49: The perfect date

The singing voice was heavenly!

It perfectly matched the guitar's melody.

The bass and treble of the guitar complemented each other perfectly, the strumming carried harmonics, the harmonics carried rhythm, and the rhythm carried the melody.

So this is how you can play the guitar?

Bystander: 666

An old gentleman from Shanghai put his hands on his hips, revealing his Hermès belt, and spoke in an appreciative tone: "Truly, it's the clown in the palace, the master among the people."

Cao Lang's fingers danced, his superb fingerstyle technique was a feast of public virtuosity. Combined with a song whose melody was explosively good, the area quickly filled with listeners.

Some young girls even spontaneously turned on their phone flashlights, waving them together to form a cheering squad.

Tang Si was dumbfounded.

"Bro, seriously?"

"You can really play the guitar? If you can, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Your technique could be called world-class, no exaggeration. I play guitar, why have I never heard of someone like you?"

The top-tier guitarist circle has never been very mainstream. In China, there are Li Yanliang, Chen Liang, Liu Jiazhuo, but none seem as skilled as this young man before me.

Liu Qingqin covered her mouth, moved to tears. At this moment, she felt like the happiest girl in the world!

Music strikes directly at the soul; the lyrics are profound and deeply meaningful.

The lyrics contained the name 'Qingqin' many times. Those who didn't understand might think it was just an artistic concept, but only Liu Qingqin knew it was her exclusive love song, absolutely impossible to have any other meaning.

"Baby~"

Liu Qingqin picked up her phone to record, tears streaming uncontrollably. This little girl really had a tear-incontinence constitution. She would shed tears when moved, disappointed, or excited.

In simple terms, this kind of girl is... very tender.

As long as you put your heart into her, the loyalty you reap far outweighs the effort.

As soon as the song ended, Liu Qingqin immediately stepped forward and hugged Cao Lang, giving him a big, fragrant kiss right in front of everyone.

"Beautiful, what a happy couple~"

Seeing this, the bystanders also clapped and offered their blessings.

"Sir, I must be ill, for I have also learned to judge by appearances."

"Before this brother played the guitar, I thought he wasn't good enough for this beauty. After he finished playing, I think he deserves such a beautiful girlfriend!"

...A middle-aged man with a full beard and a gray cap spoke excitedly:

"Sir, may I ask, was that song just now your original composition?"

Cao Lang returned the guitar to the bewildered Tang Si, affectionately ruffled the hair of the little loli in his arms, and admitted generously:

"That's right, it's my original."

"Excellent! I am Ms. Chen Duling's agent. Would you be interested in selling the copyright to this song? Our price will satisfy you."

"Oh, sorry, I have no intention of selling. This is a song I wrote for my girlfriend."

"Then, would you be interested in composing a song specifically for Ms. Chen Duling? Your talent is truly one in a million! Don't refuse right away. Here's my business card. I have full authority to represent Ms. Chen Duling. As you know, Ms. Chen Duling is a new-generation actress, with the potential to become the future's new film queen..."

The agent spoke very quickly, giving Cao Lang no chance to interrupt, afraid that if Cao Lang left, he would never find this talented man again.

"Alright, alright, I get it."

Cao Lang was getting a bit impatient. "I know that Chen Duling. She's decent-looking, but her acting still needs work, right? The road to becoming a film queen is long and arduous."

"I'm very busy and have no thoughts of collaborating for now. Thank you."

Cao Lang nodded, then took Liu Qingqin's small hand, preparing to leave the area.

Park security also came to maintain order: "Don't block the main pathways, everyone please disperse."

In this kind of international metropolis, security guards are also very well-mannered, promptly dispersing crowds to avoid corresponding risks.

The middle-aged man claiming to be Chen Duling's agent grew anxious at the sight and, in a last-ditch effort, shamelessly stuffed his business card into Cao Lang's hand.

"Please take it, you might need me someday! Also, I have another identity as a talent scout. If your girlfriend wants to debut, just contact me directly. I guarantee she'll land major roles right from her debut!"

Cao Lang glanced at Liu Qingqin, who was happily dizzy, and to avoid further pestering from the middle-aged man, casually took the card and put it in his pocket.

"Alright, tired from walking. Let's go home."

"Mm-hmm!" Liu Qingqin nodded obediently, tugging at Cao Lang's sleeve, just like a good little girl.

The two left under the envious gazes of the bystanders, while Tang Si, like a clown, hurriedly left the scene of the incident.

Many people had recorded the scene just now, and some even edited and posted it on TikTok. Caption: 【Went to the park today and encountered a guitar god!】

"Baby~ what other strengths do you have that I don't know about?"

On the way back, Liu Qingqin was hopping and skipping, her twin ponytails fluttering lively. There was none of the shyness she had when they first met.

"Baby~ your musical talent is incredible! You sang super well! Can you sing it for me alone one more time? I want to record it as my ringtone."

Cao Lang smirked mischievously and placed his hand on Liu Qingqin's waist, holding her. Though he really wanted to feel the softness, he knew to distinguish the occasion. He wouldn't grope her in public.

"If you serve me well, I'll play for you."

"How do you want me to serve you?"

"Hmm... haven't thought about it yet. You'll have to figure that out yourself."

Cao Lang wore a cheeky expression. He felt especially relaxed and decompressed when he was with Liu Qingqin.

"Men are all big pigs' feet. Are you thinking naughty things again in your head?"

Although Liu Qingqin had just experienced intimacy, she still blushed terribly when the topic came up.

Then, spotting a small shop selling fried skewers with only a few people scattered in line at the window, seemingly to escape the topic, she immediately ran over and bought two starch sausages.

The starch sausages were fried golden and crispy, their aroma enticing. They looked very appetizing.

"Here, have one, my musical genius boyfriend."

Liu Qingqin generously handed one over, then ate hers with relish.

Starch sausages have a nationally uniform size, not very thick, about 4cm in diameter.

Liu Qingqin opened her cherry-like mouth, took a small bite, chewed slowly, then showed an expression of bliss.

"So delicious~"

Seeing her like this, Cao Lang took a big bite, eating as he spoke: "Qingqin, eat like me. Let's see how big a bite you can take."

"Ah~"

Liu Qingqin tried hard to open her mouth wide, managed about five or six centimeters, then couldn't go further. She tried to bite but couldn't break off a piece.

"It's too big, I can't eat it."

Cao Lang sighed.

"Your mouth is really too small... but you're really so beautiful."

Liu Qingqin looked at Cao Lang, not fully understanding, and continued eating her sausage in small, relishing bites.

After finishing the starch sausages, Liu Qingqin remembered she had an elective class tonight. As a good student who never skipped class, she was very conflicted about whether to skip to stay with Cao Lang.

"Baby, I have class at eight tonight. I probably can't have dinner with you today."

"Then I'll walk you back," Cao Lang said.

"No need, you should go back and sleep some more. I'm already very happy you came to take a walk with me. Walking me back would waste too much of your time."

After all this activity, she was already feeling physically tired and weak. Cao Lang must be tired too... so Liu Qingqin insisted on returning to school by herself, telling Cao Lang to go back and get more sleep.

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Cao Lang hailed a car for her and watched Liu Qingqin leave.

He thought to himself, this date could be considered perfect, right?
