On January 15, Lu Chen finished his nationwide signing and promotion tour for his new album and returned to Beijing.
In less than half a month, he traveled to seven major cities in China, stayed in Xiangjiang for two days, and finally flew back to the capital from Baodao, a total journey of several thousand kilometers.
In every city, Lu Chen was enthusiastically welcomed by local fans, so much so that the Xinhua Bookstores in the following cities restricted the number of people entering, and screened them through computer rankings, otherwise there would be pressure to receive them. It's really too huge.
Although it is very hard work, the results are also very remarkable. Since the new album "Lu Chen" was released on the 1st, as of the evening of the 14th, the total sales have reached 6.5 million.
Although most of them are digital albums, such results have already broken the first-week and second-week sales records of the previous two albums. It is only a matter of time before the total sales record is broken.
Not only in China, such a high sales volume is definitely among the best in the world, and can be compared with several top singers in the United Kingdom and the United States.
Therefore, some people in the industry commented with jealousy that the album sales record set by Lu Chen could only be broken by him, without any exception!
Directly proportional to the sales of the album is the reputation of fans. Lu Chen used his third album to defend his unshakable king status in the pop music world and also established a solid foundation for the title of "the most outstanding songwriter". monument.
Driven by this album, the originally quiet pop music scene has become active again. Many singers and record media companies are soliciting Chinese-style works, hoping to use this trend to gain popularity.
But for Lu Chen, no matter how high the sales of the new album are or how enthusiastic the market response is, it is of no importance. The most important thing is to return home and accompany Filia Chen.
Lu Chen opened the door with the key, put the suitcase on the wall, and immediately smelled the aroma of food.
Huh?
Lu Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised, because there was rarely any cooking at home, and he would always be the one to cook for meals at home.
With a trace of doubt, he put on his shoes and walked towards the kitchen.
There were several plates of steaming home-cooked dishes on the tables outside. The dishes were very simple, mainly scrambled eggs, braised pork and green vegetables, and a plate of fried peanuts.
In the kitchen, a graceful lady in an apron was making soup. She carefully picked up the lid of the casserole, scooped out some soup with a spoon, tasted it, then added some salt and covered it again.
Suddenly a pair of hands stretched out from behind her and hugged her waist.
"ah!"
Filia Chen was startled and almost dropped the spoon in her hand.
Lu Chen held her in his arms, put his chin on her shoulder, greedily sniffed his lover's breath, and asked with a smile: "Why did you remember to cook by yourself?"
"You scared me to death!"
Filia Chen, who woke up, hit his head with a spoon and said bitterly: "It's a sudden attack without any sound. It doesn't matter if you scare me. What if you scare the baby?"
The baby hasn't taken shape yet, right? Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Honey, I know I was wrong."
Filia Chen snorted: "You heartless person, I knew you were coming back today, so I went to cook for you. I didn't expect you..."
Lu Chen hugged her tightly: "I was really wrong."
With that said, he leaned over and kissed Filia Chen's face to express his apology.
Filia Chen was stung by his stubble and giggled, turning her head to dodge, only to be kissed on the mouth by Lu Chen.
A little farewell was better than a newlywed, and the two hugged each other and kissed each other in a loving and tender way in the kitchen.
But considering the baby in Filia Chen's belly, although the love was burning, the two of them still controlled themselves well. Filia Chen was in the first trimester of pregnancy. During this period, the placenta was in the formation stage and was in an unstable state to prevent miscarriage.
If the progesterone secretion is not sufficient, miscarriage or threatened abortion is most likely to occur.
It is the first baby of two people, no matter how cautious it is, it is still necessary.
"Try my craftsmanship..."
Filia Chen asked Lu Chen to sit down at the dining table, scooped a bowl of soup for him with her own hands, and then a bowl of rice, looking at him with expectant eyes.
Lu Chen was not polite. He put a chopstick into his mouth and took two sips of the soup.
After swallowing it in three mouthfuls, he praised: "It's really good, it's so delicious!"
Filia Chen rolled her eyes at Lu Chen and said, "You know how to make me happy. I have just started learning to cook. How can I be so good? Your acting skills are not good either!"
“It’s great for beginners…”
Lu Chen smiled and asked again: "Why do you think of cooking by yourself? Didn't you say that you would find a nanny to take care of you? Didn't my sister find one for you?"
Before he left Beijing, he discussed with Lu Xi to find an experienced nanny to take care of Filia Chen.
Filia Chen said: "Sister Lu Xi told me, but I don't need other people's care for now. Let's talk about it later. Staying at home is boring, so I learned to cook by myself."
She gave Lu Chen a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks: "Eat quickly, I've already eaten it."
Although Filia Chen's skills as a beginner were not very good, the fried eggs were a bit burnt, the vegetables were overcooked, and the ginseng chicken soup was not tasty enough, Lu Chen still ate with gusto and ate three bowls of rice in a row.
After dinner, Lu Chen naturally took over the task of clearing away the dishes.
It was already dark at this moment, and through the kitchen window, you could see the lights of thousands of houses outside.
Although his body is still very tired, Lu Chen's spirit is completely relaxed. No matter how hard it is outside, home will always be a warm haven, especially for celebrities like him and Filia Chen, such a plain but warm home
Daily life is extremely rare.
Putting all the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher, wiping the dining table, Lu Chen washed his hands and returned to the living room.
Filia Chen was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and the large laser projection screen was showing the scene of Lu Chen signing a book in Baodao Beicheng yesterday.
"A lonely candle of separation and sorrow stands at the window. I pretend you haven't left behind the door. The old place is even more lonely like revisiting the full moon. The candlelight that wakes me up in the middle of the night can't bear to criticize me."
"It's hard to swallow a pot of wandering around the world. After you leave, the wine warms the memories and misses you..."
In the picture, Lu Chen is singing "East Wind Break" from the album. This work with a strong Chinese style has been widely praised. Together with "Blue and White Porcelain", it is regarded as a representative work of "Chinese style" and is currently very popular.
Lu Chen sang three songs at the book signing in Baodao Beicheng, and "East Wind Breaks" was considered the finale.
He walked over and sat down on the sofa, and gently took Filia Chen into his arms.
The two of them were silent, but they were extremely warm and sweet.
And the singing continued.
"...
Who is playing the song Dongfeng Po on the pipa?
Time peels off the wall and I see my childhood,
I still remember that we were still very young at that time,
But now you have not heard the faint sound of my waiting.
..."——
