Chapter 17 Chapter 17 The Disappointing Neurosis
The number of people on the streets increased visibly.
Star shuttles of various colors crisscrossed and flew past, and even the usually empty star orbits were crowded, and the speed of movement seemed to be slowed down by the heavy weight.
Most people went in one direction, like ants encountering a sugar mine, a huge crowd.
Lu Zhiluan stood at the window on the second floor and looked into the distance.
"Doctor Lu, let's go out and play! We have the Star Shuttle, so we don't have to squeeze the Star Orbit!" Liu Qingsong called him downstairs, with a few youthful young men and women standing next to him.
Lu Zhiluan looked down and only recognized that three of them lived nearby, and the other two were strangers.
He closed the window, changed into some light and casual clothes, and went downstairs with the cat.
In the lobby downstairs, several people gathered together to discuss today's itinerary.
A boy with brown hair said, "Let's go to the Starry Plaza first. There are a lot of people at the Wormhole Mountain this time. Let's not go and squeeze with the grandpas and grandmas. Every time there are so many people, the worm stones have been picked up long ago."
"We'll go to Wormhole Square to watch the show in the evening. It's said that Star Master spent a lot of money this year and invited several anchors and celebrities from Canaan to come."
"Is this true? Can we really invite a star of Ganan's caliber? And they will definitely have priority to perform on the main star." Someone questioned.
Liu Qingsong also joined the discussion, "Yes, the main stars are full of big shots, who would miss such a good opportunity and come to our 07 star?"
"I'm so jealous of these rich people. When can I go to the main planet? Can I see Admiral Jing giving a speech on the main planet?" a girl said with longing.
Before he could finish his words, his friends interrupted him one after another. The brown-haired boy blushed and shouted angrily, "Listen to me first!"
The other people saw this and hurriedly coaxed, "Okay, okay, please speak, Second Young Master." Then they patted Liu Qingsong and the girl lightly and pretended to be stern, "Be brave, don't interrupt Second Young Master!" The girl was used to these psychopaths acting up, and she slapped them back, and strange howling sounds came one after another.
Several young people pushed each other and laughed at the angry Second Young Master.
When the boy heard this half-joking name, his eyes widened again, and the anger in his heart had long disappeared.
He went on to say, "We definitely can't invite top anchors and celebrities, but this time they really came from Canaan."
In previous celebrations, it was basically impossible for them to see people from Canaan Star.
People below still have to find ways to get in. If they can't go to Canaan, they can go to the stars below. The more prosperous the place, the more attractive it is. However, that is a game for the rich.
Ordinary people like them can only stay on this planet.
"Not only our 07 star, but also several other stars were invited."
"Oh my god, our star master is so powerful, then why am I not rich yet?"
The second young master said, "It is said that it is because General Ganan Jing will not be attending this year."
"Hey, why? He's here every year, and I was planning to secretly admire his looks. After all, there's no substitute for the admiral's looks on the Internet. I think even the big star Luo Yu isn't as good-looking as the admiral."
"Oh, you're such a pervert!"
"Besides, how can you be sure that it is Admiral Jing? He never shows up on Starnet."
"Leave it to me. That's how he looks in my mind."
"You guys are going to die! If the admiral knew that you discussed him in private, you wouldn't know how miserable you are!"
"You are crazy. How could the admiral care about such an unimportant matter? Don't forget that our Jing Miaoma's big screen cheering every year never dances on his face. We are just getting started."
Seeing that their topic was getting more and more off-topic, they started arguing about who among the big stars had the best looks and who had the most scandals.
Lu Zhiluan stood aside quietly and watched the show. It turned out that the entertainment industry is equally exciting no matter where it is.
General Liu, a die-hard fan of the general, easily won over the group of scholars with his arguments. He turned around and finally spotted Lu Zhiluan, who was as quiet as a chicken, and pulled him into the center of the topic.
"Doctor Xiaolu, you also think that General Jing is the best looking person, right?"
This cry was heard by everyone.
Caught off guard by a row of eyes staring at him, Lu Zhiluan felt extremely oppressed, and nodded without even thinking.
Even though he had no idea what Admiral Jing looked like, it was right to follow the crowd.
The second young master was stunned when he saw Lu Zhiluan. He was outside through the glass just now and couldn't see what the person looked like. Now looking at him so directly, he was really surprised.
His ears turned slightly red, and he looked at Lu Zhiluan with a look of hesitation, and finally whispered, "Actually, I think you are pretty, too."
Others: …?
Lu Zhiluan remained calm and accepted the sudden compliment, "Thank you."
Liu Qingsong patted his head and suddenly remembered that he had not yet introduced Lu Zhilan to the other two friends who had never met him. "This is Doctor Lu. He just moved in here not long ago."
Pointing at the second young master, he said to Lu Zhiluan, "Xiao Yao, also known as the second young master."
Then he pointed at another girl, "Yuying."
Lu Zhiluan smiled slightly, "Hello."
Young people are very active and they become less reserved after just a few simple conversations once they get to know each other.
As the saying goes, a friend of a friend is a friend. Although Lu Zhiluan looks a little cold, he is not difficult to deal with when you get along with him.
While Lu Zhiluan was checking the two animals, Yuying came to Liu Qingsong's side and nudged him with her elbow, "You know such a handsome guy, but you hid him from me."
"Tell me how you two met?"
Xiao Yao, who was standing by, looked over with curiosity, and was obviously concerned as well.
There was a hint of inexplicable bitterness in Liu's relaxed smile. He thought of the day when he was socially embarrassed in front of his neighbors, and began to dig his toes into the ground.
That day, Dr. Lu not only cured his pica, but also took away his face and curiosity about the world.
Everything he did thereafter was done with extreme caution, fearing that his name would appear again in Dr. Lu's thoughts.
At the same time, he felt a little lucky that Dr. Lu did not reveal his gossip in front of this group of friends. If this group of people knew about it, he would be laughed at for at least ten years.
Liu Qingsong spoke mysteriously to the two of them in a low voice: "You will know later that Dr. Lu is an interesting person."
Xiao Yao couldn't help but glance at the handsome figure in the room. He couldn't imagine how such a person who was like an immortal banished from the snowy mountains and had no interest in worldly affairs could be associated with the word "interesting".
After arranging for the two small animals in the nursing home, Lu Zhiluan took the kitten and Liu Qingsong and his group on the Star Shuttle.
The first stop was the Starry Sky Plaza.
As the name suggests, the buildings around the square are designed to be semi-suspended star-shaped. The surface coating has been treated to absorb light, so it will not be too dazzling under the sunlight, but present a soft halo. At night, the star-shaped buildings will release the light stored during the day, and after special design, they will emit brilliant starlight. At that time, standing in the observatory to watch will be a completely different glass sea of stars.
The wide square was bustling with people, and on both sides were small stalls selling all kinds of snacks and sundry goods. It was dazzling to look at, with constant calls of hawkers, and the place was extremely lively.
Xiao Yao bought everyone an iced drink and sucked on his pipe: "Let's walk around outside first before going in. Everyone can choose to do whatever they want."
He pointed to the largest building, the Star Edge, and said, "Meet there in two hours. I got tickets to the Science and Technology Museum. Let's go play the latest holographic online game."
Liu Qingsong hugged Xiao Yao and howled, "Wow, you are worthy of being the Second Young Master. I have been trying to get a ticket for that game for a long time but couldn't get one!"
Several other people were also excited and thrilled when they heard this.
Lu Zhiluan didn't know what game that was, but judging from the way they played it, it must be fun.
It has been almost three months since he came to this interstellar world. He is curious about many things and is eager to supplement his knowledge.
After the meeting ended, Lu Zhiluan carried the cat around for a walk. After two hours, he had a few strange little gadgets in his hands, all of which he bought for the cat.
Jing Miao saw through it and did not say anything, thinking it was an excuse. On the surface, it was bought for himself, but in fact, Lu Zhiluan liked it very much too.
Shop and eat. Shop and eat.
Time was running out, and in the blink of an eye it was already night.
They arrived at their last stop, Wormhole Square.
Xiao Yao is like a hidden Doraemon.
Kuku took out the inner field ticket from his pocket again.
The performance was about to begin and the audience entered the venue one after another. Liu Qingsong sat only a few dozen meters away from the stage, his eyes still dazed.
"Second Master, tell me the truth, has your family suddenly become rich?"
"Indoor tickets, I used to only be able to stand outside and watch the big screen broadcast."
Xiao Yao pursed his lips and said embarrassedly: "My brother gave it to me. He was transferred to Canaan University to be a teacher not long ago."
Liu Qingsong said with a sincere face: "Young Master is so powerful, let us thank you." Others also followed suit.
Xiao Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Tsk, a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world. I don't know what they have to be happy about." An untimely voice came from behind.
"But it's understandable. Some people can only stay in this remote place for the rest of their lives and feel complacent just because they have a ticket."
"That's right. The ticket might have been stolen. He's bragging about it by using Ganan's name. He's not afraid of hurting his back. The people above him won't care about an ordinary performance."
There was a shrill laugh from behind.
Xiao Yao frowned and turned his head to look back.
There were four young men sitting in the back, and the one in the middle met his gaze squarely, with undisguised contempt in his eyes.
"What are you looking at? Did I say anything about you?" the person next to him asked maliciously.
Liu Qingsong was so angry that he was about to stand up and argue with them.
Xiao Yao grabbed him.
He shook his head. "The show is about to start."
The surroundings had become quiet early on, and the noise they caused was quite loud, attracting the attention of many people, who were looking over here.
Liu Qingsong looked annoyed and sat down reluctantly, "Why are you holding me back?"
Xiao Yao's expression was not very good, but he still chose to keep things quiet: "Don't let some bad things affect the good mood of the celebration. You guys sit down too."
He knew who the person behind was.
He was among the performers invited from Canaan.
Fang Liao is considered to be a popular young actor in the Canaan entertainment industry. He has released several singles, has a good voice, and just starred in a TV series, so he has become quite famous recently.
Sure enough, not long after the performance began, Fang Liao was recognized. The news spread again and again, causing quite a stir.
Many people turned their heads to look for Fang Liao in the audience and stopped paying attention to the performance on the stage. Lu Zhiluan was close by and witnessed the helplessness and embarrassment of the young singer on the stage. He looked like he was about to cry.
More and more spectators gathered around, and the organizers were sweating anxiously. No one expected that the big Buddha who was invited at a high price was not in the lounge but ran to sit in the audience seats by himself.
They had to send security to maintain order and ask people to go backstage.
Looking at the man who was smiling brightly amid the cheers and applause, and was also whispering to remind the audience to be careful.
Liu Qingsong couldn't help but curse: "Hypocritical, pretending to be a human but acting like a dog."
Fang Liao, who had not walked far yet, heard it. A gloom flashed in his eyes. He turned his head and said something to the people next to him, then went to the backstage surrounded by bodyguards.
The commotion was quelled, and the young singer on the stage finished singing and left the stage with red eyes.
Before the next show starts.
Several people in work uniforms came up to Lu Zhiluan and his friends.
"Excuse me, someone has reported that several tickets were suspected of being resold or stolen. Could you please provide us with the source of the information or show us the purchase records for verification?" The visitor had a good attitude, but there was also some helplessness in his eyes.
Xiao Yao thought about it and knew what was going on. "Wait a minute, I'll ask my family."
Soon, a message came from the computer, and Xiao Yao showed them the information.
After verifying that everything was correct, the staff quickly brought several fruit plates to express their apologies.
"I'm so sorry, enjoy your viewing."
Liu Qingsong then realized that it was Fang Liao's doing.
I couldn't help but curse: "He must be crazy."
