The cool night breeze blew.
The two touched, and the atmosphere was incredibly quiet.
Countless images flashed through Morita Yui's mind.
Under the spotlight, that man sang touching songs, and countless people below cheered.
Her sister's infatuated gaze, and her own mockery.
"Listen...Listen to the rain?" Finally, Morita Yui spoke, her voice filled with disbelief.
"Hello, Miss Yui, I am Jiangnan now." Su Yu's lips curled as he extended his hand to her, speaking with a smile.
He didn't know about the matters between the Morita sisters, only that both of them were from Niwei Entertainment and held very high positions in the company.
It was precisely for this reason that Su Yu decided to cooperate with her, as it might open up other business avenues in the future.
"H-how is that possible?" Morita Yui stared blankly at Su Yu, then conditionally reached out her hand.
After shaking hands, she looked into Su Yu's deep eyes and recoiled as if she had been electrocuted.
She instantly felt a sense of kinship with her sister.
It wasn't obvious on stage, but after meeting him, she understood why her sister was so infatuated with this man.
The man's gaze was like a black hole; one wrong step and you'd be completely drawn in.
"Listen...Mr. Jiangnan, let's talk while we eat." She changed the subject.
Su Yu nodded.
The two walked to the table.
Before long, the waiter brought out plates of exquisite dishes and lit the candles on the table.
The flickering candlelight, combined with the melodious music, made the space feel romantic and intimate.
Morita Yui, who had always been poised and sociable, suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
She hesitated several times before finally, under Su Yu's gaze, a blush crept onto her cheeks.
Is Tingyu the same as Mr. Jiangnan? He can write songs, sing beautifully, and make movies. Most importantly, he's so handsome!!
From the first moment she saw Su Yu, she had been repeating this thought in her mind.
But the moment she thought that such an excellent man already had a fiancée, she felt a deep sense of regret.
It was only for a moment, then she felt at ease. Who said a man with a fiancée lost his charm? His charm only grew!
Thinking about how she had wanted to offer herself to Jiangnan before, but Jiangnan was also her sister's beloved Tingyu, she suddenly felt a strange and complex emotion. There was no shyness, it even felt a little thrilling.
"Miss Yui, I believe you know why you refused to let others write the theme song after seeing me?"
Su Yu broke the silence. The main reason for his visit this time was to discuss the theme song with Morita Yui.
The filming of the movie "Initial D" had been completed and was now in the post-production stage.
During promotions, a theme song would naturally be included. Morita Yui had previously suggested having the company's producer, Miyamoto Ze, write it, but Su Yu had refused. After all, if the movie was filmed according to the original plot, Su Yu wouldn't let go of the songs.
The songs "Drift" and "All the Way North" had to be included.
"Yui understands, Mr. Jiangnan wants to write the song himself." Morita Yui nodded.
She had been shocked earlier and was only now coming back to her senses. Although her mind was still a bit muddled, she could still think.
It made sense that Jiangnan didn't want Miyamoto Ze to write the song; he himself was the best candidate.
"So, you agree?" Su Yu took a sip of red wine and smiled at Morita Yui.
That charming smile made Morita Yui's breathing quicken. She quickly nodded and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "If it's Mr. Jiangnan, it's fine for him to write the song himself."
Although this man looked handsome before, she had treated him as an enemy. Now that they were teammates, besides his good looks, he possessed a fatal allure.
"That's good, but what about the cost..." Su Yu feigned difficulty.
Although they were cooperating, favors were favors, and money was money; the two were to be kept separate.
"Just name your price, Mr. Yui will agree." Morita Yui had completely become a soft girl, easy to mold.
She knew she was negotiating a business deal with Su Yu, but who could resist such a handsome and talented man?
The money was secondary; as long as they could cooperate happily, it was the best.
Moreover, besides movies, she was also responsible for anime. Previously, she had always asked Miyamoto Ze to write theme songs for anime, but getting Miyamoto Ze required her sister's consent.
Now that she knew Tingyu, she had another option. She didn't need to go through her sister anymore; she could directly ask Tingyu to write the theme songs, which would prevent her sister from blocking her.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to gain Tingyu's friendship!
"Then, to a pleasant cooperation." Su Yu, who didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, immediately raised his wine glass.
"To a pleasant cooperation." Morita Yui clinked glasses with Su Yu.
Along with her happiness, a strange sense of excitement surged.
She was having a candlelight dinner with the man her sister adored. If her sister knew that her beloved Tingyu was actually the Jiangnan she described as ugly and afraid to meet people, what would her reaction be?
Thinking of this, Morita Yui felt even happier.
Su Yu saw the girl giggling to herself and felt a bit confused but didn't pry. After eating his fill, he prepared to leave. "Miss Yui, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Thank you for the hospitality."
The matter was settled, and there was no need to stay any longer.
Tomorrow was the fourth competition of "King of Music Times," and Morita Yui was, in a way, the boss of his rival, Miyamoto Ze. It seemed inappropriate to linger.
"Ah?" Morita Yui was startled. "Mr. Jiangnan is leaving so early?"
Hearing that Su Yu was leaving, she suddenly felt a sense of reluctance.
"The night view under Mount Fuji is beautiful, and it's been a while since Yui has seen it. Could Mr. Jiangnan accompany me for a stroll?" she asked Su Yu, mustering her courage.
"This..." Su Yu was considering how to refuse her.
"Actually, I have two main businesses. Besides movies, there's also anime. The popularity of some older anime has waned, and I want to update their theme songs and see if I can have the honor of cooperating further..."
"Anime theme songs, I do know a little about that."
Su Yu's interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this.
It had to be said that Japanese anime culture had a considerable influence worldwide, and their cultural output in this regard was well done. Before, when he saw the Japanese singer Momoka, Su Yu had considered having her sing anime songs. Now that Morita Yui brought it up, it was a good opportunity to discuss.
"Alright, let's talk then." Su Yu nodded.
Morita Yui was filled with joy upon hearing this.
She felt that she was beginning to understand this man's psychology. Although he treated people very kindly, he always maintained a certain boundary.
This boundary was that when things were about to become intimate, this man would stop them very promptly.
"Mr. Jiangnan is truly a good man. I finally understand why my sister is so infatuated with him!" Morita Yui thought to herself.
What girl wouldn't want a handsome and talented man? Historically, scholars were often passionate, but Su Yu was not only talented but also so devoted; he was truly the dream of countless girls!
