Kitchen in Room 201, Building 7, Dongping Community, Binhai City, East Zhejiang Province.
Fang Yun put the freshly washed dishes into the cabinet.
"Mom, come here!"
From the small living room outside, Lu Xuejian called out loudly: "Brother's competition is about to begin!"
"understood!"
Fang Yun agreed, wiped her wet hands on the apron twice, and hurried out.
She sat down beside Lu Xue, and when she saw the picture on the TV, she was stunned, and said angrily, "Where is your brother? You are still broadcasting current affairs news! You child, you will lie to your mother!"
Lu Xue hugged Fang Yun's arm with a smile, leaned her head on her shoulder, and said, "If you don't come, you must be busy again, so I will trick you to come here to rest, and soon it will be brother's turn." It's the show."
"Let me clean up the house tomorrow!"
Fang Yun shook her head helplessly, but there was a pampering look in her eyes.
His gaze was still locked on the screen.

Two thousand kilometers away from the capital city, dormitory 305, building 7, female dormitory of Beijing Normal University.
Ye Zitong sat alone on the head of the bed, put on the earphones and turned on the computer.
Her roommates had all gone out to play for a few days, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of loneliness. Instead, she felt a sense of satisfaction of owning the whole world by herself. She deftly opened a website in the browser favorites with a swipe of her finger.
The webpage shows that the live broadcast of Beijing Satellite TV's "Singing China" 32 Jin 16 finals has entered the countdown stage.
Staring at the constantly jumping numbers, Ye Zitong's heart suddenly beat violently!
Without her being aware of it, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face.
As beautiful as peaches and plums.

Houhai, Wangyoucao Bar.
Today is the first night of the weekend, and although it's not prime time yet, the bar is already full.
Strangely, there were no singers singing on the stage, even the music was turned off.
What is displayed on the large LED screen is actually the news screen of the TV station, and the logo in the upper left corner belongs to Beijing Satellite TV.
Such a situation is impossible in normal times - who ran to the bar to watch the news
After a while, Chen Jianhao came onto the stage with a microphone in hand.
He said with a smile on his face: "I believe everyone already knows that tonight is the day when Lu Chen, the former resident singer of our Wangyoucao Bar, participated in the Beijing Satellite TV Singing China 32nd 16th competition."
"We are here to watch the live broadcast and cheer for Lu Chen. We are all his relatives and friends!"
"All drinks at night will be discounted by 20%!"
Applause, laughter, whistles, and cheers suddenly rang out in the bar.
Many regular customers raised their wine glasses to thank Chen Jianhao and at the same time cheer for Lu Chen.
Don't let everyone down!

Lantian Creative Park, Room 1905, Building A8, Lu Chen Studio.
The undecorated studio is messy, desks and chairs are scattered everywhere, large and small cardboard boxes are piled up in the corners, and there is a unique smell of latex paint in the air.
In the webcast studio, Li Feiyu was sitting on a brand-new chair full of energy. He was wearing big earphones, facing the same brand-new computer, camera and microphone, and shouted loudly: "Everyone pay attention, there are still five minutes, there are still five minutes to go!" There are five minutes to start the live broadcast!"
"Play the music, get up everyone, follow me..."
"Let's cheer for Lu Fei together!"
"come on!"
Numerous barrages were swiped across the screen, as well as fish balls falling down like raindrops.
Aircraft carriers sail past majestically!
…
7:27.
Beijing Satellite TV studio hall, backstage waiting area.
Lu Chen is holding his most beloved guitar in his arms, waiting to play.
The impassioned voice of the host came from outside.
Tonight's "Singing China" Beijing Singing District's 32nd and 16th round competition, because of the addition of the voting session of the on-site audience and the off-site audience, the delay time was changed from 60 minutes to 5 minutes, which can be regarded as a real live broadcast!
And Lu Chen was ranked first, number 001.
There are 31 players behind him, all strong opponents who stand out from thousands of competitors.
And half of the people will be eliminated tonight, saying goodbye to this stage.
Lu Chen knew that in front of the TV and computer, many people who knew him or didn't know him would see his singing, including his relatives and friends.
But he wasn't nervous at all, calmly as if he was going to a friend's afternoon tea date.
"Next, we invite Lu Chen, the No. 001 contestant of the top 32 in the capital singing district, to play!"
The warm applause suddenly sounded like a summer storm, sweeping across the big studio in an instant.
It hit Lu Chen's eardrums.
Lu Chen's eyes suddenly brightened, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Amid the applause, he stepped up the steps, walked to the center of the stage with steady and powerful steps, and stood under the spotlight.
Facing 4 judges, 27 camera lenses and 1500 live audiences at the same time!
"Hello four judges and teachers, hello audience friends, good evening everyone!"
Without squinting, Lu Chen said into the microphone, "I'm contestant No. 001, Lu Chen."
After speaking, he bowed and saluted.
The applause that had just subsided rang again, and the audience's love and support for him could be heard.
A song "Walking and Singing" and a song "In the Spring" made Lu Chen, who performed well in the preliminary competition, sing his name in "Singing China", and made many audiences no longer unfamiliar with him.
Even if he skipped the rematch and directly advanced to the top 32.
Last week, July 19th, in the 3rd week of China's original music charts in July, after a month of promotion and publicity, "In Spring" successfully topped the charts!
The Wandering Band became famous and became a hot new band. As the original songwriter in "In the Spring", Lu Chen's name is firmly remembered by many insiders.
One of the judges, the Queen of Sweet Songs, Chen Feier, smiled and asked, "Lu Chen, we meet again. What good song will you bring to everyone tonight? Is it your own original work?"
With an expectant expression on her face, she just gave the camera a close-up shot.
Lu Chen did not disappoint. He nodded and replied, "Yes, the song I brought to you tonight is very special. It is my first original work, a school ballad..."
"It's called, You at the same table!"
Tan Hong said: "I look forward to your wonderful singing."
The music starts.
Lu Chen lowered his head slightly and plucked the strings lightly.
began his singing.
"Will you remember tomorrow, the diary you wrote yesterday, will you still miss tomorrow, you who used to cry the most."
"The teachers couldn't remember you, you who couldn't figure out the problem, and I only remembered you at the same table by chance when I flipped through the photos!"
"..."
Lu Chen has played and sung this song "You at the Same Table" many times, but every time he plays and sings, he has a different feeling and experience. I can't say which one is the best, but what I sing is the taste of my heart .
The song itself is not complicated, it is a simple two-segment style, and the range is not wide, only six degrees.
But its melody is beautiful, easy to sing, and the lyrics are as long and delicate as silk, which easily touches the emotions hidden in people's hearts, and makes everyone have a strong resonance, recalling the past.
This song with a melodious tune and a fresh melody perfectly reflects the pure and hazy emotions of the student days, so it has always been one of Lu Chen's most popular works.
Unlike usual, this song has been re-arranged by Nirvana Studio. Wang Jing added accordion and harmonica to the accompaniment, which greatly enriched the timbre and enhanced the nostalgia of the melody.
Therefore, when Lu Chen took out "You at the Same Table" and sang it on the real stage, the charm of this classic work not only did not fade in the slightest, but became more touching.
Even if you have heard it many times, you will still be deeply moved!
The studio hall became quiet, very quiet, and everyone listened quietly and savored.
Many, many people, in Lu Chen's narration with a touch of sadness, recalled the beautiful years of youth they had experienced - the borrowed eraser, the copied notebook, the 38 lines on the table...
Those beautiful and beautiful, those sweet and sweet, have all gone with the wind!
"... who put your long hair up, who made your wedding dress, lah..."
Until Lu Chen finished singing, the audience was still silent.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The first one to clap his hands was the judge Lin Zhijie.
In the eyes of the music director of Feishi Records, there was uncontrollable admiration and appreciation.
However, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream, and they raised their palms one after another. They were chaotic at first, and then became neat and tidy. The sincere and warm applause was like a wave!
Chen Fei'er was the first to stand up, her eyes sparkled with crystal light, and she applauded for Lu Chen.
Many spectators stood up. Although the live broadcast of the game had just started and Lu Chen was the first singer to appear on stage, the atmosphere of the scene had already been pushed to a climax!
"thanks!"
Lu Chen bowed deeply and said sincerely, "Thank you everyone!"
His heart is no longer calm.
This feeling is so good!
After a full minute, the applause finally subsided, and everyone sat back in their seats.
Chen Fei'er said: "Lu Chen, I like your song, very much!"
She was even a little excited: "So I give you ten points!"
As soon as the words fell, the queen of sweet songs pressed the scoring device on the table hard and gave Lu Chen the highest score.
Lu Chen was unexpectedly happy, and he could only thank: "Thank you, Teacher Chen."
"Singing China" entered the top 16 32 times, using a combination of judges' scoring and on-site and off-site audience votes to select the top 16 places, of which the proportion of judges' scores reached 40%.
Chen Fei'er scored 10 points for the first time, undoubtedly under the balance of Lu Chen's victory, he weighed heavily!
She smiled and said, "Thank you, too, for letting me hear a good song, really."
With tears in my smile.
As emotional as her, as moving as her.
