Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 139 The Man in the Rainbow
"Hello, Mr. Wu... Yes, we just finished rehearsal."

"Ah? Well...it should be possible."

"Hey, we definitely welcome you."

"Yeah, then tell us when you get there tomorrow."

"Ok!"

Soon, Wei Qianqian hung up the phone and said to a few people:

"Teacher Wu will come to watch our performance tomorrow. He wants to see the live effect."

Hearing this, Master Xu asked:

"Squad leader, are the two positions we want reserved?"

"I'll keep it, don't worry."

Wei Qianqian made an OK gesture.

Then, she looked at Lu Yao:
"Have you decided on your clothes?"

"It's confirmed... Oh yeah, I forgot to show you."

He simply pulled out his phone, quickly found the selfie he took at home that day, and showed it to everyone.

Except for Mr. Xu who commented "just like a scoundrel of gentlemanly virtue", everyone else expressed their approval.

Indeed, this is very Dou Wei.

"It's settled then. Tomorrow afternoon, come to the practice room and I'll put makeup on you."

"…still wearing makeup?"

The three boys looked resistant.

Wei Qianqian rolled her eyes when she saw this:

"What's wrong with putting on makeup? Without it, the light on your faces will be full of shadows."

"That's it. Do you understand? What a pathetic boy."

Zhang Lina also joined in.

Lu Yao scratched his head:

"Are you skilled enough?"

"!"

His words sounded like a provocation to the monitor, and Wei Qianqian's eyes immediately turned hostile:
"What? You don't trust me? ... I've been wearing makeup since freshman year of high school. Have you ever noticed?"

"…Are you melted now?"

"It has melted."

"Tsk. I don't think you'll be chosen as the school beauty without makeup."

"I'll kick you to death!"

"Hahahahaha..."

As several people laughed, Lu Yao was chased away by her like a chicken.

After being caught, he was beaten up several times.

Chatting and laughing, everyone said goodbye downstairs of the dormitory building.

After the two girls left, Lu Yao also waved:

"I'm leaving."

"..."

Master Xu rolled his eyes and put his arm around Zhao Hang's shoulders:

"get out."

"Where is Lu Yao going?"

"Go sell your ass."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Amidst laughter, he walked out of the school gate again, feeling both amused and helpless, and took a taxi back to Fortune Garden.

As soon as he walked out of the elevator, he smelled a very special fragrance.

Just when he was wondering where the noise came from, he opened the door and saw Hu Li, wearing an apron, sitting in front of the dining table, holding a spatula in one hand and drinking water from a cup in the other.

"Cooking?"

"Yes, French red wine beef. I learned how to make it during the Chinese New Year. It's delicious. Are you done?"

"Ah."

Lu Yao changed his shoes, walked over to her and hugged her.

As soon as she mentioned it, she sat down at the dining table.

Hooking her neck, the royal sister laughed foolishly:

"Miss me so much?"

"Um……"

He buried his head in his girlfriend's neck and rubbed it gently, which soon made Hu Li's eyes blurry.

"I've arranged seats for you. Just arrive before seven tomorrow."

"..."

Hu Li no longer had the heart to talk.

He had just taken a health pill in the morning and was very angry at the moment.

"How long will it take to stew?"

"One...one hour."

"Not quite enough, how about stewing it for two hours?"

"……Um."

Her voice was a little hesitant, more like shyness.

Soon, the spatula was thrown on the dining table and she was carried into the house by her boyfriend.

……

On Tuesday, the atmosphere at Fuhua was almost like a holiday.

Even in the Fuhua basketball team group, Qian Wenke and others had already left.

There was a five-day holiday for New Year's Day, and they chose to go home.

As for the New Year's Day performance party...only freshmen and sophomores watch it for fun, and juniors and seniors aren't particularly interested.

After all, I've been watching it for several years.

When Lu Yao arrived at the school, he already saw many people walking out of the campus carrying suitcases.

He had been working too hard recently, and the progress of the chip model had come to a standstill. But he was not in a hurry, after all, this job could not be completed by working overtime for a day or two.

To complete this model, Lu Yao estimated that he would need to devote his full energy to it for at least three or four months, so one or two days would not be a big deal.

In the morning, he and Xu Ruochen went over the three most important solo parts of the song "Flowers" many times in the dormitory.

In the afternoon, the band went to the scene for another rehearsal.

After making sure everything was OK, at around four o'clock, Wei Qianqian began to put makeup on everyone.

Including Lu Yao, everyone was uncomfortable with the sticky stuff on their faces. But as the makeup was done, Zhang Lina's eyes lit up:

"I just realized that the lead singer, guitarist, and drummer of our band are actually handsome guys."

Although it's a joke, the effect can be seen here.

Lu Yao looked at himself in the mirror and sighed:
"Man, this look will charm so many girls, right? Sisters."

"..."

"..."

Zhang Lina and Wei Qianqian were speechless.

I thought to myself that our lead singer is like a dog that can’t spit out ivory.

……

At around 5 o'clock, it was time to eat.

But several people didn't go.

Because what Zhang Lina meant was "blowing when full and singing when hungry", and I don't know where this saying came from.

But everyone chose to obey.

Apart from Zhao Hang's words "We are the ones playing the guitar, and Lu Yao is the one singing, right? Why can't I eat?"... of course, the price he paid was being punched by the bassist.

Be honest.

Although they said they would not be eating, Wei Qianqian still prepared yogurt, bread and other things for everyone.

I have to admit that she is the one who takes care of all the busy work in the band now.

Just like a manager.

Everyone has gotten used to it.

Lu Yao drank a box of yogurt, and then began to drink warm water silently to moisten his throat.

At around six o'clock, people began to enter the auditorium.

It became noisy with chirping sounds.

On the program list, "Flowers - No One Survivors" is the second program.

After all, they are freshmen, and the school does not expect them to bring any explosive performances.

What's more, during the rehearsal, Lu Yao's arrogant look made them feel that he was unreliable.

At 6:40, someone backstage saw Wu Mengqi.

However, Mr. Wu himself can be considered to be a gentleman and elegant man, so he looks just like a school teacher and there is no sense of incongruity.

At 6:50, Lu Yao saw his girlfriend and Xu Ruochu.

The two of them sat in the front row in the seat Wei Qianqian had reserved for them. Seeing Lu Yao looking at her, Hu Li waved happily. But Xu Ruochen's mouth twitched.

"Oh my god...my sister brought my stepmother here."

"?"

Lu Yao was stunned.

When I looked again, I saw... the young... auntie whom I had seen at the funeral.

As soon as she sat down, she sat next to Xu Ruochu.

And, I have to admit... when these three people sit there, the old and the young have different temperaments, but they are very... attractive to men.

"Do you want to talk to the monitor?"

"Well, let me go on."

Xu Ruochen nodded, walked over to Wei Qianqian and spoke.

Wei Qianqian waved her hand nonchalantly:
"It's okay. It's the same for three people. Many people didn't come today. Those who came are freshmen and sophomores. There are enough places."

As she spoke, she also glanced over there, somewhat surprised.

When Xu Ruochen said "my aunt is here", this aunt looked so young.

I think she's my sister, right?
……

"It's great. College life..."

Lin Miaoyun looked around with a smile and couldn't help but sigh to Xu Ruochu beside her.

"Sitting here, I feel like I'm ten years younger."

Xu Ruochu said that if you were ten years younger, you would be a college student.

But she didn't say anything, and Lin Miaoyun looked around and asked:

"Where's Xiaochen?"

"there."

Following the direction Xu Ruochu pointed, Lin Miaoyun looked... She didn't see Xu Ruochen, but she saw a familiar person.

"Huh? ...Xiaochu, isn't that boy your assistant?"

"Yes, Lu Yao, he is with Xiao Chen. They have a very good relationship and live in the same dormitory."

"I see. Hey, I had a pretty good impression of him, and he took good care of you... Well, he's handsome, too. I hadn't noticed him before, he's quite a handsome boy. Does he have a girlfriend? He's so handsome, there must be a lot of girls chasing after him, right?"

"..."

"..."

Xu Ruochu and Hu Li were both speechless.

Especially Hu Li...he wanted to say something, but finally chose to remain silent.

But...she is somewhat conflicted.

After all, she was quite happy that others praised her boyfriend so much.

After thinking about it, Xu Ruochu could only give an ambiguous answer:

"Well, Lu Yao is indeed excellent."

"How old is he?"

"Born on the same day as Xiaochen."

"Ah... Isn't that four years older than you? Do you two have a chance?"

"..."

"..."

Hu Li, who was a little happy just now, felt his temples begin to bulge. "What are you doing?"

Xu Ruochu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm anxious."

Lin Miaoyun said with a smile:
"You seem to be alone every day... Is the boy I introduced to you last time not good enough? Are you still in touch?"

"Du Xun? No more contact."

"Ah? What a pity! He is good-looking and well-educated..."

"Mom!"

Xu Ruochu was speechless and quickly grabbed her hand:

"Okay, okay, I can handle my own affairs."

"Oh, I'm just anxious. Dating for a year, getting married for a year, and getting pregnant for a year, these are the best years for women..."

"..."

"..."

Hu Li, who is half a year older than Xu Ruochu, was completely speechless.

I feel that the other person's words are like knives, stabbing my heart again and again.

But she soon became happy again.

Humph, that handsome guy you are talking about is mine.

Hum hum……

As the three of them were chatting, as the upper and lower floors of the auditorium were almost full, the lights in the venue dimmed.

Four hosts in formal attire appeared on stage.

The 2011 Fuhua University New Year’s Eve Gala officially kicked off.

……

The first program was a collective program, a chorus of the school song organized by the Student Union.

When the chorus sounded at the beginning, Lu Yao and his friends were already standing backstage.

"Huh... I'm a little nervous, what should I do?"

Hearing Zhang Lina's words, Wei Qianqian smiled and shook her head:
"It doesn't matter. There's an accompaniment anyway, so it doesn't matter if you make a mistake. Come on!"

Hearing her words, Zhao Hang suddenly stretched out his hand:

"come on!"

Several people were stunned, and then put their hands on it.

Wei Qianqian, who was on the top, couldn't help but laugh:
"Isn't that a bit silly?"

"Ha, come on, squad leader, say a few words."

After hearing Xu Ruochen's words, Wei Qianqian thought for a moment and said:
"Then... I wish our No Survivors Band's first live performance a complete success! One! Two! Three!"

"come on!"

The five people said in unison.

"No One Survivors band, get ready, it's your turn."

"Ok."

After hearing the director's reminder, several people nodded.

Time to start.

……

"The next performance will be a wonderful one brought to you by our freshmen. The style of this song is independent and free rock. It is also a passionate bloom of praise for life..."

The student union members were quickly setting up the musical instruments, and during the preparation time, the two hosts were making the transition.

And off the field.

Wu Mengqi stood with another middle-aged man.

Listening to the host's voice, the middle-aged man covered his mouth and said to Wu Mengqi:
"That's them, right?"

"Correct."

"What song is this? It's covered so tightly."

The middle-aged man seemed speechless.

"You'll know in a moment. Lao Chen, they are definitely rough diamonds. Trust me, they are for sure."

Chen Pu, a good friend of Wu Mengqi.

He is also his agent.

The two have been in a relationship for nearly twenty years, working together, developing together, and being very close.

And today, Wu Mengqi brought him here just to let him see these young people from the "No One Survivors" band.

Chen Pu is not only Wu Mengqi's agent, but also the agent of other singers. His main job is to manage the connections of the Xiangnan group. Wu Mengqi's career has developed so well in the past two years, and he has been able to appear on various programs on Mango TV. Naturally, his contribution is also indispensable.

After hearing Wu Mengqi's words, Chen Pu nodded, but suddenly said:
"I heard that the guitarist in their band is quite famous. Was it arranged by Xinsuo's Chen Haiwen himself?"

"Yes. But I don't know their specific origins. I asked you to see this band, not their background... You will understand after watching it."

"Ok."

Chen Pu nodded again and said nothing.

He has actually been on a business trip recently. Mango TV is going to launch several new programs next year, and all the singers under his command want to compete for it. As the most popular TV station in China, it takes more than just strength and fame to be on Mango TV.

There are so many talented and famous people, why do you think you can get on top?

So it would take a lot of time. He had been in Xiangnan for nearly a month, and just came back when he was pulled here by his good friend.

Moreover, the song is not available for listening.

Just tell him: I got a job as a producer for a band.

Chen Pu subconsciously asked him: How much is it?
The answer is: free.

Or an investment.

Wu Mengqi thinks these young people are worth investing in.

He found it a little ridiculous.

There are so many people worth investing in. As a gold medal producer, the production cost of a song is often over six figures. Why are you working for them for free?

This made him feel somewhat incomprehensible.

What's more...the song is not for him to listen to.

No matter what he said, he refused to give it to him and insisted on dragging him to the scene to see it.

It’s just a LIVE…what’s so new about it?
What's more...it's just Fuhua's New Year's Eve party.

He has many mysteries in his mind.

But now that I'm here, I might as well make the best of it.

Standing in the side aisle, Chen Pu folded his arms.

He wanted to see... what kind of band this band that Old Wu recommended was like.

Fuhua is a good school... Can these top students really play rock music?

Don't end up with a song that is too highbrow to be appreciated by the general public.

He pondered in confusion.

……

"No one survived... What a name. A life or death situation."

Second floor of the auditorium, first row.

After hearing the host's introduction, the girl complained and turned her head to look to the side.

"I really don't understand the mentality of those of you who like rock music. Where is the soil for rock music in our country?"

Bai Yao rolled her eyes, crossed her exaggeratedly long legs, and rubbed her wrists while saying:
"Rock is an attitude. To put it more poetically, no matter what kind of soil it is, it can't stop the seeds from sprouting."

"alright."

The girl said, glanced at the wrist of the captain of the Fuhua Women's Volleyball Team, frowned and asked:

"Feeling unwell again?"

"……Um."

Bai Yao nodded slightly.

"So what are you going to do? Are you going to play in the World University Games in March? ... With your injury, I guess your mother won't let you play, right?"

"Fight. Why not?"

Bai Yao asked back, and then asked:
“When did I ever give up?”

"...Tsk."

The girl shook her head with emotion:
"Then don't blame others when you get sick."

Before Bai Yao could say anything, several girls carrying shoulder bags came over quickly:

"Senior."

"team leader."

"Hey, Sister Qingqing is here too."

They quickly greeted each other and sat in the empty seats that had been reserved for them.

"Captain, how's your wrist?"

"If you're not feeling well, take a good rest during the New Year's Day."

"Rest more, you will definitely recover."

Several girls were chattering, and Bai Yao responded with a smile.

He smiled and shook his head to show that it was okay.

At this time, the band was finally ready, and the host said:
"Now, please welcome the song "Flowers" performed by the band No Survivors. Please give them a round of applause!"

"Crash..."

Sparse applause broke out.

"what?"

One of the girls who had just arrived made a puzzled sound:

"It's that junior student."

Hearing this, the girl named Qingqing sitting next to Bai Yao also stretched her head and looked down, her eyes lit up:
"Hey, handsome guy!"

Then, she turned to the girls and asked:
"Do you know that handsome lead singer?"

Although she was confused about who this girl was, one of the female team members nodded:
"I know him. His name seems to be... Lu Yao, right?"

"Yes, Lu Yao. He's a freshman and also on the basketball team. He's pretty good at playing basketball. Hmm... I think he's become more handsome."

"He probably wears makeup, but he's not ugly. When his basketball team plays, a lot of girls cheer for him."

Several girls were chatting loudly.

On the stage, Lu Yao turned his head to look at the guitar on the shelf, then looked at everyone else.

Seeing that everyone else was almost ready, he took a deep breath and turned around.

I saw my girlfriend's side at a glance.

So he smiled slightly as a greeting, and sang softly:
"My heart, my heart~ The whole building is for rent, every corner is for you..."

He sang, and the others followed in harmony.

At this moment, there is no band accompaniment.

He just sang it like that.

The low sound is not particularly catchy, after all, the bass is not within his advantage range.

But the song had already started and many people's attention was drawn back.

"Always full, always full, always full~"

"Ta, ta, ta, ta."

As Zhao Hang struck the drumstick four times, Lu Yao held the microphone with one hand.

With a "boom" sound, the Coldplay style prelude music sounded.

It was precisely because the contrast between the previous a cappella singing and the rock-style music was so strong that everyone's eyes lit up.

Ok?
That sounds good.

Just as he was thinking, Lu Yao, who was wearing a black suit and several skull rings on his fingers, held the microphone in one hand and pointed in the direction of his girlfriend with the other hand:

"How are you, people in the rainbow?"

Hu Li blushed for no apparent reason.

The corners of his mouth turned up.

Joy gradually spread.

Don't worry about whether it's because you love the person and the people in him or it's an instinctive reaction.

Anyway...

She loves this song!

And just as the joy was spreading, perhaps it was because the melody of the song was pretty good, or maybe Lu Yao's voice was very attractive... or maybe, the way he looked in all black, pointing at the audience, was really too attractive to girls.

"Oh~~~~~"

Cheers, with more female voices than men, rang out from the audience.
