Back to the prime of life

Chapter 33 Live happily and don’t hold grudges
Young people always like to indulge themselves and revel in the noise brought by alcohol.

After a while, everyone started to get excited as they clinked glasses and chatted with each other at the table.

Lu Changge was doomed tonight. He was not a man who could drink much, and because he had too many social engagements in his previous life, he hated alcohol, so he actually hadn't practiced much during this period.

In addition, today he drank the wine of two people, and with these factors combined, his head began to feel dizzy.

However, unlike most people, he has a warning level for drinking. Once he realizes that he may have reached his limit, he will keep silent.

This went on for more than ten minutes without anyone hearing him say a word.

Tian Ruoxue, who was beside Yin Anyan, reminded her, "Look at Lu Changge. Is he drunk? He's just been sitting there without saying a word."

When the others heard her words, they all looked over. An Yihuan was even more provocative, "We girls haven't fallen yet, don't fall headfirst."

"Old Lu, are you okay? Are you sober?" Qin Jun sat next to him and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Lu Changge took a sip of the yogurt on the table, then explained, "The wine tonight was a bit strong, and I'm a little drunk, but it's okay. Not talking is just my personal habit, not because I'm drunk."

"Aren't most people talkative when they drink? Why do you become so silent after drinking?" Cheng Yongyi felt very strange.

Ai Mai, the Xinjiang girl, said, "We're not just talkative, we usually sing and dance after we've had too much to drink."

Lu Changge didn't keep them in suspense and told them the truth, "I know it's easy to talk nonsense when drunk, so I remind myself not to be a person with such bad drinking behavior. But it's difficult for people to speak normally and rationally when they are drunk.

So, the best thing to do is to say nothing. If you don’t say anything, you won’t say the wrong thing.”

It’s actually a very simple reason, nothing complicated.

"Old Lu, what you said makes sense." Li Ming agreed with him, blushing as he tried to force his way forward with his glass of wine. "Old Lu is definitely a special sight in our dormitory. I have to toast you."

This guy is being mean and mean on purpose, he really deserves a beating.

Seeing him tilt his head back and gulp down another cup, Yin Anyan beside him felt a little nervous. She had no other choice but to hand him some paper and said worriedly, "You're not going to vomit, are you?"

"It's okay." Lu Changge breathed a sigh of relief. He still had most of his rationality.

An Yihuan stood up on the other side and said, "I didn't see any scenery. We're all young people, why worry so much? What's the point of worrying about this and that after drinking? Lu Changge, the more you say this, the more curious I become. I want to see if you can always be rational, or if you're just saying these nice things because you haven't had enough to drink."

Lu Changge was speechless. How could such a little girl have the energy to compete in drinking with others?

Qin Jun saw that something was wrong and said, "No, no, no, this is unfair. Old Cheng has already brought you half of your wine. Isn't it bullying to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out?"

"Then just let him talk," An Yihuan said with a playful smile, raising the corner of his mouth. "Aren't the rest of you curious? What will the calm Lu Changge say when he gets drunk?"

When she said that, even Yin Anyan was a little moved.

Lu Changge said to Cheng Yongyi: "Weren't you the one who took the initiative just now? Take the initiative!"

"Don't talk about him, let's talk about you. This is the first time we've met in the same dormitory. Why are you still trying to control yourself? What's wrong with my poor drinking habits? I have a bad drinking habit, but I'm not afraid of a girl like you, so why should you, a grown man, be afraid?"

This is what Lu Changge requires of himself, and it has nothing to do with whether he is afraid or not.

His style of doing things will not change because of a little girl who has not grown up.

Of course, this situation has to pass.

"Then let me toast you with this glass." Lu Changge picked up the glass.

An Yihuan wanted to speak, but Qin Jun didn't give her a chance. He stood up to help. "How about this, let's raise a toast together, but this toast won't be to anyone else. Let's toast to the youth who are not afraid of making mistakes!"

"Your words sound more pleasant to the ear." An Yihuan secretly stepped on Lu Changge, as a 'retaliation and punishment' for Lu Changge's lack of respect.

But Lu Changge would ignore her.

"Well said! Well said!" The others echoed Qin Jun's words, "Cheers to the youth who are not afraid of making mistakes!"

Wow, everyone was excited now. Tomorrow was the weekend anyway, so they didn't have to think about getting up early for classes, so after this one ended, they all moved on to the next one. Karaoke is always OK!

When they arrived at the singing room, those who were able to move went to order songs, while Yin Anyan took water and took care of Lu Changge.

The lights in the box were also turned on. They were slightly dim but also colorful. The noisy noise made it difficult to hear what people were saying to each other.

Yin Anyan spoke for a few words but he didn't respond, so he leaned over and yelled in his ear, "How are you?"

Perhaps the alcohol magnified the illusion, Lu Changge felt that her nose tip was rubbing against him. When he turned his head to look, in the dim light, he saw the delicate face very close to him.

Her eyelashes are dense and long, swaying gently. When they flutter, they are like the wings of a butterfly dancing lightly in the morning light. Her pupils are deep in color, perhaps as black as ink. Her eyes are gentle as water, like peach petals moistened by drizzle.

How come this girl is so pretty?

"I want to sing!" Lu Changge responded to her loudly.

At this time, Qin Jun was already singing, and he was the first one.

First, there is a reason.

I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I find that this guy's voice is deep and has a sense of emptiness and leisure, which is very nice.

The song they sang was Jacky Cheung's "If This Isn't Love". Maybe because he had been drinking, he was willing to sing, and the others were willing to cooperate with him and even beat the rhythm for him.

Qin Jun must be quite good at singing, and he is comfortable and confident under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

By the second chorus, everyone followed along. An Yihuan walked around the stage, leading Lu Changge and Yin Anyan to sing along. Everyone sang together: If this isn't love, then why should I be sad?

Thank you for your generosity, I deserve it.
……

For the next thirty or forty minutes, Lu Changge rested. Once he'd recovered a bit, he went up to sing a song. Karaoke wasn't about singing for others, but for himself. He didn't want those sad love songs that made him feel bitter and resentful all day long.

He chose a classic song for himself:
Who doesn't have some unforgettable things?
Who can predict the consequences?

……

Who doesn't have some unattainable dreams?
Who has wronged you more than me?
……

A smile has already passed the storm,

Live happily and don't hold grudges.

Sing a song for today's laughter,

Let your heart absorb new joys,
Open your heart in the evening breeze,

……

This song has a slow tempo, a melodious tune and beautiful melody. It is easy to immerse yourself in the situation of the lyrics while singing.

Lu Changge later stood up and sang, waving and jumping with the group of people.

Everyone has different birth experiences. After leaving their hometown and jumping into the sea of people, everyone has their own ups and downs and brilliance from then on.

For him, with his prime years back, he will not hesitate to dwell on the past. Even regrets are a form of growth. Because youth and love never grow old.

At the end of the song, he laughed. It was not a fake smile in social occasions, but a real smile.

Later, everyone urged him to sing another song, and Lu Changge readily agreed. Qin Jun and Li Ming, the two lively guys, came over and put their arms around his shoulders, and this time the three of them sang together.

Then there was a male and female chorus, singing "Lovely Woman", "Marry Me Today" which was just released in August, and of course the classic "Friendship Forever".

By the end of the song, Lu Changge was also confused. He only remembered singing very late.
