Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 138 Return
Lu Yao was full of doubts, but Xu Ruochen didn't think much about it.

The engagement party is just a meal, so just go if you are asked. But... Sui Wei got engaged so quickly. They were just introduced as "friends" when they met at Rolex, but now they are getting engaged?
While Lu Yao was wondering why the other party invited him, he also had this question in his mind:
"Didn't she just say they were friends last time? It's been less than half a month and they're already engaged? That's too fast."

Mr. Xu shrugged:

"I guess it's a blind date. If they like each other and their families are well matched, then they can just go for it right away. If it's a free love relationship, who knows how long they'll get together."

"Then should I give a gift?"

"No."

Mr. Xu shook his head:
"An engagement party is not a wedding. You are invited, so you go for a meal. During the meal, both families come out and talk about the two people's affairs... In fact, it is just an attitude, telling the guests that our two families recognize the marriage of the two young people. Then set a date, and when the date comes, the guests will go with gifts. It's just a meal, do you think it's complicated?"

"Ok."

Lu Yao nodded, glanced at Shen Wan and Xue Mingyue who were also talking beside him, and asked:
"You're going home?"

"Let's go back to school? We have rehearsal tomorrow."

"What about the luggage?"

"Put it in my car, and I'll take you back on the day I have a holiday."

"Row."

So the four of them got into the car directly.

After getting in the car, Mr. Xu's first destination was to send Shen Wan home.

Because there were four people in one car, the girl couldn't say a lot of things in her heart. She had to wait for the car to arrive at the gate of the community and got off the car obediently.

The three of them waved goodbye to her, and soon, Lu Yao's cell phone rang.

Lu Yao took it out and took a look at it.

There is affection between the lines.

"Brother Lu, please send me a message when you get to the dormitory. I'll be waiting for you~"

"it is good."

Lu Yao replied with one message.

Xu Ruochen turned his head and looked at him without even asking a question.

Just like he said, what happens in Sanya should stay in Sanya.

Then he suddenly laughed:
"Hey, ask Liu Mingze if Old Yu is back. He's the one I want to see the most now!"

Lu Yao was stunned.

Then I was happy.

"Haha~ I want to too."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

……

All the way back to the dormitory, the first words they said to Yu Kun were:

"Old Yu, I heard that you were captured by a dinosaur?"

This made Yu Kun look very embarrassed.

However, he still took out two plastic bags from the cabinet:

"Here, it's a gift from her for both of you."

"Ouch?"

Mr. Xu's eyes lit up, he took the plastic bag, opened it and took a look, a smile immediately appeared on his face:

"Thank you for me... What's her name?"

"Zhu Mengyao."

"Thank our Sister Zhu for me. She is older than you, right?"

"……Um."

The plastic bag in Mr. Xu's hand contained a pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes.

It’s true, for smokers, no matter whether this gift is good or bad, it really touches their hearts.

The bag in Lu Yao's hand was the same, but unfortunately, he had quit smoking and gave it directly to Mr. Xu.

Then, Liu Mingze started to share gossip. Zhu Mengyao seemed to be a rich woman, a local from Nantong. When she came to see Yu Kun, she drove a Shanghai-branded Audi A4. She bought Yu Kun several sets of clothes and two pairs of new shoes in the past two days. There were also a lot of snacks. When Old Yu came back with snacks on Saturday, he walked with a limp...

Of course, Yu Kun does not admit such a thing.

But it doesn’t matter, because 305 has started a new topic because of this rich sister.

Before they knew it, they were all in bed.

Don't get me wrong, they are each other's beds.

Lu Yao yawned lazily and confirmed with his girlfriend what time he would pick her up tomorrow.

Hu Li never said a word about how his time in Sanya was.

After chatting for a while, he felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.

On Monday morning, after breakfast, he left the school directly and took a taxi to Fortune Garden.

As soon as I got off the bus, I heard two beeps.

Lu Yao turned his head and saw the familiar Maybach at the entrance to the basement.

So he smiled and walked over.

The rear window also rolled down, and Xu Ruochu, who looked dignified, looked at him and asked:
"How did you come?"

"Meet Sister Li. Good morning, Sister Chu."

"morning."

Seeing his sunny and cheerful appearance, Xu Ruochu nodded slightly and asked:

“Did you have fun in Sanya?”

"Very happy."

"Did Xiaochen tell you about Sui Wei's engagement party?"

"I already said that...but why did Sister Wei invite me?"

"You are Xiaochen's good friend, and we have had dinner together before, so it's normal to invite you. You don't have to dress formally on the engagement party, just be casual. It's just a meal, and there's no need to prepare any gifts. We're going to share in the good fortune."

"Okay, got it."

Seeing Lu Yao agreed, Xu Ruochu nodded:

"Well, shall we have lunch together?"

"…Let's not eat. She'll be here soon. I have a rehearsal this afternoon, so I probably won't be able to make it."

Hearing this, Xu Ruochu's eyes moved, as if he understood something, and nodded quickly:
"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Okay. Assistant Xiao, bye."

Lu Yao smiled and waved, seeing off the Maybach.

Then I went all the way to my girlfriend's house.

After a week's absence, the air in the house with closed doors and windows was not that turbid, but he still opened all the windows, let in some air for a while, then started cleaning with a rag in his hand.

In daily life, Hu Li does a good job in maintaining this home.

I never ask others to do it for me, but always clean up by myself.

He is not a coward, so the whole environment of the house has always been good. But now that no one has been here for a week, it always feels a bit dusty.

After everything was cleaned up, he felt comfortable staying there.

It took him more than an hour to finally water all the flowers. He looked at the clean and bright house and nodded with satisfaction.

It was almost time, so he went downstairs directly and drove the MINI to the airport.

After arriving at the airport, he turned on his phone and checked it inside and out. After making sure that there was no trace of Shen Wan, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After waiting for a while, the phone I had been thinking about day and night rang.

"Hey, baby, where are you? I'm here!"

……

"Oh... there are so many people..."

When Hu Li felt the heat of her boyfriend's kiss, her legs went weak.

Fortunately, she still remembered that this was the airport exit. She broke free from her boyfriend, pulled him, lowered her head, and walked out quickly with a red face.

But Lu Yao was confused:

"Where's Xiaobu?"

"…My mom didn't give it to me! Oh! I'm so mad!"

When this was mentioned, the queen sister, who had been full of shyness just now, immediately stomped her feet cutely.

"You won't let me take them away no matter what! It's so annoying! Xiaobu is such a spineless guy! They are just a few little bitches! I'm so pissed off!!!"

"…Does that mean it surrendered to the enemy?"

"Yes! You spineless traitor! You don't have any firm revolutionary spirit at all!"

"..."

"Whenever my mother calls it, it jumps into her arms like a dog!"

"Sister, it's a dog."

"Humph! It's not as good as any dog! Anyway... it pissed me off! But I told my mom, at most! At most until the Chinese New Year! When I go back for the Chinese New Year, it must come back with me! Just wait and see how I deal with it when it comes back!"

"..."

It seems that the girlfriend is very angry.

But all this was immediately blown away by a kiss after getting in the car.

She huddled in the passenger seat, looking at her boyfriend who was driving with watery eyes:

"Baby...can we go home?"

"…Not eating anymore?"

"Are you hungry?"

"It's fine. You can eat first, but I have to go back to school for rehearsal this afternoon. I can't come over until the evening."

"Hee hee~"

Hu Li could no longer listen to what he said.

Her smile became more shy, and at the same time she felt the long-desired warmth in her boyfriend's palm.

"Oh, by the way, what should we do about Sister Wei's engagement?"

"What do you mean?"

"Can't we... sit at the same table?"

"why?"

Hu Li tilted her head and suddenly pouted:
"Tell me! Don't you love me anymore? You dared to come and have dinner with me when you were not in a relationship! You don't dare to do that now that you are in a relationship! Wuuwu! You don't love me anymore!"

"..."

Seeing her pretend crying unreasonably, Lu Yao rolled his eyes:

"Get lost. Sister Wei invited me as Brother Xiaochen's good friend. Aren't you two very close? Aren't you sitting in different seats?"

“It’s the same, there’s no difference.”

Continuing to hold her boyfriend's hand, she shrugged indifferently:

"Oh, on the one hand, we are childhood friends, but on the other hand... didn't I tell you before that before I knew you, the only reason I returned to China every year was to represent my father's branch of the family when there was a wedding or funeral. It's just... how should I put it. For example, when you and your sister go to your uncle and aunt's friends' house to participate in such an event, although you and your sister are also a family, you represent yourself and your sister represents her. Because you are both adults, and this will be even more so after you get married. In this way, relatives and friends will come and go, and on the surface, the two families are close friends. Even if the branches are separated, the friendship will not be broken. Do you understand?" "...I see. Then don't I have to follow Brother Xiaochen?"

"No need. That day, apart from relatives from both sides, friends like us were allowed to sit wherever we wanted. I'm a bit of a jinx, so they all avoided me when they saw me, fearing that I would go crazy. If you don't sit with me, I'll have to sit alone..."

"You eat a table of food by yourself, no one competes with you for food, you can eat whatever you want, and there won't be any children holding chopsticks and nagging at the plate..."

"Eh?"

Hu Li was stunned and nodded subconsciously:
"That's good. Then you all go, I'll be mad at whoever sits next to me~"

"Haha~"

"Hehe~"

The two had been dating for a few months, and he was already aware of his girlfriend's past experiences.

So there was nothing taboo when the two of them talked.

After Lu Yao told Hu Li about seeing Sui Wei and that man at Rolex that day, Hu Li nodded:

"I know that kid. He's okay, and he's pretty down-to-earth. Sui Wei's generation is basically at the end of its rope. It's too hard to move up. This kid's family is okay, but he has potential. The two families are also well matched."

"…It's obviously a happy event, but why does it sound so cruel coming out of your mouth?"

“That’s how it is.”

Hu Li shrugged:

"As the saying goes, the emperor appoints his own ministers. The tides turn. Sui Wei's family members are actually quite fond of scheming, which is why I have a so-so impression of her. But after all, we are friends since childhood, and I will definitely be happy if she lives a good life. In fact, if she hadn't been born late, she might have been the one to marry You Tan."

"...Ah? With Brother Tang?"

"Yes. But she is too young, and she also looks down on You Run's playboy character. Although the two families have a good relationship, they are not destined to be together. Fortunately, You Run likes to play, and she likes to play too. Two big players get together, what good is there?"

"Uh……"

Lu Yao said speechlessly:
"So... your circle isn't actually that big."

"Then you have to see what is big and what is small. But in the final analysis, it is really not big. So you can see that whether it is Xiaochen or Yourun, they just play with the few people around them over and over again. Because everyone has played together since they were young, it has become a habit. They grew up together, and when they grow up, they help each other with anything. Over time, the families have become stably connected in this way."

"It sounds the same as the Five Surnames and Seven Families."

"There's nothing new in history books."

"I see... um, by the way, Run-ge gave me a bottle of pills this time."

"...Health-preserving pills?"

"Yes, you know?"

"Yes, I ate it when I was a kid. But I stopped eating it when I grew up."

"……Why?"

“Because it’s easy to get pregnant.”

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding. It's really good for your health, but I'm not in China very often, so I forgot about it over time. Well... come to think of it, you can eat it, it's good for your health. I'll get you a few bottles to give to your uncle and aunt, but... don't blame me if your uncle and aunt give you a brother or sister."

"..."

Lu Yao thought to himself how come what you said is exactly the same as Mr. Xu's.

"Is this thing so effective?"

"Yes. It is said to be a prescription passed down by the Heavenly Master. It nourishes Yin and replenishes Yang, that's roughly what it means. The medicine is only available in You Run's family. His great-grandfather used to be a Taoist priest. He came down from the mountain during the Anti-Japanese War. Later, during the civil war, he took the lead in opposing the Heavenly Master, so he was expelled... Anyway, there are a lot of twists and turns. But the health-preserving pill is indeed good."

"I see……"

"Did you eat it?"

"No."

Lu Yao denied it straightforwardly:
"One is so expensive, I can't bear to give it to my parents."

"No, I'll just ask him to get a few bottles... You can eat it too, it's good for your health. Well, I'll eat it too."

"…Easy to get pregnant."

"Hee hee~"

Hu Li smiled and shook his head:

"I want to grow old slowly, so that people won't say that we are a young husband and an old wife."

"That's not a very good way of saying it."

"Hee hee hee……"

Even though they hadn't seen each other for just over a week, it was as if they had endless things to talk about. They chatted all the way until they got to the elevator, when Hu Li finally couldn't help it anymore. She jumped up and wrapped her legs around her boyfriend's waist.

Lu Yao hurriedly entered the house, dragging her suitcase and holding her in his arms.

After entering the house, the infatuated lady didn't even bother to look at the clean and tidy house. She even squatted down without asking her boyfriend if he had taken a shower.

He misses her, and so does she.

She had originally bought a few sets of lingerie in France, planning to bring them back to show her boyfriend.

But I can't take care of it now.

I can't take care of it at all. I can't take care of it at all.

She just wanted to rub herself into the other person's body.

Never separate again.

……

3 pm.

Master Xu looked at Lu Yao, who was half an hour late, speechlessly, and leaned over to him and asked in a low voice:
"Did you get a hold of Sister Li?"

"Ah."

"I'll strangle you to death, you damn scumbag!"

"Cough cough cough..."

"Stop messing around, Luyao, hurry up and start singing. It's time for us to rehearse soon."

Wei Qianqian looked at the two people who were fighting again and urged them silently.

"OK."

Lu Yao nodded and asked:

"Have you got the accompaniment?"

"Bring it."

"Is it the version sent to us?"

"Correct."

"OK."

Lu Yao responded, took a few sips of the warm water, and then made some noises for a while, and that was it.

Highlight a perfunctory attitude.

It's just a rehearsal. Just make sure the accompaniment is okay. There's no need to shout at the top of your lungs.

No need.

Soon, the student union notified the band "No One Has Children" that it was time for them to join.

Several people came on stage.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the seats below the stage.

They are all the people who performed in this show.

Seeing them come on stage, everyone's attention was focused.

Of course, the focus is mainly on Wei Qianqian.

Who can blame her for being beautiful?

As for the girls, they were obviously more interested in Lu Yao.

There was no nonsense during the rehearsal. After a few people confirmed that everything was fine, Lu Yao leaned over to the microphone and shouted:

"Teacher, you can start."

Soon, Zhao Hang, holding the drumstick in his hand, beat the drum:
"Da, da, da, da, ONE TWO THREE FOUR..."

Lu Yao began to hum somewhat nonchalantly:
"Rainbow Lala people... okay..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Not to mention the audience, even the teacher sitting in front of the mixing console was speechless.

Looking at Lu Yao standing in front of the microphone and humming a song freely, everyone was wondering what he was doing.
But Wei Qianqian was suddenly stunned, then stopped playing, made an "X" in the air, and Lu Yao also stopped.

"Lu Yao, the beat is wrong."

"Ah."

Hearing her words, Lu Yao also nodded.

Indeed, the beat was wrong.

But this was not his fault, but because there was no in-ear monitoring, the sound of the band and accompaniment was transmitted incorrectly.

"Teacher, do we have earphones?"

Wei Qianqian asked.

"Yes, Qianqian, I'll get it for you."

A senior from the student union took the initiative to speak.

Soon, the microphone and earphones were brought over.

No belt though.

Lu Yao held the radio, which was like a walkie-talkie, in his hand, put an earphone in one ear, and nodded to Zhao Hang.

Soon, start again.

His mosquito-like humming sounded again.

He hummed a song, and even when it came to the chorus, the other four people's harmony drowned out his voice, he did not sing along, but continued to hum and listen to the sound in the headphones.

So much so that when the last part of the song was played, the only sound in the audience was Wei Qianqian's harmony, while he and Xu Gongzi concentrated on playing the guitar.

Finally, the song ends.

The people in the audience looked distressed.

What the hell did I watch?
But Lu Yao took off his earphones and made an OK gesture to several people.

Meaning: It’s okay.

"Teacher, we are ready now."

Wei Qianqian made an OK gesture towards the mixing console, and then the five people walked off the stage in unison.

People heard Lu Yao's voice:

"Hey, the effect is pretty good."

What a good hammer!

They thought...

What the hell is this?
