I was slacking off on a dating reality show when the female guests treated me like a treasure chest.

Chapter 94 Haikou

Chen Nian sat down on the stage. It was a small stage, but there were quite a few musical instruments prepared.

There is a guitar and a piano.

At this moment, a waiter came up with a camera and asked, "What kind of background music would you like?"

Chen Nian thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "No need, I can play and sing by myself."

After saying that, he chose the piano.

The waiter paused for a moment upon hearing this, then turned on the camera and set it up to face Chen Nian.

"The piano, that piece 'Twilight'?" Xia Yao walked over with a cocktail in her hand, moved a chair over and sat down not far from him, looking somewhat curious.

"It's so dark now, dusk won't do," Chen Nian said with a slight smile, and the next moment, he placed his hands on the piano keys.

Xia Yao nodded thoughtfully. She looked at Chen Nian and thought to herself, "Why doesn't this guy sing other people's songs?"

However, the moment the melody began, it slowly spread out and reached outside the bar.

Several people who were searching for him and Xia Yao heard the noise and walked towards the bar. When Liu Ting, Zhou Yu, Su Xiao and the others walked in, Chen Nian, who was sitting in front of the piano, had already started playing.

Haikou City, Hainan Province.

If there's one song that perfectly captures the moment, it's probably "Haikou".

"There's no 'if' in Haikou's dictionary; lovers compose sentences with heroic flair."

"If love is like the bright moon, the moon would dare to forget its waning for you..."

Silently covering your tearful eyes, you didn't see the world end.

"Childhood defeats painkillers, old couple watches can't turn back the clock..."

When he first heard this song, he was still a child. In the blink of an eye, he has been reborn.

Chen Nian's soft, clear voice echoed through the bar, completely unaware that five women were already sitting next to him.

"Her hands were trembling, and she was frantically rewriting the ending, trying to gloss over the problems..."

"All of this came to a halt on the night the typhoon struck."

"I made a boast to you,"

"My heart dripped into amber for you, and after it cooled, a thousand years later, ten thousand years later..."

"Love remains clear and transparent."

"The receding tide in Haikou, an old man's home."

"The boat doesn't reach the lover's dock."

"Words cannot be contained, at the end of the sea, after saying goodbye... wave them into the ocean current of tears."

Under the soft light, Chen Nian's profile was illuminated. This was the first time the five beauties had seen Chen Nian sing so gently.

He had sung and played instruments a few times before, but never before had he been so captivating.

Su Xiao stood behind him with her hands behind her back. This was the second time she had seen this figure up close. The last time was a few years ago when she passed by a recording studio and saw Chen Nian sitting in front of the piano, holding his head in despair.

She thought Chen Nian was a singer like her, and she could understand the pain of not being able to go further.

However, it took her a long time after receiving the song from Chen Nian that she realized that the figure she had seen that day was Chen Nian.

Su Xiao had always wanted to ask whether he was suffering from the inability to become a singer, or from the hardships he faced on the path of songwriting.

Now, perhaps the result has been reached.

She wanted to tell him more than just thank him for giving her that song... Su Xiao placed her hand on her chest, her heart pounding wildly.

But she knew she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Liu Ting and Zhou Yu exchanged a glance, both looking on incredulously surprised.

As singers, they understand all too well what this means.

later...

us...

Then that night, he sang "Chrysanthemum Terrace" in the coffee shop...

Any one of these three songs is of extremely high quality, especially "Later" and "Chrysanthemum Terrace".

If these two songs could be arranged in a matching way, they would undoubtedly be songs of the highest caliber.

What would happen if Chen Nian could perfect these three songs?

The two of them only needed to think for a moment, and a clear picture came to mind. These three songs were enough to make him famous in the music industry.

But now, Chen Nian has released a fourth song.

However, the two of them forgot that Xia Yao had witnessed Chen Nian's fourth song, and this was the fifth song she had heard.

In just half a month, the guy who met me that morning and said he had written two hundred songs but hadn't published a single one, sang five amazing songs in that short period of time.

No wonder he said he writes two hundred songs a year.

Xia Yao stuck out her tongue, then smiled slightly, thinking that this guy was just as amazing as she was.

The music continued. Chen Nian took a deep breath and then began to finish.

"I made a boast to you,"

"My heart has dripped into amber for you."

"After things cooled down, after hearts cooled down, the optimists of yesteryear died long ago..."

The sudden change in tone gave everyone present goosebumps, and they stared at Chen Nian in shock.

As the music faded away, the melody that had been echoing in the bar came to an abrupt end. Chen Nian sighed, then looked at the camera, thinking that if he couldn't get the 100,000 yuan, he would come to Haikou and jump into the sea.

As a music lover, he later remembered the song's author and searched for him, only to find that he had already faded into obscurity during his peak.

That night, he researched a lot of information and felt deeply regretful.

"Slap slap slap"

"~~

applause.

Chen Nian was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look. When he saw several figures standing beside him, his face changed in shock, his mouth agape in disbelief!

Like a silly goose!

"puff!"

"What's wrong? We're not ghosts, why are you so scared?" Tang Xi said speechlessly.

"That's right, we haven't even mentioned that you two sneaked out on a date." Liu Ting nodded in agreement.

Just then, the waiter came to his senses and pressed the button to end the recording.

Chen Nian snapped out of his daze and looked at the waiter beside him, saying, "The last part wasn't recorded, was it?"

The waiter smiled and said, "No, we were just recording when you finished singing."

"That's good..." Chen Nian wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was almost scared out of his wits by these guys, who appeared beside him silently.

"It sounds so good!" Su Xiao said from behind.

"6

"...Chen Nian turned around and looked at her. "Are you hiding behind me to give me a scare?"

"Hehe..." Su Xiao scratched his head sheepishly and pulled up a chair to sit down.

In an instant, five girls surrounded him, looking at him curiously.

"Keep going!" Tang Xi said.

"Continue with what?" Chen Nian asked, puzzled.

"Keep singing, one more song!" Tang Xi said expectantly. She thought Chen Nian sang quite well, but strangely, he sounded better than Qi Feng and Li Tian.

"I'm here to record for the prize money, what's the point of continuing?" Chen Nian was speechless. After the recording ended, he asked the waiter how he found out the result.

The waiter then brought him paper and pen and asked him to write down his name and phone number. He said that when the results came out, they would ask him for his bank card to transfer the money.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ting and Zhou Yu realized that this was an event with a substantial prize, and they were immediately eager to participate.

"No...you guys shouldn't participate," Chen Nian pleaded. He had a feeling that if these two joined, he would have no chance.

"No, unless we get some," Liu Ting said.

"Yes, Xia Yao, did you get a share?" Zhou Yu asked.

Xia Yao chuckled and nodded. Immediately, the other four frowned slightly and looked at Chen Nian, demanding an explanation from him.

"No, it's only 100,000 in total..." Chen Nian said helplessly.

"Then let's make it 20,000 each. It's settled then. We'll keep an eye on the results," Liu Ting said seriously.

Chen Nian was on the verge of tears. How did these four guys end up here?

The six then returned to their seats. Chen Nian took a sip of his cocktail and, looking at the chattering group, asked curiously, "What are you all doing here? Where are Li Tian and the others?"

"Um, we're just a few girls out for some fresh air, so we won't be taking them with us," Liu Ting said.

"Then why are we staying here?" Chen Nian muttered.

"Please, you want to kick us out just because we're sitting down for a drink?" Zhou Yu raised her eyebrows and glared at him. "Besides, we're here to see Xia Yao."

"Um, I don't need you to come looking for me," Xia Yao said quietly.

"No, you need it!" After saying that, several girls glared at her with murderous intent.

"Yes, I need it," Xia Yao changed her mind.

Seeing this, Chen Nian sighed helplessly. He glanced at the menu, preparing to add another item to his order, when the waiter approached and, before he could speak, asked, "We need to give the video a title. What was the name of that song you just heard?"

"Oh, I don't think I mentioned that?" Chen Nian pondered for a moment after hearing this, then decided it was best not to change it carelessly, and said, "Let's call the song 'Haikou'."

"Haikou?" The waiter was somewhat surprised, then nodded repeatedly, "Okay."

He had a feeling that this song would be a huge hit in Haikou, and he couldn't wait to upload it.

Outside the window, the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Half an hour later, the six of them moved to outdoor seats. Liu Ting and the others walked barefoot on the sand, picked up stones from the ground, and wrote words on the beach.

With the help of the lights, Chen Nian saw the words written on the beach and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hearing the laughter behind her, Liu Ting turned around and glared at him, saying, "What's wrong? You won't let me become a movie queen and a singer?"

"Exactly! It's possible for me to become a world-class piano master!" Xia Yao said indignantly.

"My wish is simple, I don't ask for much, just to be a world-class singer," Zhou Yu muttered seriously.

Seeing this, Tang Xi rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "I'm telling you guys, can't you learn from Su Xiao? Her wishes are so simple and unpretentious, she just wants to be happy."

"Hey, your wish for the Oscar isn't much simpler than ours!" Zhou Yu and Liu Ting said, then scooped up a handful of sand and filled it with Tang Xi's wish.

"Ah! My little golden man!" Tang Xi exclaimed upon seeing this, pulling up her trouser leg and joining the fray.

For a moment, several beautiful figures were chasing each other on the beach.

The next moment, a wave crashed in, and in the blink of an eye, the five people's wishes were shattered.

Chen Nian shook his head, looking at the wish he had written at his feet, and sighed, "This is what you call simple and unpretentious. My demands are modest: to marry a rich and beautiful woman and reach the pinnacle of life!"

"Hey!" The response he received was the merciless trampling of five long legs.
