A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

The four people stood motionless around the thin sheet of white paper.

Lin Junjie's Adam's apple bobbed.

My gaze followed the direction of the musical staff and the dense alterations on the bar lines, and I subconsciously hummed along for a couple of lines.

Those previously obscure twists and turns are now completely clear and smooth.

He suddenly looked up and stared straight at Chen Ye.

"Yezi, what's wrong with your brain?" Lin Junjie's voice was trembling.

"I struggled to come up with the chorus for three days, and you revived it in just a few minutes?"

Chen Ye leaned back on the sofa and twirled the glass in his hand.

"Just some random changes, a little inspiration."

He waved his hand, his tone calm.

"This is just to help you understand the logic. You can figure it out yourself in a couple of days."

Lin Junjie clutched the paper, his face turning bright red.

"You're being too modest!"

"No, Noko, I feel completely out of sorts right now. I have to try out this arrangement right away!"

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.

He pointed to the grand piano in the corner of the hall.

"Go over there." Chen Ye stood up, patted his trouser leg, "I'll accompany you, you can sing a version and hear how it sounds."

The hall immediately erupted in noise.

Deng Chao jumped up and threw the grilled kidney back onto the plate.

Chen He picked up two chopsticks and started tapping them against the beer bottle.

"This is what we've been waiting for! The VIP seats in the inner area!"

Lu Han quickly swallowed the cola in her mouth and raised her phone to record a video.

Behind the monitor, director Wang Zhengyu gripped the walkie-talkie tightly, a wide grin spreading from his lips to his ears.

A new song originally sung by Lin Junjie, which Chen Ye adapted live in three minutes.

If this scene were included in the full version, it would definitely dominate the trending topics.

Song Yuqi sat cross-legged on the carpet, her hands supporting her chin.

Her gaze remained fixed on Chen Ye, lingering there for a long time.

Lin Junjie walked quickly to the microphone stand and held the microphone with both hands.

Chen Ye walked to the piano, pulled out the piano stool, and sat down.

Hands rest on the black and white piano keys.

The complete set of accompaniment muscle memory instilled by the system is instantly activated.

"Are you ready?" Chen Ye tilted his head.

Lin Junjie quickly went through the newly revised lyrics and accompaniment in his mind and nodded vigorously.

Chen Ye's finger fell.

A cold, lonely piano prelude echoed through the hall.

The chord progressions were completed in just a few bars, and the commotion that had been building up just moments before ceased.

Deng Chao put down the sizzling, oily meat skewers in his hand.

Chen He put away his playful expression.

Huang Bo subconsciously sat up straight.

The intro is paused at a very precise moment.

Lin Junjie half-closed his eyes and stood close to the microphone.

"After silently counting down three, four, five, six, and the sixth day."

"Humans began to experience cosmic night and day."

There was no audio editing equipment, only pure vocals and piano.

The extremely suppressed emotions were amplified through the microphone, striking the eardrums of everyone present.

Deng Chao swayed his head gently to the rhythm, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Huang Bo and Chen He exchanged a glance and each let out a breath.

"Through the swirling snow, I'll tremble with you."

"Let's not look back."

The music enters a transitional section.

Chen Ye increased the pressure on the piano keys, and his fingertips moved up and down faster.

Lin Junjie was completely immersed in the role, and the tearing sensation in his voice intensified layer by layer.

"Whether fate is determined by time, duration, or permanence, it cannot surpass immortality."

"For lovers, waving goodbye, holding hands, letting go, and waving goodbye again should be enough."

Apart from the singing, there were no other noises in the hall.

The slight awkwardness that was originally there has been completely wiped away.

Wang Zhengyu stared at the monitor screen, rubbing his hands together repeatedly.

Song Yuqi remained seated on the carpet.

Chen Ye was dressed in slightly loose casual clothes, his face turned slightly to the side, his gaze focused.

A slight soreness rose in her nose.

The melody and lyrics made her unable to stop recalling their hastily ended past.

"May we endure another autumn, another warm winter, just for the time of our reunion."

The last tremolo slowly dissipated in the air.

Lin Junjie moved away from the microphone, opened his eyes, and let out a long breath.

Chen Ye removed his hands from the piano keys and rubbed his wrists as he did so.

The hall was silent for a few seconds.

Deng Chao burst into cheers, clapping his hands loudly.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Bo, Chen He, and Lu Han all stood up and clapped enthusiastically.

"It sounds amazing! Absolutely fantastic!" Huang Bo gave two thumbs up.

Song Yuqi rubbed her reddened eyes and clapped her hands.

The other three Heavenly Kings sitting at the table remained motionless for a long time.

Jay Chou held an unlit cigar, his brows furrowed.

Tao Zhe and Wang Leehom stared directly at Chen Ye.

"Wild Child." Zhou Jielun placed his cigar on the table.

"You're being a bit too biased. This isn't just changing a song; it's giving him a completely new, explosive remake."

"Exactly," Wang Lihong chimed in, his tone tinged with envy.

"To be able to produce a piece of this caliber in just a few minutes, were you holding back a bit earlier?"

Tao Zhe stood up and took two steps closer.

"Now that you've brought this up, we should have a word with you."

"If we ever run into a stutter when we release a new song, you can't just pretend you didn't see it."

Chen Ye just stood up from the piano bench and stopped walking.

Do you really think good songs are like cabbages, buy one get three free?

"Gentlemen, can't you be a little more reasonable?"

Chen Ye walked back to the sofa, sat down, and grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds.

"Junjie is releasing a new album next month, and this song is stuck here, which is a real problem. I'm just here to put out the fire."

He peeled open a melon seed.

"The three of you don't even have a hint of a new album yet."

"If I ever run out of inspiration for a new album, just give them a call, and they'll definitely take care of everything."

The three of them exchanged glances, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"I'm satisfied with just that." Zhou Jielun nodded in satisfaction.

"Everyone heard that, so don't try to renege on your debts next time."

Lin Junjie put the guitar back in its case and walked back to his seat with a full glass of ice-cold draft beer.

He walked directly up to Chen Ye, his expression solemn.

"Yezi." He raised his glass.

"This song is so important for my upcoming tour, it's all in the alcohol."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the draft beer in one gulp.

Chen Ye smiled and shook his head.

He picked up his glass of liquor, clinked it together in mid-air, and drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone sat down again and continued to devour the skewers on the table.

Deng Chao pulled Zhou Jielun aside and talked about his past experiences making movies.

Chen He pestered Tao Zhe to perform swallowing a mutton roll in one bite.

Chen Ye stretched out his body and leaned back on the sofa.

Song Yuqi would occasionally hand him a peeled orange.

Just as everyone was enjoying their meal and drinks.

Wang Mian, who had been huddled in the corner, suddenly stood up from the plastic stool.

Holy crap!

The scream completely drowned out the karaoke music playing in the lobby.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.

Deng Chao frowned as he spoke.

"Why are you so startled?"

Wang Mian held up his phone with both hands, his face pale.

His finger was still trembling as he pointed at the screen.

"Brothers..."

Wang Mian swallowed.

"Look at Weibo..."
