Chapter 4: Concert in a Café

After Liu Jingxin left the coffee shop, he first walked around Xidan, wanting to step on the spot first to see where it was more appropriate to sell his songs.

However, the better positions have been occupied, some play and sing, some hold the microphone and shout, and some set up stalls to sell gadgets, and from time to time there are chengguan who come to drive people away.

People are in a hurry, and few people stop, let alone listen and give tips.

After Liu Jingxin observed a circle, he found that even if he really found a suitable position to sing, he might not be able to make any money, so he had to give up for the time being.

It seems that if you really want to earn 5,000 yuan in a week to complete Task 1, you can only rely on the income from the café for the time being.

Fortunately, the income of the café is not dead, and there is an additional income of customers ordering songs, but I don't know how many customers order songs every day.

Liu Jingxin casually found a place to eat a set meal, and went to the pharmacy to buy a box of throat lozenges, the time was already half past five, and he was about to reach the agreed time to sing, so he hurriedly came to the café with his guitar on his back.

It is said to be a café, but in fact, it also serves Western food, and although the price is on the high side overall, there are really many customers who come to consume.

When Liu Jingxin debugged the equipment, there were already seven or eight tables of customers sitting in the hall, most of them were couples or couples.

As the sky gets darker, the soft lights in the café warm everyone's body and mind, setting off the romantic atmosphere.

Sun Guomin didn't appear, a rich second generation like him, opening a café should just be a side hustle for casual fun.

The pianist and violinist had not yet arrived, and the time had reached six o'clock, so Liu Jingxin sat down on the small stage, picked up the guitar, and began to warm up the performance.

Because it was a warm-up, Liu Jingxin did not choose to play and sing repertoire, nor did he choose those niche solo songs, but played the widely accepted "Sky City".

In order to express the artistic conception of this piece, Liu Jingxin deliberately accentuated the reverberation sound effect a little, making the sound of the piano sound more ethereal, a bit similar to the feeling of a harp, and it sounded like a heavenly sound floating from the clouds.

No one in the café paid attention to Liu Jingxin, but after the classic melody sounded, everyone stopped their current movements and quieted down, some looked at Liu Jingxin in the center of the stage, some gazed at their lover's face gently, and some closed their eyes and enjoyed quietly with a smile......

For a while, Liu Jingxin became the only protagonist in the café, and every time his fingertips touched the strings and played the piano, everyone present was fascinated, making everyone feel as if they were flying into the clouds with the breeze, and looking down on the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the world in their hearts.

When the song ended, there was silence in the café, so quiet that it was almost audible when a pin dropped.

I don't know who suddenly applauded, and then there was a round of applause around the café, which made the café seem to be the scene of a concert.

Liu Jingxin got up very calmly and bowed slightly to express his gratitude, but he was a little embarrassed by the burning eyes of the beautiful waiter ladies.

Thinking about the cold eyes and ignorance he had suffered, and then looking at the friendly eyes of the people around him at this time, Liu Jingxin couldn't help but sigh secretly: This is really a good piano!

The warm-up effect of "City in the Sky" was unexpectedly good, which made Liu Jingxin more confident.

Since he is a resident singer, it is definitely not appropriate to play solo tracks all the time, so Liu Jingxin began to play and sing officially.

In order to match the atmosphere and environment, he mostly chose soothing and warm tracks.

At the beginning, Liu Jingxin chose mostly foreign classic country folk music, and later someone suggested through the waiter that he sing some Chinese songs, preferably the kind that is familiar, so Liu Jingxin performed several popular saliva songs in the current market by playing and singing.

What's funny is that this is obviously a café, but it suddenly became Liu Jingxin's concert, and even when he was "learning to meow", many people followed him to "meow meow", making the later guests dumbfounded, and thinking that they had gone to the wrong place.

Towards 7 o'clock in the evening, the pianist and violinist finally arrived, and the two replaced Liu Jingxin and played some classical music together.

After singing for such a long time, Liu Jingxin just felt a little tired in his voice, but his spirit was very excited, and he even hoped that the two musicians on the stage could come down quickly and replace him to continue singing.

It turns out that it feels so good to be accepted, and I really wish there was a bigger stage for him to sing his favorite rock music!

Liu Jingxin was sitting in the corner and sighed secretly, when he suddenly saw a tall man walking over.

"Hello. The visitor smiled and said hello.

Liu Jingxin recognized that the person was a guest sitting in the corner seat, so he quickly got up and responded politely: "Hello." ”

The man didn't know if he was a little shy after drinking, his face was slightly red, and he coughed lightly to relieve his embarrassment: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Tian Zheng, and I am an old customer of your café." I'm looking for you because I want your help on something important to me. ”

"Oh oh, hello hello, sit down and talk. Liu Jingxin pulled over a chair and sat down with Tian Zhengyi left and right.

It seems that Liu Jingxin's enthusiasm relieved Tian Zheng's nervousness, and after Tian Zheng sat down, his tone relaxed: "This weekend, I want to propose to my girlfriend here." I'm a person who is emotionally stupid, busy with work every day, and takes little care of her, and I always feel that I owe her something. The proposal is too important for a girl, and I want to make up for it, so I want to give her the most romantic proposal ceremony. ”

Liu Jingxin nodded approvingly.

Tian Zheng sighed: "What I thought at first was to order a big cake for her, and then hide the engagement ring in the cake, and when she eats the ring, I will read her the love poem I wrote to her." ”

"That's good!"

"I thought it was romantic before, but after listening to your song, I felt that the proposal I had planned was still too simple and a little missing...... Tsk, what's missing......"

"Emotions?" Liu Jingxin asked tentatively.

Tian Zheng patted his leg and said: "Yes, it is the lack of emotional mobilization." So I have an idea, I want to turn my love poem into a love song and sing it when I propose, do you think that would be better?"

Liu Jingxin nodded and said, "Yes." Sing a love song for her that belongs only to her in this life, and she will definitely be very moved. ”

Tian Zheng stared at Liu Jingxin expectantly and asked, "Can you help me?"

"Can I help you play? Liu Jingxin replied happily.

Tian Zheng shook his head and said, "No, I mean, you help me finish this song, and then wait until I propose marriage, and then help me accompani." ”

When Liu Jingxin heard that he was going to help compose the music and use it on such an important occasion, he was a little hesitant in his heart, because he was worried that he would be thankless.

Tian Zheng saw Liu Jingxin's worries, and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to compose music for me, I think it makes sense to write the lyrics and music for such a song." What I want is that I hum the melody to my poem myself, and then you help me perfect it. And I'm not going to let you help in vain. ”

Saying that, Tian Zheng took out his wallet and wanted to give Liu Jingxin some money on the spot, which startled Liu Jingxin and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.

After struggling in his heart for a moment, Liu Jingxin nodded and said, "Okay, I promised you." As for the money, let's talk about it when you have a successful proposal. I go to work from six to nine every night, and you can come to me the rest of the time. ”

【Ding!Detected that the host has received a wish request, triggering a limited-time task (7 days 0:00:00)】

This system prompt appeared very suddenly, which startled Liu Jingxin. He was about to take a look at what task had been triggered on the system panel, but he heard Tian Zheng say to him with a happy face: "Okay, I'll wait for you at the door of your café at nine o'clock tonight." ”

Liu Jingxin smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

Sending Tian Zheng away, Liu Jingxin hurriedly checked the system panel and found that there were two extra lines of content on it:

[Limited time mission: Tian Zheng's wish (6 days, 23:59:11 seconds)]

Note: Completing time-limited tasks can unlock themed original quests, which can help the host earn a lot of recognition, limited-time quests will randomly provide hints according to the host's completion progress, and if the quest is not completed at the end of the time, it will be judged as a mission failure. 】

Liu Jingxin looked at Tian Zheng again, and said secretly in his heart: Don't worry, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish!
