Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 180 You, a musical family? (Seeking monthly votes)

The time is approaching evening.

Lin Wei, who hadn't expected to finish everything so quickly, was still a little taken aback.

It wasn't until she went to a music restaurant and bar with Chen Baiyu that she gradually came back to her senses amidst the melodious music.

I had originally planned to work on this for three days.

If we can get it done two days before the full release of the short drama on August 15th, then ride the wave of publicity and help with the publicity work, that's fine.

The result was unexpected.

Arrive and complete on the same day.

Everything was moving so fast, like it was wound up.

It can't be said that this is a bad thing.

It was just that Lin Wei was still a little taken aback.

While thinking.

After taking a bite of a piece of spicy chicken.

Chen Baiyu's words interrupted her reverie:
Are you staying in Suining tonight? Have you booked a hotel yet?

Besides inviting them to dinner and troubling them to make the trip, it's also necessary to ask about their plans and show your concern.

"I didn't book a hotel."

"Before coming to the bar, I had already booked my train back to Chengdu for 7 p.m. tonight."

Lin Wei answered seriously.

She did not book a hotel.

Fortunately, she had planned to ask Chen Baiyu to recommend some cost-effective hotels when she was working in the afternoon, so she didn't book a hotel in advance.

Otherwise, it's completely useless, and there's a penalty for canceling the purchase.

Then we'll really be at a loss for Grandma's family.

As for how to get back to Chengdu to join the film crew, fortunately, she was quite lucky.

There are still train tickets back to Chengdu at 7 pm.

Hear the words.

Chen Baiyu asked no further questions.

Lin Wei, on the other hand, was listening to the music in her ears.

He glanced at the man playing the guitar at the bar counter next to him.

The melodious guitar tunes flowed under the warm lights of the restaurant and bar, carrying a soothing magic.

Lin Wei's gaze fell on the focused guitarist on the stage, and she felt that his not-so-handsome appearance seemed somewhat different at this moment.

So she turned her head slightly to the side.

His gaze shifted to Chen Baiyu.

I said to him sitting across from me, "I feel like people who play musical instruments really have a different kind of aura. Do you think everyone should learn a musical instrument in their lifetime?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Baiyu put down her water glass.

In the blink of an eye.

Under the warm lighting, those deep eyes seemed less aloof than usual.

Instead, it became more gentle.

He watched as Lin Wei picked up the conversation, and followed up with, "That makes sense. So, what musical instruments do you play?"

Upon hearing this question, Lin Wei's lips immediately curved into a sly smile.

Then she leaned forward slightly and answered clearly in a slightly mischievous tone, "Me? I might back out!"

Chen Baiyu paused.

Thanks to his superb body control, he didn't choke on his own saliva, but he was still taken aback by the joke.

He looked at Lin Wei's smug little expression.

Then, slowly picking up on the joke, he said, "Well, I'm a bit better than you; I know how to use air conditioning."

In terms of catching jokes.

He's never been afraid of anyone!
"Hahaha!"

Lin Wei burst into laughter at this joke.

Chen Baiyu looked at her smile but didn't say anything more.

However, the two then joked with each other about "giving up" and "using air conditioning," and developed even more strange and unusual so-called musical instruments.

As dusk approached.

The two had almost finished their dinner.

At this time, the afterglow of the sunset dyed the sky orange.

After glancing at the time, Chen Baiyu offered, "I'll take you to the station; it's not far anyway."

Lin Wei nodded and replied, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."

The two then left the music restaurant and bar.

I walked along the bustling streets at dusk toward the train station not far away.

The evening breeze carried a slight chill.

The wind ruffled Lin Wei's hair.

She couldn't help but look at Chen Baiyu beside her, whose steps were steady and whose temperament was unique.

My mind involuntarily drifted back to what happened that afternoon.

At that time, Chen Baiyu exuded a fatal attraction.

She still vaguely remembers it to this day.

Chen Baiyu remained silent.

He was pondering whether he should start a game livestream after he got home tonight.

The two walked in silence for about ten minutes.

The train station is not far away.

suddenly.

A rhythmic strumming sound came from a small street square not far away.

This immediately attracted the attention of many passersby.

Follow the sound.

At the edge of the square, a young man was holding an electric guitar and playing passionately in front of a phone stand, the speaker emitting waves of sound.

Surprisingly, several musical instruments were scattered on the ground beside him.

There is an acoustic guitar, a hand drum, a set of cymbals and a snare drum for a portable drum kit, and even an electronic piano.

This unusual musical instrument stall is sure to catch your eye.

Chen Baiyu and Lin Wei also stopped in their tracks, like the other people around them who weren't in a hurry, and watched with great interest.

The young man was playing an improvised rock melody.

It seemed to be full of enthusiasm.

at this time.

Two deliverymen, dressed in yellow uniforms and wearing bunny ears, each carrying an insulated box, passed by from the other side of the square, looking travel-worn.

They were obviously just about to deliver an order.

But seemingly drawn by the music, they all slowed down their pace.

One of the older men glanced at the hand drum on the ground.

His eyes lit up.

Then, without hesitation, he put down the insulated box, walked over a few steps, and very naturally picked up the hand drum.

He skillfully struck the drumhead, precisely blending it into the rhythm of the electric guitar.

Another younger deliveryman laughed heartily upon seeing this, his gaze falling on the folk guitar.

He walked over and picked up the guitar.

He casually plucked the strings to test the sound, adjusted the strap, and then joined in.

The clear tone of the folk guitar instantly blends wonderfully with the distorted tone of the electric guitar and the rhythm of the hand drum, making the whole piece of music richer and more rhythmic and street-style.

Obviously.

The two deliverymen once pursued music, but were forced into it by the pressures of life.

Seeing this scene now, it was naturally a spur-of-the-moment decision.

They didn't communicate verbally, nor did they rehearse.

At this moment, there is only music.

The streetlights are just coming on.

Three strangers, a street performer and a food delivery driver, came together briefly through music and put on a romantic impromptu duet.

Some people in the crowd couldn't help but applaud.

Some people took out their phones to take pictures.

This unadorned understanding and passion born from everyday life is particularly touching.

next to.

Lin Wei's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Wow, so cool!"

Chen Baiyu smiled and nodded when she heard this.

to be frank.

He even considered taking out his phone to record the scene and then posting the video online with the title "Your rider is participating in a music performance!"
While thinking.

His gaze had just swept over the electronic piano, which looked somewhat empty under the light.

As he pondered what to do after taking Lin Wei to the train station, he went home.

Suddenly, I heard a system notification.

【drop! 】

That familiar mechanical sound.

It exploded in his mind without warning.

[A chaotic surge of music theory has been detected! A 'resonance and harmony field' spontaneously formed by mortal life forms has been detected!]

As a listener to all things, a deconstructor of the essence of music, and a venerable [returner of all laws], the resounding echoes of improvisational music theory permeating this place call for your resonance!

[Temporary Mission: "Improvisational Concerto: Order in Disorder" has been triggered!]

[Task Requirements: Immerse yourself in this 'resonant and harmonious field,' using the 'instrument of order' (piano) as the core, to infuse this mundane concerto with the initial overture of 'the sound of all things'!]

[Time Limit: Before the current melody ends.]

[Task Reward: 400 Experience Points]

[Task Evaluation: Go! With your fingertips, ring the first bell of the return of all things to their origin! Let the joy of chaos be tinged with the radiance of order!]

The system's task description retains its signature fantastical, juvenile tone, elevating the street ensemble to the level of a "resonant and harmonious field."

They even call the electronic piano a "device of order".

The requirements are clear: Join them and start playing the piano right now!
Upon seeing the reward, Chen Baiyu's eyes immediately lit up.

Four hundred experience points!
Who does the father-in-law want to kill?

The system's sincerity moved him.

So his gaze immediately locked onto the electronic piano.

He wasn't actually lying to Lin Wei.

Chen Baiyu really doesn't know how to play the piano, or rather, she has never learned it at all.

He wouldn't have done that until at least this second; he really would have just been enjoying the air conditioning.

But, as long as he wants to...

This thing posed no challenge for him at all.

He didn't even need to find a teacher immediately; the remnants of his memory were enough for him to quickly grasp the basics.

next moment.

Countless pieces of knowledge about piano playing, fingering techniques, and music theory flooded my mind instantly.

They didn't appear out of thin air. They were memories of novels he had read, music lessons he had taken, and piano performances he had watched; Chen Baiyu's super brain hadn't forgotten them.

This knowledge is limited, but sufficient.

They are analyzed, organized, and absorbed at an extraordinary speed of thought, and then immediately transformed into almost instinctive muscle memory and musicality.

then.

He'll get it.

I wouldn't say she's incredibly skilled, but at least she can play the piano and is quite proficient at it.

So there was almost no hesitation.

The instant the system notification sound ended.

While the surrounding crowd was still marveling at the arrival of the delivery drivers.

Chen Baiyu had already taken a step forward and walked straight toward the electronic piano placed on the ground.

This immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

"Eh? Mr. Chen?"

Lin Wei was taken aback by his sudden action.

immediately.

She saw Chen Baiyu sit down very naturally on the small folding piano stool, his slender fingers gently resting on the black and white keys.

The movements are smooth and fluid.

His expression was focused and serious.

She was very familiar with that serious look he had before doing things; she had seen him that afternoon.

So Lin Wei's eyes lit up, and she instantly realized what was going on.

She immediately and frantically pulled her phone out of her bag and quickly unlocked it.

Then he turned on the camera and pointed the lens at Chen Baiyu and the piano in front of him.

Even their hearts were pounding because of this sudden "show," clearly indicating that they were quite nervous and excited.

After you are seated.

Chen Baiyu did not start playing immediately.

Since the three musicians did not stop playing because of his arrival, it would take a little while to blend in without disturbing or abruptly interrupting him.

that's it.

He listened intently for less than two seconds, as if trying to catch the current melody and rhythm.

The next moment, Chen Baiyu found a good opportunity.

He moved his fingers slightly.

Despite it being her first time playing, her finger movements were exceptionally smooth and fluid, as if she were a seasoned pro who had been immersed in the craft for decades.

The left hand steadily presses down several root chords in the low register, instantly establishing the foundation of the rhythm, while the right hand nimbly leaps across the keys.

Followed by.

A series of bright notes rang out!

The improvised melody was incorporated into the performance without being abrupt.

He wasn't copying existing melodies; he was improvising!

This was not difficult for him.

His playing was thus cleverly interwoven with the sounds of different instruments.

Sometimes it lightly echoes the folk guitar melody, and at other times it provides full support for the electric guitar.

It might even occasionally add a few playful sounds.

Then, precisely add touches during the intervals between the heavy beats of the hand drum.

At this moment.

The sound of that ordinary electronic piano seemed to be imbued with magic under his fingertips.

He blended in perfectly the moment he joined, and seemed to become the leader all at once, leading everyone around him.

This elevated the street impromptu ensemble to a whole new level.

It instantly elevated it from a pure rock rhythm to a more layered concerto level!
The street performers and delivery drivers, who were focused on their own performances, all turned their heads in surprise to look at the stranger who had suddenly joined them.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

The surprise in their eyes almost immediately turned into delight and even greater excitement.

He is a master!

They only had time to express this sentiment in their hearts, and had no time to say anything more.

However, what I want to say will be expressed in the music.

Next.

The electric guitar's tone became more unrestrained, carrying the excitement of encountering a master; the folk guitar's strumming rhythm became more firm and powerful; the hand drum's patter also beat out the rhythm more energetically...

A silent understanding formed among the four of them.

Music became a medium for communication among the four of them, replacing language and creating a feeling of kindred spirits.

What was originally just a small circle of passersby has now attracted more people on their way home from get off work to stop and form a large circle.

The group looked quite like street performers.

Lin Wei held up her phone from the outside.

The camera followed Chen Baiyu's dancing fingers closely; the instinct of a minor internet celebrity made her subconsciously want to record this unexpected scene.

But for some reason.

She felt her cheeks were burning from excitement.

Or maybe...

It wasn't just because of excitement?
Lin Wei quietly watched Chen Baiyu playing the piano, and a question suddenly surfaced in her mind:
This man...

Is there anything he can't do?

Just a moment ago I was joking with him that he only knew how to use air conditioning, and now he can play such an amazing improvisational piano performance?

Then take into account the rapid editing in the afternoon.

And the archery, marathon, acrobatics, etc. performed in his videos...

Lin Wei felt that this person was like a walking treasure trove, and every time he inadvertently revealed himself, he brought an unbelievable shock.

It's hard not to suspect that this guy really can do everything except give birth.

The evening breeze ruffled Chen Baiyu's hair, the streetlights danced in his focused eyes, and the light reflecting off the piano keys illuminated his slender fingers...

This scene.

Enveloped in the moving melody flowing from his fingertips, it was as beautiful as a scene from a movie.

a long time.

The music ended.

Chen Baiyu smiled and said goodbye to the few kindred spirits she had met by chance, then left the crowd with Lin Wei and headed towards the station.

Lin Wei followed beside her.

While sending the video she had taken to Chen Baiyu's WeChat, she frowned and said with a somewhat cute expression, "You, from a musical family?"

The strange intonation sounded like a deliberate imitation of a Japanese accent.

"low profile."

I only have a basic understanding.

Chen Baiyu glanced at the video he received on WeChat on his phone, then waved his hand.

This time he wasn't overly modest.

He only had a superficial understanding of playing the piano, since he had very little experience with it in his previous life.

It's already quite good that he can combine known information and play music; there's no need to expect him to reach a very high level of mastery right now.

Even if he really wanted to reach that level, he wouldn't need to work that hard.

The afterglow of the setting sun lengthened the shadows of pedestrians.

It also dyed the square in front of the station red.

The melodious strumming of the guitar gradually faded away behind me, replaced by the increasingly clear noise of the train station.

Chen Baiyu and Lin Wei walked side by side through the crowd at dusk toward the station's entrance gate.

In the blink of an eye.

The brightly lit entrance to the train station was now in sight.

Chen Baiyu stopped and stood naturally a few steps in front of the entrance gate.

He turned slightly to indicate that they had arrived at their destination.

"That's enough for now, Mr. Chen."

"Thank you so much today! You worked so fast and well, and you even treated me to dinner."

Lin Wei raised her head, trying to make her tone sound natural and professional.

however.

The moment those farewell words were uttered.

All the experiences that had taken place from the afternoon until now surged into Lin Wei's heart like a silent tide.

Countless images flashed through my mind.

The final scene of her playing the piano, in particular, was so visually and aurally impactful that it made her feel a surge of heat rushing uncontrollably to her cheeks.

Relationships between men and women are never based on pursuit.

Instead, it relies on attraction.

Outstanding individuals possess an irresistible allure that draws countless members of the opposite sex to them like moths to a flame.

Lin Wei vaguely realized what was happening to her.

She seemed to be a little curious about this guy.

And curiosity.

This is often just the beginning.

In fact, she could even clearly feel her ears and cheeks burning.

No! This is too inappropriate!

Lin Wei immediately realized this.

She quickly lowered her eyelids.

She raised her hand to smooth the stray hairs that had been blown against her cheek by the evening breeze, trying to cover up her momentary embarrassment and panic.

"Oh, um! I have to go in right away!"

Lin Wei suddenly spoke faster.

She dared not meet Chen Baiyu's gaze again, only glancing quickly at the front of his shirt.

"The train leaves at 7 PM, so we're a bit pressed for time!"

"Director Hong is waiting for me to bring the hard drive back! This promotional video is definitely going to be a huge hit, I need to go back and prepare for the marketing and distribution..."

The words are not finished yet.

She turned around sharply, as if being chased by something.

Then, dragging his suitcase, he hurried toward the turnstile.

The card swiping and gate entry were completed in one smooth motion.

Lin Wei didn't even turn her head, as if afraid that if she was a step too slow, the calm gaze behind her would catch the blush that hadn't faded from her face.

But the truth is, no matter how she tried to hide, she couldn't escape Chen Baiyu's gaze.

However, Chen Baiyu stood still without making a move.

I just quietly watched that slender figure that was practically fleeing in panic.

Quickly blend into the flow of people inside the station.

Until it disappeared around the corner.

His deep eyes remained calm, but his gaze lingered for a moment in the direction she had disappeared.
