The next day.

Li Mingxuan slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up. He then cooked some porridge, fried an egg, and ate it with some pickled vegetables to make do.

Then, seeing that it was still early, he took the opportunity to do a thorough cleaning of his doghouse, changing the sheets, washing clothes, mopping the floor, and tidying up the room so it wouldn't look so messy.

It took me an hour and a half to finish. I was exhausted and covered in sweat, my clothes were stuck to my body. I took a shower and changed my clothes, and then, seeing that it was almost time, I left home with the USB drive.

He glanced at the navigation and saw that the recording studio was about a 20-minute bike ride away, so he didn't take a taxi. Instead, he scanned a shared bicycle and rode there.

At 12:30, he arrived at the recording studio, a two-story building with a small footprint.

Pushing open the door, there was a receptionist at the entrance, where a young woman dressed in a business suit was sitting.

"Hello, I made an appointment yesterday. I'll be recording at 1 PM today," Li Mingxuan said as he stepped forward.

Upon hearing the voice, the receptionist immediately stood up, a smile appearing on her youthful face. When she saw that the person who came in was such a handsome young man, her eyes lit up, and her voice became sweet.

"Hello, what is your surname? What are the last four digits of your phone number?"

Li Mingxuan responded and gave his phone number. The girl then checked the number on her computer and said...

"Mr. Li, your appointment is at one o'clock in the morning, in recording studio number five. There are still people inside. Please wait a moment."

"Okay." Li Mingxuan glanced at the time; there were still about 20 minutes left.

"You can sit here for a while. I'll let you know when it's time." The young woman walked out from behind the counter and led Li Mingxuan to the waiting area to rest.

After Li Mingxuan sat down, the girl thoughtfully poured him a glass of water and put it down. Then she returned to the front desk and kept glancing up at him.

I sat and scrolled through my phone for a while, and time flew by.

The receptionist came over again and said to Li Mingxuan, "Mr. Li, recording studio number five is now available. The editor is already waiting inside. I'll take you there."

"Okay, thank you, I appreciate your help!"

The girl smiled brightly, replied to Li Mingxuan that he was welcome, and then led him over.

Pushing open the door to recording studio number five, a bespectacled man, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, was already sitting inside. He immediately stood up upon seeing the newcomer.

"Teacher He, the guest who made the appointment has arrived."

"Okay, Xiao Zhou, you can go back now," the editor said to the girl.

"Hello, my name is He Feng. Are you here to record a song?"

Li Mingxuan nodded: "Yes, Teacher He, I want to record two songs."

"Okay, did you bring any accompaniment?" He Feng asked.

Li Mingxuan took a USB drive out of his pocket and handed it to him: "The accompaniment is in there."

He Fang took the USB drive, plugged it into his work computer, and saw a folder. After opening it, he found two audio files.

"These are the two songs, right?"

“That’s right.” Li Mingxuan nodded.

"Shall we start now?"

"Ok!"

“Okay, then go into the recording studio. I’ll transfer the accompaniment into it for you.” He Feng didn’t stop him, and then gestured for Li Mingxuan to go into the recording studio.

This is an isolation space of about five square meters, with a pair of headphones hanging on a shelf.

Once the door was closed, it became a relatively enclosed space. Li Mingxuan walked over, put on his headset, and laid out the lyrics he had prepared on the shelf.

He Feng's voice came through the earpiece: "Is there sound in the headset?"

Li Mingxuan nodded.

"I'll play the accompaniment now. If you're ready, give me a hand signal, and then we'll start," He Feng said.

Li Mingxuan nodded again.

Then, a melodious and light accompaniment, like a summer breeze, filled the earphones.

Li Mingxuan checked the volume of the accompaniment and thought it was acceptable. Then he reached out to He Feng outside and made an OK gesture.

He Feng nodded, then pulled the accompaniment back to the beginning.

Then Li Mingxuan's first ever song recording session officially began.

Following the accompaniment, Li Mingxuan began to sing earnestly. The song "Summer Breeze" is a gentle and beautiful melody, like a breeze that calms people's restless hearts, as if they are in nature, feeling the breath of life and dispelling the summer heat.

After the song ended, Li Mingxuan took off his headset, walked out of the recording studio, and went to He Feng's side.

How is Teacher He?

"The first take was pretty good, listen to it first."

He Feng then replayed the recorded audio. Li Mingxuan's singing and the accompaniment blended together, and at first listen, it sounded quite good.

But Li Mingxuan felt that something was not quite right.

He crossed one arm over his chest and rested his chin on the other, deep in thought, recalling the original singer from that world and searching for differences.

A moment later, something suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately spoke to He Feng.

"Teacher He, let's do it again."

He Feng nodded, then saved the audio he had just recorded to his computer for later use, and then re-imported the accompaniment.

He has been an editor for over 10 years and has seen many people record audio, some even more than ten times. Li Mingxuan's first take was very good, which greatly surprised him.

Li Mingxuan re-entered the recording studio, put on his headset, and then gestured to He Feng outside.

The melody started again, and then Li Mingxuan suddenly whistled, which startled He Feng. He was puzzled, but he didn't say anything and continued doing his own thing.

After finishing a song, Li Mingxuan came out again and looked at He Fang.

Listen to the effect.

He Feng opened the audio he had just recorded and let Li Mingxuan listen to the effect. The accompaniment started, and then Li Mingxuan's whistling was mixed in. The effect was not as good as the first time. The whistling and the accompaniment had a noticeable abruptness.

Li Mingxuan frowned. He remembered that the song had a whistling element, but why did the effect be so different when he recorded it?

He began to recall the memories of that world from the beginning, while He Feng watched from the side and offered his own opinions, but none of them were accepted by Li Mingxuan.

A few minutes later, Li Mingxuan's eyes lit up, and he said to He Feng, "Teacher He, when I go in later, when I tell you to start, please play the accompaniment a few seconds later. Play it after my whistling ends, and we'll try again!"

"Okay." Seeing that Li Mingxuan was still unwilling to give up, he had no choice but to agree. After all, he wasn't the one recording the song, and the effect depended on the client's own wishes.

Entering the recording studio for the third time, Li Mingxuan put on his headset and then signaled to He Feng to begin.

He Feng nodded, then raised one hand and gave Li Mingxuan a countdown gesture.

As He Feng's countdown ended, Li Mingxuan immediately started whistling. A few seconds later, the whistling stopped, and He Feng immediately started playing the accompaniment.
