Huayu: Starting with binding the front desk
Chapter 49, "Grandma's Bridge," Reminiscences and Conflicts
Wang's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them twice, his tone tinged with suspicion: "What were you two doing just now?"
Wang Zhe shrugged casually, his expression having returned to normal: "What else can I do? Just like you, I got bullied."
Before Wang Churan could ask anything else, Zhang Jingyi stood up, walked to Wang Zhe's side, and kicked him in the shin again.
After kicking Wang Zhe, she ignored the two of them and went straight back to her room.
Wang Zhe feigned pain and bent over, while Wang Cairan frowned and asked, "How did you bully her?"
She always felt that it wasn't as simple as "being bullied" as it seemed; it was more like the two of them were bickering.
Wang Zhe straightened up, put his arm around her shoulder, and pretended to flick her forehead again: "Is this how you bully me..."
"Wang Zhe! Don't bully Chu Ran anymore!" Grandma's voice came from over.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wang Cheran struggled to get up, and Wang Zhe pulled her onto the sofa, and the two of them fell down together.
Wang trembled as she lay on top of him, in a strangely ambiguous position.
Wang Zhe shrugged and looked at Wang Cheran, explaining, "The situation just now was the same as it is now."
Grandma walked up to him and, without saying a word, grabbed Wang Zhe's right ear and twisted it.
"You're bullying people as soon as you get home?"
This technique is exactly the same as Xu Ying's.
Wang Zhe sighed inwardly; his mother's skill was indeed a family tradition.
"Grandma, I didn't bully her..."
Wang slowly got up and watched the scene with a smile.
She knew Wang Zhe was lying to her, but at least he was willing to lie to her.
If he doesn't even bother to lie, then he truly only sees her as a sister.
In the guest room, Zhang Jingyi buried her face in the pillow as soon as she entered the room, only turning over when she felt suffocated.
He muttered to himself, "That damn Wang Zhe, that stinky Wang Zhe, ugh, what a scumbag..."
She has figured everything out.
Wang Zhe not only likes himself, but also likes Wang Churan.
He and Tian Xiwei may have already decided something even earlier.
What happened that night may not have gone all the way, but it certainly wasn't just about playing video games.
At that moment, her heart was churning violently, and she wanted to leave and never speak to him again.
But the thought of leaving Wang Zhe left her feeling empty inside, as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out.
She had embarked on this path because of him, and he had always been helping her. She owed him so much.
Just as she was thinking that she should sign with Dong Shen and stay far away from him, and repay him slowly in the future,
Wang timidly pushed open the door and poked half her body in, calling out in a clear voice, "Jingyi, dinner's ready."
At the dinner table, Zhang Jingyi showed no unusual behavior.
But Wang Zhe still sensed that her heart was in turmoil.
"Little Blackie, come back to Beijing with me this time and sign the contract."
Zhang Jingyi's hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to shake her head.
Wang Zhe didn't give her a chance to speak, his tone calm and unhurried, but his attitude firm: "Don't you already know the reason? Are you going to back out?"
Zhang Jingyi looked up and met his gaze. Seeing his unyielding eyes, she finally nodded gently.
She didn't know why, but it seemed like she had never learned to say no to this person.
It's been like this ever since that day he dragged me to the broadcasting room.
He made me sign with Dong Shen, and although I was unhappy about it, I still listened to him. Now he's making me sign with Qing He, and even though I know the reason and want to stay away from him, I still want to follow him deep down.
Wang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her nod. He was really afraid that this girl would act impulsively and go to Zhou Xun to sign the contract.
"We're eating! What are you two doing, exchanging glances like that!" Wang Cheran interrupted them directly, her heart heavy with unhappiness.
How come everyone makes a move so quickly? Let's not even talk about Tian Dabing, how come Zhang Jingyi, who only knows how to have a crush, has also made a move!
After dinner, Wang Churan and Zhang Jingyi went to see Xiao Wangyi together.
Wang Zhe watched his grandmother clearing the dishes by herself. She was still the same as always. Even though she had a nanny, she still habitually found something to do. Perhaps this was the diligence of the older generation.
His grandmother now has gray hairs at her temples, and his nose suddenly felt a little sore.
From the age of one to six, I basically lived with my maternal grandmother. In my previous life, I went abroad and when I returned, my grandmother was no longer alive.
"Grandma, how about I sing you a song?"
"Sing if you want, but I don't understand your love songs." Grandma looked at him with a smile.
"It's not that kind of song. I'll go get my guitar, and you'll see when you hear it."
When Wang Zhe returned with his guitar, there was no longer just his grandmother in the living room.
Wang Churan and Zhang Jingyi arrived at some point, while the nanny stood to the side holding little Wang Yi.
The little one had just finished drinking milk and was full of energy. His bright black eyes darted around, and he was babbling something unintelligible.
"Why are you all here?" Wang Zhe was taken aback.
"Listen to the song, hurry up! Is it a new song again?" Wang Cherished, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, her face full of anticipation.
"It's not a new song. The arrangement uses the melody of a cherry blossom song, with lyrics written by a Chinese netizen. It's called 'Grandma's Bridge,' which I heard online."
"I think I heard this song back when I was taking the art college entrance exam," Zhang Jingyi added.
Wang Zhe nodded: "It was indeed launched around that time."
Wang urged nervously, "Then hurry up and sing! Grandma's waiting."
Grandma smiled and patted Wang Cheran's hair. She didn't urge him, but her eyes were full of expectation as she looked at Wang Zhe.
After all, it was a song sung to her by her grandson.
Wang Zhe tuned his guitar, his fingers plucked the strings, and a quiet prelude filled the living room.
When he spoke, his voice was softer than usual, carrying an indescribable gentleness.
"Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye~ After the Spring Equinox, it's time to go to Grandma's house."
I've been waiting and waiting~ Grandma, Grandma, calling out sweetly...
Noisy, noisy~ Rice candy stuck to the corners of my mouth, I'm never full
So beautiful~ Her little feet are so high and straight...
As the last note faded, Wang Cherish was the first to clap.
Little Wang Yi was giggling in the nanny's arms, gesturing wildly with her little hands and feet, it was hard to tell if she really understood.
Grandma smiled, reached out and took the little one from the nanny's arms, gently patting her back: "It seems our little darling also likes the songs her brother sings."
Zhang Jingyi asked, "Are you going to sing this song in the next episode of 'The Coming One'? Aren't you going to sing an original song?"
Wang Zhe shook his head: "It's still an original song, also written for my grandmother."
"Then sing now," Wang Churan urged immediately.
Wang Zhe kept everyone in suspense: "What's the rush? It's not written for you. Listen to it in the next episode. Grandma didn't say anything."
Wang scoffed, thought for a moment, and then settled for second best, saying, "How about singing 'From Now On'? Although you wrote it, I haven't heard you sing it yet!"
Wang Zhe thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"From Now On" was the theme song he wrote for the movie "Sweet Sixteen" in 2016, but the production company insisted on having Kris Wu sing it.
At the time, Kris Wu was not only the lead actor in the movie, but his fame and number of fans also far surpassed Wang Zhe's.
Wang Zhe didn't object, because the other party offered too much. Even without a buyout, it would still be 150 million. All they wanted was the title of original singer for Chris Wu, while the copyright would remain in his hands.
But when the song surpassed one million plays and topped multiple music charts within just half an hour of its release.
"Zheergen" believes that Wang Zhe's songwriting skills supported the song, allowing Toothpick Wu to benefit from it.
"Megni" believes that it was her brother's superb singing and top-tier fame that brought the song to a height that it did not deserve.
Wang Zhe is nothing but a clown trying to ride on Yang Yang's popularity by starring in "The Whirlwind Girl," trying to piggyback on the fame of TFBOYS, and even calling himself one of the "Four Big and Four Little" members. Now he's even trying to piggyback on his own brother's fame by directly attacking him.
And so, the two fan groups engaged in a full week of online flame wars.
And to this day, "Dzergen" and "Megni" are still putting each other down.
Wang Zhe, holding a guitar, sang a cappella without any intro.
"I'll never find that feeling again."
You are etched in my heart...
After singing the last line, Wang Churan gave a soft hum and said seriously, "You sang better. That Wu Moumou is a circle."
Zhang Jingyi didn't say anything, but she nodded in agreement. In her heart, Wang Zhe always sang better.
Wang Zhe put down his guitar, looked at Wang Chairan, and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of this song?"
"It's nothing, I just got angrier and angrier when I saw his fans attacking you on Weibo."
Wang Cherish curled his lip: "When are you going to record a full version and release it? Anyway, we own the copyright."
"Let's talk about it later! I really don't have time right now..."
Wang Zhe gave a casual reply, but after being reminded by Wang Cheran, he thought of Wu's "Night Raid on the North American Rankings," which could be put to use.
Wang Zhe shrugged casually, his expression having returned to normal: "What else can I do? Just like you, I got bullied."
Before Wang Churan could ask anything else, Zhang Jingyi stood up, walked to Wang Zhe's side, and kicked him in the shin again.
After kicking Wang Zhe, she ignored the two of them and went straight back to her room.
Wang Zhe feigned pain and bent over, while Wang Cairan frowned and asked, "How did you bully her?"
