âOh, 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 youâre in the backyard, be careful, donât let the little troublemaker notice youââ
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 didnât 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, âNow? Are you asking me to invite the original singer of the song of âThe Endâ?â
âYes, right now,â Gu Yusheng confirmed. He looked like he was worried Lu Bancheng hadnât understood what he had said and said firmly, âNo 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.â
âAre you serious? Youâre just planning on telling her that you like her, so whatâs the point of...â 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, âJust proposing. Why would you try so hard and spend so much money just to invite a singer?â
Instead, he said âRight, youâre right. Youâre definitely right. A proposal of Master Guâs should not just be okay. We should invite her, but time is tight. If we have enough time, we should invite her to the Birdâs Nest to have a concert there.â
Gu Yusheng suddenly didnât 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. âBro Sheng, I wish you good luck tonight.â
Gu Yusheng curled his lips up slightly. He was rarely this polite. âThank you.â
âYouâre welcome.â Lu Ban Cheng reached his hand out to the door knob. As his hand had just touched it, he heard Gu Yusheng speak again. âAre you sure that everything is ready?â
âYes,â Lu Bancheng said.
Didnât 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, âDo you want to role play it to practice? I can pretend to be Xiaokou.â
A second before, Gu Yusheng had seemed unsure of whether everything would be fine, but he snorted the second after he heard Lu Banchengâs suggestion. He said, âIâm sorry. I donât feel any romance when I face you.â
What the heck! Who the f*ck wants to be romantically involved with this guy? Lu Bancheng thought to himself.
Lu Bancheng didnât 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.
