Chapter 180: Unforgettable Chinese New Year's Eve 4
After receiving my instructions, Xiao Wu immediately turned around and walked backstage with the guitar in an extremely awkward position, but the apprehension in my heart did not diminish at all, because I was not sure if Mi Cai and Jian Wei saw those two silver lines.
I pretended to be calm and returned to Janeway, who looked calmer than I was, her slender white fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, while her attention was on the script, and she didn't seem to be going to say anything to me again.
After a while, I finally asked her, "How did you read the script?" ”
Jian Wei smiled and said, "It's almost, when will the event start preparations?" ”
Her smile finally relieved me, and she smiled back, "It starts at 7 o'clock on time." ”
Jian Wei looked at the time and said, "There are still 20 minutes, I'll go through the script again, you go and get busy with yours." ”
I nodded, and then left, and then came to Mi Cai's side, and the mood that had just calmed down began to feel apprehensive again, but still asked with a very calm look: "How are you preparing for those two songs?" ”
"No problem."
Looking at her usual indifferent appearance, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, smiled and said, "That's good, that's good......"
"Why is it good to say two in a row? Are you afraid I'm going to mess up? ”
I am really grateful to Mi Cai for taking the initiative to give me such a good reason to hide my panic, and quickly nodded and said: "Yes, I'm afraid that you will fail to act, after all, you have not been exposed to these two songs before." ”
"Don't worry, you won't be screwed."
Mi Cai smiled at me after speaking, and I was more relieved because of this smile, and I was sure that the guitar turmoil was resolved without danger.
……
It was 7 p.m. and firecrackers were already ringing outside the bar, with a few hours to go until the new year was approaching.
The event officially began, the waiters prepared the food for the customers, and Janeway also stood on the small stage to preside over the small party, and after sending New Year's greetings to the customers on behalf of the bar as usual, it entered the official part of the event.
The first to go up and sing was Mi Cai, and the singing track was the song "Spring Equinox", her singing lived up to expectations, and soon brought the first small climax, many customers also echoed her to sing, and many people at the scene will sing this song It also proves that the customers who come here to consume have a strong literary and artistic tendency, and I also believe that this bar will become a place where some people in the city live in their hearts.
After Mi Cai's singing, many customers asked to take photos with her, in fact, Mi Cai's many singing in the bar has cultivated a small number of loyal fans, Mi Cai seems to be in a good mood, and did not refuse these people's requests for a group photo, and even drank a few glasses of wine with them.
And Janeway's host did a good job, and in the middle of the event, she instigated talented customers to perform the show, and the atmosphere was always very active under her mobilization, which made me think that her love was very good, until the end of the event at 9 o'clock, I realized that I was wrong!
……
It was half past nine in the evening, and the customers in the bar were still drinking, chatting, and singing, and I went outside the bar to see Janeway off.
Breathing in the fresh air outside, I lit a cigarette before saying to Janeway, "You have to let me say thank you this time, you really helped me a lot with tonight's event!" ”
"Really?" Janeway frowned.
Her frown made me think I was hallucinating, after all, the smile had barely broken on her face since she left the bar, so I didn't pay much attention to it, and admonished, "You drive slower on the road, there are still hours until 12 o'clock, and you will definitely be able to get to Shanghai." ”
Janeway's eyes suddenly glistened with tears, and she bit her lip and looked at me.
At this moment, I finally confirmed that her frown just now was not my hallucination, and then asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”
After a long silence, Janeway finally asked me, "Zhaoyang, aren't you going to say something to me about that guitar?" ”
My heart suddenly tightened, and I exhaled a puff of cigarette before asking, "You saw it all?" ”
Jian Wei smiled with tears but sarcasm: "Every detail of that guitar case is deeply engraved in my mind, do you think I can't recognize the two silver lines that are covered by it?" ”
"But you? ……”
"But why am I still pretending to be nothing, right?"
I panicked, but nodded, I did wonder what was the force that sustained her to act as if nothing had happened.
"I don't want to mess up your event because of my love, but now that the event is over, you have to give me an explanation, you said earlier that the guitar was taken away by the CC, why did it appear in the hands of that drummer?"
I snuffed out the cigarette in my hand, picked up another one, and said in a low voice for a long time, "I sold him the guitar." ”
The tears that had been rolling in Janeway's eyes fell down her fair cheeks in an instant, and she choked up with pain and asked, "Why did you sell this guitar, and why did you sell it?" ”
"I don't want to keep this guitar that represents the past anymore, can I?"
Janeway nodded: "Yes, you're right, it represents something from the past, and none of us should stay around!" ”
I took another heavy drag on my cigarette, and my heart was so dull that I didn't know how to reply to Janeway's words.
Janeway suddenly put down the handbag in her hand, then sat down on the ground and took off her red leather boots......
I looked at her in shock, not knowing what she was going to do.
At this point she took off her socks again, and then I saw the gold anklet at her neck, and the memories flooded back, because this anklet was bought for her with the money I had earned from singing in the bar years ago.
Janeway untied the anklet, then got up, stood barefoot on the frozen ground, handed the anklet to me, and said coldly: "I will return this anklet you gave me now...... Please give me back that guitar too. ”
"Do you want to put your shoes on first? You're going to catch a cold! ”
Janeway ignored my concerns, there were still tears in her eyes, but her voice was full of determination: "Take this anklet from my hand." ”
Her bare feet had begun to cramp from the extreme cold, and then she collapsed on top of me unsteadily, and without thinking much about it, she picked up her shoes and socks from the ground, picked her up with both hands, and walked towards her car.
When I was about to open the car door, I saw Mi Cai standing behind me in the rearview mirror of the car.
I didn't think much about it, opened the door of the car, and then hugged Janeway in, and then said to her: "I really didn't do anything wrong with the guitar, if you really don't want to stay with me, I should return it to you, not sell it...... Don't worry, I'll get that guitar back and hand it back to you. ”
"Okay, wait for you to give me back the guitar." With that, she slipped the anklet into my hand, pushed me away, closed the door, started the car before I even put on my shoes and socks, and then pulled a stream of air around me, completely disappearing from sight.
