The longed-for village system

Chapter 130 Three People Invite Each Other to Sing

"Little H and Little O aren't envious at all! They're not single."

Chen Qing turned her gaze away from the kitchen, but of course, she didn't forget to retaliate against Peng Peng's teasing, hoping to spur him on to make up his mind to pursue the girl, thus doing another meritorious deed.

"Brother Chen!"

Peng Peng looked at Chen Qing with a distressed expression. His little Chen brother had changed; his words had become so sharp! Couldn't a couple's resemblance develop in a positive way? He learned to deliver those sarcastic remarks way too quickly!

Seeing Peng Peng's depressed expression, everyone couldn't help but laugh. His sister, on the other hand, looked smug. It was time to give her brother a good nudge, otherwise he would turn into a greasy middle-aged man if things continued like this.

Little Chen wasn't as good-looking as his older brother back then! But look at him now! Little Chen has married Little Bone's sister-in-law, who is the dream goddess of countless men.

Lunch wasn't a lavish affair; the portions were relatively small, so it was served quickly. Before long, the dishes were all cooked and served.

"First of all, welcome our new friends Zhou Shen and Xiao Ju, as well as our old friend Mao Mao." Teacher Huang, on behalf of the group, once again welcomed the three.

"Teacher Huang, aren't you happy to have me here?"

Zhao Xiaogu held her teacup, her eyes fixed on Huang Shi. She was quite happy to have managed to trick the old fox once. She had witnessed his intelligence when they filmed the movie "Go Fighting!" together, and it was completely different from his state in "Back to Field".

Upon hearing Zhao Xiaogu's words, everyone turned their attention to Huang Shi, eager to hear how Teacher Huang would defuse Zhao Xiaogu's attack.

Huang Shi himself didn't take Zhao Xiaogu's attack to heart at all, and directly retorted, "Why would I welcome you? You and Xiao Chen are the owners of this house. Strictly speaking, we are your guests. You should be the ones welcoming us."

Huang Shi's answer was perfectly correct. Everyone knows that Chen Qing built the Mushroom House himself. Now that Zhao Xiaogu is Chen Qing's wife, she is naturally the mistress of the Mushroom House. Huang Shi and the others are guests, so what he said is correct.

Zhao Xiaogu wanted to refute, but she said she couldn't. The Mushroom House was only temporarily rented to the "Longing for Life" program for filming, and it was actually still her husband's property, so what Teacher Huang said was completely correct.

Seeing his wife get the short end of the stick, Chen Qing was naturally not happy. He picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in her bowl, comforting her, "Don't tease Teacher Huang. He's an old fox, we can't argue with him. Eat your food properly."

"Mmm!" Seeing the man speak up to help her out, Zhao Xiaogu took a bite of the meat in her bowl and said happily, "I know, Brother Chen, you eat too!"

Seeing the two of them shamelessly flaunting their affection, single young people are saying it's too much to bear. Having a wife doesn't make them any better! They just don't want to date.

After lunch, everyone returned inside and started chatting. The live stream was switched to a pre-recorded broadcast. This time, Zhao Xiaogu did not leave. Instead, she sat quietly next to Chen Qing and watched them chat, only responding when they talked about her.

When a group of musicians get together, they naturally start talking about music, such as the songs they like to listen to recently, their creative experiences and thoughts, and of course Chen Qing will also be dragged into this topic.

Although he couldn't compose, no one knew that the songs he sang were the works of musicians from his previous life; they all assumed that Chen Qing had poured his heart and soul into writing them.

"Brother Chen, how do you usually write songs? I really like your song 'An Ordinary Day'. The style of the songs I usually write is similar to that."

Seemingly because the conversation turned to topics they cared about, Mao Mao became more talkative and proactively asked Chen Qing questions. "Um..."

Chen Qing felt somewhat embarrassed. Although this song had never appeared in this world before, and it wasn't his work, Chen Qing knew perfectly well what was going on and felt a little guilty.

"It's just a coincidence, nothing more. I was just messing around with it when I had nothing else to do. I'm glad you like it." Chen Qing replied casually, trying to figure out how to change the subject.

However, it's not so easy to change the subject. Zhou Shen and Xiao Ju were also very curious about Chen Qing's creations and were even scheming to find a song for him! How could they just skip over this topic?

"Brother Chen, this isn't a coincidence, it's talent! Look at me, I can't write so many good songs, and I don't even have a single representative work of my own yet!"

Xiao Ju spoke to Chen Qing with a pitiful expression, which, combined with her petite figure, easily aroused a man's protective instincts.

Zhao Xiaogu glanced warily at the man beside her, and only relaxed slightly when she saw that he remained unmoved. Sure enough, her man had a good sense of self-control.

"Who can argue with that! There are so few good songwriters. Many singers can't even get songs to write for them. It's not that we don't want to sing good songs, but that good songs are hard to come by! Don't be fooled by my recent fame; it's all just fluff. I don't even have a single signature song of my own."

Zhou Shen sighed as he talked about it. Debuting through a talent show is not widely accepted, and even though he has popularity, it doesn't mean his songs are all just empty words. He never knows when his fans will leave.

If a singer wants to remain active in the long term, they definitely need a lot of good songs and representative works. Who has ever seen a top-tier singer without a few hit songs?

Seeing the hopeful looks in Zhou Shen, Mao Mao, and Xiao Ju's eyes, Chen Qing knew their motives. They were indirectly asking him to sing a song, but because they weren't very familiar with each other yet, they were just testing the waters and didn't directly ask.

Both Teacher He and Teacher Huang are shrewd; they knew what the three were up to as soon as they opened their mouths. Teacher Huang didn't speak because he wasn't very familiar with the three, but Teacher He, being a kind-hearted person, was slightly tempted by their talent.

Zhou Shen, Mao Mao, and Xiao Ju have all participated in his program. After several interactions, he is satisfied with their character. Unlike other young male celebrities who forget who they are once they gain some popularity, he is satisfied with their character. In addition, the three of them do have talent in this area, so he is willing to help them if he can.

"Xiao Chen and the other two are quite good; they are all talented young people. If there are suitable songs for them in the future, we can consider giving them some."

"OK, all right."

Chen Qing smiled and nodded in response to Teacher He's suggestion. To be honest, he wanted to make up for what he had done to Mao Mao, and since Teacher He had just brought it up, he might as well go along with it.

"Really? Thank you, Brother Chen and Teacher He."

The three of them were surprised that Teacher He would speak up for them, and that Chen Qing would agree. This was an opportunity for them!

"You three don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Xiao Chen! I only said a few words; he's the one who really used his brain." Teacher He smiled and responded to the three of them, while raising his teacup to Chen Qing.
