Chapter 41: Confused
In the song "10-Minutes", after HaNi finished performing with Jiang Liuxing, he did not leave immediately, and sat on the chair next to Jiang Liuxing again, making the appearance of a fan, and listening to Jiang Liuxing sing the next song intoxicated.
βNotice-meοΌTake-my-handοΌWhy-are-me-strangers-whenβ¦β¦β
This is an English song, and the lyrics are translated as follows:
"My dear, please look me in the eye, hold my hand, and tell me why we have become such strangers, and why you don't continue to love me when our love is strong."
"You know, every time I want to start again, every time it's unforgettable, I'm so small without you, dear, I need you so much, every time I see you in a dream, I'm staring at you so carefully, you make me so haunted, honey, I really need you......"
This song is called "Everytime", which is a hit song released by global pop diva Britney Spears in 2004, which is considered a pop ballad with a gasping voice, and has received universal praise from music critics, and is considered one of Britney's best pop ballads, and has also achieved proud results on the music charts of many countries around the world.
"Everytime" is a song written by Britney herself, about an ex-girlfriend who asks her ex-boyfriend to forgive her for the harm she has caused him, and the overall feeling of the song is comfortable, serene and sincere.
There is a theory that the song is Britney's reply to her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake's 2002 song "Cry-Me-A-River", but this claim has been denied by Britney.
After global idol singer Justin Timberlake quit the "Superboy" group, he released his debut album "Justified" in 2002, in which there is a hit song called "Cry-Me-A-River", which he wrote to Britney.
Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears are a pair of unforgettable former lovers, they are the same age, they met at the Mickey Mouse Club as early as 12 years old, and the spark of love began to burst out from the moment they met, and when they were 22 years old, they had become big stars, and they broke up under the pressure and doubts of public opinion.
Justin Timberlake said that he couldn't sleep because of the heartache and could only fall asleep vaguely with the dawn of the morning, and in "Cry-Me-A-River", he seems to be alluding to his life, his pain, maybe his revenge, maybe his incomprehension, maybe that's why the song has some beautiful mournful rhyme.
Regarding that relationship and that unforgettable, whether it is Justin Timberlake or Britney Spears, these two world-famous music geniuses, have written several songs to tell and catharsis, "Cry-Me-A-River" should be regarded as the most classic.
The original song of "Everytime", the arrangement is very attentive and exquisite, integrating piano, violin, cello, harp and other musical instruments, and the current version of Jiang Meteor's performance is still adapted by himself, only accompanied by an acoustic guitar, the accompaniment effect is obviously not as good as the original, but it still has a unique charm.
Under Jiang Liuxing's fluent English pronunciation and affectionate singing, the meaning of this song has naturally changed, from an ex-girlfriend asking her ex-boyfriend to forgive her for the harm he had caused, to an ex-boyfriend asking his ex-girlfriend to forgive him for the harm he had caused her.
As Jiang Liuxing sang, some passers-by took the initiative to throw money into the guitar bag on the ground, and there were more and more passers-by who stopped to watch.
After singing the song, HaNi was the first to applaud vigorously, and the passers-by around him also gave some applauding applause.
At this time, HaNi said to Jiang Meteor with some reluctance: "Meteor Oba, I really want to sit like this and listen to you sing all the time, but I have to go to the square now, and my friends are still waiting for me there." β
"Well, you can go quickly." Jiang Liuxing smiled and nodded, and then said, "Thank you, HaNi." β
Thank you because of HaNi's help just now, so that Jiang Liuxing, who was selling art, quickly attracted a lot of onlookers from passers-by, and since it has attracted the onlookers of passers-by, with Jiang Liuxing's talent, I believe that this performance will always attract more attention in the future.
"No thanks, it's just a small thing." HaNi smiled, sat up from his chair, patted his buttocks, and ran away quickly.
As soon as HaNi walked away, Krystal hurriedly quietly sat back in the chair beside Jiang Liuxing.
Jiang Liuxing asked funny, "Why did you sit back again?" Don't you feel ashamed? β
Krystal snorted, pouted and said, "Who feels ashamed, I...... I'm going to sit here. β
Jiang Liuxing smiled playfully and began to play and sing again.
Before you know it, dozens of minutes have passed.
At this time, Jiang Liuxing had been performing on this street for an hour.
Krystal stared blankly at the guitar bag on the ground, thinking that it was quite profitable to perform on the street because there was already a lot of money in the guitar bag, although many of them were small denominations, and the total number of them was more than 100,000 won.
earned more than 100,000 won in an hour, which is already quite a lot, because Jiang Liuxing's talent is really good, because he has been performing near Hongdae many times, and some passers-by "fans" are willing to throw money at him, and also because of HaNi's help,
Jiang Liuxing was already tired, so he temporarily stopped to rest for a while.
Jiang Meteor took out a sky-blue stainless steel portable cup from his backpack and drank water.
When Krystal saw it, he said curiously, "I've seen Yoon'er Oni have a similar portable cup, but hers is pink, did you give her?" β
Jiang Liuxing nodded.
Last year, when he was shopping with Yuna, he saw a couple of portable cups, one was sky blue and the other was pink, so he liked it and bought it, not only because it was a couple portable cup, but also because sky blue was Ha Ji Won's favorite color.
Krystal suddenly lowered his head and muttered, "I also like this kind of cup, sky blue and pink are my favorite colors." Krystal's favorite colors include blue, pink, red, purple, black, etc., which are somewhat similar to Yuna's, and they are all a bit "flowery".
Jiang Liuxing looked at Krystal suspiciously: "Why don't I give you this cup?" β
"Hmph, I don't want it." Krystal said with a cold face, thinking that you have been using this cup for so long, it is still the couple cup that I bought with Yun'er, how could I ask for it!
Jiang Liuxing smiled awkwardly, and after drinking it himself, he handed the portable cup to Krystal: "Don't you drink it?" β
Krystal made a proud look: "I don't want to drink the cup you have drunk." β
Jiang Liuxing smiled awkwardly again and put the portable cup into his backpack.
When Krystal saw it, he snorted dissatisfiedly, and whispered in his heart: "This guy is really, I've been here for so long, I must be thirsty." β
Jiang Liuxing closed his eyes, stretched out the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and gently pinched the Qingming acupoint at the base of his nose, because he was already tired.
After a while, seeing that Jiang Liuxing's eyes were still closed, Krystal secretly took out a portable cup from his backpack, revealing that he was a thief.
After taking out the portable cup, Krystal drank it, and without touching the cup, he held the cup and poured the water into his mouth.
Krystal suddenly coughed loudly, because she poured it too quickly, and because she found that the water in the portable cup was not mineral water or juice, but green tea, which she was born and raised in the United States, and she was a little unaccustomed to drinking.
Jiang Liuxing noticed what Krystal was doing, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he quickly retracted it, and his eyes didn't open, pretending not to notice it, so as not to embarrass Krystal.
After Krystal coughed loudly, he hurriedly looked at Jiang Meteor, and saw that Jiang Meteor didn't seem to notice it, so he quickly put the portable cup back into his backpack.
After a while, Jiang Liuxing opened his eyes, smiled at Krystal and said, "You wait here, I'll be back soon." β
After speaking, Jiang Liuxing stood up, picked up the guitar bag on the ground, and walked into the video store next to him.
"What is he doing?" Krystal was puzzled, and quickly followed, curious.
After Jiang Liuxing walked into the video store, he greeted the owner of the video store with a smile, and then put the guitar bag on a counter, took out most of the money in the bag, put it in his pocket, and deliberately left some change and two 10,000 yuan bills without taking it.
Immediately, Jiang Liuxing walked out of the video store with a guitar bag.
As soon as Jiang Liuxing walked out, Krystal, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?" β
Jiang Liuxing said calmly: "Put away the money given by passers-by, if there is too much money, when you perform next, passers-by will feel that they are already very rich, and they will not throw money away again." β
Krystal let out a confused "oh": "Then why do you have to keep some change and two 10,000 yuan bills and not take them?" β
Jiang Liuxing smiled and said: "I left it on purpose, in order to let passers-by know that someone has thrown money, and some people are willing to throw 10,000 yuan banknotes, otherwise passers-by will feel that no one has thrown money, and they will not throw money lightly." β
Krystal let out an "oh" and pouted, "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be quite cunning." β
Jiang Liuxing said: "This can be said to be cunning, but it is actually a kind of business." β
Although the main purpose of Jiang Liuxing's performance is not to make money, it is better to earn it.
Jiang Liuxing also has some talent in business, he has been working in his spare time to earn money since high school, and now his monthly income is already good, which is proof.
Jiang Liuxing took Krystal to sit down on the chair on the street again and continued to perform.
Jiang Liuxing suddenly asked Krystal, "Do you want to sing?" β
Krystal hurriedly shook his head and said arrogantly, "I don't want it." β
Jiang Liuxing smiled slightly, and resumed playing and singing again.
Soon another hour passed.
Jiang Meteor stopped to rest again.
Krystal suddenly lowered his head and asked shyly, "That...... Where are the toilets? β
Jiang Liuxing asked, "Do you want to go to the toilet?" β
"You're not talking nonsense." Krystal thought to himself, blushing and nodding.
Jiang Liuxing said: "Let's go to the video store next door, there is a toilet inside, and I went there to go to the toilet when I came here to sell art." β
Krystal said awkwardly, "I don't know the boss. β
Jiang Liuxing smiled and said, "You just say that you are my sister." β
Krystal snorted, "I'm not your sister." β
Jiang Liuxing held back a smile and deliberately said, "If you don't go, then I can't help it." β
After speaking, Jiang Liuxing deliberately stopped looking at Krystal, took out the portable cup from the backpack again and drank the water, after drinking the water, put the portable cup into the backpack, closed his eyes again, and reached out to gently pinch the Qingming point at the root of his nose.
Krystal looked depressed.
After a while, Krystal couldn't take it anymore and sneaked out of his chair and into the video store.
Krystal walked up to the owner of the video store, bowed his head and asked shyly: "Hello boss, I'm ...... It's Jiang Liuxing's sister, can you lend me the toilet you have here? β
The boss smiled and said, "Sister? I don't think so, I've never heard Meteor say he has any sisters, I guess you should be his little girlfriend, right? β
Krystal blushed and hurriedly said, "No, I'm not his girlfriend." β
The boss said, "Yes, don't be embarrassed to admit it, although you look a little younger." I've never seen Meteor take the initiative to bring a girl here to perform, if you're not her girlfriend, how can he bring you here? β
"Huh?" Krystal was stunned, depressed, and a little puzzled, thinking that Jiang Liuxing hadn't brought Yun'er here to sell art before? Then why did he bring me?
"This guy won't plot against me, will he?" Krystal's heart suddenly felt a little nervous.
The boss held back a smile and pointed in a direction: "The toilet is there." β
Krystal let out an "oh" and hurried into the bathroom.
PS: Britney Spears' "Everytime", recommended to listen to.
