Lu You and Li Yu were lining up on the road outside the canteen door with their lunch boxes in hand. As for why they weren't queuing inside the canteen, of course it was because they were queuing all the way outside the canteen gate.
Li Yu stretched out her head, glanced at the almost unmoving queue in front of her, and said in shock: "Oh my god, this queue looks like a queue to collect money. No one came to the canteen to eat in the past few days, but now the queue is so long."
Lu You also took a look and responded: "The instructor said tonight is the last dinner and there will be chicken wings. I guess that's what everyone is here for."
"Damn it! Have these people never eaten chicken wings? Come and line up." Li Yu was full of resentment.
"If you have time to complain, why not adjust your attitude? We're going to sing on stage tonight."
"You still dare to say that?" Li Yu's resentment now overflowed directly, "There are many choruses to choose from, but I just chose the so difficult "Plum Blossom Fragrance Is Still the Same"."
Lu You ignored his resentment and said calmly: "Didn't I lower the key for you? And I didn't ask you to sing Zhou Shen's part. It's already very simple."
"Is this song just a matter of tune?"
"I've been practicing for a few days, and the effect is pretty good, isn't it?" Lu You patted his shoulder and consoled him: "Your voice is relatively deep, while mine is more neutral, and it goes well with this song. Count as 1/4 of the medical and nursing team."
"Why 1/4?"
"I count Zhou Shen as 1/2, and you count as a low-end and broken version of Mao Buyi. One plus and one minus is 1/4. Hahaha!" Lu You couldn't help laughing as he said this.
Li Yu showed a look of disdain, and Mi Tai said: "Come on! You are nothing, Zhou Shen. His voice and skills are much better than yours. How shameless."
Lu You didn't care. Singing was just for fun. How could he be compared to those two professionals? He smiled and said, "It's normal if I can't compare. I don't want to follow their path. I just study hard."
Fortunately, the canteen management staff quickly opened a few more windows, and Lu You and Li Yu were able to prepare meals within twenty minutes.
Li Yu looked at the fried chicken wings in the bowl and commented: "It looks okay, but I don't know how it tastes."
"It's definitely better than the pork here." After speaking, Lu You started to eat.
Thinking of the pork in the canteen, Li Yu fell silent, "Everything you eat is better than this pork."
Lu You looked at him like a fool, "How much does a small meal cost? How much does it cost here? There's no comparison."
"Oh." Li Yu took a mouthful of rice and sighed: "I would rather his food be expensive than eat these things."
Lu You shook his head, "It's not that easy. For us, it may be more than 100 for one meal, but for some people, it is nearly a week's worth of food."
"Are there people like that who can come to Chunhua to study?" Li Yu didn't understand.
"This is not specifically for Chunhua's military training. There are other schools here too. It's impossible for Chunhua to be special just once you come here, right?"
Li Yu came to his senses, nodded and said, "That's indeed the truth."
"Stop talking, eat quickly, and take a shower later. After taking a shower, do some final singing practice and get ready to go on stage."
Then the two of them worked hard to cook.
…
Night came as expected.
Instructor Liu led the team to the canopy training ground. Lu You and Li Yu were still sitting at the front of the two teams. But this time Tang Wan and Xu Nian got to the front of the girls' team, behind Li Yu.
Their battalion performed as a unit, and the above arrangement was to let the military song chorus class perform first, and then turn to other performances.
Even though they started as a company, because many companies chose military song chorus, their performance time was still ranked in the middle.
At this time, before the show started, Li Yu was already sitting upright on the bench without saying a word.
Xu Nian poked his back twice, and Li Yu turned his head, with a serious expression on his face, and said seriously: "What can I do for you?"
Xu Nian looked at him from side to side and asked curiously: "What's wrong? You're sitting so straight before this even starts?"
Li Yu didn't answer, only said, "I want Jingjing, don't ask me who Jingjing is." After saying that, he turned back and continued to sit upright.
Tang Wan looked at Lu You. He was still his usual self, calm and stable, without much change. When no one was paying attention, he quickly reached out and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and then immediately took his hand back, as if he was ignoring what was happening.
The moment Lu You was pulled at the corner of his clothes, his heartbeat accelerated, and the image of Tang Wan pulling at the corner of his clothes suddenly appeared in his mind.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Lu You turned sideways and asked.
Logan stretched his neck and whispered, "What's wrong with him? He seems very stiff."
"He's nervous. It's his first time singing on stage in front of so many people, and he's still adjusting his emotions."
"What about you? Aren't you nervous?"
"Me?" The corners of Lu You's mouth raised, with confidence in his eyes, "Don't be nervous, just sing a song. The two of us have practiced it many times, and I know in my heart what level it is."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wan's eyebrows lowered, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth lowered, showing an unhappy expression.
"I remember someone said that he wanted me to help him hear how he sang. It seems that I haven't heard it until now?"
Lu You was as stiff as Li Yu now, desperately trying to find an excuse in his mind, "This..."
"Okay, you can go on stage and sing well later." Seeing that he was struggling, Tang Wan stopped delving into it, and Lu You also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Speaking of which, do you have a lot of experience on stage? I would panic when I see so many people. In the past, I was required to go up and speak at every grade meeting in junior high school, and I could only stare at the script I had written in advance."
Lu You recalled the scene of her passionate exchanges with others at the paper conference in her previous life, and said to her: "Well, actually, these singing performances are pretty good. No one will rate them, so naturally no one will make things difficult for you."
"What if someone points fingers after you step down?"
"Then you just quarrel with him. If you do what you want, you can do it. I won't take my salary when I go on stage. It's good to perform for you. I'm still being lazy."
"But some people just say bad things about you, and the words are ugly." The memory of being maliciously slandered in junior high school still haunts Logan now.
"Our mouths are always on others, and we cannot change other people's minds. If other people's rumors have caused physical or mental harm to you, I suggest justice be carried out and a wave of money be directly collected."
"What does justice execution mean?" Logan didn't quite understand.
Lu You patiently explained to her: "In school, the execution of justice is to simply tell the teacher, but the teacher ignores it, and then report it. Outside, it is to use the law to punish him. There is no use in swallowing one's anger, it will only make those people He became even more arrogant and spoke unabashedly."
Logan nodded and said seriously: "I remember, I will."
"Oh, and also." Lu You added: "If you get paid to go on stage and still act like a jerk, then it means I can't do it if I can't do it. If you can't do it, don't do it."
Logan tilted his head and asked, "For example?"
"Just look for a TV series with some fresh meat and you'll know."
Not long after the two finished chatting, the military training party officially began. First there was a classic opening speech, and then: "Now we invite the Fifth Company to give us a group chorus of "Country", welcome with applause."
Applause rang out from the audience, and the students from the fifth company followed the team and walked up the multi-step stairs prepared on the stage in an orderly manner.
After the team all stood up, the prelude to the song started.
"One jade mouth in China, one tile roof in a family..."
While singing, he also made sign language. Soon, after the song was sung, the people from the fifth company also walked off the platform.
Lu You's evaluation is that it's okay. After all, most high school students sing in groups and just listen to the sound and say how beautiful it is, which is all false. However, he feels that he is pretty good at sign language.
An hour passed.
Lu You watched the chorus performances of several classes and found that they basically did a complete job, not dry singing. What about holding signs, making gestures, etc. Seeing the crooked appearance, he turned around to chat with Tang Wan.
At this time, a girl in blue military uniform walked up to Lu You and said softly: "Classmate Lu You, it's almost time for you to take the stage. Come with me to get ready."
"Okay, wait a moment." Lu You nodded in response, then slapped Li Yu on the shoulder, signaling him to leave. Finally, he said to Logan: "I'm leaving."
Logan waved his hand and showed a warm smile, "Come on on stage."
…
The two came to the high platform and waited to go on stage. Behind them were other students who were going to perform.
A boy who was about the same height as Li Yu and good-looking came to Lu You, looked at him for a few times, and then said with a charming and confident smile: "Is this classmate Lu You?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" Lu You replied calmly.
"Hello, my name is Shao Ling. I wonder if you have heard of me."
what's up? Do you know my deskmate Meng Yi? Are you two a couple?
Lu You was shocked, but his face remained expressionless as he responded: "I think... I've heard of it."
"I heard that you also sang on stage, so did I. I hope you don't sing too badly, otherwise I will feel that there is no sense of accomplishment in defeating you."
Lu You's embarrassed toes could dig out his own villa, "Yeah...I will try my best...to give you a sense of accomplishment."
"Very good." After Shao Ling finished speaking, he nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left.
"What's going on?" Li Yu looked confused.
"Who knows? I don't know where this strange desire to win comes from. I don't even know him."
"Didn't you say you've heard of him?"
"It seems, just not."
The host's voice came from the stage, "Now we invite students from the performance camp to give us the chorus "Mei Xiang Ru Yu" and the solo "Ruishi". Welcome with applause."
As the applause rang out, Lu You took over the microphone and put on the new microphone cover, and took the lead on the stage with a calm expression. Li Yu took a deep breath, cheered secretly, and followed him.
Lu You stood on the stage and felt the girl's eyes burning. Li Yu also found that most of the eyes were on Lu You, and he felt much more relaxed.
A deep and melodious prelude sounded.
Li Yu picked up the microphone and eliminated the distracting thoughts in his heart.
Li Yu: "The falling flowers make the plum garden drunk, as if life is the beginning. The black hair is dyed with frost smoke, and we go hand in hand to the world."
Lu You: "The beauty has faded in my mind, and the lovesickness in front of my eyes has become messy. Tears hide my vows, but nothing has changed in my life together."
Lu You likes the lyrics "Mei Xiang Ru Yi" very much. He didn't feel much about it at first, but the more he listened to it, the more he became interested in it. When paired with the "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" clip, he never tires of listening to it.
The song reaches its climax.
Li Yu: "In the long night, I can't tell where my return date is, and I wish I didn't know what I care about in my heart."
Lu You: "The moonlight is like water and has wiped out the flashy past. I only hope to leave a trace to depend on each other~"
Hearing Lu You's vibrato and various transitions between real and false voices, Tang Wan got goosebumps. She has watched "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and has naturally heard this ending song. The sadness in the song reminded her of the proud Ruyi and the scumbag Hongli in the drama.
Lu You: "After years of separation, I have never forgotten my old appearance. The fragrance of plum blossoms is clear and light, as if I met old friends in a dream~"
After singing the song, the audience burst into applause. Although most boys have never heard of this song, it does not prevent them from thinking that Lu You and Li Yu sing it well.
Li Yu bowed to the audience and then left the stage. Lu You picked up the microphone and said, "Next, it's "Wishful", please wait a moment."
