19 Substitute President
In the Chinese forums, a new post was created at 0:30.
[Shock! New dark horse producer TMY, has revealed a secret in their new music video!]
The thread received a bunch of replies and high-visibility posts not long after it appeared, and was sitting firmly at the top of the homepage.
The actual details of the post were slim, but they caused a huge stir.
[↓Details, TMY should be a teenager, if you don't believe me, look at the picture below↓. ]

This is a picture of a hand pressing the pad. It can be seen that the hand is small and smooth, there was even a small friendship bracelet around TMY's wrist!
Now that's not to say that adults can't wear friendship bracelets. I have one mysel- *COUGH* *Cough* - Sorry about that, I have a cold.
...
*Ahem!*
...B-But it's certainly more common for teenagers to wear them, and combined with the smooth, unblemished hands, either TMY has an INSANELY complex skincare routine, or they're just young.
As for the replies... it has already exploded.
"What :-O TMY is so young?"
"Damn it, I went to Light Cloud's to see, it's really like this, it's not just an edit :D."
"It's the same, and people who wear this kind of thing are generally not too old, and they are probably still young."
"See you in a long time. Although it's not the first time I've seen a young DJ, this is the first teenage producer I've seen."
"↑Asking the person above, is there any difference between a DJ and a producer?? Aren't they both doing electronic music?↑"
"↑The person upstairs should be a newcomer who has just entered the circle not long ago? Let me answer your question. A DJ is a professional who performs electronic music or performs song broadcasting, connection, and interpretation. A DJ does not need to own his songs and is instead skilled at transitioning between songs or remixing the premade songs. The producer is the type of person who really creates electronic music by himself, coming up with the idea, the sound, and the lyrics. This is the difference between the two, a good DJ may not be a producer, But a producer must be an excellent DJ."
"Don't even mention the fact that he's still young. imagine what his songs would be like in a few years..."
"There is a reason why "Fox" became popular. There is no doubt that it's a very nice song. Those who bad-mouth this track are blind, but all the other commenters are too lazy to say it."
"It's the result of a few minor industry battles."
"As soon as the full video comes out, I'm afraid all the doubts will be overwhelmed. TMY is actually a teenager. I feel the need to come out and defend him even more!"
"Same, +1."

...Similar to this post, there are many, many others on the Chinese forums, as long as it was a Chinese-speaking forum, "Fox" was being talked about.
And right below this post on the Chinese forum, a high-ranking member with the ID "Huashan" also posted a post, which refined the popularity even further.
[With the news of how young our producer is, I come bearing good news.
I announce that I am here to officially establish TMY's official fan base - TMY Global Support Club, group chat number: 854-495-780, what are you waiting for? Handsome people are welcome! ]

Different from the electronic music circle that was still in shambles, in the early morning, in Tang Miaoyi's room, there was a completely different scene...
Well, she was in shambles too...
...
The sun has already poured down from the sky very early in the morning, and at five o'clock, it has driven away all the darkness of the night, allowing for a faint light to flow through the gaps of the curtains into the room.
On Tang Miaoyi's bed, there were two horizontal bodies entangled with each other, and those faint rays of light happened to shine on one of the two bodies in particular...
In her sleep, An Qiuying hugged Tang Miaoyi's skinny waist with both hands, her legs were tightly wrapped like an octopus, and her two hands were holding a corner of Tang Miaoyi's clothes behind her with a faint smile spread across her dreaming face.
On the other hand, Tang Miaoyi, because of this posture, her entire face was pointed directly towards the sunlight! She had been forced awake by the sun, and almost went blind!
She had a dilemma.
Either she wakes up An Qiuying early, or tries to go back to sleep like this. But how was sleep possible in this position?
But waking up in this pose would be so embarrassing!!!
Her attempts to fall back asleep were mercifully ended when an alarm sounded at 6:30.
"Hmm..." An Qiuying murmured.
Then, within ten seconds, in a daze, she yawned and straightened up.
Qiuying was in a daze for another few seconds, grabbed her phone, and turned off the alarm.
"Umm..."
"huh? Miaoyi?!?!"
"..."
Qiuying fully woke up after that. Then they were right back to their usual banter.
"It's okay to ask for another day off, I'll definitely go tomorrow..." Tang Miaoyi closed her eyes, and said sleepily, "I barely got any sleep."
"Tomorrow is the weekend, get up quickly!" An Qiuying felt helpless.
"But I'm sleepy... and it's your fault this time." Tang Miaoyi kept trying to fall asleep, against both Qiuying's and her own better judgment.
She doesn't want to leave the warm bed now, it's not even 7 am. Plus, her throat was sore.
She had been working since last night figuring out the correct tone for "Closer", and Qiuying had been assisting her as best as she could. She had even come up with a few original ideas she could incorporate into the song, but she would have to iron those out later.
After playing through the piece for the hundredth time, she had grown tired, and fallen asleep in her chair.
And so, Qiuying had been forced to carry her to her bed. This was also the reason why An Qiuying didn't go back to her room.
While playing, Miaoyi had practiced her singing as well, but now on the day after, her throat just felt dry.
Although Tang Miaoyi in her previous life could sing, it seemed that her predecessor had no practice with it, which caused her skill to lower, and long sustained notes became much harder to reach. Practicing also increases vocal range, so suffice to say, hers wasn't very large.
If she was going to perform in a song like "Closer", she needed to get her singing up to par first.
"No, you have to go to school for me today!" An Qiuying was unmoved and insisted on making Tang Miaoyi go to school.
"ZzZzZzZzZz~ ~"
Seeing this, An Qiuying was very calm, she just took a deep breath and shouted, "Get up!!!"
"Okay, okay, I'm up, don't sleep anymore!!" Tang Miaoyi was startled by the sudden high decibels and sat up straight away with a very aggrieved expression.
An Qiuying revealed a triumphant expression. It was not an easy task to wake up the president.
"Go and change, wash up, and I'll make breakfast."
Next, after urging Tang Miaoyi to get dressed and washed, An Qiuying simply toasted two slices of bread and jam, which solved the problem of breakfast.
After confirming that everything was in place, An Qiuying dragged Tang Miaoyi to school.
Yes, physically dragged.
After a bit, Miaoyi gave up on escape, and they began to talk about the new song.
"By the way, student Tang Miaoyi, is there any reason for the song "Closer"?" An Qiuying asked about the song "Closer" last night.
Tang Miaoyi thought for a while, and replied: "There is no special meaning behind it...why do you ask such a question?"
Perhaps there is a reason behind the song, but Tang Miaoyi doesn't know it, so she would've had to ask The Chainsmokers.
But then again, songs don't have to hold meaning. they can just sound good, and be a perfectly good song. For Tang Miaoyi, "Closer" was such a song.
An Qiuying felt that she was attached to the song already "Then when do you plan to make this song? When are you going to record it?"
"If I rush, in a few days, but recording human voices always takes a long time." Tang Miaoyi thought for a while and said, "It'll probably be longer than that. I want to take my time with this one."
Now that the song has been proposed, Tang Miaoyi had begun to plan out the song in her heart and had a rough idea of what the production would be.
However, "Closer" is very different from the semi-finished improvisation of "Fox".
"Closer" is a very polished song. Most artists would struggle to add another element to the song and make it sound natural. After all, it is a massive single that dominated the charts for an entire year.
"Fox" and "Closer" were naturally put through different productions, so she has no intention of rushing "Closer" the way she did with "Fox".
An Qiuying: "This song is gonna be so good."
Seeing that An Qiuying was in high spirits, Tang Miaoyi smiled.
Soon, the pair stepped through the gate and entered the classroom.
The classroom was already very lively inside, and the class leaders were collecting the day's homework. The room was filled with conversation.
"Hello, class president."
"Good morning, Tang Miaoyi, An Qiuying."
"Good morning class president ...."
Tang Miaoyi and An Qiuying's arrival made many students greet them enthusiastically.
"Good morning to you too." Having worked in the entertainment business, Tang Miaoyi wasn't lacking social skills and showed no signs of her earlier fatigue.
After sitting in the seat, Tang Miaoyi quietly took out her mobile phone, and was about to open the Light Cloud Music APP, and look at the data of "Fox", "Let's check out how big a splash the promo made."
However, before she opened the app, a greeting from behind left her stunned.
"Class President, here is the attendance sheet for this week." It was a male voice.
There was clear hesitation in his voice, "Why don't you... you take a look?"
Huh?
Attendance sheet???
When Tang Miaoyi heard this, she turned her head with a dazed face, only to see a tall figure, wearing long black dress pants, and a white button-up shirt, handing over a stack of documents with both hands...
"Lin Ruofang..." Tang Miaoyi recognized the person after a few seconds.
According to the memories of her previous life, this young man is the study committee member of the class - Lin Ruofang, who is also a top student, and both of them together own the top two places in the class. The first place having been occupied by Tang Miaoyi for a long time, Lin Ruofang has always been in the second place.
The second only to Tang Miaoyi in the class...
Tang Miaoyi looked at the attendance sheet in the other party's hand and took it, feeling a bit guilty, "Thank you."
"It's okay. Compared with these things, I'm more curious about what you've been doing, President." Lin Ruofang had a look of helplessness in his eyes, and at the same time, there was curiosity.
During her time off, Lin Roufang had become the "Substitute President", handling all of Miaoyi's responsibilities, and so naturally, was curious as to what she had been doing.
However, taking over wasn't as bad as he thought, all thanks to a little Electronic Song...
