Chapter 33: Long Time No See

Ren Qian sang "Pear Vortex Smile" just to make the guests' eyes shine. But it doesn't give them an artistic sense.

For these passers-by who have no appreciative ability, the only things that can make them applaud are 'Ren Qian looks good' and 'the melody is beautiful'.

It is even more difficult to make them calm down and further explore the inner beauty of the song.

Some things are always superficial.

If Ren Qian now puts "Pear Vortex Smile" on the Vienna Opera House, with a symphony orchestra of dozens or even hundreds of people, with bright lights, and then a majestic arrangement.

Others will sigh, this is the real art.

But, in fact, what art do they know?

So

If a singer wants to become famous and make money, he must sing some popular music, otherwise you will wait to play the piano to the cow.

And the song Ren Qian chose next is extremely popular, the melody is simple, catchy, and you can hum two sentences after listening to it once.

In the previous life, this song was even more famous all over the streets, especially in cafes, and put a song "Long Time No See". It's a bargain.

Therefore, Ren Qian dared to boast that recording the audio would make their coffee shop's business boom.

With distracting thoughts, Ren Qian took a deep breath.

He is good at dealing with the mid-bass, especially the hoarse and deep tones - although he has a wide vocal range, it may be a matter of habit in a previous life, or it may be related to personality, he is not very fond of soaring high notes.

Now, what is needed is Ren Qian's best bass.

Tighten the vocal cords slightly and rub them gently, without excessive force, but you have to repeat it over and over again!

until the chest and Adam's apple are trembling;

until the scalp is numb from the tremor of the vocal cords;

until you can clearly feel the cold wind behind you;

Until the whole person seems to be about to fall apart in that seemingly gentle but fatal friction and trembling.

Ren Qian's bass full of love floats out faintly, like volcanic ash occasionally floating out of an extinct volcanic crater, without the explosive power of a magma eruption, but poisonous!

……

'I have come to your city

Walk the way you came

Imagine life without me

How lonely are you?'

……

Its sound is beautiful, that is, sad and sad.

This is the first feeling of the audience, and then thousands of thoughts rush into their hearts uncontrollably, and the past events sealed in the depths of memory are like demons breaking out of the seal, raging and trampling in their hearts, and bloody pain is spreading.

In just four lines of lyrics, it has become a demon in the ear: caught off guard, vulnerable, chaotic, cracked halberds and broken armor.

And the initiator, Ren Qian, is still full of tears, his Adam's apple is rolling, and his dull bass is swirling, not giving people the slightest respite!

'Take the picture you gave

The familiar street

It's just that the picture of you is gone

We can't go back to that day'

Repeat the previous melody and change the lyrics, but it didn't change the tone of the extremely sad one. This deliberate flaw is like invisibly adding a new wound to the old scar on the listener's chest.

Wound on injury, heartbreaking!

'Will you show up out of nowhere?'

Coffee shop around the corner

I'll have a smile on my face... Looking back on the pleasantries

And you... Sit and chat

How I want to meet you......

Look at how you've changed lately

Don't talk about the past... Just a pleasantry

A word to you... Just to say

Long time no see'

His voice was like a complaint, like a complaint, like a cry.

Until Ren Qian sang to the end and gently spit out a mouthful of turbidity, the whole song did not appear**, the plain melody and melody, the sad and sad singer's emotions, merged into a turbulent flood. tried to break through the window paper between reason and loss of control three times and twice, but was forcibly pressed by Ren Qian.

The audience didn't realize Ren Qian's evil intentions, they were just immersed in it, empathizing with the story in the song, and gradually fell into it and couldn't extricate themselves. Sentimental people have begun to relate to their own experiences, and the images of the past are like a passing movie, emerging one after another.

"I've been breaking up with her for more than a year, and I've always wanted to sneak a look at her again.

Every day, she deliberately drove a taxi to the road she often walked, but she never encountered it.

I drove a taxi this morning and drove to that road habitually.

I saw a girl not far away waving at my taxi.

It's her!

The appearance has not changed, with a ponytail.

Just like it was back then.

I pulled the car over and she opened the door and saw that it was me.

Time froze for three seconds.

She slowly closed the door and didn't get into the car.

I just said into the rearview mirror: long time no see......"

…………

"I'm having insomnia every day now.

It's been almost two years since we broke up, and you're married.

And I'm always stubbornly looking for your shadow in my current girlfriend.

We were together for three years at the roughest time, but we didn't see each other again when we broke up......

I kept the diary and the little note for five years. I didn't have the courage to open it again from the beginning to the end.

Imagine when and where we will meet again?

What kind of tone and state of mind should I use to say to you: Long time no see......"

……

'Take the picture you gave

The familiar street

It's just that the picture of you is gone

We won't be able to go back to that day

Will you show up out of nowhere?

Coffee shop around the corner

I'll have a smile on my face... Looking back on the pleasantries

I'm sitting and chatting with you

How I want to meet you

Look at how you've changed lately

Don't talk about the past... Just a pleasantry

A word to you is just a word

Long time no see......'

The end of the song,

The guitar continues the melody with a mournful whine. The obscure strings trembled, like the cry of a lonely ghost.

Looking up, all the guests had tears in their eyes, the good-faced men raised their heads and let the tears flow backwards, while the girls did not hide it, lying on their seats and crying silently. At this moment, even if they have never experienced loss, they are afraid that they will have to drink the bitterness behind the words 'long time no see' in the future.

Even the cold store manager stood behind the counter with tears in his big eyes.

'Long time no see...'

In the last sentence, Ren Qian spent all the gas in his chest and abdomen, pretending to let the protagonist in the song breathe a long sigh of relief, creating a scene of his strong face and calmness, which made people can't help but have a sour nose.

Long time no see.

However, is there really such an easy time not to see?
