“I’ve never heard this song before, eh, it’s catchy, and both the melody and lyrics are good.”

“My boyfriend wrote it; it’s called ‘When the Wind Starts to Blow’.”

“Ah, Jiang Xu, you’re really amazing.”

Before all the teachers and students gathered, Jiang Xu played the recording from that day in the school’s singing room.

It began with An Nuonuo singing ‘When the Wind Starts to Blow’.

Then Chen Yaoyao entered the room and their conversation followed.

And then Jiang Xu’s recording of practicing the song ‘Youth’.

The whole thing, complete and uncut.

After listening to the recording, Chen Yaoyao’s face turned deathly pale.

She swayed, drained of all strength, looking like she might collapse at any moment.

Huang Xiaofei was more composed, not showing too much emotion.

But surely, he also wasn’t pleased inside.

Jiang Xu added, “If these proofs are still not enough, I have the original drafts of those two songs on hand.

We can take them to the appropriate institutions for date verification.

They insist these are their original creations, so let’s see the evidence.”

In truth, nobody was fooled.

From Chen Yaoyao’s reaction, it was clear who was telling the truth and who was lying.

“Bang!”

The judge sitting in the middle, who was also a senior member of the school’s administration, slammed the table.

Glaring at Huang Xiaofei and Chen Yaoyao, he demanded, “Do you have anything else to say?”

Huang Xiaofei sighed inwardly.

With the facts right in front of them, making excuses was futile.

He admitted his guilt on the spot and bowed deeply to the audience, “I was blinded by greed; I am willing to accept all of the school’s punishments.”

But Chen Yaoyao just collapsed on the stage, scared out of her wits.

Half an hour later, Jiang Xu’s advisor informed him of the outcome.

Huang Xiaofei received a major demerit, while Chen Yaoyao was expelled.

Needless to say, Huang Xiaofei must have pulled some strings.

And he gave Chen Yaoyao a large sum of money, making her take most of the blame for the incident.

Dragging her suitcase, Chen Yaoyao walked out of the school under the weight of strange looks all around.

To be honest, after being expelled, she didn’t feel as bad.

After all, the matter had been decided.

And Huang Xiaofei had given her a sum of money that an ordinary person wouldn’t earn in a lifetime.

Even if she was expelled, she would still live well in the future.

However, just as Chen Yaoyao stepped out of the school,

a man in a sharp suit and wearing glasses approached her.

“Hello, are you Miss Chen Yaoyao?”

“I am. Who are you?”

The man showed his ID: “My name is Zhang Kai, and I’m Mr. Jiang Xu’s lawyer.

Currently, I’m officially serving you with a lawsuit.”

With a ‘clang,’ Chen Yaoyao collapsed to the ground.

“Isn’t this a bit too cruel?”

Hearing that Jiang Xu wanted to sue Chen Yaoyao, An Nuonuo started to feel somewhat sympathetic.

Jiang Xu spoke indifferently, “You reap what you sow.

No matter what someone’s status is, if they’ve wronged me, I won’t forgive them easily!”

“Alright then,” An Nuonuo didn’t press further on the issue.

Changing the subject, she asked, “So for the finals, are we still singing?”

“Mm,” Jiang Xu nodded, “Let’s do a duet. This event is actually a precursor to selecting representatives for the city’s image.

Personal image is important, but I think having two people stand together, looking compatible, is even more important.”

With sparkling eyes, An Nuonuo asked, “Are you going to write a new song then?”

Jiang Xu put his arm around her shoulders and walked towards their dorm, “Of course, being ‘original’ scores extra points. This time, let’s sing… ‘The Brightest Star in the Night Sky’.”

He felt a silent apology for those future original songwriters.

The last time, truly the last time.

However, Jiang Xu wasn’t the heartless type.

He had already used his memory to have Liu Dahai contact those singers whose luck he had stolen.

When the time comes, those few songs will be authorized for their use without condition, and each person will receive a sum of money.

By a little after five in the afternoon, Jiang Xu had finished the lyrics.

The song wasn’t difficult to sing, and it was quite inspirational.

The higher-ups at the school would probably love it.

After all, in a harmonious society, positive energy is most important.

Jiang Xu stretched lazily.

An Nuonuo immediately came over and stood behind him, gently kneading his shoulders, “What would you like to eat? I’ll go get takeout for you.”

“Uh-huh, okay. Get me a large serving of snail noodle soup from the cafeteria, make it spicy.”

“Alright, just wait here for a bit, I’ll be right back.”

An Nuonuo kissed Jiang Xu on the face.

Then she picked up her little shoulder bag and left.

All to ensure that her dearest boyfriend wouldn’t go hungry.

After An Nuonuo went downstairs, she jogged off to the cafeteria.

On the way to buy food for the person she liked, even the air tasted sweet.

An Nuonuo quickly packed up two servings of breakfast.

Then she couldn’t wait to get back to the dorm to enjoy them with Jiang Xu.

She really liked the scenes of eating alone with Jiang Xu.

I feed you a bite, you feed me a bite, it couldn’t get any sweeter.

“Excuse me, junior sister, could you do me a favor?”

Approaching the flowerbed, a senior sister stopped her.

She said apologetically, “My shoelace has come undone, can you hold this for me while I tie it back up?”

An Nuonuo smiled sweetly, “Sure.”

She reached out her empty hand and took a bag from the senior sister.

But the next second, the senior sister took out a spray bottle and pressed it right against An Nuonuo’s nose, pressing down hard!

The liquid from the bottle sprayed onto An Nuonuo’s face.

Within a second, her vision went dark, and her body flopped down limply.

The woman quickly caught An Nuonuo.

She looked around quickly.

No one nearby had noticed this scene.

She threw the things in her hand to the ground and, wrapping her arm around An Nuonuo’s waist, was about to leave.

“Bang!”

However, the moment the woman turned around, she was punched in the face.

She saw stars and couldn’t keep her balance.

Yang Qi took the opportunity to snatch An Nuonuo back.

Looking at the unconscious An Nuonuo, she said in her literary tone, “This servant is late to rescue, please forgive me, Your Highness!”

An Nuonuo:…

The woman tried to run but Yang Qi kicked her in the abdomen, leaving her unable to get up for a long time.

Having received the message, Jiang Xu arrived as quickly as possible.

He took An Nuonuo from Yang Qi and said, “Keep this woman under control, go to the school authorities, and get the surveillance footage.

Also, call the police right now!”

Yang Qi looked solemn, “Okay, I understand.”

Jiang Xu placed An Nuonuo in the back of the car, not caring about traffic rules, he ran through several red lights in a row.

He got her to the hospital in the shortest possible time.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before An Nuonuo woke up.

After examination by the doctor, the spray was just a simple sedative, harmless to the body.

Only then did Jiang Xu feel relieved.

“What happened to me?” An Nuonuo was still quite confused.

Jiang Xu managed a slight smile, “Nothing, rest here for a bit, I’m going to step out and make a call.”

Stepping outside the ward, Jiang Xu’s face instantly darkened.

He made a call to Jiang Xiaoyan, “Do me a favor!”
