Chapter 81: Long Time No See
On Friday afternoon, the little fat man Kong Lei ran to the nameless tavern again and fought Fang Yan. He made a lot of preparations, and the guitar sound became more fierce and ferocious, but he was still abused to the point of vomiting blood.
"It's so hard to play the piano......," he sighed in despair.
Fang Yan thought that this kind of high-intensity practice would be of great benefit to both of them. Especially Kong Lei, if he insists on playing like this for 3 years, he will definitely surpass himself.
At just 22 years old, he has a sense of responsibility to nurture the next generation.
In the evening, I will go to the cocktail party for the wedding of a wealthy family. Fang Yan didn't eat and hurried to a luxury hotel in the city center. He came to this place once during the day, tried the sound, and now he can sing it.
Last time in the "Xi Tang" wedding company, Fang Yan felt that Liu Pengyuan and Qu Xin were approachable and nothing special. And now, seeing the guests at the reception, he finally realized that rich people are really different.
All the guests are as if they have been polished and exude the charm of money. All kinds of gorgeous evening dresses, dazzling jewelry, and a faint fragrance in the air. Dazzling lights, staff running around. Outside the hall, there are still a few people in suits waiting, it is the wedding band.
More than half of the guests arrived, sitting at round tables, each dressed in formal attire. There are two long tables on either side of the stage in the hall, which are seats for the families of both sides, both of which are still empty. Liu Pengyuan and Qu Xin have not yet appeared.
The stage was filled with clumps of lilies, hundreds of them. In addition, there is only one chair, two microphones.
Wang Yu stood behind the big camera in the distance and greeted Fang Yan.
Uncle Qin Yun didn't come.
Originally, Fang Yan felt that it was too easy to earn 100,000 yuan, and he was a little embarrassed. Seeing this formation, he felt a little relieved. 100,000 yuan is nothing in the eyes of others.
"Long time no see. ”
A good-looking girl walked to the front of the stage, staring at him with bright eyes and smiling shallowly.
“…… Long time no see. ”
Channing. The girl who slept against him all the way on the train. Since the last time I met her on the pedestrian street, the two have never been in touch, WeChat has been added, but no one has sent a message.
The girl was dressed very casually, a small dress with a shallow cherry blossom pattern, a pair of sports slippers barefoot, no jewelry, and no makeup. Her short hair slanted across her cheeks, glistening softly in the light.
In this radiant hall, Channing is the most special one.
Qian Ning couldn't stop laughing and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Sing songs for the wedding for a while and make ......money," Fang Yan explained, feeling a little embarrassed.
"How are you doing?"
"It's good. By the way, I'm singing in a bar, so you can come and have fun when you have time. ”
"Are you welcome?"
Qian Ning was still smiling, but his eyes dimmed. She had been following Fang Yan's news, and she also knew that Fang Yan was singing in the Nameless Tavern, but she hadn't been there. At the last concert at the Royal Gymnasium, He Yu personally said that Fang Yan had a girlfriend.
You have a girlfriend, what am I going to do?" Qian Ning thought.
She thought about it countless times, but she couldn't think clearly. She was originally cheerful and open-minded, but this matter was very entangled.
She felt like she had a ghost in her heart.
Many times, she opened the WeChat chat window and wanted to send a greeting to the empty input box, but finally closed it helplessly. Because there are no words.
Sometimes fate is exhausted, and it is useless to force it. Maybe an encounter on the train is the whole relationship between the two. Channing couldn't say that he was lost, but he just stayed up more late.
"Wizard?"
"I went to your nameless tavern last week!"
"Dude, the guitar is so good!"
Many young guests in the hall found Fang Yan and hugged him one after another, and Qian Ning unconsciously let go of the circle and looked at him silently.
So be it.
At 7:20, the hall was brightly lit and Fang Yan began to sing. The first song is "The End of the World" by the bride Qu Xinxuan.
"Why is the sun still shining, why are the beaches still washing the reef, don't they understand that the end of the world has come, when you don't love me anymore......"
The 100,000 yuan was not earned for nothing, Fang Yan practiced it seriously, and even tried to sing it in the nameless tavern. Coupled with the powerful blessing of the new guitar, the effect is very good.
But singing at a wedding is far less comfortable than being in prison, on the streets, or in an unnamed tavern. Moreover, except for the last song "In My Life", the rest of the songs that were finally decided were particularly sad. Fang Yan was always worried that something bad would happen.
Thankfully, everything went well.
The family and guests were fascinated, and Liu Pengyuan and Qu Xin were very satisfied.
After 20 minutes of singing, Fang Yan bowed and stepped down from the stage amid applause, quickly installed the guitar, said goodbye to the groom Liu Pengyuan, and walked out of the hall. On the steps of the hotel, he lit a cigarette and prepared to leave.
Behind him was the sound of kicking and pulling slippers, and Qian Ning slowly followed, standing side by side with Fang Yan.
"Why did you get out?"
Channing looked out at the road outside the hotel, all kinds of cars were jammed, converging into a shiny steel monster. She said, "Didn't you say take me to a bar? I want to go." ”
"Hmm. ”
It's a bit far from the riverside bar street. The two walked silently in the shade of the trees, the shadows under the street lamps dragged for a long time, and the atmosphere was a little ambiguous.
Qian Ning didn't like this feeling of inexplicability, but after hesitating, she still said, "Can you come to my house and sing?"
"What?"
"Tell my grandfather. He loves listening to your music. ”
“……”
"My grandmother passed away the year before last, and for more than a year, my grandfather has been sullen and always has a tantrum. No one dared to persuade him except me. I grew up with my grandparents until I was in elementary school. So...... I think maybe you'll be in a better mood if you play the piano for him. ”
"Hmm. ”
Asking Fang Yan to sing to her grandfather was an idea that Qian Ning had always had, and after an unexpected encounter at the wedding, she finally said it. She felt a bit of a fluke, and if it wasn't for the wedding, they might never see each other.
"My grandfather was really pathetic. ”
Comforting an old man with music, as if it was okay. Fang Yan regarded Qian Ning as a friend and was willing to help. But the problem is, Channing is a pretty girl.
He asked, "Can I bring my girlfriend with me?"
Channing's footsteps stopped. A slipper fell to the ground, and she jumped lightly on one leg a few times, carefully put her foot into the slipper, and slowly walked back again.
After a few seconds, she returned to normal and said with a smile, "Of course, you're welcome." ”
"Okay, then I'll go. ”
Fang Yan was wholeheartedly devoted to Yuan Yuan and didn't want her to have any misunderstanding. What's more, this girl has to follow him everywhere.
After walking for more than half an hour, I finally arrived at the end of the bar street, the nameless tavern.
Yang Zhenyu is singing on stage. Lao Liu and Xiao Mu were very surprised when they saw that Fang Yan brought back a beautiful girl. Fang Yan introduced Qian Ning to everyone, and several people greeted each other in a chaotic manner.
What was more surprising was that Yuan Yuan was not hostile to Qian Ning, and took the initiative to pull her and say, "We met last time." ”
Lao Liu leaned on the side of the bar, looked at Fang Yan's gaze with some sarcasm, and asked, "How is it, this 100,000 yuan is not easy to earn, right?"
"Don't mention it, it's a little awkward, and I feel uncomfortable. ”
"That's right. ”
Fang Yan sighed and said, "They are all rich people, I don't adapt to that kind of place." Say nothing next time I won't go. ”
"You're comfortable if you don't give money. ”
“……“
Most comfortable in the nameless tavern. Fang Yan took a big breath of the air as soon as he entered the door.
