Chapter 62 The Return Journey
Chapter 62 The Return Journey
After leaving Zhao Liying's dressing room, Lin Wanqing's gaze towards Xu Jinyan was already very strange.
First, she went into the house with Yang Mi, and as soon as she came out, Zhao Liying pulled her back in.
Although there were other people present, the two of them went to a secluded corner in Yang Mi's dressing room to whisper to each other.
Upon arriving at Zhao Liying's dressing room, Xu Jinyan took the initiative to ask to speak privately.
The key issue is that both of them are married. Although Lin Wanqing is in the same room, she can neither see nor hear clearly.
He looks exactly like an incompetent husband!
Sigh! I'm so tired.
So this time, she chose to ask a less subtle question: "Jinyan, who is your favorite character in *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*?"
Upon hearing this question, Xu Jinyan couldn't help but burst out laughing. He turned his head to the side:
"You don't actually think I have a crush on Prime Minister Cao, do you?"
Putting Yang Mi aside, he did indeed ask to speak privately in Zhao Liying's dressing room.
But the main reason was to apologize for what happened on WeChat back then; the words he blurted out based on his memories from his previous life were indeed quite impolite.
Fortunately, Sister Zhao didn't take it to heart at all. She even jokingly teased him for being dishonest and reminded him again to be more sensitive.
Of course, you can't say these things in front of others.
Lin Wanqing hadn't expected Xu Jinyan to be so direct, and she felt a little embarrassed: "I was just kidding."
"It's nothing. I didn't expect Wanqing to like reading 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms.' Who's your favorite character?"
Upon hearing the question, Lin Wanqing pondered for a moment and said, "My favorite is Sun Shangxiang, she's both beautiful and cool."
Xu Jinyan nodded and exclaimed, "Sun Shangxiang is indeed admirable! In fact, many female characters in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' are very charming."
Lin Wanqing nodded slowly; the character portrayals in famous works are bound to be captivating.
Then she heard Xu Jinyan continue:
"Among them, I like Empress Dowager He, who is ambitious, resourceful, and comes from a humble background but dares to fight for the throne."
"For example, there's Zou, Zhang Xiu's aunt, who embodies both clarity and helplessness as a frail woman living in turbulent times;"
"And then there's Madam Du, whom even the Martial Saint Guan Yu greatly admires..."
"...Wait, wait, wait, there are just too many charismatic characters."
Lin Wanqing initially nodded in agreement, but as she listened, she began to sense that something was amiss.
After he finished speaking, Lin Wanqing looked up in disbelief: "You... how are you any different from the traitor Cao Cao?"
Xu Jinyan blinked innocently: "How...how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"
Lin Wanqing: "..."
"Haha, be careful what you say, who's slandering your innocence?"
This is Li Tian's voice.
Xu Jinyan responded with a smile, "Brother Tian, I was just joking." How come I ran into an acquaintance again?
"I knew you loved to joke around. Elbow, come inside with me!"
Lin Wanqing: "..." She estimated that she would not be able to hear those words again for a while.
Why is the journey to the dressing room so long this time?
Step over the stairs and around the bend.
The journey was arduous and fraught with danger.
Just as Jielun was in power, a little devil started causing trouble.
Having just encountered Yang Mi and Dilraba, she now meets Sister Zhao.
Who knows when, in what month, or on what day, I will be able to return home?
Lin Wanqing stared at the two of them with her eyes open, but her mind was already wandering. She silently wondered how long Xu Jinyan could chat with Li Tian.
Xu Jinyan had no idea what she was thinking at that moment. He had no interest in going into Li Tian's room; she wasn't a young lady.
"I need to try on a few more outfits, and I'm afraid there won't be enough time. Right, Sister Wanqing?"
Lin Wanqing: "..."
She nodded silently: Awesome!
Xu Jinyan didn't turn around and leave immediately. She exchanged a few pleasantries and learned that Li Tian might be participating in a singing competition variety show before leaving.
Xu Jinyan and Lin Wanqing embarked on their return journey once again.
Along the way, you're bound to run into people who greet you.
Finally, after a bumpy journey, they were about to return to Xu Jinyan's dressing room, and Lin Wanqing was actually a little moved.
Where did you all go?
At the entrance of the dressing room, Nanfeng happened to come looking for Xu Jinyan. She looked at the two of them, who looked somewhat travel-worn, and asked them curiously.
Lin Wanqing said quietly, "I just returned from my pilgrimage."
Xu Jinyan grabbed Nanfeng's hand tightly, unwilling to let go. She opened her mouth but before she could say anything, she felt... Nanfeng's hand was really soft.
Nanfeng subconsciously tried to pull it out, but couldn't, so she just let it be.
She looked at this junior apprentice who had taken advantage of her right from the start and teased, "What's wrong, Teacher Xu?"
"Elbow, come inside with me."
Xu Jinyan didn't answer, but pulled her into his dressing room. Finally, it was his turn to say those words.
Lin Wanqing's lips twitched. How many times has this happened today?
She looked at their clasped hands and sighed.
Fortunately, both of them are currently single, and many people know that they are also senior and junior classmates, so there is no need to worry about any bad reputations being spread.
She pushed the door open and went in, but was surprised to find that the two of them had already let go of each other's hands.
Looking around again, what's Tian Xiwei doing here?
……
……
"The birds are singing and the grass is growing, and the one I love is on their way."
I know he traveled through wind and rain, passing by sunset without enjoying the view.
"I'll brave the sea of people just to embrace you."
"..."
Viewers watching the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala live at this time discovered that the production team was really good at creating entertaining content.
On stage, Tian Xiwei sang "Big Fish," and the camera kept focusing on Xu Jinyan in the front row of the audience.
Dilraba danced on stage, but the camera kept focusing on Xu Jinyan.
The most outrageous thing is that when Hua Chenyu sang "Mars", the camera was still focused on Xu Jinyan.
When Xu Jinyan sang "The World's Beauty Is Intertwined with You," the camera sang her song so enthusiastically that it shone brightly on everyone.
After Xu Jinyan finished singing, he returned to the round table in the front row and sat down. The people around him were all more or less related to him.
"Your singing has improved a lot."
As the camera moved away, Nanfeng turned her head and whispered.
Xu Jinyan covered her mouth with her hand to prevent the lip-reading expert from saying, "That's what geniuses are like!"
Nanfeng also covered her mouth with her hand: "Why are you covering your mouth? If you're so capable, say it in front of the camera."
Xu Jinyan turned her head, and the two looked at each other, both able to see the smile in each other's eyes.
At this moment, Tian Xiwei, who was slightly behind, witnessed the interaction between the two and felt a pang of sadness:
She waited for Xu Jinyan in his dressing room for two chapters before he finally returned, only to see him as soon as he entered...
Wasn't it supposed to be a senior-junior relationship?
Are there any senior and junior students holding hands?
Which sect is this? I want to join too.
"Next, let's give a round of applause to—South…Wind!"
As the host's voice rang out and the audience applauded, Nanfeng walked onto the stage.
Li Tian laughed and said, "Jinyan, I think we shouldn't call tonight's event the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, let's call it Xu Jinyan's Fan Meeting instead."
His voice was loud, and everyone around him immediately turned to look.
Hua Chenyu felt conflicted, because Li Tian's words made sense.
Xu Jinyan's songs played from beginning to end that night.
However, what comforted him somewhat was that Xu Jinyan didn't sing a new song this time.
The song "Child" that he had prepared for Zhang Bichen to sing was ready long ago, but he kept postponing it and couldn't find an opportunity to release it.
Xu Jinyan has won the championship for nine consecutive weeks. With such a strong momentum, how can we beat him?
Xu Jinyan shook her head with a smile: "Brother Tian, please stop teasing me. That camera bullied me all night, I'm almost dead from exhaustion."
"Haha, by the way, why didn't you sing a new song?"
I haven't had much inspiration lately.
After hearing what he said, Hua Chenyu made up her mind: If not now, when?
At this moment, a soft piano melody began, with a gentle, storytelling feel to it, which was very soothing to listen to. What song is this?
Everyone turned to look at the stage, where Nanfeng was wearing a moon-white long Chinese-style gauze dress. Accompanied by the melody, she immediately gave people a gentle and quiet feeling in the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At the same time, the song information was displayed on the large screen behind:
Song: Always Quiet
Singer: Nanfeng
Lyrics by: Xu Jinyan
Composer: Xu Jinyan
Arrangement: Xu Jinyan
Seeing Xu Jinyan appear again today, the people in the front row turned to look at him: Didn't you say you had no inspiration lately?
Little did he know that Xu Jinyan was also surprised at that moment; he thought it would be "Shanghai Bund".
Is this a drama she filmed about to be released?
