Old Zeng is a middle-aged man in his forties who is always punctual for get off work and has no particular hobbies.
His son, who had just started high school, even thought his father was a robot—rigid and inflexible.
That day, after school, Lao Zeng's son played music in his room.
When he heard the door lock turn and heard Old Zeng's familiar footsteps again, his son didn't pay any attention.
Because usually when his dad comes home, he starts washing vegetables and cooking.
They would wait until the food was fully cooked before knocking on the door to call him.
But today, Old Zeng's son had a strange expression.
He noticed that his father's footsteps stopped as soon as he entered the room.
A moment later, she walked directly towards his room.
When Xiao Zeng looked towards the door, he found that his father had already opened it.
"Dad, is something wrong?"
Zeng asked with a puzzled look.
Something unexpected happened. His father, Old Zeng, nodded and asked, somewhat uncomfortably:
"Um...son, what song are you listening to right now?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zeng's eyes widened, and he said:
"Dad, do you also like listening to this song 'Too Softhearted'?"
It's no wonder Xiao Zeng was surprised, because in his memory, his father seemed to have never listened to any songs.
When he specifically recommended the song to his dad before, his dad complained that it was too noisy and not pleasant to listen to.
I never expected that my own dad would actually ask me what song it was. That's so strange!
Old Zeng, however, had already gotten the answer from his son and nodded:
"So this song is called 'Too Softhearted'? It's so good, really good!"
Actually, Lao Zeng heard someone playing it on his way back, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
When he got home, he was surprised to find his son playing music there, so he couldn't wait to push open the door and ask.
"Dad, this is a new song, sung by a singer named Xu Lu. By the way, he has a few other songs, you should listen to them too?"
Old Zeng nodded.
But after a few minutes, Old Zeng handed the phone to his son and said:
"Son, I don't like the other songs, so could you download this one called 'Too Softhearted' to my phone for me? It's free, right?"
"It's free! Dad, all of this singer's songs are free!"
It's strange, though, but "Too Softhearted" is really a good song.
But I think all the other songs are great too, why do you only like this one?
Zeng asked, puzzled, but still obediently downloaded the song for his dad.
Then life returned to its familiar rhythm. Old Zeng walked into the kitchen with some music on and started washing vegetables and cooking.
...
Old Zeng's case is not an isolated one.
In fact, after its release, the song "Too Softhearted" quickly gained popularity among many middle-aged and elderly people.
Its rhythm is simple and brisk, and it won't be too noisy for older people.
The lyrics are easy to understand and there is no learning barrier at all.
Therefore, the comments section for the song "Too Softhearted" shows a difference from other songs:
"My God! Can you believe it? The song 'Too Softhearted' actually hit my grandpa's sweet spot!"
"Hahaha, I feel the same way. I just downloaded it for my dad, and he loves it."
"That's right, but when I recommended other songs to him, he just shook his head..."
"I have to say, this singer is really something else. He actually gained countless elderly fans with just one song."
"I have a feeling that for a long time to come, 'Too Softhearted' will be a staple song for square dancing!"
...
"Hehe, the kids upstairs can hardly understand our feelings. This song really touched my heart."
"You're wrong! Uncle, we also like 'Too Soft-Hearted' too, okay? Love, you know, who hasn't experienced it before..."
"Hahaha, indeed, whose love isn't full of twists and turns? Foolishly waiting... she won't come back..."
"You should always think about your future... You're always... too soft-hearted... too soft-hearted..."
"Starting today, I'm a fan of this singer named Xu Lu. I heard he's also an actor!"
...
This probably surprised many people.
Among the comments on Xu Lu's five songs, "Too Softhearted" quickly became as popular as "The You of the Past".
The song "Yi Jian Mei" is a clear-cut case of people who either love it or hate it.
As expected, "Too Softhearted" smoothly rose to the top of the hot song charts. After all, this is a song that appeals to all ages, with a huge audience base.
On the other side, the people at Xia Lifei Film and Television were almost depressed after Xu Lu released three more songs.
"Damn it! How did that kid release so many songs all at once? Where did he get all that inspiration?!"
Xiong Tang was so angry that he slapped his thigh repeatedly.
The decision to sideline that kid named Xu Lu was made by him alone; he originally thought it was just a minor matter.
But now he realizes that he seems to have made a very wrong decision.
As that kid named Xu Lu became a sensation in the music industry, and as more of his information became public, so too did his rise to fame.
Some of the company's board members have already taken notice of this artist who left Xia Lifei.
"Damn it! Even after running away, this kid is still restless, and now he's caused such a commotion."
