Under the willow tree.
Lin Xuan held the golden guitar, basking in the sunlight.
As the guitar intro began to play.
A cheerful and magnetic voice emerged, singing along with the guitar melody.
.....
"In my heart, I plant a seed, da-la-dee-da-la~~"
"It can fulfill little wishes, with magical power~~"
"I hear every child wants to have it"
"Get ready now~~ Oh yeah~~ Let's explore together~~"
.....
"This seed in my heart is about to sprout~~"
"Every day, I work harder for it~~"
"Mom and Dad say every dream is great~~"
"Siblings, let's charge forward together! Push, push~~"
.....
Just the opening lines were enough to captivate everyone present.
This song is so joyful!
And it sounds amazing, totally my style~~
This man... did he really create a song in ten steps?!
Chen Kexin's mouth hung open, stunned and frozen in place.
Only the tuft of hair on her head swayed unsteadily in the breeze.
She quickly became immersed in the song, unable to pull herself away.
For Chen Kexin, who had loved anime since she was a child, this type of children's song was her favorite.
Especially this song.
The lyrics perfectly expressed children's self-affirmation and courage to move forward.
And the singer's hope for the children...
...to bravely chase their dreams, unafraid of the future, with heartfelt blessings to stride forward boldly.
Of course.
For many children, such profound meanings might be beyond their understanding.
So, Chen Kexin raised her eyebrows, suddenly feeling a strange sense of realization.
"This song for children..."
"...might be too childish, but it feels just right for adults~~"
Unconsciously.
Completely carried away by the melody, Chen Kexin's cherry lips parted slightly as she began to hum along...
....
"Ok go, come on~ come on~~"
"Ok go, come on~ come on~~"
"Hold firm to the thoughts we have right now~~"
....
"Ok go, come on~ come on~~"
"Ok go, come on~ come on~~"
"Courage bursts forth~~~"
....
'Lin Xuan is amazing.'
'Did he really create this song on the spot?!'
'A musical genius!'
'But why hadn't he shown this talent before...'
'With such talent, he shouldn't have lived as the "madman" everyone in the city avoided, right?'
'Could Lin Xuan be hiding some deeper secrets?'
....
For Lin Xuan to create such a perfect children's song in just a few minutes...
Su Qingge felt genuine admiration.
Before her coma, her admirers had been as numerous as fish in a river.
Among them were many talented young men, and even some self-proclaimed "music prodigies" from the entertainment industry.
But compared to Lin Xuan, a true musical genius...
They were like small fry in the face of greatness—completely outclassed.
At this moment.
Su Qingge became increasingly curious about this husband she had married for good fortune...
'Lin Xuan, what other secrets are you hiding?'
....
"Ok go, come on~ come on~~"
"Ok go, come on~ come on~~"
"Take bold steps forward~~"
....
....
"Ok go, come on~ come on~~"
"Ok go, come on~ come on~~"
"Don't hesitate any longer~~~"
"The sun is about to set~~~"
....
As the last note fell, the song reached its conclusion.
Under the willow tree, the lingering melody echoed.
While everyone was still immersed in the guitar's echoes...
Lin Xuan had already set down the instrument and quietly returned to sit by Su Qingge's side.
Looking at her wind-tousled hair, he reached out to straighten it and softly asked:
"Qingge, did you like the song? Happy Children's Day again!"
'I liked it, it was beautiful.'
'I wish you a Happy Children's Day too.'
Even though she knew Lin Xuan couldn't hear her.
Su Qingge still earnestly responded in her heart.
At this moment.
She truly wished she could wake up and sincerely say to Lin Xuan:
"Thank you."
These past two days had been the most relaxing and joyful since Su Qingge fell into a coma.
She was deeply grateful to Lin Xuan for bringing her all this.
Thinking back to the days when she was first diagnosed as a vegetative patient...
The despair, the pain, the constant yearning for death—that breakdown was still vividly etched in her memory.
Even Su Qingge herself couldn't believe it.
It had only been two days.
She had gradually stopped blaming the world and began to have hope and anticipation for the future.
And this transformation all started with Lin Xuan's arrival.
He would talk to her, bring her flowers, sing to her, and even massage her...
If it weren't for Lin Xuan, Su Qingge couldn't imagine how she might have twisted further into despair.
At that moment, Liu Juan and the others finally snapped out of the trance the song had put them in.
Clap, clap, clap!!!
Applause began to rise sporadically from all directions, continuous and unending.
Lin Xuan cupped his hands in thanks toward the Su family servants surrounding him.
Then he glanced at the blushing, vigorously clapping loli and smiled playfully:
"So, Miss Chen Kexin! Do you think I'll win this bet?"
"Um... yes!"
Chen Kexin tugged at her twin ponytails and nodded in acknowledgment.
Her straightforward admission of defeat made Lin Xuan give her another look.
"Don't look at me like that. I, Chen Kexin, can handle both victory and defeat. If I lose, I admit it."
"Even though it hasn't been uploaded yet, I can already predict this song will create a buzz among kids..."
"And don't get cocky. There's always someone better. There are countless people in the world who can create good music."
"For example, yesterday I came across a song that sounded like it came from the heavens. It's not worse than yours..."
Perhaps she didn't want Lin Xuan to get too full of himself.
Chen Kexin pulled out her phone, found the song she had come across yesterday afternoon, and hit play.
"Listen to this song! It just came out yesterday, and it already has over ten million plays on D Station today."
"It's going viral across the internet, with over a million shares, and it's topped all the major music charts."
"It even outshined popular tracks like Chicken You Are So Beautiful, Last-Minute Hugging, and Super Spicy."
"Listen to it. This song... At first, you don't understand its meaning, but on repeat, you become part of it."
"I personally think this song is better and has more depth than yours today. The creator must be a seasoned, extraordinarily talented genius..."
"...."
Chen Kexin continued to praise the song, describing it as:
'A song that belongs only in the heavens, rarely heard on earth.'
This piqued the curiosity of Lin Xuan and the others, making them eager to know how good the so-called masterpiece really was...
A melancholic BGM began to play from Chen Kexin's phone.
....
"People as excellent as me~~"
"Were meant to shine all their lives~~"
"But after over twenty years~~"
"Still adrift in the sea of people~~"
Hmm???
Why does this song... sound so familiar?!
When Lin Xuan heard the opening BGM, he froze for a moment.
Then his expression turned strange, caught between laughter and disbelief.
He hadn't expected...
That the song he had sung just yesterday, People Like Me, would cause such a sensation on the internet today.
"It seems my plan is working."
"As long as I make use of the gaps in this world's entertainment scene, I can quickly boost my social influence..."
On the other side.
Chen Kexin was still going on and on, praising People Like Me while subtly trying to diminish Courage Explosion.
'Someone, make this girl stop!'
'I feel embarrassed for you just listening!'
'Sigh~~'
'I can't take this. Someone please cover my ears...'
....
In the dark consciousness space.
Su Qingge didn't know how to feel anymore.
For the first time, she felt grateful to be a vegetative patient.
Otherwise, she might have dug out a three-bedroom apartment on the ground from sheer embarrassment...
For example, Liu Juan and the others standing nearby.
They were now visibly uncomfortable.
Faced with Chen Kexin's expression of admiration as she proudly rambled on.
They didn't know how to break the socially devastating truth to her...
"What's wrong? Why do you all have that expression? Don't you think this song is good?"
The loli finally noticed the strange atmosphere.
She scratched her head, looking adorably clueless.
Seeing this.
Lin Xuan grinned and revealed bluntly:
"Oh! It's a great song, no doubt! But this song was sung by me as well! Thank you for your appreciation."
Chen Kexin: "(⊙⊙)(òωó?) ???!!!"
