AFVSIBS **Chapter 206: No Words to Describe Zhou Chen's Talent**

Zhou Chen, upon seeing Su Qingge's message, remembered that she was also in ASU City.

"I'm staying at the Sofitel Hotel. Where are you staying?" Zhou Chen replied.

"I'm at the Garden Hotel. I wanted to stay at the Sofitel too, but my manager said all the good rooms were booked, so I had to stay at the Garden," Su Qingge responded.

"Alright, let's have dinner near the Garden Hotel," Zhou Chen agreed.

However, after agreeing, he recalled another commitment with Yang Hanhang. Last night, after swimming with Yang Hanhang, they had planned to have a meal together tonight. Now he had promised both parties. What should he do?

Zhou Chen didn't want to cancel on Su Qingge, so he decided to see if Yang Hanhang could join them. Since Su Qingge and Yang Hanhang had met at events before, there wouldn’t be any awkwardness.

After finishing his conversation with Su Qingge, Zhou Chen quickly messaged Yang Hanhang.

Yang Hanhang was working on a new song when she saw Zhou Chen's message. Initially, she felt a bit jealous, but then she thought about Zhou Chen and Su Qingge's relationship. They were both from the same hometown and schoolmates, so it was normal for them to meet up in a different city. Besides, her relationship with Zhou Chen was just that of ordinary friends, so she had no reason to be jealous.

"Why am I so silly? Zhou Chen inviting me to join them for dinner means there's nothing between him and Su Qingge. If there were, he wouldn't ask me to come along," Yang Hanhang thought to herself with a silly smile.

Like any woman who has never been in love, Yang Hanhang, even as a rising star, couldn’t help but overthink when she liked someone.

Yang Hanhang quickly replied to Zhou Chen, saying she had no issues with the plan.

Zhou Chen, seeing her response, didn't continue the conversation. It was time for his nap.

As usual, to ensure his nap was undisturbed, he turned off his phone. He would turn it back on after waking up.

Coincidentally, Wan Fangfang called right after, informing him that she had found a good rehearsal room and they could head over once he was ready.

"Zhou Chen, have you finished the song? Let me see it," Wan Fangfang asked eagerly when she met Zhou Chen.

"Yes, here it is," Zhou Chen handed over the written "Blue and White Porcelain."

"Blue and White Porcelain? The title seems a bit ordinary, but let me take a look," Wan Fangfang said casually before reading it intently.

"Wow, this is really an excellent song. Zhou Chen, once again, I don't know how to describe your extraordinary talent. To create such an outstanding song with the theme of porcelain, probably only you could achieve this in the entire artistic world," Wan Fangfang said excitedly after reading the lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain."

"Let's head to the rehearsal room and sing it."

Although Zhou Chen was confident in performing "Blue and White Porcelain," it had been a while since he last sang it, so he needed to rehearse and let Wan Fangfang hear its effect.

While he avoided unnecessary work, he never compromised on the quality of his music. As long as the time was reasonable, he would complete his tasks.

"Alright, let's go," Wan Fangfang eagerly said as she led him to the reserved rehearsal room.

The rehearsal room belonged to a local star, and due to her familiarity with Wan Fangfang, they borrowed it for a few days.

After preparing everything in the rehearsal room, Zhou Chen began singing "Blue and White Porcelain."

The plain clay outlines blue and white, brushstrokes darken to light,  

Peonies drawn on the bottle, like your first makeup's sight,  

The faint scent of sandalwood wafts through the window, knowing your plight,  

On the rice paper, the brush halts halfway, the feelings in the night...

Just the opening lines were enough to leave Wan Fangfang astonished. As she had said, she couldn't find the words to describe Zhou Chen's phenomenal talent. The most astonishing part was that Zhou Chen not only had incredible talent but also such mature and stable vocal skills. 

Is he even human? This is more like a deity.

She could only echo a popular internet meme, "Lacking in culture, I can only shout 'awesome'."

"Fangfang, how was it? Any issues with the performance of 'Blue and White Porcelain'?" Zhou Chen asked after finishing, snapping her back to reality. She shook her head repeatedly, "No issues, none at all. I was completely immersed in your performance."

"Thank you."

Zhou Chen had become desensitized to such praise, so he simply said thank you.

"Zhou Chen, are you even human?"

"Uh?"

"Sorry, I didn't phrase that well. I mean your talent seems beyond human reach. Creating such an excellent song in such a short time and performing it so perfectly on the first try, I've never seen anything like it," Wan Fangfang explained.

"Just a stroke of inspiration," Zhou Chen downplayed.

"Come on, you've done this so many times. Are you always inspired?"

"Pretty much. I go to bed early and get up early, so I'm in good spirits."

Zhou Chen attributed it all to his early to bed, early to rise routine, as he couldn't think of any other explanation.

"Fine, if going to bed early and rising early makes you write such excellent songs, then I hope you keep it up."

"Don't worry, I will always stick to it, even if I'm no longer in the entertainment industry."

This was a rule Zhou Chen set for himself after experiencing two lifetimes. Early to bed, early to rise, live a long life.

Wan Fangfang, after spending time with Zhou Chen, began to appreciate his seemingly old-fashioned habits. She realized that Zhou Chen was not as difficult to get along with as the rumors suggested. As long as she respected his habits, everything became simple.

She admired and envied Zhou Chen even more. Many people wanted to go to bed early and get up early but couldn't due to various reasons, such as circumstances or stress. But Zhou Chen, despite being so young, could let go of everything and stick to this routine, which was truly admirable.

For example, you might have vowed to go to bed early many times, but how often have you actually managed to do so?
