Chapter 981 You've Always Liked
"You can learn it. There are still 18 days left. You have plenty of time. You can always learn to sing a song in 18 days."
Bai Qingxia chuckled, picked up some food and put it in her mouth, looking at him with her eyes: "So what should we sing?"
"Good question, let me think about it."
Lu Yuanqiu placed his right hand in a "V" shape on his chin, frowning in thought. Lu Yanhe put down her chopsticks and imitated her father.
Bai Qingxia was amused by the father and son.
"Never mind, I'll interview other people tomorrow and get opinions from all sides. Let's eat first."
Lu Yanhe shouted, "Let's eat!"
...
[Question: What song should Lu Yuanqiu and his family of three sing together at the first-grade welcome party?]
[Interviewee: Master Zhong, who makes milk tea]
Location: Big Ben Milk Tea Shop
In the video, a microphone was shoved into Zhong Jincheng's stubble-covered mouth. Zhong Jincheng impatiently raised his hand to swat it away: "Is this trivial matter worth recording with a camera? Showing off that you have a new camera, huh?"
Lu Yuanqiu's voice came from off-camera: "They've withdrawn their investment."
In the video, Zhong Jincheng's face instantly transformed into a fawning smile: "Oh my~ President Lu~ Why are you being so serious?"
With a serious expression, he adjusted the camera and stared at it, saying, "Such a loving scene, I suggest you three sing 'Listen to Me, Thank You.' Didn't Yan Yan sing it before?"
Lu Yuanqiu slammed the ball down on his head: "You've already been scolded so badly! And you still sing this!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Mr. Lu! Don't go! I have another suggestion! Damn it, Lu Yuanqiu, if you dare to withdraw your investment, I'll fight you to the death!"
The camera then panned back to the original viewpoint.
Zhong Jincheng paused for a moment: "...I didn't say anything."
[Second interviewee: Zheng, 80, with a new five-finger mark on his face]
Location: Courtyard No. 1
In the video, Zheng Yifeng raises his hand to block the camera, looking displeased, and says, "Don't film me."
He raised his hand as if to swat a mosquito in the air, but there were no mosquitoes in the air.
The camera pans to Su Miaomiao, who is watching a show on the sofa. Su Miaomiao turns her head, smiles, and flashes a peace sign: "Yay~"
Where are you going to post this video?
Voice off-screen: "Don't say it."
Voiceover: "I'm not filming you anymore, so tell me."
Zheng Yifeng: "Isn't Bai Qingxia only able to sing 'Darkness Falls'? Then sing this one."
Voiceover: "She didn't want to sing this. She said that singing this would make her look bad and make people think that this is all she can sing, which would be embarrassing."
Zheng Yifeng: "...Isn't this the truth?"
In the video, Su Miaomiao throws sunflower seeds at Xiaxia, saying, "Is it wrong for Xiaxia to have self-respect? Do you think everyone is like you?!"
The camera pans to Zheng Yifeng, where the sunflower seed is stuck in his bangs. Zheng Yifeng looks resentful but dares not lash out, and raises his hand to push the camera away.
Zheng Yifeng: "My patience has its limits. Lu Yuanqiu is here today, and I don't want to embarrass you in front of him."
The camera started shaking, and off-camera voices could be heard laughing Lu Yuanqiu: "Then I'm leaving! I won't bother you anymore! Hehehe~"
Zheng Yifeng: "Lu Yuanqiu, wait a minute!"
"Zheng Yifeng, have you lost your mind?!"
"Bang!" The door slammed shut.
The camera then panned to Lu Yuanqiu himself, who grunted at the camera with a look of sympathy: "May there be no 80 in heaven. I wish him good luck."
[Third interviewee: Long Liandong, the tea ceremony girl]
Location: Longshi Media
In the shot, Long Liandong sits upright at a wooden table in the tea room, her eyes constantly looking upwards.
Voiceover: "Don't look at me, look at the camera."
"Oh." Her gaze shifted downwards, and she seemed somewhat reserved in front of the camera. At that moment, she couldn't help but look up at Lu Yuanqiu, glanced at him, and then quickly looked down again, saying with a hint of confusion, "Why... are you called a tea ceremony girl? I don't like that title."
Voiceover: "Ah, it was just something I picked up because you were making tea. It didn't mean anything by it."
Long Liandong looked displeased and insisted, "Change it."
Voice from outside the mirror: "Okay... then let's just change one word, change it to 'beautiful girl,' beautiful girl Long Liandong."
The woman in the video smiled slightly, as if she were happy, and the embarrassment she had felt in front of the camera just moments before had completely vanished.
She looked at the camera seriously and said, "It's Love Story, I've been listening to it on repeat lately."
Voiceover: "My son hasn't even learned all the pinyin yet..."
"...Doesn't he teach English in kindergarten?"
"You're overthinking it. It's just a regular kindergarten. What kind of English would they teach? The teachers' Mandarin isn't even that good."
"..."
[The fourth and fifth interviewees: Xiao Yueyue, who looks like a cow or a horse, and the uninvited silly Da Chun]
Location: Office building on Xinfei Road
Voiceover: "Why is this guy here? Isn't this your dad's studio?"
With her hair slightly disheveled, as if she had just woken up, Ruan Yueru turned to look at Liu Wangchun: "I...I don't know, when did Sister Chun arrive?"
Liu Wangchun crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows: "What is 'Silly Chun'? Explain it to me."
"Snap!" she said, picking up a pencil from the table and easily breaking it in two.
Ruan Yueru covered her mouth, feeling distressed: "My idiot..."
The camera quickly panned to reveal Lu Yuanqiu's serious yet slightly nervous face... and his double chin. He nervously looked up and glanced ahead, quickly changing the interview title with a pen.
[The fourth and fifth interviewees: Little Yueyue with a face like a cow or a horse, and the surprisingly beautiful Liu Tianxian!]
The camera pans back to Sha Dachun, who squinted and leaned forward. Her angry face turned into a smile, and she happily shook her head as she explained, "I heard you've been interviewing people everywhere to make vlogs, so of course I have to be there! I came over myself so you don't have to run around."
...Actually, Lu Yuanqiu had no intention of going to find her at all, but off-camera, he still smiled and nodded. He didn't want to end up like that idiot.
Voiceover: "So thoughtful, Fairy Liu."
Liu Wangchun: "Hehe."
She waved two peace signs at the camera, her face fully made up, looking like she had dressed up carefully before coming.
Voiceover: "Little Yueyue, speak first."
Liu Wangchun: "Why?!"
Voiceover: "Because you're the last one to appear."
Silly Dachun: "Hehe."
Since working for her father, Ruan Yueru seemed to have lost all her energy and spirit, and she said listlessly, "Huang Qishan and Xilinna Yigao's 'Is a Mother or a Daughter' is quite touching, let's sing that."
Voiceover: "I have a son..."
Ruan Yueru was shocked: "Ah?!"
The camera then pans directly to Liu Wangchun, with a voice-over saying, "Little Yueyue is useless, you should take over."
Liu Wangchun: "Wasn't that Xiaxia's birthday? Why didn't we just sing 'Happy Birthday'? Xiaxia would definitely be surprised."
Voiceover: "That's the welcome party! She's happy, but what about the others?"
Liu Wangchun was smiling, then looked up expressionlessly and said, "What do I care about the others?"
Click, the computer shuts down.
Click, power on.
[Sixth interviewee: My beloved wife.]
Location: Supermarket near my home.
In the video, Bai Qingxia is carrying a shopping basket, carefully picking potatoes from the shelf. She glances at the interview title with a smile, then looks at Lu Yuanqiu: "When did you buy this camera?"
Voiceover: "I bought it a long time ago, it's been gathering dust for ages, I only remembered it yesterday, hurry up and answer the question."
Bai Qingxia shrank her neck and shook her head rapidly, looking weak, helpless, and pitiful: "I don't want to sing, I can't sing... I don't know what to sing, please let me go, please~"
Voiceover: "Study!"
She picked up the basket and ran away quickly.
The camera shakes as Lu Yuanqiu chases after them.
At the checkout counter, the cashier glanced at Lu Yuanqiu's camera with a cold expression, then looked at Bai Qingxia: "42.8 yuan, do you need a bag?"
"want."
Bai Qingxia entered her payment password.
The image then zoomed in, pointing towards her phone screen.
"012919".
Lu Yuanqiu read the string of numbers aloud and looked at Bai Qingxia: "I know what to sing now."
Bai Qingxia looked up: "What?"
Lu Yuanqiu: "You've always liked 'Maple Leaf,' but you've never been able to sing it."
