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

Chapter 171 170. Who are Zebra Zebra? Who are we?

Zebra, zebra!
When more than one million viewers in the live broadcast room heard Jiang Chen's singing, they all felt that Jiang Chen was telling a story, a story about zebras.

Maybe even a story about yourself.

There were fewer comments in the live broadcast room, and most of the audience remained quiet, listening attentively to Jiang Chen's singing that was full of stories.

Many audiences who understand vocal music heard that Jiang Chen’s singing skills have improved again!
The young couple next to them covered their mouths excitedly, fearing that they would scream out loud.

"Zebra, zebra, don't fall asleep."

"Show me your injured tail again..."

"I don't want to touch the scar of your wound..."

"I just want to lift your hair..."

"Zebra, zebra, you are back home."

"But I am wasting my cold years..."

"There is not a single door in your city open for me..."

“I’ll have to get back on the road eventually.”

……

Jiang Chen played the guitar with great concentration, and every word he sang made people imagine and conjure up a story in their heads.

The number of viewers in the live broadcast room quickly rose to 1.5 million, and the number of barrages increased again.

"Is this song by Lao Jiang about himself? His past life in Shanghai?"

"To be honest, I lived in Shanghai for a few years and now I'm back home. It's too depressing and stressful."

"This is a folk song, Lao Jiang's folk song, so beautiful."

"Lao Jiang's singing is like the voice in my heart."

"The zebra symbolizes Jiang himself?"

"There is not a single door in your city open for me. I can't help but want to cry when I hear this! In this huge capital city, there is not a single door that is my home."

"I have to get back on the road eventually. Isn't this what Lao Jiang is like now? I have to go back to my hometown eventually?"

……

Many audiences were attracted by Jiang Chen's singing and began to interpret Jiang Chen's lyrics.

Jiang Chen slowly played the guitar and continued to sing his songs.

"Zebra, zebra, you are red from the south."

“Isn’t this also a touching story…?”

"If the actor next door can't stay..."

"Who will sleep with you till dawn..."

"Zebra, zebra, do you still remember me?"

"I'm just a fool who can only sing."

"Zebra, zebra, go to sleep..."

"I will pack my guitar and leave the North..."

……

Jiang Chen's singing made the young couple next to him shed tears. They seemed to feel the loneliness and powerlessness in the big city, as well as an inexplicable sadness.

Many viewers in the live broadcast room also expressed their desire to cry.

"Zebra, zebra, do you still remember me?"

"I am a child who pretends to be sad..."

"Zebra zebra, go to sleep..."

"I'll bring your green grass back to my hometown..."

"Zebra, zebra, don't fall asleep..."

"I'm just a traveler in a hurry..."

"Zebra, zebra, go to sleep..."

“I’m going to sell my house.”

"Wandering around the world..."

……

Jiang Chen's singing voice has a kind of suppressed sadness, but also a kind of liberating relaxation.

But, it is more of a feeling of helplessness and powerlessness.

Yan Ruyu was still in Chang'an at this time, sitting on the sofa watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast. She couldn't help but wipe her eyes and murmured in a low voice: "What did you go through?"

She picked up the phone and wanted to send a message to Jiang Chen, but she held back because Jiang Chen was still live streaming and she didn't want to disturb him.

at the same time!

Li Wenjun and Wang Fei in Beijing also picked up their phones and hesitated for a moment.

In a dormitory apartment on the Sichuan University campus, Qin Xuerong stood in front of the window, watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast, and then looked at the scenery of Sichuan University outside the window. She felt a shudder all over her body: "This is the campus where you have spent a few years. It's a pity that I didn't come here back then!"

Qin Xuerong said this, but he knew in his heart that the reason he didn't come to Sichuan University was not because his scores were not high enough, but because his scores were much higher than those of Sichuan University.

Listening to Jiang Chen's singing, Qin Xuerong said, "Only with experiences and stories can one write so many good works. This is the case with the top writers in history. They went through a lot of hardships in life and left behind masterpieces that are popular and passed down for thousands of years. If they had been smooth sailing, they would definitely not have been able to write so many masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages."

…………

on site!

Han Qing was most moved by Jiang Chen's singing, and tears couldn't stop flowing down her cheeks.

She and Jiang Chen had lived together in a tiny rental house of only a few square meters. She had experienced the oppression of the megacity and the confusion of life. Now, listening to Jiang Chen's singing, she felt as if Jiang Chen was singing about her.

Although Pu Yuexi and Chen Xiaojia are also sentimental, they have not experienced many setbacks in their lives. This is because they have been talented musicians since childhood and their family backgrounds are not ordinary. After graduation, they also made some money and did not experience many setbacks. It is just the sentimentality that is the instinct of young artists.

Jiang Chen continued to play the guitar, and the singing was still floating in the yard.

"Zebra, zebra, do you still remember me?"

"I am a child who pretends to be sad."

"Zebra, zebra, go to sleep..."

"I'll bring your green grass back to my hometown..."

"Zebra, zebra, don't fall asleep..."

"I'm just a traveler in a hurry..."

"Zebra, zebra, go to sleep..."

“I’m selling my house…”

"Wandering around the world......"

…………

Jiang Chen's singing voice exudes more freedom, as if he has figured something out. A smile appears at the corner of his mouth, and his hands playing the guitar become more brisk.

The number of viewers in the live broadcast room has risen to more than 1.6 million, all watching Jiang Chen play the guitar.

It lasted for several minutes.

Jiang Chen slowly stopped his movements and said to the live camera: "Thank you for your appreciation. This song is called Zebra Zebra and I'll give it to everyone. That's all for today. Good night, everyone..."

After saying that, Jiang Chen handed the guitar to Han Qing beside him, then stood up and walked towards the stairs, intending to go back to his room to rest.

Han Qing hurriedly took the guitar and looked at Pu Yuexi and the others without saying a word.

The young couple watched Jiang Chen leave without saying a word, for fear of making Jiang Chen angry.

They often watch Jiang Chen's live broadcast, so they know that this is Jiang Chen's style. He will end the broadcast when he says so, without any nonsense.

The two were still immersed in Jiang Chen's singing and guitar. They both felt that listening to Jiang Chen singing live was more emotional than watching the live broadcast. The emotions of the singing were more intense, making the two of them almost forget themselves and completely immersed in the emotions of the singing.

This feeling is something they have never experienced in their lives.

“It’s so cool to listen to Lao Jiang singing live!”

Both of them had this feeling in their hearts. Then, the young woman took out her mobile phone and posted a circle of friends - I met Lao Jiang by chance in the B&B, and listened to Lao Jiang singing live. He sang and made us cry. It was so beautiful.

Han Qing, Pu Yuexi and others quickly packed up their things, put the guitars back, and then went back to their rooms to prepare for rest.

We have to leave for Chengdu early tomorrow morning.

Once they arrive in Chengdu, they can have a good rest.

Perhaps, this is the focus of their trip with Jiang Chen.

Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia and others were feeling a little depressed and in a bad mood.

Because they were afraid that once they arrived in Chengdu and Jiang Chen went home, they would have no reason to continue performing with Jiang Chen.

When the time comes, Jiang Chen ends his cooperation with them and asks them to return to the Magic City. What should they do?
After working with Jiang Chen for so long, they have been completely conquered by him and have become accustomed to such cooperation and to enjoying Jiang Chen's high-level music and production capabilities.

They couldn't accept going back to the Magic City and returning to their old days.

Jiang Chen returned to the room, washed up, and fell on the bed. He looked at the two songs he uploaded yesterday, one was Xintianyou and the other was a song by Xi'an people.

Both songs are very regional in nature. If they were released under normal circumstances, their sales would definitely not be too high.

Because people in other places might not like it too much.

However, Jiang Chen was singing live in Chang'an at the time, and there were nearly two million viewers in the live broadcast room, almost conquering the entire Chang'an population.

Therefore, the local people in Chang'an alone can contribute a lot of downloads.

Plus many other loyal fans of Jiang Chen.

and so!
At the end of the day, the download volume of the two songs still exceeded four million, reaching a super figure of more than 4.1 million.

However, Jiang Chen knew that the subsequent download volume of these two songs might be relatively weak!

However, Jiang Chen was already very satisfied with this amount of publicity.

Lying on the bed, I turned off Penguin Music, checked the messages on my phone, and replied to a few messages.

Yan Ruyu: "Are you unhappy? Singing such a heavy song, do you want me to call you and chat with you?"

Jiang Chen: "No, thank you, go to bed early, good night!"

Yan Ruyu: "Good night, I will return to Rongcheng early tomorrow morning, and my dad and I will pick you up then."

Jiang Chen: "Pick me up? No need, we'll just drive home."

Yan Ruyu: "No, you are the most outstanding liberal arts student in the history of our Sichuan University. We must go pick you up."

Jiang Chen: "Our Sichuan University?"

Yan Ruyu: "Yes, I have accepted the invitation from Sichuan University. This time I return to Chengdu to join the class of Sichuan University. From now on, please call me Teacher Yan, or Professor Yan."

Jiang Chen: “Oh!”

Yan Ruyu: "Hehe, I'm just kidding. No one in China dares to let you call them teacher. I won't talk to you anymore. Good night."

Jiang Chen: "Good night!"

Li Wenjun also sent a message: "Come to Chengdu tomorrow, shall we have dinner together?"

Jiang Chen: "Okay, I'll treat you then."

Li Wenjun: "Okay, I really want to leave as soon as I say goodbye like you."

Jiang Chen: "Of course you can!"

Li Wenjun: "Not as free and easy as you."

Jiang Chen: "Let yourself go and make things difficult for others."

Li Wenjun: "Many people say that Chengdu is the most livable city in the country. I want to stay in Chengdu. What do you think?"

Jiang Chen was silent for a few seconds, then said: "As a local of Rongcheng, I think Rongcheng is very suitable for settling down. You can try living here for a few days. Maybe you are not used to it."

Li Wenjun: "Okay, I accept your suggestion!"

Jiang Chen: "No, good night!"

Li Wenjun: "Good night!"

Qin Xuerong also sent a message: "I am at Sichuan University, at your former school, waiting for you to come back and teach me."

Jiang Chen: “I don’t dare!”

Qin Xuerong: "Sichuan University invited me to stay here. What do you think?"

The same problem again!
Jiang Chen was silent for a few seconds again before he said, "It depends on your preference."

Qin Xuerong: "Okay, I understand."

Jiang Chen really wanted to ask, what do you know?

However, he didn't ask any more questions, just said good night and ended the conversation, fearing that he would be responsible if he continued the conversation.

Wang Fei also sent a message and chatted for a few words. Jiang Chen replied a few words and then it ended.

My mom sent me a message: "Are you back? A lot of people came today, from your old elementary school, middle school, high school, and university. They want you to come back to school and give a speech or something. I didn't agree to anything, so you can come back and handle it yourself."

Jiang Chen: "Okay, I know what I'm doing."

Jiang Chen felt a headache when he saw these.

However, this is his hometown and he can't avoid it.

Mom: "You've reached Jianmen Pass? You really want to play, otherwise hurry up on the road and you can be home in the evening."

Jiang Chen: "It's nothing urgent, why are you in such a hurry?"

Mom: "Go ahead and play if you want. You're that old now, and we can't control you anymore."

Jiang Chen: "Good night, Mom!"

Jiang Chen forced himself to end the conversation with his mother. He was afraid to continue the conversation, so he couldn't help but get up and rush home.

Li Li sent a message: "Lao Jiang, Lao Liao, our class monitor in college, said that the school asked him to organize all the classmates from our former class to hold a party in school in a few days. He asked you not to miss it."

Jiang Chen saw it and knew that the school organized this party for him, so he immediately replied: "I know, I will go when I have time."

Li Li: "Wei Ge, Dong Zi and I will all go."

Jiang Chen: "Got it. I have no choice but to go."

Li Li: "Haha, I knew you would give us three face."

Jiang Chen: "I haven't been back for a long time, it would be nice to go and take a look!"

After graduation, Jiang Chen left the class group, and has not attended any class reunions or returned to the school campus in the past few years.

So, thinking about it now, Jiang Chen still missed his carefree college life.

That was probably the happiest time in his life so far.

Although Liu Yu brought him some sadness, he no longer thought about it and no longer cared about it.

He left the group and never attended any class reunions, simply because he didn't want any trouble.

Not only the university group, but also the high school group, junior high school group, and elementary school group, he had already quit them all a long time ago.

Of his old classmates, the only ones who could contact him were his three roommates in college.

Li Li replied: "Okay, I'll tell Lao Liao and the class teacher that you will come."

Jiang Chen: "Okay, I'll be there!"

Li Li: "Hahaha, it will definitely be very lively then."

Li Li knew that the school was preparing some activities for Jiang Chen, but he didn't know the details. He only knew that the school was serious this time and there was a lot of preparation work involved, which meant that the event was on a large scale.

Such activities are definitely rare for Sichuan University.

After finishing the chat, Jiang Chen looked at a bowl of ox trotters in soy milk and then went to sleep.

Han Qing next door is also sorting out today’s income!

She thought that since Jiang Chen left Chang'an today and only sang one song in the evening, the income from the live broadcast would definitely drop a lot.

but……

The truth was different from what she thought.
