Chapter 081 – Two Children's Songs

When Gu Xingyi said that, a flicker of joy flashed across Su Ling and Liu Dan's eyes. They already knew that Xiao Nainai sang beautifully—what they didn't expect was that singing was also her favorite hobby.

A child whose interest aligns with her talent is the easiest to nurture.

"Then, Nainai, could you sing a song for us teachers right now?"

Su Ling crouched down, looked into Xiao Nainai's eyes, and asked with a smile.

"Mm-hmm!"

After spending some time interacting with the two laoshi, Xiao Nainai had warmed up to them. Upon hearing that the teachers wanted to hear her sing, she eagerly nodded her little head.

She loved singing!

Both her papa and mama looked so cool when they sang. She wanted to be just as cool as them!

And so, under the gaze of three adults, Nainai began to sing with her soft, childish voice—the song Gu Xingyi had taught her, "The Little White Rabbit Song."

The three adults swayed along, clapping in rhythm to accompany her.

Nainai sang beautifully, and the brand-new children's song brought genuine surprise to Su Ling and Liu Dan.

As kindergarten laoshi, they had a sharp sense for children's music.

If the song Nainai had sung online before, "Burst of Courage," had felt a bit too advanced for a three-year-old, then "The Little White Rabbit Song" was undeniably something kids could easily memorize.

It was short, and Nainai finished it quickly.

The three of them clapped for her performance, and Nainai's happy eyes squinted into crescent moons.

She liked kindergarten even more now!

Su laoshi and Liu laoshi were both so, so warm and kind!

After that, Su Ling and Liu Dan chatted with Gu Xingyi for a while longer. They introduced Jianghua Kindergarten's educational philosophy and curriculum. Gu Xingyi listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

Once the conversation ended, Liu Dan pulled out a home visit form for Gu Xingyi to fill out. After collecting it, they began wrapping up.

The home visit was more or less complete, but Su Ling and Liu Dan didn't seem ready to leave. Instead, they glanced at Gu Xingyi with slightly embarrassed expressions.

Gu Xingyi scratched his head, confused as to why they were suddenly acting like this.

It was Liu Dan who finally spoke up.

"Mr. Gu, here's the thing—school starts on September 1st, and we're organizing a welcome ceremony for the new term. All the new children and their parents will attend, and the principal has asked each class's laoshi to prepare two songs and dances to teach the kids live on stage.

"In past years, we always taught the same two standard songs. Not only are they kind of boring, but they're also a bit too hard for the kids, so many of them struggle to learn them—and it ends up being awkward for everyone.

"This year, since your daughter happens to be in our class, Su laoshi and I thought it'd be a great opportunity to prepare two new, more creative songs and dances.

"So… we were wondering if you, Mr. Gu, would be willing to try composing two children's songs for us. Of course, this is just a personal request. If it's too much trouble, please don't feel pressured…"

Liu Dan said all of that in one breath, looking genuinely embarrassed—clearly, she was just taking a shot in the dark.

Su Ling, meanwhile, stood to the side blinking her eyes, her gaze full of hopeful anticipation.

"Oh? I see. Of course, I'd be happy to help, Liu laoshi—no need to be so polite. We're all doing this for the children, after all!"

Gu Xingyi agreed cheerfully, thinking it was no big deal at all. In fact, this was something that came easily to him.

Seeing Gu Xingyi agree so readily, both Su Ling and Liu Dan sighed in relief, their faces once again lighting up with cheerful smiles.

They both knew full well that what they were doing wasn't actually allowed—this kind of request wasn't part of the official home visit procedure, and if the kindergarten found out, they probably wouldn't be permitted to make such a request to a parent.

But they'd really run out of better options for children's songs, which was why they decided to take a chance and ask Gu Xingyi.

After all, Gu Xingyi was the one who had written a song like Burst of Courage.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Gu!"

Both of them thanked Gu Xingyi at the same time.

"When the songs are ready, could you send them to us on WeChat? That way we can plan out the choreography?"

They had already exchanged WeChat contacts with Gu Xingyi earlier, which also made it easier for him to stay updated on Xiao Nainai's kindergarten life.

But what they didn't expect was for Gu Xingyi to wave his hand casually and say:

"No need to trouble with that. Just give me two minutes—I'll write two children's songs right now so you can see if they're suitable."

With that, Gu Xingyi quickly walked back to his room, grabbed some music manuscript paper, and began composing right in front of them.

Children's songs usually had simple melodies—two songs like this? Gu Xingyi could write them with his eyes closed!

Su Ling and Liu Dan were completely stunned.

What do you mean "just two children's songs"? Are you looking down on children's songs or what?

And sure, they knew Gu Xingyi was good at songwriting—but this good?

Writing on the spot, without even blinking?

Was this man really a carbon-based lifeform from Blue Star? Could he be some mysterious visitor from outer space?

What they didn't know was—they were already pretty close to the truth.

If he weren't afraid of being too freakishly talented, Gu Xingyi could easily steamroll every songwriter and composer in the industry in a matter of minutes.

Especially that so-called "Godfather of Music," Wu Fan—if Gu Xingyi ever decided to challenge him, he'd probably beat him so badly he'd be eating dirt!

In just ten short minutes—

Under their shocked gazes, Gu Xingyi set down his pen and handed over the sheet music and lyrics.

"I-Is it… done already?" Su Ling stammered, still in disbelief.

Gu Xingyi nodded as if it were only natural.

"Of course it's done. Take a look at the lyrics first. If anything's unclear, just ask."

Su Ling and Liu Dan exchanged glances, then lowered their eyes to read the lyrics and sheet music. They couldn't make much sense of the musical notation, only a rough idea—but they could fully understand the lyrics.

Both songs had extremely simple lyrics—straightforward and easy to grasp.

Su Ling raised her head and shyly held up the sheet in her hands. "Um… I can't really read this well. Would you mind singing it once so we can hear how it's supposed to sound?"

Liu Dan also looked up at Gu Xingyi, clearly eager to hear how these simple lyrics would come alive when sung.

Now it was Gu Xingyi's turn to feel a little awkward. He could sing kids' songs easily when teaching Xiao Nainai, but in front of two beautiful laoshi? That was a bit embarrassing…

Still, what needed to be sung had to be sung.

Scratching his nose, Gu Xingyi took the sheet from Su Ling's hand.

"Alright, I'll sing it then. If I don't do it well, please go easy on me. These are songs meant for kids, after all—it might sound a bit off when I sing them."

Su Ling quickly waved her hands. After all, she was a fan of Gu Xingyi—she knew he was also a great singer!

"It's fine, really! Mr. Gu, we sing children's songs all the time too!"

Gu Xingyi nodded, then lowered the sheet in his hands, cleared his throat, and began singing cheerfully.

The song was called Two Little Tigers.
