Golden Assistant

h.e.l.lo~ some people might be wondering - 2 updates what is going on? I holed in for the weekends that"s what happened.         

Chapter 25.1

"Have you finished composing." Luzhou asked.

"Almost." Xiao Yi said.

"Never mind." Luzhou said, "Tomorrow I will give President Du a call, don"t write anymore, I reckon you can"t think of anything. If you are having a writer"s block just forget it."

Xiao Yi said: "I will go to the company tomorrow to get the score sheets, the crew can already change it."

"Okay." Luzhou said, "Let"s watch you stay up late."

When they arrive at their station, they head towards Luzhou"s house which was situated on higher grounds and still accessible. Luzhou kicked and stamped through the water, while Xiao Yi took off his shoes and walked barefooted.

"Why aren"t you talking?" Luzhou felt that Xiao Yi was a bit off today, and thought it was strange.

Xiao Yi: "I... am I normally very talkative?"

 Luzhou"s lips twitched as he said: "Rubbish is just rubbish, it doesn"t matter, don"t be so depressed."

Xiao Yi lamented in his heart, what does rubbish got to do with this conversation, but realized they were talking about the songs. Oh, he understood now. Luzhou was afraid that he could not write a decent song, and thus was depressed.

"I am not." Xiao Yi said, "The songs, .... I casually wrote them. Don"t have too much expectations."

Luzhou: "........."

"I was caring for your mood." Luzhou angrily said, "You really dare to casually write for me!"

Xiao Yi started laughing, and Luzhou continued: "Didn"t learn any professions, don"t do things seriously, do you still want to work!"

Luzhou had a stomach full of anger. He stood in the tunnel to scold Xiao Yi, the echoes of his anger filled the tunnel. Xiao Yi hurriedly said: "I swear, the songs are well written, I wrote them with sincerity!"

"Gave you some respect but you don"t want it." Luzhou said, "Wrote some nonsense, ran out in the middle of the night to fool around, whatever it"s up to you."

After saying that, Luzhou turned to leave. Xiao Yi held onto him right on the spot and cried out: "Don"t! King, don"t throw me away ahhhhh ——"

Luzhou: "........."

"Do you think that I am joking with you?" Luzhou grasped the collar of Xiao Yi"s shirt, and rudely said, "You just take a look at yourself, you are making me very disappointed in you. Can you sell meng*1 for food to eat? Everything you do you try to joke through it, this is the reason for your past failure!"

Xiao Yi looked into Luzhou"s eyes. Luzhou"s reproachful, angry and yet anxious expression made Xiao Yi feel embarra.s.sed, but he also suddenly felt happy being stared upon in this manner.

Am I a M? Why do I like to be scolded? Xiao Yi pondered, but couldn"t come to a conclusion. Meanwhile, Luzhou puffed out airs of anger, turning to walk away. Xiao Yi chased after him: "Zhou ge*2!"

"I don"t want to talk to you!" Luzhou said, "After finishing both the dramas, you will scram!"

This was not the first time Xiao Yi was told to leave, so he knew Luzhou was only saying this due to anger and he did not pay attention to it. He said: "How do you know I wrote nonsense? How do you know I went out in the middle of the night to play?"

Luzhou: "........"

Xiao Yi too a peek at Luzhou"s face. His face was sullen, and he walked out of the tunnel, carrying the umbrella with him. Xiao Yi quickly followed Luzhou to head back home.

Once home, since Luzhou was drenched, he immediately headed to bathe. Xiao Yi was finally back here again, he had a feeling of homecoming since he already treated Luzhou"s home as his as well. He went to prepare supper, left it on the dining table for Luzhou, then went to bathe.

When Luzhou came out of his bath, he seemed to have forgotten the prior happenings and did not mention anything. He ate the supper and proceeded upstairs to sleep. He had only gone up a few steps when he heard the sound of a guitar.

Xiao Yi was sitting in the living room on a high stool facing Luzhou who was heading upstairs, fingers strumming the guitar.

The lightning outside illuminated the room, and after a few seconds, thunder followed.

The sound of the guitar was like a ray of light in the rainy night, penetrating the dark world.

"As if we had agreed upon, none of us wanted to say anything.....

As if we had agreed upon, none of us wanted to turn back......

Love will teach you, it will teach me......

The day I let go of your hand, I missed you constantly, but the distance that separated you from me was like quicksand.

They told me, if I don"t speak up, I could only leave you......"

Xiao Yi opened his mouth, all focused on singing, the sounds made by his fingers were especially clear.

Luzhou stopped walking, his eyebrows moved slightly as he silently watched Xiao Yi.

"They told me, if I don"t look back, I will be a thousand miles away from you never to meet again ——"

Xiao Yi strummed the guitar again, and with a smile he sang the chorus:

"Too many people, they love your beautiful face, how am I supposed to tell you..... tell you......"

"I miss you, I miss those days walking with you in the rain!"

"How many years of memories have been blown away like dust ——"

"I miss you, I miss those days just being at home with you, when the festive lights were strung up along the streets ——"

"Love is a difficult word to say, so this is a song that silently conveys my love for you....."

Notes: 

1. 萌, p.r.o.nounced as "Meng", which means moe, or cuteness. So here LZ is asking if XY can survive with just selling cuteness. 

2. Same thing again. 哥, p.r.o.nounced as "Ge", is a chinese word used to describe an older brother, or someone who is generally an older male that is close to you.

Just a short update. I will do my best to bring an update weekly or bi-weekly. But if anything happens don"t worry, I will drop a notice on the updates page :)
