Chapter 56 Determining the Crown Prince's Development Path
Toilet.
Tian Xiwei's little face was flushed.
This is a blush after excitement.
She scooped up some water and splashed it on her face to cool it down.
So that's how great Li Shen's life is!
Cross out the previous line!
So, Li Shen has it this good every day?
She turned to the videographer and asked, "Excuse me, could I know the current approval rating?"
At this moment, the support rates for the 8 guests are displayed in the upper right corner of the live stream:
[Partner Role Swap Game: Who's the Best?]
[Tian Xiwei's approval rating: 96%]
[Huang Shengyi's approval rating: 79%]
Li Shen's approval rating: 75%
Yoko's approval rating: 71%
……
[Oda, you're way ahead!]
[You carried Dog Bro to victory with an overwhelming advantage!]
[Stop, Xiaotian, we've already won this round!]
……
Videographer: "Xiaotian, this can't be revealed in advance."
"All right."
Tian Xiwei had just stepped out of the restroom when she ran into Li Hangliang.
The two spoke in unison:
"Brother Liang, I'm sorry."
"Oda, thank you."
Li Hangliang smiled and walked up to the rooftop bar.
"Brother Liang, are you sure you don't want to go and comfort your wife?"
Li Hangliang waved his hand; at this moment, he wanted to love himself.
Rooftop Tavern
They drank the wine, one glass after another.
He smoked one cigarette after another.
Night fell, and the lights shone brightly.
Li Hangliang felt lost and helpless in the colorful night.
He suddenly pulled off his glasses and wiped his eyes.
Damn it! Li Gou, you're such a loser!
If you keep it inside for eight years, you'll need Xiaotian to stand up for you!
Li Hangliang, you're as spineless as a dog!
Snapped!
Li Hangliang slapped himself.
"Does the other side need my help?"
Li Hangliang looked up and saw Li Shen sitting next to him with a glass of wine in his hand.
He smiled wryly and said, "Are people looking at me like I'm a joke?"
"Not entirely. I don't know about others, but my feelings towards you are: I pity your misfortune and am angry at your lack of resistance."
Li Shen took a sip of wine and put down the glass.
Men's fates are truly fascinating.
For women, marriage is like a second chance at life, and for men it is the same.
For example, a certain Dong or a certain Shi in a previous life.
Especially JD.com!
Leaving aside these big shots, even in ordinary families, if they find a virtuous and loving wife, their lives, even if not booming, are still guaranteed basic happiness and joy.
Although Li Hangliang is not the kind of singer who is purely talented, he may have achieved even greater success if his wife were not Mai Lin.
But from another perspective, it is precisely because of this unfortunate marriage with Merlin that he may be able to achieve even greater things in the future.
Merlin was both their downfall and their triumph.
Perhaps he should pursue a career as a singer of tragic love stories.
There's a saying that goes, "When you're heartbroken, every sad love song you hear feels like it's being sung for you."
What if every sad love song the people of this world hear when they are heartbroken is by Li Hangliang?
Li Hangliang, the King of Ballads!
Li Shen, the godfather of ballads!
hahaha~~~
"Li Shen, what are you laughing at?"
"Brother Liang, I've found your location, hahaha. Want to hear it?"
"Shut up! You're never going to say anything nice!"
"Today I am Tian Xiwei."
"Oh, then go ahead and tell me."
"Brother Liang, let's go for the melodramatic singer route from now on! Okay, okay!"
Li Hangliang frowned and said with disgust, "Ugh, why do you talk like that? By the way, what are you doing up here? Are you worried I might do something rash?"
"No, they kicked me out because they thought I was disgusting."
"Hahaha!" Li Hangliang laughed heartily.
Overall, he had a great time tonight!
In the tavern, on the small stage, the girl put her guitar aside after singing a song.
Seeing this, Li Hangliang said, "Shenzi, let's go sing karaoke."
Li Shen waved his hand, showing little interest: "Singing wherever there's music, and wanting to seduce every woman you see—if this were written in an online novel, it would be considered a flaw. Go ahead and sing, I'm going to criticize you."
"Ha ha."
"By the way, Brother Liang, please forgive me if Tian Xiwei offended you in any way tonight."
Li Hangliang squinted, trying to see through Li Shen. He exhaled a smoke ring and raised an eyebrow: "You're starting to care about her."
Li Shen: "???"
silence.
They both fell silent.
Li Hangliang sighed, got up, and walked to the edge of the rooftop. He put his arms on the glass railing, looked down at the bright lights and bustling city below, and felt a deep sadness in his heart.
He should be considered a good man, right?
He hands over all his copyright income, doesn't indulge in extravagance, stays home most of the time, patiently takes care of his child, and focuses on creating content. He even avoids the common trait of homebodies: he doesn't play video games...
Compared to Leung Chung and Ho Mei-yin, he has a stable income from royalties.
A few years ago, when housing prices in Beijing were at their peak, he was forced by his wife to empty his savings and spend 2000 million yuan to buy a townhouse.
But not long after the purchase, the real estate market declined, and housing prices collapsed. The villa that originally cost 2000 million yuan is now worth at most 1000 million yuan, and there are still no takers.
At this point, his wife shifted all the blame for the financial loss onto him!
But it was Mailin who wanted to buy the house in the first place!
However, the financial power was all in Mai Lin's hands. Li Hangliang didn't have a penny; the money for buying the house was transferred directly from Mai Lin's card to the seller.
Why do you always put all the blame on yourself?
The villa was dilapidated, with cracked walls and water backing up from the toilet; it needed to be renovated.
He was planning to renovate, but she had already passed away and resolutely refused to do so.
In front of outsiders, all the correct decisions in the family were made by her, while he was always blamed for the bad ones...
He's such a spineless coward!
So when others tease him, he doesn't get angry! Instead, he empathizes with them!
His grip on the glass railing tightened, veins bulging on the back of his hand, and his gaze at the bustling traffic below gradually blurred.
Suddenly, the sound of a guitar rang out behind me, along with a familiar voice.
I was standing on the roof.
Tears and neon lights blurred my vision.
The vows deceived, and the pain of belief was pierced.
Who can I tell about my heartbreak?
The singing has stopped!
Stop the guitar music!
Li Hangliang looked at Li Shen with teary eyes: "Keep singing! Why are you only singing four lines?"
"In online novels, this is called a hook."
Li Hangliang: "..."
Li Hangliang: "But your hook doesn't even hook anyone, and I don't see what's so good about it!"
Li Shen returned the guitar to the singer and said, "Brother Liang, these four lines of this song best reflect your state of mind. We can't sing any more."
The day you truly awaken, the day you break free from emotional entanglements, I will sing this entire song to you. I believe this song will lift you to new heights in your career!
Bullet comments:
[Really? I don't believe it!]
[If you're going to brag, then sing it out loud!]
[These four lines are completely uninspired; try singing four more!]
[Are you trying to create anticipation? I have absolutely no expectations of what you call anticipation!]
[Hehe, I'm not expecting anything either; these four lines don't resonate with me.]
……
The two clinked glasses.
Li Hangliang: "I'm not interested in those four lines of your song. Just give me 'Slowly' instead."
Li Shen frowned: "Why are you on it too?"
"Because, it's Oda who's begging you on my behalf now."
"Get lost!"
Li Hangliang smiled.
Let's clink glasses again.
"Shinko, it's only recently, after reuniting with you, that I've rediscovered some of the ease and joy I once had."
"Are you happy now?"
"Yes, I'm happy."
"Let's talk about something unpleasant. Liang, your wife is crying at the hot pot restaurant, and you can still laugh at this time? Are you sure you still love her?"
Li Hangliang's smile froze instantly.
In that instant, it was so heartbreaking!
Yoko came running over at that moment, all excited.
"Shenzi, Liangzi, you've come here to escape the hustle and bustle? Come on, have a drink."
Li Shen looked at him with suspicion: "Why are you here too?"
"I'm taking emergency evasive action!" Yoko took a sip of her drink to calm herself. "Shinko, your girlfriend's gone on a killing spree tonight!"
"Huh? Who did she just insult this time?"
"No, but I was eating hot pot there when she glanced at me several times. I panicked and realized something was wrong, so I ran away immediately."
The three of them burst into laughter.
