Chapter Twenty-Six: The Western Restaurant
"Oh, not really, it's just curious. ”
Hearing Xu Wen's answer, Xie Yuyun breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Actually, my original intention in forming a band was to sing some songs that I liked, and as for that kind of music with a strong style, I can't really get it." ”
"Hahaha, true. Xu Wen laughed a few times.
There are really a lot of people who do bands, many people have not practiced the songs well when they first started the band, and they have prepared a complete set of long hair, black bracelets, ragged shirts, black leather, rivets and so on.
shouted "Rock and roll is not dead", but in fact, he couldn't even recognize the score.
Xie Yuyun: "And there are no genre restrictions in this competition, so you can play freely." ”
At this time, Zhuo Ling on the side suddenly said angrily: "But those rock and roll veterans always look high, look down on the pop, and don't know where the superiority comes from." ”
"Whatever they do, let's just sing our own. Xie Yuyun shook his head indifferently.
"But if you go to sing live, it would be better to change the score to be a little drier. Xu Wen flipped through the music sheet and said.
Xie Yuyun's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he looked at Xu Wen: "Will you change the score?"
"I guess it's a little bit better. Xu Wen nodded.
Xie Yuyun clapped his hands: "That's great! Actually, we have also thought about the atmosphere of the scene, but we are afraid that if we don't change it well, it will make the atmosphere embarrassing at that time." ”
Xu Wen: "Then I'll try to change two suitable songs, and try the effect tomorrow." ”
"Okay!" the three girls cheered at the same time.
When it was nearly five o'clock in practice, Xu Wen wiped the sweat on his head and said, "I have an appointment with a friend today, so I'll leave first, don't practice too late, go home early." ”
The three girls nodded and replied in unison, "I know, Brother Xu walks slowly." ”
"I said don't call me brother. ”
After speaking, Xu Wen waved his hand and left the rehearsal room.
After calling a car, Xu Wen came to the address that Ren Lingxuan told him and found that it was a very well-decorated Western restaurant.
Under the ornate crystal lamps, you can see that every corner of this restaurant has been carefully arranged, the gorgeous European tables and chairs, and the small and delicate bar counter are painted pure white, plus some gold embellishments, giving the whole restaurant a "noble" feeling.
"Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?" At this time, a polite waiter came up and asked Xu Wen.
"Yes, Miss Ren Lingxuan ordered it. ”
"Miss Ren, yes, okay, please come with me. The waiter immediately made a gesture of invitation to Xu Wen.
As soon as he followed the waiter to the second floor of the restaurant, Xu Wen saw Ren Lingxuan who was sitting in a position waving to him.
"Did you get off work so early today?" Xu Wen walked over with a smile.
Ren Lingxuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, I asked the boss for leave in advance." ”
When Xu Wen sat down, the adaptation student took out the menu and put it in front of the two of them and said, "If you need to order, just call me." He took a few steps back, keeping a distance that would not disturb the customer's chat.
Flipping through the menu, Xu Wen looked at the Boston lobster price on the homepage and smacked his tongue secretly, and couldn't help whispering to Ren Lingxuan: "Are you really going to be promoted?"
"It's not. Ren Lingxuan smiled and shook her head: "Today is my birthday." ”
"Huh!?" Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I didn't prepare anything." ”
"I just don't want you to prepare anything, I'm already very happy that you can come to celebrate my birthday. ”
Sighing, Xu Wen said helplessly: "Let me prepare a cake or something." ”
"It's okay, hurry up and order, this restaurant was recommended to me by my colleague and said that this smoked salmon is particularly delicious. ”
Looking at Ren Lingxuan, who was already immersed in looking at the menu, Xu Wen had no choice but to order something to eat first.
Under Ren Lingxuan's recommendation, the two quickly ordered what they wanted to eat, and while waiting for the food, Ren Lingxuan and Xu Wen chatted about some things she had encountered in the company recently.
"Hello, this is a two-point Angus ribeye steak. ”
Soon, the waiter served the first course and introduced it to the two.
"Wow, that's a good look. Looking at the tempting steak in front of her, Ren Lingxuan's index finger moved, and she picked up a knife and fork and cut off a piece and put it in her mouth with anticipation.
"How is it?" Xu Wen asked as he looked at Ren Lingxuan.
Ren Lingxuan chewed it hard, revealing a subtle expression, and whispered to Xu Wen: "I don't think it's as delicious as the braised pork you made." ”
"Poof. ”
Xu Wen snickered.
At this time, Xu Wen's porcini mushroom sauce noodles were also served, and after tasting it, Xu Wen also whispered to Ren Lingxuan: "I also think it's not as delicious as the eel noodles you made." ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"It seems that we are the so-called poor people's tongues?" Ren Lingxuan asked with a smile.
"Maybe. ”
Then the two stopped talking and silently "enjoyed" the expensive meal in front of them.
……
"Whew...... I'll go to the bathroom. After finally eating all the things he ordered, Xu Wen let out a long breath and said to Ren Lingxuan.
"Hmm. Ren Lingxuan nodded towards Xu Wen.
Waiting for Xu Wen to walk downstairs, Ren Lingxuan remembered what he had just said, "I also think it's not as delicious as the eel noodles you made." I couldn't help but smile again, thinking that next time she had a birthday, she would have two bowls of noodles.
Thinking of her birthday, Ren Lingxuan held her chin with both hands and thought back to how long it had been since she had a birthday.
'Like...... The last time you had a birthday was when you were 10 years old?'
She still remembers that night her mother came back from buying a piece of strawberry cake, dragged her from the bed to the table and lit a candle to make a wish, but it was probably because she was too sleepy at that time, and Ren Lingxuan couldn't remember what she made at that time.
"Wow......"
Just when Ren Lingxuan fell into her memories, there was a sudden sound of a piano downstairs.
When she first entered the restaurant, Ren Lingxuan did see a piano in the center of the restaurant, but no one was playing.
'Hmm...... is that, Xu Wen!?'
After carefully confirming it twice, Ren Lingxuan determined that the person sitting in front of the piano at this time was Xu Wen, and Xu Wen also seemed to feel her gaze, raised his head and smiled at her.
'He can even play the piano...... Ren Lingxuan was in a trance for a while, but soon, happy emotions filled her heart, because she knew that this should be Xu Wen's birthday gift to her.
Xu Wen is playing the well-known To Alice at this time, which is one of Beethoven's most well-known piano pieces.
Ren Lingxuan has naturally heard this piano piece countless times, but she has never felt that this piece is so moving as she is today.
