Chapter 338: A Big Bad Wolf Grandmother Like Smile

Although at the beginning, due to the influence of public opinion, the album sales were not very ideal, with the improvement of word of mouth, both physical album sales and online single sales began to show strong momentum. Mo Fei’s songs also made a strong comeback and caught up on the new song bestseller chart.

Finally, on January 9th, the song “You Exist in My Song” successfully reached the top of the charts, becoming the second song in this album to claim the number one spot.

And that wasn’t all. What surprised the media was that there were four songs from Mo Fei’s new album in the top ten on the best-selling chart!

How many years has it been since such a strong scene was seen? Four songs under the same artist’s name in the top ten of the charts!

All these four songs have good results!!

In first place was “You Exist In My Song”, third place was “Love Me, Don’t Go”, and seventh place was “Xiao Yao Sighs”…

There was also a song in this album that was placed last¹. It wasn’t given much attention at first, and it hasn’t been performed in TV ranking shows. But ever since Mo Fei sang this song at the invitation of a radio station, its single sales online immediately soared. Although it just squeezed into the tenth place today, no one thought it only had the level of the tenth place!!

Music critics have highly praised this song, even comparing it favorably to “Across the Ocean to See You”. One music critic even referred to this song as their ode to love: “There are two songs about the sea in Mo Fei’s album that can win awards, but if I have to choose one, then I wouldn’t choose ‘Across the Ocean to See You’!”

Tianmei has already keenly noticed this situation, so after communication, the song that Mo Fei would sing at Chen Yijie’s concert in Guangzhou the next day was no longer “You Exist In My Song”, but was replaced with this one.

It was believed that with the increase in exposure, this song would also, like “Across the Ocean to See You” and “You Exist In My Song”, become the top of the new song bestseller chart. Having three chart-toppers from one album seemed like a record-breaking achievement!

……

Setting aside Mo Fei’s increasing influence. Yang Yi was having a headache today because Saturday had arrived and it was time for the children to film. Du Yuanlei has already borrowed the hall of the school hospital from school and arranged everything. She was just waiting for him and the other children.

Yang Yi didn’t need to pick up the children. The diligent parents had already sent their children early. Besides Chen Shiyun’s busy father, Chen Guoqiang and Lan Zhoukai, who had their family driver send Xin’er over, the other parents were reluctant to leave. Like Wu Yue, she pretended to be unwell to excuse herself from today’s schedule and came specifically to watch her daughter act.

Nan Zhaoyu was sent over by his father today. Nan Yiyun was also very interested in the children’s first “electrifying” performance. He and Wu Yue both decided to stay and watch.

“Little Yu, you must listen to Uncle Yang’s guidance. Whatever he asks you to do, you do it, understand?” In the coffee shop, Nan Yiyun solemnly warned Nan Zhaoyu in front of Yang Yi, then turned to Yang Yi and said with a smile, “This child is a bit dull. If he does something wrong, feel free to correct him.”

“Not at all. Nan Zhaoyu is quite smart. He will definitely perform well today.” Yang Yi said this, but when he looked at Nan Zhaoyu, he had a big grin, showing his teeth, vividly resembling the big bad wolf grandmother.

Perhaps Nan Yiyun’s education method was too traditional. Nan Zhaoyu did look a bit dull in front of his father. However, when he was with his little friends, he became much more lively.

The five little ones were chattering away as if they had a lot of topics to talk about. The coffee shop was unusually lively with their noise.

Until Yang Yi shouted “Let’s go”, the five little ones rushed out excitedly. Only then did Ding Xiang and Yang Huan’s ears get a moment of peace.

However, on the way, the little ones were also restless. At first, they held hands and walked side by side, but after a while, Chen Shiyun couldn’t resist her excitement and let go of her hand, skipping and running ahead by herself. Then all the little ones started running, giggling, circling around Yang Yi, chasing and playing, bursting with energy.

“You can’t catch me!” Xixi’s laughter echoed like wind chimes on the school road.

“Xixi, wait for me.” Yang Luoqi also became more lively, running behind the little girl.

“Slow down!” Yang Yi quickly called out. He didn’t even have time to talk to Wu Yue and Nan Yiyun. He had to be careful, otherwise, if he wasn’t attentive, he might knock over one of the children who weren’t looking where they were going!

“Okay, okay, don’t run. What if you fall and hurt yourself? If you scrape your skin in winter, it will hurt a lot, and you’ll cry!” Wu Yue took the initiative to help Yang Yi persuade the children.

Nan Yiyun also put on a stern face and scolded Nan Zhaoyu, “How many times have I told you that boys should be calm when doing things. Why are you running?”

After a series of twists and turns, as if they had gone through numerous trials, they finally arrived at the filming location – the school hospital.

“Is this a hospital?” The little ones hesitated at the door for a while.

“I don’t like going to the hospital. They give shots²there, and it hurts my bottom,” Lan Xin shrank back a bit. She touched her little bottom and took two steps back, hiding behind her little friends.

“I don’t like shots either.” Xixi’s wrinkled her nose as if she was smelling something. She chimed in, “The hospital also smells bad. I don’t like it.”

“The hospital doesn’t smell bad. I often go to my mom’s hospital. It’s very clean!” Chen Shiyun retorted dissatisfiedly.

“But Chen Shiyun, aren’t you afraid of shots?” Yang Luoqi asked weakly, somewhat intimidated by her friends’ words.

“I’m not afraid of shots! I’ve had a shot once, and I’m super brave!” Chen Shiyun said proudly, “None of you are as brave as me.”

“But… but…” Nan Zhaoyu wanted to say something, but after stuttering for a while, he finally gave up.

He wanted to say that he was also brave, but in reality, he wasn’t. When he thought about getting a shot, the little boy didn’t even have the courage to pretend to be brave.

Yang Yi was curious why they didn’t come in. He turned his head just in time to hear their conversation. He rubbed Lan Xin and Xixi’s little heads, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Okay, okay, we’re not here for shots. We’re here to shoot a movie, remember? Don’t be afraid.”

After some coaxing, he finally brought them in.

Du Yuanlei walked over holding a board and, after introducing themselves to each other, squatted down and patiently explained the scene to the children, which was a rare display of her gentle and patient attitude.

To Yang Yi and Wu Yue’s surprise, in front of Director Du Yuanlei, the little ones not only stopped being naughty but actually became obedient and stood quietly listening to Du Yuanlei’s words.

Yang Yi and the others didn’t know that this was thanks to Xixi’s previous promotion. The formidable image of Sister Du had already taken root in the children’s minds. As soon as they heard she was the director, they dared not make any more noise for fear of being scolded!

After listening with great difficulty to Director Du Yuanlei’s explanation, and after she walked away, the little ones became lively again but they were still a bit nervous. Lan Xin secretly glanced at Du Yuanlei’s back and whispered, “Xixi, is that beautiful sister Sister Du? She doesn’t look fierce, does she?”

“Mmm hmm! Sister Du is very nice!” Xixi nodded but then shook her head. She pouted her mouth and said: “But Sister Du can be fierce sometimes. When filming movies, if you don’t do it well, she can become fierce.”

“How fierce?” Chen Shiyun asked.

“Very fierce! Super fierce! As fierce as a tiger!” Xixi had a hard time finding the right sentence to describe it.

“How scary!” Yang Luoqi looked nervous. She was worried that she might be scolded by the director if she didn’t perform well later.

“I’m scared too, Xixi. What if I don’t act well and forget my lines?” Nan Zhaoyu worriedly held Xixi’s hand.

He didn’t notice at all that at this moment a sharp gaze had swept over from behind him.

“Don’t be scared! Zhaoyu, you forgot, you don’t have any lines!” Xixi laughed happily.

“Zhaoyu, come here, I’ll bandage you up.” Yang Yi walked over at this moment, holding some bandages he had gotten from the school hospital, and waved at Nan Zhaoyu.
