Section 112 Carnival Banquet
The snow falling outside the huge glass window, the warm atmosphere in the brightly lit hall, the fragrant food, the people talking, the melodious music played by the band, sitting on a sofa by the window, Dongfang Lu holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and a small plate full of food in front of him, of course, he didn't eat and drink much, because he didn't come in to eat.
"What, brother, do you think your charm has been hit?" Although Dongfang Lu is making a double sofa at the moment, when she walked over, Dongfang Wan still chose a vacant seat next to her. After the incident of the Star Dream, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters has become much closer, but in a big family, they have never been sticky since they were children, and they can't get too close after all: "That Miss Ye Lingjing just came over to say hello and ignored you, what should I do?" Brother, let's go up and talk. β
"She's just busy, there's no need to bother her." With a faint smile, Dongfang Lu's eyes followed the figure of the girl in the crowd, the sixteen-year-old girl was actually almost the same as an adult, wearing a close-fitting suit, Ling Jing ran around the hall with a smile, occasionally showing a cute childish playfulness, occasionally but also a sense of maturity that was different from her peers, that kind of maturity is very different from the maturity of Dongfang brothers and sisters under the deliberate cultivation, Ling Jing is mature and reads at the same time, but also maintains the purest something, which is also the most attractive highlight of her.
Especially in Dongfang Lu's view, the peers around him are inevitably naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve, and sometimes even ridiculous, and if they are adults, they are all mediocre and corrupted by society, and they have become shrewd while discarding all their beauty. Therefore, the more I came into contact with this girl named Lingjing in school, the more Dongfang Lu felt an incomparably huge attraction, and she was a miracle.
"Brother, don't think that people will take the initiative to come over when you wait here, if you don't go up...... See? The bald over there, the handsome guy over there, the handsome guy over there, these people can keep an eye on your little angel for a long time, if she falls into the hands of others, it will be too late for you to go again. β
"Heh, stop talking nonsense." Dongfang Lu smiled indifferently, "And do you think that Lingjing will like these vulgar people to the extreme?" β
"That's hard to say." Dongfang Wan rolled her eyes, "Being able to become good friends with a guy like Gu Jiaming, I think her brain is a little abnormal, if she is likely to become my sister-in-law, please let her get rid of this problem first, okay?" β
"I think classmate Gu Jiaming is good, I may be able to become good friends with him, and he also saved your life......" Dongfang Lu looked at his sister for a while, "As the saying goes, love is deeply responsible, Xiaowan, you have such a big grudge against classmate Jiaming, could it be that you have ...... him"
"Cut, die, even if all the men in the world are dead, I won't let that cynical bastard be my Adam's, he looks ugly and is disgusted by his family, except for basketball, he has no talent, and he has a bad temper, tsk......t-tut" shook his head, Dongfang Wan stood up, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, that flower magpie is coming to annoy you again, I flashed first...... That handsome guy over there, I'm going to get him in three minutes......"
After taking two steps, Dongfang Wan pulled the black flat hat on her head and turned around and made a grimace, at this time, she was like the most dazzling black pearl in the banquet hall, exuding incomparable charm.
The wrist above the shopping mall, in fact, means of communication account for a large component, for this sister who always likes to "seduce" strangers as exercisers in such banquets, Dongfang Lu smiled helplessly, and then, the beautiful woman who was Dongfang Wan became a "flower magpie" sat next to Dongfang Lu, feeling the physical contact, he frowned imperceptibly, and then smiled: "Isn't Sister Danwen going over to play?" β
"It's boring." Shrugged her shoulders gently, the big beauty Dong Danwen smiled faintly on her face, picked up a red grape and bit it lightly on her lips, with a hint of charm in her elegance. Maybe it's only in front of Dongfang Road that she will show such a smile slightly, and the evaluation of her in the school is about four points: cold, beautiful, arrogant and versatile, in the past year and a half, whenever there is a theatrical evening in the school, the finale dance must belong to her, in Jianghai City, she can even be regarded as a little star. However, although she was pure and elegant on the surface and cold and indifferent, Dongfang Wan could see the inherent sense of showing off at a glance, so she called her a flower magpie.
"Isn't Dongfang Senior also going to play? I'm so bored with this dance party, I really want to leave everyone and leave. As a man, when a beautiful woman hints like this, say, "Let's go together." Maybe you can make something similar to elopement romantic things, and the restaurant is above the hotel, if you find a place to be quiet, maybe you can be "quiet" until dawn, Dongfang Road is helpless to smile: "No, I think it's very good here, I was tired of playing just now, it's good to come and sit down." If Danwen is tired, why don't I ask the driver to send the girl back first. I'll explain it in a moment, and I'm sure you won't mind. β
Hearing that it was sent by the driver rather than Dongfang Lu himself, Dong Danwen shrugged her shoulders: "No, let's play together, how can I sweep everyone's interest, since Dongfang Senior is also tired, I will sit here with the senior for a while." β
Although this time the mind fell on Ling Jing, but with the beauty to accompany him, even if this beauty is a little hypocritical, it is not uncomfortable for a man, and after saying a few words, Dongfang Lu suddenly found two people sitting not far away, and one of the middle-aged men also found him and waved hello.
Guiding Dong Danwen over, Dongfang Lu said with a smile: "Teacher Zheng, you came to Jianghai City, why don't you let the students come over to pick you up." Well, Danwen, this is the famous Hong Kong songwriter Zheng Zepei Zheng, and this is my younger sister Dong Danwen, she is also very interested in lyrics and songs. β
That Zheng Zepei shook hands with Dongfang Lu with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of lyrics and songs, compared to Huang Laolai, I am far behind, Xiaolu, didn't you also visit Huang Lao last time you went to Hong Kong, but I didn't see it later, and this time I finally have a chance." β
After some introduction, Dongfang Road only knew the identity of the person next to Zheng Zepei, at this time the TV is not developed, not like a few years later, not only singers and movie stars are on camera, musicians can also go to the foreground from behind the scenes, in recent years, the music development of the mainland is basically influenced by Hong Kong and Taiwan, if this Zheng Zepei is the most front-line musician in Hong Kong, the old Huang next to him is a legend in the music industry, countless singers who sang the songs he wrote became popular, and learned the identities of these two people, Dong Danwen, the iceberg melted in an instant, The heart beats like a drum kit on stage.
The four of them talked, Dong Danwen made a studious gesture and occasionally asked a few questions, looking forward to which of these two musicians could write a song for her or take her into the music and film world. Zheng Zepei on the opposite side is more talkative, it is said that Dongfang Lu traveled to Hong Kong last year, and once made a special trip to visit him, and showed him some tunes he wrote after class, which was greatly favored by Zheng Zepei, and then the two had a friendship between teachers and students. The old Huang listened on the sidelines, occasionally nodded with a smile, and said a few words, cherishing words like gold.
Soon, the host walked to the central stage with a colored ball: "So, now let's start today's second interactive program, whoever receives this colored ball will come up to perform a program, everyone says it's good!" If you want to show off your singing and dancing skills, or want to show your girlfriend love in the most romantic atmosphere, hurry up! The first, who wants, we have professional accompaniment, there are ......"
At this time, karaoke was prevalent in the outside world, and after listening to the host's words, some men and women who were confident in their singing voices immediately raised their hands, and the atmosphere was warm...... Standing in the crowd, Ling Jing looked at the watch on her wrist, and then looked at the snow outside the big glass window, it was half past eight, and soon after, Jiaming would come over, and she had already told the manager that she could leave at nine o'clock, thinking of the small party that would be held at Yahan's house, she smiled faintly.
β¦β¦
There was a bang, and on the snow, the bicycle had a flat tire.
Looking at his watch, at eight fifty-three, Jiaming frowned, this place is not far from Nordic fantasy. I remember that there was a car repair stall not far ahead, but I didn't know if there was anyone there in such a snowy day. Vehicles come and go on the streets, lights flash, in fact, in Jianghai City at this time, most people still don't have Christmas Eve. Turning the corner of the road, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, a small shed on the side of the road was still shining with orange and yellow light.
"Master, the rear wheel has a flat tire, please take a look."
"Okay."
Steaming hot, the old-dressed mechanic smiled and put the bike down, then carried the cold bucket in his large, red, cracked hand.
"Master, why do you start work so late? It's a cold day. β
"Ah, haha, I'm sad." The car mechanic smiled heartily, "Little Housheng, I see that you are not wearing much, go to the back shop and wait first, it will be fine in five minutes, the shop will be at least warmer, and I will call you then." β
"Well, then I'll trouble you, master."
β¦β¦
Eight fifty-nine a.m.
Ling Jing looked at her watch, Jia Ming has always been used to coming a little earlier, why hasn't it arrived at this time. Hmph, I'm going to make it a little difficult for him when I'm going to come late. Ling Jing playfully wrinkled her nose and made a decision.
When he turned his head to look at the stage, he walked up to the graceful Dongfang Road, took the colored ball, waved it elegantly a few times, and then picked up the microphone.
"Uh...... What I'm going to perform for you is a song I wrote a month ago for a girl in the venue. Well, I've already got the score, I hope I can invite a piano accompanist, hehe, the handsome guys and beauties of the band on the stage have been busy for so long, I think I should let them rest a little......"
Offstage, Dong Danwen had already stood up with a smile.
ββ¦β¦ Ye Lingjing, could you please accompany me? β
Dong Danwen's smile instantly froze on her face, and Ling Jing was slightly stunned: "Uh...... I? Then he smiled and waved his hand, "I can't do it, I haven't been learning piano for too long, and it's ......" She shook her head, wanting to see if Jiaming's figure appeared outside, but after all, it didn't, and then, Zhang Jingfeng walked over and said with a smile: "Lingjing, although it's already nine o'clock, but Jiaming hasn't come here anyway, since people want you to accompany by name, let's go up for a while." β
"Uh...... All right. She smiled helplessly, "I can't shoot well, don't blame me." β
For a moment, a soulful melody sounded in the venue......
β¦β¦
Tucking a pair of cheap white gloves into his pocket, Jiaming walked out of the shop behind him.
"Okay? Master, how much. β
"Alright, alright, no problem, a dollar."
"Oh, yes, thank you."
"Hehe, it's okay, little offspring, ride well."
"Well, goodbye."
With a wave of his hand, Jiaming rode his bicycle and turned into a side road. About five minutes later, I came to the door of the Nordic fantasy, and there was a song that was not professional but also quite charming: "In this life, I will treat you as, all my ......" I couldn't help but smile, the lyrics are so straightforward.
Looking in from the large glass window, I saw Dongfang Lu standing on the circular stage singing, his usual demeanor, and the posture of holding the microphone was obviously very professional, but his eyes were always looking at the ...... playing the piano on the side Tranquility!
At this time, the lights shone down, and the stage played and sang, like a pair of beautiful people. Jiaming shrugged helplessly, pushed his bicycle to the door of the restaurant, but the security guard knew him: "Hey, Jiaming, come to pick up Lingjing again?" β
"Well, what about the family waiting for her to eat? Can I go in? β
"Hehe, go in, go in, it's not that you don't know you, put the bike here, I'll help you watch it."
"Okay, thanks."
β¦β¦
After singing a song, it immediately attracted applause from the audience, and Zheng Zepei also nodded with a smile on the chair, and commented a few words with Huang Lao. It's good for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy to be able to compose music to this extent as an amateur. In the midst of everyone's shouts, Ling Jing stood up and bowed formulaically, with a bright smile, and was about to step down. Dongfang Lu flipped it in his hand and conjured up a beautiful rose: "Hehe, this is the flower I secretly folded on the table over there just now, I hope the restaurant won't let me compensate, in order to show my gratitude for letting Lingjing accompany me, I want to give this flower to her...... Lingjing, this is my gratitude, I hope not to refuse. β
Below, Dong Danwen's face turned pale, but Dongfang Wan was admiring her brother's methods, and it was really a method of killing with one blow, looking at the flowers sent to her, Ling Jing hesitated for a while, Dongfang Wan had already taken the lead in inciting below: "Take it!" Take it! Take it! Take ......" Suddenly, the entire banquet hall shouted in cacomotion. Looking at the crowd below in embarrassment, Ling Jing took the rose, struggled out with a smile and said, "Thank you." β
"Huh." Knowing that the offensive against Ling Jing had to be taken slowly, Dongfang Lu picked up the microphone and walked to the side, "So, who is next, let me see." β
In the crowd, Dong Danwen also raised her hand coldly, she was not convinced. Dongfang Lu smiled and threw the colored balls over.
The lights danced, and then froze in front of Dong Danwen, it was a young man wearing casual clothes, and there seemed to be snow on his shoulders and feet, his appearance was very ordinary, at this time he looked at the colored ball in his hand, and scratched his hair in distress.
"Uh, I accidentally got it, then...... Did you get it to sing? β
