Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Writing a Song for You
It was blissfully sweet yet melancholic.
The more James Landon listened, the more he felt that he had not misjudged her.
No, it was like unearthing a treasure.
He gently pressed a few black and white piano keys to accompany Hannah’s melody.
Hannah looked up, meeting James Landon’s slightly burning gaze, a look of delight and cherishing from finding a kindred spirit in a crowd.
A small smile graced her lips, and the originally somewhat melancholic song instantly became more lively.
Her voice was like a heavenly song floating above the clouds, the moment it descended to earth, it stirred people’s minds.
The crew who were busy setting up the filming equipment couldn’t help but stop their work and quietly watched the couple in unison at the other end of the room.
Even simple humming was still pleasing to the ear.
Her eyes met his, and a smile was exchanged.
Her smile was like a vivid flower blooming on a branch, falling under the first frost, adding a touch of cold, but still exuding magnificent color.
Catching those eyes, one’s breath could easily be caught.
Her singing was as dreamy and enchanting as her very being, yet it was subtly filled with the densely packed sweetness of cotton candy.
James Landon lowered his head, not daring to look again, focusing only on accompanying her.
Outside the door, Reese Shaw, who originally planned to discuss tomorrow’s course arrangement with James Landon, his face instantly turned cold as he watched the well-coordinated couple in the rehearsal room. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, and his lips were filled with mockery.
The current young girls don’t put any heart into practice at all and think about taking shortcuts all day. It’s really lowering the standards of our industry, and it has stirred the water.
Well then, he will give this teacher-loving little girl a lesson tomorrow.
Let her know what it means to be grounded!

At the end of the song, James Landon was still immersed. When he finally came back to his sense, he walked forward with an excited look, almost knocking over the electronic piano in front of him.
He wished he could grab Hannah’s hand right away. But he hesitated midway and pulled his hand back, "Hannah Winter, I truly want to work with you, no, I want to write a song for you."
The excitement made it impossible to see any traces of the poison-tongue critic he was on the stage.
With a bit of youthful impulsiveness, his usual calm facade was shattered.
Seeing this side of James Landon, Hannah tilted her head, voice tender and sweet, "Sure, Mr.Landon, we have a deal."
"You... You... Do you mean you’re agreeing?" He was somewhat at a loss for words.
The crews that were forced into the background were all stunned.
Whether in the eyes of the fans or the impressions of the public, James Landon was always a reclusive music genius.
Previously, a popular starlet’s company had offered him millions to write songs, but he rejected them outright.
The reason for the rejection was simple, he arrogantly replied, "The songs I write can’t be sung by just anyone."
These words offended everyone, and afterwards, various gossip accounts promoted the news widely, implying the so-called music genius wasn’t so great after all.
Arrogant, rude, and conceited.
The songs he wrote weren’t impressive, and he was always howling at the moon as if he didn’t know what he was singing.
For a while, he left a really bad impression on people.
To turn this situation around, James Landon’s company put a lot of effort and even arranged for him to participate in "Shining Star Journey 2", an audition program, to change people’s impressions of his arrogance.
