A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

"Master, the money has been transferred to Baiyun Residential Area."

"Ok."

"Lin Zheng, where are you taking me?" Jiang Luoyu felt inexplicably flustered at the thought of suddenly being taken to an unfamiliar place.

“My guitar can do backflips, I’ll take you to see it,” Lin Zheng said, suppressing a laugh.

"Huh? A guitarist can do backflips? You must be kidding me."

Jiang Luoyu, stunned, retorted in disbelief.

However, she also relaxed.

It turned out that Lin Zheng wanted to take her home to see the guitar that does backflips.

Ok?

She suddenly realized something was wrong.

Take her home!?

"Um? If you take me back, what if my aunt and uncle see me...?" she asked timidly.

"Nobody's here. My home is in Sitong County. I'm renting a place to study here," Lin Zheng explained.

"Oh, okay." Jiang Luoyu felt much more relaxed.

However, she, a girl, went to the place where a male classmate lived.

Something feels off.

Most importantly, she had only known this male classmate for four days...

She wanted to refuse, but the words wouldn't come out.

Oh my god! When will I ever get rid of this problem of becoming introverted and timid when I'm nervous?

Chapter 35 Things More Important Than the College Entrance Examination

Baiyun Community is an older demolition area, and the rebuilt houses range in size from 30 to 40 square meters to over 100 square meters.

Because it's located in a demolition area, there's no property management or anything like that.

Why is there no property management?

There are too many elderly people in the demolition area, and the management fees cannot be collected. Over time, the area has lost its property management.

Therefore, families with the means generally choose to buy commercial housing in other places and then rent out the vacant houses.

The room Lin Zheng rented was forty square meters, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. It was small but had everything he needed.

The monthly rent isn't expensive either, only 600 yuan, which is quite a good deal.

However, a place like Zhang Xuan's, which is 20 square meters and has only one room and one bathroom, costs only 400 yuan, which is even cheaper.

Listening to Lin Zheng describe the housing situation of these out-of-town students, Jiang Luoyu learned some useful information.

Upon entering the house, the first thing you see is a guitar wrapped in a black bag in the corner of the living room sofa.

"Hey, this is the guitar in my house that can do backflips." Lin Zheng pointed to the corner.

Jiang Luoyu's anxious expression suddenly turned to surprise, and she stared at it with curiosity.

"Please sit down. It's been too long since you've played. Let me tune it first."

He took out the guitar and then tuned it according to his limited knowledge.

Jiang Luoyu was extremely curious as she listened to the different timbres produced by the five strings.

She had only seen others play it in videos.

The folk customs, the feeling of poetry and distant places, deeply touched her.

You could say she can't play the guitar and has never even touched one, but she has a natural affinity for it.

She even fantasized that her future boyfriend would play a love song for her on a wooden guitar in the evening breeze, and then they would embrace, and even...

However, it seems that her first embrace was taken away by someone.

Thinking of this, she gave Lin Zheng, who was adjusting the sound, a resentful look.

Clearly, she was finding it hard to let go of the atmosphere from the karaoke room.

After a while, Lin Zheng finished tuning the instrument.

"Okay, you give it a try."

He handed the guitar to Jiang Luoyu.

Jiang Luoyu shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, I can't play. Why don't you play?"

She looked at the boy with a hopeful expression as she spoke.

"Oh... actually, I don't know either," Lin Zheng stammered awkwardly.

As a high school student, he wasn't the kind of student who would go astray. It's just that perhaps his talent wasn't in studying, so he could only score around 450 points. But that doesn't mean he didn't work hard and spent his time eating, drinking, and having fun.

"Huh? What do we do next?" Jiang Luoyu was a little confused. Did the two of them take a taxi back just to watch "the guitar that does backflips"?

The fare is ten yuan! What a waste!

"Ahem~, it's not like I don't know anything at all, wait for me."

Lin Zheng put the guitar on the sofa, turned around and went into his bedroom, where he found a book called "Guitar Self-Study Basic Tutorial".

"After I bought this guitar, I thought I would learn it in my spare time, but it turned out to be too difficult. I didn't even understand the basics."

He said modestly, sat down again, opened the book, and turned to a sheet music piece called "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? Isn't that the nursery rhyme?" Jiang Luoyu smiled instantly upon seeing the song title.

Seeing Lin Zheng nod awkwardly, she felt a stirring of romantic feelings.

How adorable it is for a big boy to play a children's song!

"Tch~, let me show you what I've got!"

After Lin Zheng finished speaking, he began pressing the guitar strings according to the sheet music.

Suddenly, the guitar played a harmonious melody.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are."

Hanging in the sky, shining brightly, it looks like many tiny eyes.

......"

All I can say is that Lin Zheng's singing and playing of the song, which he had practiced for over a year, was quite impressive.

After the piece was finished, Jiang Luoyu clapped lightly to show her approval.

"You played very well. Do you know any other songs?" she asked expectantly.

Nursery rhymes may be interesting, but they are not elegant or artistic enough.

"you guess?"

Lin Zheng smiled and asked a question in return, while turning the book to the sheet music titled "Castle in the Sky".

"You've probably heard this song before, right? It's instrumental, but the full version is too difficult to find. I only know this censored version."

"It's okay, try playing it."

"Ah."

The words stopped, but the sound began.

As a light and melancholic melody lingered in the air, Jiang Luoyu's bright eyes gradually began to shine.

Is this what it feels like to play the guitar?

No, this is the feeling of poetry and distant places!

Lin Zheng, he's so handsome!

"La la la~, la la~ la la~, la la~......"

As Lin Zheng played, he couldn't help but hum softly, becoming even more absorbed in the music.

Hearing the sound he hummed, Jiang Luoyu was even more moved than she could describe.

She could clearly feel waves of warmth welling up inside her, and her feelings for him were rapidly growing stronger.

No artistic woman can resist this feeling of poetry and distant places.

Even after Lin Zheng finished playing, she was still unable to come back to her senses.

I want to learn, I really want to learn!

"Want to give it a try?"

Lin Zheng's voice startled her awake.

"I'd like to give it a try."

Surprisingly, Jiang Luoyu, who was usually introverted and shy, did not refuse. She then added, "But I don't know how..."

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

Lin Zheng was in a great mood as he showcased his talent in front of the girl for the first time.

Why buy a guitar? Why spend time learning on your own?

Is it just self-admiration?

No!

It's for picking up girls!

Isn't this coming in handy today?

"Come on, sit to my left, take this, and then interlock your fingers like this."

Lin Zheng gestured for Jiang Luoyu to sit on his left and picked up his guitar.

At the same time, he stayed close to her, providing hands-on instruction.

"Hey~, this is how you should position your fingers. The first step for beginners is to open up your finger joints."

As he spoke, he reached for Jiang Luoyu's right hand with his right hand.

The moment their skin touched, Jiang Luoyu trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted.

"Huh? Are you alright?" Lin Zheng didn't react immediately; he just looked at Jiang Luoyu with a puzzled expression.

"N-nothing." The girl's face flushed quickly, and her breathing became heavier.

"Relax." Lin Zheng saw her face turn bright red and quickly understood what was wrong.

He smiled and comforted her, then took her hand again.

At this moment, he is the teacher, and she is the student.

He was distracted, but he was also teaching very seriously.

For some reason, the girl's hands were a little cold, but very smooth, especially the areas where there should be fine downy hair, which were white with a rosy tint and no downy hair.

Food grade!

Lin Zheng mentally defined these hands.

"What's next?"

Jiang Luoyu couldn't help but speak up when Lin Zheng held her hand tightly and she didn't move.

"Oh, oh, next you need to make this gesture."

Lin Zheng separated her middle and index fingers and placed them on the 1st and 5th strings.

Ordinary people who haven't been trained can't separate them very well.

Jiang Luoyu was clearly untrained; after she separated her fingers, her two fingers would reflexively close.

"Bear with it, it might hurt a little, but you have to practice like this, otherwise you won't be able to open your fingers when you play."

"Okay, sure." Jiang Luoyu nodded gently, spreading her two fingers as wide as she could.
