Chapter 27: The Outline of the Night
Time ticked by minute by second, and there was a faint intoxication in the air.
I don't know how I went back to the private room with Chen Yiyao, and I don't know how I drank the rest of Moutai cup by cup, but Ah B seemed to go out to make a phone call in the middle, and after a while, he came in with two bottles of liquor and a case of beer.
I didn't sing a single song before she came, but since she came, I've been singing one song after another. A few old classmates surrounded Chen Yiyao and asked this and that, although I was singing, my ears were pricked up, listening to their gossip about the things over the years.
Chen Yiyao has been nesting in the sofa, sipping a beer, occasionally staggering his eyes with me, and then moving away at will. But I know that she is watching me all the time, completely transparent to me, and there is nothing to hide. This feeling is very strange, sitting in front of the woman I first loved, I was like a child, I didn't dare to say love anymore, or even dare to speak, but in my heart I would rather go on like this.
"That is the purest love in my life, as if in the warm light, warm roots, warm sprouts, warm growth. Even if we will grow old one day, even if the hands dancing on the keys will stop, even if the beautiful music will eventually stop, but the memory will not pass, it is in our hearts, a dusty little box, even if only a small crack is exposed, the warmth of those jumps will be overwhelmingly pierced into the heart, forever. ”
Before I got married to Xia Yun, I decided to burn the letter that I had written to Chen Yiyao but did not send it, Ah B saw the text on the letter, and unexpectedly, he did not pout and laugh at me, but silently closed his eyes. We drank a lot of wine that time, and Ah B didn't say a word all night, just sat on the balcony and looked out the window at the night sky, and when I looked away from the stars in the sky, I noticed that his face was full of tears, and I knew that there was a soft scar deep in his seemingly cynical strong heart.
That scar is related to the little sheep.
Chen Yiyao and I didn't talk much throughout the night, it felt like a child playing a game, competing with each other to see who could hold back the most. I was singing all night, and near midnight, she finally ordered a song and sang softly.
"Like a drizzle of rain fell on my heart
It felt so mysterious
I can't help but look up at you
And you don't show a trace
Although it is not silent, it is hard to forget
That's your eyes, bright and beautiful
Ah~ I am full of joy in the world of love"
Her lazy and beautiful singing voice made me deeply intoxicated, and what made my heart flutter even more was that she sang this song, which corresponded to my mood at the moment.
Liu Xue sat next to me, she had already drunk a lot, there was a lot of drunkenness in her eyebrows and eyes, and when she spoke, her tongue was a little curled: "Lu Yanchen, I think Chen Yiyao's song is sung to you." ”
Her voice was a little slurred, and I saw that her hand holding the cup was trembling a little, so I reached over to help her put the cup back on the table: "You drank too much, Liu Xue." ”
"What's more, I can still drink two bottles." She blocked my hand and took the beer bottle next to her, "Here, let's have a toast." ”
The second song was ordered by Chen Yiyao, she glanced at us, and just saw Liu Xue holding my arm and toasting me. I quietly pulled my arm out of her arms and moved it to the side, the corners of Chen Yiyao's mouth turned up, turned around, and began to sing.
"Don't drink it, Liu Xue." Someone next to her had already begun to persuade her, "It's time to go back, it's midnight." ”
"I don't want to go back, I'm annoyed when I see my husband." Liu Xue tried to shake off the people next to her, but she was weak and had no strength, "How good it is to drink and sing here, Lu Yanchen, you say, are you very happy to see Chen Yiyao?" ”
"You've drunk too much." Just when someone was leaving, Ah B greeted and came over to set Liu Xue up, "Come on, I'll send you home, who else is strict at home and wants to go back?" Several people responded, and those who didn't plan to leave also got up when they saw that most of them were leaving.
Before leaving the private room, Ah B gave me a meaningful look.
The door closed, and the private room suddenly became very quiet, and only Chen Yiyao and I were left.
"It's finally all gone." I let out a long sigh of relief and half-lay myself on the couch.
She sat down next to me, with a smile in her eyes, and she looked at me for a few seconds, and I was looking at her, and after a while, she said, "The surname is Lu, you haven't changed at all." ”
I felt a pang in my heart, in this world, only she called me that.
I suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in my heart.
I'm sitting here, but we're far, far away.
She didn't know what was churning in my heart at the moment, she didn't know how much I longed to sit by her side all the time, and she didn't know how ashamed I was in front of her now.
"How have you been abroad all these years?" After a moment of silence, I asked.
"Everything else is fine, just want to eat crayfish, I want to dream about it." She smiled, "I still want to sing, but foreigners rarely go to KTV, they only like to go to bars and open Pa."
ty……”
"Well, you can sing all night if you want, and I'll be with you......" I said.
"The family won't urge you to go back?" She used a vague word, but I understood what she meant.
"I'm free." I also replied with an ambiguous word, but the attitude was already laid out.
She laughed.
