Chapter 46: Time Is Like a Sleepless Night (1)
The saying that you can eat as a meal is not false in any era, and when the two of them finished singing, they actually earned more than 100 yuan.
Returning the guitar and equipment to the little brother in the piano shop, An Yan rarely showed a sweet smile to a person he had just met.
Because Ye Gui and the two brought a lot of traffic at night, and they also did two businesses in the little brother's store, the little brother was also in a good mood, and he put away the guitar and said to the two of them: "Are you coming back tomorrow, I'll prepare things for you." β
An Yan straightened out the money taken out of the piano box, took out the only few 10 yuan cards and handed them to the little brother, and thanked him with a smile: "I'm not here, thank you today." Then before the little brother could react, he pulled Ye Gui out of the door.
Yes, Ye Gui originally thought that if he didn't work in the future, he could still make a fortune in this business, but the hard-earned money that he had earned overnight was sent out by the loser girl before he could cover it.
However, Ye Gui was not angry, he already knew An Yan's temperament, although he was a little girl in his heart, he was only in front of people who were very close. In other people, An Yan has always been an exemplary high-quality student, polite to others and self-disciplined to herself, such a character cultivated over the years and the attention of everyone on weekdays make An Yan a little alienated in front of everyone, and she is not willing to owe favors easily.
Ye Gui looked at the girl in front of her who was a little heroic in her eyebrows, but her whole body was a little weak, and she smiled faintly.
Maybe that's why I like girls.
In later generations, even when she was the most popular, she did not fall into the clichΓ© of fame and fortune, but adhered to her beliefs and has been concentrating on music.
Out of the door, An Yan lowered his head in front and walked slowly, carefully counting the change in his hand as he walked.
Ye Gui followed slowly behind, and after a while, he was afraid that she would bump into someone, so he walked by her side.
The two walked to the door of an ice cream shop, An Yan suddenly raised his head, then shook a handful of change in his hand, and said like a child inviting merit: "Let's go eat ice cream." β
Ye Gui smiled dotingly, and then teased: "Okay, you are a rich man, you are in charge today." β
An Yan should be in a good mood now, and after being complained about it, he didn't look at it coldly, but grinned, and then walked to the door of the ice cream shop.
At this time, there were no chain ice cream parlors in later generations, and the snacks in the small town were relatively simple, even in the most central ice cream spot, there were only a few simple flavors and then dug into a small round cardboard box.
An Yan asked for a strawberry-flavored ice cream, and then asked Ye Gui for a chocolate-flavored one.
Ye Gui was puzzled, she clearly remembered that this girl had to buy chocolates when she bought cones on the street when she was a child, why did she buy strawberry ice cream, but asked for a chocolate for herself.
"Don't you like chocolate now?" There were no seats in the shop, so the two of them finished buying ice cream and continued to walk along the street, ready to find a place to rest and rest, Ye Gui pushed the cart in one hand and the ice cream box in the other, and asked puzzledly.
An Yan took a bite of the ice cream in his hand, and the cold taste immediately quenched the thirst in his throat caused by singing.
Ye Gui saw An Yan eat so quickly, and thought that she would have to rely on her throat to eat in the future, so she reminded: "Just finished using your throat, don't eat too fast if it's cold, it's not good for your throat." β
An Yan listened to Ye Gui's words, her beautiful eyebrows bent again, and she replied with a smile: "Got it, Mr. Protective Shield." But the movements in his hands did not stop, and he took a small spoon and scooped a large piece from the ice cream box in Ye Gui's hand, and then answered Ye Gui's previous question: "Because those who eat chocolate will gain weight, so I can eat less when I buy you chocolate-flavored ones." β
Ye Gui watched An Yan swallow a large piece of ice cream in the spoon after saying this, and felt helpless for a while, so that we can't wait for us to find a place to rest, you have to finish eating two boxes.
The two ate and walked together, and finally found a seat in a central park next to the pedestrian street.
Ye Gui stopped the car, and then sat on the stone bench that An Yan had carefully wiped, and when he sat down, he took a look, okay, most of the ice cream in his hand was really gone.
Ye Gui turned his head and looked at it coldly with An Yan's usual expression, not that he was reluctant to give up this bit of ice cream, but he was worried that the girl would not be able to stand it after eating too much cold at once.
An Yan next to him was still concentrating on eating ice cream, and when he saw Ye Gui looking over, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the ice cream box in Ye Gui's hand, and smiled weakly.
"Hee-hee, I didn't pay attention to it."
Looking at An Yan's pretending to be pitiful eyes, Ye Gui lost his temper, so he only said to eat less, and go back carefully, not only his throat hurts, but he also has a stomachache.
The girl grinned again, taking Ye Gui's words as wind in her ears at all, and still eating the ice cream in her hand one bite at a time.
Ye Gui looked at An Yan's satisfied expression at this time, and suddenly felt that his life was so magical.
An Yan, who accompanied him in his childhood when he was a child, An Yan who was watched by later generations, countless An Yan who was a little cold in school, and An Yan who was so satisfied with eating ice cream at this time.
These impressions flashed through my mind one by one.
Ye Gui suddenly found that the excitement and happiness brought to him by the 120,000 during the day was not so good, and An Yan had a simple expression.
"Do you remember when you were a kid you said you were going to take me to ice cream, and then you stole money from home and got caught and beaten up." When he was sighing, he suddenly heard An Yan speak.
Ye Gui looked at the delicate side face next to him, thought for a while and said, "I have been beaten many times because of you, and I have forgotten everything many times, but I am quite impressed by the ice cream this time." It wasn't that your mom wouldn't let you eat more ice cream, so you came to my class and asked me to take you to ice cream. You said that I was stupid, I will take you with me, I asked the family directly if it was over if it was over, why steal the money. As a result, he was beaten for a few dollars. β
The more Ye Gui said, the more he felt that his IQ was limited back then, would he be rejected if he asked his family for money to eat ice cream, and he had to do such a brainless thing.
An Yan smiled, thinking that because you were too shy to tell your family to go out to eat ice cream with yourself at that time, you secretly went home to steal money, and then sighed: "Yes, you were quite stupid at that time." β
Ye Gui rubbed his nose and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, it's good for you to say this to me, it wasn't you who ran to our class by yourself and asked me to take you there." β
"Hee-hee, then you can refuse."
Ye Gui looked at An Yan's happy appearance, sighed and said, "Alas, I am your protective shield, there is no way." β
An Yan didn't speak, silently glanced at Ye Gui, and then looked into the distance. I thought to myself, that's why when other boys in the class want to invite me to ice cream, I'll ask you to take me there, stupid, I still think it's because my family won't let me go to you.
The girl sat quietly, like a beautiful landscape, Ye Gui felt the fragrance coming from her side, and also looked up.
In the park are people walking at night, Ye Gui saw a pair of grandparents walking slowly next to him, the old lady was in better health, walking in front, looking back at the old man who fell behind him from time to time, seeing that the old man was still following him peacefully, not looking at other old ladies, so he continued to turn around and walk.
An Yan also saw the pair of old men, and then turned his head and smiled at Ye Gui with a tacit understanding.
The two did not speak, quietly enjoying the feeling of stability that had been away for many years.
After a while, An Yan suddenly sighed and said, "Ye Gui, do you say that we can still meet after the college entrance examination?" β
Ye Gui knew that An Yan's family planned to let her study music, and she also passed the professional courses of well-known domestic conservatories early, and the rest of the cultural courses were simply pediatric for An Yan, who was often absent from school and could always be admitted to the top of the grade.
And Ye Gui knew at this time that the reason why An Yan asked this sentence was because the school in China was just her guaranteed retreat, and her family's real plan was actually to send her abroad for further study.
In their previous lives, the two of them went farther and farther apart, and after being reborn, Ye Gui certainly didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past again, so he asked, "What does your family think of you going abroad." β
An Yan thought for a while and said slowly: "My mother hopes that I can study abroad, she said that the cultivation of music quality in China is still poor, and if I want to be a successful singer, it is not enough to learn to sing, I need to fully integrate into music to become a real singer." β
An Yan's mother, Li Sujing, used to be a dancer in the Provincial Art Troupe, so her views in this regard are a little more advanced than ordinary people in this era, and a few years later, after An Yan returned to China, the facts proved that Li Sujing was right.
Later, An Yan quickly became popular with the slight professionalism and unique singing skills of female musicians in the mainland at that time, and was appreciated by famous composers at that time, all thanks to her study abroad.
Although the study abroad did make An Yan gain a lot, but at the same time made her lose a lot, Ye Gui vaguely speculated that the huge pressure of studying and living abroad was the original origin of An Yan's depression based on the rumors of later generations.
Of course, it was impossible for Ye Gui to let An Yan leave now, so he asked, "What about uncle, what does he think?" β
"He didn't really want me to go abroad to study music, but he wanted me to go to a regular school in China to study at university." An Yan thought for a while and said.
By the way, this is the entry point that Ye Gui is looking for.
An Yan's mother studied art, so she hopes that her daughter can go far on the road of art, but for An Yan's father, the man who manages a thousand-person factory will certainly not let his daughter worry about her future life. So in his thoughts, he hopes that An Yan will treat music as a hobby rather than a career.
The original trajectory, An Yan's father still didn't convince her mother, so An Yan finally chose to go abroad.
"Actually, you don't need to go abroad to study music, and some famous masters in China are also very qualified." Ye Gui said: "If you can learn from these people, wouldn't you be able to stay in China." β
The cultivation of music quality in China is not as good as that in foreign countries, that is, for ordinary students, many professional teachers in China are not weak in terms of foundation, but the domestic resources are limited, which is destined to them not have so much energy to teach students little by little.
"What do you mean?" An Yan's eyes lit up, and he paused and darkened: "How easy is it to find a professional master to teach me alone." β
