0713: You who shine in the parallel world

After recording the variety show, Yu Yu returned to the capital to prepare for moving. It was only at this time that others discovered that he had actually bought a house in the capital and was about to move in.

"That's really not very kind of you, Xiaoyu. You didn't even tell us a single word before." Wang Yuexin pointed fingers and complained in the group.

Lu Hu also posted an emoji of a young boy crying: "Yuyu actually bought a house without saying a word, and now even the decoration is done and we can move in directly. Wow, I'm not the first one to know about this."

"Well, I indeed didn't reveal it to you. After all, Yu Shao only told me. He probably asked about home renovation and decoration, and there's nothing else. Don't think too much about it." Su Xing sent a seemingly ordinary but actually boastful sentence.

Zhang Yuan was unhappy when he saw this: "It is important for a person to know himself. What do you know about home decoration? Your house is a mess. If it weren't for Sister Chen taking care of it, it would be uninhabitable at all."

"I'm afraid Yu Yu mentioned it to you after he had prepared everything. Didn't you two go out to eat barbecue together before?" Wang Zhengliang hit the nail on the head.

"Alright, alright, I know you are just jealous of my special position in Yu Yu's heart. No need to say more, the sour taste has already wafted over. I understand it all. It's human nature to be envious. Look at how calm Tan Sheng is. You should all learn from big brother." Looking at other people's speeches, Su Xing's smug face was clearly visible behind the words.

Chen Xinsheng took a look, and his 36.5-degree fingers slowly typed a string of cold words that were imprinted into Su Xing's heart: "What to learn? Yuyu told me a long time ago, and also asked me about the decoration team. I introduced my previous team to him."

"...?"

“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

The others just let out a long string of hahahas and copied and pasted them to keep in formation, which was a bit annoying to Su Xing.

"@咸鱼翻身继续卧平 Come out and explain what you said to me before??? Explain clearly or I will make a scene!"

"Salted Fish Head-On.jpg, when I said I only told you, I meant that I was going to move in soon. I only told you, that's right. I didn't even tell Brother Sheng about this. If you don't believe me, go ask him."

Shengge is an honest man who never teases cats (manually funny), he directly replied: "It is true that you haven't said you will move in, when are you going to move in? We can go and help warm up the house."

"How about next Saturday? I'll clean up the new house these few days, buy some things, and equip it with all the equipment. Then we'll have enough food, drinks, and musical instruments. You all have to come if you're free. If you don't come, I'll have no choice but to write it down in my little notebook."

After Yu Yu said this, the brothers in the re-employment group said that they would definitely make time to go to his new home and make a scene, even if it meant tearing down his new home. Even Su Xing said that he would definitely go, after all, he was at least one of the only two people who knew that Yu Yu had a new home.

After this was settled, Yu Yu casually threw the location of his new home into the group. The location address showed that it was a high-end villa area that had just opened in the capital in recent years. Not only did it have a superior geographical environment, but even when looking at houses, one had to check the assets first to see if one was eligible.

Su Xing took a deep breath and leaned back: "You actually bought a house here?"

"Yes, that's why I asked Brother Sheng about his decoration company before." Yu Yu replied. After all, Chen Hesheng currently lives in a villa area, and playing music in his own basement will not disturb the neighbors. However, his new home is still a bit far from Chen Hesheng's community and is not in the same area.

“So am I going in the wrong direction? Is it possible to make this much money by shooting short videos on YouTube?” Wang Yuexin was also confused.

"That's not it. I also did some other things."

According to Yu Yu's travel photography technique, he can't make much money. He makes money from other industries. Not to mention Query, he actually owns an independent music studio specializing in film and television soundtracks and symphonies, and a production and distribution company that makes hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

Otherwise, how could he have had so many overseas channels to distribute records to Su Xing and discuss composing cooperation with Lu Hu?

Due to language issues, these European and American companies are actually not very interested in the works of Chinese stars, and they don't have much sincerity. Most of the time, except for China's top stars, they ignore all others.

However, even though he had been financially independent long ago, Yu Yu could not completely break away from that family. He could not compete with an economic and political giant.

This is a very realistic problem, and it is completely different from his previous life - in that entertainment world, the higher his artistic achievements, the higher his social status. But this world is too complicated, which sometimes makes music no longer pure. Many talents are buried by capital with various channels and backgrounds, and even whether the singer sings with the microphone open becomes an advantage.

But isn’t singing with the mic on all the time a basic quality for a singer?

Yu Yu found it hard to understand. He insisted on pure art, just like his brothers, who had the most devout love for music and insisted on making his own music and going his own way.

But Yu Yu also understood that the purity that he and his brothers insisted on required the support of countless forces. He wanted to create the power for himself and them that could resist the complex world.

Yu Yu sent invitations to the house-warming party to all his former friends. Some said they would definitely come as soon as possible on that day, while some who did not have time could only regretfully say they would make an appointment later when they were free and sent a red envelope for moving.

On the day Yu Yu moved, he drove his car, dragging a large suitcase, and left the hotel where he had lived for more than a month. Apart from that, he did not have any other luggage. After all, he had just set up a home in China.

The Nordic-style decoration and brand-new furniture made the three-story villa look even more deserted and impersonal, but it was quiet. Yu Yu packed her luggage for a while and went to the backyard to set up a barbecue grill. The neighbors around had not moved in yet, and the occupancy rate of the entire villa area was actually not high. Most people bought this place just to have a place to stay for vacation or business trips in the future.

The community is built around a lake and there is a small hill nearby. It has beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate, and is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it a great place for a weekend getaway.

Not long after, the doorbell rang. Yu Yu went to the front yard and saw that there were three people who arrived first.

Seeing them, he couldn't help but smile: "If the three of you came together, you came here together after playing ball, right?"

"Look at it, I don't want to stand with them, but isn't this convenient?" Zhang Yuan said, handing the moving gift to Yu Yu, "This is a painting, but I think it doesn't match the decoration style of your house..."

"It's okay, I like to mix and match, thank you Yuanyuan! ~" Yu Yu gave Zhang Yuan a hug directly, and then hugged another person, "Oh, isn't this Old Yao? It seems that Mr. Yao will not work overtime today."

"That's right. Workers can't work overtime every day. You said you'll move on Saturday, so I have to make time." Yao Zhen patted Yu Yu on the back. "I brought you good stuff, Xiaoyu. It's much better than someone coming here empty-handed."

It is indeed good stuff, two bottles of good aged tea.

"Hey, where am I now, Old Yao? Your attitude is a bit arrogant. Didn't your team just win one point?" Su Xing heard that what he said was not right, and immediately retorted, "Look at you, if you hadn't twisted your foot far away and we were short of one person, how could you stand here and be so arrogant."

"Hey, Brother Yuan, did you sprain your foot? How are you now? Don't stand at the door, come in and sit for a while." When Yu Yu heard that Zhang Yuan's foot was injured, she quickly took his arm and brought him into the house.

Zhang Yuan is much better now, he just twisted his ankle out of habit. But it's better not to have this habit, Yu Yu advised him to go to the hospital when he has time, so as to avoid it becoming a habitual dislocation later.

Su Xing and Yao Zhen walked around the house. When they reached the living room, Su Xing saw the ultra-thin TV hanging on the wall and immediately patted Yao Zhen on the shoulder: "In fact, the relationship between Yu Shao and I cannot be measured by material things, money, or other external things."

"Well, so you won't give me anything?"

"But in order to add more color to the world with few fish, some material possessions are still necessary, so I moved this large color TV in for him three days in advance. The size is just right. Now when he turns on the TV, lies on the sofa, and watches a football game, it's so cool."

As Su Xing spoke, he turned on the TV, picked up the remote control, and threw himself onto the sofa. His movements were smooth and seamless, as if he was back home.

Yao Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "Don't break my new sofa."

"It's okay, Lao Yao, it's up to you. If the quality of this sofa is not good, I still have seven days to return it without any reasons." Yu Yu waved his hand.

The second group to arrive was Chen Qisheng. He picked a guitar for Yu Yu, and Yu Yu decided to use this guitar for accompaniment tonight without saying a word.

The next to arrive were Lu Hu and Wang Yuexin. They came together and gave Yu Yu a lawn mower. They had heard that Yu Yu's villa had grass in the front and back yards, so the lawn mower, a relatively unpopular machine in China, came in handy.

Wang Zhengliang is currently an external professor at Bashu Conservatory of Music. As he had some other matters at the school, he did not come to the housewarming event this time. However, he sent Yu Yu two sincere red envelopes in advance. Why two?

"Because I'm Liang."

"...6." Yu Yu sent a thumbs-up emoji.

The last person to arrive was Yu Haoming, whom I hadn't seen for a long time. His current career is mainly focused on filming, and he happened to not need to join the crew recently. He came to see his old friend and reminisce when he had time.

As the national younger brother fifteen years ago, Yu Haoming has become more mature and has grown into a powerful actor fifteen years later. In the beginning, he made countless efforts behind the scenes to get rid of the title of idol.

In fact, it was precisely because he was too eager to take on so many roles that an accident almost happened on the set. If Yu Yu hadn't been on the phone with him at the time, delaying the filming time, and the props for the explosion scene had exploded prematurely due to improper management, causing a fire, if he had performed normally, he and the actress acting opposite him might have suffered.

Perhaps it was the experience of brushing against the abyss that calmed his restless heart. Instead of constantly taking on roles to prove his work ability, he paid more attention to improving his acting skills. He also looked much more mature, stable and restrained... without meeting his brothers.

As soon as he arrived, he gave his brothers a warm hug and deliberately left aside his best friend Wang Yuexin. It was not until he saw Wang Yuexin pouting that he smiled and hugged him tightly. He then used his height advantage to "pull" him up from the ground and threw him around.

Wang Yuexin laughed and didn't mind, and the others were also used to it. The twin stars who came out of the same competition area and entered the finals hand in hand have been doing this for fifteen years.

"The weather is nice tonight and the wind isn't too strong. I set up a barbecue grill in the backyard, so let's go straight to the yard to have a barbecue. There are plenty of drinks and wine, and there are also rooms, so you can drink as much as you want. I believe you've been mentally prepared before you came, hahahaha."

Yu Yu opened the door to the backyard and said to Su Xing, who was watching the game on the sofa, "Allen, there is a projection screen in the backyard. We can watch the game together in the backyard!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Let's go!" Su Xing immediately picked up the cup and moved it into the backyard.

The night that belongs to the brothers of more than ten years is not long, but the barbecue charcoal fire, the brisk piano music, the intense ball game, the aged wine, and the cool breeze at night make time freeze into bright smiles on everyone's faces.

Looking at the people who were lying on the inflatable sofas and beach chairs drunk and tired after having fun and laughing, Yu Yu felt more relaxed and relieved than ever before.

He walked up to Chen Qiesheng, took the guitar that Chen Qiesheng had given him, and sat on the grass against the big tree in the backyard. He used his fingertips to slowly weave the melody buried deep in his heart on the strings, opened his mouth slightly, and his gentle singing became a poem on the moonlit night.

The breeze caresses the grass, depicting the shape of the waves, and the leaves rustle, like gentle waves, making the siren's ballad even more sad. Someone is singing in a low voice on the quiet grass. In the same night, there may be a siren in another sea. He raises his head, stares at the moonlight, and hums a lingering and bewitching tune for the sleeping traveler.

Maybe they won't remember the song after they wake up. They will only regard the hazy song as a common dream.

The last string sound was reduced to an inaudible hum. In the silent night, a voice sounded softly, as if afraid to disturb this fragile dream: "Is this song...new? I've never heard you sing it before."

Yu Yu knew who was asking the question. He put the guitar into his bag and answered softly, "It's an old song. I wrote it fifteen years ago, but I've never sung it before. Maybe I was in the mood today, or maybe the atmosphere was right, so I suddenly remembered it and sang it. This is a really good guitar. Brother Sheng spent a lot of money on it."

"He lives in a big villa too. He's just been keeping a low profile these years. He's earned all the money and won all the awards. Don't be polite to him." The other party joked, "Is that the song you never sang fifteen years ago? The one that originally belonged to the album '13'? I remember you wanted to name it 'Dream Catcher'?"

"Dream Catcher, dream catcher, dream net or dream chaser, you are really smart, Allen, you remember all of this, you have a good memory, then I will reward you and let me throw these guys who love to eat and drink into the house."

Fifteen years of being forced to withdraw from the competition was like a thorn that had been piercing Yu Yu's heart. However, he was too good at controlling his emotions, or too good at disguising all the negative aspects of himself. This self-control was much more serious than Zhang Yuan's. Su Xing understood this, and he knew that Chen Tansheng could see it as well.

And now, when everyone was in a state of half-dream, in the dead of night, Yu Yu sang again the song he had never touched before. Perhaps, it was just like what he had said that night in the Mushroom House, he was walking out of it on his own and pulling out the thorn with his own hands.
