Chapter 17 What if you let me play the guitar?

Chapter 17 How about letting me play the guitar for a while?
Click! Zhao Yu looked at the steaming pig's trotter soup in front of him and took out his phone to take a photo.

"It's so late, don't you want to have a midnight snack?"

While typing this sentence in the chat box with Yuka, he sent the photo to Yuka.

After a few seconds.

"What is this? It looks delicious!"

"It's a Sichuan and Chongqing specialty, pig's trotter soup."

"Damn it! It makes me so hungry!" Yuhua sent a crying bunny head emoticon.

"Hahaha, then let's eat something?" Zhao Yu showed a smile of success on his face, bewitching Youhua.

"No...No! You will get fat!" Even though it was just words, Zhao Yu could see Youhua's struggle at this moment.

"I can't chat with you, so I don't have the mind to study!" Youhua made an angry expression and ignored Zhao Yu.

It feels good. It turns out that teasing a girl can make people happy. Zhao Yu happily began to deal with the hoof flower in front of him.

By the time we finished eating the soft and glutinous pig's trotters, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Zhao Yu didn't plan to go back yet. Although it was still a bit cold in Chengdu in November, it didn't stop him from going shopping.

Looking at the familiar scenery around him, Zhao Yu felt a sense of security for the first time in a long time. This was a feeling he had never experienced since he became a social animal.

After work, he goes back and forth between the company and home every day. Not only does he have no time to play games, even resting is a luxury.

Whenever he was working overtime in the middle of the night and looking at the bright lights outside the window, he would wonder whether he was enjoying life or being carried forward by life.

Zhao Yu had heard a saying before: the most leisurely time for an adult man is when he lights a cigarette in the parking lot.

In the past, Zhao Yu didn’t understand at all why he had a job to make money but didn’t even have time to play.

But later he understood that once a man starts working, he has more than just a responsibility on his shoulders.

Now he has finally returned to the parallel world where he just graduated, and finally has the opportunity to appreciate the surrounding scenery again.

Exhaling a breath of hot air, Zhao Yu looked at the Jinjiang River at night. The river reflected the neon lights of the surrounding buildings, looking rugged and glittering.

Not far away is the Jiuyan Bridge, which can be said to be the brightest pearl in the entire Chengdu city at night. The bars and snack streets around it are extremely bustling.

No matter it is a weekday or a weekend, there is always a constant stream of people. When he was a child, he was very curious about why there are always people who don’t work and enjoy eating, drinking and having fun every day.

I originally thought that when I grew up I would be like the group of people I saw when I was a child, but in fact, the gap between people is greater than the gap between people and dogs.

"Forget it. Why do I keep thinking about these things? I've finally been reborn once, but if I can't live a free and easy life, I might as well find a piece of tofu and kill myself."

After complaining to himself, Zhao Yu continued to walk slowly forward.

The night was still long, and he wanted to see more of the city and the scenery that he had never noticed before.

I don't know how long I walked, but I was almost at the Anshun Bridge. The splendid buildings on the bridge seemed to bring Zhao Yu back to Chengdu a hundred years ago.

Raising his mobile phone, Zhao Yu took a photo to record this beautiful scenery.

The next moment, a burst of singing was heard. Zhao Yu turned around and found a man singing on the sidewalk.

The cold air in the evening made the man shiver. He blew a breath on his hands, rubbed them, and then continued to play the guitar.

As the most inclusive city in China, there are many dreamers here, but not everyone can succeed.

Although the pace here is not fast, they will not stop and wait for you just because you are down and out.

People were coming and going around, no one stopped. The young people were singing Wu Bai's old songs, which sounded very much like Wu Bai's style.

Zhao Yu stopped and listened for a while, then hesitated for a moment and walked towards him.

Li Fei plucked the guitar with all his might. This was his last attempt. The strings were extremely cold and it felt a bit strenuous for him.

The biting cold wind kept pouring in from his collar, and he felt like he was about to freeze to death, but even that was not as sad as the sadness in his heart. He was a folk singer, and he came to Chengdu because he thought it was a very romantic city.

But after singing in countless bars, he still hasn't found any hope of making a breakthrough. This is already the third year.

Not only did he fail to settle down, but he was kicked out because he offended the bar owner.

It all stems from his pitiful self-esteem as a folk singer.

The drunk customer insisted that he sing a catchy song from a certain audio platform, but for him, singing such a song was simply an insult to his pursuit of music.

The result is that I have become what I am now, and as the year draws to a close, I have lost my source of income.

Thinking back to the worry his parents expressed on the phone, Li Fei felt like crying. The lofty promises he had made to his parents now made him too ashamed to face them.

But besides himself, he also has a girlfriend who always supports him, so he can't stop making money.

The only last resort he could think of now was to sing on the street.

Forget it. Once I save enough money for rent until the New Year, I’ll go back to my hometown in the small county and look for another job. I can’t go on like this.

"There's no direction ahead, and there's no clothes on my body... Blood is seeping out of my wings..."

A song called "White Dove" by Wu Bai seemed to be telling the story of his failure in pursuing his dream. Li Fei sang it with all his might, singing to his heart's content, even though no one stopped to listen to him.

After the song was over, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had released the last bit of stubbornness in his heart.

"Nice singing, bro."

A gentle sound was heard, followed by a red banknote falling into the guitar case.

Li Fei raised his head and saw a handsome boy in front of him. His eyes were full of admiration and he seemed to like his song very much.

"You gave too much." Li Fei pointed to the sign beside him in a concise manner. It said that it was 10 yuan for each song, and no designated songs were accepted.

Not singing songs he doesn't like may be the last bit of his self-respect.

"You sing so well, why don't you try singing in a bar?" Zhao Yu ignored his reminder and asked him instead.

"No, I won't be a singer after the New Year." Li Fei sighed.

"Failed in pursuing your dream?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Yes, I failed miserably." Li Fei smiled bitterly.

Although he was a stranger, perhaps because he was the first person to stop today, Li Fei did not hide his situation.

"Big cities are really cruel. Sometimes it's better to face reality early."

The first lesson for an adult is to learn to reconcile with yourself and acknowledge your own ordinariness.

Li Fei now understands that even if he sings well, he is still an ordinary person.

If I really have first-rate singing skills, would I offend my boss by not singing songs that customers like? My boss would be eager to worship me.

No matter how proud he is, he has to admit that he is just an ordinary singer and there are plenty of people in the world who can replace him.

"Indeed, big cities are cruel." Zhao Yu nodded.

"But that's why it's so attractive, isn't it?"

Li Fei looked at Zhao Yu in confusion.

"It embraces all those who pursue their dreams, so it seems so cruel. After all, in front of dreams, everyone is the same."

"How about letting me play the guitar for a while? The extra money I give you will be considered as compensation." Zhao Yu stretched out his hand to Li Fei with a smile on his face.
