Get the perfect music system at the start

"You're getting better and better at talking. I'm calling you, but I won't be catching up. I just wanted to ask how the movie we talked about is going?"

Upon hearing this question, Xu Fan replied, "Filming has been completed. The staff at Fanxing Pictures have already started editing. Once it's finished, we'll send a sample copy to the Film Bureau for review."

Kong Zhiyong said, "Hmm, you're pretty fast, kid. I heard you spent a long time in the UK and only just got back, and you've already finished filming your movie?"

Xu Fan said, "Everything went smoothly, so the filming was quite fast."

Kong Zhiyong said, "In that case, I'll get down to business with you."

Hearing this, Xu Fan looked puzzled, but still asked, "I wonder what brings you here, Mr. Kong?"

Kong Zhiyong said, "You know it's almost the end of the year, so..."

Upon hearing this, and combining it with the information the fat man had just mentioned, Xu Fan couldn't help but ask, "You mean the New Year's Eve concert?"

Kong Zhiyong coughed awkwardly and said, "I just asked someone to help me ask. Do you have time?"

Xu Fan felt awkward. He had just been telling the fat man that he wasn't going when Kong Zhiyong's phone rang. But he still said, "Mr. Kong, I want to spend New Year's Eve with my mother."

Kong Zhiyong hadn't expected Xu Fan to refuse, but he still said, "Are you sure you don't want to participate in CCTV's New Year's Eve Gala?"

Xu Fan fell into deep thought. If he had known it was an invitation from CCTV, given Fatty's attitude, he would definitely have asked him to participate, but in essence, he was really unwilling to go.

Just then, Kong Zhiyong said, "There's no need to give me an answer right now. You can think about it first. Anyway, there's still time. The person in charge at CCTV will also communicate with you in detail later. I hope you can reach an agreement then. I'm just a messenger."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, Mr. Kong, thank you."

Kong Zhiyong hung up the phone, but he was still struggling with the decision. However, he soon stopped struggling with it because the damn phone rang again.

Old Zheng called and said he hoped he could come to Yanjing so he could contact him if he needed anything.

Xu Fan asked a few questions, but Old Zheng simply said, "Isn't it okay to just come for a meal?"

If the old man says so, then it's certainly permissible.

Anyway, the plane is fast now, and it's not actually that far, just a few hours' journey, so Xu Fan agreed.

Another reason is that after Chen Yuanyuan separated from him, she and Xia Ziling returned to Yanjing.

Both of them were injured at the time, and he had been away filming for more than ten days, so he really should go and see them.

This can be considered as killing two birds with one stone.

With that in mind, he naturally forgot about whether or not to participate in the New Year's Eve gala. He would wait until he got to Mr. Zheng's house and ask him what he thought, which might give him a better choice or answer.

Having made up his mind, Xu Fan quickly packed his things but didn't rush off.

Anyway, Old Zheng didn't say he was in a hurry.

His mother went for a walk in the neighborhood. After checking the time, he made lunch and ate with his mother before going to the airport to check in for his flight to Yanjing.

The sky was as beautiful as ever. During the flight, Xu Fan would occasionally look out at the sky, sometimes close his eyes and daze for a while, and sometimes read the newspaper to pass the time.

When he arrived in Yanjing, it was already close to four in the afternoon. Without hesitation, he took a taxi straight to the house of Old Zheng, which he remembered.

The doorbell rang several times before it was opened. Xu Fan was slightly taken aback when he saw Chen Yuanyuan wearing pajamas. He hadn't expected Chen Yuanyuan to be at Old Zheng's house.

When I saw Chen Yuanyuan again, her complexion was rosy and she seemed to have recovered well. At least she didn't look too sick. It was obvious that Grandma Tao had stewed a few more bowls of chicken soup for her.

Before Xu Fan could speak, Chen Yuanyuan smiled calmly and said in a very calm tone, "You've come?"

Xu Fan nodded, glanced at the empty room with a puzzled look, and asked, "Where did Grandpa Zheng and Grandma Tao go?"

Chen Yuanyuan took the things from Xu Fan's hands and said, "They just went out not long ago, they'll be back in a bit, please have a seat."

Xu Fan nodded and asked, "Are you feeling any better?"

Chen Yuanyuan said earnestly, "It's all fine now. Look, I'm perfectly fine."

Xu Fan nodded in relief, but asked with a puzzled look, "Why do you always stay at Grandpa Zheng's house?"

Chen Yuanyuan glared at Xu Fan and said, "Can't I stay at my maternal grandfather's house?"

"Yes!" Xu Fan didn't refute it, but was just a little curious.

He discovered that Chen Yuanyuan seemed to have a very good relationship with his maternal grandparents, but he had never met Chen Yuanyuan's parents.

Chen Yuanyuan nodded, poured Xu Fan a glass of water, and asked, "What brings you to Yanjing?"

Xu Fan shrugged and said, "Your grandfather asked me to come."

Chen Yuanyuan said "Oh," and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "I ate on the way here, so I'm not hungry. Please sit down, don't just stand there like an idiot."

Chen Yuanyuan hummed in agreement and sat down beside her.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange; for some reason, it fell silent abruptly.

Xu Fan wanted to find something to talk about, but he didn't know what to say. Chen Yuanyuan sat there in silence.

An alarm clock in the room ticked away, second by second, the only sound in the silent air being the ticking of the second hand.

The location of Grandpa Zheng's house is very quiet; there is no noise even with the windows open.

Just then, Chen Yuanyuan's phone rang.

"Keep your head down, await the daylight, accept all the ridicule, face the wind, embrace the rainbow, and bravely walk forward to the light of dawn."

Chen Yuanyuan said somewhat shyly, "I need to take this call."

Xu Fan smiled and nodded, watching Chen Yuanyuan hum in agreement several times before hanging up the phone.

Chen Yuanyuan looked at Xu Fan and said, "Um, Grandpa said he and Grandma aren't coming back, so we'll have to cook dinner ourselves. He wants you to stay here tonight."

Chen Yuanyuan suddenly didn't know what to say, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "There are rooms upstairs. Grandpa and Grandma will be back tomorrow."

===Chapter 374 Can You Play the Flute?===

Xu Fan stood there, stunned.

The old man called him over to say he had something to discuss, but when he arrived, only Chen Yuanyuan was there.

I thought the old man would be back soon, but now it seems he's not coming back.

Why does something always feel off?

Chen Yuanyuan was also quite embarrassed; she really didn't know how to say those words.

In the end, all we could say was that there were rooms upstairs, but Grandpa and Grandma weren't coming back.

She felt awkward when she said such stiff words, but she couldn't find any other words.

Logically speaking, the two shouldn't have such an awkward relationship, but the key is that Chen Yuanyuan took a bullet for Xu Fan, and both of them inexplicably felt a different kind of emotion deep inside.

So when this news came out, I felt inexplicably uneasy.

After all, Xu Fan was summoned by Old Zheng.

But now Mr. Zheng has left home with his wife and won't be coming back tonight, leaving the two of them alone. What does this mean?

Xu Fan's silence made Chen Yuanyuan even more embarrassed, but fortunately Xu Fan knew he had to speak.

He nodded and said, "That will work."

This was his response to Chen Yuanyuan's earlier question. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are you hungry?"

Chen Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "No, what about you?"

Xu Fan was taken aback, then smiled and said, "You asked me that question just now."

"Oh!" Chen Yuanyuan nodded, stood up and said, "By the way, do you remember the villa complex we went to last time?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Of course I remember, there were many musical instruments there."

Chen Yuanyuan turned to Xu Fan and asked, "Do you want to go there?"

Xu Fan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Now?"

Chen Yuanyuan nodded seriously and said, "Yes, are you going or not?"

Xu Fan stood up and said, "No problem, let's go."

Without a word, the two of them left without packing anything. Xu Fan went straight out the door, while Chen Yuanyuan casually grabbed the keys.

The prosperity of Yanjing city is always reflected in the colors of neon lights, lively and bustling.

Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan did not take a taxi. Instead, Chen Yuanyuan drove her own car, taking Xu Fan straight to the villa area.

No matter how nice the city was, the two of them didn't even glance at it.

The world is bustling and prosperous, yet I have no desire to disturb it.

The villa area was very quiet. After parking the car, Chen Yuanyuan and the two of them went to the villa that her father had bought for her again.

In winter, Beijing gets dark late, and the city lights twinkle, a stark contrast to the somewhat dimly lit villa areas.

The area outside the villa was quiet, but it didn't feel lonely or frightening; instead, it easily calmed the mind.

Open the door and go upstairs.

This villa is a three-story building with a basement. Chen Yuanyuan turned on the light and said, "Although I don't come here very often, it is still cleaned regularly."

Xu Fan said, "No wonder this place is always so clean."

As Chen Yuanyuan turned on the light, she said, "Do you remember what I told you before? The music base downstairs in the villa, all the music equipment was arranged by a friend who asked me to help her."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "I remember, you also said that your friend really likes music."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said with a smile, "Moreover, she really likes your music."

Xu Fan was taken aback, thought for a moment, and asked curiously, "Do I know her?"

Chen Yuanyuan said, "I sent her a message. She should be here soon. You'll know then."

Xu Fan shrugged helplessly, but didn't ask any more questions. The two went down the stairs, and what came into view was still all kinds of musical instruments, including guitars, pianos, violins, drum kits, and so on.

Chen Yuanyuan said, "How about we play the piano or guitar or something?"

Xu Fan said with a smile, "Did you bring me here on purpose to sing for you?"

Chen Yuanyuan's round eyes lit up as she smiled and said, "You sang a cappella last time, so I'd like to hear what it's like with accompaniment."

Xu Fan paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! Then I'll use the piano."

Without further ado, Xu Fan walked directly to the piano, glanced at Chen Yuanyuan, and said, "Would you like to find a place to sit down?"
