Chapter 363: Mother and Daughter
Reignite is a high school student.

And are you good friends with Yuan Wanqing's daughter?

When the audience saw this answer, they were obviously stunned.

After all, not everyone pays attention to Weibo, and not everyone likes to read this kind of gossip online.

Even if they hadn't watched the show, many people wouldn't have known that Yuan Wanqing's guest singer was her own daughter.

When people found out that Yan Zhusheng was Yuan Wanqing's daughter, many of them were just surprised and didn't think much about it.

He doesn't even care when Yuan Wanqing will get married and have children.

When they suddenly learned that Chongran was also a high school student, everyone was a little confused.

The person behind the scenes who created so many hit songs for Yuan Wanqing is actually just a high school student?
After all, it was just speculation on the Internet before, but now it has been confirmed by Yuan Wanqing and Yan Zhusheng themselves, so the authenticity is completely different.

【High school student???】

[No...I was still playing in the mud in high school, and you already knew how to write songs?]

[I just got home from school and watched the show. I was still counting on my fingers when the winter vacation would come. Why is there such a big difference between people? ]

[Okay, okay, you can write songs, you can write novels, and you’re still a high school student, why don’t you go to heaven? ]

Barrages of comments flashed by one after another, and a series of question marks floated by, representing the shock of the audience and netizens.

"You're really going to be famous now." Xu Youyu laughed and shook with laughter in the quilt.

Ying Chanxi on the other side asked in confusion: "Why did Zhu Sheng say it directly? Aren't you exposed immediately?"

"It's okay. She called me before the show started." Li Luo sighed, "The production team asked Aunt Yuan if we could talk about rekindling during the finals, so Zhu Sheng called to ask."

"I thought since everyone in the school already knew about it, I might as well just say it."

"It doesn't matter if some of the news that has already spread online is confirmed. It can also give Zhu Sheng a topic to use on the show so that he doesn't look like an outsider."

In this regard, Li Luo is quite thoughtful.

After all, for Yuan Wanqing, the topic of her marriage is obviously not suitable to be discussed openly on a stage like a singer's show.

Under such circumstances, Yan Zhusheng, as an outsider, is obviously not as popular as several other very famous guest singers.

But everyone's curiosity about "rekindling" has reached a peak in the past two months.

Therefore, by using Yan Zhusheng as a medium and talking about the matter of rekindling, everyone's attention on the rekindling can naturally be transferred to Yan Zhusheng.

So that she won’t be deducted too much in the allocation of screen time and content for the show.

Music variety shows like Singer are still okay, but some other variety shows in later generations will be edited so badly that even human words can be turned into nonsense, let alone Yi Jian Mei.

Even if it is just a variety show, there is still the concept of "roles".

Otherwise, the total length of a program is limited. If you say a few more words, others will say a few less words, and the time occupied by them will naturally be different.

Especially in the finals, even a simple chat in the lounge may affect the public's opinion of the singer, so every move must be paid attention to at all times.

"In fact, it's not just me. Others are also very curious." The host sat on the sofa nearby, chatting with Yan Zhusheng. He didn't forget others and said with a smile, "Teacher Han Hong also said it backstage, praising the lyrics for being well written, right?"

"Yes, I'm very curious." Han Hong laughed.

"So, will Zhu Sheng reveal who Chongran's specific identity is?" the host asked in a persuasive manner.

But Yan Zhusheng didn't buy it. He shook his head and said seriously, "I can't say that."

"He said he wanted to study hard and make progress every day, and he didn't want to be disturbed for the time being."

"So everyone just listen to the music with peace of mind."

The host was amused by her words: "Study hard and make progress every day. Indeed, indeed, at your age, you should study hard. How are your grades? Teacher Chongran writes songs and novels. Can you take care of your studies?"

"He has very good grades." Yan Zhusheng blinked, "He is usually in the top 40 in the school, while I can only rank in the top 100."

"So amazing?" The host was surprised for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "From what you said, you should be classmates from the same school, right?"

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded. "We are deskmates. He also helps me with my homework."

"Ah?" The host was stunned by what he said, and then asked, "Then were all the songs written by Mr. Chongran created during school years?"

"Yes." Yan Zhusheng admitted, "'Light', 'Light Chaser', 'The Sky Has No Limits', these songs were written last year and sung in our school. I thought they were nice, so I recommended them to my mother."

【? ? ? 】

[Fuck! He can write songs, novels, and sits at the same table with a celebrity's daughter. His grades are also so good. What kind of a protagonist template is this? ]

[Outrageous, I thought it was outrageous enough, but I didn’t expect it to be even more outrageous]

[Where does he get so much energy? He is not a human being.]

[The others are invited to sing songs by people in the industry, but Yuan Wanqing relies on her daughter to invite songs, right? ]

[Other singers: Is this how you invite songs? ]

【Others: It's time to give birth to a beautiful daughter! 】

[Rekindle this life winner! Damn it! 】

[Wait! Could it be that Mo Qinghan is Yan Zhusheng? They do look a bit alike to me, and their voice tones are similar.]

[Shit! Could it be that the novels he wrote were also based on reality? ]

【What novel? 】

[This is an online article written by Chongran. I strongly recommend you to read it.]

Seeing this part of the comments, Li Luo's face suddenly darkened: "Just watch the show, why talk about novels?"

"Hahaha~" Xu Youyu felt itchy when he saw these comments, so he squeezed into Li Luo's arms and stretched out his hand to type a speech in the live broadcast program of Mango TV.

[Perhaps the other two female protagonists, Shen Dongdong and Jiang Mingyue, also have real-life prototypes? ]

[This bastard deserves to die! What kind of a life is he leading? ]

[Impossible, absolutely impossible! 】

[Aren't novels all fantasy? How can someone actually use them to write a diary? ]

[I know Chongran, I can testify! He is really writing a diary! ]

[I am Chongran's classmate! He is having three affairs at the same time in school! ]

[I testify! He didn’t even let the teacher go!]

[We even lived together! 】

Li Luo: “???”

"No...are these people real or fake? What the hell is a teacher?!"

"Haha~" Xu Youyu was so happy that he was shaking with laughter in his bed, "Most of what they said is true."

"How could I be having three relationships at the same time? Don't say such nonsense." Li Luo denied it seriously.

"You've slept with me before, and you still won't admit it?" Xu Youyu said aggrievedly, "Xixi, look at this guy, he's so mean, after he cheated us sisters out of our bodies, he turned his back on us and refused to admit it."

After hearing what Xu Youyu said, Ying Chanxi next door immediately blushed.

She was not as playful as Xu Youyu, and she was immediately made so shy that she stammered and could not utter a word.

However, she also knew that Xu Youyu was joking, so she didn't take it seriously. She just looked at Li Luo's reaction quietly, feeling a little shy but also a little amused.

Li Luo's face darkened as well, and he quickly rejected the idea: "When we were sleeping together, I didn't do anything to you, okay? How can you slander me as a gentleman?"

"What do you mean by smearing? Where is the smear? Let me see?" Xu Youyu snorted twice and directly put her hands on Li Luo, groping all over his chest. Li Luo was so scared that he quickly pulled her hand away.

Ying Chanxi looked at this scene and couldn't help but open her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. Although she knew that Xu Youyu was just playing around, she was still a little envious.

If I were a little bolder, could I have this kind of intimate contact with Li Luo?

The three of them were lying on the bed making a lot of noise, and the show on the screen was progressing steadily.

Led by the host, the atmosphere in the lounge was very good. Some singers even greeted Yan Zhusheng with a smile and asked her if she could invite Jun Ran to sing for them.

Yan Zhusheng is a stingy person at home and has to handle all of Li Luo’s songs himself, but he is very well-behaved outside and immediately nodded to indicate yes.

Soon, after chatting for a while, the host took out the lottery box and let the singers draw lots.

"The rules for the order of performance tonight are very simple," the host said. "The duets will still be decided by drawing lots, while the final solo performance will be determined by the ranking of the duets. The higher the ranking, the more priority the solo singer will have in choosing the order of performance."

"To put it simply, if your duet takes first place, you can choose to be the last one to perform in the final competition."

"Well, let's draw lots. Who wants to go first?"

Everyone gave way and said that Yan Zhusheng was the youngest, so they let her draw first.

So, at Yuan Wanqing's nod, Yan Zhusheng obediently came to the lottery box, reached out and pulled out a piece of paper.

"It's number 1." The host took the note and showed it to the camera, "Teacher Yuan, it's a pity that you are the first one to go on stage today."

"It's a good start, which is also good." Yuan Wanqing said with a smile.

Soon, after the results of the draw were confirmed, Yuan Wanqing took Yan Zhusheng to the backstage to prepare.

After the host made some announcements and confirmed that everything was ready backstage, he came to the center of the stage and announced with a smile:
"Then, let's invite tonight's first singing competition duo, Yuan Wanqing and Yan Zhusheng, to present their new song for us - "Mother and Daughter"!"

"I'm coming!" Cui Suling had just finished using the toilet when she heard Xu Rongsheng urging her in the living room. She hurriedly washed her hands, not even drying them, and ran out and sat on the sofa. "Is it started? Is it started?"

"It's just about to start." Xu Rongsheng pointed at the TV screen, "It's about to start."

"What song is it?" "'Mother and Daughter'," Xu Rongsheng said, "It looks like it's about family. You should listen carefully."

"You should listen carefully too." Cui Suling rolled her eyes at him, "Think about why it's not called "Father or Son"."

"What you said is true." Xu Rongsheng immediately laughed and shook his head, "Li Luo wrote it for Yuan Wanqing and Yan Zhusheng, so of course it was called this name."

"Alright, alright, shut up." Cui Suling waved her hand and said, "It's time to start singing."

"I don't know who has been talking all the time." Xu Rongsheng muttered, then immediately shut up and started watching the show seriously.

on the television.

As the stage lights gradually dimmed.

The screen fell into darkness.

Soon, the stage was set.

A figure came slowly.

The light, gradually growing stronger, also fell on her.

Yuan Wanqing walked to the back of a home chair on the left side of the stage, with a microphone hanging next to her ear, holding the back of the chair with both hands, then walked to the side of the chair and sat down gently.

The orchestras on both sides of the stage also played soothing and gentle music with a hint of attachment and warmth, following Yuan Wanqing's movements.

Different from what she was wearing in the lounge just now, Yuan Wanqing at this time changed into a light brown home clothes, and the makeup on her face was not bright, but looked very soft.

This outfit, when associated with the title of tonight's song, instantly makes people think of her as a mother instead of a singer and star.

Just when the audience was wondering why Yan Zhusheng hadn't come on stage yet, as the music started to rise, Yuan Wanqing stroked the table with one hand and placed the other hand on her heart, singing softly and tenderly:

"My child~"

“I wonder if I’m doing good enough?”

“I’m a first-time mother~”

The song was gentle and sincere, especially the last sentence. As soon as it came out of her mouth as a first-time mother, Cui Suling, who was sitting in front of the TV, suddenly felt her heart tighten, as if being gently poked by a thin needle in the chest, and a faint throbbing arose for no reason.

"After that, every time you left home, you waved goodbye and said, 'Let's go.'"

"When farewell becomes easy~"

"But my heart is still empty~"

The next few sentences hit Cui Suling directly in the heart.

When she listened to the lyrics, she thought of Xu Youyu now. Every time he went home, he could not stay for long and had to escape to Bi Hai Lan Ting.

She waved goodbye before leaving, it was so relaxing, but seeing that one of her family members was missing, the empty living room, and the small bedroom where no one lived, Cui Suling felt a sense of emptiness.

However, before Cui Suling could feel sad, a slightly childish and clear voice sounded on the stage.

"Dear mother~"

“I wonder if I’m doing good enough?”

"This is my first time being a daughter~"

"But this is also the first time you do it to me~"

As the lyrics progressed, a figure slowly walked towards the stage from the back.

Unlike the casual clothes she wore in the lounge before, Yan Zhusheng was now wearing a blue and white school uniform, and she walked slowly and gracefully from behind.

She carried her schoolbag, walked to the right side of the stage, turned her head to look at Yuan Wanqing, and sang like this.

Looking at the girl in school uniform in front of the TV, many people were suddenly pulled back to their former school campus, and their memories suddenly became blurry and clear.

"Children will go through the heavy rain to understand the truth of the world~"

"I can only nag because I can't help you anymore~"

Yuan Wanqing stood up from her chair, put her hands on her heart, sang the first two lines of the lyrics to the audience, then turned and looked at Yan Zhusheng in the distance, stretched out a hand, wanted to get closer, but stopped.

"Mom will stay in my childhood and call me a lot~"

"The flowers in the yard are blooming, so I'm going to get on the subway first~"

Yan Zhusheng had already turned his head at this time, carrying his schoolbag, with his back to Yuan Wanqing. He raised his right hand to his ear and then put it down.

"Did you have breakfast this morning? Did you go to bed on time?"

"Forgive me for only being able to participate in your life in this way~"

——"But I can't do it~ so I won't talk~"

"Have you got a meal yet?"

——"I don't want to lie to you~but I'm afraid you'll be sad~"

"Are you tired?"

——"After I hung up the phone hastily, I discovered~"

The mother and daughter had a hurried and contradictory conversation. Yuan Wanqing approached step by step, and Yan Zhusheng turned around little by little.

Until the end, the two held hands tightly - "I miss you so much~"

At this moment, Cui Suling, who was watching TV, felt her whole head numb, as if a series of electric currents flashed through her spine and rushed straight to the top of her head.

It was as if there was a small brush, scratching the softest part of her heart, again and again, until her tears came out.

When she thought that her lovely daughter was not around, Cui Suling suddenly felt uncomfortable. She clenched her hands to her chest and tears flowed.

At this time, on the stage, Yuan Wanqing and Yan Zhusheng turned to face the camera, still holding hands.

The second verse begins, and Yuan Wanqing sings softly:

"My child~"

“I wonder if I’m doing good enough?”

"Letting go is a lesson~"

"Mom has never taken an exam in her life~"

Yan Zhusheng let go of her hand, took a step to the side, and his tone began to contain a little willfulness and stubbornness.

"I didn't eat on time~It's not my fault for being busy~"

"If I let you know, I would feel guilty."

"I know your concern is for my own good."

"But it also makes me feel that I have never been trusted."

Yuan Wanqing hurried forward, grabbed Yan Zhusheng's hand, and continued to sing:

"If you don't worry, you won't be a mother~"

"I know~ I know everything~ but I feel sad~"

Yan Zhusheng shook his head vigorously, shook off Yuan Wanqing's hand again, then turned around and sang vigorously:

"Please let me go~My life~"

"You are so brave and kind~ I am just like you so you won't be afraid~"

Yuan Wanqing slowly walked forward, held her daughter's hands, and sang tenderly: "One day~you will~become a mother~"

Yan Zhusheng pursed his lips, lowered his head and sang: "On that day~will we~hug each other deeply?"

Afterwards, the two finally hugged each other tightly, then turned to face the audience again and sang affectionately:
"Like a stream, traveling around the world, embracing the river from which it was born."

"I hope you are loved~"

"I hope you'll be happy~"

"I hope my hands can block the wind for you~"

……

"Wherever you are, I have a way home~ Let's go home~"

In the final chorus, the mother and daughter sang the climax of the song with deep emotion, and the plain and simple yet touching lyrics struck the audience's hearts word by word.

At this time, Cui Suling's eyes were already blurred and she was crying inconsolably.

Xu Rongsheng realized belatedly that his wife was crying. He was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something. A smile appeared on his face, and he quickly took out a tissue from the coffee table to wipe her tears.

At this time, the two people on the stage returned to silence.

Yuan Wanqing held Yan Zhusheng's little hand, faced her daughter, with tears in her eyes, and raised her hand to touch her daughter's head.

"My child~"

“I don’t know if I’m doing well enough~”

"But there is one thing I am very sure of~"

"You are the best daughter~"

"Please believe in yourself..."
