The children surrounded Xu Fan as he played the piano.

Li Xiaoran sat next to Xu Fan and began to sing along with the piano melody.

Xu Fan sang a line, and the children sang along. Li Xiaoran also learned along with the children; she simply thought the song was beautiful.

Innocent and carefree children have a special love for music.

Most children like to shout a few words casually when they are young.

But in Xu Fan's view, every single one of the children beside him sang very earnestly.

Perhaps it's because of the song's emotions and melody, or perhaps it's because they've had some different experiences in the past.

Perhaps it's because the song portrays the ordinariness as truly ordinary, or perhaps it's because they only want ordinariness in both their dreams and reality.

So they learned very quickly. It wasn't exactly beautiful, but the melody was really spot on.

Zhao Feiyang was stunned. Xu Fan and a group of children sang the song in a unique way.

That simple, unpretentious feeling can be clearly seen in these innocent children.

Those simple words and melodies made these children sing them exceptionally well.

Xu Fan, wearing black-rimmed glasses, stopped talking and quietly played the piano.

Li Xiaoran led the singing of the first line.

"Perhaps it was far away, or yesterday, here or on the other side."

Duck Egg was the oldest one. She stood next to Li Xiaoran and sang the next line. After she finished speaking, Bean Sprout smiled and sang another line.

And so it went, one person saying one sentence at a time.

Everyone started singing the same song together.

Xu Fan played the piano quietly, the melody flowing from his fingertips, while the beautiful singing filled the air.

Everyone sings together:

"Whether in the crowd or at the ends of the earth, let me see your face clearly again."

Tears welled in her eyes, though she remained silent, her face streaked with tears.

I don't need the halo of a god, I just want your ordinariness.

This heart has no regrets in this life. The flame of life has been ignited.

Xu Fan's piano playing gradually stopped, and he swayed his head along with the melody, completely absorbed in the music. The children sang along with the melody.

As the song ended, Douya'er's tears flowed again, but each time they fell, she would wipe them away herself.

Xu Fan stood up, patted the heads of the children beside him, and praised them, "You sang really well."

The fat man put down his phone and started clapping.

What just happened was quite touching, but I have to say this song is really good.

Xu Fan was well aware of the song's success in the parallel world.

A song that became popular nationwide because of a movie was later selected as the end theme song for a documentary during a major epidemic.

This song embodies the ordinariness and courage of ordinary people.

The emotion of being born ordinary yet fearless can be felt in everyone's mind, but the cruelty of it all shows that ordinariness and resentment can sometimes only remain in songs.

The boss applauded continuously, saying happily, "That sounds wonderful."

Xu Fan checked the time and said to the children, "Alright, kids, we have class tomorrow, let's go back and rest, okay?"

The children replied earnestly, "Okay!"

Xu Fan then said, "Thank you, Uncle, for providing us with the venue and instruments so we can learn the songs."

The children then earnestly thanked the owner and bowed.

The bows may not have been perfectly synchronized, but the children's hearts were filled with gratitude.

Zhao Feiyang, with his obese figure, walked up to the boss and said, "Thanks for tonight."

For some reason, the fat man felt that this young boss was somewhat to his liking, so he made a special effort to greet him.

The boss shook his head, saying it wasn't a big deal.

Just then, a few chattering sounds came from inside, and then the door to the room was pushed open.

"Be careful, if the door opens and the boss finds out, we're doomed."

"Don't push! Brother Fan has already finished singing, why are you still pushing?"

"Anyway, I recorded it. I've already posted the video of Fan Ge and the kids singing on Douyin. It's really so good."

"Hey! Don't push! The door's open."

The door was indeed inspected.

The moment the door opened, everyone was stunned.

Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang looked at each other, then simultaneously turned to look at their boss.

The boss wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground. He had just said it wasn't a big deal when his employees rushed in.

He was about to explain that his employees were all disciplined and organized.

The employees then said in a very organized and disciplined manner, "Excuse me, you've come to the wrong door. Please continue."

After he finished speaking, everyone stared intently at Xu Fan before slowly retreating.

Li Xiaoran couldn't help but ask, "Were they eavesdropping just now?"

Douya said from the side, "I really want to hear them say that they posted our singing video on Douyin. Teacher Xiaoran, what is Douyin?"

Get the perfect music system at the start

===Chapter 179 The Child Became Famous===

Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang looked at each other in bewilderment.

The room was very quiet, except for the waiters nervously pushing and shoving each other to back away.

Li Xiaoran and the children couldn't help but look at the group of waiters in uniforms and aprons, feeling somewhat at a loss.

The boss covered his face, feeling very embarrassed, but at that moment he knew he had to say something.

So he said, "If you don't work properly, you'll get your salary docked."

The waiters ignored them and pushed the people next to them back away.

The boss said awkwardly, "They just said it looked like you, so I went to check, but I didn't expect them..."

As the door creaked shut, Zhao Feiyang said, "Luckily, it wasn't the guests who saw it."

Zhao Feiyang was indeed a little frightened. He had just experienced the siege at West Lake, and if he were to encounter the hot pot restaurant incident in Chengdu, it would be really awkward.

It seems that it won't be so easy for Xu Fan to go out in the future.

You know, there are all sorts of opinions online these days, and fans from all over the country are calling for Xu Fan to come to their respective cities.

If Chengdu fans knew this news, the doorstep of the hot pot restaurant would be swarmed with people.

The boss silently took out his phone and glanced at it, then cautiously said, "How about we go out first?"

This wasn't meant to send the guest away, but rather to consider Xu Fan's feelings, because he had just seen his employees spread the news that Xu Fan was at their hot pot restaurant.

A post on Weibo titled "Xu Fan and the children" suddenly went viral.

Along with this came Xu Fan's new song, which was surprisingly sung by a group of children.

On Douyin, fans within a 50-kilometer radius of the city are guaranteed to see Xu Fan if they browse the Douyin app.

So the boss started to get restless.

He wasn't worried about his hot pot restaurant's doorstep being overrun with customers, but rather that Xu Fan would be stuck in the hot pot restaurant again, just like a few days ago.

Zhao Feiyang also said worriedly, "I think we should leave too. If we want to sing together in the future, we'll have to do it secretly by ourselves."

Li Xiaoran said, "Singing is meant to be heard by others."

Zhao Feiyang stared at Li Xiaoran and said, "You've gotten a bit cheeky these past few days. Am I not human?"

Bean Sprout walked over, took Xu Fan's hand, and whispered, "Shouldn't we hurry up and leave?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

The boss packed up quickly and hurriedly escorted Sanrenhe and the children downstairs.

Zhao Feiyang was about to pay the bill, but the shop owner refused.

Xu Fan and the children left the hot pot restaurant and hurriedly returned to the hotel.

The boss watched Xu Fan leave, a smile creeping onto his lips.

He's a businessman, so of course he can do the math.

A hot pot meal costing less than a thousand yuan might have a greater advertising effect than one costing hundreds of thousands. He couldn't help but glance at the sudden increase in the number of people at the hot pot restaurant.

I've already made up my mind that tonight, whoever posts a video of Xu Fan at the hot pot restaurant, or even just a message, will receive a reward.

That was absolutely brilliant!

He himself hadn't expected this method, and his mind was completely focused on chatting with Xu Fan.

So he decided he had to tell a good story about this quick-witted waiter.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan took the children back to the hotel.

Online, the topic of Xu Fan's "Broken Bridge and Lingering Snow" in Hangzhou has not yet subsided.

A new topic emerged on Weibo.

"Are there people who cry when they listen to a song?"

"I'm clearly a kind person. I give money to beggars, accept flyers from part-time workers, give up my seat to the elderly and pregnant women on the bus, and say thank you for everything. But the hardships of life haven't spared me a single bit. What I really want is very simple; I just want this simple ordinariness."

"The children's singing brought me to tears; their pure voices and simple emotions. The children's innocent and heartfelt emotional investment truly gave the song a soul."

"Fan Ge is truly amazing! He wrote such a beautiful song and guided a group of ordinary kids to such extraordinary heights! A salute to Fan Ge! He uses such a pure voice to purify this restless world!"

"Xu Fan and the children, his beautiful voice has completely won me over. This world is actually very simple and ordinary."
