Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 6: When in doubt, ask Chunfeng

After the fight...

"Lu Yao."

"what?"

"You're a little different."

"Huh? What do you say?"

"...Although your way of speaking is still annoying, you rarely showed concern for others before."

"is it?"

"Yes."

"So I only have less than three thousand left in my pocket. I'll leave the bargaining to you. Go ahead, Pikachu!"

"..."

Arriving at the door of the store selling imported electrical appliances, Lu Yao pointed at the clerk who came out to greet them, and then naturally walked around behind Wei Qianqian.

The squad leader was left to the smiling clerk, blocking the gun.

Wei Qianqian, who was still holding the last bite of ice cream, twitched her lips...

Fine.

I was merciful just now. If I had known earlier, I would have stabbed you to death with a sword!
……

"Handsome guy, please give me a discount. We are both students, and we don't have that much money in our pockets. Since I am so cute, how about this? I won't let you suffer a loss. 2100, 2100, I'll take it, no ticket required, okay?"

"…Beauty, 2800, it really can't be any lower. This is the best massage pillow in the world, with 16 functions. If you buy it back and give it to your uncles and aunts, they will definitely feel very comfortable~!"

"I know. People say filial piety is priceless. It's only 700 yuan cheaper. Okay? I'll give you the money now."

"...Beauty, the original price is three thousand five hundred!"

"That's right, 700 for dad and 700 for mom."

“…No, I really can’t sell it.”

"Well... I'll give you an extra 50. Is that okay? Handsome guy, my brother and I saved up this money after working for a month. Do you think it's okay?"

"This……"

"Handsome~~"

"I……"

"Brother~~"

"..."

"Please~"

"...The lowest price is 2300. It can't be any lower. My purchase price is 50. I only make . Is that ok? Just consider it as my filial piety to my parents."

"…Then let's go with 2250."

"..."

Lu Yao, who watched the whole tug-of-war, kept nodding in his heart.

Sure enough, the squad leader is an expert.

Not only is he a great piano player, but his knife skills are also very sharp when it comes to chopping people's ankles.

Well, it's a wolf.

After giving the money, Wei Qianqian's eyes were full of "Come and praise me".

"How about it, am I awesome?"

"hard!"

Lu Yao gave a thumbs up and gave sincere praise.

If it were him, he would probably buy it right away when he heard that the price from 3500 was reduced to 2800.

"Class monitor, you are really a good dunker."

"……what?"

Wei Qianqian was stunned:
"What the hell?"

"It's a compliment to you anyway."

"Hehe~"

The girl really looked happy.

Full sense of achievement.

Then he seemed to remember something and said:

"By the way, after the results are out, my parents are going to hold a graduation party, so remember to come."

"Okay. What do you want to report?"

"Well……"

Wei Qianqian thought about it and shook her head:

"I don't know. I want to apply to Huazhong University of Science and Technology."

"...?"

Lu Yao was stunned.

After thinking for a while, he asked:
"Aren't you going to study piano?"

"..."

Wei Qianqian didn't reply.

After getting off the elevator with Lu Yao in silence, he said:

"Maybe... who knows. Where are you going now?"

"Go home, my dad is back today."

"Oh~~Okay, I'll leave too."

At the entrance of the mall, Wei Qianqian smiled and waved:
"See you at school."

"Well, see you at school."

After watching the monitor leave, Lu Yao called out to Wei Qianqian who was already on the electric bike:

"Monitor."

Wei Qianqian looked at Lu Yao in confusion:

"what's wrong?"

"I just asked you if you were going to further your piano studies, and you seemed... not very happy. Is everything okay?"

"..."

Wei Qianqian was stunned, her eyes full of surprise.

Obviously it was Lu Yao's problem that was unexpected.

But after a few seconds, she suddenly laughed out loud:
"Hehe~ No, it's just that I don't like playing the piano. That's my parents' wish, so if I had to choose, I would definitely choose bioengineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. But my talent tree seems to have gone astray. I received an admission letter from Bard College of Music two days ago... Hey, I'm so confused, should I continue to learn piano or learn what I want to learn... It's so annoying..."

As she spoke, she waved to Lu Yao:
"I'm leaving."

"okay bye."

Lu Yao nodded...but immediately called Wei Qianqian again.

"Monitor."

"……what?"

"..."

Looking at the girl who turned her head again, Lu Yao said:

"Just, remember..."

"With great power comes great responsibility."
After Lu Yao said the classic line from Spider-Man, Wei Qianqian smiled and nodded:
"I got it."

"No, that's not what I'm talking about."

Lu Yao waved his hand: "Then let's say it in Chinese: When in doubt, ask the spring breeze."

Wei Qianqian was stunned and asked subconsciously:
"What if Chunfeng doesn't know?"

"Then follow your heart~"

"..."

A few years later, the outstanding young pianist stared at Lu Yao blankly for a moment...his eyes softened again:
"Well, I see."

She waved her hand and didn't look back this time.

……

When I got home, the house was quiet.

The bedroom door was not closed, and Lu Yao saw his father snoring in bed.

Mom is not here.

I think he went to buy groceries for his dad.

I guess he was worried about his son, so he definitely wanted more necessities for living on a truck, such as instant noodles and canned food.

As it turns out... Lu Yao really did forget to buy these for his dad.

I was just busy buying a massage pillow.

It’s really expensive.

I hope this massage pillow is as good as the instructions say.

He quietly placed the massage pillow on the coffee table. Having nothing to do, he took out the basketball that had been in the corner for a long time.

When he started, Lu Yao was in a trance...

To be honest, he was a fan of Iverson when he was in high school.

After all, he is 2 centimeters taller than Iverson.

Theoretically, he is definitely better than Iverson.

But after working in my previous life, I slowly began to like Kobe.

Iverson and Kobe are the two greatest players of their time, and Kobe is Jordan's successor.

So after going around in circles, Lu Yao felt that he could be on par with Jordan.

I haven't exercised today.

After hitting the ball twice, he felt his blood heating up.

He took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator, opened the door and went downstairs.

Although the facilities in the old community are outdated, there are still basketball courts.

He came to the sidelines, patted the ball, and stood in front of the three-point line.

Jump and shoot.

His soft touch made the three-pointer turn into a beautiful arc the moment he shot it out...

"Bang! Crash~"

Compared to the friction sound of the nylon net, the sound of the basketball hitting the basket made of iron chains is more pleasant.

Lu Yao, who was still posing as if he was throwing a ball, couldn't help but say sorry to the AI ​​in his heart:
"Sorry, AI lovers, I cheated. I shoot like Kobe Bryant... even the misses are so cool."

……

4: p.m.

Lu Yao returned home, sweating profusely.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a bulging suitcase bag.

Turning around, I saw Chen Aihua leaning on the sofa converted from a folding bed, enjoying the massage from a massage pillow.

"Mom, are you feeling good?"

Chen Aihua gave a thumbs up.

Lu Yao smiled slightly:
"That's good. This is for Dad. He will take it away later. You should enjoy it while you can."

"...You have no conscience. Am I your stepmother? Am I not worthy of your respect?"

Chen Aihua snorted.

Lu Yao smiled innocently and walked into the bathroom.

When he came out wearing a pure cotton T-shirt and black sweatpants, Chen Aihua, who was sitting on the sofa, brightened up:
"My son is so handsome!"

Lu Yao nodded:
"Well, Ms. Chen has a good eye."

"Haha, you little bastard~"

"Mom, I'm going to lie down for a while. I have to go to work soon."

"Go."

Chen Aihua, who continued to enjoy the massage chair, responded, but just as Lu Yao was about to enter the bedroom, she said again:

"Your dad asked you to smoke less."

“…Okay, got it.”

Lu Yao agreed.

……

"Girl, it's almost time, you can go now."

In the crematorium's mourning hall, Xu Ruochu, who had been crying until he was unconscious all day, came to his senses after hearing these words. He looked at his father Xu Guojun, who was wearing a mourning hat, and said with a sad expression:
"Dad...I want to spend more time with grandma..."

Xu Guojun shook his head:

"Dad knows...but you also heard from the master today that your horoscope is Yin, which is incompatible with grandma's...Don't let grandma die with uneasy feelings. Go back, have a good sleep, and come back early tomorrow."

Pure Yin in the Eight Characters refers to a destiny in which all the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in the Eight Characters are of Yin nature.

Generally speaking, the yin and yang of heaven and earth are inseparable and are always in a state of yin and yang balance. Therefore, the fate should be a complementary yin and yang.

But in this world there are always some special times when yang declines and yin prevails.

This was the case when Xu Ruchu was born.

The ancients believed that a pure yin fate breaks the balance of yin and yang, leading to disharmony between yin and yang and the birth of all kinds of evil. Although the fate is different, some people will be rich and powerful, some will bring disaster to the country and the people, and some will be a sign of great misfortune, but no matter what, people with this fate cannot attend funerals.

It's okay during the day, but there may be accidents at night.

You may not believe it, but the rules are the rules.

The funeral rules of the Celestial Empire have been in place for thousands of years and cannot be broken just by a word of disbelief.

Xu Ruochu also understood this truth.

But the tears began to flow out again.

But in the end, she could only nod:
"I understand... I'll leave now..."

Xu Guojun's eyes were full of guilt, but he said nothing.

The relatives and friends around her also knew that the child's fate was the reason why the husband would not let her stay here, and they all spoke to comfort her.

Xu Ruochu acted as if he didn't hear anything. He took off his mourning clothes in a daze and walked out of the mourning hall where the ice coffin was placed.

Friends and relatives who heard the news and came to pay their respects offered words of comfort, but Xu Ruochu responded mechanically and walked out with a sad face, accompanied by several relatives.

After coming out, she looked at the setting sun... and suddenly didn't know where to go.

At this moment, a phone call came in.

"……Hey?"

Xu Ruochu answered the phone with a hoarse voice.

Then I heard a voice coming from the phone:
"Hello, this is the Pudong Bund Public Security Bureau. Last night, a designated driver named Lu Yao registered with us. Are you the owner of Mercedes-Benz AG3301?"

"Uh……"

Xu Ruochu just remembered...

Oh yes, my car...is still with that person.
