After surviving my ordeal, I learned that the school beauty had given birth to twins for me.

Chapter 159 Bonfire Party, Shen Yu's Little Tune

In the past two weeks, Duoduo has been running and playing in the mountains. She has become much more cheerful and sensible, which is their biggest gain.

Gu Yanchen sat alone on the veranda, holding a notebook and scribbling. He wrote down his experiences over the past two weeks, as well as the things Shen Yu had said.

He used to think he was at the top of the entertainment industry, that he had seen and understood everything.

It wasn't until he met Shen Yu that he realized there were people like him in the world, and that true strength wasn't about fame and wealth, but about inner peace and composure.

He closed his notebook, looked in Shen Yu's direction, and his eyes were full of admiration.

Wang Kai and his staff were packing up their filming equipment. Looking at the small courtyard where they had stayed for half a month, he was filled with emotion.

"Director Wang," a staff member said with a smile as he approached.

"We've struck gold this time! The show has surpassed 30 billion views, GG (Google's advertising platform) is lining up to invest in a second season, and even the station manager personally called to praise us!"

"Yes," Wang Kai smiled, but his eyes held a complex expression.

"We owe all of this success to Mr. Shen. Without him, our program might have been canceled long ago."

So many accidents happened during the recording, including falling rocks, snakes, and even a murder later on.

Without Shen Yu, the production team would have encountered countless problems, let alone achieved such great results.

"By the way, Director Wang," the staff member added.

"Many netizens have been asking on Weibo when the second season will be filmed, and our comment section is almost overwhelmed. There are also many GG merchants who say they are willing to invest any amount of money as long as Mr. Shen is in the second season."

Wang Kai nodded:

"I understand. When I get back to Beijing, I'll go talk to the station director about the second season. But whether it will work out depends on whether Mr. Shen is willing to come."

He knew perfectly well that Shen Yu didn't care about fame or money at all; whether or not he could be persuaded depended entirely on Jiang Xinlan and the children's wishes.

In the afternoon, everyone went to the nearby stream. The children splashed in the water barefoot and collected pebbles. The adults sat on the rocks on the bank, chatting and reminiscing about the past two weeks.

"I remember when I first came here, Wanqing had a conflict with you. If it weren't for Mr. Shen, Wanqing would have been hit by a falling rock and gotten into an accident."

"And the time we dug bamboo shoots, Mr. Shen just pointed to a big winter bamboo shoot, and we dug up a whole basketful."

"And when it came to tea picking, Mr. Shen picked more tea leaves than all of us combined."

"The most unforgettable thing is Zhang Nan's case. Fortunately, Mr. Shen was there, otherwise she would never have been able to clear her name."

When Zhang Nan was mentioned, everyone fell silent, their hearts heavy.

"It's all in the past," Shen Yu said calmly. "She's gone home, and Daya will be fine."

Everyone nodded, and the heaviness in their hearts dissipated considerably.

Yes, it's all in the past.

Justice may have been delayed, but it was not denied in the end.

As the sun sets, the sky is dyed a deep orange-red.

Everyone returned to their mountain retreat and began preparing for the bonfire party.

The men brought in wood and built a large bonfire in the center of the yard.

The women were preparing barbecue ingredients on the side, including lamb skewers, chicken wings, corn, eggplant, and various vegetables.

The children ran excitedly around the bonfire, holding small fireworks in their hands, laughing heartily.

Soon, the campfire was lit.

The flames roared and crackled, their golden light reflecting on everyone's faces, warm and bright.

Everyone sat around the campfire, grilling skewers and chatting, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.

"Alright, alright," Wang Kai said with a smile, standing up as he held a microphone.

"Today is the last day of filming for 'Mountain Dwelling Years.' Thank you all for your company and hard work over the past two weeks. Next up is our talent show! Who would like to perform something for everyone first?"

"I'll go first!" Su Wanqing was the first to raise her hand. She stood up and said with a smile.

"Let me sing a song for everyone, my favorite song, 'A Little Happiness'."

As the music began, Su Wanqing's gentle and melodious voice sang along softly.

"It turns out you are the luck I most wanted to hold onto, it turns out we were once so close to love..."

The song echoed in the courtyard, carrying a touch of sadness and heartfelt wishes.

After the song was finished, everyone applauded.

"It sounds amazing! It sounds so good!"

"Wanqing sings so beautifully!"

Next up was Wen Ran. She sat by the campfire with a guitar in her arms and sang a song she had written herself.

The singing was clear and pure, with a touch of folk music, telling the story of the scenery in the mountains and the feelings of the past two weeks.

Everyone listened quietly, their faces showing expressions of rapture.

After the song was finished, the applause became even more enthusiastic.

Then came Chen Guodong, who sang an old song called "Azalea" for everyone. His voice was loud and clear, full of emotion.

Bai Hui joined in the singing, the two holding hands, their eyes filled with love as they looked at each other, making everyone envious.

Gu Yanchen then told everyone a lame joke, which, although not funny at all, still made everyone burst into laughter.

The children also performed. Niannian, Guigui, and Duoduo danced a dance they learned in kindergarten. Their movements were so cute that they drew rounds of applause from everyone.

"Alright, who's next?" Wang Kai said with a smile, looking at Shen Yu.

"Mr. Shen! Mr. Shen, one more! Mr. Shen, one more!"

Everyone joined in the chant: "Mr. Shen, one more! Mr. Shen, one more!"

"Yes, Mr. Shen, please put on a show for us!"

"We all want to see Mr. Shen perform!"

Shen Yu didn't want to perform at first, but he couldn't resist everyone's encouragement. Jiang Xinlan also smiled and nudged his arm, saying, "Just perform one, everyone's waiting."

Looking into Jiang Xinlan's gentle eyes and then at the children's expectant faces, Shen Yu smiled helplessly and nodded.

He stood up, walked to the sycamore tree next to him, and casually picked a bright green sycamore leaf.

"I don't have much to perform, so I'll just play a little tune for you."

Everyone fell silent, watching him expectantly.

Shen Yu placed the paulownia leaf to his lips and gently blew on it.

There are no fancy techniques, no soaring melodies, only a gentle and ethereal tune, as if it came from the depths of the mountains and forests, flowing out slowly.

The sound was very soft, yet it carried a strange power, like morning dew dripping onto a lotus leaf, like a mountain stream flowing gently, like the rustling of leaves in a breeze.

A faint wisp of spiritual energy quietly dissipated with the musical notes, merging into the surrounding air.

The once noisy courtyard instantly became completely silent.
