Du Yifan rode the car against the swaying evening breeze and skimmed the wide road shrouded by the Shanghai lanterns, his eyes were fixed on the front, without a trace of change, without a trace of ups and downs, unlike Shen Lingfeng, he didn't like to talk when he was driving, didn't like to look elsewhere, and was not even happy to divert his gaze, he always concentrated on everything, including driving, including talking, including verbal promises. Cheng Siyu suddenly remembered Shen Lingfeng, and promised to accompany her to Lijiang, Yunnan several times, accompany her to enjoy the magnificent rivers and mountains passed along the way, accompany her to look at the small bridges and flowing water under the withered vines and old trees, and accompany her to quietly listen to the beautiful drum music and folk songs of the ancient city of Lijiang. She hopes so much to walk in the embrace of nature, feel the warmth and affection of the natural scenery that is very different from the big city, she looks forward to sitting in the flowing water and the natural stone upstream to look at it, meditate and meditate, and Shen Lingfeng is her best close-up photographer, recording the most beautiful time of every moment of her, remembering every side of her most beautiful, in her mind. But Shen Lingfeng has never fulfilled his promise, he always has a lot of reasons, his words are all so righteous words, he is always busy, busy with his career, busy with his own alone time, he needs space, he needs time, but it seems that he rarely asks Cheng Siyu what he needs, for the places he wants to go, such as Paris, he is always so enthusiastic, for the career he cares about, he has the ruthlessness to devote himself like a wild horse, and he works tirelessly like a cow, hard work, for himself, he is loyal, he is idealistic, he is a brave and loyal person。 But unfortunately, falling in love with someone who is 100% loyal to you is not necessarily an easy thing, you have to pay more patience and waiting than ordinary people, but no, he is so busy at work that he can not come to you once for a few days, without a phone call, or only a few calls, a few messages. This night, Cheng Siyu's phone call was destined to be lonely again.

The car drove to a stop in front of a building made of granite blocks on Nanjing East Road in Huangpu District, Cheng Siyu leaned out of the car window and glanced forward, and four eye-catching and upright characters shuttling through several flags caught her eye - Peace Hotel.

"Why did you come to the restaurant? Didn't you just eat noodles?" Cheng Siyu smiled and asked puzzled.

"Get out of the car. Du Yifan turned his head to look at her and smiled, said leisurely, pulled the car door and landed.

Cheng Siyu followed his footsteps from the revolving hall door of the hotel to enter, at first glance, the hotel decoration is splendid, luxurious and elegant, the top is a special green copper sheathed roof, bronze chandelier, the lobby floor is paved with milky white marble, belongs to the Chicago School Gothic architecture, is the fusion of modern and traditional, trendy and retro, giving people a kind of palace luxury and modern trendy fashion, making people indulge in the feelings of the old days and staggered in the advanced mainstream of the times, a new look. Passing through the hall, Cheng Siyu came to a bar in the northeast corner of the hotel on the first floor of the hotel under the leadership of Du Yifan, and there was a chic sign with the words "JAZZ BAR Jazz Bar" inlaid on the outer wall of the door.

They sat down in a small corner by the inner wall of the bar, and on the stage was a group of elderly jazz bands, each of whom looked at the average age of sixty or seventy years old, wearing elegant white shirts, black bow ties, and suspenders, playing the music seriously and devotedly.

"It turns out that there is such a rare and good place in Shanghai, I like it so much, you should have told me earlier, I told me earlier that I would not eat Yangchun noodles, and I would come here to eat directly, I want to eat a big meal!" Cheng Siyu raised his eyebrows and said excitedly, grinning like a flower.

Du Yifan looked at her excitedly, couldn't help lowering his head and snickering, then raised his head and quipped: "Then you can continue to eat now, anyway, I have confidence in your belly." ”

Cheng Siyu deliberately glared at him, pointed at him and said with a smile: "You laugh at me!"

"You can order a cocktail and a snack and it won't be very full. Du Yifan shook his head and said with a smile.

"Good again. After speaking, Cheng Siyu ordered a cup of Manhattan and Nickroni, a serving of chicken rice and chicken wings, and a serving of pasta.

"Wow, you're so good at eating. Du Yifan looked at the food on the table and said in amazement.

"Naturally, if you ask if you want to eat it and don't answer me, I can only order a Manhattan for you, or I'll give you half of the pasta, I haven't eaten it yet." Cheng Siyu said tentatively.

"No need. Du Yifan picked up a glass of Manhattan on the table, shook the wine glass slightly, and said with deep feeling: "This wine is burgundy, bright in color, crystal clear, and it is a good wine." After saying that, he took a sip, exhaled with satisfaction, and put it down gently.

Cheng Siyu picked up the Nickeloon in front of him in a mock manner, drank half of it, and immediately choked and said, "Wow, this wine is really strong."

"Of course, the cocktails in the Peace Hotel are specially made by senior bartenders, and the cocktails in ordinary bars outside are naturally incomparable, with a lot of water, so the drinks here are relatively strong, you can take it easy and not get drunk, otherwise you will have to be carried back to the hotel later." Du Yifan admonished matter-of-factly, and said with a sneer.

"I don't drink so badly. Unconvinced, she retorted, and reluctantly took another sip, and finally seemed to have really tasted the sweetness of the wine, and said with a smile: "Good wine!"

Du Yifan glanced at her and smiled happily again, he likes to stay with this frank and natural girl, her smile can always give him an unprecedented comfort and relaxed happiness.

At this time, a CA of Elvis Presley sounded on the stage

't help falli

g i

Love's orchestral music, Sass style, piano, clarinet, violin, cello, all blended together into a melodious and melodious natural song, full of emotion, gripping and exciting, like mountains and flowing water, lingering and unfinished.

"These old uncles are really powerful, they are already old, but they are no worse than young people when they play music, and they are as good as they are. It's really old and strong, haha. Cheng Siyu laughed to herself.

Du Yifan originally listened carefully to her feelings, but when he heard the word "old and strong", he almost spit out the wine in his mouth, and he couldn't hold back a smile and calmly explained to the cute little girl in front of him: "They are not an ordinary band, don't look at them old, the strength is not small, the oldest member, and the first captain of the orchestra, Mr. Zhou Wanrong, is 84 years old, he participated in the recording of the original old records in the late thirties when he was young, and the trumpets in those old Shanghai records were recorded by him." In the 90s, it was named the world's best bar by Newsweek, and even former US President Clinton once performed on the same stage with them, and several **** from the United States, Britain, and France have also visited the jazz bar, so they are really skilled and can play the music superbly. ”

"Wow, I can't imagine that these old uncles are so powerful, and the name is not small! I really worship them so much, it is my honor to be here tonight to watch them play, and the people who can play the instrument are the most charming and talented. Cheng Siyu looked at the stage with wide eyes and exclaimed, holding his little face in both hands and watching without blinking, looking fascinated.

"I can't see that you're quite talented. Du Yifan said leisurely.

"Love talent?" Cheng Siyu raised his eyebrows lightly and glanced sideways at him.

"It's not money, it's talent, don't get me wrong. Du Yifan humorously quipped.

"I'm not mistaken. Because I originally studied piano, I still have a special empathy for people who understand music. Cheng Siyu said disapprehantly, picked up a glass of wine in his palm, and drank it all.

"If that's the case, I don't know who is better among us. Du Yifan glanced at her teasingly, his elbows propped up on the dining table, and his fingers were pressed together on his chin.

"Do you also play the piano?" Cheng Siyu asked happily as excited as if he had found a bosom friend, raising his voice.

"If you don't believe me, I can go up and put on a show for you. He stared at her and said solemnly.

"yes, I'd love to hear it. Cheng Siyu looked at him and smiled brightly, this smile full of anticipation instantly warmed his heart and brought him infinite motivation.

Du Yifan left his seat, walked to the stage gracefully, and whispered a few words to the main player standing in the middle, only to see the main player give him a thumbs up, and grin with an encouraging smile, a row of neat white teeth reflected Cheng Siyu's eyes from a distance.

Du Yifan walked to the classical mahogany grand piano, the original playing members smiled and moved out of the way, Du Yifan bowed slightly to express his gratitude to him and sat down on the stool and sat in front of the piano. At this time, the performance began, Du Yifan played a coherent and soft music on the piano on the stage, he was devoted, and performed with passion, as if he was not the original him on the stage, but the other side of his excellence, this is a rare erudite and talented, outstanding talent, this is an artist who lives for art, not a businessman with a billion-dollar family business, and not a hot rich second generation. The piano music, drum music, and guitar music are beautifully combined into a familiar piece, what kind of tune is that, that is the tune that Cheng Siyu has heard, A

Gel Baby, this is the most familiar to her, when she went to college to participate in the English song competition, she won the championship with this song, every sentence in this song, every meaning in the sentence, every musical note, every word, she has deeply experienced, everything seems to be yesterday again.

So she stepped onto the stage and walked over to the empty upright microphone.

“it's just like heave

Du Yifan raised his head and looked at Cheng Siyu who was standing on the stage singing in surprise while playing the piano, Cheng Siyu looked back at him tacitly and smiled, and continued to sing back his song emotionally.

At this time, the dim light of the street lamps that stopped at Shiliyangchang diffused on the roadside, and the cool evening breeze blowing from the Bund into the lively jazz bar in the Peace Hotel, were very different from the darkness and tranquility of the road passing by outside the closed windows.

After leaving the hotel, Du Yifan proposed to take a walk together, on the grounds that both of them were full of alcohol, and it was not good for their stomachs to take the car immediately.

Cheng Siyu agreed to his proposal, and walked with him on a small path under the street lamp, there were not many people coming and going, and there was a different kind of romance and tranquility under the light of the street lamp.

Walking side by side with Du Yifan, he found that he didn't say a word, didn't say a word, somehow, Cheng Siyu felt a little embarrassed, thinking that it was better to go back to the hotel to rest quickly.

Finally, she couldn't help but speak up first, took the initiative to break the silence and said, "What are you thinking?"

"I wondered how nice it would be if my mom was still alive. Du Yifan said with emotion, sighed deeply, and a rare loneliness and melancholy appeared on his face.

"Did Auntie often bring you here before?" Cheng Siyu asked sympathetically and cautiously, and her heart seemed to be wet.

"Yes, but it was a long time ago. I almost remember the scene at that time, I just remember that we were all happy at that time. Du Yifan stopped and said lightly.

"Others say that after death, people will become stars hanging in the sky to protect the people they love the most, I believe that my aunt must have become a shining star, silently watching everything about you in the sky every day, and has been guarding you and your sister. Cheng Siyu put her hand on his shoulder comfortingly, and her face floated with the smile she had on her face to comfort the children who were crying due to exam mistakes during the cram school.

Du Yifan smiled from cloudy to sunny, and he said excitedly: "Yes, I know that my mother has always cared about me and my sister, as well as my father, so I have always said to myself that I must be filial to my father, and I must protect my sister and not let her suffer any harm." ”

"I must be very happy to be your sister, if only I were your sister too" Cheng Siyu said heartlessly, out of convenience.

"Is it just my sister?" Du Yifan, who was walking in front, suddenly glanced back at her, and a trace of loneliness and disappointment floated in his deep eyes, which looked different and clear under the illumination of the street lamp.

This kind of look is very special, it is not the same as what she usually sees, which made Cheng Siyu's heart be pinched, she avoided his eyes evasively, and pretended to be ignorant and said, "A person like you who is gentle and considerate, and loves your sister, it is definitely a happiness to be your sister, I have been an only daughter since I was a child, and I have always hoped that there will be a brother to protect me and love me." ”

"If I really had that good, wouldn't people want to catch it?" he stared at her deeply, and a breeze blew in front of their faces, blowing his eyes red.

Cheng Siyu was stunned, such a question really caught her off guard, she didn't think that he would say such a thing to her beforehand, even if she had vaguely felt his feelings for her that kind of beyond his friend, even if he was trying his best to suppress himself and cover himself, she never expected him to say this topic so bluntly, this may be the effect of alcohol making people intoxicating, this is not true, it is all alcohol that causes trouble, she scolded alcohol in her heart, and pretended to be calm and said:" Yifan, an excellent person like you, there will be a lot of good women who want to catch you, only those women who are close to perfection and as beautiful as you can match you, maybe that person will appear soon, maybe tomorrow, maybe it will be a while later, and you haven't found out yet, no matter what, you are such a good man, there should be a good woman to love you, care about you, and spend your life with you. ”

"What about you, what do you think of me?" In fact, he wanted to say, if it weren't for Ling Feng, would you fall in love with me.

Cheng Siyu was completely stunned, speechless for a while, she didn't dare to look at the sad gaze projected by his affectionate eyes, she felt scared, she didn't know how to face this very abrupt and suddenly diffused feeling, she lowered her head and whispered: "You are a very good friend, I can't do anything to you." ”

Du Yifan's heart suddenly ached, he looked at the dim and quiet light above his head, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said heavily: "The person I love has already appeared in front of me, but we are far away, because I can never love her." ”

Cheng Siyu was silent, she didn't even dare to look at the expression on his face.

"You wait here, I'll drive over and pick you up, and you take a break here next to the railing. Du Yifan regained his usual demeanor and composure, patted her on the back and turned to walk.

Cheng Siyu looked at his walking back, somehow, there was a trace of ripples and sadness in his heart, the same back, but at this moment it looks sad, even if it is still as calm and indifferent as before, but a little more heavy and lonely, for a moment she really wants to run over to comfort him, comfort him, you forget me, I don't deserve it, just treat us as if we have no fate.

In fact, she once thought that if there was no Ling Feng, if there was no person she loved, if she didn't love Ling Feng so much, would she fall in love with this excellent and affectionate man, would she have a trace of liking Du Yifan, she didn't dare to think about it, she didn't want to think about it.
