0713: You who shine in the parallel world

Chapter 241 The Happiness of 7 People

Despite the controversy, the discussion on the lyrics continues.

If "You Deserve It" is a conversation between brothers and a release from the past, "Fireworks for Mid-Autumn Festival" is a song of comfort to those who are away from home, then now "Where is Happiness" should be a joyful song that conveys happiness and invites people to party together.

So they quickly decided that the theme this time should revolve around the word "happiness", and regarded the song title as an open question, and the lyrics as its answer.

Speaking of happiness, Lu Hu thinks they can each talk about what they feel is the happiest thing recently.

It was just like the late-night chats they had around the table in the Mushroom House, and also like the late-night chats around the fire on the beach in the first season of Kuaifa. The difference was that this time they didn't have to talk about such sad topics. Tonight, they only talked about happiness.

"Let me talk about my life first." Lu Hu suggested, so he volunteered to start with his own life. "The happiest thing I've experienced recently is meeting a group of people who love their lives in the Northeast."

Yu Yu smiled. This angle looked very Land Rover-like.

"Just like Sister Wang, whom we met on the first day, she works in the fields every day and runs her own workshop, getting up early and going to bed late. Many people cannot endure such a life, but she can. Even when she gets up in the early morning to go to the market, it is not because she has to do so, but because she likes to do so. She lives a happy life."

The others nodded unconsciously.

It is true that more and more people are moving from rural areas to big cities, and Sister Wang already has the capital to enjoy a comfortable retirement life in the city, but she insists on staying in the countryside because there she has the ordinary and unforgettable life that she loves.

"For example, our tour guide, Brother Jia." Lu Hu mentioned the tour guide who took them on a one-day tour in Ice City. "He once said that many people have left the tourism industry, and the number of tour guides is decreasing. He is the only one left among his friends of the same period."

"But he still does this job, even though the income may not seem that good. I think if he doesn't have a passion for what he does, he won't be able to stick with it for so long. And his explanations and introductions are very professional. Even though we only had half a day to visit, he didn't just take us on a quick tour."

"I think no matter who they are, when they are doing what they love and living a good life, they are shining. Brother Liang was shining just now, and Sister Wang, Brother Jia and others are also shining. Ordinary people always have their own light."

When Lu Hu said these words, the smile on his face and the sparkling eyes were filled with tenderness that could not be concealed. This was Lu Hu, a tiger who would keep his heart soft for anyone. Even if he was hurt sometimes because of being too soft, he would not respond with malice towards the other party.

Yu Yu couldn't help but add more tea to Lu Hu.

Wang Yuexin, who was sitting next to him, also sighed: "Actually, what Brother Hu said just now is also part of what I want to say. Just like I cried so hard just now..."

"That's more than amazing, it's like a waterfall." Chen Qisheng joked.

Yu Yu always felt that this sentence sounded familiar: "Although, but, isn't the waterfall you, Sheng brother?"

Chen Qisheng immediately turned to look at Yu Yu and clarified: "That's impossible."

But his eyes clearly said: Shut up!

Yu Yu nodded and pretended to respond with an attitude of "yes, yes, yes, okay, I understand, I understand everything":

"Okay, then maybe I got it mixed up. I remembered Brother Feng as you... I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Don't hit anyone. If you want to hit someone, go hit Zhao Hao first. Yue Xin, keep talking. Don't let Brother Sheng interrupt you. Brother Sheng, look at you. You're so mean. Yue Xin hasn't even finished talking yet. Why are you butting in?... I'm wrong. Shut up! Shut up right now. No tickling allowed, hahahaha!"

The Brother Feng that Yu Yu mentioned refers to Huang Shao Feng, the lead singer of Mars Radio. Chen Xisheng often collaborates with Mars Radio to produce songs, and his latest album was also produced in collaboration with them. Since Chen Xisheng would sometimes look for Yu Yu to discuss music before, Yu Yu also got to know Huang Shao Feng, though they were not particularly familiar with each other. It was not until Chen Xisheng also looked for Mars Radio to cooperate in the production of "Dream Bridge" that Yu Yu became more familiar with Huang Shao Feng.

"Are you a waterfall?" is Huang Shaofeng's classic quote to mock Chen Tansheng.

After being teased by Yu Yu, Wang Yuexin suppressed her laughter and continued, "I want to say that I didn't cry so hard just now because I was sad or something. I really admire you guys. With a group of you guys who are neither young nor old around, how can you be so sentimental? You guys ruined the atmosphere one by one! I just felt touched and moved at that moment. The underlying emotion was actually happiness."

"Hmm? Why do I feel like Mr. Wang is targeting me?" Su Xing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wang Yuexin spread her hands and said, "I can't stop someone from taking the initiative to identify themselves with the name."

"In short, at that moment just now, I was sincerely happy for you, Brother Liang. I want everyone to know that you are really outstanding. You, all of us," Wang Yuexin made a circle to include all the brothers, "are all very outstanding! I am really proud and happy in my heart. I feel that the moment you played the accordion, I can just walk sideways on the street. When people ask me for directions, I always ask, 'How did you know Wang Zhengliang is my brother?'"

Wang Zhengliang was so coaxed by Wang Yuexin that he almost couldn't see. He said, "Is it really that exaggerated?" The accordion in his hand played the main melody of "Where is Happiness" again, which made Wang Yuexin's mind light up and sing along: "You ask where happiness is, and the accordion creates ripples."

When the brothers heard this, they immediately cried out in praise of the phrase and asked Su Xing to write it down so that they could use it when they were working on the phrase together in the future. Su Xing, who was regarded as an "administrator at the meeting" by these brothers, raised his head inexplicably, and then showed them his tablet. On the left side of the tablet was a football game, and on the right side was a note. It was obvious that he had already started to record his inspiration and write "meeting minutes".

"Mr. Su is still reliable." Yu Yu cupped his hands.

"You're just kidding. Among the seven people present, besides me who brought tools to record, do you think there is anyone else among you who has the awareness like me to record lyrics at will?" Su Xing snorted and looked quite proud.

"That's because there are several GoPro camera positions here. When we're done, we can directly ask the director team for tonight's footage." Zhang Yuan pointed at the camera facing them while laughing. The mockery in his tone was too obvious. He was obviously mocking Su Xing for pretending to be so cool and hardworking but in fact it was a waste of time.

After a few jokes and banter, Wang Zhengliang brought the topic back to himself. He believed that every moment with his brothers in the past few days was actually quite happy, but if you asked him which moment was the happiest moment closest to the present moment, he thought he would choose just now, when he was playing the accordion and his brothers gathered around him, singing or dancing, in a lively and unrestrained moment.

It had nothing to do with his brothers' well-intentioned and proud flattery and admiration, it was just because at that moment, his younger brothers were all very happy, and he believed that they would have countless happy moments together in the future, and he was very happy to have the company of such a group of good brothers.

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but raise his hand and high-five Wang Zhengliang. He felt that Wang Zhengliang had directly said everything he wanted to say.

"I really feel that I am the lucky person to have your company." Maybe it was because the tea was right, or maybe it was because the atmosphere was right. Zhang Yuan, who rarely revealed his inner thoughts in front of the camera before, now seemed to have countless words to say to the six people in front of him. However, he didn't know where to start, so he could only turn his hands excitedly.

"Happiness is actually a positive emotion. Many small things can make people happy, just like I will feel happy for completing a song, dancing a dance, or receiving a lot of small jobs. But in fact, happiness is fleeting. It is very short-lived and will always be disturbed by various other emotions. Sometimes I even stop at a shallow level because I always worry that if I indulge in this momentary emotion too much, how can I face other moments?"

Lu Hu nodded gently, smiled warmly at Zhang Yuan, raised his glass and said, "I understand, Yuan Yuan, I understand this feeling."

"Right?" Zhang Yuan clinked glasses with Lu Hu. Although he was smiling, the brothers who knew him well knew that he was actually trying to control his emotions so as not to cry again. "I even wondered if we were a good match. Everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches the extreme. Will there be more troubles waiting for me next? But now I feel that if there is any happiness that can become sustainable, it is to have a group of brothers who have been together for many years. Even if I have to be cautious, you are still by my side..."

"Thank you, really. Although it may sound corny, I have to say that I am really happy to have you by my side all the time."

The seven people couldn't help but raise their glasses together. Zhang Yuan first clinked glasses with Yu Yu beside him, and then toasted with the others. Although he didn't say it, Yu Yu knew what he meant, because he had heard him mention before that his father's condition had stabilized and he believed that if he continued to receive treatment for a few more years, his condition would gradually improve, or even be completely cured.

He was happy from the bottom of his heart to have a brother like Yu Yu.

Seeing that the originally happy atmosphere had somehow turned a little sad, Su Xing said to Zhang Yuan in a teasing and comforting tone: "Actually, what you said is not rigorous enough. Maybe when you were together with us at the beginning, you might have considered whether we were a good match, but fifteen years have passed and you should be thinking more about whether you are annoying each other after being together for such a long time."

The brothers laughed knowingly, and Zhang Yuan also cooperated by yelling: "Su Xing, are you annoying?"

"Actually, Allen is right. After so much time has passed, no matter how strong the friendship is, it is no longer friendship but has become family affection. It's normal for friends to be polite and distant in the beginning, but how can brothers never get tired of each other?" Yu Yu seemed to be agreeing with Su Xing, but in fact he was also admitting in disguise that he had already regarded these six brothers as his family.

"Yuanyuan said she was happy to have our company, and I was also happy that I made the two most important decisions. One was the queue with soy milk and fried dough sticks fifteen years ago, and the other was the plane landing in China nine months ago."

Yu Yu looked at his brothers with a big smile on his face, and his brothers' smiling faces were reflected in his eyes one by one.

Chen Xinsheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The alcohol might make him feel dizzy and sleepy, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

"Just now, it was actually my happiest moment." He spoke slowly in a soft voice, "I saw the shining Liang Ge, I saw Hu Zi who showed true love to others, I saw Yue Xin who was getting happier and happier as she walked out of the darkness, I also saw Yuan Yuan who was expressing herself, and Xing who took care of our emotions in her own way, and Yu who was always there."

“It’s really, really beautiful.”

Su Xing understands Chen Tansheng, just like Lu Hu understands Zhang Yuan.

"So, we are together, no matter how many storms we have experienced, no matter how many ups and downs we have gone through, no matter whether it is beautiful or painful, in the moment when we accidentally look up, our brothers are always by our side, and this is also my happiness." Su Xing's slightly lowered tone sounded particularly sincere.

“Yes, this is also our happiness.”

Everyone said in unison.
