Chapter 76 The Bright Moon Rises Over the Tianshan Mountains
Wang Bo opened Douyin (TikTok).
Special attention: "Rain Princess's Wandering Diary" has been updated today.
He opened the video and his eyes flickered slightly when he saw the Tianshan Mountains under the moonlight.
It is indeed beautiful.
It's breathtakingly beautiful.
After watching the video, he opened the comments section and, sure enough, it was filled with urging people to write poems.
"The poet has disappeared?"
"Brother Wang Bo, come out quickly!"
"It's been three and a half hours, and even the donkeys in the production team don't dare to rest like this!"
"Has he run out of creative ideas?"
"Get lost, you trolls upstairs! Wang Bo is definitely busy!"
"But I used to always find time to write, no matter how busy I was..."
"@RainyGirl'sWanderingDiary, do something about your poet!"
Wang Bo looked at the comments and couldn't help but laugh.
He was about to reply to Zhou Yuji's message when his phone suddenly vibrated—it was Zhou Yuji calling.
Wang Bo answered: "Sister Zhou."
"Wang Bo—" Zhou Yuji's drawn-out voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying a deliberately feigned, pitiful, and aggrieved tone, "You finally answered the phone..."
Wang Bo walked to the window and looked at the city night view outside: "I was busy just now, what's up?"
"You're asking me what's wrong?" Zhou Yuji's voice sounded even more aggrieved. "I posted a video and waited for four hours, but you didn't reply... My fans are getting anxious, saying you don't care about me anymore..."
Wang Bo chuckled: "Sister Zhou, you're making it sound like I started something and then abandoned it."
"Isn't that right?" Zhou Yuji said matter-of-factly. "Before, when I needed to contact you, you would respond within half an hour, but now it takes longer and longer... Are you getting annoyed? Do you feel like I'm always bothering you? Or do you think the scenery I photographed isn't beautiful enough to match your poetry?"
As the barrage of questions came crashing down on him, Wang Bo could almost picture Zhou Yuji on the other end of the phone, pouting but with her eyes sparkling as she awaited an answer.
"Sister Zhou," Wang Bo said gently, "the scenery you photographed is beautiful. The moonlit Tianshan Mountains are a magnificent sight I've never seen in my life."
"Then why don't you write poetry?" Zhou Yuji pressed, a hint of slyness hidden beneath her aggrieved expression.
"I've been in the recording studio all day, and my phone was on silent, so I didn't see it," Wang Bo said honestly. "The production team asked me to prepare two songs for this episode, just in case I fail in the first round of the competition and end up in the loser's bracket, in which case I'll have to sing another song."
Zhou Yuji was silent for two seconds, then her tone softened: "Oh... so are you still going to write it or not?"
"Write it down," Wang Bo said. "Such a beautiful scene, it would be a shame not to write it down."
A soft sigh of relief came from the other end of the phone, then she immediately picked up the phone again: "Then...then hurry up and write it, my fans are getting impatient."
"Okay," Wang Bo replied. "Sister Zhou, it must be cold where you are. Take care to keep warm."
Zhou Yuji's voice suddenly became cheerful: "I know, I'm wearing a down jacket. But you, don't stay up too late. The competition is important, but your health is more important."
"Um."
"Then... I'll hang up?" Zhou Yuji said, though she seemed a little reluctant to do so.
Goodnight, Sister Zhou.
Goodnight, Xiao Wang.
The phone hangs up.
Wang Bo held his phone, reopened the video, and watched it again.
Moonlight, snow-capped mountains, sea of clouds, starry sky.
That feeling of vastness, expanse, silence, and magnificence slowly settled in my heart.
He started typing in the comments section.
In the Western Regions, at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, at an inn.
Zhou Yuji sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), wrapped in a thick wool blanket, holding a cup of hot milk tea in her hands, her eyes fixed on her phone screen.
After hanging up the phone with Wang Bo, the little bit of grievance in her heart vanished, replaced by a secret expectation.
If Wang Bo says he'll write, then he definitely will.
He never breaks his word.
But what should I write?
Zhou Yuji kept refreshing the comments section, feeling a little smug as she watched her fans urge her on more and more impatiently—look, everyone's waiting, Wang Bo, you can't let me down.
refresh.
refresh.
Refresh again.
Suddenly, a new comment popped up.
From "Wang Bo".
Zhou Yuji's heart skipped a beat, and she tapped the screen.
A four-line poem, twenty characters long.
"The bright moon rises over the Tianshan Mountains, amidst the vast sea of clouds."
A long wind blows for tens of thousands of miles, passing through the Jade Gate Pass.
Zhou Yuji stared at the four lines of text and read them over and over again.
Once, twice, three times.
The bright moon rises over the Tianshan Mountains—this is the moon over the Tianshan Mountains that she photographed.
Amidst a vast sea of clouds—the video shows a sea of clouds flowing between snow-capped mountains.
A long wind blows for tens of thousands of miles, passing through the Jade Gate Pass...
Zhou Yuji suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
This is not a simple description of scenery.
"A long wind blows for tens of thousands of miles, passing through the Jade Gate Pass" - A long wind blows from tens of thousands of miles away, passing through the Jade Gate Pass.
Where is Yumen Pass?
To the east, in the direction where Wang Bo is located.
This wind blows from the Tianshan Mountains towards Yumen Pass.
It was blowing from her to him.
This is... longing.
She did miss Lin'an, her best friend, and her boyfriend.
For the past three years, her posture has been wrong, and the little man can't find the right spot.
It delayed their time.
Zhou Yuji held her phone, her fingertips gently tracing the four lines of text on the screen. Her heart was pounding, and her cheeks were burning.
She remembered how she had deliberately feigned distress on the phone, Wang Bo's gentle comfort, and his words, "Such a beautiful scene, it would be a shame not to write about it."
So he wrote it.
These four lines were written in a way that was more beautiful, more magnificent, and more alluring than she had imagined.
The name Yumen Pass has a double meaning, no, it has three meanings.
The comments section has exploded.
"Here they come! The poet is here!"
"The bright moon rises over the Tianshan Mountains, amidst the vast sea of clouds... I got goosebumps!"
"These four lines... are absolutely brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"
"A long wind blows for tens of thousands of miles, passing through the Jade Gate Pass... What kind of divine imagination is this!"
"The imagery is so vivid; it's as if I can see the wind blowing across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers!"
"This is more powerful than any poem before!"
"Rain Princess, look! Your poet has unleashed another amazing attack!"
"This is no longer just describing scenery; it's expressing ideas and emotions!"
"I declare this the most beautiful poem I've seen all year!"
"@RainPrincessWanderingDiary, are you satisfied now? Your poet didn't disappoint you, did he?"
As Zhou Yuji looked at the comments, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, higher and higher.
She opened her WeChat chat with Wang Bo, wanted to say something, typed a few words, and then deleted them.
In the end, I only sent one emoji: [A cartoon cat rolling around hugging the moon, captioned: Aaaaaah, I'm dead!]
A few seconds later, Wang Bo replied, "I'm glad Sister Zhou likes it."
Zhou Yuji rolled around on the kang (a heated brick bed) with her phone in her arms, wrapping herself up in a wool blanket.
like?
It's more than just liking.
It's love at first sight.
It's the kind of heart-fluttering feeling of being treated with care, understood, and described with the most beautiful words.
She reopened the four lines of poetry, read them over and over again, then took a screenshot and set it as her phone wallpaper.
They're fickle and don't want the lines about "a lone plume of smoke rising straight in the vast desert."
After finishing all this, Zhou Yuji sent Su Xiaoxiao a WeChat message: "Xiaoxiao, have you seen it?"
Su Xiaoxiao replied quickly: "I read it, it's well written. Congratulations on successfully seducing Wang Bo again."
Zhou Yuji: "What seduction? This is artistic resonance!"
Su Xiaoxiao: "Yes, yes, yes, we resonated with 'Yumen Pass'! Here's what you said to me and my sister—my best friend is so awesome and beautiful!"
Zhou Yuji's face flushed, and she went to find a small mirror.
It should still be quite beautiful.
