Dad, Please Try a Little Harder

  Chapter 77 Qian Quan almost kisses, but Qian Quan directly dunks! (Please subscribe!)

  After eating the barbecue buffet, Qian Quan went to the cake shop to pick up the cake, and then went to the Changkuai KTV in the square with Ding Linlang.

   "Drink or beer?" Qian Quan asked after entering the small private room.

   "You actually ask such a question, of course it's beer, it's his birthday today." Ding Linlang pretended to be coquettish.

   "Who is he?" Qian Quan asked deliberately.

  Ding Linlang reached out and hit him.

  Qian Quan smiled: "No, you never talked like that before, did you? I don't mean anything else, I just feel a little girly."

   "Qian Quan!" Ding Linlang continued to fight.

   "Stop, stop, stop, I'm worried that you won't be able to code if you drink too much," Qian Quan grabbed Ding Linlang's violent hand, "Didn't you just put it on the shelves?"

   "I have saved manuscripts, so I don't panic at all, thank you." Ding Linlang said in a whisper.

   "Okay, let's order a whole bottle of beer tonight, and we won't go home until we're drunk."

   "One bottle? Do you keep goldfish? One bottle is enough for anyone to drink. If the people in the next room see it, they think we can't afford it. Let's have another bottle, one bottle for each person!"

   "Wow! Ding Linlang, you are so barbaric."

   "Today is my birthday, I am the oldest, I can do whatever I want!"

   "Then I will report to Uncle Ding."

   "What? You want to report to my dad?" Ding Linlang had an expression of "you're kidding me", "Qian Quan, are you childish?"

   "Hehe, what do you know, Uncle Ding gave me a death order before. In any situation, as long as I am around, you are not allowed to get drunk."

"Qian Quan, did you meet me on the first day, a bottle of beer, drunk?" Ding Linlang sneered, "And my dad obviously meant that I was worried that I would suffer if I got drunk. Now it's just the two of us in this room, you will take advantage of me drinking Did Drunk do something to me like a beast?"

   "Of course not! The conscience of heaven and earth! It's the first day you met me!" Qian Quan confronted.

   "Then it's fine, what are you afraid of, what will happen to you when I drink?"

   "All right, all right, one bottle per person." Qian Quan compromised.

  Qian Quan went to get a beer, and Ding Linlang went to order a song first.

  Faye Wong's "Fleeing Years".

  Ding Linlang's musical talent belongs to the middle level, and he is definitely not on the level of tone insanity and pentaphonic insufficiency, but his singing level is only at the level of "not bad", "able to listen", "not to cover ears and hold back laughter".

   "Falling in love with an angel's flaw, in a devil's language..."

  It’s already been sung over there.

  The reason why she chose Faye Wong's songs is not because she can imitate Faye Wong's ethereal and soft voice, but because she can echo the temperament of the queen who loves so and so, don't mess with me, and it's none of your business.

   And the most critical point of this temperament is to sing about yourself and not deliberately imitate anyone.

   This is almost one of the few advantages that Ding Linlang can praise when he sings.

  However, there has always been a saying in the industry that Faye Wong's singing style is imitated by Dorothy, the former lead singer of the Cranberry band, and her personal character is shaped by Dou Daxian...

   It doesn’t matter anymore, the reason why Tianhou is Tianhou is that she has perfectly integrated these subtle influences on herself, forming her own unique style without leaving a trace.

   "Meeting a firework show, with a time of reincarnation, Ziwei Xing passed by, and it was too late to say goodbye, and it was already far away from me, a light-year away..."

  Ding Linlang... the mood is getting better.

  Qian Quan ordered songs while listening. At this time, seven or eight songs have been ordered on the playlist. Those who are usually embarrassed to sing K with other people have ordered all of them today.

   In front of Ding Linlang, you don't have to worry about embarrassment. It doesn't matter if you are out of tune or can't keep up with the rhythm.

  After Ding Linlang finished singing, Qian Quan put the birthday song on top and said, "Let's eat the cake first, and then let's sing a good song."

  Qian Quan finished the birthday hat and crown, walked up to Ding Linlang, and put it on her head.

  Then turn on the atmosphere lights, light candles, sing birthday songs, make wishes, blow out candles, eat cake...

  There should be a lot of links in the ceremony.

   While Ding Linlang was cutting the cake, Qian Quan even took advantage of the opportunity to spread a finger of cream on her face.

  I learned this from my mother. Every year when I ate cake on my birthday, my mother would put a little cream on his face to express good luck.

  Ding Linlang naturally knew about this custom, so she did not avoid it.

   After each of them finished eating a small piece of cake, they opened a beer and touched each other.

   "Happy birthday." Qian Quan said in conclusion.

"Fun."

   Then, start singing.

  Qian Quanyi’s first song is "You" by Tu Honggang. This song is the theme song of "Secret History of Xiaozhuang", one of the originator of sadomasochism dramas in the Qing Dynasty.

   I don’t know if there is a memory error, but Qian Quan has always felt that this song is not as impressive as the ending song "Beauty Song", and it belongs to the point where he can hum along if someone sings it.

  However, with the proliferation of variety shows and the rise of short videos in the past two years, many nostalgic links have reappeared, and Internet celebrities have begun to cover old songs, making some songs that were not often heard before popular again.

  Especially when paired with classic clips from some past film and television dramas, it is quite lethal, as if giving those old songs a new meaning.

  For example, when Qian Quan sang the song "You", watching the scenes of Tranquility and Ma Jingtao in the video, I always felt that some related memories were revived.

  Of course, there are also some songs that are unrecognizable in the short video, and the outstanding representative is "Give Me Time for a Song" by Jay Chou.

  Human high-quality male, with oily hair combed to one side, buttocks raised alluringly, one hand confidently in his pocket: "I've dried up my silence, regretting very impulsively..."

  You can no longer associate this song with Jay Chou.

   "Just wait until the dark night to dream of the girl I once loved..."

  Qian Quan finished singing "You".

   Ding Linlang's new song is also finished.

   Received the song "When You" by Wang Xinling.

  Qian Quan sang a song "Preference" by Zhang Yunjing;

  Ding Linlang sang a song "Favorite" by Vivian Chow in non-standard Cantonese;

  Qian Quan sang a song "Simple Love" by Jay Chou;

  The two of them sang a song "I Have to Love" together;

  Ding Linlang sang a song "The Lovers Are Not Full";

  Qian Quan sang "First Love";

  Ding Linlang sang "Ambiguous";

  Qian Quan sang "Only Feeling for You";

  Ding Linlang sang "I Do".

  The two of you are playing a song like you are in a ring.

   Neither spoke nor interacted. They each sat at one end of the sofa, maintaining a tacit understanding, singing and drinking for a while.

   Each bottle of beer was quickly downed.

  My head became a little hazy.

  Ding Linlang didn't need to remind him, Qian Quan automatically went to get two more bottles.

  Alcohol is a strange thing. Before you touch it, you will have good self-control, and you can precisely plan how much you drink tonight and where the degree is.

  Once the first round of drinking is finished, the rest will no longer be controllable. Whoever dares to stop you at this time is against you. There is a kind of pride that does not know what it means to be drunk.

   This kind of arrogance will continue until you vomit on the toilet until the sky is dark.

  Then Moments official Xuan Mingzhi "I will stop drinking from today, check in on the first day, please supervise"...

   This kind of check-in lasts for half a day at the shortest and is deleted, and the longest is one week.

   And when Qian Quan and Ding Linlang drank their second bottle of beer, the songs they sang were "Mouses Love Rice", "Death Will Love", "Wolf Loves Sheep", "QQ Love"...

  The two of them no longer sat at one end of the sofa, but sat in the middle of the sofa, holding microphones in their hands, facing each other, yelling at each other until they blushed and their necks were thick.

  They are close at hand, separated by a layer of thin window paper.

   But that layer of window paper is as tough as silk.

  For a relationship that is too familiar, it is always cautious to move forward an inch.

  When the music stopped abruptly, their eyes met, they could hear each other's breathing, and they could even see each other's saliva swallowing.

  The colorful flashes in the room flickered gently, as if everything had been rendered and paved.

   Just as Qian Quan was about to move his head forward a little while taking advantage of the strength of the wine, and at the same time Ding Linlang who received the signal slowly closed his eyes while taking advantage of the strength of the wine, her phone rang suddenly.

  The two of them woke up suddenly.

  Qian Quan returned to sitting upright, Ding Linlang let out a sigh of relief, and went to answer the phone.

   is a video call from her father.

   "Hey Dad~" Ding Linlang regained his composure in an instant.

   "Happy birthday, baby!" Father Ding said beamingly, and then he was puzzled, "Where are you? Why are you so red? Where's that boy Shitou?"

   "We're singing at KTV," Ding Linlang quickly pointed the camera at Qian Quan, who was sitting like a primary school student, "Say hello to my parents."

   "Uncle, Aunt Lan, good evening, have you eaten yet?" Qian Quan said with a smile.

   "Eat, what did you have for dinner?" Aunt Lan asked.

   "Barbecue and then eat cake."

"Um."

  Father Ding asked: "I see that both of your faces are a little red, have you been drinking?"

   "Yes, I drank some beer."

   "Well, drink less." Father Ding said and winked at Qian Quan.

  Qian Quan knew: "Well, I won't drink too much. There is class tomorrow, and we have to go back soon."

   "Well, go back early, there is still class tomorrow."

   Chatted for a while, then hung up the phone.

   "It's almost time, let's go back." Qian Quan suggested.

"Um."

  The two packed the cake and left the KTV with them.

  The two of them did not speak on the road, maintaining a strange silence.

  Qian Quan first sent Ding Linlang to Fudan, and then returned to the Sea Division by himself.

  Recalling the shocking moment just now, the feelings of the two after separation were complicated and unspeakable.

  In the end, they all tacitly dumped the blame on the alcohol.

  In fact, they didn't even think about what to say and how to get along with each other later. They had been friends for too long.

   That was the comfort zone of their relationship.

  After Qian Quan returned to the dormitory, Uncle Ding's video call came again.

  The quick-witted Qian Quanmiao understood Uncle Ding's intentions, deliberately let the camera scan his dormitory, and said, "Uncle, I have already sent Lin Lang back to school, don't worry."

   "Well, I know, I made a video call to check if you have arrived in the dormitory... Go to bed early." Uncle Ding said.

   "Okay, bye, Uncle."

  Hung up the phone, Qian Quan secretly thought it was a fluke, and then went to wash up.

  …

Saturday.

  Qian Quan went to the newly opened Vientiane Plaza in Minhua District as agreed.

  The plaza has five floors, of which the fifth floor was rented out by Zhao Chunjia, and the whole floor was renovated into a sports and fitness place: there is a gym, a yoga studio, and a basketball room...

   When Qian Quan took the escalator to the fifth floor, he found two or three young men and women handing out leaflets at each stairway:

   "Learn about the newly opened gym, get a 20% discount for the card."

  Qian Quan received a flyer. Seeing that the girl was about to follow Amway, he hurriedly said, "I'm applying for a basketball coach job. Understand, you can go get other customers."

   "Oh yes." The girl smiled cheerfully.

  Qian Quan arrived on the fifth floor and heard rhythmic and dynamic music coming from the gym. Young men and women on the treadmill were sweating in tights.

   Then, passing by the yoga studio, I saw a yoga instructor with exquisite appearance and a proud figure guiding the female students who came to try out the class.

  Qian Quan looked at it for a while, then walked towards the basketball room.

  Zhao Chunjia did not come today, but his wife, Ms. Huang Lingyan, Zhao Baiyu's mother, came to the scene.

  According to the staff member who asked him to sign a contract that day, this place will be mainly handed over to the proprietress to take care of it—that is, to come over occasionally to take a look, which is similar to taking care of his store and place.

  Huang Lingyan greeted Qian Quan enthusiastically when she saw Qian Quan: "Stone, you are here."

  With the relationship between alumni and senior sisters, there is nothing wrong with Huang Lingyan calling Qian Quan a nickname.

  At first, she wanted to call Xiaoqian or Xiaoquan, but it felt awkward, so Master Hu made a final decision: "Let's call it Shitou, it's a very good name."

   "Well," Qian Quan responded politely, "I think there are quite a lot of people here."

   Qian Quan glanced around the room as he spoke, and found that there were twenty or thirty children who came to the trial class today, ranging from three or four years old to eight or nine years old.

  With the parents who came with them, the whole basketball room was extremely lively.

   "These are appointments for today, and there will be so many tomorrow." Huang Lingyan said, "However, in the end, I don't know how many are willing to sign up."

   "Okay." Qian Quan laughed, "By the way, for the trial class, did they ask for anything?"

   "Hey, you coaches were supposed to teach the children directly.

   "But there are a few male parents over there who want to see the basketball level of your coaches first..."

  Huang Lingyan's tone was a little helpless.

   "Oh, they're going one-on-one?"

  Huang Lingyan smiled: "That's not true, they want you four coaches to play a game."

   "It's not a big deal to watch the excitement." Qian Quan laughed, "What do they say?"

   "They're all fine."

   "Then let's play a game." Qian Quan readily agreed, "Invite two more parents to come up together."

"good idea."

   Qian Quan and Huang Lingyan said, and walked towards the other three coaches together.

  Huang Lingyan told them Qian Quan's thoughts.

   Everyone agrees.

  Huang Lingyan went to discuss with the male parents again, except for one who was eager to try, the others smiled and waved their hands to refuse.

   Finally had to give up.

  Qian Quan and three other coaches played halftime 2V2 with 10 goals.

  Because it was an exhibition match, Qian Quan thought that everyone would cooperate with each other and everyone would play their best. Unexpectedly, when the match officially started, Qian Quan found that the three of them had a tendency to band together and isolate themselves.

   Needless to say, the two on the opposite side cooperated with each other tacitly, passing the ball, posting up, layup, and jumping, fully demonstrating their skills.

  The coach on his side kept asking Qian Quan to serve, but he hit his own when he received the ball, and he didn't cooperate at all.

   On the other hand, the two on the opposite side cooperated with him quite well, acting defensively.

  Qian Quan immediately understood what they meant, he didn't say anything, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he simply moved his hands and feet.

  In another defense, he deliberately let the opponent enter the penalty area, and then when the opponent made a layup, he nailed a blood cap and took the ball off directly.

  Afterwards, he ignored the request of the coach on his side, took out the three-point line and made a circle. When facing the opponent's defense, the two perfectly rhythmic changes of direction completely passed the defender.

   Then lightly toss the ball to the backboard, leap up, catch the ball and dunk.

  The scene was quiet for a second, and then burst into applause.

  Especially those seven or eight-year-old children, screaming extremely loudly.

   Two in one, please vote, thank you!
