　　Between 5237's inaction and Huo Ke's meddling, the day that Sui Yuan would understand Zhao Xihe's intentions was pushed further into the far future. For the sake of preventing the two from 'making up', Huo Ke even deepened their relations.h.i.+p, just in case some trouble arose when he wasn't there and the two people were left alone.

　　Even so, the sharp Eason quickly saw through his intentions. He looked at him as if he had stolen his wife away, making Huo Ke feel especially good.

　　After all, the current Sui Yuan did not evoke any desire for revenge in him. So, Huo Ke could only throw his negative emotions onto the two-timing sc.u.m gong, Eason. Although his method of revenge was a bit childish and strange, it was enough.

　　Aside from realizing that the relations.h.i.+p between Eason and Sui Yuan was not at all like what he had imagined, Huo Ke discovered quite a few things that were different from his last life. The most important thing was that Eason, who had been beaten down to the point of giving up his pa.s.sion and pursuit of music, pulled himself together in this lifetime. He began to rush about in order to ensure Fas.h.i.+on Mix's survival.

　　Towards this, Huo Ke felt really complicated. After all, the one who had done everything before had been him. At the same time, he was a bit bewildered. He didn't know what he should do.

　　Although he was incomparably disappointed with the two other members of this band and even resented them, Fas.h.i.+on Mix was extremely important to Huo Ke.

　　Even if he became an actor in his last life and had practically thrown the band aside, he would still dream about the past every night. Fas.h.i.+on Mix still was his life's biggest regret, making him unable to forget about it.

　　Huo Ke didn't know what had changed Eason's att.i.tude. Even though his impressions of Eason was already at an all-time low, he couldn't help but feel moved by the other's actions and unceasing hard work.

　　Huo Ke wondered if he should help Eason and work hard for the sake of Fas.h.i.+on Mix's survival or ignore it completely and let Fas.h.i.+on Mix hurtle towards its death as it had in his last life. He was a bit unwilling to do the former, but the latter pained him.

　　While Huo Ke was wavering, Eason's hard work came to fruition. The company finally let out a breath and said that they would help them plan and prepare an EP, as a last ditch effort for Fas.h.i.+on Mix to change their fortune. What had persuaded the company's upper management to make this decision was the video Eason had uploaded to the internet not long ago.

　　In the video, he wore a white s.h.i.+rt and jeans. The youth, who looked as pure as an angel in heaven, sat on the balcony, sunlight scattered over him. He played the guitar in his hands while singing. The melody was unfamiliar, but it was extremely catchy. Even though it was short, no matter who it was, they couldn't help but praise the composer's talent and the singer's skill.

　　The first to discover this video was the die hard fans of Fas.h.i.+on Mix who had been left over after the great wave had filtered out all of the rest less devoted fans. With regards to the band's previous silence and the news that they were on the eve of breaking up, these fans naturally had become disappointed and even discontent. However, they were the last ones standing after all, so even though they were sad, they wished to continue to accompany Fas.h.i.+on Mix to the end of their journey.

　　However, when they suddenly discovered this video, it undoubtedly gave them an adrenaline shot to the arm. It told them that their idols were not dispirited at all. Rather, they would continue to work hard. Their temporary silence was just waiting period for even greater splendor.

　　The diehard fans were all in high spirits, excited, impa.s.sioned, and continuously forwarded the video on social media. They recommended it to everyone around them, hoping that they could attract more people to help their idols in response. They hoped to encourage their idols to pull themselves together once more.

　　With the support of their fans and the momentum caused by the backing of their company, this video rapidly became a viral hit. The views and downloads climbed steadily. Although it had aroused a lot of hype and disdain, afterwards, the video proved its own value and strength—that it was worthy of all the hype.

　　The enthusiastic reaction on the internet made many pa.s.serby who were interested in Eason in the video go find the alb.u.m that Fas.h.i.+on Mix produced under the guidance of some people with hidden motives. Although it wasn't as breathtaking as that video, many forgiving listeners also found good things about these songs.

　　As a band that composed and wrote their own songs, they could pull off many more gimmicks than a band that could only sing. This could be considered a talent. Although their earlier songs weren't quite matured, from time to time, a song would have a breakthrough and make people feel like they saw a glimmer of hope. During the later period, although both the lyrics and composition were more mature, it was just a pity that they sounded dull and ordinary. This inevitably made people sigh with sorrow that ‘they must have used up all their creativity’. However, this new video that had been published brought forth the best parts of the earlier and later periods, welding them together into a polished final product. This astonished everyone .

　　Listening to Fas.h.i.+on Mix's alb.u.ms was like watching a person's growth. The high spirited but inexperienced rebellion from when they were young; the dispirited decline after hitting a wall again and again in their teenage years; and finally their current sound, in which they had shed away all pretences and became genuinely calm, wise, and mature.
