Start with a pop song

Chapter 21 Bar
Near Central Music.

Four young men were sitting on stools around a table at the food stall, with two dozen beers beside them.

There was a pile of freshly-arrived barbecue on the table.

"Would you like a big kidney?"

"I don't think he'll need this!"

"Fuck, don't think you can just stab me just because I'm angry. Maybe I'm still hurt by love now."

"It's a shame. Now there are a lot of pretty girls who are interested in him. Many people asked me for his contact information!"

Several roommates were joking and laughing.

Song Dao was speechless.

He was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled low on his head, as he didn't want to be recognized.

After all, this place is very close to the Central Conservatory of Music, and it’s not a holiday yet, so almost all the people who come here to eat are students.

In fact, some people may have recognized him and are looking over here frequently.

"You two should be careful. We haven't been together for a long time. Don't let a bunch of junior high school girls come and find us and disturb us from drinking, and look at us with jealous eyes!"

Kang Peng, who had invited Song Dao out, said with a smile and scolding.

He is the oldest among them and is a native of Beijing.

He has a good relationship with the original owner, but he can't stand the original owner's flattering behavior in front of Miao Xiu.

It's just that adults have their own choices, so he can't say too much. Now that the two have finally broken up, Song Dao has unexpectedly become famous. Among the brothers in the dormitory, he is the happiest.

Song Dao raised his glass and said softly, "Thank you for thinking of me. I won't say much. Come on, let's go!"

In fact, emotionally speaking, he has no feelings for these roommates.

After all, he only has the original owner's memories.

Just like towards Miao Xiu, it is only disgust and aversion from a third-party perspective, it is hard to say how much hatred there is.

But after all, he is my roommate and I can’t avoid him forever.

Even if they had not exposed the information online before and spoke up for him, if they had never had any contact with him, it would be easy for people to feel that this guy had turned his back on people after he became famous.

With the original owner's complete memories, there was no difficulty in communicating with these people.

The first good meal he had after coming into this world was at Yan Yu's house, but the first satisfying drink he had was here.

Now that the pressure of survival has been basically resolved, Song Dao feels more relaxed.

It's also nice to have a drink and relax.

……

Song Dao was indeed recognized, after all, he has been so popular in the Central Conservatory of Music recently.

Kong Xi is famous, but he only has one representative work.

However, in just over half a month, he released two songs of very good quality.

Even many teachers at the Central Conservatory of Music could not help but sigh in class that love is a catalyst for creation, and heartbreak is even more so.

Most college students are relatively thin-skinned.

But it does not include those who study art.

Who wouldn’t want to get to know a senior with strong creative abilities?
If the relationship is good and I can get a song from Song here, maybe I will become rich from then on.

So when the four of them had been drinking for a while and were just getting into the mood, people started coming over to greet Song Dao.

Song Dao politely responded to the call, but he declined all requests to add carrier pigeons.

What are you afraid of?

Kang Peng and his friends also felt a little annoyed, so they simply ended the meeting early.

"Let's go to the bar and have some more drinks. We should stay here for a while. I'm afraid that people will say we're being cool."

Kang Peng stood up to pay the bill, then waved his hand, and a luxury business car parked on the side of the road not far away slowly drove over.

Not to mention Song Dao, the other two, Zhu Xiao and Sun Weiyi, were also slightly stunned when they saw the car.

"Brother Peng, you're going to stop pretending and show your cards now, right?" Zhu Xiao asked as he looked the car up and down.

As we all know, if a family has a commercial vehicle, it is most likely not the first one.

"It's just a domestic commercial vehicle. Who doesn't have a car?" Kang Peng asked several people to get in the car without any concern.

Song Dao didn't really want to go because he was afraid of the noise.

Kang Peng pulled him aside and said, "It's not that noisy there. Zhu Xiao and Weiyi are going back to their hometown in a few days. It's not easy for us brothers to get together again. I feel like you didn't drink enough tonight. Let's go drink some more."

"The one from two days ago?" Sun Weiyi asked from the side.

Kang Peng nodded.

Sun Weiyi looked at Song Dao and persuaded him, "Go ahead, brother Dao, there is a surprise there!"

Song Dao couldn't refuse anymore and followed him over.

Kang Peng walked to the co-pilot seat, and Sun Weiyi took the initiative to sit in the back, leaving the two middle seats for Zhu Xiao and Song Dao.

"These two older boys are so sensible!" Zhu Xiao laughed and raised his chin to signal Song Dao to go first.

Kang Peng, who was standing at the passenger door, frowned slightly but said nothing.

Wait until the electronic door is closed and signal the designated driver to drive.

Anyway, after today, everyone will separate, so as long as there is no problem with Song coming here, it's fine.

There may be some minor problems inside any dormitory, and many people say that girls' dormitories are more serious.

Almost the same, actually.

It’s just that boys feel it’s embarrassing to tell others about these things, so they are too lazy to say more.

For four people like these, a lot of problems can be seen in just one meal.

For example, at the beginning, when Sun Weiyi teased Song Dao about whether he wanted a big kidney, Zhu Xiao's answer was a bit hurtful, and there was a hint of jealousy in his tone.

For example, just now, Kang Peng took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat, which was a kind of respect for his friend.

The same applies to Sun Weiyi, the youngest student, who sits in the relatively less spacious back seat.

If Zhu Xiao was sensible, he should get on the bus first and leave the nearest seat for Song Dao.

After all, this dinner was organized in the name of "congratulating" Song Dao on returning to being single (and not being a bootlicker).

The topic of the whole night revolved around him.

Song Dao is naturally the guest of honor at tonight's dinner.

As a result, Zhu Xiao was careless and kept the convenience for himself.

Song Dao is not stupid.

He felt Kang Peng's generosity and courtesy, as well as Sun Weiyi's proactive humility.

Zhu Xiao said congratulations, but in his heart he was disdainful and a little envious and jealous. He knew it more clearly.

Although no one said who posted the message tonight, Song had already guessed it by now.

It must be Kang Peng!
As for Zhu Xiao, he was considered a good person because he didn't secretly laugh at the original owner when they broke up.

He doesn't care.

Even if Kang Peng is in Beijing, unless he is also engaged in a related industry, there is a high probability that he will drift away in the future.

"Brother Dao, the bar we're going to later is awesome!" Sun Weiyi said with a smile, sitting behind Song Dao.

Kang Peng, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, laughed and scolded: "Shut your stinky mouth, I still want to give you a surprise..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xiao lazily added: "Can't you guess it if you don't mention Song Dao? Isn't it just that someone sang two of his songs in that bar?" Kang Peng stopped talking immediately, and Sun Weiyi was also a little embarrassed, regretting why he had to start with that.

Only Zhu Xiao continued to speak nonchalantly, "Song Dao is indeed famous, but this has nothing to do with us. His fame is his business. Can he bring us along with him?"

Kang Peng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened his mouth slightly but ultimately said nothing. Sun Weiyi, who was sitting in the back seat, could only laugh twice, a little awkwardly.

Zhu Xiao looked at Song Dao: "Am I right, Brother Dao?"

Song Dao smiled: "Yes."

……

The four of them then walked to the bar in silence.

After getting off the car, Kang Peng seemed to have fallen asleep. He rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"Let's go and have our farewell drink!"

Sun Weiyi said, "I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight. We'll meet again next time, but I don't know when that will be."

Zhu Xiao sobered up a little after being blown by the wind, and probably realized that what he had said before was a bit unpleasant.

Then he said, "Let's see who gets married first. If it's me, you have to come and support me. You have to go on stage and sing a song!"

"Whether I have time by then is another matter. Even if I can go, I can forget about singing on stage..." Kang Peng said with a smile, "Maybe by then one of his songs could be worth hundreds of thousands. How can I just say it casually?"

Zhu Xiao's eyes widened: "Are you kidding?"

Kang Peng just chuckled and didn't say anything else.

At this point, Song began to look at Kang Peng in a different light. This fellow who was born and raised in Beijing was a sober and intelligent man.

As several people were walking in, a familiar figure in the darkness not far away suddenly caught Song Dao's attention.

"You guys go in first. I'll go buy some things nearby. Brother Peng will send me the location later." Song Dao said, and walked straight to the supermarket nearby.

Kang Peng and his friends didn't take it seriously and walked into the bar.

Song went into the supermarket and bought a bottle of water. After coming out, he opened the bottle cap, gulped down two gulps, and slowly walked over there.

When I got closer, I saw that there was another person standing under an old tree about four or five meters away.

The trees were thick enough to just block his figure, and the street lights were dim in that place, so the two people over there didn't notice him.

"Hu Wei, is this interesting to you?"

"You're even more boring this way." Hu Wei's magnetic, hoarse voice sounded.

"We haven't done it for two years. Don't you miss me?" There was no one around, so the woman spoke without restraint.

Song Dao was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, is this what I should listen to?
He originally saw Hu Wei standing here smoking, thought it was a coincidence, and wanted to come over and say hello.

As a result, I heard such an explosive topic.

Feeling a little embarrassed, I was about to turn around and leave, when I heard Hu Wei's angry voice again.

"Zhang Qian, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

"Tsk, why are you pretending? Do you think I don't know what your working environment is like?"

The woman said with disdain, “Don’t pretend to be a gentleman. You sing here, and there are always little bitches throwing themselves at you every day, right?
So you rejected me, but actually you don’t need anything, right?
But how can those compare to me?

My fiancé is the vice president of Xingchen Films. You know Xingchen Films, right? It's a listed company, and he has shares in it.

Don't you want to try a noble rich woman?"

"Zhang Qian, have you drunk too much? Go back quickly, I have a performance soon..." Hu Wei said patiently.

"Hahaha, performance, really interesting. When did singing in a bar become so high-sounding? To be honest, Hu Wei, I'm quite surprised that you actually went to a bar to sing, and have been singing for more than two years. What, your dream of music hasn't been shattered yet?"

Perhaps because of being rejected repeatedly, the woman was a little annoyed.

He sneered in a sarcastic tone.

"I can perform on a big stage or a small theater. My dream of music is always there."

Hu Wei's voice was a little low: "Also, Zhang Qian, if you still remember the past feelings, please respect me, yourself and the man you are talking about marrying!"

"Ha! You're getting more and more outrageous. What do you care about me?" Zhang Qian's voice became a little sharp. "You don't sleep with women? Why are you pretending to be so noble?"

"I sleep with you, but I'm single! And I never play around. You're getting married soon, Zhang Qian..."

"Hahaha, this is fucking hilarious. A talented singer from the Central Conservatory of Music who goes to a bar to sing is giving me a lesson here?"

Zhang Qian interrupted Hu Wei and sneered, "Alright, you're useless even if I give you a chance, get lost.

Remember, I am the most high-ranking woman you have ever slept with in your life!
People like you will never be able to eat four dishes in your entire life!
Go and sell your songs!

Useless stuff! "

After saying that, he left and walked towards a valuable imported sports car parked on the side of the road.

"Don't drive under the influence..." Hu Wei chased after him.

"I want you to take care of it?"

After a pause, Zhang Qian turned around, looked at Hu Wei and sneered, "I didn't drink at all! I was just pretending with you just now, but it's a pity that you are such a loser!"

Bang!

hum!
The sports car drove away.

Hu Wei stood on the side of the road somewhat desolately. After a long while, he let out a long sigh and took out a cigarette and lit it.

He shook his head and turned to walk towards the bar.

You know what, this guy is pretty good!
At least in terms of character, it's really okay.

Song Dao watched Hu Wei's back as he walked into the bar through the side door, then he walked in through the main door carrying the bottle of water.

……

on the stage.

Hu Wei is singing the song "See Through Love, See Through You".

Then he sang Sad City.

The hoarse voice and extremely rich emotions performed these two songs to the fullest.

There was constant applause, cheers and whistles from the audience.

Some people even sent flower baskets to the stage.

"How's it going, brother? Are you awesome?" Kang Peng asked with a smile.

"I feel like this guy performed really well tonight! I saw some people were even moved to tears by his singing!" said Sun Weiyi.

"When we came here a few days ago, he didn't seem to perform as well as he did tonight, right?" Zhu Xiao said, looking at Song Dao, "I feel like he is more emotional than you!"

Song Dao smiled and didn't care.

I just got severely humiliated and stabbed by my ex-girlfriend. It would be strange if I didn't feel very emotional.

He had never thought that the bar Kang Peng brought him to was actually where Hu Wei sang.

This senior had sent him the location of the bar before, but he didn't even look at the English name carefully.

If I hadn't just met him outside, I would have no idea that this was where Hu Wei was performing even if I had come in.

"We came here a few days ago. This guy seems to be a senior who graduated from our school. He has a very recognizable voice and is the mainstay of this bar! It's a pity that he doesn't have the creative talent like you, Brother Dao, otherwise he would have a chance to become famous." Kang Peng picked up a glass of foreign liquor with ice cubes and gestured to Song Dao with a smile.

Zhu Xiao said at the side: "I think that Dao Ge has more luck involved, but he is also talented. Come, let's toast to Dao Ge. I wish you can earn hundreds of thousands per song in the future!"

Sun Weiyi also raised his cup and said, "Cheers to our tomorrow's first-line!"

Song Dao picked up the wine glass.

Hundreds of thousands?
First line?
Who do you scold?
