Chapter 18 Happiness
"Good luck today, old wolf please eat chicken~"

Li Sheng rode happily, and the drizzle in the sky did not affect his joyful mood at all.

In the envelope Tan Liu gave him, in addition to the daily salary he deserved, there was also a bonus of 5,000 yuan. For a high school student who has not yet entered the society, it is indeed a huge sum of money.

The small treasury that had been empty was full again. Li Sheng cycled around the corner and headed towards the supermarket. He said to himself: "Buy some high-calorie food for the expiration date, and buy a new pair of shoes. These shoes on my feet were soaked by the rain." It’s a bit unglued.”

A familiar figure appeared in his sight.

Ye Jiaying, who was carrying a cello bag on her back and holding an umbrella in one hand, was being pestered by a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes holding a professional camera.

"Little girl, listen to me. I am really a talent scout. Have you heard of Lehua Entertainment? It is a big company that organizes the most popular idol talent show recently. This is my business card."

The talent scout walked in front of Ye Jiaying in the rain and tried his best to explain: "Your conditions are very, very good. Your body, appearance, and temperament are all beyond the standards. You have a cello on your back and you like music, right?"

One year for trainee training, one year for artist training, one year for artist management, and you can debut and become an idol in three years.”

He was walking so fast that he didn't pay attention to the path under his feet. He almost stepped into a puddle and fell. He quickly stood up and continued to persuade: "Maybe you can't make this important decision in life. You might as well bring my business card and ask your parents to follow me." Let’s talk, you can hire a lawyer or an agent!”

It's no wonder that this talent scout is so flattering. You have to know that there is a gap between "good-looking" and "good-looking".

In the eyes of ordinary people, handsome men and beautiful women will have all the minor imperfections on their faces and the edges and corners of their facial features exposed in front of flashlights and cameras, which is the so-called "unphotogenic"

Ye Jiaying's facial features are extremely delicate, her facial lines are smooth, and her facial three-dimensionality is perfect. She is simply a born star face.

"."

Hearing the word "parents", Ye Jiaying took a deep breath, quickened her pace, and said politely and firmly: "I'm not interested, please stop pestering me, thank you."

The scout's face wrinkled into a bitter melon, and he hurriedly caught up and stopped in front of Ye Jiaying, "But it's really a pity, little girl, what are your conditions?"

"Hey, Old Den!"

The sound of idleness sounded from behind. Li Sheng jumped off his bicycle coolly and walked over with arrogance and arrogance. He glanced at the scout and smacked his lips: "Are you harassing my partner?"

"what?"

The talent scout looked confused. Li Sheng rolled up his trouser legs, looked down at the corners of his eyes, and looked like a delinquent young man on the street.

Ye Jiaying was stunned at first, then smiled, and moved the umbrella slightly with tacit understanding to cover Li Sheng from the drizzle. She leaned gently on his shoulder and whispered sweetly: "Are you here? "

In an instant, the expression on the scout's face became particularly wonderful, as if he were watching a flower being inserted calmly and elegantly into a pile of cow dung, "You guys."

"What are you doing, bring the camera,"

Li Sheng couldn't help but grab the camera, and with one operation, completely deleted the few street view photos that included Ye Jiaying.

Then he threw the camera back to the talent scout, took the business card and read out the name and address on it, "You live in the city, right? Don't let me and my partner meet you again, or I'll beat you every time I see you, and I'll beat you again." I'll go to your house and throw feces on your house, puncture your car tires, and pee in your car's gas tank."

Li Sheng's attitude was extremely arrogant. He stretched out his index finger and poked the scout's chest, "Young master, you are so arrogant in front of me, do you understand?"

After saying that, he tore up the business card with one hand and turned the corner with Ye Jiaying in his arms, leaving the talent scout messy in the wind and rain.

The two people who were running away slowly stopped after leaving a distance, looked at each other, and burst into laughter in unison.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The two laughed for a while, until the rain became heavier, and then they took shelter under the awning of the bus stop.

Vehicles kept passing by, running over puddles on the roadside and shattering the neon reflection of the city in the water.

The dense moisture brought by the rain spread silently. Li Sheng pointed to the cello on the girl's back, "Do you want to go out to learn piano on a rainy day?"

"Come rain or shine." Ye Jiaying shrugged, "Although I don't know what the use of learning the piano will be in the future, I have been studying for so many years and can't find a reason to give up suddenly. By the way, what about you? It's raining so hard and you still go out. ?”

Li Sheng put his rolled-up trouser legs back and said in a relaxed tone, "Me? I'm working part-time."

Beep bell bell.

The phone rang, a call from Mu Yulu.

"Hello, Xiaosheng?"

Mu Yulu's voice on the other end of the phone was a little dull, "I'm in the hospital now - my mother's condition is not stable and she needs someone to accompany her. I can't come to your birthday, I'm sorry." "It's okay, just take care of your mother. .”

Li Sheng comforted softly.

As a friend for many years, he knew that Mu Yulu's family background was not good. Her mother was sick all year round and had constant surgeries, and her father had to work two jobs to support the family.

Li Sheng, who was in a complicated mood, hung up the phone, supported his chin with his palm, and looked at the crystal rain curtain ahead.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Jiaying asked softly: "Today is your birthday?"

"OK."

Li Sheng smiled. This was not the worst birthday in his life - when he was six years old, he made a very pious wish for his parents to appear, so his aunt explained in detail how his father abandoned him.

As if he already knew the answer, he didn't ask Li Sheng why he didn't go home so late. Ye Jiaying stopped shaking her legs and said seriously: "Close your eyes and wait a moment. I'll ask you to open them again."

"Eh?"

Li Sheng, who didn't know why, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of footsteps going away. After a while, he came back again. Ye Jiaying's voice came to his ears, "Open your eyes~"

Li Sheng opened his eyes and saw a 4-inch fruit cake placed on the seat next to him, with candles on it. He must have bought it temporarily at a cake shop not far away.

"Dangdang~birthday cake~"

Ye Jiaying exaggerated in the same tone as when Doraemon took out novel props: "The effect is to make your mood better and make you happy all year long."

She took out a match and lit the candle, then snapped her fingers in front of the stunned Li Sheng's face to wake him up, "Take a photo and make a wish~"

After regaining consciousness, Li Sheng quickly took out his mobile phone, while Ye Jiaying next to him clapped his hands and hummed a happy birthday song for him in a low voice.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you."

Inexplicably, Li Sheng did not take a photo, but recorded a video to record the girl's singing.

"Did you make a wish?" Ye Jiaying blinked.

"Ah."

"What was promised?" Ye Jiaying asked.

"Well, it's better not to say anything."

"??Why?"

"The wish won't work if I say it," Li Sheng explained seriously: "On one birthday, I just blew out the candles and was still saying my wish, but I was kicked out of the mourning hall by the family of the deceased."

"???" Ye Jiaying was stunned for a moment before reacting. She laughed loudly and hit him, thinking he was joking.

Beep bell bell.

In the girl's pocket, a cell phone ringtone rang, and the caller ID read "Mom"

"."

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the liveliness in Ye Jiaying's eyes quickly disappeared. She turned slightly sideways, lowered her head, and answered the phone, "Hello, Mom?"

"What time is it?! You haven't gone home yet!"

A woman's voice, equally clear but particularly irritable, came from the other end of the phone. Even if the speakerphone was not turned on, you could still hear it clearly, "It's almost dark!"

"I'm already waiting at the bus stop"

"Come back quickly! The midterm exam will be in a while. Did you know that there is only one year left before the senior year of high school. If you don't seize every minute at this time, it will be too late to regret it for the rest of your life!"

"understood"

Ye Jiaying slowly hung up the phone, turned around to face Li Sheng, with a bright smile on her face, "The family is urging me, should I leave first?"

"OK,"

Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite. Li Sheng, holding the fork, pursed his lips and said, "Pay attention to safety."
