Chapter 121 How are you doing, Third Brother?
Cormier's concerts are different from others; he is passionate and unrestrained by nature, and he likes to put on a grand and spectacular show.
He doesn't restrict filming or recording, and when he gets into the swing of things, he'll even invite audience members to come on stage and perform with him.
Twenty years ago, Cormier's music was considered by foreign media to be unworthy of serious consideration, but his exceptional talent and superb skills allowed him to forge a unique path.
Twenty years have passed, and both new and old music fans have long since become accustomed to his engaging style.
But... to my utter surprise, today's match was more intense than ever before!
This was Tu Yao's first time attending a concert. She stood in a corner, holding a camera, and silently watched Cormier on stage.
Tu Yao doesn't understand music, but she can understand emotions.
She could feel Cormier's intense emotions in every piece of music.
When you are sad, be extremely sad; when you are happy, be extremely happy.
Tu Yao couldn't help but tap her head.
...Little Daddy, is this world really just a book?
110: [What do you think?]
Tu Yao didn't say anything.
If it were a book, why are all the characters three-dimensional and vivid, allowing her to empathize with all their emotions?
But if she's not a book, then... what is she?
Tu Yao quickly ran out of time to dwell on it.
Nan Ke has emerged.
Just as Tu Yao had envisioned, at this moment, all the lights and all the eyes fell on him in an instant.
Nan Ke, dressed in a custom-made tuxedo, her beautiful curly hair tied into a small bun as usual, walked step by step from behind the curtain to the center of the stage.
In those few steps, countless fragments of memories flashed through his mind.
It's like the raging fire in the music room.
It's a one-way train ticket with no destination in mind.
It was the hand that grasped his as people came and went.
It was the girl's bright and cheerful smile.
It was a series of "water disasters" that were both laughable and frustrating.
It was that great fire that burned away all bitterness, repression, and pain.
...
His suffering began with the fire and also ended with the fire.
His life's fulfillment began with Tu Xiaomao and will never end.
The lights were too bright, and Nan Ke couldn't see the people below the stage. He could only rely on his memory to slowly and gently curl the corners of his lips in a certain direction.
Under the spotlight, with family watching, and with friends by my side.
He pressed the keys and played the first note.
...
Three hours later, the concert ended smoothly, and the audience left in an orderly manner.
The guests, band members, and staff backstage were also preparing to leave.
Tu Yao and her men stood guard at the entrance, meticulously watching the movements backstage.
Half a minute later, her eyes lit up!
"Brother!"
"Quick! Second Brother is out! Go deliver the flowers!!!"
Lin Yue tightened his grip on the flowers, his expression stiffening for a moment, before letting out an "Oh."
Tu Yao earnestly instructed, "Remember, you must shove it into your second brother's arms!"
Lin Yue said "Oh" again.
Nan Ke changed his clothes and came out, and immediately saw his family members waiting at the door.
Backstage, after recognizing Lin Yue, he almost immediately understood their intentions.
So at that moment, he smiled and cooperated, walking over to accept this surprise.
Lin Yue nervously pursed his lips as he watched the young man walking towards him.
Tu Yao waved frantically, urging, "Hurry up and deliver it!"
Lin Yue glanced at her subconsciously.
"Don't look at me, look at Second Brother!"
Lin Yue obediently turned his head again and stared blankly at the young man in front of him.
Tu Yao: ...
Nan Ke felt that if he didn't take the initiative, his wife Tu Xiaomao would be furious.
He smiled and asked, "Is this bouquet for me?"
The boy nodded stiffly: "...Yes."
Tu Yao's hope was rekindled, and she looked on with anticipation.
Then, in the next second, the boy pointed to Xu Chi next to him.
He honestly added, "He bought it."
Tu Yao & Tu Chaoxi & Xu Chi: ...
Nan Ke: ...
Nan Ke choked a little.
She paused for a second, smiled again, and continued, "So, did you come here specifically to see my performance today?"
The boy rubbed his fingertips together and nodded again: "Mm."
He then lowered his head and added, "Tu Xiaomao gave me the tickets."
Nan Ke: ...
Tu Yao silently bumped her head against Tu Chaoxi's shoulder.
Tu Chaoxi helplessly covered her face.
...Never mind, given his third son's personality, let's just be direct.
Tu Chaoxi took a deep breath, just about to speak.
However, the next second...
Nan Ke smiled, her gaze gentle as she looked at the reserved boy before her, and asked softly:
"...So, how have you been all these years?"
"Third brother."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tu Yao suddenly looked up!
Tu Chaoxi was also stunned for a moment.
Lin Yue looked up in surprise.
"you……"
Nan Ke had already taken the bouquet of flowers from his hand and was carefully examining the boy.
He said gently, "I didn't get a close look at the hospital last time, but he seems a bit darker than when he was a child."
A hint of helplessness appeared on his face: "But his personality is still the same as always."
"You remember your second brother, right?"
Lin Yue suddenly felt a lump in his throat and subconsciously nodded.
...He remembers everything.
I remember how my sister begged him not to tell on her after she got into trouble, and how he immediately told her everything.
I remember my older brother chasing after my younger sister and hitting her, and I remember my younger sister hiding behind my second older brother.
The second brother would casually pull him into his arms as well.
Then he put his and his sister's hands together, "warning" them not to argue.
Their eldest brother is always reliable, and their second brother is always gentle.
He remembers all the memories that made him happy.
After a long silence, the boy, his eyes red, slowly opened his mouth and said, "I...I'm doing very well."
"Second Brother."
Nan Ke ruffled his buzz cut: "That's good."
His gaze slowly shifted to the boy's obviously unusual leg.
"...How's your foot?"
Lin Yue quickly shook his head: "It's not serious anymore, my brother has already contacted a doctor for me."
Nan Ke's gaze darkened for a moment... If it's not serious now, then it must have been serious before.
"……That's good."
"Let's go, come home with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yue's eyes were still red, and he was stunned with difficulty.
"What's wrong?"
The boy paused for a second, then honestly said, "...I can't go back. I have to go back to the urban village. I haven't collected the two Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms that Lin Jingxin dried yet."
Everyone: ...
Tu Yao couldn't help but reach out and shake his head: "You look like a Ganoderma lucidum!"
...
The next morning, Cormier knocked on Nan Ke's door with a small backpack.
Tu Yao opened the door groggily, only to be jolted awake by a bag of money thrown at her!
"Mr. Cormier, have you struck it rich?"
Cormier grinned and leaned closer: "No, little mascot, you've struck it rich."
Tu Yao gradually recovered, hugging the backpack, and asked to confirm, "For me?"
Cormier replied matter-of-factly, "If not you, then who?"
He casually strolled into the house and looked around.
In the entryway, there are pairs of fluffy slippers, a bouquet of flowers on the table, and a brightly colored oil painting with small mascots hanging on the wall.
Cormier compared it with Tu Yao's, and hmm... they looked very similar.
He exclaimed, "This is really great! It's completely different from before. This room feels alive again!"
Cormier had visited Nan Ke's house once before, and it was like a cold ice cellar; someone as naturally sociable as him couldn't stand it for even a moment.
Seeing Tu Yao standing there in a daze holding the money, Cormier explained, "This money was originally the appearance fee for those two old guys. The two young students from Nan Ke who came to save the day thought it was too much and refused to accept it, so I divided it into three parts. This part is yours."
“Nan Ke said you didn’t have a bank card, so I gave you cash.”
Fearing she might refuse, Cormier suppressed every trace of casualness in his expression and said in a serious tone:
"Listen, little mascot, you helped me a lot yesterday and saved many lives. If you want, I'll give you anything you want."
"It's a pity you won't make any demands of me, so I can only figure out a range that you can accept."
Tu Yao opened her mouth as if to say something, but was immediately interrupted by him: "You must accept it! Listen, smart children deserve to be rewarded."
He was about to say something when Cormier interrupted him again: "I'll be angry if you don't accept it, you know? You deserve it..."
Tu Yao finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Wait!"
"I didn't say I wouldn't accept it!"
Cormier: ?
