Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Lonely Shadow at the End of the Song
In Shanghai, Yan Jia on the stage of Haidilao is like a princess in white, with a touch of sadness on her face, blending with the sad and tactful piano music, Qianying rises and falls with the tone of the piano playing, and ten slender fingers are like lively elves beating flexibly on the piano surface.
When Yan Jia played the last note of this piano piece, the sadness that originally permeated the air receded like a tide, and then it was filled with thunderous applause from the audience.
Yan Jia got up and walked to the front of the stage, and after bowing slowly to all the diners in the Haidilao store, he stepped back from the stage, and the applause of the diners in the Haidilao store was still endless, and many people got up and cheered.
Immediately after the middle-aged man came to the stage again, the lights in the Haidilao Hotel became brighter, and he took the microphone in his hand and said loudly to the diners:
"Do you think Ms. Yan Jia plays well?"
"Good. Diners applauded and cheered.
"Then we look forward to the next friend to bring us another surprise, okay?" The middle-aged man responded to the emotional climax of the diners, encouraging more people to participate in their store's activities tonight.
"Good. The audience is still cheering enthusiastically, after all, why not enjoy the show while eating?
Since you dare to go on stage, you must be a person with a certain strength and talent, otherwise you will not find a step down for yourself when you go to power.
Amid the constant cheers of the middle-aged man, another diner finally walked on stage, a boy about Yang Yi's age, bringing an enthusiastic dance.
Yan Jia returned to his seat, and Yang Yi said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to play the piano so well, a little unexpected." ”
"Brother Yang, you're laughing at me again. Hearing Yang Yi's words, Yan Jia said with some embarrassment, and the elegant and intellectual temperament on the stage was covered by the vigor of youth.
"Haha, I'm not laughing at you, but I really think you play well, and I've heard this song many times before. Yang Yi said seriously.
"Ah, Brother Yang has heard this song before, could it be that Brother Yang's girlfriend played it for you?" Yan Jia covered her mouth and snickered.
Yang Yi didn't answer Yan Jia's question, Yan Jia seemed to realize that he had said a question that shouldn't be said, stuck out his tongue mischievously, took the juice in his hand and said to Yang Yi: "Come, Brother Yang, let me toast you with juice instead of wine." ”
Yang Yi heard Yan Jia's words, and also raised the glass in his hand and touched Yan Jia lightly.
If Yan Jia's stage performance is a sad dance, then the boy on the stage at this time is embracing passionately, but Yang Yi didn't even raise his eyelids, perhaps because although Yang Yi is similar to the boy on stage, he has a different state of mind.
"Brother Yang, do you think that boy dances well?" Yan Jia was also attracted by the gorgeous dancing of the stage boy, and said to Yang Yi.
"Good jump. Yang Yi glanced at the boy on the stage and said.
"Brother Yang doesn't seem to be very interested in dance. Yan Jia noticed that Yang Yi had not watched the dance on the stage and said.
"yes, I still prefer to listen to people play the piano. Yang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Okay, then, if I have a chance in the future, I'll play another song for Brother Yang?" Yan Jia said happily when she heard Yang Yi's words.
"No problem. Yang Yi agreed without thinking about it, after all, wouldn't it be nice for someone to play the piano for himself?
The good times always seem to end inadvertently, and when Yang Yi was about to get up to pay, the waiter from Haidilao sent a beautiful gift and a supplementary card.
"Sir, this is your girlfriend participating in the store's activities tonight, and the store will give you a 1,000 yuan voucher card, which you can use in the national chain of Haidilao in the future. After the waiter finished speaking, he handed the card and a gift to Yang Yi.
"Since your girlfriend's piano performance tonight is perfect, the two of you have also been free of charge under the indication of our store manager, I wish you two a happy meal in our restaurant. After saying these words, the waiter turned away, as if he was afraid to disturb the handsome man and woman who was dating at this time.
However, what is very surprising is that when Yan Jia was said by the waiter to be Yang Yi's girlfriend, there was no excuse, and even a little acquiescence.
Regarding this situation, Yang Yi himself was a so-called five, and he was going to explain it a little, but after seeing that Yan Jia did not react, he gave up the idea of explaining, so as not to describe it more and more black, of course, there is really no need for that.
After the waiter left, Yang also handed the supplementary card and gift to Yan Jia, and said: "It seems that I have gained a lot tonight, not only did I not have to pay for a piano piece of your piano music, but also got an additional supplementary card of 1,000 yuan, come, this is your trophy tonight." ”
"Brother Yang, if you don't take it, it's useless for me to take it. Yan Jia excused himself.
"How's that going to work? You got it tonight, and they didn't come to give it to me. Yang Yi said with a smile.
In the end, Yan Jia didn't refuse, and accepted it.
The two walked down the street after eating, Yang Yi looked at the time and saw that it was already more than nine o'clock, so he said to Yan Jia: "It's not too early, or I'll send you back first." ”
"No, Brother Yang, the place where I live is only a few minutes away from here, I can just go back by myself. Yan Jia said.
"How can that be? Letting a beautiful woman go back alone in the middle of the night doesn't it seem like I'm not a gentleman. Yang Yi joked with a smile.
Hearing Yang Yi's words, Yan Jia also nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked side by side, neither speak, but walked slowly in the breeze, surrounded by the sound of cars whistling by.
After walking for seven or eight minutes, the two came to the place where they had just begun to meet, and then walked a short distance to the downstairs where Yan Jia lived.
"Brother Yang, I'm here, you should go back early. Yan Jia stopped and said to Yang Yi.
"Well, then you go back and rest early. Yang Yi nodded and said.
"Well, then Brother Yang, I'll go back first, and you should pay attention to safety on your own road. ”
After Yan Jia said goodbye to Yang Yi, he went upstairs, and after a while, Yan Jia's figure disappeared.
After Yang Yi saw Yan Jia who disappeared from his field of vision, he turned around and walked to the nearby shop.
"Boss, come and pack six cigarettes. Yang Yi said to the owner of the convenience store after entering the store.
"Six yuan? is it really not sixty cigarettes?" The owner of the convenience store glanced at the handsome Yang Yi and asked in surprise, after all, even though young people nowadays have no money, they smoke dozens of good cigarettes, and Yang is also the first time that the owner of a convenience store buys a six-yuan cigarette.
Yang Yi heard the words of the convenience store owner, and said with a smile: "Just six yuan of cigarettes, I can't afford to smoke sixty cigarettes." ”
After Yang Yi finished buying cigarettes, he opened the cigarette case and lit one, and some pungent smoke smell was instantly inhaled into his lungs, which was a bit hot.
The rain in Shanghai came as soon as it was said, and it was originally a sunny night, but as soon as Yan Jia left, a drizzle fell.
"Is it raining?" Yang Yi, who was standing under the empty sky, muttered to himself after feeling the drizzle falling on his skin.
On the fourth floor of a building, a girl was by the window, looking through the thin curtain at the young man smoking downstairs, motionless, when suddenly a light rain fell gently on the windowsill in the breeze.
The sudden rain surprised Yan Jia, when she left the windowsill and was about to give Yang Yi an umbrella, she returned to the windowsill and looked down, but Yang Yi's figure had already disappeared in the drizzle, Yan Jia muttered to herself: "What kind of person are you?"
Yang Yi, who was smoking at this time, naturally didn't know that he had been peeped at by Yan Jia in the dark, and after smoking a low-quality cigarette, due to the sudden rain, he stopped staying and walked in the direction of a basement, not in a hurry, even if there were raindrops floating in the sky.
It's just that the figure looks a little lonely in the noisy streets and rain.
At night, when the twilight rain fell from the sky like smoke and fog, like brocade and satin, this song "Time of Three" became a graceful thing like yesterday, especially listening to it in the quiet night of the rain, it was even more poignant, and what gushed out of my heart was bursts of distress and sighs, which was pitiful.
