Chapter 117 The Eternal Boy
Chapter 117 The Eternal Boy
Arriving at the Golden Voice KTV, Bai Qingxia quickly trotted forward after entering the door, and followed behind Lu Yuanqiu with a stiff expression.
She looked at the dim space and luxurious light inside, and looked at every corner curiously, from the exquisite counter to the smooth marble floor, and then her eyes moved from the floor to the dark blue prismatic wall.
The girl followed the boy into the aisle and looked at herself in the mirror on the door of the private room next to her. Suddenly, the door opened and a drunk man came out yelling. She was startled and hurriedly followed Lu Yuanqiu, lowered her head, and quickly raised her little hands to grab the clothes behind Lu Yuanqiu.
"134..." Lu Yuanqiu muttered the number and pushed open a door.
Cao Shuang, who was waiting inside, stood up quickly, smiled and nodded: "Hello, brother Qiu, sister-in-law... ahem... hello, classmate Bai!"
Being addressed so politely by the bad student in school, Bai Qingxia nodded with a strange expression, not daring to look at the other party. Seeing Lu Yuanqiu sitting down on the sofa, she quickly went around to the other side of Lu Yuanqiu and sat down.
She huddled in the corner with her legs tightly pressed together in black tights, her arm pressed against Lu Yuanqiu's arm, as if she was a buy-one-get-one-free gift from Lu Yuanqiu.
"Oh my god, there are 23 songs in the list, and you ordered them all for yourself?!"
Lu Yuanqiu scanned the screen in surprise.
Cao Shuang scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Brother Qiu, this is not the first time you come to KTV with me, hehe."
Lu Yuanqiu: "Student Bai is coming to a KTV for the first time, so he must let others sing first. Please delete these."
Just as Lu Yuanqiu was about to start, Cao Shuang hurried over to delete the song. At this moment, the girl gently pulled Lu Yuanqiu's arm and said nervously, "You guys sing it by yourselves. I can't sing..."
"How is that possible? Don't you like listening to music?" Lu Yuanqiu said.
Bai Qingxia was embarrassed and muttered quietly: "That doesn't mean I can sing."
Cao Shuang didn't seem to have forgotten his mission for today. While deleting songs on the screen, he turned his head and said with an exaggerated expression: "Student Bai, you probably don't know, but my brother Qiu sings really well! He plays the guitar and sings by himself, which is amazing. If he becomes a singer, what will the Four Heavenly Kings have to do with him!"
"Okay, okay, okay, come on, there's nothing to brag about just the three of us." Lu Yuanqiu rolled his eyes at him.
But it's also a bit funny that Cao Shuang actually consciously blocked out all the swear words when he spoke today.
If it were in the past, he would definitely add a "b" before the word "matter" in the sentence "What else do the Four Heavenly Kings have to do with it?"
Lu Yuanqiu first ordered a song called "Maple". After that, he was moved. Look, I am so good to you. I remember clearly which song you like the most.
He turned his head and looked at Bai Qingxia with a smile and affectionate eyes, but found that Bai Qingxia's attention was not here at all.
She was looking down and carefully picking the crack of the sofa next to her with her little hands. It turned out that there was a one-dollar coin that someone had dropped into it.
Unable to get it out, she bent over and worked carefully on the seams of the sofa.
The smile on Lu Yuanqiu's face froze.
He turned around and sang the first line of the song with a blank expression.
After Lu Yuanqiu finished singing the first line, Cao Shuang clapped his hands in an exaggerated manner. Although he was performing for Bai Qingxia, it must be said that Lu Yuanqiu's singing was indeed beautiful.
Speaking of which, Lu Yuanqiu taught himself to play guitar since the sixth grade of elementary school, but his high school classmates did not know this.
After hearing Lu Yuanqiu singing, Bai Qingxia took out a dollar and turned around to look over.
But she didn't seem surprised.
When they sang the chorus, Lu Yuanqiu put the microphone to her mouth without warning. The girl was stunned, shook her head silently, and shrank her neck to the side.
So in the second half, Lu Yuanqiu sang with gritted teeth and at the top of his lungs.
Although Bai Qingxia did not participate in the entire singing process, she was still in a good mood listening to Lu Yuanqiu singing, and her legs even swayed slightly along with him. It was not known whether it was because Lu Yuanqiu sang well or because she had just picked up a dollar.
After singing several Phoenix Legend songs with Cao Shuang, Lu Yuanqiu finally collapsed on the sofa from exhaustion.
He turned his head to look to the side and found Bai Qingxia sitting there looking at the big screen with a faint smile on her face. Her little head swayed slightly to the music, and the pink hairpin on her head was very cute.
"Bai Qingxia."
Lu Yuanqiu spoke in a deep voice. The girl naturally put away her smile and turned to look at him.
"If you can only come to a KTV once in your life and can only sing one song, would you use this opportunity to sing the song you are best at, or the song you like to listen to the most?"
After hearing Lu Yuanqiu's question, Bai Qingxia began to think seriously.
After a moment, she said, "Best...at it."
Lu Yuanqiu asked: "Which song are you best at?"
This question seemed to have some kind of magic, causing the girl to stare at the swaying light in the private room in a daze.
After a while, the girl spoke as if reminiscing: "I like to sing...it's dark."
After she finished speaking, she raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Lu Yuanqiu, only to find that the young man raised the corner of his mouth, raised his right hand as if he had succeeded, and snapped his fingers behind him.
Cao Shuang, who was standing next to the song-ordering screen, immediately found "It's Dark".
But Lu Yuanqiu put away his smile and became puzzled. He sat up and asked, "I also like this song. You said you are best at singing this song? Why?"
Because... Bai Qingxia's eyes were staring blankly at the young man sitting opposite her.
She knew that Lu Yuanqiu had forgotten everything.
But it doesn’t matter, this is a beautiful memory that belongs to her alone.
After a half-beat pause, Bai Qingxia shrugged slightly, shrank her neck, and smiled, "No reason."
The music started, and Lu Yuanqiu handed over the microphone with an encouraging expression.
Bai Qingxia looked down and took it in her hand.
She held the microphone tightly with both hands and glanced at Lu Yuanqiu. The boy turned his head and gestured to the big screen, giving another encouraging look.
Bai Qingxia seemed to remember something and smiled unnaturally. Her throat moved and she faced the screen.
The prelude paused and the girl began to sing.
"When I was a kid, noisy and willful."
……
Bai Qingxia's singing voice is indeed not very beautiful, but it is still very pleasant. At this moment, she seems to be singing out the eternal boy hidden in her heart with her careful and in-tune voice.
"I fell in love with someone who made me risk my life."
“I thought this was the world I was looking for.”
……
In December of that year, Lucheng experienced its first snow in three years.
In the campus of No. 65 Middle School, white dots were floating in the sky and the temperature was very low. Every student walking in the corridor wrapped himself up like a ball.
"Why can't I schedule my New Year's Day program? What's the reason for signing up late? It's not a large-scale performance, just an internal class activity."
"Lu Yuanqiu, what are you yelling about?! You think this school is owned by your family! I'm the class monitor and I have the final say. If you don't agree, go find the teacher yourself."
There was a noise coming from Class 5 of Grade .
At this time, in the corridor outside, a little girl with long messy hair walked by. She was wearing an old autumn outfit underneath a thin school uniform. She was holding a plastic water cup with many scratches on it and silently turned her head to look into the classroom of Class 5.
