Chapter 4 It's Fate(1/2)
The melody is not considered popular. Even in the graduation season, it is a song that is rarely requested on KTV.
But at this time, other students started to boo.
Tong Wanying blushed again and waved her hands to other students like a bee flapping its wings.
Chu Liansheng didn't care about this at all and took the microphone and tried the sound check.
Then he followed the melody and sang the lyrics.
"Tomorrow will you remember
The diary you wrote yesterday
…”
Just like any reaction to amazing things.
When Chu Liansheng sang the first line with accurate pitch and great emotion, some girls screamed loudly.
The one who didn't say anything also had a "fuck you" expression on his face.
Chu Liansheng dare not say how good he is at singing, but he can at least crush 95% of high school students.
The remaining 5% are those who are deeply involved in music-related majors.
After all, my life of more than thirty years was not in vain.
Maybe he wanted to slap Wang Haiyang in the face at first, but when he actually sang, what Chu Liansheng recalled in his mind had nothing to do with Wang Haiyang.
Once youth is gone, there will always be regrets of one kind or another, just as the song goes.
"The sky was always blue then
The days always pass too slowly
You always say graduation is far away
In the blink of an eye, they all went their separate ways.
…”
Some students followed suit and patted the time gently with their hands;
Some students had red eyes, trying not to shed the first drop of their graduation tears;
Some students looked at Tong Wanying with envy, perhaps thinking that Chu Liansheng sang it specifically for her;
Even Tong Wanying thought so, her face turned red and her heart felt warm.
Only Chu Liansheng couldn't go on after saying "la la la la" because he saw his mother craning her neck at the door to look inside.
Mom looked around with an excited expression, and finally her eyes fell on Tong Wanying, who was sitting next to Chu Liansheng.
Needless to say, I was definitely looking for a possible daughter-in-law, and I looked around and picked the most beautiful one.
The students were still immersed in the slightly sad graduation atmosphere created by Chu Liansheng's singing, but Chu Liansheng stopped singing.
"Sorry, the person in my box came to see me."
After saying a casual word, Chu Liansheng handed the microphone to Tong Wanying beside him and walked towards the door without any hesitation.
Tong Wanying may be a beautiful goddess, but at this moment, she has to make way for the middle-aged goddess at the door.
After Chu Liansheng opened the door, he quickly closed the doubtful eyes behind the door.
The middle-aged goddess Kong Lili was still smiling and saying hello through the small window on the door.
"Mom, how did you find this place?"
Looking at his mother, who didn't have many gray hairs in front of her and didn't have many wrinkles on her face, Chu Liansheng had mixed feelings in his heart.
Only those who have experienced middle age and see their parents when they were young can understand the mood.
Chu Liansheng directly took his mother's arm. Kong Lili didn't expect her son to be so close to her, in front of so many classmates.
The smile on Kong Lili's face became even brighter.
"A waiter came over to confirm if there was anyone in our private room. I called you but didn't answer the call. I thought it might be you, so I came over to take a look.
You sing so beautifully, are you the best among your classmates? In fact, you can definitely develop in this direction in college."
Chu Liansheng thought that the waiter must have received a lot of tips, so he went to confirm it for being so conscientious. As for the phone call, of course he didn't hear it.
Kong Lili was held by the arm and continued:
"You go and say hello to your aunt and uncle and then continue playing here."
Chu Liansheng quickly refused:
"No, it's too intriguing here and not suitable for a simple boy like me. It's simpler over there."
Kong Lili was also amused by her son's joke, but suddenly there was a sound of opening the door behind her, and she saw several classmates coming out, including Tong Wanying.
Then everyone shouted "Hello, aunt".
Seeing that her son's classmates had all come out, Kong Lili definitely couldn't leave anymore. She pulled Chu Liansheng to a stop and nodded in reply with a smile on her face.
After a few high school graduates finished chatting like adults, Chu Liansheng had the opportunity to drag Kong Lili away and go back to box 808.
Different from the students' private room, although there were only two adult men in the 808 room, they were still puffing away.
My uncle is a businessman and he and his aunt have been doing foreign trade business in Handong Province all year round.
I made a lot of money before, but the series of impacts caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007 have increasingly affected the foreign trade industry in the past two years.
This time I came back with the intention of investing in the Mainland.
Chu Liansheng's father's business is not that big.
They just joined a small or medium-sized chain of fast food restaurants, but they were still in business after all, and the two men were brothers-in-law.
When we gather together, what we are experiencing is not loneliness, but human kindness and sophistication.
As soon as Chu Liansheng returned to the smoke, his habit of smoking suddenly started.
This is not physical, purely psychological.
On such occasions, if you don't have something in your mouth, you always feel like something is missing.
I can't even talk to anyone, even though I don't need him to talk about anything.
He raised his hand to the soft China on the table and skillfully flicked a cigarette with his fingertips.
I was looking for a lighter when I was startled to notice my father's surprised eyes and the vague look behind him.
"Dad, stop smoking. Smoking is harmful to your health. You see, you don't have many cigarettes anymore."
As he spoke, he glanced at the cigarette box that still contained more than half a pack, and put the cigarettes back.
He wanted to stuff it in his pocket, but he remembered that his father usually only smoked Jinwan.
Soft China, which is more than twice as expensive, was either bought specially to entertain guests, or it was my uncle's own.
The former is more likely.
When Dad Chu heard this, he laughed:
"You're still here to take care of me, and you're only smoking a few cigarettes."
The aunt pushed her uncle very cooperatively and said:
"Just smoke less."
The big screen also played my mother Kong Lili's favorite song "Women's Flower" with the original lyrics.
Chu Liansheng took a look at the song selection instrument. Good guys, all of them were songs that his mother and aunt liked. It seemed that the two old men didn't order any of them.
This is normal. Someone has to warm up the atmosphere first before the old man comes off and shows off his "Kiss Goodbye" or something like that.
Seeing that neither his mother nor his aunt had any intention of singing, Chu Liansheng didn't hesitate to sit down on the karaoke machine and started to order songs.
Only then did I realize the benefits of "still being a child".
I didn’t sing to my heart’s content just now, but now I can sing it all in one breath.
…………
For two full hours, the ktv atmosphere was enlivened by Chu Liansheng, and finally ended with Chu's father's song "Kiss Goodbye" that has never changed for a century.
The four adults made an appointment to continue to the hotel next door to continue the second half.
But Chu Liansheng had no interest in going there and dazing, or continuing to act like a high school student.
He asked his mother for fifty yuan, and then made an appointment with his classmates to have dinner with them.
But my mother was very surprised when she heard this:
"A bowl of beef noodles only costs five yuan. Are you treating me?"
Although he said this, he still took out a red old man's head from his wallet and handed it to Chu Liansheng.
Mom seems to understand very well why men cannot live without money outside.
Thinking that Wang Ji was picking at the two crumpled ten-dollar bills and suddenly his assets were five times that of his, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
