Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 152 Know Me
After being strangled to death by Mr. Xu, Lu Yao was finally relieved.

Carrying the computer case in one hand and dragging the suitcase in the other, he said hello to him and walked straight out of the dormitory.

When he arrived at the temporary parking lot that the school had reopened to make it easier for students to go home during the holidays, he saw his father standing by the car and waving at him.

He smiled and quickened his pace.

Lu Yuanshan also came over, took his son's mainframe, and carried him into the car:
"The monitor I bought has arrived home."

"Yeah. Where's my mom?"

"I'm cooking for you at home... Are you going to eat lunch at home?"

"Hey, that's for sure."

Lu Yao got into the car with a smile, and the father and son drove out of the campus together.

However... Lu Yao soon discovered something was wrong:
"Dad, where are we going?"

"New home."

Lu Yuanshan explained:

"We'll spend the New Year there this year. It's unlucky to leave a new house empty in the first year. Plus, our house is really too small, so let's live there. Let's spend the New Year in a new house!"

"Uh...ok."

Lu Yao nodded.

Shengshi Garden is actually quite close to Fortune Garden.

That being said...it's quite convenient.

In this way, the car came all the way to Dongchang New Village. From a distance, we saw several high-rise buildings and asked:
“How’s the occupancy rate?”

"It's OK. The main reason is that the community environment is good. Your mother and I have lived here for a few days. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I always feel that the air in Pudong is better than where we are."

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless and thought to himself, Dad, your statement is too subjective.

Soon, the car arrived in front of a parking space. When getting out of the car, Lu Yuanshan said:
"Remember this parking space, it's ours."

"bought?"

"No, the property management gave it to us for free. I am somewhat privileged after all~"

Looking at his father's smug look, Lu Yao curled his lips in his heart and thought, go ahead and brag.

What’s going on with this parking space... Others may not know, but he knows it very well.

But they didn't hesitate, they carried their luggage straight into the corridor and got on the elevator. Soon, the elevator arrived at the 33rd floor.

"Is there anyone living opposite?"

"No, nothing happened."

As he spoke, the door opened, and Lu Yao, who had not been to the house since his parents started renovating it, came to his "new home" for the first time in a real sense.

When I first entered the room, my first reaction was: it’s so big.

The house is said to be 133 square meters, and it is indeed so. But... it is on the top floor, and the ceiling is quite high, so it can be directly divided into a duplex.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Yao saw the stairs near the floor-to-ceiling windows and the duplex pavilion separated from it.

“…So big.”

He said.

Lu Yuanshan nodded:

"Well, the second floor is for your computer. You always complain that there's no place to study at home, so that upstairs is separated for you. There's also a small cloakroom. Your mom wanted to put a mahjong table there, but I refused. You can use that area as you like. It's for your wedding in the future anyway."

"Hey, okay."

Without even having time to go back to his own room, Lu Yao went upstairs carrying the host case.

The compartment is very solid, but the sound of walking seems a bit hollow.

The height above is not particularly high, only about two meters, which is a bit depressing, but completely sufficient.

Lu Yao made up his mind the moment his feet stepped on the wooden floor.

I can put a carpet in this area, so I can walk on it barefoot. Oh? There is also a small sofa? ... Then I can put a TV and a game console in it.

Tsk tsk tsk!
Oops.

Heaven!

He couldn't wait to start assembling the computer. At the same time, looking at the empty computer desk, he thought that he could add a screen... or even a perforated board and hang some models on it.

All of a sudden, he felt like he had entered the world of MC, and his interest in DIY was completely aroused.

Then I went to look at the cloakroom... It's called a cloakroom, but it's actually just a small partition. But my parents were very thoughtful and put a separate line in it, installed a switch, and there was a light on it that was perfect for changing clothes, as well as a full-length mirror.

The area is definitely not as large as his girlfriend's, but... he really likes it.

Sitting on the lazy sofa, he looked at everything around him, and a kind of joy from the bottom of his heart began to spread.

Then, his eyes fell on the computer.

Subconsciously, I want to start working and get a feel for the working environment.

But I immediately dismissed the idea.

No, I have something to do tonight.

His eyes moved slightly, and after thinking for a while, he picked up the guitar in the corner.

Downstairs, after hearing the sound of the guitar, Lu Yuanshan first glanced at his son, and then saw him holding the guitar and playing it, and then he directly lowered the volume of the TV.

……

Currently, the band No One Has a Baby has a total of four songs.

"Flowers", "Guo Yuanchao", "Defiance of Youth", and "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart".

Lu Yao estimated that... six to seven songs would be enough.

And this fifth one...

He was wondering if he should try something fancy.

Learn from Jay Chou and make a song in traditional Chinese style.

However... Chinese style and rock music don't seem to fit together.

So he kept searching his own "music library" to see if there was 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 of songs, some of which might be songs he liked, and some might just be added to the playlist occasionally, so he just leaned back in his chair and unconsciously strummed the guitar, continuing to search his mind.

Until... he suddenly played a melody.

The piano stopped playing before the melody was finished.

The next second, Lu Yuanshan heard his son's singing:
"I am left with the bright moon to recall the past, and to warm the wine to meet my soulmate. I wonder how many people in the world understand me..."

"?"

He subconsciously glanced up and saw his son suddenly start writing furiously at the computer desk.

He thought about it, silently withdrew his gaze, and turned the TV to the lowest volume.

……

Lu Yao:

"Shall we play a Chinese rock song?"

“I just had an idea.”

"I'll show you the lyrics."

Xu Ruochen:
"?"

"Chinese style? The kind of Jay Chou?"

"sure!"

"It feels quite interesting. But it doesn't seem to go well with rock music, does it?"

After Lu Yao finished speaking, he was the only one who responded.

The other three did not reply.

They should be busy with their own things.

About ten minutes later, Lu Yao sent me a verse:
"The moon sets over the river, wrinkling her eyes.

The boat is full of sweet dreams, pressing down on the starry sky.
But there are night birds singing sadly without anyone to join them,
Cut the tung tree into a zither and watch the mountain scenery.
Suddenly I heard a long song,
The raincoat is soaked with dew, and the fisherman and woodcutter are returning home at night..."

He typed a very long article, and after finishing it, he continued:

"I'll get a microphone and sound card like Lao Yu's, and I'll record a demo of this song for you to listen to. I'll be leaving first."

"Wait till I finish recording the demo and you guys listen to it and see how it feels."

Xu Ruochen:
"OK, let's not talk about anything else. The lyrics... feel pretty beautiful. Boya's soulmate?"

Lu Yao:

"Almost. I'm going to the computer city now."

Xu Ruochen:
"Row."

So, when Ms. Chen came back from shopping, she saw that Lu Yuanshan was alone at home, so she simply rolled her eyes:
"I bought the vegetables for nothing, didn't I? Where did the kid go again?"

Lu Yuanshan took the plastic bag from his wife with a smile and said:

"He went to do some serious work. He said he wanted to buy a microphone and a sound card to record a song or something... He went to the computer city."

"Are you sure you didn't go out to play with some little girl?"

"No, he was just writing songs. Hey."

Speaking of this, Lu Yuanshan was somewhat proud:
"My son inherited his musical talent from me."

"Whatever you say... Then can't he come back for lunch at noon?"

"Well."

Seeing that it was already past 11 o'clock, Lu Yuanshan was now unsure.

Logically speaking... you should come back, right?

……

And Lu Yao did come back, but...he came back quite late.

When he came back, it was already past 3pm.

And he was carrying a lot of things.

"This is……?"

Lu Yuanshan looked at his son coming into the house with a lot of bags, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Suit?"

"Well, I brought back the suit I made when I was an assistant to Sister Chu. The band has an event tonight and I need to attend it, so I need to dress formally."

As Lu Yao spoke, he handed the suit bags to his father, then carried two boxes and returned to his "workshop".

Inside is a Creative sound card, microphone, stand, an entry-level effects pedal, and a DJ console.

Coincidentally, when he arrived at the computer mall, he saw a fever store on the first floor that specialized in selling various audio equipment. After walking in and looking around, he bought a microphone and also took a fancy to the Pioneer DJ console.

When he was in Sanya before, he thought this thing was very interesting.

Moreover, this entry-level console is not expensive, the total cost is only about 2,000 to 3,000. The most important thing is that it also comes with a tutorial for beginners, various effects, and REKARDBOX and SERATO software.

Although Lu Yao didn't know what these two softwares were used for yet, he heard from the salesperson that with these two softwares, combined with the tuning software that came with the microphone, he could compose his own music at home.

Anyway, he was interested in these things, so he just bought them all.

Then I started tinkering.

I installed it according to the tutorial and downloaded the software...but soon I faced a problem.

The computer feels a bit messy.

After thinking for a while, he said to his father: "Dad, I also want a mainframe case."

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Lu Yuanshan nodded:

"Okay, then you buy it, use my credit card."

"okay."

So, on the first day of winter vacation, Lu Yao started to busy himself with these things. He spent nearly 6 yuan to buy various graphics cards, CPUs and other parts. When he finished everything, it was almost o'clock.

And also got a small "harvest".

When he was packing things, he accidentally pulled out the barb on his nail, which resulted in bleeding and he had to put on a Band-Aid.

Seeing that the time was almost up, and remembering the banquet in the evening, he did not dare to delay, and quickly took a shower and changed into a suit.

You know what, a good suit really makes a difference when you wear it.

Even Lu Yuanshan and Ms. Chen felt that their son had suddenly become "mature".

"Mom, I'm leaving."

"Well, drive carefully and don't drink, okay?"

"know."

Lu Yao responded, put on a thin down jacket over his suit, and walked out the door.

Soon, the Golf drove out of the parking lot that still seemed a little unfamiliar to him.

In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at Fortune Garden and called his girlfriend:
"Hey, I'm here, where are you two?"

"Just come to Xiaochu's house."

"it is good."

Lu Yao responded, parked the car, and went upstairs with ease.

I knocked on the door, and soon there was 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...it was the first time he saw Xu Ruochu wearing this kind of makeup.

It is no longer the usual dull makeup where you can hardly see the makeup, but a... very delicate makeup.

He couldn't explain exactly how exquisite it was, but... from beginning to end, it felt very different.

If she was like a lily in the peaceful years before, then she is like a peony today.

There is a kind of... indescribable beauty.

The second thing is what she said.

If she hadn't mentioned it, Lu Yao would have forgotten it himself...there was another room card in his house.

"...?"

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 improved.

So, without Lu Yao's answer, she made way.

"Come in, I'll go change."

"Uh... ok."

Lu Yao came back to his senses and walked in.

Then I saw my girlfriend sitting on the sofa with a look of disgust on her face:

"Hey~~ What are you wearing? Suit + down jacket? Where's your coat?"

"It's very cold outside. Just put on this for now, and I'll take it off when we get there."

"Oh...what happened to your hand? Is it hurt?"

Hu Li quickly stood up with concern.

"No, barbs."

Lu Yao said this and walked towards her.

Looking at her casually dressed appearance, he asked:

"You're not going?"

"No. I'd rather keep a low profile. What if someone sees us being so distant again and some gossip gets out?"

Hu Li shook his head, then stood up and unzipped his down jacket.

"Well... you know what, this suit looks nice."

As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and kissed her boyfriend's lips lightly, with tears in her eyes:
"Will you be back... tonight?"

Lu Yao shook his head slightly:

"I have to go home."

“I’m leaving in a few days.”

Hearing this, Lu Yao was stunned, and then he remembered... Yes, the Spring Festival is only half a month away.

"Then...will you wait for me tonight?"

The royal sister smiled immediately:

"Hehe, yeah! I'll wait for you, no matter how late it is."

"Hmm...what kind of party 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. Charity."

Lu Yao was stunned and asked subconsciously:

"No way... it's that Aunt Bai again, right?"

Before Xu Ruochu could answer, Hu Li sneered:
"That's all she can do."

"Then... won't it be exposed? After all, last time I was just Chu Jie's assistant and Xiao Chen's friend. This time I suddenly changed..."

"We can only appear as a couple on occasions like this."

Xu Ruochu shook his head slightly:
"If it's a party at my own house, I definitely can't bring you. After all... if I bring you home, it means that our relationship is almost confirmed. That's definitely not possible. And for that kind of business dinner, I can go by myself, and others won't care about our relationship, so it's useless. The dinner hosted by Aunt Bai is a kind of... more compromising occasion. There are many people who know me there, and if I take you there, they can see you. It's considered to confirm our relationship, and they won't ask too much about you. Moreover, the news that we attended a banquet together can also be spread, which is more appropriate."

After hearing her explanation, Lu Yao nodded and roughly understood the situation:
"I see. Is there anything I can do?"

"You don't need anything, I'll do it."

As she spoke, she untied her tied hair.

Only then did Lu Yao realize that she had permed her hair at some point.

It's a big roll.

The falling hair adds a touch of maturity and charm.

"How about this one?"

She looked at Lu Yao and Hu Li and asked.

She still dressed conservatively, mainly in black.

The wide skirt and narrow top make her limbs look slender, and the diamond earrings on both sides of her ears sparkle under the light.

With exquisite makeup...it looks elegant and generous, and at the same time, it is very attractive to the opposite sex.

"Perfect."

Hu Li smiled and raised two thumbs up to show her approval.

Xu Ruochu nodded slightly and looked at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao thought for a moment and said:

"Would it be more appropriate if I tied my hair up?"

"No."

Hu Li shook his head directly:

"It's too business-like to tie it up. It's just perfect to 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 came out carrying a bright handbag and holding a wooden box in her other hand.

When he walked to the coffee table, Lu Yao saw that the box was full of watches.

Still a men's model.

"These are all new models this year. They were originally prepared for Xiaochen. But he can't use them... This one, you wear this today."

She took a watch out of the box.

A turquoise watch.

"Patek Philippe's new model this year is the REF5270. This green lacquered dial with a black gradient effect and gold three-dimensional hour markers goes perfectly with your outfit."

"Uh... ok."

He didn't ask how much.

But... Patek Philippe is not cheap.

After putting on the watch, Hu Li also walked to Xu Ruochu's side, looked her boyfriend up and down, and nodded vigorously:
"Well, it's beautiful."

"Let's go."

Xu Ruochu looked at the time on his watch and said.

"You guys go ahead, I'll look for other Patek Philippe watches. I think they're more suitable for him than Rolex."

So, the two of them walked out of the door one after another and walked into the elevator.

After going downstairs, he took the key to the SLK that Xu Ruochu handed to him.

Couldn't help but laugh and said:
“I haven’t driven this car for a long time.”

"Ah."

Xu Ruochu nodded, holding her handbag with both hands, and suddenly said:

"Sir, it's time to open the door for me."

"Uh...ok."

Lu Yao reacted, smiled and nodded, then helped her open the passenger door.

After the other person sat down, he closed the door and then came to the driver's seat.

As soon as he got in the car, he saw Xu Ruochu stroking her hair.

After stroking it a few times, he took off the rubber band on his wrist and tied it up.

"Is that so?"

After the injection, she asked.

Lu Yao nodded:
"Well, this is still the case...it's more suitable for Chujie."

"what."

Xu Ruochu chuckled, fastened his seat belt, and said:
"Let's go."

Soon, the SLK emitted a low roar, drove out of the basement and merged into the night.
