"Okay."
"Director Su, I'll go prepare now."
Zhou Chengcheng was very excited, saying she would go prepare a gown.
Jiang Wanying was a little nervous, her hands frozen, not knowing whether to move or not.
Su Yang got up and pulled her up.
"Xiao Wanying, are you afraid of me?"
"Brother Yang, I'm not afraid, just a little nervous."
"Then stand still, I'll help you relax."
Su Yang picked up the showerhead and soap, and gave Jiang Wanying a thorough drenching.
Jiang Wanying turned around and leaned back against him, her hands covering herself.
"Brother Yang, do you dislike me for being young, and that's why you've never taken me?"
Jiang Wanying's heart pounded, her face flushed, and she dared not look back.
"Xiao Wanying, you're not young, it's just that I'm afraid of wasting your youth."
"Brother Yang, I... I only like you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life, no matter what."
Jiang Wanying mustered up the courage to confess. Previously, she had felt inferior due to her humble background.
But as time went by, she realized Su Yang didn't care about these things, so she seized the opportunity to express her feelings.
Su Yang didn't say much, he wrapped an arm around her waist and placed the other on her shoulder.
"Brother Yang, I'm fine, don't worry..."
"Then bear with it. You can't handle it, you're still young. I'll try my best to control myself."
"Mmm-hmm."
Jiang Wanying gritted her teeth. At first, she was a little uncomfortable, but after a while, it changed.
As time passed, the water in the bathtub gradually changed color.
At the same time, mechanical voices sounded in Su Yang's mind.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully caring for Jiang Wanying, gaining ten years of lifespan!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully caring for Jiang Wanying, rewarded with a sea-view villa, approximately one thousand square meters!]
[Congratulations to the host for completing a hidden achievement, Jiang Wanying's favorability towards you has reached 100%, rewarded with a special item - Earth Meditation Cushion.]
During his moment of clarity, Su Yang asked, "System, what is the Earth Meditation Cushion?"
[With it, your martial arts practice will be twice as effective. Just sit on the cushion, and you can deduce any martial arts manual you wish to learn.]
"Good stuff!"
Su Yang was overjoyed. He had just snatched two martial arts manuals from Xu Zhizhong today and was wondering when he would learn them.
It was truly a case of needing a pillow and someone delivering one.
"Brother Yang, are... are you done? I can't hold on much longer..."
Jiang Wanying gritted her teeth, gripping the showerhead tightly as if she were going to crush it.
"Almost done. Brother is just too happy. Please wait a moment..."
121
The next morning.
As dawn broke, the villa was brightly lit.
Meng Lianxin and the other women got up early to wash and groom themselves, each dressed elegantly.
Su Yang heard the noise and opened his eyes to see Jiang Wanying still asleep.
"Xiao Wanying, it's time to get up."
"Mmm, just a few more minutes."
Jiang Wanying curled up, like a cute and lazy kitten.
Su Yang tidied his clothes and, without Zhou Chengcheng's help, slowly washed himself.
When he went downstairs, he found that they had already left for the music academy in Coast Village.
Su Yang ate breakfast while replying to various messages.
The Royal Music Academy of Longguo, the grand opening of its first branch, of course, had to be a grand affair.
Su Yang forwarded Meng Lianxin's WeChat Moments to his old friends with one click.
"Brother Yang, did I oversleep? Where are they?"
Jiang Wanying walked down the stairs slowly, limping with difficulty.
"Don't worry, there's nothing to do even if we go early."
Su Yang helped her sit down and handed her hot milk and brown sugar water.
"You worked hard last night. You lost so much, drink more to replenish your blood."
"Mmm, it wasn't hard..."
...
Coast Village, Royal Music Academy of Longguo, Songhai Branch.
Eight in the morning.
Meng Lianxin, Yang Mange, and others were bustling around.
A few days prior, they had sent out many invitations, inviting prominent figures from all walks of life in Songhai to attend the grand opening ceremony.
Invited guests arrived one after another, and of course, there were also uninvited guests.
"Miss Meng, long time no see."
Meng Lianxin turned around and recognized the person, her smile gradually freezing.
"Mr. Aaron, why are you here?"
Aaron said solemnly, "I am a musician. Wherever a music academy opens, I will naturally come to visit and learn."
Meng Lianxin frowned, "Mr. Aaron, it seems we are not that familiar, are we?"
"Miss Meng, I'm just a music lover, why be so distant?"
Yang Mange, standing beside Meng Lianxin, pulled her arm, "Lianxin, there are many guests here, let's not bother with him for now."
Meng Lianxin nodded and turned to continue greeting guests.
In addition to representatives from various industries in Songhai, many young people also came to register, wanting to join the music academy.
Aaron walked around, very satisfied with the design of the music academy.
Taking advantage of the crowd, Aaron took out a small piece of paper with a song written on it.
A few days ago, he heard that the music academy was opening and Meng Lianxin was the principal.
Aaron thought he must seize the opportunity to show off.
On the high platform, several beautiful women were dancing.
Aaron walked up, tapped the microphone.
"Dear guests, hello."
Hearing the voice, everyone looked towards the high platform.
Aaron smiled, "I am a musician graduated from the Royal College of Music in Britain. Today is the grand opening ceremony of the Songhai branch, so I would like to sing a song for everyone."
The guests below whispered among themselves.
"So he's a musician from Britain, he must have some talent."
"I feel like I've seen this person somewhere, but I can't recall where."
Aaron signaled the accompanist to prepare, then hummed and began to sing in English.
The guests present understood a little English and thought the lyrics were well-written.
The melody rose and fell, sometimes warm and romantic, sometimes sad and pitiable.
Aaron closed his eyes and sang with deep emotion, his hands swaying with the melody.
"You are like a fire in that winter. The blazing flame warms my heart..."
"A good song, very romantic!"
"Yes, the person who wrote this song must be a romantic at heart."
The guests present applauded and praised.
Aaron was pleased with their reaction and bowed to everyone after finishing.
However, he did not leave the stage but picked up the microphone again.
"I am very grateful for your listening, everyone. This song is called 'Waiting for You Ten Thousand Years,' and I hope you all like it."
Waiting for you ten thousand years?
This is too sentimental!
Everyone in the hall was deeply moved, and some women even couldn't help but shed tears.
Aaron's gaze swept across the audience, "I wrote this song hoping Miss Meng Lianxin will understand my feelings. I am willing to wait for her ten thousand years."
"Wow! It's a love song for Principal Meng, no wonder it's so romantic."
"That's not right, I heard Principal Meng is Young Master Su's girlfriend. Isn't he openly poaching her?"
"This is going to be interesting. I wonder what Young Master Su will do when he arrives."
Hearing the murmurs, Meng Lianxin's face turned green.
This Aaron was like a persistent fly, refusing to leave her alone.
Several times before, Aaron had "accidentally" run into her and even invited her to dinner.
Now, he had come up with a song from somewhere and performed it in front of everyone.
Aaron continued, "My love for Miss Meng cannot be expressed even with ten thousand songs."
