Chapter 3: Ugly

After returning home.

As soon as he finished dinner, Wu Xing received a call from Li Yuan.

"Old Wu, are you going to eat at night?"

Tomorrow is Saturday, and Wu Xing rarely agreed to Li Yuan's proposal to go out together at night.

After taking a shower, Wu Xing rode his family's small electric car and drove towards the nearby commercial street.

Looking at the location sent by Li Yuan's kid on the phone, Wu Xing was silent.

Drink coffee at night, this kid is sick!

After parking the car, Wu walked into the coffee shop.

This coffee shop has a lot of character.

The store is huge, and there is a singing stand in front of it with singers singing.

Li Yuan sat next to the transparent glass outside, staring outside, looking like he really admired the beautiful scenery of white flowers coming and going.

Wu walked forward and sat down opposite him, and said helplessly: "Don't look at it, you can see it and you can't get it, it's all someone else's." ”

"Have the ability to find one yourself."

Li Yuan said sadly when he heard this: "It's heartbroken!" ”

"Anyone else?" Wu Xing asked.

"Zhang Jianlong, that kid hasn't come over yet." Li Yuandao.

Wu Xing nodded and picked up the menu.

There are a lot of coffees on it.

Wu Xing ordered a latte, and then swiped the short video on his phone.

Suddenly, a beautiful singing voice came to his ears.

The voice is very magnetic and sounds very powerful.

To be able to sing this effect with this five-cent sound is definitely a talent.

Wu Xing looked towards the singing platform.

Since they were sitting close to the stage, he could see clearly that it was an ordinary-looking young man.

His voice is very distinctive, very similar to Lao Xue in his previous life, but the song he chose is not quite right, and his singing skills are inferior to Lao Xue.

Lao Xue actually looks pretty good, and the singer on the stage doesn't look like him except that he sounds like him.

But singing isn't about looks.

[Congratulations on picking up advanced singing skills!] 】

Seeing the words that appeared in front of him, Wu Xing indifferently took a sip of the coffee that the waiter had just served.

"Sorry, I've been taking a shower for a long time." A boy hurried over.

He is the Zhang Jianlong that Li Yuan said just now.

The relationship between the three is very good, before the first year of high school was in the same class, and later the second year of high school was divided, Zhang Jianlong chose the liberal arts class, and they were separated.

However, I usually come out to get together when I have time, and the friendship has not faded.

"Come on, come on, number one, we're in three rows."

Looking at Zhang Jianlong, who was full of interest, Wu Xing slapped his forehead and said, "Are we out to play or to play games?" ”

"Aren't they all playing?" Zhang Jianlong retorted.

At this moment, the singer on the stage finished singing a song and went down to rest.

Wu Xing said to the two: "I signed up for this school New Year's Day show, go up and show my hand, you see if I have a chance to be selected." ”

"You're going up to show and play basketball?" Li Yuan showed a puzzled expression and said, "I don't remember what other talents you have besides studying. ”

"Come on, your father, I'm optimistic about you!" Zhang Jianlong stretched out his thumb.

"Get out, unfilial son!" Wu Xing scolded with a smile.

"Just watch it."

With that, he stood up and walked towards the stage.

The café's rule is that customers who come here to spend money can go up and sing and liven up the atmosphere.

Wu Xing directly bypassed the screen of the song selection, and asked the singer sitting in front of the stage, "Can you lend me your guitar?" ”

The singer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then happily handed the guitar to Wu Xing.

Wu Xing played the note twice, and then began to play.

Originally, he had learned a little bit of guitar foundation in his previous life, coupled with the music theory knowledge he picked up from Zhao Yulong, his current guitar level is at least a beginner stage.

That's enough.

As the melody sounded, Li Yuan and Zhang Jianlong, who were sitting below and watching the singing platform, showed surprised expressions.

Looking at Li Yuan's mouth shape at Zhang Jianlong, he seemed to be saying, "When did this kid hide this hand?" ”

Originally, the singer in front of the singing stage thought that Wu Xing just wanted to borrow his guitar to play a simple pop song and pretend to be forced in front of his friends.

Hearing this unfamiliar prelude, his face suddenly became solemn.

I've never heard this tune before, and it sounds pretty good.

As the prelude ended, Wu Xing spoke:

"If the world is dark, I'm beautiful."

"In love, advance and retreat, the most consumed."

"It doesn't matter what is right or wrong, it doesn't matter."

"If it's like you, there's always someone to praise it."

"The humility that surrounds me may subside."

"Actually, I don't care, there are a lot of opportunities."

"Fearless as a giant."

"Indulge the ghost in me."

"But I'm not worthy."

……

The climax is coming.

"Ugly, can you please don't turn on the lights."

"The love I want haunts the dark stage."

……

"Ugly, in this ambiguous era."

"My existence is like an accident."

……

After singing the first part, the audience applauded.

Wu Xing continued to play.

The singer in front of the singing stage was originally sitting there resting, but he couldn't help but stand up excitedly.

There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

This song sings about his life.

The lyrics hit him straight to the heart.

The lyrics are imprinted with an ugly and poor man, and that person seems to be him.

When he was in elementary school, there was a performance at school, and he enthusiastically showed his proud singing voice in front of his teachers.

He always remembered that there was a hint of hesitation in the teacher's eyes at that time.

In the end, I chose a cute-looking boy to go up and dance hip-hop.

Since then, he has been like a chicken in the soup that has been drenched in heavy rain, and he has never asked to perform in such activities in the future.

When he was in junior high school, he had a crush on a girl and was seen writing a diary by his tablemates.

The big mouth at the same table told the story about it.

The girl didn't say anything, but remembered that the naughty boys in the class at that time inadvertently said something that he heard:

"There's no way she's going to like a piece of."

……

Later, after graduation, he wanted to participate in the talent show, but was told that he could sing, but he was too ugly, the audience would not buy it, and no economic company would be willing to accept him.

……

full of hope, but learned that this era depends on appearance.

Now he is reduced to a singer who sings in a coffee shop.

He laughed to himself.

Maybe in this era of looking at appearance, he is ugly and not worthy of being a singer.

At this time, Wu Xing sang again:

"Someone with a tear will be ruined."

"Someone loses the title, and nothing happens."

"As long as you're hypocritical enough, you're not afraid of the devil, are you?"

……

"If the script is written, who is more noble than whom."

"I can only be silent, beauty is not guilty."

"When desire starts to greed for a cup, there are more opportunities."

"Fearless as dust."

"Turning to ashes, who knows whom."

"It doesn't matter if he's worthy or not."

……

"Ugly, can you please don't turn on the lights."

"The love I want haunts the dark stage."

"Ugly, in this ambiguous era."

"My presence is not unexpected."

……

At the end of the song, the audience was silent.

Immediately after, fierce applause erupted.

The singer in front of the turntable stood still.

Wu walked off the stage, handed him the guitar, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for the guitar!" ”

"Can you tell me the name of this song?" The man's voice was hoarse.

"Ugly." Wu Xing responded.

"Ugly Eight Monsters......" He took a deep breath and said gratefully to Wu Xing: "Thank you, I like the lyrics of this song very much." ”

Wu Xing looked him up and down, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to sing this song?" ”

"Huh?" The singer was stunned.

Then his pupils suddenly shrank.

His body trembled, his hands tightly grasped Wu Xing's shoulders, and asked, "Can I really do it?" ”

"Of course you can." Wu Xing smiled slightly and nodded.
