Chapter 178
One day's schedule was filled with cuteness and warmth, because their phones had been taken away, so the seven girls of Tianming interacted frequently with the live broadcast audience.
Nan Xiangwan in particular would occasionally come up with some punchlines, making everyone laugh wildly, but she would keep a straight face, not understanding at all what was so funny.
After watching the giant pandas, they returned to the hostel that night.
Nan Xiangwan fine-tuned the arrangement of "RainCat" a bit more.
The opening features the sound of wind chimes, followed by the rich melody of the cello.
The middle section inserts the crisp feeling of the piano's black and white keys. The instrumentation of the whole song is simple, with no excessive drumming, striving for a warm feeling.
It's like a ray of warm sunshine on a rainy day.
It strikes directly at the softest part of one's heart!
Nan Xiangwan kept working hard on her tablet until the battery was nearly depleted.
And with that, the song was finally completed!
In the truest sense, this was a song she had written, composed and arranged all by herself!
Humming the melody and lyrics.
The corresponding feeling comes along with it.
"RainCat"
[A light rain falling in a small alley]
[Trickling down on the bricks and tiles that span ten days]
[I met a cat in the rain, you responded to my call]
[I met a cat in the rain, a smile appearing at the corner of its mouth]
[Tenderness arises because of you, little kitty, little kitty]
[When will you grow up, little kitty, little kitty]
[I met a cat in the rain, at a street corner alley]
[I lingered because of the rain, turning around to meet the cat]
[Little kitty, little kitty]
Her teammates had already gone back to their rooms to rest, leaving only coach Hua who kept watch in the quiet living room.
Hua Yuanwu had been very sleepy, nearly dozing off leaning against the sofa.
Hearing Nan Xiangwan's soft singing, he looked over.
This song...
It's so gentle!
Glancing again at the girl's profile, Hua Yuanwu clutched his heart.
He was struck!
Such a nice girl, which big bad wolf would take her away in the future?
Just thinking about it breaks his heart!
Nan Xiangwan saw that it was already 1 am.
Unknowingly, she had been working for several hours.
[Ding!]
[Mission Complete: Main hit song "RainCat" for Tianming Girl Group]
[Mission Reward: 10 sets of high school mock exam papers]
Nan Xiangwan: "???"
Damn you!
What kind of reward is this?
Are you crazy!
Nan Xiangwan nimbly went upstairs, pushed open the glass door, crossed the sky garden, and climbed over the railing.
Arriving at her comrade's home!
The door to the second floor tea room was open. Nan Xiangwan slid it further open and walked right in.
Then she eagerly clattered down the stairs.
She could already smell the aroma!
Today, her comrade had cooked braised chicken!
Hearing the footsteps, Gu Beihuai smiled and brought out dishes from the kitchen, beckoning Nan Xiangwan to eat.
The two hadn't seen each other since the livestreamed study session ten days ago.
They also hadn't really texted or called during that time.
This left Gu Beihuai feeling a little regretful. If he had known, he wouldn't have left so many solution videos - it resulted in Nan Xiangwan not needing to contact him at all!
Nan Xiangwan wasn't one to stand on ceremony either. She dug right in as if it were her own home, and even boldly dished out more rice for herself from the kitchen.
This made Gu Beihuai seem even more useless...
After eating her fill, Nan Xiangwan belched softly: "Where's your childhood friend?"
She had just casually asked, making small talk.
But Gu Beihuai overreacted, his voice suddenly shooting up a few degrees.
Gu Beihuai: "What childhood friend? I don't have any female friends!"
Nan Xiangwan: "???"
She picked at her ears. If he didn't, then he didn't. Why yell so loudly?
Gu Beihuai then realized: "You mean Jie Chou?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Mm-hmm."
Gu Beihuai: "..."
Why was Jie Chou his childhood sweetheart?
That was his buddy!
The term childhood sweetheart was too unacceptable!
Gu Beihuai: "He's dating someone now."
Nan Xiangwan was shocked, widening her eyes: "Huh?!"
Gu Beihuai's eyes narrowed slightly and he repeated: "He's dating."
Nan Xiangwan was very puzzled, did she misunderstand?
Gu Beihuai asked steadily: "You're very surprised to hear he's dating?"
Nan Xiangwan nodded without hesitation: "I thought you two were a couple!"
Gu Beihuai: "???"
This turn of events really left him at a loss for a time, but after a long pause he calmed down.
Oh, so it was just a misunderstanding!
So Gu Beihuai's expression returned to normal, a genial smile reappearing.
Gu Beihuai: "We're both straight men. Recently he's been pursuing a policewoman, and it seems they're close to success."
Nan Xiangwan: "Then congratulations to him are in order!"
Gu Beihuai: "Mm, he was able to succeed partly because that policewoman is also your fan. Having a shared idol brought their success rate up."
Nan Xiangwan: "Oh? Does that make me an unwitting matchmaker?"
Gu Beihuai: "Alright, enough gossip. Go back and do your homework after eating, there's only 25 days until the gaokao."
Nan Xiangwan: "Oh."
That was the one thing she didn't like about her comrade, he would push her to study at the drop of a hat.
