CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 99: THE END OF THE 1ST SEMESTER OF FRESHMAN YEAR, HEADING TO NING YUHUAN’S HOME_2

Xu Lin just discovered that Rong Xiyi had already taken off her clothes.

"Wait a bit, why the rush?"

"What’s more important, work or your cute sister?"

"Sister."

"Sister!"

"Call me ’sister’ again, and I’ll spank you!"

"Then go ahead and spank!"

"Don’t be naughty."

"Hmph!"

Rong Xiyi’s eyes flickered mischievously, as if plotting something bad. She quickly slid off Xu Lin and went under the table, reaching out to pull down Xu Lin’s pants.

Xu Lin knew what she was up to and lifted his butt a little.

In no time, Xu Lin’s pants were pulled down by this mischievous girl.

Xu Lin didn’t say anything about it, just stayed focused on letting Rong Xiyi serve him.

It was now midnight.

The post that Xu Lin just made had, after about an hour of spreading, now climbed to number thirteen on the trending topics.

The words ’Mr. Xu’ have a certain magic on Weibo, since they had appeared many times before, so when people saw it, they clicked in due to its familiarity, only to find out about Xu Lin’s script being sold.

Most folks wouldn’t pay attention to TV drama stuff, but a decent number of people would, and those people started discussing who should play which role.

Xu Lin’s script had quite a few main roles with lots of screen time, and they were all quite impressive.

Those who truly understood scripts knew this was definitely a top-notch script.

"Let it brew a bit more, we’ll see tomorrow."

Nothing much happened for the rest of the night.

Tonight, Rong Xiyi really let loose, which allowed Xu Lin to mess about to his heart’s content, so the two of them didn’t sleep until after four o’clock.

The next morning, Xu Lin and Rong Xiyi went out for breakfast. After dropping Rong Xiyi back, Xu Lin returned to the duplex.

After fermenting all night, more people knew about Xu Lin’s script being sold.

Because of the immense buzz and the top-tier script.

When Xu Lin opened Weibo, he saw many celebrities calling out, hoping to participate in a role from the script.

Small-time celebrities wouldn’t be calling out, as it would do no good; they wouldn’t even hit the trending topics.

So, those appearing on the trending list were all famous celebrities.

For instance, someone as famous as Dilraba.

In fact, Xu Lin thought that Dilraba’s acting skills were lacking; unless she played a vase role, she wouldn’t be able to handle a significant role in this drama.

In Xu Lin’s drama, there were three important young female roles corresponding to the main wives of the three princes. After all, in ancient society, how could a royal family have only one wife? That wouldn’t fit the logic of continuing the lineage. Even if you wanted to marry just one, your subordinates wouldn’t agree.

But when it came to casting, it didn’t really have much to do with Xu Lin; it was all up to the investors and what drama crew they wished to gather.

He was just the screenwriter.

However, with celebrities calling out for this drama now, it’s something to look forward to; the stronger the cast lineup, the greater the chances of it becoming a hit drama later on.

Then Xu Lin logged into his work account and checked Xie Ting’s messages.

Recently, Xie Ting asked Xu Lin when he would write a song and wanted him to write one.

Xu Lin asked what type of song he wanted.

Before long, Xie Ting replied, "Master, how about a love song? Something like this..."

Xu Lin glanced through his reply and gathered that Xie Ting wanted a very clingy love song, the kind that’s super clingy.

Xu Lin: "Did you recently break up?"

"Ah, Master, I broke up."

"You’re both handsome and rich, and you still managed to break up? Are you crazy?"

"It’s a long story. I was sleep-talking, and my girlfriend said I called out my ex’s name. She woke me up in the middle of the night and blasted me. Master, I really like her though..."

There was a long paragraph after that, but Xu Lin didn’t want to read it, as it was like a mini-essay about the little things between him and his girlfriend.

Xie Ting even sent a picture of his girlfriend, who looked quite pretty, with a refreshing and unique air about her, somewhat magnetic.

In summary, Xie Ting was smitten.

Xu Lin: "So, it’s just about writing a heartfelt song to win her back?"

"Yes, Master."

"I’ll send it over tonight after I finish composing."

"Great, thanks, Master!"

Xu Lin went back to reading the ’mini-essay’ Xie Ting sent.

Actually, based on the descriptions, this girl seemed to have a good personality, and it wasn’t just Xie Ting putting in all the effort. If it were, it would undoubtedly just be a one-sided clingy situation, but since both sides contributed, it’s not like that.

So Xu Lin planned to use Xie Ting’s ’mini-essay’ to write a heartfelt song.

Xu Lin: "Send me more about what you and your girlfriend have been through, especially meaningful things, not just trivial stuff."

Xie Ting: "Master, I’ll send it over right away!"

In the next hour or so, Xie Ting sent over quite a few ’mini-essays.’

Xu Lin thought that was enough and told him to stop.

It was truly too sappy, and he began to understand why people who chatted with ’mini-essays’ might find it agonizing.

Xu Lin switched off his phone and started composing.

A heartfelt song needs a melody that is gentle yet slightly melancholic, with an overall smooth tune, but not too upbeat.

As for the melancholic aspect, since it’s not about someone’s passing, just a touch of melancholy will do, the so-called ’sorrow without pain.’ Overdoing it would be inappropriate.

Xu Lin spent a little over an hour coming up with a tune.

This was just the initial work.

Then, Xu Lin spent another two hours refining it, during which he also strummed on his guitar over a dozen times, feeling the rhythm and the emotional shifts.

Xu Lin is quite meticulous and only felt satisfied with the composition after he had no issues with it himself.

So, just the composition part alone took Xu Lin over three hours; it was quite the workload.

Taking a break halfway, Xu Lin had some lunch.
