CHAPTER XXII

Gangnam, Bong'ensi Road.

Lu Li bought eight cups of coffee from the café across the street, packed them in two sets of bags, one in each hand, and carried them back to the Star Hill building.

Now he lives like a life assistant, not a personal bodyguard.

The fans at the door are not very familiar with Lu Li, but they still know that he is Li Zhien's bodyguard.

However, because Lu Li has always been cold-faced, it is difficult for them to talk to Lu Li.

Entering the elevator, the car rose all the way and took Lu Li to the practice room for rehearsal.

After entering the practice room, two people took the initiative to come up, took the coffee from Lu Li's hand, and then distributed it to everyone.

Li Zhien came behind Lu Li, took his coffee with his own hands, and then glanced at Lu Li with satisfaction.

After a short break, the rehearsal continued.

Zhao Shenghao's hand is not good yet, so today he is a substitute drummer.

Li Zhien knew very well that Lu Li would not agree to play again, so he didn't mention it to him.

And Lu Li sat next to him and listened calmly, his eyes slowly swept over the musicians and Li Zhien below.

"Sea ...... Who is drowning in the waves...... Like that written on the beach all acquiesced ......"

"Do you want to come down a little bit at the end? The lyrics are acquiescing, and it feels like a bland ending would be better. ”

Singing and singing, the composer next to him suddenly spoke.

Li Zhien thought for a moment, and then raised the microphone again.

"Give it a try."

"Sea ...... Who is drowning in the waves...... Like that written on the beach all acquiesced ......"

Another paragraph came down, and the final tail note slowly descended, which was indeed more meaningful.

But after listening, I always feel that something is missing, and I can't connect with the content behind.

Because the latter part is the climactic paragraph, the sudden overlap will seem a little abrupt.

After Li Zhien finished singing, he tasted it carefully, then shook his head and raised his hand to signal.

"One more time."

"Sea ...... Who is drowning in the waves......"

It ended again, this time Li Zhien's voice did not drop as low as before, and a little trill was added at the end.

"How was this time?"

Li Zhien, who felt similar, looked at the band and asked.

"Well, I think it sounds better a second time......"

"I still like the No. 1 ......"

"I'm ...... No. 2"

The band members expressed their positions one after another, and Li Zhien counted the votes, and it just happened to be a tie.

"Hmmm......"

Li Zhien was entangled for two seconds, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Li, who was sitting on the very edge.

"Lu Lixi, which one do you think is better?"

Lu Li sat on the side, listening to the song intently, but he didn't expect Li Zhien to call himself at all.

I was stunned for a second, and then I reacted.

The surrounding band members also turned their heads to look at Lu Li at this time, he knew music theory, and Li Zhien's song happened to be sung to the fans of Hong Kong City, Lu Li, a Chinese man, had an innate advantage over them.

The bodyguard who was sitting quietly on the side thought for two seconds, and then raised his head calmly and looked at Li Zhien.

"I think number two is a little better."

"Okay, number two......"

Li Zhien immediately agreed, then lowered his head and began to record it in his notebook.

This "Night Letter" was translated into Chinese and sung, because it was unfamiliar, so Li Zhien wanted to record the details to remind himself.

The rehearsal continued, and Lu Li, who was sitting next to him, also began to pay more attention to Li Zhien, quietly watching her sing.

Unconsciously, the expression on Lu Li's face was no longer so cold.

…………………………

After the rehearsal and leaving the singing room, Zheng Hante came over and prepared to send Li Zhien home.

And Li Zhien just said a word to Zheng Hante, who turned his head to look at Lu Li, who was waiting at the intersection, and then nodded.

Li Zhien came to Lu Li's side and said softly.

"Let's go."

Lu Li didn't say anything, his face returned to his previous cold appearance, and he walked silently in front of Li Zhien.

After coming downstairs, there was a group of fans waiting here, waiting for Li Zhien who got off work.

Lu Li first scanned the fans to make sure that there was nothing unexpected.

But he was only halfway through it, and Lee Ji-eun walked out briskly from the side and began to greet the fans.

So Lu Li kept up with Li Zhien's pace and made sure that she was within one meter of him.

Li Zhien's throat was obviously a little tired because he had been rehearsing from the afternoon to the evening, so he just waved his hand silently.

Lu Li has been watching quietly from the side, maintaining his ice cube face, completely competent bodyguard.

But suddenly, Li Zhien stretched out his hand and pulled the hem of Lu Li's clothes.

Lu Li didn't understand a little, but he still turned his head to look at Li Zhien.

Looking at Li Zhien's gaze, Lu Li seemed to understand something, so he lowered his head, and Li Zhien immediately stood on tiptoe and whispered something in his ear.

Li Zhien wanted Lu Li to help her pass the word, because she needed to protect her throat after rehearsing for too long.

Lu Li hesitated for two seconds, and then silently agreed.

After listening to what Lee Ji-eun said in his ear, he straightened up and began to repeat it loudly to the fans in front of him.

"Because of the long rehearsals, I can't speak loudly......"

"Let's all go home quickly......"

"Eat on time......

"Scattering ......"

When he heard Li Zhien's last sentence, Lu Li's expression changed drastically, and he was about to relay it immediately, but he stopped all of a sudden.

Turning his head, he looked at Li Zhien helplessly.

And the latter was still simple, and raised his hand, signaling Lu Li to hurry up.

Lu Li suddenly felt a little headache, but he still stood up straight, and then looked at everyone.

"Hey."

While Lu Li said this, Li Zhien next to him raised his hand above his head and made a big heart.

After Lu Li finished speaking, he immediately turned around, pulled Li Zhien, and hurriedly left this place of right and wrong.

Zheng Hante also followed behind the two slowly, with a faint smile on his face.

I got in the car and left the Star Hill building and came onto the main road.

Li Zhien sat in the back row, the smile on his face was still undiminished, and his eyes stayed more on Lu Li who was driving the car.

But the car had just driven out not far when the mobile phone in Lu Li's pocket rang.

It wasn't a bell, but the vibration was very noticeable, especially in the quiet of the car.

Lu Li quickly reached into his pocket and pressed the volume button, and the vibration stopped.

Then he took his hand out and continued to drive as if nothing had happened.

But suddenly, Li Zhien's voice sounded.

"I'll pick it up for you."

Lu Li frowned slightly, then glanced in the rearview mirror.

"No need."

The expected cold attitude, but Li Zhien did not give up and continued.

"What if something is important? Won't the caller be in a hurry? ”

Lu Li subconsciously wanted to deny it again, but he still deduced who would call him at this time.

So Lu Li took out his mobile phone from his pocket and quickly glanced at the name of the caller on the mobile phone screen.

Lu Haochen

Lu Li hesitated, it stands to reason that Lu Haochen is with his little girlfriend in the afternoon, and there should be no problem.

But his nephew's mood had just collapsed two days ago, which made him a little uneasy.

After hesitating for two seconds, Lu Li still handed the phone back.

Li Zhien immediately took the phone at lightning speed, for fear that Lu Li would regret it.

glanced at the phone screen, his name was Lu Haochen.

Li Zhien's expression changed slightly, and this name was Lu Li's nephew as expected.

Li Zhien calmed down, then connected the phone and put it to his ear.

"Yo don't stuff it, who is it?"

The unexpected female voice surprised Lu Haochen on the other end of the phone, and he asked in confirmation.

"Is this Lu Li's phone?"

"Yes."

Li Zhien agreed.

"But he's driving right now, so it's not convenient for him to answer the phone."

"Ah......h

Lu Haochen understood, and then said carefully.

"I'm his nephew, and I'd like to ask him when he's back in the evening."

Li Zhien raised his head and looked at Lu Li.

"Your nephew asks when you're going back."

Lu Li paused, and then asked loudly.

"Did your friend go back?"

Lu Haochen on the other end of the phone heard Lu Li's voice, and then replied hesitantly.

"Not yet, I want her to spend the night at home tonight."

Li Zhien felt wrong when he heard this, and quickly turned on the speakerphone, and at the same time repeated his nephew's words again.

"He said his friend was going to spend the night."

Lu Li's expression changed slightly, he thought about it calmly, and then asked seriously.

"Did you stay overnight in your freshman year? Are her parents reassured? ”

Lu Haochen also hesitated before answering.

"She's a boarder, and her home is in Daejeon."

"So his parents don't know?"

Lu Li asked next.

Lu Haochen on the other end of the phone was obviously a little scared, so he carefully agreed.

"Yes."

Li Zhien's expression was also a little embarrassed, she knew that it was this kind of plot, so she didn't mention the matter of answering the phone.

Lu Li thought for another two seconds before speaking.

"You decide this matter yourself, I'll go back later, you don't have to worry about me, I won't let you find me."

"Inner, uncle."

Lu Haochen agreed awkwardly, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.

Li Zhien looked at the broken communication and raised his head to look at Lu Li.

"I don't think I should have answered the phone."

Lu Li, who was still looking ahead, sighed imperceptibly, and then spoke.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have let you hear that."

"It's okay."

Li Zhien said immediately.

"My brother is also a freshman in college."

As he spoke, Li Zhien returned the phone to Lu Li.

The latter silently took the phone, and Li Zhien didn't know what to say at this time.

But suddenly, she remembered something, lowered her head and lit up her phone, and then found Lee Jong-hoon's contact information.

[Lee Jong-hoon, did you fall in love in college? 】

Half a minute later, Lee Jong-hoon's message returned.

[You're crazy, why do you suddenly ask this question]
