"Xingge, does your warehouse need so many locks?"
Lin Yue couldn't help but ask the other party.
Xingge had already walked into the warehouse, turned on the lights, and dispelled the darkness in the warehouse.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but turn around and glanced at Lin Yue lightly.
"Of course! This place is used to store some things needed in the store."
"Sometimes bands that come to perform will store their instruments and other things with me. If we don't take adequate safety measures, that won't work."
Xingge answered as if it was a matter of course.
After hearing this, Lin Yue nodded slightly to show her agreement.
It is indeed the right thing to do, and it is said that Ming Xingge is very responsible in his attitude towards the guests.
After all, those instruments in the band, although they are just small instruments, are actually not cheap at all when it comes to price.
Take guitars as an example. The cheap ones can cost a few hundred or a few thousand RMB, while the most expensive ones can even cost up to a million RMB.
So these musical instruments are all valuable items, and Xingge is not wrong at all to treat them with caution.
Of course, Xingge has suffered losses by doing this.
Before she met Lin Yue, she once met a band who left their musical instruments with her.
She didn't care at the time and simply put the instrument in the storage room.
However, as luck would have it, a customer accidentally entered the utility room.
He even accidentally broke the musical instrument that she had deposited for someone else, causing Xingge to not only have to apologize but also pay for the damaged instrument because of her poor storage.
It was precisely because she had suffered these losses that she corrected her mistakes in a timely manner to prevent such problems from happening again in the future.
"By the way, what are you doing here with me?"
When Xingge saw that he had just walked into the warehouse, someone followed him. His heart trembled slightly and he asked Lin Yue hurriedly.
He looked at Lin Yue vigilantly, as if he was guarding against a thief.
Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xingge's eyes.
"Xingge, we are old acquaintances. Do you really need to guard against me like a thief?"
"Are you afraid that I will steal your coffee beans?"
Lin Yue spread her hands and asked Xingge helplessly.
"What?!" Xingge's voice was full of shock and disbelief.
"You really are thinking about my coffee beans!"
When Xingge heard this, an expression of "as expected" instantly appeared on his face.
She hurried to a box of coffee beans and held the coffee beans tightly in front of her like a hen protecting her chicks.
Her arms were spread out like a solid barrier, guarding the precious coffee beans. Her eyes were full of determination and vigilance, as if she was ready to meet any challenge at any time.
Seeing Xingge’s intense reaction, Lin Yue couldn’t help but hold her forehead.
This is too fucking outrageous. How could I, the lord of all the heavens and worlds, care about your little coffee beans?
Lin Yue didn't know where to start complaining, it was too outrageous, so she chose to ignore it.
He looked around the warehouse and saw rows of iron shelves filled with goods.
Everything is neatly arranged, and the functional divisions and classifications are also very detailed.
It was well organized and clear at a glance, proving that Xingge, a woman who looked careless, was actually quite careful when doing things.
"Okay, that joke you made is not funny at all."
"Just do your thing and don't worry about me."
Lin Yue ignored Xing Ge and started to walk around the warehouse which was less than 30 square meters, walking slowly between the shelves.
"This guy!"
"I'm not really here to get anything!"
After Xingge heard this, he murmured.
She finally thought about it and felt that Lin Yue must have known that she was eavesdropping, so she followed her here.
So in the end, Xingge decided to just come clean.
"Okay!"
"Yes, I was eavesdropping!"
Xingge pouted her lips slightly, gritted her teeth and admitted it.
When Lin Yue heard that Xingge finally couldn't help but confess, she walked around the shelf and returned to Xingge.
He looked at her with a playful smile on his face.
"Oh!"
"It seems that our Xingge still cares about his sister very much!"
Hearing Lin Yue's words, Xingge's heart suddenly felt like it was pulled and he immediately became nervous.
"But Xingge, don't you feel it's contradictory?"
"What contradiction?"
"Because my sister wanted to form a band, but you were against it. In the end, you couldn't win the argument, so you set a difficult problem for her."
"After setting the difficult problem, he became very concerned about his sister's every move."
"Logically speaking, since you are against it, shouldn't you just do nothing and let your sister fail the test?"
Lin Yue smiled faintly and looked at Xingge meaningfully.
After Lin Yue pointed this out, Xingge suddenly felt guilty.
"I...I was concerned about her situation. Fortunately, I showed up at the right time to persuade her to give up!"
Xingge quickly found a reason to explain.
When Lin Yue heard this, she seemed to have expected her to say this, so she continued:
"Okay, then the bands that the store has arranged to perform recently are all relatively well-known bands with their own unique styles, plus the PA reminded Hongxia and the others."
"What's your explanation?"
"That's just a coincidence! The band knows about my famous store, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to come and perform here!"
"As for PA, that's just her personal opinion. It has nothing to do with me!"
Xingge's heart skipped a beat and he explained with a pale face.
Looking at Xingge who was still stubborn, Lin Yue spread her hands helplessly.
"I'm really convinced!"
"You have a really hard mouth!"
"I clearly supported my sister in forming a band, and even left her original band to open this live house, but I had to deny my support verbally."
"You are really arrogant!"
Seeing that Xingge refused to listen, Lin Yue felt helpless.
So he didn't plan to beat around the bush and told her everything he knew.
Chapter 426: Placing Dreams on Sister
When Xingge heard Lin Yue's words, his heart suddenly stopped beating for 0.001 seconds, and then quickly recovered.
Thump thump!
Then, her nervous heartbeat became abnormally fast.
A look of panic suddenly appeared on his face.
In order to support his sister's dream of forming a band, he left his original band and opened the current live house to support his sister's dream.
She had never told anyone about this.
Now she didn't expect that Lin Yue actually saw through it.
This was something she never expected.
Such a secret matter was actually discovered by a seemingly cynical rich kid like Lin Yue.
When she told this to others, she found it a little unbelievable.
But the facts were in front of her, and Lin Yue's look of certainty and confidence proved that the other party was very confident.
So it was difficult for Xingge to deny it even if she wanted to.
"How did you know?"
In desperation, Xingge's face fell and he asked Lin Yue with a sigh.
Seeing that she was no longer hiding it, Lin Yue put on a faint smile and replied, "Because it is the truth, I know it."
"Not only that, I also know that you place your dreams on your sister."
"I want my sister to stand on the stage, shine and let her own light shine."
"Like..."
Lin Yue paused here and didn't say anything else. Instead, she looked at Xingge, as if she would continue the next words.
Xingge also saw what Lin Yue was thinking, his brows drooped slightly, and he opened his mouth helplessly and said:
“Just like the name of this store, STARRY, it shines like stars in the sky.”
When he said this, Xingge couldn't help but have a mist in his eyes, as if he was thinking about the past.
She slowly moved her seemingly fragile body toward the neatly stacked boxes.
With the support of the box, she raised her head and looked at the white ceiling.
Under the bright light, Xingge seemed to see the scenery in front of him flash, and scenes from the past appeared.
But soon, in a flash, she was pulled back to the ceiling of the warehouse.
"Hey, Lin Yuejun, do you think I'm an unfilial daughter?!"
Suddenly, Xingge asked Lin Yue softly.
"In the past, because of the band, I neglected my mother and Hongxia, and our relationship became strained."
"It was not until her mother passed away that Hongxia was so sad that she stopped going to school."
"It was then that I woke up and realized how heavy the burden was on me. I realized that in addition to the band, my family was more important in my life!"
"Then I started paying attention to my younger sister Hongxia, cleaning her face and combing her hair, and taking her to watch my performances."
"It was also on that day that Hongxia fell in love with the band and practiced drums tirelessly."
When he said this, Xingge moved his gaze down and looked at Lin Yue in front of him.
"Because of my mother's passing, I took on the responsibility of taking care of my sister, but my energy was limited, so I had to choose between my sister and the band."
"In the end, I chose the most important relatives who realized it last."
“I left the original band.”
"But I won't give up!"
Xingge clenched his fists, as if some regret was welling up in his heart.
After she clenched her fist tightly for more than ten seconds, she relaxed.
"In the end, I saw a bit of myself in Hong Xia, so I wanted to support her."
"Although I support her, I don't want her to regret her choice today in the future."
"That's why I thought of setting up this obstacle to test her."
"But I never thought..."
