Chapter 212 – The First To Receive Premium Dog Food
Perhaps it was because it was dark, or maybe it was because she was too nervous, but it wasn’t until the next day, when Mo Fei, after sending Xixi to school, took the opportunity, while many students were in class and not visiting the coffee shop in the morning, to play the piano, that Ding Xiang suddenly remembered.1Simpler version: Perhaps it was because it was dark, or maybe it was because she was too nervous, but it wasn’t until the next day, when Mo Fei after doing these things, that Ding Xiang suddenly remembered.
“Oh, Sister Fei! Aren’t you that… that…” Ding Xiang couldn’t remember, so she quickly run to the shelf next to the bar and took down an album, “Yes, it’s this one, the singer, right?”
Every day, while doing the cleaning, she learned from Yang Yi and used a feather duster to sweep off the dust from the shelves. So, she had naturally seen Mo Fei many times2I think from the picture in the album. No wonder she felt strangely familiar!
“Yes, but you can’t tell anyone!” Mo Fei stopped her hands and smiled slightly. In fact, she had already anticipated Ding Xiang’s reaction, but what she didn’t expect was that Ding Xiang’s reflex arc was so long.
“Definitely not!” Ding Xiang quickly waved her hand and even raised her finger to swear. “I absolutely won’t tell anyone. If I do, then…”
“Okay, okay, don’t take it so seriously!” Mo Fei smiled and grabbed the girl, saying, “It’s not a big deal. I just don’t want others to know because I’m afraid it will affect our peaceful life.”
Ding Xiang quickly nodded.
However, it was clear that this matter could not be hidden from the second person.
Guo Ziyi!
This guy ran over to the coffee shop excitedly after finishing his morning class, looking for Yang Yi. He said, “Big Brother Yang, let me tell you. The program for our freshmen’s party has been adjusted. And my performance has not been merged by the director, so I can continue to sing solo. Guess who the director is?”
“Who is the director?” Yang Yi asked as he glance at Mo Fei, who was arranging flowers with Ding Xiang in the shop, and then lowered his voice to Guo Ziyi and said, “Remember, don’t reveal that I am Mu Li’ang!”
“I didn’t say anything. I just accidentally let it slip last time and let senior sister know.” Guo Ziyi was confused but still lowered his voice.
“Just remember it!” Yang Yi nodded and said, “I’ve already reminded Ding Xiang.”
Although Ding Xiang had seen Yang Yi selecting songs for Guo Ziyi and knew that Yang Yi had written songs before, she really had no understanding of the entertainment industry. After recognizing Mo Fei this morning, she didn’t even connect the two things together, so she gave Yang Yi the opportunity to remind her privately.
However, Ding Xiang didn’t really think too much about it. She didn’t even have the most basic concept of which songs Mo Fei had sung and who had written them. She would just do whatever the boss said to do.
After finishing their whispered conversation, Yang Yi nudged Guo Ziyi and asked, “Who is that director you were talking about?”
“Oh, that director is Du Yuanlei! She’s the graduate student senior sister that I like! Wow, she’s so cool! Big Brother Yang, you don’t know, when I saw her this morning, my heart almost jumped out of my chest!” Guo Ziyi chuckled and said, “I think she didn’t merge my song because she’s interested in me!”
Yang Yi was a little speechless about his inexplicable narcissism.
“What do you mean?” Ding Xiang and Mo Fei heard the commotion and walked over, with Ding Xiang asking curiously.
“No, I meant today’s class was not very interesting!” Guo Ziyi thought about the fact that the song he was going to sing was also written by Yang Yi, afraid of making too many mistakes, he quickly changed his words.
“This is Guo Ziyi, a friend I’ve told you about, and this is Xixi’s mother, Mo Fei,” Yang Yi introduced Mo Fei to Guo Ziyi.
Yang Yi didn’t mean anything by it, but Mo Fei was still a little concerned about the change in title, and there was a slight bitterness in her heart. But fortunately, Guo Ziyi was a boy, so Mo Fei didn’t think too much about it, and just nodded at Guo Ziyi and said, “Hello!”
When Guo Ziyi heard Yang Yi introduce Mo Fei, he was already stunned. He wasn’t like Ding Xiang. When he carefully looked at Mo Fei’s appearance, he recognized her. Then, Yang Yi’s words kept replaying in his mind: “This is Xixi’s mother…”
“Xixi’s mother!”
Guo Ziyi took a deep breath and stammered, “Sister-in-law, sister-in-law is really Mo Fei?”
“That’s right, she’s the owner of all those CDs on Big Brother Yang’s shelf, and Sister Fei is a star!” Ding Xiang also introduced to Guo Ziyi. “But don’t tell anyone, it will cause trouble for Brother Yang and Sister Fei.”
Mo Fei was overjoyed by how Guo Ziyi addressed her3He addressed her as “sister-in-law”, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face: “That’s right.”
Guo Ziyi quickly nodded, but there was a strange glint in his eyes as he looked back and forth between Mo Fei and Yang Yi.
Mo Fei noticed Guo Ziyi’s gaze and felt a bit puzzled. However, she didn’t think too much about it, thinking that Guo Ziyi was surprised by her relationship with Yang Yi, as there was still a bit of a gap in status.
At this moment, the wind chime at the door made a pleasant sound, indicating that a customer has arrived!
Mo Fei quickly apologized and returned to her more secluded booth. Ding Xiang also helped Mo Fei by actively greeting the customer and covering for Mo Fei.
Guo Ziyi finally had a chance to talk, and he couldn’t hold back his words. He immediately pulled Yang Yi to the side and apologetically said, “Big Brother Yang, I didn’t know that Mo Fei was sister-in-law. Before, when her comeback album was doing poorly, I even… found it funny. I’m sorry…”
This guy could be quite straightforward at times.
“It’s okay, that was all before you knew.” Yang Yi smiled slightly and didn’t mind.
“But Big Brother Yang, you’re so good at writing songs, why don’t you write a few songs for sister-in-law? And why hide it? Is it because you only know how to write songs for male singers? But that’s okay. If you explain it clearly to sister-in-law, she probably won’t mind, right?” Guo Ziyi frowned. This was what he really wanted to say.
“That’s not the issue. There’s a reason why I hid my identity, but I can’t tell you this reason,” Yang Yi smiled and said to Guo Ziyi, “But how did you know I haven’t written songs for her?”
“Have you written any for her? But didn’t Mu Li’ang only write songs for Chen Yijie?” Guo Ziyi was confused.
“Go back and look at the entertainment news!” Yang Yi patted Guo Ziyi’s head and walked away with a chuckle.
…
Recently, Guo Ziyi has been busy preparing for the freshman party, and he even borrowed Yang Yi’s guitar to practice. How could he have time to read entertainment news?
It wasn’t until he returned to his dormitory with a confused look on his face and searched online on his computer that he saw the news of Mo Fei singing Mu Li’ang’s new song on some portal websites.
“”Across the Ocean to See You,” just the name alone sounds so romantic!” Guo Ziyi muttered in admiration.
He scrolled down with his mouse, and his eyes nearly popped out: “Wow, he wrote 12 songs! This… this is secretly throwing dog food!”4(Note: “throwing dog food” is a Chinese slang term that means to show off one’s romantic relationship in front of single people.)
Guo Ziyi didn’t know it, but he was currently the only one who had received this premium dog food.
“However, I don’t know why Big Brother Yang hid this from Sister Mo Fei!” Guo Ziyi muttered to himself. “But I think this is a big deal, hehehe!”
