Chapter 622: Chapter 156: In Youth, Spring Garments Were Thin—Riding by the Slanting Bridge, Red Sleeves Beckoned from Every Floor

Pei Danqing’s beautiful eyes sparkled; Xu Lin’s excellence truly exceeded her expectations.

Xu Lin took a break in the afternoon.

The next day, Xu Lin returned here and played all five songs on the guqin, allowing Pei Danqing and the others to record them.

There were two versions of the recording, one pure audio and one that captured Xu Lin’s playing technique, essentially a tutorial.

This was just the guqin version; there could actually be other versions. However, the sheet music is there, and if you have the ability, you can interpret it freely.

The show has just started filming and will be broadcast in the middle of next month, with the music already prepared in advance.

For things like the opening theme, it requires multiple instrument arrangements, and this is not Xu Lin’s concern. Because when the time comes, a whole band needs to cooperate, just like a music performance in an opera house, with many people playing various instruments together. This requires a lot of training, and Xu Lin doesn’t have the time.

Whether it’s Wu Zongting or someone else who will do it, Xu Lin is unsure. But ultimately he’ll just provide remote guidance.

Now, Xu Lin has recorded the guqin version of the five scores, demonstrating great sincerity.

With the video available, you can learn at your own pace by slowing down the footage.

On the 12th, the day ended like this.

By this time, Xu Lin’s composition work was already completed.

On the 13th, Xu Lin was responsible for guiding a few people working on the music composition, but mostly he was idle, spending half the day playing on his phone.

On the 14th, Xu Lin had nothing to do at all.

As it was Saturday, Pei Danqing was also off work and decided to accompany Xu Lin to see around the Capital City.

There are so many spots to visit in the Capital City, you couldn’t cover them all in a few days, let alone just one.

Xu Lin was set to leave the next day.

It felt a bit rushed.

The day after tomorrow, the 16th, is Chi Linyue’s birthday; Xu Lin hadn’t forgotten.

He’s someone who takes promises seriously and has to prepare early to go back.

In the morning, after stepping out, the two went straight to the Forbidden City.

Xu Lin had previously visited the Forbidden City with Ms. Ren.

However, when he was younger, he was carefree and spirited, so he wouldn’t have been nostalgic about revisiting old places or the passage of time.

After wandering around the Forbidden City, Xu Lin was looking everywhere.

Then the two arrived at Tiananmen Square.

In the afternoon, the last stop Xu Lin reached was Beihai Park.

Around three in the afternoon, Xu Lin and the group prepared for the return trip.

"There’s a party tonight, do you want to go?"

Pei Danqing issued the invitation, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"What kind of party?"

"A rather fancy party hosted by my friend, do you want to go?"

"Will there be beauties?"

Xu Lin joked.

"Plenty!"

Pei Danqing looked at him and casually played along with his joke.

"Will there be anyone as pretty as you, or almost?"

"That might be quite difficult."

Pei Danqing has always been confident in her looks, naturally beautiful and as radiant as a national treasure; that describes her.

Today, Pei Danqing was also very beautiful.

Her long hair flowed, dancing in the wind, she wore a long dress, with exquisite high heels underfoot, her makeup elegant.

Anyone who saw her would find her stunning, regardless of gender.

Xu Lin asked, "Will there be food?"

Pei Danqing replied, "Yes."

Finally, Pei Danqing added, "I’ll introduce you to some people so that those in the Capital City know of your youthful charisma!"

"Then I might as well go!"

That night, Xu Lin was dressed elegantly in a suit.

Alongside the equally dressed to impress, already beautiful Pei Danqing, they reached the venue.

This party was quite high-end; all the men were formally dressed, with only the color of their suits differing, while the women wore various dresses.

Clearly, these people weren’t ordinary.

Just from the confidence they exuded, you could tell they weren’t people earning only a few thousand a month.

"Dandan, who is this?"

"Oh wow, so handsome! Which family does this charming young man belong to?"

"Dandan, quick, tell us, what’s your relationship with him?"

"Who’s this unfamiliar face? What’s your name?"

Pei Danqing’s female friends approached, all in their twenties, with quite remarkable temperaments. Even if some weren’t aesthetically pleasing, their inherent confidence suggested an extraordinary background.

Of course, Pei Danqing was the most dazzling among them all, as Xu Lin glanced around the ballroom, Pei Danqing clearly stood out.

Everyone was curiously eyeing Xu Lin, eager to know who he was or what relationship he had with Pei Danqing.

"My last name is Xu, and my given name is Lin, handsome as the jade trees in the wind."

Xu Lin introduced himself, a faint smile on his face.

Pei Danqing smiled, not shy in praising Xu Lin: "He’s a talented young man, maybe one day he’ll be famous throughout the Capital City!"

"Oh? Why do you say talented?"

The group was curious.

The party was held on the large lawn outside a villa, gathering many people here.

Actually, many people’s attention was on Xu Lin.

To them, he was a stranger. In high society, the circles are quite small, even if you’re not familiar with everyone, you generally know them. But with Xu Lin here now, everyone found him quite unknown, not seen before, unfamiliar, but no one dared underestimate him.

How did he appear to everyone?

With sharp brows and phoenix eyes, exceedingly handsome, his aura like a tightly coiled dragon ready to soar at any moment.

Especially among the young women here, many single ones were captivated by Xu Lin, their beautiful eyes shining with curiosity about this mysterious noble young man, whispering among themselves.

The scene resembled the verse from Wei Zhuang’s "Bodhisattva Barbarian":

Back then, youthful and wearing light clothes, riding past the tilted bridge, the towers full of waving red sleeves.

Back then, I was young, handsome and dashing, riding my steed past, with beauties everywhere turning their heads for me.

What vigor and spirit?

At eighteen or nineteen, Xu Lin was exactly like this at the moment.
