Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Few people know that Meng Chuan can write songs.

However, Huo Wanxi personally witnessed Meng Chuan creating "Rare Characters" on the spot.

Moreover, although the lyrics and music for her song "Learning to Meow" are credited to "Meng Po Guild", the actual creator is Meng Chuan.

Huo Wanxi had always longed for Meng Chuan to write another song for her.

However, she rarely even gets to see Meng Chuan, let alone get him to reply to her messages.

Today, she finally met Meng Chuan in person.

Faced with this rare opportunity, she mustered her courage and asked him to sing a song on the spot.

Why did I suddenly want a song like this?

Meng Chuan frowned, a hint of doubt in his voice.

If Huo Wanxi had made such a request in private, Meng Chuan would probably have refused without hesitation.

He always believed that a good man should not leave any woman with room for imagination.

However, there were hundreds of spectators at the scene, and more than 15 million netizens were watching the live stream.

A direct refusal would be inappropriate and would seem deliberate.

Huo Wanxi sighed softly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes:

“Meng Chuan, you may not know this, but I am also a child from the countryside, just like you. My parents have sacrificed so much for me.”

She paused, her voice slightly downcast:

“When my mom used to sew clothes, she always complained that my sewing was not good and told me not to mess it up.”

"But when she went home for the holiday this time, she actually asked me to help her thread the needle because her eyesight is not as good as before, and she can't thread it correctly."

"At that moment, I realized that my parents were really getting old. The price of our growth is that they gradually grow old."

At this point, Huo Wanxi's eyes were filled with hope:

"So, I want to write a song about parents, dedicated to my parents, and to all parents in the world."

Her words not only moved the audience at the scene, but also resonated with countless netizens in the live broadcast room.

The screen was instantly flooded with comments like "tears welling up" and "moved".

Parents' love is as deep as the sea, and many people may have had moments when they suddenly realize that their parents are getting old.

Meng Chuan's heart was also touched.

He turned to look at the crowd, his gaze falling on his parents.

Meng Jianguo and Zhang Mei were standing in the crowd, looking at him with pride.

In this life, he finally became his parents' pride.

In his previous life, he was a complete failure.

Even though the whole world despised him, his parents always loved him deeply.

Huo Wanxi's words stirred a strong impulse in Meng Chuan's heart—he also wanted to sing a song for his parents, to express the love that was usually difficult to say.

"I wonder if anyone here can play the guitar?"

Meng Chuan suddenly asked in a loud voice.

"I, I will."

A young man timidly raised his hand.

Meng Chuan was taken aback, then recognized the other person:

"Meng Jixiang?"

This is Meng Jixiang, his elementary school classmate and fellow villager.

Meng Jixiang was not academically inclined from a young age. After graduating from junior high school, he became obsessed with music and became a "wandering singer".

Many people in the village looked down on him, thinking he was a good-for-nothing.

Before Meng Chuan's rebirth, Meng Jixiang still hadn't made a name for himself.

"Meng Chuan, do you still remember me?"

Meng Jixiang looked at Meng Chuan with some excitement.

He hasn't been back to the village for three years.

Because of Meng Chuan, his family opened a food stall, and their lives are much better than before.

He came back this time because his parents were pressuring him to get married and have children.

He's only eighteen, he still has musical dreams, and he doesn't want to think about marriage so early.

He even had a big argument with his parents last night because of this.

If Huo Wanxi hadn't suddenly come to the village, he might have already left for distant lands again.

"We were classmates, and you've matured quite a bit in the years we haven't seen each other."

Meng Chuan smiled and patted Meng Jixiang on the shoulder, then said to the live stream camera:

"Come on, let me introduce you all. This is my elementary school classmate, Meng Jixiang. Back in the village elementary school, he even fought for me!"

A burst of good-natured laughter rang out, and the live stream chat instantly became lively.

Meng Jixiang was flattered, never expecting that Meng Chuan, now a star in the public eye, would still treat him so kindly.

Hello everyone.

Meng Jixiang greeted him somewhat nervously.

"Don't be nervous. I recently wrote a song, but I haven't composed the music yet. I'll sing, and you can accompany me on the instrument, how about that?"

Meng Chuan said encouragingly.

Meng Jixiang nodded solemnly, then ran downstairs and carried his slightly chipped wooden guitar.

"We are not good at expressing our love to our parents, and this song is what I want to say to my parents."

Meng Chuan took a deep breath and slowly spoke:

"When young, one does not know the kindness of one's parents; half a lifetime is spent in a daze..."

As Meng Chuan's singing began, Meng Jixiang's guitar playing followed.

His fingering was skillful, his chords precise, and he perfectly captured the emotional ups and downs of the song.

The deep vocals intertwined with the guitar melody.

It actually gives people the feeling that they are a match made in heaven.

The lyrics of "When I was young, I didn't know the kindness of my parents" are simple, yet every line touches the heart.

The audience gradually quieted down, and many people had tears in their eyes.

When Meng Chuan sang the chorus, the entire venue seemed to be enveloped by an invisible aura:

It's not time that steals our parents' youth; it's us who steal it...

The saying "Of all virtues, filial piety is the most important" resonates in my heart. I only hope that they will no longer worry about me...

I am grateful to my parents for bringing me into this world, yet we spend our entire lives saying goodbye to them...

As the song ended, the venue fell silent, followed by enthusiastic applause.

The live stream chat was once again flooded with comments like "tears in my eyes" and "moved".

Many people couldn't resist picking up their phones and sending a long-awaited greeting to their parents back home.

Meng Chuan's parents, Meng Jianguo and Zhang Mei, stood in the crowd, their faces already wet with tears.

They didn't understand why their son felt so deeply.

They felt as if they hadn't done anything for any particular reason.

Everything they did is what any parent in the world should do.

They even felt that they had never really worried about Meng Chuan from childhood to adulthood.

Apart from my senior year of high school, when teachers frequently called my parents in.

The rest, on the contrary, felt guilty for not being able to provide Meng Chuan with a better life.

Zhang Mei, sobbing, held Meng Jianguo's hand tightly and whispered:

“Our son has really grown up.”

Meng Jianguo blinked quickly, forcibly wiping away his tears.

"Hmph! This brat, instead of studying, he's writing songs, what a waste of his time. I'll have to give him a good talking to later."

Meng Jianguo, with a stern face, snorted.

However, his gaze toward Meng Chuan was still filled with pride.

Zhang Mei rolled her eyes at Meng Jianguo.

If she hadn't seen Meng Jianguo's red eyes, she almost would have believed it.

Huo Wanxi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled as she said to Meng Chuan:

"Meng Chuan, thank you. This song is so touching. May I sing it?"

This is exactly the song she longed for.

Meng Chuan truly understands her.

This made Huo Wanxi's gaze towards Meng Chuan even more affectionate.

"can."

Meng Chuan nodded, then put his arm around Meng Jixiang's shoulder again and said:

"Everyone, and all the viewers in the live stream. I haven't seen Meng Jixiang for many years and would like to catch up with him. Excuse me."
