Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 48: Overwhelmed by Tenderness

"My cousin, Wang Tianshu."

It’s like being assigned a task by an NPC, but not wanting to read the task description. You just follow the automatic path to kill monsters, and when you have enough monsters, you go back to hand in the task and gain experience.

After the school beauty greeted Lu Yao, she introduced her cousin behind her without waiting for Lu Yao to speak.

But...she saw the cigarette in Lu Yao's hand.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

When did he start smoking?

When Lu Yao heard this, he nodded politely and said hello:
"Hello, cousin. I am Lu Yao, the class monitor's classmate."

"Hey, hello."

Wang Tianshu actually took the initiative to extend his hand.

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, but reacted quickly and reached out his hand.

Then he said to them:
"Hu Li...my sister. Sister Li, this is my classmate Wei Qianqian."

"Uh-huh, hello."

In fact, Hu Li had been looking at Wei Qianqian just now.

After looking her up and down, he had a friendly smile on his face.

"Hello, sister."

Wei Qianqian also greeted politely, and Wang Tianshu extended his hand again:
"Sister Li, long time no see. It's been several months since we last attended You Run's birthday party."

"Yes, it has been a while."

Hu Li still smiled and shook hands with him, then said with a smile:
"Why did you come out?"

"Go get her some clothes from the car. The air conditioner inside is a little cold. Does Sister Li need any?"

"No, I'm not cold. Shall we have a drink after the game?"

Hearing this, Wang Tianshu immediately smiled and nodded:

"No problem. I'll be there in a minute. I didn't even have time to have a drink last time. I have to take the initiative this time."

"Hehe, okay~"

As Hu Li agreed, Wang Tianshu glanced at Wei Qianqian and asked:
"Are you waiting for me here?"

"I'll...come with you."

She didn't know why, but ever since she learned from her cousin that the sister in front of her was actually a crazy beauty, she had been a little timid.

Even if Lu Yao is...

"Okay, Sister Li, I'll take her to the car to get some clothes to change into."

"Well, get a thicker one. Yours is facing the air outlet."

"okay."

Wang Tianshu agreed, and together with Wei Qianqian who waved to Lu Yao, they walked towards the cars outside the bar entrance.

As soon as the two of them left, Lu Yao looked at Hu Li.

Hu Li was actually looking at him too.

"You two have a good relationship?"

This is what Hu Li asked.

And Lu Yao also asked:

"Sister Li knows her cousin?"

Hu Li shook his head:

"I don't remember... the girl was pretty."

Obviously, the class beauty's deliberately low-key dress today still did not escape her eyes.

"Yes, she's the campus belle of our school. At least the senior students think so."

"You think so too?"

Hu Li smiled, and her charm began to spread.

Lu Yao nodded:
"Yeah. She is indeed the prettiest in the entire senior year. But in order to save my life, I don't think she is as pretty as Sister Li."

"Uh……"

Hu Li was stunned for a moment, then patted him lightly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"Slippery!"

She didn't take it too seriously and didn't intend to ask any life-threatening questions.

Why should I make things difficult for this boy?

Moreover, her attention was not on these questions, but she asked with interest:
"What song are you going to sing later?"

"Hmm... I don't know. I'm just worried about whether I can sing well or not."

"Don't worry, I'll applaud you even if you're off-tune."

“…I’m even more nervous.”

"Hehehehe~"

……

Wang Tianshu’s car was actually not far away, it was a white Audi A4.

He has two sets of clothes in his car, which he changes into when he exercises or needs to change clothes for different occasions.

After giving the clothes to her cousin, Wei Qianqian put on the sports jacket directly.

In fact, she wasn't cold. The weather in Shanghai was not cold at all. But who let her cousin make this excuse?

After she put on her coat, she found that her cousin was looking at the door. She glanced at him and saw the crazy sister's beautiful smile.

To be honest, this sister has a really great temperament. She is one of the most elegant people she has ever seen.

Too bad it's a crazy batch.

After retracting her gaze, she looked at her cousin again.

After thinking for a while, she squatted down and said to her cousin:

"Do you really want to get close to that sister?"

"think."

Wang Tianshu nodded without any concealment:

"She can speak a word, which is at least equivalent to five years of hard work for me."

Wei Qianqian rolled her eyes:

"My uncle wanted you to do research, but you... went further and further astray. If he knew about this, he would definitely break your legs."

"..."

Wang Tianshu was somewhat speechless. He lowered his head to look at the girl he had watched grow up, and shook his head:

"You are still young..."

"Oh, right, right. Then you should try to build a relationship with that sister. It would be great if she would like you."

"..."

Wang Tianshu's mouth twitched.

"You stupid girl, can't you say something nice?!"

"I'm not wrong. You look like you want to marry into the family."

"..."

Wang Tianshu was even more speechless.

but……

He looked at Hu Li again.

Hu Li raised a few fingers and said something to Lu Yao.

After watching for two seconds, he sighed helplessly:
"I don't want to, and I don't dare."

"Cut~"

Wei Qianqian became more speechless.

But he was kicked by his cousin:
"Okay, let's go now."

……

The four people came back together, Hu Li and Wang Tianshu in front, Lu Yao and Wei Qianqian behind.

"You didn't drink?"

"No, have you been drinking?"

"No. I have to drive soon."

"Do you have a driver's license?"

"Yes, I have."

“I was just thinking about going to learn.”

"Then how are you and your cousin going to get back later?"

"Just find a designated driver. I'm so sleepy... He insisted on dragging me to watch the game. I don't understand it, do you understand it?"

"Believe me, no one knows football better than me."

"…Why is the sentence structure so strange?"

"Then I'll switch to English..."

“…It’s even stranger.”

The two of them talked and laughed until they reached the booth before separating.

And the singer who was described as "noisy" by Hu Li finally left.

As soon as Hu Li sat down, Brother Yu started to complain that she was missing a glass of wine. The happy Queen Hai also accepted all the drinks, while Lu Yao sat on the sofa and continued to stare at the big screen.

In the second half... Mexico, you have to perform well.

My life and property are in your hands.

Soon, the game started again.

And the facts have proved that Mexico is indeed doing well.

In the 63rd minute, they scored a goal.

1 is better than 0!

In the 76th minute, a player was tripped by a French player. The commentator thought it was a dive, but the referee resolutely awarded a penalty.

Well done, godfather!

2 is better than 0!

"!"

Lu Yao clenched his fists instantly.

I couldn't feel anything when my nails dug into my flesh.

His excited expression was in stark contrast to that of other French fans.

But he couldn't do anything about it. When watching the Mexican players park the bus in their own half of the field under the "commentary's advice", Lu Yao's attention was completely focused on the passing of time.

80 minutes…

85 minutes…

90 minutes…

2 minutes of stoppage time...

92 minutes later, when the final whistle sounded, accompanied by the commentator's voice of "Mexico beat France 2-0, unexpectedly", he looked like someone had been pulled out of hot water, with sweat on his forehead and back.

Leaning on the sofa, he let out a long breath...

Sixty-five thousand, odds of 3.5.

22.75 million.

After deducting 20% ​​tax, the amount he can receive is 18.2!
18.2... If my bonus can be 30, then... it will be yuan short of Lu Qing’s two years’ tuition.

And this year's champion is Spain!
Even if the odds are low, 20,000 yuan shouldn't be difficult!

Become!

I've done it!
At this moment, he suddenly felt exhausted.

At this time, Hu Li turned her head and saw him "collapsed" on the sofa.

He leaned closer and asked:

"Sleepy?"

"No."

Lu Yao jumped up directly from the sofa.

困？
How could I be sleepy!
He is in a very good mood at the moment.

Hu Li tilted his head, thinking he was a little strange.

But he didn't think much about it, because this would mean the end of the game and it was time for Lu Yao to "fulfill" his promise.

"I want to listen to music."

She said with a smile.

Lu Yao thought to himself, listen!
Listen to whatever you want!
The money is in place!
I can sing for you all night today.

He was in a good mood and nodded.
"Okay, I'll go straight up?"

"…So brave?"

Hu Li was a little surprised.

Obviously, at this moment... this inexplicably yet spirited Lu Yao is... different from the boy she knows.

But inexplicably, she also began to look forward to it.

You’re so confident... you must be good at it, right?
So, she smiled and nodded, and said to Brother Yu next to her:

"My brother wants to sing a song."

Brother Yu was stunned, glanced at Lu Yao, and said with a smile:

"Sing, brother. Whatever you want to sing, I'll ask them to find an accompaniment for you."

After all, it’s my own bar, and there are distinguished guests.

Do whatever you want.

But Lu Yao shook his head:
"No, I'll play it myself."

"Oh? ... Then go ahead. I'll ask them to turn on the microphone for you. Do you want to host?"

"no, I'm fine."

Lu Yao waved his hand, stood up under Hu Li's expectant gaze, and walked straight towards the stage.

Naturally, his movements were also seen by Wei Qianqian.

At first she didn't think much about it and thought Lu Yao was going to the bathroom, until... she saw Lu Yao standing on the small stage of the bar.

At this moment, the bar band had heard the boss's instructions. It was probably Brother Yu who told them about the situation and asked them to go up and help. But before they arrived, Lu Yao, who had just stepped onto the stage, picked up the guitar on the instrument stand.

He did not choose an electric guitar, but a folk guitar. He did not even look for a pick. After slinging the guitar, he gently plucked the guitar with his fingers, and a melody like flowing water rang out.

The other guests in the bar also looked over.

To be honest, it's quite abrupt.

A very young-faced "kid" wearing an NBA uniform and sitting in front of a microphone with a guitar slung over his shoulder, the picture looks a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

but……

The lights on the small stage also lit up.

This means... this person wants to sing.

Lu Yao tested the tone and adjusted the timbre of his guitar. Then, his light cough was heard in the bar.

"Cough cough."

The sound of coughing also came from the speakers.

Everything is OK.

He glanced over at the booth.

I noticed that everyone was looking over here.

So he nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and then swept his fingers around.

A clear and rapid melody sounded.

Hu Li, who was sitting in the booth, was stunned.

To be honest, although Lu Yao said that he could play the guitar, she didn't know his exact level.

But... when this melody that started with a sweep sounded, she was sure... that this boy's guitar skills were at least not low.

However, she didn't recognize what song it was.

In fact, Lu Yao did not sing directly, but used this short melody to familiarize himself with the guitar.

After he was almost familiar with it, he raised his head and began to pluck the strings with his hands.

The soothing melody began to unfold bit by bit.

Under the lights, the boy was wearing an inappropriate jersey, his face was clean, and he looked not nervous. He spoke calmly:
"Give me some space~"

"No one has walked by..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was like the sound of a flowing spring, gurgling, crisp and clean.

Chyi Chin, The Original Me.

This is the name of the song.

The boy's clean and clear voice, and the just right degree of richness, give the whole song another level of texture.

"Feeling left out..."

"Wow."

Several female audience members sitting on the edge of the stage had already let out low moans subconsciously.

Apparently, this... singer.

This song.

This kind of voice...gave them a completely new feeling.

Some people even whispered to their companions during the singing:
"Hey, his voice is similar to Chen Chusheng's."

"listen well."

"Yeah yeah……"

But the whispers soon died down.

Because... at this moment, what they need more is to concentrate on enjoying this solo guitar performance, playing and singing by themselves.

"Give me some time~"

"No one has ever loved~"

"Experience loneliness once again."

The ethereal, clear, clean, and gentle voice slowly fades away with the lyrics, and with the melody of the guitar, it enters the chorus:

"We once loved each other but we have to break up. Why can't we stay together after loving each other? Why..."

"If I had known this would happen, why would I have started it? The price of breaking up is indifference..."

"Since you said you loved me deeply, why did you leave me and forget our vows..."

"If I had known this would happen, why would I have started? I am still the same me~~~~"

The gentle singing reaches this point, marking the end of the first chorus.

"Crash la la la..."

Below the stage, a table of girls who felt the charm of the "singer" at a closer distance couldn't help but applaud.

While playing, Lu Yao looked down at them and gave them a polite smile to express his gratitude.

And it was this smile that made a girl couldn't help but shout:

“Sounds good~~~~~~”

"Hah~Thank you."

Lu Yao thanked him again.

Then he looked towards Hu Li.

Unfortunately, the lighting on the main stage was a bit blinding, and he could only make out a rough outline.

In the outline, Hu Li crossed his legs and bent over at some point.

The pose of resting the chin on one hand.

like a statue.

He seemed to be listening attentively.

So Lu Yao sang again along with the melody.

"Give me some time..."

What he didn't see was...

Hai Hou, with her chin supported by one hand, had his appearance reflected in her eyes at this moment.

The body is like a boat.

Swaying slightly in the ocean nurtured by guitar and singing.

Go with the flow.

Let this tenderness overwhelm you.
