I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 129 128. When you are old! I want to be that person!
This was the second time that Jiang Chen and his companions had camped outside since they set out from the Magic City.

The last time was on the beach.

This time we were on the edge of a grassland. Not far away, we could see rolling green hills. At the foot of the hills, there was a stream meandering down and passing by the roadside.

They chose to camp next to the stream so they didn't have to look for water.

The car stopped, and Han Qing, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing quickly began to set up the tent and prepare dinner.

Jiang Chen was the most relaxed one. He sat in the car and watched several people busying around. Only then did he remember to take out his mobile phone and upload the two songs he sang in the morning to the Penguin Music platform.

An English song Five Hundred Miles, a song sung for men: It’s not a sin for men to cry.

The mobile phone next to them had been broadcasting live to a few people. More than 300,000 people in the live broadcast room were watching them busy setting up camp.

Jiang Chen said to the camera: "The two songs I sang this morning have been uploaded. You can download them now."

The number of comments in the live broadcast room immediately increased.

"Old Jiang finally remembered this? I'm going to download it right now."

"It's not a sin for a man to cry. I want to listen to this song but I don't dare to, for fear of crying again."

"Download it immediately. Old Jiang, you really don't take us, the audience, seriously. I told you this morning to upload it quickly if you've finished recording. Why did you wait until now to upload it?"

"Download, download..."

"Old Jiang, you are enjoying yourself so much. Several beauties are serving you, while you are sitting here leisurely like a landlord..."

"Hahaha, Lao Jiang really came out to enjoy himself."

"Old Jiang has such a wonderful life..."

"Old Jiang, are you still in need of someone? I can chat and brag with you."

"Lao Jiang..."

……

Jiang Chen looked at the barrage, then turned around to look at Han Qing and the others who were busy. First, he set up his tent and placed it in the middle. The five of them set up their tents around it, protecting his tent in the middle, forming a five-pointed star.

Chen Xiaojia set up a simple barbecue grill and a stove to cook some side dishes, and also took out a few bottles of beer.

All the ingredients were brought from the capital, many of which were prepared for them by Wang Fei, Li Wenjun and Yan Ruyu. They were all absolutely top-quality ingredients.

There were also many snacks that could be eaten directly, also made for him by Wang Fei, Li Wenjun, Yan Ruyu and others, enough for him to eat for several days.

Jiang Chen pulled the recliner over and lay on it. He picked up the snacks that Wang Fei had prepared for him and started to eat them. He looked up at the clear sky, feeling a sense of indulgence in his heart. He shouted loudly, "Just grow old, and don't wake up from loneliness..."

This is his favorite lyric in "Ideal Thirty".

Just grow old, don’t fall into loneliness!
At this time, with so many friends around him, he was no longer lonely.

Many viewers in the live broadcast room also typed out the lyrics.

"Just sing, close your eyes..."

"Lao Jiang sang a song called "Ideal Thirty". I love this song."

"Old Jiang, let's sing a song of Ideal Thirty..."

"Lao Jiang..."

……

Many viewers in the live broadcast room wanted Jiang Chen to sing the song "Ideal Thirty" again.

This was the first original song Jiang Chen sang during a DouYue live broadcast. It was also the first song that amazed many viewers. This song started his extraordinary journey.

In Beijing, Wang Fei was sitting alone in the living room in the backyard with a large tablet in front of her, watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast. Li Wenjun, Yan Ruyu, and Sophia did not stay here any longer. After all, they had no reason to stay with Wang Fei.

Wang Fei looked at Jiang Chen on the live broadcast screen. He was sitting there leisurely looking at the scenery and eating the snacks he made himself. A happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then Wang Fei turned his head to look at the original works of Jiang Chen hanging on the wall next to him. Joy flashed in her eyes, especially when she saw the painting A Cut Plum that Jiang Chen gave her. Tears welled up in her eyes. She reached out and wiped them away and continued to look at the live broadcast screen.

In the courtyard not far behind, Li Wenjun was also watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast and humming along with Jiang Chen's voice: "You long to leave, but there is nowhere to stop..."

With his chin supported by his hands, Li Wenjun looked at the Qingping Tiao painting hanging on the opposite wall and smiled happily, even blessedly.

"The clouds resemble clothes, the flowers resemble beauty... Am I really that beautiful in his eyes?"

Li Wenjun thought happily in her heart.

At the same time, Yan Ruyu was in Shuimu's single apartment dormitory, watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast while talking on the phone with her family.

"Oh, I saw it!"

Yan Ruyu answered her mother truthfully: "I saw it, he is a very nice person!"

The mother on the other side said with certainty, "Nonsense, he must be a good person. Your father, your grandfather and I have all watched his live broadcast. Your grandfather is now like a demon, watching his live broadcast every day to copy his works. In your grandfather's words, this young man's talent is amazing in China and is unparalleled throughout the ages. Every one of his works will surely be passed down through the ages and is destined to go down in history."

"We are now worried about whether you are worthy of her."

Yan Ruyu was speechless after hearing what her mother said.

Before, they were worried that she had high standards and thought no one was worthy of her.

Now I'm afraid that I'm not worthy of Jiang Chen...

Yan Ruyu muttered, "Mom, your daughter is also a talented girl, right? I am a doctor of Shuimu, a member of the Rongcheng Calligraphy Association, and a member of the Writers Association. You are a professor at Sichuan University, your father is the dean and vice president of the department, your grandfather is the retired president of Sichuan University, and your brother is a wealthy man. Our family is not bad, okay!"

A loud voice came from the phone instantly: "Your conditions are not bad, but there are many who are better than you. Just like Li Wenjun from Beijing University, and Wang Fei, the bar owner that Jiang Chen eats with every day, they are no worse than you! I asked you to meet them before, but you were reserved and missed a few days. Otherwise, maybe you could have gotten a piece of work that Jiang Chen wrote for you."

"Jiang Chen graduated from Sichuan University. Your father proposed at the last meeting that when Jiang Chen returns to Chengdu, he should be invited to teach at his alma mater."

After listening to her mother's scolding, Yan Ruyu did feel a little regretful. When Jiang Chen first arrived in the capital, she was a little reserved and did not go to see Jiang Chen, thinking that she would wait for Jiang Chen to find her. In the end, Jiang Chen did not go to find her at all, so she had to take the initiative to contact Jiang Chen and was unable to meet and spend time with Jiang Chen in the first place.

Otherwise, she felt that she was no worse than Wang Fei and Li Wenjun, and would definitely be able to get the work given by Jiang Chen.

When Yan Ruyu thought of the painting "Yi Jian Mei" that Wang Fei got and the painting "Qing Ping Diao" that Li Wenjun got, a trace of envy and jealousy flashed in her eyes.

However, after hearing what her mother said about inviting Jiang Chen to teach at Sichuan University, Yan Ruyu reminded her, "Mom, Beijing University and Shuimu invited Jiang Chen to teach, but Jiang Chen refused."

My mother immediately said, "That's because Jiang Chen is not familiar with them, but Sichuan University is Jiang Chen's alma mater, and Jiang Chen is also a native of Chengdu. He will definitely not reject us. The conditions we offer him are better than those of Peking University and Shuimu. Forget about this. You should care about yourself, seize the opportunity, contact Jiang Chen more often, be more proactive, and don't be afraid of losing face. People like Jiang Chen may not appear once in a thousand years. Don't miss it if you meet one, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Yan Ruyu whispered, "I took the initiative, but he ignored me! I have never taken the initiative with a boy before, he is the first. I have never had a boyfriend before, I don't know how to get along with him."

Mom: "Then you should be more proactive. If a girl pursues a boy, as long as you take the initiative, there is nothing you can't catch up with. If you don't get it, it means you are not proactive enough."

Yan Ruyu was speechless after hearing this. She took the initiative to meet a boy and even helped cook for him. This was the only thing she had done for a boy in her life. Why should she be more proactive?

Why not just confess directly?
Yan Ruyu was a girl from Sichuan with a lively personality. She was not averse to this. If she met someone she liked, she could express her feelings directly. However, Jiang Chen's attitude made her afraid of failure in her confession. Once she failed, she might never have another chance in the future.

Now that the window paper has not been broken, there is still a chance. Yan Ruyu: "Jiang Chen said that he doesn't want to date or get married now."

Mom: "Then don't put pressure on him, just show him your concern and make him happy! Your dad and your grandpa said that if you two are together, they won't ask for anything else, but will give you a house and a villa in Rongcheng as a dowry, and your share of the shares in your brother's company, all of which you can take away!"

After hearing this, Yan Ruyu felt a little more confident and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Mom: "Just try your best, don't be so arrogant. By the way, you will graduate next year, what are your plans?"

Yan Ruyu: "Director Yang here gave me a place to stay in school, I'm considering it."

Mom: "That's up to you! But I suggest you follow Jiang Chen wherever he is."

Yan Ruyu remained silent after hearing this. She looked at the live broadcast screen and saw Jiang Chen holding a guitar, playing the guitar and singing "Ideal Thirty". She said to her mother, "Jiang Chen is in a state where he might retire in seclusion. What excuse can I find to follow him?"

Mom: "Don't think too much about it now. Contact them more and build good relationships. Be more proactive."

Yan Ruyu: “I know!”

hang up the phone.

Yan Ruyu held her phone and looked at Jiang Chen, who was playing the guitar and singing "Ideal Thirty". After hesitating for a moment, she sent a text message to Jiang Chen: "Be safe on the road and take care of yourself. It's late autumn and the temperature in the Northeast is starting to drop."

On the live broadcast screen, Jiang Chen had just finished singing the song "Ideal Thirty" and picked up his phone to see the text message from Yan Ruyu. He immediately replied in front of the live camera: "Okay, thank you, and take care of yourself too."

Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Chen's reply, and a smile appeared on her face.

She was afraid that Jiang Chen would ignore her.

As long as she could still chat with Jiang Chen, she felt she had a chance.

"Let me take care of myself too! He's looking out for me."

Yan Ruyu's heart suddenly became happy and bright, as if she had eaten the most delicious chocolate.

……

At this moment, Jiang Chen had just sung an old song "Ideal Thirty" on a whim and was in a very good mood. He replied to Yan Ruyu's message of concern and looked at the live broadcast room, where he saw that there were more than 600,000 people online.

He turned around and looked at Han Qing, Pu Yuexi, and Chen Xiaojia who were making dinner together, waving and smiling at him.

Chen Xiaojia, the chef, smiled and said, "We'll be able to eat it in a while."

Jiang Chen waved to Chen Xiaojia: "Okay, I'm not hungry yet!"

Jiang Chen wasn't really hungry after eating the snacks Wang Fei made. He looked at the gradually darkening sky, the swaying flames, and the wafting fragrance. He turned to the live camera and said, "It's time to eat. I'll sing a new song for everyone before I go off the air."

The more than 600,000 viewers in the live broadcast room immediately became excited.

"Wow, the third new song today, Jiang Chen is really prolific."

"I've been watching Lao Jiang's live broadcast all day today, and finally I'm waiting for his new song."

"Lao Jiang's singing of the song "Ideal Thirty" was so flavorful."

"I like whatever songs Lao Jiang sings."

"I really envy Lao Jiang's life, singing, looking at the scenery, eating barbecue..."

"Lao Jiang, please come to Mudanjiang as soon as possible. I'm already here, waiting for you."

"Lao Jiang..."

……

Jiang Chen didn't say anything else and slowly played the guitar.

The guitar rhythm is slow and low, extremely relaxing, just like taking a walk outside, or sitting in a recliner reading a book, relaxed and leisurely.

Jiang Chen smiled and said to the live camera: "This song is called When You Are Old."

After saying that, Jiang Chen sang his own song along with the guitar.

The song is told in a leisurely manner, as if chatting and telling a story.

“When you get old and your hair turns grey.”

"I feel sleepy."

"When you're old, you can't walk anymore."

"Nap by the fire, reminiscing about youth."

"How many people loved you in your youth."

"I admire your beauty, whether it's fake or real."

"There is only one person who still loves your pious divorce."

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

Jiang Chen was singing, his voice sounded like a stream flowing beside him, and there was a warm smile on his face, as if he was telling his own story.

Many viewers in the live broadcast room immediately launched barrages, and the number of online users once again exceeded 700,000 and was still rising rapidly.

"It sounds so good, so good. It makes my heart tremble."

"Lao Jiang is painting us a rosy picture again. Does this kind of love exist?"

“Is this the picture that Lao Jiang imagined?”

“Lao Jiang’s new song is absolutely heartfelt.”

"I'm getting goosebumps all over my body!"

……

Capital city, water and trees.

Yan Ruyu listened to Jiang Chen's singing, tears welled up in her eyes again. She wanted to send a message to Jiang Chen several times, but she held back. She stared at Jiang Chen on the live screen and whispered, "You guy, you keep saying that you don't want to date or get married, and you want to live alone forever, but every song you sing is about longing for a beautiful world for two."

"You keep painting pie in the sky for me, what do you want, kid?"

Yan Ruyu was so excited that she couldn't help but speak in her hometown dialect, complaining a lot and feeling that she was in a dilemma.

Over in Houhai, Wang Fei was also hesitating whether to send a message to Jiang Chen. She picked up the phone several times and put it down again. In the end, she held the phone tightly, stared at the live broadcast screen, and listened attentively to Jiang Chen's singing.

Li Wenjun, who was not far away in another courtyard, took the initiative to send a message to Jiang Chen: "I am willing to be the one who loves your soul and wrinkles!"
