Chapter 170: The Lady in Red
Under the night light, young people crowded into groups, all of them gathered in front of the poster of the second season of "The Sound of Nature" singer auditions, some were curious, some were disdainful, and some were just joining in the fun, only Yuna outside the circle was in a state of floating for a long time.
On the day of the trial of the Three Religions, the news of the hanging of the Pyanton was published in the newspapers, announcing the complete destruction of the remnants of the Blood Shadow Troupe in the Gara Kingdom, but the series of butterfly effects caused by this were far from over.
Since the day the poster was posted on the bulletin board outside the Snow Dove Restaurant, her brother-in-law's advice has echoed in her ears again, but not doing anything superfluous means stagnation, letting the timid heart dominate her body, and the hand reaching for the poster retracts several times.
She held her breath, a faint flame of hope ignited in her heart, a stubborn and unwilling look froze on her face, and when the crowd dispersed, she finally mustered up the courage to slowly walk to the bulletin board.
Tomorrow is the deadline for registration, and instead of doing nothing all day, she might as well give it a go, and maybe she can use the prize money from the winning prize to get the best lawyer in the city to defend Ling Wenxuan, who is dissatisfied with the first-instance verdict.
As soon as she tore open the corner of the poster, a sigh made her turn her head sharply, only to see a young woman with a cigarette in her hand and a pair of beautiful lotus feet, leaning sideways against the glass door of the snow dove restaurant, her red lips closed one by one.
"Tsk...... Little sister, you have to think clearly, don't choose the wrong way and bury your future. ”
"I want you to be nosy!" Yuna snorted angrily, rushed through the door, and almost bumped into Peng Honggui, who was wiping wine glasses in the bar, "Can you not always be elusive and want to scare me to death!"
"If it weren't for my low sense of existence, who would help you find out the information of the three major religions?" Peng Honggui saw Youna glaring at him, and quickly changed his words, "Although our information is not of much use to you, but you have at least learned the location of the Hidden Dragon Temple, the main altar of the Heavenly Liberation Sect, and it is up to you whether you can save Ling Wenxuan at that time." ”
Youna rolled up the registration poster and hid it in the wooden cabinet: "What about Jia Chao and the others, what good proposal does he have?"
"Don't count on him, that boy is completely unreliable. Peng Honggui squinted his eyes sideways at Jia Chao, who was shaking the wine bottle to the side.
I saw that he used his juggling talents to mix wine, the bear bent over, let the wine glass fly over his back, his left hand held the rim of the glass with a skillful gesture, and the right hand pinched the spoon and stirred quickly clockwise, so that the ice cubes that collided on the wall of the glass made a bell-like sound. He lifted the snow mountain wine he had prepared above his head, like a waterfall evenly pouring into the wine glass, and quickly lifted it when he was about to fill the glass, so as not to let even a drop of wine spill outside.
The lady in red who met by chance outside the door sat opposite Jia Chao, picked up a glass and tasted the concocted wine, and then let out a seductive laugh, attracting the attention of the men in the restaurant to focus on her perfect ketone body. But she shook the wine glass in her hand disapprovingly, and hooked Jia Chao's jaw with one finger, making the twin peaks pressed on the bar ready to come out.
Jia Chao seemed to have been sucked away by a magnet, and he froze in place and remained motionless until Peng Honggui stepped forward and shook his shoulder.
"Miss, please wait, you haven't paid yet!" When Jia Chao came back to his senses, one of the hands of the girl in red was already on the glass doorknob, and when he was about to catch up, Peng Honggui pulled his sleeve.
"Hey, you're a pervert, you don't want to go out and fool around again, do you?"
"I can't let that out-of-character singer break the rules here, if the boss asks about me, you can make up a reason to take me off. Jia Chao struggled to shake off Peng Honggui, came to the girl in red with a lewd smile, reached out and touched the other party's buttocks, and turned to Peng Honggui sideways, "By the way, you have to teach Yuna how to be a good bartender, don't neglect our guests." ”
Peng Honggui was so angry that he made a throat-locking movement on Jia Chao's back, and then sighed.
"There is so little fabric on that woman's clothes, could it be ......" Yuna covered her mouth with her hands, and immediately blushed, embarrassed to continue.
She is one of the contestants who once performed well in the first season of "The Sound of Nature", the famous bard Yarita, who has now become a prostitute, which is really pitiful and sad. Peng Honggui instructed Youna to bartending gestures, while putting the back of his right hand against the left side of his face, and lowered his voice, "At that time, a judge of the competition threatened Yalita that if she didn't sleep with her, she would not be allowed to win the championship as she wished, and then she couldn't withstand the coercion and temptation or compromised, who knew that someone took an indecent photo and published it in the newspaper, which caused a great response in the society, in order to settle the matter as soon as possible, the organizer sued the judge according to law, and at the same time deprived her of the championship qualification." ”
"In the face of such a hypocritical and ugly showbiz, anyone's original intention will be shaken, after all, other people's charity cannot be exchanged for dignity. Between the words, a doorbell rang, Mu Yunxi calmly walked into the Xue Dove Restaurant, deliberately ignoring Youna's hostile eyes, and sat down in front of the bar with his fingers interlocked, "Bard is not so easy to be, even if you have the courage to fight against all kinds of unspoken rules to the end, but if you don't have the corresponding strength, you will still achieve nothing." ”
"You seem to know me well. Yuna restrained her strength from holding the wine glass too hard, her eyes peeked at the two women wearing straw hats in the distance, and when she saw them laughing, she couldn't help but be angry with Mu Yunxi, "It's very rude to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, I'm really blind, and I think you're a decent gentleman." ”
"Didn't I learn from you? Didn't you come to work at the Snow Dove Restaurant just because of the information about the trial of the Three Sects? So what can you do if you know? Still nothing can be changed. Mu Yunxi sighed, picked up the goblet, and drank it all, "Why do you prefer to believe in illusions, but never touch your own truth? ”
"Because I don't think everything you have given me is true, the outcome of the trial of the Forensic Court should always make you satisfied and excited about it, right?" Yu Na looked directly at Mu Yunxi's pupils and sneered without humility or arrogance, "Yes, who wouldn't hate those who they want to get rid of?"
"No, you're wrong! I'm in a relieved mood right now, I'm only here today to talk to you a little longer, to relieve the pressure I've been building up in my heart for a long time, otherwise I won't be able to get back to the person I used to like you. Mu Yunxi fiddled with the wine glass in his hand, and the light on the bar counter was so weird that his eyes were confused, "Shen Fangli, since you disappeared, we haven't sat together for a long time, you used to always want to taste a sip of Snow Mountain wine, but unfortunately you are under the age of eighteen, and you are always laughed at by the store manager." And now that you've learned how to make our signature wine, who would dare to laugh at you?"
"Is it really that delicious?" Yuna picked up half a glass of wine on the table, raised it to her nose and sniffed it, she couldn't believe that Peng Honggui taught her how to mix bartending, she learned it all at once.
"Don't believe it, taste it yourself!"
Under Mu Yunxi's urging, Youna took a small sip, and the refreshing taste stimulated the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, forming a strong breath that penetrated into her throat and heart, removing her troubles, a slightly drunken flush appeared on her face, and her pace became a little unsteady.
"You're drinking for the first time, don't drink too quickly, learn to savor slowly. Mu Yunxi said and lifted the wine bottle, ready to help Yuna fill the wine glass.
"No, I'm afraid I'm going to be inseparable from it if I drink it any longer. Yuna hurriedly waved her hand in refusal.
So, Mu Yunxi no longer insisted, but took out a napkin and wiped his lips: "This is what I appreciate about you the most, even if you have amnesia, you are still holding on to your childhood music dream, unlike some people who will only complete the work assigned to him by others step by step." ”
"Oh, my former student council president, you've finally noticed me. Peng Honggui sighed with an expression of wanting to cry without tears.
"I remember that you used to be in charge of discipline in the student union, right?" Mu Yunxi lit a cigarette, took a puff, and pointed to a piano placed on the stage diagonally opposite, "Your piano here won't be a fake product, right?"
"Look...... How many years have passed, and the keys will inevitably be a little ...... Shabby, but I guarantee that the piano is of high quality, it just lacks ...... An excellent pianist. Peng Honggui wiped the sweat from his head, and his speech became stumbling.
"Why are you so nervous, is it because the store manager is not there?"
"Less nonsense...... Please hurry up, the store will close in half an hour. Peng Honggui pinched his watch and urged.
Before the words fell, the sound of the piano gradually rose. The first sound was a set of quaint and hyun, Mu Yunxi's dexterous fingers fluctuating back and forth on the black and white interlaced keys, the music was like a pale ghost praying silently, * part was very unrestrained and bright, like a dazzling light in the dim sky.
Listening to this music, the waiter who delivered the meal felt that he was delivering royal food, and the man who was drinking alcohol because of his broken love suddenly became energetic, thinking about the scene of saving the world, and even the two women just now became Mu Yunxi's fans, took off their straw hats and stood up from their seats and danced.
The audience applauded, and people extended their thumbs to Mu Yunxi to show their respect. But he was unmoved, quietly closed the lid, and smiled at the stunned Yuna: "How about this original piano version of "Prayer of the Stars"?"
"That's amazing...... I didn't think you still had this kind of talent!" Yuna exclaimed sincerely.
"Do you want to learn? With your musical talent, I can teach you to play the piano in a very short time. Mu Yunxi handed the ashtray full of cigarette butts to Peng Honggui to clean, "The masters who participated in the "Sound of Nature" singer audition are like clouds, and it is difficult to win with only excellent singing skills, you need to show the judges other talents in addition to this, it is the best choice." As he spoke, he took out a book of "Piano Tutorials" in his pocket and handed it to Yuna.
"Thank you so much for helping me, and I'm sorry for misunderstanding you!" Yuna took the book, her heartbeat a little chopped by joy.
"Yes, you have to remember! I am the one who is good to you, not the murderer. The person Mu Yunxi was referring to was Ling Wenxuan, and his shadow in the light suddenly looked extremely cold.
The silent thoughts froze Yuna's smile......
Sure enough, the word "forgiveness" never existed in Mu Yunxi's dictionary.
