Chapter 67: Yaqin Performs
While expressing her heart to Xiao Fei, Chen Qingfu couldn't help but grasp Xiao Fei's palm tightly, and leaned gently on his thick and sturdy shoulders, her eyes were already faintly filled with tears......
Xiao Fei knew that Chen Qingfu loved him very much, but he didn't expect her to say such affectionate words in front of the taxi driver, and he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, but he couldn't help but answer her: because he knew very well in his heart that he only respected and admired Chen Qingfu, not "like" or "love". Although he also believed in his heart that Chen Qingfu would definitely be a good wife and mother in the future, he just didn't call when he was with her, and he didn't have that feeling of heartbeat and burning passion. Therefore, it is impossible for me to fall in love or marry her......
Therefore, when Chen Qingfu leaned on his shoulder, although Xiao Fei did not break free, he said in a tactful tone: "Xiaofu, I suggest you find a boyfriend, I don't deserve you to wait for three years." By the way, what do you think of Senior Zhang Wenqing? Just before you arrived at the teahouse, he openly said that he was pursuing you. If you think he's good, try to get along with him first, maybe as you said, you can fall in love for a long time! ”
Chen Qingfu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't have any feelings for Zhang Wenqing. I'll tell you the truth, he's a bit hypocritical and snobbish, and the city is relatively deep, which makes people a little unclear and can't guess. But one thing I can be sure of: he is a typical official fan, always thinking about getting ahead, a bit like Yu Lian, the protagonist of "Red and Black". For a person like him who is always thinking about promotion and promotion, love and marriage are a deal, or a bridge, for him.
"So my judgment is: even if Zhang Wenqing pursues me, it is not necessarily for love, maybe he doesn't like me at all, but because my father is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he thinks that if he can marry me, he can build a bridge for him to soar in his career. With someone like this, I'd rather be single for the rest of my life than fall for him. In addition, I would like to remind you: you can dislike me, but please don't try to match me with a boyfriend because of guilt or pressure and burden. It's not a comfort to me, it's a hurt – you understand what I mean? ”
Xiao Fei nodded a little ashamedly and said, "I understand, I won't talk about you finding a boyfriend when I'm with you in the future!" ”
At about half past nine, Chen Qingfu took Xiao Fei into the "Yaqin Performing Arts Bar", and found his seat and sat down under the guidance of the waiter.
This performing arts bar is not large, and the area is about the same as two basketball courts. At the front is a semi-circular stage, behind which is a wall of lights and DJ stands, on the right is a band with all kinds of instruments, and on the left is a door that leads to the waiting area for the performers at the back, through which all the actors perform on stage. In addition, some moving head lights, effects, bubble machines, flame machines, and other equipment were installed around the stage.
In the entrance hall, there are twenty or thirty tables, round and square, and the stools are arranged in a semicircle, so that each audience member can face the stage in front or slightly sideways. A wine list is placed on the table for customers to order drinks and snacks. To set the mood around, there are also hand claps and glow sticks on each table, and the audience can wave them to cheer on the performers while watching the show.
When Xiao Fei and Chen Qingfu walked into the performing arts bar, two-thirds of the tables inside were already full of customers, and the show had started for more than ten minutes. At this time, it was the performance time of a male singer, a young male singer with a thin figure and long hair and a shawl was singing Jacky Cheung's "Hair is Messy", and the audience rang with sparse applause and cheers from time to time.
After finding his seat and sitting down, Chen Qingfu asked Xiao Fei: "Red wine or beer?" Want a snack? ”
Xiao Fei knew that Chen Qingfu liked to drink some red wine, so he said: "Order two bottles of red bar, and then order a plate of spicy duck tongue, a plate of shredded squid, a plate of salt-baked chicken wings, and a plate of spicy tofu." ”
Chen Qingfu repeated his request to the waiter who ordered, Xiao Fei took out his wallet first, took out a bill of about 1,000 yuan and asked the waiter: "How much is the total amount of drinks and snacks?" ”
Chen Qingfu turned his head and said unhappily: "Okay, I'll invite you, what money do you want to pay?" You take the money back, and I pay with my phone. ”
Xiao Fei saw that Chen Qingfu seemed to be unhappy, so he had to take the money back in his wallet, not daring to rush to pay the bill.
When the waiter brought the snacks and drinks, Chen Qingfu instructed her to open the two bottles of red wine, then poured a small half glass of wine into the two red wine glasses, and began to enjoy the show while tasting wine with Xiao Fei.
At this time, a sketch choreographed by the performing arts bar itself was being performed on the stage, called "The Laughing Legend of the New White Lady". This sketch is very clumsy and vulgar, it is purely a farce cobbled together with vulgar dialects and yellow jokes, which makes Xiao Fei and Chen Qingfu frown, but there are several tables of audience around them who are amused by this sketch and can't stop laughing and applauding desperately.
Xiao Fei took a sip of the wine glass and saluted Chen Qingfu, and asked, "Xiaofu, when will the Peking Opera performance start?" It's called Yaqin, but the previous shows aren't elegant at all, but a bit cheesy, what do you think? ”
Chen Qingfu smiled and said: "Don't be impatient, the Peking Opera program will start in another twenty minutes, and it will be performed for half an hour, and there will be some singing time during the period, and then you can spend 200 yuan to order a Peking Opera song you like to listen to." As for you saying that the current show is unbearable, that's because you had too high expectations for this place before. In fact, compared to other bars and performing arts bars in the provincial capital and even those large-scale performing arts centers, this place is already relatively elegant, at least there is still half an hour of Peking Opera here, right? ”
Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and then said: "You may wonder why I know such an acting bar, in fact, the reason is very simple: the owner of this acting bar is Zhang Wenqing's distant cousin, half a year ago we had an alumni reunion, Zhang Wenqing took some of our alumni here to drink and listen to songs in the evening." I think the environment here is not bad, the key is to have Peking Opera to listen to, so occasionally when I am particularly bored at night, I will invite one or two friends to come over to play and listen to Peking Opera.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I don't really know about Peking Opera, and I don't like it very much, but because I know that you like Peking Opera, I like to come here to listen to it. And every time I come here, I spend a few hundred yuan to order two classic singing passages from "Shiro Visits His Mother" and "Empty City Strategy", which are the two passages you once sang at school. Every time I hear these two songs, I think of you, and it can be regarded as a sweet and warm memory! ”
