Chapter 3393 Liuliu's New Song

Chapter 3393 Liuliu's New Song

As night deepened, Little Red Pony Academy gradually quieted down.

The children were picked up by their parents one by one, and a few were still sleeping in the dormitory on the second floor.

Xiaobai was called home by her grandmother. After taking a shower, she came out of the bathroom in her pajamas, her hair wet and hanging over her shoulders.

She walked into the living room and saw Zhang Tan sitting on the sofa playing on his phone.

"You'll go blind!" Xiaobai warned.

Zhang Tan quickly put away his phone: "Are you done washing? Here, let me blow-dry your hair."

"Have it."

Xiao Bai sat down in front of the mirror. Zhang Tan picked up the hairdryer, and the warm air blew on her hair. Xiao Bai squinted her eyes.

"Old man, tell me a bedtime story tonight."

Zhang Tan kept his hands busy: "Tell a story? Sure, but didn't you say you're all grown up and don't need me to tell stories anymore? It's been half a year since you asked me to."

Xiao Bai shook his head: "Do you want to hear it today? I really need it!"

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "Okay, no problem. What kind of story would you like to hear?"

"Whatever, you can say whatever you want."

After drying her hair, Xiaobai climbed onto the bed, burrowed under the covers, and only her little head was sticking out.

Zhang Tan moved a chair to sit on the edge of the bed, thought for a moment, and said, "Then let's continue telling the story of the Little Prince."

"Get it!"

"Once upon a time, the Little Prince came to a planet..."

The story unfolded slowly, and Xiaobai listened attentively.

After the story was finished, Xiaobai wasn't sleepy at all; instead, she was even more energetic.

She rolled over, lying on her side, and looked at Zhang Tan, asking, "Old man, how's your new movie coming along?"

Zhang sighed, "The script is almost finished."

"Could you reserve a role for Liuliu?"

"Did Liuliu send you to say this?"

"No, no! It was my own idea. Although Liuliu can be annoying sometimes, she's serious about acting and has helped me a lot. Besides, she hasn't acted in a long time, and the audience has almost forgotten about her. Please give her a chance."

Zhang Tan laughed: "You certainly know how to think of your friends."

"The character needs to be memorable!"

Xiao Bai added, "It can't be a minor role that only appears briefly; it has to be a significant part, allowing Liu Liu to shine."

"When have I ever given her a fleeting, insignificant role!"

Zhang Tan said, "There just happens to be a role that's perfect for Liu Liu. She has a lot of screen time and it's quite interesting."

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up: "Really? What kind of role?"

"Keep it a secret for now."

Zhang Tan kept everyone in suspense: "I'll tell you when the script is finalized."

"Get it!"

Xiao Bai was delighted and said, "Old man, save the assistant director position for me."

"You have class, you don't have time."

"I can go this weekend, hey, can you reserve an assistant director position for me?"

"Okay, okay."

"By the way, old man, what did Liuliu want to see you about tonight? I almost forgot to ask."

Zhang Tan chuckled inwardly; so this was what they were waiting for.

"She came to me asking me to write a song."

Xiao Bai was taken aback: "Write a song? What kind of song?"

"She said she wanted a song of her own that represented her personal style."

Zhang Tan recounted Liu Liu's requests, including those that were "cool and cute," "dynamic," and "demonstrated intelligence and courage."

After hearing this, Xiaobai's face hardened: "Shovel! I knew she secretly wanted to see you! She even said she was here to comfort you and wanted to sing you a song!"

Zhang sighed and said with a smile, "She brought watermelon and cherry tomatoes."

"You were bought off with that little bit of stuff?"

Xiao Bai pouted, then suddenly realized something: "Hey! Robin's garden has some cherry tomatoes missing tonight! Could it be Liu Liu who picked them?! That silly girl!!!"

"Do you think I should write to her?" Zhang asked.

Xiao Bai thought for a moment, and although he was unhappy, he still said, "Write it, write it. Although Liu Liu is annoying, if the song is well written, it will make our Little Red Horse proud. Old man, you have to write a good song! You can't just do a perfunctory job!"

Zhang Tan patted her head: "Don't worry, when have I ever been perfunctory when writing songs?"

"That's more like it."

Xiao Bai was satisfied and yawned: "I'm sleepy, goodnight, old man."

"Good night."

Zhang Tan turned off the desk lamp, tiptoed out of the room, and closed the door behind him.

The next evening, not long after Little Red Horse Academy opened, Liuliu rushed in like a gust of wind, her eyes searching everywhere.

"Where's Boss Zhang? Has Boss Zhang arrived yet?" She caught up with Xiaobai, who was talking to Xier.

Xiao Bai could tell what she was thinking from her impatient look: "My father hasn't arrived yet, what's the rush?"

"I was just concerned about Mr. Zhang!"

Liu Liu rubbed her hands together and chuckled, "I've missed him terribly since I haven't seen him all day."

Robin appeared out of nowhere and said in a crisp voice, "Liuliu, why are you missing my uncle? Do you want to borrow money again?"

"Who wants to borrow money! Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"

Liu Liu glared at him: "When did I ever borrow money from Boss Zhang?! Don't talk nonsense! I have important business to discuss with Boss Zhang!"

"The real business of songwriting?" Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

Liu Liu was taken aback, then realized that Xiao Bai already knew, so she stopped hiding it: "That's right! Boss Zhang promised to write a song for me! I have to ask about the progress! This song is related to my artistic career, to the image of our Little Red Horse, to our friendship, to..."

"Alright, alright!"

Xiao Bai interrupted her long-winded speech: "My old man will be here soon, you just wait."

Liu Liu laughed and saw that Du Du was handing out popsicles, so she immediately went over and asked for one to lick and eat.

About twenty minutes later, Zhang Tan appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Liuliu's eyes lit up, and she jumped up like a spring and rushed over.

Robin, wielding the "Devil's Horn," chased after her.

"Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang! You've finally arrived!"

Zhang Tan was taken aback by her enthusiasm: "Liu Liu? Is something wrong?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely!"

Liu Liu followed beside him, saying as they walked, "Boss Zhang, I just wanted to ask, is my song finished yet?"

Zhang Tan told the truth: "Not yet, it's only been a day, how can it be so fast? I'm quite busy today."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Liuliu's face, but she immediately put on a smile again: "It's okay, it's okay! Mr. Zhang, take your time writing, I'm not in a hurry, not at all! Really!"

She said she wasn't in a hurry, but her actions betrayed her, and she followed Zhang Tan closely.

"Boss Zhang, you've worked so hard writing songs, you need to take a break! Look at you, you're so worried about us kids, it breaks my heart!"

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "I'm fine, it's not tiring at all."

"How could it not be hard work! Writing songs takes so much brainpower! You need inspiration, creativity, and repeated revisions! Boss Zhang, you must have stayed up all night writing this, right? You've got dark circles under your eyes!" Liu Liu's serious expression made even herself believe it.

Zhang Tan subconsciously touched his eyes: "Really?"

No wonder his eyes felt sore all day.

Yes! Very obvious!

Liuliu nodded vigorously.

"Boss Zhang, let me treat you to some snacks under the overpass! Relax, there's a really good barbecue place over there, and they also have stinky tofu, grilled cold noodles, grilled squid... whatever you want to eat, it's on me!"

Zhang Tan was amused by her: "You're treating?"

Liu Liu patted her chest and said confidently, "Of course! I, Liu Liu, keep my word! Although I don't have much pocket money, I can still afford to treat Boss Zhang to some snacks! Let's go! Let's go now!"

That's a very assertive statement, so she might actually be rich!

Zhang Tan smiled and shook his head: "Alright, I appreciate your kindness. I'll write the song well, don't worry."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang! You're such a great person! The best boss in the world! The most amazing musician! The most..."

"alright."

Zhang Tan quickly interrupted her from randomly giving out friend cards: "I'm going to find the headmaster, you go play."

"Alright! Take care, Mr. Zhang!"

Liu Liu watched Zhang Tan enter the building before turning around with satisfaction to find Du Du.

Robin leaned over and asked, "Liuliu, did my uncle agree to write a song for you?"

Liu Liu said smugly, "Of course! Boss Zhang promised himself! He even said he'd write me a great song!"

"So you agreed to treat him to dinner?"

"That's right! Let him order whatever he wants from the food stalls under the overpass!"

Robin blinked: "Liuliu, do you have money? Do you still owe me money?"

Liuliu was furious: "When did I owe you money?! You brat! Don't talk nonsense!"

Robin chuckled and said he had misremembered.

On the third night, Zhang Tan finally finished writing the song.

Liuliu arrived at Little Red Horse early, and Zhang Tan handed her the sheet music: "The song is finished, take a look."

"Hahaha~~~ Boss Zhang is awesome!!"

Liu Liu took the paper with both hands, as if holding a royal decree, and carefully unfolded it. The paper had sheet music and lyrics written on it, and the song title was: "I Am a Little Sun".

"I Am a Little Sun?"

As Liuliu read it aloud, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

She eagerly looked down at the lyrics:

"I am a little sun, full of positive energy~"

Wake up laughing in the morning, and sleep soundly at night!

Helping friends is the best thing I can do; I don't panic when I encounter difficulties.

Smiles are as bright as sunshine, illuminating every friend~

I am a little sun, full of energy and shining brightly~

I can sing and dance, and acting is my specialty!

Although I can be mischievous sometimes, I have a kind heart.

Like a little sun, warming our hearts~

La la la~ Little Sun~

La la la~ Shining brightly~

Be happy every day, like the rising sun!

I'm like a little sun, spreading happiness far and wide!

The lyrics are simple and catchy, but the melody? She doesn't know the melody; although she's had a few music lessons, she hasn't learned the musical notes and can't read sheet music!

But she believed that the songs written by Mr. Zhang would be good!

She likes the lyrics very much just by looking at them now.
