Chapter 58 Running away from home
Bai Kun lay comfortably on his sofa and played with his mobile phone. During the Chinese New Year, this is how leisure should be.

His wife, on the other hand, pressed the remote control and shuttled through major TV stations, hoping to find a drama she liked.

Suddenly a singing sound came into Bai Kun's ears:

"...regardless of generals and princes
Never mind

just ask for love to dissolve
This world of mortals is in chaos forever..."

"Wait," Bai Kun said to his wife, "This song is really nice."

His wife didn't intend to continue tuning the channel either, the two of them watched the title of this TV series together and listened to it together.

"...If you have love in your life, why are you afraid of wind and sand?
Sad white hair can't keep the youth
Leaving the country as picturesque
make her smile like a flower
Resist the empty worries of this life..."

The two listened, and held each other's hands. Suddenly, they wanted to ignore all worldly gazes and achieve an earth-shattering love.

But they also thought that the two were already a couple, and there was no resistance from the secular world, so the two of them actually felt somewhat happy in their hearts.

Bai Kun said: "There are not many songs!"

"Yeah," his wife echoed, "This TV show can spend so much money choosing a theme song, it should be a big-produced TV show, why haven't I seen it for promotion before?"

If you have heard this theme song before, you will definitely have an impression.

Bai Kun listened to a few more lines of the song, then sat up suddenly: "This seems to be Wei Wang's song!"

He was one of the first people to listen to "Princess", and later witnessed the success of "Traveling Mountains and Rivers" on the "New Chart". Now he is a complete fan of Wei Wang and My Neighbor Totoro.

Bai Kun picked up the phone: "What's the name of this TV series? "Cheng Wang Jie", let me check the theme song information!"

After seeing the message on his phone, he smiled and said, "Let me just say it! This is really Totoro's song! Unexpectedly, My Neighbor Totoro has already started to take over the theme song!"

His wife ignored him.

Bai Kun continued: "I told you to add Totoro's song to the playlist. You still think he is a newcomer, so you have to think about it. Now you accept it? People Zheng Guogong put Totoro's song It’s in the playlist, what else do you think about?”

Seeing that his wife hadn't paid attention to him, he looked at his wife, only to see that his wife was watching TV intently.

Bai Kun lightly kicked his wife: "Didn't you hear me?"

His wife pushed his foot away: "This TV series is pretty good."

Bai Kun also looked at the TV, and was soon attracted by the plot of "The Tribulation of the King". It is the work of a senior director.

When an episode of "The Tribulation of the King" ended, Bai Kun and his wife were still a little bit unsatisfied. They looked at the subtitles at the end of the film and wanted to see which master's work it was.

"Mao Ning? Why haven't you heard of this director?" Bai Kun looked at his wife.

His wife shook her head too.

Bai Kun said: "Although this new director has two talents, he is also inspired by Totoro!"

……

Zheng Guo, the Duke's bedroom.

Zheng Chuqiao, who had just finished a social gathering, leaned on the couch with a tired face while listening to soft music.

Wu Xi suddenly came to ask for an audience, Zheng Chuqiao waved to Wu Xi, motioning for Wu Xi to sit there for a while, and he will take a rest before dealing with government affairs.

Wu Xi didn't sit on the chair, but changed the song.

Zheng Chuqiao didn't bother, and still leaned on the couch to rest.

As soon as he heard the prelude, Zheng Chuqiao knew it was a new song.

"Beacon smoke rises to find love like waves washing sand
Meeting her is like spring water reflecting pear blossoms

Swipe the pen to break the end of the world and let go of the lovesickness
In my dream, I was obsessed with..."

Zheng Chuqiao nodded. This ancient song is quite poetic and very good.

As you continue to listen, the song becomes majestic, and there is some tenderness in the majesty.

As the lord of a country, Zheng Chuqiao has a sense of substitution for this majestic momentum. He recalled the high spirits when he first took the throne, and recalled the joy of meeting a confidante.

There is also the helplessness and grief of having to watch a confidante get married as a woman.

He also thought about giving up the throne and staying with the beautiful woman forever, but when he ascended to this position, there were too many ties, and he couldn't let go if he wanted to.

"...If you don't have any resentment in your heart, you can follow her with love and hatred."
There is no end to the road of love between heaven and earth
Just for her to stand in the world..."

Zheng Chuqiao read softly: "Only for her, I have nothing to do with the world."

In the world, there is always something to give and something to gain. As the lord of a country, he has to give up the love of his life, which is very fair.

But when he made that decision, the act of giving up what he loved would become the regret of his life.

"Is this Wei Wang's song again?" Zheng Chuqiao asked after a song was played.

Wu Xi hurriedly replied: "Your superior ear is extraordinary, this is Wei Wang's new song."

Zheng Chuqiao asked again: "Composing music?"

"It's still My Neighbor Totoro, it's the theme song of the TV series "King Tribulation"."

"King Cheng of Zhou!" Zheng Chuqiao sighed: "Everyone says he is a foolish king, but in my eyes, he is a free king!"

He sat up and continued: "There is also last month's "Treading Mountains and Rivers". Totoro portrayed Zhou Jingwang's domineering and ambitious. This Totoro is not a king but a king! Hey~"

Zheng Chuqiao sighed: "When will Zheng Guo produce such a talent?"

……

Mu Bai looked helplessly at his sister who was in a hurry: "Didn't you keep urging me? Why aren't you ready yet?"

Going to Yang Wenjun's house for a party today, my sister started urging Mu Bai to hurry up, but Mu Bai was about to leave, and Mu Lan hadn't finished washing his face, so Mu Bai and his mother started urging Mu Lan again.

It seemed that she had to wait a while before leaving, so mother Xiang Hanxue simply turned on the TV to watch the news for a while.

Mu Bai also followed suit. The latest big news is that the civil war between Chu and Qin is about to begin. During the Chinese New Year, Chu and Qin are going to war again because of territorial disputes.

Thinking about the scene of Wen Zhan, Mu Bai shook his head with a helpless smile, can that be called "war"?It is more like a team building between literati of the two countries.

Although he has been in this world for a long time, Mu Bai has never been interested in this kind of "military affairs".

The next piece of news is the local news of Pinghai Prefecture, saying that Pinghai Prefecture is preparing to vigorously develop tourism, and is now soliciting publicity plans and mascots from across the country.

Mu Bai yawned. According to the memory of the original owner, Pinghai Mansion has been talking about developing tourism for several years, and it has not seen any results until now.

He was about to urge his sister again, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Xiang Hanxue opened the door, and the person standing outside was Yang Wenjun: "Wenjun, why are you here?"

Seeing Yang Wenjun dragging his suitcase and backpack, she immediately understood that he had run away from home again.

Xiang Hanxue hurriedly said, "Come in, come in."

Yang Wenjun laughed and said, "Auntie, can I come to your house for a few days?"
