Chapter 3 The King of Karaoke"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to my live broadcast room. I haven't been broadcasting for the past two days because of something else. I missed you guys so much!" Jiang Congwen greeted everyone enthusiastically in front of the camera, and there was no sign of his decadent look in the past two days. Perhaps only the die-hard fans can see that something is wrong with Jiang Congwen. [Brother Wen, why haven't you played your songs in so many days? You are no longer on the singing charts. ] [Brother Wen seems a little excited today? ] 【Happy event coming soon?】 [Are you secretly preparing to propose? 】 [I guess so, otherwise why are you so excited when it starts today after not airing for a few days? ] [You kid, you forgot about your brothers now that you have a wife, right? ] [He didn't even tell his brothers about the proposal. He still treats us as outsiders. 】 [The proposal should be a surprise, it’s okay if it’s not live, but can the wedding night be live streamed so that the brothers can feel a sense of participation. ]
[Yes, yes, yes, how can we miss our brothers when we have one of the four great joyous events in Brother Wen’s life! ] [Clouds making trouble in the bridal chamber? ] [I'm not just curious, I just want to share in the good fortune.] [Are you guys trying to get some good luck? I'm embarrassed to say anything to you! ] 【Cloud Eavesdropping! 】 [I can hear your calculations even from Myanmar.] [Is the brother above busy with business recently? ] [Not very good, the market is not good recently, the boss has run away. ] [Why do I hear that all the bosses are going back to China to visit their families? ] 【Weren't you invited back for tea? 】 [Free prison meals are provided to ensure you are full and satisfied.] [The above post has deviated from the topic. This is the emotional life channel. You should go to the legal channel.] Dense barrages of comments floated by, and people often started chatting on their own. Jiang Congwen had mentioned his emotional experiences several times in the live broadcast room before. As a man in love, he always can't help but want to show off to others, so fans also more or less know some of Jiang Congwen's personal emotional status. Jiang Congwen doesn't want to talk about his relationship issues right now, so he just pretended not to see the speculations and ridicules posted by fans in the comments. Of course, Jiang Congwen did not stop the netizens from entertaining themselves, and he couldn't do anything about it. If you don't pretend you didn't see it, the topic will pass soon. After all, in a live broadcast room with less than 10,000 people, the barrage of comments can scroll very quickly. But if the anchor brings up this topic, even if you originally want netizens not to talk about this topic, it will be basically useless. The more you persuade the netizens, the more excited they will be. On the Internet, the more seriously you persuade people, the more likely many people will have a mentality of "I just want to piss you off and see what you can do to me", and they will be rebellious and will not listen to any advice at all.
So after a simple greeting, Jiang Congwen, as usual, sang a few of his best songs to warm up the audience. Then he asked netizens to select the songs they wanted to listen to. When he got tired of singing, he chatted with the fans and picked some interesting comments to answer. Sometimes Jiang Congwen would connect online to play PK, compete in talent with familiar anchors, or connect randomly. Random connections can sometimes be awkward, after all, there are all kinds of weird things on the Internet, but sometimes they can produce unexpected program effects. But Jiang Congwen was not in the mood today, and he was ready to end the broadcast after just over an hour. "Today my good brother wrote a song for me. I like it very much. The song has not been recorded yet, but I can't wait to share it with everyone. The name of the song is "King of Karaoke"." "Haha, this title is just talking about me, isn't it?!" "Okay, no more jokes. The last song of the night is "King of Karaoke" for everyone." [There is a new song?! ] 【I didn’t expect there would be a surprise! 】 [It turns out that Brother Wen has been secretly doing something big these past two days. ] [Maybe it was a shock? ] [Excuse me, I admire the cover singer, but the original version you posted before was really not that good. ] [“King of Karaoke”? Wow, what a name?! ] [You are not modest at all.] 【Everyone knows Sima Wen's intentions! 】 While the live broadcast room was still lively, a gentle piano prelude sounded. Jiang Congwen took a deep breath, then put all his heart into the song. In front of the microphone, he began to sing in a slightly low voice, while memories kept surging in his mind. I thought that if the singing was done with good intentions You always care about me more】 "Jinting, look, the song I covered last night is in the top ten of the charts." "Jinting, look, my number of fans has exceeded one million!" Jiang Congwen happily shared every small achievement he made with his girlfriend. I thought that although love has become a thing of the past Thousands of words can comfort each other. It was a sunny day, and the school was filled with banners welcoming new students. Various clubs were enthusiastically distributing flyers to attract new members. Jiang Congwen was just about to go outside the school to find food when he saw a girl wearing a white shirt, a denim skirt, white canvas shoes, shoulder-length hair, and a bit of baby fat on her innocent face, struggling to move towards the school gate. Seeing the girl pulling a heavy suitcase and carrying a set of quilts and mattresses, Jiang Congwen, who was full of justice, immediately stepped forward to lend a helping hand. "Junior sister, you are the new student reporting in, right? I am the senior who welcomes the new students to the school. Come, I will help you with your luggage." Jiang Congwen walked over and took the girl's luggage naturally before the girl could react, then turned around and led the way. "Thank you, senior brother." The girl reacted and thanked him quickly.
"You're welcome. This is what we seniors are supposed to do. I'll take you to the school auditorium first, and then to the dormitory." As Jiang Congwen said this, he ignored the fact that he had just ignored the freshman who was also dragging his luggage on the way to the school gate, and he also forgot about Chen Mo who was waiting for him as they had agreed to have dinner together. "I can also take you to visit the school. Junior sister, if you have anything you want to know or understand, you can ask me. There is nothing in the school that I am not familiar with." Jiang Congwen used his warm and friendly attitude and witty and humorous language to quickly narrow the distance between the two. "You can add me on WeChat and ask me any questions you have." Jiang Congwen suggested after sending him to the dormitory. "Thank you, senior brother. I have troubled you enough today. I don't want to bother you all the time." The girl politely and tactfully refused. This is the scene of their first meeting. The sun was shining brightly that day and the wind was gentle. [I hope you will be touched by the truth that it is difficult for us to get along The lyricist asked me to sing out the happiness you want] In the rehearsal room of Xingcheng, a beautiful girl with pure and sweet looks was also watching the live broadcast. Her hair, which had long been past her shoulders, was tied up, and a few strands of hair at her temples stuck to her delicate face due to sweat. It was hard to imagine that such a delicate face had cute baby fat a few years ago. Perhaps only the few people who are closest to her and familiar with her have an impression of her. The girl pursed her lips at this time. After hearing this, she knew who wrote the song. That is the witness of his and her story. "Hello, Senior Brother. My name is Li Jinting, and I'm Jiang Congwen's girlfriend." "Hello, junior sister. My name is Chen Mo, and I'm Lao Jiang's roommate. I never thought Lao Jiang would find such a beautiful girlfriend one day. No wonder he stood me up the other day. They are such a perfect match. I wish you two will be together forever." "Yes." Her answer at that time was so affirmative and confident. "Haha, I'm waiting for your wedding candy." She seemed to blush at that time. [Who has ever been moved to understand the moment of breaking up Leaving the rankings is even more unforgettable] "Jinting, shall we get married?" "Awen, I... I'm not ready yet. Can you wait a little longer? I want to participate in a show soon." "It's okay, I was too impatient. After all, you just graduated not long ago, go do what you want to do." Jiang Congwen smiled and pretended to be relaxed. "Well, Ah Wen, if everything goes well, I can officially debut, and in the future I will be able to sing on the most shining stage. You know this has always been my dream." "Well, come on, you can do it." So where do I and our future rank in your heart? Will I be in your shining future? This was what Jiang Congwen wanted to ask at the time but didn't dare to ask. But once some questions are asked, perhaps both parties already have the answer deep in their hearts, and waiting is nothing more than a silent retention. [I already believe that there are some people I never have to wait for So I understand Why do you cry in the dim light? By the time he sang this, Jiang Congwen's eyes were already red.
"Congwen, I may not want to get married so soon, maybe not even in the next few years." "That's okay. We can get married later. We can get married whenever you want. It's up to you." Jiang Congwen said with a smile to comfort her. "Did you feel pressured when I mentioned marriage to you before? Before, you wanted to find a good partner and start a family first! But now your career is obviously on the rise, let's focus on your career first, you don't have to worry about me, and don't feel pressured." "Really, as long as it's you in the end, I'm willing to wait no matter how long it takes." Jiang Congwen said seriously. However, the only answer I received was endless silence. Why don’t you believe me? Why don't you even give me a chance to wait? Jiang Congwen asked himself this question more than once. You won't believe how happy tomorrow will be if you marry me I just want you to understand that I am willing Love love love to the point of vomiting] Jiang Congwen suppressed his tears. Two days of drunkenness and singing continuously for a long time made his throat a little hoarse at the moment, but the emotions that had been pent up in his heart for the past few days seemed to find an outlet at this moment. Although Jiang Congwen's voice is a little trembling now, and even the tone is not so accurate, it resonates with many people in front of the screen. The scrolling barrage also slowed down at this moment. Yeah, you won't believe that we can end up happily together. Yes, I did all this willingly. And the girl thousands of miles away was already in tears and sobbing. "Sorry…" [That is the suffering that can only be endured by living a life of drunkenness and dreaming of death Love is like a tide, I forgot who I am At least you still cry] What about you? Will you cry if you leave me? Jiang Congwen really wanted to know. I want to sing a song to bless us After singing, I will live alone I'm willing to try to understand from now on How lonely is one's heart in a crowded room? Li Jinting listened to Jiang Congwen singing. These words seemed to be his inner monologue, and seemed to be telling herself about his current situation. [Let me become the ruthless karaoke king The microphone conquered me I didn't expect you to say it so casually. Why is this abuse of affection I want to end with a kiss goodbye I didn't expect you to just tell me not to cry and not let me understand. "No, it's not like that. How can I act as if nothing happened?" Li Jinting shook her head silently in front of the screen.
That day, she didn't dare to tell him in person, because she knew that she wouldn't be able to say it when she saw him. She knew he would wait. So she didn't dare to let him wait. Waiting for an uncertain future. The accompaniment stopped, and there seemed to be a moment of silence in the live broadcast room, and then there was a sudden explosion of rhythm. The number of people in the live broadcast room reached more than 50,000 at some point, and the barrage of comments was rolling rapidly. 【It turned out to be a tragedy? 】 【Great joy and great sorrow.】 [It’s not what I thought, is it? 】 [It’s just a song, right? Tell me it’s just a song! ] [Singing like this, I would never believe that nothing happened. 】 [I am so sad, Brother Wen’s first original song became popular because of a breakup! ] [From now on, I would like to call you the King of Karaoke! ] 【The King of Karaoke, truly worthy of the title! 】 [When I saw the title of this song, I thought it was a boast, but I didn’t expect that the clown was actually me? ] [The lyrics of this song are really touching. ] 【There seems to be a story upstairs. 】 [I have some wine, tell me about it.] 【+1】 [Am I the only one who cried after listening to this? ] 【Don't worry, you are not alone. 】 [No, how can we separate the arts and sciences! ] Jiang Congwen’s DouLe ID is called “Arts and science are inseparable.” There is only one sentence on his homepage: I don’t know where the love comes from, but it is so deep and lasting. So fans call Jiang Congwen "Brother Wen", and they also know that Jiang Congwen's girlfriend's surname is Li. Jiang Congwen calmed himself down, wiped his face, ignored the rolling comments and the extraordinary popularity of the live broadcast room, said a few simple goodbyes and thanks, and hurriedly ended the broadcast. At the last moment before the broadcast ended, he caught a glimpse of a comment: [Sure enough, emotional pain is the best fertilizer for creators. ] After turning off the live broadcast, Jiang Congwen cursed: "Bullshit! This is my emotional injury!" I wonder how happy Chen Mo must have been when he got the inspiration to write this song.
The two are indeed good brothers, they can empathize with each other, one can understand the other's sadness and write such a fitting song, and the other can guess the joy of the other when creating the song. He is truly a good brother in my heart. But there was nothing he could do, it was him who lost his wife, not Chen Mo. If his good brother was as desperate as he was, he would not be able to sleep. After Jiang Congwen went off the air, he only deleted the sentence "I don't know where the love comes from, but it's so deep and lasting" from his homepage. After thinking for a while, Jiang Congwen typed another sentence: "Don't even talk about love!" This sentence was seen by many fans in the live broadcast room. All the speculations of the crowd seemed to come true at this moment, because they had the most solid basis and the most real evidence. The audience in the live broadcast room were very excited, and they were all imagining and sharing excitedly... Tonight, a carnival for "King of Karaoke" has just begun. Tonight is destined to be noisy. Please recommend, collect and support!
