I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 331 The Tragedy of Ceasefire

"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Xian. I'm a full-time seller, a part-time cook, an occasional singer, a storyteller, and sometimes an actor."

"Recently, there has been a lot of commotion surrounding me. It's like the tree wants to be still, but the wind won't stop. People seem to be a bit too hostile. This is not good. We should believe in 'love and peace'."

In a first-person, horizontal shot, Ye Xian, dressed in an old Jinwuwei uniform, stands amidst ruins. The upward-angled shot casts a dark shadow over the ruins, while Ye Xian is bathed in a dazzling light.

The contrast between sunlight and shadow makes this opening shot very special.

The camera pans up, revealing four large handwritten characters against the dark sky.

"The Tragedy of Ending War"

Small print below: Lyrics/Music/Singing by Ye Xian

The scene shifts to sunlight streaming in. Ye Xian, wearing a tank top, stands on a slice of watermelon, busily moving and packing it with the employees of Qiuye Yanxuan.

A low, melancholic piano note, carrying a hint of autumn wind's chill, began to play.

"Light as paper"

Light scattered in the place

The light hurriedly faded as the applause subsided.

... "

[First! Seize the no-man's land! What's with Brother Xian wearing the Imperial Guard uniform just now? Is he even allowed to wear that?]

[Fun fact: Ye's father is a retired Jinwuwei (Imperial Guard) who has been commended for his service. This is why Brother Xian was able to get a Jinwuwei to appear in the short video "A Man Should Be Self-reliant." And some people shouldn't assume it's because of the Sixth Princess's help.]

[Xian Ge's tank top is so clever! Is it also his dad's clothing? But it's so tight! It's almost bursting! That cleavage is just as deep as mine! I really want to fill Xian Ge's cleavage with my seawater.]

Is this song a rap? Is Brother Xian going to have a battle with rappers? The problem is, you also said you want love and peace, isn't that a bit contradictory? Can anyone analyze this?

……

The dense barrage of comments left Qiu Qing completely confused about what Ye Xian was trying to express in this song.

She glanced at Ye Xian and saw that he was resting with his eyes closed, which made her swallow back the question she was about to ask.

In just one day, Qiu Qing had truly understood the meaning of her mother's words, "Ye Xian is very busy now, very, very busy!"

Thinking back to how Ye Xian would always find time to video call her, no matter how early or late, she felt a pang of sympathy for this young man.

She was singing about unbearable sorrow.

The script is performed on stage for the last time.

……

Who's clamoring for candy in the wind?

这故事一开始的镜头灰尘就已经遮蔽了阳光

... "

A girl in a floral dress and a shirtless boy, with serious expressions, each unloaded a large watermelon from a tricycle. Ye Xian reached out and took the watermelon from their hands, then casually placed it in the basket on the weighbridge.

Ye Xian picked up a white towel and wiped the sweat from the boy and girl's faces. The two children did not stop, but continued to help their grandfather carry watermelons.

[I'm devastated! I finally understand why Brother Xian went to war with the melon vendors. The camera panned across more than one stall; it was mostly elderly people and children selling melons. The able-bodied men have probably all gone to work elsewhere!]

Seeing my son eating an ice cream in the air-conditioned room, I couldn't help but slap him! This brat has never suffered a bit since he was little; all he does is spend money and cause trouble. I'm going to follow the example of those parents on Kuaishou and take him to collect garbage!

[I suspect this song by Xian Ge isn't just aimed at these melon vendors, but also at rappers. Instead of constantly talking about love and peace, they should do something practical like Xian Ge.]

[I love Brother Xian! He's the most down-to-earth celebrity I've ever met, never acts like a diva! If other celebrities did this, I'd definitely think it was staged, but Brother Xian is collecting watermelons, I absolutely believe it! And I saw it in another Haizhou blogger's livestream!]

……

The scene shifts again, and Ye Xian is no longer harvesting watermelons, but lychees. Box after box of lychees are delivered to the warehouse. Ye Xian leads the packing, while Sun Li stands aside, helping the accountant settle accounts with the fruit farmers.

Many fans immediately realized that these were the lychees that would be sold during tonight's live stream, and understood that Ye Xian was determined to drive down the prices of some fruits.

People gradually understood the meaning of some of the words in the lyrics.

"Fear is etched on the children's faces"

The wheat field had fallen in the direction the tank had passed.

The shape of dandelions is drifting away

Its desperate flight

She only sings what she wants

This song, a lament for ending war.

... "

[So this song is an anti-war song! I only just realized it!]

[This is real rap! This is the love and peace that rappers have always upheld! What Xian Ge said at the beginning wasn't a joke; he was genuinely expressing his attitude!]

[This rap, finally, is giving me a real shiver! At first, I just thought the style was unique, but now, listening to it, isn't it better than those lousy songs like "Just Cramming for Help"? That crappy song isn't even worthy of shining Xian Ge's shoes!]

[Brother Xian, I've noticed something! Whenever someone questions or challenges you, you always manage to write a hit song! I thought your two cheesy rap tracks, "Free Flying" and "Above the Moon," were enough to suppress those other rappers, but who knew you'd just unleash a royal flush! You're absolutely amazing!]

……

At first, people didn't realize that this anti-war song was so powerful, but as the song unfolded with its dazzling yet melancholic melody and metaphorical yet descriptive lyrics, they gradually realized just how amazing it was.

Seeing everyone praising the song, Qiu Qing couldn't help but beam with joy. Ye Xian noticed her smile, opened his eyes, and asked, "What are you laughing at? What's wrong with this song?"

Qiu Qing shook her head, offering no explanation, and instead asked, "Is this song an anti-war song?"

Wang Feifei's eyes lit up, and she quickly picked up her phone to take a picture of Ye Xian.

Ye Xian didn't notice Wang Feifei's actions and nodded, saying, "Recently, these rappers have been causing trouble, and even the fruit vendors are restless. I heard that some big shots in the music industry are also trying to cause me trouble. It's really annoying. In addition, there are some disputes on the border, so I couldn't help but write this anti-war song."

Actually, all I want to do is sell my goods and make a little money, but people keep bothering me.

Qiu Qing said she understood: "Since it's about opposing war, yet you're also fighting against fruit vendors and rappers, won't people say that's contradictory?"

Ye Xian shook his head and said, "My dispute with them is just a matter of pride. If we really fight, consumers will benefit. What I really hope is that they won't bother the fruit farmers!"

Because of the watermelon incident, the fruit purchase price in the entire Haizhou area has been maliciously driven down by fruit vendors, and the overall price is lower than that in neighboring provinces. They have gone too far in this matter!

I write anti-war articles because I don't want conflict. If they continue to go this far, then don't blame me for trying to persuade them with reason!

Ye Xian paused for a moment, then said with a hint of disdain, "As for those rappers, it's not that I look down on them, but this one song is enough to suppress them!"

Qiu Qing was somewhat mesmerized by the rare domineering aura emanating from Ye Xian.

My little man is getting more and more amazing!

What to do? There's no escaping it!
