How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 284 What happened later
At this moment, more and more people on the Internet listened to the new song "Later" written by Jiang Yu for Su Muwan. More and more people fell into deep thought after listening to this song.

After listening to the song, many people feel a sense of emptiness, as if something is missing. That feeling is filled with regret and sadness, and their minds unconsciously flash back to their own youth, the person who amazed them throughout their youth, the person they buried deep in their hearts...

In a certain neighborhood.

Zhou Lei was sitting on the sofa at the moment, eating takeout. He had just come back from overtime and didn't want to cook, so he just ordered takeout.

It's been almost eight years since I graduated, and after graduation I stayed in Hangzhou, a big city like my university, to work. From a freshman on campus to the current project team leader, my career has been relatively smooth.

While eating takeout, Zhou Lei replied to some messages in the work group via voice, explaining to his team members the issues and key points that needed to be paid attention to in the project at hand. After the explanation, Zhou Lei exited the WeChat page and clicked on the short video app.

Now that he is at work, he has very little free time. Sometimes he watches short videos and reads the news while eating, going to the toilet, or lying in bed after cleaning up.

As soon as Zhou Lei opened the short video app, he saw the news that Su Muwan’s new song was online, which made him think of the hot news he had seen before.

"Oh, I almost forgot it's Monday."

Zhou Lei wasn't a fan of celebrities, he just liked listening to music. He was also somewhat interested in the new songs of talented singers like Su Muwan. He was bored anyway, so after seeing the news, he opened the music app and prepared to listen to Su Muwan's new song.

"later……"

"It was written by Jiang Yu."

After seeing the song information, Zhou Lei became even more curious. Since it was a collaboration between Jiang Yu and Su Muwan, the quality of this song must be impeccable.

When Zhou Lei clicked play, melodious music with a hint of sadness sounded, and Zhou Lei was immediately attracted.

"later

I finally learned it

how to love
It's a pity that you've already gone away

Disappear in the crowd

Later, I finally understood through tears
Some people will never miss it once they miss it..."

Zhou Lei listened to the song, lost in thought. The takeout had lost its flavor, and he couldn't even hold his chopsticks. Just looking at the lyrics displayed on the phone in his left hand and listening to Su Muwan's singing, Zhou Lei suddenly felt empty inside.

He just sat on the sofa, listening to Su Muwan's song "Later" and reading the lyrics written by Jiang Yu. His thoughts drifted away. It seemed that with the song, he was back to that summer with the incessant chirping of cicadas, back to the time when he and she walked hand in hand on the campus together...

"Zhou Lei, Zhou Lei, come here, I'll take a picture of you."

"Zhou Lei, Zhou Lei, where are you going to work after graduation?"

"Okay, okay, let's work hard together in Hangzhou."

"Zhou Lei Zhou Lei, will you marry me?"

"Yes! Definitely! You want to have a cat, right? Then we can buy a big house and you can have a cat."

"Zhou Lei, how long do I have to wait? I'm already 27 this year, and I'll be 30 in two years. I see many of Lingling and her friends are already married. When are we going to get married?"

"Wait a little longer. You know, I'm very busy at work. I have the opportunity to be promoted to team leader. If I can become a team leader, our lives will be much better in the future."

"Zhou Lei, I can't wait any longer. I'm really tired. I'm sorry..."

……

The scenes flashed through his mind like a movie. Zhou Lei's chopsticks fell to the ground, his eyes red. At first, he was able to suppress his emotions. But with the flood of memories and Su Muwan's singing, Zhou Lei could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears.

He lost the girl who had his eyes full of her.

After a while, Zhou Lei, with tears in his eyes, finally came to his senses. He opened WeChat and found the familiar profile picture. Zhou Lei hesitated for a long time before clicking on it, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The next moment, Zhou Lei's phone rang. Seeing the familiar number, his heart skipped a beat. He felt like a bewildered child, unsure what to do. Excitement, anticipation, and confusion—all these complex emotions seemed to flash across his face.

After a while, which seemed like a few seconds, but also seemed like a long time, Zhou Lei finally answered the phone, his voice trembling.

"Hey……"

There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Zhou Lei didn't say anything either. The two of them seemed to be quiet as they were separated by the phone.

After a while, Zhou Lei continued to speak in a trembling voice.

"Are you...doing well?"

"Ah."

Listening to that familiar voice, Zhou Lei felt his heart trembling.

There was silence again, and after a while, the person on the other end spoke and asked.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah! I'm fine. I eat on time, keep the house clean, don't stay up late, and don't drink..."

Zhou Lei blurted out everything in his mind. The person on the other side laughed out loud when he heard his childish report. Hearing the laughter on the other side, Zhou Lei also laughed. It seemed that at this moment, he was back to the beginning, back to the time when the two of them first met.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Lei spoke tentatively.

"Can we... go back to the way things were before?"

There was another moment of silence. At this moment, Zhou Lei's heart was hanging in the air. He could feel his heartbeat quickening. This feeling was just like when he was about to confess his love to her.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

During these few seconds, Zhou Lei felt like he had spent a century, and his heart was in his throat.

Just when he thought he could never go back to the past, with a bit of loss in his eyes, and was about to speak, a female voice came from the other side.

"Zhou Lei, I don't want our future to end. If possible, would you marry me tomorrow?"

Listening to the voice that was slightly reproachful but also a bit expectant, Zhou Lei suddenly felt as if his mind exploded. The next moment, he stood up from the sofa and spoke excitedly.

"Yes! I do!" He had waited for this moment for a very long time, and she had also waited for a very long time, and now they finally waited for each other.

On Jia Jia's side, she stood on the balcony, also bursting into tears. On the tablet in the living room, Su Muwan's new song "Later" was playing. And she and Zhou Lei also had a later relationship.

Their later life, there was later life...

……

That night, many similar experiences occurred to Zhou Lei. Su Muwan's song "Later" moved countless people to tears and gave many others a sudden realization. Later, there can be no later. Songs and youth can have regrets, but the rest of my life and future cannot have regrets, at least that person cannot have regrets.

Or, as long as there's a chance, everyone wants to try again. What if they succeed? Even if they don't succeed, when they make that call and say those words, there will be no regrets.

Lin Qianqian had already prepared a music review video and sent it out. At this moment, more and more people were sharing their chat records online.

"Wow, seriously, this song Jiang Yu wrote for Su Muwan is really beautiful, and everyone really needs to cherish the person whose eyes are full of you. Some things, some words, need to be spoken out with courage, and maybe there will really be a future (picture). Everyone, congratulate me, I found the girl who belongs to me."

"The song is regrettable. We didn't have a future together afterwards, but today, I want to say that because of this song, I don't want to have any regrets, so (picture), we're back together, everyone, cheer on!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. I listened to this new song Jiang Yu wrote for Su Muwan several times today. Can you believe that a man in his thirties like me sat in the living room for a long time after listening to it? The aftertaste of this song is really too strong. Alas, later, she and I were separated."

……

Jiang Yu had just returned home from work, showered, and sat on the sofa, browsing Weibo and trending news. Seeing everyone's comments on Su Muwan's new song "Later," which had been released today, Jiang Yu smiled with satisfaction.

From the moment he decided to give this song to Su Muwan, Jiang Yu knew she would be perfect. Rene Liu's "Later" was incredibly powerful and a classic. Now that Su Muwan was performing well, this song was sure to become one of her most popular classics. It was the kind of song that, even years later, would inspire a chorus the moment the melody sounded.

Recently, Jiang Yu has completed the script of the movie "Secret" which he is about to shoot. He will participate in several programs and activities next week. After he is done with his work, he will prepare to start the preliminary preparations for the filming of the movie.

At this moment, Jiang Yu vaguely heard the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground outside the house. Although the house was well soundproofed, the sound was very crisp and loud, and a bit chaotic. The person walked heavily, and some sounds could still be heard vaguely.

"Xuexue is back?"

Jiang Yu was a little confused. He felt the sound stop at his door, but there was no doorbell ringing. It must be Yang Xue's house across the street. Yang Xue had been filming a modern drama recently. Many scenes were shot abroad, and she hadn't been home for a while.

When Jiang Yu heard the noise, he got up and opened the door. He saw Yang Xue holding the phone in one hand and dialing the password with the other. There was a pile of things in front of the door.

"Huh? Xuexue, you're back."

When Yang Xue heard the noise, she turned around and looked at Jiang Yu, also a little surprised.

"Are you home?"

Today, Yang Xue wore a black suspender skirt that reached her thighs. Her long, sexy legs were covered in thin black stockings, and she wore high heels, which made her look even taller and more outstanding. The proud shape of her chest was particularly eye-catching, and her long hair was spread out, giving her a royal air.

"Yeah, I've been at home recently. But you didn't even tell me you were coming back. Are you done filming?"

"Yeah, it's finished. I heard Jingya say that you were busy with Tomb Raiders Notes and the new movie, so I thought you weren't at home."

Seeing that she had so many things, Jiang Yu went over to help her move them into the house.

Yang Xue's house is cleaned by an aunt every week, so it is very clean and tidy. Jiang Yu put the things away and took a look. They were all bags and jewelry bought abroad.

"You went out to film a scene, and you bought so many bags? Don't you have so many at home?"

Yang Xue has a display case at home dedicated to bags, filled with limited-edition designer bags. Many of them are her own purchases, but most are free. Given Yang Xue's status, many brands will give her bags directly, and she also endorses some of these brands.

"Tsk, it will look nice when you buy it, and you can give it to others later."

As soon as Yang Xue entered the house, she took off her high heels and stepped on the cold floor with her bare black silk feet. Without the restraint of high heels, Yang Xue felt that walking around the house barefoot was quite comfortable.

Jiang Yu smiled, looked at the time and asked, "Have you eaten yet? If not, go to my place and make it for you. You haven't been home for so long, the refrigerator is empty."

"Okay, go sit over there first. I'll put my bag down and come over."

"Row."

By the time Yang Xue came over, Jiang Yu had already prepared the noodles.

"Here, eat."

Yang Xue was still wearing the black suspender dress she had just worn, and she was sitting opposite Jiang Yu. From Jiang Yu's position, he could see the snow-white, round curve and the bottomless ravine.

Yang Xue, who had just gotten off the plane and rushed back, was indeed hungry. Jiang Yu's noodles were still as delicious as before. After such a long time filming abroad, although there was Chinese food to eat, it still couldn't compare to the taste in China.

"Jingya said, are you planning to make a movie later?"

Yang Xue looked at Jiang Yu and asked while eating.

Before, she chatted with Chu Jingya and learned that Jiang Yu was preparing to shoot a movie recently, which he would direct, act in, and write himself.

"Well, I'm going to try it myself."

"Do you need my help?"

Yang Xue looked at Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu had previously asked her to play the leading lady in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles." This time, Jiang Yu was filming a movie, and Yang Xue felt that she could postpone her schedule if necessary.

"Well, I won't bother Xuexue this time. I plan to use the company's newcomers and give them a boost. If they can become successful, I'll be able to relax a bit later."

Although Yang Xue knew Jiang Yu's words made sense, and that he wanted to relax and gradually step back, and that he would definitely promote new people, she still felt a sense of resentment when she found out that Jiang Yu didn't plan to use her. Did this guy think he was no good enough? Couldn't compare to the new people in his company?

Perhaps it was a woman's competitive spirit that was at work, but Yang Xue couldn't help but ask, "Which artist from your company are you planning to use?"

"Yang Zihan? Or Lin Feifei?"

"Or maybe Zhao Ying?"

Jiang Yu's company currently only had these three female artists, so it wasn't impossible for a singer to develop into an actress. Yang Xue really wanted to know who this guy would turn to if not her.
