Chapter 51 I want to hear you sing, brother...
"ah?!"
After two or three seconds, the boy reacted and forced out an awkward smile.
"Is that so?" The boy retreated, "Sorry to bother you."
He left.
Lu Zhouyan didn't say anything on the other end of the phone. Sheng Baili shook his head and realized belatedly that he was feeling awkward.
"Boss." Sheng Baili explained, "Just now a boy wanted to add me, and I didn't agree. He followed me, so I just made up an excuse. Don't mind it."
"Yeah." Lu Zhouyan replied nonchalantly, "Got it, girlfriend."
Sheng Baili: “?!”
Sheng Baili stopped and stood there as if struck by lightning.
"It's just a joke." Lu Zhouyan said with a slightly malicious smile, "Don't mind it."
Sheng Baili: “…”
When he read out those three words just now, Sheng Baili's heart almost stopped beating. It was as if an electric current ran through his whole body, making him feel numb and tingling.
[The male protagonist can also play pranks, he is so bad.] Haicha condemned.
"He has always been so bad." Sheng Baili accused expressionlessly.
[When I help you stop bleeding, peel apples, and wash cups]
Hearing this, Sheng Baili remained silent.
"Secretary Sheng." Lu Zhouyan seemed to be walking, and the voice was sometimes close and sometimes far away.
After a moment, he said with a half-smile, "What do you mean by putting my coffee on the window sill outside the ladies' room?"
Sheng Baili: “….”
"I'm sorry." Sheng Baili said, "I neglected it."
"I'll order you a new drink. What would you like to drink?" Secretary Sheng said in a humble manner.
"No need." Lu Zhouyan said, "Keep Secretary Sheng's salary for yourself."
Sheng Baili: “QAQ”
What do you mean? Are you saying she has little money?
【This is to show compassion to subordinates and care for employees! 】
Sheng Baili suddenly realized, "Okay, okay, boss, you are so generous, please continue drinking, I won't disturb you anymore."
[Detected that the male protagonist's favorability towards the host is +3, and the card reward will be issued first. 】
[Space ability card, can store things in the space of the sea of consciousness, and take them out whenever needed. The capacity is unknown, and the usage time is within 15 days from today.]
Sheng Baili put the card away and thought about how to make good use of it.
Next second.
[Sizzle—]
The sound of electric current is irregular.
The cold, inorganic electronic voice began to broadcast intermittently.
【System failure, system failure! 】
【......Under warranty for the main system. 】
[Repair has been reported. During the maintenance period, the male protagonist's favorability cannot be detected, and the plot and cards will not be dropped. Please be aware of this. 】
After a while, the electronic sound disappeared and Haicha came back.
[Ah, why did it suddenly break down?] Haicha didn't understand either.
"Has this happened before?" Sheng Baili asked.
【Never.】
"That's weird." Sheng Baili said, "But it's okay, at least a card fell out before the malfunction."
【Yes!】
On the subway, Sheng Baili was squeezed into the train by the crowd. There were so many people that she had to stand with her legs apart and struggle to hold her phone.
A message popped up in a very unfamiliar group chat.
Group name: [A812 (3)]
[Duan Xin: My dears, I will be going back to my hometown tomorrow. Why don’t we have a meal together tonight?]
【Xu Shiyao: Yes, sure. I’m always free.】
[Duan Xin: I want to go to a bar and have a couple of drinks. What do you guys want to eat? @盛白厘, are you free?]
The two roommates started chatting in the group.
Since transmigrating into the book, Sheng Baili had only seen Duan Xin. At that time, she just came back in a hurry and did not live in the dormitory.
So she has been staying alone in the dormitory for the past few months.
[Sheng Baili: Sure, I’m free.]
[Duan Xin: OK, OK, let’s go to the bar. I’ll treat you.]
Of course it’s free, Sheng Baili had no objection and sent it an OK.
【Xu Shiyao: [OK]】
【Duan Xin: Okay, then we'll see you tonight! 】
Sheng Baili exited the chat interface and browsed the forum for a while.
Big data pushed the last hot post in front of her again.
Sheng Baili was so tired from the crowd on the subway that she began to think about going out for a trip.
Isn't the purpose of working and earning money to go out and have fun?
The decision is made in a split second.
Sheng Baili opened the mini program and carefully read the purchase instructions and tour details. He thought it was good and paid quickly.
She was pulled into a group by customer service.
【Drive G to G City (29)】
【Wow, there's a new person coming in, welcome, welcome. 】
【The number of tour groups is growing day by day, which is why it is so lively. 】
[I didn't expect so many people to go to G City in winter. That's great.]
Sheng Baili changed the note according to the group message: Sheng Baili is a senior
[Emma, the baby who just came in is Sheng Baili.]
[Ah? Is this true? Let me see.]
[Oh my god, it’s really Senior Bai Li, can I add you on WeChat? ]
【I want to join too, senior, look at me [raise your hand.jpg]. 】
【I raise my hand too.】
【Raise your hand.】
.....
The subway stopped suddenly, and Sheng Baili quickly grabbed the railing to steady himself.
When I look at my phone again.
More than a dozen friend requests have popped up.
【Xiao Baili, you are welcome. 】
[But why are there so many people bashing you online? But they can only blast you online. ]
Sheng Baili hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.
If you want to hang out together, you should leave your contact information.
She replied to each person's greeting message in turn, and one message made her pause.
[Xing: Hello, I’m Jiang Xingshuo, 20 years old, a junior, majoring in swimming.]
Sheng Baili felt that the name sounded familiar, and he racked his brains to think about it, but his mind came up blank.
Sheng Baili clicked into Jiang Xingshao’s circle of friends and took a look.
Wow, another rich second generation.
His circle of friends contains photos of him racing, diving, and traveling around the world.
In every photo, Jiang Xingshuo faces the camera with a bright smile.
He dyed his hair blonde, and with his standard eight-toothed smile, he looked like a little golden retriever.
Very sunny.
His clothes also looked expensive and noble.
Sheng Baili simply flipped through it and left his circle of friends.
[Host! I remember it.] Haicha remembered it and said excitedly.
[This is one of the blind date candidates that Assistant Tianchi wants to introduce to you. ]
[On that piece of paper was written an introduction of Jiang Xingshuo, saying that he had eight-pack abs and was the captain of the S-level basketball team.]
"oh!"
Sheng Baili also remembered and said suddenly, "It turned out to be him."
The subway arrived at the station. Sheng Baili put away his phone and walked towards Duan Xinfa's bar.
This time the navigation was simple. After getting off the subway, just walk straight through the red light and you will arrive. Sheng Baili did not get lost again.
【Sheng Baili: I'm here, waiting for you here. 】
【Sheng Baili: [Picture]】
It was still early and there were not many people in the bar. There was a guitarist playing and singing, and the quiet music flowed slowly. Sheng Baili lowered his head and played a few rounds of Landlord.
After waiting for about half an hour, Duan Xin and Xu Shiyao walked in holding hands.
"Where is it?" Xu Shiyao looked around but couldn't find the familiar face in his memory.
"It's here." Duan Xin saw it and pulled her over.
The moment he saw the real person, Xu Shiyao's breath was choked.
Seeing his friend dumbfounded, Duan Xin was happy.
"I told you a long time ago that Sheng Baili is very beautiful now, but you still don't believe it." Duan Xin said, "She has been on the hot search so many times, and there are news pictures."
"I thought it was photoshopped, but I didn't expect she had changed so much!" Xu Shiyao was surprised.
The two of them sat down opposite Sheng Baili. Xu Shiyao was face to face with her. She was struck by her beauty and stared at Sheng Baili without blinking.
In fact, the facial features are similar, but one feels that a drastic change has taken place. The shadow of the gloomy, silent, marginal person in the past can no longer be seen in her.
"Lili, I can't believe you've changed so much." Xu Shiyao told the truth.
"How did you become so beautiful?" she asked curiously.
"Ah...?" Sheng Baili was confused for a second and didn't know how to answer this question.
"Hahaha stop teasing Xiaoli." Duan Xin said, "People will always change as they grow up."
"So are you in love?" Xu Shiyao thought of the news he occasionally saw.
What about Lu Zhouyan hugging his secretary like a princess, Lu Zhouyan fighting for his beloved, Lu Zhouyan having a secret meeting with his secretary...
Xu Shiyao became more and more curious.
Although they were roommates in the past, Sheng Baili was a loner and never talked to them. Now that she is cheerful and pretty, and has hooked up with such a powerful figure, she must be questioned thoroughly.
"No." Sheng Baili said.
"ah!"
Xu Shiyao and Duan Xin exclaimed in unison.
"You're so beautiful, why don't you have a relationship?" Xu Shiyao was puzzled. "Xinxin and I are both in a relationship."
Sheng Baili: "Well, I haven't found the right one yet."
Duan Xin: "Do you have someone you like now?"
As soon as this question came out, a figure flashed through Sheng Baili's mind.
But I was just completing the strategy mission.
Is this love?
"I don't have anyone I like." Sheng Baili said, "I don't know what it feels like to like someone."
Duan Xin covered her mouth and smiled, "Xiao Li, you are still very innocent."
"If you like someone, you want to stick with him/her, kiss him/her, hug him/her, and do more intimate things with him/her," said Xu Shiyao. "At least that's how I feel."
Sheng Baili nodded, not quite understanding.
As it got darker, more people came into the bar.
The door was pushed open again, and Sheng Baili glanced at it unconsciously.
"?"
Jiang Xinghuo?
Jiang Xingshu obviously recognized her. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised the corners of his lips and smiled brightly.
Sheng Baili also smiled at him politely.
"Ah." Duan Xin turned her head. "Jiang Xingshuo, he's a famous person in the school. Do you know him?"
"Uh." Sheng Baili scratched his head, "We just met."
"What is your relationship?" Xu Shiyao's eyes gleamed with gossip.
Sheng Baili was at a loss: "We just added each other as WeChat friends."
Duan Xin: “…”
Xu Shiyao: “…”
Duan Xin changed the topic and ordered some more wine.
"I can drink as much as I want today." Xu Shiyao laughed cheerfully, "because my boyfriend will come to pick me up."
Duan Xin: “Hahaha, me too.”
The two of them excitedly talked about their boyfriends. Sheng Baili couldn't get a word in and just browsed her phone for a while.
A small red dot appeared in the circle of friends. Sheng Baili clicked it carelessly.
"?"
Jiang Xingshuo actually went through her circle of friends and liked every post.
[Hiss——, what’s going on? 】
【Man, you have caught the host's attention. 】
Sheng Baili: “….”
Sheng Baili doesn't often post on WeChat Moments. She occasionally posts little complaints about being a bully and horses, and occasionally posts selfies.
There is no more.
It may not seem to have much substance at first glance. It is different from the high-end ones like Jiang Xingshuo.
Sheng Baili closed his phone and joined his roommates' tea party, but they spent most of the time drinking and eating snacks, and it took a long time for them to get in a word or two.
Duan Xin was having a great time chatting. After more than an hour, she got up to go to the bathroom. When she looked at the table next to her, she found that her roommate had drunk so much.
"Bai Li." Duan Xin was a little surprised, "You can drink so much."
"Hmm." Sheng Baili came back to his senses and looked at the empty wine bottle beside him, then he realized that he had drunk so much.
"Sorry, Xinxin, let me treat you tonight." Sheng Baili felt a little embarrassed.
She drinks a lot and eats the most, so she should treat us.
Duan Xin said no, but Sheng Baili was determined so he didn't stop her.
Sheng Baili stopped drinking and sat aside eating peanuts.
Duan Xin felt relieved when she saw that she looked normal and was sitting quietly beside her.
Soothing music seems to have a soothing effect.
Sheng Baili listened to the beautiful melody and said, "This guitar sounds pretty good."
"This guitar doesn't sound good." Duan Xin teased, "Because it's a ukelele."
Xu Shiyao: “Hahahahahaha.”
Sheng Baili: “QwQ”
An hour later, Sheng Baili went to settle the bill.
"Hello, a gentleman has already paid for your table's bill, so you don't need to pay." said the front desk waiter.
"What?" Sheng Baili was confused. "Who bought it?"
"It's a young boy with blond hair." The waiter said with a smile.
blond.
Jiang Xingshuo
Ten o'clock at night.
The three of them left the bar. Xu Shiyao's boyfriend was already waiting at the door. When he saw her come out, the two of them kissed sweetly.
"Bye, I'm leaving first." Xu Shiyao turned around and waved.
Duan Xin asked Sheng Baili how he got back and whether he was drunk.
"I'll take a taxi." Sheng Baili said, "I feel a little dizzy, but I'm fine."
"Yeah, yeah, it's safer to take a taxi." Duan Xin said, "Be careful, some people drink strong alcohol, and they may feel fine at first, but they become intoxicated later."
"Be careful, I'm leaving first." Duan Xin said.
"good."
Not long after, Duan Xin was also picked up by her boyfriend.
The white sedan sped past, and Sheng Baili was left alone standing at the door.
The weather was very cold and it was snowing outside. The cold wind blew in gusts, making a fierce sound and chilling the bones.
A feeling of loneliness suddenly emerged in my heart for no reason.
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, the indescribable loneliness and loss grew bigger and bigger in the dark night. Like a black hole that swallowed everything, it quickly engulfed my heart and even my limbs.
The online-hailing taxi arrived and Sheng Baili got in.
[Why do you feel a little depressed? What's wrong?] Haicha asked.
"I don't know." Sheng Baili touched his head which was becoming more and more dizzy.
[Lack of vitamin RMB again] Haicha is sure.
Sheng Baili: “…”
Back in the dormitory, Sheng Baili put on her slippers and went to bed. She felt as if the stairs were shaking.
Sheng Baili took the phone and tapped it unconsciously, and a few voice messages came out, the sound was sticky.
【Bai Liya: Voice [Why don’t you come pick me up?]】
【1:】
Lu Zhouyan had just finished taking a shower when he received the message.
Secretary, are you drunk?
It sounds like someone is not very sober.
【Bai Liya: Voice [Why are you putting a question mark here? Why don’t you come pick me up? Talk. ]】
Lu Zhouyan frowned in confusion, fearing that something might have happened on the other side, he made a voice call.
"Hello."
A deep and magnetic voice sounded in his ears, very familiar. Sheng Baili closed his eyes, rubbed the pillow, and responded vaguely.
Lu Zhouyan: "Drunk"
"No." Sheng Baili said, "Why didn't you come to pick me up tonight? Didn't you call me your girlfriend?"
"You're a scumbag!" A soft voice suddenly broke out, making a powerful accusation.
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
Looks like he's totally drunk.
Lu Zhouyan smiled, thinking of what he heard that night, and asked casually, "How can you have a boyfriend? Didn't you say you don't have anyone you like?"
"Or, you have a boyfriend but you don't like him, huh"
After hearing this, Sheng Baili's brain froze. She curled up on the bed, looking very insecure.
She seemed to have said this...
Sheng Baili felt a headache, and at the same time, he felt that the voice on the other end of the phone was too cold and inhuman. A sense of grievance suddenly arose.
"Why are you being so mean to me?" Sheng Baili said in a low and sad voice, and then blurted out all the words.
"Why do other people have boyfriends to pick them up, but you don't come to pick me up... I don't have a lover or family here, and I don't have many friends." Sheng Baili lay alone on the small bed, revealing a fragile look, and whispered softly, "I, I am so lonely..."
Lu Zhouyan's heart felt as if it was pricked by a needle and he felt a slight pain.
I was ignored and neglected at home. I had no roommates to chat with in the dormitory. I went back and forth between the dormitory and the company every day. After all, I was just a 20-year-old girl, so it was normal for me to feel lonely and sad.
Hearing the even and regular breathing coming from the other end of the conversation, Lu Zhouyan's Adam's apple rolled and he said what she wanted.
"Well, I was wrong. I should have come to pick you up." Lu Zhouyan said in a low voice, "You can call me next time."
Sheng Baili mumbled something, but Lu Zhouyan didn't hear it clearly.
"Well, now that you are wrong you have to compensate me." Sheng Baili said vaguely.
"What do you want?"
Sheng Baili was silent for more than ten seconds, then said, "Sing a song for me, please."
"I want to hear you sing." Sheng Baili called him softly, "Brother."
"......" Lu Zhouyan lowered his eyes, his vision darkened, "What did you call me?"
"Brother, what's wrong?" Sheng Baili asked in a confused manner, "Aren't you 6 years older than me?"
Lu Zhouyan hummed indifferently, as if he was unmoved.
"Speak louder, I can't hear you."
