Chapter Forty-Six: The Shop on the Corner, Long Time No See (Part II)
"If life ends here, without me from now on, I will find an angel to love you for me......"
When the girl in the trench coat walked to the side of "long time no see", she happened to hear these words, and she, like the man in black, also stopped on the spot. ~
However, in just a few minutes, a song was sung, and the two men and women, who had nothing to do with each other, still stood still, as if waiting for the tape to dance, but to their disappointment, the next song was not the sound they expected, although the singer's voice and song melody were more familiar.
Cao Zijian, "Song of Roselle".
The girl in the trench coat walked to the door of the café and looked up at the billboard that said "Long time no see", not knowing what she was thinking.
The atmosphere in the shop seems to be even more lively.
"Could it really be Cao Zijian?"
The girl wanted to raise her hand and knock on the door, but she hesitated for a while, and she still couldn't make up her mind.
"Do you want to go in too?" The man in black came over at some point and asked in a low voice.
The girl turned her head to look at the man in black, her expression was slightly wary, and said, "My friend has a birthday today, but I'm late." ”
The man in black nodded, seeing that the girl was defensive of herself, she didn't ask anything more, walked to the wall of the store, leaned on it gently, and looked quite lonely.
The girl in the trench coat took out her mobile phone from her pocket and began to want to call, but then gave up and lowered her head to make up text messages.
In the store, Cao Zijian's "Song of Luoshen" had been sung, and he was about to step down, when the guests below, including one of the hosts, Huang Li, were shouting for him to continue.
Cao Zijian turned around with a smile, wanting to explain to everyone, when he suddenly heard a rapid drum beat, and then the drummer with an inch head and a silver chain stood up and said with a disgusted face: "Cao Zijian, it's time to change." ”
Cao Zijian didn't care either, and made an OK gesture to the drummer, saying, "I'll explain." Then he walked to the microphone and said, "In addition to celebrating Mr. Jiang Jianzhong's birthday with you today, I also want to see Mr. Ning Qingzhou's new song, and I believe everyone is looking forward to it as much as I do." ”
Of course everyone is not looking forward to it, Jiang Hanxue, Cao Yuqin, Jiang Jianzhong, Chen Qianfan, Huang Li They are even very worried, if they only sing "Angel Wings", it will be fine, after all, this song has been sung by Cao Xian, so everyone is familiar with it, but now let Ning Qingzhou sing a new song, and it will be after Cao Zijian...... I really don't know the bottom of my heart.
Cao Yuqin reached out to hold Jiang Hanxue's hand and asked, "Has he ever sung that new song to you?" ”
Jiang Hanxue shook her head and said, "No, I forgot to urge him too." ”
Cao Yuqin thought about it, as if she had made a decision, and said in a resolute tone: "If those people dare to go too far, I will directly turn my face and deny people, give them an eviction order, and no one will want to spread wild in my territory." ”
The two girls' hands were clenched tightly, but they still couldn't help but be nervous. It stands to reason that this is not a big deal, but between real good friends, it is always like this, you can lose face in front of each other at will, but you must not lose face in front of yourself in front of outsiders, and there is humiliation.
Ning Qingzhou held the guitar and whispered something to the legendary keyboardist Wang Zhongxuan, Wang Zhongxuan would ask for a while, nod for a while, and finally the two agreed, Wang Zhongxuan habitually made a thumbs up gesture, indicating that there was no problem.
Ning Qingzhou walked to the microphone with the guitar in his arms and said to everyone: "The following song is a song of the same name specially sung for our 'Long Time No See' café, I hope you can like it." ”
After Cao Zijian stepped down, the guests below put away their mobile phones, and only Jiang Hanxue's colleague, out of another gossip mentality, or out of politeness, was still holding his mobile phone to take pictures.
Ning Qingzhou turned around and nodded to Wang Zhongxuan, and then a simple and soothing piano prelude sounded, and the stream-like melody lasted for about fifteen seconds, and Ning Qingzhou's baritone bass, which was rated as "highly recognizable" by Cao Xian, sounded hoarsely and faintly:
I came to your city
Walk the way you came
Imagine life without me
How lonely you are
……
As soon as Ning Qingzhou said these few words, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly changed, and everyone's expressions became serious, and good songs and scum songs were always clear at a glance.
"That's good." Huang Li hurriedly turned his head and said a word to Jiang Hanxue and Cao Xueqin, and both of them nodded in agreement.
Take the photo 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
……
By the time the song was sung, the tone of the good song had been completely set, and the person who had put away his mobile phone before took out his mobile phone again and wanted to record the song.
As for the few people in the Stray Cat Band, except for Wang Zhongxuan, Li Haoran, Hou Lei, and Ye Xuhuan, who were helping Ning Qingzhou with the soundtrack, the expressions on the faces of the three people were very strange, with some "unexpected" meanings.
Cao Zijian, who was standing with Cao Xian, kept smiling and nodding until he turned his head and saw his sister with an inexplicably sad face, and he was busy smiling.
You won't show up out of nowhere
Coffee shop around the corner
I'll wave with a smile on my face
I'm sitting and chatting with you
How I want to meet you
Look at how you've changed lately
No longer say that it was just a greeting in the past
A word to you is just a word
Long time no see
……
The chorus that came slowly seemed to be tepid, but it was sung by Ning Qingzhou muttering and narrating, and it had a shocking power that went straight to people's hearts.
When Cao Xian heard this, she was moved to suppress her heart for a long time, and the tears that she couldn't suppress anymore fell in a stream, and then she turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, stretched out her hand to open the curtain, and just saw the man in black standing outside, at this time, the man in black pressed one hand on the glass, and happened to be looking inside.
The two met unexpectedly, standing opposite each other through the window.
Take the photo 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
……
Ning Qingzhou's song continued, he didn't know that he was annotating a love-hate encounter at this time, until the second time he sang "Will you suddenly appear in the coffee shop on the corner", Cao Xian slowly closed the curtains, as if to separate the man in black from another world, and then she slowly squatted down, hid her face with her hands, and cried silently.
At this time, the girl in the trench coat at the door of "Long Time No See" was also dazed, and stood stupidly for a while, then turned around and left, as if she had never appeared.
You won't show up out of nowhere
Coffee shop around the corner
I'll wave with a smile on my face
I'm sitting and chatting with you
How I want to meet you
Look at how you've changed lately
No longer say that it was just a greeting in the past
A word to you is just a word
Long time no see
……
The song is tangled and slowly falls, but there are some greetings, and it is difficult to speak after all.
