Chapter 30 No, you really know how?
The screen, which had been gradually dimming, lit up again, and the camera zoomed out like an aerial shot, gradually panning to the village surrounding the cabin.
The audience had all left the village lanes, leaving only a few children chasing each other along the country road, their laughter filling the air with childlike innocence and a touch of liveliness.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen were stunned for a moment, but Mr. Shen was the one who reacted.
"Does this ending even have an end credits song?"
Shen Wanwan shook her head blankly; she wasn't quite sure either.
"It's actually sung by Xu An?"
As Shen's father watched Xu An, who was running past several children in the video and gradually emerging from under the tree with a guitar, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"You directors really will stop at nothing to get more viewers!"
Shen's father subconsciously assumed that Chen Hong planned to use a somewhat humorous song, like "Attitude Towards Life," as the ending theme.
Then, he heard Xu An gently pluck the strings, and a melancholic melody flowed out. Xu An seemed like a different person; his carefree demeanor from the daytime was gone, replaced by that of a somewhat lonely traveler. He softly sang:
That laughter reminded me of...
My Flowers
In every corner of my life
Quietly driving for me
I once thought I would be forever
Stay by her side
Today we have departed
In the vast sea of people
……
Shen Wanwan's home suddenly fell silent.
In the capital, Bai Ge, who was watching a program at home, suddenly lost the faint smile on her face.
Looking at Xu An on the screen, whose expression seemed somewhat unfamiliar, she suddenly realized that she had never truly understood Xu An.
Is he really just a college student who hasn't graduated yet?
Listening to Xu An's story-filled voice, Bai Ge became curious about Xu An's experiences for the first time.
On the television screen, Xu An continued singing:
They must be getting old.
Where are they?
Fortunately
I accompanied them to the opening ceremony.
La la la la
Missing her
La la la la
Is she still operating?
La la la la
Go!
They have been blown away by the wind.
Scattered at the ends of the earth
……
In a practice room of a company in Shanghai, several girls gathered together watching a man singing on a screen in the practice room, and then all turned their gaze to another girl.
"Zhaoyue, didn't you say he couldn't do anything? But you were totally amused by him on the show, and he even sings so well?"
One of the girls asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoyue gritted her teeth.
How did she know that Xu An actually sang this song on the show!
It was even used as the ending theme song for the show!
but……
As Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Xu An's sorrowful face on the screen, a thought suddenly arose in her mind.
He looks even better like this!
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Jiang Zhaoyue quickly shook her head.
She must be possessed to have such a thought.
No, I'm going to dance practice now, I can't watch anymore!
Thinking this, Jiang Zhaoyue did not move.
Okay, I'll go after I finish listening to the song.
Although I don't like Xu An, his song is indeed a good song.
Jiang Zhaoyue wasn't the only one who felt this way. At this moment, in the small control room, the assistant director couldn't help but shout as he looked at the program's ratings on television and its popularity on video platforms.
"Director Chen, the viewership rating has broken 2%, the popularity index on the video platform has exceeded 50,000, and the market share has reached 40%!"
"It exploded! It really exploded!"
Chen Hong looked at the rapidly scrolling comments on the screen in front of her. Although she was somewhat prepared, she was still pleasantly surprised.
"Xu An's song instantly boosted the show's popularity by 30%. Director, having him sing the ending theme was definitely a smart move."
"The comments section also gave this song high praise."
The assistant director then exclaimed.
He was right; at that moment, the comments section was flooded with messages like a bursting torrent.
【!! Dude, are you serious?】
【Wow, you're really good at that?】
[I thought you were a comedian, but you've come clean and stopped pretending? You can just casually sing a killer song?]
[Wait, this isn't right. Shouldn't you be singing "The house is on fire and I'm taking pictures"?]
[Wait, if you're so capable, why didn't you say so earlier? I thought I was here to laugh at you, but I've become the laughing stock!]
These are viewers who thought Xu An was only good at creating entertainment, only to find that they themselves were the source of the entertainment.
[I'm older, and I was just accompanying my daughter to watch the show for fun, but this song made my eyes water.]
Yes, hearing this song reminded me of my first love. I wonder how he is doing?
I'm reminded of my best friend from college. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. He didn't tell me, didn't ask me for money, and deleted me from his contacts. I only found out later...
I'm thinking of my dad; he just passed away last month...
These are people whose emotions were stirred up by the lyrics.
In the living room of the cottage, although she had heard it once before, Yan Wei still looked at Xu An with complicated eyes, and then asked the question that she had asked before.
"When you were writing this song, who was on your mind?"
Xu An ignored Yan Wei's complicated expression beside him, instead tossing a potato chip into his mouth and lazily saying:
"Didn't I tell you? This song is from a dream I had."
"Maybe he's thinking about the person in his dream."
Xu An chewed on potato chips, his voice somewhat muffled.
On the screen, Xu An's singing continued to play.
Some stories are not yet finished.
Let's just forget about it then.
Those feelings in the years
It's already difficult to tell the difference between real and fake.
Now this place is overgrown with weeds.
No flowers
Fortunately, I once had your spring, autumn, winter and summer.
……
At Shen Wanwan's home, after listening to the song, Shen's father was somewhat dazed. After a long while, he whispered to Shen Wanwan, who had inexplicably fallen silent beside him:
"Xiao Wan, Dad was being biased just now. This Xu An does look pretty good. This song even reminds me of college..."
"If you want to be friends with him, I have no objection."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanwan did not show any surprise. Instead, she gave a sullen reply and stood up from the sofa, heading upstairs.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going upstairs to rest now. I have to rush over to record the show tomorrow."
Downstairs, Mr. Shen looked at Shen Wanwan, who was clearly in low spirits, and asked Mrs. Shen beside him, somewhat puzzled.
"What's wrong with Xiaowan? Why is she suddenly in a bad mood?"
Shen's mother, whose eyes were slightly red, did not answer his words, but instead glared at him fiercely.
"Who were you just thinking about from college?"
"Oh, you..."
……
Having already entered the bedroom, Shen Wanwan neither heard nor cared about the little drama about to begin downstairs, and bent down to lie on the bed covered with pink sheets.
I put my feet up, took out my phone, opened a social media app, and tapped on a chat window with a Patrick Star profile picture.
The message she sent not long ago is still preserved on it.
"Hey Uncle, the show's about to air, don't forget to watch! /smiley face"
Whether Xu An saw it or not, Shen Wanwan typed a few lines in the phone's input field and then deleted them.
She didn't know what to ask, but looking at Xu An's unfamiliar expression on the screen and remembering the stars in the sky that night, she felt a tightness in her chest.
Who was he thinking of when he sang this song?
Were they his parents, whom he hadn't seen in a long time?
Or was it some girl who appeared in his life even before him?
One thought after another popped into Shen Wanwan's mind.
Ding!
A notification message for special attention.
Shen Wanwan immediately looked at her phone.
"I've seen it, so what do you think? My singing wasn't bad, was it? /hands on hips"
"Want to know the secret to my amazing singing? / Mysterious"
Upon seeing these two messages, Shen Wanwan's slightly annoyed expression was immediately replaced by a smile.
She herself was unaware, and was just rapidly typing on her phone.
"What is it? I want to know! / Poor thing!"
"It's accompanied by the pop star's guitar! / Haha"
puff.
Shen Wanwan's bright smile instantly brightened the entire room.
