Chapter 32 Valentine's Day Eve

"By the way, what do you think of the song just now?" Chen Mo asked.

"The song is nice and the lyrics are very appropriate." Chen Nanxing said first.

"But you are hateful and irritating," Xu Hongdou added.

Xu Hongdou thought about yesterday when Jiang Congwen and Li Jinting said goodbye downstairs, and Chen Mo was actually playing music next to them.

"Yes, I have already felt it deeply." Jiang Congwen nodded.
God knows, when you are sad, there is always someone like the narrator who sings out your feelings. What does it feel like?
I feel comforted that there are people who understand me.

I also feel embarrassed because sometimes I don’t want others to know my emotions.

It’s okay when someone cries, just wipe away the tears and pretend nothing happened.

But when someone sees you crying, it can be a little awkward afterwards.

It's also heartbreaking, do you really need to understand?! I just want to be alone.

People are afraid that no one understands them, and they are also afraid that others understand them too well. Perhaps human emotions are just so hypocritical.

We are afraid of loneliness, and even more afraid of having no privacy.

No one wants all of their inner feelings to be known by others, not even their parents or lovers.

All in all, the taste is mixed.

Of course, Chen Mo is not so powerful that he can see into people’s inner thoughts.

Chen Mo is at best a person with strong empathy, and is easily influenced by other people's emotions when creating.

But there's nothing you can say about this, because you were the one who took the initiative to reveal and express your emotions to him.

"Will you get beaten one day if you continue like this?" Xu Hongdou said.

"Not really. I was just infected by your emotions." Chen Mo said.

"My creative inspiration is at most a receiver, not a detector."

"Then you will easily be without friends." Xu Hongdou said again.

"Isn't it just that I don't let you drink? Is that so important?"

Chen Mo could see that Xu Hongdou's real intention was drinking.

Xu Hongdou didn't say anything. She pushed the empty cup forward and just looked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo couldn't stand being stared at anymore and could only open another can of beer.

"Come, let me fill it up for you." Chen Mo helped Xu Hongdou fill the cup.

Xu Hongdou nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's okay, you will still have me as your friend in the future."

"Thank you first." Chen Mo said speechlessly.

"You're welcome." Xu Hongdou raised her glass and gestured.

The four of them chatted and laughed, and the meal took more than an hour. Then they worked together to quickly clean up the "battlefield".

Chen Mo called a designated driver and left with Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing.

"Then you should go to bed early." When they arrived at the door of 1102, Chen Mo said to Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing.

"You too." Xu Hongdou replied.

"Thank you for your hospitality today." Chen Nanxing said with a smile.

"You're welcome. Good night."

"Good night."

After Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing finished washing up, they were talking about private things between best friends.

"Oh, look at the big bags under my eyes." Xu Hongdou said while sitting in front of the dressing table, looking in the mirror.

"I already have them, along with dark circles, crow's feet, and staying up late."

Chen Nanxing was lying on the bed, pounding his back with a small wooden gavel and sighing.

"I'm suddenly afraid of getting old. I think I need to find a boyfriend as soon as possible."

"Then go ahead and look for one. Didn't you say last time that the new colleague was your type?" Xu Hongdou asked while doing her pre-bedtime care.

"He's handsome, and comes from a well-off family. What's his name?"

"Sun Zhixin." Chen Nanxing said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"But she's six years younger than me. I'm afraid that if we were to be together, we wouldn't be able to survive."

"How can we waste time?"

"So, you're just shouting slogans." Xu Hongdou complained.

"I have a lot of things to say about myself. I have to actively strive for happiness."

"When it was my turn, I backed off. I had no real motivation to take action."

"Then I have to consider the reality of age." Chen Nanxing argued.

"Hey, let's not talk about me for now. I feel that Chen Mo is really interested in you." Chen Nanxing suddenly said gossipingly.

"Maybe." Xu Hongdou thought of how Chen Mo didn't let her drink just now, and she felt a little strange in her heart.

"Hey, you're being arrogant again." Chen Nanxing couldn't help but teasing as he looked at Xu Hongdou with a smile on her face.

"How could that be?" Xu Hongdou denied.

"I saw that you were quite willing to be controlled by others just now." Chen Nanxing said meaningfully.

"It was you who told me that I had a bad stomach and didn't want to drink." Xu Hongdou got angry when she thought of this.

"I only said one thing. It wasn't me who stopped you from drinking." Chen Nanxing laughed.

"The beer was placed too far away on the table and I couldn't reach it." Xu Hongdou denied it.

"I can't just go through someone's refrigerator and take it myself, right?"

"You know whether this is true or not. I just want to see how long you can keep being stubborn." There was a teasing look in Chen Nanxing's eyes.

"What am I being stubborn about?"

"Then do I have to tell others that I can see that you like me and I allow you to pursue me?" Xu Hongdou said speechlessly.

"Haha, you admit it, right?" Chen Nanxing sat up from the bed and said proudly.

"What did I admit?"

"You know that people like you, but you don't reject their concern for you." Chen Nanxing pointed at Xu Hongdou with a small wooden hammer.

"I remember I told you before that you could try to get in touch with the colleagues who like you."

"Someone once said that if you don't like someone, don't give them hope in the first place."

Xu Hongdou stopped talking.

"What do you think? Was I right?" Seeing Xu Hongdou's silence, Chen Nanxing said proudly.

"I'm not a fool, how could I not feel it?" Xu Hongdou thought for a while and said softly.

"But we have to try it slowly."

"I think it can work. Chen Mo is handsome, well-off, and easy to get along with. He doesn't have the bad habits of a rich boy, and he can cook."

Chen Nanxing counted on his fingers to help Xu Hongdou analyze.

"If you really stay with him, at least life won't be so stressful."

"Don't think too highly of it. According to the plot in the movies, at times like this there will often be a difficult mother-in-law who will give me money to leave her son." Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say.

Xu Hongdou was also amused by what she was saying, and asked Chen Nanxing:

"Hey, tell me, if that time really comes, how much do I want?"

"The more the better, of course." Chen Nanxing said as a matter of course.

"What about 1500 million?" Xu Hongdou asked uncertainly.

"Alright, alright, you still have zeros and whole fantasies, can't you just think of something good for yourself?"

"I don't know you. If you really fall in love with him, you will regret it even if his mother gives you money." Chen Nanxing curled his lips.

"That's not necessarily true~~" Xu Hongdou raised her chin.

"Oh, I suddenly feel so confused." Chen Nanxing rolled over on the bed and suddenly sighed.

"You said that after so many years in the capital, we still don't have a house, a car, or a boyfriend."

"Just like what Chen Mo sang in that song just now, we are in a hurry and panic every day. What's the point?"

"Do I really have to retire at the age of 60 to live the life I want?" "Why am I confused? My goal is very clear. I want to buy a house, a car and find a boyfriend," said Xu Hongdou.

"and then?"

“Then there will be happiness.”

"Can happiness really be achieved?"

"It should be possible, right?" Xu Hongdou was not very sure.

"Okay, okay, why are you suddenly so emo? Turn off the lights." Xu Hongdou interrupted Chen Nanxing's wild thoughts.

"Okay." Chen Nanxing replied.

After turning off the lights, they went to bed.

"Hey, let's find some time this year to go for a physical examination together." Chen Nanxing suddenly remembered and said.

"Didn't Auntie tell you last time that she wanted you to check your stomach?"

"My mom is just imagining things. I just have a common stomachache, an old problem. It's not that serious."

"Just think of it as a way to reassure your aunt." Chen Nanxing said as he held Xu Hongdou's hand.

"Anyway, Auntie gave me a task. I asked you to go check it out."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Next time, let's find a time to go for a physical examination together." Xu Hongdou said.

"Well, okay, you still have to go to work tomorrow, so go to bed early." Chen Nanxing said with satisfaction.

"Then I won't wake you up tomorrow. Come find me after you wake up, and we'll have lunch together at noon."

"Well, our Hongdou still loves me~~"

"Love you, love you, go to sleep~~"

In the next few days, Chen Mo was busy helping Jiang Congwen record the songs "It's a pity there is no if", "Love that will never lose connection", and "What's wrong".

Chen Mo also plans to sing "God Save Me", "Youth·Capital" and "To Live", which are also being recorded one after another.

"How do you plan to release the remaining songs?" Zhang Yundong asked Jiang Congwen while listening to the songs Jiang Congwen had recorded.

"Director Zhang, do you have any suggestions?" Jiang Congwen asked.

"Except for the song 'Ten Years' that we are going to release tomorrow, I think we shouldn't release any more singles." Zhang Yundong said after thinking for a while.

“Put these songs on your first solo album.”

"Also, the previously released songs 'King of Karaoke', 'Transfer of Love' and 'Single Love Song' can be put into your first album."

"That gives you seven songs now. With three more you can release your first solo album."

"Your songs are all love songs with a unified style. You can try to make a name for yourself with your first album." Zhang Yundong said with a smile.

"That's a good idea. Why don't you just call this album "The King of Love Songs" and then you can be the Prince of Love Songs. When you become famous in the future, you can just be called the King of Love Songs." Chen Mo suggested.

Chen Mo felt that given the quality of his songs, it would not be a problem to make Jiang Congwen the Prince of Love Songs.

When Jiang Congwen heard the name "Prince of Love Songs", he felt a little embarrassed for a moment and said awkwardly:
"Is this appropriate? Is it too high profile?"

"You don't look very suitable, but there is absolutely no problem with my song. I have confidence in the songs I write." Chen Mo said after looking at Jiang Congwen.

"." Jiang Congwen.

Seeing that Jiang Congwen was silent, Chen Mo thought that Jiang Congwen was worried that his looks did not match his position, so he patted Jiang Congwen on the shoulder and comforted him:

"It's alright. I'll just ask the publicity department to send out more press releases. They'll definitely help you establish the title 'Prince'."

"." Jiang Congwen remained even more silent.

"It's really nothing. Look at other people who are always talking about beauties that are rarely seen in thousands of years. It's not too much for you to brag about being a love song prince, really!"

Seeing that Jiang Congwen still didn't say anything, Chen Mo continued to comfort him.

"Get away." Jiang Congwen couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Chen Mo's hand away.

"My charm, which can be found nowhere else, is enough to charm thousands of girls. It's no wonder that I'm worthy of being called the King of Love Songs."

"When I was in school, I was called the Little Prince of Love Songs. Now that the little prince has grown up, what's wrong with just calling him the Prince of Love Songs?"

"Why should I be embarrassed? I'm already being low-key by not being called the King of Love Songs."

Jiang Congwen spoke with spit flying everywhere, forcing Chen Mo to retreat again and again.

"Once I lose some more weight, I'm going to change the name of my DouLe account to 'The Dream of 900 Million Girls'."

"Your shamelessness always exceeds the limits of my imagination." Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh as he listened to Jiang Congwen's arrogant and impassioned speech.

"I was there when you were in school, so there's no way the word 'prince' could possibly have anything to do with you."

Zhang Yundong couldn't bear to hear these two shameless words, so he just shook his head and left.

Chen Mo and Jiang Congwen were left arguing with each other.

"How dare you say that when you haven't even had a girlfriend in college?"

"."Chen Mo.

"The one who gets on the bus first may not arrive at the station first." Chen Mo glanced at Jiang Congwen and said slowly.

"." Jiang Congwen.

Two good brothers hurt each other mercilessly
Soon night fell and the moon quietly emerged from the clouds.

"Hello everyone, welcome to my live broadcast room."

Jiang Congwen went live on time and greeted people in front of the camera.

"Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I believe many of my friends will have a romantic and unforgettable night tomorrow."

"Here, I wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day in advance."

"Otherwise, I believe that everyone will not have time to receive my blessings tomorrow night."

[Valentine's Day is a Western holiday. I'm from the north, so I won't get involved.]

[What a coincidence! I am from the south, so I won’t join in the fun. ]

[I have been single for 25 years, and this is the first time I know about Valentine’s Day. 】

[It's ok, brother upstairs, heroes don't ask about their fate, and being single doesn't depend on age. ]

[The dogs I like don’t show up, and the dogs that show up I don’t like. 】

"Don't be sad if you don't have a lover, because Sister Nan and I have prepared gifts for everyone."

"I believe everyone has seen the video from a few days ago, right? Yes, the song in the video is called "Ten Years"."

"It will be online on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow night."

"So everyone must dress beautifully tomorrow, dress up nicely, and listen to "Ten Years" at home."

【.】

【Did anyone say that?】

[I may not be a human, but you are a real dog. ]

【Brother Wen, what about you? 】

"Haha, that's a good question. I calculated that tomorrow's Valentine's Day has nothing to do with me."

"So I will be online on time tomorrow night, and you can also come to my live broadcast and we can celebrate Valentine's Day together."

【Where is Sister Nan? 】

[Yes, where is Sister Nan's gift? ]

"Sister Nan has also prepared a very nice song for everyone this time."

"Tomorrow at the same time, both songs will be released online, so please stay tuned."

“I believe these two songs will make everyone have an unforgettable Valentine’s Day.”

After the broadcast, Jiang Congwen remembered something.

Jiang Congwen opened his personal DouLe account homepage and deleted the previous sentence "I don't even talk about love" and changed it to:

Romance lasts till death.
