“As children, we loved to count down the days on our fingers~”
“How we wished for sunrise to come quickly~”
“Grown-ups are swept along, forced to say 'have to'~”
“Unable to find an excuse to linger.”
“You and I are like frequent travelers, coming and going.”
“The letter sent to the sky hasn't been replied to on time~”
“Wait a little longer, and we'll return, as before~~”
In childhood, our young hearts were always filled with eager anticipation for growing up.
Back then, we naively believed...
That upon growing up, we could escape the familiar yet somewhat restrictive environment of our hometown, fleeing from Mom's seemingly endless nagging.
We could also earn money through our own efforts and spend it as we pleased.
In our imagination, the future held countless delicious snacks waiting for us to savor.
And endless time to immerse ourselves in our beloved game worlds.
Time flies.
The vast majority of people eventually realized the dream they most longed for as children.
Indeed, we left our hometown as we wished, and Mom's nagging gradually faded from our ears.
We began to spend the money we worked hard to earn, buying the snacks we once dreamed of, and indulging in all sorts of games.
However...
When all of this became reality, we calmed down and pondered carefully.
Did we truly feel happy deep down?
Alone in that cold, cramped rented room.
Day after day, chewing on nauseatingly cheap takeout.
The snacks we once loved so much now gave us mouth ulcers.
Although we could play games all night long, our bodies and minds became increasingly exhausted.
Was this really what we yearned for growing up?
We were clearly living a dreamlike life, seemingly in paradise, but why had the smiles on our faces become so rare?
After growing up, when the longing for home surged like a tide.
We desperately wished to return home and have a bite of a meal cooked by Mom.
However, the cruel reality was that even with this strong desire in our hearts, we couldn't even find a suitable excuse to go home.
On the surface, we seemed free and unrestrained, but in reality, we were tightly wrapped in the heavy pressures of life, unable to break free.
“We always circle, circle, circle~”
“Circling thousands of miles, still looking towards home~”
“Riding the wind, longing blows, floating in the night sky~”
“Catch a shooting star as a gift, wishing you happiness~”
“Thread in hand, winding, winding, winding~”
“Winding thousands of days and nights, still looking towards home~”
“Swallows returning to their nests, a migratory path, countless participants~”
“Waiting for the fireworks to light up the night sky, preparing to celebrate~~~”
“A place in the heart to dwell...”
As the song gradually approached its end.
Those whose heartstrings were touched by the song were already in tears, their faces streaming.
Those wanderers who couldn't return home for the New Year due to various reasons.
At this moment, were standing alone in the crowd.
Like a "red kite" drifting in the air, looking down at the ground with a lonely expression filled with longing.
Infected by Wen He's warm and healing singing...
Their hearts, which had been wandering for so long, seemed to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, closely connected with their families far away.
Creating a strong resonance as if heart to heart.
As if through this song, they could truly feel the warm embrace of their loved ones.
And Wen He's New Year's Eve Beijing concert came to an end.
After finishing the last song...
Wen He coughed violently as usual.
After he recovered, Wen He and Cheng Yudie immediately rushed to the airport, flying back to Guangzhou almost without stopping.
Because tonight was New Year's Eve.
They still wanted to go home and celebrate the New Year with their friends.
[22:30]
This was the time they landed in Guangzhou.
It was still a distance from the airport back home, but the good news was...
“Yo! Big star, you're back!”
Gao Chongting drove his newly bought car to the airport to pick up Wen He.
“Brother, Sister Yudie, Happy New Year!” Wen Ze was sitting in the passenger seat, extremely happy.
Recently, Wen He and Cheng Yudie had been holding concerts frequently, and only the two of them were basically at home, their relationship could be described as closer than ever.
“Happy New Year! This is a red envelope for you.”
Wen He was also very happy, his face filled with a happy smile, and he gave his younger brother Wen Ze a red envelope.
Looking at the giant red envelope that was so bulging it couldn't be any more bulging, Wen Ze was dumbfounded.
His entire face turned red with excitement, and even the voice he spoke with trembled: "This... is this really for me?"
“Of course, take it.” Wen He directly stuffed it over.
“Thank you, brother! You are really the best brother in the world! I love you to death!” Wen Ze jumped up and down excitedly.
“Little brat, don't break my new car, and it's not safe for you to take so much money, give it to your godfather for safekeeping.”
As he spoke, Gao Chongting reached out to snatch Wen Ze's red envelope.
Hearing these words, Wen He and Cheng Yudie were both slightly stunned.
They were both a little surprised.
“No way, we haven't been gone for long, have your relationship evolved to this stage?” Cheng Yudie was quite shocked.
“Yeah, haha, I don't plan to get married in this life anyway, but I still want a son, isn't this perfect.” Gao Chongting said with a smile.
“Wen Ze, you agreed?” Wen He was very curious.
“Yeah, Uncle Gao is still a very good person, I think he's suitable to be my godfather, hehe.” Wen Ze scratched his head embarrassedly.
“What kind of talk is that! If you recognize him as your godfather, then wouldn't Gao Chongting be super-senior to me?”
Wen He immediately became anxious, but it was just an act.
“I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet, let's keep our relationships separate, you call me dad, I'll call you brother.”
Gao Chongting quickly stabilized Wen He's emotions.
“What are you saying! What are you saying! I want to see my lawyer!” It seemed that his emotions had not been stabilized.
“I am your lawyer.”
“Oh, right.”
The lighthearted scene in front of them made everyone in the car laugh.
The atmosphere was pleasant and joyful.
After about an hour's drive, they finally returned to the community.
When Gao Chongting was parking, Cheng Yudie suddenly said: "I have something I want to say to Wen He alone, wait for you two to go back first, I'll come back after I've finished talking to Wen He."
“Oh~ I understand, I understand.”
Gao Chongting dragged out the "Oh" sound, looking like a cheapskate.
“Then you guys chat, we won't disturb you, we're leaving, ha.” As he spoke, Gao Chongting put his arm around Wen Ze, and the two of them went home laughing together.
But before they had gone far, Gao Chongting suddenly turned back and added: "Oh, right, you guys don't have to come back tonight."
“Hurry up and leave!” Cheng Yudie urged, her face slightly red.
After they left, Wen He was also quite nervous, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit off.
Neither of them said much, but they both tacitly walked towards the old place together.
