Chapter 577 Because of Your Beard
Long Liandong didn't respond in a hurry, but just let Fang Ran go first.
Lu Yuanqiu looked at the guy's back as he hurried away with his computer in his arms, and said with a smile: "This guy is quite funny."
Long Liandong: "Not famous, but has real talent, and lacks a bit of luck... That's how my grandfather introduced him."
Lu Yuanqiu: "You mean if my song goes viral, it might become his masterpiece?"
"Almost... Actually, what you wrote is pretty good. I read a little bit of it. If his composition is okay, it should be OK for a small circle. But I still think he is not very reliable. You can check the specific effect in a week. If not, I will help you find someone else."
"Thank you."
Lu Yuanqiu handed her her coffee, took a sip of the one in front of him, and asked her, "Would you like to have dinner?"
"Does Bai Qingxia know that you asked me for help?"
"She doesn't know... But it doesn't matter whether she knows or not. Mutual trust is the foundation of my relationship with her."
"So she was hostile to me before?"
Lu Yuanqiu paused for a moment, thinking back to what happened before, and explained, "Because she believed in me, but she didn't believe in herself."
Long Liandong sipped his coffee: "I'm quite curious about her story. She should be a girl with a lot of stories, right?"
Lu Yuanqiu took a deep breath and said with a smile: "If you become good friends with us, I believe she will voluntarily tell you her story. In fact, if you two put your personalities together, I think that picture should be quite interesting."
Long Liandong said nothing.
No matter what happened, she always looked indifferent, just like Zheng Yifeng who would just sleep on the table no matter what happened before.
Lu Yuanqiu only remembered that her expression changed twice. Once was when she smiled when she heard Lu Yuanqiu also read Keigo Higashino during military training. The other time was when she cried after she finished drawing a picture for Lu Yuanqiu a few months ago... Lu Yuanqiu didn't see her crying because her sketchbook was covered tightly, but Lu Yuanqiu remembered that her eyes were red when she left.
Long Liandong took another sip of coffee, then stood up and said, "Let's go out for a walk, then you can treat me to dinner, and then, go home."
"Um."
Lu Yuanqiu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't like owing anything to this girl who was sometimes even more taciturn than Bai Qingxia. Although the price of a meal could not make up for the help she had given him, it was still some compensation.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Take me what you normally eat."
"I eat at a roadside stall. Are you used to eating there?"
"If you can get used to it, I can get used to it."
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and put his hands in his pockets. He really missed a lot of interesting people in his previous life.
At noon on July 7, Lu Yuanqiu received the first audio file sent by Fang Ran. The singer's voice was similar to his. Lu Yuanqiu guessed that Long Liandong had shown Fang Ran some videos of him singing.
In fact, Lu Yuanqiu felt that this version was already pretty good, but Fang Ran kept asking him if there were any flaws. Lu Yuanqiu felt that he couldn't even give a professional evaluation, but in order to keep improving, he still gave some suggestions from an amateur's perspective, like nitpicking. Fang Ran gladly accepted and said that it was no problem and would make some more changes.
This guy's responsible attitude made Lu Yuanqiu want to give him a compliment, but Long Liandong silenced Lu Yuanqiu the next second.
『Long Liandong』: He scolded you for pretending to know everything, and I heard it. I warned him that if he did it again next time, I would just replace him.
Lu Yuanqiu: ...
Damn, this coin deserves to be unknown.
Seeing that lunch time was approaching, Lu Yuanqiu quietly went out, took the elevator to the sixth floor, and went to Bai Qingxia's house for a meal.
In the past week, he has had six meals in a row at Bai Qingxia's place. Lu Yidong has come five times, and Lu Tian has come three times. Lu Yuanqiu doesn't want to bring anyone from either of them today.
You have hands, can't you cook for yourself at home? Do you have the nerve to eat other people's food every day?
"Ding Dong~" the doorbell rang.
Bai Qingxia opened the door. Lu Yuanqiu leaned against the wall with one hand, crossed his legs, raised his head slowly, and blinked his left eye: "Hello~"
Bai Qingxia stared at him blankly, then blushed as she glanced behind Lu Yuanqiu. Lu Yuanqiu said, "Don't look. I'm the only one here today."
"Oh... come in." She backed away.
There were a lot of new slippers bought next to the shoe rack, basically bought for Lu Yuanqiu's family of four. Lu Yuanqiu liked to wear the pair of gray Big Bad Wolf slippers. Once, Lu Tian didn't pay attention to wearing them, so Lu Yuanqiu used a shoe brush at Bai Qingxia's house to wash the pair of slippers three times.
"What delicious food did you make today~" Lu Yuanqiu followed Bai Qingxia with his hands on her shoulders.
"There are shrimps, fish, and duck."
"So rich?"
Bai Qingxia puffed out one cheek and said nothing. In fact, the three women plus Bai Songzhe didn't eat much meat, but Lu Yuanqiu often came to eat for free during this period, so Bai Qingxia would buy more vegetables every day.
Seeing Ran Ran walking in the living room by feeling the table, Lu Yuanqiu walked up to her and secretly lifted her up, shouting, "Ran Ran is so amazing, she even opened up a map of the living room!"
The little girl had heard Lu Yuanqiu's voice a long time ago, but was not frightened. She giggled on Lu Yuanqiu's shoulder like a child, and raised her hand to touch Lu Yuanqiu's cheek. Even if she didn't hear the voice, she could tell who the other person was by the facial outline, but this was limited to the four adults in the room at the moment.
The person who fed Bai Songzhe at the dinner table was no longer Bai Qingxia, but Aunt Zhang. While eating, Lu Yuanqiu looked at Bai Songzhe who was sitting opposite him, and suddenly found that Bai Songzhe was also looking at him. Lu Yuanqiu gave him a surprised look, but Bai Songzhe slowly looked away, and his eyes continued to become dull.
"Has your father spoken recently?" Lu Yuanqiu asked.
Bai Qingxia shook her head, but Aunt Zhang said, "There's something I forgot to tell you. In June, Ran Ran once walked past him and was about to fall, and Old Bai reached out and held her up."
Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia were both surprised.
"What a good sign." Lu Yuanqiu exclaimed.
Bai Qingxia also stood up and happily took the tissue to wipe her father's mouth.
After dinner, Lu Yuanqiu looked at Ran Ran who was still wandering in the living room and complained to Bai Qingxia: "Why did Ran Ran start calling me uncle, but still call you sister?"
Bai Qingxia didn't say anything, just stared at Lu Yuanqiu's face. She slowly raised her slender white hand and stroked Lu Yuanqiu's chin with her fingertips. Then she smiled and said, "Because your beard has grown."
"Oh, really?" Lu Yuanqiu turned his head to look at the mirror on the sink and was stroking his chin when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound next to him. He looked to the side and saw Bai Qingxia handing him an electric shaver.
Seeing that Lu Yuanqiu didn't extend his hand, the girl blinked her clear eyes and handed it forward again.
Lu Yuanqiu put his hands behind his back, bent over, and moved his face towards the girl.
The two men stared at each other, with the only sound between them being the buzzing of the electric shaver.
Two more updates.
