Chapter 121

"It's possible, but it's still not enough. Besides, the two words 'marriage' are far too cliché," said music critic Teacher Guo.

"In your opinion?"

Teacher Guo thought for a moment. "In Shiguang's song, that 'marriage' in the lyrics is just a point that tears one's heart apart. To put it plainly, it's like this: if we love each other so deeply, shouldn't marriage be taken for granted? Yet in reality, it is not so simple."

"So, the inability to marry is the key point."

"The inability to marry?"

"The reason we cannot marry is that we cannot be together. Whatever the cause, that is the key point."

"Then, what should it be called?"

Teacher Guo thought for a moment. "I Want to Be With You—this name might be better."

"Then make it even shorter. If we remove the emotional phrase 'I want', would that be better?"

"Sure." Teacher Guo nodded. "The Iceberg Theory, of course, can be applied to the technique of naming songs, right?"

"Alright." Fang Lan nodded, stood up, and said, "Then, this fifth song, 'Be With You', is officially recorded. Starting tomorrow, post-production can begin."

Everyone nodded and stood up as well.

Tonight was too late.

Two in the morning.

The commotion in Shiguang's livestream room finally began to gradually subside.

That night, the viewers in this livestream room were somewhat strange.

Not a single extra bullet comment spoke of anything else.

Originally a chat room, Shiguang's livestream room, on this night,

became a check-in wall.

After two o'clock, this commotion finally grew calmer and calmer.

However, the number of viewers online in the livestream room did not decrease because of this.

Many people, in their small nests where they lived alone,

with complex emotions, or thinking of their own stories, wiping away tears,

followed streamer Shiguang, singing that song over and over again.

They did not know why this streamer would sing such a song.

They did not know what this streamer had actually experienced.

But that did not matter.

What mattered was that tonight, everyone remembered that exclusive memory belonging only to them.

Inside the motorhome.

Wang Yue was no longer crying.

She wiped away her tears and sat in the passenger seat.

Her head leaned against the car window, her gaze fixed on the lonely figure by the lake in the distance, who had already stopped singing.

Ning Chen looked at the blue Namtso before him.

In the sky, the crescent moon remained bright.

This song was the one he wanted to sing tonight.

He had sung it many times.

But now, he did not feel any better.

The photo had been taken, and the check-in was complete.

In his mind,

the system's prompt sound finally arrived.

【Congratulations, Host!】

【Completed the Namtso travel check-in task】

【Rewards obtained】

Ning Chen looked at the rewards in his mind.

The light in his eyes began to flicker.

【Rewards】

【Reward: Travel funds 1 million (Current savings 1.76 million)】

Regarding the savings funds.

Previously, when he left Donghai, he went to the city orphanage and opened a dedicated account for that Little Jiujiu, the young girl named Zhang Xiao, depositing 200,000 yuan into it.

【Reward: Black Blade (Cold Weapon)】

【Reward: SSS-level Insight (Temporary Attribute)】

【Reward: Disguise·Stalker (Functional Effect)】

【Reward: Clue Fragment *1】

【The next travel check-in task has appeared, waiting to be unlocked】

【Unlock condition: Obtain the Explorer title to unlock the next travel check-in task, and simultaneously upgrade the SSS-level Insight from a temporary attribute to a permanent attribute】

Ning Chen looked at that Clue Fragment.

He blinked his eyes.

Just as he was about to stand up,

suddenly, another voice came in his mind:

【Ding-dong! Extra exploration task detected~】

【Navigation generated. Host may choose to accept or decline.】

Ning Chen was somewhat surprised.

An extra exploration mission?

In his mind, a new navigation route appeared.

Ning Chen saw it.

This route was not the way back.

Nor was it the route to Lhasa City.

Instead, it passed through Lhasa City and continued onward toward the heart of the Tibetan hinterland.

Ning Chen understood in his heart.

However, now, he needed to rest a while.

He rose and headed for the motorhome.

Inside the motorhome, in the driver's seat, the Miss named Wang Yue lay with her eyes closed, appearing to sleep very soundly.

The nights in the Tibetan region are cold; for those who sleep, dewdrops still cling to their eyelashes.

Ning Chen turned and entered the motorhome.

After he went in, Wang Yue's eyes slowly opened.

87. (4/7) When you no longer possess anything, the only thing you can do (requesting monthly tickets and self-subscriptions)

The next day.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Ning Chen opened his eyes.

Sunlight from outside the window fell upon the bed.

After washing and dressing.

He went to the driver's seat and found that Wang Yue was not there.

He looked outside.

She was walking along the shore of Namtso Lake.

The car window slowly rolled down; Ning Chen called out to her, "Let's go!"

Wang Yue returned.

After washing up in the rear, she climbed back into the front passenger seat.

She was much quieter than before.

Ning Chen raised his hand and started the motorhome.

"Next, we will pass through Lhasa; at that time, you may get off."
