The thought of Sister Ling's terrifying driving skills sent shivers down Su Yu's spine, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
"System Miss, if I were to take a driving test, would I pass the physical examination?" Su Yu softly called out to the System in his mind, his voice tinged with both anticipation and apprehension.
"Stop daydreaming! Your condition hasn't improved; you're just temporarily not dying. So, you should just accept reality!"
System Miss's gloating reply echoed in Su Yu's mind; she seemed particularly amused by seeing him in a predicament.
"System Miss, you're so powerful, can't you just cure my illness all at once?" Su Yu pressed on, unwilling to give up.
"I can! But what would happen if a terminally ill patient who was about to die suddenly recovered all at once? Do you want to know about being sliced up for research? But what if your condition improved a little every few months? You're a top student; can't you understand such a simple principle?"
System Miss seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today, as she patiently answered Su Yu's question.
"Understood! Thanks, System Miss!" Su Yu felt it was necessary to ease the tension between himself and System Miss, speaking with utmost politeness.
Afterward, Su Yu quickly changed his clothes and strode out of the Yan Music campus with determined steps.
What needed to be faced would eventually be faced; Sister Ling, that formidable veteran driver, was someone he couldn't avoid for the time being.
However, when Su Yu arrived outside the school gate and saw Han Jiangxue and Sister Ling, he was surprised to find that they had changed cars this time.
Before him was a jet-black nanny van. Well, this was indeed standard for celebrities.
What made Su Yu most delighted was that the person in the driver's seat today was not Sister Ling, but a burly man in a suit! This should be the bodyguard Tianxing Entertainment arranged for Han Jiangxue, right?
When Su Yu opened the car door and got in, he found that besides Han Jiangxue and Sister Ling, there was also a cute girl with a bun hairstyle.
At this moment, the little girl was looking at him with great curiosity, her eyes full of scrutiny and inquisitiveness.
"Sun Xiaoxiao, my assistant." Han Jiangxue's lips curved slightly upward as she smiled and introduced her to Su Yu.
In fact, Han Jiangxue had been secretly observing Su Yu's complexion and mental state; she desperately wanted to know if what Su Yu told her yesterday was true.
However, after seeing Su Yu, whose complexion and walking posture were much more normal, she truly felt relieved.
"Assistant Sun, I'm Su Yu!" Su Yu smiled and waved, as a greeting.
As for shaking hands, he felt it was unnecessary; it would only make the young girl feel like he was taking advantage.
"I know, I know! Su Yu, I love your "the wind rises" so much! Is the new song you wrote for Sister Jiangxue as good as "the wind rises"?"
Sun Xiaoxiao was clearly a very lively and cheerful person; sure enough, as soon as Su Yu sat down, her questions came like a barrage.
"The quality should be similar, but this new song is a bit... never mind, you'll know in a bit." Su Yu didn't think of the right words for a moment, so he didn't elaborate.
Last time, he accidentally blurted out a complaint about Han Jiangxue's singing skills, which made Han Jiangxue practice desperately for several days, leaving her no time to bother with him; this time, he had learned his lesson.
Sun Xiaoxiao pouted, not pressing further.
The car sped along the highway and soon arrived at the Tianxing Entertainment parking lot.
Everyone familiar with the place went directly to the Music Department.
This time, there was no exciting show of Li Dayue furiously scolding the lyricists and composers.
Because as soon as Su Yu entered the Music Department, he felt the air pressure there was very, very low!
Everyone who saw him had a dark expression, as if he, Su Yu, had done something to offend them.
"When we recorded yesterday, Li Dayue's new song lost to yours. Now, everyone in the Music Department is really putting in effort, wanting to write better songs to defeat you." Sister Ling held back her laughter and quietly explained.
At this moment, in the familiar Studio One, Li Dayue was already waiting.
However, his self-restraint was indeed good; upon seeing Su Yu enter, he even shook hands with Su Yu very warmly.
Only his two dark circles under his eyes and his somewhat listless appearance betrayed his inner world at that moment.
"Senior, this is a song I wrote before that I had in stock. Take a look first." Su Yu handed the USB drive containing "torment" to Han Jiangxue, choosing not to say anything extra.
Sister Ling, Li Dayue, and Sun Xiaoxiao also crowded over directly, eager to get a first look.
However, when they saw the lyrics this time, they felt Su Yu's style had changed again; this was clearly a bitter love song.
However, when Han Jiangxue and Li Dayue saw the musical score, they were even more surprised.
Because the notes in this song were too high! Some notes were even so high that they felt their scalps tingle!
Are these notes that a human can sing? Perhaps Han Zhuoma on "The King of Singers" stage could do it, but Han Jiangxue?
"This song is a bit high! How about we lower the key?" Li Dayue blurted out.
Hearing this, Su Yu smiled. Dayue, I was just waiting for you to say that!
"If we lower the key, the emotional explosion this song aims to convey will be greatly weakened, perhaps even becoming mediocre! I want to try it first!"
Han Jiangxue was indeed someone who refused to admit defeat; Su Yu could even see a blazing fighting spirit in her beautiful eyes at that moment!
"I think Senior can do it too! Senior's vocal range can meet the requirements of this song." Su Yu gave Han Jiangxue firm support.
This scene made Li Dayue's nose almost twist out of shape!
He finally understood; Su Yu didn't say anything at first, just waiting for him to be the bad guy, right?
So young, yet so cunning!
This time, no one mentioned signing the contract first; instead, they quietly listened to Han Jiangxue attempting to sing the song in the recording studio.
During the first high note, Han Jiangxue's voice cracked directly; the scene was truly a bit unbearable.
The second time was much better, but it still sounded a bit discordant.
At this moment, Su Yu stopped Han Jiangxue, who was about to continue trying: "Senior, my heart is beating ~ love begins to torment ~ every minute, every second ~ you need to vocalize like this!"
To everyone's astonishment, Su Yu actually demonstrated it to Han Jiangxue on the spot.
Although Su Yu sang it several keys lower, the feeling was much more comfortable and natural than when Han Jiangxue sang it.
Han Jiangxue's third attempt directly used Su Yu's method, and sure enough, the effect improved immediately.
"Senior, three practice runs are enough. This song puts a lot of strain on your throat. Don't hurt yourself; we still need to record next week."
Su Yu began to care about Han Jiangxue again.
