Chapter 74, I Agree to Be Her Female Friend (Please Subscribe)
Yujing Garden.

At Chu Yourong's home.

As the numbers for "There's a Regret Called Us" continued to soar, a bright smile appeared on the girl's slightly chubby face.

Although this song isn't as highly regarded as "Decent," that doesn't matter. After all, "Decent" is the kind of song that can be a lifelong masterpiece, something you can only come across once in a lifetime.

With such a successful song already established, the new song would be considered a success if it could simply capitalize on the popularity generated by "Decent." Judging from the feedback from netizens, it seems to have been quite successful.

The song has not only secured the top spot on the new song chart, but has also topped the rising chart. At its current pace, it may very well climb to the top of the trending chart in a couple of days, thus replicating the feat of "Decent" achieving the top spot on three charts.

Even if it only stays at the top of the trending charts for a day, or even half a day, it's still an achievement.

"Weiwei, do you think Zhang Xian wrote this song for me?"

Han Ziwei was also at Chu Yourong's house at the moment. The two were not only best friends, but also neighbors. Han Ziwei also lived in Yujingyuan, but she and Chu Yourong did not live in the same building.

"Uh, how would I know?"

Han Ziwei was somewhat absent-minded at the moment. Ever since she met Zhang Xian last time, Zhang Xian's words would occasionally pop into her mind.

She originally wanted to imitate her best friend Chu Yourong by spending money to buy a "boyfriend," but Zhang Xian now disagrees.

There's no way around it, I'm flush with cash!

Then that guy suggested that we could be female friends!
This is definitely the behavior of a scumbag.

A few days ago, Han Ziwei didn't intend to pay any attention to this matter. She didn't accept any unspoken rules when she was at Rongshu Entertainment. Does she have to sleep with songwriters when she comes to Xianyu Music?
What a joke!
However, after seeing the success of Chu Yourong's new song, she wavered a bit.

Singers, of course, all hope to have a signature song.

Han Ziwei, who also came from the same group Moonlight Girls, is currently popular, but her biggest problem is that she doesn't have a representative work.

Unlike Chu Yourong, who has a pair of eye-catching breasts, the "Milk Rong" label alone is enough to keep her in the top tier.

Therefore, Han Ziwei's popularity has actually been slowly declining, and she urgently needs a breakout role or a hit single to stabilize the downward trend.

Han Ziwei has little talent in acting. The drama in which she starred as the second female lead just aired last month, but it flopped and made little splash. Her acting skills were also criticized by many viewers.

She doesn't have any dramas airing anytime soon, and if she joins another production, it might be a year before the drama airs.

Therefore, releasing songs becomes the best option, as it has a short operating cycle and quick results.

Moreover, with her best friend Chu Yourong as a successful example, she was naturally very tempted. At this moment, she was having a fierce internal struggle, so she was not in the mood to discuss with Chu Yourong whether "There is a Regret Called Us" was written for her.

"I think it was written for me."

"Zhang Xian has a crush on me, and he's indirectly confessing his feelings to me!"

Chu Yourong looked smug. After her debut, she was labeled as the goddess of otaku. Whether online or in real life, countless boys fawned over her, which indirectly led to her developing a "narcissistic" personality.

"No, it's a story about unrequited love."

"Look at the lyrics, it says, 'I can't bear to part with you, but I can't marry you.'"

Han Ziwei stroked her chin: "Do you think Zhang Xian has fallen in love with a married woman?"

"No way!"

Chu Yourong shook her head and said with a slight smile, "I think he wrote this song because he was too heartbroken after breaking up with me, and maybe he felt he wasn't good enough for me."

"You're so bold, aren't you?"

As Chu Yourong spoke, she took a few turtle pellets and threw them into the fish tank where "Daredevil" was kept.

This little turtle was caught by her and Zhang Xian when they were fishing by the river, and Chu Yourong has kept it at home ever since.

"Anyway, this song did quite well, exceeding my expectations!"

"Dare to stretch your neck and eat," Chu Yourong said happily.

"Yourong, you're so lucky!" "Two songs hit the charts in a row! You could live off this for the rest of your life!"

Han Ziwei sighed with envy.

"Why don't you get Zhang Xian to write songs too? You're just a nobody in the music industry now anyway."

"Besides, when you signed the contract with Uncle Zhang, didn't you say that Zhang Xian would write at least one song for you every year?"

In high spirits, Chu Yourong teased Dadan'er as she spoke.

"That's true, but whether Zhang Xian can write songs, and what quality they will be, is anyone's guess. If I push him, he can just throw out any song to get by, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

“You know that we singers are a vulnerable group when faced with powerful creators.”

Han Ziwei shook her head helplessly. The contract is a dead letter, but people are flexible.

Even the most talented songwriters can't produce masterpieces in every song. Whether they give you a masterpiece or garbage depends on their mood.

"When we meet again, I'll talk to him about it, and he'll definitely listen to me."

Chu Yourong was full of confidence, thinking to herself: If you want to date me, it's not too much to ask that you write a song for my best friend!
Han Ziwei rubbed her forehead. As her best friend, she certainly understood Chu Yourong; sometimes, the other woman was just too narcissistic!

"By the way, Huanjie told me that Zhang Xian's new song has been selected by Director Kong and will become the theme song for the upcoming TV series 'The Golden Years'."

"I have to admit, Zhang Xian is talented!"

"If you were with me, you would truly be a perfect match!"

Chu Yourong pouted, starting to indulge in her narcissism again.

"Yourong, what if... what if Zhang Xian didn't want to be with you, or what if he just wanted your body?"

What should you do?

Han Ziwei asked tentatively.

"You mean he doesn't want to be in a relationship, but he wants to sleep with me?"

"Uh-huh."

"That's a dream!"

Chu Yourong scoffed dismissively: "Even if we're dating, I still need to observe each other for a while. I'd need to get to know each other for at least a year or two before considering taking the next step, let alone if we're not dating at all!"

"Uh, you really think so?"

Han Ziwei hadn't discussed this topic with Chu Yourong before, since they were both single.

"Yes, girls need to protect themselves!"

Chu Yourong nodded solemnly.

Seeing that her best friend wasn't joking, Han Ziwei didn't continue the topic. Ever since her last meeting with Zhang Xian, she had been quietly gathering information about him, and then she discovered that Zhang Xian would actually deliver the fish after catching it.

Making a girl wear stockings to receive the goods, and adding many women on WeChat—the purpose is self-evident.

Based on what Zhang Xian had told her before, Han Ziwei could almost conclude that he was a pervert. How could someone like that possibly have a slow-burning romance with Chu Yourong?

This is just my best friend's wild imagination.

Since it's impossible for him and Chu Yourong, she might as well try Zhang Xian's suggestion.

When a greasy, fat man makes such a request, that's called an unspoken rule. But when it comes to making a deal with a young, handsome guy like Zhang Xian, it's just a matter of mutual benefit.

Han Ziwei made up an excuse for herself, then opened the WeChat chat window and sent a message to Zhang Xian: "I agree to be your female friend."
