The longed-for village system

Chapter 281 The Distance of Longing

After seeing Teacher Huang finish singing, Teacher He also got excited. He took out his phone, tapped a few times, and then picked up the microphone to introduce himself, "Let me sing one too! This song was written for me by Xiao Chen, and today is the first time I'm performing it."

Since the song was given to Teacher He, Chen Qing didn't care what environment he sang it in. Besides, the premiere performance on the show "Back to Field" was a good form of publicity, since there aren't many variety shows that can compare to "Back to Field" except for "Go Fighting!" and "Running Man".

"Teacher He, you're fast! You finished the instrumental track so quickly."

Teacher Huang was somewhat surprised by Teacher He's speed. You know, the other singers took one or two months to release Chen Qing's songs, and his sister hasn't even made the accompaniment yet. As for Chen Qing's creative speed? Isn't he always very fast?

It's all about whether he wants to write, not whether he can write. So even if Chen Qing produces ten songs a day, he's just amazed, not surprised.

As the song's intro began, everyone quieted down, including Teacher He, who also quieted down to prepare his emotions.

It's been so long since I've seen you.

It just so happens that the distance that longing can reach is calculated.

I also believe that distance cannot change the understanding between you and me.
Yet I still can't calm my longing for you.

Everyone had different thoughts and feelings when they heard the first verse. Some thought that Chen Qing wrote this song to express his feelings before he and Zhao Xiaogu established a relationship, while others thought that it was a song Chen Qing wrote for his first love.

In Zhao Xiaogu's mind, this was a song Chen Qing wrote for his college friend, a song describing brotherhood, and it would be very suitable for Teacher He to sing. However, she quickly dismissed this guess.

Your greeting is the reason I feel warm.
I can stay by your side for a moment.

Thinking about the future is romantic.

But you always have to be brave.

Have my expectations become a burden to you?
Without a doubt, this is a love confession song. Warm reasons, being by your side, staying, future romance, and anticipation are all expressions of love.

It can be confirmed that this song was written by Chen Qing for his ex-girlfriend. They broke up for some unknown reason, and perhaps, like most people, graduation season is breakup season.

But as people listened, they felt something was off. Who would say "take care" when lovers part? Only classmates or friends say "take care" when they part. This is a sad farewell song.

Zhao Xiaogu now believes that this song was written by Chen Qing for his college classmate who went abroad to study. After all, she only knows one person who has influenced Chen Qing in all the time they've been together. Although it's just an influence in accent, it shows that person holds a special place in Chen Qing's heart.

"Great, great! I didn't expect your voice to be so suitable for this song, Teacher He. It seems you could consider releasing songs for this kind of album in the future." Huang Sanshi praised Teacher He immediately, and then said to Chen Qing, "This is a farewell song, right? It seems we'll have another song to sing during graduation season in the future."

"Teacher He, you're amazing! It seems you have the potential to develop into a singer. I'll write you another song when I have the chance."

Chen Qing was a little surprised by Teacher He's singing skills in this world. They were better than what he had heard in his previous life. Strangely, he did not continue down the path of a singer. Logically speaking, with such singing skills and voice, he should have a place in the music industry. After all, his popularity is undeniable.

After responding to Teacher He's performance, Chen Qing then responded to Teacher Huang's words, "Yes, this is a farewell song. I originally thought Teacher He's singing would be good, but I didn't expect it to be so good." "Teacher He is awesome!" Zhao Xiaogu, Nazha, Meimei, and Peng Peng all gave Teacher He a thumbs up.

Teacher He was naturally delighted by everyone's praise. Although he had heard a lot of praise when he recorded this song, it was nothing compared to the praise from people around him. In particular, the high recognition from Chen Qing, the original creator of the song, filled him with confidence.

"Thank you. It's mainly because Xiao Chen's song and lyrics are so well written. I feel like it was tailor-made for me. I feel very comfortable singing it." Teacher He responded modestly, giving the credit to Chen Qing.

Everyone knew that Teacher He was being modest, but they also agreed with what he said. Such a high-quality song could be sung with the same flavor by some professional singers, and Chen Qing herself was fully capable of handling it. The reason she sang for Teacher He was simply because they were friends.

After listening to He Jiong sing "The Distance of Longing", the fans in the live broadcast room also left comments in the barrage.

"I never expected Teacher He to sing so well. He's amazing! This song is fantastic."

"With this song as a foundation, who would dare say that our Teacher He is not a professional singer?"

"I'll learn it right away and sing it to my friend far away. I miss him so much."

"As a fan of Teacher He, I would like to thank Brother Chen. This song is really perfect for Teacher He to sing. It's like it was tailor-made for him."

"Heh! This is what they call 'running out of ideas'? I don't believe your nonsense. I'll slap you and give you a thumbs up."

"You're too naive upstairs! You actually believed what that devil said. For Brother Chen, songs are only a matter of whether he wants to write them or not. There's no such thing as whether he can write them or not."

"The top floor is bright and airy."

It was 9:30 p.m., the peak time for online viewers. As soon as He Jiong finished singing "The Distance of Longing," it went viral on major video platforms and short video websites, and naturally became a trending topic.

Teacher He gave a stunning premiere performance of his new song "The Distance of Longing" on the show "Back to Field"!

"When Xiao Chen claimed he had run out of creative ideas, He Jiong surprised everyone by performing 'The Distance of Longing,' a song written and composed by Xiao Chen."

"Another new song for graduation season: 'The Distance of Longing,' with lyrics and music by Xiao Chen and sung by Teacher He, premiered and amazed everyone."

Looking at the three spots on the trending topics list, Lao Wang couldn't stop smiling. Chen Qing's new song "My Favorite," which she performed that afternoon, was still trending! And now it's trending three more times tonight. Their shows don't seem to need money to trend!
Three dozen beers for three trending topics – not a bad deal, not a bad deal at all! They made a killing, and their wallets are bulging again.

"Brother Chen is truly our show's lucky star! As long as he's around, we never have to worry about not getting on the trending topics list, and the quality of the topics is top-notch."

"It's a pity he still refuses to leave the village, otherwise we wouldn't have to worry about it at all next season."

Listening to what the deputy islander said, Lao Wang sighed deeply. This was also his biggest worry. The village was indeed nice, but why were they unwilling to leave? Was the air outside toxic, or was the money offered by the production team not good enough?
