Chapter 411: The Time to Say Goodbye
In 2013, when Wei Chenglin graduated from university, he wrote an English song called "Time to say goodbye". This song was originally very famous, so Wei Chenglin said frankly that he paid tribute to the classics and chose this name.
The song is written entirely in English, but the lyrics are so simple that junior high school students can understand them. Min Rou commented mercilessly: "The composition is very good, but the lyrics are too straightforward." However, that's probably how good your English is! A little more complicated expression will expose the flaws of your poor English!"
Wei Chenglin didn't refute a word, just listened with a smile and thanked Master Song for his comments. Later, Song Minrou called him again and said a few soft words: "Doesn't pop music rely on 'popular' to be popular? Otherwise, you can only be like me, playing classical music that no one cares about. But those who can understand my playing the piano are not ordinary people, they must be very tasteful people. β
Master Song's "soft words" also revealed a spicy taste, but Wei Chenglin didn't take it to heart. He didn't tell Min Rou either, in fact, he was quite grateful to her. After all, in the midst of the applause, only Min Rou can bluntly point out his shortcomings, such a friend is rare, right?
Although Min Rou pointed out a bunch of faults, it still couldn't stop the song from becoming popular. Even Wei Chenglin's company didn't expect that he just wrote a song casually, and it actually became a popular hit in the parting season. When she heard this song for the first time, Zhao Linlin decided that she would use this song as the background music to make a graduation MV.
She announced the news in the group, and Wei Chenglin, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly bubbled: "Give me the copyright fee!"
"Get out!"
Zhao Linlin's short and powerful reply made Wei Chenglin send a few crying expressions and rolled aside.
Although there are more than one million followers on Weibo, Wei Chenglin still jokes with old friends and accepts their ridicule as before. Who wouldn't love having friends like that?
During the period of the eldest lady of the Wen family, Wen Jing inadvertently helped Wei Chenglin several times, and he always remembered those kindnesses, so every time he published a new work, he would send it to Wen Jing. This move made Qiao Nan indignant: "Anyway, I'm also close to him, why didn't that kid send it to me?"
"He treats you as his own brother, should he be polite to his own brother?"
is worthy of Miss Wen, and a few words coaxed Qiao Nan to smile.
Wen Jing listened to the record he sent and said with a smile: "Oh, Wei Chenglin, this kid, has been in the United States for so many years, why hasn't his English improved?"
Qiao Nan laughed when he heard it: "With his English level, it's a miracle that he can go to the United States to study." People write songs well, and others don't have to be harsh. β
Qiao Nan is also preparing for his graduation ceremony, and this time he will speak on behalf of the graduates, and Wen Jing must go to watch. When the two of them discuss this, the little baby will be extra noisy, trying in every possible way to find a sense of existence so that Mom and Dad will not forget it.
Wen Jing became more and more gentle, and often lowered her head to coax it: "Okay, I'll take you there, let's listen to my dad together, my dad is great!"
His wife's belly is already very big, and there is a well-developed child in it, and Qiao Nan is becoming more and more like a father. Work is always tiring, but thinking about a happy family of three in the future, he is always full of enthusiasm and wants to give the best to his wife and children.
Pull it back again, focusing on Wei Chenglin's new work. He said he wrote the song to say goodbye to his college life. But Jolene listened to it several times, and still thought that the song was written for someone. "If you need me, I'll always be there for you", this kind of lyrics doesn't seem like a word to the school!
So, Jolene squeezed him, saying that it was written for a certain girlfriend. Wei Chenglin did not give a positive reply, and said: "Anyway, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, whatever you want to understand!"
Wei Chenglin has just returned to China after graduation and is about to prepare for his small concert. The company positioned him as a "creative idol who graduated from a prestigious school", although Jolene didn't think he was very good-looking, but judging from the reactions of other friends, his face could still deceive the little girl.
On the eve of the concert, there was a lot of news about him, and that thing seemed to be called "building momentum". There are reports that Wei Chenglin gave up a high-paying job abroad and returned to China to pursue his music dream. It wasn't an easy decision to make, and he gave himself a year to keep doing it if he could earn the same amount as before, and if not, he had to give up the path and go back to the United States.
As soon as this news was released, fans were fried on the Internet, it turned out that it was not easy for Cheng Lin Oba! Then they had to support him fiercely! He has nothing now, if there is no support from fans, what will he use to fulfill his music dream?
Wei Chenglin didn't have any friends in Beijing, and the people who could accompany him to dinner were old friends from the past, and only when he saw them could he release his pressure unscrupulously. One night, Sun Ruiyang invited him to drink and talked about his recent news, and teased: "Brother, if I hadn't read the news on the Internet, I really didn't know that you had such a good time in the United States, and it was in order to realize your musical ideals that you had the courage to return to China." Come on, come on, big brother, toast you! Cheers to your courage!"
Wei Chenglin burst out laughing all of a sudden: "Those messy things, you also believe them?"
Of course, Jolene didn't believe it, but she also asked sincerely, "What kind of high-paying career are you doing in the United States? Didn't you sign a company? You have to crowdfund a record." β
"Blind propaganda! If you don't make me miserable, who will buy it?" Wei Chenglin drank a can of beer and said with a smile: "The news from the company is a joke in my opinion. Where in the United States is there a comfortable life in China? Where is the money to be earned, I don't know in my heart?"
Although Wei Chenglin's brain is not bright, his ability to make money is not bad at all, he has already bought a new house for his mother in Hong Kong City, and after the concert, buying a car will be on the agenda.
The errand student, who was once famous for auspicious road, has been transformed into the best mixed among that group of children. This is just the beginning, if he really makes a name for himself in the music world, then there is endless wealth waiting for him.
Wei Chenglin's concert is scheduled for late June, which is the graduation season, and the theme of the concert is "Time to say goodbye". He gave all his good friends tickets and invited them to come and cheer them on. He was still a little shy - Wei Chenglin in front of his friends and Wei Chenglin on the stage should be two people!
Qiao Lin asked for two tickets for her sister, Qiao Lu took the initiative to invite her boyfriend to the concert, and Xiao Lin, who was depressed, reluctantly agreed to her invitation.
Wei Chenglin's bumpy story of fame is no longer a secret, and he did not hide the past when he almost fell into a den of thieves. He also said that he didn't think his experience was very inspiring, but he was lucky to have noble people to help him along the way.
On the way to the concert, Qiao Lu said: "Wei Chenglin is really too modest...... At that time, he could go to a very good conservatory, but he felt that he was not interested in this, so he gave up his qualification and went to the United States through hardships. Sometimes I wonder if I could have the courage to be like him.
Xiao Lin fell into deep thought, and after a while he said, "Or ...... Am I really going to quit my job and go to photography?"
Qiao Lu didn't answer.
Since the last time the woman contacted him, he couldn't even sleep well at night, either having nightmares, or falling into deep self-blame, or the message kept echoing in his earsβ
"If I hadn't met you, this life would have passed, and you made me nostalgic for this world, but pushed me deeper into the abyss...... Why on earth do this to me? Why does the world do this to me? Do you have to die for you to be satisfied?"
He also has self-esteem and is reluctant to show his vulnerable side in front of others. However, Qiao Lu often saw the circle of friends he posted in the early morning, with pictures of the rising sun that morning.
My boyfriend's sluggish state has been going on for a while, and he knows how to save himself and takes the initiative to see a psychiatrist, but it doesn't work. The doctor said he could do what he wanted to do, which would distract him from some of it.
He couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. Out of guilt, he wanted to take care of the woman or give her some compensation, and he also wanted to cut ties and travel to let go of everything. But in that case, that feeling of guilt will stay with him for the rest of his life.
My boyfriend became like this, but it was because of another woman. Qiao Lu didn't want to tell others about the sadness and helplessness she experienced during this time, so she didn't want to become a resentful woman. At Wei Chenglin's concert, Qiao Lin and Sun Ruiyang sat next to her, the two of them talked and laughed, you feed me a gummy, and I will rob you of a bottle of drink...... These inadvertent small actions are the sweetness that couples should have!
Qiao Lu can't even recall the last time she and Xiao Lin fought like this. On the way back, the two were still silent, Qiao Lu seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, and she fell deeper and deeper, and she couldn't feel her existence anymore.
Let's break up!
It was the only ending she could think of.
But before the words could be spoken, tears blurred his eyes.
Xiao Lin didn't notice the change in her, and he was using his mobile phone to check the Sichuan-Tibet line cycling route. Qiao Lu thought about it, it was indeed quite suitable for him, the road was difficult and sparsely populated, but the scenery was beautiful, you could empty yourself and take pictures. If he had gone there, he wouldn't have been as depressed as he was now.
Qiao Lu couldn't bear to let him go, recalling the bits and pieces of the past, those sweet past events turned into a sharp knife and stuck it in her chest. She also saw the dawn sun, so beautiful and so beautiful, so brilliant, shining on this scarred world.
Qiao Lu let out a long sigh and thought to herself, it was time to say goodbye.
"Let's break up!"
Xiao Lin seemed to have waited for this sentence for a long time, and he immediately replied: "I am not qualified to redeem you, this time, I am really sorry for you." β
"You're good, good to everyone. But I'm selfish, I just want your eyes to fall on me. β
After a long time, Kobayashi replied, "I'm sorry. β
"After breaking up with me, you can go and take care of her, or you can go on a trip. Life is short, so seize the opportunity to do what you want to do!"
"Qiao Lu, you are the best girl I have ever seen. I can't give you the happiness you want, but I can't forget you in this life, and I will bless you forever. β
How long does it take for tears to wet a pillow? But it was probably after that long that Qiao Lu replied decently: "I will always bless you." β
