Chapter 709: A Request
"Paper and pen? Yes! Yes!" Su Xiaoxi, filled with questions in her head, wondered why Lin Feng would suddenly ask for paper and pen. Could it be... Could it be that Lin Feng was going to write a song for her? Yes! It must be so; otherwise, why would Lin Feng ask her for paper and pen so abruptly!
With that thought, Su Xiaoxi couldn’t be bothered with anything else and immediately started looking for paper and a pen for Lin Feng. Although it seemed very strange to her that Lin Feng could write songs, having witnessed Lin Feng’s capabilities, she subconsciously believed that if Lin Feng said so, it meant he surely could. Therefore, letting Lin Feng write a couple of songs for her didn’t seem like a bad idea.
Soon, Su Xiaoxi found some paper and a pen and handed them to Lin Feng. Lin Feng took them, closed his eyes, and after a minute, he finally opened his eyes. Once his eyes opened, the pen in his hands never stopped.
In less than five minutes, Lin Feng stopped writing.
"Take a look first," Lin Feng said as he handed the song he had just finished writing to Su Xiaoxi, then started writing again.
As Su Xiaoxi looked at the paper Lin Feng passed her, with both lyrics and music on it, she understood the entire rhythm after one read-through. Looking at Lin Feng, her eyes almost popped out of her head; she could clearly feel that if she actually sang the song, it could surpass all her previous tracks. Lin Feng... Lin Feng was truly incredible!
But the surprises for Su Xiaoxi were far from over. Under Lin Feng’s hands, in just three more minutes, another new song was born.
"Let’s start with these two songs; see what you think," Lin Feng said as he put down his pen and handed the papers to Su Xiaoxi. Right now, hastily writing a couple of songs and trying them out seemed like the right thing to do.
"Ah! This... this..." Su Xiaoxi took the songs Lin Feng wrote, completely stunned. She truly couldn’t believe that writing songs seemed like a game to Lin Feng. In under ten minutes, he had written two such high-quality songs. This... this was truly unbelievable! She had never heard of anyone who could write lyrics and compose music so effortlessly. How could this be possible!
"Don’t say anything else; is there a piano? Let’s try the effect first," Lin Feng said without paying heed to Su Xiaoxi’s astonishment and quickly added. Since he had chosen to help Su Xiaoxi on this matter, it was best to just try out how it sounded, without wasting time on other things.
"No piano; there’s an electronic keyboard though, will that do?" Sun Jian, who was nearby, immediately responded upon hearing Lin Feng’s question. To be honest, he also wanted to see what kind of songs Lin Feng had written in such a short time. There was no piano backstage, but there was an electronic keyboard. The company’s band had just left the stage, and the keyboard was in storage. Sun Jian was ready to fetch it if Lin Feng needed it.
"That’ll do, go get it. Miss Su, take a good look at the lyrics," Lin Feng said simply. For him, as long as it was for accompaniment, a piano and an electronic keyboard were just the same.
"Okay, I’ll get it now!" Sun Jian, hearing Lin Feng’s response, immediately ran out and soon came back carrying an electronic keyboard.
Lin Feng took the electronic keyboard, tested it, and found the effect quite satisfactory. Then his hands moved, producing divine sounds from the electronic keyboard as naturally as clouds flowing through the sky.
When Su Xiaoxi heard the sound of Lin Feng’s keyboard, she too began to sing along with the accompaniment.
"Whether our past or present, we dwell in memories, our friendship in this life is ever-present, wishing for eternal longevity..."
Lin Feng’s peerless piano skills, paired with Su Xiaoxi’s voice-like celestial ethereal tones, created a paramount song of the human world that resounded backstage...
Sun Jian stood by, stunned, as he could never have imagined that such exquisite singing would be heard in this backstage area. This... this was truly inconceivable!
Before they knew it, the song had ended!
Su Xiaoxi, immersed in the moment, finally collected herself and looked at Lin Feng, her eyes brimming with excited tears. When she first saw the lyrics and melodies, she predicted that the song would be extraordinary, but it was only after collaborating with Lin Feng that she realized the song far surpassed her imagination. If this song were performed at a concert, it would certainly shock the world. This song could be called a masterpiece of the Chinese music scene that comes once in a century!
"Lin Feng, thank you!" Su Xiaoxi found herself lost for other words, her heart filled with nothing but gratitude, unable to express the intense emotions swirling inside her. Lin Feng had not only saved her but had also provided her with invaluable advice and written two songs for her, both of superior quality. Words were simply not enough to express her gratitude.
As Su Xiaoxi looked at Lin Feng, her eyes moist, she hadn’t anticipated encountering so many events in Tianhai, like Yang Guo’s despicable behavior, and most surprisingly, the multiple times Lin Feng had saved her. What amazed her even more was Lin Feng’s vocal performance; his skill was of a master’s level—no, far surpassing any famous lyricist or composer of the present. No one else but Lin Feng could have created such world-shattering music in such a short time.
Oh Lin Feng, what kind of person are you really?
The more Su Xiaoxi looked at Lin Feng, the more incredible she found him to be. Incomprehensibly gifted in both combat and songwriting beyond the limits of ordinary comprehension, Lin Feng seemed magical, to the point where no words could aptly describe him. The term "genius" felt utterly inadequate.
Now, Su Xiaoxi’s heart was racing, overtaken by her wonder for Lin Feng. Unconsciously, her heart had given itself to him completely. She was almost certain of one thing: Lin Feng was the savior sent by the heavens, her salvation. Otherwise, how could she have encountered such a miraculous man? Perhaps... perhaps only someone like Lin Feng deserved to be her man.
At this thought, Su Xiaoxi’s heart was thrown into chaos again. She didn’t understand Lin Feng, didn’t know what his life was like, and he had three beautiful women by his side. If she were to fall for Lin Feng, what would her future hold? Her thoughts were in disarray, but one thing was clear: there could be no second person like Lin Feng in this world. If she missed the chance with him, she would regret it for life. But... what should she do then?
Su Xiaoxi was utterly perplexed...
Similarly, Sun Jian, the entertainment company boss, was completely astounded by Lin Feng after hearing the entire song. He, of course, understood what this song represented. If Su Xiaoxi were to perform this song publicly, it would definitely create a sensation across all Chinese-speaking forums worldwide!
Sun Jian was now utterly won over by Lin Feng. After years of experience in the industry, he had never encountered anyone who could match Lin Feng. He was absolutely certain that perhaps only Lin Feng could achieve what he did today. It was truly incredible. Lin Feng, in his early twenties, had written a song that would echo into eternity. Lin Feng was not just a genius; he was nothing short of a godly being!
Now, Sun Jian even forgot about Yang Guo, forgot the demands to force Su Xiaoxi into signing a contract. His mind was consumed with the song created by the collaboration of Su Xiaoxi and Lin Feng because, in his eyes, it was a song that would shock the world. If it were to be released, then... Tianxing Entertainment Company would surely become a top-notch company in the entertainment industry. By then...
Sun Jian was now lost in dreams of the future that he couldn’t extricate himself from!
"Don’t thank me. If you really want to thank me, I do have a request," Lin Feng waved his hand, indicating that Su Xiaoxi didn’t need to express any gratitude to him. These things were trivial in his view; besides, he had an unexpected gain that night—a culprit behind an attack on his senior sister’s Cloud Fund was identified. That alone was reward enough, but suddenly, Lin Feng remembered about Ding Wan’er and her wish for Su Xiaoxi to hold a concert at Yingbo University. With this in mind, Lin Feng truly wanted Su Xiaoxi to have a concert at Yingbo University.
"What is it?" Su Xiaoxi, hearing Lin Feng’s words, was immediately curious about what Lin Feng could possibly ask of her. It seemed she had no ability to help someone as formidable as him, aside from singing. What could Lin Feng possibly want from her?
Su Xiaoxi firmly believed that Lin Feng wouldn’t make any indecent requests. From their encounters, she had already sensed that Lin Feng was a very upright person. Other men looked at her with desire, but in Lin Feng’s eyes, she saw only tranquility, devoid of emotional fluctuations, which reassured her greatly.
However, another thought suddenly surfaced. If Lin Feng did make an unreasonable request, would she accept it? This was absolutely impossible with anyone else, but when it came to Lin Feng, Su Xiaoxi’s heart began to panic. She was genuinely disconcerted, even though she knew that Lin Feng would not do such a thing, yet for some reason, her heart held a sliver of hope. She was extremely conflicted...
"Mr. Lin, just say it. If we can help, we definitely will," Sun Jian interjected upon hearing Lin Feng’s request, curious about what Lin Feng might want Su Xiaoxi to do. Since she could only sing and knew little else, what could Lin Feng’s intention be?
Could it be... could it be that Lin Feng had designs on Su Xiaoxi? As Sun Jian entertained this thought, his eyes fixed on Lin Feng, searching Lin Feng’s gaze for a hint of something. But all he saw was a deep stillness, akin to an undisturbed well, which eased his concerns. He couldn’t see any man’s desire in Lin Feng’s eyes. So... what did Lin Feng want Su Xiaoxi to do? Sun Jian couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
