Chapter 90

Hearing her good friend’s words, Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "How would I know?"

"Hee hee, then are you buying this album?"

"Buying it!"

"Mm, I’m buying it too. My money might not be enough, can you lend me some money then?"

"Okay."

Time passed day by day...

Amidst the anticipation of countless people, time reached April 13th.

Early that morning, Yang Mi and her good friend had agreed to go buy the album together.

However, upon arriving at the video store, they found that a long line had formed.

"Ah, so many people."

"Don't dawdle, hurry up and get in line!"

Yang Mi pushed her friend and said.

As she said this, the two hurriedly walked to the back of the line and started waiting.

Time passed bit by bit...

People who bought the album left excitedly, while those still in line waited anxiously.

About half an hour passed.

Finally, it was Yang Mi and her good friend’s turn.

After each of them bought an album, they ran quickly toward the school.

And at this moment, they heard the video store owner’s voice from behind.

"Chen Mo’s album is sold out, there’s no stock now, those who want to buy it will have to come back tomorrow."

Listening to the video store owner’s words, Yang Mi and her friend felt lucky in their hearts!

Soon they ran to school, and the two spent their school life in a day that felt like years.

When the school bell rang, Yang Mi and her friend ran toward the outside of the school at the same time.

Ten minutes later...

Yang Mi said goodbye to her friend and returned home.

A few years ago, she moved here with her parents. Although she had long been accustomed to it, she would still occasionally go to the old residential complex to take a look.

"Why are you in such a hurry to come back? Did you run back?"

Yang Mu asked in confusion, seeing Yang Mi running back panting.

"Mm."

Yang Mi said "Mm."

Then she walked quickly to the sofa, opened her schoolbag, and took out the *Bamboo Horse* album.

The album cover was the same as the one on the poster.

The only difference was that the back of the album had the tracklist.

After looking at the tracklist, Yang Mi opened the album, took out the disc inside, and put it into the CD player.

Soon the album began to play.

The first song was the album’s lead single, "Sunny Day."

First, the MV played. The two protagonists of the MV started from meeting each other, and as the story unfolded, the sound of the guitar rang out, mixed with other instruments.

The sound was pleasant, carrying the innocence of youth.

Listening to the music, Yang Mi watched the MV intently.

*The little yellow flowers of the story, drifting since the year of birth.*

Chen Mo’s voice rang out.

Listening to the singing, Yang Mi’s eyes showed a strange look.

*The childhood swing, swaying with memories until now.*

Childhood swing?

In her childhood memories, did the two of them play on a swing?

Yang Mi tried hard to think about the memories from many years ago, but she was really too young at that time, and she couldn't remember clearly.

"Mom, was there a swing in our old neighborhood?"

Yang Mi couldn't help but ask Yang Mu, who was cooking in the kitchen.

"A swing? No, but there was one in the complex where you went to kindergarten at that time. When you were young, you loved playing on the swing with Chen Mo and Liu Yifei the most."

Yang Mu’s voice came from the kitchen.

Listening to Yang Mu’s voice, Yang Mi’s eyes flickered, and a strange look appeared on her face.

He still remembers!

A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Mi’s mouth, then her big eyes narrowed, and she listened quietly to Chen Mo’s singing.

*On a windy day, I tried holding your hand.*

*But the rain grew heavier until I couldn't see you.*

*How much longer until I can be by your side?*

*Maybe I’ll be better when the sky clears.*

Soon the song ended, and the next one began to play.

However, Yang Mi picked up the remote control and played this song again.

She liked this song, not just because Chen Mo sang it well, but also because of the lyrics.

*How much longer until I can return to your side?*

On the other side...

Xiangjiang, in the hospital room.

Chen Mo was peeling an orange, while Mei Yanfang was looking at Chen Mo with a smile from the hospital bed.

"How is the album selling?"

Mei Yanfang asked with a smile.

Chen Mo broke the peeled orange, then took a piece with his right hand and handed it to Mei Yanfang’s mouth.

"I don't know, Master. Today is the first day of the album release, who knows the results."

Chen Mo said.

Mei Yanfang rolled her eyes at Chen Mo and reached out to take the orange, but Chen Mo dodged and put it back to Mei Yanfang’s mouth.

Mei Yanfang smiled, then opened her mouth and let Chen Mo feed her.

"It’s been two months since you came back this time. When are you planning to go back? Or are you staying in China from now on?"

Mei Yanfang asked.

Chen Mo said: "Going back. The movie I shot there has already started promotion, and the scheduled release date is in early May, which is only half a month away. I have to go and run the promotion with the crew."

"Mm, that’s good. It’s fine, you can go with peace of mind. Don't worry about the album, your Aunt Huimin will help you keep an eye on it, and I’ll be able to be discharged soon, so I’ll keep an eye on it too."

Mei Yanfang smiled.

"Hehe, thank you, Master. Come, eat an orange."

As he said this, Chen Mo handed it over again.

Time flew by...

Two days later.

The sales figures for the day of the album release were calculated!

The daily sales in Xiangjiang and Wanwan were 250,000 copies, South Korea 120,000 copies, Japan 90,000 copies, and Malaysia, Singapore, and other countries 210,000 copies.

And the Chinese mainland reached an astonishing 300,000 copies!

In total, the album *Bamboo Horse* had total sales of 970,000 copies in Southeast Asia!

It was 30,000 copies short of breaking one million!

After this data was announced, everyone was shocked!
