0713: You who shine in the parallel world

It was not a pleasant feeling to live a new life and have something you loved most interrupted. The layers of shackles put on him by his family, especially his rigid grandfather, were not only suffocating, but at least even he felt annoyed.

"You probably all know my family, which is feudal and conservative to a lovely degree, especially my grandfather, who was in charge of the overall situation and firmly opposed me getting close to the entertainment industry and bringing shame to our ancestors. So in recent years, I became a YouTube blogger and exposed myself to his camera, which might be a silent resistance to him. If he didn't allow me to get close to music, then I would get close to the camera in another way. In fact, this idea was quite naive, but I was just angry at the time."

"This time when I went back, I saw him lying in bed seriously ill. He was so thin that only skin and bones were left, and his voice was weak and no longer as loud as before. In my eyes and in the eyes of the whole family, he used to be so majestic and powerful, and he could do everything. This strong sense of contrast even made me feel that everything in front of me was not real. He was in good health before, and he could live for many years, and he could still dominate the whole family for many years, until he was found to have cancer, and it was in the late stage."

"In fact, it has been three years since he was diagnosed with advanced cancer. For this disease, it is a miracle that he has persisted for so long. We even thought that he would get completely better. Unfortunately, illusions are illusions after all. Sometimes life is like this. There are too many injustices in life. Only death is always fair."

Three years ago, when his grandfather was diagnosed with advanced cancer, Yu Yu could not tell how he should face it. He instinctively confided in his brothers, but he was not sure whether he wanted comfort or what kind of answer he wanted. However, the only good news was that when he suggested that his brothers should take their families for regular checkups, Zhang Yuan's father was also diagnosed with cancer. However, he was in the early stages and received timely treatment, and his condition is currently stable.

"Now that my grandfather has passed away, it would be hypocritical to say that I am not relieved. I am indeed relieved. I breathed a sigh of relief, and my whole body relaxed, as if I finally don't have to worry about too many things. If I were a little more rebellious, I would even want to say that I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

Lu Hu comforted him: "Don't say angry words."

"Is this just an angry remark? Not really." Yu Yu's calm voice was finally tinged with self-mockery and a wry smile. "But on the other hand, I know it clearly in my heart, but I never want to explain it this way - after all, he is my grandfather. Even though he was so strict that I felt like a stranger in the family, it is impossible to say that I really have no feelings for him."

"Did he really not know about my rebellious actions over the years? He just turned a blind eye to them."

With my grandfather's ability, his vests were not secrets at all, but as long as they were not completely exposed in the media, he just pretended not to see them. This might be the greatest indulgence and concession to maintain the family's dignity, of course, it could just be because he really didn't expose them.

"As for myself...if I really hated and didn't care about that family, I wouldn't have kept compromising and selling out my dreams. So I understand all of this. Understanding is one thing, and being able to control your emotions is another. But there's nothing I need to be counseled about. Your company is my best medicine. As for the rest, I will get over it on my own. I can only deal with my family's affairs on my own."

"This is probably what I deserve. I deserve it. The compromise of love determines the success or failure of half a life. This applies to me and also to my grandfather." Yu Yu raised the wine glass, drank the remaining liquid in it in one gulp, and filled it up again.

The so-called shackles were put on him by his family at first, but he tightened them himself in the end. If his grandfather really didn't care about him, he would never have debuted as a Query. Similarly, if he really didn't care about that family, he could have severed ties with them and made a scene known to everyone.

So, humans are not purely rational creatures.

Yu Yu raised his glass and asked his brothers to clink glasses. But perhaps because his analysis of himself was too rational and thorough and he didn't want to talk, the others still looked strange, but they still clinked glasses in the end.

Chen Qisheng sighed. He didn't know whether he saw that Yu Yu didn't want to talk much or something else, so he changed the subject, or rather, brought the topic back: "Yu, I don't know if everything you said now is what you really think in your heart, or if you just don't want us to worry. In fact, no matter what, it's OK, as long as you are willing to talk and say it out, we are all here, and what you carry will never be a burden to us. Between us, we don't need too much concept of 'for your own good', do you understand what I mean?"

"Of course, brother, I understand, I understand everything." Yu Yu felt both bitter and warm in his heart. He smiled and clinked glasses with him.

"Well, let's not dwell on it now. The fish said that it deserved it, and the rest of us should also say that we deserved it. No need to think about the specific lyrics, just talk about it."

"Brother Sheng, this idea is right. We all need to write a song together. We don't have to use just one story. We can use our own stories." Yu Yu nodded and turned to look at Wang Yuexin. "Yuexin, according to the age order, it's your turn after I finish speaking."

Wang Yuexin was deeply moved by Yu Yu's words. Perhaps he thought of his own affairs and stopped dwelling on them. When Yu Yu cueed him, he scratched his hair and said, "It's my turn now. What should I say?"

"Just talking, just chatting." The thoughtful Lu Hu took over the conversation, "For example, how have you been recently?"

"Well, it's probably not good."

Chen Kesheng didn't like Wang Yuexin's answer. Today, these two brothers of the same age made him worry a lot: "How can you say it's not good? Yuexin, if you are doing something you like and still say it's not good, it's very embarrassing."

Thinking of what Yu Yu had just said, thinking of how he had accompanied him through the most difficult times, thinking of all the things he had done for him before, Wang Yuexin waved his hand: "No, Brother Sheng, I'm not talking about my career, but my life. You know, those aspects are actually difficult to eliminate in a short time."

To this day, there are still people chasing him and scolding him on various platforms, which is difficult to avoid in the Internet environment.

Chen Qisheng looked at him, then looked at Yu Yu who started to gnaw on the chicken feet, and sighed: "Maybe you just need time to digest yourself, I hope."

"Don't worry about this, brother. I have an iron stomach and my digestive ability is top-notch." Yu Yu immediately raised his claws, chicken claws.

That night, seven people who had not gathered together for a long time sat around a low table, eating snacks, drinking tea, chatting, and playing music, just like brothers who had been together for a lifetime and would never be separated.

Everyone present, except Wang Zhengliang and Su Xing who can drink but not too much due to their old problem of crispy skin, and Yu Yu who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, is not a person who can drink a lot of tea. After drinking Chenchen's Heytea, they opened a box of beer tea. Before they finished the box, most people had already started to get drunk and say nonsense that could not be broadcast on the air.

Wang Yuexin could hardly stand, but she still wanted to pick up the chalk and write the words "0713 Together Forever" on the blackboard. The idea was good, but what she wrote might be more suitable to appear on yellow talisman paper.

Chen Hesheng held the microphone tightly and sang "The Original Me" at least three times. Lu Hu and Zhang Yuan danced beside him. Wang Zhengliang, who had a good alcohol tolerance but could not drink much, picked up the hand drum and beat out one inspiring rhythm after another.

After having fun to the end, they were still not satisfied, so they moved the singing machine into the room, turned off the lights, and continued dancing in the dark. A new round of "The Original Me" began, and it was very likely that Chen Qisheng ordered the song on repeat.

As one of the only two people who were sober and mentally stable, Su Xing used his mobile phone - yes, at the beginning he managed to keep the mobile phone with his eloquence and it was not confiscated - to record everyone's crazy state.

Finally, Su Xing was so sleepy that he could only hug the quilt and curl up in the corner, leaving most of the bed to the others who were dancing on the bed. Looking at Yu Yu who was also awake but still had the energy to join in the fun, he couldn't help but sigh that it was great to be young.

To be honest, since he had the ability to take a nap anywhere, Yu Yu never worried about dying suddenly from staying up late to cultivate. After all, he could make up for the lack of sleep and rest by taking a car anytime and anywhere. Unfortunately, he had the energy to make a scene, but his brothers were probably too exhausted to continue, and they all lay down soon.

Looking at his brothers who had fallen asleep, Yu Yu could only lie obediently between Su Xing and Chen Tansheng, acting as a solid barrier for Su Xing. He pulled up the quilt, closed his eyes, and after three seconds, his breathing slowed down and he fell asleep directly.

Su Xing, who could not close his eyes until everyone else was quiet, had not yet fallen asleep when he realized that the person who was just talking next to him had completely stopped talking. He sat up, activated the Lens Hunter in the dark to passively and accurately capture the camera hanging in the corner, and spread his hands towards Yu Yu, speechless.

At this time, Chen Xiansheng turned over, put one hand on Yu Yu, and hugged him tightly out of habit. Yu Yu, who had just fallen asleep, was not awakened by his sudden strangulation, and was still sleeping soundly. Su Xing frowned immediately, spread his hands again, pointed at Yu Yu and Chen Xiansheng, nodded his head, expressed shock and confusion, then shook his head, lay down and closed his eyes.

Yu Yu sleeps very peacefully, rarely moving, at most turning over, and never snoring, grinding teeth, or talking in sleep. He is as quiet as a good baby, and no matter how loud the outside world is, it has nothing to do with him. But his biological clock is very punctual, and he wakes up automatically at a certain time every day. Even if he takes time to take a nap during the day, he will wake up on time after 20 minutes. No one knows how he does it.

It was the same now. He fell asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning, but woke up at 5:30 in the morning. After waking up, Yu Yu felt something was wrong. He looked around and found that Chen Tansheng was gone, and the person next to him was Wang Yuexin, who was snoring loudly.

He quietly sat up and looked around. Wang Zhengliang, who was beside Wang Yuexin, was gone. Only Lu Hu, who was snoring quietly, and Zhang Yuan, who had his back to them, were left.

The two missing elder brothers might have been tortured by the snoring and fled to the opposite room to sleep overnight, Yu Yu guessed. His sleep quality was so good that he was never disturbed by the outside world, so he slept particularly comfortably.

He climbed out of bed, changed into a sports suit for morning exercise, picked up his toiletries, glanced at the double bed room with the closed door on the other side, walked out, and unexpectedly found Wang Zhengliang sitting on a chair outside the door, warming himself by the fire, wearing the military coat donated by the program crew.

"Brother Liang, why are you sitting here? Why don't you go inside and lie down?" Yu Yu asked in a low voice for fear of disturbing the people who were still sleeping in the house.

"Oh, don't mention it." Wang Zhengliang smiled bitterly and explained to Yu Yu, who slept until dawn, what happened at night.

It turned out that Wang Yuexin woke up from the cold in the middle of his sleep and found that he had no quilt. Wang Zhengliang felt sorry for him and handed him his quilt to take care of his brother. He wanted to go to the single room on the other side to get a bed quilt, but Chen Hesheng, the "deserter" who "betrayed" them, couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because of Wang Yuexin's snoring and ran to the single room to sleep. It would have been fine if he ran away, but he even locked the door and kept Wang Zhengliang out.

Poor Xiao Liang had no quilt and couldn't sleep because of the snoring in the room, so he had to put on his coat and run outside to warm himself by the fire.

"This brazier doesn't keep you warm at all. You might as well use the bonfire I left last night to burn firewood. Brother Liang, come in. I'm getting up and ready to go out for a morning run. You can go to my place and sleep for a while. Use my quilt. Even if you can't sleep, it's more comfortable to lie down. Look at your dark circles. Staying up late can cause hair loss. Go and get some rest." Yu Yu pulled Wang Zhengliang up and found that his hands were frozen cold. She rubbed his hands again, "Don't catch a cold."

Wang Zhengliang really couldn't hold on any longer, so he went into the room and lay down in Yu Yu's place.
