At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

The pub stays open until after 2 a.m.

Shen Qiushan got home at three in the morning.

Today, Lin Xiamo and Lin Jiayu, the two sisters, are staying at home. As usual, Lin Jiayu sleeps with Shen Yanran.

Lin Xiamo secretly entered Shen Qiushan's room.

Although neither of them were particularly interested in foreign holidays, that didn't stop them from celebrating with great enthusiasm.

After the celebration ended and I took a shower, it was already past four o'clock.

Shen Qiushan, on the contrary, was no longer sleepy. Lin Xiamo sat on the bay window, looking at the neon-lit river view, feeling somewhat sentimental.

Although she wasn't a materialistic woman, she never imagined that one day she would be living in such a riverside mansion and getting together with her former brother-in-law, Shen Qiushan.

Looking back on the past few months, it has truly felt somewhat surreal.

"How are the preparations for the finals going?"

Wrapped in a bath towel, Shen Qiushan walked to the window and affectionately put his arm around Lin Xiamo's shoulder.

"I haven't decided what song to sing yet."

"By the way, Tingting and the others hope you can participate in the performance during the finals!"

“We’ve been saying in previous episodes that you’re also a member of the Red Rose Band. Now that we’re in the finals, you should show your face, right?”

Lin Xiamo looked up at Shen Qiushan, her eyes filled with expectation.

"Okay!"

Shen Qiushan smiled and nodded: "I happen to have a song here that we can play around with on the final stage!"

"Have you written another new song?"

Lin Xiamo's beautiful eyes lit up. Although her previous song, "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style," was criticized by many for being too tacky, it did not prevent it from becoming a nationwide hit.

Even more unexpectedly, thanks to the explosive popularity of "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend," Chen Qingzhu, a singer from a performing arts troupe who had remained unknown her entire life, suddenly became famous.

He suddenly became a well-known "veteran artist"!
"Yeah, I write whenever I have free time. I've been bursting with inspiration lately!"

Shen Qiushan boasts without any restraint. In order to win over his mother-in-law Chen Qingzhu, he used all the academic points he earned to participate in the lottery. Besides the song "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend" that he had already given away, he still had three other songs in hand.

However, the remaining three songs are not suitable for Chen Qingzhu. If he were to perform on stage in the finals, one of the three songs, a DJ-style duet, would be quite suitable for him and Lin Xiamo to try.

The reason I say "play" is because this song is different from my previous works, such as "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend" and "Red Rose"!
It's a completely new style.

"That's amazing, send it to me to see."

Lin Xiamo became interested.

"OK!"

"I'll send it to you right away!"

Shen Qiushan immediately sent Lin Xiamo the song titled "Nine Thousand Words" that he had already downloaded to his phone.

[Writing the most cutting words]

To ridicule this mundane world
But I can't bear to scold you in the slightest.

I am also a woman of many charms

Not a good person
Who is fortunate enough to have given their life to the wrong person?

Looking at the lyrics, Lin Xiamo's brows furrowed unconsciously.

She could understand the lyrics of songs like "Red Rose" and "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" and knew what the songs were trying to express, but she couldn't understand either the title or the lyrics of this song.

What is the message of this song?

"I have absolutely no clue what to do."

After watching the entire song, Lin Xiamo spoke frankly.

Does a song have to express something?

Actually, Shen Qiushan didn't understand the meaning of the song either, but the works rewarded by the system all had demos, and he felt pretty excited after listening to them.

"Uh?"

"It seems so!"

Lin Xiamo was stunned, stumped by Shen Qiushan's question.

People are always accustomed to assigning all sorts of meanings to works of art, but they overlook the fact that the greatest function of music, novels, and films is to entertain the public and give people a moment of relaxation amidst their busy work and life.

It's certainly good if entertainment can convey some ideas, but if it can't, simply bringing people a pleasant experience is also perfectly acceptable.

For example, some light music or high-energy DJ dance music may not be able to understand what it is trying to express, but that does not prevent it from bringing you a moment of peace or igniting your high emotions at a certain time.

Let's rehearse tomorrow and see how it goes!

Lin Xiamo wasn't sure if she and Shen Qiushan could perform this song well, so she thought she would discuss it with Hu Tingting and the other two, and then listen to the opinion of their mentor Yang Nian.

"it is good!"

Shen Qiushan nodded. He chose this song because he thought it was upbeat and suited his mood recently.

Since we're going to perform on stage, let's do something different.

"By the way, I'd like to invite Dad to the finals."

Do you have any ideas on how to persuade him?

Lin Xiamo asked again.

Because Lin Moxuan had always opposed her pursuing music, she still really wanted to prove herself to her father.

The final stage of "Voice of China" was arguably the most important performance she had given since forming her band.

Therefore, Lin Xiamo really wanted her father to come and watch the game.

"This is easy, leave it to me."

"I'm going home for dinner tomorrow, so I might as well take care of this matter!"

Having been scheming about how to win over his father-in-law, Shen Qiushan now knows Lin Moxuan very well.

The timing is not yet right to propose marriage directly in person.

However, Shen Qiushan was quite confident about getting Lin Moxuan to the finals of "Voice of China".

"So confident?"

In Lin Xiamo's view, this matter was still very difficult.

"Wait for my good news!"

Shen Qiushan patted Lin Xiamo on the shoulder with a smile. In just a short while, two ideas had already flashed through his mind.

The next day.

Lin.

It was noon when Shen Qiushan and his group arrived.

It happened right at mealtime.

They didn't do it on purpose; they just went to bed too late.

Even Shen Yanran and Lin Jiayu didn't go to sleep until after 3 a.m., let alone Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo who were celebrating the holiday.

"Akiyama, you stayed up late again last night, didn't you!"

"At your age, you should avoid staying up late!"

Seeing Shen Qiushan park his car outside, Chen Qingzhu went to the door to wait.

Now she finds her son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye.

Previously, she thought that Shen Qiushan had only helped her fulfill her dream of performing on stage. As a singer who had lost her stage, she was already very happy to be able to perform on a stage like "Voice of China" that attracted the attention of the entire nation.

Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning.

With the explosive popularity of "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend", various music companies and concert promoters have come knocking on our door.

Even the leaders of the Sanjiang Cultural Troupe, where she used to work, took the initiative to approach her, hoping to rehire her from the troupe.

Almost overnight.

Chen Qingzhu went from being an unknown retired singer to a highly sought-after "veteran artist".

Reaching retirement age, she finally experienced the taste of "great fame and fortune," which naturally made Chen Qingzhu very happy!
Chen Qingzhu was not the kind of arrogant young woman; she knew that her "comeback" was entirely thanks to her talented son-in-law, Shen Qiushan.

Without Shen Qiushan's composition "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style," she would still be just an unknown retired singer!
Therefore, her attitude towards Shen Qiushan was naturally very good!

Lin Moxuan's attitude contrasted sharply with Chen Qingzhu's.

When Shen Qiushan entered the room, Director Lin was sitting on the sofa watching the midday news.

Even after Shen Qiushan arrived, he remained completely focused, as if he hadn't seen him at all.

Ok?
Has he offended his father-in-law again?

Shen Qiushan found it amusing and casually moved over to sit next to Lin Moxuan. At that moment, the midday news was reporting on the national football team's loss.

"Dad, it's normal for the national football team to lose, there's no need to look so worried!"

Shen Qiushan knew perfectly well that Lin Moxuan's tense expression couldn't possibly be due to the news content, but he deliberately cracked a joke, steerning the conversation towards the national football team's loss.

The goal was simple: to get Lin Moxuan to correct his statement himself, so that Shen Qiushan would know why his father-in-law was unhappy again.

"It's a good thing the national football team lost." "Consider it a hedge against the nation's bad luck!"

Lin Moxuan pursed his lips and replied, and this Director Lin's interpretation of the national football team's loss was quite unique.

Shen Qiushan quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, it can also be considered a contribution to our country!"

"Where's Xiaoxiao?"

"Isn't his leg better? Why didn't he come?"

Lin Moxuan has a very strong preference for sons over daughters; otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to have a third child.

Seeing that his grandson Shen Yixiao hadn't come along, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I went to the capital."

Shen Qiushan answered truthfully.

"You went to the capital again?"

"You broke your leg last time you went there, why don't you learn your lesson!"

Lin Moxuan frowned.

"He went to find a girlfriend."

"This time there shouldn't be any problems!"

Shen Qiushan naturally wouldn't mention that his brat had been caught by the security department of the University of Political Science and Law last night.

"You've got another girlfriend?"

Lin Moxuan raised an eyebrow: "Didn't they say they were breaking up before?"

"Not the one from before."

Shen Qiushan waved his hand and continued, "This girl is from the University of Political Science and Law. She's beautiful and comes from a good family."

"This brat!"

"His academic performance isn't great, but he changes girlfriends pretty quickly!"

Lin Moxuan pursed his lips and complained, then said to Shen Qiushan, "Although Xiaoxiao is a boy, you still need to keep a close eye on him and not let him run wild!"

"You don't want to be a grandfather at 40, do you?"

"Uh……"

Shen Qiushan was slightly taken aback; he hadn't thought of it in that direction before.

However, after Lin Moxuan reminded him, Shen Qiushan suddenly felt that becoming a grandfather at the age of 40 would be a pretty awesome thing.

"Dad, then you have a great-grandson!"

Shen Qiushan replied.

"I don't want to!"

Lin Moxuan rolled his eyes: "Xiaoxiao is only a freshman in college, she should focus on her studies!"

"Keep a close eye on him!"

"okay!"

Shen Qiushan smiled and nodded.

Actually, when Shen Yixiao and Luo Yao were dating, Shen Qiushan had reminded his son to take precautions.

Besides the fact that she was too young, Shen Qiushan also didn't think much of Luo Yao as his "daughter-in-law".

And now his brat's girlfriend has changed to Lin Yufei.

Shen Qiushan was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law, so if there really was an "accident"...

He can accept it.

So what if you become a grandfather at 40?
What's the big deal.

He was 38 years old and was able to take the college entrance exam with his children!

"Dad, want to play a couple of rounds?"

Seeing that Lin Moxuan was still silent with a straight face, Shen Qiushan made a suggestion with a smile.

"Then let's play Go!"

Compared to chess, Lin Moxuan prefers Go, especially as he gets older, he enjoys the strategic feeling of playing Go more and more.

"Okay!"

Shen Qiushan nodded: "However, Dad, you know my Go skills, so I'll give you a few stones' handicap!"

"Give way?"

Lin Moxuan's lips twitched. Wasn't this an insult?

However, considering their previous record against each other, Shen Qiushan's words weren't exactly boasting.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Moxuan would have no chance of winning at all, given his previous string of defeats.

"Then let the third son have it!"

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Moxuan decided to face reality, believing that this would allow for a better experience during the game of chess.

Otherwise, it's really pointless to be unilaterally crushed.

Upon hearing that he would let the three sons win, Shen Qiushan shook his head: "Let's let the nine sons win instead!"

"Nine sons??"

Lin Moxuan's lips twitched violently, and his old face turned bright red: "Who do you think you are?"

"Give the nine sons back!!"

There are also rules regarding handicaps in Go, which usually range from one to nine stones.

Nine stones is the maximum number of stones a player can give, and it is only used when there is a huge difference in skill between the two players.

At this moment, Shen Qiushan directly suggested letting the nine sons have their way. It would be strange if the proud and arrogant Lin Moxuan didn't go berserk.

"Dad, how about we make a bet?"

"Let me give you nine small blue bottles if you win."

Shen Qiushan said with a smile.

"real??"

Lin Moxuan was initially quite angry, but after hearing about the bet, his eyes lit up.

"Of course!"

Shen Qiushan nodded firmly: "When have I ever lied to you!"

"it is good!"

"That's what you said."

"Then let the nine sons have it!"

Lin Moxuan no longer cared about saving face.

Those are nine little blue bottles!
What's the point of saving face!
However, once he sat down at the chessboard, Lin Moxuan realized, "Wait a minute, there's only a bet that I win. What if I lose?"

Although Lin Moxuan felt that the possibility of losing was very low.

But anything can happen, especially since Shen Qiushan had defeated five experts from Korea single-handedly.

"If I win by sheer luck, Dad, you can promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

Lin Moxuan asked vigilantly.

"Go to the Voice of China live show to cheer on Momo!"

Shen Qiushan stated his conditions.

"Uh……"

Lin Moxuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Shen Qiushan to make such a request.

After a moment's consideration, he nodded: "Okay!"

"If you win, I'll go to the Voice of China live show to cheer for Momo!"

"Ok!"
