Chapter 43: The Burning Rose
Entering the No. 6 box of "Moon Half Bend", Sister Wang and several people had already taken their seats, ordered some snacks, melon seeds and peanuts to taste and chat there.
It turned out that Sister Wang not only asked the girl to come together.
Yinglong felt a little sorry to see that everyone had already arrived.
After entering the box, he was busy greeting everyone: "Sister Wang, I'm sorry, I'm late!" ”
"Yinglong, you're finally here, come here, this is Xia Yuxin, let's get to know each other!"
When Sister Wang saw Yinglong coming, she quickly stood up, pulled a young girl sitting quietly on the sofa, and introduced her: "This is the Yinglong I said, Yuxin, you can get to know each other." ”
"Xia Yuxin, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, please sit casually!"
When Yinglong saw that the girl was turning her head to look at him, he politely reached over and was about to shake hands with her.
When the girl saw Yinglong's outstretched hand, she also stood up, slowly stretched out her hand, and said with a little shyness: "Hello! Yinglong, long admired the name! ”
Xia Yuxin smiled and said softly.
"Hello, Yuxin, please sit casually, let's order songs together!"
Yinglong stretched out his hand and half-pulled Yuxin's delicate fingers and shook it like a dragonfly, then stretched out his arm and pointed to the sofa, motioning for everyone to sit and sing together.
Then Yinglong sat down next to Yu Xin, handed her the microphone, and asked Yu Xin to sing a song.
Soon everyone ordered the song, and the accompaniment music of "Listening to the Sea" slowly sounded. Yu Xin slowly picked up the microphone and put it to her lips and sang: "Write to tell me what color the sea is today." The sea that accompanies you every night, what is the mood. Gray is not to say, blue is melancholy...... Listen, the sound of the sea crying--, sighing who is broken again......"
Yu Xin's singing voice was sweet and pleasant, with a melancholy mood of sea blue, and the aftermath lingered gently in the hall, and everyone listened quietly on the side, and couldn't help but applaud secretly.
Yinglong quietly looked at Xia Yuxin while she was staring at the big screen.
Xia Yuxin's chestnut hair, which hung down like a waterfall, covered one side of her temples, and the other side was delicately tucked behind her ears, flowing down gracefully, and resting on her white shoulders.
The eyes flickering on the fair-skinned and lovely goose egg face seemed to be twinkling with stars in the soft light, and the cigarette eyebrows on the forehead were picturesque.
The bridge of her nose is handsome and straight, and her ruddy and small lips are closed one by one.
Yu Xin's dress is even more appropriate, wearing a rose-colored dress, which is cut just right, revealing Yu Xin's fine round and white, lotus-like arms and calves, which set off her fair and shiny skin and small and delicate figure perfectly.
She sat there like a small flame burning and dancing quietly.
I really don't know if this dress was made specifically for her, or if she was originally the spokesperson for this outfit.
At this time, Sister Wang turned her head to look at Yinglong, and found that he was secretly looking at Yuxin in a daze, so she couldn't help but smile, so she gently pushed him: "Yinglong!" Prepare a song too! ”
Yinglong was embarrassed to come back to his senses: "Sister Wang! I've ordered a song, it should be the next one, you can order it too! ”
After speaking, Yinglong curled the corners of his mouth and smiled heartily.
After Yu Xin finished singing, she put down the microphone, and there was a round of applause in the hall, and everyone cheered continuously.
After the music was finished, Sister Wang handed over the microphone: "Yinglong, it's your turn!" ”
Yinglong picked up the teacup, took a sip of thick tea, moistened his throat, raised the microphone, and swept his eyes to the big screen, which happened to be "I Like You".
Cantonese songs are not Yinglong's strong point, but what kind of singing should be used to respond at this moment?
"The sorrow can't be dissipated, why is my heart empty."
The music slowly sounded, and Yinglong held back his mood and expressed his feelings in the most standard Cantonese in his life.
Everyone heard that even the sound of whispering was quiet, except for Yinglong, who was singing, everyone was silent and held their breath.
A few minutes later, there was a sudden burst of applause.
"Yinglong couldn't have imagined that you could sing so well in Cantonese!"
A colleague exclaimed.
"It's the original soundtrack, haha!"
Yinglong stood up flatteredly, bowed slightly to everyone, and then took advantage of the bending gap to stare at Yu Xin.
Seeing that Yu Xin was looking at him tenderly with a smile, Yinglong smiled lightly and nodded to Yu Xin.
After Yinglong finished singing, he said to everyone on the microphone: "Thank you!" Thank you! ”
After everyone applauded, they grabbed the microphone and sang one by one.
Sister Wang took the opportunity to grab the microphone, stood up and walked to the side, and when she got up, she instructed Yinglong: "You accompany Yuxin to talk first!" ”
Seeing this, Yinglong moved his body to Yu Xin's side: "Hey! Yuxin, you sing so well! ”
"Where! You're a good singer! I can't believe you sing so well in Cantonese. ”
Yu Xin supported the sofa cushion with her hands, and turned her face to Yinglong to smile, her face full of ruddy brilliance.
"I also learned by accident, and I usually listen to songs when I have nothing to do."
Yinglong knew that he didn't have many opportunities to sing, and since Yu Xin complimented him so much, he had to explain modestly, and moved his body to Yu Xin's side again so that he could hear her voice clearly.
The two sat next to each other and whispered about each other's thoughts.
The man next to him sang, glancing curiously at this side, then smiled, and continued to sing loudly.
Yinglong asked Yuxin in a low voice, "How old are you?" ”
“24。” Yu Xin lowered her head and said.
"24, you're two years younger than me, I'm 26."
Yinglong turned his head to look at Yu Xin, and realized that she was still a little shy.
"What are you?"
Yu Xin raised her eyes and looked at Yinglong.
"Dragons, hehe."
Yinglong scratched at his hair.
"I belong to horses."
"Haha, Ryoma spirit."
Yinglong grinned widely.
"Ryoma spirit, do you mean Ryoma spirit?"
Yu Xin glanced at Yinglong and said with a hint of a smile, as if Yinglong's words had some meaning.
Yinglong suddenly realized something, he should have said something wrong, but he was still a little embarrassed, so he continued: "Oh, I'm talking about it casually, but the horses are so spirited!" ”
"It's nothing, I heard that dragons are so domineering, Dragon King."
Yu Xin smiled generously, in her impression, it seemed that those who belonged to the dragon and the tiger were generally a bit domineering.
"Where, where, I usually have a good temper! Basically, I don't quarrel with others, if you don't believe it, you ask Sister Wang. ”
Yinglong's words were childish, not as worldly as others, but he thought that he was usually quite gentle, where did he come from, and then leaned his body on the back of the sofa.
Yu Xin pursed her lips and snickered secretly, this Yinglong doesn't seem to be the kind of man who is very worldly, he doesn't have any flamboyant performance, and he is relatively simple.
"What are you busy with?"
Yinglong asked her in a whisper.
"I'm okay --,, I usually just read books, watch TV or something."
"yes, I like to read too."
They quickly discovered a common hobby, and then chatted about the books they had read recently.
It turns out that both of them have fallen in love with reading since they went to school, which can be regarded as a common love between the two.
After some conversation, Yinglong found that Xia Yuxin turned out to be a "Zhang fan".
She especially likes to read Zhang's novels, such as "Half Life", "Red Rose and White Rose", "Love in a Fallen City" and so on.
Yinglong has actually only read "Lust and Caution" and "Half Life", and he has heard others comment that Zhang's novels are very "golden", and the stories are mostly related to rich and noble families.
But as soon as I talked to Yu Xin and listened to her in detail, I learned that Zhang was originally from a big family, so it was no wonder that he knew the details of the lives of those rich and noble families so well.
Yinglong asked, "Then what happened to her?" ”
Yu Xin said in a deep voice: "She later met someone who loved her even more. ”
Yinglong was a little touched: "Really? ”
Yu Xin felt the same way: "Yes, her future husband Lai Ya knows how to take care of her, although the difference between them is almost thirty years. ”
Yinglong smiled slightly: "It turns out that love can also cross age boundaries!" ”
Yu Xin smiled: "You read her novels, some of them are almost like her self-description, I think her experience is very extraordinary, and she is very strong." ”
Yinglong then remembered the book "Little Reunion" and felt that what she said was true.
Yinglong sighed: "Yes, but don't you think she believes in fate more?" ”
"Fate? Oh, probably, I feel that way too. ”
Yu Xin agrees with Yinglong's statement.
Yinglong found that Yu Xin agreed with him, so he said: "In life, in fact, many times it is fate. ”
Yu Xin asked curiously, "Really?" Everything is fate, why do you see it that way? ”
Yinglong explained in a deep tone: "Fate is originally a Buddhist saying, which compares fate to the silk thread of entanglement of fate, which is the kind of opportunity and possibility that connects everyone. ”
Yinglong took a breath after speaking, I don't know if Yu Xin can understand this explanation, but Yinglong is also learning and selling, he has read an article about fate before, fortunately he has a little impression, so he simply talked about it according to the book now.
Yu Xin thought for a while: "This is a bit esoteric to me. ”
Yinglong made an analogy: "For example, the two of us, we didn't know each other before, but now we don't know each other, and we are still singing together, this is fate, right?" ”
Yu Xin pondered for a while: "That is to say, our acquaintance is fate, you mean that people should follow fate!" ”
Yinglong smiled happily and felt that Yuxin was very spiritual: "Actually, fate is to meet the right person at the right time." ”
Yu Xin smiled and said nothing, muttering in her heart: Aren't you saying that you are the right person? Then he whispered to Yinglong: "If you want me to say, fate depends on heaven, and it depends on man." ”
Yinglong listened to it and felt that Yu Xin's words revealed a little meaning, which was worth his good aftertaste.
In his opinion, Yu Xin is actually not the kind of girl like a daughter, she seems to be more knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is not so tacky at all, which is still preferable.
Maybe tonight is "fate depends on heaven", as for "relying on people", it will depend on the future.
Next, they sang a few well-known songs, and for a while they hid aside and chatted, drank some tea and drinks, and ate a little snack.
With Sister Wang's support, the atmosphere in the hall was very lively.
It was late at night, everyone was almost in trouble, and when they were about to leave, Yinglong and Yuxin exchanged their respective phone numbers for future contact.
Yinglong then went to the front desk to settle the accounts.
After everyone walked out of the song hall, Sister Wang, Yu Xin and their entourage got into the taxi at the door and said goodbye to Yinglong.
Yinglong still walked home.
Blowing the autumn evening breeze, the air was a little cool, and Yinglong felt a long-lost lightness.
He looked into the distance with a pleasant gaze, and walked briskly, a little quicker than usual.
When they met for the first time, Yu Xin left a very good impression on Yinglong, he felt that Yu Xin was not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable.
Yinglong vaguely felt that although Yuxin and Shiwei were two different people, it still made him feel a sense of déjà vu.
Although the two have very different voices, smiles and dressing styles, it makes Yinglong faintly feel that they have something in common.
It is this plausible, yet familiar, feeling that attracts Yinglong. In the darkness of the song hall, under the light thrown at Yu Xin, it was in this dense light that Yu Xin was like a quietly burning rose, lighting up Yinglong's once dark heart.
And at that time, Yinglong's already silent heart actually beat "suddenly", and the temperature on his body rose at this moment, even if it would make Yinglong go crazy, he couldn't feel it at all.
