A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After washing up, Su Fan got into Lin Na's car.

The car drove directly to the performing arts troupe.

Ye Yun came out to greet them.

Seeing Su Fan get out of the car, Ye Yun said, "You actually brought him here."

Linna replied matter-of-factly, "What else? He promised."

Su Fan chuckled and added, "Yes, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

Linna glanced at him, a hint of surprise in her voice: "Weren't you reluctant at first? Why are you cooperating so much now?"

Su Fan said with a serious expression, "I also want to add some entertainment to your military life."

Linna patted him on the shoulder: "Great job, you've got a high level of awareness, that's good."

Ye Yun said, "Come in first, I'll show you around."

Su Fan feigned politeness and said, "Won't that interfere with your work?"

Lin Na said confidently, "As long as you can write good songs, I can take you on a tour of the entire military compound, let alone the performing arts troupe."

Su Fan began to wander around the cultural troupe, looking around and occasionally stopping to chat with people.

Of course, she was just pretending.

Actually, he already had a song in mind.

The song he was going to present was "Green Flowers in the Army".

This song was originally a military song sung by Zeng Dehong on Earth. The lyricist and composer are now lost, and Wu Songjin has arranged and adapted it.

The reason Su Fan brought up this song was because he felt he was being led by the nose.

Being filmed, tricked, and forced to write songs—this debt cannot be ignored.

So he decided to retaliate.

But then again, "Green Flowers in the Army" is indeed a good song, of absolutely top quality, and he is fulfilling his promise.

As for how the soldiers reacted after hearing that, that was none of his business.

This is a typical case of killing without burying.

While wandering around, he ran into a group of young performing arts soldiers rehearsing. They recognized him and asked curiously, "Teacher Su Fan, what are you doing here?"

Su Fan casually said, "I'm just here to mooch a meal."

A male soldier leaned over and asked, half-jokingly, "I heard you're going to write a song for us? Really?"

Su Fan nodded: "Really, but whether it's well-written or not is up to you to decide."

A female soldier next to her exclaimed, "The songs written by Teacher Su Fan must be amazing! Can we hear them first?"

Su Fan said, "I'll let you sing then."

"Really?"

"It really is real, more real than real gold!"

……

The news quickly spread throughout the performing arts troupe.

Everyone knows that Su Fan has arrived; he's going to write a military song for this year's recruitment campaign.

In no time, many people couldn't help but come over to watch.

We ate lunch in the cafeteria.

Su Fan, holding his plate, sat opposite Ye Yun and Lin Na. After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, he suddenly put down his chopsticks and made an expression as if he had just been struck by inspiration.

Looking at him like this, Linna tentatively asked, "You're feeling something?"

Su Fan nodded slowly, his tone deep: "I've got it."

Linna grabbed him and said, "What's the point of eating then! Let's go!"

Ye Yun specially prepared a quiet office for him.

Su Fan sat in front of the computer, opened the document, put his fingers on the keyboard, and began to type the lyrics and music for "Green Flowers in the Army".

After finishing the lyrics and music, he also put together the arrangement.

They also registered the copyright while they were at it.

At that moment, a group of people had unknowingly gathered outside the office.

Someone was peering through the window.

Someone was leaning against the wall in the corridor, listening intently.

Most of them had heard of Su Fan's name and his songs.

But I've never heard of a song with a military theme before.

Someone muttered quietly, "He's written folk songs and rock songs, but military songs aren't something just anyone can write."

Another voice chimed in, "Let's see how it goes. What if it actually comes out?"

Some people said, "Even if it's written out, it might not be suitable for us to sing. Military songs need to have that kind of feel to them."

……

Su Fan handed the printed manuscript to Lin Na.

Lin Na took it, flipped through a couple of pages, looked at the lyrics and the sheet music, but couldn't figure it out, so she handed it to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun took it, scanned it from beginning to end, and his brow twitched slightly: "Is this a folk song?"

Su Fan nodded: "Yes, folk songs."

Ye Yun's eyes lit up.

Military songs include many marches and some ballads, but none of them are folk songs.

Just as she was about to say something, several heads crowded around her, craning their necks to look at the manuscript.

Someone asked, "Judging from the lyrics and melody, it should be sung by a male voice. Mr. Su Fan, will you sing it yourself?"

Su Fan quickly waved his hand, his tone sincere: "I don't feel anything when I sing this song. Only someone who has actually served in the military can sing it with that kind of genuine emotion. I've never been in the military, so I won't waste this song."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the onlookers lit up.

Just because Su Fan can't sing doesn't mean they have a chance.

Putting aside Su Fan's fame, just looking at the lyrics and music, everyone present is an expert and knows exactly what's going on.

This isn't just a perfunctory song; it's a genuinely good piece of work.

Some people have already started planning how to win this singing opportunity.

Ye Yun stood to the side, looking at the lyrics and music in his hand, then at Su Fan, his lips moved but he didn't say anything.

Su Fan said, "You guys go ahead with your work, I have to go to the hospital, the baby is waiting for me."

Linna said, "I'll take you."

Su Fan waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, no need, I can just take a taxi myself."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Ye Yun watched Su Fan's figure disappear and frowned, "Why did that kid seem to be in such a hurry to leave?"

Linna didn't care: "Who cares? We've got the song, so it doesn't matter whether he's here or not."

Ye Yun shook his head and didn't take it seriously anymore.

Linna said, "Alright, the song is yours now. I'm going back to the team. Remember to send it to me when you're done recording."

Sitting in the taxi, Su Fan took out his phone and dialed Fang Cheng: "Brother Cheng, is Xuanxuan alright?"

Fang Cheng said, "It's alright now. Dr. Jing said I can be discharged anytime."

Su Fan spoke a few steps faster: "Hurry up and get us discharged, we'll leave right away."

Fang Cheng was taken aback: "So soon? Shouldn't we observe for another two days?"

"If Dr. Jing says it's nothing serious, then it's not a big problem. Let's go quickly."

Fang Cheng sensed the urgency in his tone and lowered his voice to ask, "What happened?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that if I don't leave now, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave at all."

"What exactly happened?"

"I'll tell you later, hurry up and get the paperwork done."

……

Su Fan wanted to leave Kyoto so quickly because he knew how powerful the song "Green Flower in the Army" was.

He didn't want the song to make it harder to recruit soldiers, or for some to run away with their buckets after listening to it.

He remembered that on Earth, this song was banned in the military.

It's not because it's bad.

It's because it's too good.

It's so good that it makes you homesick.
