The next day at noon.
Su Yu was woken up by his alarm clock.
"Dog, have you eaten?"
As soon as he got his phone, the little fairy sent him a message.
"Not yet, I just woke up..."
"It's already noon, and you're still sleeping."
"I've been a bit tired lately."
"By the way, what have you been doing lately? I've noticed we're chatting less. Tell me, did you find other girls behind my back, so you don't have time to chat with me!"
"How could that be... I just applied to be a producer, so I've been a bit busy."
"Applied to be a producer? Aren't you just a freshman? You can write songs already?"
"Of course, I'm a genius."
"Pfft... narcissistic dog."
"I'm really not narcissistic. Have you heard a song called 'Later' recently? I wrote that."
"Hey, be serious! If you joke again, I won't talk to you!"
The little fairy didn't believe him.
Su Yu was a bit speechless.
Why is it that sometimes when he tells the truth, people just don't believe him...
However, he didn't explain further.
There was no need to show off these things to the little fairy.
She would know when they met later.
After chatting for a while longer.
Su Yu prepared to get up.
He looked up at Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang, why haven't I seen you go out these past few days?"
It was already noon, and Zhang Yang was still sleeping in bed.
Zhao De and Zhou Tao had turned as black as two lumps of coal after a few days of military training.
Today it was raining, so there was no military training, and snores filled the room.
"Go out for what?" Zhang Yang rubbed his sleepy eyes when he heard Su Yu call him.
"To see an online girlfriend." Su Yu chuckled.
"Meng Ting released a new song these past few days, and I had to attend events, so I wasn't in Shuangqing City."
Zhang Yang seemed a bit down.
Su Yu frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Zhang Yang's online girlfriend, Zhou Mengting, was also an artist at Xinghui Entertainment.
However, besides Jiang Xiao'e, he hadn't heard of any other artist from Xinghui releasing a new song recently.
"I'm so bored, Su Yu, what should I do?"
Sitting up in bed, Zhang Yang grabbed his hair in frustration.
Because of Su Yu, he didn't have to participate in military training.
Su Yu was also out running errands, leaving him bored to death in the dorm.
"Aren't you playing games?" Su Yu chuckled.
"Playing games, my ass! A bunch of noobs. I finally reached Gold, and then I kept losing until I was back in Bronze. I was so angry I uninstalled it. This crappy game ruined my youth!"
Upon mentioning games, Zhang Yang was so angry he almost jumped out of bed.
"Uh... how about I write a song for you to sing?"
Su Yu really wanted to say, it's not that the teammates are bad, it's that you are too bad.
But he was afraid Zhang Yang might get provoked and do something drastic, so he decided to change the subject.
"You've got a lot of confidence since joining the entertainment company recently. But forget about your songs, I'm afraid I'll be beaten up if I sing them outside."
Zhang Yang's face was full of disdain.
He knew Su Yu had recently joined an entertainment company.
But he had known Su Yu since they were kids and knew his capabilities. What good songs could Su Yu write?
"Really don't want it?"
A strange smile flickered across Su Yu's face.
"Don't!"
"Don't regret it."
"If I regret it, then I'll kneel and call you daddy!"
"That's a good suggestion, very tempting."
"Get lost. I know your skill level."
Zhang Yang waved his hand dismissively.
To make Brother Yang kneel and call him daddy, he'd have to wait for the next life.
Just as they were bickering.
Su Yu's phone rang.
"Classmate Jiang." Su Yu answered.
"Teacher Su Yu, do you have time? I'd like to treat you to a meal."
"Okay, the school cafeteria?"
"Outside. How about hot pot?"
"No problem."
Well, that saved him another lunch expense.
This Jiang Xiao'e is good. She knows to treat me to a meal to thank me after becoming popular.
If she doesn't get arrogant later, I can give her more songs. If she becomes popular, I'll earn more money.
"Who's treating?"
As soon as he hung up, Zhang Yang shot up from the bed.
"A colleague from the company, who also attends our school." Su Yu said with a smile.
"Can I go too?"
It wasn't about the meal itself, but he was so bored, he was going to grow wings in the dorm.
"Let's go, but you're paying for the meal."
"Paying for it is fine. Does Brother Yang owe you money for a meal?"
Good, Zhang Yang is paying this time. Next time I'll have Jiang Xiao'e treat, saving two meal expenses.
...
Gong Shixiong Hot Pot.
It was the largest hot pot chain in Shuangqing City.
Not only did it have dozens of branches in Shuangqing City, but it also had branches in various cities across China.
"Teacher Su Yu, over here!"
From afar, Su Yu saw Jiang Xiao'e waiting at the entrance.
She was wearing a refreshing sportswear outfit today, with a mask on her face.
"Classmate Jiang, not bad, you're even wearing a mask."
Su Yu walked up and teased.
"Teacher Su Yu is joking."
Jiang Xiao'e lowered her head shyly.
"Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Zhang Yang. He's in the vocal music department like you, but he's just a freshman."
"Hello, junior." Hearing that he was Su Yu's friend, Jiang Xiao'e quickly extended her hand to greet him.
Su Yu's friend is my friend, Jiang Xiao'e.
The song "Later" had become a complete hit, and Jiang Xiao'e, a newcomer, had successfully debuted with this song.
She now had over 500,000 Weibo followers, and the number was still increasing.
These days, she had been following the crew for promotions, greatly increasing her exposure and becoming somewhat popular.
This opportunity was given to her by Su Yu.
Being good to Su Yu's friend was giving face to Su Yu.
She was a grateful person.
"You're... are... are... Jiang Xiao'e??"
Zhang Yang exclaimed in surprise.
Holy crap, isn't this the recently popular Jiang Xiao'e?
Qingda's new goddess.
The singer of "Later."
Speaking of which, Zhang Yang's current ringtone was still this song.
"What are you spacing out for? The girl has already extended her hand."
Su Yu reminded him with a smile.
"Hehe, s-s-sorry, I was just too surprised. H-h-hello, senior, my name is Zhang Yang, the Zhang from Zhang Fei, the Yang from flying high... Wait! The Yang from flying high."
Zhang Yang slapped himself first, then grabbed Jiang Xiao'e's hand. He was so nervous that his hands were trembling.
However, he knew his limits and only held her hand for a moment before letting go, standing there a bit flustered.
Damn it, what's wrong with me today? Why am I stuttering when I meet a senior?
"Hehe... Teacher Su Yu, let's go in and eat and chat."
Jiang Xiao'e covered her mouth and giggled, amused by Zhang Yang.
This guy was too funny.
"Let's go."
Su Yu nodded.
...
Because she was afraid of being disturbed, Jiang Xiao'e booked a private room.
After everyone was seated, the waiter brought the soup base and dipping oil.
"Since you can't easily go out, I'll help you get the condiments!"
Zhang Yang volunteered.
"Thank you." Jiang Xiao'e smiled sweetly at him and handed him the bowl.
"What are you thanking me for? Don't be so formal. You are Su Yu's friend, so you are naturally my friend, Zhang Yang."
After saying that, he grabbed the bowl and ran out.
Holy crap, the stutter is finally gone.
This feels so good...
"Pfft... Teacher Su Yu, your friend is really interesting."
Jiang Xiao'e said with a light laugh to Su Yu, watching Zhang Yang's retreating back.
"Cough cough... He's just like that, gets nervous when he sees girls..."
Not really.
Su Yu added two more words in his mind.
He was also puzzled. Zhang Yang wasn't usually like this.
