Chapter 82: One Song Time

"The one just now, I remember it was another vice president, right?"

On the way to find Yan Zhusheng, Ying Chanxi suddenly asked.

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded. "I was wondering. A few days ago, during evening study, I refused to join the literature club. She was quite angry at the time. I didn't expect her to write to me."

"I guess it's not a good thing." Xu Youyu on the other side rolled his eyes. "Her few strengths are that her writing style is sharp, her personality is strong and mean, and she likes to be sarcastic."

"Senior, it's not nice to talk about others behind their backs." Li Luo smiled. "Now that you mention it, I'm curious about what she wrote."

"At least I will explain her good points." Xu Youyu curled his lips. "As for what she wrote in the letter, don't tell me when you read it. Anyway, it will probably be something bad, so be prepared."

"Eh... It's rare to receive a letter from a girl, but I didn't expect it might be a mockery of me." Li Luo sighed, "Unlike you two, you are surprisingly popular."

"I don't know why, but boys always have some unrealistic fantasies in their minds." Xu Youyu complained, "Even though they don't have any communication at all, they still fantasize that beautiful girls will take the initiative to send messages to them or be interested in them."

"It's better to be safe than sorry," Li Luo said. "Before adulthood, many people subconsciously think they are the protagonist in the story."

"You said it as if it wouldn't happen after you become an adult." Xu Youyu sighed in annoyance, "A few love letters would always appear in my drawer for no apparent reason, and from time to time someone would add me as a friend on QQ and send me some weird messages."

"…I always feel like you're showing off."

"You're talking as if you didn't say anything." Ying Chanxi glanced at him and said suddenly, "When Hua Xiuxiu sent you the letter just now, she said that there were some things she was embarrassed to say in person, and she didn't know what they would be."

"Oh?" Xu Youyu also became interested. "There is such a thing? You are not an ordinary guy."

"You two are just overthinking."

When they said this, the three of them had already approached the school gate.

At this time, Yan Zhusheng was squatting quietly on the stone steps by the roadside next to the school gate.

She wore earphones in her ears, listening to songs quietly, looking at the scenery of the school streets with a distracted look.

Occasionally, students passing by on their way home from school, regardless of gender, would always be attracted by this delicate face and their eyes would stay on it for a long time.

When Li Luo and the other two appeared at the school gate, Yan Zhusheng's eyes finally focused. His gaze fell on Li Luo's face, and then he stood up.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Li Luo asked.

Yan Zhusheng shook his head: "It takes about the time of a song."

"Can you give me time for a song~" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and hummed with a smile.

Yan Zhusheng tilted his head and sang subconsciously: "Let's hold that hug tightly and make it last forever~"

"Are you two exchanging secret codes here?" Xu Youyu said with a laugh.

"Let's go and buy some food on the way." Ying Chanxi pulled Li Luo's arm, "Your mother called me last night. I told her that we would have dinner at a classmate's house and that she didn't have to cook tonight."

"Oh." Li Luo responded, and then realized, "Why didn't my mother call me?"

Ying Chanxi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Maybe he thinks you're not very reliable."

"…You're almost like my parents' daughter."

"Humph."

The four of them walked out of the school gate and took a taxi.

Li Luo sat in the passenger seat, and the three girls sat in a row in the back seat.

They first took a taxi to Yan Zhusheng's home, put down their schoolbags, and then went to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Li Luo had no intention of showing sympathy to women. He walked in front alone, bargained with the stall owner, and handed the vegetables he bought to the girls behind him. Soon, Ying Chanxi and the other two had their hands full of plastic bags, while Li Luo, who was in front, was empty-handed and wandered around the vegetable market.

"Does Li Luo buy groceries often?" Yan Zhusheng asked curiously as he looked at his skilled appearance.

"His family runs a breakfast shop." Ying Chanxi blinked, a little uncertain, "Maybe he often comes to the vegetable market with his uncle and aunt."

"It seems like Li Luo is really independent." Xu Youyu looked at Li Luo strolling in the vegetable market with envy in her eyes. "Before, when I came to buy vegetables, I didn't dare to bargain with the boss, but he was so shameless as to ask the boss for a bunch of green onions."

"Generally, as long as you ask the boss for it, it will be given to you for free." Ying Chanxi glanced at her and couldn't help but remind her.

"Ah? Is that so?" Xu Youyu, who had little life experience, asked in surprise.

After this trip to the vegetable market, Xu Youyu watched Li Luo's various actions in buying vegetables from behind and recorded them all with great interest.

She thought to herself that now there was something new to write about in the new book regarding the daily lives of the hero and heroine.

Next time, let’s write about the two of them going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables together.

The protagonist also has to ask the boss for a bunch of green onions.

Thinking of this, Xu Youyu nodded with satisfaction, not realizing that she, the protagonist, was becoming more and more like a replica of Li Luo.

After buying the food, the group returned to Yan Zhusheng's home.

After several people carried the ingredients to the kitchen, Yan Zhusheng called the cook and told her to take a rest tonight and not come.

"Let me prepare the ingredients first." Li Luo said, "There are a few dishes that need to be marinated in advance so that they will be more flavorful."

Yan Zhusheng nodded, turned around and walked out of the kitchen: "I'll go upstairs to debug the equipment, and come to record when you're ready."

"Let me help you." Ying Chanxi took down the only two aprons on the wall, put them on Li Luo and himself, and began to take out the ingredients from the plastic bags.

Seeing this, Xu Youyu decided not to trouble them any more and followed Yan Zhusheng upstairs: "Then I'll go visit the recording studio first."

The four people split into two groups. Li Luo and Ying Chanxi stayed in the kitchen, while Xu Youyu followed Yan Zhusheng with curiosity and came to her recording studio.

Seeing the dazzling array of musical instruments on the wall, Xu Youyu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help asking, "Are you collecting all these instruments?"

"No." Yan Zhusheng shook his head. "I know a little bit. When I get tired of playing the piano, I'll switch to another instrument."

"Is this a pipa?" Xu Youyu asked, pointing at a string instrument.

"This is a Ruan, which is very similar to a Pipa."

"What about this? Is this also a musical instrument?"

“This is a Xun.”

"Huh? I thought it was some kind of decoration."

Yan Zhusheng took the xiao off the counter. This thing looked like a ceramic vase with several holes on the body, which could be used to control the pitch like a flute.

In front of Xu Youyu, Yan Zhusheng played a song "Waiting for You to Finish Class" on the xun.

Xu Youyu's eyes lit up. The more he looked at Yan Zhusheng, the more satisfied he became. He could hardly resist the urge to write her into his book.

You can write a female supporting character in the book who loves music to the point of obsession, but has no feelings for love, and becomes good friends and musical confidant of the protagonist.

When he thought of this, Xu Youyu's inspiration started to burst out, and he felt a little excited.

Yan Zhusheng glanced at Xu Youyu and always felt that she looked at him strangely.
