Interview (3)

Wu Jinyan stared at the phone screen with a pitiful look. She was really concerned about the foolish people who were blindly believing the woman who continuously spewed nonsense.

She was glad she wasn't a stupid person anymore. With the lessons she learnt in the past, she was no longer an innocent, naive and dumb woman.

"The lyrics to my latest song 'Endure' were penned by me and my friend, Robert. He's also a singer and songwriter..." Li Xiaoyi introduced the man next to her. She then turned to look at him and smiled before continuing "I'm truly thankful to him for working together with me..."

Robert! He wrote the song? What the...!

Wu Jinyan didn't listen to what Li Xiaoyi said anymore and transfixed her gaze upon the foreign man next to Li Xiaoyi. She found him familiar for some reason but couldn't recognise him spontaneously.

She met a lot of people in those three years when she was overseas and she more or less remembered all the people she had contacted. But she couldn't remember this one particular man whom she found strikingly familiar.

She initially thought he could be some random person she specifically noticed on the street or someone she saw on TV.

But he was actually a singer?

She should take this issue a little more seriously. It seemed she had to fight against not one but two singers who colluded together and stole her work.

She knew thinking about something for prolonged periods would give her no solutions but only severe headaches. So, she didn't think too much about that foreigner, simply stopped watching the interview and immediately threw the phone away.

Mu Feng who sat next to her was completely drawn into the interview and instantly got annoyed because of Wu Jinyan's actions. He was really curious to know what Li Xiaoyi would say next.

He picked his own mobile in hopes to watch the interview but Wu Jinyan was a step ahead. She stood up from the sofa and snatched his mobile from his hands right away. She then took a few steps back to maintain some distance from him.

"Jinyan, give me my mobile back. I want to watch the interview" Mu Feng bolted up from the sofa to get his mobile back from Wu Jinyan but he stopped his movements when he saw her lips curving up into a mocking smile.

"Are you that curious to know what she'll be talking next? I never thought you'd be that interested in such trash!" Wu Jinyan spoke with an expression of contempt. Her voice was smooth but her gaze was as cold as glacier.

Mu Feng instantly felt cold shivers running down his spine when his eyes met with her chilling gaze. He stood in a daze on facing her coldness and he didn't dare speak in fear she would throw a tantrum and pull his hair out again.

He immediately covered his thick black hair with his palms to keep it out of her line of sight. At that moment, he thought nothing was more important than his hair. He would do anything as long as he could save his hair.

Wu Jinyan thought at least he would understand her and know how terrible she was feeling inside. Her mind was clumsy and her heart was aching profusely. Instead of comforting her, he seemed to be more interested in something else. Something that was disturbing her.

Useless fool!

She was extremely disappointed with him and intended to kick him out the very moment. She opened her mouth again to lash on him but she immediately shut her mouth when realisation dawned upon her.

'No. I can't get angry with him'

She required his help and she couldn't act harsh towards him now when he's the only thread she could hold onto.

She knew many people who would never hesitate to help her but those people were all on the other side of the world. In the place she's living now and the situation she was facing at the present moment, only Mu Feng could help her. She balled her fists tight and took a deep breath to cool down her raging heart.

"Mu Feng...Just forget about her interview" She blinked her eyes like a cute little girl and continued with a curious expression as she played with her hair "Tell me when are you going to release your new song?"

She spoke unhurriedly in her sweet voice. Her voice was soft and warm and she appeared extremely calm and composed. But the pain in her heart was increasing tremendously with every passing second.

If not for her deep determination, she would've slumped down long ago with how heavily her heart was hurt. She couldn't lose the fight without giving it her shot. She had to stay strong and face the opponent without fear or hesitation. 

Mu Feng's heart jotled up in shock not on seeing her cute behaviour but on hearing her words. He looked at her in bewilderment as he didn't understand why she was so adamant on making him suffer all the time. He didn't know what to say and stood like a statue.

He loved music and chose singing as his profession but he never wanted to compete with or take down or pressure others. He simply wanted to make good music and see people smile on listening the songs he created. He just wanted to spread happiness.

But why was he getting pushed when her work was stolen by others?

Wu Jinyan was turning impatient with him acting dumb and clueless. Staring deep into Mu Feng's confused eyes, she muttered in an angered voice bringing him back from his daze "Your beloved friend was hurt by her. I want to drag her down and I want your help" 

Mu Feng let out a simple"Oh.." How could he bring himself to speak when he was asked to act out of his principles? He couldn't do something like what she asked him when he's still conscious and alive. 

"Oh? You just said Oh?!" Wu Jinyan exclaimed, gritting her teeth ready to attack his hair.
