Get the perfect music system at the start

Xu Fan's inner guilt stemmed from his failure to protect Xia Ziling, which caused Xia Ziling's parents to lose their child. That's why he felt guilty when Xia Ziling's mother invited him.

Without hesitation, Xu Fan, who was originally going to drive home, turned around and headed towards the address given by the blind man's mother.

This is a coffee shop, and the atmosphere inside is extremely quiet. Everything seems to be approaching its extreme, and there aren't too many people in the coffee shop.

When Xu Fan entered, he noticed that Xia Ziling's mother was already sitting and waiting for him in the distance. Without any hesitation, Xu Fan walked over and, upon seeing Xia Ziling's mother, quickly said, "Auntie, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Xia Ziling's mother shook her head and looked at Xu Fan, saying, "Would you like something to drink?"

Xu Fan glanced at the waiter who had already come to greet him and said softly, "A latte, please."

The waiter turned away, and Xu Fan's gaze fell on Xia Ziling's mother. Xia Ziling's mother looked at Xu Fan, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "You seem to have lost some weight since I last saw you."

In fact, this was exactly what Xu Fan wanted to say, but Xia Ziling's mother said it first. He shook his head and said it was well said, but deep down he knew that the one who was being hurt was Xia Ziling's mother.

The last time they met, Xia Ziling's mother was slightly feverish, but this time she appeared extremely thin.

This shows that Xu Fan's guilt has deepened again due to his mother's recent grief, but he still asked Xia Ziling's mother, "Auntie, is there something you need from me this time?"

After taking a deep breath, Xia Ziling's mother looked at Xu Fan, shook her head, and then nodded, saying, "It's nothing serious, I just suddenly felt a little lonely. I thought of Lingling and wanted to come and chat with you."

Xu Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but hearing such an answer calmed him down a bit. Of course, he was happy about the answer.

He looked at Xia Ziling's mother and said directly, "Of course, no problem. Auntie, you can talk to me about anything that's on your mind. But you just said you were alone. Where did your uncle go?"

The person Xu Fan was asking about was, of course, Xia Ziling's father, the man who had once kicked him out of his home. In his memories from the teacher's college, Xia Ziling's father had always been very good to him. However, this time, due to his carelessness, Xia Ziling was left in Gran Country. Although Xu Fan brought Xia Ziling's ashes back, the dead cannot be brought back to life, that was a fact.

The next time your mother suddenly invited Xu Fan, he felt even more upset. But seeing Xia Ziling's mother's current state, Xu Fan actually had a lot to say, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The two chatted about simple everyday things, occasionally talking about the past and some recent events, but she didn't tell him that she was Xia Ziling's mother, nor did she tell Xu Fan where her husband had gone.

Xu Fan didn't delve too deeply into the issue. He simply tried his best to comfort Xia Ziling's mother. She couldn't understand the pain of losing her daughter, but she knew it must be incredibly painful.

They sat in the coffee shop for almost half an hour, chatting about many different topics. Then, your mother suddenly changed her tone and looked at Xu Fan, asking, "I don't know if I should say this, but I think I should tell you that I found a notebook in Zi Ling's room."

Xu Fan looked at Xia Ziling's mother with a hint of curiosity and asked in confusion, "Isn't it the one I gave you last time?"

Next time, your mother shook her head and looked. Xu Fan continued, "No, it was in the bottom of a drawer in Xia Ziling's room. She probably rarely touches it, but I saw that the contents might be useful to you, so I brought it over today."

As they were talking, the mother in the alley took out a notebook from her bag. The notebook was a bit old and made of kraft paper, and it was clear that it had a history.

Xu Fan didn't know why Xia Ziling would choose such a notebook; perhaps it was its ordinariness that made it meaningful. When Xia Ziling's mother handed the notebook to Xu Fan, he took it without hesitation, immediately flipping to the first page.

A strange look appeared on the first page of the notebook, where only the three large characters "Xia Ziling" were written. This was Xia Ziling's name, something she liked to write on the side of the notebook many years ago.

He also liked to write his name on the first page of his notebook, hoping that he had done the same. However, when he saw Xia Ziling's notebook, he was still moved and continued to turn the pages.

Xia Ziling's mother reached out, closed the notebook, and said, "Go back and read it, child. The truth is often not as simple as it seems. That's all I have to say for today. You may find everything in this notebook. I hope your future will be bright."

Xu Fan suddenly sensed something was wrong, as if some things had already been said and the person wanted to leave. He looked at Xia Ziling's mother, whose anxiety was suddenly very obvious, and he asked cautiously, "Auntie, are you alright?"

Next time your mother shakes her head and says, "I'm leaving now," the waiter will give you the bill.

After saying those four words, Xia Zilin's mother turned and left the coffee shop without waiting for Xu Fan to go for his walk. She still didn't stop Xia Ziling's mother.

As Xia Ziling's mother left, Xu Fan stood at the entrance of the coffee shop, feeling inexplicably uneasy. He gripped his notebook tightly, watching Xia's mother leave, his heart trembling as if something was about to happen, but he felt powerless to do anything about it.

After much deliberation, Xu Fan decided that he could look at the contents of the notebook later, but he had to pay attention to the matter concerning Xia Ziling's mother.

He remembered very clearly that Xia Ziling's parents had committed suicide because of Xia Ziling's departure, and today Xia Ziling's mother only talked about other husbands, but there was no light in his eyes now.

He was really worried, so he was determined to follow and see.

===Chapter 741 The Meeting===

Xu Fan had never felt so dejected or so distressed. As someone with a system, he had actually lost track of Xia Ziling's mother.

This made him feel extremely guilty. He tried calling Xia Ziling's cell phone, but it was switched off. He also tried calling Xia Ziling's mother, but that phone number, the one you once saved in your phone, is still switched off.

At that moment, he felt a strange sense of worry. He called Zhao Fei and asked Zhang Feiyang to help find Blind Lin's mother. At the same time, he also called Han Zilu and asked the employees of Fanxing Film Studio to find Xia Ziling's mother.

If Xia Ziling's mother did something rash because of this, Xu Fan would never be able to forgive himself. So at this moment, he tried to find the lamp, but found no trace of it.

Xu Fan was extremely anxious. He desperately wanted to find Xia Ziling's mother, but he was helpless. He made countless phone calls, hoping to find Xia Ziling's mother by any means, but he was still powerless.

Finally, when Zhao Feiyang, Han Zilu, and even other friends realized they couldn't find her, Xu Fan chose to call the police. Nearly two hours had passed between losing sight of Xia Ziling's mother and calling the police.

He didn't know what might happen to Xia Ziling's mother in the next two hours, but he could only hope that everything would be alright. However, he couldn't be sure of anything, and he wondered what the final answer would be.

The top student sometimes wondered if she was just overthinking things, but the fact remained that Xia Ziling's mother was indeed missing. And just then, she suddenly remembered the notebook that Xia Ziling had given her.

According to Xia Ziling's mother, this notebook was written by Xia Ziling, and every line in it was written by Xia Ziling.

Perhaps the contents could help him. Xu Fan opened the notebook and, besides his name, saw many diary entries. He saw what Xia Ziwei was going to do on a certain day.

He also saw Xia Ziling's speculations about some things. She speculated that this world was fake, just like Xu Fan's own deep-seated speculation. She speculated that there were different lives in this world, just like she had different people. Xu Fan suddenly realized that all of Xia Ziling's speculations seemed to be somewhat correct.

Are all of its guesses correct?

Although we don't know and can't be sure, for example, one of Xia Ziling's guesses is that everyone in this world is actually virtual, or that everyone in this world is an actor.

Only certain specific groups of people are truly human, living here, while the actors are cooperating with the real protagonist in his life.

When Xu Fan saw this, his heart skipped a beat for no reason. He even subconsciously wondered if he was the protagonist surrounded by all the actors, and this question suddenly took hold deep in his mind.

He felt terrified and fearful. At that moment, he suddenly felt helpless. He tried to change everything but found himself powerless. He knew then that the answer might be found in the near future.

Xu Fan then discovered that Xia Ziling had written "one year" in her notebook. Xu Fan didn't know what "one year" meant, but suddenly a question came to his mind.

It has been almost ten months since I obtained the system. In three months, it will be a full twelve months, or a year. Now it has been nine months. If it reaches twelve months, will some problems occur?

Xu Fan knew nothing about these things, but he felt he should write them down so that he could remember them if they happened. After memorizing the time, he tried to continue searching for something in his notebook, but he couldn't find any details. He had no choice but to change his mind and continue searching for his mother.

He could only hope that the mother who frightened you was simply resting somewhere, which was why she didn't answer his call or receive inquiries from other friends. That's all he could do about these questions after finishing his studies.

Because he had many things to do next, such as the concert, but of course he could only postpone the concert for a while. In a hurry, Xu Fan searched for him everywhere in the city streets, following the route he imagined, but he still couldn't find the direction of his mother.

As the sun gradually set in the west and night fell, Xu Fan finally received news: Zhao Feiyang had called to say that they had found Xia Ziling's mother. Upon hearing this news, Xu Fan was overjoyed.

All his emotions seemed to dissipate, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He happily apologized to Zhang Feiyang on the phone. He didn't know how to start, but he really had to apologize as sincerely as Zhang Feiyang did this time.

Because if something were to happen to your mother next time because of me, I would never forgive myself. But if your mother can be found next time, it will definitely be beneficial to me.

However, the answer Xu Fan received was still somewhat strange and shocking. Zhang Fei wanted to tell Xu Fan that although Xia Ziling's mother had been found, he did not want to see Xu Fan like this. Xu Fan was slightly doubtful, but in any case, at least Xia Ziling's mother had been found. As long as she was found, that was better than anything else.

Whether Xia Ziling's mother was willing to hold his hand or not was not important to him, because as long as Xia Ziling's mother was alive and well, that was enough for him.

Since Xia Ziling's mother was fine, Xu Fan didn't think too much about it. Finding more people was better than anything else, and things would be much easier to handle from there.

Xu Fan is about to attend his next concert in Chengdu, which is scheduled for three days from now.

There are actually still three days left, but Xu Fan needs to familiarize himself with the songs he will sing at the concert as soon as possible. At the same time, he also needs to stay informed about the latest news.

Of course, Xu Fan had another idea: since he was going to Chengdu this time, he had to do everything he could to meet Li Xiaoran. He remembered that Li Xiaoran had gone to take the postgraduate entrance exam.

After that, the two of them had very little contact. So when he was going to Chengdu again, he was determined to find a way to meet her. He told Zhao Feiyang this news.

Zhao Feiyang agreed to contact Li Xiaoran, but Xu Fan shook his head and said to Zhao Feiyang, "I have Xiaoran's contact information. I'll contact her myself. I'm telling you this so that when you're arranging your schedule, you can make sure to arrange some time for me in advance. I need to meet with Xiaoran."

Zhao Feiyang is, after all, Xu Fan's manager. In a sense, Zhao Feiyang needs to prepare the entire concert process in advance, so these are the issues.

Xu Fan still sought Zhao Feiyang's opinion, and Zhao Feiyang agreed, promising to complete the task before hanging up the phone. Xu Fan lay on the bed, his mood improving slightly.

All the intersections have turned into a blank space in the white clouds. Next time your mother finds you, you can also meet Li Xiaoran, and then you can hold the concert you want to hold.

The only thing he needed to worry about was whether he would encounter any danger in such a union, but he still hoped that everything would go smoothly.

Xu Fan was diligently rehearsing the songs for his concert in his music room. He had prepared accompaniment for each song in advance, and the music also had highs and lows.

So even though he was alone when he rehearsed in advance, he still gained a lot of insights into the songs. I hope you understand that every song written by every singer in that world is meaningful, and some of the lyrics express certain meanings.

It was truly impressive. Xu Fan really liked one of the songs, but he still felt that he needed to grasp its true meaning in order to sing the song with feeling. The fishmonger played the guitar seriously and occasionally the piano in order to understand it on a deeper level.

As time gradually changed, Xu Wan originally wanted to call Li Xiaoran, but ultimately gave up. The next day, the sun rose, Xu Fan made breakfast, and after eating, he checked the time and found it was around ten o'clock. So he dialed Li Xiaoran's number, but unfortunately, Li Xiaoran did not answer. Fortunately, Li Xiaoran sent him a message saying that she was in class.

Xu Fan smiled and had no objection to this. He wanted to bring Xiao Pu along on his trip to Rongcheng, so he called her as well.

It's also a chance to meet the dwarfs. Meeting Xiao Pu might not be bad. I hope to introduce Xiao Pu to all my trusted friends, and Li Xiaoran is obviously one of them.

Although his relationship with Li Xiaoran was not particularly deep, or rather, the two had very little contact, their two most important meetings were once in Longshen and once in Rongcheng.

The two places were different; one time she was teaching with all the children, and the other time she was teaching with all the children, but I liked seeing her both times. Li Xiaoran did both jobs very seriously and exceptionally well.

Therefore, Xu Fan felt a deep respect and reverence for this girl. He not only regarded Li Xiang'er as a friend, but also saw Li Xianglan as a kind of aspiration on his life's journey.

Because Li Xiaoran appears extremely pure and posed no danger, his mindset seems particularly calm, and you can feel his gentleness and apology in everything he does.

I hope you remember that I once sang "Southern Girl" to him. At that time, I didn't think too much about it. I just took the song from a parallel world and sang it to Li Xiaoran. Now that I think about it, that song was indeed extremely beautiful.

Of all the folk songs I've sung, I really like "Southern Girl." What I don't know is that Li Xiaoran listens to that song from time to time, and occasionally even plays it on her guitar.

It's because that song is simple to learn and very catchy, and it also has a special meaning. Everyone who listens to the song can feel the love in it.

Perhaps there is a humble helplessness, perhaps there are special joys and sorrows, but everyone's love story is different. Li Xiaoran sees it more simply and calmly, so he likes the song that Xu Fan sang for him even more.

After discussing the time and ticket purchase with Xiao Pu over the phone, he assigned the task to Zhao Feiyang, asking Zhao Feiyang to buy a ticket for the child when purchasing the plane ticket to Chengdu.

For Zhang Feiyang, playing PUBG was just a matter of adding an extra ticket when booking, and Zhao Feiyang naturally had no objection to Xu Fan bringing Xiao Pu along.

Although he was Xu Fan's nominal manager, Xu Fan actually handled most of the problems himself, with Zhao Feiyang merely playing an assisting role. However, Zhao Feiyang was undeniably extremely diligent on certain issues, making him very suitable for the role of a manager.

Xu Fan didn't have any special requirements; he just hoped everything would go smoothly. So, after confirming the time with Xiao Pu, Xu Fan started again in the conference room.

He was playing his own lamp and playing music. He didn't know how much time had passed when Xu Fan's phone suddenly rang. When he picked it up again, he saw that the contact name was Li Xiaoran.

Xu Fan felt a little nervous, but mostly excited about the upcoming meeting. After answering the phone, he asked curiously, "Long time no see, Xiao Ran. You sound like you've been quite busy lately. Are you in class?"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very quiet. He said gently, "Yes, that's right. I have a lot of classes lately, so I'm quite busy."

After saying that, Li Xiaoran followed up by asking, "How come Boss Xu had the time and opportunity to call me today?"

I like hearing Li Xiaoran joke, like, "It's been so long since we last met, I've been missing you a little. I'm going to Chengdu soon, so I was thinking maybe we could meet up and catch up."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoran felt a little excited. He thought he would never have the chance to meet Xu Fan again in this lifetime, so he never dared to contact Xu Fan again.

He was afraid that Xu Fan might develop some unusual emotions and ignore him, but after hearing what Xu Fan said to him...

Feeling inexplicably excited, he quickly replied, "Of course, no problem. Although our classes are demanding right now, it's actually quite easy to ask for leave. So, when are you coming?"

Xu Fan's answer to this question was quite simple: he would go as soon as possible in three days so that he could meet Li Xiaoran.

But I will definitely go see it very, very early. Xu Fan also said that he went to Chengdu this time because he was going to hold a concert. Li Xiaoran congratulated him on this.

The two chatted about everyday things, and only hung up the phone after they found something they were interested in. Xu Fan felt quite satisfied.
