After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 60 Hehehe~

"Lying on your school's playground, watching the stars..."

"The lights are still on in the classroom, you haven't left..."

"I remember the love letters I wrote to you..."

"What era are we living in? I'm still writing now..."

……

The unfamiliar melody wouldn't attract passersby to stop, but the occasional glance was already the greatest respect. With a speaker, microphone, and guitar—simple equipment and a very conspicuous QR code for payment—two young people stood by the roadside singing.

The singer was a tall young man wearing a gray baseball cap and a black mask, giving off a cool and mysterious vibe, but for some reason, there was a warmth in his voice that seemed to waft through the air...

It's worth mentioning that the guy next to him was snapping photos of him nonstop with his phone, his face beaming with excitement. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought the singer was some big star.

This also caused the corner of the singer's mouth to twitch under the mask...

……

"Someday, some year, we'll find out..."

"Someone is quietly by your side."

"Perhaps I shouldn't be in your... world."

"When you receive a love letter, it means I've already gone far away."

……

"Oh..." Today, the person accompanying Yao Shuli was an assistant named Nan Nan. She used to study vocal music and knew the basics of music theory, so the song sung by this young man caught her eye. She couldn't help but say to Yao Shuli beside her, "Is this an original song? It sounds really good, very romantic, like a secret crush~"

Pure and innocent campus romance, hehehe~
“Indeed.” Yao Shuli chuckled and nodded, her gaze remaining fixed on the young man singing.

Just as Nan Nan was about to say something, the young man who had finished singing the whole song suddenly walked over without any apparent reason and headed straight for them.

When he approached Yao Shuli, he scratched his head and said in a teasing tone, "Beautiful lady, can I have your contact information?"

Assistant Nan Nan chuckled upon hearing this. Perhaps she couldn't deny that the handsome man's singing was excellent, but for a mere street singer to want to add Yao Shuli's personal contact information was a bit of a pipe dream, wasn't it?

As her assistant, Nan Nan felt it was only natural for her to shield Yao Shuli from these troubles, and instinctively she wanted to refuse them on Yao Shuli's behalf...

Unexpectedly, Yao Shuli chuckled softly for no apparent reason, then said to the person in front of her, "Don't you have one?"

Nan Nan: "???"

Wait, what's going on?!
These two know each other?!

Wait, my nose is so itchy... so itchy!
My nose is itchy, so itchy!

It feels like something is about to grow out!
Eh?
Why is it all red?

Who put a clown's nose on me?!
……

"That guy is absolutely unbeatable, I'm telling you..."

"I told him I'd take a picture with him afterward, but he always waited until I finished singing. He was going to go all out with the performance, but instead, he just kept snapping pictures with his phone. He even turned off the live stream to record a video. He's unbelievable!"

Around 7 p.m., on the way back to the hotel, the smell of hot pot mingled with the damp air, filling the air with a pungent aroma. Shen Ming'en complained helplessly about the guy whose equipment he had borrowed earlier, which made Yao Shuli laugh.

"Why are you here?" Under the cover of night, Yao Shuli, wearing a mask, only revealed the upper half of her face. What came into view was her fair and narrow forehead and a pair of bright, almond-shaped eyes. There was a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but for some reason, she looked at Shen Ming'en with unparalleled brightness. It was as if the person in front of her was the brightest star in her night sky.

"Ah, well..." Shen Ming'en scratched his head and said, "I just happened to be working here today, so I stopped by to see you. You fainted last time and I wasn't there, so I was quite worried."

While speaking, Shen Ming'en's eyes darted around and avoided eye contact. It was obvious he was lying. Nan Nan, their assistant behind them, couldn't help but curl her lip, thinking to herself, "You came here specifically to see this, why are you saying it was on the way? It's a good thing, but how did it turn out like this?"
Men, they're so stubborn, they suffer for it!
Upon hearing this, Yao Shuli felt her face flush slightly under her mask, and her eyes became a little shy. She could only change the subject and ask, "Then how did you know I was here?"

Her schedule is usually only known to people in her team.

"Ha, it's your assistant with the really big head..." Shen Ming'en told him about how he had discovered Luo Luo cricketing behind his back.

Upon hearing this, Yao Shuli smiled first, then said bluntly, "Luo Luo is just someone who doesn't hold back with her words. I apologize to you on her behalf. Don't take it to heart."

“Oh well, I’m too magnanimous to hold a grudge,” Shen Ming’en said. “Anyway, she told me your itinerary, so it’s a blessing in disguise. It’s not a bad deal.”

While comforting her, Shen Ming'en didn't forget to tease Luo Luo behind her back, saying, "But I have to remind you, you can't keep an assistant like this who will betray your schedule if you find even a little bit of dirt on her, otherwise she'll be a menace sooner or later."

Anyone could tell from his words that there was no public grudge, only personal resentment!

His despicable nature was on full display. If Luo Luo knew that he was still cricketing in front of Yao Shuli after telling her his schedule, she would definitely explode on the spot. Of course, these were not things that Shen Ming'en was considering.

Yao Shuli didn't mind and just found Shen Mingen amusing. During their conversation, the two arrived at the hotel where Yao Shuli was staying.

“I won’t go up,” Shen Ming’en said, pointing behind him, “to avoid any more rumors later.”

Looking in the direction he was pointing, you could see an Iveco Jinbei van. This van seemed to have been following them the whole time; it was probably driven by paparazzi, paparazzi, or people who took photos for them.

Upon hearing this, a hint of reluctance flashed in Yao Shuli's eyes. Before she could speak, her assistant Nan Nan couldn't help but say, "Even if you want to go up, we can't ask you to. There's a difference between men and women, Teacher Ming En."

“So I booked the hotel next door,” Shen Ming’en chuckled, pulling a room key from his pocket. The logo on it was the hotel’s sign next door. “I’m not leaving tomorrow anyway…” he said.

He didn't say the rest, seemingly because he felt it was a bit cheesy, but the general idea was that he wouldn't leave and would stay with him like this.

Her initially reluctant gaze instantly turned to joy. The sudden surprise truly filled Yao Shuli's heart with happiness. In that instant, it seemed that her physical discomfort had been greatly alleviated by this moment of joy.

But soon, she frowned slightly and hesitated before saying, "I have an event tomorrow and I also have to record a song. I'm very busy and may not have time to spend with you."

She's come all this way, it wouldn't be right not to keep her company, but she's also very busy with work...

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Shen Ming’en waved his hand and said frankly, “It’s not your fault. I didn’t tell you I was coming. I’ll follow you wherever you go, or you can just come find me when you’re done. I’ll be there whenever you call.”

Upon hearing this, Yao Shuli couldn't help but smile...

"Ming'en, didn't you say you came here for work?" Nan Nan, the assistant beside him, asked with a gossipy look on her face, "Why do you seem to have a lot of free time?"

Shen Ming'en was stunned...

"Emmm..." His face flushed red.

"Nan Nan!" Yao Shuli blushed under the night sky.

A subtle ambiguity permeated their conversation in the gloomy, damp weather.

Assistant Nan Nan couldn't help but shiver, thinking to herself, "I've definitely had my fill of this PDA tonight!"
