Chapter 96 Paper Airplanes of Childhood



In the office of Banana Media Company in Xiashan Town.

Doll Sister, Stephen Chow, Hua Disheng, and Zhan Chengwen all looked at Hou Wenjie, who was sitting at the head of the table.

Zhan Chengwen's legendary performance completely stunned them. This kind of shock could not be compared to a short film, a creative idea, or a flirtatious remark.

Hou Wenjie led them over mountains that were once insurmountable for them.

Ye Huaimin's essays once appeared in the essay excerpts in their study materials, and Qin Yiku's articles even appeared in their literature textbooks.

Such figures should be relegated to the clouds.

But now they've brought it down.

They were all incredibly excited, and their admiration for this boss bordered on worship.

They knew that their fate had been rewritten.

Hou Wenjie looked at the four of them and said, "Because of your huge traffic, I have already taken out a loan from the bank. In the future, we will have a more professional team."

We'll have a professional finance team, a professional legal team, a professional filming team, and a professional e-commerce team—everything you need will be ready soon!

Banana Media's growth is unstoppable.

As I promised, you can go back and carefully review the contract yourselves.

I believe that as long as we work together, everyone's future will be bright.

Wang Bin has recently become increasingly obsessed with watching videos of beautiful women.

Of course, his favorite is still the doll sister.

Unfortunately, the doll sister's videos are not updated very frequently.

Aside from the first "sharp dog" video, there was only the supermarket rocking horse video updated a few days ago.

To be honest, after watching that video of him riding a rocking horse, he felt shocked for a whole year.

He felt that he hadn't seen what peak beauty really meant until he watched this video.

Those bright eyes, her perfectly delicate face, and the curves that swayed with the rocking horse made Wang Bin unable to resist.

Wang Bin even fantasized about riding a rocking horse with the doll-like sister, the two of them sitting facing each other...

Today, I dragged my tired body back to my studio apartment, took out my phone, and saw the notification above.

The user you are following has just posted a video.

Wang Bin clicked on Douyin (TikTok), and sure enough, it was Doll Sister who had posted a new video.

The video is titled "Fragrance of Rice".

When you open the video, you'll see Wang Bin lying on the sofa in the most comfortable position.

The video opens with the doll sister appearing on a country road.

On both sides of the path, there are rice paddies, and the rice ears in the fields have begun to turn yellow.

A long ditch runs north to south, while a path twists and turns from east to west.

A beautiful melody began to play.

The afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky and fell upon people.

The doll-like older sister was still dressed simply in the sunset: a white shirt, black trousers, and white sneakers.

As the screen displayed [Lyrics/Music: Jay Chou] [Singer: Doll Sister]

As the music played, Wang Bin heard the doll sister's singing voice for the first time.

If you have too many complaints about this world

If you fall, you won't dare to keep going.

Why are people so fragile and depraved?

Please turn on the TV and take a look.

Countless people are bravely striving to keep going for their lives.

Shouldn't we be content?

Cherish everything, even if you don't possess it.

I remember you said home is the only castle

As the rice-scented river continues its journey

I know the dreams I had as a child.

Don't cry, let the fireflies carry you away.

Country folk songs are an eternal reliance

Let's go home and return to the beauty of the beginning.

As Wang Bin listened to the doll sister's sweet singing voice and the chirping of insects during the interlude, a strange emotion suddenly welled up inside him.

Originally, he only treated the doll sister as a virtual girlfriend he had raised online, to add some variety to his otherwise dull and boring life.

But unexpectedly, the doll sister was so different, quietly pulling off a big stunt.

The touching melody and simple, heartwarming lyrics instantly brought Wang Bin back to his childhood.

He was so happy then, running carefree in the mountains and fields.

At that time, he rolled up his trousers and stood in the babbling brook, listening to the cicadas chirping in the summer.

The song continues, and the camera in the video slowly zooms out, showing the doll sister riding the summer breeze, her face tinged with the orange hue of the setting sun, weaving through the endless waves of rice.

Don't give up so easily.

Just like I said

If you can't achieve a dream, just find another one.

To add vibrant color to one's life

First, color the love with your favorite color.

Smile!

Success and fame are not the goal.

Making yourself happy is what truly matters.

Paper airplanes from childhood

Now it's finally flown back into my hands.

The so-called happiness

I chased dragonflies barefoot in the field until I was tired.

I'm terrified of being stung by bees after stealing fruit.

Who's secretly laughing?

I leaned against the scarecrow

Falling asleep while singing in the breeze

The guitar sounds even crisper in the afternoon amidst the chirping of insects.

Sunshine on the road makes heartbreak less of a concern.

Cherish everything, even if you don't possess it.

I remember you said home is the only castle

As the rice-scented river continues its journey

I know the dreams I had as a child.

Don't cry, let the fireflies carry you away.

Country folk songs are an eternal reliance

Let's go home and return to the beauty of the beginning.

As dragonflies, bees, paper airplanes, scarecrows, fireflies—one after another familiar childhood image—appeared in the song, Wang Bin felt he could no longer hold back his emotions.

His eyes had unknowingly become a little moist. His childhood memories were also beginning to become clearer.

Back then, while he watched his parents work in the fields, he would go to the stream in the fields, tie a line to a simple bamboo pole, attach earthworms to the line, and then catch crayfish. In no time at all, he could catch half a bucketful.

Back then, he would run wildly along the ridges of the fields with the other children in the village, surrounded by golden rapeseed flowers, chasing dragonflies and butterflies.

As the sun set, they laughed and chatted as they returned to their respective homes, where their parents had already prepared dinner. The whole family sat down together for a joyful meal…

Back then, he always longed to grow up. But when he grew up, he almost forgot the simple joys of his childhood.

As Wang Bin thought about these things and looked at the subtitles on the screen, his mouth unconsciously followed the melody, and he slowly hummed along with the doll sister.

Do you remember you saying home was the only castle?

As the rice-scented river continues its journey

I know the dreams I had as a child.

Don't cry, let the fireflies carry you away.

Country folk songs are an eternal reliance

Let's go home and return to the beauty of the beginning.

After the song ended, Wang Bin clicked to repeat the playback. He only opened the comments section after the song had looped three times.

[I took my pants off, and this is what you show me, Doll Sister! Okay, I repent, I admit my mistake, I've gone astray, I've already slapped myself twice.]

Doll Sister, your voice reminds me of my sister who lives thousands of miles away. In my childhood, it was always my sister who gave me treats and played with me.

Doll sister, can I have a loving hug? Let me relive the warmth of my childhood.

[Upstairs, you're despicable. Do you want a hug? I wouldn't even bother to call you out on it.]

I have to say, "Rice Fragrance" is the best song I've heard this year.

The words "paper airplane," "scarecrow," and "dragonfly" appearing in the song really resonated with me.

It's obvious the doll sister really loves fireflies! ~Don't cry, let the fireflies carry you away~

The firefly is running away with the doll sister—what a romantic scene!

And then there's the man in "Close Combat 1" who shines as brightly as a firefly.

If the two are linked, wouldn't it be like a firefly-like man running away with a doll-like sister?

What happens after the escape? Ambiguous soft lighting, incredible rope skills, turtle shell bondage... cough cough, okay, I was imagining too much. Everyone, listen to the song, listen to the song.

Please do not overinterpret this.

Damn, you guys are all geniuses! Such a beautiful and healing song, and you've all made it sound so dirty.

The song is already on my playlist, and I hope my sister will release the single on a music platform soon.

Also, I'd like to know the same shirt as yours, sister. I want to buy it for my girlfriend.

The paper airplane from my childhood has finally flown back into my hands.

Hearing this really made me lose my composure; life is like a boomerang.

When I was little, I desperately wanted to grow up, thinking that I could make my own decisions, buy whatever I wanted to eat, and play whatever I wanted, without any worries.

But as we grow up, we realize the hardships of life. Repetitive work wears down our passion, and complex interpersonal relationships smooth out our edges. All of this makes it difficult for us to experience the simple joy of childhood.

I really like a few lines from the song: home is the only castle, success and fame are not the only goal, making yourself happy is what matters.

This song made me decide to return to my hometown, a small town.
