Episode 18
After returning Popeye's painting to the girl and warning Zhou Taisheng not to bully her, Nannan finally decided not to have conflicts with the girl because of Zhou Taisheng.Zhao Sugui learned about Zhou Taisheng's personality from her daughter, but she did not realize that the girl was dating Zhou Taisheng at the time.Deng Changfu directly asked Zhou Taisheng whether he was pursuing the girl. Zhou Taisheng admitted frankly, but Deng Changfu firmly opposed it, believing that Zhou Taisheng's appearance distracted the girl's attention and affected her singing career.What's more, Zhou Taisheng has an American passport and may leave at any time, which makes Deng Changfu even more distrustful of him.
However, Zhou Taisheng did not give up because of this. He began to study Chinese seriously and even looked up the dictionary, which surprised Zhou's father.Zhou's mother believed that all these changes were attributed to Nannan, and even hinted that there may be further development between Nannan and Zhou Taisheng.But Zhou's father did not agree with this view. He believed that once he returned to the United States, the connection between the two would inevitably be interrupted.
In order to broaden the girl's musical horizons, Zhou Taisheng took her to a bar and let her appreciate the charm of jazz music.He encouraged the girl to incorporate her own ideas into the songs to make the work more personalized.However, when Zhou Taisheng sent the girl home, Deng Changfu warned him again to stay away from the girl, but Zhou Taisheng insisted that he was helping the girl and exposing her to more different music forms and singing methods.
Since helping Zhou Min last time, You Yingjun began to appear frequently in the village, enthusiastically helping Zhou Min carry things.But Zhou Min felt a little uncomfortable with his enthusiastic help, so he declined most of the time.After Deng Shu observed the girl's singing practice, he found that she seemed cautious when singing on the stage, and looked back from time to time to check the face of the band teacher, which led him to guess that the girl's situation as a guest of the country was not ideal.In order to improve the girl's situation, Deng Shu personally went to the radio station to find the director, and with his help met with the owner of Majestic Cabaret.Since Yatou's contract with Guo Zhimin did not stipulate that she could not sign with other karaoke bars, Deng Shu decided to sign a contract with Majestic Cabaret on Yatou's behalf.This is not for money, but for the girl to be able to sing freely without any restrictions.
On the other hand, You Yingjun secretly entered Zhou Min's previous house, took out some items, and placed them outside her current residence, leaving without leaving any traces.Zhao Sugui planned to choose fabrics to make clothes for the girl, so she and Chen's mother took Zhou Min out for shopping.However, a sudden thunderstorm interrupted their trip.The girl hurried to Nannan's house to help collect clothes, but unexpectedly met You Yingjun.He was helping Zhou Min collect clothes and even took off his shoes.When You Xiumei saw this scene, she was very surprised and began to wonder if her brother had a crush on Zhou Min.You Xiumei objected to this, believing that Zhou Min was divorced and came from a foreign country, but these reasons did not stop You Yingjun from liking Zhou Min.
On the way home, the bus suddenly broke down. Zhao Sugui and the girl had to get off the bus halfway and called Deng Shu for help.At this time, Zhou Taisheng was silently following them on his bicycle, chatting and joking with the girl while hiding out of sight of Zhao Sugui.This made the girl feel shy and excited. At the same time, she was worried that Zhao Sugui would discover Zhou Taisheng's existence and reveal the secret between them.
