I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Language has never been able to fully explain the past.

Because the past is gone forever, and whatever is reproduced in words or language will always be a far cry from the truth.

The things that are truly important will always reside deep within our hearts.

"Taylor?" Lu Yu asked softly, noticing her listless eyes.

Taylor Swift's eyes were fixed ahead, her mind already elsewhere.

Her consciousness has now drifted far away.

She drifted back to five years ago when she was just a 20-year-old girl.

Every detail of that time, every string and every note, echoed in my ears.

……

……

(Music plays) Host: "Now, next up is a message from Ms. Taylor Swift, a girl from Pennsylvania..."

(Audience gasps, exclamations, cheers, and applause)

JX (slightly flustered): "Wait a minute, you said Taylor Swift... is it the Swift I'm thinking of?"

(Laughter)

Host: "It's the Svetlana you're thinking of."

JX: "Is it Swift, the singer?"

Host: "That's Taylor Swift, the pop star who achieved five times platinum record sales in her debut year, won the Grammy Album of the Year, the Haldane Satellite Light Award, the Video of the Year Award, and was voted the most popular girlfriend in the United States!"

(Cheers and whistles from the audience)

(After a slight silence) JX: "Oh, do you mean one person or several people?"

Host: "There's only one Taylor Swift in the world!"

"So, what did the one and only Miss Taylor Swift say?"

“A message from Ms. Taylor Swift of Pennsylvania said that she was sure to win the Nashville Musician Award for Best Songwriter this year, but after you came to the United States with several bands to challenge her, she now feels a bit uncertain. Mr. JX, do you have any good suggestions?”

JX: "I suggest you just give up."

(The audience burst into laughter)

JX (trying to stifle the audience's laughter): "Because, because this year's competitors are just too strong, there's no way she can win."

Host: Are you really sure?

JX: "I'm quite certain, and I suggest she prepare for next year."

Host: "Okay, let's hear how Miss Swift answered."

JX: "Wait...are you going to call her...wait a minute..."

Host: "No, no, it's not a phone interview, we've brought her directly to the radio station. So, let's welcome—Taylor Swift!"

(Audience screams, thunderous applause, whistles)

Taylor Swift: "Hi JX, it's nice to meet you. I've heard your name for a long time."

JX: "Hello."

Host: "Mr. JX, is it just my imagination? Why do you seem to have suddenly become less talkative?"

JX (whispering): "She's even prettier than on TV!"

……

……

Taylor Swift's eyes flickered.

She is a very emotional person, and thinking about those events easily moves her to tears.

That was the first time she met JX in the radio program's broadcasting studio.

That was just two months after JX arrived in the United States. It was also the day after she achieved five times platinum record sales certification.

She was deeply impressed.

It was a regular radio interview program, and the half-hour program didn't cover much serious business. It relied entirely on the topicality of the two celebrities, JX and Taylor, to keep the show going.

However, her comment at the time was serious: back then, she really had a very good chance of winning the Nashville Songwriter of the Year award.

If she wins that award, she will achieve a grand slam of the three major awards. She will become the fastest female artist in history to achieve this feat.

Unfortunately, a man appeared that year who called himself JX.

Before that meeting, Taylor had thought many times about what kind of person JX really was.

Because she had already heard of JX's reputation before this.

Just two months after arriving in the United States, JX led several bands, including The Who, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones, in a concert that was a great success.

It was an unprecedented success, with almost every show sold out.

Their success has made the American music scene afraid.

As their concerts became popular, these bands' records also began to sell like hotcakes.

From appearing on the list individually, to appearing on the list comprehensively, and then to dominating the top of the list in a massacre-like manner.

American music, like a clay chicken or a rotten dog, crumbled before their invasion.

Country, pop, rap... these genres are usually dissing each other, but for the first time, everyone is united in their hatred of JX, a formidable foe.

However, this brief moment of unity in the American music scene was of little use. Even though they tried their best to mock them on social media, American audiences were still completely captivated by these European rock bands.

Musicians hate, and their hatred is tinged with fear.

Taylor wasn't afraid; she was always as curious as a cat, intrigued by all new and unusual things.

This foreigner, who was said to be from China, also fell into the category of curiosity.

When Taylor put the record player's headset on her head and JX-style songs flowed into her ears, an impulse and excitement surged through her back like an electric current, quickly activating all her brain cells.

She hadn't felt that electric sensation since she first heard Bob Allen's music when she was fourteen.

wonderful.

This was Taylor's first impression.

She began searching for all of JX's music, and the more she searched, the more astonished she became.

JX's style is versatile, and his songs are full of tension.

His creations are like dancing on the moon.

In the United States, a country that was almost stagnant, with all sorts of underground rap, gold chains, gangsters, dirty jokes, profanity, diss tracks, ganja, and other lyrics so rampant that they became boring, JX's songs were like a heavy artillery shell, blasting into everyone's hearts.

It seems like people are discovering for the first time that lyrics without ganja can still be so psychedelic;

It turns out that lyrics without a diss track can still be incredibly satirical;

It turns out that even without mentioning gangsters, songs can be so powerful and moving.

Taylor became obsessed with the feeling.

She quickly became a big fan of JX.

Although she kept it a secret and secretly vowed never to let anyone know about it.

She wants to take her fandom of JX to her grave.

Because JX is still his rival for the Songwriter of the Year award.

So when she learned that she could see JX on that radio show, she immediately agreed.

It wasn't until they met that she realized he was nothing like any of the possibilities she had imagined.

He was even more... dazzling than she had imagined.

……

……

A ringing bell interrupted her reverie.

The sun shines brightly, traffic flows busily, and the bluestone pavement gleams darkly in the sunlight.

The air was filled with the noise of people, and cars roared from across the street.

Lu Yu and the camera were both looking at him with concern.

"Are you okay?"

Taylor Swift shook her head.

She slowly pulled out her constantly vibrating phone.

She swiped the screen, and her eyes widened the moment she saw the caller ID displayed on the screen.

……

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if the question we just had, where the call for help went directly to the lead singer of Guns N' Roses, was answered by an off-stage caller? Is it possible that... Taylor Swift would answer the phone?" Jiang Xinhai asked.

"rational!"

Qin Yunchu nodded vigorously.

"It seems like there's an opportunity to request outside help for every question, right?" He Ling said. "In that case, why not take advantage of it?"

After obtaining everyone's consent, Qin Yunchu pressed the "Support from Outside the Venue" button.

After a series of beeps, the call was connected.

"Hello? JX?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was a man's.

The man sounded tired, as if he had just been woken up from sleep, but still somewhat excited.

Is that JX?

“Uh, no,” Qin Yunchu glanced at the name of the person on the screen and said, “Mr. Duncan Jones? Is that you?”

In fact, after dialing the number, they saw that the person on the other end of the line was named Duncan Jones.

It was neither Taylor Swift nor David Bowie (that certainly couldn't be).

But who exactly was this Duncan Jones...? Everyone looked at each other, not knowing the answer.

Gao Xiaobo frowned and repeated the name several times.

He felt the name was somewhat familiar, so he looked down and took out his phone.

When in doubt, consult Baidu.

“Well, we are JX’s friends,” Qin Yunchu said. “We’re calling to ask you something.”

"what's up?"

The other party was very friendly, and it seemed that as long as it was a call from JX's friend, they would answer seriously even if they were woken up from their sleep.

"This is what happened..."

Qin Yunchu explained the situation to the other party, and after she finished speaking, Gao Xiaobai hurriedly handed her the phone.

“Duncan Jones!” he whispered. “The director of the movie Source Code! And David Bowie’s son!”

Qin Yunchu narrowed her eyes.

She understood why the call had gone to him.

He's David Bowie's son; he must know what happened at the funeral!

"Here's the thing, I wanted to ask, JX hit someone at the funeral, could you tell me who that person was?" Qin Yun Chu asked quickly.

She learned her lesson last time because of the call duration limit, so this time she'll try to speak faster so they can chat for a while longer.

"If we're not being coy, he was hitting Kanye West," Duncan Jones replied calmly.

Everyone smiled slightly.

They finally guessed right this time.
