Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chen Yuemo hid from Wang Jingke for a few days, and he became depressed for a few days. Except for practicing singing, when he forced himself to concentrate and give it his all, he was listless the rest of the time.

This competition is held once a week. In the preliminary round, only singing is allowed without dancing, so after the program team determines the songs for the competition, they let them go home and practice on their own. They only let them come back for two rehearsals the day before the recording to confirm the movements, accompaniment, lighting, etc., and then they wait until the next day to officially go on stage.

Chen Yuemo used original songs for this competition, playing and singing by himself. He didn't need any accompaniment or fancy clothes, just some lights to create atmosphere. He had practiced the songs very well, so the rehearsal didn't take long. After only one rehearsal, the director said it was OK and let him go.

Although the official competition will be tomorrow, we still have to live our lives today and sing the songs we should sing in the bar.

Chen Yuemo walked into the bar with his head down. It was still early and the customers had not arrived yet, but the staff were all there. When they saw him come in, they winked at him one by one. Chen Yuemo was in a bad mental state and did not react. He did not understand what was going on until he saw the girl sitting in the middle of the hall.

Wang Jingke was wearing a bubble dress today and her hair was curled into small waves. Against her fair skin, she looked like a real-life doll.

At just one glance, Chen Yuemo felt his heart stop beating.

These days, he has explained to his friends countless times that he and Wang Jingke are just ordinary friends, and he doesn't dare to date her.

But he could deceive others but not his own heart.

Like means like, that heart-pounding feeling is so clear and so intense, how could he deceive himself?

But when he thought about how ordinary he was, and that if liking her would become a burden to her, then he could only force himself not to like her.

Let’s be ordinary friends!

Chen Yuemo told himself, let’s just be ordinary friends.

Wang Jingke was already sitting there, Chen Yuemo couldn't just pretend he didn't see it. He took a few deep breaths and then walked out.

"Ke...Keke, you're here?"

"Why, you don't welcome me?"

"No, that's not it. We, we are friends. Of course I welcome friends to come and see me."

Seeing Chen Yuemo impatiently drawing the 38th parallel, Wang Jing pouted unhappily, but remembering Sister Jiang Li's reminder to give him time, he suppressed his anxiety.

"It's good enough that you can treat me as a friend. I'm afraid you don't even want to be friends with me anymore."

"No, no, how could I be like this."

"That's fine."

After hearing Chen Yuemo's denial, Wang Jingke felt much better.

Wang Jingke had never suffered much since she was a child. She was loved by everyone at home. She was confident and not afraid of losing. No matter what, she had to give it a try. If she didn't try, how could she know that the two of them couldn't succeed?

If Chen Yuemo really doesn't like her, then let's talk about it later.

Anyway, we should not leave any regrets in life, so let’s talk about it later after we have tried our best.

"I've been learning how to cook recently, but I can't find anyone to taste the food. Since you consider me a friend, you wouldn't be unwilling to taste the food for me, right?"

"No, I do, I do!"

"Are you willing or not?!"

Wang Jingke's eyes widened in anger, and Chen Yuemo immediately stopped stuttering and said firmly: "Yes, I do!"

"Hmph! As long as you are willing!"

Wang Jingke tried hard to control the curve of his mouth, fearing that he would accidentally reveal his joy. Then he took out the lunch boxes from the thermos bag one by one.

"This is braised fish, this is salt and pepper shrimp, this is pork with garlic sauce, this is smashed cucumber, this is winter melon and chicken soup...you can try it."

“Try them all.”

"it is good!"

Seeing Chen Yuemo obediently pick up the chopsticks, pick up a piece of shrimp and put it into his mouth, Wang Jingke became nervous.

"How is the taste?"

“It tastes delicious!”

Seeing Chen Yuemo nodding vigorously and giving a thumbs up, Wang Jing was so happy that he almost smiled.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking. This dish is delicious!"

Nonsense! How can this dish not taste good? She practiced it many times this week, and was busy all day today. Now she has brought out all the dishes that she carefully selected to be presentable. If it doesn't make your tongue fall off, it would be a shame for my efforts this week and the chickens, ducks and fish that died.

Wang Jingke was laughing very proudly in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.

“It’s just something I did casually.”

Wang Jingke watched Chen Yuemo eat without blinking, and thought that even the way he ate was so handsome.

I don’t know if this is what it’s like to like someone.

I miss him when I can't see him, but I still miss him when he is in front of me.

Chen Yuemo was sitting in front of Wang Jingke, but Wang Jingke still missed him. He wanted to reach out and touch him. He even wanted to feed him the food with his own hands, wipe his mouth, and pat his back.

Wang Jingke felt that he was a little sick. He worked on himself for a long time before he got rid of these terrible thoughts.

"You have a competition tomorrow. Are you nervous?"

Chen Yuemo swallowed the braised fish in his mouth and said, "I'm not nervous."

Wang Jingke's eyebrows curved: "Wow! So confident?"

Chen Yuemo smiled: "There is still a little bit."

It's just the preliminary round, and he performs on stage every week, singing the songs he's good at, so there's no need to be nervous.

He still has this bit of confidence.

Wang Jingke grinned, revealing a row of neat silver teeth: "It's good that you have confidence. I'll wait in front of the TV and cheer for you."

Chen Yuemo also smiled: "Okay!"

Wang Jingke actually wanted to go to the scene to cheer him on. With her family's background and connections, it would not be a problem for her to be an audience member, but she didn't want to make Chen Yuemo feel nervous and stressed, so she just cheered him on silently.

Watching Chen Yuemo finish her meal, Wang Jingke actually wanted to stay longer, but she kept thinking about the principle of playing the long game to catch the big fish, so she could only calmly say that she had something else to do and had to go back first.

Resisting the urge to look back every few steps, Wang Jingke walked out of the door with his eyes fixed on the road. Only after he got into the car did he reluctantly turn his head and look in the direction of the bar.

"Keep working hard! Chen Yuemo!"

I will keep you company.

In the bar, colorful lights were flashing and soft music was playing.

Chen Yuemo stood quietly by the window, with the curtains half-hiding his figure. His deep and bright eyes stared out the window, focusing on Wang Jingke who had just got into the car and left. The car drove farther and farther away, and finally disappeared at the end of his sight.

"Keep working hard! Chen Yuemo!"

Chen Yuemo whispered to himself, as if only he could hear it. This sentence was both a encouragement to himself and a firm promise.

One day, I will catch up with you.

The road ahead is still long and full of unknowns and challenges, but he knows that only by achieving his own success through unremitting efforts and tenacious struggle, will he be qualified to talk about the so-called "future".

One day, he believed that he could catch up with that goal - whether it was Wang Jingke or the higher ideal in his heart. At this moment, a strong fighting spirit surged in his heart, as hot as a burning flame.
