The call was from Zhou Xianzu.

CCTV executives were very satisfied with the sample footage of A Bite of China and hoped to see the finished product of the first quarter as soon as possible.

As the head of the documentary channel, Zhou Xianzu was naturally very happy. After the first season of "A Bite of China" was recorded, he immediately called Lu Yuan impatiently. He really hoped that Lu Yuan could take the time to record the rest of the content all at once.

Lu Yuan naturally had no doubts about this. After all, he was the one who signed the recording contract, so he agreed without saying a word.

but……

When he was about to hang up the phone, Zhou Xianzu suddenly gave Lu Yuan a mysterious instruction, asking him to dress up nicely when he went over, saying that there was good news.

Good thing?

What good news?

When Lu Yuan recalled Zhou Xianzu's extremely mysterious tone, he didn't understand at first, but the next moment Lu Yuan was shocked.

He vaguely remembered that Zhou Xianzu seemed to want to introduce his cousin to him before.

Zhou Xianzu's cousin...

When Lu Yuan thought of Zhou Xianzu's age, he felt a suffocating feeling surge up from the depths of his heart...

Lu Yuan felt that his heart really couldn't bear this sudden blow.

He could imagine what Zhou Xianzu's cousin looked like.

It must be...

A beautiful look that shows that one has worked twenty years less, no, thirty years less.

Lu Yuan swallowed subconsciously.

The scene was so beautiful that Lu Yuan felt like he was having a nightmare...

no!

Must reject!

Damn it!

must!

Lu Yuan was quite determined.

Not to mention that he has found a girlfriend now, even if he didn't have a girlfriend before and was poor, Lu Yuan would never go down this path just for money...

At least……

He is a man with bottom line and dignity.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this phone?"

"No, no problem..."

"Well, your expression..."

"Maybe I'm a little tired. By the way, Uncle Wang, let's get started..."

"Now?"

"Um……"

…

Hangzhou.

After Chen Ming dealt with some issues at the Newbuck company, he rubbed his eyes.

She looked around the hall and suddenly felt empty.

But it's pretty good.

At least she couldn't smell the smoke.

In fact, she really hates men who smoke.

When I knew Wang Yaohua before, he was still a polite and modest gentleman, and I had never seen him smoking.

Later, after getting married, she realized that her husband was indeed a gentleman, but he was actually a chain-smoking man.

He could hold back for a month after getting married, but a month later, Wang Yaohua couldn't help it anymore and started smoking secretly.

She could still bear it when she did it secretly.

However, as time went by, "Newback" suits became more and more popular. After more than ten years, it gradually became a first-class clothing brand in China. Wang Yaohua began to smoke openly. She could tolerate it in the living room, but there were several times in the early morning when she was still asleep. Wang Yaohua lit a cigarette, which made her feel like she was in a fire and inhaled a lot of secondhand smoke...

She finally couldn't stand it anymore.

For the first time, she kicked Wang Yaohua off the bed, making him fall flat on his face. At the same time, she sternly warned Wang Yaohua to quit smoking, or at least not to smoke at home!

In fact, she just hoped that he could reflect on himself, but she didn't expect that he would never change this bad habit...

Moreover, I still do what I want...

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore.

After moving from Yanjing to Hangzhou, she had been separated from Wang Yaohua for nearly one or two years. Unexpectedly, Wang Yaohua followed her without saying a word after finishing his work in Yanjing. He even moved the company's branch to Hangzhou and actually quit smoking for a day or two.

At first, she was actually quite happy to see Wang Yaohua doing this. At least, he couldn't leave her...

Finally, I was able to quit smoking for her.

But……

Just one or two days later, Wang Yaohua started smoking again.

This time, she was really angry.

Although they were nominally separated in the past, they still kept in touch through phone calls, text messages, and occasional contact. But this time, she didn't want to answer Wang Yaohua's calls at all, even if her daughter Wang Jinxue and son Wang Hao came to intercede.

Yes!

That's what she decided.

evening.

The sunset is beautiful.

Chen Ming walked out to the balcony, looked at the sunset in the distance, and nodded slightly.

Just at this moment, her cell phone rang again.

After checking my phone, I saw that it was Wang Jinxue calling.

She hesitated for a moment and then answered the phone.

"Hello……"

"mom……"

"If you're here to plead for your dad, forget it... Don't tell me about smoking..."

"Mom, that's not what I meant. I meant can you watch a video? This video is not long, but I think it's quite sincere."

"video?"

"Yes."

"Okay, send it over here...it's not your dad's apology video, is it?"

"I guess so, but it's not really an apology video... it's just a song, very affectionate..."

"Um?"

…

"I wrote you a letter and there was no response.

You even turned off your phone.

I can't find you where are you?

It’s been a long time since I heard from you or heard from you…”

In the video.

Chen Ming watched Wang Yaohua holding the microphone and singing a song at the center of the video, with a young man playing the guitar next to him.

Chen Ming frowned.

What is Wang Yaohua up to again?

Singing...

That sounds really bad.

Wang Yaohua is quite good in business, but when it comes to singing...

It's simply fatal.

Not only did he have a hoarse voice, but he couldn't sing a song without being out of tune.

Chen Ming still remembers clearly what happened that night many years ago.

This song starts with a broken voice, which is really disgusting to the ears...

"Is he going to disgust me to death?"

Chen Ming shook his head and prepared to turn off the video.

However, just as I was about to turn it off, the song slowly started to change again...

Wang Yaohua stared at the center of the video affectionately...

"Write your name on the cigarette and breathe it into your lungs

Keep you closest to my heart

No need to worry about losing contact with you anymore

We will be together forever..."

When it came to the climax of a song, Chen Ming was a little stunned.

Although it was still the familiar hoarse voice, and although it still felt a little off, but...

He sang with deep emotion and earnestness.

She could tell that he was really singing with all his heart.

although……

The singing is terrible...

"Write your name on the cigarette and breathe it into your lungs

Let you stay at the closest distance to my heart

Even if you cut off contact with me in the next life

But I will still remember you..."

When Chen Ming heard this, he shook his head.

Her heart was somewhat touched.

"You are an old couple, and you are still imitating the young people to play this trick... You..."

"Oh...how shameless!"

…

"Mom, how is it?"

"The one playing the guitar is your boyfriend Lu Yuan, right?"

"yes!"

"It does look quite sincere. He wrote this song, didn't he? Not only did he write it, but he also taught your father how to sing it, and he must have taught him word for word."

"Ah...Mom, how did you know..."

"It's really hard for Lu Yuan. How should I know? Haha, your dad is a tune-deaf person. Others can learn a song easily, but he needs at least a long time to learn it. Moreover, he has to be taught and corrected sentence by sentence before he can barely sing it correctly..."

"Well, yes, this was first written by Lu Yuan based on his father's feelings for you..."

"Haha, Jinxue, Mom is an experienced person. You guys can't cheat me even if you team up..."

"We didn't lie to you."

"Haha, Jinxue..."

"What?"

In the office.

Wang Jinxue listened to her mother's thoughtful voice on the phone with confusion.

This song is really touching.

But her mother was not moved by the song as she had imagined, but was skeptical.

What does this mean?

"How much do you know about Lu Yuan?"

"Me? Mom, why do you ask that question?"

"This song is very affectionate, but your dad isn't the type to speak his mind, you know?"

"mom?"

"Lu Yuan used to smoke, too. I've never met him, but I heard that he was a heavy smoker. At his peak, he was even heavier than your father..."

"Uh, yes, he used to smoke, but now he doesn't smoke much..."

"Have you ever thought that he didn't write this song for your dad? Or that, combined with your dad's story, he has his own story?"

"ah?"

"Maybe, the girl in the story is you, maybe not you..."

“…”

Wang Jinxue hung up the phone.

I felt a little weird after hearing those two words from my mother.

Then he left the office quietly...

She heard Lu Yuan instilling the idea of ​​quitting smoking in her father in the conference room...

"Uncle...'I'll Find You in My Next Life' is pretty good. How about we sing another one?"

"Come again? I really can't sing anymore..."

"Let's sing a song called 'I want to quit smoking for you'..."

"Quit smoking? No! I don't want to quit smoking!"

"Be a little more serious. Well, let's express our intentions first and try to get Auntie's approval first... As for quitting smoking, it won't happen overnight... Besides, I think this song is much more interesting..."

"Um?"

Wang Jinxue listened silently.

Then, Lu Yuan's voice came from the conference room.

Lu Yuan played the guitar.

Then……

"I'd change for you...

Quit smoking for you

So that you can never say sorry again

I want you to believe forever

Believe in the oath

I believe that tomorrow’s happiness will come true…”

Lu Yuan's voice was very affectionate, as if he was telling a story.

He is singing with his soul.

seem……

Singing my own song.

Very serious, very serious.

When Wang Jinxue heard this, she suddenly remembered the scenes of her acquaintance with Lu Yuan...

He used to...

He was really a heavy smoker.

but……

After getting to know himself, Lu Yuan seemed to be really trying to quit smoking.

From several packs a day before, then slowly became less, and now...

I basically don't smoke anymore.

Maybe……

The first song isn’t my story, maybe I was never involved in it.

But this song...

This should be my story, right?

he……

Is it because I quit smoking?

When Wang Jinxue thought of this, her originally regretful mood was suddenly filled with happiness.

…

"I won't go, even if I die!"

"Be obedient... I heard that the boy your cousin likes is very talented, beyond your imagination..."

"Talent? Mom, do you know what talent is? If you meet that person, you will know what talent is!"

"Don't hide it. The person your cousin is talking about is definitely more talented than the one you are talking about... I believe in his judgment!"

"That person is Lu Yuan!"

"Lu Yuan? Who is Lu Yuan?"

"Mom, don't you know Lu Yuan?"

"I don't know him. Anyway, I don't care what Lu Yuan is like, you have to go in the middle of this month!"

"I'm not going!"

"This is not your call. Now that I'm back from the United States, you don't have to worry about the company anymore!"

"Mom, you don't even know Lu Yuan, how can you manage the entertainment company?"

"???"
