Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 32 Have a drink with me

Originally, Hu Li asked Lu Yao to pick her up at 7 o'clock, saying that she had a class at 8 o'clock.

But by the time she finished her meal, it was already 8 o'clock.

By the time we checked out and left, it was already 8:05.

After getting in the car, Hu Li said:
"I'm not going to practice today. Take me somewhere to get some clothes."

"Ok."

Lu Yao didn't have any objection. He was just a driver and he just went wherever his boss told him to go.

Besides, it's not appropriate to exercise right after eating. You have to wait at least an hour, and at this point... an hour is already past 9 o'clock.

There was only the sound of songs in the car, nothing else.

Lu Yao guessed that Hu Li had some Gemini characteristics.

Quite a split personality.

In this mood, the wind is the wind and the rain is the rain.

I was enjoying the food at the table just now, but at this point, I started playing NetEase Cloud EMO again.

baffling.

But he didn't ask any more questions. Following the navigation address given, Lu Yao arrived at the entrance of an old residential area that looked quite old.

There was some surprise in his eyes.

Because... this neighborhood looks really old.

It has nothing to do with the rich woman sitting in the passenger seat who can easily take out 200 million in pocket money.

However, the security was quite strict. When arriving at the gate of the community, one had to "swipe" Hu Li's face before being allowed in.

After driving the car in, Lu Yao felt something different in the community.

There are a lot of A6s...

In other words, apart from the A6, there are no other luxury cars.

It looks like an ordinary residential area, and even the buildings are not tall, with each building having six floors.

But the temperament is somewhat different.

Hu Li directed him to walk, and after several turns, they came to a parking space with a triangular stake erected.

After she got out of the car and moved it away, Lu Yao stopped the car.

"Sister Li, can I go up with you?"

Hearing this, Hu Li seemed a little hesitant.

But after looking at Lu Yao twice, he nodded:

"Well, let's go."

As she spoke, she took Lu Yao into the unit door.

In Lu Yao's eyes, this building must have been built in the early 1990s, or even earlier.

But when he entered the unit door, he was stunned.

Because... there is an elevator.

Although it looks very old, it is quite impressive that an elevator was taken into consideration when this six-story building was originally designed and built.

You should know that according to national regulations, elevators are required to be installed in buildings with more than seven floors.

Not to mention the age of the building.

The elevator hummed up to the fifth floor. Hu Li went out and turned left, and Lu Yao saw a dusty red "Safe Entry and Exit" floor mat.

It’s not appropriate to say that it’s dusty, it’s actually not that dirty.

But... that sense of age gives people the feeling that it has been here for a long time and no one cares about it.

creak.

The door opens.

Hu Li turned on the light with ease.

Lu Yao also saw the whole picture of the room.

The European log building style that was very popular in the 1990s.

Old and outdated.

All the furniture, including the dining table, was covered with dust sheets, proving once again that no one had lived there for a long time.

Even the TV was of an old-fashioned type.

But Hu Li took off her shoes, changed into the slippers at the door, and also got a pair of guest shoes for Lu Yao.

Then he walked towards the bedroom in silence.

In Lu Yao's opinion, this house was at least twice as big as his own.

At least 130 square meters.

And it doesn’t have a public area.

The bedroom doors were all closed. Hu Li opened one and walked in.

Almost in a flash, a suitcase was pushed out:

"Help me put it on."

"Ok."

After hearing this, Lu Yao had no intention of going into the bedroom and opened his suitcase in the living room.

But there was no movement in the bedroom.

Lu Yao waited for about ten minutes, and seeing no movement inside, he walked over, came to the door and knocked:

"Sister Li?"

Then... he saw Hu Li crying silently.

She was crying while holding a photo album in her hands.

"..."

The road is long and speechless.

I didn't know what to say for a while.

Looking around... he saw a large photo frame on the wall of a little girl in a dance costume and makeup smiling at the camera, as well as several vintage star posters.

The desk, the messy textbooks on the desk, the faded doll on the windowsill, the badminton racket in the corner, and the shoe cabinet filled with many small dance shoes next to the wardrobe. And the glass cabinet of honorary trophies and certificates.

"Lu Yao."

At this time, the woman who was crying silently spoke.

"Yes, Sister Li."

"Please help me...pack all the clothes in the closet into the box."

"Ok."

Lu Yao nodded and opened the wardrobe.

The clothes in the closet were all covered in plastic dust covers, but Lu Yao could still see them clearly... These were not clothes that Hu Li could wear now, but dance costumes.

They are all very small, and look like... the smallest one should be worn by a child of four or five years old, and the oldest one should be only eleven or twelve years old.

He immediately understood the value of these clothes and said softly:

"I will stack them carefully, don't worry, Sister Li."

Hu Li, who had lost all her charm, smiled gently:
"Well, please."

So, with the sound of plastic crackling, Lu Yao folded about a dozen pieces of clothing and packed them into the suitcase.

The suitcase is full too.

"Sister Li, are there any other boxes?"

"No, just install these."

"Then these shoes and trophies..."

"..."

Hu Li, who seemed to be in a much more stable mood, thought for a moment and said:

"I'll find a bag and take them together."

"Ok."

Lu Yao nodded, and when she got up and went out to find the bag, he went closer to the honor display case.

"The First Shanghai TV Golden Sun Children's Latin Dance Competition - First Prize: Hu Li"

"Yanjing International Latin Dance Invitational Competition Children's Group - Gold Award - Hu Li"

"Tokyo... Gold Award - FU RI"

"Taoli Cup Youth Dance Competition - Silver Award - Hu Li"

Not to mention other competitions... He had heard of the Golden Sun Dance.

Lu Qing practiced dancing when she was a child, but unfortunately gave up halfway.

To Lu Yao, that dance was like a strange creature.

The dance class I signed up for at that time was taught by a judge of the Golden Sun Dance Competition.

It is said to be very powerful.

Lu Yao also watched this program on TV.

Judging from this aspect alone...Hai Hou should be a very good dancer.

This would explain why her manners were so attractive.

That is a quality that dancers naturally maintain.

At this time, Hu Li walked in.

Seeing Lu Yao staring at the honor cabinet, she didn't say anything.

Because Lu Yao had already taken the bag on his own initiative.

"Sister Li, do you want to wrap these dance shoes in paper?" "Uh... OK."

"Then these trophies..."

"…Take them all."

Lu Yao started to get busy.

Soon, after packing his dancing shoes and honors, he stood up with a little sweat on his forehead and asked:
"What else do you want to install?"

"..."

Hu Li was speechless and looked around.

Under the light, her eyes were like the sea.

It seems calm, but the waves are still turbulent.

"That's all."

As she spoke, she picked up the photo album again and held it in her arms:
"let's go."

"Ok."

Lu Yao walked out first.

Carrying two large bags and a box, he turned his head and looked.

The woman stood at the bedroom door, motionless.

He said nothing and went straight to the door.

After a few minutes, the power was turned off, and the woman came out holding the photo album and closed the door without saying a word.

There was a "bang" sound.

That was the sound of the last memory being blown to pieces.

……

There was silence throughout the whole process. When Hu Li saw Lu Yao put the boxes and bags in the back seat instead of in the trunk, a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes.

When Lu Yao helped her open the car door, she said:
"Thank you."

"It should."

The car started again.

"Sister Li, where are we going?"

"Let's go to the hotel. Then you can go back and have a rest. You've worked hard."

"It should."

At this time, the melody of an old song sounded from the car stereo.

There are no lyrics, but the melody is soft and melodious.

But Hu Li began to hum softly:

"I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail~Yes I would, if I could, I surely would~"

I would rather be a sparrow than a snail.

Yes, I would if I could.

Her voice was not crisp.

Just as Lu Yao always described her as a smoky-voiced lark.

Her voice was a little hoarse, but very textured.

It's just right to sing this song.

Peruvian folk song - "Eagle Song"

She seemed to be familiar with the song.

Just hum along to the melody until the end of the song, then rewind and loop again.

This time, she stopped singing and said:

“My dad plays guitar.”

Lu Yao quietly slowed down the car.

"He plays guitar very well... Can you play guitar?"

"……meeting."

"..."

The Queen's gaze fell on him again, and she asked to confirm:
"You can?"

"Yeah. I learned it when I was a kid... My father also knew it, so I learned it by osmosis."

After Lu Yao finished speaking, Hu Li nodded, looked ahead and continued:

"My father has a very low voice... Actually, my voice is also very low. My mother said that I inherited it from my father."

"..."

"My father likes this song very much. He said... if he has a chance in the future, he will definitely go to Peru to listen to the locals playing this song and dance with my mother to the Guaynu dance. Do you know what the Guaynu dance is?"

"This... is really unclear."

"It's PART 3 of "Song of the Eagle". The dance of this song is divided into three parts. It consists of a Yaravi love song, a Pasakaye dance and a Peruvian Guaynu dance... It's very elegant. I'll dance it for you some other day."

"……it is good."

Although he didn't know whether they would still be destined to meet again "some other day", Lu Yao still agreed.

Looking forward to tomorrow is always better than dwelling on the past.

After Lu Yao agreed, Hu Li stopped moving.

Just playing this song over and over again.

All the way to the concierge desk at the Marriott Marquis.

This time, Lu Yao didn’t say he was leaving.

A girl like her couldn't carry those things on the back seat.

After getting off the car, he opened the back door. Seeing this, the doorman immediately wanted to push the luggage cart over, but Lu Yao waved his hand and followed Hu Li, carrying two bags and a suitcase himself.

"Let me get you one."

Hu Li said.

"No, it won't sink."

"……it is good."

The two entered the hotel together.

Lu Yao had no intention of observing the decoration of the hotel. He followed her into the elevator and went up to the floor.

Finally, we arrived at a door that was much wider than the door of an ordinary hotel room.

Hu Li swiped the card, opened the door and walked in.

When Lu Yao followed him in, his first reaction was...

really big.

He had stayed in five-star hotels in his previous life, but the best was only a suite.

The kind with a living room outside and a bedroom inside.

But here...

For a moment, Lu Yao didn't know what to say.

Is this... the presidential suit?
He didn't know for sure, but it was true... the room was very big.

It’s about two and a half (at least) the size of my own home.

Then I heard Hu Li say:

"I'll hang up the clothes myself, you just go back and rest."

As she spoke, she had already opened a wardrobe in the living room.

Seeing this, Lu Yao said:

"Let me help Sister Li hang it up, so the two of you can clean up faster."

"……it is good."

So, Lu Yao unfolded the suitcase and started taking out the little skirts and dresses and hung them in the closet.

He also took out the remaining shoes and put them in the closet.

After putting away all the shoes, only a pile of honorary trophies were left.

Lu Yao looked left and right, and pointed at the small bar:

"Can I move the wine away and put these trophies there?"

Hu Li looked in the direction he pointed, thought for a moment, and nodded:
"Yeah, okay. Let's go together."

No, this side is higher, I can do it myself."

After refusing her help, Lu Yao began to clean up the foreign liquor on the table.

Seeing how skillful he was, Hu Li didn't make any more trouble. He just sat on the sofa and watched him busy.

She didn't react much when I was putting away the bottles of foreign liquor.

But when Lu Yao started to place the trophies, her features softened when she saw that he would carefully wipe the trophies with a piece of cotton cloth used to wipe wine glasses before placing them on the table.

And when Lu Yao finished his work, he washed his hands.

Hu Li came over.

I came to the bar and selected a bottle of wine and two glasses:
"Lu Yao."

"Eh."

"Come and have a drink with me."

She said.
