Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“So it’s a contest,” said Nian Junting blandly. “Maybe she’ll be eliminated in the first round. If that happened, she’ll have plenty of time to sleep.”

“Shut up.” Luosang glared at him and said, “She can make it to the fourth or fifth round at least. She said if she got into the third round, she’ll get me a ticket and invite me to watch the filming.”

“Are you gonna leave me and Apple here and go to Hangzhou?” Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and said, “How can you do that?”

Luosang didn’t know what to say. He made it sound like something really awful.

“I’m just gonna go for two days. I’ll be back on the second day. I’ve married you and given you a baby. Don’t I have any freedom now?”

“That’s not true,” Nian Junting hurriedly said. After all, his wife was getting angry. “I’m just saying that… you should take me. Sister Lan will take care of Apple.”

Xu Zhengxuan nodded and said, “You should go together. You can’t have fun alone.”

Nian Junting nodded, agreeing with his father-in-law.

Luosang sighed and said, “All right, all right, I’ll ask her for an extra ticket.”

“Oi, ask her for two more,” Mo Jin hurriedly said to her. “Take me too. I like hearing songs.”

“If your mother will go, I’ll go too.” Xu Zhengxuan joined the conversation.

Mo Liuxi blinked and said, “If you all go, I think I should go with you guys.”

“Maybe we should get two tickets for Nian Xi and my Mom too. They haven’t seen anything like that yet,” Nian Junting said.

Apple gave his own opinion too. “Lalalala… Ahhhh…”

Luosang buried her face in her hands. She felt like she was going crazy. “So this is gonna be a family vacation now? You’re talking about seven or eight people going together. How can Yan Su possibly get us so many tickets? Please. The audience will need to vote during the contest. We can’t march in there in such a big group, or people might consider the voting unfair.”

“You’re right,” Mo Jin murmured with disappointment.

Nian Junting patted Luosang on the shoulder and said, “I’ll deal with it. We won’t be voting. We can sit in the first row, or I can probably ask the organizer to arrange a row for us exclusively.”

“Like the show is produced by you.” Luosang’s mouth corners twitched.

“Don’t you forget that I’m a game player in the film and television business too. They’ll certainly do what I ask.” Nian Justing smiled.

Luosang sighed. Unexpectedly, her entire family would go to watch the show. She felt so tired in her heart.

“Anyway, let’s wait until Yan Su gets into the third round,” she said.

Mo Liuxi counted the days. Before Yan Su got into the third round, she and he would go to Beijing together to promote Li Ming’s new film.

What was Asian King of Singing? After dinner, Mo Liuxi went upstairs to watch the show.

…

Half a month later, Asian King of Singing was aired. It caught a lot of attention nationwide. The songs created by a few singers on the show suddenly got into the list of the most current popular songs.

Yan Su was one of the most outstanding among them. The great power erupted from her tiny body impressed many people and aroused heated discussions. Her songs could even be heard in taxis, social media platforms, and everywhere on the streets.

On Friday, Mo Liuxi went home after school. He walked into the house to find that Mo Jin was watching Asia King of Singing. The singer on the screen was Tu Lan. He had watched that episode a few times in his apartment earlier. Yan Su would be next on stage.

He decided not to go upstairs immediately as he planned to, but dropped his bag, sat down on the couch, started eating fruit and watching TV. He made it look like a casual thing.
