Chapter 403 Dream

Monday, December 17, is the eighth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar.

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

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

Now the car is still parked in the city. He has to fly to Star City 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 than taking the train back, and it just costs a little more money.

Taking the train back is too slow.

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

Unfortunately, it will take some time for this line of high-speed rail to be opened to traffic, so now we can only accept this inconvenience.

By the time he got back into his Mercedes-Benz, it was already two or three in the afternoon.

It's much faster than taking the train.

Then we got on the expressway and drove towards Yangcheng.

We also need to pass through Star City once on the way.

This is also something that can't be helped.

The car stopped driving 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 Ellie, telling her that she would arrive at noon tomorrow and asking her to prepare lunch.

The next day, Ai Lili didn't go to work, so she stayed at home to prepare a sumptuous lunch for Yan Xin.

When Yan Xin got home, it was only around ten in the morning, and Aili was busy in the kitchen at this time.

He wanted to go over to help, but Ellie pushed him away:

"You've had a hard time driving. Go to bed and sleep for a while. I'll call you during dinner."

Yan Xin thought that after not seeing each other for such a long time, the two of them might have a fierce fight by then, and they needed to recharge their batteries.

——Ellie has been idle these days, but he is not idle. If he doesn't take a good rest, he is afraid that he won't even be able to connect at the very least.

Although you can blame it on being tired from driving all the way and not in a good state, it is a shameful thing for a man to use such excuses.

It's better to take a rest.

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

Before going to bed, I secretly took out a box of wolfberry 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 pay attention to the movement outside to ensure that no one would notice him.

After eating, he hid the box of wolfberries and then went to sleep peacefully.

By the time he woke up, it was already past 12 noon.

It was not Ai Lili who asked him to get up for dinner, but Gu Ru.

- During this period, Gu Ru lived at Aili's place. Aili went to work during the day, and she went to the recording studio to record songs.

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

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

This way you won't be so lonely if you have someone with you.

Madoka would also eat with them in the evening, but after dinner she would go to a performance.

Sometimes there are opportunities 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 in the morning. She was afraid of disturbing them when they were sleeping, so she didn't live with them.

Gu Ru has rested for such a long time, her schedule has become 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 Xiao Yuan and Chen Li.

We are all friends and live in the same community. It would be more lively if we have more people eating together.

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

When entering the bedroom, Yan Xin was still sleeping.

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

Although it is not very loud, it can be heard very clearly.

"It's broad daylight, but this guy can sleep."

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

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

Gu Ru was so disappointed and thought to herself: "He actually sleeps with his clothes on in his own home. This guy is so perverted!"

I really despise this person's behavior, he is not magnanimous at all.

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

Thinking: "As expected of a capitalist, he has capital at first sight."

Seeing that Yan Xin hadn't woken up yet, he slapped Yan Xin carelessly and raised his voice:

"Yan Xin, stop having sweet dreams and get up and eat quickly."

This slap woke up Yan Xin. He was so startled that he sat up from the bed: "Who? What?"

Then he saw Gu Ru standing beside the bed and was confused:

"Sister Ru, why are you here?"

Gu Ru said: "Your wife has prepared the meal and asked you to come over for dinner."

Yan Xin snorted and said, "Okay, wait for me for two 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? Are you afraid that I will peek at you?"

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

Gu Ru turned around and smiled: "You have a good eye for people!"

Walk out of the room and close the door behind you.

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

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

Ai Lili and Xiao Yuan were in the kitchen bringing the food over. One of them sat at the table and waited while the other went to wake up Yan Xin.

Within two minutes, Yan Xin changed his clothes and came out of the bedroom and said to them:

"I'm sorry, I drove here from my hometown. I'm a little tired when I come back. I slept too much, so I didn't accompany you."

"It's okay. It's already lively enough for us people to be 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 now? Is the writing going smoothly?"

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

The outline and details were almost complete, and the characters were all in place, so there wasn't much he could do to help.

He has also read Chen Li's novels and is becoming more and more proficient. He is already a mature author and does not need to stare at them every day like before.

"The writing was pretty smooth, and I haven't lost any follow-up orders," Chen Lida said.

Speaking of this, he was 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.

"Okay," 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 getting more and more exciting."

Gu Ru interjected: "It must be wonderful. I hope he will pay me back when the royalties come out."

"You don't have to worry about this. Once the royalties are settled next month, there will be no problem paying you back." Yan Xin assured Chen Li.

Then I asked Gu Ru how the record recording was going.

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

Then he said with emotion: "When the record is finished, I will work hard to commercialize and perform for a month or two. By the way, I will increase my presence and promote the record, and then I will have to withdraw from the world."

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

"There is no shortage of people like me in the music world," Gu Ru said soberly, "With or without me, it's the same. I can't compare to those young and beautiful ones. I don't have enough strength or good looks. If I continue to develop, I won't be able to do that.

It’s necessary, I’m too tired these years.”

"It's time for you to rest," Yan Xin said. "Your story has been written. You have left your own mark in the music world and reached a height that many people cannot reach. Now you should enjoy your life."

Xiao Yuan came out with a plate of food and said, "I also want to work hard for two more years and then enjoy life."

"You are still young and can still work hard for another ten years." Gu Ru said with a smile.

Xiao Yuan is twenty years old now, and she is only thirty years old after ten years of wandering. She is not as old as Gu Ru now.

Xiao Yuan shook her head: "I don't want to work hard for that long. I will work for another three years at most, and then I will quit and become my housekeeper."

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

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

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

Sometimes Ellie admires her and feels that this small body contains great energy.

Gu Ru also likes her better.

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

When Madoka first signed up for the company, she actually had no singing skills to speak of, and she wasn't even good at musical notation.

Later, I lived with Gu Ru. When I had free time, I would ask her for advice and learn from her. My singing skills gradually improved, and my musical literacy also improved a lot.

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

Later, when Gu Ru was away from home for a long time, she signed up for a vocal training class by herself and worked hard to improve herself.

I am indeed much more tired than the average person.

What she is getting now is what she deserves.

Anyway, that’s what Gu Ru thinks.

She also told Yan Xin privately several times whether she could write a few more songs for this little girl so that she could take a step further 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 her the trouble - it wasn't that he didn't want to, it was because he really didn't have the ability. All the songs he remembered had been taken out last year.

At that time, I wanted to make quick money and didn't have time to stock up on goods, so I naturally took out whatever I remembered.

Now I want to play another song, but I can't get it together no matter how hard I try.

If it's just one or two sentences, that's fine, and you can still find a batch of them.

But he really doesn't have the ability to compose an entire song with just 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 composing a few songs for Xiao Yuan.

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

Don’t you still know how much you weigh?

Xiao Yuan has discovered a personal album belonging to her this year. There are several songs written for her by Yan Xin, and there are also several songs found on the Starlight Music Forum, all of which were written by netizens.

Although the popular songs selected by voting are not popular enough to be popular, they are not unpleasant to listen to either.

That solo album was sold online, and more than 10,000 copies were sold in half a year. The results were not very good, but Madoka was already quite satisfied.

After all, it was her first solo album.

Many people record records but cannot sell any of them, so they can only give them away and beg people to listen to them.

The fact that she can sell more than 10,000 copies means that more than 10,000 people have recognized her identity as a singer. This is a huge success for her.

The income this album brought her was negligible. For the company, after deducting various costs, it would still be a loss.

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

Even some top singers don't make any money from recording.

But this is the promise that Starlight Entertainment made to the signed artists from the beginning, to release solo albums for them, 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. We don’t spend any extra money on publicity, and we won’t lose much if we lose money.

When talking about this while having dinner, Gu Ru said that she didn’t have much hope for the sales of her album.

She is now more famous than Xiao Yuan. Yan Xin has written more than a dozen songs for her, and each of them is very popular, so when she releases an album, the sales volume should be much higher than Xiao Yuan's.

few.

In addition, the company will be more vigorous in publicity.

The passing mark she drew for herself was to sell 50,000 copies.

Excellent ones are 100,000 copies.

If she can achieve such results, she feels that her life will be worthwhile and her return to the music industry will not be 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 100,000."

Madoka nodded vigorously: "I think it's at least 200,000, and it's possible to break through to 500,000."

"Who are you looking down on?" Chen Li waved his hand, "Who is Sister Ru? The new queen of the music industry! And these songs of hers are all composed by our best songwriter San Jin. They are really powerful forces. The two plus

Together, let me just say a number, one million!"

Gu Ru laughed happily: "Just blow it! Even the kings and queens of genuine records can't achieve that kind of sales!"

It is true that there are records that can reach millions of sales, but they may not happen once a year.

If it does appear, it will be phenomenal.

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

In this day and age, it's a bit fanciful to have millions of sales.

Yan Xin also joined in the fun with a smile: "One million, that still underestimates our sister Ru. I think it can be compared with Daolang's album "The First Snow in 2002"."

"Be bold and surpass him!" Chen Lida 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 to travel abroad!"

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

That's what they say, but no one takes it seriously.

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

Genuine records are like this, there's nothing you can do about it.

After dinner, everyone did not disperse. They stayed at Yan Xin's house chatting until dinner time. They were too lazy to cook for themselves, so they went out to eat together.

During this period, they also stood up and said goodbye, but they were all retained by Yan Xin sincerely.

The main reason is that Yan Xin feels that his physical recovery is not very satisfactory, and he still needs to recuperate mentally.

Ellie took leave today and did not go to work. If they all left, there might be a fierce battle.

He felt that he had not fully recovered his physical strength, so he had to delay.

Gu Ru was a treat for dinner, and he specially ordered two dishes that were said to be very filling to cheer him up.

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

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

After dinner, everyone walked home all the way.

Only Madoka did not follow them, but hurriedly took a taxi and left after eating to prepare for a performance.

Gu Ru was very sensible this time, until they reunited after a long separation, she did not follow to stay at Yan Xin's house, but returned to her own home.

If Yan Xin wants to keep her at this time, he can do so.

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

However, after delaying for such a long time, Yan Xin felt that he could do it again, so he did not try to persuade him to stay.

It was only that night that he understood how terrifying it would be for an adult woman suffering from lovesickness to see her lover.

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

It's not that he's not good at it, it's that Ellie is so good at it.

It wasn't until midnight that the drums and drums truly ceased.

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

He said to Ellie: "I'm going to sign up for a fitness class in the next two days to get a good workout, but now I still feel a little unhealthy."

"Your body is already in great shape." Ellie said seriously.

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

As long as Ai Lili is alone and the two of them stay together for a long time, Yan Xin feels that he can handle it, and it is more than enough.

But there happens to be another Feng Xi.

Then he suffered some physical disadvantages.

It's still like this when the three of them are not together.

If one day the three of them get together, with his current physical condition, I am afraid that he will become a drug scum every two years.

Although the possibility of being together is very slim, he still feels that he needs to make some preparations to make himself in better physical condition.

What if?

What if one day the dream comes true?
