I only counted the ones who brought signs and held up cameras. There might also be some people who followed us with their cell phones, but I wasn\u2019t sure If they were fans or passersby who were attracted by the commotion so I didn\u2019t count them. Anyway the number might be higher than what I counted!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong returned to his senses, unable to keep up with what Shen Jia was thinking. He asked, \u201cWhat?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I said the total number of fans who picked you up this time is 32! When I first started out, not many people knew me, not to mention any fans picking me at the airport. By the way, your fans also made a lot of cheering videos for you, have you seen them?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheer videos?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong shook his head. \u201cNo.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve collected them all, I&#8217;ll show them to you!&#8221; Shen Jia took out his cell phone and quickly opened Le Play. Selecting one of the most liked videos from his favorites, he clicked play and gave his phone to Qi Cong.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The intro of &#8220;A New Life\u201d played in the car, with a large amount of pop-up comments spreading out in front of Qi Cong\u2019s eyes without warning.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Go for it!&#8221; &#8220;I misunderstood you before, sorry, please cheer up in the future!&#8221; &#8220;Thank you for not being beaten down, I&#8217;m happy to really know you like this.&#8221; &#8220;Congratulations to the newcomer!\u201d, \u201cQi Cong, nice to meet you. Please give us some advice in the future.&#8221; , \u201cThis video isn\u2019t good at all I only watched it more than 300 times and cried more than 100 times.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The text was dense and overlapping, covering the screen tightly so Qi Cong could only vaguely see some pop-up in gaps and some white hand-drawn animation lines.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The title of this video is &#8216;Qi Cong, I am sorry that I once called you a coward.\u2019 The video clip was made by a big account that once called you a hateful person who should be hated.\u201d\u00a0 Shen Jia pointed at his cell phone and said, \u201cBrother Cong, look.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong\u00a0 looked at Shen Jia, who was constantly urging, rubbed his fingers against the temperature that belonged to Shen Jia on the phone case and bowed his head to carefully look at the video.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The comment section became slightly less covered in words, revealing the video picture, and a person appeared on the screen using a black-and-white filter.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A line of lyrics from Qi Cong\u2019s song sounded, \u201cbut it feels like ink, it\u2019s difficult to polish them as you carry them through time and space.\u201d The person in the picture wandered ignorantly in the bustling world and suddenly bumped into another short man wearing a crown necklace. Then they walked forward with each other.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pop-up screen was once again buzzing with activity.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Jia Jia is coming out!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Hahaha, Jia Jia\u2019s miniature is so cute!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong couldn&#8217;t help but look at Shen Jia next to him. Shen Jia looked a little embarrassed as he urged him, \u201cLook quickly! Look, this mini is really well drawn.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong then withdrew his eyes again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video wasn\u2019t long, only the length of the song \u201cA New Life\u201d. The content of the video was actually very\u00a0 similar to that of the \u201cA New Life\u201d MV, except that all the characters changed from birds to black and white mini characters. The metaphorical fog used in the MV turned into the image of a group of evil demons.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What distinguishes this video from the MV was that the bad things Qi Cong experienced in the past three years, which were blurred in the MV of &#8220;A New Life,\u201d were shown clearly in this video.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The short man in the video was picked up by the devil after being sick and his true self was erased. He was then taken away from his parents, separated from his friends and was bullied in various ways. Unknowingly, the second chorus ended and the man in the video died and came back to life, finally leaving the devil and returning to his family and friends. After recovering from the illness, the ignorant man with amnesia was immersed in wind and rain again without any warning.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He tried to take a new step forward and set off, but was knocked to the ground again and again by the accusations of the Jiang family, smears and various media\u2019s explosive gossip, the biased attacks of public opinion and the huge network boycott. Again and again, as the man stood up, he was knocked down again. This made his road to a new life very difficult, and he gradually became bruised and battered, his figure getting lighter and lighter, almost dissipating before he could reach the starting point of his new life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the last chorus came. The person in a crown necklace and people representing his parents, as well as an unmarked person suddenly appeared as they together supported and protected the bruised and battered man as they ran together towards the glowing new life line.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the video, the small man wore the crown necklace given by his friend and armor given by his parents as he rushed past the glowing starting point.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dazzling white light filled the screen, making color completely reappear in a once black and white video. The low, emotional singing fell back,\u00a0 and the small man in the armor slowly turned into Qi Cong, sitting in the interview room and introduced himself seriously towards the camera. &#8220;Hello, I am Qi Cong.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the video, there was a lot of crying\u00a0 and Shen Jia who was watching the video with Qi Cong also sniffled. He reached out for his phone and said, \u201cThere are more. You should check them out Brother Cong.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another video began to play. The title of the video was \u201cYou have a nice smile&#8221;. The atmosphere of this video was relatively warm. The video began with Qi Cong sitting in the interview room making the host smile with his words.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pop-up screen was full of licking the screen comments and rainbow farts. Qi Cong glanced at the video and then concentrated on Shen Jia.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Jia leaned over, looking intently at the phone screen, his eyes a little red. Yet his tone was excited as he explained, \u201cBrother Cong, your interview video and live from that day were watched countless times by your fans. They even made a smile compilation from it and each play count is super high. It looks like they really like the way you smile. Look Brother Cong, your fans really like you!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong moved his eyes back to the phone screen. He watched as his own smiling face flashed on the screen. The pop-up comments were filled with confessions and rainbow farts and he finally understood Shen Jia\u2019s purpose for making him watch it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His best friend was a bit dumb and not very good at talking, so he will always use somewhat silly, but cute ways to comfort him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was such a good friend.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After another video ended, Shen Jia hurriedly clicked the next one. Qi Cong saw that Shen Jia\u2019s trumpet account was full of videos about him and he tightened his grip on the mobile phone.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For such a good friend, he should make arrangements that never let the other party be hurt by him again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Antiope1<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the other hand, inside the car Qi Cong knew that he probably saw incorrectly and still couldn\u2019t help but look towards the rearview mirror.
