Chapter 48: Overwhelmed by tenderness
"My cousin, Wang Tianshu."
It's like being issued a task by an NPC, but you don't want to read the task description. You just follow the automatic pathfinding and kill monsters. If you have enough, go back and turn in the task to gain experience.
After the school beauty greeted Lu Yao, she directly introduced her cousin behind her without waiting for Lu Yao to speak.
But...she saw the cigarette in Lu Yao's hand.
There was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
When did he start smoking?
After Lu Yao heard this, he naturally nodded politely and said hello:
"Hello, cousin, I am Lu Yao, the monitor's classmate."
"Hey, hello."
Wang Tianshu actually reached out his hand.
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and stretched out his hand.
Then, he said to the two of them:
"Hu Li...my sister. Sister Li, this is my classmate Wei Qianqian."
"Hmm, hello."
Hu Li had actually been sizing up Wei Qianqian just now.
After looking her up and down, there was a kind smile on her face.
"Hello, sister."
Wei Qianqian also greeted politely, while Wang Tianshu extended his hand again:
"Sister Li, long time no see. It's been a few months since I last attended Yourun's birthday."
"Yes, we will indeed see you someday."
Hu Li still smiled and shook his hand, then smiled and said:
"Why did you come out?"
"Go and get some clothes for her in the car. The air conditioner inside is a bit cold. Does Sister Li need it?"
"I don't have to, it's not cold. Let's have a drink after the game is over?"
After hearing this, Wang Tianshu immediately smiled and nodded:
"No problem, I'll be there in a while. I didn't even have time to have a drink last time. I have to take the initiative this time."
"Hehe, okay~"
Following Hu Li's agreement, Wang Tianshu glanced at Wei Qianqian and asked:
"Are you waiting for me here?"
"I... will come with you."
I don't know why, but since she learned from her cousin that the sister in front of her is actually a crazy beauty, she has been a little timid.
Even if Lu Yao is here...
"Okay, Sister Li, I'll take her to the car to get some clothes to change into."
"Well, get a thicker one, yours is facing the air outlet."
"Okay."
Wang Tianshu agreed and walked towards the cars at the entrance of the bar with Wei Qianqian who waved to Lu Yao.
As soon as the two of them left, Lu Yao looked at Hu Li.
Hu Li was actually looking at him.
"You two have a good relationship?"
This is what Hu Li asked.
And Lu Yao also asked:
"Sister Li knows her cousin?"
Hu Li shook his head:
"I don't remember...this girl is quite beautiful."
Obviously, the class beauty's deliberately low-key dress today still did not escape her eyes.
"Well, the beauty of our school. At least the senior high school students think so."
"You think so too?"
Hu Li smiled half-heartedly, and her charm began to spread.
Lu Yao nodded:
"Yes. She is indeed the most beautiful in the entire senior year of high school. But in order not to lose my life, I think she is not as beautiful as Sister Li."
"Uh..."
Hu Li was stunned for a moment, and then she patted him dumbfounded:
"Slippery!"
She didn't take it seriously, and she didn't intend to ask any questions.
Why are you making things difficult for the boy in front of you?
Moreover, her attention was not focused on these questions, but she asked with interest:
"What song are you going to sing later?"
"Hmm... I don't know. Now I'm just worried about whether I can sing well."
"Don't worry, I will applaud you even if you are out of tune."
"...I'm even more nervous."
"Hehehehe~"
……
Wang Tianshu's car is actually not far away, it is a white Audi A4.
He has two sets of changing clothes in his car, which he will change when he works out or needs to distinguish between occasions.
After giving the clothes to her cousin, Wei Qianqian put on the sports coat directly.
In fact, she is not cold either. The weather in Shanghai is not "cold" at all. But who let my cousin find this excuse?
After she put on her coat, she found that her cousin had been looking towards the door. She also took a glance and saw the smiling face of the crazy sister.
Frankly speaking, this sister's temperament is really great, and she is one of the most temperamental people she has ever seen.
It's a pity that he is a crazy critic.
After retracting her gaze, she looked at her cousin again.
After thinking for a while, she squatted down and said to her cousin:
"You really want to get involved with that sister?"
"Think."
Wang Tianshu nodded without any disguise:
"If she can speak a word, it would cost me five years of hard work."
Wei Qianqian rolled her eyes:
"My uncle only wants you to do research, so you are better off...the road is getting crooked. If he finds out, he will definitely break your legs."
"..."
Wang Tianshu was speechless. He looked down at the girl he had grown up with and shook his head:
"You are still young..."
"Ah, right, right. Then hurry up and start a relationship. It's best that the sister can like you."
"..."
Wang Tianshu's mouth twitched.
"Damn girl, can't you say something nice!?"
"I'm right, you look like you're trying to knock in the door upside down."
"..."
Wang Tianshu was even more speechless.
But...
He looked at Hu Li again.
Hu Li raised a few fingers and was talking to Lu Yao.
After looking at it for two seconds, he sighed helplessly:
"I don't want to, and I don't dare."
"Cut~"
Wei Qianqian became increasingly speechless.
But he was kicked by his cousin:
"Okay, let's go."
……
The four of them came back together, with Hu Li and Wang Tianshu in front, and Lu Yao and Wei Qianqian behind.
"You didn't drink?"
"No, have you been drinking?"
"No. I have to drive soon."
"Do you have a driver's license?"
"Yes."
"I was just going to study."
"Then how are you and your cousin going back soon?"
"Let's hire a driver. I'm already sleepy... He insisted on dragging me to watch the game. I can't even understand, can you understand?"
"Believe me, no one knows football better than me."
"...Why is this sentence structure so strange?"
"Then I'll change it to English..."
"...It's even weirder."
The two of them came to the booth talking and laughing before they separated.
And the singer who Hu Li called "noisy" finally left.
As soon as Hu Li sat down, Brother Yu yelled that she was missing a glass of wine. Hai Hou, who was in a good mood, welcomed everyone who came, while Lu Yao sat on the sofa and continued to stare at the big screen.
In the second half...Mexico, you have to live up to your expectations.
My brother's life and fortune are in your hands.
Soon, the game started again.
And the facts prove that Mexico is indeed up to date.
In the 63rd minute, they scored a goal.
1 to 0!
In the 76th minute, a player was tripped by a French player. The commentators thought it was a dive, but the referee firmly gave a penalty kick.
The adoptive father did a great job!
2 to 0!
"!"
Lu Yao's fists clenched instantly.
His nails dug into the flesh and he felt nothing.
And his excited look was in sharp contrast to other French fans.
But he couldn't care less. When watching the group of Mexican players set up a bus in their own half under the "commentator's suggestion", Lu Yao's attention was completely focused on the passing time.
80 minutes…
85 minutes…
90 minutes…
2 minutes of injury time...
After 92 minutes, when the final whistle sounded, along with the voice of the commentator, "Mexico defeated France 2-0," he felt as if someone had been fished out of hot water. , the back is already sweaty.
Leaning on the sofa, I took a long breath...
Sixty-five thousand, odds of 3.5.
227,500.
After deducting 20% tax, the amount he can receive is 182,000!
182,000... If his bonus could be 300,000, then... there would be a shortfall of 20,000 yuan from Lu Qing's two-year tuition.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
And this time the champion is Spain!
No matter how low the odds are, 20,000 yuan shouldn’t be difficult!
Done!
Master Tao, I'm done!
At this moment, he suddenly felt exhausted.
At this time, Hu Li turned around and saw him "slumped" on the sofa.
He came closer and asked:
"Sleepy?"
"No."
Lu Yao jumped up from the sofa.
Sleepy?
How could I be sleepy!
He was in a very good mood right now.
Hu Li tilted his head, thinking he was a little strange.
But he didn't think much about it, because this would make the game over and it was time for Lu Yao to "fulfill" the agreement.
"I want to listen to music."
She said with a smile.
Lu Yaoxin said listen!
Just listen!
All the money is in place!
I can sing to you all night today.
After receiving two years of his sister's tuition, he nodded in a good mood:
"Okay, shall I go up directly?"
"...So brave?"
Hu Li was a little surprised.
Obviously, at this moment... this inexplicable yet energetic Lu Yao was different from the boy she knew...
But inexplicably, she also looked forward to it.
So confident...you must be very good at it, right?
So, she nodded with a smile and said to Brother Yu next to her:
"My brother wants to sing a song."
Brother Yu was stunned, glanced at Lu Yao, and said with a smile:
"Sing, brother, whatever you want to sing, I'll ask them to find an accompaniment for you."
Anyway, it’s my own bar, plus there are distinguished guests.
Do whatever you want.
But Lu Yao shook his head:
"No, I'll play it myself."
"Oh?... Then you go. I'll ask them to turn on the microphone for you. Do you want to host?"
"No, no, no."
Lu Yao waved his hand, stood up under Hu Li's expectant eyes, and walked directly towards the stage.
And his movements were naturally noticed by Wei Qianqian.
She didn't think much about it at first, thinking that Lu Yao was going to the toilet, until...she saw Lu Yao standing on the small stage of the bar.
At this time, the people in the bar band had heard the boss's instructions. It was probably Brother Yu who told them the situation and asked them to come up and help. But before they arrived, Lu Yao, who was on stage, picked up the guitar that was placed on the instrument stand.
Instead of an electric guitar, he chose a folk guitar. He didn't even look for a pick. After slinging the guitar, he played with it gently with his fingers, and a melody sounded like flowing water.
The other guests in the bar also looked over.
To be honest, it's quite abrupt.
A "kid" with a tender face and a strong face is wearing an NBA uniform and sitting in front of a microphone with a guitar. His style is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.
But...
The lights on the small stage also turned on.
It means...this person wants to sing.
I saw Lu Yao adjusting the tone of his guitar after trying it out, and then his cough sounded in the bar.
"Ahem."
Coughing sounds also came from the speakers.
Everything is OK.
He glanced over at the booth.
I found that everyone was looking this way.
So he nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and swept his fingers.
A crisp and urgent melody sounded.
Hu Li, who was sitting in the booth, was stunned.
To be honest, although Lu Yao said he could play guitar, she didn't know his specific level.
But... when the melody that started with a round sweep sounded, she was sure... this boy's guitar level was at least not low.
However, she didn't recognize what song it was.
In fact, Lu Yao didn't sing directly, but used this short melody to get familiar with the guitar.
After he was almost familiar with it, he raised his head and began to play with the strings.
The soothing melody begins to spread little by little.
Under the light, the boy was wearing an inappropriate football uniform, with a fair face, no nervousness in his expression, and he spoke calmly:
"Give me a space~"
"No one has walked past..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the sound was like the sound of a clear spring, gurgling, crisp and clean.
Qi Qin, "The Original Me".
This is the name of the song.
The boy's clean and clear voice, as well as its slightly rich voice, give the whole song another level of texture.
"I feel like I'm being left out..."
"Wow."
Several female audience members sitting on the edge of the stage had already subconsciously let out low voices.
Apparently, this...singer.
This song.
This kind of voice... brought them a whole new feeling.
Some people even whispered to their companions while singing:
"Hey, his voice looks just like Chen Chusheng."
"Listen well."
"Yes, yes..."
But these whispers soon faded away.
Because...at this moment, what they need more is to concentrate on enjoying this solo guitar solo, playing and singing by themselves.
"Give me some time~"
"No one has ever loved~"
"Once again, experience loneliness."
The ethereal, clear, clean, and gentle voice slowly faded as the lyrics faded, paired with the guitar melody, and entered the chorus:
"I once loved but had to break up. Why can't we stay together? Why..."
"If I had known this, why bother to start? After breaking up, the price will be indifference..."
"Since you said you loved me deeply, why did you leave me and leave me forever and forget about eachother..."
"If I had known this, why would I start? I am still the same person~~~~"
The gentle singing reaches this point, which represents the end of the first chorus.
"Wow, wow..."
Below the stage, a table of girls who felt the charm of this "singer" more closely could not help but applaud.
While playing, Lu Yao looked down at them and showed a polite smile to express his gratitude.
And it was this smile that made a girl couldn't help shouting:
“Sounds good~~~~~~”
"Ha~Thank you."
Lu Yao thanked him again.
Then he looked towards Hu Li.
Unfortunately, the lights on the main stage were a bit harsh and he could only see a rough outline.
In the silhouette, Hu Li folded her legs and bent down at some point.
One hand resting on the chin.
Not moving.
He seemed to be listening intently.
So, Lu Yao followed the melody and sang again.
"Give me a while..."
What he didn't see was...
Hai Hou was holding his chin with one hand, and all he could see in her eyes at this moment was his appearance.
The body is like a boat.
Swaying slightly in the ocean bred by guitar and singing.
Go with the flow.
Let this tenderness drown you.
