Jiang Jianhuan: "......"
Chapter 75
In the fall, Su Mo had a new song that went viral online, which was quite different from his previous style. In fact, all of his works this year have been somewhat different from before, but the changes were subtle, none as complete and radical as this one.
The song is called "Sweet Thoughts".
Actually, fans were a little surprised when the name was first revealed. Su Mo's style has always been delicate and gentle since her debut. Some people can hear a faint sadness in her songs, while others feel comfortable and relaxed. Every word seems to touch their hearts.
He had never written anything like this before—
A song brimming with girlish charm and pink bubbles.
He was just like a man in the throes of new love.
right.
That's the feeling.
As I tentatively clicked on it, the melody flooded my ears first. My toes involuntarily began to tap the ground lightly, and I unconsciously closed my eyes and slowly swayed my head. Su Mo's light and warm voice drifted in, making me immediately open my eyes in surprise and look at the lyrics.
The carousel shimmered with golden light / the hem of her colorful skirt fluttered in the cool breeze.
......
You are my sweet secret
Occupy in my eyes, heart, and mind
you do not know
The world is full of vibrant colors
Just like you don't understand
How much I love you
As the song ends, the lingering feeling remains in my mind, like a romance filled with the sweet taste of cotton candy. After savoring it for a couple of seconds, I click on it again, wanting to return to that sweet embrace.
After listening to it repeatedly, and getting a sense of its charm, it becomes clear that Su Mo's songs are almost entirely written and composed by herself. Seeing Su Mo's name clearly written after the lyricist and composer, fans can't help but speculate.
Their idols—
Are you in love?!
This is explosive news.
Many of Su Mo's fans have liked him for many years and have never heard of him having any scandals, except for Chi Lan, with whom he appeared in the same frame twice in the early days.
Of course, there are also some strange and messy third-rate gossips that their idols never pay attention to, which they naturally ignore instinctively.
For example, there was that mysterious woman who kept entering and leaving Su Mo's house on Christmas Eve a couple of years ago...
This looks obviously fake!!!
They're not mindless fans who would believe these unscrupulous media outlets that slander their idols just to grab attention :)
Su Mo remains very low-key in everything except her work, and is almost unknown in the entertainment industry.
That year, he still received numerous music award nominations and remained a fixture on various music charts. Although he rarely appeared in public, his songs continued to dominate the spotlight.
Because of the renewed popularity of the song "Sweet Thoughts," many new listeners have begun to flock to Su Mo's fan circle, constantly commenting and checking in under his rarely updated Weibo, and even tagging his studio account, asking most often whether he has any plans to hold a concert.
Li Sa was in charge of managing the studio's Weibo account. He received a ton of private messages, comments, and mentions every day, and finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Boss! You've been on break for a year!!! When are you planning to put on some shows to appease your hungry fans?!"
Su Mo was busy choosing a wedding venue and ordering a diamond ring from a well-known international designer. She was completely focused on her wedding and didn't pay any attention to his roar.
"I haven't had time lately..." He compared the scenery and style of the two islands, studying them carefully.
Looking at her boss sitting on the sofa, leisurely playing on his iPad, Li Sa felt a pang of despair.
"I don't care, you absolutely have to hold two events this year, or I'll hang myself in front of you."
Su Mo finally looked up from the screen, staring at her blank-faced assistant, and rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.
"It's not impossible... but we can only open in five cities at most. We can't run all over the country like before. Also, it's best to get it done before the end of the year because I'm getting married then."
Li Sa: "......"
"Thank you!"
Because of Su Mo's words, the entire studio was working overtime non-stop, yet no one dared to complain. After all, everyone was already satisfied that their boss could go out and earn money!
Since wages are tied to profits, that's what happens when wages are linked to profits.
After two months of preparation, concert tickets officially went on sale, causing a frenzy among fans and a busy period for Su Mo.
He started leaving early and returning late, rehearsing and writing songs, collaborating with the band, testing the stage, and doing other miscellaneous things.
Tickets were in high demand and short supply. Those who managed to snag them were overjoyed, while those who missed out were devastated. Many fans complained that there were even more competitors this year, making it a case of too many applicants for too few tickets.
As winter approached, the concert also began. Su Mo had only been away in another city for two days, but she had already repeatedly reminded Jiang Jianhuan out of concern and even found a driver to take her to and from get off work.
Jiang Jianhuan had already included buying a car in his plans, but Su Mo was hesitant to agree, as he still couldn't let go of what had happened before.
The last stop of the concert was in Jiangcheng. The day of the rehearsal happened to be Christmas Day, and the company very kindly gave us two hours of leave in advance this year.
Jiang Jianhuan had arranged to eat out with Su Mo. He made a reservation at the restaurant and bought coffee before heading over to meet him.
When she arrived, the rehearsal was nearing its end. Jiang Jianhuan stood below, holding two cups of coffee. The stage lights were only two small beams. Su Mo stood on the stage, auditioning. A few strands of his bangs were dyed a dazzling silver-white under the beams. He gently closed his eyes, held the microphone, and tilted his face slightly upward.
Jiang Jianhuan looked up and suddenly realized that he had never actually been to one of his concerts, nor had he ever sat down like an ordinary fan to listen to him sing.
After Su Mo finished singing a song, she exchanged a few words with the band members next to her. Li Sa was also there, seemingly asking them to adjust the lighting.
A moment later, he came down from the stage, put on a long down jacket, and walked up to Jiang Jianhuan.
"Is it cold outside?" He glanced at Jiang Jianhuan's military green work jacket, which wasn't very thick. Underneath, she was only wearing a camel-colored sweater, her neck exposed, and her collarbone was vaguely visible. She looked slender and graceful.
"It's alright, not too cold." Jiang Jianhuan shoved the hot coffee in his hand into his palm and quickly changed the subject.
"This coffee is a new product that came out a few days ago. It's delicious. I bought it especially for you. Try it."
Su Mo held the cup and took a sip. The warmth flowed from her fingertips and throat, gradually spreading throughout her body.
