"I called you two here today so that you can get to know each other. Xiaochen, Yaoyao is my sister's child, and you and I go to the same school. You can keep in touch if you have nothing to do."

Hearing Aunt Bai's words, Xu Ruochen looked at the senior schoolmate sitting opposite him, and his cheek muscles twitched subconsciously.

"Have you met at school?"

The woman asked curiously.

"No."

Bai Yao, who was sitting opposite Xu Ruochen, spoke briefly and to the point.

With that cold face, he looks like someone who keeps people at a distance.

"I... have seen the senior play basketball. She is very good."

"Haha, isn't that even better? Then you guys chat first, I'll go out and entertain the guests."

"...Okay, Aunt Bai."

"Okay, Auntie San."

Aunt Bai stood up with a smile on her face and walked out of the house.

There were only two people left in the western restaurant box.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Bai Yao glanced at Xu Ruochen opposite her, her eyes slightly moved, and asked:
"Who wrote that song last night?"

As soon as Xu Ruochen heard this, he knew that she had lied about the "meeting between the two of them".

But he still replied politely:

"We're the lead singer of our band."

"Lu Yao?"

"correct."

“…Awesome show, great performance.”

"Uh...thank you, senpai."

"..."

The atmosphere between the two became awkward again.

Just when Mr. Xu was considering whether to send a message to Lu Yao to tell him about this, he heard Bai Yao on the other side continue to say:
"I didn't know this would be the case today, did you?"

"I do not know either."

Xu Ruochen smiled bitterly:
"Aunt Bai called me and said she was here to attend the charity luncheon."

"Me too."

Bai Yao nodded again.

"..."

The atmosphere began to become awkward again.

At this moment, she suddenly asked again:

“Do you have audio for that song?”

"Have."

"In your phone?"

"Ah."

"Pass it to me, okay?"

"Sure. Senior, please turn on Bluetooth."

"Ah."

Soon, the two people's Bluetooth pairing was successful, and Xu Ruochen transferred the MP3 file over.

During the transmission, he thought for a moment and asked:

"Senior...Ask Aunt Bai to call her Third Aunt?"

"Yes, my mother is the eldest."

"what?"

Xu Ruochen was stunned, and seemed to realize something, and said:

"Senior sister, are you from Yanjing?"

Bai Yao glanced at him and nodded:

"How do you calculate the points? If we go by ancestral origin, I'm from Shanghai. But I grew up in Beijing. From what you said, you and Third Aunt should be very familiar with each other... Is your last name Xu? Is it the Xu I know?"

"…How do you know the score?"

"The one who got engaged to Xiaolu, is that you?"

"……Yes."

The embarrassment on Xu Ruochen's face faded slightly, replaced by a hint of complexity.

"it's me."

"...I see, I understand."

"Senior...are you close to Xiaolu?"

"Not good, not even cooked."

"……understood."

He was not surprised, because... from childhood to adulthood, he only knew about Aunt Bai's eldest sister but had never seen her.

Not even once.

The relationship between these three sisters is very complicated and it is hard to describe it in just a few words.

Apart from anything else, this senior is already a senior.

During his four years in college, he never saw Aunt Bai and her together, which shows how distant their relationship was.

"How long have you been in the band? Do you have any other works?"

"We just formed it. In fact, if the school hadn't had a performance, we wouldn't have formed this band. So all in all, it's been less than a month."

Hearing this, Bai Yao's eyes showed a hint of curiosity:
"It's only been less than a month since you formed the group? ... So you don't have any performances anywhere else?"

"No, yesterday was our first time."

"…So what are you going to do in the future? Will you continue to release songs?"

"Well."

Xu Ruochen thought about it and asked tentatively:

"Senior... do you like this song?"

"Ah."

Bai Yao admitted without hiding anything:

"I like it very much. It sounds like the style of Coldplay. There are not many Coldplay-style songs in China, and this song is very comfortable to listen to. Although it is not that hardcore, but... I think both the style and the lyrics are very good. Especially the harmony at the end, it is the finishing touch that elevates the song. From the perspective of arrangement, it is great."

"This...haha. I think so too."

Hearing someone praising his band, Xu Ruochen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Did Lu Yao write this song himself?"

"Yeah, yeah. And it took less than ten minutes."

"...?"

Seeing her surprised expression, Xu Ruochen finally found something to talk about to ease the awkwardness and began to talk incessantly about the band members' thoughts on the creation of this song.

You know what, Bai Yao also became really interested.

Especially when I heard him say that everyone was rather averse to the topic of love, I nodded continuously.

"Yes, that's right. I think so too... But in fact, this is also a market trend. If the lyrics are a little critical, then it is easy for people to pick it up and magnify it. This is also why the first generation of rock people went crazy or retreated..."

"Zhang Chu and the others, right?"

"Correct."

The topic between the two of them really unfolded like this.

After chatting for a while, Aunt Bai came back.

At first glance, I saw two people talking and laughing.

A smile appeared on her lips:
"It's okay, I just came over to see you guys, you guys can chat."

She left again.

Xu Ruochen looked at the door that had been closed again and asked speechlessly:
"Senior... Aunt Bai doesn't really think... that we are... on a blind date, right?"

"That's what she thinks, but it doesn't matter. We can just be ourselves, right?"

When Xu Ruochen heard this, he thought that this senior sister was quite "independent".

Smiling and nodding:
"Yeah. Even though the blind date didn't work out, I'm honored to be friends with a senior."

"what."

The stern-faced senior student also had a hint of smile on her lips.

At this time, his phone rang.

"I'm going to take a call... Hello, squad leader."

"Are you done talking?"

"…Well, it doesn't matter if you're not interested."

"We've said it before, just have fun on your own. There are so many agents out there."

"Okay, you can talk to Teacher Wu about it. As for recording the song... at worst you can just pay for it."

"It's okay. I'll tell Zhao Hang and Zhang Lina that I'll just keep the debt. If the song is paid for, I'll just say I've paid it off. If no one listens, we won't mention it anymore."

"Haha, of course, I'm Xu Dakuang."

"Hahaha……"

"Well...then you have to ask Lu Yao. He can write songs, but I can't."

"No, I contacted him this morning and he's at home. I'm having dinner with...a friend here, I'll go see him this afternoon."

"That's fine, let's contact each other then."

"Well, hung up."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ruochen shrugged his shoulders and looked at Bai Yao's curious eyes. He briefly told her about Wu Mengqi and Chen Pu, and then said:

"Chen Pu is a professional agent who wanted to sign us, but we had no interest in the entertainment industry. So we didn't reach an agreement, but a few of us said that although the party was disbanded, everyone liked the band, so we should continue. Write some songs, release them, and suddenly we became independent music producers."

"If a rock band wants to become famous, it really needs to cater to the market. To remain independent... is difficult. It requires financial support and similar interests."

"Correct."

Mr. Xu obviously understood this principle.

But.

He has no shortage of money.

Money can’t buy happiness.

So he laughed and said:

"Our Master Lu has lots of inspiration and can write a song in ten minutes... If I borrow his time for an hour, won't I be able to come up with five or six songs?"

Bai Yao was speechless.

Even though I knew he was joking.

However, she suddenly asked:

"What kind of person is Lu Yao?"

"He."

Mr. Xu thought about it and gave a summary:

"Genius is not an ordinary person."

"?"

Looking at the curious gaze of the senior student opposite him, Mr. Xu chuckled and started chatting with her.

……

"Ah."

Lu Yao rubbed his nose, and Hu Li handed him a tissue.

Amid the aroma of food filling the room, Lu Yao's high-pitched voice could be heard from the laptop in front of Hu Li:

"Wherever I am, it will always be full of flowers, always full of flowers..."

On the side, Lu Yuanshan nodded:

“Yeah, this song is okay.”

"Hehe." Hu Li couldn't help but laughed out loud:
"Uncle Lu, didn't you see how many people cheered when Lu Yao sang last night... Everyone couldn't help but stand up."

"……Ha ha."

Lu Yuanshan nodded with a smile.

At the same time, he glanced at the toilet paper in his son's hand, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Lu Yao's phone rang.

When he saw it was Wei Qianqian, he took his phone and walked out:

"Hey, monitor."

As soon as Hu Li heard the name, he knew who it was, but he ignored it and continued to watch the video happily.

The video was recorded by the Student Union of Fuhua University. Although the clarity is not as good as professional ones, it is not bad either.

Lu Yuanshan also walked out.

She just watched her boyfriend finish singing in the video, then exited the full screen and started reading the comments on Youku.

"Students from Fuhua University are here to report!"

"Friendly reminder: The most explosive rock scene starts at 13 minutes and 49 seconds."

“The song Flowers is so beautiful, please give me the audio! Does anyone have it?”

"My girlfriend told me last night that the scene was really exciting, but it was a pity that I didn't make it."

"No One Survives - Flowers, starts at 13 minutes and 49 seconds."

"My heart, my heart, the whole building is for rent, every corner is for you. People in the rainbow, how are you... Lyrics of "Flowers", take it if you want it."

"Is this a college band? The songs are pretty good."

Reply: "Yes, Fuhua University New Year's Eve Party. The band No Survivors composed of freshmen Lu Yao, Xu Ruochen, Wei Qianqian, Zhang Lina, and Zhao Hang sang "Flowers"

Reply: "I see, is there an audio link? Can you send it?"

Response: “Not yet.”

"The audio of the petition signed by 10,000 people is available! The female harmony at the end is amazing! The girl looks so pretty too, what a beauty!"

"On audio!"

"Where are the people from Fuhua? Please quickly upload the audio of this band. Baidu can't find this song."

"Copied Coldplay's "YELLOW"?"

Seeing this, she pursed her lips speechlessly and replied:

"Are you blind? This is called plagiarism? You are such a professional, why don't you analyze the audio spectrum and compare it before you speak?"

Then she continued to look down.

I have to admit that the video of this evening party was quite popular, with about 70 or 80 comments.

Of course, he couldn’t compare to other big stars...but inexplicably, Hu Li was very happy.

The corners of his mouth kept rising.

Until Lu Yao walked in:

"The monitor just called me and told me about the agent."

"Well, what did you say?"

"Chen Pu wanted to push us into the entertainment industry, but the squad leader refused. When he saw that we refused, he lost interest. Then we talked to each other and decided to just do what we had said before and have fun on our own."

"Yeah. The entertainment industry is very dirty. It's best not to enter it."

"I think so too."

As she was speaking, Ms. Chen shouted:

"It's time to eat."

……

It was no longer a new thing for Hu Li to come to the Lu family for dinner. After dinner, she would quickly and politely say goodbye, for fear that the couple would notice something.

Lu Yao naturally wanted to send her off.

And plan to go back later.

As for the excuse... I've already thought of it. I'll go to the Internet cafe with Director Zhang.

In the car, Director Zhang heard this request and couldn't help but ask:

"Are you dating someone?"

"correct."

"Fuck! You bastard!"

Obviously, the perennial virgin who had not yet become an experienced foot bather seemed very indignant about his saying goodbye to being single.

But he still agreed to cover up for Lu Yao and said he would call him in the evening, and then they could come back together.

He will also help Lu Yao keep it a secret.

Or maybe this is what brothers are.

As for what the two of them were going to do now... to be honest, Lu Yao hadn't figured it out yet.

While I was thinking about it, Mr. Xu called.

"Hey, I'm done, where are you guys?"

So, the two of them naturally came to the Starbucks on the Hang Lung side, and saw Mr. Xu, who was dressed in a suit and a big down jacket.

The first thing Mr. Xu said after seeing the two of them was:

"You won't believe me if I tell you this, but Senior Sister Bai Yao and I are on a blind date..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

After a moment, he understood the whole story and nodded:
"That is to say... your two families are still related?"

"Yes, but I'm not familiar with her. I haven't even met Aunt Bai's eldest sister... Sister Li, have you met her?"

"No."

Hu Li also shook his head:
"I just know that she is developing in Yanjing, but I have hardly ever met her."

"Okay, but this senior is actually quite nice, and she really likes rock music, so it was fun to chat with her. But... "

"Not your type, is it?"

"Ah."

Mr. Xu admitted it directly and openly:
"She's too cold. Although she's a nice person... her face is like an ice lump. But she's very interested in our band. I promised her that I'll call her when I want to perform... Hey, do you have any inspiration?"

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Yao.

The corners of Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

I thought to myself, that’s what I call inspiration?

It's obviously called plagiarism.

Speechless asked:
"What do you want to do?"

“Make an album.”

Mr. Xu looked very interested:
"One song isn't enough, let's make five or six and release an album. How about that?"

"..."

Lu Yao didn't know what to say for a moment.

On the contrary, Hu Li also became interested:

"I think it's okay. I haven't seen enough of your performances."

As she spoke, she took Lu Yao's arm:
"So handsome! I can't get enough of it!"

In fact, if she didn't say anything, Lu Yao wouldn't bother to think about it.

But now my girlfriend also wants to watch...

He struggled between the future and plagiarism for a thousandth of a second, then nodded:

“Then try writing it.”

After all... there are still a lot of things to copy.

After finishing a cup of coffee, the three people with nothing to do simply went shopping in the mall.

Until Xu Ruochu called.

When Xu Ruochu heard his brother say that the three of them were together, he was stunned at first, and then, for some reason, he subconsciously wanted to go over.

Xu Ruochen was also a little puzzled.

My sister doesn’t really like shopping in the mall. Except when she needs to buy something specific every year, most of the time she won’t waste her time on such meaningless things.

But he didn't think much about it and just came.

So, soon, the four of them met on the third floor of the mall.

"Sister Chu."

"……Um."

Looking at Lu Yao who greeted him with a smile, Xu Ruochu's eyes were slightly evasive, but he still responded.

Then he asked Hu Li:
"You want to buy clothes?"

"Let's take a look and buy some sportswear."

Lu Yao doesn’t wear expensive clothes, so her taste has also started to become “cheap” recently.

So, the four of them went straight to the sports area. It happened that the sports area was connected to the outdoor area, and Hu Li's eyes suddenly lit up.

The winter RV trip is about to start. If Sui Wei hadn't gotten engaged, she might have just taken her boyfriend and left.

"Come on, let's pick out some outdoor clothes so we can go on a trip next time."

So, four guys who were obviously incompatible with the term "outdoor" began to move around in outdoor specialty stores such as Arc'teryx and The North Face.

Xu Ruochu had no interest in outdoor clothing at first, but... Lu Yao bought a dark grey windbreaker.

Hu Li thought it looked pretty good.

He also matched himself with an orange windbreaker.

The styles of both of them are exactly the same, except that there is a difference between men and women.

After Lu Yao finished shopping, Xu Ruochu thought about it and took out a black windbreaker.

She is different from Hu Li who always dresses casually. She always looks like an urban beauty and pays more attention to calm colors like black when choosing clothes.

After changing into a full set of windbreaker, she walked out and stood in front of the mirror.

Xu Ruochen rubbed his chin and said:

"Sister, the color is a bit too dark."

Hearing this, Xu Ruochu said nothing.

Instead, he stood in front of the mirror, his eyes falling on Lu Yao, who was wearing dark gray and trying on shoes in the mirror.

He is gray.

I am black.

"Let's take this one. I think it's pretty good."

She said.

As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and took a selfie in the mirror.

But in reality, there is an inclined angle.

The angle was tilted, and Hu Li in the mirror was completely separated.
