F4 High School Band Makeover chapter 14

Chapter 14

Shen Beiyu nervously swallowed the food in his mouth and burped.

He kept his eyes downcast, not saying a word.

Bai Sinian could feel the aura of this big brother, Shen Beiyu was obviously very afraid of him.

“These junk foods…” The big brother trailed off, then swallowed his words: “If you like to eat them, I’ll take you out to eat in the future.”

“Really?” Shen Beiyu’s eyes suddenly lit up as he looked up at his brother.

His brother nodded with a grunt.

Then he shifted his gaze to Bai Sinian: “Is he your classmate?”

Shen Beiyu showed a sweet smile: “Yes! He’s our manager classmate! This is my brother, Lu Ming.”

“H-hello, big brother Lu.” Bai Sinian had never known that Shen Beiyu’s brother had a different surname, in the past when he was a fan, he only knew that Shen Beiyu was a well-protected child, innocent and lovely, but he didn’t know about his family situation.

“Mm,” Lu Ming looked at the food in Bai Sinian and Shen Beiyu’s hands, “Finish eating, I’ll send you home.”

Shen Beiyu immediately winked at Bai Sinian, signaling him to eat quickly, it seems he was going to send Bai Sinian home too, Bai Sinian didn’t mind, he was happy to walk fewer steps.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, frantically stuffing the barbecue and potato slices into their mouths, quietly competing to see who would finish first.

When the two of them simultaneously swallowed the last bite, they finally burst into laughter at each other, like two immature elementary school students.

Lu Ming finally withdrew his gaze from Shen Beiyu and walked towards the Rolls-Royce: “Get in the car.”

Sitting in this smooth Rolls-Royce, the seats were soft and comfortable, Bai Sinian instinctively sat in the back seat, and Shen Beiyu sat next to him to keep him company.

Lu Ming was cold and indifferent throughout, like a detached tyrant, Shen Beiyu seemed a little afraid of him, and they didn’t have much common topic.

After the car started, there were dozens of seconds of silence in the car, as if isolated in another world.

“Where’s the guitar I bought you?” Lu Ming’s crisp voice came from the driver’s seat.

Shen Beiyu obediently replied: “My classmate said there’s a guitar here, so I didn’t bring it out.”

“Mm.”

Then the car fell silent again.

It was so awkward that Bai Sinian wanted to dig a hole! He guessed that Lu Ming must be especially good to Shen Beiyu, after all, he bought him a guitar and drove to pick him up, but Shen Beiyu still seemed a little afraid of him.

The two of them were obviously not biological brothers, so there was a sense of estrangement in their relationship. Perhaps the elder brother is like a father, so Shen Beiyu is a little afraid of him.

“Where does Bai Sinian live?” Lu Ming asked, looking in the rearview mirror at Bai Sinian.

“Just in the community next to the Long Bridge.”

Lu Ming withdrew his gaze and focused on driving: “Mm.”

Then silence again.

Bai Sinian thought to himself, no wonder it feels so awkward, this big brother is definitely a conversation killer! Or he could be called a topic terminator.

The car passed by the school gate, and Bai Sinian suddenly saw a familiar figure, wasn’t that Bian Rui!

“It’s Bian Rui!” Bai Sinian shouted, leaning out the window.

Shen Beiyu also leaned out to look outside, and Lu Ming slowed down the car.

Bian Rui seemed to be being harassed by a middle-aged man, he was very impatient and trying to shake off the man’s hand, but the man was persistent and refused to let go of his wrist.

“Stop the car! Stop the car! He seems to be harassed!” Bai Sinian was a little anxious for a moment.

Bian Rui was so handsome, after he became popular, he had frequently scolded those who harassed him, often trending on hot searches, Bai Sinian couldn’t believe that he was already experiencing this in high school, he wanted to vent all the anger he had towards those who had harassed Bian Rui over the years!

As soon as Lu Ming stopped the car, Bai Sinian pushed open the door and rushed out.

He ran up behind Bian Rui and firmly grabbed the man’s wrist, twisting his hand behind his back, the man struggled instinctively, and with a turn he ran into Bai Sinian’s fist.

“Perverted bastard! At your age, you dare to harass a high school boy!”

Bai Sinian was furious, thinking about the humiliation Bian Rui had suffered all these years, he wanted to send this perverted bastard to the police station right now.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to punch him again, Bian Rui grabbed his wrist to stop him.

He looked at Bian Rui puzzledly, completely confused.

At this time, Shen Beiyu had also run over: “Are you okay!”

Bian Rui shook his head, looking a little helpless as he said to Bai Sinian: “He’s my dad.”

“Ah…”

Bai Sinian released his hand in horror, how could he have beaten up his uncle, looking at the uncle glaring angrily at him, Bai Sinian panickedly backed up a few steps.

Lu Ming also came over, looking at the scene with a wry smile.

“Who are you? Are you crazy!” The middle-aged man couldn’t help but curse.

“Uncle, I, I’m sorry… I thought he was the one harassing Bian Rui…” Bai Sinian had experienced several embarrassing situations that night.

At this moment, he felt even more unable to face Bian Rui.

Bian Rui smiled bitterly: “No, I had a slight disagreement with my dad.”

Bian Rui’s dad was still angry: “You’re his classmate? What business do you have interfering in the matters between my son and me!”

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Bai Sinian didn’t dare to say much.

Standing aside, Shen Beiyu clenched his fists angrily and said in a small voice: “He, he didn’t do it on purpose!”

Bian Rui’s dad looked in the direction of the sound, as if just reacting: “So you’re the one who plays the guitar? I said, you young people, can’t you focus on your studies first! Always slacking off!”

The just emerging Shen Beiyu immediately retracted back into his shell.

Lu Ming stepped in front of Shen Beiyu, his gaze cold and sharp, scolding in a harsh tone: “My little brother is not for outsiders to educate.”

“Oh, you’re his brother? No wonder you raised such a brother…”

“Shut up!” Bian Rui finally pulled his dad back a step, otherwise the next second he would have been hit by Lu Ming’s fist.

“Sorry for the delay.” Bian Rui had a slight apologetic look on his face.

Lu Ming examined Bian Rui’s dad’s attire, the style was very unique, with distinctive accessories, bold patterns and color matching, and the shoulder bag with the “Infinite Media” logo on the back.

Lu Ming sneered: “A music producer? You yourself are involved in music, but you don’t allow your son to play music?”

This seemed to have hit Bian Rui’s dad’s sore spot, he jumped up and wanted to argue with Lu Ming, but was held back by Bian Rui.

Bai Sinian was shocked to see Bian Rui’s music producer dad, wait, the Bian surnamed music producer? The only one he knew was Bian Guang!

The producer who was invited to the popular music variety show nationwide and composed songs for the once hugely popular singer!

But he had nothing to do with “Dazzling Star”, could it be that there has been a father-son feud all along?!

Bai Sinian immediately tried to mediate: “Big brother Lu, big brother Lu, calm down, for Shen Beiyu’s sake, don’t argue with Shen Beiyu’s classmate’s dad!”

“Uncle, you also don’t get angry, just now it was my fault, let me persuade Bian Rui to stop doing music and focus on his studies.”

Seeing Bai Sinian quickly kneel down, Bian Rui had a touch of gratitude in his heart, thinking that Bai Sinian stood up for him, but now that sense of gratitude was completely gone.

It was obvious that Bian Guang didn’t listen, he was still angry at Lu Ming’s words.

It was precisely because he was involved in music that his wife eventually divorced him and ran away with their son, and now his career path was bumpy, he didn’t want his son to experience the same kind of suffering!

Someone who has never had a son, how could they possibly understand his feelings!

He glared at Lu Ming furiously: “What do you know! I look at you, you’re just a little brat who hasn’t grown up yet! Do I need you to teach me how to raise my son! Don’t fucking point fingers at my life!”

“Oh? Want to say that again?” Lu Ming was not afraid at all, he took out a business card from his pocket and held it in front of Bian Guang with two fingers.

Bian Guang glanced at the business card and fell silent.

Bai Sinian was very curious, his gaze couldn’t help but stare at the business card, and suddenly, his eyes widened.

The president of “Zhen Di” organic milk!!

It should be known that this company is the sponsor of various variety shows and TV dramas, known as the “big boss”! Not only the entire entertainment circle, but even ordinary people are familiar with this brand.

Bai Sinian felt that his heart couldn’t take it tonight, so he covered his chest and tried to calm down.

He didn’t know that his idol had such a background! It seems that the idol chasing he did before was indeed following the character setting, whatever others wanted you to see, they would show you, and what they didn’t want you to know, you couldn’t pry it out.

Bai Sinian thought that he couldn’t offend either side, he continued to be the peacemaker.

“More enemies doesn’t help, more friends is better, there will be plenty of opportunities for collaboration in the future, right?” Bai Sinian frantically winked at Bian Rui and Shen Beiyu.

Bian Rui had a blank expression: “Dad, just say less.”

Shen Beiyu tugged on Lu Ming’s sleeve: “Brother, let’s go back…”

Lu Ming was very attentive to Shen Beiyu, he picked it up and put it down, looked deeply at Bian Guang, and turned to walk towards the Rolls-Royce at the roadside, opening the passenger door for Shen Beiyu.

Bai Sinian waved to Shen Beiyu, signaling them to leave first, Shen Beiyu nodded understandingly.

Sitting in the car, Shen Beiyu rolled down the window and waved goodbye to Bai Sinian.

Bai Sinian waved back with a smile.

“Uncle, I’m sorry, I was a little hasty just now.” Bai Sinian continued to apologize, and also spoke for Lu Ming: “Shen Beiyu’s brother was just protecting his little brother, he didn’t mean any harm.”

Bian Guang was still shocked by Lu Ming’s identity and had no time to respond to Bai Sinian.

Bian Rui couldn’t be bothered with his dad, turned and continued walking towards home, Bai Sinian strode to catch up: “Bian Rui, Bian Rui, are you arguing with your dad?”

“Yeah, he wants me to focus on my studies and not follow in his footsteps.” Bian Rui had one hand in his pocket, the other hand grabbing the strap of the backpack on his shoulder.

“What’s so good about music! At your age, how can you sleep without focusing on your studies?” Bian Guang’s voice came from behind.

Bian Rui frowned: “None of your business.”

Bian Guang: “I’m your dad! What do you mean none of my business! I give your mom 2000 a month for your living expenses! It’s my duty to manage you!”

Seeing the two were about to fire up and engage in a heated exchange, Bai Sinian stood between the two, persuading in a good tone: “Uncle, uncle, you go back and rest first, I’ll help persuade Bian Rui! Really, we’ve already formed a study group! We’ve really put learning as the priority!”

Probably exhausted from arguing all night, Bian Guang was indeed tired, he didn’t want to argue with his son every time they met, so he just told Bai Sinian: “Classmate, come, add me on WeChat, if Bian Rui has any problems, tell me.”

“Okay, okay.” Bai Sinian hurriedly took out his phone and scanned the code to add Bian Guang as a friend.

Bian Rui glared silently at Bai Sinian, Bai Sinian didn’t notice, his gaze was fixed on Bian Guang’s phone screen, thinking that as long as he added the future big producer’s WeChat, he wouldn’t have to worry about lacking resources in the future!

He really is a qualified and lucky manager!

Then he saw Bian Guang change the WeChat remark name to “Son’s Classmate”.

Bai Sinian: …

Uncle, don’t you want to ask what my name is?!!!
