As the performance ended, Chi Linyue wiped a few tears from the corners of her eyes and joked half-seriously.
"Because I look so handso, I shouldn’t expose my face. If a talent scout from the entertainnt industry spotted , I’d debut on the spot. With my looks, wouldn’t I quickly beco a top star?"
"Haha..."
Chi Linyue was amused.
"What ti is it?"
asked Xu Lin.
"Just past eleven at night."
It was actually quite late.
"Do you want to post the video?"
Chi Linyue asked him. She watched the video, and it was just over three minutes long.
"Go ahead, let show off a bit!"
"If you’re going to show off, it’s better to share the joy; let others see that our great writer can write and play music too!"
Chi Linyue sent the video to Xu Lin, who logged into Douyin and posted the second video on the "Charming Mr. Xu" account.
After posting the video, Xu Lin logged into the writer’s platform and posted a single Chapter announcing that he had posted a piano video on Douyin.
"Here it is!"
"The author can play the piano too? I’m going to check it out!"
"A new work? Wait, a piano?"
"Author, I downloaded Douyin just for you!"
Xu Lin now had several ten thousand followers on Douyin, but those followers didn’t necessarily care about his works.
However, on the novel platform, quite a few people were switching over to watch.
These were Xu Lin’s loyal fans.
People clicked open the video, and it was still one without showing his head or lower body; all they could see was Xu Lin playing the piano.
As soon as the video started, a somber and emotional piano tune played.
Before long, people were moved and feeling emo.
"It’s back! Damn, it’s still that sa feeling!"
"I’m really afraid the author will suddenly snap and give us an emo ending."
"No way?"
"Wow, Mr. Xu plays the piano so well! Are we sure it’s the sa person?"
"You can tell from the body shape; it’s the sa person!"
"Isn’t the author so talented? Such great writing, composing, guitar playing, and now piano playing—truly overflowing with talent!"
People were engaged in discussion, marveling at Xu Lin’s talent.
A little past eleven.
Rong Xiyi and the others still hadn’t gone to sleep.
Xu Lin hadn’t replied to Rong Xiyi’s ssages, making it so that she wasn’t in the mood for sleep.
Now Rong Xiyi lay in bed staring at her phone, waiting for Xu Lin to reply.
But from the afternoon till now, Xu Lin hadn’t replied to her once, not even a punctuation mark.
"Yaoyao, he’s really ignoring !"
"Or is he sleeping with another woman?"
Rong Xiyi was feeling down.
As for Xia Xiyao, she saw Xu Lin’s Chapter and imdiately clicked on the newly posted video by Xu Lin.
It was the sa piece from earlier, but now a piano version.
"Mr. Xu can play the piano too?"
Xia Xiyao listened intently.
Rong Xiyi lay on the bed, glancing at Xia Xiyao.
"Yaoyao, what are you listening to?"
"Listening to the piano piece!"
"Oh."
Rong Xiyi wasn’t fond of sad music, and she was in a bad mood and not interested in listening to any piano piece. She just kept ssaging Xu Lin, trying to find out what he was doing.
On the other hand, Xia Xiyao quickly finished listening to the piano piece. While wanting more, she felt a bit sad and depressed.
The power of Xu Lin’s composition was overwhelming.
Then, she scrolled down to Xu Lin’s other video, the one where he played the guitar.
Hmm?
It was at this mont that Xia Xiyao noticed sothing.
She paused the video, looked at the window, then looked at the video, looked at the window again, and looked at the video, repeatedly.
And that guitar.
!
The corners of Xia Xiyao’s mouth twitched.
Isn’t the room in the video identical to the one she’s currently in?
So, the person playing the guitar must be Xu Lin, and the one playing the piano too.
And the author Mr. Xu is also Xu Lin!
Xia Xiyao thought about the comnts she’d posted over these days in the novel, like expressing admiration for Mr. Xu’s talent, blah blah blah, adding up to thousands of words.
Xia Xiyao felt slightly depressed.
"I’m speechless!"
"Yaoyao, what’s wrong?"
Rong Xiyi couldn’t help but turn around and ask.
"Nothing... nothing."
Xia Xiyao shook her head.
She never expected that soone she had recently admired was actually the scumbag Xu Lin.
Of course, Xia Xiyao wasn’t going to fall for soone she’d never t online just by reading a book, like those naive female protagonists in TV dramas or movies, fantasizing about the person being not only talented but also incredibly handso.
Isn’t that just delusional? Xia Xiyao wasn’t like that.
Xia Xiyao just found it absurd since Xu Lin was Mr. Xu!
There was nothing more speechless than this.
Coincidence didn’t even begin to cover it!
"Aaaaah! How could I co across such a thing?"
Xia Xiyao was going crazy inside.
She quickly opened the details page of the book "My 26-year-old Miss Maybach" and imdiately removed it from her bookshelf.
She couldn’t bear to look at the book anymore.
"Can’t read a book written by such a scumbag!"
"Ugh!"
"Scumbag!"
"A scumbag, worse than a stray dog!"
Xia Xiyao exited the app, full of disdain for Xu Lin.
But, not long after.
At eleven thirty, Xia Xiyao rembered that the novel updated at precisely eleven thirty.
Since she had removed it from her bookshelf, there were no notifications from the platform.
