Chapter 18 On TV
…
Monday, August 20, 2007.
Lu Feng drove a second-hand Passat and sent Reba to the door of the song and dance troupe, waving goodbye to her.
"Be careful when you eat in the cafeteria, take less snacks, and don't embarrass our community."
"You stinky Lu Feng, you are the one who brings shame to our community! Do you believe me when I tell others that you are the blind singer in Erdaoqiao who cried himself blind because of his ex-girlfriend's wedding?"
Reba originally thought that Lu Feng would say some sentimental words to her, encouraging her to dance well and strive to become a mainstay of the show as soon as possible.
Sure enough, Lu Feng is still the same Lu Feng, always speaking in such an annoying way, without any change at all.
However, she also has a trick to control Lu Feng.
[Blind Singer] As soon as the topic came out, Lu Feng immediately became disheveled in the wind, with a look of pleading for mercy.
"Reba, I'm leaving now. I'll pick you up in the afternoon."
It is about 3 kilometers from their community to the dance troupe, and it only takes 15 minutes by bus, which is very convenient.
But it was Reba's first day at work, and Lu Feng felt that she needed a sense of ceremony, so he got this second-hand Passat from her father and picked her up personally.
I got up early in the morning and made a cup of low-end Heytea for Reba.
After sending Reba off, Lu Feng had to return the car, and then a new week of tasks began. Without Reba to assist him, he could only rely on himself.
…
“Too tired.”
"This crappy task is becoming increasingly difficult to accomplish."
"Why does it feel like everyone in the bazaar of Wushi has heard the song "Guest"? What's going on?"
The song "Guest" is quite difficult to sing.
It is difficult for ordinary amateur singers to sing with that kind of charm.
Therefore, even if someone imitates Lu Feng, they can’t sing with the same feeling as him... After all, this song is the one he had been practicing before he traveled through time.
I thought that doing this daily task today would be very easy, but Lu Feng never expected that it would take him five or six hours and he would go to several places before he got positive reviews from 100 people.
Lu Feng guessed in his mind that it was probably because without Reba's support by his side, his charm when singing could not reach the best effect, which made the task gradually become difficult.
"It's really too difficult to complete the task by singing."
"After going to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, the difficulty of the mission should be reduced..."
Before applying for the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Lu Feng specifically checked and found out that the main focus of the Performance Department of the Shanghai Theatre Academy is drama, and even musicals, so there are many opportunities for practice.
A drama performance has at least a few hundred audiences. If you perform two shows a day, you can get 100 positive reviews, right?
If all else fails, go to a small bar near the school and sing a few songs.
It shouldn't be difficult to complete a daily task.
…
As the sun sets, the sky and the earth turn golden, so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.
In front of the dance troupe.
Lu Feng had just pulled over to the side of the road to park the car when he saw Reba and a few pretty girls walking out, talking and laughing.
Lu Feng looked at the time.
It’s such a sin to get off work at 8 o’clock in the evening.
"Senior, I'm leaving. Someone is here to pick me up."
The dancers in the National Song and Dance Troupe are basically all senior students from Reba Art Academy. When she joined the troupe, it was like returning to school. She became familiar with everyone in just one day.
However, she vaguely felt that this was not the life she wanted.
So boring.
It’s still more fun to go out and sing with Lu Feng every day.
Of course, she had worked so hard to get into the dance troupe, so she wouldn't quit so quickly.
"Lu Feng, are you really here to pick me up? I thought you were lying to me. Wait a minute, what smells so good? You've been eating it behind my back again, take it out now!"
As soon as Reba got in, she smelled the aroma of barbecue in the car, which aroused her appetite.
Lu Feng laughed and took out the skewers hidden from behind.
The two of them were almost friends for life and death, so Reba wasn't going to be polite to Lu Feng. She immediately picked up a skewer and started to eat it happily.
"Don't eat too much. There will be a big meal waiting for you later."
"What feast?"
Reba immediately pricked up her ears.
"My dad successfully negotiated a big deal and asked someone to airlift a box of seafood over to celebrate. You're in for a treat tonight."
Although there is farmed seafood here, can the taste of farmed seafood be the same as that of wild seafood?
The price is not the same thing.
"Go, go, go home!"
When Reba heard that there was something delicious to eat, she was full of motivation to go home.
…
That evening.
Lu Feng's family and Reba's family got together and had a seafood dinner.
"The taste of wild seafood is just different. The red crab roe is sweet and fresh, and especially delicious."
"And this wild yellow croaker is especially delicious... What? 100 yuan per pound? Dad, wait a minute, let me have another bite."
Reba’s belly was full after eating so much, and she excitedly discussed with Lu Feng how delicious the seafood was.
However, when she learned that the previous meal cost her almost a month's salary, she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"If I had known this, I should have savored it carefully."
Reba felt a little regretful.
I don’t know when I will be able to have this kind of seafood feast next time.
"If you like seafood, I'll pay for your plane ticket during the winter vacation, and you can come to my house to celebrate the New Year. I'll drive you directly to Zhoushan Port, and you can eat as much as you want."
"Since you've invited me so kindly, I'll consider it."
A smile appeared on Reba's face and she felt sweet in her heart.
I really am an important person in his life. He bought me a plane ticket and drove me to the port to choose seafood.
Although Lu Feng always calls me a greedy old man, he is really nice to me.
…
After eating and drinking.
Reba and her family returned to their home.
A family of three sat on the sofa watching TV.
"Teacher Lu's family is really nice. I also like Lu Feng, that kid...Murati, have you ever thought about what I mentioned to you last time?"
"Let's talk about it later."
When her parents were talking, Reba's ears were perked up and her little face turned a little red.
Because she felt as if she understood what her mother was saying.
But, in the next second, Reba didn't care to listen to her own gossip.
"Thank you for your special invitation to witness your love..."
At this moment, a familiar song suddenly appeared on the TV's "People's Livelihood Program".
The song "Guest" and Lu Feng's singing voice sounded without warning, making Reba stunned for a moment.
Then, Reba’s family’s eyes widened.
Because, a close-up of Reba appeared on TV.
Although she was wearing a large scarf that covered half of her face, her baby voice and her big, bright black eyes were so eye-catching.
At this time, Reba's parents were all staring at the TV in amazement.
On TV, Reba, with tears in her eyes, was shouting at a young man wearing sunglasses: "Aka, stop singing, please stop singing. Forget about her. That woman is married. You cried your eyes out for her..."
Along with the song, the TV host's sorrowful and deep voice sounded: "A blind young man sang the tear-jerking song "Guest" for his former lover. What kind of touching story is behind this?"
Then, there is the live version of the song "Guest".
Lu Feng's singing is clear in pronunciation, long and continuous, and full of melancholy and pain.
It was the first time for Reba's parents to hear this song. However, instead of being moved by the sad song, they felt an indescribable sense of absurdity.
"The person singing... is Lu Feng, right?"
"A blind young man? Singing for love? The tear-jerking song "The Guest"... What on earth are you two doing?"
Reba's parents felt that they couldn't understand the way young people played. At this moment, they turned to look at Reba, their eyes full of questions.
You two go out and play every day, and now you've even been on TV.
