This director lacks vision.

Chapter 27 Knowing
The weather in Yanjing today is sunny, with temperatures around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius.

After climbing the mountain for a while, everyone felt warm and took off their coats.

Gao Yuanyuan deliberately stretched, naturally revealing her mature and charming demeanor.

She may not be considered sexy, but she exudes femininity.

Noticing Jiang Yifeng's scrutiny, she said in a coquettish tone, "Director Jiang, it's inconvenient for me to carry my bag, could you help me with my coat?"

This is Gao Yuanyuan's tactic: appropriately showing weakness and acting coquettish to get men to do things for her, thereby bringing them closer together.

Upon hearing this, Naza immediately snorted coldly.

Jiang Yifeng took the coat from the hand and said with a smile, "Sorry, I have to take care of my girlfriend."

Jiang Yifeng's choice warmed Nazha's heart. She felt favored and happy, and a victorious smile appeared on her face.

Gao Yuanyuan wasn't sad either.

The more Jiang Yifeng adhered to male virtues, the more virtuous he seemed, and the more interested Gao Yuanyuan became.

After taking off her coat, Gao Yuanyuan's arms were exposed.

Fair-skinned, round, and plump.

Old-school female celebrities are like that; they have a healthier aesthetic sense and don't overdo dieting.

When Gao Yuanyuan walked next to Jiang Yifeng, she would deliberately stay very close, and her arm would occasionally touch Jiang Yifeng's.

Everyone was climbing the mountain, and their arms were covered in sweat.

This collision causes sweat to mingle, and Gao Yuanyuan enjoys this ambiguous friction.

Especially in front of the main character, Nazar, there is a very exciting feeling of stealing.

Jiang Yifeng was also enjoying it, but pretended not to know.

Climbing Mangshan Mountain is not difficult, as there are well-maintained roads.

The group walked and stopped, chatting and laughing, and after about two hours, they reached the top of the mountain.

It's April, and the forests are ablaze with green, with wildflowers blooming everywhere.

Standing on the mountaintop and looking down, you can also see the rippling blue waters of the Ming Tombs Reservoir, a beautiful spring scene full of vitality.

Everyone looked around and felt refreshed and relaxed.

Zhang Chaoyang shouted even more wildly, venting his inner emotions.

Seeing this, Gao Yuanyuan whispered, "I really envy President Zhang's carefree attitude. He can shout whenever he wants and freely express his emotions."

I just can't do it; I always feel like it would look ugly to shout it out.

Jiang Yifeng held Na Zha's small hand and said calmly, "Everyone has their own difficulties, there's nothing to envy."

Jiang Yifeng understood Zhang Chaoyang's mental state; he was still battling depression.

Since Zhang Chaoyang wouldn't voluntarily disclose the boss's personal information, Jiang Yifeng, as an employee and friend, naturally wouldn't go around talking about it.

Gao Yuanyuan asked, "What difficulties are you facing?"

Jiang Yifeng smiled but did not answer.

Of course, he also had his difficulties; people's rationality is forged through the harsh realities of life.

But Jiang Yifeng wouldn't say it, because it would be pointless.

Seeing this, Gao Yuanyuan didn't press the matter further, but instead said, "I always feel that your mental age is older than mine."

After saying that, Gao Yuanyuan put on her coat.

Once you reach the top of the mountain, the temperature drops.

A cold wind blew by, drying the sweat from her recent climb and causing her body temperature to drop rapidly. Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but shiver.

Even with a coat on, I still feel cold.

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Jiang Yifeng, pleading for help with her eyes.

But Jiang Yifeng ignored it and instead draped his coat over Naza's body.

Seeing that happy expression on Na Zha's face, Gao Yuanyuan felt a little sad and began to doubt her own judgment.

"Does Jiang Yifeng really have no feelings for me?"

Feeling depressed, Gao Yuanyuan became less talkative.

Jiang Yifeng ignored her and instead took out his camera to take pictures of Nazha.

When taking still photos like these, Naza is a goddess; she looks beautiful no matter how she's photographed.

Even the wind on the mountaintop cooperated, blowing away the strands of hair and adding a touch of charm.

Seeing how sweet Nazha and Jiang Yifeng looked, Gao Yuanyuan felt very envious.

She's been single for a while and really wants to be in a relationship.

If Jiang Yifeng hadn't suddenly appeared, Gao Yuanyuan would have accepted Yu Xiaowei's advances and started a relationship where the woman was stronger than the man.

He eventually died without any apparent cause.

Today, Nazar received preferential treatment and favoritism from Jiang Yifeng, and won a great victory in his struggle against Gao Yuanyuan.

I'm very happy.

Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan looked somewhat dejected, this silly girl actually said, "Uncle, you should go and check on Gao Yuanyuan."

"If she gets angry and runs away, you'll lose your date."

Hearing this, Jiang Yifeng was both moved and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

My ideal girlfriend is almost ready to be formed.

Jiang Yifeng handed the camera to Gao Yuanyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, could you take some photos for us?" "Sure."

Gao Yuanyuan took the camera and watched Jiang Yifeng and Nazha kiss on the mountaintop, recording this sweet moment with mixed feelings.

After staying on the mountaintop for half an hour, everyone descended the mountain together and arrived at a farm near the mountainside.

Zhang Chaoyang booked the entire place and organized mountaineering teams to drink tea, admire flowers, and eat farm-style dishes. Those who needed to could even stay overnight.

At 3 p.m., as planned, everyone used the farm's outdoor karaoke equipment to hold a simple karaoke party.

Li Huizhen, a professional singer, took the stage first and ignited the atmosphere with her signature song, "I Loved Yesterday to Death."

Everyone took turns going on stage to sing, and even Naza sang a death version of "Rewind".

After Naza finished singing, everyone knew the time was right, so they started to cheer and invited Zhang Chaoyang onto the stage.

Zhang Chaoyang was in high spirits and sang three songs in a row, drawing cheers from the crowd.

He looked smug. Seeing Jiang Yifeng clapping in the crowd, he picked up the microphone and said, "In terms of singing, our mountaineering team also has some experts."

Jiang Yifeng is not only a great singer, but also a songwriter.

The last time I sang with him, his song "Living" was so beautiful, I still remember it.

Xiao Jiang, stop hiding! Come up and sing a song!

Hearing Zhang Chaoyang's words, Jiang Yifeng was not intimidated. He picked up the guitar that Deng Ye had just used and walked onto the stage.

Naza was very proactive, immediately bringing Jiang Yifeng a stool and adjusting the microphone angle.

Their display of affection is truly enviable.

Jiang Yifeng only knows a little about playing the guitar; he learned it from a senior in the school choir.

I just didn't have much talent before, and I haven't practiced much since leaving the choir.

Now that I have a talent for dexterity, playing the guitar is actually quite easy for me. Although I'm still a bit rusty, I'm doing pretty well.

Ta-da! ...

A melodious and gentle tune began to play, and Jiang Yifeng started singing.

"Actually, when I was twenty, I was very idealistic and had dreams that would excite me even after I woke up."

A pot of wine, a backpack—that's all it takes to set sail; one step, and you're on your way to the distant horizon.
No direction matters, as free as the wind~
"I don't care about my hometown, I'm as free as the wind."

Jiang Yifeng isn't a professional singer, but his deep, resonant voice is well-suited for folk songs.

This song, "Zhiyi," is a folk song he loved in his past life. It is simple, sincere, and very healing, expressing the different feelings a man experiences as time goes by.

At twenty, I could just pack my bags and go, not caring about the direction or missing my hometown.

But when I turned thirty, my mindset changed.

"Actually, when I was thirty, there was still a girl I deeply loved by my side."

In the blink of an eye, time flies by, leaving me feeling lost and bewildered.
It doesn't matter, girl, be as free as the wind~
Disappointment doesn't matter, I'm as free as the wind~

Many of the members of the mountaineering team are senior executives of Sohu, and they are all middle-aged.

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's song "Zhiyi" at this moment, some people can relate to it.

The indifference of youth is like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, fearless of the world, believing that ideals can definitely be realized.

The indifference that comes with age is a compromise with life and ideals. We are all just ordinary people, and the dreams of our youth can never be realized.

Fortunately, life wasn't so bad; even in its ordinariness, there was still some flavor.

Although bound by various relationships, one can still yearn for freedom in their heart.

"Actually, at this age, I have unloaded my burdens, but I still firmly believe in my dreams."

A flower, a ray of light—look up, and there lies hope.
No direction matters, as free as the wind~
I have no ideals, I'm as free as the wind.

As he sang this part, the setting sun shone through the trees and shone directly on Jiang Yifeng's face, giving him a soft-focus effect.

Gao Yuanyuan felt like she had been struck, and her estrogen levels surged.

Folk songs, if they resonate with your brainwaves, will sound good to you.

People who don't get along with it will think it's just average.

Jiang Yifeng sang "Zhiyi" while playing the guitar. Some people in the audience thought it sounded good, while others didn't feel anything.

Zhang Chaoyang thought it was just so-so, and Naza didn't really understand either, she just thought her boyfriend was very handsome.

Gao Yuanyuan is one of those whose brainwaves are 100% compatible.

Youth, ideals, and freedom—these are the things that artistic young women love most.

Upon hearing this song, Gao Yuanyuan felt she understood Jiang Yifeng's predicament.

This seemingly rational and strong man also has moments of vulnerability and confusion.

But he remains a fighter who yearns for freedom.

"No one else understands him, only I understand this feeling, only I can enter his heart and give him healing and warmth."

This is the classic thought process of an artsy young woman.

After finishing his song, Jiang Yifeng said, "This song is called 'Knowing Each Other,' thank you."

"Understanding! Understanding and conveying meaning is something only a true friend can comprehend."

After hearing the song title, Gao Yuanyuan realized even more that her idea was correct.

She decided to be bold and take the initiative.
