Chapter 42: A Dream Eaten by Reality
Zhuang Yan has no feelings for this song, but the woman swaying her body under the light makes him feel very sexy. This kind of sexiness does not depend on how revealing the dress is, nor does it depend on how hot the body is, but in the rhythm of the music, Zhuang Yan can see a unique charm from her.
Who would have thought that under this heavy makeup, there was a young woman who had been plain all day long? Who would have known that under this wild and uninhibited appearance, there was a gentle and lovely big sister next door?
This strong contrast impacted Zhuang Yan's heart, and the two images continued to coincide, and then gradually separated, making Zhuang Yan in a trance.
At the end of the song, the audience applauded in unison, as if it was a musical feast just now.
"One more, one more. ”
"Fly Freely!"
"Jiaqing is the most beautiful, one more!"
……
In the midst of the noise, Zhuang Yan slowly walked through the noisy crowd with his hands in his pockets, although he still wanted to see Chen Jiaqing, but this place was incompatible with him, he didn't want to stay here for too long, and Xiaoying was home alone, he also had to go back to take care of it.
Zhuang Yan is tall and thin, and he can't stand out from the crowd, but he is also particularly conspicuous. Although the lights in the bar were flickering, Chen Jiaqing still saw his back from the crowd at a glance, because he was the only one walking outside at this time.
Listening to the coaxing of the audience, Chen Jiaqing's eyes were a little strange, she didn't know whether it was right or wrong to call Zhuang Yan over this time. She likes this big boy very much, people's feelings are very delicate, and her feelings for Zhuang Yan can't be said to be between men and women, she just thinks that this big boy is very kind.
Maybe it was that time Xiaoying's grandmother came over, Zhuang Yan was pulled by Xiaoying to relieve the siege, or a few days ago, he helped take Xiaoying to tell her a story, which made her feel like she was being taken care of, which was amazing, but Chen Jiaqing resolutely refused to admit that she was moved by him.
Seeing Zhuang Yan's back drowned in the crowd and gradually disappearing, Chen Jiaqing came back to his senses and said to the audience with a smile: "Next, I will bring you an old song "Yellow River Travel", I hope you like it." ”
……
When she got home, Xiaoying was lying on the sofa and had fallen asleep, Zhuang Yan carefully carried her back to her room, turned on the air conditioner for her, covered the quilt, and went to the study to work.
Students in this world are more bitter, even more bitter than the Chinese students in the previous life, and the students in this life do not have winter and summer vacations at all, even if they are kindergartens, they are also held all year round. Otherwise, now in August, Xiaoying won't have to go to class.
However, relatively speaking, students in this life generally do not make up classes, weekends and weekends are implemented very strictly, and national statutory holidays are also put as much as they should be, and there will definitely be no shortage of catties or two.
Back in the study, Zhuang Yan turned on the desktop computer and prepared the code words. Compared with working in the bedroom, he still likes to work in the study like he does now, separating the place of work from the place of sleeping, which is the least pursuit of Zhuang Yan.
"Shuke and Beta" has been written for more than 30 chapters, but it has only been updated with nine chapters of online serialization, basically at a rate of one chapter a day.
It's been serialized for so many days, and the article is still set to be free, but there are just no readers. Not to mention comments, there are not even a few clicks, a few clicks, Zhuang Yan still suspects that he ordered it.
However, today Zhuang Yan turned on the computer and logged on to the account of "Fairy Tale Manor", but found that there was new news, which was a comment on the latest chapter.
Bookworm last night: "After reading the first few articles, I feel okay, but you sent it in the wrong place, you should find a children's book to submit." ”
This "bookworm last night" is right, "Shuke and Beta" is not suitable for literary and art websites, it should appear more on children's books. However, Zhuang Yan didn't care, anyway, he didn't point to this to make money, and posted it directly on the website, which was simple and convenient. If you really ask him to find a magazine or something to read and submit, he is too troublesome.
Zhuang Yan also thought about it, no matter whether this story is popular on the website of the literary and art world, he can discuss it with Wang Lijian in the future, and there should be no problem with publishing.
With the cooperation of "Alive", Zhuang Yan felt that with his own face, it was estimated that Wang Lijian should help him.
After writing three or four more chapters, it was already more than twelve o'clock, Zhuang Yan heard the sound of the door opening, the sound insulation effect of the room was not bad, and Zhuang Yan deliberately did not close the door of the study, just to wait for Chen Jiaqing to come back.
Zhuang Yan came out of the study, Chen Jiaqing was changing shoes at the door, her leather coat with rivets had been changed, her blue wig had also been taken off, smoky makeup, false eyelashes, and flaming red lips were no longer there.
At this time, Chen Jiaqing, just like when she walked from home before, has become a simple and simple young woman.
Hearing the movement, Chen Jiaqing looked up and saw Zhuang Yan, her eyes crooked and she smiled: "Xiaozhuang, you haven't slept yet, there are many customers in the bar tonight, so I will sing for a while." ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her head to look at the living room again, "What about Xiaoying, are you sleeping?"
Zhuang Yan nodded: "Xiaoying has already slept, but she hasn't taken a bath yet." ”
"This kid went to bed without even taking a bath. Chen Jiaqing blamed, and then Zhuang Yan noticed that her voice was even more hoarse, even hoarse than when she was on stage just now.
Zhuang Yan asked with concern, "Are you okay with your throat?" ”
"My throat?" Chen Jiaqing shook his head: "It's okay, just drink some hot water." ”
"You have to protect your voice, then again, if I hadn't gone to the bar tonight, I didn't know that Sister Chen would still be able to sing, depending on the audience's reaction, Sister Chen, you are quite popular. Zhuang Yan said with a smile.
"What's so popular? Chen Jiaqing suddenly sighed, her expression was a little depressed, she slowly walked towards the living room, sat on the sofa, and continued: "If I am not a woman, if I am not wearing a short skirt, if I am not wearing heavy makeup like a ghost, how many of these people will shout for me?"
Zhuang Yan also sat down on the concubine seat next to her and asked her, "Since you are not happy, why do you still do this job, is it because of your music dream?"
"Huh. Chen Jiaqing laughed self-deprecatingly, "I don't have any music dreams, my music dreams were eaten by reality a few years ago." Now I, as long as I can make money, do I care if people really like my music? Xiaoying's grandmother, you have also seen it, she came to tell me last time she told me that she had filed a complaint with the court to get back Xiaoying's custody. They said that my income was too low to ensure Xiaoying's normal life, so I wanted to make more money and was so anxious to change to a better house. ”
"Can you get custody back?"
Zhuang Yan regretted it a little as soon as he asked, he measured this matter from the experience of the previous life, and he didn't know what the law was in this life, if her grandmother really wanted to take back custody, Zhuang Yan didn't know if the court would award it to them.
However, Chen Jiaqing seemed to pay too much attention to Zhuang Yan's reaction, but nodded: "Well, it's possible, if the court decides that I can't provide Xiaoying with the most basic living security, it is very likely that the custody will be awarded to her grandmother, but——"
Chen Jiaqing looked at the room, and was in a good mood inexplicably: "But now I'm not afraid, living here, they have nothing to say." ”
