Chapter 117: Birthday Preparation
After leaving Fu Junlin's company, Lu Yan first went to the shopping mall at Xinjiekou to figure out what to buy for his girlfriend's birthday.
After he was thirty years old, he basically didn't buy gifts for women much, and usually gave red envelopes.
But not now, he has to carefully pick one to show his sincerity.
The most important thing is that this is the first birthday he gave Ruan Xiaoxiao, which is very memorable.
Ruan Xiaoxiao's birthday is September 5th, and she has been celebrating the solar calendar. But at this time last year, the two had not yet established a relationship, and the girl did not say anything on her birthday. Now that we're together, it's going to be an important holiday.
However, Lu Yan has never had much talent in buying gifts for women, so he knows that there is a "cure-all", so he went to the mall a few times and didn't see a few favorites. On the contrary, I think that the style of women's bags and clothes is weird, and it is still a simple atmosphere of men's models.
It's almost noon, so I have a casual bite at the nearby food court and head to school.
As we pass through an underground passage, a melancholy melody is heard. A wandering singer with long hair was playing the guitar, and the people around him were hurrying and did not stop to listen.
Lu Yan didn't care at first, but when he passed by, he couldn't help but stop.
The singer's voice is good, the lyrics are also good, and there is a bit of a "rest of my life" feeling, but there are many differences. But the meaning of the expression is similar, full of regret for love.
Lu Yan stopped there, listening to others singing, thinking that it was his own emotional experience.
There are too many regrets, and too much missed is too much, which has long made him numb.
Although he is in his early twenties, he has a heart that is nearly forty years old. Although he admired Gao Jingwen and liked Mu Yunrong, he chose the most simple and worry-free Ruan Xiaoxiao.
Without him, I don't want to bother, I don't want all kinds of heartbeats, noisy .......
But this also made him less and less like a young man.
There is no nervousness when I liked Gao Jingwen at the beginning, nor the gains and losses before confessing to another girl in college in another time and space, let alone doing some "crazy" ......things.
People don't mistreat teenagers, and people don't fool teenagers...... Thinking of this, I was a little sad for a moment.
He was so mature and steady that two girls once said that he was a person who could give people security, but he was slightly boring.
Although Ruan Xiaoxiao hasn't talked about it, she should have thought about it!
Lu Yan suddenly felt that this birthday, he should get some surprises. It's not as simple as eating, giving flowers, and buying gifts.
Thinking of this, he turned around and walked out of the passage to Gulou East Street, wanting to go there to buy a guitar.
But I didn't think about it, I didn't know anything about the guitar, and nine times out of ten I was going to be pitted.
Then I thought about the classmates I knew, and there seemed to be a boy named Li Li in the class who could play the guitar, and he was usually very low-key, the kind of boy who was very literary and artistic.
Although Lu Yan is the squad leader, he doesn't have much contact with this person, so he can only be regarded as a nodding friend.
Considering that learning to play was also a problem later, I still dialed Li Li's phone. This person had just finished eating at noon and was about to go to the library to read a book.
Lu Yan was not polite, and directly made a request, asking Li Li when he had time and wanted him to accompany him to pick a guitar.
Li Jiao was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "As long as it's not class, it's okay at any time!"
Lu Yan said: "Then I'll go to the school gate to find you, and we'll take a taxi later!"
"Okay!"
Li Jiao is of medium height, has a tepid personality, and is unhurried in his work. Lu Yan waited at the gate of the school for a while, only to see this person coming slowly.
"Why does the squad leader suddenly want to buy a guitar?"
"I want to learn to practice a song!"
"What song?"
"This needs to be kept secret for the time being, so accompany me to buy a guitar first!" he waved a taxi, hurriedly got in the car and went to Gulou East Street.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" said Li Jiao unhurriedly.
"Time is tight, the task is heavy, take care of it! By the way, can I pay the tuition!"
Li Jiao smiled, his expression was gentle, "That's not necessary, just have a meal!"
"If you can't express sincerity for one meal, let's do it one meal a day!" Lu Yan was anxious, but he couldn't find a more suitable candidate.
Although I don't know what Li Jiao's teaching level is, he still plays well. At last year's series of opening parties, this one played and sang a song on stage, which was very well received.
The taxi soon arrived at the musical instrument street, and the two of them advanced to the larger piano shop in front of their house. Before entering the door, Li Li first asked Lu Yan what his budget was.
"Within five thousand, you can't be too secondary, just mid-range!" Lu Yan didn't know much about it, but he knew that Li Li's guitar was very good.
The one nodded slightly and said: "About five thousand, a mid-range all-single piano can still be found, but you have to negotiate the price!"
After entering the piano shop, Li Jiao didn't ask Lu Yan's opinion and started his own "performance". Asking for the price, trying the piano, bargaining, and going to several stores in a row, it took the price of 4,009 to help Lu Yan set a full single piano.
After swiping the card, Lu Yan pocketed the guitar and carried it on his back before saying, "How long does it take for the guitar to be fast?"
Li Jiao stood in place, thought about it very seriously, and said: "If you have no foundation at all, it will take at least a month to play some songs with complex melodies, how long do you have?"
"Five days!"
Li Li turned his head to look at the boss and asked, "Boss, I want to retire ...... now!"
Unexpectedly, the chubby boss hurriedly said: "Hey, once sold, it will not be returned, you have tuned it!"
Lu Yan said: "Don't retreat!" and said to Li Jiao: "It's okay, it's okay to practice!"
Li Li glanced at Lu Yan, "You have to fiddle with it casually, just buy a plywood for a few hundred yuan!"
Lu Yan smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, you can't help good things!
Li Li was helpless, and took the car with Lu Yan back to school first.
The campus is large and has a lot of green areas. After the two entered the campus, they found a gazebo. Li Li first talked about music theory, and then asked Lu Yan how much he remembered.
"I remember it all!"
Li Jiao was stunned for a moment, asked a few questions casually, and when he saw Lu Yan answering, he was surprised: "No wonder you can skip class and take the first place in the whole department, you have such a good memory, why don't you study physics, chemistry, biology and other research disciplines, maybe you can become a big scientist, what is a Nobel Prize?"
Lu Yan smiled, "Everyone has their own ambitions! Teach me the technique first, I have a tight time and a heavy task!"
Li Li didn't hesitate, and explained and demonstrated to Lu Yan very seriously, and practiced climbing the lattice.
The latter has a super memory, just like Zhang Wuji, who has practiced the "Jiuyang Divine Skill", and learns everything very quickly, and he seems to be practicing after a while.
Li Jiao had an expression of half envy and half surprise, and said, "In the past, you really had no foundation?"
Lu Yan smiled: "Of course it's zero foundation!"
"I'm looking forward to seeing how far you'll be in the next few days!"
