42 Interesting Morning? (2/2)

”Mhmm~”

Qiu Yue knew that already. It was just that when she saw him flustered he was so cute. His face remained impassive but you could see his emotions through his eyes. It was actually not that strong of an emotion, just flickers of it really, but she could still see it.

It's just that it also reminded her of Huo Zi Feng and the way he'd opened up to her, letting his guard down around her.

Qiao Feng was surprised to see Qiu Yue smile but then he didn't know what she was thinking about. Her smile dimmed and she let out a sigh.

”If we're doing this then I need to show you something.”

Qiu Yue motioned for him to follow her and they both drove back to her apartment. Once they arrived, Qiu Yue finally opened the door to her bedroom and what Qiao Feng saw filled him with awe.

At first he couldn't understand why Qiu Yue led him here but stepping inside the room, he found it unbelievable. He had grown up around music, acting, art and emotion and in here so much talent had converged all of them, transforming them into inked words on paper.

”It's very messy. I know. We need to put them in order before we decide which songs to use. Although I have a few songs in mind already.”

Qiu Yue spoke casually as though all those pages and pages of lyrics were just common sheets. Actually for her it wasn't as amazing as Qiao Feng had felt. After all they weren't her songs. They weren't her lyrics. She was essentially copying songs she'd heard in her life in both of the worlds she had experienced before this one.

But that didn't stop him from being amazed, to Qiao Feng this was incredible. Seeing the cause of his amazement behave so nonchalantly, Qiao Feng couldn't appear so excited anymore. He quietly swallowed his questions and hummed in agreement, gathering all the sheets and then started to organize them by their genres.

Unusually one song caught his attention way more than the others and he couldn't help but pause. Even he didn't know why but he felt an urge to try singing it.

”Hmm? Do you like that one?”

Qiu Yue peeked from behind the tall tower that was Qiao Feng to see him intently holding onto a particular sheet.

”Take it if you like it!”

Qiu Yue gave him a quick smile before going back to her work.

”I have enough and more here so if you see anything you especially like you should take them.”

That's the least I can do. Regardless of whether Xiang Qiu Yue had been at fault she had taken up months of Qiao Feng's career. Now that Qiu Yue was in her place she felt like she had to pay him back or compensate him.

The biggest reason she didn't mind giving them to him was simply because they weren't hers to begin with.

Things that were hers, she would never share with just anyone.

In the end the two spent the whole day sorting the songs, Qiao Feng then went through them one by one to actually understand them and her idea of how they would be. She would then sing a few lines of each songs, more if required and they'd move to the next. In the end he ended up taking one more song from Qiu Yue before he left.

Starting from that day Qiu Yue started to go to the agency daily like Xiang Qiu Yue had before. She would practice everyday until late.

While her singing was undoubtedly great, she still had to practice to remain that way. Her dancing on the other hand... it wasn't bad? But it wasn't that good so she had to work hard on that. It didn't help that while Qiu Yue wasn't bad at it, sadly she wasn't good at it either.

So practice it was.
