“Ahhh, there are more inspirations, they are about to burst!” Xiao Ran started his con .

“This song starts off with the sounds of firearms, giving a concept of a desperate battlefield . ”

After speaking, Xiao Ran picked up a pen and started to hum according to his memory while writing the lyrics .

When the lyrics were written, Xiao Ran let out a breath and it felt as though his energy was sapped . “I am finally done writing . Boss, shall I sing it for you?”

When Jay Chou heard how Xiao Ran hummed while writing, he was already extremely flabbergasted .

Isn’t this god damn amazing? A sudden inspiration is enough to create a song?

Even the lyrics are filled?

How amazing must a person be to achieve such a heaven-defying act!

Furthermore, when he hummed earlier, it sounds quite incredible…

Is this how songs are created?

Isn’t too damn casual!!??

But in order to know if a song was good or not, the entire song had to be listened to first . Jay Chou was also thinking the song that Xiao Ran created in such a short period of time would definitely have plenty of flaws . At that time, he could help to edit it a little to redeem his pride of having strong musical skills .

“Alright, sing it one time for me . ” Jay Chou nodded to Xiao Ran and said .

“Okay!” Xiao Ran picked up the lyrics he had just written and started to explain, “Just as I mentioned earlier, the starting part of the song is the sounds of machine guns and cannons before it entered the song . ”

Immediately after, Xiao Ran hummed the prelude .

The prelude of this song was a very new concept . It wasn’t complicated but definitely wasn’t simple either . It made people feel excited with a sense of sorrow at the same time .

After the prelude finished, Jay Chou was instantly shocked when Xiao Ran sang!

The strafes of the machine guns are searching for our trench that we are hiding in .

The sandcastle that I sculpted during my childhood has been ruined and rebuilt .

But your army jacket is covered with blood and bullet holes .

In the smoke where I cannot even raise my hands for a prayer, I recalled the smell of popsicles and soda .

And the entire summer where I did nothing as a youth .

I put down my gun and reminisce about the school where I graduated last year .

I had already forgotten that my tears need to drop .

Xiao Ran sang the entire rap and it also contained Jay Chou’s specialty of ‘unclear enunciation’ .

As the chorus cut in, there were constant impacts that were rushing in Jay Chou’s professional musician’s ears . He was stunned again!

This…

This is the appearance of a music prodigy!

It wasn’t just Jay Chou, the fat chick, Ergua, Xiaoqiang and, Erhei didn’t expect for this young man to create such a wonderful song in just a short period of time .

They said that Cao Zhi could create a poem in seven steps, but this young man had created an entire song during a conversation!
(TL note: Cao Zhi is a character in the Romance of Three Kingdoms)

This was unfathomable!

As everyone was still in astonishment, Xiao Ran’s song continued .

The sounds of mocking laughter were constantly practiced in the wind .

This forest is filled with hostility .

When the unit gave up defending the front, you insisted that I leave too .

How can I give up?

I left behind to accompany you who is trying not to cry .

There are things that are too late to return to .

Your face is twitching and is almost losing all strength .

I am not allowed to mention my hometown anymore .

At the last moments, the distance between you and me .

Is as close as when your face fell into my embrace .

As you slowly fall asleep, I will not wake you .

My tears are severed in the trench .

After Xiao Ran finished singing, Jay Chou didn’t talk for a long time .

He had always felt that he was considered a genius in terms of music .

He didn’t expect to encounter another genius who was several times superior to him!

Furthermore, this youth’s ability to create was much more terrifying that he had imagined!

Earlier on, Jay Chou was thinking that a song created in such a short time would surely have flaws .

But after listening, Jay Chou had to admit that this song was truly written with such excitement!

If Jay Chou had to give an evaluation, he could only use one word to describe it .

That would be… flawless!

Be it or or this song Xiao Ran had just written with a sudden inspiration, they were all on a higher level than Jay Chou’s own songs .

This third song would be way above all the other songs in any of his albums!

“What is the name of this song?” Jay Chou’s voice shook a little as he asked .

“The name…” Xiao Ran pretended to think for a moment before replying, “I shall name it . ”

…” Jay Chou was contemplating before he asked, “Why do I feel that this song is written for a brother?”

Xiao Ran was also shocked .

As expected… This might be the parallel world but this was Jay Chou’s song after all, his appreciation for the song must be especially sensitive .

This song was created to commemorate the pure friendship between Jay Chou and Will Liu .

It was said that before the creation of this song, Jay Chou told Will Liu that he was going to write a very ‘corny’ song and write all their brotherly friendship inside it .

Afterwards, Jay Chou had even invited Will Liu to act as a comrade in the music video . When he thought back and listened to the song, he thought he was describing a war .

Now that he thought about it, he was truly ashamed!

“Can you sell this song’s copyright to me as well?” Jay Chou looked at Xiao Ran with fixed and expectant eyes .

Xiao Ran nodded and started to put on a pretense, “This song written for the teammates that I can trust and rely on .   Just based on the fact that you can feel the intense brotherly friendship, I will sell this song to you too . ”

Jay Chou jumped off the chair with excitement and quickly beckoned the fat chick, “Quickly go and get the agreement . Right now, I want to sign the agreement with Xiao Ran immediately!”

Jay Chou was in a hurry because he was afraid Xiao Ran might change his mind . After all, a promise without an agreement was unreal .

After the fat chick prepared the agreement and after Xiao Ran signed it, Jay Chou asked for Xiao Ran’s bank account number and handed it to the fat chick . He then asked her to contact the finance department to immediately transfer the funds to Xiao Ran .

Subsequently, Jay Chou asked Xiao Ran to rest while he went to the recording studio .

As Jay Chou also had a burst of inspiration, he wanted to take the opportunity of his best state of mind to compose the music for and , and also to modify the melody of as well .

For the next few days, Jay Chou didn’t reveal himself and Xiao Ran heard from the fat chick that Jay Chou had entered a frenzied state and had been repeatedly editing and perfecting the three songs .

Until the day of the live broadcast for , Jay Chou gave Xiao Ran a call and told Xiao Ran to wait at home and that he would send someone to fetch Xiao Ran to the Zhejiang TV Station for the live rehearsal .
