Chapter 28: Arranging and Lyric Writing

That would be even better. Anyway, these are all tasks that need to be completed. Having a goal makes taking action much clearer.

She thought for a moment and said to Chen Yun, "Sister Yun, is it possible to combine the three pieces I played into one with current technology? I'd like to use it as background music for the program."

Chen Yun immediately decided: "Of course, do you want to write the lyrics?"

After a moment's thought, Jiang Songchu said, "I don't know whether writing lyrics or not will have a better effect, but I can try writing some lyrics."

The lyrics she used differed from modern song lyrics, as they were mostly based on classical Chinese poems and songs.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Feng immediately gave Jiang Songchu a thumbs up.

Xie Linxiao also looked at Chen Yun: "Tomorrow, find someone to tune the piano according to Xiao Chu's requirements, and then after she finishes playing, send me the synthesized version to listen to."

He then looked at Jiang Songchu and said, "Try writing the lyrics first, don't force yourself, and we'll see if it suits you."

Finally, he made the final decision: "That's enough for today, let's go eat first."

With no objections, everyone left the practice room.

After Jiang Songchu, Grandma Feng, and Xie Linxiao went out, they realized they weren't heading home.

She expressed her doubts, and Grandma Feng explained with a smile, "Today our whole family went to a restaurant to eat."

Traffic congestion in Nanlin City during the evening rush hour is extremely severe. A journey that should be only two or three kilometers can take more than twenty minutes for a driver to reach their destination.

Looking at the antique-style restaurant in front of him, Jiang Songchu couldn't help but marvel at the advancements in modern technology once again.

Inside the private room, Grandpa Xie, Xie Zhenghua, Lin Jiaru, Xie Zhenggang, and Xiao Ling had all arrived, each with a genuine smile on their face.

As Jiang Songchu followed Grandma Feng and Xie Linxiao inside, she heard everyone cheering, "A warm welcome to Xiao Chu joining our big family!"

Jiang Songchu's eyes welled up with tears. As she listened to Grandma Feng's words, she went up to greet everyone one by one, and then she saw that everyone had taken out carefully prepared gifts to give to her.

"Thank you, grandparents!"

Thank you, Mom and Dad!

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt!"

"Thank you, brother!"

Jiang Songchu was so moved that she almost couldn't hold back her tears.

Just then, Xie Linxiao joked, "Don't cry too soon! You still have a second brother in D country who hasn't given you a gift yet! Remember to ask him for it when he gets back!"

Jiang Songchu burst into laughter instantly through her tears, and everyone was amused by her appearance.

The Xie family enjoyed a lively welcome meal together, and Jiang Songchu felt the long-lost warmth and kindness from her family.

The meal lasted for two or three hours before slowly coming to a close amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.

When the group returned to Rhine Villa, Jiang Songchu was pleasantly surprised to find that Mo Bao seemed to have grown a little more. It hopped out to greet everyone, its tail wagging like a rattle.

Jiang Songchu happily picked up Mo Bao, nuzzling its face affectionately, and murmured to herself, "Mo Bao, I missed you so much! Have you been a good boy/girl? Look, you've grown even bigger!" Her gentle eyes seemed to be overflowing with tenderness.

Mo Bao seemed to understand its owner's words, meowing happily as if responding to Jiang Songchu's longing.

Grandpa Xie was overjoyed to see the interaction between Jiang Songchu and Mo Bao.

After spending the past week together, he grew to love his clever and bright granddaughter more and more, and he truly adored her from the bottom of his heart.

He smiled and said to Jiang Songchu, "Xiao Chu, your work has successfully passed the review and entered the preliminary round. We'll know the results at the end of September. You're amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Songchu calculated the days in his mind. It was already the 19th, so it seemed the answer would be revealed next week or the week after.

She said gratefully to Grandpa Xie, "Thank you, Grandpa. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known there was such a competition. Thank you so much for all the help you've given me."

Grandpa Xie joked, "You can't say that. Of course, Grandpa hopes you'll bring the trophy home!"

Jiang Songchu nodded emphatically this time, her eyes resolute: "Grandpa, I will definitely work hard and bring you the trophy!"

Everyone felt a warm glow in their hearts as they watched the heartwarming conversation between the grandfather and grandson.

At this moment, Xie Zhenggang interjected, "Dad, don't put too much pressure on Xiao Chu. The child should focus on her studies and not let her get tired."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Xie glared at his eldest son, his beard almost bristling with anger: "Do you think I don't know? You little brat, you dare to lecture me!"

He continued, his beard bristling and eyes wide, "Xiao Chu's calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Others may find it difficult to catch up, but for Xiao Chu, it's all a piece of cake. How could I possibly put pressure on her? I think it's more like she's putting pressure on others!"

"Xiao Chu, don't you think so?" Old Master Xie turned to look at Jiang Songchu, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

Jiang Songchu was amused by Grandpa Xie's words. She patted Grandpa Xie's back, then looked at Xie Zhenggang and coaxed him, "Thank you for the praise, Grandpa. Dad was just worried about me. Don't worry, Dad, this isn't too difficult for me and it won't interfere with my studies."

Lin Jiaru gently intervened to smooth things over, saying, "Dad, Zhenggang just didn't think straight for a moment, and it was all for Xiaochu's sake. Please don't take it to heart!"

Xie Zhenghua also tried to comfort his father, saying, "Yes, yes! Dad! Don't be angry!"

Seeing this, Grandpa Xie said, seemingly angrily, "Why are you trying to fool me? Do you think I'm a child? Why would I be angry? Go and rest!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat.

Everyone knew that the old man was alright, so they all prepared to go upstairs to wash up and go to bed.

Although they all left as if nothing had happened, they were secretly thinking to themselves with a smile: "Old age is like childhood! Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure!"

After returning to her room, Jiang Songchu spent some more time cuddling with Mo Bao.

After washing up, she lay down on the bed and immediately went into the study room.

Tonight, her goal is clear: to compose music and write lyrics.

The system watched as Jiang Songchu practiced, adapted, and composed music repeatedly in the instrument area.

Her focused gaze and nimble fingers danced across the piano keys, as if weaving beautiful musical notes.

After practicing repeatedly until she was proficient, she moved on to the study area and frantically wrote lyrics.

She threw sheets of paper on the ground, one by one, a testament to her constant attempts and revisions.

She sometimes frowned, sometimes smiled, and finally, after countless revisions, she looked at the words in front of her and nodded in satisfaction. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and go to rest for a while.

On Saturday morning, Jiang Songchu and Xie Linxiao finished breakfast and headed straight to Hongtian Entertainment.
