Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 9: Write me a song, and I'll split the profits with you!
At the time, Xia Shen couldn't connect the two people at all.

After all, one of them was an extremely mischievous little boy. When he was young, he often led him to do bad things, such as climbing trees to steal fruit and running home to ring people's doorbells.

And every time they did something naughty, only Xia Shen got caught!

Besides that, Zhou Yumeng was taller and stronger than him when they were young. In any case, Xia Shen never won when they had minor conflicts and fought.

Thank God, before they met again on the university campus, Xia Shen never imagined that the girl who had pinned him to the ground and beaten him was a girl.

After all, everyone was still young at that time, their voices hadn't changed yet, and they hadn't even started developing yet, when they had already left the seaside town with their parents.

Xia Shen was left crying her eyes out, alone and holding a row of Want Want milk cans, drinking them sadly under the osmanthus tree in her hometown for a long time.

Then, the next day, I was drawn into the cartoons on TV, which helped to ease my sadness.

This is the impression left by the nickname 'Zhou Zhou' when he was a child.

When they met again, she was a beautiful young woman, gentle and delicate, a head shorter than him. She looked up at him with bright, sparkling eyes, smiled, and asked if he still remembered her.

The two people are completely incompatible.

Until the other person revealed many things that only the two of them knew.
For example, when the two were a few years old, they would pee and play in the sandpit, and Xia Shen would always be the one to pee.

For example, at the beginning of the year Zhou Yumeng left, Xia Shen grabbed Zhou Yumeng's chest and asked curiously, "Strange, Zhou Zhou, why have your pectoral muscles gotten bigger?"

Then, because of this incident, he got a severe beating.

Xia Shen couldn't figure out why he would beat him up for no reason.
He was outmatched in height and size; he couldn't beat them in a fight, nor could he outrun them. He could only be pinned to the ground and beaten until he cried for a long time after being punched.

He swore at the time that he would ignore Zhou Yumeng for a week.

The next day, Zhou Yumeng's offer of spicy strips costing five cents a pack successfully broke her principles.

When Zhou Yumeng was smiling and telling him these things in the milk tea shop, and his dead memories were attacking him frantically, Xia Shen's toes under the table were practically digging a palace out of the floor.

This feels like my dark past has been dug up again; it's so damn shameful!

And it was this magical friendship that, after many years, led to a reunion where the childhood best friends had become friends of the opposite sex.

Actually, aside from the initial awkwardness, he later became more accepting of the return of this childhood friendship, and the two started communicating again, making their relationship harmonious once more.

It's such a magical friendship; we're all wonderful friends.

That's probably where it ends.

As for other random things, Xia Shen could only say that they were all things believed by the older generation.

Let's not even talk about how we were all just kids back then and what kind of nonsense we could possibly know.

Furthermore, there's the issue of disparity.

Putting aside his current situation, if he hadn't suddenly stumbled upon some good fortune and made some money, he would have lost all his savings over the years, and his future prospects would have been extremely bleak.

But what about Zhou Yumeng?

Although the two children took lessons in the same music room when they were young, their family backgrounds were vastly different, almost like heaven and earth.

Even now, they no longer need to worry about their future.

Putting aside the fact that he is a disciple of a famous master, his path was already arranged for him long ago.

In terms of talent, he is second to none and has already reached the finals of a nationally renowned music competition.

It was already destined that he would embark on a path to stardom, and it would be a smooth one!
She's already a singer, a rising star in the music industry.

Would anyone even look at him?
Although many times, when Xia Shen talked to Zhou Yumeng, he did feel that she really could do it.

However, he would always remind himself that this was one of the three great illusions of life, and not to believe it easily.

Besides, it's nice to have a friendship like this, so why break it?
What if I dial the wrong number? Wouldn't that make everyone feel awkward? How would we be able to interact with each other after that?

No, he didn't even have that thought!
Yes, that's right. Three major illusions can't fool his brilliant and powerful wisdom!

Drip, drop, drop——

Just then, Xia Shen's phone rang, breaking his train of thought.

He picked up his phone and stared at it for a moment.

Because what came in was a video call.

From [Zhou Yumeng]!
Wasn't she supposed to be in seclusion, fully preparing for the finals? How come she has time to call?
Xia Shen was puzzled for a moment.

He connected to the video call, and soon, the image appeared on the screen.

It was Zhou Yumeng's smiling face, squinting at him: "Oh ho, long time no see! Did you miss me, Xiao Shenzi?"

Xia Shen: "."

This sentence immediately silenced Xia Shengan.

How the hell am I supposed to answer you?
Zhou Yumeng is like that; sometimes she says surprising things, as if they just came out of nowhere, with a kind of beauty that never cares about the lives of others.

This often gave Xia Shen the wrong impression.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not hard to understand. Sometimes, it's actually because you have a clear conscience that you can speak very frankly without having to think about anything in between.

The more this is the case, the less we should be led astray by illusions.

It's an illusion! It's all an illusion! Friends can miss each other too!
Xia Shen's lips twitched slightly: "Why did you suddenly think of calling me again?"

Instead of answering the question directly, they asked other questions instead.

"What? Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"

In the video, Zhou Yumeng rolled her eyes, took a sip of her milk tea, then lay down on the sofa and smiled at Xia Yuan from a low angle, saying, "But you, have you noticed anything different about me?"

After speaking, Zhou Yumeng changed several angles to show herself on camera.

Xia Shen took a look and noticed the difference, and was stunned for a moment: "Why did you cut your hair?"

"Didn't you tell me you missed how you looked back then? So I'm planning to use this look for the finals, hehehe."

With that one sentence, Xia Shen's phone trembled.

He remembered. It was two months ago, when Zhou Yumeng was about to go to a competition and had her final farewell dinner. She was chatting with Xia Shen when Xia Shen casually blurted out a sentence.

In fact, he had long forgotten that the sentence was meaningless and was just something he blurted out.

Even now, this is the shape he sees.

Although it's still short hair, it doesn't have the same feel as before.

Even with the hair still on Zhou Yumeng's head, her pretty and lively charm could not be concealed.

It's just a different style of sweet girl.

Xia Shen's cheeks twitched.

"Alright, aren't you in a competition? If you have time, you should finish the competition first. This competition is really important to you."

"Tsk, boring."

Zhou Yumeng clicked her tongue: "I do have something important to do, and it's quite important. Can you give me a song? I don't have any songs to sing in the finals, so I can share the profits with you!"

This completely stunned Xia Shen, who was speechless: "Revenue sharing? Such a huge sum? Would your company agree to that? And you want me to write a song for you? Is your company crazy or am I crazy?"
