Chapter 313: Chapter 313 Let’s Drive. Oh No, Let’s Eat 1

The next morning, Jiang Xu started writing lyrics.
One song called “It’s Windy” for An Nuonuo to sing.
One song called “Youth” which Jiang Xu will sing himself.
Thinking it over, he added one more song, “When Farewell Blooms” and “Speak to Him” as backups, just in case any issues arise.
After finishing, Jiang Xu sang through them a few times.
Some parts were different from the original versions, and he could only rely on his memory to make some changes.
It wasn’t possible to replicate them 100%, but getting 80 to 90% close was enough.
By the time he had finished, An Nuonuo had prepared a lavish breakfast.
Seeing the spread, Jiang Xu was immediately taken aback, “It’s so early in the morning, do we need such nourishing food?”
Ginseng with black chicken soup, jujube and goji berry cakes, as well as sea cucumber sashimi, among others.
An Nuonuo blinked and said, “I’m afraid you might get worn out…”
After all, since the two had been together, Jiang Xu often ‘worked overtime’.
Once or twice was okay, but with the increasing frequency, An Nuonuo worried that Jiang Xu wouldn’t be able to hold up.
Jiang Xu immediately felt underestimated.
He rolled up his sleeves… then started the car, oh no, started eating.
After eating, the two headed to school.
The school had a singing practice room with quite complete equipment.
When they arrived at the school, as it happened, there was just one room left unreserved.
After securing the room, they let An Nuonuo sing first.
Jiang Xu listened by her side, offering corrections where necessary.
It couldn’t compare with a professional singer, of course.
But An Nuonuo had a good voice and a sweet appearance to offset that deficiency.
Of course, the song could play a significant role as well.
This song was yet to be released, so it counted as ‘original’.
This aspect was a bonus.
Jiang Xu believed that even if the song’s release was premature, given its previous life’s success, there shouldn’t be a problem.
After several practice runs, An Nuonuo had still not reached the passing mark. So Jiang Xu took out a high-quality recorder he had prepared and placed it aside.
To record her voice and let her listen at her own pace, to find the parts where she was off.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Just after An Nuonuo finished a run-through, there was a knock at the door.
She went to open it.
Outside stood a sweet-looking girl about 1.58 meters tall, a typical Southern belle.
Well, she also has another nickname: Southern little potato.
“Yaoyao sister, what are you doing here?”
Jiang Xu also walked to the door and greeted with a smile, “Hello, Yaoyao sister.”
She was a sophomore this year.
She was someone An Nuonuo had met in the reading hall.
A gem on campus and also very gentle, she had gotten along with An Nuonuo quite well after several interactions.
Jiang Xu also had a good impression of her.
Yaoyao smiled bashfully, “I signed up for this event too, my performance is singing.
Today I left home late and didn’t get a room, Nuonuo, can 1 share the room with you two?”
“Of course, you can!” An Nuonuo agreed immediately without hesitation.
Jiang Xu had no objections either.
Yaoyao joined her hands in gratitude, “Thank you so much!”
An idea struck Jiang Xu, “Yaoyao sister, didn’t you say last time that both your parents studied music?
In that case, could you please give Nuonuo some advice?”
“Sure, no problem,” Yaoyao agreed right away.
So An Nuonuo sang the song again.
After listening, Yaoyao was a bit surprised, “I’ve never heard this song before,
it s catchy, and both the melody and lyrics are good.”
An Nuonuo said with pride, “My boyfriend wrote it, it’s called ’It’s Windy’.” “Wow, Jiang Xu, you’re really talented,” Yaoyao looked at Jiang Xu with astonishment.
A hint of envy flickered in the depths of her eyes.
I’m so envious that An Nuonuo found such an excellent boyfriend.
With Yaoyao’s addition, An Nuonuo improved very quickly.
After practicing a few more times, she was basically qualified.
The recording pen was no longer needed, so Jiang Xu put it away.
Evening came quickly.
Jiang Xu originally wanted to treat Yaoyao to a meal to show his gratitude.
However, she said she needed to practice and declined.
The audition was set for three days later, which was next Wednesday.
In the past few days, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo had been practicing at home, supervising each other and scoring each other’s performances.
They had also practiced the backup songs many times.
Time quickly moved on to Wednesday.
The audition began.
The venue was set up on the open space in front of the school’s auditorium.
Many of the school’s leaders were there, serving as judges.
The majority of students were present as well.
Many of them treated it like a show.
Looking around, the place was packed with heads of people everywhere.
Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo, and the other contestants were all waiting backstage, enclosed by curtains.
“Nuonuo, I’m so nervous,” Yaoyao came over and grabbed her hand.
An Nuonuo gently comforted her, “Sister Yaoyao, you’re so talented, you’re definitely going to advance.”
“I hope so.”
There were still many people participating in this event.
The other two roommates from An Nuonuo’s dormitory, Xia Xiaozhan and Wu Mengmeng, had also entered the competition.
But they weren’t aiming for the school spokesperson role.
In their words,
they just wanted to get on stage to showcase themselves in front of everyone.
Perhaps a tall, rich, and handsome guy would take notice of them.
Indeed, many people shared this mindset.
Otherwise, knowing there were only two spots, there wouldn’t be so many participants.
Soon, a teacher came over with a big box.
He shouted, “All contestants come and draw lots, and go on stage in the order you draw.”
Everyone crowded around to draw.
Jiang Xu drew the last spot, while An Nuonuo drew number 168.
“Ah, I drew number 6,” Yaoyao wailed.
Generally speaking, the later the position, the better.
For instance, the final spot Jiang Xu drew was the best.
Xia Xiaozhan and Wu Mengmeng drew the first and second spots.
Rather than worrying, they were happy and secretly hiked up their skirts a bit…
An Nuonuo was quietly comforting Yaoyao.
The hosts in charge of the event were senior students, a junior and a senior.
After delivering an impassioned opening speech, the competition officially started.
Xia Xiaozhan was the first to perform and presented a hot dance.
It elicited howls from the boys below the stage.
Then it was Wu Mengmeng’s turn with a dance and song performance.
Before leaving the stage, she announced she was single and that interested guys could contact her.
The scene was filled with wolf whistles.
Watching this from backstage, Jiang Xu thought, you really live up to the name.
The competitors took turns on stage.
So far, Jiang Xu hadn’t felt pressured by any of the performances.
Soon, it was Yaoyao’s turn.
With the encouraging gaze of An Nuonuo, Yaoyao took a deep breath and slowly walked onto the stage.
She bowed deeply to the audience, “Hello everyone, I’m Chen Yaoyao from the sophomore management department.
Today, the performance I bring to you is one of my original songs – “It’s Windy”!”
