my gilded age

Chapter 10 I'm Free Like the Wind

The First Street in the Northeast is of course the bustling place. This street is right behind the Forbidden City. Of course, this Forbidden City cannot be compared with the one in the capital.

There is a big stage on the west end of the street, and there is a small alley on the north side of the big stage, where all musical instruments are sold.

"Boss, this is cheaper."

"It's not cheap."

"Boss, I'm a student. Students... make it cheaper."

"You student...well, the original price is 680. If you really take it, it will be 600."

"600 is too expensive for me as a student."

"Then how much did you say?"

"300."

"Go away...I won't do your business."

"Boss, I'm a student."

"Your student...who did you learn from? Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun?"

"What does this mean?"

"Dragon-slaying sword, your bargaining is simply..."

"Boss, I'm a student, but I'm also a consumer. Even if I don't want to be a god, you can't entertain me like this."

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, okay?... Otherwise, I'll sell you this one for 200."

"Boss, although I am a student, you can't deceive students. This one costs me 120 at most. Can you give me 200? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"you you……"

In a piano store, the boss was puzzled. How did this guy know the price of his purchase?

Of course...

Of course Bai Shiqiu doesn't know the purchase price, he is just bargaining.According to the rules of the night market, you should kill at least half of the price with the first bite. If you use it at this time... there is no way, a guitar with workmanship and materials must cost 120, right?
Bai Shiqiu is buying a guitar, and it is really useful.

As for vocal music, Bai Shiqiu doesn't have money to sign up for classes, so he has to practice by himself. As for how to practice, he knows how to practice, but if he doesn't have an instrument, how about practicing with tapes?
Obviously not, so buy a musical instrument and be prepared to go solo when the time comes. This is Bai Shiqiu's plan.

If you want money, that's what you do.

After much hard work, Bai Shiqiu bought the guitar for 525 yuan. When Bai Shiqiu left happily carrying the guitar on his back, the boss sat down as if he had collapsed.

"What kind of student is this? In the end, he spent half an hour doing ink with me because of 5 yuan..."

Bai Shiqiu doesn't care so much, now, 5 yuan is still money. When it comes to this guitar, Xingchen's, this brand is still more suitable for him in terms of price, and it is recommended for beginners.

I just took this guitar, but I don’t want to be photographed.

"We Laobai, have we really become literary youths?"

"You, why did you show up? Can I say that you are still haunted?"

"Sorry, my surname is not Nie."

"The same goes for Feng Xiaoqian."

Unexpectedly, he met Feng Ru, the squad leader, and then the daily life of the two people was repeated.

But this time, it seemed that Lao Bai had the upper hand in terms of words.

"Let's not talk about that matter for now. Lao Bai, do you want to talk to me like this and then send me away?"

"So what?"

"Why are you more stingy than that ruffian Cai? At least they will go to the McDonald's store and ask girls what they want to drink. You can come and they won't even let you in..."

"Okay, McDonald's, McDonald's..."

What else could Bai Shiqiu say?The meaning is already so obvious, can you still pretend?
Alas, all my hard work was in vain. Five yuan is not enough for a cup of Coke in McDonald's.

"I drink orange juice..."

Got it!
"..." Bai Shiqiu's expression is really hard to describe.

"Are you in pain?" Feng Ru seemed to notice.

"Yeah, my flesh hurts."

"Haha..." This laughter has a feeling of success.

Nowadays, people who come to McDonald's or eat chicken have other purposes. They are either showing off, or they are trying to hook up with young men and women. Later, the business of Mak's Ken Kee declined, probably because the show-offs moved to another place. After Star Bar, young men and women no longer have time to find partners, so their parents have replaced them to help with blind dates.

So now, Bai Shiqiu and Feng Ru are both young men and women, are they dating?
Silent, dull, just drinking water.

Suddenly, the two of them stopped talking. Bai Shiqiu was thinking about the certainty of the partner, so what was Feng Ru thinking about?

"It seems that becoming an art student is not bad."

"what?"

It was very sudden, just said like this, but how could Bai Shiqiu not hear it?
He immediately said anxiously: "Why do you want to transfer too? No, don't. In fact, it's not easy to get into art schools, especially the famous ones."

Feng Ru looked at Bai Shiqiu deeply, her eyes as complex as her usual, but now, "Do you want to be admitted to Beijing?"

"Of course."

"Then why can't I?"

"It's not that you can't do it, class monitor, but you're pretty sure that your grades will be 211 or 985. There's no need to use this method to get into Beijing."

"According to normal results, if we want to enter Beijing in liberal arts, we need at least 560 points, not to mention Peking University and Tsinghua University. I looked at Beijing Film and Television and China Drama, and they seem to have the lowest score requirements."

"There are many other requirements and the competition is fierce. Thousands of people in the acting class compete for dozens of places. There are only a dozen other directors, screenwriters, etc., like this... Feng Ru!"

Bai Shiqiu finally called her name, "Don't turn around."

In fact, transfer to art students will be confirmed around November, but once you transfer, you will not be able to come back. You just have to make it clear to the teacher now, because the exam for art students is different from the general college entrance examination, so the requirements are different. Even if Bai Shiqiu doesn't do his homework, the teacher won't care about him. Although, the teacher didn't care about him before.

There was still a long time, but Bai Shiqiu was very anxious at this time. He couldn't help it.

"Hehehe..." Feng Ru laughed.

"You don't want to change anymore?" Bai Shiqiu also smiled.

However, Feng Ru smiled and said to Bai Shiqiu: "You are so gentle at this moment, but I hate it so much."

After saying that, the person left, leaving behind the half glass of juice.

Bai Shiqiu sat on the chair and didn't move for a long time, but his mind didn't stop.

He finally understood why he liked Feng Ru.

Of course, this is my first love, no matter how hazy it is, it is still my first love. But I could not figure it out before, but now I understand that this girl is so different.

What Feng Ru wants is freedom. Under the smiling appearance and the tough shell of the female academic, there is actually a heart that wants to break free.

It is the bondage of everything.

Even if it's herself, the boy she likes, that won't work.

　It turned out that the two of them were not inseparable. He liked her, and she had always liked him. It was just that under the appearance and shell, it was difficult for her to express it.

Now that everything seems clear, why did something like that happen in the previous life?
You have already broken free, are you bound by something again?
"Sir, can you take this drink?"

"do not."

Bai Shiqiu came out of his thoughts, don't waste it.

The waiter at Namai Kee looked at Bai Shiqiu several times, and the meaning was very clear:
Even if you are so handsome, haven't you been dumped yet?
This is a waiter.

Bai Shiqiu just looked back contemptuously, and his meaning was very clear.

You know what a fart.

……

Outside the Second Ring Road, on the roof of a residential building, a man plucked the strings of a musical instrument in the wind.

Clang, clank...

Let’s start with the key of D.

Once the decision is made, the vocal practice will begin.

I am as free as the wind~
like your tenderness~
Can't keep~
You push away my outstretched hands~
you go!
It's best not to look back~
Endless drifting~
Desire for freedom~
All the vicissitudes~
Bear it alone~~
I'll give you tenderness~
You refuse to accept~
I'll give you my hands~
Real feelings~
I give you freedom~
The lasting memory~
I give you everything~
But can’t stay~~
I am as free as the wind~
……

I don’t know why, but I suddenly found such a song.

　Thank you all, I really appreciate it. Yesterday’s goal was great~
