Chapter 568: Chapter 139: Bookstore—Chi Linyue and Shang Wanjun’s First Meeting (Part 2)

The prelude composed by Xu Lin has a grand and majestic style, requiring instruments like drums and bells.

So having a classical orchestra would be even better.

Right now, only a guqin can be used.

Xu Lin didn’t make a prelude, tonight is just a middle interlude.

Using the guqin, the style is relatively murderous.

Xu Lin worked from around one in the morning to a bit past six in the morning.

The day had already dawned.

Finally, Xu Lin completed the composition for this piece.

It’s called "Crisis Lurking".

The length is only a little over three minutes, and besides the murderous style Xu Lin initially considered, the final product also gives you goosebumps, makes it hard to sit still, with a bit of horror and thrill, as if someone is watching you from the shadows.

Otherwise, why is it called "Crisis Lurking"? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Xu Lin played the piece on the guqin several times, recorded a video the last time, and then posted it on his Douyin account.

He has nearly 30 million fans on Douyin now, but Xu Lin hasn’t uploaded any videos this year, leading many people to think he had abandoned his account.

Now in April, Xu Lin has finally uploaded his first video of the year.

The title is "Crisis Lurking", labeled as an impromptu composition.

And Xu Lin also informed on Xiaohongshu, saying it was a spur-of-the-moment composition.

He didn’t mention it’s for the new series "Dajing Dynasty".

Because when it goes viral, everything will happen naturally, so there’s no need to explain specifically.

After finishing this, Xu Lin simply went to sleep.

Including listening to songs for more than seven hours before, Xu Lin had worked for over twelve hours.

So Xu Lin fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, and didn’t wake up until two in the afternoon.

When Xu Lin woke up, he saw a message from his elder sister.

It was sent an hour ago.

It turns out Xu Lin’s novel was released today, and the elder sister, taking advantage of not working on Sunday, wanted to buy a copy and asked Xu Lin if he would go.

"Just woke up."

Xu Lin replied.

"Are you fully awake now?"

"In the process of waking up."

"Hurry up and get up."

Chi Linyue sent a photo to Xu Lin, showing a bookstore with a long queue outside, and quite a few people ahead.

"So many people? Is the bookstore giving out eggs today?"

Xu Lin was curious.

"What eggs? They’re all here to buy your book, great writer!"

"Oh, is it that exaggerated?"

"Are you up?"

"I’ll leave in ten minutes."

"I have a car, you can take a taxi over."

"Ok."

Nine minutes later, Xu Lin took a taxi over.

Soon, Xu Lin arrived at the bookstore where the event was being held.

The queue was still quite long, with two rows stretching outside the bookstore, roughly estimated to be one or two hundred people, mostly young.

Xu Lin spotted his conspicuous elder sister in the queue, with only five people ahead of her.

And surprisingly, next in line in the elder sister’s queue was Shang Wanjun.

No wonder Xu Lin found her silhouette so familiar.

The elder sister was wearing long sleeves and jeans with a slightly flared style, and sneakers that looked unassuming but were actually from a niche brand. Her outfit seemed plain, but her natural beauty couldn’t be overlooked.

Shang Wanjun, as always, wore a long dress and high heels, maintaining her usual style.

Many people were intentionally or unintentionally looking at the two of them, male or female.

Great beauties, everyone likes to look.

"After I buy the book, let’s go for a meal later."

Chi Linyue said when she saw Xu Lin arrive.

"Sure."

"Why suddenly queue to buy the book? Can’t you just order online?"

"Online shopping is convenient, but I like the feeling of shopping in physical stores."

The elder sister crossed her arms, making her already large chest even more prominent, making Xu Lin want to bury his head in it.

"Great writer, sign my book later."

"I’ll oblige you."

"Hmph!"

The elder sister was a bit smug.

On the other side, it was Shang Wanjun’s turn to buy the book, and she quickly got it done.

As she turned around, she saw Xu Lin.

She was quite surprised too.

But she also noticed Chi Linyue next to Xu Lin.

"Hello, teacher."

"Hmm."

Shang Wanjun nodded, looking calm.

Chi Linyue noticed Xu Lin knew this woman.

She carefully observed Shang Wanjun, finding her quite beautiful and with a unique temperament.

For a moment, Chi Linyue became vigilant.

Wait?

Teacher?

"How about helping me write something in the book?"

Shang Wanjun approached, taking a pen out of her bag.

"Sure, what do you want me to write?"

"You decide, you understand me."

You understand me?

?

Chi Linyue stared at Shang Wanjun, but Shang Wanjun ignored her.

Shang Wanjun’s world is self-entertaining, inward-focused and non-expressive, commonly known as disregarding outside influences; she wouldn’t pay attention to strangers, interacting with students and faculty at school is just work necessity, and outside, she pays no one any attention.

"Let me think."

Xu Lin didn’t think much, just took her book and pen, thought for a moment, and suddenly inspired, opened the first page of the book, and wrote the second half of a Song Dynasty poem "West River Moon, Daily Cups of Wine Full" by Zhu Dunru:

"How many spring dreams in the annals, how many talents in the underworld. There’s no need to calculate and arrange, just embrace the present moment."

This part of the poem roughly means to have a carefree attitude towards life, facing any wind from north, south, east or west.

Shang Wanjun read it, and her calm face couldn’t help showing a smile, as she smiled wryly.

Xu Lin understands her the most.

Shang Wanjun, someone who entertains herself, just likes this kind of attitude, and only Xu Lin can follow her train of thought.

"Thank you, I’ll be off now."
