0713: You who shine in the parallel world

After Chen Kesheng helped his brothers diagnose paranoia and daydreaming one after another, Zhang Yuan collapsed in his chair with despair, and he was not moved at all by any of the word-connecting game questions that Zhao Hao gave him.

His dream of performing in the Spring Festival Gala is gone, and so is his dream of a paid vacation. Chen Tansheng, you have such a cruel heart.

Well, of course, sometimes you shouldn’t be too confident. When Zhao Hao threw out another “interesting” topic, Zhang Yuan still stood up straight and sat up straight—they were doing a very important live broadcast, and Zhang Yuan suddenly announced his relationship…

Of course he wanted to have fun with this joke, but when Su Xing handed the words "that woman" to Chen Xiansheng, and Chen Xiansheng smiled intriguingly and said "hard to say", Zhang Yuan clapped his hands again and collapsed back.

Okay, okay, every one of these guys is his good brother. They keep urging him, and whenever they mention this topic, they make fun of it. Although he, the main character, also has a lot of fun with his own jokes, why don't you guys make fun of Yu Yu like this, you bastard!

As if she had sensed Zhang Yuan's resentment, Yu Yu turned her head and looked at him inexplicably, blinking her big blue eyes, not realizing that her action was like flirting with Zhang Yuan.

Okay, that's enough. Zhang Yuan directly covered his face with his hands. What was he thinking? It doesn't matter if he looks like Yu Yu, single or not. Whatever he does, he can be forgiven. Beauty is justice!

Wang Zhengliang and Lu Hu were sandwiched between the two of them. Lu Hu did not notice their private interaction, but Wang Zhengliang saw it. He was somewhat speechless and somewhat amused and teased: "What are you two doing flirting with each other behind Sheng Ge and Allen's back?"

? Su Xing is fine, but what does it have to do with Brother Sheng? Yu Yu raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"I was thinking that since you all think it's hard to talk to that woman, then I'll think about which nursing home Yuyu and I will live in in the end." Zhang Yuan smiled and pressed his eyes, then pressed his face against the "suicide" button.

"What's the matter? From the look Xiaoyu gave you just now, have you even thought about the environment and facilities of the nursing home when you retire?" Wang Zhengliang pretended to be surprised.

Zhang Yuan was desperate: "Why not? You can go back and have someone to hug you, and you won't allow us to depend on each other."

"Uh, Brother Yuan, can we not go to the nursing home just the two of us?" Hearing this, Yu Yu weakly raised her hand to interrupt him.

"Hahaha!" Su Xing laughed and patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder. "You are being ignored, Yuan Yuan. You want to meet someone at the nursing home, but Yu Shao may not want to go with you."

...What a crap show! We can’t record it anymore! Zhang Yuan flipped the table.

"No, what I mean is that there are so many single-family manors for retirement living at home and abroad, why should we squeeze into a nursing home? My home doesn't have many advantages, but I have many houses. I can live wherever I want, anytime." Yu Yu spread his hands and explained. He said that he lived so comfortably at his own place. At most, he could just hire a few servants and caregivers. It was no big deal.

Zhang Yuan pulled back a table and said, "Yuyu, you have to know that you have been close to me since you were a child. When you first came, these old guys avoided you. I was the only one who played with you, right?"

"Are you playing with him? You clearly mistook him for a celebrity and didn't even know him. Anyway, you asked for his autograph first." Wang Yuexin mercilessly exposed Zhang Yuan's shortcomings, and then pretended to be pitiful to Yu Yu:

“Xiao Yu, look around, besides me, who else treats your first love as his own brother? I’m now divorced in middle age and have two kids. You can’t let me live out my life in loneliness.” I have to say that Mr. Wang, who has been desensitized, is really strong now. Compared to being able to live in a detached villa, it’s nothing for him to just play with the divorce joke himself.

"Oh, you are admitting your first love again, right? And after you mistook Yu Yu for a girl and caused a misunderstanding, you were so angry and sullen that you ignored her for such a long time, and now she's your brother?" Zhang Yuan retorted without mercy.

The others watched them expose each other's secrets and dark history, and they had a hard time trying not to laugh. Zhao Hao even wanted to make a special episode of Super Boy Memoirs for them. He thought that there must be a lot of absurd and funny pasts between them that only they knew about, so he really wanted to gossip about them. He believed that his fans also wanted to gossip.

After delivering a wave of hard advertising to the sponsor and playing the word-connecting game, today's recording finally came to an end. Everyone had been flying here since morning and it was already past midnight. The long standby time plus the physical work in the afternoon had already made most people exhausted.

Yu Yu was a physical monster, and he had quite a bit of energy, so he could even continue cleaning the goose shed. Seeing his brothers yawning after work, he asked Zhao Hao and his friends about where they were staying tonight.

"So are we staying here tonight or in a nearby town?" Yu Yu asked as he put away the microphone and returned it to the staff.

"We definitely won't be at sea. We'll be staying in a nearby town. Don't worry, the environment is pretty good this time and you'll definitely be able to live comfortably." Zhao Hao promised that the budget for accommodation this time would not be so strict, so he would provide the brothers with the best accommodation under the limited local conditions.

Yu Yu still believed this. He and his brothers took the boat back to the shore and got in the car. Zhao Hao said that it would take nearly half an hour to get to the hotel, so they could rest for a while and he would wake them up when they got there.

Lu Hu held the guitar and began to pluck the strings unconsciously. Part of the melody he played was quite similar to the new song "Let the Warm Wind Send You a Hug" in the new album he was tinkering with. This was a song that he had created in the framework of "Happy Start Again" before, and the inspiration came from their night talk at the seaside when they cried until they collapsed. The melody sounded warm and sincere, just like Lu Hu's personality.

However, Yu Yu could also tell that he was not playing exactly that new song. He should be creating his own second version, making the originally gentle melody even softer, like an improvised lullaby that did not sound noisy in the quiet carriage, just like a mother humming while patting her child gently by the bed.

Wang Yuexin was the child who was coaxed to sleep. He huddled in the back seat, hugging himself, his breathing becoming heavier.

Chen Xinsheng, Su Xing and Zhang Yuan were still quietly browsing their phones. Wang Zhengliang closed his eyes, but he was just listening to the melody of Land Rover and resting his eyes. He did not fall asleep.

Zhang Yuan was either doing odd jobs or using his spare time to check out the latest entertainment news. Su Xing, who often uses 5G to surf the Internet, was probably the same. Chen Qisheng was saying goodnight to his family. When he whispered that he and his brothers had just finished recording a show, he turned over the screen of his phone so that his brothers could also say hello to Sister Yun.

"Look, this person has fallen asleep." Chen Xinsheng pointed the screen at Wang Yuexin, who was already snoring softly on the other side.

Yu Yu didn't rest either. It was noon in the Free Country. He saw a message from someone he hadn't contacted for a long time on WhatsApp. Feeling that this person had bad intentions, Yu Yu didn't really want to reply.

Forget it, I'd better reply. Otherwise, given her personality, she might just call me directly.

As the Land Rover was playing, he looked up and found Yu Yu sitting in front of him staring at his phone without saying a word. Although he didn't know what happened, his intuition told him that Yu Yu was probably not in a good mood. He frowned slightly in worry, then relaxed his brows, chuckled, and whispered to Chen Qisheng who was sitting next to him:

"Brother Sheng, the song you and Yu Yu collaborated on before was so beautiful. The moment your voices blended together, my brain almost exploded. How could they be so compatible? It felt like the loneliest and cleanest sound made by a whale in the deep sea. And that guitar, in one word, was absolutely stunning, gentle and powerful. How did you do it?"

"Hmm? Dream Bridge?"

Chen Qisheng, who had just finished chatting with his family, put away his phone after listening to this, and a happy smile appeared on his face involuntarily. After all, that song was the one he had "pecked and begged" from Yu Yu - of course Yu Yu would never tell him that he didn't mind giving it to him at all, but it was rare to see Brother Sheng begging and trying to please others. Of course he had to keep hanging on a little longer, hehe - he himself was also very obsessed with that song recently.

“In fact, the original version of ‘Dream Bridge’ was more dreamy and ethereal, suitable for instrumental music rather than writing lyrics. Yu and I revised many versions before we got the final version we have today.” Chen Xisheng said that in fact, the version that Yu Yu sang while drunk at the beginning was not suitable for writing a song, but so what, Chen Xisheng just liked it, and even though he racked his brains to turn the melody into a song later, he was happy and content to do it.

Lu Hu curiously asked, "What was the original version like? I have never heard it before. Brother Sheng, Yu Yu, can you sing a part? Yu Yu?"

Yu Yu, who hadn't noticed what happened in the back seat, turned around when Lu Hu called his name for the second time, and then saw Lu Hu handing him his guitar. He took it without knowing why, and looked at Lu Hu in confusion. After listening to his patient explanation, Yu Yu finally reacted.

"Okay, 'Dream Bridge'. The initial demo is probably only suitable for humming." Yu Yu put down his phone, a hint of contemplation flashed across his eyes, and his fingers casually plucked the strings while he was thinking. But after a few seconds, he sorted out his thoughts and said directly to Chen Qisheng, "Then let's do it this way. Change it to the style of a lullaby. Qisheng, listen to it, like this."

Once it comes to the field of music, once he starts to seriously immerse himself in music and show his real skills, the usually playful Yu Yu becomes like a different person. He inadvertently reveals his ease and calm professionalism with an unquestionable magic. Within ten seconds, the song that has been polished into shape is transformed into a completely new image in his hands.

If he wasn't afraid of waking up Wang Yuexin, Lu Hu would have wanted to shout out loud cheers, this adaptation was so ingenious.

A serious look of urgency also emerged in Chen Xisheng's eyes. He watched Yu Yu's fingers plucking the strings without blinking. After listening to the opening melody twice, he already fully understood Yu Yu's ideas for the arrangement. This might be the resonance between musicians.

Although they have the same lyrics, the duet between the two has completely different feelings. Chen Qisheng's heart-breaking story-telling singing and Yu Yu's lingering and dreamy siren voice are intertwined, slowly weaving a dream made of candy wrappers, as if a sigh can shatter the dream.

Zhang Yuan didn't know when he put down his phone. He looked back at Land Rover and pouted: I want to cry, I really want to cry.

Lu Hu had a silly smile on his face, but his eyes were slightly red because he was moved: I want to cry too, I can't hold it back, I really can't hold it back.

Wang Zhengliang and Su Xing exchanged glances. Su Xing had already turned on the camera on his mobile phone when Yu Yu took the guitar. At this moment, he held the phone in one hand and gave Wang Zhengliang a thumbs up with the other hand, then nodded with a frown.

Wang Zhengliang directly gave two thumbs up, he had to give two.

Zhao Hao took out a tissue and wiped the corners of his eyes. He looked at the camera teacher unhappily and decided that he would get the material in Su Xing's hands no matter what.

"Wow, wow, wow..." Yu Yu and Chen Qiesheng had just reached the end of the song when they suddenly heard a subtle sob. The brothers turned their heads to look at the corner at the same time, only to see a crybaby wearing a hood and wiping his tears with his sleeves.

Lu Hu couldn't help laughing. He reached out and wiped Wang Yuexin's face: "Aren't you sleeping? Why are you crying again?"

"I did want to sleep," Wang Yuexin's voice was a little nasal and a little sticky, "but who can blame them for singing so beautifully? I couldn't help but feel this gentle and broken feeling."

Yu Yu laughed a little. Seeing that everyone in the car was awake, the melody of the guitar in his hand immediately became bold and cheerful: "Then you can't cry again, don't start crying, Brother Yuan hasn't cried yet."

"I cried, I cried again!" Zhang Yuan said, causing laughter in the car.

Arriving at the courtyard hotel, the brothers got out of the car one after another. Yu Yu was a step slow as he was helping Lu Hu pack up his guitar, and was the second to last to come out. Su Xing fell behind him and patted him on the shoulder when he got out of the car.

"Are you okay?"

Are these guys so sensitive? A group of sensitive skin, Yu Yu was silent for a moment, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, nothing, what can happen to me."

"That's right. Anyway, you don't tell us anything. It's a bit too formal, isn't it?"

Yu Yu laughed and hugged Su Xing's shoulders, who suddenly became arrogant and sarcastic: "Don't worry, my family urged me to go back, but I refused. We have a living artist now, and we can't fly over in the middle of recording the show."

Yu Yu had a good idea and felt that he was quite comfortable living far away from home, but just because he couldn't fly back didn't mean that others couldn't fly over.
