouncy bass lines.

The electric guitar riff (repeated section) in the interlude is energetic, and the overall sound is both nostalgic and stylish.

"Wings Against the Wind" is an inspirational pop-rock song with a more grand and majestic arrangement, incorporating magnificent synthesizer pads and powerful drum kits.

The string ensemble in the chorus brings the emotion to a climax, making it perfect for a stage performance.

He was immersed in the world of music, his fingers flying across the MIDI keyboard, adjusting the parameters of each timbre, arranging the entry and exit of each track, and polishing the details of the mix.

His masterful singing skills have given him a profound understanding of the human voice and melody, while his proficient music (composition and arrangement) skills provide strong technical support.

[Ding! Accurately grasps the characteristics of different song styles, demonstrates broad and innovative arrangement ideas, and adds 322 to your musical experience.]

[Ding! The mixing is excellent, the soundstage is balanced, and all frequency bands are clear. Music experience +298.]

He worked tirelessly, one song after another.

With the arrangement of the last song, "Dust Flower" (a lyrical song with a slightly ancient Chinese feel), completed,

He carefully checked all the audio tracks, made final adjustments, and then pressed play.

Ten well-produced song demos, each with a distinct style, played through my headphones.

Warm, melancholic, inspiring, retro, grand, poetic...

Each song has its own unique character, yet they all perfectly take into account Lin Caiwei's vocal qualities and singing habits.

He believes that if Lin Caiwei were to sing these fully arranged versions, the effect would be absolutely stunning.

Just as he was satisfied and ready to export the file, a remarkably clear, even slightly melodious, notification sound rang in his mind:

[Ding! Your music skill (composition and arrangement) experience points have exceeded 10,000.]

[Skill Level Upgrade: Music (Proficient) upgraded to Music (Master).]

A vast and profound torrent of musical knowledge instantly flooded into Chen Hao's consciousness.

It's not just about more complex knowledge of harmony, orchestration, form analysis, and audio engineering; it's about a deeper understanding and control over the essence of music.

The melody seemed to have color and shape in his ears, the direction of the harmony was as clear as the veins of fate, and he had a thorough understanding of the timbre and possible combinations of various instruments.

He can even "hear" musical fragments that have not yet been written, and can instinctively judge what kind of arrangement can best inspire the singer's hidden emotions, and what kind of timbre combination can produce the most shocking effect.

Master-level musical skills!

Chen Hao slowly took off his headphones, leaned back in his chair, and felt the brand-new musical world in his mind, his heart filled with indescribable joy and a sense of fulfillment.

Another skill has reached its peak! This means that his future music creations, whether for himself or for others, will be more effortless and reach a state of perfection.

He couldn't wait to tell Lin Caiwei the good news and the new song with its completed arrangement.

Looking at the time, it's about time to contact her.

He picked up his phone, about to find Lin Caiwei's name in his contacts and dial it, when the phone screen lit up first, showing "Lin Caiwei Video Call".

"What a coincidence?" Chen Hao smiled and answered the video call.

Lin Caiwei's face immediately appeared on the phone screen.

She appeared to be in a hotel room, sitting against the headboard with soft cushions behind her.

She was wearing a light pink silk robe with a slightly loose neckline, perhaps because she had just taken a shower or was about to rest; the top two buttons were not fastened.

As she slightly adjusted her posture, the neckline of her robe slipped open a little, revealing glimpses of her fair and delicate skin and a deep, alluring cleavage in front of the camera.

Chen Hao felt his breath catch in his throat, his heart skipped a few beats, and his gaze was as if it were drawn to a magnet, unable to look away.

Lin Caiwei on the other side of the screen was clearly unaware of her somewhat casual and even slightly revealing state. She looked tired, but her eyes were clear as she looked at him.

"Gathering ferns."

Chen Hao composed himself, trying to make his voice sound natural, and focused his gaze on her face as much as possible.

"Chen Hao".

Lin Caiwei responded with a sound of relief, as if she had just finished work, "Are you busy?"

"Just finished working," Chen Hao said with a smile.

"I was just about to call you, but you called me first."

"Oh? You wanted to see me about something?"

Lin Caiwei tilted her head slightly, a strand of half-dry hair hanging down beside her cheek, making her look somewhat lazy and cute.

"Yes, that's good news." Chen Hao nodded.

"I've already finished arranging all ten new songs that I promised to write for you."

They were all tailor-made to your voice and style, and I think the effect is pretty good.

I was planning to send it to you now for a preview, so I could revise it if you felt anything was off.

Lin Caiwei's eyes brightened noticeably, and her fatigue seemed to have dissipated considerably.

"Really? It's all done? So fast?"

"When you have inspiration, you can do it quickly," Chen Hao said casually.

Lin Caiwei felt a surge of joy, but after looking around, she shook her head.

"No need to send it to me now. The environment here isn't suitable, and I can't hear the details well enough to hear it on my phone."

"And..." she paused, "I have a concert in Hangzhou tonight, and after it's over, I'll fly straight back to Shanghai."

I have a day off tomorrow.

She looked at Chen Hao on the screen, her tone softening slightly:

"I'll listen to it when I get back. I want to... listen to it properly."

When Chen Hao heard her say that she would be back tonight and would rest in Shanghai for a day tomorrow, a strong sense of joy and anticipation welled up in his heart.

Since that absurd night and the unexpected "family reunion" that followed, the time he and Lin Caiwei actually spent together face-to-face was actually very short.

Most of the time, she was traveling all over the country, and their communication was mainly through video calls on their phones, with the topics almost always revolving around Sisi.

Although I see her in videos almost every day, the feeling of being separated by a screen is ultimately different from being with her in person.

The thought of meeting him in person tomorrow, and having the chance to chat like "normal" friends (or something more complicated), is wonderful.

Even listening to the songs he wrote for her together made Chen Hao's heart beat faster involuntarily.
