Volume 2 Piano Competition Chapter 97 Are Birds Really Free?
Saturday is a Saturday and Sunday, but on this day, many people can rest at home, but many people are still busy working.
In the morning, Duan Zilian worked in the café and played beautiful tunes.
At ten o'clock, when it was time to rest, Duan Zilian stopped to rest for a while.
"The last song you played, was it "Freedom", "Freedom"?" In a seat next to Duan Zilian, Zheng Yulong leisurely drank fragrant and mellow coffee and asked Duan Zilian a question.
Duan Zilian nodded: "Well, yes, you also know this tune?" ”
Zheng Yulong put down the coffee in his hand: "You know a little bit, I once heard it on the Internet, and this is also a very beautiful song." By the way, when it comes to freedom, what do you think is the most free? ”
"Well...... this"
Although I don't know why Zheng Yulong suddenly asked this question, Duan Zilian still thought for a while: "It should be birds, they can fly freely in the vast sky, and they can rely on their wings to cross mountains, seas, and rivers, which is very enviable." So in many cases, birds are seen as a symbol of freedom. ”
Zheng Yulong sighed: "Yes, people think that birds are free, but in fact, are birds really free?" ”
"Huh?" Duan Zilian was puzzled and looked at Zheng Yulong suspiciously.
Smiling slightly, Zheng Yulong said calmly: "When you walk out of the house, you will feel the vastness of this world; When you travel through space, you will feel the vastness of the universe and discover your own insignificance. ”
"The reason why we people think that birds are free is because birds can fly freely in the sky, unrestrained, but in fact, birds also struggle to survive and reproduce, just as we humans will work hard for life and family."
"So, there has never been real freedom, even if it's a bird, it's just like us, it's trapped in this world, trying to survive. Flying is just for birds to hunt and survive, and it is human beings who forcibly instilled the dream of freedom into the birds. ”
Listening to Zheng Yulong's words, Duan Zilian couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
"Alright, it's getting late, it's time for me to go back." Zheng Yulong looked at the time, stood up, went to the counter to pay the bill, and then left the café.
Looking at the back of Zheng Yulong leaving, his intuition told Duan Zilian that what Zheng Yulong just said was not just as simple as it sounded on the surface, but also seemed to have a deeper meaning.
However, Duan Zilian couldn't understand what the deeper meaning of this was, so he simply didn't think about it.
When the break was over, Duan Zipian shook his hand, moved his fingers, and continued to work.
The quiet day passed quickly.
The next day, it was Sunday, Duan Zilian didn't have to go to work, according to the custom, he went to the hospital to visit Zhong Yi in the morning, and rested at home with nothing to do at noon and afternoon.
At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Duan Zilian put on his shoes and prepared to go out.
"You're going out?" Seeing that Duan Zilian looked like she was about to go out, Luo Xinyan, who was watching TV with Luo Lingling in the living room, asked curiously, looking at Duan Zilian's appearance, it didn't look like she was going to buy groceries at all.
"Well, yes, I'm going to invite a couple of colleagues from the café to dinner because of something." There's nothing to hide, Duan Zilian admitted it directly.
"Colleague? Waiter at the café where you work? I remember you said they were all girls. Luo Xinyan looked at Duan Zilian with some suspicion.
Luo Lingling also turned her head and said to Duan Zipian: "You invite them to dinner, do you have a good relationship with them?" ”
Duan Zi scratched his head: "It's just an ordinary friendship." They are all juniors and seniors, and they take good care of me on weekdays. By the way, are you going? It's also more lively. ”
As soon as Duan Zilian's words fell, Luo Lingling directly refused indifferently: "Don't go." ”
"Then I'm not going either." Luo Lingling didn't go, and Luo Xinyan naturally didn't go either.
Seeing this, Duan Zilian did not force it: "Okay then." Then I'm out of the house, trying not to come back too late. ”
After speaking, Duan Zilian went out.
Soon after Duan Zilian went out, Luo Xinyan stood up: "It's six o'clock when I'm ready, I'll go grocery shopping." Lingling, what do you want to eat tonight? ”
Luo Lingling thought for a while: "I want to eat yam pork rib soup and braised pork." ”
"Hmm. Then you wait at home, I'll be back soon. Luo Xinyan nodded, took her mobile phone and wallet, and went out.
Luo Ling's face was expressionless, and she listened to the voice on the TV with an indifferent expression.
……
At the appointed time, Duan Zilian came to the designated place.
It's a food court in the city, and although it's winter, it's almost evening.
When Duan Zilian came here, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was close to evening, and the sky had already begun to darken.
On the food court, a variety of food stalls have been set up, and the stall owners have already started their work, gradually becoming lively, and the rich fragrance wafts around, and when you walk inside, you don't seem to feel the cold breath of winter.
When he came to the specific designated place, Duan Zilian didn't see a figure, so he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Qian Meng.
"Duan Zilian: I've arrived, have you arrived?"
More than ten seconds later, the phone vibrated a little, and it was Qian Meng who replied to the message.
"Qian Meng: I'm sorry, you wait a little longer, we are stuck in traffic here, and it may take more than ten or twenty minutes to get there. (Sorry. JPG)』
"Duan Zi Lian: It's okay."
After ending this brief exchange of information with Qian Meng, Duan Zilian put the phone back in his pocket and waited idly in place.
The food court is crowded with groups of boys and girls, young couples in pairs, young office workers, and couples with children......
In short, it was very lively.
In the process of waiting, Duan Zipian was bored, so he simply took out his mobile phone, watched videos, passed the time, and looked at his various data on various video platforms by the way.
Speaking of which, because Xu Ying shared the video of herself being the up master at station B and publishing the piano performance to the class group and space, Duan Zilian can clearly see that the number of views and various data of her video on station B have increased.
Before I knew it, almost twenty minutes had passed.
By this time, it was already getting darker.
Feeling that someone on the shoulder was suddenly patted from behind, Duan Zilian turned around and saw Qian Meng, Bai Yan and Xu Feiqi all standing in front of him.
It was Qian Meng who patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry, we're late, I didn't expect to encounter a traffic jam, so you have to wait for a long time." Qian Meng smiled embarrassedly and apologized to Duan Zilian, and Bai Yan and Xu Feiqi also cast apologetic glances at Duan Zilian.
"It's okay, it's only about twenty minutes anyway, and it's not very long." Duan Zilian put the phone back in his pocket, but he didn't take it to heart.
"Now that everyone is here, what are we going to eat? Pity, do you have any comments? Bai Yan looked at the food stalls in the square and the food shops around her, although she decided to come here to eat, but she had not yet decided what to eat.
"I'm free." Duan Zi shrugged his shoulders pitifully, not wanting to express his opinion for the time being.
"It's your treat tonight, or it's up to you to decide what you're going to eat tonight." Xu Feiqi said as she took off her see-through cotton hat, but seemed to feel that the weather was a little cold, so she put the hat back on.
"It's better for you to choose, just don't bankrupt me." Looking at the food stalls in the square and the food shops around him, Duan Zilian suddenly made a difficult choice.
"Hey, don't push around here. I didn't eat anything at noon for tonight's big meal, and I'm hungry, so let's decide what to eat. Qian Meng was a little impatient.
Bai Yan looked around again and stretched out her hand to point in a direction: "There's a self-service barbecue restaurant over there, why don't we go there and eat barbecue." ”
"Yes, yes." Qian Meng immediately agreed.
"Huh? Going for a barbecue? The barbecue is so greasy, I've been losing weight recently......" When I heard that I was going to eat barbecue, Xu Feiqi was a little unhappy.
"What kind of fat to lose? Feifei, you're not fat, let's go, let's go. Even if you get fat, I won't dislike you. ”
"It's just, think about the exhilarating feeling of eating meat...... No, I can't help it, anyway, it's decided to come down, Feifei, you have to go if you don't go. ”
"Okay, okay, I can't help it."
"Let's have a pre-dinner exercise and see who's the last one to go to that barbecue."
After saying that, the three of you pushed me to run forward, and the lively laughter of girls rose on the street.
Seeing this scene, Duan Zi shrugged his shoulders and followed.
Unsurprisingly, Duan Zilian was the last to go to the barbecue restaurant.
When he got there, Qian Meng and the three of them had already chosen a four-seater seat and were taking off their coats outside, because there was air conditioning in the store, and if they didn't take off their coats, they would feel quite hot.
Seeing that Duan Zilian was coming, Qian Meng urged him to come over quickly, let him sit in his position, and help them look at their clothes, while they happily went to the ingredients to choose the ingredients.
Duan Zilian sat in the vacant position, looking down at his phone, but he was not in a hurry to choose the ingredients.
Since the air conditioner was turned on in the store, in less than half a minute, Duan Zilian felt hot and took off her coat.
After a while, Qian Meng and the three of them came back one after another, and among the ingredients they brought back, there were basically no vegetables, all of them were meat.
In addition to this, there are also some tapas such as fruit and egg tarts.
"Alright, pity, you can also pick what you want to eat." Qian Meng patted Duan Zilian's shoulder.
"Oh." In response, Duan Zipian got up and chose the ingredients he wanted to eat, of course, the choice was basically meat.
After all, going to a barbecue restaurant and not eating meat is no different from taking off your pants and putting P.
