Romance Variety Show: Director, there's something wrong with my script!

Chapter 85 Arrival in Kagoshima

Xu Zhiyi's question startled Chen Yuan for a moment, then he said frankly, "I'm a creator, isn't it normal for me to look through music-related books?"

"It seems that's true." Meng Shuran nodded from the side, her tone carrying a touch of innocent agreement.

"That's true," Xu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow slightly, adding, "but as far as I know, the history of music development in China is a fundamental subject taught in the very first lesson of music majors at university, right?"

"Yeah, I've almost forgotten everything I learned before, so I'm taking this opportunity to review it." Chen Yuan made up an excuse in a serious manner, his expression revealing no flaws.

"..." Xu Zhiyi found it impossible to refute these words, so she stopped asking questions and got up to choose books from the bookshelf.

Meng Shuran scratched her head, unable to think of anything to do, so she simply leaned back, curled up on the sofa, and muttered, "Never mind, I'll take a nap first."

Chen Yuan was greatly shocked to see her close her eyes and fall asleep in an instant.

It turns out that there really are people who can fall asleep anytime, anywhere.

Sunlight streamed through the bookstore's porthole, illuminating her face and outlining her gentle sleeping features. Chen Yuan felt a quiet sense of emotion.

I never imagined that I would have had a brief, innocent encounter with her when I was young, though it was nothing more than holding hands.

He secretly wondered if Meng Shuran's fans would find him online and beat him up once this segment aired.

"Squeak..." Meng Shuran suddenly opened her eyes, looking at him with a deep gaze, her tone slightly reproachful: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Chen Yuan's cheeks flushed, and he felt a little embarrassed. He quickly looked away and said, "It's nothing. I was just curious if you could really fall asleep right away."

"Of course not," Meng Shuran muttered softly, then turned over, rested her head on the sofa armrest, and closed her eyes again. "How can I sleep soundly with someone watching me the whole time?"

"..." Chen Yuan awkwardly withdrew his gaze and picked up the book to read it carefully.

As he turned the pages, he was quickly drawn to the contents of the book, becoming increasingly engrossed in it, unaware of when Xu Zhiyi had finished selecting the book and returned.

Although he was mentally prepared, Chen Yuan was still shocked by the level of musical development in this world.

The music scene here can be described as a golden age. In the early days, a hundred flowers bloomed and various genres emerged. In the middle period, high-quality creation became the core, and masterpieces emerged frequently.

Unlike the world he was familiar with, music from here is exported very frequently, and many singers take the initiative to create English songs in order to open the door to overseas markets.

Overall, the music scene is brimming with excellent works, and hit songs are emerging one after another.

This is not only due to the mature paid music system, but also inseparable from the solid strength of the creators.

He had previously worried that releasing several good songs in a short period of time might seem too abrupt, but now it seems he had worried too much.

In the history of the world's music scene, there are many creators like him who have accumulated a wealth of experience and produced a series of masterpieces and even hit songs.

"What a hidden gem in the music scene," Chen Yuan muttered to himself as he closed the book, his worries completely dissipating.

Now, he can unleash his creative potential.

As for his collaborator, he secretly planned to see how Zhang Jianjian's song would perform later.

His thoughts returned, and Chen Yuan glanced at another unopened book beside him, but ultimately didn't touch it.

He has enough information to know.

Only then did he notice that Xu Zhiyi had already returned and was quietly reading a book, while Meng Shuran was truly fast asleep, breathing evenly.

Chen Yuan turned to look at the clock in the corner of the bookstore and realized that it was already past ten o'clock.

He picked up his slightly cooled coffee, took a sip, then leaned back on the sofa, pondering what to do next. Before long, he drifted off to sleep.

A few minutes later, Xu Zhiyi looked up at the two people sleeping soundly on either side of the sofa, and sighed helplessly, "These two are too carefree. Aren't they afraid of being talked about by the audience after the broadcast?"

That being said, the two of them were sleeping soundly and clearly didn't care at all.

Xu Zhiyi shook her head slightly and refocused her attention on the book in her hands.

When Chen Yuan woke up, he realized that he had slept for more than half an hour.

He heard Meng Shuran's cheerful laughter and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw her holding a comic book and reading it with great interest.

"Is it a comedy comic?" Chen Yuan immediately became interested and went over to look.

"Yeah, it's a funny comic I've been following, it's really interesting." Meng Shuran nodded, her eyes still glued to the pages, unwilling to look away.

Chen Yuan sat up straight, ordered another coffee from the coffee shop staff behind him, then moved the sofa closer to Meng Shuran and started reading together with her.

The comic was full of jokes, and the two of them would occasionally let out low laughter, which gradually infected Xu Zhiyi, who was standing next to them.

Before long, Xu Zhiyi put down her book and joined them. The three of them squeezed onto the sofa and enjoyed watching the show.

By the time I finished reading the comic book in my hand, it was already noon.

"I'm a little hungry, let's go eat," Chen Yuan suggested.

"Okay, let's go!" Meng Shuran and Xu Zhiyi also felt hungry at the moment, so they immediately agreed.

As a large cruise ship capable of accommodating thousands of passengers, the Star Cruises has restaurants on many decks, including the sixth deck.

Following the floor map, Chen Yuan led the two to the Western restaurant on this floor.

After lunch, he planned to go to the cinema to watch an afternoon movie.

Seeing him about to leave, Xu Zhiyi and Meng Shuran curiously followed him. "Where are you going?" Chen Yuan asked, watching the two of them walk into the elevator.

"What are you going to do?" Meng Shuran asked back, her eyes full of curiosity.

"I'm going to see an afternoon movie," Chen Yuan said, pressing the button to go to the floor where the cinema was located.

"We'll go with you!" Meng Shuran said with a smile, and before Chen Yuan could respond, she pulled Xu Zhiyi into the elevator.

Chen Yuan smiled helplessly and reminded him, "The films I choose may not be the type you like."

"It's okay, watching a movie is just for fun." Meng Shuran waved her hand dismissively.

"Yes, either way is fine," Xu Zhiyi echoed softly.

So the three of them spent the whole afternoon holed up in the cruise ship's cinema, watching two movies in a row.

When they left the cinema, it was already dusk. The warm sunset shone through the cabin windows, casting long shadows of the three of them on the wall, creating a particularly cozy scene.

Chen Yuan went to the restroom to wash his face. Just as he stepped out the door, the captain's steady voice rang out over the loudspeaker:

"Attention passengers and staff, the Starship will dock at Kagoshima Valley Port in one hour. Please prepare to disembark in advance and be sure to bring your passport, luggage and other important items with you. Do not leave anything behind."

As the announcement ended, Chen Yuan, Meng Shuran, and Xu Zhiyi exchanged glances, all seeing anticipation in each other's eyes, before walking together toward the elevator.

It's time to go back to the thirteenth floor.

Before long, all the guests gathered in the lobby on the thirteenth floor.

Under the guidance of the staff, everyone returned to their rooms to unpack their luggage.

Chen Yuan quickly packed his luggage and went to the lobby to wait.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived and took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor.

As time slowly passed, the captain personally came to see everyone off, with a gentle smile on his face: "I wish you all a smooth journey to Kagoshima, and I hope that you can find your soulmate during this trip."

He pointed out the window, "Look, everyone, this is your destination, Kagoshima."

Following his gaze, everyone saw the clear outline of Kagoshima City's buildings behind the port, arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern. Further away, a volcano was shrouded in wispy clouds, appearing and disappearing, exuding a mysterious grandeur.
