Listen Yu’s Weibo was updated.
“The latest Chinese style song, 'Qingming Rain Up,' will be released on Qingming Festival. Please pay more attention to the Doumao platform’s 'Qingming' special program. We look forward to Gong Ju Ren bringing a wonderful performance!”
When netizens saw this message, many of Listen Yu’s fans were stunned.
A preview?
A preview of a new song?
“Damn, it’s happening in my lifetime!”
“It has to be the little princess. Listen Yu is actually releasing a new song preview!”
“What do you mean by presence? Listen Yu is releasing a preview for Gong Ju Ren. He always released songs secretly.”
“Qingming Rain Up? The name itself sounds very Chinese style.”
“Hahaha, I thought the appearance of Dark Night Rabbit would affect the little princess’s status in Listen Yu’s heart. Now it seems I was overthinking it!”
“Isn’t Gong Ju Ren close to becoming a king of singers? His attention is already greater than that of ordinary kings of singers. Now he just needs a legendary performance!”
It had been a long time since Listen Yu had promoted his new songs on Weibo.
But this time, he broke tradition by posting on Weibo, and the singer was Gong Ju Ren.
This silenced those who said Gong Ju Ren’s status would be affected by Dark Night Rabbit.
Listen Yu was the number one king of licking, seated firmly.
His status was very stable.
He had no rivals at all!
…
Qingming Festival.
Su Yu went with his parents to pay respects to their ancestors.
Then he had lunch with a group of relatives at his paternal aunt’s place.
Now, their noodle restaurant had a significant scale in Shuangqing City, and they had recruited enough staff. Normally, they didn’t have to do any of the work themselves. In addition, Gong Shi Xiong hot pot had a professional team to help operate it, so everyone could just sit back and collect money.
“I never thought we would have such leisurely days,” his paternal aunt said, beaming at the dinner table.
“Thanks to Xiao Yu!” his second uncle said, looking at Su Yu gratefully.
Many people, after becoming rich, forget their relatives and enjoy showing off in front of them.
But Su Yu was different. He did his best to help everyone become prosperous.
The relatives were not demanding. Their current lives were already very comfortable.
Especially his paternal aunt, not only was the noodle restaurant making money, but Gu Qianqian, a university student, was also about to become a nationally renowned director.
Everyone felt deeply grateful to Su Yu.
“What are you saying? We had such a difficult time before, and you all helped us through it. We are family, and there’s no need for formality,” Su Zhenguo waved his hand and then raised his glass.
The family members clinked glasses with him.
“Brother Xiao Yu, you have to tell me a story tonight. I want to hear about Snow White from yesterday!” Su Xiaoling said, holding a chicken leg and chewing, her voice muffled and cute.
“Didn’t I tell you about Snow White yesterday? How about I tell you the story of Cinderella today?” Su Yu said, affectionately rubbing her head.
“Cinderella?” Su Xiaoling’s bright eyes darted around. “Is it as good as Snow White?”
“Of course,” Su Yu nodded.
He knew Su Xiaoling was clever for her age and wasn’t too interested in fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood.
Cinderella, however, was quite good.
Su Yu planned to compile all the classic fairy tales, whether from the Brothers Grimm or Andersen, into one volume and publish a fairy tale collection.
When discussing new books with Zhou Sisi, he had also asked if the publisher had found anything. Zhou Sisi suggested that if he was confident, he should release it later because there was a "Fairy Tale King" competition. The first prize winner would have their book published by the official publisher, which was the largest publishing house in China, People’s Publishing House.
This was quite tempting for Su Yu. The title of "Fairy Tale King" and People’s Publishing House would be a direct takeoff.
So he agreed without hesitation.
However, if Su Xiaoling wanted to hear fairy tales, Su Yu could only tell her first.
During the two days he returned to his hometown, Su Yu told her bedtime stories every day.
“Xiao Yu can write children’s songs and tell fairy tales. In the future, if you and Yanyu have children, the task of raising them might fall to Xiao Yu,” his paternal aunt joked, talking about fairy tales.
Lin Yanyu, who was still eating, blushed slightly when she heard them discussing her and Su Yu’s children.
“It’s still early. Besides, raising children is a small matter to me,” Su Yu said, glancing at the shy Lin Yanyu, and then smiled.
He didn’t dislike children; on the contrary, he liked them very much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the patience to tell fairy tales to Su Xiaoling.
Su Yu felt that interacting with innocent children made him feel younger.
Although he was only around twenty years old, having lived two lives, his mindset was certainly more mature than his peers.
“Xiao Yu, have you and Yanyu considered when to have a wedding?” At this moment, his mother, Zhang Guizhi, finally found a topic to discuss Su Yu’s marriage.
“It seems Guizhi wants to hold her grandson,” his paternal aunt teased.
“I haven’t reached the age yet…” Su Yu felt Lin Yanyu pinch his thigh and quickly replied.
“Haven’t you heard the old saying? As long as it’s true love, age is not a problem. It’s just a wedding, right Yanyu?” Zhang Guizhi continued.
Once the older generation’s living pressures eased, they would naturally want to care about their children’s marriages.
Zhang Guizhi was naturally the same. With her current happy life, she had long wanted to add a healthy baby boy to the family. Although Su Yu was still in his sophomore year, his achievements had long made everyone overlook his age.
“Ah, this…” Lin Yanyu didn’t know how to answer when she heard this.
If she answered yes, it would seem too unreserved.
If she answered no, it would seem somewhat insincere.
After all, she felt the same way as Zhang Guizhi and didn’t care about age. She felt she was already Su Yu’s wife.
In their social circle, that certificate no longer represented anything.
“Mom, we’ll talk about it later. We’re going abroad soon, so where would we have time for a wedding? When the time is right, we’ll start preparing without anyone urging us,” Su Yu quickly said to resolve the situation.
He wasn’t prioritizing his career, nor was he worried about the timing of the wedding. After all, he did want to marry Lin Yanyu, and he knew Lin Yanyu was willing.
Lin Yanyu had given him a confession that all men in the country envied, and he had proposed to her with a God of Songs trophy in return.
As for the wedding, he and Lin Yanyu had discussed it before. They planned to hold a Han-style wedding.
When Su Yu first proposed it, Lin Yanyu was surprised but also filled with anticipation. Ten miles of dowry, a united couple – it all sounded so romantically cultural.
“Mom, even without a wedding, I consider you both my in-laws,” Lin Yanyu said, holding Su Yu’s hand, her face slightly red as she looked at Zhang Guizhi and her husband, then shyly lowered her head.
She looked forward to the wedding, but she could also vaguely sense that Su Yu still had unfinished business in his heart. She was waiting for the moment Su Yu finished his endeavors, and she knew that moment might not be far away.
Su Yu felt Lin Yanyu’s hand tremble slightly.
He tightened his grip.
There was a tacit understanding between them that required few words.
