"Brother, do you have a girlfriend?" Xu Chunya suddenly interjected seriously.

I was stunned for a moment, but before I could respond, Wang Yan answered, "What do you mean? Have you taken a fancy to Brother Yue?"

"Don't talk nonsense, how can I be worthy of brother? Xu Chunya smiled embarrassedly: "I just thought that if brother doesn't have a girlfriend yet, I can introduce my cousin to him. My cousin is very nice..."

"It's just annoying you." Wang Yan interrupted her: "I haven't dated a date yet, so I hurriedly introduced a date to others, what's your business?"

"Who said I haven't had a date yet?"

"Have you been with? With whom?" Wang Yan noticed Xin Dalu looking at her.

"Is it up to you?" Xu Chunya also gave him a blank look.

The two of you were choking on each other, and Ling Guo, who hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly sat next to me and asked me in a low voice: "Our school has a benefit performance on New Year's Day, are you interested in being a guest performer?"

"Ah?" I was taken aback for another moment, not understanding that their performance in a school had nothing to do with me, and they could ask me about it.

Seeing the puzzlement in my eyes, he then explained: "The student union mobilized students to raise donations for out-of-school children in impoverished mountainous areas, but they were afraid that everyone would be rebellious, so they changed the form and organized a campus charity performance, and then sold tickets. , drinks, snacks, fluorescent sticks, flowers, etc., and then donate the money earned. This charity performance is not only for the students of the school, but also people outside the school, such as starlets in the entertainment and sports circles.'”

"Oh." I understood, although I was surprised that he could invite the little stars in the entertainment and sports circles with me, but that's all.

"What?" His surprise was quite obvious, he frowned and looked at me and asked, "Is it because I'm not interested or playing big games?"

"What big cards am I playing? I don't even have cards." I glared at him.

"Then you are not interested? Look down on this charity performance? Disdain to help out-of-school children in impoverished mountainous areas?" He looked contemptuous.

"Stop hating me! I haven't been on stage for almost ten years, and I'm not used to it." I accidentally slipped my mouth, and then quickly interrupted: "Who else will go?"

"Lian Li, Fan Zheqi, Du Hongyu."

Lian Li and Fan Zheqi are well-known singers in this city, and Du Hongyu is a figure skater in this city. They are also very face-saving.

"They all go to the past time, don't they?" I told the truth.

Ling Guo smiled and nodded, "I'm quite familiar with them."

"Are you in the student union? Which department?"

"External Relations Department."

"Oh! It's really appropriate to put you in this department. I thought you belonged to the Department of Literature and Art."

"The Department of Literature and Art is also looking for me, but I don't want to go. The External Relations Department has many excuses to leave school to do business. It's convenient for me to skip class."

"Is it? I said that I skipped class when I met you in the past time, but you still don't admit it."

"It's not an honorable thing, what is there to admit?"

"Then how dare you admit it now?"

"Isn't this... wanting to invite you as a guest?"

"Then I have to think about it. If you are willing to accompany me, I can still consider it."

"I can't do it, I haven't played for many years." He refused.

"Forget it." I also refused.

"Yue! Great Lawyer!" He stared, obviously changing his mouth after swallowing the word "Jiao", then gritted his teeth and said, "Well... I'll talk about someone else, will you go?"

"Who?" I looked at him, wondering where he was going to move out.

"This charity performance is hosted by Xu Shihao."

"No!" I glanced at him angrily, and my attitude became more determined.

"Am I asking you not to go or is he going and you not going?" He looked as if he would not give up until he reached the Yellow River.

"You invited him too?" I looked at him fiercely.

"No, I don't know him. He was invited by the Minister of Sports. They know him well."

"I won't go if he goes." I turned my head away with a cold face, and saw Yue Yang, Wang Yan, and Xu Chunya didn't know what they were talking about, they were chatting together and didn't pay attention to our side.

"Then..." Ling Guo seemed to think about it for a while, and then said bravely, "Shall I accompany you?"

I turned around to look at him again, not understanding: "Why do you insist on inviting me? Your school temple is too big, but my Buddha is too small. No, I'm not even a Buddha. Why should I go?"

"Didn't you just say that you would go if I accompanied you?"

"I said it can be considered."

"Then have you considered it? I promised to accompany you."

"Hiss..." I was in a dilemma. Although I didn't say that I was so sure that I would go as long as he accompanied me, but it was almost the same meaning. Now that he said he was willing to accompany me, I said I would not go. Xu Shihao hosted the show, I really don't want to go.

"Why are you still hesitating?" He bumped my leg with his knee: "It's not that you are required to pay, what kind of car do you take when all the stars are gone? Besides, this is a good thing to dedicate love to the society. Can it be higher?"

"Are you finished?" I couldn't help but stare at him: "Is this a matter of my enlightenment? I will pay you even if you ask me to take the money directly. I think I am not qualified enough to be a guest."

"Guests are not VIPs. Why are there so many restrictions? Besides, you broke up so many families a year, so you should do something good to atone for your sins."

"Can you be a little more sincere?"

"If I'm sincere, can you agree?"

"That depends on how sincere it is."

He looked at me, bit his lip, then slapped his thigh and said as if to fight: "In addition to accompaniment for you, I also dance for you!"

"Are you dancing?" My mind suddenly lit up like a light, over dancing?What could that be like?As long as he has long arms and legs, he can play basketball and dance like a marionette?It's rather curious.

"Can you agree this time?" He looked expectant.

"You really dance?" Why do I think he doesn't look like someone who can dance?

"What's real or fake? Isn't it just dancing? If you're not afraid that I'll affect your singing, I'll just dance."

"That's fine." I smiled: "I promise you, I'll see how embarrassing you will be then."

"Thank you, Lawyer Yue." He let out a sigh of relief, and then stood up: "It's almost dawn, I'll sing a song."

"Hey!" I stopped him and asked angrily, "Can you tell me that brother can die?"

"You can't die." He said as he walked towards the juke box. "Back teeth."

"Cut!" I glared at him angrily, picked up the Coke and took a few more sips.

Ling Guo clicked "Do you know I'm waiting for you", the accompaniment sounded, he raised a microphone, and sang to the big screen:

Inexplicably I like you deeply in love with you

no reason no reason

Inexplicably I like you deeply in love with you

From the day I saw you

When these few lines of lyrics were sung affectionately from his mouth, I suddenly had the illusion that he sang them to me. Although he kept his eyes on the big screen and never looked at me, this This feeling is very strong, so strong that I feel sick.In fact, this is not what I hope for. It is precisely because I don’t want it that I am afraid of this feeling, and I am so afraid that I feel a little nervous or even flustered.

So when he started to sing the chorus, I deliberately made trouble for him, trying to ease my strange emotions.

Do you know that I'm waiting for you

if you really care about me

"Don't tell your dad." I grabbed another microphone and sang along with the music.

The people next to me laughed suddenly, Ling Guo stopped suddenly, and stared back at me. I thought he would not sing any more, but I didn't expect to wait for the line "How can I let the endless night accompany me?" After the accompaniment music passed, he began to sing again: "Do you know that I am waiting for you? I kicked your father."

This time the people next to him laughed even harder, and Yue Yang even blew a whistle, waking up two of the people who fell asleep on the sofa.

I didn't bother him anymore, so he insisted on finishing the song, but he changed the words after each line of "Do you know I'm waiting for you", laughing so hard that his classmates cried.

When the song was over, everyone in the private room woke up.Seeing that the time was almost five o'clock, Wang Yan said to Yue Yang: "I think it's almost the same, we should find a place to have breakfast, and then go back to the dormitory to sleep, or we will not be arrested when we go back to school in time for exercise." If so many of us don’t come home at night, we will be punished easily.”

"Okay, after eating breakfast, I guess I can go back before 06:30." Yue Yang greeted everyone: "Pick up your things, let's eat breakfast!"

There is an early morning shop on the street outside the KTV. Don’t look at it before dawn, it’s already open. Steaming steamed buns are stacked on the stove at the door. Passers-by in twos and threes either walk into the early morning shop or stand at the door. Buy it and take it away.

At the end of December, it was early morning again, and it was quite cold outside. Everyone huddled into the small facade of the breakfast shop, gathered around two tables, and ate breakfast lively.

When we came out, a free taxi happened to pass by, and Wang Yan stopped one, and those people got into the car with him when he came, and left without waiting for us.

Several other people got into my car, and when we were on the road, Ling Guo said to me: "Put me down when the time passes by later."

I glanced at him, before I could speak, Yue Yang asked for me first: "Aren't you going back to school?"

"I won't go back. I have something to go home today."

"Are you really celebrating your birthday?" Xu Chunya still hasn't forgotten this.

"Fart!" Facing this topic, Ling Guo still had the same attitude as yesterday.

"Then you won't come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Yue Yang asked again.

"Well, it's the weekend anyway, why go back?"

"Isn't it almost New Year's Day? Is the school okay? You didn't say you were asked to act as an assistant..."

"It's done." Ling Guo answered him in three words.

"Ah...then...well. You don't see anyone on weekends, really..." Yue Yang sighed in disappointment.

Yue Yang, how lonely are you?I glanced back at him, because he was sitting behind the co-pilot this time. "Come to my company to play on weekends." I told him.

"I'm not going." He gave me a ungrateful look. "What's the point of your company? Don't talk about fun, you can't even speak loudly, you're suffocating."

"Then go and stay at my house by yourself, watch TV and surf the Internet."

"It's not interesting, besides, it's not like the dormitory can't access the Internet."

"That can't help you, I don't have time to go to school with you this weekend, I have to..."

"You don't have to come to accompany me every weekend." Yue Yang interrupted me and sighed: "No, I'll go play with Wang Yan and the others. I heard that they are going to watch the basketball game tomorrow, but... I really don't like it. Sports competition."

"Then come and play with us." Xu Chunya answered, "Let's go shopping tomorrow to buy New Year's gifts."

"Hey? Really?" Yue Yang became interested, and immediately nodded: "Okay! I also want to buy New Year's gifts."

"I don't care who you buy it for, and I don't care what you buy it for, except for mobile phones." I interrupted.

"Got it, got it." Yue Yang responded impatiently twice.He has already exchanged two apples, the bastard may spend money!
