The exam for sophomore year was a song, a song that influences the choice of exchange program positions for junior year, so everyone naturally sought Lin Yuan’s help for the piano parts in the song arrangements…

Classmates need to record songs.

Lin Yuan also needs to record songs.

After all, he has some ideas about the exchange program for junior year, and for this, he even specially customized “Initial Dream” with the System.

“Turn to Starlight to record songs?”

This song needs a singer.

After all, there are plenty of tool users at Starlight and Lin Yuan can pick whichever one he wants.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Yuan changed his mind because he has someone beside him who is well-suited for this song’s vocal range.

His good friend Xia Fan!

Although doing this might reveal his identity, but since Xia Fan decided to pursue a career as a singer, she would find out sooner or later and there is no point in continuing to hide it.

So he contacted Xia Fan.

After ending the call, Lin Yuan gave it some thought and decided to invite Jian Yi as well.

The trio met at the cafeteria during lunch.

Lin Yuan immediately took out the sheet music for “Initial Dream” and gave it to Xia Fan.

“A song you wrote?”

Xia Fan saw the sheet music and was taken aback.

Lin Yuan nodded, and then sent a sample of “Initial Dream” to Xia Fan’s phone:

“Have a listen.

Okay.”

It wasn’t surprising that Lin Yuan could write songs.

After all, he had been studying in the composition department for quite a while.

Xia Fan thought Lin Yuan wanted her opinion, so she pulled out two Bluetooth headphones, planning to listen, and at the same time thought to herself that no matter how the song turned out, she would definitely encourage Lin Yuan.

Give me one too.”

Jian Yi snatched one of Xia Fan’s Bluetooth headphones and put it in his own ear, curious about the song Lin Yuan had written.

After listening for a few minutes…

Xia Fan suddenly turned to look at Lin Yuan in shock.

Not bad, Lin Yuan, this is a really good song!”

Jian Yi spoke up surprisingly, not understanding music himself, but still able to tell whether a song is good or not.

From the very first line, Lin Yuan’s song had impressed him!

Hmm.”

Lin Yuan didn’t respond to Jian Yi.

He looked at Xia Fan: “This song is for our annual assessment in the composition department. I’m going to submit it, but I still need a singer to perform it. How about you sing it?”

“Do you really want me to sing it?”

Xia Fan looked at Lin Yuan with a complex expression: “You’ve been studying music for so many years, you should know… this song is quite valuable…”

Of course she wanted to sing this song!

But this song is too good!

It would have a better effect if performed by a professional debut singer, could even become a big hit, Xia Fan didn’t want to let Lin Yuan down just because she wanted to sing it.

“What’s the matter with you, Xia Fan?”

Jian Yi was anxious: “Such a good song, do you really want to push it away? If Lin Yuan lets you sing it, just sing it!”

Xia Fan didn’t reply to Jian Yi either.

She quietly looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan smiled: “No need to worry about letting others hear it. You’re the most suitable for this song. Plus, there’s something else I want to tell the two of you.”

“What?¹

Both were suddenly nervous.

Lin Yuan said: “Actually, I am Xian Yu.”

Jian Yi was stunned, his last vague recollection was that this name sounded familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it before.

Xia Fan’s eyes widened: “Are you joking?”

Lin Yuan seriously said: “I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you before.”

“That’s not the point!”

Xia Fan locked onto Lin Yuan: “You really are Xian Yu?”

Lin Yuan nodded.

Before Xia Fan could say anything, Jian Yi suddenly remembered.

He realized who Xian Yu was!

This name… Xia Fan had mentioned it several times before.

Awhile back, hit songs like “Big Fish,” and several others, were all written by this Xian Yu!

This person turned out to be Lin Yuan?

Lin Yuan can actually write such amazing songs?

Just as the excited Jian Yi was about to say something, Xia Fan suddenly covered her face with her hands.

Jian Yi was startled, “What’s wrong with you, Xia Fan?”

Lin Yuan also looked at Xia Fan worriedly.

Xia Fan let go of his hand, his face turning crimson with excitement, glaring at Lin Yuan and saying, “One song isn’t enough!”

“The ones later on.”

Lin Yuan chuckles, “I’ll give you another when it suits, this is the only one I have at hand now.”

This song is not cheap.

Jian Yi patted his chest, “You scared me a bit. But Lin Yuan, you’ve been hiding this from us for so long, you ought to be punished!”

Xia Fan said fiercely, “He should be treated to a meal… no, make that two!

Lin Yuan, managing to keep a straight face, replies: “We’ll dine at the Oriental Restaurant tonight.”

This is the best restaurant around their school, Lin Yuan and his classmates from the composition department once visited, the pudding jelly there was incredibly delicious.

“Tonight it is then.”

Jian Yi and Xia Fan high-five in celebration.

Things from before make sense now, why did their leader allow Lin Yuan to stay in such a nice house, why was his company treatment so good?

Because Lin Yuan is Xian Yu.

Lin Yuan reminded Xia Fan,” We have to go to Starlight to record music another day.”

Xia Fan laughed, “Sure, but won’t giving me this song violate company regulations?”

Lin Yuan was taken aback, he’d completely forgotten about that.

According to company rules, he was not allowed to compose songs for outsiders privately, it had to be done through the company’s channel.

“Why don’t you just let Starlight sign Xia Fan directly, Lin Yuan? Can you do it?” Jian Yi isn’t sure about Lin Yuan’s standing in the company that allows for this power, so he asked tentatively.

Lin Yuan turned to Xia Fan, “Do you want to sign?”

Xia Fan nodded immediately, “Of course!”

Lin Yuan spoke: “I’ll talk to Ms. Zhao, it shouldn’t be too difficult. But the issue is, if you sign with the company now, your contract grade definitely won’t be high.”

“Huh?

Do rookies dare to dream of contract terms?

Xia Fan was struggling to keep up with Lin Yuan’s thoughts.

Lin Yuan explained: “If Xia Fan can catapult to fame with “Bloom”, he can definitely sign a relatively higher-grade contract with Starlight.”

It had been the same case with Zhao Ying Ge before.

Once the song blew up, people naturally wanted to sign him.

Xia Fan gave a bitter smile: “Lin Yuan, you have high expectations. For me, just being able to sign with Starlight is a huge deal, why think about more?”

I see.”

Lin Yuan made a phone call to Zhao Jue, letting him in on the situation. He trusted Zhao Jue a lot.

I see.”

Zhao Jue, upon hearing Lin Yuan’s request, ponderously said: “I can do that. I bet you want to increase her contract level a bit, right? No problem, we can sign a letter of intent first, if she achieves anything before signing the official contract, we can upgrade her contract level. However, this is essentially exploiting a loophole in the company’s policy, so before signing the official contract, make sure not to write songs for her using the Xian Yu pseudonym. Just using a fake identity would do.”

She didn’t even ask Lin Yuan who he intends to sign.

For many young dreamers, signing with Starlight could be a life goal, but for Zhao Jue, this was a small matter–

As long as Xian Yu asked for it.

“Thank you.”

Lin Yuan hung up the call.

Xia Fan and Jian Yi were anxious, “What did she say?”

Lin Yuan gave a slight smile, “Get ready to record. And most importantly, don’t let anyone know that I wrote the song, otherwise there will be trouble.”

Sure!

Xia Fan was excited.

Jian Yi also smiled, happy for his friend.

However, they took Lin Yuan’s warning to heart, careful not to reveal Lin Yuan’s identity to anyone.

Just to be safe, when they went to record the song a few days later, they rented a studio outside the school instead of using Starlight’s studio.

It’s always good to be cautious.

Meanwhile…

May had quietly passed.

At the stroke of midnight on June 1st.

The new music season officially begins in Qin Continent!

Chen Zhiyu, who was determined to win, confidently opened the music player.

“Top recommended resource.”

His new song was placed in the most noticeable spot on the quick access recommendations, Chen Zhiyu was satisfied with the attention his song was given.

Hm?”

Glancing at the other song recommendations, Chen Zhiyu suddenly noticed a new song recommendation called “Red Rose”.

It’s a song from Starlight.

The singer is Sun Yao Huo, who he heard from an agent before. Sun is the singer for Jin Shuyu’s slot at Starlight, and the lyrics and composition are …

Oh, my God!”

All of a sudden, Chen Zhiyu’s hand shook, his mouse almost flew out of his hand-
