Chapter 424: The Five-Year Covenant
The sound of the piano flowed slowly like a gentle river, and Liu Jingxin sang softly like a cry. Liu Jingxin closed his eyes and didn't look at anyone, he sang softly, and his thoughts drifted back to the country of A, thousands of miles away, to his sleepless nights in the field hospital.
He seemed to be standing under the stars again, surrounded by the war-hardened military doctors, and the three of them wept as they followed Liu Jingxin and called Fiona's name over and over again.
Many people listened at first, then chanted in a low voice, and finally everyone present burst into tears and shouted alongside Fiona.
But Fiona remained motionless on the cold hospital bed, still with that satisfied smile on her face.
"Fiona...... Fiona ......"
Liu Jingxin called, shedding tears, his body trembled slightly, and his voice was not so calm.
When he finished singing the whole song and opened his eyes again, he saw Tong Wenxuan next to him also burst into tears like him.
Sister Xin's eyes were slightly red, Zeng Shuang wiped her tears silently, Chang Yisen, who was the most taboo to perform with her eyes closed, had also closed her eyes, and Zhang Xun and the four of them looked at Liu Jingxin with complicated expressions, as if they had a lot to say.
The old man, on the other hand, frowned slightly, and he didn't seem to have any feelings when he didn't know the story behind the song.
Liu Jingxin sang the Chinese version that he later changed, and the English version he sang that night in the field hospital in Afghanistan was all-English.
But no matter which version it is, it was written by Liu Jingxin with heart, including every lyric and every melody.
It's just that the song is too gentle, there is no climax, and there is no part of crossing the bridge, just calling over and over again, looking forward to it again and again, and disappointed again and again.
Fiona is gone, and no matter how many people call, it is impossible to wake up again.
It was a fallen leaf, and it couldn't return to the canopy. But it can exist in a different way, turning everything into nourishment to help the tree grow stronger.
After Chang Yisen finished playing his impromptu outro, it took a long time to open his eyes, he let out a long sigh, got up and left directly, without any evaluation of the song, and walked up the stairs alone.
Sister Xin took a few deep breaths, and after her emotions calmed down, she said to everyone: "Let's go back to the restaurant first." ”
Everyone returned to the restaurant one after another, and after the door was closed, Sister Xin wanted to say something several times, but she endured it again, and only after a while did she say to Liu Jingxin: "Jingxin, I don't have a good evaluation of your song." From the perspective of business value alone, it may not be large. It doesn't have the potential for fire. ”
Liu Jingxin nodded and said, "I know, but I want to release it." ”
Sister Xin lowered her head and pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, you and Zhang Xun will improve this song first, and I will think about it and see how it works." Anyway, such a song with a soul deserves to be heard by more people. The story behind this song should also be passed on. ”
This sky-high dinner is over, and the total price is said to have reached more than 100,000 yuan, which makes Liu Jingxin feel distressed. He felt that the money should be of greater use if it was not used for food. At home, it can help many children in poor mountainous areas, and abroad, it can save the lives of many refugees.
People who have been to that world should find it difficult to indulge in the glitz and wine anymore, and it is difficult to find satisfaction with the delicacies of the mountains and seas, right?
After leaving the restaurant, Liu Jingxin asked Zhang Xun to help them take his luggage back to the dormitory, and accompanied Tong Wenxuan alone to wander aimlessly through the streets of Kyoto in the early spring night.
Spring has arrived, and the dwarf shrubs and trees on the roadside have already spit out new shoots, and even if the street lamps are dim, they are still alive in the moonlight.
Tong Wenxuan lowered his head all the way, did not hold Liu Jingxin's hand anymore, put his hands in his pockets, and only looked at his upper.
Liu Jingxin said softly: "Tong Tong, I'm sorry, I should have told you as soon as possible, but I didn't say it, I really just didn't want you to worry about ......"
Tong Wenxuan shook his head: "Respectfully, you will still go out, will you?"
This sentence was asked too suddenly, so that Liu Jingxin unconsciously stopped, while Tong Wenxuan continued to walk forward.
Liu Jingxin quickly chased after him, walked beside Tong Wenxuan, and after hesitating and hesitating, he nodded "um".
Tong Wenxuan cried, tears fell down her cheeks like pearls with broken threads, and she said in a choked voice: "Respect, I'm so scared, I'm really scared." ”
Liu Jingxin stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Tong Wenxuan's shoulder, wanting to comfort but didn't know how to speak.
Tong Wenxuan shook his shoulders, shook off Liu Jingxin's hand, and continued to walk forward.
Liu Jingxin was stunned, his heart seemed to be broken, he looked at Tong Wenxuan bowing his head and crying as he walked, and he felt distressed from the bottom of his heart. But the reason why Tong Wenxuan is like this is because of him, how can he be qualified to comfort him?
If comfort is useful, how can Tong Tong still cry so desperately.
Liu Jingxin didn't know what to do, he didn't go to Tong Wenxuan's side again, and only followed Tong Wenxuan silently.
Suddenly, Tong Wenxuan stopped, and Liu Jingxin also stopped.
The two stood silently for a long time, Tong Wenxuan suddenly turned around, threw himself into Liu Jingxin's arms, raised his pretty face with tears on his face, and stood on tiptoe to imprint on Liu Jingxin's lips.
Liu Jingxin was about to open his arms to hug Tong Wenxuan, but he didn't expect that after Tong Wenxuan only kissed him lightly, he immediately took a few steps back and widened the distance between him and him.
"Tongtong, I ......" Liu Jingxin guessed a certain possibility, like a fish in his throat, even if he couldn't say a thousand words.
Tong Wenxuan cried even more sadly, she choked and said: "Jingxin, I'm really scared, I just thought about walking here with you, but I found that I was too cowardly, I couldn't do it." What the hell am I going to do? Tell me, what am I going to do?"
Liu Jingxin lowered his head and didn't speak, he didn't know how to answer, or rather, he didn't know how to face it.
Tong Wenxuan raised her hand to wipe away her tears, inhaled tremblingly, exhaled tremblingly, she adjusted for a long, long time before she finally spoke again: "Jingxin, if you go out again, can you take me with you?"
Liu Jingxin raised his head suddenly, he almost agreed, but thinking of the dangers he had experienced, he could only shake his head in the end.
Tong Wenxuan thought for a while and asked again, "Then when can you settle down and stop going out?"
Liu Jingxin shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”
Tong Wenxuan said: "Then let's make a five-year appointment." For the next five years, you try to live the way you want, and I will always be waiting for you. In five years, if you want, we will be together and never separated......"
The rest, she didn't say.
If five years later, Liu Jingxin is still thinking about going to the outside world, then between them, I am afraid they are destined to have no fate!
