Chapter 132: Call Over Auntie Liang (Second Update)
What is the probability of running into a celebrity while walking on the street?
What is the probability of running into a famous celebrity while walking on the street?
The odds are almost the same as winning the lottery! And Su Lin happened to be on the street, casually intercepting a car, and actually ran into Yun Yiyi, this popular jade female singer, the odds are even lower than winning the lottery.
What's even more outrageous is that Yún Yīyī, this big star, actually sang a song for him in the car.
"Lin Zi, did you hear? Yun Yiyi senior is coming to our school for a concert tomorrow!"
Su Lin looked at his excited best friend Li Hao beside him, whose oily face was smiling, and the flesh on his body was shaking.
"Is this cloud so... so... famous?"
Even Li Hao knows this Yun Yiyi, Su Lin is also confused, it's all because he doesn't usually pay attention to the entertainment circle, what singer movie star, he can't even count a few with his fingers, let alone this recently popular Yun Yiyi.
"Of course! Lin Zi, that time... in high school... the music teacher had you sing "Beautiful Xicheng" in class, which was written and sung by Yun Yiy. And this year, Yun has 32 concerts all over the country, called "Clouds Come Again". Not only does Yun sing well, but she's also extremely beautiful, and her popularity is soaring in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan..."
Su Lin usually didn't notice that Li Hao was a star chaser, but today he talked about Yun Yiyi and wouldn't stop, as if there were countless topics to discuss.
"I didn't think she was particularly pretty either? Just that her figure is quite good."
When Li Hao spoke, Su Lin recalled the day in Yun Yiyi's car. At that time, Yun Yiyi was wearing a pair of sunglasses that covered half her face. Who could see what she really looked like?
However, Yun Yiyi's figure was extremely explosive, and Su Lin regretted not stopping time to lift up her sunglasses and take a look at what she really looked like.
"Lin Zi, aren't you feverish? You actually said Yun Xue Jie isn't pretty? Do you know how many fans Yun Xue Jie has nationwide? Ah... when I was in high school, why didn't I seize the opportunity to pursue Yun Xue Jie? At that time she hadn't become famous yet, maybe she would have taken a liking to this fatty. Ah... now it's even hard to get a glimpse of Yun Xue Jie..."
With a disappointed face, Li Hao put his arm around Su Lin's shoulder and said with a raised eyebrow, "Linzi, Yun Xuejia is now in her third year at Qingbei University. Why don't we also take the exam for universities in Beijing? That way, we can use our identity as fellow townspeople to get closer to Yun Xuejia?"
"Come on! Haozi, Yun Xuejie is a big star, why would she care about us poor guys who have nothing?"
Although she said so, Su Lin's mind thought of Yun Yiyi's attitude towards her that day, and there was not much arrogance. She heard that she was a junior in Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, and even sang a song for herself!
"How come this Yiyang Xue sister doesn't seem to have any star quality at all?"
In Su Lin's view, those stars seemed to be people from two completely different worlds and it was impossible for them to have any intersection with themselves. They should only appear in movies and music, where could they possibly meet?
But just yesterday morning, Su Lin ran into him, and he was still a big star.
"But... I feel like this senior sister doesn't have a very good impression of me, does she? It seems like she was mad at me back then, what's the big deal? Wasn't it just that I bragged to her and said my singing is better than hers?"
Su Lin hehe smiled foolishly, didn't expect that she was the one who was showing off in front of Yun Yiyi, the original creator, and actually said something that sounded even better than what she sang.
"Lin Zi, what are you smiling foolishly about? Are you also moved by this plan of mine?"
"Go, go, go...... with your stupid idea, it's unlikely to be useful!"
She gave Li Hao a glance, Su Lin shook her head and still didn't take Yun Yiyi to heart. After all, they were people from two different worlds - one was a big star, the other an ordinary high school student in their third year; what could they possibly have in common?
The important announcement was made, and the whole scene became excited. The sun sets in the west, these excited students chatted with each other, some apologized, some confessed, what a lively scene.
Su Lin was looking for Qin Yanran in the crowd, but from the beginning to now, he had not seen Qin Yanran at all. He could only walk towards the school gate with a disappointed heart under the sunset glow.
"Did Yanyan go home directly after finishing the exam? I don't know if she will come to attend the thank-you party and watch Yun Yiyi's concert tomorrow?"
The college entrance exam was over, but Su Lin's heart was filled with worries again. As he walked to the school gate, he found that his parents had been waiting there for a long time.
"Dad! Mom!"
"Little rabbit! You finished your exam and didn't hurry out, what were you doing in there for so long?"
For some reason, Su Lin now sees his parents as being so close to him, especially his mother's eyes that are smiling so much they're almost closed, and even the way his mother calls out "Little Bunny" sounds so good.
"Finished the exam?"
Su Lin's father, Su Guorong, also had a faint smile on his face as he looked at Su Lin and asked softly.
"Uh-huh! Dad, I've finished the exam. It went pretty well."
At this time, Su Lin felt like a general who had won a victory on the battlefield and returned home, with only pride and arrogance in his heart when facing his parents.
"That's good. Let's go home and have a drink together!"
A simple sentence, yet it warmed Su Lin's heart. His own father had never allowed him to drink before, let alone drink with him. And today, Su Guorong would say this, obviously another way of showing his approval of Su Lin.
"Good!"
Su Lin nodded heavily, and the three of them walked home together, chatting and laughing along the way, under the warm glow of the setting sun.
On the Su family's dinner table, steaming hot dishes and delicious side dishes were already filled to the brim. Su Guorong even specially brought out his treasured 1998 Fu Maibai wine, carefully filling his ceramic wine cup to the full, then pouring some for his son Su Lin beside him.
"Ai Zhen, would you like one too?"
Su Guorong happily held up the wine bottle, but his wife Liu Aizhen was not having it at all. She glared at him and said: "I'm not drinking your crappy wine! I drink orange juice!"
"What a fine wine! Ai Zhen, this is 98-year-old Fu Mao, the flavor is rich... The aroma is sweet and mellow. You haven't seen how our company's Old Wang always wants to drink this bottle of mine every time he comes? Today I still can't finish drinking it all, have to leave half a bottle, wait until Xiao Lin gets married and then take it out to drink..."
His face flushed, Su Lin also saw his father, Su Guorong, take out this bottle of treasured cellar wine for the first time. He lowered his head to smell it and indeed a strong aroma wafted up, presumably the alcohol content wouldn't be too low either.
Raising his glass, Su Lin said to his parents: "Dad, Mom! Thank you for raising me all these years. Today I've finished my college entrance exam and will go on to university and work! I'll study hard and earn money to bring a better and happier life to you both in the future!"
"Kobayashi, as long as you behave and listen, study hard and that's all. University tuition fees and living expenses, your parents can still afford them. Your parents don't expect you to be very filial in the future, we have hands and feet, and don't need you to support us. When we're old, if you can bring your wife and children back home to accompany us two old men and women more often, that's enough."
Parents' dedication to their children is always selfless, never expecting anything in return. Parents always feel that what they give to their children is not enough, so they work hard, ultimately for the sake of giving their children a better development space.
"Your mom is right, Xiao Lin. Dad doesn't expect you to make a lot of money in the future either. The most important thing is that we should be law-abiding citizens and not do anything illegal or criminal. Living in this world, in our socialist country, we must contribute to society. We want to be pillars of the state, not parasites, you know?"
He picked up his wine glass, Su Guorong took a light sip, then closed his eyes, letting the aroma of the wine spread in his mouth, and then slowly exhaled, releasing this flavor, which was truly wonderful.
Su Lin also let out a light "hmm", and was immediately hit with the spicy and numbing flavor of the huangjiu, which felt incredibly refreshing. After the initial stimulation, a wave of fragrance from the huangjiu burst forth from his nostrils.
"Good wine!"
Su Lin didn't used to drink much before, because his parents wouldn't let him. He rarely drank beer, not to mention baijiu. However, his father Su Guorong was a notorious drunkard far and wide, although since he started driving, he only had a small drink on weekends when he wasn't driving. But the genes of this drunkard were not to be covered up.
As soon as he took a sip, Su Lin fell in love with the taste, and with a gulp, he hastily downed the small cup of Fu Mao wine.
"This wine is really good, Dad, give me another glass..."
Stretching out his wine cup, Su Lin smiled and asked his father for wine.
"Go, go, go... What kind of wine is this for kids? You finished it in one gulp. Do you know how precious this wine is? It was passed down to me by your grandfather as a family heirloom when he was alive, and now there's only this little left. Today, we can only have one cup each, no more."
Under Su Lin's covetous gaze, Su Guorong covered the wine bottle and placed it lightly to the side, secretly telling himself that he must hide this wine well, otherwise, who knows when he's not at home, this little rabbit will sneak a drink.
"What wine to drink! Xiao Lin, let's have some orange juice..."
Su Mu quickly filled Su Lin's wine glass with orange juice, looked at the full table of dishes and said to Su Lin: "Little Lin, go to Ye Jia, call your sister Zhu, and also ask your Aunt Liang to come over. I think they haven't eaten yet either, let's call them all together, it'll be lively..."
"Huh? Call over Bamboo Sister and Mrs. Liang?"
As soon as Su Lin heard his mother's words, he got a headache. Unbeknownst to him, the person he feared seeing most now was Leung Kwai Chu, Yip Sing Chuk's mother.
