The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 160 is finally back.
"Uh"

Lin Miaomiao scratched her head. She knew that Wu Xianyu was a good singer, but this was the first time she knew that his roommate was also so good.

When the song ended, the girls clapped and cheered in unison. Chang Shengyan, who was about to request a song, also silently withdrew her hand. Her voice was not shameful after all.

Without being asked, Hu Shuo picked up another microphone and started talking.

"Jun Fei has shown his moves, so let's follow suit. Let's compete in high notes, right? Let's sing Jay Chou's "Stranded" for everyone. Let's have a good time today."

"it is good!"

The other people in the box were very supportive and cheered and applauded.

The song "Stranded" only has a few seconds of high notes, but Hu Shuo didn't ignore the other parts. He deserves to be called the little prince of love songs. He sang the first part with great emotion. Mai Ju couldn't help asking Lin Miaomiao:

"Did this person just break up?"

"Well, not as far as I know. I only know that Liu Xingze failed to confess his love at the beginning of the school year, but it seems that their relationship is still going well recently?"

Lin Miaomiao listened with great interest, eating some fruit.

"I'll be there soon."

Hu Shuo paused for a moment when he sang this song, and everyone held their breath.

"I can only read our dialogue forever, reading the hurt I caused you. I can't forgive myself, so please just pretend that I'm gone!"

"clap clap"

Chang Shengyan was clapping her hands and no longer cared whether she could sing or not. She was so excited now. This competition was so much fun.

Hu Shuo finished, put the microphone on the table, and looked at Liu Xingze and Wu Xianyu.

"Who of you two will come first?

"I come!"

Liu Xingze looked excited and picked up the microphone
"Hey, everyone knows that I am from Guangdong and speak Cantonese. When it comes to high-pitched songs in Cantonese, what can you think of?"

"Pompous! Pompous!"

Chang Shengyan held a plastic clapping machine in each hand and shook it, making a loud clapping sound.

"Oh, Sister Yan understands me, I'll give you a song called "Exaggeration"

Liu Xingze's eyes lit up. It was comfortable to have someone build a step for him.

As soon as the song "Fukua" came out, it's no exaggeration to say that the waiters at the door of the KTV rooms would take a look to see who was so reckless as to order this song.

First it was Cantonese, and then came the high notes that made your throat hurt, but no one expected that Liu Xingze presented them all perfectly. At the end, he even yelled a few strange words and seemed to be having a great time singing.

Returning to his seat, he handed the microphone to Wu Xianyu

"Brother, what song do you want to sing? I'll help you choose it."

"No, I'll do it myself. You guys watch and learn carefully."

Wu Xianyu was very confident. Although he was not sure whether this was the highest level among his roommates, he believed that he could still handle it this time.

Wu Xianyu didn't even try to conceal his voice when he spoke. The other three raised their eyebrows, ready to watch Wu Xianyu's performance.

Walking to the front of the box and sitting on a high stool, Wu Xianyu cleared his throat.
"Well, the heavyweights are the last to go. I appreciate the recognition from my roommates. Thank you."

"Shh~"

Shu Junfei shushed out directly, with a look of disdain on his face.

Wu Xianyu pretended not to hear, slowed down his tone, and looked at Lin Miaomiao.

"Next, the rose given to me by Zhang Yusheng's "The Name of the Rose". In my heart, the name of that rose is - Lin Miaomiao"

“Oh oh oh oh oh!!”

Everyone in the box started to make a noise. Lin Miaomiao blushed slightly, her lips curled up, and she looked at Wu Xianyu without blinking.

The prelude of the music has already sounded. This song is still a bit unpopular, so everyone has fallen silent. As soon as Wu Xianyu opened his mouth, everyone felt their throats dry.

"Roses are passionate but also full of thorns. I feel so familiar with you. How many times have I tried to write a poem to capture your graceful appearance."

Shu Junfei took a sip of his drink, cleared his throat, and muttered
"How can it be so high from the beginning?"

He spoke out everyone's thoughts, but Wu Xianyu's performance continued
".Sometimes I am arrogant and hurtful, sometimes I am gentle and docile. I can only use the most luxurious glass to build a world for you that is not afraid of wind and rain."

The melody gradually rises, but suddenly drops in the next sentence

".As long as I can be with you, I am willing. I am your loyal gardener. As long as I can think of you, I am happy, even if you would rather breathe freely through the stars in the window."

"hiss--"

Hu Shuo smacked his lips
“This lyrics is a bit sinister.”

".The name is memorized and forgotten, the symbol is full of mystery, it was originally in a dream and suddenly it was the Middle Ages, I am like a monk in the church who is abstaining from sex for you"

Each sentence was louder than the last, and everyone felt like they were suffocating just by listening to it.

There were several waiters standing at the door, and someone had already secretly recorded the song with his mobile phone. This song is not common, and not many people can sing it well.

".As long as I can think of you, I am happy, even if you would rather breathe freely through the stars in the window, yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!!"

At the end, there was a long ending. Wu Xianyu straightened up only after the accompaniment had completely ended. Even for him, he needed some strength to sing this song while sitting, otherwise he would not be able to do it.

Looking up at everyone, everyone else was still immersed in the song. Lin Miaomiao's attention was always on Wu Xianyu. When she saw that he had finished singing, she jumped down from her seat, rushed into his arms, hugged his neck, and kissed him directly.

“Ohhhhhhhhhh!!”

Everyone reacted and started to make a fuss again.

After kissing for a while, Wu Xianyu hugged Lin Miaomiao and walked back to their seat, leaving the microphone to someone else.

At this time, Chang Shengyan dared to order a song. After all, if she was almost there, she would still feel a little pressure. But if she was much worse than that, then what pressure would she have? Anyway, she couldn't sing better than Wu Xianyu, so she could just sing whatever she wanted.

"Looking forward to a lucky break, and a shock, what a wonderful encounter, crossing the mountain top and the layers of white clouds in front, where is the green light? It is incredible like an electric shock, passing through my life like a miracle, different from any other meaning, you are the only green light like this"

Sun Yanzi's "Green Light" is a fast song. Chang Shengyan sang it very relaxedly, and everyone cheered very considerately. Someone took the lead and the rest followed.

Halfway through, the KTV staff served everyone several fruit plates, which were gifts from the manager.

After the song ended, Chang Shengyan sat back in her seat, took a sip of drink to moisten her throat, and looked at Shu Junfei beside her.
"What are your voices made of? Don't they get tired?"

"I'm tired. Just drink more water. I don't sing all the time. I only need to sing high notes occasionally. If I keep singing, my voice will be ruined sooner or later."

While the two were chatting, the prelude to the next song had already sounded.
"Na~~"

Just listening to the prelude, it sounds like a very sweet song, but no one has picked up the microphone yet. Under everyone's gaze, Mai Ju picked up the microphone and handed it to Lin Miaomiao.

"Okay, stop being so sweet, the song you ordered is here." "Ah? Oh, I almost forgot."

Lin Miaomiao hurriedly took the microphone, just as the first line of the lyrics

“I’m sure, but I’m not sure yet; it’s just that my heart aches when our eyes meet, and I’ll miss you when I can’t see you; I’ll look for you in the crowd, and when I find you I’ll pretend not to look at you.”

Jin Sha's "The Magic of Love" is a very sweet song. As soon as this song came out, especially when sung by Lin Miaomiao, the atmosphere in the box seemed to turn pink.

Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao with his mouth grinning the whole time, staring at Lin Miaomiao's figure and not willing to move away for even a second.

Everyone sang for the whole afternoon. Even Kanmu sang a song that made people feel calm. This made Mai Ju, who had not noticed her before, look at her a few more times. Then the two of them seemed to have fallen in love and chatted for a long time. At the end, they even added each other’s contact information.

Wu Xianyu stood beside Hu Shuo, watching Lin Miaomiao send Mai Ju to the car, and turned to face Hu Shuo.
"give up?"

"Well, you can see that I'm not her type, so I won't humiliate myself."

Hu Shuo acted very nonchalant, it was just their first meeting and it wasn't an unforgettable memory. He himself couldn't tell whether he was attracted by her good looks or was really attracted to her, but it didn't matter now.

After watching Mai Ju leave, everyone walked towards the school together, chattering all the way, it was very lively.

The next morning, Wu Xianyu packed up his things to take back, carrying his cat bag, and looked at the people in the dormitory.
"When does your car leave?"

"I have a flight soon and the taxi I called is on the way."

Liu Xingze was packing his things. He felt like there were a lot of things he needed to take back with him, but after packing for a long time, he still had no idea where to go.

Shu Junfei was still lying on the bed, browsing his phone and stretching himself.
"I'm not in a hurry. I can get home by any car. My dad said he would come to do some work in the afternoon and take me home when he's done."

"Hey, it's good to be close to home. I can go back whenever I want."

"You're not too far away, you can go back in half a day. Xingzai's dormitory is the farthest from ours."

After chatting for a while, Wu Xianyu saw that the time was almost up, so he stood up and waved goodbye to his roommates.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. See you after the New Year.
"OK, be careful on the road"

"Bye-Bye"

"If you have any questions, please contact me on WeChat"

Pulling the luggage out of the dormitory, Wu Xianyu waited for Lin Miaomiao for a while, returned to the graduate dormitory to take the two cats, and walked out of the school gate. They saw Brother Shen standing next to the car from afar, so they quickly jogged a few steps and put the luggage in the car.

Wu Xianyu handed the key to Brother Shen
"Brother, how long have you been here? Why don't you find a shop to warm up?"

"I was just resting in the milk tea shop next to the car. I came out when I saw you guys coming out."

After hearing what Brother Shen said, Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao both breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the holiday started early, there was no traffic jam in Beijing yet, so the group left the city smoothly and got on the highway.

On the way home, the boring scenery became lively. Lin Miaomiao looked at the scenery outside the window and was in a good mood.

After resting for a while and having a meal at a service area in Su Province, they finally returned home when it was dark. Wu Xianyu asked Brother Shen to drive the car away on the pretext of helping to wash the car, so that he wouldn't have to take a taxi home late at night.

After opening the door, the house was dark. Lin Miaomiao turned on the light and the air conditioner and sat on the sofa.

"Ah~ I'm finally back."

Wu Xianyu took Laotie and Yuwan out of the bag. When the two little ones saw the familiar place, they stretched and walked around the house slowly in a cat-like manner.

The house is very clean. It seems that someone has cleaned it regularly. I guess it was only Wang Shengnan.

After packing up, the two went straight back to their room to rest. After sitting in the car for a whole day, they were already mentally exhausted.

The next day, at Lin Miaomiao’s house.

jingle--
"Hey, here I come"

Wang Shengnan greeted him and wondered in her heart whether Lin Dawei was really old and had forgotten something again.

Ding-ding-ding-ding——
"Don't press it. Why are you in such a hurry? What did you forget? Hey, when did you come back?"

Wang Shengnan, who was already a little angry when she heard her doorbell being pressed continuously, immediately changed her expression when she saw Lin Miaomiao and Wu Xianyu outside the door. She looked surprised, reached out to catch Lin Miaomiao who was rushing towards her, and looked at Wu Xianyu.

"When did you arrive? You're on holiday so early."

"Good morning, Auntie. I got home around 10 o'clock last night. The school had a winter break early and it's been two days."

"Okay, okay, come in, it's cold outside"

After bringing the two children home, Wang Shengnan started to get busy again, getting snacks and pouring hot water, and kept asking them if they were hungry and wanted to eat something to fill their stomachs.

Lin Miaomiao looked at Wang Shengnan with a look of astonishment on her face. In the end, she couldn't help but reached out and touched her forehead.

"Mom? You have a fever?"

Snapped!
Wang Shengnan slapped Lin Miaomiao's hand away and glared at her. This was just right. Lin Miaomiao felt comfortable and lay down on the sofa.

"Oh, why didn't you do this earlier? I'm not used to you doing that just now."

"Humph, you still blame me for being mean to you. You don't feel comfortable even when I'm nice to you once. Do you think I need you to do it a few times before you feel comfortable? Come on, don't hide. I'll let you get familiar with me."

Wang Shengnan, who had a smile on her face, felt her hands itching when she saw Lin Miaomiao like this. She wanted to say a few words and then let it go, but seeing that Lin Miaomiao didn't listen in one ear and leaned on Wu Xianyu with a boneless look, she couldn't help it and stood up and walked towards Lin Miaomiao.

"Hey, mom, mom, I just got back. I haven't seen you for half a year. How can this happen?"

After a while, the atmosphere at home returned to normal. Wang Shengnan sat on the sofa on the other side and listened to the two children talking about their college life with a smile on her face.

Hearing that both of them had good final exam results, she was completely relieved. She didn't expect Lin Miaomiao to get a scholarship. That was Peking University. It would be a blessing to be able to get in. As for getting a scholarship, just forget it.

After chatting for a while, Wang Shengnan got up to go buy groceries. Wu Xianyu quickly pulled Lin Miaomiao up from the sofa and said to Wang Shengnan:

"Mom, let's go together."

"Hahaha, ok, ok, let's go together."

Wang Shengnan was very happy and patted Wu Xianyu's shoulder with a flushed face.

Lin Miaomiao was a little reluctant, but for Wu Xianyu's sake, she changed her shoes and accompanied Wang Shengnan to buy groceries.

Along the way, people who knew Wang Shengnan would ask about the two people beside her. When they heard that they were two Peking University students, they were really surprised.
Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao's blaming eyes and could only smile shamelessly. She already called her mother, it would be bad if he didn't make her happy.

It took them nearly an hour to buy groceries, and when they came back they both lay down on the sofa exhausted.

Wang Shengnan was not angry when she saw the two of them like this. She greeted them
"Don't sleep on the sofa, go back to the room, the bed is made, you'll catch a cold if you sleep outside for a while."

"I know."

Lin Miaomiao responded reluctantly, pulled Wu Xianyu and went straight into her room.

Wang Shengnan glanced at the two people's backs and quickly took out her cell phone to send a message to Lin Miaomiao, fearing that she would be late for a second.
