After the boss went bankrupt, I raised him

Now that it was late at night, and there were no staff or studios nearby to take pictures, Huo Li had a keen sense of hearing, so he avoided the patrolling security guards and carried Chu Qing to the gazebo in the small park.

There are only cicadas chirping all around, and the night air is very fresh.

Anyway, it's better than being in a room with other people.

Huo Li and Chu Qing were sitting on the stone bench in the gazebo, Chu Qing was always submissive and let Huo Li take him out and put him on the chair.

Chu Qing was still holding the Rubik's Cube in his hand.

"sorry."

"It's okay, I can't sleep either." Huo Li put his overcoat on Chu Qing's body, and held Chu Qing's rough hands that were a little cold from the evening wind and had no gloves to cover them.

Chu Qing couldn't sleep either.

Huo Li asked, "Do you want to play games with me?"

Chu Qing shook her head slightly, not interested.

"Then accompany me to read the official document?"

Chu Qing continued to shake his head, he didn't have the spirit and didn't want to drag Huo Li's work.

If Chu Qing didn't read it, Huo Li would watch it by himself.

He read it as soon as he said it, and took out a document from his briefcase on the spot.

Chu Qing was relieved to see Huo Li like this, and without any psychological burden, he sat and twisted the Rubik's Cube by himself.

Huo Li looked sideways, and saw Chu Qing bowed his head, huddled up to play that simple and repetitive game, with a stubborn and serious expression.

This picture was a bit weird, and Huo Li asked warmly, "Where did this Rubik's Cube come from?"

Chu Qing didn't answer.

Huo Li reached out and rubbed the back of Chu Qing's head.

Chu Qing just sat like this all the time, looking at the spacious night sky and the forest next to him, surrounded by Huo Li's voice when he turned the pages, neither light nor heavy.

……

It was not until a long time later that Chu Qing put down the Rubik's Cube and said, "Mr. Huo..."

"En." Huo Li closed the document, looked at Chu Qing and said, "What's wrong?"

"I want to retire."

Huo Li said calmly, "Yes, but what do you want to do after retiring?"

"...I don't know." Chu Qing said, "I'm sorry."

"Try first." Huo Li held Chu Qing's hand, forcing Chu Qing to interlock his fingers and said, "You can see if you can do it tomorrow. If not, we will go home."

Chu Qing didn't speak.

Huo Li could feel the strength of Chu Qing's fingers tightening unconsciously, but he didn't say anything, he just lowered his eyes and said, "I will accompany you whatever you want, after all, you paid for me, right?"

Chu Qing lowered her head and said, "I want to go home and be alone.

"Then you should work hard for me?" Huo Li said, "What if we starve to death if you don't work?"

Chu Qing didn't speak.

"Qing Bao?"

Chu Qing took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

"What's there to be disappointed about?" Huo Li said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "The only thing I might be disappointed about is that you went out to find other wild men, which caused me to lose my job for nothing."

Chu Qing pouted.

This Huo Li likes to play hooligans...

"You go to bed now, and then go to the competition the next day, it's that simple. Don't be afraid, I'll still be here when the sky falls." Huo Li pulled him up.

Chu Qing tried her best to regain strength in her limbs, and followed Huo Li back to the room.

—Of course, it entered through the window.

Huo Li carried Chu Qing in and watched him lie down and slowly fall asleep before leaving. It was already past four o'clock when he left, and it was almost dawn.

So, the next day Chu Qing didn't wake up until the afternoon, and the others didn't dare to call, but Huo Li was reluctant.

The game is at night, and the preparation process of the players will be recorded during the day.

The show is broadcast live in a paid live broadcast, and those who pay can watch it later, and they don’t have to watch it, but there are still a lot of people in the live broadcast room at the moment, including Jiao Changxu, Li Tian, ​​and Chu Qing, Even at the beginning of the broadcast, the server almost failed to withstand it.

At this moment, seeing that all the contestants were practicing in front of the piano, or they were singing, only Chu Qing was still in bed, and everyone immediately had a reason to scold.

XXX: It’s not me who said, can you be more serious about participating in the competition?How many people squeezed their heads to be on the show, and he, Chu Qing, treated him perfunctorily just because he had a father?Alas, this world is really unfair.

XXX: Everyone else is practicing, you Qing is sleeping, you really have style, you are indeed a talented musician.Just wait until night to see him embarrassing.

XXX: Sister upstairs, even if he shows a pile of shit on stage, he will still go to the end, okay?We can only be forced to eat shit the whole time.

XXX: Hmm... This is a Chuqing road fan, maybe I'm really tired?Sometimes I sleep in when I'm tired. You are not other people's mothers, so don't worry about it, right?

XXX: That road fan above, please clear your mind!Chu Qing doesn't call it tired, does it?You don't know him. In the variety show after "Sword Master", he treated almost everyone like this. Let me tell you, it's like everyone owes him.

The program team was very satisfied, intentionally or unintentionally using Chu Qing to create topics.

Chu Qing didn't get up until after two o'clock in the afternoon, which is indeed an exaggeration, but at four o'clock in the show, the contestants began to prepare for makeup and change clothes. After Chu Qing finished washing, she only had less than an hour to prepare.

But Chu Qing had a good night's sleep, and is now much better.

Chu Qing replied to Huo Li's WeChat, and then practiced playing the piece a little to get familiar with it.

"You... okay?" An Yize, who was passing by, saw that Chu Qing was still looking leisurely, more like a pastime than practice, and frowned, "Shall I talk to the staff? Anyway, you were the last one to appear on the stage, and you stayed in the dormitory to practice during the other contestants' performances?"

"...Why?" Chu Qing was a little puzzled, couldn't he go there with other people?

"No... just worried that you need to practice."

"I don't need it." Chu Qing thought, didn't she decide what to perform at home before coming here?

"... Oh." An Yize doubted life again, feeling like he was worrying too much.

It's nice to have talent.

It was also An Yize who had a big heart and was entrusted to take care of him, otherwise most people would get angry after getting along with Chu Qing like this.

Afterwards, the contestants went to record the TV station together. Some contestants even listened to the earphones in the car for review, hummed softly, and made final preparations.

Everything went according to the process, and the recording went smoothly. The contestants performed on stage one by one, and finally the winner was decided based on the votes of the judges and the audience.

Chu Qing was watching with other contestants in the background, and he didn't comment, bluff, or do anything to attract the camera like others did. He almost made himself invisible, and the audience almost forgot that he was participating.

However, Chu Qing has always respected the other contestants, and watched them attentively throughout the process.

Just one night.

"Om."

When he was about to reach Chu Qing, Chu Qing felt his phone vibrate slightly.

It's Huo Li's WeChat.

Huo Li: Did you forget something?

Chu Qing:?

Chu Qing wondered, did he forget anything?

Huo Li: WeChat.

Chu Qing was stunned for a long moment before she understood what Huo Li said.

Chu Qing curled her lips slightly.

Chu Qing: Mr. Huo, I have participated in the competition, which is a creative and singing competitive program.I've drawn the last one and I'm about to go out.

Just like what Chu Qing did in the past, she told Huo Li everything, a sense of ritual like checking in.

Huo Li replied as usual.

Huo Li: Okay, come on.

I don't know why, but after saying that, Chu Qing felt her heart settled down.Although he wasn't very nervous at first, his state of mind is slightly different now.

I can't tell the difference, but it seems to have a sense of ritual blessing.

"The competition is coming to an end, let's invite our last contestant——Chu Qing!"

The host began to introduce Chu Qing's past achievements and talent in music.

The barrage painting style changes suddenly.

XXX: Come on, come on, hehe, let's see what tricks he can conjure up.

XXX: It's so annoying. Why hasn't he disappeared yet?

XXX: Wait... the host just said that he sang "Wish"?

"Wish", a song contracted by countless people.

At this moment, Chu Qing had already stood on the stage.

Chu Qing is wearing a white suit today, and the inner shirt is soft aqua blue.The white coat cuts the body shape well, and the gestures are calm and breezy. Some people may say that this is not caring, but it can also be said that they are confident on stage and not nervous at all.

It looks like an angel who accidentally fell into the world, without any vulgar fireworks.

Then, Chu Qing sat down and lightly rested her fingers on the keys.

When other players put their fingers on the instrument, others will feel, oh, he is about to start playing, or it can be seen that this person has practiced for a long time, the technique is proficient, or the technique is not perfect enough.

But Chu Qing is different from other players. When he touches a musical instrument, his movements are as natural as breathing; when he plays, there is no skill, no high and low, only music.

Very, very pure music.

It's like someone who grew up immersed in music, like being one with the music, nothing else at all.

XXX: Tsk tsk, although the personality is spicy, but I have to deny that the musical talent is higher than rio

XXX: ...It’s really full of memories. When he first debuted, this song became popular all over the country. I listened to it every day in high school.

XXX: You? ?No matter how good the work is, don't forget the character of others!

XXX: But aren’t artists and artworks originally separate...and few of the famous artists in the past were perfect in character.

The barrage is already noisy.

Indeed, the song "Wish" was too popular at the beginning, and it was a kind of sentimental memory that contracted many people's love memories. Now that Chu Qing sings it again, it can naturally dilute the malice that was originally aimed at him.

Then Chu Qing finally began to sing.

May you be safe and sound, free from disasters and difficulties.

May you be brighter than the sun and higher than the moon...

May time bring you the gift of happiness

May time also wash away all your wounds...

The lyrics are plain and simple, but with the melody they seem very sincere. The person who sings this song is using a very gentle tone to give blessings to the person he loves, maybe after parting or in love.Maybe it's a relative, maybe a lover, but there is no doubt that the singing voice, melody and lyrics, when put together, can only hope for the other party's good sincerity.

Chu Qing once said that he wanted to give this song to someone, but not a lover, although it is defined as love.

Standing in the background, Huo Li looked at Chu Qing, seeing his leisurely voice with his eyes closed but still able to find the keys of the piano, listening to his clear singing.

Huo Li bent his fingers slightly and clenched them into a fist.
