Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

"Will this work...?"

Qi Luoan never expected Yu Wei to have such a plan, wanting to use a song to help her great-uncle and Grandma Zhong get together, right?

These two have been arguing for most of their lives without any resolution. Now they're practically half-buried, and it's unclear whether it'll be too late.

However, Qi Luoan wholeheartedly agreed. Whether it would work out or not, they should at least give it a try. Out of personal desire, she naturally wanted to see Ye Laodeng find love.

At this age, it would be such a pity if we couldn't be together until the very last moment of our lives.

"I don't know, but they can definitely handle this song."

Veteran artists should sing songs that are meant for veteran artists. Letting young people sing a classic like "The Boatman's Love" would be a disservice to it.

Young singers pursue popularity and want to quickly establish themselves with a signature song; young singers like Meng Han pursue art and want to express their feelings through music.

However, older musicians sing for meaning.

As people get older, they can't take fame, fortune, or art with them. They just want to leave something behind, and they will prefer works that can "go down in history," as that is proof that they existed.

This song, "The Boatman's Love," is absolutely worthy of the title. It remains to be seen whether Ye Shengyu and Zhong Qing will be moved. At their age, to be able to leave behind a timeless classic is truly a worthwhile achievement.

"So, what should we sing?"

Yu Wei just mentioned a song about the two of them, but this one isn't, so it has to be the next one. Who would have thought that the 9.9-point song was just a distraction...

Sing your favorite love song.

Qi Luoan's fame is actually completely tied to him; most viewers' knowledge of her is limited to the fact that she is "Yu Wei's girlfriend."

It sounds a bit like the female lead in a romance novel who's just a pampered wife. After all, netizens aren't obligated to know her, and it's understandable that people would think that way from the perspective of fame.

Qi Luoan wasn't bothered by this at all. So what if they were just accessories? Their relationship was recognized by so many people, which was a good thing!

Since everyone thinks this way, it's a good opportunity for them to continue cultivating their expertise in the realm of romantic relationships.

"At times like this, shouldn't you prove yourself and show your independent self?"

After being treated as a mere accessory, they angrily went on stage and silenced the doubters with a high-quality solo performance. Netizens commented that they were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman...

Am I sick?

Qi Luoan casually picked up a couple of bites of food and said, "You want me to sing a song to prove myself, right? Well, I still rely on you for my livelihood, don't I?"

This behavior is puzzling. At least she doesn't have that obsession with being independent for the sake of independence. What others think is their business. Just do what makes you happy.

"A great character."

Yu Wei looked at her for a long time, and finally silently typed out the title "The Most Romantic Thing".

There are many classic love songs sung by male and female singers, but they are still young, and it seems hollow for them to talk about love in front of a national audience.

They probably haven't spent as many days together as many long-married couples, so there's nothing to brag about. Therefore, Yu Wei wanted to choose a song that envisions the future.

This song is Yu Wei's favorite type. It doesn't contain any heart-wrenching vows or grand promises. "Growing old with you" is the kind of love he longs for the most.

Especially after learning about the stories of Grandma Qi Luoan and Senior Chen Ping, he became even more convinced of this: being able to stay together until old age is more important than anything else.

"Sounds good."

Qi Luoan stared blankly at the word "romance" on the screen, her eyes sparkling. Did Yu Wei, this rascal, even know what romance was?
Then she really needs to take a good look at what kind of romance the other person imagines...

The wrap party wasn't over yet, but Yu Wei finished writing today's content first. After updating the novel, he remembered something else.

"By the way, when will Yuting arrive?"

His original plan was for Qi Luoan to bring Lin Yuting along so they could look after each other. However, after hearing that Yuting's family planned to accompany them, Qi Luoan came by himself first.

"The next two days, maybe."

Qi Luoan paused for a moment, "Have you thought of a song for Yuting yet? I feel like she has a pretty good chance."

Not only is the chance great, but on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala, Lin Yuting's "flaw" is actually a natural advantage. Although it's not good to always play the sympathy card, people do buy into it.

It is already significant for a visually impaired person to take the stage. Although she was not on the list of invitees, as long as Yu Wei takes her there, her selection is almost guaranteed.

The prerequisite is that the song chosen isn't too bad, but Yu Wei has already decided what she will sing, so there's no need to worry about that.

Previously, Qi Yuan would always rush to ask about his updates immediately, but not this time. These two songs are clearly meant for couples, so asking would be pointless...

Since he had nothing better to do, Yu Wei simply sent Ye Shengyu a message: "I have a method that can help you win the heart of your beloved. Would you like to hear it?"

Ye Shengyu replied almost instantly, telling him to get lost.

"My great-uncle doesn't seem very friendly."

"Nonsense, how could he not be anxious when a junior makes fun of his love life?" Qi Luo'an chuckled, amused. "He probably thought you were joking."

Ye Shengyu genuinely felt that Yu Wei was joking with him. It was no exaggeration to say that he had been pursuing Zhong Qing for forty years and had tried every possible method. What ideas could Yu Wei possibly have?
What do you know at such a young age...?

When Yu Wei asked him if he wanted to sing a duet with Zhong Qing, Ye Shengyu got even angrier. He thought it was some brilliant idea, but it turned out to be nothing special.

They've been colleagues for forty years, and have worked together a great many times, but Zhong Qing keeps her stage and personal life very separate, giving him no chance at all.

Did you think that was all? Not only that, they even sang a song by Chen Ping together. At the time, Chen Ping had the same idea: to help them get to know each other better through their collaboration.

The results of it?
They ended up singing a duet, but Zhong Qing was completely captivated by the song, her mind and attention entirely focused on the lyricist, having nothing to do with her duet partner...

It hurts, it hurts too much!
He lived in Chen Gou's shadow his whole life. Even after Chen Gou died, Zhong Qing still couldn't forget him. He was definitely his lifelong enemy.

"Give it a try. At your age, are you afraid of failure?" Yu Wei didn't know if the song would work, but as he said, at this age, what is there to be afraid of? The important thing is to avoid regrets.

As people get older, many things become unpredictable. If something were to happen to Senior Zhong, he would have nowhere to turn to cry in regret.

"Okay, I'll trust you this once."

Ye Shengyu was in a daze for a while. To be honest, he didn't have high expectations. He had heard Yu Wei's love songs before. They were too new and too popular. Xiao Zhong probably wouldn't like them.

They all came from humble backgrounds and couldn't bear to listen to these fleeting love stories...

After returning from the wrap party, Yu Wei worked through the night to finish the score for "The Boatman's Love," and then called Qi Luoan over to take a look.

"No wonder."

Just like in the novel, this song is simple and unadorned, yet incredibly vivid. If Qi Luoan were to rate it, she would give it a 9.9.

The thought of the elderly couple "swaying affectionately on the bow of a boat" on the Spring Festival Gala made her want to laugh; Yu Wei's move was too ruthless.

"Grandma Zhong should like it."

Qi Luoan's understanding of Zhong Qing was limited to what her grandmother had told her: Zhong Qing loved folk music and mountain songs and had excellent singing skills.

"hope so."

Yu Wei then sent the whole song over. Ye Shengyu was clearly taken aback when he saw the song title: Boatmen. This kid actually knows about this profession.

One responds to another, one goes back and forth.

This song has no complicated harmonies, no profound artistic conception; it's just plain language, the heartfelt words of a farmer shouting out to his beloved girl, his face flushed red.

It took Ye Shengyu a while to react, and he replied to Yu Wei with a flushed face.

"I'll go ask!"

This song is her favorite style, so maybe there's a real chance. Even if it doesn't work out, she still wants to use the identity of a male singer to express her feelings.

"If they really get together, do you think they'll throw a big banquet?" Yu Wei felt somewhat relieved upon seeing the reply. "I think I'll be able to sit in the head seat."

If it really works out, then Yu Wei will indeed have done a great service. Qi Luoan didn't say anything, but suddenly a ridiculous idea popped into his head.

Could it be that the two old people got married before them...?

Well, the elderly really don't have time to waste, so it's not impossible to let them have their way.

While Qi Luoan was lost in thought, Yu Wei had already started writing a new chapter beside him. Time was tight and the task was heavy, so every extra chapter he wrote was a chapter in progress.

"You've been really diligent lately."

"It's almost Chinese New Year, so I'm giving everyone some gifts."

Yu Wei hasn't redeemed the program for several people yet, so naturally she doesn't dare to delay and tries to be fully equipped within three days.

Lin Yuting is good at singing warm and resilient songs. "Invisible Wings" would actually be very suitable for the Spring Festival Gala and would probably be selected if it were given to her, but Yu Wei wants to maximize the popularity.

If you want to promote your own artists, a new song will definitely be the most effective. "Invisible Wings" already has a high level of popularity, so releasing it again would have limited effect.

Therefore, Yu Wei chose a similar song, "Sunshine Always Comes After the Storm," which suited her very well.

In the past, when he was focused on writing, Qi Luoan was too embarrassed to disturb him, but now it's different. Qi Luoan will deliberately touch Yu Wei's body randomly.

She wasn't trying to cause trouble; she simply wanted to touch things, especially places she'd never seen before...

It's amazing how one part can be called an elephant, a turtle, a chick, a goldfish, a caterpillar, and a dragon all at the same time.

Just as Qi Luoan's little hands were getting more and more restless, Ye Shengyu's reply came, and a single "sigh" said it all.

"It shouldn't be."

The two exchanged a glance, and the atmosphere instantly became serious. Could it be that the song had not been approved by the senior artist, Zhong Qing?

She said no.

Ye Shengyu sighed, his feelings very complicated. "She said she already has songs and doesn't need any other works."

Zhong Qing was also invited to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, so it's normal for her to prepare in advance.

Rejecting without even looking?
"Then you should show her, just in case she changes her mind?"

The song selection hasn't even started yet, so the program can be changed. Yu Wei is still very confident in "The Boatman's Love," and believes that this song is no worse than any other work.

"It's no use, this is Chen Gou's song."

Just now, Ye Shengyu ran over to ask with great joy, but Zhong Qing flatly refused, saying that the other party already had a song, and it was a song of great significance, Chen Ping's posthumous work.

The sudden news almost caused his brain to shut down; Ye Shengyu never expected that Zhong Qing would have such a thing.

He didn't care whether the song was good or bad; what he cared about was that even after so many years, he still couldn't compare to her in her heart.

Chen Gou only left a little something behind, yet she made a firm choice. In comparison, my own joyful act of sharing my work just now seemed like a joke.

As expected, he was his lifelong nemesis. It was clearly his best chance, but Chen Gou ruined it all.

"Is there such a thing?"

Yu Wei remained silent for a long time after seeing the reply. He hadn't expected to run into Chen Ping's work again at this critical juncture.

"How could your grandfather be so mean?" (End of Chapter)
