Chapter 288: The Way of Jealousy Is Terrifying

Gu Yunting and Ling Feng, the two men, looked at each other.

After all, this was Han Yangting's place, so they couldn't exactly get into a fight.

Bai Shunan, on the other hand, was laughing out loud.

Mou Lili was also laughing; she patted Ling Feng on the arm and added, "Alright, stop making a fool of yourself, hurry up and go back."

"Am I making a fool of myself?" Ling Feng asked.

Mou Lili said, "You two look like two children fighting over a toy, extremely childish."

On the other side, Bai Shuruo was surprised and laughing at the same time.

She asked Han Yangting, "The way men get jealous is so terrifying."

Han Yangting said, "You're only just realizing that?"

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but ask, "Then will you get jealous for me?"

"Of course, the way I get jealous is even more terrifying."

"How is it terrifying?"

"I would send my rival to Africa to feed the lions."

Bai Shuruo: "..."

After leaving the Manor, Ling Feng dropped Mou Lili off downstairs at her apartment building.

After the car was parked, Mou Lili glanced at Ling Feng and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Of course I'm alright. Today wasn't a pleasant day, look at how happily I was laughing at the Manor," Ling Feng said.

Mou Lili smiled.

She suddenly leaned in close to him, turned his face toward her, and then kissed him on the face.

"What are you doing?" Ling Feng asked subconsciously, "This wonderful day is already over, we don't need to keep playing lovers. Are you addicted to acting, or do you actually like me?"

"Of course I don't like you," Mou Lili said, "I just think that you've been acting all day and must be tired. People should learn to let go of what they should let go of. If something doesn't belong to me, even if you force it, you won't get it; it's better to just bless her gracefully. So, this kiss of mine was meant as encouragement."

Ling Feng smiled, looking like a fool.

Before he met Bai Shunan, he didn't know what it felt like to have his heart broken.

There had been girls he dated who came to him to pour out their own pain, but no matter how hard Ling Feng tried, he couldn't feel it.

Later, with Bai Shunan, he finally felt it!

She was the girl he could never get no matter how hard he tried.

He had tried to let go, so he first returned to Beishi and tried to sleep with a hot girl just like he used to.

But it was useless; there was always a part of his heart that was empty, and it could never be filled.

He turned around and asked Mou Lili, "You told me to let go, so have you let go yourself? For example, you and your ex-boyfriend."

Mou Lili took a cigarette out of her bag, lit it, and then exhaled a perfect smoke ring: "I let go a long time ago."

"Are you lying?"

"Believe it or not." Mou Lili opened the car door and got out.

"Hey! You're just leaving like that?" Ling Feng really wanted to find someone to sleep with right now.

Or rather, find a pillow to lean on.

Mou Lili bent down, blew a puff of smoke into the car, and gave him a charming smile: "Want to sleep with me? Sorry, our acting is over, no need to act anymore. If you're really sad, go home and sing love songs loudly; it's very effective."

Mou Lili didn't know if Ling Feng sang after he went back.

She, however, did sing.

She had always liked singing, ever since she was a child, and later she taught herself the guitar; she never expected this would become a means of making a living.

Therefore, even if she didn't go to the bar to sing anymore, she would still persist in singing.

Thinking of what the bar manager said about singing songs that could stir up the atmosphere, she wanted to try and learn some.

However, when she saw the various alluring dance moves of the girl groups in the music videos, she dismissed the idea.

It wasn't that this kind of thing didn't look good, but that everyone had a style that suited them, and there was no need to force herself to change her style for the market.

What she liked most was folk and rock; she liked Li Jian, Wang Feng, Chen Li, and Cheer Chen, and she also liked Faye Wong and Jay Chou.

So, she picked up her guitar and sang "Journey."

After finishing the song, a scene from the Manor today suddenly appeared in her mind.

The blue sky, white clouds, the white sunshade, and the two men flying a kite.

For some reason, a melody suddenly appeared in her mind, so she quickly wrote it down.

Next, she wanted to write lyrics for this melody.

"... The wild geese flying away, the falling leaves, time doesn't even have time to sigh; the rustling showers, the noisy city, the streets are in total silence..."

After writing it, she named this song "One Day."

After that, she wrote the song out completely and revised it while playing and singing it herself.

Until it was changed to a version she was satisfied with.

By the time she finished all this, it was already late at night.

Mou Lili stretched and moved her limbs.

But she still felt no sleepiness.

Later, she had a sudden inspiration: this was the era of self-media, where everyone could promote themselves, so why couldn't she?

Thinking of this, Mou Lili immediately opened an account on TikTok, dressed up, put on a fox mask, and started filming videos of herself playing and singing.

"Today, I'm bringing you a song I wrote the lyrics and music for myself, 'One Day.' I hope everyone likes it."

After finishing all this, Mou Lili finally went to bed.

……

During the day, Mou Lili worked at an e-commerce company as a copywriting planner.

She didn't know why, but ever since she stopped singing at the bar, she felt her work had also started to become dull.

In the past, she could think of many selling points for a single product, but now, looking at these products, she always felt it was pointless.

She let out a yawn, feeling that this was probably because she had been influenced by Ling Feng.

In society, no matter what kind of work we do, we must be fully invested, otherwise your state of mind will be reflected in the results.

Sure enough, that afternoon, Mou Lili was called in by her boss and scolded: "What kind of bullshit planning proposal is this? You are already an experienced employee who has worked for seven or eight years; you can't even compare to a fresh college graduate..."

Mou Lili knew it was her own problem; she did not make excuses and only said she would redo it.

However, after returning, she sat in front of the computer for a long time but still had no ideas; her mind was a tangled mess, and she didn't know where to start.

She hadn't been like this before; in the past, she was full of passion for every job.

Just as Mou Lili was racking her brains, her colleague Wu Ailing walked over.

"Sister Mou, have you finished your copy? If you really can't do it, just let me do it; the client is waiting for this copy."

Mou Lili asked, "Did the boss send you?"

"Yes."

"Then you do it," Mou Lili said.

At the same time, she took a deep, cold breath in her heart.

This society is just that cruel; if you slack off even a little, there are plenty of people waiting to step in behind you, and the world can keep spinning without anyone.

The reason the boss had Wu Ailing come over to take over was to give her a warning: if you want to do the work, do it; if you don't want to do it, get out.

With no work on hand, Mou Lili suddenly felt relaxed.

However, in a private enterprise, the thing to fear most is having nothing to do; having nothing to do means you can get out.

The boss won't lay you off, but will wait for you to resign yourself, so that compensation can be avoided.

Mou Lili did not resign on her own initiative, feeling that she could still struggle a bit; if she couldn't write it today, maybe she would be able to write it tomorrow?

……

Having finally made it to the end of the workday, Mou Lili took out her phone and suddenly discovered that the song she sang on TikTok had a very high number of views, and there were many comments below, all saying she sang beautifully, along with some heads of music production companies who wanted to talk to her about whether they could buy the copyright to this song.
