Due to a sudden arrangement, Bi Xia started her first audition of the song she and Xu Renfei were about to sing on the way to the recording studio.

It must be said, although Xu Renfei usually looks quite unreliable and he acts completely foolish, when it comes to music, he really has talent. As soon as the music began with just a piano key, Bi Xia felt drawn, wanting to keep listening further.

Since it was without harmony yet, the headphones only had the piano accompaniment and a few hums of the male voice. When the song reached its climax, another instrument joined in, and Bi Xia’s eyes slightly widened—it’s a guitar.

The song was approximately four minutes and twenty seconds long but left Bi Xia wanting to listen to it again.

After the second listen ended, Bi Xia came to her senses and looked at Xu Renfei, "Is this song just piano and guitar from beginning to end, or did I mishear?"

Xu Renfei’s eyes lit up with surprise as he looked at Bi Xia, "You caught it! Indeed, it’s only piano and guitar."

Bi Xia: "...It was so obvious, I could hear it..."

Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Xu Renfei’s smile froze, then he awkwardly chuckled, "That’s true."

But he quickly regained his energy, "Actually, I’ve thought about incorporating other instruments into this song, but no matter how I tried to add a third instrument, it just wouldn’t fit. It always felt awkward and off, just... not the right vibe, a weird feeling."

"Why?" Bi Xia leaned back on the chair, "Didn’t you think about what to use before you started writing?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Faced with Bi Xia’s question, Xu Renfei stuck out his tongue, a bit sheepishly, "When I was writing, I really didn’t think about it. All I had in mind was the piano and guitar duet, and nothing else could fit in. After finishing the whole thing and trying to add a third instrument, I found no space for it."

"It’s like..." Xu Renfei thought for a moment, "It’s like a couple, no matter how hard a third party tries, there’s no gap, no chance for them."

Bi Xia: ...This metaphor... She gives it full marks...

Bi Xia doesn’t consider herself musically gifted—at best, she can hum a few tunes; she certainly doesn’t feel like she’s something special just because Xu Renfei

asked her to help record. On the contrary, although she’s unsure why Xu Renfei insists on her collaborating on this song, she can tell that this song is very important to him.

So instead of chatting with Xu Renfei, she wore the headphones and repeatedly looked at the lyrics in her hand, quietly followed the melody and softly sang along.

For a moment, the car became quiet; besides the sound of breathing, there was only the clear, ethereal humming. Seeing Luo Hao’s surprised look aimed at him, Xu Renfei smiled proudly without knowing why, feeling an ’I already knew’ sense of pride. Yet, he couldn’t resist turning on his phone’s recorder, secretly capturing the sound.

Watching the recording time slowly extend, the boy’s humming gradually merged into the recording, Xu Renfei felt a sense of satisfaction, as though he had collected a very precious instrument.

Suddenly, there was a light youthful laugh; Xu Renfei’s hand shook, and the phone fell to the ground with a slap, followed by the boy’s slightly trembling laugh-filled voice, "Feixiaofei, you’ll definitely become an amazing singer someday, like a superstar."

His movement to pick up the phone paused momentarily, Xu Renfei smiled confidently, "Of course, I’m already being called a little superstar, aren’t I?"

"Little superstar?" The boy’s voice turned slightly serious, laughter restrained, "Being called a little superstar is just flattery from others. When you truly become a superstar, then they’ll call you that out of respect, not flattery."
