The longed-for village system

Chapter 282 The Most Romantic Thing
After He Jiong finished his performance, he handed the microphone to Chen Qing. Although Chen Qing had already sung a new song that afternoon, declaring that he had run out of ideas, would He Jiong believe it?
"Xiao Chen, sing a song! How can the Mushroom House party be complete without your singing!"

"Yes, yes, Teacher He is right. Everyone has to perform a show."

Seeing that Teacher He and Teacher Huang, the two parents, started clapping and cheering, Peng Peng and his sister naturally followed suit, and even Zhao Xiaogu happily clapped her little hands.

"Are you guys trying to force me to sing pop songs?" Chen Qing said helplessly, but what could he do? He could only take the guitar from Teacher Huang and start playing.

Viewers still in the live stream said they were in for a treat, as they didn't expect to hear two new songs in one day—what a bonus!
This time, Chen Qing is going to sing a sweet song, which belongs to the youth campus song. If you are a post-80s generation who watched Chinese animation in your previous life, you must have heard this song. This song is "Having Dreams is So Sweet" sung by Teacher Hu. When the animation "I'm Crazy for Singing" was released, this song was recommended by everyone.

When Chen Qing watched this anime, he was still in high school, and his classmates even learned this song together! Of course, they also teased the girls in the class to sing it.

As soon as the crisp sound of the guitar rang out, everyone immediately sensed the style of the piece; the very melodious and soothing tune instantly captivated their ears.

The pattering rain is like a six-stringed lyre.
Its tinkling sound is so melodious.
The mottled tree images are like a dream forest.
Leading me into the colorful mystery
The beautiful and elegant lyrics immediately captivated everyone; those who didn't know better might have thought they were listening to modern poetry! The imagery in the lyrics also calmed people down and allowed them to listen quietly.

The countless stars conceal my tiny secrets.
The cicadas' chirping in summer sings of my hopes for the future.
Dream Dream every day has a dream
Has a dream
It always feels so sweet to have dreams.
As the guitar accompaniment played, viewers in the live stream started flooding the chat with comments.

"So beautiful, the lyrics of this song are really beautiful, it feels like listening to Brother Chen reading modern poetry."

"Is this what Brother Chen meant by 'running out of ideas'? I don't believe you for a second! This song will just become another hit song on campus."

"Learn campus confession songs right away and sing them to your crush tomorrow."

"Hey upstairs, do you play guitar? Do you have Brother Chen's singing talent? And one last question, are you sure the other person won't mind?"

"I burst into tears after being told that. I'm clearly more handsome than Brother Chen, but Brother Chen can already have a baby with Goddess Xiao Gu, while I'm still single. Why is that? Isn't it supposed to be an era that judges people by their looks?"

"It just means you're broke."

As Chen Qing played the last note on his guitar under the awning, Zhao Xiaogu and the others immediately applauded. Zhao Xiaogu even praised him, saying, "Brother Chen is awesome! This song is super good. It feels like I'm back in my youth."

"You're so young now! Let's wait until we're old so you can reminisce about your youth!" Chen Qing reached out and gently stroked Zhao Xiaogu's pert nose, uttering a sweet, romantic remark.

Whether it's a girl or a woman, no one can resist such sweet words. Zhao Xiaogu was no exception. She nodded her head happily in response to Chen Qing's words, "Yes, yes! When we get old, I'll tell our children stories about our youth, and you can sing the songs you wrote for them. Just thinking about it makes me feel wonderful."

Seeing the young couple lost in their dreams, everyone felt like they'd been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). However, as they conjured up a scene in their minds, they also felt an extraordinary sense of warmth and romance.

Two people in love grow old together, and in their old age, their children and grandchildren sit around them, listening to them tell stories of their youth. This is true family bliss.

As he conjured up the beautiful scene in his mind, Chen Qing's hands began to move again, and the guitar music started playing once more. His reaction delighted everyone; it seemed they would be able to hear a brand new song, and it was bound to be a romantic one.

The happiest people were undoubtedly the production team. Old Wang and the others backstage were laughing out loud; the meal was well worth it, as it directly earned them several new songs from Chen Qing. Zhao Xiaogu, her reverie interrupted by the guitar music, gazed at Chen Qing with adoring eyes. How could her man be so talented! Just reminiscing about their future life together and yet another new song was coming out—she could only say she loved him to death.

Sitting back to back on the carpet
Listen to music and talk about your wishes
You want me to be gentler and gentler

I hope you keep me in your heart.

Upon hearing the lyrics, everyone was once again amazed by Chen Qing's talent. In just a few dozen seconds, he had written a new song. This song was clearly inspired by his earlier thoughts, and the following lyrics completely confirmed their suspicions.

The most romantic thing I can think of
Just growing old together with you

Until we're too old to go anywhere
I still consider you
treasure in the palm of your hand

Upon hearing Chen Qing's lyrics, Zhao Xiaogu revealed a look of infatuation. Although this man is not usually romantic, he still has a romantic heart, but he usually hides it and is unwilling to show it. Now he expresses it through the song.

The most romantic thing is not the sweet nothings of the moment, nor flowers and gifts, but growing old together and still loving each other deeply until death. That is the truly romantic thing.

Huang Sanshi was deeply moved by the song. He and his wife have always treated each other with respect and longed for such a life. It can be said that Chen Qing's song expressed his feelings.

Of course, he wasn't the only one with this thought. You could say that people who believe in love all hope for such days, so the beauty of this song makes them look forward to it, anticipate it, and pray for it.

The most romantic thing I can think of
Just growing old together with you

Collect every bit of laughter along the way

We can talk about it later while sitting in rocking chairs.

The second time, Zhao Xiaogu hummed along with Chen Qing's singing, and the two looked at each other with great understanding, their eyes revealing deep affection.

Naza looked at Zhao Xiaogu beside her, who was beaming with happiness, and felt very envious. Zhao Xiaogu had found the man who belonged to her, the man who cherished her and protected her with all his might. But what about Naza? In addition to being criticized by the entire internet, she had also lost a man who would have risked his life to protect her.

Although it's not nice to think this way, Nazha so wished that she was the woman Chen Qing was protecting. If it were her, she would definitely be very happy now, and she would have no regrets even if she had to leave the entertainment industry because of it.

"Clap clap clap!" The crowd gave another round of enthusiastic applause. Huang Sanshi was the first to speak, "Xiao Chen's song is so well written, so fitting for the occasion. This is the most romantic thing between husband and wife."

"Yes! It has nothing to do with flowers, bread, and milk. The most romantic thing is long-term companionship and mutual love. That's what love is." Teacher He said with feeling.
