Huayu 2007, Cultivation Superstar

Chapter 2 We Two Crazy People
……

[System prompt: Please urge the other party to start a performance as soon as possible]

[Reward: Unknown]

……

Because she ate too much outside, Reba had no appetite at all at the moment.

But in order to avoid being scolded by her mother, she still forced herself to eat dinner.

After eating, she rubbed her bulging belly and hurried back to her room to lie on the bed, fearing that she would vomit.

However, her eyes were always fixed on the upper left corner.

Because, a line of virtual small words appeared there.

Even if she closed her eyes, this line of virtual small words still remained on her retina.

It's just driving me crazy with obsessive compulsive disorder.

There was no other way, she could only trick Lu Feng into going out and singing a song to complete the task.

"Lu Feng, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."

On the way back, the two added each other's contact information, but there was no WeChat in that era, and mobile QQ was difficult to use, so they could only communicate by text messages.

"I'm already asleep. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."

It's only 11 o'clock in the evening, it's just getting dark, and you want to go to bed?
Is this the daily routine of young people?

Reba hesitated for a moment and sent another text message: "We can talk about it tomorrow morning. What time do you get up? I'll wait for you downstairs."

"I usually get up at 7 o'clock. You wait for me downstairs. Tomorrow morning, I will treat you to [soup and rice]. I heard there is a place on Hotan Street that is particularly delicious."

In his senior year of high school, which just ended, Lu Feng gets up at 6 o'clock every day. His daily routine is very regular, and he only sleeps in for an hour during the summer vacation.

"Get up at 7 o'clock... Treat me to soup and rice? Okay, I'll definitely come."

Seeing that Lu Feng was going to get up at 7 o'clock, Reba was stunned for a moment and wanted to refuse without hesitation.

Because 7 o'clock in the morning here is equivalent to 4 o'clock in the morning in the mainland. In her eyes, Lu Feng is a complete lunatic for getting up at this time.

But thinking about the deliciousness of the [soup rice], she decided to go crazy with Lu Feng for once.

The soup rice here is completely different from the soup rice in Jiangsu and Zhejiang... When Lu Feng ordered it for the first time, he thought it was the kind of rice soaked in clear soup. After it was served, he was shocked.

A bowl of soup and rice came up, which contained mutton slices, tofu slices, and some miscellaneous vegetables. It tasted sour and spicy, and was quite appetizing in the summer.

After eating it once, he became a little addicted.

……

the next morning.

As the sky was getting light, Lu Feng couldn't help but get up.

The first thing to do when you wake up is to check your system.

"Today is a good day. There are no messy tasks. I can relax and have fun all day."

In fact, even if there was a task, Lu Feng could ignore it, but there was no way. Seeing the line of small words swaying in front of his eyes, he couldn't help it.

The most important thing is that this broken system will make a beeping sound every hour, reminding him to complete the task quickly.

It's annoying.

After washing up, Lu Feng looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help feeling proud.

——Look at my thick hair and handsome cheeks. I have some taste in acting.

It’s great to be 18. You’re so handsome that I don’t even recognize myself.

Lu Feng is willing to give an A-level rating to his face.

"I will always remember the summer wind..."

Humming a tune, Lu Feng went downstairs and soon saw Reba, who looked haggard and yawning.

Seeing Reba's face, Lu Feng couldn't help but joked: "Were you so excited that you couldn't sleep all night because you heard I was treating you to soup and rice?"

Reba rubbed her face, glanced at Lu Feng's back, and couldn't help asking: "Lu Feng, where is your guitar? Why don't you carry it on your back?"

How can you perform without a guitar?

How can I do my job if you don't complete the performance?
I can’t finish the tasks, and that broken system keeps beeping every hour. How can I sleep?

I'm only 15 years old. Am I going to be driven crazy?

"I'm going to have breakfast, why should I carry my guitar?"

Lu Feng was speechless.

If I do this, people will think I'm crazy.

"Aka, you look so handsome carrying a guitar. Please, can you carry the guitar? And I can help you carry the speakers. Let's continue singing at the Grand Bazaar today, okay?"

In order to complete the task, Reba had no choice but to compromise, sell her soul, and called out "Aka" crisply.

"Firstly, today is my day off and I don't plan on going out to sing. Secondly, I haven't changed my guitar strings in a while. When I played yesterday, the tone wasn't right, and my hands hurt a little."

When playing yesterday, Lu Feng felt that the tone and feel were not right, and it almost gave him an obsessive-compulsive disorder attack.

"Aka, I'll pay for you to change the strings."

"It's useless even if you pay. I'm not familiar with this place and don't know where to get the money."

No matter how Reba acted coquettishly, Lu Feng really didn't want to go out for breakfast with his guitar on his back.

The disabled system's tasks are basically refreshed once a week, and he has already completed this week's tasks.

With 6 days left, he can take it easy.

There's no need to push yourself, right?

If I keep doing this, wouldn’t it be like I’m doing tasks every day?
What else is fun in life?
I am the one who is gaming the system. I cannot let the system gaming me.

"Aka, I know where I can change the strings. I'll take you there."

But Reba obviously doesn't think so.

Because her task has not been completed yet, the system is still torturing her, causing her obsessive-compulsive disorder to erupt at any time.

Seeing that Lu Feng was still indifferent, Reba could only act more coquettishly, with a wronged look on her face: "Aka, please...at worst, I'll treat you to a cheese bun."

Although the cheese buns are delicious, Lu Feng is not a child.

He curled his lips and said nonchalantly, "Do you think I'm you, a greedy old man? I'm not interested in cheese buns."

Don’t like food?
Then you must like beautiful women.

Reba suddenly had an idea and said, "Aka, how about this? You go to the Grand Bazaar and sing. I'll introduce my senior from the Art Academy to come and listen to you sing. Let's show off your charm. Who knows, maybe you can find a beautiful love?"

"I'm glad you're so considerate of Aka. But there's no need. Aka doesn't like long-distance relationships."

I'm going to Shanghai to study soon. What's the point of finding a girlfriend here?

Lu Feng was very pleased with Reba's understanding, but he refused without hesitation.

At this time, his phone rang.

Lu Feng glanced at the caller ID, made a shushing gesture to Reba, picked up the phone, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Qin, you got up so early today."

"My mom will take me shopping later. By the way, Brother Lu Feng, has your acceptance letter arrived?"

There was a crisp voice on the other end of the phone, which sounded very gentle.

"I received it a couple of days ago. It's also a school in the Magic City."

"A school in the Magic City? Could it be the Magic City Conservatory of Music? You told me before that you wanted to apply to the music conservatory. Congratulations, you finally made your dream come true."

The person on the other end of the phone was Li Xiaoqin.

She is currently studying at a Chinese opera academy. If nothing unexpected happens, she will enter the entertainment industry next year and play the young Xue Baochai in the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

During the winter vacation, Lu Feng went to his grandmother's home in Kunshan to celebrate the New Year. He accidentally discovered that Li Xiaoqin's home was just across the street from his grandmother's home.

Li Xiaoqin's father and Lu Feng's mother have known each other since childhood and were classmates in junior high school.

So, after a winter vacation, the two of them became very familiar with each other.

"Xiao Qin, it's not a music school. From now on, I will study at the same school as you. When you register in September, remember to come to the school gate to help me pick up my things. I brought you a gift."

Although Shanghai Theatre Academy and the Shanghai Academy of Chinese Opera are a university and a technical secondary school respectively, their campuses are in the same place.

Similar to Beijing Dance Academy and Beijing Dance Academy Affiliated High School.

"Ah? You're also going to the Chinese Opera Academy? No, the Shanghai Theatre Academy! Why are you here? How did you get in? You're amazing."

Li Xiaoqin on the other end of the phone was obviously very happy and her speech was a little incoherent.

I study alone in another city. Although the school is good and I have good relationships with my classmates, I can’t help but miss home sometimes.

Meeting a fellow villager, or even a next-door neighbor, and studying in the same school together, is something that makes one excited just thinking about it.

"Brother Lu Feng, I suddenly admire you very much."

"Xiao Qin, I admire you too. Not everyone can be the fifth generation Du Liniang. You have to be beautiful, have an outstanding temperament, and be extremely skilled. You are the best girl I know."

Li Xiaoqin was a little shy when Lu Feng praised her. She said in a delicate voice, "My mother called me. I won't talk to you anymore." Then she hung up the phone.

"Reba, are you hungry? Come on, Aka will treat you to some soup and rice. A good day starts with a nutritious breakfast."

Turning around, Lu Feng saw Reba's depressed face and thought she was hungry.

Reba followed Lu Feng, sighed slowly, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

"No wonder Lu Feng isn't interested in the senior from our school. It turns out he has a girlfriend, and she's the fifth generation Du Liniang."

Although she didn't know what the fifth generation of Du Liniang represented, Reba had heard of the story of "Du Liniang Sinking the Treasure Box in Anger".

The Xiao Qin that Lu Feng mentioned must be very beautiful.

When I called just now, her voice was sweet and she spoke slowly and gently.

Reba almost imagined a beautiful girl from Jiangnan who wore a green gauze dress, was gentle and quiet, smiled at people, and had two dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"Delicious food and beautiful women have no effect on him."

"So, how am I supposed to trick him into completing the show? It's such a headache."

"Lu Feng is such a stubborn guy. He's driving me crazy!"

"Ahhhh! I really want to force him with a knife!"

Reba gradually went crazy and was about to explode.

……

"The soup and rice here are really delicious, and they live up to their reputation."

Maybe it was because of the 3000-kilometer filter that Lu Feng had been looking at, but after living here for a month, he ate a lot of local delicacies. Except for the extremely spicy ones, which he declined, all other foods were delicious.

In one month, he gained several pounds.

However, when he turned around, he found that Reba was distracted and had not eaten much.

"Reba, you seem a little strange today. Why can't you eat? Is something bothering you? Why don't you talk to Aka?"

"You're at the age of puberty, right in the budding stage. Is there a boy you like, but he's fallen in love with someone else? Otherwise, how could you be so unable to eat or sleep?"

"Tell Aka about your love story. As someone who's been through it, Aka can help you analyze the situation."

Reba definitely didn’t have a premature love relationship, because teacher Murati was very strict.

Apart from dancing, all she does is eat.

Lu Feng was just teasing her on purpose.

"Who said I can't eat? Besides, you've just reached puberty. That girl named Xiaoqin, you smiled so happily when you received her call. You must like her."

Reba knew that Lu Feng was teasing her, so she retorted a few words in annoyance.

However, the soup rice is still delicious.

Reba likes to eat this very much.

Today, she was indeed worried.

This concern is indeed about a boy.

However, it has nothing to do with youthful excitement or anything like that, nor is it a sweet love story...

Looking up at Lu Feng, Reba felt really depressed. What should she do to get this guy to perform?
Reba herself couldn't think of any good solution.

However, she had a sudden inspiration and thought of her support group.

While Lu Feng was wandering around, Reba quickly sent a message to Teacher Murati: "Dad, as a singer, what kind of situation would make you want to sing so badly? The kind that makes you have to go?"

"It's very simple. Just tell me that someone sings the same song as me, but sings it better than me. I absolutely can't stand it!"

Teacher Murati was very helpful and gave the answer in a few seconds.

Exciting general method.

Dad is awesome!

It works as soon as you hear it.

After receiving the answer from Teacher Murati, Reba suddenly became confident and felt that the soup and rice in the bowl this morning was particularly delicious.

"My dear daughter, why are you suddenly asking me this question? Is there something wrong with you? Last night, I made you a table full of delicious food, but you had no appetite."

There was indeed something wrong with Reba's condition in the past two days, which made Teacher Murati a little worried.

"Dad, I'm fine. I won't say anymore."

Seeing Lu Feng with his hands in his pockets, as if he was going home to play games, Reba suddenly became anxious and replied to the text message very quickly.

When Teacher Mulati received this text message, his eyes widened and he stared at the phone screen for a long time, becoming more and more worried.

When you chat with your dad, you used to send a full 70-character text message, but now you only send a few words? And you even said to me, "I won't talk anymore"... Are you okay?

Things are getting serious!
I must ask clearly when I get home tonight!
……

"Lu Feng..."

"What's the matter? Are you hungry?"

Reba caught up with him, and her hesitant expression made Lu Feng think of something and look surprised.

It’s such a big portion, I’m almost full, don’t tell me you’re not full.

"certainly not!"

Reba glared at Lu Feng and was speechless.

The image of me in your mind is just a greedy old man?

When I suddenly heard this unfamiliar word yesterday, Reba became curious and went back to look it up on the computer to find out what it meant.

It turns out to be a unified dialect in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, which describes a person who is greedy and has a long mouth.

All I can say is that this word struck her soul directly. It was such an apt description that it made Reba helpless and furious all night long.

However, now is not the time to worry about this.

Reba pretended to be very angry and said, "Lu Feng, I just received news that the song "Why Not" you sang at the Grand Bazaar yesterday has been pirated. Someone sang the same song as you, and sang it better than you, which caused a lot of applause and made a lot of money."

"What? Better than mine... Impossible, I don't believe it, you must be lying to me!"

Although, in another time and space, Lu Feng did not do very well after graduating from the music conservatory, he was at least a professional.

He always felt that it was because of his bad luck and the relatively poor environment of the Chinese music scene that he failed to make it.

But he would never admit that he was just not good enough.

"Lu Feng..."

"Don't try to persuade me. Now, come back with me to get my guitar! Oh, and tell me where the guitar store is. I need to change my guitar strings. It must be the bad strings yesterday that affected my performance. Today, I want to show them how amazing I am when I give it my all!"

Seeing Lu Feng's fighting spirit, he wanted to run home immediately, take his guitar, rush to the International Grand Bazaar, find the non-existent singer, and fight to the death.

Reba fell behind and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

I thought he was really unmoved, but it turns out that this guy is really obsessed with being an idol.

Thanks to my father for his on-site guidance. Next time I will use provocation to get him to help me complete the task.

……

A few minutes later, Lu Feng put on full armor and hurried downstairs.

Seeing Reba looking nervous and her face flushed, Lu Feng asked her to calm down.

no big deal.

"Reba, don't worry. In this world, when it comes to singing, I'm unbeatable, no matter who's below the king of singing! I absolutely won't allow a nobody to step on me to get to the top!"

"Lu Feng, I believe in you! You look so handsome when you sing. You will become a superstar in the future, just like Jay Chou!"

A future superstar with S+ potential, the system shouldn’t lie!

When Reba said this, she was particularly sincere because she really believed that Lu Feng could do it.

Her powerful words surprised Lu Feng.

I haven't thought about it myself. Even if I copied, not everyone can reach Jay Chou's level. You, girl, really have confidence in me.

At this moment, Lu Feng was a little moved, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Reba suddenly became much warmer.

——You are in for a treat! Tomorrow, Aka will treat you to some cheese buns from Grape Tree!
"Lu Feng, work hard on your singing and surpass Jay Chou!"

"Reba, please keep your voice down. People are looking at us. They think we are crazy."

Two figures, one big and one small, one carrying a guitar and the other holding a speaker, walked together, shouting "surpass Jay Chou", which attracted many people's attention.

……

Street corner, warm wind, Yamaha guitar.

And there was the one who was clamoring to surpass Jay Chou.

This was my summer vacation when I was 18 years old.
