Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

"The alleyway style is tough."

Ye Ranzhi's gaze then fell on the trembling Qi Luoan. "Don't talk in the wind. Come in, the tea is getting cold."

Wearing so little on purpose, is she worried I won't let Yu Wei into the house or something? This girl, she's got some nerve, only caring about protecting men...

This is exactly the same as her back then.

Upon hearing this, Qi Luoan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly took Yu Wei's hand and led her into the house, as if afraid that his grandmother would change her mind.

Grandma doesn't see outsiders. Once Yu Wei enters this door, it means that from now on, he is part of the family.

Stepping over the stone threshold, the courtyard comes into view. The courtyard is square, clean and dust-free, and a vigorous pomegranate tree stands out.

The main room was bright and clean, and through the glass, the outline of a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) could be vaguely seen, covered with a dark velvet cloth.

Yu Wei was truly amazed. To be honest, he had only ever seen such an elegant courtyard house in TV dramas.

Ye Ranzhi led them into the house, where the furnishings were simple and elegant. The most eye-catching thing was the ancient zither covered with velvet on the west wall.

The east wall presented a completely different scene: an old-fashioned flat-topped table, made of dark ebony, with a bronze incense burner and two plates of fresh fruit on it, and an enlarged black-and-white photograph hanging above it.

This is……

The man in the photo is wearing a crisp Zhongshan suit, with his hair neatly combed back, clear features, and a gentle smile on his lips.

His eyes were bright, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the years, quietly looking at the people in the room.

This is Chen Ping, whom Yu Wei naturally recognizes. As a superstar, his photos are available all over the internet, but this is the first time Yu Wei has seen him in black and white.

In the photo, fine incense ash has accumulated in the incense burner, and several bundles of unlit incense sticks are neatly stacked around the burner.

Ye Ranzhi walked to the table, took out three slender sticks of incense from a small sandalwood box beside it, and turned to hand them to the three of them.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is the time to offer incense to the deceased, and Yu Wei was there nonetheless...

Putting aside his seniority, it was only right to offer incense when visiting someone's home, so Yu Wei did not refuse and lit the incense as well.

Ye Ranzhi stepped back half a step, turned her gaze to them, and looked at them with a gentle and encouraging expression.

At this moment, Yu Wei had no intention of joking around. He solemnly lit the incense and looked at the photo with exceptional sincerity.

Thank you, senior!

Without this person changing the timeline, he wouldn't have had much room to maneuver, so he really needs to thank them properly...

Ye Ranzhi's gaze remained fixed on Yu Wei, especially after Yu Wei respectfully offered incense; the old man's gaze became increasingly undisguised.

"Grandpa, look who I've brought!"

Qi Yuan suddenly spoke, his voice filled with a strong sense of pride. He spoke softly and confidently, with a hint of pride that only his closest confidants could perceive.

He said that taking his grandfather as a role model was no joke; in his eyes, this relative he had never met was his lifelong goal.

Qi Luoan couldn't help but roll his eyes. What do you mean he brought it? Shouldn't it have been brought by himself?

Without her connection, even ten of my brothers probably couldn't get Yu Wei to cooperate...

"Come and sit."

A white porcelain tea set was laid out on the table. The tea was clear and steaming. Ye Ranzhi sat down first and poured tea for them.

She pushed the teacup towards Yu Wei, raised her eyes, and her bright eyes held a knowing smile. "My girl isn't very obedient, and you've suffered."

"grandmother!"

Qi Luo'an immediately became unhappy. How had she been disobedient? Since being with Yu Wei, she had always been completely compliant...

Yu Wei accepted the teacup with both hands. He knew that such words were just polite formalities and he wouldn't take them seriously, so he simply changed the subject.

"I've arrived too early and disturbed your rest."

"As people get older, they need less sleep."

Ye Ranzhi picked up her cup of tea and gently blew on it. "It's you young people who are so thoughtful to get up so early on the first day of the lunar new year."

She took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and her gaze fell on Yu Wei's face again, this time with a gentler, more inquisitive look.

I've seen you on TV several times before, but you look even more energetic than I expected.

Ye Ranzhi held Qi Luoan's hand, but her gaze remained on him. "Don't be fooled by how fearless An'an is now. When she was little, she was quite timid."

"The first time she performed on stage, she was backstage tugging at my clothes and refused to come out. Later, I gently pushed her and she finally got under the lights."

"Grandma, please don't..."

Qi Luoan tried to stop him in a low voice, clearly a little embarrassed.

The classic "meeting the parents and revealing your past" segment involves uncovering your embarrassing childhood secrets. She'll only know these things once in a while, and you won't find another opportunity like this.

Yu Wei loved listening to this, especially the part where Qi Luoan sang like he was going for a drive during his teeth-changing period; it was hard for him not to laugh.

When talking about her granddaughter, Ye Ranzhi is no different from any other ordinary old lady. This gentle and kind aura is far more genuine than that of any old artist.

As she spoke, a soft light of reminiscence flashed in her eyes, as if she could see that small figure again before her.

"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now, it's her turn to bring people under my lamp."

"senior……"

"Don't call me senior, just call me grandma. I'm not an outsider."

The fact that they changed their address right away caught Yu Wei off guard; Old Qi and Aunt Chen hadn't even reached that stage yet. Since they had already said that, Yu Wei could only wisely change her address, calling her "Grandma" repeatedly, which left the Qi siblings a little bewildered.

It feels like they're not involved at all.

The sun outside the window was higher, and its light slanted across the dark velvet, where dust motes could be seen moving slowly and silently within the beams of light.

It's time to leave. Since it's a visit, I can't just stay and not leave. Yu Wei has a lot of things to do when I get back.

The anticipated art exchange did not take place; Ye Ranzhi did not discuss music at all, nor did she mention the Spring Festival Gala last night.

However, this proves that she truly approves of herself, since who would have the time to talk about art with their family...

Hearing that Yu Wei was leaving, Ye Ranzhi responded but did not say anything to stop him. She simply stood up steadily, holding onto the edge of the table.

"You may stay a little longer, but you young people have a lot to do, so you should go and get back to your work."

Ye Ranzhi stopped the Qi siblings who were about to leave together, saying that she had something to give them. Yu Wei keenly noticed the meaningful look in the old man's eyes, and it seemed that the real show was about to begin.

She got up and walked towards her room, her back straight, her steps slow but rhythmic.

A moment later, she returned, but her hands were not empty; she had two somewhat old envelopes, bulging with something inside.

Yu Wei and Qi Luoan didn't recognize this item, but Qi Yuan was very familiar with it. It was a sacred relic, and it was likely to contain another fine piece of art.

Did Grandma prepare this especially for him because she knew he didn't have a song to perform in the "Top Idol" competition?
Qi Luo'an belatedly realized... Why is she involved? She didn't have any opportunity to shine, giving her this would be a waste.

"Here you go, you did well last night."

Yu Wei definitely didn't have a share in this, but he also understood what Ye Ranzhi meant. They weren't strong enough before, but their performance last night gave them the qualifications to take over the project.

Is there a challenge involved in passing down a family business?

The two received the envelopes with different expressions. Qi Luoan looked slightly confused, while Qi Yuan couldn't suppress his laughter.

Yu Wei, in any case, dared not underestimate this thing. Don't be fooled by his two victories; take a look at what kind of work he used.

He only managed to win two games with works of the caliber of "The Ordinary Road" and "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," which shows how strong his opponents were.

In a typical game, he might have been wiped out by deathrattles long ago...

However, since both of them are on our side this time, we don't need to think about countermeasures; we'll see how things go first.

"You probably don't need what the old man left behind."

Seeing Yu Wei's intense gaze, Ye Ranzhi jokingly explained, "You won't get a turn this time. We'll see next time."

Yu Wei nodded in agreement. This thing was indeed useless to him; he couldn't unleash his full potential by singing directly. It was much better to exchange for it.

"grandmother……"

Qi Luoan held up the envelope, seemingly realizing that what he was about to say was inappropriate, "Can I give this to someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei and Qi Yuan were both stunned. This was a representative work, and with Chen Ping's title, it should sell for at least seven figures.

Just give it to someone if you say so?

It wasn't easy for Elder Chen to leave behind his fortune, so we can't just squander it like this... This spendthrift granddaughter.

Ye Ranzhi nodded upon hearing this. Once the letter was handed over, it was no longer her concern; how the recipient used it was their business.

She wasn't even surprised. An An had been out of the entertainment industry for so long, so this thing was really useless to her. It was better for it to shine for others than to be kept as a family heirloom.

"Let's go, I'll see you to the door."

As Ye Ranzhi spoke, she took the lead and walked outside.

In the courtyard, the sunlight had just moved to the old pomegranate tree, making it warm and cozy. This was undoubtedly good news for Qi Luoan, who was always dressed haphazardly.

Ye Ranzhi stopped in front of the screen wall inside the courtyard gate.

She didn't step out the door; she simply turned around to face them, a calm and knowing smile on her face.

"Be careful on the road, come again when you have time."

The three turned around, pushed open the half-closed door, and stepped onto the bluish-gray pavement. Before they had taken more than a few steps, Qi Luoan handed him the envelope.

"Ok?"

After all that, it turns out she wanted to give it to him. Yu Wei decided to take back his previous assessment. What wasteful! This is an exceptionally good granddaughter!
They hadn't even left Ye Ranzhi's sight when Yu Wei looked back and found the old man still standing there, smiling and watching.

She seemed completely unconcerned about it...

"Don't you fucking give it to me!"

Qi Yuan couldn't hold back any longer. You think you can just give away family heirlooms like that? You can give them away as soon as you want them, but Yu Wei hasn't even asked for them yet.

Besides, he doesn't lack this stuff. It's better to give it to him, and let his grandson carry on his grandfather's legacy!
“It was given to me by my grandma, and I can give it to whomever I want.”

Qi Luoan knew that Yu Wei was quite interested in this thing. Since he had no use for it himself, he might as well show it to him.

Actually, Yu Wei wasn't of much use. He was just curious about what was inside, and it wouldn't hurt to buy the box and return the pearl after seeing it.

After walking a distance, he took a deep breath and carefully opened the envelope, inside which was a stack of manuscripts.

It's definitely going to be a song, but Yu Wei is just curious whether there will be any familiar lines in the lyrics.

The song is called "Night Flight," and the melody looks like a pop song. Yu Wei quickly found the key to it after a quick glance.

The manuscript was somewhat hastily written, but the handwriting at the key points was very meticulous, and it boldly read: "Stars light my way, illuminating my future." (End of Chapter)
