Taking advantage of this summer

In the evening, Song Shuyang invited everyone to dinner to celebrate Jin Zhou's birthday.

Almost every year he would feel that it was great that they had spent another year together.

But this birthday was not just for celebrating this incident. Manager Song, who had been blinded by interests, took advantage of the meal to promote the bar's live show this weekend. He also gave away a lot of tickets and invited everyone to bring their friends to support him.

Jiang Ying teased him, "When you graduate and come out, I'll pass my manager position on to you."

Song Shuyang cupped his hands and said, "I dare not."

After drinking for a while, the birthday boy Jin Zhou was surrounded by people. Song Shuyang was afraid of being affected, so she decisively abandoned her husband and hid on the balcony.

Jiang Ying was smoking on the balcony to get some fresh air. When she saw him coming, she was about to put out her cigarette, but Song Shuyang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, it's okay."

"Aren't you coughing because of the smoke?"

"That was all because I was too pampered before. During this time, I was afraid that Jin Zhou would want to cough after hearing me cough, so I endured it and found that, hey, I seem to have become desensitized."

Jiang Ying laughed, "You two are really thoughtful."

The two of them lay side by side on the balcony railing without saying a word. Jiang Ying finished smoking her cigarette and glanced sideways at Song Shuyang. For some reason, she saw a trace of sadness on the face of this always heartless boy.

"You have to look at people's faces at school, right?" she asked.

Song Shuyang didn't intend to hide it from her and nodded.

"I thought I wouldn't care."

I thought that being in a higher education institution, people of all sexual orientations would be accepted.

But he underestimated the destructive power of rumors.

It's true that no one dared to point at him and call him a disgusting homosexual, but it was not a pleasant feeling to be talked about everywhere.

Jiang Ying sighed and placed her hand on his shoulder. "You've really sacrificed a lot this time. I didn't expect you to handle it in such a mature way."

"When the news broke, all I could think about was how to capitalize on the hype and promote the band. I didn't even consider how I would face the real people when I returned to school."

"Don't worry about those people. Fame is a double-edged sword."

"Actually, I just suddenly realized that some things in this world are not as good as you think."

The transition from idealism to realism.

Jiang Ying rubbed his head and said, "Even though you're tired of hearing this, I still want to say it, Yangzi, you've grown up."

"Aren't you going to tell Jin Zhou about this?" she asked again.

Song Shuyang turned his head to look at the people inside. Jin Zhou was squeezed in the crowd and was smiling. He looked very happy.

He also glanced at him and mouthed, "Zaizi."

Song Shuyang was also amused and shook his head, "I can digest it myself."

"If you feel really bad, go talk to your sister. Oh, by the way, I have some good news to tell you. Han Zhuqing is in jail."

"Han Zhuqing? What happened to him?" Song Shuyang asked in surprise.

Jiang Ying held up her chin and said, "He had committed many evil deeds, and his enemies came to his house. Before the enemy could even make a move, he took out a fruit knife and stabbed the enemy in the stomach. Fortunately, the stab was shallow, and the enemy survived. He was sentenced to three years."

"Who is that enemy?"

"I don't know. I heard it from Dongdong. Anyway, he's not very old and he's a man."

Song Shuyang didn't plan to ask any more questions. Some things might be better unknown than known.

After everyone left, Song Shuyang drove Jin Zhou's car to take him home and asked him how the rehearsal went.

Jin Zhou reported to his agent in detail: "There are six original songs and three covers in total. There will be an hour of DJ performance in between, and Jiang Ying and I will each have a solo to give Croissant a rest for his voice."

Song Shuyang has heard all their original songs. Each one of them has the potential to be a hit and sounds very good. It just depends on whether they have the luck to be a hit.

"I think I still need to sign with a professional agency," Song Shuyang offered his opinion. "It might get complicated later on, and it would involve releasing records and taking on business deals. I can't handle that."

Jin Zhou said, "It's okay, you can learn it slowly."

"I'm afraid I can't learn as fast as you guys are becoming popular."

"I'll wait for you," Jin Zhou looked at him intently and affectionately. "Zizi, I don't have any goals or ideals. If you like being a manager, I'll be a singer. If you want to change careers in a few years, I can change with you."

Manager Song criticized: "You are too obsessed with love and have no ambition."

"It's okay as long as you have it." Jin Zhou said with a smile.

He has no ideals at all. He lives for Song Shuyang.

The next day, Song Shuyang received an unexpected news while in class.

The counselor said that the college invited him to participate in the filming of the summer recruitment promotional video.

A prestigious university like Handan University actually doesn't need any recruitment publicity at all. This is a propaganda task assigned by the higher-ups.

After class, Song Shuyang went straight to the counselor's office and asked her why she chose him, as he had a bad reputation in the school.

The counselor said that it was the dean who proposed the name himself, which met with fierce opposition. However, she overcame all objections and insisted on creating a promotional video that was full of inclusiveness and youthful vitality.

"We need to let sexual minorities, disadvantaged groups, and students of all skin colors know that we welcome them and embrace every color in the world."

These are the dean’s exact words.

Even if Song Shuyang had ten brains, he would never have thought that he would turn a disaster into a blessing in disguise and become the representative of the sexual minority group in the promotional video of Han University.

The counselor said that there is actually one more thing. The dean wants to ask if it would be convenient to ask your boyfriend's band to make a song for the promotional video. She is very concerned about this matter and listened to the demo of the new song you released online and thought it was very good.

Of course Song Shuyang agreed readily.

Jin Zhou started writing as soon as he received the notice, and worked through three nights to finish the demo before the premiere on Saturday. The tentative name is "Take Advantage of This Summer". The overall style is light and bright, and it is a song with a youthful feel.

The lyrics were still stuck with the school leaders, who said they were not deep enough and needed to be polished.

It is normal to revise the content several times before submitting it to the superiors. Song Shuyang agreed first and planned to tell Jin Zhou after the performance.

Song Shuyang set up the camera in front of the stage, aimed it at the stage, and prepared to start a simultaneous live broadcast in the evening.

As he was adjusting the camera, he felt someone tapping his right shoulder gently. He turned his head and saw a bright smiling face on his left.

"Xiaobai! Why are you here?"

"How could I miss the band's first performance? I even picked someone up at the airport."

Song Shuyang went to see what was happening.

"Hello~" A tall, bright-looking woman with blond hair and green eyes greeted him.

"You are... Croissant's wife?"

Xiao Bai said: "Yes, she got lost and asked me how to get to Helios Bar, so I brought her here."

This couple is both directionally challenged.

Song Shuyang had always been skeptical about the wife that Croissant described as being 1.8 meters tall, free-spirited and easygoing. For a long time, he suspected that this was a fabrication by him, but he didn't expect it to be true!

Xiaobai pulled her away and said, "I won't disturb you from working. Let's have dinner together after the performance."

"Wait a minute!" Song Shuyang stopped her, "Tell me who you are here for first."

"what……"

Song Shuyang raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "You two have been fighting for almost half a year. Take this opportunity to reconcile."

It wasn't a big conflict in the first place. Now Jiang Ying has reflected deeply on her actions and allowed her to work in another city. They should have reconciled long ago.

Xiaobai blushed and stammered, saying that he would talk about it after it was over.

At eight o'clock, the invited host came on stage to warm up the audience. Song Shuyang looked at the time eight times a minute, fearing that any link would go wrong. He was so nervous that his palms were full of cold sweat.

Jin Zhou pinched his waist and comforted him, "It's okay, the tickets are all sold out, and there are no refunds even if the performance fails."

"Can you please say something auspicious?"

Song Shuyang clenched his fist to hit him, his eyes fell on his abdomen, and his expression suddenly changed.

Jin Zhou hugged himself helplessly, "What do you want to do?"

Manager Song, blinded by greed, pointed at Jin Zhou's clothes and sternly ordered, "Take it off."

Jiang Ying almost spit out the water she had just drunk and laughed at Jin Zhou, "Old Jin, your wife is really amazing!"

Seeing that he didn't move, Song Shuyang took over and said as he was stripping him: "Hurry up and take it off. Once this meat sells, it will be popular. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell tickets next time."

Jin Zhou whimpered and cried, "No, I'm a decent person!"

In the past, Song Shuyang thought it was disgusting that he sold his body. What had he been through? Now he was forced to sell his body.

After stripping the man naked, Song Shuyang looked at his smooth waistline and attractive chest muscles, nodded, and was very satisfied.

It was almost time, so he patted Jin Zhou's butt and said, "Go."

Jin Zhou pointed at his exposed upper body and asked, "Brother, you've made such a great sacrifice, is there any reward?"

Song Shuyang stood on tiptoe and kissed the mole under his lip. "I wish you a successful performance, brother."

As expected, Jin Zhou caused a burst of screams when he came on stage.

Song Shuyang was staring at the live broadcast screen in front of the stage. Most of the people who came when the show started were here because of the previous rumors. They kept asking in the live broadcast room whether the anchor and the bar owner were really orthopedics doctors. Song Shuyang muted a few people who said too much. The environment in the live broadcast room was slightly better. After the band officially took the stage, all the barrages turned into groundhogs.

【Ahhh, brother has a really good figure, generous and rich! 】

[Three of the three people in your band have good eyes for me]

[Is my younger brother live streaming now? Can you see me? Hello, hello, everyone likes me, but I really like you! ]

My younger brother really spread the word about the good food he ate. Thank you, brother, for giving me such a feast for the eyes.

Afterwards, my screen was inexplicably flooded with messages like [Thank you, brother, for giving me a feast for the eyes].

Song Shuyang replied as an administrator: [Okay, okay]

The audience went crazy again, and the live broadcast room gradually became more than 100,000 popular, and the beauty plan was a great success.

The live performance was also very successful. Except for some minor problems with the sound system, everything Song Shuyang was worried about did not happen. The audience responded very enthusiastically and had fun for four hours. The drinks were almost sold out.

The Sun Chaser Band’s debut performance was a success!

Song Shuyang was just sending a message saying that today's live broadcast was over, but he saw the headlights that had dimmed came on again.

On the stage, only Jin Zhou remained.

He walked over to the croissant's microphone stand and said in a low, pleasant voice, "I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify the rumors about me and Song Shuyang."

Song Shuyang's heart tightened and he was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.

Why would you bring this up when everything is ending perfectly?

Jin Zhou wouldn't publicly distance himself from him for the sake of the band's development, would he?

The audience who had left the live broadcast room came back again, and the number of viewers increased by tens of thousands compared to the peak of popularity. Everyone, including Song Shuyang, was waiting with their hearts beating like drums for what Jin Zhou would say next.

The whole place was silent. Jin Zhou suddenly laughed softly, "Does anyone really think I want to clarify? He and I are a couple. Our parents have officially met. We are aboveboard. It's you who are narrow-minded."

He picked up the guitar again and strummed a few syllables.

"The last song is dedicated to Song Shuyang, All my life for sun."

Croissant and Jiang Ying appeared on Song Shuyang's left and right.

Jiang Ying laughed and said, "Yangzi, hold your jaw in, or it'll dislocate if you keep opening it this wide."

"It's not on the program..."

"This is a surprise that Boats wants to give you. They were afraid that I couldn't keep it a secret, so they told me before going on stage." Croissant wrinkled his nose.

Song Shuyang managed to calm himself down and saw that the live broadcast room was refreshing the screen frantically again.

We are upright and honest, it is you who are narrow-minded.

After the ambiguous and lingering song ended, Jin Zhou smiled and asked, "Zaizi, did you hear that?"

Song Shuyang rushed onto the stage regardless and spun him around in his arms.

"Yes, I heard it."

The people in the audience were all booing, and Song Shuyang blushed belatedly, "The atmosphere has become so heated, do we need a kiss?"

Jin Zhou had already kissed her, but he was very restrained and only gave it a brief taste.

The live broadcast room was banned for violating regulations, but no one cared about it.

The audience kept booing, as if they had to watch them kiss passionately in public before they could let them go. Song Shuyang hid in his chest and whispered, "What should I do? This is so embarrassing."

Jin Zhou held the guitar in one hand and lifted him up by the waist with the other hand and walked off the stage. He only put him down when they reached the sofa in the lounge.

Song Shuyang regretted it deeply. "If I had known you were going to do this, I would have released some information in advance. I could have sold at least a few hundred more tickets!"

Jin Zhou took a sip of water and scratched his nose, "You're obsessed with money."

He put down the water bottle in his hand, knelt on one knee in front of Song Shuyang, and asked softly: "Zizi, are you ready to be with me for the rest of your life?"

"Nonsense! You've already brought me here. If I continue to be unfaithful, won't I be hunted down by the entire internet?"

Jin Zhou pinched his face, his pretty lips curved into an arc, and he lowered his voice and said, "With this posture and this atmosphere, can't you see what I'm going to do?"

Song Shuyang was stunned for a moment, and then a look of half-helpless joy appeared on his face.

"You're not going to propose, are you?"

Jin Zhou grabbed his ear and a ring appeared like magic.

He took Song Shuyang's hand, picked up his ring finger, and kissed it.

A plastic ring for a platinum ring, everything seemed destined at the first sight.

…

"Sister Miaomiao, I will be your brother from now on."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you."

"Sister Miaomiao, marry me."

…

Song Shuyang watched with tears in his eyes as Jin Zhou put the ring on his ring finger.

Jin Zhou raised his head and kissed him on the lips.

"Song Shuyang, I accept your proposal."

It is an echo after fourteen years.

They met in one summer, fell in love in one summer, and they have many, many summers to go.

So take advantage of the summer and do what you want to do!
