If Lu Bai was not mistaken, the wandering singer who was singing with his head lowered should be called Zhao Lei.
It was Zhao Lei, who had become famous all over the country with a song. He was known as a folk singer who came from the folk. Although he was relatively low-key and had always drifted away from the public's view, he was rarely seen on the Internet.
However, this Zhao Lei was a rare creative player. His representative works were not only the city, but also paintings, 30-year-old women, southern girls, and other works that were very popular for a time.
Moreover, Zhao Lei's music style was simple and light, and his singing style did not involve those fancy techniques. It was very catchy, which also made his masterpiece the most popular folk song in KTV. Anyone who went to KTV to drink and had not sung a few times would be embarrassed to go out.
However, very few people in the audience knew that this ballad singer, Zhao Lei, was actually a penniless wandering singer before he made his fortune. He wandered around the country and was a typical romantic.
There was a famous best-selling author, Da Bing, who once wrote a story about Zhao Lei in his book. He said that he once opened a small tavern in Dali. At that time, Zhao Lei often came to his tavern to sing and earn money for meals.
In his previous life, Lu Bai had a very deep impression of this singer, Zhao Lei. That was why he could tell that Zhao Lei's voice was very familiar when he passed by.
"Alright, after dawn, it's always the most ridiculous to leave in a hurry. Those who are sober... Alright, you always leave in a hurry after dawn. Those who are sober are the most ridiculous..."
Compared to Lu Bai, Zhao Lei's voice was a little more hoarse and experienced. His voice was not unique in the singing industry, but his singing skills were still quite good.
Clang.
After Zhao Lei finished singing a song, he realized that someone had thrown two one-yuan coins into his empty piano case. He was immediately speechless.
Although people didn't bring cash with them these days, there were even fewer people carrying coins in their pockets. Ordinary people would scan the code to pay for taking the bus now. Therefore, other than places like the market, coins were rarely seen.
Besides, I'm a wandering singer, not a beggar!
Normally, the passersby who felt that the singing was good and wanted to tip some money would at least give five, ten, and twenty yuan. Some rich people even gave one or two hundred yuan. However, they had never seen anyone tip two yuan at a time. Wasn't this a little too much?!
Zhao Lei was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and he did not know how to be flexible and tactful. Otherwise, he would not have come out to be a wandering singer who could not get another meal.
Therefore, even though he had been " coined ", he still glared at the person who had coined the coin with an unpleasant expression.
"Take it back! I don't want your money!"
That's right, Zhao Lei's personality was so stubborn. As long as he felt unhappy, he would retaliate no matter who it was. Even if the person who inserted the coin might have done it out of kindness, this kind of behavior still angered Zhao Lei.
Other than that, there was another reason. Zhao Lei hadn't eaten for the entire day. Once he was hungry, his temper would be more violent. He would be more impulsive and irritable than usual. However, even if he couldn't eat, he didn't want these ridiculous two coins!
"Why are you still angry when I give you money?”
As night had fallen, Zhao Lei could not see the face of the tall young man who had put in the coin. However, the slightly cold voice made Zhao Lei feel inexplicably familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
"Why do you care?"
Zhao Lei angrily grabbed two coins and threw them at the tall young man's feet. He carefully put the guitar into the case. It seemed that he was ready to pack up.
He had no choice. He was too hungry and couldn't sing anymore. It was better to buy a packet of instant noodles…
Just as Zhao Lei was about to pack his things and leave, he saw the tall young man bend down unhurriedly to pick up the two coins on the ground and put them back into his pocket.
"The last line of your lyrics was out of tune.”
???
Upon hearing this, the anger in Zhao Lei's heart soared. He was already very hungry and was quite angry because of the two coins just now. Now, this young man in front of him was actually going on and on?
You can insult my character, but you can't insult my music. This has always been Zhao Lei's life creed.
Therefore, as a wandering singer who loved music, he really couldn't stand the young man's questioning. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to pay legal responsibility for fighting, he really wanted to beat the young man in front of him.
"Who the f * ck are you? Can you sing?"
"A little."
Zhao Lei was a little angry when he heard this. He thought to himself that this kid in front of him was quite strange. His tone was almost on the verge of exploding, but the other party had always been in that cold and calm state, as if he could not tell that Zhao Lei was angry.
"You f * cking…Wait a minute... You!"
Zhao Lei was just about to scold the young man in front of him, but no matter how he looked at it, this young man looked like a human. When he finally saw the young man's appearance under the dim light of the street lamp, his eyeballs almost flew out on the spot.
"You, you, you are…You are Lu Bai?"
Although a penniless wandering singer like Zhao Lei did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry, he was still very concerned about the music industry, especially the talented musician Lu Bai who had recently appeared. It was impossible for him not to know him.
Although they were both creative artists, Zhao Lei was still a little unconvinced when he first heard about Lu Bai's works on the Internet. However, when he really heard Lu Bai's works, he was immediately convinced.
This was a true musical genius!
As a fellow musician, Zhao Lei knew better than ordinary fans what Lu Bai's many songs represented. They spanned across many styles and styles, and all of them were f * cking high-quality golden songs. Such talent could only be described as monstrous!
After Zhao Lei listened to all of Lu Bai's songs over a dozen times, this proud wandering singer directly turned into a fanatic fan of Lu Bai on the spot.
Of course, a fan like Zhao Lei wouldn't help Lu Bai in the war and hack his phone like those young ladies on the internet. He was more like a spiritual fan. He would only silently admire Lu Bai, but he wouldn't exaggerate.
However, on the day of Lu Bai's previous episode of the Masked King Competition, Zhao Lei had spent a huge sum of 30 yuan to book a computer in the internet cafe. He had watched the entire episode of the competition just to wait for Lu Bai's live performance. In fact, that episode did not disappoint him.
Therefore, when Zhao Lei realized that the young man in front of him was Lu Bai, he was dumbfounded. His head was buzzing. He had not eaten and his blood sugar was low. Now, he almost fell to the ground.
It was not a coincidence that he was singing Lu Bai's song just now, and he was accidentally seen by Lu Bai. There were so many coincidences in the world. In fact, it was because he had been singing Lu Bai's song repeatedly for the past few days…
Speaking of which, just the day before yesterday, there was a beautiful lady who came for a big holiday. After hearing Zhao Lei sing Lu Bai's song, she expressed that she was also a fan of Lu Bai and even tipped Zhao Lei 200 yuan!
"Yes, I am Lu Bai."
Lu Bai was actually quite amused at this moment. After all, what happened just now proved that Zhao Lei had a bad temper and was quite stubborn. However, those who were involved in artistic creation generally had a special personality. Lu Bai himself had a cold poker face all day long.
However, after Lu Bai admitted his identity, Zhao Lei did not say anything.
Logically speaking, if Lu Bai's fans suddenly saw their idol in person, they would probably faint on the spot from happiness. At the very least, they would scream and excitedly ask Lu Bai for an autograph, a photo, and a hug.
Even if they were not fans, ordinary passers-by would definitely be excited for a long time when they saw a celebrity like Lu Bai.
But what the hell was Zhao Lei suddenly silent for?
In fact, Zhao Lei really admired Lu Bai. He liked Lu Bai's songs to death and could almost recite the lyrics backwards.
However, after seeing Lu Bai in person, Zhao Lei's emotions became complicated after a moment of excitement.
After all, he and Lu Bai were both in the music industry. Lu Bai was even a few years younger than him. Even though Lu Bai was in debt and did not have much money, his reputation had spread all over the internet. His fans were all over the world, and his status in the industry had also risen.
On the other hand, Zhao Lei himself, who was also poor, had achieved nothing. He had nothing to his name. He wandered around and sang. He said that he was pursuing his music dream, but in fact, sometimes he couldn't even eat. He didn't know where that dream was.
Therefore, when he met Lu Bai face to face, Zhao Lei felt inferior. In the past, he felt that his life of being content with poverty was quite carefree, but now, he suddenly felt that everything seemed to be meaningless.
This was also the difference between Zhao Lei and Lu Bai's other fans. His admiration for Lu Bai was actually mixed with some jealousy.
Seeing Zhao Lei lowering his head and not speaking, Lu Bai did not mind. Instead, he said indifferently,
"Have you eaten dinner yet?"
Zhao Lei was stunned when he heard this and shook his head blankly. Actually, he was too embarrassed to say it. Not only did he not eat dinner, but he also did not eat lunch and breakfast. At this moment, he was so hungry that his legs were bulging.
"Then come with me. I'll treat you to a meal.”
Zhao Lei was even more stunned when he heard this.
"Invite me?"
Zhao Lei really did not understand the meaning behind Lu Bai's actions. He was a street singer who had failed on the streets. According to the current situation, he might starve to death on the streets one day. As for Lu Bai, he was a big star, a genius musician, and a top-notch celebrity.
No matter how one looked at him, he and Lu Bai did not match. They were like a small ant standing beside an elephant, and they did not even have a sense of existence.
However, after Lu Bai finished speaking, he turned around and left. At the same time, he gestured for Zhao Lei to follow. Although Zhao Lei's head was filled with question marks, he still followed obediently.
However, just as Zhao Lei was wondering if Lu Bai was going to invite him to a big restaurant for a meal, and if so, he should have some sense of propriety and decline politely, Lu Bai brought him into a 24-hour convenience store by the street and bought six packets of instant noodles. Yes, nothing else, just six packets of instant noodles.
Zhao Lei: "??????"
