Chapter 152 Know Me
After being pinched to death by Mr. Xu, Lu Yao was finally free.
Carrying the main computer case in one hand and dragging the suitcase in the other, I said hello to him and walked out of the dormitory directly.
After walking to the temporary parking lot opened again by the school to make it easier for students to go home during the holidays, he saw his father standing next to the car waving to him.
He smiled and quickened his pace.
Lu Yuanshan also came over, took his son's main computer case, and carried him into the car:
“The monitor I bought has arrived home.”
"Hmm. Where is my mother?"
"I'm cooking for you at home... Are you having lunch at home?"
"Hey, that's for sure."
Lu Yao smiled and got into the car, and the two of them drove out of the campus together.
But... Lu Yao soon discovered something was wrong:
"Dad, where are we going?"
"New home."
Lu Yuanshan explained:
"We are spending the New Year there this year. It is unlucky to leave a new house empty for the first year. Besides, our family is really too small, so we will live there. Let's celebrate the New Year in our new house!"
"Uh...Okay."
Lu Yao nodded.
The Shengshi Garden is actually quite close to the Fortune Garden.
That being said...it's quite convenient.
In this way, the car came all the way to Dongchang New Village. I saw several high-rise buildings in the distance and asked:
“How is the occupancy rate?”
"It's not bad, mainly because the community environment is good. Your mother and I have lived here for a few days, and I don't know if it's a psychological effect. I always feel that the air in Pudong is better than that over there."
"..."
Lu Yao was a little speechless, thinking that your statement was too subjective.
Soon, the car came to a parking space. When getting out of the car, Lu Yuanshan said:
"Remember this parking space, it belongs to our family."
"Bought it?"
"No, the property is free for us to use. After all, I am somewhat privileged~"
Seeing his father's proud look, Lu Yao curled his lips in his heart and said, just brag.
What's going on with this parking space... Others don't know, but he has a clear mind.
But they didn't hesitate. They carried their luggage and went straight into the corridor and got into the elevator. Soon, the elevator reached the 33rd floor.
"Is there anyone living across the street?"
"No, no movement."
With that said, the door opened, and Lu Yao, who had not been here since his parents started decorating, came to the "new home" for the first time in a real sense.
When I first entered the house, my first reaction was: It’s so big.
This house is said to be 133 square meters, and the area is indeed that. But...it's on the top floor, and the ceiling is quite high, so it can be separated directly into a duplex.
As soon as he entered, Lu Yao saw the stairs near the floor-to-ceiling windows and the duplex pavilion.
"...so big."
he said.
Lu Yuanshan nodded:
"Well, the second floor is specifically for your computer. Didn't you always say that there is no place to study at home, so there is a separate area above for you. There is also a small cloakroom, where your mother originally said there would be a mahjong table. I didn’t let it go. You can control that area yourself, and it will be used for your wedding in the future anyway.”
"Hey, okay."
Lu Yao didn't even have time to return to his own room, so he walked up holding the main computer case.
The compartments are very solid, but the sound of walking sounds a bit hollow.
The height above is not particularly high, only about two meters, which is a little depressing, but completely sufficient.
Lu Yao thought about it the moment his feet stepped on the wooden floor.
This area can be covered with carpet, and you can step on it with bare feet when the time comes, yo? And a small sofa? … Then I’ll get a TV and a game console by then.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Oops.
Heaven!
He couldn't wait to start assembling the computer. At the same time, he looked at the empty computer desk and thought that he could add a screen... and even make a perforated board to hang some models on.
Suddenly, he felt like he had entered the world of MC, and his completely DIY interest was completely aroused.
Then I went to look at the cloakroom... It was said to be a cloakroom, but it was actually just a small partition. But the parents were very attentive and even removed a separate wire and installed a switch. On it was a lamp suitable for changing clothes and a full-length mirror.
The area is definitely not as big as that of my girlfriend, but... he really likes it.
Sitting on the beanbag, he looked at everything around him, and a kind of joy began to spread from his heart.
Then, his eyes fell on the computer.
Subconsciously I want to start working and get a feel for the work environment.
But I immediately gave up the idea.
No, I have something else to do tonight.
His eyes moved slightly, and after thinking for a while, he picked up the guitar in the corner.
Downstairs, after Lu Yuanshan heard the sound of the guitar, he first glanced at his son. After seeing him holding the guitar and playing there, he lowered the volume of the TV.
……
Currently, there are four songs in total on No One’s Baby Band.
"Flowers", "Guo Yuanchao", "Rebellious Youth", "Chasing Dreams".
Lu Yao estimated...six to seven songs, which is actually about the same.
And this fifth song...
He was wondering if he should have some fun.
Learn from Jay Chou and create a national style song.
However... Chinese style and rock music don't seem to fit together.
So he has been searching his "music library" to see if there is anything suitable.
But...how should I put it, even if it's just copying songs, it's actually quite difficult. After all, he listened to a lot. Some of the songs he might like to listen to, and some might just be added to the playlist occasionally, so he just kept leaning on the chair and playing the guitar unconsciously, continuing to search in his mind.
Until...he suddenly played a melody.
Before the melody was finished, the piano paused.
The next second, Lu Yuanshan heard his son’s singing:
"I leave the bright moon to recall the past, warm the wine and get to know my friends. I would like to ask how many people in the world know me..."
"?"
He glanced up subconsciously and saw his son suddenly starting to write furiously at the computer desk.
He thought for a while, silently withdrew his gaze, and adjusted the TV to the lowest volume.
……
Lu Yao:
"Shall we do a Chinese rock song?"
"I just had an idea."
"I'll type the lyrics for you."
Xu Ruochen:
"?"
"National style? Like Jay Chou?"
"Okay!"
"It feels quite interesting. But it doesn't match rock and roll, right?"
After Lu Yao finished speaking, he was the only one who replied.
The other three didn't reply.
They should be busy with their own things.
About ten minutes later, Lu Yao sent over a piece of lyrics:
"The moon sets over the river, wrinkled eyes,
The boat is full of clear dreams and the stars are overwhelming,
But there are night birds with no one and sad songs,
Cutting tung trees to make a musical instrument and watching the mountain scenery,
Suddenly I heard a long song,
The coir raincoat is stained with dew and the fishermen and woodcutter return home at night..."
He typed a very long article, and after finishing it, he continued:
"I'll get a microphone and a sound card like that. I'll record a demo of this song for you to listen to. Let's go out first."
"When I finish recording the demo, you can listen and get a feel for it."
Xu Ruochen:
"OK, don't mention anything else, this lyrics... I feel quite beautiful. Boya's bosom friend?"
Lu Yao:
"Almost, I'm going to the Computer City now."
Xu Ruochen:
"Okay."
So, when Ms. Chen came back from shopping for groceries, she saw that Lu Yuanshan was alone at home, and she simply rolled her eyes:
"I bought groceries for nothing, right? Where did the little boy go?"
Lu Yuanshan took the plastic bag from his wife with a smile and said:
"I went to do some business. I said I wanted to buy a microphone and a sound card, record a song or something... I went to the Computer City."
"Are you sure you didn't go to play with some little girl?"
"No, he has been composing songs just now. Hey."
Speaking of this, Lu Yuanshan was a little proud:
“My son’s musical talent follows me.”
"It's up to you...then he won't be able to come back for lunch?"
"Hmm."
Seeing that it was already past 11 o'clock, Lu Yuanshan felt unsure.
To be fair... we should come back, right?
……
And Lu Yao is indeed back. It's just that... I came back late.
When he came back, it was already past 3 p.m.
Moreover, there are quite a lot of things to carry.
"This is...?"
Lu Yuanshan looked confused as he watched his son enter the house packed with bags.
"Suit?"
"Well, I brought back the suit I made when I was working as an assistant with Sister Chu. The band has an event tonight and I want to attend it, so I have to dress more formally."
Lu Yao said, after handing all the suits and bags to his father, he returned to his "workshop" carrying two boxes.
Inside is an innovative sound card, microphone, stand, an entry-level effects processor, and a DJ console.
Coincidentally, when he arrived at the Computer City, he saw a fever store selling various audio equipment on the first floor. After walking in and shopping around, he bought a microphone and also fell in love with the Pioneer piece. DJ console.
When he was in Sanya before, he thought this thing was quite fun.
Moreover, this entry-level console is really not expensive, costing only more than 2,000 and less than 3,000 in total. The most important thing is that it also comes with tutorials for beginners, as well as various effects, as well as REKARDBOX and SERATO software.
Although Lu Yao doesn't know what these two softwares are used for yet, the salesperson said that with these two softwares, coupled with the tuning software that comes with buying a microphone, he can arrange music by himself at home.
He was also interested in these things and bought them all.
Then the tinkering started.
I followed the tutorial to install and download the software... and soon faced a problem.
The computer feels a little messy.
After thinking for a while, he said to his father: "Dad, I also want a main computer case."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Lu Yuanshan nodded:
"Okay, then you buy it and swipe my credit card."
"Okay."
So, on the first day of winter vacation, Lu Yao started talking about these things. He spent another six thousand to buy various graphics cards, CPUs and other spare parts. By the time he was finished, it was almost 6 o'clock.
And also got a small "gain".
When he was loading things, he casually pulled off the barb on his fingernail. As a result, it bled and he had to put a band-aid on it.
Seeing that it was almost time, he didn't dare to delay, remembering the banquet in the evening, so he hurriedly took a shower and changed into a suit.
Not to mention, wearing a good suit really makes a difference.
Even Lu Yuanshan and Ms. Chen felt that their son had suddenly become "mature".
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Mom, I'm leaving."
"Well, drive carefully and don't drink, you know?"
"Know."
Lu Yao responded, put on a thin down jacket over his suit, and walked out of the door.
Soon, the golf ball drove out of the parking lot, which was still unfamiliar to him.
In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at Fortune Garden, and then dialed his girlfriend’s phone number:
"Hey, I'm here, where are you two?"
"Just come to Xiaochu's house."
"Okay."
Lu Yao responded, parked the car, and went upstairs in a familiar manner.
Knocking on the door, there was soon the sound of slippers.
After Xu Ruochu opened the door, he looked at him and asked:
"Don't you have the key?"
Lu Yao was stunned.
There are two reasons.
First... this was the first time he saw Xu Ruochu wearing this kind of makeup.
It is no longer the usual dull makeup that can hardly be seen, but a... very delicate makeup.
He couldn't say how exquisite it was specifically, but...it felt very different from beginning to end.
If in the past she was like a lily that had grown quiet over time, then today she is like a peony.
There is a kind of... indescribable beauty.
The second thing is her words.
If she hadn't mentioned it, Lu Yao would have forgotten... He also had a room key card at home.
"...?"
Xu Ruochu tilted his head and looked at the boy in front of him who was staring at him in a daze.
Inexplicably, my mood became better.
So, without Lu Yao answering, she got out of the way.
"Come in, I'll change clothes."
"Uh...Okay."
Lu Yao came to his senses and walked in.
Then I saw the disgusted expression on my girlfriend’s face sitting on the sofa:
"Hey~~What are you wearing? Suit + down jacket? Where is your coat?"
"It's very cold outside. I'll put it on temporarily and then I'll take it off when I get there."
"Oh...what's wrong with your hand? Is it injured?"
Hu Li quickly stood up with concern.
"No, barb."
Lu Yao said and walked towards her.
Looking at her casual appearance, she asked:
"You're not going?"
"I won't go. I wish I could keep a low profile. What if we are seen so distant from each other again and some gossip spreads?"
Hu Li shook his head, then stood up and unzipped his down jacket.
"Well...don't mention it, this suit looks good."
As she spoke, she stood up on her tiptoes and kissed her boyfriend's lips lightly, a cloud of mist rising in her eyes:
"Come back... in the evening?"
Lu Yao shook his head slightly:
"Gotta go home."
"...I'll be leaving in a few days."
Hearing this, Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered... Yes, the Spring Festival is only half a month away.
"Then...you wait for me tonight?"
Sister Yu suddenly smiled:
"Hehe, um! Waiting for you, no matter how late, I will wait for you."
"Well... what kind of banquet is this tonight? What do you need me to do?"
As soon as he finished asking, he heard Xu Ruochu's voice from behind:
"Art Auction Dinner. Charitable."
Lu Yao was stunned and asked subconsciously:
"No way...it was that Aunt Bai who did it again, right?"
Before Xu Ruochu answered, Hu Li sneered:
"That's all she can do."
"Then... won't the secret be revealed? After all, last time I was just Sister Chu's assistant and Brother Xiaochen's friend. This sudden change..."
"We can only appear as a couple on such occasions."
Xu Ruochu shook his head slightly:
"If it's a party at my own home, I definitely can't bring you. After all... if I bring you home, it means that our relationship is almost confirmed. It's definitely not possible. And for that kind of business dinner, I myself Just go, no one else cares about our relationship, so it’s useless for this kind of dinner hosted by Aunt Bai. , it’s a... relatively compromise situation. There are many people who know me there, and if I take you there, they can see you, and they won’t ask more about you. . Moreover, it would be more appropriate for the news that we attended a banquet to be together."
After hearing her explanation, Lu Yao nodded and roughly understood the situation:
"I understand. What do you need me to do?"
"You don't need anything, I'll just come."
As she spoke, she untied her hair.
Only then did Lu Yao realize that she had gotten a perm at some point.
It's that big volume.
The hair is hanging down, adding a mature and charming atmosphere.
"How do you feel about this?"
She asked looking at Lu Yao and Hu Li.
Her dress is still conservative, mainly black.
The wide skirt and narrow clothes make her limbs look slender, and the diamond earrings on both sides of her ears shine brightly under the light.
Paired with exquisite makeup...it looks elegant and elegant, but also very attractive to the opposite sex.
"Perfect."
Hu Li smiled and gave two thumbs up, indicating her approval.
Xu Ruochu nodded slightly and looked at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao thought for a while and said:
"Would it be more suitable to tie up your hair?"
"No."
Hu Li shook his head directly:
"Tie it up, it's too businesslike. Just let it down like this."
"Um...okay."
Lu Yao nodded.
Xu Ruochu didn't say anything, but turned around and walked into the cloakroom.
Soon, she walked out carrying a bright-colored handbag and holding a wooden box in her other hand.
When he walked to the coffee table, Lu Yao saw that the box was filled with watches one after another.
Still a men’s model.
"These are this year's new models. They were originally prepared for Xiaochen. But he doesn't need... this one, you wear this one today."
She took out a watch from the box.
A green watch.
“Patek Philippe’s new model this year, REF5270. This green lacquer dial, black gradient effect, and gold three-dimensional hour markers match your outfit just right.”
"Uh...Okay."
He didn't ask how much it was.
But... Patek Philippe is not cheap.
After putting on the watch, Hu Li also walked to Xu Ruochu, looked her boyfriend up and down, and nodded vigorously:
"Well, it looks good."
"Let's go."
Xu Ruochu looked at the time on his watch and said.
"Go ahead, I'll look for something else like Patek Philippe. I think it suits him better than Rolex."
So, the two of them walked out of the door one after another and entered the elevator.
After going downstairs, he took the key to the SLK from Xu Ruochu.
Couldn't help but laugh:
“I haven’t driven this car for a long time.”
"Yeah."
Xu Ruochu nodded, holding his handbag with both hands, and suddenly said:
"Mr. Gentleman, it's time to open the door for me."
"Uh...Okay."
Lu Yao reacted, nodded with a smile, and opened the passenger door for her.
After waiting for the other party to sit down, he closed the door and then came to the main driver's seat.
As soon as he got in the car, he saw Xu Ruochu stroking her hair.
After stroking it a few times, I took off the rubber band on my wrist and tied it up.
"Is that so?"
After pricking, she asked.
Lu Yao nodded:
"Well, this is still the case...it's more suitable for the first sister."
"Ha."
Xu Ruochu chuckled, tightened his seat belt, and said:
"Let's go."
Soon, SLK made a low roar, drove out of the basement, and merged into the night.
