“Oh, right, after I text you, you can light up the fireworks first and play the music when it reaches the end. Ask the singer to walk out and start to sing as the fireworks start. And get the microphone hooked up. When you’re in the backyard, be careful, don’t let the little troublemaker notice you—”
Gu Yusheng was lost in his thoughts. He gave Lu Bancheng orders as he remembered them.
Lu Bancheng focused primarily on the third order Gu Yusheng had just mentioned. He didn’t understand it for a while. He had needed to catch a flight that was so early he barely even had his eyes open now. However, suddenly, he opened his eyes wide. He was so shocked it looked like his eyes would pop out. He interrupted Gu Yusheng to say, “Now? Are you asking me to invite the original singer of the song of ‘The End’?”
“Yes, right now,” Gu Yusheng confirmed. He looked like he was worried Lu Bancheng hadn’t understood what he had said and said firmly, “No matter where she is, how much I have to pay her, or whether we have to fly her over on a private jet, you have to invite her here.”
“Are you serious? You’re just planning on telling her that you like her, so what’s the point of…” Lu Bancheng commented. Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yusheng shot a look at him that scared him and made him stumble. Lu Bancheng forced what he wanted to say down and neglected to say, “Just proposing. Why would you try so hard and spend so much money just to invite a singer?”
Instead, he said “Right, you’re right. You’re definitely right. A proposal of Master Gu’s should not just be okay. We should invite her, but time is tight. If we have enough time, we should invite her to the Bird’s Nest to have a concert there.”
Gu Yusheng suddenly didn’t feel like talking. He waved at Lu Bancheng and signaled for him to leave.
Lu Bancheng sprang up from the sofa and walked out of the office. As he pulled the door open, he was lost in thought for a second and gave his blessings to Gu Yusheng, since he was like his real brother. “Bro Sheng, I wish you good luck tonight.”
Gu Yusheng curled his lips up slightly. He was rarely this polite. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Lu Ban Cheng reached his hand out to the door knob. As his hand had just touched it, he heard Gu Yusheng speak again. “Are you sure that everything is ready?”
“Yes,” Lu Bancheng said.
Didn’t Gu Yusheng normally have the confidence to overcome any obstacle? Why was he so concerned?
After Lu Bancheng answered Gu Yusheng, he saw that Gu Yusheng was genuinely worried. He said, “Do you want to role play it to practice? I can pretend to be Xiaokou.”
A second before, Gu Yusheng had seemed unsure of whether everything would be fine, but he snorted the second after he heard Lu Bancheng’s suggestion. He said, “I’m sorry. I don’t feel any romance when I face you.”
What the heck! Who the f*ck wants to be romantically involved with this guy? Lu Bancheng thought to himself.
Lu Bancheng didn’t look at Gu Yusheng at all. He simply wrenched open the office door and left.
The office fell back into silence. Gu Yusheng had planned everything well, but he still felt like he could have done it better.
No matter how confident a person was, the more one cared about another person, the less confident one felt when it came to love.
