The longed-for village system

Chapter 127 A Smile That Captivates the City
"Xiao Chen, the fans' second wish is for you to sing a love song."

No one was surprised by this wish, after all, they had all witnessed Chen Qing's songwriting ability. It might be difficult for others, but it shouldn't be difficult for him.

Zhao Xiaogu stared at Chen Qing with her beautiful eyes, silently applauding these fans. What a brilliant assist! She'd ask Lao Wang for their contact information later; she had to thank them properly no matter what.

"These viewers are being too selfless! You guys could at least be a little more materialistic! Like asking for red envelopes, cell phones, computers, or even autographed photos! At least those can be sold for money," Chen Qing said to the camera.

"Did you bribe someone? They're always making demands of me, I haven't seen them ask you to kiss me."

Chen Qing looked at Zhao Xiaogu with suspicion. Both fans were asking him to express his love with poems and songs. It couldn't be that much of a coincidence!

"Hehe! What can I do? I have so many fans! They just mean well. If you're envious, just release more songs!" Zhao Xiaogu said with a smug look, then urged, "Hurry up and get ready, I want to hear new songs."

Chen Qing was just saying that; the selection of fans was done by Lao Wang and his group, and if anyone was going to tamper with it, it could only be Lao Wang and his group. He could also sense that these questions were probably selected, but he didn't intend to deny it.

It's just singing a new song. It might be a bit difficult for others, but it's so easy for him.

"Little Chen, guitar." The younger sister handed the guitar to Chen Qing with an expectant look on her face.

"Are you trying to trap me? Fine! Then I'll sing a new song, 'Love O2O'."

Just from the song title, you can tell it's a very sweet song, especially with Zhao Xiaogu's happy smile at this moment. Everyone said this dog food is sweet.

Soon everyone realized that this dog food (a term for public displays of affection) was not only sugary, but also so sweet it was unbearable. Just how sweet must it be to write such lyrics?

I only wish to drive away all your troubles.

I'll take you to the ends of the earth to hear your heartbeat.
I'll give you a hug and let the whole world know.

Meeting you made me realize how important you are to me.

No one can feel your sweetest smile.
I no longer need to search for others.
Because I have already found

Is this a song lyric? Even the sweetest love confession couldn't be more beautiful! Talented people really know how to express their feelings differently; others can only be envious.

Zhao Xiaogu felt that she was immersed in an ocean of love. This man's love surrounded her tightly, and she was so happy.

Huang Shi doesn't usually like this kind of light and refreshing song, but he said he would listen to this one, as it reminded him of his younger days.

I felt the same way when I was pursuing Sun Xiaoli. I felt that her smile was the most beautiful and sweetest smile in the world, and there would be no worries around her.

Love is that simple and beautiful: meeting the right person and supporting each other through thick and thin, spending a lifetime together.

Like him, countless netizens recalled the scene from back then while listening to the song, and those who came to the live broadcast room because of the poetry and were about to leave also paused their departure.

"How was it? Not bad, right?" Chen Qing asked Zhao Xiaogu beside him as the song ended, putting down his guitar.

"My husband is awesome! Mua." For the first time in front of the live broadcast camera, Zhao Xiaogu called Chen Qing "husband" and even offered him a kiss, not a light peck but a long kiss.

The number of comments had already surged because of Chen Qing's poems and songs, but now that Zhao Xiaogu took the initiative to kiss him, the number of comments became astonishing.

"Mom, I want to fall in love too, it's so sweet."

"The goddess took the initiative to kiss me, I'm so envious and jealous! Why wasn't it me? Let's have a showdown, Little Chen!"

"How wonderful! How happy must the goddess be to take such initiative!"

"I've lived for thirty years and this is the first time I've realized that the mouth can kiss in addition to eating. I'm so envious."

"Although I've never kissed, I know a little bit about it. Goddess, please tell me that your mouth shouldn't be used for anything other than kissing, okay? I can't accept it!"

Looking at the number of comments and online viewers, Lao Wang was grinning from ear to ear. He really wanted to shout, "Who else is there?"

However, Chen Qing didn't give Lao Wang much time to daydream. Amidst the commotion from the others, he spoke up and changed the subject, "What's Mr. Wang's third fan wish? Hurry up and tell us!"

"The third fan's wish is for you to translate the meaning of that ancient poem from before, and also for an autographed photo of you and your husband."

This wish wasn't difficult for Chen Qing, especially since getting autographed photos of him and his wife was too easy. The fact that he requested something in return made it seem like a normal fan's wish.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, could you please mail it to me later? Now, let me translate that poem into modern Chinese!"

The first two lines translate to: "Last night the stars were bright, but there was a cool breeze at midnight; our banquet is set up to the west of the painted pavilion and to the east of the cassia hall."

The last two lines say that although they have no colorful phoenix wings to fly together, their hearts are like those of a rhinoceros horn, and their feelings are intimately connected.

The online translations differ slightly from Chen Qing's, but the general meaning is the same. However, everyone has to admire Chen Qing's talent and quick wit; his translation is so relevant to their current situation.

The starlight in the sky, the gentle breeze at night, and the people of Mushroom House celebrating together—all of this can be summed up in just fourteen characters.

The following sentence highlights the central theme, describing his and Zhao Xiaogu's inseparable and perfectly in sync love.

Chen Qing's translation was immediately posted on the forum, sparking heated discussions. This time, teachers and professors from major universities across the country were drawn out, with the most prominent comment coming from a professor in the Department of Literature at Beijing University.

Chen Qing was unaware of this. After finishing the dinner and cleaning up, he and Zhao Xiaogu returned to the old house. Huang Shi, Teacher He, and the others did not stop them. The newlyweds must be very much in love, and living in the Mushroom House would definitely restrict their development.

"Honey, do you know what? I'm really falling more and more in love with you. You're amazing at night, whether it's poetry or songs, I love them all."

Back at the old house, Zhao Xiaogu helped the man get his change of clothes, still feeling an overwhelming sense of admiration for his performance that night.

"Not bad, not bad, you're already admiring me! I have even more amazing skills!" Chen Qing said, moving closer to Zhao Xiaogu and hugging her tightly from behind.
