The song from the previous night was made up on a whim. That was not all that he felt at that moment. At his level, just a random spark of inspiration would be sufficient for him to create a lot of content.

“Blooming flowers of Spring, winds of Autumn, and sunsets of Winter.

“The depressed teenager that I was thought so ignorantly.

“The windmill spins every day in its own melodic cycle of seasons.

“I grew along with the poems of fluttering flowers and snow.

“The story of time carried along a flowing stream changes a person.

“During our sentimental youth where we waited.

“…”

To others, that may have been a difficult task, yet it was nothing for Ye Lingchen. He was on a whole other level.

The recording was complete. Song titled Story of Time. Upload!

The song immediately hit the top spot. With its sudden appearance, the originally heated debates turned silent momentarily.

Everyone rubbed their eyes at the same time, trying to see clearly. ‘F*ck! Singer Y is really releasing a new song!’

[OMG, stop talking to me. I’m going to listen to music!]

[Is that necessary? Releasing a new song just because of a disagreement? You should at least give me some time to prepare for it!]

[Story of Time. Needless to say, it’s related to youth. Get the tissues ready, I’m about to cry.]

[It’s so good! It’s so f*cking good! Ahhh, it’s even better than the last one. Damn it, I can’t hold back anymore. I was secretly listening to it at work and I cried audibly!]

[Previous post, do you need to be so dramatic? It’s only uploaded for five minutes.]

[It’s true. I’m crying as well. This song is even more impactful. I’m a guy and I’m crying buckets.]

…

Compared to My Deskmate, Story of Time was more downcast and emotional. Not only was it describing the times as a student, but it was also more focused on change.

As per the lyrics, ‘The story of time carried along a flowing stream changes a person.’ It was very relatable for those that were stepping into society.

Due to the popularity of the previous song, this song triggered an even greater reaction, immediately going viral.

However, just as everyone finished listening to Story of Time, Singer Y’s Weibo status was renewed once more!

Days in Beijing’s East Road.

Another song?!

Annnnoooother new song!

Everyone was shaking in excitement.

[At the very beginning, we were all children.

In the end, we long to become angels.

In the ballads, the fairy tale hides.

Where should the children soar?

…]

Unlike the two previous songs, this song had taken an uplifting mood, seemingly a tale for the children.

Right at the opening, everyone was helplessly drawn in as their emotions flowed with the melody.

Masterpiece. Definitely another masterpiece!

[One day, when we step foot into this campus, which leaf would it be that that falls into the fleeting years of memory?

The distance from the first to the fourth floor was only three years.

The gatekeeper uncle and canteen auntie look like a couple.

Unable to understand the seasons and currents, yet there are new horizons to see.

All the popular posters and photos were only sold for a few dollars and cents.

We put on a suit to act like we’ve grown, with our habitual smile on the film rolls.

…]

Without them thinking, the scenes from the lyrics were presented clearly in everyone’s mind. The edges of their mouth curled into a grin, as though reliving those carefree days once more. However, although they were smiling, tears rolled free.

[Sob sob sob, Singer Y, why are you making us cry?]

[Damn it, you’ve been hiding for all these while. Now that you make an appearance, you’re making me cry like this. Don’t think that you can do as you like just because I’m your fan.]

[Three masterpieces just like that! Singer Y is truly talented!]

[Singer Y is definitely a student at Capital University. How else could he write a song that fits the scene so closely?]

[He’s a top student at Capital University. No wonder he’s so talented. Big brother, can we go on a date…]

[Big brother, do you need someone to bear your child?]

…

[Let’s call it a day. I wrote it based on my feelings and I’m too lazy to compose more. You can listen to these songs for free. Don’t need to bother about the copyrights. It only matters that you guys like it.]

Just as everyone was discussing excitedly, Ye Lingchen left a simple comment under his Weibo post and went offline. Everyone was caught off guard. The thread was later flooded by the same word—Wilful!

Having received Ye Lingchen’s permission, the music platforms were like cats catching onto the scent of fish. They quickly placed all three songs on their platform. Immediately after uploading, the three songs bulldozed their way through as they topped the list of all major music platforms!

All the listeners were extremely satisfied with finally having some good music to enjoy during their free time.

With such a trend during the graduation season, all sorts of interpretations of the songs appeared. A lot of people appreciated the songs and started publishing reviews after listening to it. Most importantly, it turned viral.

[First of all, it can’t be denied that Singer Y is a musical genius. All three songs were depictions of graduation, but they were from different perspectives, giving the listeners a different experience.

The first song depicts the naive romance in school, also known to be the purest. The second song is about change. After parting ways with our youth, we continue to mature, but can we recover the feelings of old? The third song is about the life of a student. Everything is presented so vividly, as though it were only yesterday.

Honestly, I’ve played all three songs on loop for over a hundred times. My eyes are puffy from crying, yet I’m sincerely grateful to Singer Y for allowing me to once again experience my fondest memories…]

[Finally, someone that knows music. My thoughts exactly.]

[Good interpretation. I feel the same!]

[Be it the tune, lyrics, or performance, all three songs are perfect. Truly magnificent.]

[Product of Singer Y is naturally of top quality!]

With the influence of the three songs, that day itself, Ye Lingchen’s popularity points increased by another 600 over thousand!

His total popularity points went beyond 15 million, to a total of 15,689,538!

‘Since I have time…should I try my luck?’

Ye Lingchen laid on his bed, rubbing his hand as he felt the urge well up from within. Just as he got ready for the lucky draw, his phone rang.

The caller ID was quite something. The number started with seven zeroes and ended with a nine.

“Hello, is this Singer Y?”

“Mm,” Ye Lingchen answered softly.

His number was not kept secret. Some well-known music platforms and directors of TV stations knew about it. However, those that had his number were no simple folks.

“I’m the director of this year’s Spring Festival Gala, Feng Xiaofeng. I would like to invite you to perform a song on the stage. Do you think that’s possible?”

“Perform at the Spring Festival Gala?” Ye Lingchen’s brows twitched, finding it funny.

He was just invited by someone from the Spring Festival Gala the previous day to be a guest, yet the director personally made a call to invite him as the performer the very next day. Most importantly, the invitations were sent to two of his separate identities. That was rather…interesting.

“Mm,” Feng Xiaofeng thought for a moment, then asked carefully, “As this is rather special, on the night of the Spring Festival Gala…you might be required to show your face…”
