Chapter 32: When You're Old

"She sings so well. Sheng Qianyu said with a smile.

"Do you like this song very much?" asked Dong Guo Yao.

"Like. Sheng Qianyu replied.

"I wrote this song. Dong Guo Yao said.

"Well, that's well written...... What do you say, you said that you wrote this song? Aren't you a writer? Can you still write songs?" Sheng Qianyu's eyes once again shone with a crystal light, like a wave of spring water.

"Hobbies. Dong Guo Yao smiled.

So far, this is indeed the case, although he has the intention to enter the music world, but he feels that the driver is not mature now, and he will still take writing as his main business for a while.

"You're amazing! It's a great song. Sheng Qianyu was sincerely admired.

Looking at Sheng Qianyu's adoring look, Dong Guo Yao opened his mouth and asked, "Do you believe me so much?"

"Why do you want to suspect that you lied to me?" Sheng Qianyu asked rhetorically.

"Nope. Dong Guo Yao replied.

"Thank you. Sheng Qianyu said suddenly.

"Thank me for what?" Dong Guo Yao was a little puzzled.

"Thank you for accompanying me on my birthday. Sheng Qianyu spoke, and there was another sentence in his heart: Thank God for letting me meet you.

Dong Guo Yao was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Today is your birthday? Why didn't you say it earlier, I didn't even have time to prepare a gift." ”

"It's okay, I'll make it up later. Sheng Qianyu saw Dong Guo Yao's apologetic look, smiled and said.

I will make up this sentence in the future, but unfortunately Dong Guo Yao didn't hear it, and only thought it was Sheng Qianyu's polite words.

"What's the point of not giving a birthday gift on your birthday?" Dong Guo Yao opened his mouth and thought in his heart how to solve the problem of Sheng Qianyu's birthday gift.

"It really doesn't matter, I'm used to it anyway. ”

Sheng Qianyu said indifferently, but Dong Guo Yao was a little heartbroken, so he was even more determined to give Sheng Qianyu an impressive gift.

"Don't you know how to write songs? Or sing me a song, a song that you sing to me just for me, as a birthday present from you. Seeing that Dong Guo Yao was thinking seriously with a serious face, Sheng Qianyu suddenly spoke.

Although she says she doesn't mind, what girl doesn't want to receive a gift from someone she likes on her birthday?

"Singing, now?" Dong Guo Yao was stunned when he heard this.

"Well, now, do you dare?" Sheng Qianyu pointed in the direction of the female singer-in-residence, and said defiantly.

"Why don't you dare, I dare to go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire for you?" Dong Guo Yao said when he heard this.

When Sheng Qianyu heard this, he didn't speak, but looked at Dong Guo Yao with a smile, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Wait. Seeing Sheng Qianyu's quiet and beautiful appearance that suddenly quieted down, Dong Guo Yao's heart moved for no reason, and he immediately got up from his seat and walked towards the girl who was playing and singing.

Looking at Dong Guo Yao's back, Sheng Qianyu's heart swelled with a little sweetness.

Walking to the front of the stage, the girl in the audience happened to finish singing "Childhood", so Dong Guo Yao walked up and pointed to Sheng Qianyu who didn't know what to say to her.

Then, Sheng Qianyu saw that the girl looked in Sheng Qianyu's direction, so he stood up from the stool with a smile and handed his guitar to Dongguo Yao.

Dongguo Yao smiled and nodded at the girl, then sat on the stool with the guitar in his arms and winked at Sheng Qianyu.

Sheng Qianyu was amused by his naughty appearance, and laughed out loud: "Childish uncle!"

Most of the people in the restaurant are regulars, and everyone is quite familiar with the resident singer, so everyone doesn't pay much attention to her when she sings. But now seeing Dong Guo Yao suddenly walking up, everyone suddenly became interested, and they all looked at Dong Guo Yao curiously.

Dong Guo Yao sat on the barstool and tried to play the folk guitar in his hand a few times, and the tone and feel were quite good.

He closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, and when he opened his eyes, Dong Guo Yao's fingers also moved.

With the sound of the guitar, Dong Guo Yao opened his mouth and sang:

When you are old and your hair is gray

Drowsiness

When you're old, you can't walk anymore

Warm up by the fire and reminisce about your youth

How many people have loved your youthful and joyful hours

Admire your beauty

False or sincere

There is only one person who still loves your pious soul

Love the wrinkles on your old face

When you're old, your eyebrows are drooping

The lights are dim

The wind is blowing

Your message

This is the song in my heart

……
