Chapter 301 Makes an unpleasant sound
These days, KTV is still a popular choice for young people to gather and have fun.
However, in the future, these once bustling establishments will gradually decline to deserted ones, with large numbers of chain KTVs closing down. Those that survive will become the main activity venues for middle-aged and elderly people.
Of course, business karaoke rooms where you can sing while touching things are a special case and are not included in this category.
Yu Huan stood patiently outside the Windsor Supermarket, hands on her hips.
He turned to look at Yu Songnian beside him and smiled brightly, "Why don't you go pick out something to eat?"
Yu Songnian raised his hand and touched his stomach, and slowly said, "There's not any room in my stomach yet, so I don't really want to eat anything right now, and I'm not very interested in these snacks. You two sisters can handle it."
This pretentious tone made Yu Huan shake her head and chuckle, then she carefully looked around the supermarket.
Although the supermarket in this Windsor KTV is not large, the shelves are arranged very closely together, with a wide variety of snacks on display.
On the cabinet against the wall, there are fruit platters and small cakes on display.
In the refrigerated display cases of the beverage section, bottles and jars are displayed in a variety of colors.
The tall and outstanding Yu Chengcheng carried a small basket in one hand and linked arms with Lin Yourong in the other, the two talking quietly.
In Yu Huan's view, Yu Chengcheng would occasionally chuckle softly, and she had no idea what amusing things the two of them were talking about.
Lin Yourong bent down slightly and took out several bottles of beer from the liquor cabinet, placing them steadily in the basket.
At this time, KTVs also have promotions where customers can deduct the cost of a private room from their supermarket purchases.
After they finished shopping, Yu Huan took the receipt and went to the service desk in the lobby.
With everything in order, the group followed a waiter toward their reserved private room.
In the corridor, all the doors were tightly shut.
It was Wednesday, and looking through the small windows, you could see that many of the private rooms were empty.
As you pass by the brightly lit private room, you can faintly hear music coming from inside, but after just a few steps, the sound becomes muffled and indistinct, indicating that the soundproofing is quite good.
Yu Huan held Lin Yourong's hand, bent down slightly, and whispered in her ear, "Wife, did you used to go to karaoke often?"
Lin Yourong tilted her head, listening intently to Yu Huan's words.
Without hesitation, she gently shook her head and whispered, "Rarely, it's mostly during holidays when I'm with my family."
"Oh." Yu Huan nodded knowingly.
The waiter leading the way stopped slowly, then turned around and pushed open the door to the private room: "This way, please."
Yu Huan nodded slightly, and led Lin Yourong in, one in front and one behind, as they walked in gracefully.
Yu Chengcheng and Yu Songnian chatted and laughed side by side. Yu Chengcheng was playfully punching her younger brother's arm when she saw this. She quickened her pace and followed closely behind him.
The waiter made some adjustments in the private room and then took his leave.
The room was somewhat dimly lit, with colorful lights shimmering and dancing on the ceiling and surrounding walls, creating a dreamlike and hazy atmosphere.
Yu Huan set the central air conditioning to 16 degrees Celsius on the control panel on the wall, then turned to look at the three people sitting upright on the leather sofa and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What are you all sitting there like idiots for? Request a song!"
Yu Songnian scratched his head and looked at Yu Chengcheng in the middle.
He coughed slightly and said, "You guys pick your songs first, sing them first, I'll sit for a while."
Yu Chengcheng also turned her head away. She looked at Lin Yourong and continued the conversation, saying, "I'll sit for a while too, Sister Yourong—"
Social terrorists all looked awkward at this moment, let alone Lin Yourong, who is a true social phobic.
Seeing this, Yu Huan immediately strode from in front of the screen to the karaoke machine in the corner and said with a smile, "Since you are all so modest, then I will set an example for everyone and sing a song!"
Even so, Yu Huan first searched for 'Lin Su' on the karaoke machine screen, but failed to find his wife's new song.
It's probably because it's only been online for a short time, right?
These days, almost all songs in karaoke bars are copyright-free, so Yu Huan doesn't really care.
However, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was actually a version of "Hostage" featuring the first wife!
Yu Huan, who had watched the song countless times while slacking off, naturally knew that this was the song she sang during the championship battle of Yu Chengqing's group!
It will definitely also include stage video—
It's it!
Although I had experience making demos and recording vocals before, and felt that my singing skills had improved significantly, I had only heard this song before, but had never sung it.
Yu Huan, who was only trying to liven up the atmosphere, was not intimidated at all.
I decisively tapped the plus sign with my fingertip, and then ordered the best dishes for my little sister and little brother.
As for the first wife, I directly chose her ringtone, "Because of Love," and we'll sing a duet together!
After turning off the original recording, Yu Huan strode over to the coffee table.
He took off his mask and tossed it onto the table, then bent down and picked up the microphone: "Hello, hello, hello..."
Yu Huan tested the sound and then stood on one side of the big screen.
As the camera pans across the screen, Lin Yourong appears on stage, holding a guitar and sitting on a high stool.
At that time, she had long hair draped over her shoulders, wore a red batwing top and a black chiffon skirt, which looked simple yet elegant, exuding femininity.
I have to say, Sister Ru really has something special; the makeup and styling she did for Lin Yourong were a perfect match for the song.
The camera zooms in, focusing on her slender fingers resting on the strings.
As she plucked the strings, a melodious prelude slowly began to play...
"Oh my! It's Rong Jie's version of 'Hostage'!" Yu Chengcheng exclaimed sharply.
Yu Huan, forcing himself to break the deadlock, put the microphone to his lips, his reverberating voice echoing in the private room: "Ahem, I'm just showing off my limited skills!"
He turned his head away as he spoke.
His gaze fell on Lin Yourong, who was gradually leaning back on the sofa, and saw that she was listening attentively.
Her hat was pulled low, and her mask covered most of her face, making it difficult to discern her expression.
As the soothing prelude played, Yu Huan bowed slightly and said, "Wife, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong bent down, picked up another microphone from the coffee table, and held it to her lips, her voice tinged with suppressed laughter: "You sing~"
"Alright! Mentor, please turn around for me!" Yu Huan said jokingly, turning her head to look at the screen.
But then I noticed the last little dot of the countdown was quietly disappearing.
He hurriedly and awkwardly tried to keep time, making an unpleasant sound: "You and I... have a dangerous relationship..."
It was like a duck quacking incoherently, and the originally melodious and soothing accompaniment seemed to be shattered by his singing.
Yu Chengcheng looked at Yu Huan's serious back and then glanced at her beautiful sister-in-law singing and playing the piano on the screen.
Even though she was already used to Huan Ge's singing voice, the stark contrast still made her feel uneasy about living in Bengbu.
The first to burst into laughter was a loud "Hahahaha!" that seemed to pierce the ceiling of the private room.
Lin Yourong, who had no expectations for Yu Huan's singing, was infected by Yu Chengcheng. She was stunned at first, and then could not help but burst into giggles.
Yu Songnian's shoulders trembled incessantly, but he tried his best to hold back and not laugh too loudly.
After all, he felt that apart from Sister Rong, everyone here was pretty much the same.
"Each of us is holding another part of ourselves hostage~" Yu Huan sang as she turned around and glanced at the three people who were laughing loudly.
Yu Chengcheng was seen leaning back and forth, patting the sofa repeatedly with both hands, almost laughing to tears.
She suddenly clutched her neck, coughed violently a few times, and exclaimed, "No, no, I'm about to laugh myself to death!"
When Lin Yourong and Yu Huan's eyes met, her almond-shaped eyes under the brim of her hat turned into crescent moons with joy.
Yu Huan, however, remained completely unaffected. She turned back to look at the screen and continued speaking in that off-key voice: "I thought this completed the definition of love~ So I'll obediently protect you..."
gradually.
The chorus arrived as scheduled.
He sang with all his might: "Shoot me hard in the heart~ Let everything be reduced to nothing in this loud bang..."
Just then, the door was slowly pushed open.
The waitresses were probably already used to this kind of wailing and howling.
After walking a few steps inside, I suddenly caught a glimpse of that handsome profile with its distinct features.
She couldn't help but stop and look at it several times before slowly pushing the cart to the coffee table.
He smiled and said loudly to the three people on the sofa, "Excuse me for disturbing you, these are the drinks you ordered."
Although Lin Yourong was sitting on the outside, Yu Chengcheng, who was no longer so overjoyed, quickly turned her head and replied with a grin, "Okay, thank you!"
A few moments.
Yu Chengcheng watched as the waitress, after arranging the drinks and snacks neatly on the coffee table, took her leave.
Before leaving, she glanced at Yu Huan several times. As the door closed, she jokingly said, "Although my brother Huan sings terribly, he's quite charming. This waiter's eyes are glued to him."
Yu Songnian chuckled upon hearing this and chimed in, "Couldn't it be that you recognized the leader?"
Yu Chengcheng said casually, "Songnian, it just means you don't understand, or you didn't look closely enough. That infatuated look in your eyes, with a slight squint, clearly shows you're a fangirl seeing a handsome guy. If she saw a celebrity, her eyes would definitely widen, right? Although some women do widen their eyes unconsciously when they're fascinated by a handsome man, squint definitely means—"
"What if they're nearsighted?" Yu Songnian suddenly interrupted her.
"Brother, I just said you weren't careful enough!" Yu Chengcheng chuckled lightly, then explained seriously, "If someone is nearsighted, how can they read the small print on the invoice from half a meter away in such a dark environment?"
The more Yu Songnian thought about it, the more he realized it made sense, and he gave a thumbs up in astonishment: "Damn, you're amazing!"
After Yu Chengcheng finished her eloquent and persuasive speech, she pulled her hat brim up slightly and, seeing Yu Songnian's convinced expression, raised her chin slightly.
"The purity of true love has come to such an end~ Are you satisfied? Let's not lie~" Yu Huan sang the last line with all her might.
The first wife's version of "Hostage" has no ending. Every second of this phenomenal satellite TV program is incredibly precious.
The screen flashed briefly, and then the song automatically switched.
Yu Huan turned around and saw Yu Chengcheng with a slightly smug expression.
With a mischievous smile, he imitated a broadcaster's tone and said in a strong voice, "Next, please welcome Ms. Yu Chengcheng to bring us her signature song—'Bicycle'!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong quickly picked up the microphone from her side and handed it to Yu Chengcheng.
Yu Chengcheng immediately gave an embarrassed smile and waved her hand, "Sister Yourong, you sing!"
To the strains of a melodious prelude, Yu Huan, microphone in hand, sat down casually next to Lin You Rong.
He still remembers the scene of his little sister laughing so hard she almost fell over, and he's definitely not going to let her get away with it!
Yu Huan smiled and took the microphone from Lin Yourong's hand, forcibly shoving it into her arms: "No rush, I've chosen a song for everyone. Orange, it's your turn, so you can sing first."
Yu Chengcheng's lips moved slightly: "Okay..."
She hesitated before raising the microphone to her mouth.
As the intro progressed, she took a deep breath, straightened her expression, and slowly began to sing in Cantonese: "Don't, don't assume I knew~ everything was done for me..."
Because Lin Yourong, the mentor, was in front of him, his voice trembled uncontrollably.
However, she sang with great passion, her voice rising and falling, and her rhythm varying from fast to slow.
Compared to Yu Huan's casual and unpleasant voice, she made an unpleasant voice with utmost seriousness.
"It's hard to leave, I want to hold you tighter, life seems like a vast wilderness..."
It wasn't until the chorus that I started to get into the zone and stopped trembling so much.
Lin Yourong had been prepared beforehand, and even amidst the unbearable, broken gong sounds, her head was still able to nod slightly in sync with the music.
After a long two minutes or so.
The 'adapted' version of 'Bicycle', now completely unrecognizable, was finally finished.
As the song ended, Yu Chengcheng put her mouth to the microphone, turned to Lin Yourong, and asked, "Sister Yourong, do you think my singing needs improvement?"
Say it.
He then placed the microphone on the coffee table.
Lin Yourong was speechless for a moment, and fell into deep thought...
She felt that Yu Huan just had a very poor pitch and tone.
He can play fingerstyle guitar, write songs and compose music, has a very good sense of rhythm, and almost every word he sings is on beat.
Yu Chengcheng is truly tone-deaf; she can't find the right pitch at all, has absolutely no breath control, and her sense of rhythm is a complete mess. She needs improvement in every way.
In short.
Hopeless.
To the untrained eye, the two cousins' singing voices might seem equally good, but Lin Yourong knew perfectly well what was going on.
Lin Yourong thought it over and over again, deliberating repeatedly.
As the intro to "Sunny Day" began, she noticed Yu Chengcheng's expectant expression and thought, "What needs improvement?" But if she were to list everything out in detail, it would just show how low her emotional intelligence is."
Based on Lin Yourong's experience, it's natural to first offer a few words of praise before pointing out the problems!
But there's really nothing to praise, and it's all problems...
She could only nod slightly and say, "Chengcheng, your Cantonese is quite standard..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
Lin Yourong coughed lightly, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
"Orange, what you mean by 'you have Sister Rong' is that you only have standard Cantonese, and that's about it. You're hopeless, so let's just leave it at that, hahaha!" Yu Huan enthusiastically became the translator.
Lin Yourong had been thinking the same thing all along, and was about to offer a slight rebuttal or say something polite, but she didn't know where to begin...
After the piano intro, "Sunny Day" begins its verse.
Upon hearing Yu Huan's words, Yu Chengcheng immediately rolled her eyes.
Jay Chou's faint harmonies reached her ears without her noticing. She glanced at the younger brother beside her.
The young man sat like a quail, not taking the initiative to sing into the microphone, but his lips were turned up in a wide smile, clearly watching from the sidelines.
She quickly turned around and tapped the touch panel on the wall behind her to pause the song.
He decisively changed the subject and started bullying the younger brother.
Yu Chengcheng patted her little brother's sturdy shoulder with one hand, picked up the microphone with the other, and handed it to him, saying, "It's your turn, Song Nian. Why aren't you singing? This is your must-sing song every time you go to karaoke!"
Yu Songnian didn't immediately raise his hand to take the microphone. Instead, he moved his lips and said weakly, "Sister, can I sing the original version?"
“We don’t usually play the original recordings when we go to karaoke, what special treatment are you trying to get?” Yu Chengcheng glanced at him sideways.
"Okay..." Yu Songnian weakly took the microphone.
Seeing this, Yu Chengcheng suppressed a smile, turned around and clicked the repeat icon on the control panel.
At the same time, Yu Huan glanced at the five 330ml bottles of Budweiser on the coffee table and asked curiously, "Which lady wants to drink today?"
The sound of the piano echoed softly in the private room. Upon hearing this, Yu Chengcheng raised her voice slightly and said, "I asked Sister Yourong if she wanted to drink, and she said if I did, she would have a little with me!"
"Oh." Yu Huan nodded knowingly.
Yu Chengcheng chuckled and added, "Songnian has to drive and deliver goods early tomorrow morning, and you're a lightweight, so you two guys can just drink Coke!"
“Standardization has its effects!” Yu Huan bent down to pick up the bottle opener next to the ashtray, smiled and said, “I’ll have a drink with you too.”
joke!
Even if he has a low alcohol tolerance, he could probably drink at least five or six of these small bottles of beer, right?
Yu Huan opened three bottles of wine in a row.
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
Why does it feel like all I hear in my ears is Jay Chou's harmonies?
With professionals present, the younger brother, who used to shout the loudest, was now clearly restrained, humming softly along with the accompaniment, trying to get away with it.
He put down the bottle opener, grabbed the microphone from the coffee table, and said mischievously, "Did you leave your vocal cords at home? Speak louder!"
Lin Yourong chuckled as she took off her mask.
Yu Chengcheng burst into laughter and nodded, loudly echoing, "That's right!"
Yu Songnian glanced at Yu Huan with resentment, but was somewhat provoked and decided to go all out.
Her slightly parted lips moved more dramatically, and her voice rose seven-tenths: "How much longer until I can be by your side... Maybe I'll feel a little better when the sun comes out..."
His voice, which was already deep and resonant when he spoke, sounded extremely muffled, as if it had been stuffed into a small box.
The cheerful and catchy song "Sunny Day" was sung by him as if it were a disaster scene.
The pitch was erratic, sometimes ridiculously high, sometimes frighteningly low, and every word seemed to be trembling and begging for mercy.
It was completely off-beat; the originally brisk rhythm became as slow as an ox pulling a cart.
Inside the private room, the music played like a surging wave.
Unpleasant sounds assaulted my eardrums wave after wave.
Yu Huan poured a little beer into three glasses, swirled them slightly, and then poured them into the trash can next to him.
After a brief cleaning, fill the container sequentially.
Then, Yu Huan grinned, showing off his bright white teeth, and raised his glass: "Come on, let's have a drink, the three of us!"
