"I can't leave the storm, there's no time to escape. I can't think about it anymore, I can't think about it anymore..."
Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard the song coming from the Sony Walkman.
Before he knew it, it was already 2001. While he was busy filming "Jurassic Park III," Jay Chou had already released his first album "Jay" on November 7, 2000, officially starting his journey to becoming a music legend.
This song "Tornado" was included in the first album.
"Are you used to listening to this song? It's sung by a new singer, and I quite like his songs." Liu Yifei asked.
A new singer? Lin Yuan felt like laughing. This feeling was truly bizarre.
New singer Jay Chou.
As for the song, how could he not like it?
Jay Chou was a singer with special meaning to Lin Yuan, as well as a large number of people born in the 80s, 90s, and even 00s.
His songs accompanied us as we grew up, through the ups and downs of life, and eventually became the anchor of our youthful memories.
In Lin Yuan's memory of his previous life, the last moment was when he fell into darkness accompanied by Jay Chou's songs.
"I also like his songs. He will become a legend in the Chinese music scene in the future," said Lin Yuan.
Liu Yifei asked curiously, "Why do you give it such a high evaluation?"
She was a little bit unbelievable. Although Jay Chou's songs were very nice, he was still a newcomer after all.
Who knew whether he would be able to walk steadily in the future? Maybe he would run out of ideas.
"Of course, truly talented people will never be buried."
"It feels like you are talking about yourself." The Celestial Being said with a smile.
"Let's stop talking and go to bed. It's getting late." Lin Yuan didn't respond, but looked at the time on the Rolex watch on his hand.
"Okay, go to sleep."
Liu Yifei took out a pink blanket from her backpack, shook it, unfolded it, and covered herself with it.
Only half covered.
Seeing Lin Yuan looking at her, she closed her eyes and said, "Let's go to sleep. I'll share some of the blanket with you. Don't catch a cold."
She looked extremely casual and natural, but her slightly red ears revealed that she was not as calm as she appeared.
Lin Yuan looked at the small blanket. If he wanted to cover two people, they had to stick together tightly.
Think about it, she was the one who prepared the blanket, it was not big, and she only prepared one blanket... This was simply Sima Zhao's intention.
But Lin Yuan would not point it out. He quietly lifted the blanket and crawled in.
It's so nice to have a relationship that goes both ways. A bootlicker would never experience this feeling.
Lin Yuan closed his eyes and smelled the girlish fragrance coming from Liu Yifei, which was a faint scent like lily and smelled very good.
The sound of her gentle breathing as her chest rose and fell was as pleasant as ever.
Although both of them were wearing outer clothes, he could feel her body temperature through the blanket, which was very warm and heartwarming.
In a way, this could be considered as sleeping together, right?
In fact, there was also a blanket in Lin Yuan's backpack, which was also not very big.
If he was stupid enough to take it out, then he would be truly hopeless.
Under the blanket, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand, passed through Liu Yifei's soft and slender waist, and gently hugged her with one hand.
Even through her down jacket, Lin Yuan could still feel her waist tense up instantly, but then immediately relaxed and let him hold her.
Covered under the blanket, others could not see Lin Yuan's movements. Did this mean he was in an uninhabited path?
She was the one who answered that it was okay to put her arm around the waist, so it shouldn't be too much.
After doing this, Lin Yuan did not try any more excessive actions.
He relaxed his mind and fell asleep.
…
…
So numb!
The stabbing pain woke Lin Yuan from his sleep.
He shook his right hand which was numb from being pressed, gently lifted the blanket and stood up.
It was certainly pleasant to fall asleep with Liu Yifei in his arms, but the price was the loss of qi and blood, and numbness in his forearms.
Lin Yuan looked out the window; it was still dark.
It was now 4 o'clock in the morning, and Liu Yifei was still sleeping soundly.
A Celestial Being was still a Celestial Being even when she was asleep. She looked beautiful no matter what, with beauty from every angle.
Lin Yuan carefully covered her with the blanket, adjusted the U-shaped pillow, and then got up to go to the bathroom.
The restroom was located far away, at the end of the carriage, so he walked carefully and lightly to avoid waking up other sleeping passengers.
Lin Yuan, who was walking in the darkness, did not notice that a pair of bright little eyes opened and stared at his back.
When Lin Yuan left the bathroom, he was surprised to find that the blonde girl was guarding the door.
"Are you Lin Yuan?"
"Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?"
"Ha! I wasn't mistaken!" The little girl laughed out loud, but immediately lowered her voice. "In the movies and promo videos I saw before, you were always wearing traditional Chinese costumes. I stared at you for a long time today, worried I might have recognized the wrong person."
"So you are my fan?" Lin Yuan asked.
With the popularity of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in North America, it was not surprising that Lin Yuan was recognized by some people.
But he always thought that most of the audience would become fans of Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, and Zhang Ziyi. His character actually didn't have a strong presence, so not many people would pay attention to him.
In fact, Lin Yuan underestimated the influence of his promo video.
That sword dance promo segment had been considered by many European and American audiences to be the most beautiful and oriental promo film.
He didn't know how many people watched that promo clip many times.
Hearing Lin Yuan's answer, the little girl nodded vigorously: "Yes! Can you sign an autograph for me?"
She handed over a small notebook and a pen.
"Of course, what's your name?" Lin Yuan was definitely very friendly to his fans.
"Taylor, Taylor Swift." The little girl said seriously.
"…"
Hearing this name, Lin Yuan was stunned.
No wonder he felt so familiar when he saw this little girl; it turned out she was Taylor Swift who hadn't grown up yet!
If we were to ask which female singer would have the most extensive commercial influence in the next twenty years, it would undoubtedly be Taylor Swift, affectionately called "Swift" by her fans.
"Red", "Shake it off", "Blank Space", "I Don't Wanna Live Forever"... She had countless popular songs and dominated an entire era.
And 14 Grammy Awards, 32 American Music Awards, 23 Billboard Music Awards... these countless awards were not enough to describe her brilliance.
What was truly astonishing was the height of her peak and how long it lasted.
In addition, most of her popular songs were written by herself, which made her talent fundamentally different from other popular singers.
Taylor's influence and status in the European and American pop music scene might be even higher than Jay Chou's in the Chinese music scene.
After all, Jay Chou fell into a slump in the later period, while Taylor had always been at the top.
Such a future superstar was actually his fan?
