Chapter 699: Meeting a childhood playmate at the Spring Festival Gala!
"Hurry, hurry, Xiaoli, the Spring Festival Gala has begun!"

Shen Xiaoqin was calling Liu Xiaoli. Liu Xiaoli wiped her hands and hurried out of her parents' room.

She was just talking to the two elders.

This year's Spring Festival Gala was the one in which the Chen and Liu families gathered most together.

Chen Yu chartered several planes and brought relatives from both his parents' side and Liu Yifei's grandfather's family to the capital to celebrate the New Year.

And after the Spring Festival Gala, they will come back to have the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Chen Yu also sent a message to Liu Yifei's father An Shaokang, asking him to get together if he was free.

This year is a rare occasion.

“The hosts haven’t changed this year!”

Shen Xiaoqin sat there, cracking melon seeds. The entire living room of the Chen family was full. About forty or fifty people were divided into three or four tables, and some were playing cards.

Shen Xiaoqin and Liu Xiaoli are good sisters. They sat together and watched the Spring Festival Gala with a few elderly people.

"No, just these six, the same as last year!"

Liu Xiaoli and her parents were peeling oranges, and soon the first opening song and dance began.

As each show went on, Shen Xiaoqin found it less and less interesting: "This year's Spring Festival Gala is not good. It is totally incomparable to last year!"

In 06, Chen Yu's opening shows "Hundred Family Names", "The Story of Sister Ma", "Three Lucky Treasures", etc. were all very popular, not to mention Zhao Benshan's "Talking about Things"... But this year's Spring Festival Gala, an hour passed, and Shen Xiaoqin and the others didn't see a single program that interested them.

Even several popular crosstalk and sketches failed to make people laugh, and the singing and dancing were even more mediocre. From the perspective of a professional dancer like Liu Xiaoli, the programs were all very clichéd and lacked any novelty.

The basic skills are definitely there, but creativity is lacking.

"The ratings of this year's Spring Festival Gala are bound to be a Waterloo..."

“The shows are all so-so!”

Liu Xiaoli was eating fruit when suddenly a singing show started and a girl came on stage, which made her stunned.

"what?"

She took a closer look and suddenly said to her father, "Dad, is this girl from Teacher Yao's family? She looks so familiar to me."

"Which teacher Yao?"

Dad Liu was wearing glasses and looking at a pretty girl who was singing and dancing. She was singing "Wife and Husband, I Love You" with Huo Feng and Pang Long. The song was very cliché, but the more he looked at it, the more he thought it looked like Liu Xiaoli.

"Yao Feng, Mr. Yao, from my previous unit!"

"There's a little girl in his family who's six years older than Sissi. They've always played very well together. Have you forgotten?"

"Oh, now I remember, Beibei, little Beibei, that little Beibei, right?"

"Yes, don't you see? The outline is similar, and the face shape is exactly the same as Teacher Yao's!"

Liu Xiaoli had already leaned in front of the TV. Suddenly she thought of something and quickly took out her cell phone. She found the cell phone number of Teacher Yao Feng and quickly sent him a message.

"Grandpa, do you know this child?"

Shen Xiaoqin was obviously gossiping a little.

"Yes, I grew up with Xixi..."

Father Liu was smiling, but Liu Xiaoli held up her phone and said to her father, "Dad, it's really Xiao Beibei. Look, Teacher Yao replied to me. It's her daughter, Yao Beina!"

"Well, it's normal for Yao Feng's child!"

"That little girl has been singing beautifully since she was young!"

"Yao Feng himself is a musician..."

"I'm here to call Teacher Yao. I haven't contacted him for a long time!"

Liu Xiaoli smiled, ran to the side and dialed Yao Feng's cell phone number.

In fact, the two of them kept in touch during the holidays.

Yao Feng is a very famous composer in the country and also a music professor. He is very authoritative in vocal music. He teaches at Wuhan Conservatory of Music and has written many well-known red songs.

"It's just that the song is not good. The song is too vulgar. The child has a good singing voice!"

"Yao Feng's training is good!"

As Liu's father and mother were talking, Yao Beina's chorus performance soon came to an end.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoli walked over with a beaming face, chatting with her old colleagues, which really made her happy.

"I didn't expect that Teacher Yao's child is also very promising!"

"Be a solo singer in the Naval Political Department Art Troupe!"

Liu Xiaoli said to Liu's father, who smiled and said, "Not bad. If Xixi doesn't want to be an actress, she can be very good at dancing. Her father has connections!"

"Well, I'll send a message to Sissi later and tell her about it!"

"Strange, why didn't Xixi tell me about this, or did they not see it during rehearsal?"

The rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala were conducted one program at a time. The last rehearsal was very intensive. In addition, Liu Yifei was a little nervous waiting in the backstage and did not pay much attention to the people around her.

The main reason is that she and Yao Beina haven’t been in touch for a long time, and they were just childhood friends.

If you suddenly pass by something, it may take you a long time to confirm it before you remember it.

"that is really good!"

"Xixi will probably be very happy to see Beibei!"

Liu Xiaoli picked up her phone and sent a message to Liu Yifei.

At this time, backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were playing around, and it would be a while before the two of them would go on stage.

"Xixi, I just saw Beibei on the Spring Festival Gala. She was the one you always followed around when you were a kid. Do you remember her?"

"Sister Beibei?"

Liu Yifei looked at the message sent by Liu Xiaoli and glanced at the several artists who had just walked into the dressing room.

"what happened?"

Chen Yu saw that Liu Yifei's expression became a little abnormal after seeing a text message.

"The daughter of my mom's colleague, a sister I played with since childhood, also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala!"

Liu Yifei grabbed her dress, stood up and walked towards the dressing room.

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he reacted: "It can't be... Yao Bei's?"

Did she appear on this year's Spring Festival Gala?

Chen Yu had no impression at all.

After a while, an excited scream was heard coming from the dressing room. It was obviously Liu Yifei and Yao Beina's reunion, and they were very happy.

"I just don't know if she has cancer at this time?"

Chen Yu remembered that Yao Beina died of breast cancer, which was a pity. She was only 33 years old. She sang very well and had great potential.

The most important thing is that although she entered the entertainment industry, she is a very righteous person. When Liu Yifei was blackened by the entire Internet, she was the only one who stood up and spoke for Liu Yifei.

One is the relationship between the two people, and the other is her family background and the identity of the art troupe in which she debuted.

So she is actually not like those singers in the entertainment industry who have bad habits.

She should develop more like a singer in a cultural troupe.

"If not, let Liu Yifei sign her and then give her a full physical examination!"

If cancer is detected in its early stages, the cure rate is still very high, but there is still a possibility of recurrence.

When Chen Yu walked into the dressing room, he saw Liu Yifei hugging a girl who was dressed in an old-fashioned way. She was dressed just like a singer in the art troupe, wearing a purple dress, with her makeup not removed yet and her hair tied back in a big bun.

This is the stereotypical look of the female singers of the Huaxia Art Troupe.

In fact, she should be only 24-5 years old now, right?

Looks like she's 30.

"Let me introduce you!"

When Liu Yifei saw Chen Yu come in, she hurriedly introduced him to Yao Beina, and many people in the dressing room also greeted Chen Yu.

"Everyone in the world knows who your boyfriend is, why do you still want to introduce him to me?" Yao Beina said with a smile, but she stretched out her hand towards Chen Yu: "Hello, my name is Yao Beina, and I grew up with Xixi..."

"Chen Yu!"

Chen Yu shook her hand briefly and said with a smile, "Yifei told me that you often took her out to play when you were a child!"

"Haha, only Sister Bei is willing to play with me. Others who are older than me don't like to play with little brats!"

Liu Yifei leaned on Yao Bei's body. The two hadn't seen each other for such a long time, but at this moment they were as close as best friends.

"It's because you were so pretty when you were little. I just like playing with pretty people!"

"I have been obsessed with looks since I was a kid!"

This sounds like something a young person would say. Judging from his appearance, everyone would think that Yao Beina is a very traditional person.

"Ha ha!"

The two of them were laughing, but Chen Yu pointed outside and said, "Why don't we talk outside?"

"I'll take off my makeup, it'll be quick, wait for me!"

Yao Beina was talking to Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei nodded and immediately walked out with Chen Yu.

"I never thought that after all these years, I would still meet you on the Spring Festival Gala stage!"

Liu Yifei really found it magical.

"Well, you can hang out with her more often in the future. I heard the song she just sang, and her high notes are amazing!"

"Of course not. His father is a composer. I was influenced by him since I was a child. I learned piano from him, so I kept begging my mom to find a teacher!"

"Is he your idol since childhood?"

Chen Yu was joking, but Liu Yifei nodded, "A little bit. Anyway, I admired her when I was a kid. She can play many instruments and sings well. Unlike me, I am only good at dancing, but my singing is totally amateurish!"

"It's OK, definitely better than an average person, but a little worse than a professional!"

"What nonsense are you telling the truth!"

The two people were arguing there, and after a while, Yao Beina, who had removed her makeup and changed her clothes, came out wearing a nice and youthful windbreaker.

Chen Yu thought he was dazzled.

The difference in painting styles... is too great.

I look more than 10 years younger.

And she looks even uglier with makeup on than without it. Yao Bei is actually quite pretty in real life.

"Wow, I almost don't recognize you!"

"Sister, you are more beautiful than when you were a child!"

Liu Yifei knows how to compliment people, and Yao Beina is clearly exaggerating in friendship: "If we talk about being prettier than when she was a child, you are still better, Xixi!"

"Ha ha!"

The two of them burst into laughter again.

"By the way, do you guys have a show later?"

"In fact, I have known Sissi for a long time, but I didn't dare to recognize you. I recognized you when you were in "The Story of a Noble Family"!"

Yao Beina was afraid of embarrassment.

What if Liu Yifei didn't remember her and she rashly recognized him, it would be very hurtful.

So some people, even if they recognize someone, don’t dare to ask a single question, because they are afraid of hurting their self-esteem.

Yao Beina obviously also has a proud side to his character.

"Sister, you really are, I can't express my happiness enough!"

"If my mom hadn't sent me a message, I wouldn't have known you were on this show. It's not that I didn't recognize you, I was just too nervous during rehearsal..."

"Okay, I understand. Is Aunt Liu okay?"

"Okay, she said she wants to meet you, how about you stay at my house after our show is over?"

"This……"

"It's such a happy decision!"

Liu Yifei pulled Yao Beina's hand without saying anything. After thinking about it, Yao Beina did not refuse.

The two chatted for about 20 minutes, and then Liu Yifei began to prepare the program with Chen Yu.

After all, I will be going on stage soon, so I have to prepare my emotions, breath, voice, etc.

"come on!"

"I'm cheering you on backstage!"

Yao Beina watched the two people walk to the preparation area and cheered them on.

"I think the following show has been long awaited by all the viewers in front of the TV!"

"Let us welcome Chen Yu and Liu Yifei to bring their sweet song - "When You Are Old"!"

As soon as the host Liu Fangfei's voice fell, the background sound suddenly sounded.

Wearing the duet costumes specially designed for them for the Spring Festival Gala, the girl is pretty and the boy is handsome, like a perfect couple.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei sat on the sofa, rising slowly from the center of the stage against the backdrop of a huge clock turning.

Wow!
Suddenly, applause broke out, and Chen Yu's magnetic voice resounded throughout the entire stage.

"Sounds good!"

"Xiao Chen sang this song really well!"

After just two short opening sentences, Liu Xiaoli stopped peeling melon seeds and started listening attentively.

Shen Xiaoqin beside him also didn't blink, and murmured: "These two people standing there are really a perfect match!"

"Did that kid Xiao Chen write this song?"

Liu Yifei's grandfather was asking, and Liu Xiaoli said without even turning her head: "Yes, he composed the music, and the lyrics are from a famous foreign poem!"

"That's fine. This song is much better than Beibei's just now!"

"That's right. Xiao Chen actually writes very good songs. He wrote the song last year. If this kid didn't become an actor but a singer, there would be no Zhou Jielun!"

Liu Xiaoli is selling melons like Wang Po.

Liu Yifei's grandfather asked, "Who? What Lun?"

"Zhou Jielun, do you know him? He's a very famous singer that young people like very much!"

"Oh, I've heard of it. The lyrics are about nunchakus?"

"You're singing too fast, I can't hear you clearly!"

"Hahaha, then it's because you're old and hard of hearing!"

Liu Xiaoli laughed.

"Nonsense, my ears are fine, I just sang too fast!"

"Okay, okay, old man, I won't argue with you, just watch the show!"

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were already facing each other at this time, gazing at each other affectionately and singing the chorus to each other.

"How many people loved you in your youthful days
Admire your beauty, fake or real
There is only one person who still loves your devout soul

Love you, the wrinkles on your old face..."

"..."

The outburst of the most sincere emotions makes the emotions of the song sublime.

At this time, the ratings of this program backstage also soared like an airplane taking off.

I have to say that Chen Yu’s popularity plus this song brought this show to the climax of this Spring Festival Gala!
