Chapter 14 Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman
Wang Qi plays at a large bar called Heilan, which can accommodate more than 50 tables, with paintings on the snow-white walls and curtains hanging like curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows. The crystal lamps on the ceiling surround a begonia flower, the wall lamps are also very bright, and the decoration in the hall is luxurious and quaint from time to time. To Wang Qi's surprise, the owner of this bar is a female owner who is only 21 years old. After Wang Qi finished playing, he walked out of the bar and ran into the female boss. The female boss was wearing a shirt and short skirt, revealing her slender legs, and she took the initiative to greet Wang Qi: "Your name is Wang Qi, a student at the Conservatory of Music." ”
"It can only be said that it was, and now it is just a wanderer." Wang Qi said.
"My name is Xu Xiaoxiang, we are about the same age, you call me Xiaoxiang, your management has already told me, I plan to hire you to play in Heilan Bar for a long time."
"I'm not working for money, you know you can't fix him in a range when making music."
"I know that you can just play two novels at Heilan from 8 to 10 p.m. every night, and the rest of the time is free."
"Okay then."
"Shall we go in for a coffee?" Xiaoxiang pointed to a café and said, Wang Qi agreed. The two sat opposite each other, and Xiaoxiang asked for two cups of coffee, "Is the song you played tonight the violin song of the movie "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing Women"?" Wang Qi couldn't imagine that the fair-skinned, clear-eyed girl in front of him could hear the tune he played, so he nodded. Do you like this movie too? ”
"Yes."
"I feel like you're a lot like Charlie, he was almost expelled from school for not betraying his friends, and you were expelled from school for your friends." Xiaoxiang said, Wang Qi smiled reluctantly. "Why do you want to be a wandering artist, you play the violin beyond the domestic level, and even reach the international level, are you the same as the central defender, you feel in the dark, there is no hope."
"The central defender did not give up hope, he still ridiculed life, chic and comfortable, helpful, he wanted to die, but there were some hurdles he couldn't cross." Wang Qi said after drinking a cup of coffee.
"But he left his ground, not in the barracks, but in a dark hut."
"But he abides by the rules of the army, he never wants to leave, but he doesn't know what to do next?"
"Are you too?" Wang Qi didn't answer, and walked out of the café after drinking coffee.
Wang Qi and Xidan played in the underground tunnel, Xidan's sky-like voice, Wang Qi's elegant string sound attracted many passers-by. In front of them stood a girl with a beautiful face, her eyes fixed on two people. After Wang Qi finished playing the piano, she found that the girl was Jing Ya, the two looked at each other for a long time, and Jing Ya walked away angrily. After the end, Wang Qi and Xidan walked out of the underground tunnel, and Xidan asked, "That girl was your girlfriend just now?" Wang Qi was silent. She seems to like you and has her eyes on you for a long time. Wang Qi said irritably: "Okay, don't talk about it, I still have to go to Heilan Bar to play, you go back first." Xidan glanced at him nostalgically and walked away with his bicycle.
After Wang Qi finished playing at Heilan Bar, he returned to the rented room, feeling extremely depressed. He lit a cigarette, walked to the window, looked at the night, and thought of Jingya, what was she doing at the moment? I must be blaming myself for forgetting her so quickly. Wang Qi dialed Jingya's phone and wanted to explain to Jingya, but then hung up again. He wanted to explain something, saying that Xidan was not his girlfriend, and that he had always liked you in his heart. Wang Qi feels very funny, he is a person who has lived today and doesn't know tomorrow, is he qualified to say what I like about you? He hugged his head and shouted, "Haifeng, tell me, what should I do?" The Beibei rat got out of the cloth bag and crawled onto Wang Qi's body. Wang Qi grabbed it in his hand, and Bei Bei Mouse's round eyes looked at him, as if to comfort him. Wang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, man, I'm fine, come, show me your injuries." Wang Qi put the Beibei mouse on the floor, picked up its hind legs, and the Beibei mouse obediently stretched out its hind legs. Wang Qi said, "Man, this is really a miracle, your injuries are all healed." ”
The night fell, and the bleak wind blew again and again, and the leaves could not bear the cold and fell. Wang Qi wore a windbreaker, walked into the Heilan Bar, and started playing. Xiaoxiang also came out of the office, she was wearing earrings tonight, wearing a long skirt, revealing her white jade arms, showing her mature temperament. She asked the female recruiter to give Wang Qi a glass of water, Wang Qi took the water, Xiaoxiang smiled at him, Wang Qi drank the water and began to pull again. After work, Wang Qi and Xiaoxiang walked out of the bar together, and Xiaoxiang said, "The guests like your performance very much." Wang Qi said: "You manage the bar in an orderly manner, and I am just a foil." ”
"Foil, you really know how to use words, you are so literate, there must be many girls in school who like it." Xiaoxiang said with a smile.
"On the contrary, without even having a first love, would you like someone who carries a violin all day?"
"I'm the same, when I was in college, I opened a small bar, but I didn't know that the business of this bar was surprisingly good, and I couldn't cope with it, so I left school and started a business."
"I can't imagine that you are also a middle-of-the-road dropout."
"I'm a little envious of those college students now, and I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to drop out."
"You choose what they don't dare, don't be envious."
"And what did you choose?"
"I didn't have a choice, I have always been a passive recipient, I passively learned the violin, passively learned knowledge, and then I was expelled from school and passively went out into society."
Xiaoxiang invited Wang Qi to coffee, and Wang Qi said, "A friend is still waiting for me to play, let's go next time." Xiaoxiang said, "Okay then, I wish you a good time playing." ”
Wang Qi was at a turn and heard two people arguing, it was Xidan and her boyfriend. The boy took Xidan's hand and said excitedly, "Xidan, what is the matter, can you forgive me?" Xidan said: "It's too late, I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it, you go, I'm not worthy of you as a singer." The boy knelt on the floor, hugged her legs, and said, "Xidan, I love you, from head to toe, let's start over." ”
"Then how do you tell your parents that you want to be with a girl who sings and that she has no father and no mother." Xidan turned his face. The boy turned his face and remained silent. Xidan pushed him away and said with tears in his eyes: "Fengshi, let's break up, please don't come to me." Xidan ran away, and Fengshi knelt on the ground, not moving for a long time.
Wang Qi was playing in the underground tunnel, and Xidan walked up to him, said with a depressed face: "I don't want to sing today, you accompany me to drink." Wang Qi put away the violin and went to a stall with her to drink. Xidan drank wine and talked crazy things, scaring several guests away. There were more than a dozen beer bottles on the table, Xidan seemed to be drunk and lay on the table, Wang Qi paid for the wine and helped Xidan out of the stall. On the way back, Xidan drunkenly said, "Do you like me?" Wang Qi helped her and said, "You are drunk, we are on the way home." ”
"Home? I don't have a home, my parents don't want me for a long time, and you don't want me either—"
"Who doesn't want you anymore, you need to rest now."
"Then you say you like me." Wang Qi confirmed that Xidan regarded herself as her boyfriend, and he said, "I like you. Xidan smiled bitterly and said: "You lie, you men always say that they like you, you like me, why don't you marry me?" Xidan fell to the ground, Wang Qi looked at the drunk girl, could only carry her, and returned to Xidan's house.
