Reborn since 2005

Chapter 403 Dreams
Monday, December 12, the eighth day of the eleventh lunar month.

After breakfast that day, Feng Xi went to school, while Yan Xin went to the airport - he bought a ticket to fly to Star City this morning.

If he hadn't driven back to his hometown by car, he would have flown directly back to Yangcheng.

Now the car is still parked in the city, he has to fly to Xingcheng first, then take the train back to the city, and then drive his Mercedes back to Yangcheng.

Although there are some troubles in this way, at least it saves a little time compared to going back by train, but it only costs a little more money.

It was too slow to go back by train.

At this time, he was extremely looking forward to the appearance of the high-speed rail.

It is a pity that it will take some time for the high-speed rail of this line to open to traffic, and now we can only accept such inconvenience.

By the time he got back into his Mercedes, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

It's also much faster than taking the train.

Then I got on the expressway and drove towards Yangcheng.

There is also a Star City on the way.

This is also impossible.

The car didn't drive until after eight o'clock in the evening. It was parked in a service area and slept there all night.

I also sent a message to Ai Lili, telling her that she would be there at noon tomorrow and asked her to prepare lunch.

The next day, Ai Lili didn't go to work, so she stayed at home and made a big lunch to wash Yan Xin off.

When Yan Xin arrived home, it was only after ten o'clock in the morning, and Ai Lili was busy in the kitchen at this time.

He wanted to go over to help, but Ai Lili pushed him away:
"You have been driving hard, go to bed and sleep for a while, and I will call you when you are eating."

Yan Xin thought, since they haven't seen each other for such a long time, the two of them might have a fierce battle, and they need to recharge their batteries.

——Ai Lili has been there these days, but he is not idle. If he doesn't take a good rest, he may not even be able to make the most basic connection.

Although it can be blamed on being tired from driving all the way and not in good condition, it is a shameful thing for a man to use such an excuse to prevaricate.

It's better to take a break.

So he didn't insist and went back to the bedroom to rest.

Before going to bed, he secretly took out a box of goji berries from the depths of the closet, grabbed a handful and swallowed it.

When doing this, the bedroom door was closed, and he was very careful to watch the movement outside to ensure that no one would notice.

After eating, he hid the box of wolfberries again, and then went to sleep with peace of mind.

When he woke up, it was already past 12 noon.

It was not Ai Lili who told him to get up and eat, but Gu Ru.

—— During this time, Gu Ru lived with Ai Lili. During the day, Ai Lili went to work, and she went to the recording studio to record songs.

Sometimes at noon, the two of them would have dinner together, and sometimes she would have a box lunch at the recording studio.

We eat dinner together every day, and live together, take a walk after dinner, and go home to take a shower and sleep.

With a companion like this, you won't be so lonely.

Madoka will also have dinner with them at night, but after the meal, she will go to the performance.

Sometimes there is an opportunity to perform in other places, so we can't be together.

When she was in Yangcheng, she usually didn't go home until one or two o'clock in the morning. She didn't live with them because she was afraid of disturbing them to sleep.

After resting for such a long time, Gu Ru's work and rest are already normal, and she won't go to bed until midnight.

This time when Yan Xin came back, Ai Lili not only called Gu Ru over for dinner, but also called Xiaoyuan and Chen Li over.

They are all friends, and they all live in the same community. It would be more lively if there are more people eating together.

When the food was ready, Gu Ru came over to wake Yan Xin up.

When entering the bedroom, Yan Xin was still sleeping.

He was lying on his back facing the sky, snoring from his nose.

It's not very loud, but it's also clearly audible.

"In broad daylight, this guy can sleep well."

Gu Ru muttered, walked to the bed, lifted the quilt immediately, and said, "The meal is ready, it's time to get up and eat!"

The quilt was lifted, and Yan Xin inside was wearing pajamas and pajamas.

Gu Ru was so disappointed, she thought to herself: "Sleeping with clothes on at home, this guy is so perverted!"

I despise this person very much, he is not frank enough at all.

However, when he looked down and saw a big bulging lump, he couldn't help blinking, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Thinking: "As expected of a capitalist, you can see capital at a glance."

Seeing that Yan Xin was still awake, he slapped Yan Xin carelessly and raised his voice:

"Yan Xin, don't have sweet dreams, get up and eat quickly."

This slap woke Yan Xin up, startled him a lot, and sat up from the bed all of a sudden: "Who? What are you doing?"

Then I saw Gu Ru standing by the bed, and was puzzled:
"Sister Ru, why are you here?"

Gu Ru said: "Your wife has cooked the meal and asked you to come and eat."

Yan Xin snorted, and said, "Okay, wait for me for 2 minutes and change clothes."

Then he glanced at Gu Ru again.

Gu Ru walked outside and said with a smile, "Why, are you still shy? Afraid I'll peep at you?"

Yan Xin quickly said: "I don't mean that, I know you are not that kind of person, Sister Ru."

Gu Ru turned around and laughed, "You have a good eye for seeing people!"

He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Chen Li asked at the restaurant, "Are you awake?"

"I woke up, I need to change clothes." Gu Ru said.

Ai Lili and Xiaoyuan are bringing all the food in the kitchen, one of them is lazy sitting at the table and waiting, and the other is going to wake Yan Xin up.

Within 2 minutes, Yan Xin came out of the bedroom after changing clothes, and said to them:
"I'm sorry, I drove here from my hometown, and I was a little tired when I came back. I slept too hard, so I didn't accompany you."

"It's okay, we are already lively enough together, it's almost the same with you or without you." Gu Ru said.

"When you say that, I feel a little lost."

Yan Xin sat down.

Then he asked Chen Li next to him: "How is the novel doing now? Is the writing going well?"

It's been a while since he discussed the novel with Chen Li.

The outline and detailed outline are almost done, and the character design is also available, so there is not much he can do to help.

He has also read Chen Li's novels, and he has become more and more proficient, and he is already a mature author, so he doesn't need to stare at him every day like before.

"The writing is quite smooth, and the follow-up order has not been dropped." Chen Li said.

Speaking of which, he is quite proud.

Now he also feels that he has grown up. Although he still needs Yan Xin's creativity, at least he is not as dependent as before.

"Sure," Yan Xin said, "I don't have a computer in my hometown these days, so I can't read your novel, but I read it a while ago, and it's really getting more and more exciting."

Gu Ru interjected: "It must be wonderful, and I expect him to pay me back after the manuscript fee has been paid."

"You don't have to worry about it. Once the royalties are settled next month, it will be absolutely no problem to pay you back." Yan Xin made a guarantee for Chen Li.

He asked Gu Ru how the record was going.

"It's almost there. There are two songs I want to try again to see if they can be better. Anyway, it won't delay the release at the end of the year." Gu Ru said.

He said with emotion: "After the recording of the record is finished, I will work hard on commercial performances for a month or two. By the way, I will get a sense of presence and promote the record, and then I will have to quit the arena."

"That's a big loss for the music industry!" Chen Li flattered.

"There is no shortage of people like me in the music world," Gu Ru was sober, "It's the same with me or without me. I can't compare to those young and beautiful people. I don't have enough strength, and I don't have enough good looks. If I develop again, it's just like that. Necessary, these years are too tiring."

"It's time for you to rest," Yan Xin said. "Your story has been written. You have left your mark on the music scene and reached a height that many people can't reach. Next, you should enjoy life."

Xiaoyuan came out with a plate of dishes, and said, "I also want to work hard for another two years, and then enjoy life well."

"You are still young, and you can go on for another ten years." Gu Ru said with a smile.

Now Xiaoyuan is 20 years old, and she is only 30 years old after ten years of adventure, not as old as Gu Ru now.

Xiaoyuan shook her head: "I don't want to fight for so long, at most three more years, and then I will quit and become my renter."

She makes money now by buying a house, buying a house and renting it out, using the rent to pay off the mortgage, and waiting for the house to appreciate.

At a young age, she is already a little rich woman, and she has become by her own efforts.

In this regard, she is already better than most of her peers.

Sometimes Ai Lili admires her, and feels that this small body contains great energy.

Gu Ru also likes her more.

Not only because she can flatter, but also because she works hard enough to make money and improve her singing skills.

When Xiaoyuan first signed into the company, she actually didn't have much singing skills to speak of, not even that good at numbered notation.

Later, I lived with Gu Ru, and when I was free, I would ask her for advice and learn from her. Gradually, my singing skills improved, and my music quality also improved a lot.

At the same time, she is also working hard to earn money singing.

Afterwards, Gu Ru was away from home for a long time, and she signed up for a vocal music training class by herself, trying to improve herself.

Tired is indeed much more tiring than the average person.

What she got now is what she deserves.

Anyway, Gu Ru thinks so.

She also asked Yan Xin several times in private, could she write a few more songs for this little girl, so that this little girl could take a step forward in her career and become a real singer instead of an internet singer.

Yan Xin really wanted to help this little girl, but he couldn't tell what he was suffering—it wasn't that he didn't want to, it was that he really didn't have that ability. The songs he remembered had all been taken out last year.

At that time, I wanted to make quick money, and I didn’t have time to stock up on goods. Naturally, I just bought what I remembered.

Now I want to play another song, but I can't make it up no matter what.

If there is no problem with just one or two sentences, then a batch can be found.

But he really doesn't have the ability to compose a whole song with only one or two lines of lyrics.

I can only tell the truth - I really have no creative ability.

However, in order to make Gu Ru feel more comfortable, he still promised that if he had the ability to create again, he would give priority to creating a few songs for Xiao Yuan.

That's what he said, but he knew that this promise would never be fulfilled.

Don't you know how many catties you have?

Xiaoyuan has already discovered a solo album that belongs to her this year. There are a few songs written by Yan Xin for her, and there are also a few songs that were fished out from the Xingguang.com music forum, all of which were written by netizens. Although the popular songs selected by the vote are not popular enough, they are not very popular, but they are not bad.

That solo album was sold online, and it sold more than 1 copies in half a year. The results were not very good, but Madoka was quite satisfied.

After all, it was her first solo album.

Many people record records, but none of them can be sold, they can only be given away, and they have to beg to be listened to.

She was able to sell more than 1 copies, which means that more than 1 people have recognized her identity as a singer, which is a huge success for her.

The income that this record brought her was negligible. For the company, after deducting various costs, it would even lose money.

But now the physical record industry is like this. There are many people who listen to music, and the number of people who are willing to consume is actually quite a lot. However, piracy is so rampant that basically all genuine records lose money.

Even some top singers did not make any money making records.

But this is the promise that Starlight Entertainment made to those signed artists at the beginning, to give them a solo album, so even if they lose money, they have to do it.

Fortunately, we have our own online sales channels and our own online publicity channels, so we don’t spend extra money on publicity and distribution, and we can’t lose much if we lose money.

During the meal, when we talked about this, Gu Ru said that he didn't have much hope for the sales of his record.

She is now more famous than Xiaoyuan. Yan Xin has written more than a dozen songs for her, each of which is highly sung, so when she makes an album, the sales should be much higher than Xiaoyuan's. few.

In addition, in terms of publicity, the company will be more aggressive.

The passing line she drew for herself was to sell [-] copies.

Excellent is [-] copies.

If she could achieve such a result, she felt that her life was worth it, and she didn't come to the music scene in vain.

When she said this, everyone disagreed.

Ai Lili said: "Sister Ru, you are my favorite female singer, there is no one in my heart, your record sales must be more than [-] copies."

Madoka nodded vigorously: "I think at least 20 is the base, and it is possible to break through to 50."

"Who do you look down on?" Chen Li waved his hand, "Who is Sister Ru? The new queen of music! And these songs of hers were written by San Jin, our best songwriter. Together, let me just say a number, 100 million!"

Gu Ru laughed happily: "You guys just blow it! The genuine record, even the king of heaven and the queen can't reach that kind of sales!"

There are indeed records that can reach million sales, but they don't necessarily appear once a year.

Appeared, it was all phenomenal.

The combination of offline pirated records and online free resources is already killing the physical record industry.

In this era, it is a bit whimsical to want to have million-level sales.

Yan Xin also smiled and joined in the fun: "One million, that still underestimates our sister Ru, I think it can be compared with Dao Lang's "The First Snow in 100" album."

"Be bold and surpass him!" Chen Li said.

Gu Ru smiled even more happily: "Don't say surpass him, if you can reach one tenth of that record, I'll invite you guys to travel abroad!"

"Then it's settled!" Chen Li said.

It is said so, but no one takes it seriously.

Because they all know in their hearts that one tenth is impossible to achieve.

The original record is like this ghost, there is no way.

After dinner, everyone didn't leave, so they stayed at Yan Xin's house and chatted until dinner time, and they didn't bother to cook by themselves, so they went out to eat together.

During this period, they also got up to say goodbye, but Yan Xin sincerely persuaded them to keep them.

The main reason is that Yan Xin feels that he is not very satisfied with his physical recovery, and it is necessary to nourish his spirit.

Ai Lili took leave today and didn't go to work. If they all leave, it might be a fierce battle.

He felt that he hadn't fully recovered his physical fitness, so he had to delay time.

Dinner was Gu Ru's treat, and he specially ordered two dishes that were said to be very nourishing to cheer himself up.

Ai Lili kept a smile on her face most of the time, but occasionally she looked at him with some resentment in her eyes.

In such a situation, Yan Xin could only avoid her gaze and not meet her gaze.

After dinner, everyone walked home.

Only Xiaoyuan didn't follow them, but hurriedly took a taxi and left after eating, preparing for the performance.

This time Gu Ru was very sensible, until they reunited after a long absence, they didn't follow Yan Xin's house to live, but went back to their own home.

At this time, if Yan Xin wanted to keep her, he could.

If you keep it, as a light bulb, you can avoid some unnecessary troubles.

But after delaying for such a long time, Yan Xin felt that he could do it again, so he didn't keep him.

It was only that night that he understood how terrible it is for a grown woman suffering from lovesickness to see her lover.

He thought he could do it, but in fact he still couldn't.

It's not that he can't do it, but Ai Lili is too good at it.

In the middle of the night, it can be regarded as the real death.

At that time, Yan Xin felt that his waist was about to break.

He said to Ai Lili: "In two days, I plan to enroll in a fitness class and exercise well, but now I still feel a little unhealthy."

"Your body is already great." Ai Lili said seriously.

"But I think I can be better." Yan Xin said.

If there was only Ai Lili alone, and the two of them stayed together for a long time, Yan Xin felt that he could handle it, and it was more than enough.

But there was another Feng Xi.

Then he suffered a little physically.

Even if the three of them are not together.

If one day the three of them were together, with his current physical fitness, he might turn into medicine dregs every two years.

Although the possibility of being together is very small, he still feels that he needs to make some preparations to improve his physical fitness.

What if?
What if one day the dream comes true?
