Chapter 36: A Sincere Invitation

The library of the Imperial Academy of Arts, located in a relatively remote and quiet corner on the lakeside side of the center of the college, is a ring-shaped castle-shaped building complex, which is not large in scale, but its history is older than the establishment of the academy.

When the Academy was established, it purchased a large number of precious thread-bound books and cultural relics before the new era of the Cape Federation, so it specially demarcated such a building complex with a more classical art atmosphere for the collection of books. Since then, the Academy has continued to enrich its collection of rare books by accepting donations, transfers, and visiting and purchasing.

In addition to the physical wire-bound book collection hall, the treasure cultural relics collection hall, the art instrument exhibition hall, the modern art exhibition hall, etc., the library has also opened a digital library, so that the students of the college can use their own learning recorders or other terminals in the library to access the library network and realize the access of books and materials.

The digital library is taller than several others and is the tallest building in the castle complex.

Although Chen Tao and Chu Lei have come to the digital library a lot, it is the first time they have gone up to the rooftop on the top floor.

I thought that the rooftop should be empty and empty, but after pushing the door open, they found that there was a different scenery on the rooftop.

The simple space separation technique that Chen Tao had seen in the Dumpling Rain Studio was used on the rooftop, dividing the rooftop into relatively independent spaces. Each small space is enclosed in a layer of translucent material. In this small space, there are all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables, melons and vines, scattered, colorful, and beautiful.

Walking into these small vegetable gardens, you will find that the temperature and humidity inside are quite pleasant, and there is no feeling of scorching heat at noon. Chen Tao was secretly surprised in his heart, he had a sense of shame that he had grown up in the art academy since he was a child, but he didn't find that there was another world on this rooftop.

Chu Lei obviously didn't expect that there was such an independent pastoral place on this rooftop, and looked around with interest.

Chen Tao stroked a red and bright pepper hanging on the plant, and said softly: "It seems that your little fish is quite capable." We've never been to this place before. ”

", what do you call my house? It's not like you had to ask me to come out. Chu Lei said depressedly, turned his head to look around, and said, "However, this is indeed a good place." But where the little fish is hiding, we have to find out......"

"Don't look for it deliberately, you listen to ......," Chen Tao shook his head and reminded.

Chu Lei frowned and listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard a very dazzling guitar brilliance.

Chen Tao chuckled and said, "Yo, I play well, and my skills are quite solid." ”

Chu Lei is also a person who knows the goods, and when he heard it, he could hear that the performer's skills were not bad, and pointed in the direction, "It should be over there." ”

The two of them followed the sound and walked over.

After the guitar brilliance, a very characteristic female voice sang with the guitar voice: "The pond in early summer, the lotus fragrance is quiet, I play the guitar, looking from afar, although I am a little scared, but I will not stop, because of you, I have more courage and strength......"

This song is the first song "Careful Thoughts" released by the "Sweet Song Little Princess" Mo Ke after signing a contract with Qihang Entertainment, and her sweet voice sings the careful thoughts of the girl Huaichun.

And the one who sings now has a voice that is not sweet, but his singing voice is clear and clean, and his timbre is very recognizable. Singing this sweet song into a somewhat lazy chant-like tune sounds a little careless, but there is a kind of mind that is about to move.

Chen Tao and Chu Lei have both heard the original song of this song, but now they hear this adaptation, coupled with this very distinctive voice, which has a very personal style and personality, which makes them both feel very interesting.

Listening to the sound of the piano and singing more and more clearly, Chen Tao and Chu Lei could already see a girl with short hair holding a guitar, sitting in front of a few sunflowers with her back to them, and singing in front of a face-sized orange flower pot.

They walked up behind the girl and quietly listened to her finish singing and applauding.

In addition to accompanying Chu Lei to practice dancing near the Huxin Pavilion in the morning, Zhou Xiaokun will spend more free time alone on the rooftop, practicing and singing to the melons, fruits and vegetables, and enjoying this relatively private rooftop space alone.

Immersed in the music, she suddenly heard someone applauding, she was startled, turned back nervously, and saw Chu Lei and Chen Tao standing behind her, only then did she remember her message in the Huxin Pavilion, the corners of her mouth raised a bright smile, put down the guitar and got up to introduce herself: "Senior Chu Lei, Senior Chen Tao are good." I am 'Little Fish', my name is Zhou Xiaokun, one year lower than you. ”

Chu Lei looked at Zhou Xiaokun and introduced himself generously, with a small face with a big palm, beautiful facial features, a short burgundy hair that was neat and neat, a few strands of hair covered his eyes recklessly, and his eyes narrowed into crescents when he smiled, and the brilliance in his eyes made him feel a little dazzling.

He was slightly stunned, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then his gaze deliberately crossed the figure in front of him, landed on a sunflower, and said in a voice without a trace of trembling: "Hello." The song "Careful Thoughts" just now...... It's fun to sing. ”

"Stone, it's really rare for you to praise people. Well, the little sister's guitar also plays very dazzlingly, amazing. Chen Tao caught the strangeness in Chu Lei's eyes, and couldn't help but tease, and then looked at Zhou Xiaokun, a slightly loose vest on his upper body, and his chest was ...... It is a normal development, with a slender waist and a pair of wide-legged sweatpants on the lower body, which is very cool and handsome.

Chu Lei blushed slightly and glared at Chen Tao.

Zhou Xiaokun replied with a smile, "Thank you." ”

Chen Tao saw Chu Lei's unnaturalness, shook his head funny, and took the initiative to chat with Zhou Xiaokun, "Little junior sister, I heard that you wrote 89 love letters to him?"

…… Didn't Xiao Yu'er write 99 love letters? Chu Lei looked at Chen Tao in astonishment. Moreover, how could he have told Chen Tao about this, it was obvious that Chen Tao had read the love letter himself.

Zhou Xiaokun frowned suspiciously, turned his head to look at Chu Lei and asked, "89 letters, what you see is the 89th letter? I should have written the 99th letter before I knew that you like to eat mustard peanuts." ”

"Oh, that's probably my mistake. Chen Tao winked at Chu Lei and made an "OK" gesture behind his back.

Chu Lei instantly understood that Chen Tao was trying to see if this Zhou Xiaokun was a "little fish".

Zhou Xiaokun thought about it for a while, and also understood Chen Tao's intentions, and said calmly: "Senior Brother Chen Tao, in fact, I don't like you very much. I always feel that you have too many thoughts, think too much about people, and don't treat people sincerely enough. ”

Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, scratched his head angrily and funny, and quipped: "I said junior sister, even if you don't want to misunderstand what you mean to me, you don't have to be so direct when you meet for the first time, right?"

Zhou Xiaokun was said to be careful, and simply said generously: "I like Senior Chu Lei's simple and direct thinking, if you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you never force yourself to pretend to like it." Unlike you, although you seem to be very friendly on the surface, and it seems that you quickly become friends with everyone, in fact, you are colder than anyone else. You are someone who is easy to get along with, but difficult to get close to. ”

Chen Tao frowned and glanced at Zhou Xiaokun deeply. No matter who you are, being said like this when you meet for the first time can't help but have a little temper. I really don't know if Xiao Yu'er has a more direct personality or is really stupid.

He raised one side of his eyebrows and sneered slightly: "It seems that you have studied me a lot." That's a bit of a curse. As soon as he said it, he couldn't help but regret it a little. I'm usually quite calm.,Why is there a little weird trouble at this time.。 So, he smiled apologetically at Chu Lei.

Chu Lei shook his head disappreciatively. The relationship between him and Chen Tao could not be affected by a girl who met for the first time. Besides, what Chen Tao said was also what he thought in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaokun nodded frankly: "Yes." Because Senior Chu Lei usually stays with you. The classmates talked a lot about the two of you. ”

"The two of us?" Chen Tao glanced at Chu Lei with a strange expression, and hesitated: "What do you mean, it won't be that the classmates doubt me and Shishi...... It's some kind of shameful relationship, isn't it?"

"Yes. My classmates were skeptical. But everyone said that if the two of you were together, it would be a waste of resources. So I've heard that a lot of female classmates write you love letters, hoping to straighten you up. Zhou Xiaokun said seriously.

Chen Tao and Chu Lei shuddered when they heard this.

How can these elementary school girls always look at the world with the eyes of affection! In their eyes, there can be no real brotherhood between men and men?

It's simply ...... It's infuriating!

Chen Tao blinked at Zhou Xiaokun and said emotionally in a sincere tone: "Little junior sister, your playing and singing skills are very good, so I sincerely invite you to join the new band formed by Shishi, Xu Duhuan and me. ”

Chu Lei was stunned and said in surprise: "Ah, why did you invite her to join?"

"I rub. There are no more women around us, and I guess it won't be long before there are rumors of the three of us getting together at school. Chen Tao patted his chest, as if he had only imagined that he was seriously frightened.

Chu Lei thought about it seriously and solemnly persuaded him: "Little junior sister, you can join us." We're really cordially inviting you to join us. ”

Zhou Xiaokun: ......
