Chapter 10: Surprises at the gas station

Lin Mingyang's addition brought new life to the old Red's gas station, and everyone soon got to know the boy with a smile as warm as the afternoon sun, and also remembered an unknown piece of music that the boy often hummed in his mouth. The brisk rhythm is as infectious as Lin Mingyang's smile, and many customers are willing to hand over their cars to him for cleaning, and by the way, feel the boy's thick voice.

Lin Mingyang didn't notice anything wrong with his way of entertaining himself, and his life continued as always.

As usual, Lin Mingyang came to the gas station early, he changed into his work clothes, and the old Ford car of the old Rader staggered into the gas station, and the sleepy-eyed Rhett stepped down from the passenger seat and said hello to him weakly.

By the time Red had changed his clothes a little hesitantly and walked out of the room, Lin Mingyang had already sent off the first guest this morning with a smile. Yawning, Red walked past Lin Mingyang, and then he heard the familiar song again. "Hey Felix, I'm sure I've never heard this song you sing anywhere else, can you tell me what it's called?"

"www.xstxt.orgeandyou"" Lin Mingyang almost subconsciously said the name of the song casually.

"Are you sure you can find this song online?" Red asked.

"I want to... Probably! Lin Mingyang's tone suddenly became distracted, and the look between his eyebrows was also a little abnormal.

Red didn't pay much attention to this strange answer, he just slipped the little note with the name of the song in his trouser pocket, and it didn't take long for him to forget about it.

This guy Red has no heart and lungs, but Lin Mingyang on the side has been nervous about this matter for a long time, he knows that this guy Rhett usually likes to play games, but he has never heard that he has a hobby of listening to music. Even if he can't find this song on the Internet, he can prevaricate by making an excuse for himself. After figuring out these joints, Lin Mingyang breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that Red didn't mention this matter again, he finally put his mind at ease.

If Red were to really search the Internet, it is estimated that he would really find some problems. You must know that Lin Mingyang has been humming the song "www.xstxt.orgeandyou", an episode in a movie that will only be released in 2006. Red's unintentional act reminded him that if someone asked him in the future, he would have to keep an eye on it again.

Because of the recent rise in oil prices, a long queue soon formed outside the gas station, and this little episode was quickly rushed by busy work, and even the small note with the name of the song in Red's pocket was handed to a truck driver as a note with a phone number, and both parties invariably forgot about it.

This round of oil panic did not last long, with the United States in Afghanistan to achieve a stage of victory, the once high international oil prices fell sharply, it is difficult to wait in line outside the gas station before the phenomenon, life has returned to the previous calm. Maybe it should have ended quietly, but at this time, the unexpected happened.

Since receiving the text message at noon, Lin Mingyang's mood has become lighter, and Jefferson, the "devil coach" in the eyes of the Firefox players, suddenly fell ill, although the condition was not very serious, but the doctor recommended that he stay in bed for a period of time, so the training plans he had formulated for the remaining half a month were all in vain. In desperation, he could only leave the players with a short vacation, and although everyone sent him messages of condolences, no one would really hope that he would get better before the holiday was over.

After training for so long, everyone really needs a period of time to relax, and this news can be regarded as good news for the Firefox players, including Lin Mingyang, so in the gas station, everyone heard the long-lost melody from Lin Mingyang's mouth again.

Rhett has long played the matter of wanting to search for songs on the Internet to the clouds, and recently he has been fiddling with his new mobile phone, mysteriously looking like he is texting with someone, after all, it is someone's private matter, and Lin Mingyang is too lazy to ask.

He was in a good mood while humming the song "www.xstxt.orgeandyou" while seriously wiping a black car. Rhett was playing with his new phone intently, and no one noticed when the blue Buick drove into the gas station. By the time Red reacted, the Buick had already stopped, and he hurriedly shoved his phone into his pocket and greeted him enthusiastically.

Stepping out of the Buick was a strange-looking middle-aged man, who was not busy opening his fuel cap like the other guests, but stood there stunned, as if attracted by something. Red walked in front of him and he came back to his senses.

"Sir, are you ready to refuel?" Red asked politely.

"Hmm... Yes! The man replied a little vaguely, but after saying that, he didn't make any further movements, and still stood there stunned.

"Sir?" Red asked cautiously, knowing that the more bizarre a person behavers, the worse his temper became. At first impression, he classified the middle-aged man into the ranks of customers who are difficult to deal with.

"How?" The "strange uncle" in Rhett's eyes hadn't fully reacted to what was going on, and the expression of displeasure on his face was clearly that Rhett had disturbed him.

"You need to open the tank cap!" Red whispered.

"Oh!" The uncle patted his head, "You see I'm here to cheer, how can I forget about this!" ”

"Sir?" It didn't take more than half a minute before Red's hesitant voice interrupted him again.

"What's wrong this time, I've already opened the fuel tank cap, can I help you insert the tube in?" The uncle said with some annoyance.

"But your gas tank is full!" Red had an innocent expression on his face, and he really wondered if the person in front of him was deliberately teasing him.

"Oh my God!" The uncle gently covered his mouth with his hand, "I forgot to refuel once somewhere else when I came!" ”

"It's not April Fool's Day!" Now it was Red's turn to be a little unhappy.

"I'm so sorry!" The uncle scratched his head a little shyly, then pulled out a $10 bill from his pocket, "To thank you for everything you've done for me, it's yours now!" ”

The other party gave a tip very generously, and Rhett naturally had no reason to refuse, and put the money in his trouser pocket, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"The guy over there wiping the car is your colleague?" Uncle Strange asked seemingly casually.

"He's my classmate, and he's here to work part-time during the holidays!" For the sake of the money, which was easily available, Red easily "sold" the information about Lin Mingyang to the strange uncle.

A lot of useful information came out of Red's mouth, but the puzzled expression on the strange uncle's face became more and more intense, he overheard his neighbor humming a melody of this song, and felt very curious, and after questioning, he learned that there was an interesting teenager at the gas station here. With intense curiosity, he found it, but received an even more unexpected answer.

In order to further answer the doubts in his heart, this strange uncle decided to talk to Lin Mingyang in person.

"Do you need a car wash too?" Lin Mingyang didn't suspect the uncle who came forward at first, and the other party's kind expression even made him feel a little good. But this favor did not last long, because then he heard a question from the other person that he least wanted to hear.

"Can you tell me the name of the song you just sang?"

"Why are you interested in this?" Lin Mingyang put away the smile on his face, he was already wary of the man in front of him.

"I thought I knew something about all music, including pop songs, but I never heard this song you sing, from the melody to the lyrics, it amazed me!"

Lin Mingyang didn't expect this worst result to be met by himself, the other party's words almost blocked all the directions of his defense, he believed that he really met an expert this time. Although there were huge waves in his heart, Lin Mingyang still maintained enough composure on the surface. "Who are you?"

"Kenny Ortega, a director who is not very famous, but whose studies of music are definitely no worse than those professionals!" Her self-introduction was interesting, but what really surprised Lin Mingyang was the name Kenny Ortega.

As the owner of the name said, he is not a well-known big man, but this name has been associated with the opening ceremony of the 19th Winter Olympic Games, and appeared in people's field of vision as the general director of Michael Jackson's curtain call "That's it".

If these are the only ones, it is not enough to make Lin Mingyang have such a big reaction, but this Kenny Ortega also directed a popular song and dance TV movie, and the song "www.xstxt.orgeandyou" that Lin Mingyang sang just now is from the first episode of this series of song and dance movies. The fake Li Kui encountered the real whirlwind, which made Lin Mingyang suddenly have a feeling that he had nowhere to hide.

"I really want to know the name of that song, and if you can provide the lyrics or the score, that would be perfect!" Kenny Ortega rubbed his hands together, a look of longing on his face.

"You really want to know?" Cornered, Lin Mingyang suddenly had a desperate idea, and then he threw out a statement that surprised even Kenny Ortega. "This is a song I wrote myself, called "www.xstxt.orgeandyou""

Lin Mingyang said this, it was determined that this song had not yet appeared at this time, and even its original author had not begun to conceive. Since he couldn't find a suitable reason, Lin Mingyang Suo took his surname, and the appearance of Kenny Ortega gave him a bold idea.

"Felix Lin, an amateur playwright, is also interested in musicals!" Lin Mingyang's self-introduction is obviously a copy of Kenny Ortega's version.

When he heard the word musical, Lin Mingyang noticed that Kenny Ortega's eyes lit up. He no longer seems to doubt whether Lin Mingyang is the author of this song, this is a small problem, and it is not difficult to verify it, the key is that Lin Mingyang's self-introduction also revealed another important information, that is, musicals.

"So you've written other songs, or you've written a musical, and that song is just one part of it!"

"Would you like to read the script I wrote?" Lin Mingyang deliberately made a very surprised expression on his face, which is very in line with the reaction that an amateur screenwriter should have when he meets a professional director. And his just right expression also made Kenny Ortega more and more sure that the boy in front of him would bring a surprise to him!
