Chapter 114 Leaving and Going to the Door

Jiang Congwen stayed for three days and then left soon to prepare for the next work.

The vacation of Chen Mo, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing is almost coming to an end.

On this day, several people in the courtyard gathered together to watch the finals of "I Am the King of Singers" in which Jiang Congwen participated.

In addition to Chen Mo, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, there are also Hu Youyu and Nana. It can be said that everyone in the courtyard is present.

During the few days that Jiang Congwen was here, he and Hu Youyu had a lot of fun chatting and they became friends.

Nana had known Jiang Congwen before. Although they were just online friends, they had a relatively good relationship.

At least Nana remembered that after some things happened to her, many of her anchor friends distanced themselves from her, fearing that they would have anything to do with her.

But Jiang Congwen is a minority. As usual, he will look for the anchor to connect with her live.

At that time, public opinion was very strong. Jiang Congwen did not speak out to help her, but he still connected with her via live broadcast as he did before, which actually made his attitude clear.

There are all kinds of true and false things on the Internet, and people don’t really know each other in private, so staying away and watching is the way to protect yourself.

It is actually very rare not to be afraid of something.

At that time, some familiar anchors would even take the opportunity to add insult to injury, add fuel to the fire, and take advantage of the popularity by pretending to be "friends".

So Nana was speechless at the time and had no choice but to quit the Internet.

This group watching of Jiang Congwen's show was also the last gathering of the few people in the courtyard.

"You guys are booking tickets for tomorrow, right?" Nana asked.

"Yes, tomorrow morning." Xu Hongdou nodded.

"Once you leave, I'll be the only one left." Nana felt very reluctant.

First it was Da Mai, then Ma Ye, and then Chen Mo, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing.

I clearly felt like we were all roasting fire, drinking, chatting and singing together yesterday, but how come everyone suddenly left?

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm here, Nana." Hu Youyu gestured.

"Oh." Nana felt even more depressed.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone." Hu Youyu patted his chest and promised confidently.

"Thank you, but it's not really necessary." Nana returned a polite smile.

"Don't worry, Nana. Although Chen Mo and Hongdou are leaving, I won't leave so soon. I can still accompany you for a few more night snacks." Chen Nanxing said with a smile.

In fact, the rental period of the triple room has not yet expired, but Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou have to go back to Zibo in advance, and Chen Nanxing will stay for a few more days.

When Jiang Congwen came a few days ago, he intentionally showed his face in Chen Nanxing's store visit video and commented in the comment section of that video, attracting a wave of traffic to Chen Nanxing.

Therefore, the video received a lot of views and comments, and many people left her messages and recommended some local treasure shops.

Chen Nanxing knew Jiang Congwen’s good intentions, so he decided to seize this opportunity to shoot a few more store exploration videos here.

After hearing what Chen Nanxing said, Nana felt better, but still a little sad, "But you still have to leave."

Nana knew that Chen Nanxing wouldn't be able to stay for long, and would only stay until the end of the lease.

"Don't be sad, Nana." Chen Nanxing comforted.

"Even if we all leave, there will be new tenants coming soon, and the courtyard will still be lively."

"If anyone else comes, it won't be you anymore." Nana shook her head.

There had been other tenants coming and going in the courtyard before, but Nana had never felt the same way as she does now.

It is so rare to meet a close friend.

That is why the feeling of parting lingers in our hearts and makes us reluctant to leave.

"It's not like we won't see each other again." Xu Hongdou said with a smile.

"It's not easy to meet now. Let's make an appointment. Even if not here, we will meet somewhere else."

Chen Nanxing nodded, "Yes, I used to go to Shanghai on business trips frequently. If you come back to Shanghai, I will come to see you when I go to Shanghai to explore stores."

"And didn't Da Mai say that she would come back to stay for a while next year? Then she can have supper with you again."

Hearing this, Nana adjusted her mood and smiled, "Yeah, I was a little hypocritical."

"Night is when people's psychological defenses are the weakest, so it's inevitable that they are sentimental and easily hypocritical." Hu Youyu pretended to be deep.

Chen Nanxing asked curiously, "Teacher Hu, do you usually use this to tease girls in the bar?"

"Cough cough~~" Hu Youyu broke down instantly and coughed twice in embarrassment.

"I just can't bear to see girls sad, so out of professional habit, I will go and comfort them."

"No other purpose?" Chen Nanxing asked in a playful tone.

"If others understand my profound inner qualities and we appreciate each other, then it is reasonable for us to be friends." Hu Youyu smiled "shyly".

Chen Nanxing blinked, "Then why did he delete your WeChat after he sobered up?"

Before, when Hu Youyu was in a bar, a girl added him on WeChat.

The girl said that when Hu Youyu sang, she had a special feeling, which was love.

The next day, Hu Youyu thought it through and prepared to drink this glass of love wine, but when the other person sobered up, he no longer remembered him.

Hu Youyu still wanted to save this love that had not even started, so when he sent a message again, it turned into a red exclamation mark.

"It was all a dream. When we wake up, we will naturally forget each other." Hu Youyu looked melancholy.

Chen Mo said with emotion: "It's all the moon's fault. The night is so beautiful and gentle that it makes people want to grow old together in an instant."

Hu Youyu raised his glass upon hearing this, "It is good to drink with a bosom friend."

Chen Mo picked up the wine with a smile and clinked glasses with Hu Youyu.

"It seems that you are also very experienced?" Xu Hongdou's gentle voice came from the side.

Chen Mo sensed the murderous intent and instantly sobered up. He immediately clarified: "I have never eaten pork. I have only seen pigs run."

"."Hu Youyu.

I treat you as a confidant, but you treat me as a pig?

"I'm coming."

As a few people were chatting and laughing, it was soon Jiang Congwen's turn to appear on the "I Am the King of Singers" show.

As soon as the host finished the introduction, the spotlight came down and Jiang Congwen and Lin Nanxi walked out from the dazzling white light.

Jiang Congwen was wearing a calm black suit, while Lin Nanxi was wearing a gorgeous white dress.

After "Star of Tomorrow", the two collaborated on another show, which gave the audience an inexplicable sense of familiarity and the cheers on the scene were very enthusiastic.

"A few months ago, at Sister Nan's concert, Lao Jiang said that he would work harder and strive to be on the same stage with Sister Nan. Now he has done it." Chen Nanxing said with emotion.

Chen Mo nodded and smiled, "Fame does help. He looks quite impressive on stage now. It doesn't look out of place standing next to Sister Nan."

Jiang Congwen and Lin Nanxi looked at each other and nodded in understanding.

Soon, a gentle and melodious melody sounded
Lin Nanxi was the first to raise the microphone:
[The wind makes the clouds grow flowers. The flowers fill the sky, blooming silently under the dark clouds, and then drifting away to where?]

Lin Nanxi's gentle and clear voice tells the story, painting a picture of clouds rolling and unrolling.

Jiang Congwen followed up:
[People walking in the sea of ​​people, how are you doing? Are you missing home and the burning dream in your heart?]

Jiang Congwen's magnetic voice with a slight rustling sound speaks softly, instantly enriching the layering of the picture.

[How long has it not spoken]

The beautiful harmony, like a gust of wind blowing through the picture, comes alive on the paper.

[My heart is rubbing in the clouds, feeling sour and numb, but my longing is crawling in my dreams. Is there anyone worth waiting for in the future?]

Accompanied by the hissing and friction sound of the inner wall of the saxophone brass tube, Jiang Congwen sang out a feeling of loneliness and helplessness.

[Loneliness is a windbreaker, it wraps up fear, but I am brave, it doesn’t matter if no one remembers me]

Lin Nanxi sang with ease, expressing a sense of self-encouragement and relief.

[The future is waiting for me]

When you first see the distant mountains, you may think there is no way to get there, but as you follow the winding path, you will find a village. The high notes of the chorus make you feel like you are climbing a mountain from flat ground, and you will feel enlightened.

[I look at the strait and walk along the moonlit beach. I admit that I still miss him.]

Jiang Congwen's amazing harmony constantly changes keys and displays long notes.

Lin Nanxi's clear and bright high notes and Jiang Congwen's textured and tense mix are intertwined, which is soul-stirring.

[Wait a minute, I heard there was a strong wind ahead]

A seagull flies freely in the sky and earth.

In this song, Lin Nanxi sang more lyrics and her voice was high, but the limelight was "stolen" by Jiang Congwen.

Jiang Congwen's harmony with falsetto and vibrato is so catchy.

From this point of view, Lin Nanxi is indeed here to help sing this time.

“This song is beautiful.”

This was the intuitive feeling of Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou after listening to it.

“It’s just not easy to sing.”

This is what Hu Youyu and Nana thought after looking at each other.

Wow, not everyone can sing such a high note.

Neither of them is good at high notes.

"I set the tune myself, and I have to sing it even if I die." Chen Mo said with a smile.

He could see that Jiang Congwen was not singing easily, and the veins on his neck were popping out.

The live broadcast of the game continues.

In the first round, Jiang Congwen and Lin Nanxi had the best cooperation, and with the catchy new song, Jiang Congwen won first place.

In the second round, Jiang Congwen only got third place in the solo singing.

The weight of votes in the second round is higher than that in the first round, after all, there is someone to help sing in the first round.

The show is called "I Am the King of Singers", not "We Are the King of Singers".

Jiang Congwen's final overall ranking was second.

This ranking is already the best result for Jiang Congwen.

The first place is a veteran who made his debut at the very beginning of the show. He is a national-level veteran artist and his strength is beyond doubt.

In fact, when they came, their strength and qualifications were there, so the championship was basically half-determined.

If Jiang Congwen really won the championship by "luck", it would not be a good thing, but would be put on the hot pan.

Regarding the rankings, people from each company will communicate with the program team.

What ranking you can get is another matter, but it is hard to say what ranking you cannot get.

Everyone is a famous singer, and they can sing from beginning to end on the show and get enough exposure, so the purpose is achieved.

Ranking is secondary and not very important.

This is just a variety show, not an authoritative organization, and the champion is not a prestigious music award.

Any prestigious award has public relations and inside information, let alone a variety show.

The plane roared up and took off, passing through the clouds, across the blue sky, leaving a cloud trail.

Zibo, Shandong.

"Am I okay today?"

Downstairs in the residential area where Xu Hongdou lived, Chen Mo was wearing a decent casual suit, formal yet not overly formal, and carrying large and small boxes of gift supplements in his hands.

Although he was fully prepared, Chen Mo still felt inexplicably nervous at the last minute.

Although he had already met his mother-in-law in advance through video, and Chen Mo also chatted with Lin Guiqin on a regular basis, the feeling was still different when they met as "online friends" for the first time.

Moreover, he hadn't even met his father-in-law yet, so Chen Mo had no idea what was going on. He came here to get something for free, so he was naturally a little timid when he saw his father-in-law.

"How many times have you asked me this? I was the one who picked out this outfit for you. Don't you trust my taste?"

Xu Hongdou looked at Chen Mo with amusement. Chen Mo had been like this since he got off the plane. He asked the same question over and over again.

"No, no." Chen Mo shook his head and asked worriedly, "Look, is my collar crooked?"

"No, don't be nervous. You look very handsome today. There has never been a day more handsome than today."

Having said that, Xu Hongdou reached out to help Chen Mo straighten his collar to ease his nervousness.

Chen Mo said seriously: "You will be even more handsome on the day I marry you."

"Are you so talkative now? If you have the guts, come in and tell me later." Xu Hongdou tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of smiles.

"Just say it." Chen Mo suddenly became bolder, "I must marry you."

Xu Hongdou suddenly looked behind Chen Mo, "Dad, why did you come down?"

Chen Mo was startled and turned around hurriedly to greet him, "Uncle"

Chen Mo had just said half of his words when he turned around and saw no one in front of him.

The sound of Xu Hongdou covering her mouth and laughing came from behind, and Chen Mo didn't realize that he was being fooled.

Chen Mo turned around and looked at Xu Hongdou with a "resentful" look.

Xu Hongdou suppressed a laugh and said, "You are quite brave, so why are you so scared?"

"Who was scared?" Chen Mo denied it.

"I just didn't think of what to say just now, so I acted a little hasty. Wait for me to think of something to say. I will propose to your father in a minute without blinking an eye."

Seeing Chen Mo's stubborn look, Xu Hongdou was about to make a joke, but suddenly saw a familiar figure behind Chen Mo, "Dad, why did you come down?"

"Still coming? All's fair in war, right?" Chen Mo smiled disdainfully, "The same trick you used on me..."

Before Chen Mo finished speaking, a cheerful voice came from behind him, "Your mother saw that you guys haven't arrived for so long, so she asked me to come down and take a look."

"."Chen Mo.

When Chen Mo was feeling a little "awkward", Xu Hongdou had already walked past Chen Mo and walked towards Xu Jianguo.

Chen Mo didn't have time to prepare himself mentally, so he quickly turned around and said hello.

"Uncle, hello, I'm Chen Mo."

"Hello, young man, you look very energetic." Xu Jianguo quickly took a look at his daughter's boyfriend and nodded secretly. Judging from his appearance alone, he was indeed good.

However, he seemed to have heard the term “marriage proposal” just now?
"Uncle, these are supplements for you and aunt." Chen Mo hurriedly handed over the gift.

"Come to my house for dinner, you don't need to bring so many things."

"Yes, yes. This is my first visit. This is a small token of my appreciation."

The two were entering into the standard "courtesy" process, and were still trying to decline each other, when Xu Hongdou could no longer bear it and interrupted:
"Okay, Dad, let's stop chatting here and go home quickly. My mom must be waiting anxiously."

"Oh, yes, yes, let's go home first and talk about it when we get home." Xu Jianguo said as he was about to help Xu Hongdou with the luggage.

"Uncle, you take this, I'll take care of the suitcases." Chen Mo handed the gift box to Xu Jianguo, and then took a suitcase in each hand.

The gift box is light, but the suitcase is heavy. They have to climb the stairs to go upstairs. Xu Jianguo has a bad back, so Chen Mo must take the initiative to carry the heavy things.

"It's okay, let Dou'er take the gift box, and I'll carry the suitcase." Xu Jianguo said.

"Dad, we can carry the suitcases ourselves. You can just take the gift box. Don't try to be tough with your waist."

Xu Hongdou didn't let Chen Mo carry two suitcases by himself, and helped Chen Mo carry his suitcase.

Chen Mo's suitcase only had a few pieces of clothes and was much lighter than hers. She carried Chen Mo's lighter suitcase, and Chen Mo carried her heavier one.

Seeing this, Xu Jianguo didn't say anything else. His waist was indeed too weak now.

The three of them went upstairs and went home.
