Chapter 328 Ten Fine Songs

“Right! Let’s listen to them first! There are really ten folders inside.” Zhou Fei nodded repeatedly.

“Play them with the computer on my desk,” Zi Yan said.

There was a nicely configured sound on her desk, while Zhou Fei’s computer was only equipped with a headset.

“Okay.”

Zi Yan went back to sit down, while Zhou Fei moved her chair over, sitting next to Zi Yan and logging in to the mailbox with the computer.

She clicked into the first folder with three files named accompaniment, tuning piano piece and lyrics.

Zi Yan opened the file named lyrics to have a look. Seeing a variety of detailed notes above the lyrics, the symbols of natural voice and falsetto, as well as timber, Zi Yan could not help blinking her eyes.

“Perhaps it is Hanyang who sent the mail!”

With such detailed explanations and some professional terms, the mail did not seem to be a fan’s joke.

“So… Are these really songs from Hanyang?”

Zi Yan felt a little nervous and excited at the thought of it. When she was about to play the accompaniment.

“Wait, wait!” Zhou Fei interrupted in a hurry.

“What’s wrong?” Zi Yan asked curiously.

“I’m going to lock the door!” Zhou Fei got up and ran to the door. She, like a thief, opened the door and looked around, then she slammed the door, locked it, and ran back to sit down.

“You don’t have to be so serious,” Zi Yan said, feeling somewhat funny.

“Ha, ha, ha, I’m too excited! Let’s listen to the song now!” Zhou Fei said with a smile.

“Well, I just read the lyrics. It’s really great.” Zi Yan kind of believed that it was a song written by Hanyang.

When she put on the accompaniment, she was a little nervous and excited.

As the accompaniment began to play, a melodious music rang out from the high-quality sound, which made Zi Yan’s and Zhou Fei’s eyes become brighter and brighter.

The beginning of the accompaniment, the soothing part, the part with great enthusiasm and the stable part were all well-organized and methodical.

After finishing listening to the song, Zhou Fei froze. Her voice trembled as she went on,

“It is likely to be a song written by Hanyang! It gives me the creeps. Elder Sister Yan, would you like to have a try?”

“Fine.” Zi Yan itched to have a try as her eyes lit up. When she was about to play the accompaniment, her hand suddenly stopped. She clicked the file named tuning piano piece next to it and said at the same time, “Listen to this first.”

Compared with the accompaniment, the piano piece only contained simple sound of piano, but she could approximately hear the timbre.

After finishing listening, Zi Yan had a general idea of this song.

“I feel excited!”

“I’m very excited!”

“This is absolutely a fine song!”

“Listen to it over and over again.” Zi Yan’s eyes brightened.

She had not felt so excited for a long time. In addition to the quality of the song, she thought that the lyrics and its artistic conception was in accordance with her current condition.

This song seemed to be tailored for her!

It did ignite Zi Yan’s passion for music though she kept calm for a long time!

After listening to it several times, Zhou Fei could not help but say,

“Great, it sounds so nice! Elder Sister Yan, do you want to sing this song?”

“Yes!” Zi Yan nodded.

As the accompaniment was played again, Zi Yan sang along. Her voice was so clear and melodic, and she injected her emotions into her voice from the very beginning.

“I have a dream, just like the rainbow. Can I have your smile with the tears in my eyes? There is a love passing through the crowd and picking up the lost dust.”

“Whispering to me, approaching me. You hold me tight, um…”

Since the sound of the first short verse was very soft, it demanded a specific singer’s voice. But obviously, Zi Yan’s voice was like a stroke of genius, vividly displaying the first verse.

At this time, Zhang Han’s figure rushed into Zi Yan’s mind. His breathing was getting closer and closer, and he held her in his arms tightly. She clearly remembered the feelings when Zhang Han hugged her.

Zi Yan had fully integrated herself into the song at this point, and her engaging voice was filled with emotions.

“I open my eyes, seeing you beside. I don’t care whether our love will last forever. When I close my eyes, you turn up again, and take me away from this lonely sky. The wrong or right is not at sight. We now unite!”

As this verse began, the tempo of the accompaniment started to be accelerated. Then, the most passionate part appeared.

“Every time when I wake up, I embrace my love. You keep waiting and never left. I’m reluctant to part with you, and I don’t need to hover about, for you are my most beautiful expectation.”

Zi Yan was still intoxicated though she finished this verse. What she experienced with Zhang Han was like a movie, flashing across her mind constantly.

“I open my eyes, seeing you beside. I don’t care whether our love will last forever. When I close my eyes, you turn up again… Every time when I wake up, I embrace my love. You keep waiting and never left. I’m reluctant to part with you, and I don’t need to hover about, for you are my most beautiful expectation.”

The accompaniment ended.

Zi Yan did not open her eyes since she was still lost in thought, and could not help smiling.

This was a very sweet smile, which was because of happiness.

After a long time.

Zi Yan slowly opened her eyes. On seeing Zhou Fei, she was suddenly dumbfounded and said,

“What are you doing, Feifei? Why are you crying?”

“I, I, I’m really happy! Ha, ha, ha!” Zhou Fei blinked her eyes and quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes, and then she choked with sobs as she smiled.

“I do like this song. Please tell me the name of this song.” Zi Yan looked at the computer.

As soon as she put her hand on the mouse, Zhou Fei answered,

“The Most Beautiful Expectation!”

Zi Yan was somewhat surprised.

The name of this song coincided with her idea.

“The Most Beautiful Expectation.”

Zi Yan was absent-minded, unblinking her beautiful big eyes, and murmured.

Simultaneously, she also had an idea,

“The most beautiful expectation. Zhang Han, you are my most beautiful expectation, I will sing this song to you specially on a big stage!”

Zi Yan was still like a girl.

Once she fell in love with Zhang Han, her mind was filled with him. At this moment, since she got this song, she started fantasizing that she would sing this song at a concert with tens of thousands of audiences one day.

Before she sang, she had to say something.

“What will I say?”

“I’ll give this song to my husband…?”

“No, no. He hasn’t proposed to me and we haven’t gotten married yet. He is not my husband now, hum.”

“What else can I say?”

“Just tell the audience that I give this song to my favorite one!”

“This is acceptable. Ha, ha. he will be definitely surprised at that time and will hug me at the backstage after the concert.”

“Hum, judging by his overbearing temperament, he is likely to kiss me.”

“However, there are so many people at the backstage.”

“How shameful we will be if we kiss in front of so many people!”

“I’ll be so embarrassed.”

…

At this point, Zi Yan just sat at the desk, already feeling distracted.

Zhou Fei thought that Zi Yan was a bit strange at the beginning, so she stared at her.

“Why her eyes suddenly narrow?”

“Is she smiling?”

“She probably is giggling.”

“Hey?”

“How does Elder Sister’s face turn red?”

“She looks a little shy!”

“What happened?”

“Is she thinking of Zhang Han?”

“Wow! The person, who falls in love with another, acts really differently than usual!”

Zhou Fei stared at her for more than half a minute. Seeing that Zi Yan was totally lost in thought, she finally could not help but cough and said,

“Elder Sister Yan, Elder Sister Yan? Hello, wake up. Are you thinking of brother-in-law?”

“No, I don’t want him to kiss me…” Zi Yan said subconsciously.

“Ah?” Zhou Fei suddenly froze, and then burst out laughing.

“Ouch.” Zi Yan rolled her beautiful eyes as her face turned red. She snorted and said, “Stop laughing. Let’s check other songs!”

“Ha, ha, ha, well. I’ll stop. Let’s check other songs. Judging from the quality of this song, it is definitely written by Hanyang. Wow, ten songs. Nobody got so many songs before. My God, it’s so cool!” Zhou Fei stopped laughing and said with great excitement.

“Humph.”

Zi Yan snorted, feeling very delighted. She rolled her eyes at Zhou Fei, then she looked at the computer and opened the second folder.

More than half an hour later.

“This song about fairy tales is very interesting. It seems that Hanyang wrote it for kids.” Zhou Fei repeatedly shook her head and sighed with emotions. “Hanyang is full of wit. What a talented man! He’s so terrible that he can write songs of various styles. My God, it’s a miracle! Elder Sister Yan, just have a try.”

“Well, okay.”

Zi Yan played the accompaniment again and sang, following the rhythm.

“I heard that Snow White ran away, and Little Red is afraid of the wolf. I heard that Mad Hatter likes Alice, and the Ugly Duck will become a swan. I heard that Peter Pan never grows up. Jack can do magic and has a harp…”

They just worked in passion like time was not even passing.

Unconsciously, the morning slipped away quickly and it was twelve o’clock.

Zi Yan tried to sing four songs, each of which was of great quality!

These songs gave the two of them the creeps frequently.

“Oh, Elder Sister Yan, it’s twelve o’clock. Let’s take a break and drink some water to moisten your throat.” Zhou Fei handed her a bottle of water.

“Well.” Zi Yan took it and had a few swallows.

“Elder Sister Yan, we will definitely succeed this time. I have already imagined that you return to the peak again soon. No, you will surpass your former achievements! Win the top award! Ha, ha, ha.” Zhou Fei shook her head and said, looking forward to what would happen in the future.

“Yes, it’s the second time that he has helped me. He’s really my lucky star.” Zi Yan casually looked through the mails and her face changed slightly as she saw the special sending time. “Wait! Feifei, look!”

“What?” Zhou Fei turned her head in puzzlement.

“Look at the time.” Zi Yan gradually calmed down.

“Time… the mail sending time, at 21:21:21? Love you, love you, love you? Pftt, ahem, ahem, is it impossible? Elder Sister Yan, is Hanyang your crazy fan? Is he expressing his love for you?” Zhou Fei’s eyes widened, and she was a little shocked.

“Is Hanyang confessing his love for Zi Yan?”

Zi Yan froze, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth, and her expression was a bit upset.

In addition to the songs they had listened to, others were all undoubtedly fine songs.

“But he is expressing his love!”

“Should I accept the gifts and sing them in public?”

“Just as she accepts the flowers from a man with great joy.”

“What if Zhang Han see this? What will he think?”

“Will he feel upset?”

“Will he be disappointed?”

“Will he become… sad?”

Zi Yan could not help imagining Zhang Han’s sad eyes at the thought of it.

At this moment, her heart gave a great leap.

She did feel distressed!

She loved Zhang Han.

Every time when she thought that Zhang Han would feel lost and sad, she would feel distressed.

“No!”

“I can’t accept these songs!”

“Even if these ten songs can rewrite my current dilemma!”

Zi Yan’s eyes were brimming with helplessness and sadness, but she did not hesitate.

After only two seconds, she glanced at Zhou Fei with a firm look and said,

“I can’t accept these songs!”

“Ah? You want to give up? Why?” Zhou Fei was suddenly astonished, and then she said in an anxious tone, “Elder Sister Yan, no, we need these ten songs. Hanyang may express his love, but we can accept these songs.”

“No!”

Zi Yan shook her head again, directly replied the mail and typed a few words,

“Hello, Hanyang, I’m Zi Yan. Thank you very much for the ten songs you sent to me, and I know what you mean as I see the sending time, so I can’t accept them. Sorry.”

“It seems that I will miss these fine songs.”

She typed these words without any hesitation and clicked to send it. Then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, leaning against the chair and sighing.

What a pity. But she did not regret refusing his help!

“Erm…” Zhou Fei looked at Zi Yan, who was really stubborn, shook her head helplessly, and then said, “Ouch, it’s a pity. Just let it go. Alas, we should ask brother-in-law to compensate us this time.”

At this point, Zi Yan slightly curled her red lips and was no longer excited. She took out her mobile phone, and muttered in a muffled voice, “I will call him.”

Soon, the phone was connected.

“Zhang Han.”

“What’s wrong? Are you upset?” In the restaurant, Zhang Han and Mengmeng were having lunch, but he asked after putting down the chopsticks.

“I’m not happy.” Zi Yan said, pouting.

If Zhang Han had seen her expression, he would have kissed her.

“Why are you unhappy? Is someone irritating you? Tell me, I will beat him!” Zhang Han said with a chuckle.

“It’s you! Will you beat yourself?”

“Ah…” After hearing for a while, Zhou Fei could not bear to be with Zi Yan, so she quickly got up and went out.

“I don’t want to watch you showing your affection. I need to leave.”

Hearing what Zi Yan said, Zhang Han was stunned and said in doubt, “Me?”

“It’s you, hum. I missed a golden opportunity because of you.”

“What is it?”

Zi Yan bent down and lay on the desk, putting her head on her arm, then she said as she pouted, “Do you know Hanyang? I told you last time.”

“I see.”

“It’s me!”

Zhang Han seemed to think of something, so he burst into laughter.

“Should I tell her the truth directly?”

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Han denied his idea.

“She’d better discover it by herself. By then, her expression must be very cute, and she certainly will be moved. A woman, who is moved, will indeed be obedient. At that time, I can see her new postures, but I’m not aware of the postures she will make!”

Gradually, Zhang Han got the wrong idea.

“He gave me ten songs, but I refused.”

“Why did you refuse?”

“The time is improper. He sent it at 21:21:21, which means that he loves me and wants to pursue me. Therefore, I refused. It’s all your fault! Shouldn’t I blame you? Hum!”

“Well, well, ha, ha, ha. I’ll compensate you when you come back at night. But what if it is a misunderstanding?”

“I’ll know his intention if Hanyang replies to my mail.”

“Oh, it’s past twelve o’clock. Have you had lunch yet?”

“I lost my appetite.”

“Would you like me to send food to you?”

“No, I’m just kidding. The pumpkin porridge in the company restaurant also tastes good. Feifei has gone to buy it, and we’ll have lunch soon.”

“…”

After chatting for another ten minutes, the two of them hung up.

Then Zhang Han logged in to the mailbox with his mobile phone and saw the email from Zi Yan, so he started typing.

In Zi Yan’s office, after Zi Yan hung up the phone, Zhou Fei knocked on the door and walked in. She carried two cups of pumpkin porridge and a box, with several small buns and some pickles in it.

“Elder Sister Yan, let’s have lunch first, then wait for Hanyang’s reply. If he says that it is just a misunderstanding, we can accept the songs.” Zhou Fei had not given up.

“Well, let’s wait.” Zi Yan nodded. When she was about to take a cup of pumpkin porridge, she suddenly saw a new message out of the corner of her eyes. “Hey? He replied!”

“Let’s have a look, hurry up!” Zhou Fei hastily put the food on the desk and got close to the computer, and then she read while looking at it,

“Hello, Beauty Zi Yan, I’m Hanyang. I was somehow destined to send you the email at that time, so you don’t have to think too much. I have a very beautiful lovely wife, who is like a fairy, as well as a cute daughter. These ten songs include some of my yearning and sentiment. Since your voice is similar to the sound of nature, I think you will sing them very well.”

“Wow! Ha, ha, ha, ha! It’s cool! Yeah! Nice! Great! These ten songs are ours!” Zhou Fei’s eyes suddenly widened and she screamed.

Seeing what Zhou Fei did, Zi Yan grinned.

This was indeed a piece of good news, and she was relieved at this time.

“Oh? By the way, Feifei, do Hanyang’s songs cost 200,000 yuan each?” Zi Yan asked.

“Yes, it seems to cost 200,000 yuan and the copyright will be fully licensed to the singer,” Zhou Fei said.

“I see.” Zi Yan nodded and typed to reply the email.

“Thank you and I’ll accept the songs. Should we talk about the terms of trading?”

After twenty seconds, Hanyang replied,

“Don’t mention the money! It’s too vulgar. Just sing these songs properly.”

“Doesn’t he want the money? D*mn it. What happened?” Zhou Fei said with great amazement.

“Is he for art?” Zi Yan was also a bit confused.

But Zi Yan felt relieved when she heard that he already had a wife and a kid. Besides, because Hanyang, as such a talent, actually complimented her on her voice, Zi Yan was very delighted.

However, she did not know that Hanyang’s wife was herself, and his daughter was Mengmeng!

Then Zi Yan stared at the screen for a few minutes with mixed feelings, and eventually typed two words with the keyboard,

“Thank you!”

Then she clicked to send it.

At this moment, Zi Yan was relieved and smiled heartily. She took out the mobile phone and told Zhang Han the good news through Wechat, then she began to have lunch with Zhou Fei.

She planned to continue to try another few songs after finishing lunch and taking a short break.

After that, she needed to go to the recording studio to record the lossless audio sound music, and deal with the matters concerning with the copyright, the MV as well as the album, etc.

At two o’clock in the afternoon.

It was just quiet in Mengmeng’s Leisure Restaurant for a while.

Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

Several fancy cars appeared on the street all of sudden.

The Hummers for military uses were like tigers and wolves.

There was a total of about more than twenty cars. In the middle of them were three trucks.

Zhao Feng was in the first military vehicle and chatted with Instructor Liu, who was really excited. In fact, he had just called Zhang Han.

Zhang Han also knew that not only the treasures, but also Instructor Liu and his companions would come here.

…

Zhang Han guessed that he could not wait to bring his men over as he had a short fuse.
