Chapter 121: How Wonderful
The problem that gave Cheng Ran a headache was that Jiang Zhou had seen too many things that he shouldn't see, so in order not to explain more, he called Jiang Zhou together in the afternoon, and the two-person action became a three-person action, and asked him to find a restaurant to arrange it for hospitality.
Even if the fine of 3,000 yuan is for reception and consumption, the rewards and punishments must still be clear, for example, Jiang Zhou was too unprofessional before, this should not be done anyway, whether he is considered to have experienced the shock of similar dreams in his life coming true.
Of course, this is not a chore for Jiang Erwa, and she is even very happy, as if the light of day is broken, it is Qin Xizhen who said Cheng Ran, are you really short of money, and you actually want others to help pay for it, you can do it.
Cheng Ran said that it is a sum of money to be saved, and the landlord's family may not have surplus grain, not to mention that you are not also a rich woman, it is related to this, who invites it is not pleased, you can also ask if you want to.
Qin Xizhen rolled his eyes, and said It feels like we've changed it now, what kind of rat are you, an oil thief?
Cheng Ranxiao used to be ignorant in the mountains and seas, but now he understands the truth of firewood, rice, oil and salt grinding.
Qin Xizhen glanced at him coldly, "Stingy!"
Seeing that Cheng Ran was so coldly looked at by Qin Xizhen, Jiang Zhou sweated on his back, I am afraid that he would take it out and ask, no man does not want to show his open-mindedness and even various good qualities in front of this little queen to increase the impression of the other party, at least he will not lose his sense of proportion and expose his shortcomings.
Cheng Ran didn't pay attention to this aspect, Jiang Zhou tried his best to save the image of the young owner, and hurriedly asked Miss Qin what he wanted to eat, he could arrange it as much as he wanted, whether it was Jinjiang Hotel, or the covered bridge of Hejiang Pavilion, the top restaurants in the city, he could call and stay in the private room, Jiang Zhou was on the newspaper news through the Tianxing Daoist Hall several times, he was famous in Rongcheng, and the whole family also gained face, and there were high-ranking officials and cousins among the relatives, and they also got closer, Xie Houming even gave a gift to the Tianxing Daoist Hall as an elder, that is, several times at the dinner that he thought was worth participating in, Xie Houming invited Jiang Zhou to join him to the banquet, so the owners of some top restaurants in Rongcheng, all know this guest who often haunts some high-profile small circle dinners, Jiang Zhou introduced a lot of people in the official business, and he has a heroic spirit, even if he is not very old, there are really a lot of people who look at him differently, and some people who are very talented are also willing to make friends with him, don't look at people like Cheng Ran who call him Jiang Erwa, and the name of Brother Jiang in the Tianxing Gym outside is still widely known.
Qin Xizhen said that there are a lot of delicious snacks in Rongcheng, and she used to sweep the fly restaurant and famous snacks with her friends, so she didn't have to go to too high-end places. Jiang Zhou hesitated a little, and proposed that this kind of place is to take care of Qin Xizhen's identity, because there are private rooms and good service, so as not to expose Qin Xizhen, and if Qin Xizhen wants to go to those street places where people come and go, this is not realistic at all.
As a result, Cheng Ran nodded at him and said it didn't matter.
Qin Xizhen simply put on a hat, and when he was sitting in the Longchaoshou shop on Chunxi Street eating snacks, Jiang Zhou looked left and right nervously for a while, but in fact, there was no imaginary conflict in the end.
The snack bar is very large, basically with long tables, people are sitting on long benches, people are crowded to eat, Qin Xizhen's hair hangs down, and the black hair on both sides is pouring straight to block the cheeks on both sides, although there will still be people who take a few more glances because of her outstanding appearance, at most they sigh that she looks really similar.
In the most crowded place, they still came and went freely, and they went to eat several delicious snacks in a row, fat rice noodles, sad cold noodles, and dandan noodles...... It is often a small restaurant, and the kitchen outside is in full swing, of course, if you order to pick up the food by yourself, you don't need Cheng Ran and Qin Xizhen to work hard, Jiang Zhou ran up and down, and automatically took over these tasks, serving snacks, asking if you want to add vegetables, and asking for warmth.
This is not only because of Qin Xizhen, but also because she is Cheng Ran's friend, she can't be lazy, and in this process, Jiang Zhou feels like a green mountain, and her whole body is light, and it is also an achievement to say it.
When Jiang Zhou picked up the meal, in the noisy snack restaurant, Qin Xizhen, who was wearing jeans, stepped on the foot rest under the table generously, supported his knees with his elbows, pressed one palm on his face, looked at Cheng Ran sideways, his hair fell from his ears to his collarbone, and said with a smile, "Have you thought of a way to make me a big boss?"
Cheng Ran said, "Let me think about it, I want to ...... Why didn't you just ask me to sing a song?"
Qin Xizhen said, "I'm embarrassed. β
Cheng Ran was stunned, what is this called, "I'm sorry to sing it to me? Didn't I lose a lot of mountains and seas at the beginning? I sang ten songs." β
Qin Xizhen grinned, "It's because I saw you at that time...... So...... I'm even more embarrassed. β
Cheng Ran glared, thinking to himself what kind of picture I had at that time that made you still have lingering palpitations now.
Qin Xizhen retracted her gaze, Jiang Zhou put it on the table, she didn't look at Cheng Ran anymore, and said to Jiang Zhou, "Thank you!" Jiang Zhou suddenly felt a few taels lighter, and hurriedly asked what else I will take again, Qin Xizhen said no, eat it quickly after hard work.
......
ate all kinds of snacks in one afternoon, even Cheng Ran, who prides himself on being a big stomach, feels that he can't hold it up, but Qin Xizhen seems to have unfathomable internal strength, although he said that he was full, but he encountered sugar and oil fruits on the way and went to buy two bunches of them, and finally realized that they asked them if they wanted it? Jiang Zhou had already shook his head with his waist on his back, and Cheng Ran looked at Qin Xizhen's slender body, is there a cold fusion engine hidden in it.
When Qin Xizhen came back with sugar and oil fruits, she happened to meet a group of students, and some of them suddenly stared at her face, and Jiang Zhou screamed in disgust.
In the bustling city, Qin Xizhen is easy to fit in, and people generally do not suspect him, but on this occasion and some young people who pay attention to the singer's entertainment career, the situation is suddenly different.
Just when sparks burst out in the eyes of some girls, a hand directly bypassed Qin Xizhen's neck and wrapped it around her shoulder, Cheng Ran took a bunch of sugar and oil fruits from her hand, took it and ate it, and said, "Old sister, waiting for you to buy something so slowly!"
A few girls who originally wanted to exhale were stunned again, and looked suspiciously at Cheng Ran holding Qin Xizhen and Jiang Zhou straight across the street and leaving, and finally agreed, "It looks like Qin Xizhen...... If it weren't for the boy calling her sister, she almost thought it would be!"
After parting after the street, Qin Xizhen slapped him hard, revealing two tiger teeth, "Your sister...... Take advantage of me!"
Jiang Zhou smiled beside him, he knew the process of the two acquaintances before, Qin Xizhen is the music teacher of Cheng Ran Shanhai High School, but she took a special art and sports enrollment, in fact, when she officially became a teacher, she was not a few years older than Cheng Ran.
Jiang Zhou asked what else he wanted to eat? Qin Xizhen shook his head, stroked his lower abdomen, and said that he really couldn't eat this time.
Jiang Zhou further asked, do you want to go somewhere to play?
Qin Xizhen thought about it and said, when I used to come to Rongcheng when I was in college, I would go to the bar on Linhe Road with my friends, it was called the old house, the earliest, or let's go there!
Jiang Zhou immediately agreed, saying that he knew a well-known singer band there. He looked very sophisticated, but then he looked at Qin Xizhen's shy face and said, "Of course it can't be compared with you." β
Cheng Ran looked at Qin Xizhen, she was obviously thoughtful when she talked about the bar, I am afraid that it was the place where her music dream started, and the beginning of the blood of a group of friends in the past must have carried a lot of memories.
Cheng Ran nodded.
It was dark, and the lights were spreading through the city.
The bar street on the riverside road has now become a climate, the old house as the earliest and most famous bar here, has already undergone an expansion, now located on the riverside of a whole open space, the boundary is all divided by fences and bushes, the internal lawn is compactly placed with small round tables and square benches, there are band singers on the grass side of the eaves to extend the grass, playing and singing in the spotlight, the atmosphere is warm and extraordinary, but the sound is a little noisy.
In the ridge eaves of the antique building connected to the lawn empty dam area, there is a fan-shaped distribution of elegant seating areas, people sit in the room, there is a certain private space, but also the performance area can be seen at a glance, the lighting in the indoor area is very soft, mainly purple and blue, Qin Xizhen wears a peaked cap, only needs to lower her head a little, that is, to look at her head-on, it is not easy to see her full picture clearly.
When Jiang Zhou led the team over, the boss of the old house came over in person, drank a glass of wine with Jiang Zhou, and said that today is really a coincidence, many famous singers in the underground music circle of Rongcheng came over today, there are people you know, there are people you may know, the boss said several names in a row, Jiang Zhou's face became a little wrong.
In normal times, such an occasion would obviously be lively, but not now.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Jiang Zhou to encounter the scene he subconsciously didn't want to encounter.
The singer who sang two songs in front of the steps in the performance area finished the performance, and after the boss attached his ear, he took the guitar and came all the way between people's greetings and hands, and came to the elegant seat Jiang Zhou, and said with a slight smile, "Brother Jiang, I heard that Lao Wang said that you are here, and I must have two drinks with you today!"
Jiang Zhou was a little embarrassed, "I have guests." β
"Brother Jiang's guest, that has to be respected!" Then he was about to look at a man and a woman who were sitting, Jiang Erwa helped him over his shoulder, "Let's go, go over there and drink with you, I played well today......"
After a while, Jiang Zhou walked back, and before his butt was hot, a female singer who had just finished singing over there came over under the guidance of the other party after meeting with the previous young man, holding a small wine bottle, "Brother Jiang from the Tianxing Gym...... Last time, I apologized for leaving in a hurry and couldn't have a drink with you, and today I punished myself with three glasses......"
"No, no, just a cup, okay, okay, you're busy, I'll listen to you sing here. β
"Brother Jiang, it's great if you like it......" At the end, the female singer took the bottle and stroked Cheng Ran and Qin Xizhen with both hands, "I also respect your friends, everyone had a good time today." β
Cheng Ran lifted the Budweiser beer bottle and raised it to this female singer who was no stranger, Qin Xizhen picked up the bottle in front of him, pressed the brim of his hat and nodded, and took a sip.
Before the butt was hot, Jiang Zhou's fame was so popular, and several groups of people came over to toast.
Cheng Ran and Qin Xizhen looked at him with a smile, and Cheng Ran teased, "Brother Jiang is very famous...... Half of the Chengdu music circle knows you. β
Jiang Zhou was at a loss, "Shaodong, don't wash my brain, it's all Lao Rongcheng, and because of the fame of the Tianxing Dao Pavilion, it's spread around, and I don't know why everyone calls me Brother Jiang......"
Jiang Zhou suddenly reacted, and said with a stroke, "Speaking of which, I'm not helping you with these things......
Cheng Ran smiled, "Do a good job." β
There was an explosive coaxing from the performance area, it turned out that a singer had just performed a song, and just after it was finished, it attracted a burst of whistles and cheers.
Cheng Ran and Jiang Zhou looked at Qin Xizhen at the same time, Qin Xizhen nodded and smiled, "It's my song." β
Many of Qin Xizhen's songs are very elaborate on skills and skills, so some singer bands often come up with the finale when they want to show their skills and hone their skills.
There were four or five singers who had just come to salute Jiang Zhou, but it was obvious that there were still about a similar number of singers coming and singing over there, and in the spacious dam of the bar near the river, even if the small round tables had been dragged to the edge, there were no less than one or two hundred people crowded on the lawn.
Cheng Ran looked at the excitement and said, "Business is so good here every day, or is it more special today?"
Jiang Zhou said, "Several groups of these singers in the Rongcheng circle have become very famous over time when they sing and sing, but they are arrogant to each other, and they usually don't accept anyone. β
Sure enough, after the female singer finished singing, the audience erupted in applause, cheering, and there were some good people who shouted and laughed and said that the pitch could be higher just now, and the female singer was not annoyed, holding the microphone and half-jokingly coerced, or you come up. This kind of interaction and banter is also what the bar wants to see, not only to promote the exchange of music circles, but also to quickly stir up the atmosphere.
Some people chase singers, that is, they know the performance itinerary of the other party, and they follow them in which bar.
It's just that the old house bar is blessed here, because the venue is large, and it is the most famous place in Rongcheng at the moment.
It's just that the musicians and singers who are gathered together have begun to whisper in private, and those who came to salute Jiang Zhoujiu before were over there, regardless of whether there were any grievances between each other, and now they were talking in low voices, and their eyes swept in the direction of the lobby in the house from time to time. Those resident singers and musicians who have heard Jiang Zhou's name for a long time, but don't know each other, seem to have been affected by this small range of vibrations at this time, and frequently look in the direction of Jiang Zhou.
The commotion spread on the periphery, and even the singers who were singing were a little flustered.
Jiang Zhou sighed, Cheng Ran put down the wine bottle, and was about to pay the bill, Qin Xizhen took off her hat, her black hair poured down like a waterfall, and she probably drank some wine, and the purple light of the bar illuminated her face a little beautifully.
She glanced at Cheng Ran and whispered, "It's not that I won't sing it to you." β
After a pause, she said lazily, "Final Fantasy series, right?" β
......
Under Cheng Ran's quiet gaze, she turned to Jiang Zhou, "Help me borrow a guitar." β
Jiang Zhou hurriedly got up and went, and then Cheng Ran saw that after the previous singer's performance, she got up and walked to the performance area, and the commotion of this process quickly spread from inside the house to the group outside the house.
The world is like a tide.
Jiang Zhou handed her the instrument under the eaves where the lights were focused, on the steps with red lacquered wood pillars on both sides, and a female singer stood aside with her hands on her chest in disbelief, and saw Qin Xizhen sitting on the high stool she had just sat on.
After a brief period of seismic waves and uproar, it gradually subsided.
Because Qin Xizhen knocked on the microphone over there, thought for a while, and said, "I came here with a friend, I'll sing this song to him." β
The drummer and musician next to him didn't know what they were supposed to do.
Qin Xizhen turned her head, and under the dazzling light that showed her entire cheeks, she said to the band behind her, "It's okay, I'll just come by myself next." β
Then she played the piano, her slender fingers plucking the strings with great skill, and the simple but indescribably powerful melody of Nobuo Uematsu's composition burst out in the light surrounded by fireflies.
At the brightest point of the light, Qin Xizhen's lips turned towards the microphone.
The first sentence is ethereal and sad to the point that it makes people want to cry "Whenever Sang My Songs......
Trembling in the night.
It is the theme song of Final Fantasy VIII, "Eyes On Me".
No one knows what today's singing means, in fact, even this bar in Rongcheng doesn't know that it will become a holy place in the hearts of countless people in the music industry after tonight.
At this moment, Cheng Ran, who was immersed in the scene, only felt his heart pounding.
γEyes On Meγ
Penetrating time and space, what feelings.
After listening to the audience, people forgot to applaud, forgot to howl, forgot to whistle, forgot to cheer and cheer, and only looked at the woman in heaven and earth.
After a short pause, Qin Xizhen changed his posture and plucked the strings with his fingers.
This time, the melodic tone of the intro is unusually melodious, and the theme song of Nobuo Uematsu's "Final Fantasy X."
The Roman pronunciation is "su teki da ne".
The translation means, "How wonderful." β
I have played this game all night for I don't know how many times, although it is different from the previous English theme song, Qin Xizhen sings in Japanese this time, but Cheng Ran is familiar with the translation early.
He was also singing a cappella.
"How wonderful
If the two of them can walk hand in hand
I want to be with you
Hand in hand to walk the streets of your home
Look at your face
Touch gently
Despite all this
Just an early morning dream. β
su teki da ne
How wonderful.
How wonderful.
......
......
The night seems to fall in song.
Jiang Zhou's eyes seemed to converge on the infinite burst of starlight, and finally said desperately, "In the office...... Actually, you kissed, didn't you?"
"Kiss ......" Cheng Ran came back to his senses for a moment.
Kiss you paralyzed!
