Chapter 204: The Wind of Coconut Island
"Coconut Island Style" coffee house, elegant environment, trendy style. You can not only taste wine, tea and coffee, but also listen to singing and dancing. If you are lucky, you can also take photos with the popular singers and interact on the same stage, which is the favorite pastime of the children of the rich people of Binyang. Xu Wenlong and Liang Shiqi walked into the hall side by side, found an empty table and sat down.
The hall is dimly lit and romantic. A young artist with long hair and a shawl is playing Strauss's piano piece on the stage, the Blue Danube. The sound of the piano is melodious and soothing, like a circle of gentle blue waves, rippling to every corner of the hall. It makes people listen to it and be fascinated by it, and evokes the infinite warmth of the heart.
A black waiter walked over and asked politely in stiff Mandarin, "What do you want to drink?" β
"A cup of vanilla coffee, two Porphy beers." Liang Shiqi replied first.
"Okay, you wait." The black waiter smiled slightly, revealing a row of white, neat teeth.
Xu Wenlong entered a high-end consumption place for the first time, and couldn't help but look at everything around him with fresh and curious eyes.
Seeing this, Liang Shiqi tilted her head and said to him mischievously: "Don't worry, no one will take photos here, and no one will upload the photos on Twitter." β
"What? Do you know that, too? Xu Wenlong retracted his wandering gaze, looked at her with an embarrassed expression and asked, "I don't know what that person thinks, and unfounded things can be spread on the Internet casually." β
"Maybe it's a little girl living in a fairy tale world, amorous and imaginative!" Liang Shiqi said disapprerovingly, "Fortunately, it is not a tabloid reporter who is pervasive and maliciously distorts the facts. Otherwise, it would be miserable! But ......"
"But what?" Xu Wenlong asked puzzled.
Liang Shiqi smiled mysteriously at him and did not answer.
Xu Wenlong wanted to ask again, but he didn't want a thunderous applause in the hall. At the end of the song, the young artist was getting up and bending down to thank the audience. So he didn't bother to ask more, and applauded softly with everyone.
"One more, one more song......" The audience clapped and kept shouting, and a pure girl even ran to the young artist with a bouquet of flowers.
The young artist took the flowers and bent down again to thank the audience. Finally, he sat back down at the piano with a strong cry, slid his slender and dexterous hands, and played a string of melodious music like clouds and water......
"My favorite thing to listen to is piano music." Liang Shiqi sipped fragrant coffee and said softly.
"Oh? Why? Xu Wenlong asked with interest.
"Not only because of its sound quality, soft and crisp, like a mountain spring flowing, like a jade bead falling on a plate. Moreover, because the music played by it is like a birdsong in the hollow valley when it is gentle, it is euphemistic and smart, which makes people feel happy; When agitated, it is like a galloping horse, majestic and majestic, making people's blood surge......"
"That's just as well!" Xu Wenlong agreed, "It's just that I rarely listen to piano music, including folk instrumental music, probably because I am relatively lacking in knowledge in this area." You know that our rural school hardly takes music lessons because of the conditions. Even if it happens occasionally, it's just to teach us to sing one or two old-fashioned children's songs. β
"Then sing me a clichΓ© nursery rhyme." Liang Shiqi's eyes lit up, clapped her hands and said with great interest,,γ
"Don't, don't!" Xu Wenlong hurriedly shook his hand and excused himself, "With my gong-like voice and my incomplete singing voice, don't just stun you to the ground." β
"Is that an exaggeration?" Liang Shiqi looked at Xu Wenlong with suspicion, "But forget it today, there are so many people present." Next time, I'll have to listen to your gong-like singing, even if it stuns me. β
"No, let's talk about it later." Xu Wenlong was relieved to see that she didn't continue to force.
"Remember what you said, and don't regret it then." Liang Shiqi smiled happily.
The two of them listened to soft music and talked heartily, forgetting the time that had passed quietly......
"Ah Qi, is that you? Why are you here too? This is an unprecedented rarity! At some point, a tall and thin but handsome young man suddenly stopped at Liang Shiqi and pointed at her with an incredible look and exclaimed. And several trendy and beautiful men and women who followed closely behind the young man also looked at Liang Shiqi with surprised and envious eyes.
Liang Shiqi looked back, quickly stood up and said, "Jiajun, it's you." I really don't like to come to a place like this, though...... But today...... By the way, why did you come so late? β
"It's me, it's me, I've just had dinner with a few friends, and I've been making a fuss until now. Don't you want to come here and sit down and have a drink to sober up. The young man who called the family army hurriedly replied. His face was flushed, his eyes were shining, and he didn't know if he had drunk too much wine or was overexcited because he saw Liang Shiqi.
"In that case, then you can please." Liang Shiqi replied politely.
"Otherwise," Jia Jun's eyes rolled, and he immediately said to Liang Shiqi with a smile on his face, "Let's go find a box, let's get together and chat, isn't it good?" Anyway, we haven't seen each other in a long time. I heard that you have just returned from the United States, and I visited your house a few days ago to look for you, but unfortunately I can't see you every time. β
"I'm sorry, I'm busy this time." Liang Shiqi said apologetically, "Also, I don't want the box, because I still have friends." β
"Oh?" Jia Jun glanced at Xu Wenlong with hostile eyes, and asked with a frown, "This is ......?"
"This is Aaron, a friend I've known for a long time." Liang Shiqi pointed at Xu Wenlong and introduced, "Ah Long, this is Chairman Qi of Hongyuan Group. β
"Chairman Qi? Could it be ......" Xu Wenlong sighed in his heart, stretched out his hand and smiled and said to Qi Jiajun, "Chairman Qi, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
Qi Jiajun glanced at Xu Wenlong coldly, shook his hand symbolically, and then turned his head and asked Liang Shiqi impatiently: "Ah Long?" What for? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? β
"You didn't ask me, how could I mention him for no reason?" Liang Shiqi smiled, looked at Xu Wenlong with warm eyes and said, "Ah Long, you come to tell him what you do." β
When Xu Wenlong heard this, he generously introduced himself: "I am a retired soldier and I have no special skills. I came to Binyang last year, and I started to be a guy who served food and ran the hall, and later found a club as a security guard......"
"Oh? Not bad, not bad......" Qi Jiajun couldn't help but praise sincerely, and couldn't help but let out a long breath in his heart, a trace of disdain rose on his face, and his eyes became even more contemptuous and contemptuous. He left Xu Wenlong, and said to Liang Shiqi if no one was around, "Let's go find a better box, it's so cold and tasteless here." Don't you like foie gras? And Kobe steak! Let's go, let's go to the box to eat, and by the way, we will have a few bottles of 'Balier' red wine, and it will be a supper. β
"'Balier' wine?" Xu Wenlong blurted out, "Isn't that tens of thousands of bottles?" β
"Hehehe......" Several silent red men and green women couldn't help but squeeze their eyebrows and laugh, and their admiration for Xu Wenlong disappeared without a trace, replaced by contempt and mockery on their faces.
Qi Jiajun was very satisfied with this effect, he waved his hand to those men and women, waved his hand and said to Xu Wenlong complacently: "Not much, not much, only 661 bottles, do you think it is very expensive?" β
"Uh, hehehe......" Xu Wenlong smiled awkwardly, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing this, Liang Shiqi immediately stretched out her slender jade hand, hugged Xu Wenlong's waist, and said to Qi Jiajun with a birdly look: "Thank you for your kindness." It's just that I ate at Aaron's house tonight, and I was well fed, and now I don't want to eat anything. β
"Really? You'll still ...... You'll still be at his house...... That...... Then let's go eat some fruit and drink some drinks together. Qi Jiajun was jealous, puffing out a pair of vicious eyes and kept aiming at Xu Wenlong. He didn't understand what kind of earth-shattering charm that poor sour boy had, provoking Miss Liang, who had always rejected people thousands of miles away, would be so obedient, delicate and gentle to him.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, if nothing else, you can go and have fun by yourself, and leave us alone." Liang Shiqi clinged to Xu Wenlong more and more, smiled and unceremoniously issued an order to evict customers. This made Xu Wenlong feel a little happy and comforted in addition to being embarrassed.
"Alright then, I'm leaving." Qi Jiajun was annoyed and jealous, but he didn't have the slightest choice, so he had to say sadly, "We are in the booth not far in front, if you have any needs, please assign me at any time!" β
"Thank you, bye!" Liang Shiqi shook her left hand lightly, and smiled goodbye to him without saying anything.
"Bye!" The Qi family's military stabbed Xu Wenlong with a knife-like gaze, beckoned the young man and woman who were showing off a dry of flowers, and walked to a table not far away with infinite loneliness and jealousy......
