Recalcitrant

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the bar on the east side of the lobby opened on time. Lu Shaoheng sang on a whim tonight, replaced the lead singer of the band, sat on the high chair in the center of the stage, and sang several songs in succession.

Lu Shaoheng's singing is pretty good, at least much better than current idol stars.Although he lacks professional skills, he has a good voice and a good skin.

It was rare for the boss to sit in person, and within half an hour, the store was full of people.It's a pity that Lu Shaoheng lacks the spirit of service. No matter what songs the guests order, he ignores them and sings what he wants to sing.

"Boss is not in a good mood tonight." The lead singer's name is Ye Jinhao, who has been traveling all over the country for a long time, and has been singing in bars in Qibai Town for the past year.After Lu Shaoheng called him off the stage, he asked the bartender for a martini and sat at the bar doing nothing.

Jiajia rested her chin on her hands, looked at Lu Shaoheng on the stage, and asked, "How do you know?"

"Listen with your ears." Ye Jinhao showed an unteachable expression on his face, "Otherwise, why do you keep singing these sour love songs? It's probably because you have a relationship problem."

"He's in a relationship?" Jiajia's eyes widened, her face full of surprise: "Why didn't I know."

Ye Jinhao drank a little of the remaining wine in the bottom of the glass in one gulp, stared at Lu Shaoheng, and said, "Kids, what do you know?"

Lu Shaoheng was very excited about singing tonight, and he sang all night alone.In the second half, a group of people suddenly entered outside the door.

This group of people are all tall and well-dressed, and they also wear hats and sunglasses indoors in Da Xia Tian. They sat in the corner behind the bar as soon as they arrived.

Every day in the store, well-dressed bloggers and Internet celebrities come to take pictures and check in. The arrival of these people did not attract too many people's attention.But after they came, Lu Shaoheng sang the remaining half of the song, put the microphone into the keyboard player's pocket, and left the stage.

Ye Jinhao was already half-drunk at this moment, but he had no choice but to get on top halfway.

For several days after that, these people would come to the bar to patronize, and their time of appearance was not fixed, sometimes they would arrive just after opening, and sometimes they would not appear until it was almost closing.Every time they come, there will always be a group of little girls holding long guns and short cannons trying to come in and take pictures, but they are all invited out by the security guards.

Lu Shaoheng himself no longer sang on stage, did not show up in bars, and did not even go home early.He stayed alone in the VIP booth on the second floor every night until the bar was closed.

One day when Jiajia went in, she saw Lu Shaoheng lying on the fence, looking at the crowd downstairs with deep eyes.

Hearing the voice from the door, Lu Shaoheng didn't turn his head, but said, "Tell me, if I go down to find him now..."

"Who is he?" Jia Jia asked.

Lu Shaoheng looked back at Jiajia as if he had recovered his soul, and said, "It's nothing."

A week passed like this, and after the bar closed that day, Lu Shaoheng walked down from the second floor by himself.As soon as he stepped down the stairs, he saw Ye Jinhao leaning against the wall a few steps down with his guitar on his back.

Seeing Lu Shaoheng coming out, Ye Jinhao took the initiative to say hello: "Boss, where are you going?"

Lu Shaoheng took a look at him and said, "Go home after get off work."

"Do you mind going the same way?" Ye Jinhao asked.

Lu Shaoheng guessed that this kid had something to say to him, probably about employee benefits and wages, so he raised his chin and walked forward first.

Seeing this, Ye Jinhao immediately straightened up and followed quickly.

The two of them didn't talk along the way. Lu Shaoheng didn't know where Ye Jinhao and his band members lived, but he always followed Lu Shaoheng as if he was on the way.

Passing through the alley in front of him, Lu Shaoheng was about to arrive home. Seeing that Ye Jinhao still had no intention of opening his mouth, he stopped and asked, "What do you want..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Jinhao suddenly pushed him, and Lu Shaoheng lost his balance and hit the wall.This kid took the opportunity to trap him in the middle of his own wall, holding Lu Shaoheng's face in his hands, and was about to lean over to kiss him.

Lu Shaoheng hadn't seen this posture for a long time, so he reacted quickly. Before Ye Jinhao approached, he first kicked Ye Jinhao's lower body, and then punched him with an uppercut in the face, easily knocking him out.

"what do you mean?"

Lu Shaoheng wiped the blood from his lips. When he beat Ye Jinhao away just now, his lips were cut by the long nail on his thumb. The smell of blood spreading from his mouth made him very annoyed.

Ye Jinhao covered his lower body, struggled to sit up, with an expression of disbelief: "Don't you like me?"

"Are you sick?" Lu Shaoheng looked at a fool.

"You don't like me. Why did you look at me like that when you sang that night?" Ye Jinhao couldn't believe that he was being affectionate, endured the pain, and asked Lu Shaoheng repeatedly: "You don't like me. Recently, I waited for me to get off work every day. ? You don't like me, agree to walk with me today?"

"I'll give you half a month's leave from tomorrow." Lu Shaoheng wondered if he was unlucky this year, and met fools when he went out: "Go and treat your head first, and don't come back if you can't cure it."

Ye Jinhao still sat on the ground blankly, still unwilling to give up, as if he had been greatly wronged: "You really don't like me?"

Even if he rejects others, Lu Shaoheng is not a person who likes to speak too bluntly. How could he meet Ye Jinhao who is so weak and blindly confident.

"Never before, I don't know what made you misunderstand, I'm sorry." Seeing that he was still lying on the ground, Lu Shaoheng added angrily: "Why don't you go quickly?"

Ye Jinhao just stood up, glanced at Lu Shaoheng unwillingly, and walked out of the alley sullenly, looking heartbroken.

But there are such coincidences in this world, as soon as Ye Jinhao walked to the entrance of the alley, he bumped into a group of people head-on.At this time, there was no one around, and the few people who appeared in the store in full armor on weekdays all took off their sunglasses and masks, and looked at the handsome men and women with their eyes, making Ye Jinhao's eyes straight.

"You, you, you, you." Ye Jinhao opened his mouth wide, staring at the faces that often appeared on TV in front of him, for a moment he didn't know whose name he should call first.

In just a short while, Lu Shaoheng also arrived. He walked out of the dark alley slowly with his hands in his pockets, his clothes were covered in dust, and the corners of his mouth were still bloody.

When he saw these people, he was obviously taken aback.

A young male actor in the crowd spoke first. Seeing Chen Yao stop, he fixed his eyes on the two strangers on the side of the road, and asked suspiciously, "Acquaintance?"

The two men chattered in the alley in the middle of the night, needless to say, they knew they were doing shady things, they were really careless enough.

Lu Shaoheng involuntarily took half a step back, half of his body submerged into the dark alley again.

Chen Zhuo's gaze slid across Lu Shaoheng's lips like a superficial touch, and when his eyes made contact again, there was no warmth in his pupils.

"do not know."

After finishing speaking, he did not wait for the others in the same group, and walked forward first.

***

"disagree."

The morning sun was just right, and Lu Shaoheng slumped on the deck chair in the garden on the roof like a pool of water, with a book covering his face, and gave a three-word answer coldly.

Jiajia was anxious: "They set a very high price, what's the difference between this money and free money, and our hotel was filmed in a movie, what a good promotional opportunity!"

It's no wonder that Jiajia is impatient. Just this morning, two people came to the lobby. These two people claimed to be the artists of "The Lone Walker of the Moon" and wanted to book the entire hotel as a filming location.

Hearing this news, Jiajia was overjoyed, lent the hotel to the film crew to shoot a movie, no matter how you look at it, it is a harmless thing, and you can see stars every day.

So she took the job enthusiastically, and came to find Lu Shaoheng as soon as he arrived in the shop.

Who knew that Lu Shaoheng refused without even thinking about it.

"Why?" Jiajia asked, although Lu Shaoheng had released the transfer information, she didn't believe that he would actually sell this store to someone else.

"If you say you don't agree, you don't agree. Why are there so many reasons?" Lu Shaoheng lost his patience and said angrily as soon as he spoke, "You don't have anything else to do today?"

"Those two people spoke politely and politely, and they offered a generous price, so I'm too embarrassed to refuse them." Jiajia lost her temper: "They are still waiting in the lobby, so I want to refuse you to go by yourself."

Lu Shaoheng had nothing to do with Jiajia, so he had to put down his books and walk this way by himself.

The strange thing is that after seeing these two artists, Lu Shaoheng, who had been stubborn before, changed his mind temporarily.He didn't refuse again, but offered an outrageous price.

Not to mention borrowing a homestay at this price, even if it is a one-to-one interior scene in the shed, it is enough.

The artist knew that he was a lion opening his mouth, and the two looked at each other, both showing embarrassment.But they did not give an answer right away, but said they would go back and ask for instructions.

Half a day later, the crew called and said that the producer had accepted the price, and they would enter the set to shoot in the near future, so that Lu Shaoheng could get ready.

Jiajia was dumbfounded as she watched from the sidelines, she didn't know whether to feel that there are so many people in this world who have been taken advantage of, or to admire Lu Shaoheng's clever move of retreating to advance.

That night, the bar was open as usual, but there was a temporary band change on the stage. No one knew the reason, it was just that the boss was looking for trouble again.

Lu Shaoheng didn't go to the bar anymore, but soaked alone in the infinity pool on the second floor, facing the vast snow mountain.

His body naturally relaxed, and he lay on his back on the water, staring at the corner of the white night sky in a trance.Nature has a mysterious power. Whenever Lu Shaoheng feels depressed, he will soon feel better when he comes out to see the mountain and the sky.

However, tonight, this method has lost its effect. Various thoughts were entangled in his mind, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

When the local Tibetans went around the mountain the year before last, he also went with them.Lu Shaoheng went to the countryside to do as the Romans do, buying leather aprons, gloves and boards, knee pads and elbow pads, kowtowed all the way with pious pilgrims, and walked around the snow-capped mountains for seven days and seven nights.

What did he pray to the holy mountain at that time?In fact, he doesn't remember much.But on such a night, he suddenly became a little concerned about this wish.

Lu Shaoheng was floating on the water, trying to recall the wish he made after traveling around the mountain for seven days, and when he was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of falling water in his ears.

He was startled, and before he could react, an arm tightly wrapped around his chest from behind, dragging him up from the water.

Lu Shaoheng floated well in the water, but the sudden pull made him choke hard.At the moment, he didn't care too much, lying on the visitor's shoulder in embarrassment, coughing so faintly that even his neck and chest were flushed.

After he finally calmed down, he raised his head and looked at the person standing in front of him. All the curse words rolled to his mouth, and they were stuck back again, making the bottom of his throat itchy, and he coughed violently again in a futile way.

Chen Zhuo's whole body was already soaked. He was wearing neat trousers and a shirt, and a watch on his wrist. Obviously, he jumped off without taking off anything in time.

Seeing that Lu Shaoheng's lungs were about to cough out, Chen Zhuo didn't intend to help, but asked him with a cold face: "What are you doing?"

Lu Shaoheng struggled to stop his cough, and when Chen Yao asked him, he stuttered: "Uh, swimming?"

Chen Zhuo's eyes relaxed, and he let go of Lu Shaoheng, and the two of them soaked in the water without embarrassment, looking at each other.

Fortunately, a large group of bluffing staff rushed to the shore in time, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere to the center of the earth.As soon as they saw Chen Zhuo soaking in the swimming pool, they immediately screamed, as if someone had died in the pool.

"Director Chen! Director Chen, are you okay! Waiter! Get the towel quickly!"

Chen Yao regained consciousness first, and finally took a last look at Lu Shaoheng, and went ashore without saying a word, took the towel from the panicked staff, and left without looking back.

After Chen Yao was surrounded by a group of people and left, Lu Shaoheng also slowly came up from the swimming pool.Jiajia appeared out of nowhere, leaned close to him, and asked gossipingly, "Boss, do you know this big star?"

That year in Southwest China, Jiajia only met Chen Yao once. At that time, she didn't have much contact with the outside world, and she didn't know any entertainment stars. She didn't know who Chen Yao was, and she didn't have any impression of him.

Lu Shaoheng stared at the direction Chen Yao left, and asked, "Why is he here?"

Jiajia pursed her lips and began to complain: "Didn't you agree to rent the venue to them for filming? In the evening, the crew came to watch the scene. I was introducing them upstairs just now, boy, that director is something, suddenly I left a large group of people and ran away.” At this point, Jiajia finally realized that something was wrong: “Hey, it’s strange, how did he know how to get to the swimming pool when he came here for the first time?”

Lu Shaoheng's hotel was transformed from an ancient dwelling. In order to integrate this infinity pool into the local architecture, the design team took great pains.In the end, for the sake of the snow-capped mountain scenery, some choices were made in terms of location. The path to the swimming pool is relatively complicated, and it is not easy for people who come to the hotel for the first time.

"And why is he coming down to you in such a hurry?" Jiajia asked again.

Lu Shaoheng didn't answer, nor was he interested in continuing to swim. He put on his bathrobe silently, stepped on his slippers and walked indoors.

I haven't seen him for two years, and he hasn't had time to tell Chen Zhuo that he is no longer afraid of water.
