The box booked by Xue Xiaobao is called Yazhu Box, which is located on the west side of the resort and faces the mountain, and guests can enjoy the lake and mountains at the foot of the mountain while dining, which is indeed a rare place for gathering and leisure. Of course, the price is naturally not expensive, not counting the cost of the meal, just a night's box fee is nearly 1,000 yuan.

Chen Yang and the three of them had just entered the box with their front feet, and Zhou Heping and Wang Wanping, who were late, also arrived just in time. Because it was a private party, at Chen Yang's request, their lovers also rushed to the appointment together, which was considered to be a fun.

And Chen Yang and the three of them are not reluctant to bring their families, but they have their own reasons, Chen Yang is because Chen Ruonan is not very suitable for the climate of Huahai, and secondly, Chen Ruonan's work is not easy to arrange, besides, Chen Yang really doesn't want Chen Ruonan to sacrifice too many things for himself. The other two, Guo Detian has already been operational, his lover is just an ordinary section-level cadre of the Lingxi Provincial Department of Finance, it is very easy to handle, but he still stays in the unit to deal with some handover procedures, and it is estimated that he will come to Huahai next month, as for Xue Xiaobao, not long after the end of this year, she has already ended her nominal marriage, and now she is single, so naturally there is no so-called family member.

Most of the people present were very familiar, and after greeting each other, while the time was still early, under Guo Detian's suggestion, everyone entered the special KTV room in the box with a smile, drinking tea, chatting, and singing, but it was a happy party scene.

Chen Yang and a few other men naturally sat on the spacious couch, waiting for the waiter to make a pot of good biluo spring. began to drink tea and chat, and Xue Xiaobao was originally very familiar with Zhou Heping and Wang Wanping, two old classmates who were both from Huahai, and was once a primary school classmate with Zhou Heping's lover Su Jing, so he didn't join the excitement of those big men. Instead, I chatted with the lovers of two old classmates, and after chatting for a while, I went to the song table to sing again.

Wang Wanping's lover Qin Qing is a cadre of the Huahai City People's Congress, and because of this identity, although this is just a very private party, after all, Mayor Chen is also present, she is still a little restrained, and Zhou Heping's lover Su Jing is different. She is not a person in the officialdom, and is currently teaching music in the performance department of Huahai Film Academy, a well-known university in China. It is a good match for Zhou Heping's elegant appearance, but the age gap between the husband and wife is relatively large, Zhou Heping is almost thirty-six this year, and she is less than twenty-eight, and her personality is very lively. In addition, he is a teacher in a professional college, so he can sing and dance or anything, and soon ordered a popular Dong Wenhua's famous song "The Story of Spring".

She is worthy of being a professionally trained teacher in an art school, and her voice is excellent. The grasp of the rhythm and rhythm is also just right, and the singing of this classic song is not much different from the original song.

Finish singing a song. But apart from the applause of the two female compatriots, there was no movement at all. She deliberately glanced back, a few men on the sofa were busy chatting, and they didn't notice her singing at all, let alone cheering or anything, she was a little depressed, and greeted angrily: "Hey, gentlemen, can you pause for a moment and show your demeanor?" ”

Zhou Heping has always loved his gentle and lovely wife at home, of course, partly because his wife's family background is also quite good, his grandfather was the deputy secretary of Huahai, and his father is now the deputy minister of the Organization Department of Southern Jiangsu Province. is also tolerant of his wife, who has been pampered since childhood.

However, when he heard his wife's anger, he immediately blackened his face and said softly: "Su Jing, what are you feeding, do you know the rules, you sing yours, what do you care about us?" ”

Before coming to the banquet, Zhou Heping of course had a private advice, saying that Mayor Chen was also present, but Su Jing was not a member of the officialdom, plus she had also seen Mayor Chen, Mayor Chen was young, not to mention, she was also quite easy-going, plus she had a good family background, she really didn't have much of that kind of class concept of the little people in her heart, and she couldn't let go of anything in front of the leader, and she had been married to Zhou Heping for a few years, let alone outside, even if she was usually at home, she had never been reprimanded so harshly by her husband. Not to mention that this is what her husband deliberately explained to herself before he came, so you have to liven up the atmosphere, who knows

Thinking of this, she was embarrassed and aggrieved, and her eyes were a little red, but at this time, she couldn't make a face for her husband, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she simply put down the microphone, turned her head and covered her mouth and sat back. (）

Xue Xiaobao was taken aback when she saw this, she didn't expect Zhou Heping's lover to be so fragile, her husband couldn't stand it if he spoke a little heavier, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Su Jing, whispered a few words of comfort, and at the same time turned his head and frowned at Zhou Heping and said, "Zhou Heping, look at you, you made your sister-in-law cry angrily, you are happy now." ”

The atmosphere was originally good, but I didn't expect it to freeze all of a sudden.

Chen Yang also felt a little embarrassed, he still set the rules before he came, he only talked about life tonight, not work, but several officialdom gathered together, where can the topic be separated from work, at this time he quickly ended the chat, and said to Zhou Heping very unceremoniously: "Heping, look at the good things you have done, don't you hurry up and apologize to Xiao Su." ”

Zhou Heping also didn't expect his wife to cry when she said she would cry, regardless of the occasion, and she suddenly felt that she had lost face, so she said stiffly: "Teacher Chen, you ignore her, she is like that"

Chen Yang didn't wait for him to finish speaking, his face sank, and he glared at him.

Zhou Heping was very in awe of Chen Yang, although he felt that he had lost his share in front of a few old classmates, he still quickly stood up from the sofa and walked towards Su Jing with a red face.

Su Jing is just an extrovert, not a woman who doesn't know the general situation, and when she saw that she embarrassed her husband in front of her teachers and classmates, she really regretted it a little. Quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly got up and said to Chen Yang: "Teacher Chen, I really don't have peace of mind, I don't need him to apologize to me." ”

Xue Xiaobao on the side saw this. didn't want to mess up the good atmosphere, so he smiled and said, "Teacher Chen, I don't think it's necessary to let Zhou Heping apologize, just punish him for singing a song to his wife, what do you think?" ”

She had a good idea, that is, it made both sides go down the stairs and liven up the atmosphere, and several other people present laughed and agreed.

Chen Yang also laughed and said, "Hmm." Xiao Xue, your idea is good, but this is not called punishment. I see, the song list has to be decided by us, so let's just ask Heping to accompany Xiao Su to sing a song "Husband and Wife Return Home". ”

In Boss Chen's laughter, the song had been ordered, and both of them were extremely embarrassed. I didn't expect that Mr. Chen was not very old, and how to choose a song would be so vulgar, but under the coaxing of the audience and the pressure of Chen Yang's eyes, the two of them were stunned. I could only obediently pick up the microphone and sing this classic Huangmei song together.

Zhou Heping is very chic. sings well, otherwise he wouldn't be able to capture the heart of his wife. The two sang together very tacitly, and it was a little embarrassing at first, but after entering the climax, it seemed to be similar.

Soon, a small turmoil disappeared in the laughter of everyone, and then, Chen Yang and the others were naturally embarrassed to leave a few ladies aside, and did not talk about those heavy officialdom topics anymore, but really put down their minds and started entertaining.

When he was playing on the ridge, Guo Detian clamored to listen to Xue Xiaobao sing, and naturally there was some coaxing at this time, but Xue Xiaobao was very generous, and soon sang two songs in succession, both of which were songs by milk tea Liu Ruoying, one "When Love is Approaching", and one "Later".

To be honest, she ordered these two songs entirely because she liked them, and there was nothing else to do, and she naturally couldn't be like Chen Yang, she didn't pick up anything at a young age, and she had a good relationship with ordinary cadres and colleagues, and when she went out to eat and sing with colleagues in the unit in the past, she would always order these two songs to sing, but for some reason, when she sang these two songs today, she couldn't help but be extra emotional, plus she had a good voice, these two songs were sung, But it made the people present feel a little surprised.

"Later, I finally understood in my tears that some people stop once they miss it"

Xue Xiaobao's voice was very gentle, and there was a faint sense of sadness in the faint singing, so that Teacher Xiaosu, who had always been affectionate and had a good personal relationship with her, and knew that she had a lot of family matters, her eyes were a little red, she couldn't help but pull Zhou Heping's sleeve, and whispered to her husband sitting beside her: "Peace, Xiaobao has had a really hard time in this life, that is, I have seen her really happy in the past few months, and I like to laugh." ”

Zhou Heping didn't have as much sentimentality as his wife, he frowned, and said speechlessly: "Is Xiao Xue's family still miserable?" ”

Teacher Su seemed to have been completely immersed in Xue Xiaobao's sad singing, she didn't even shake off her husband, and replied unhappily: "Zhou Heping, what do you know, Xiaobao she told me, she said that she fell in love with a man she shouldn't have fallen in love with, and she finally decided to end that marriage because she couldn't think of a man in her heart, but she was still carrying moral shackles, I think, she will not be really happy in her life."

"Huh!?"

Zhou Heping didn't expect his wife to say this, and subconsciously turned his gaze to the direction of the sofa opposite.

On the wide and fluffy Italian sofa, several men were very graceful at this time, and they didn't talk anymore, but listened to Xue Xiaobao singing seriously.

Zhou Heping's gaze was ghostly and fixed on the face of Teacher Chen, whom he admired and aweed from the bottom of his heart.

Teacher Chen's face was calm, and he looked at the stage with a very indifferent gaze, but it seemed that there was something hidden deeply, appreciation, or helplessness?

"Later, I finally learned how to love, but unfortunately you have long since disappeared into the sea of people"

Teacher Xiao Su followed the song softly, but she didn't notice that her husband had opened his mouth wide in surprise and looked at the other side, and when she came back to her senses, she turned her head to see her husband's surprised expression, she was just about to ask a few words, but the woman's sensitivity made her unconsciously follow her husband's gaze and look over,

On the sofa opposite, Mr. Chen was really a layman. He didn't know when, he had lit a cigarette in the box again very ungracefully, took a deep breath, and the smoke rose from the owl. Hiding his increasingly melancholy eyes

"It can't be Teacher Chen, right?"

Teacher Xiao Su was taken aback, her sad feelings were swept away, and her gossip heart burned, she looked at Chen Yang, and then turned her head to look at her friend who was singing softly on the stage, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Although there was no eye contact between the two of them, but, for some reason. Teacher Xiao Su accurately captured the breath in the air

Zhou Heping turned his head and looked at his wife with a suspicious expression, and immediately realized something, coughed hurriedly, and said in a low voice: "What are you looking for!" ”

Teacher Xiao Su is not afraid of her husband. At this time, there was no outsider around, so she wrinkled her nose at her husband and said disdainfully: "Why, I can't take a look, I'll see." There must be someone who has a weak heart, hmph, I originally thought that Mr. Chen was a righteous gentleman."

"Su Jing!"

Zhou Heping had to pull down his face again.

Teacher Xiao Su is obedient this time and will no longer gossip. However, he still pouted and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Then. The music had stopped, and Xue Xiaobao seemed to quickly withdraw from the faint sadness in the song. She smiled generously and said thank you to everyone who was applauding her, but no one noticed that when she turned around and gently put the microphone back on the stage, although the smile was still hanging on the corner of her mouth, it seemed so bitter

It's still early, someone started, and then someone went to order songs to sing, even Guo Detian, who was incomplete in five tones, couldn't resist everyone's coaxing, and went to the stage to sing Alan Tam's "Water Flower" in his hometown dialect.

When everyone was in high spirits of entertainment, Chen Yang didn't join in the excitement from beginning to end, just sat quietly on the sofa and listened to the song, politely applauding everyone, and Xue Xiaobao didn't go to order songs to sing again, sitting alone on the single sofa not far from the song stage, occasionally helping everyone order songs, and the rest of the time, it was more of a person holding a glass of orange juice and silently biting the straw

"Teacher Chen, I heard Lao Zhou and them say, you did everything you could to excuse ourselves when we had a gathering of teachers and students last time, and you can't push it anymore today, right?"

At this time, Guo Detian coaxed with a smile on his face.

Chen Yang hurriedly pushed: "You sing, you sing, I just concentrate on being an audience." ”

Guo Detian continued unrelentingly: "Teacher Chen, you can not give us face, but you can not give face to the student's family, Xiao Su, Xiao Qin, do you two say that this is the reason." ”

It's all said that Chen Yang opened his mouth today, don't make this party the same as a working meal, at this time, everyone invited enthusiastically, and he could only agree to it: "Okay, I'll try it." ”

When he walked to the stage, he was in a difficult situation, he didn't know what song to order, in addition to the red songs, there were only a few songs that came and went, all of which didn't seem to match the current relaxed occasion. And to be honest, after so many years, he really rarely sings K, and a few women in the family go to play together when they have nothing to do, but he never participates, he really doesn't know how to do it.

"Teacher Chen, let me help you, is it okay to look back again?"

Xue Xiaobao asked softly.

Chen Yang was slightly surprised, he didn't know many songs, but this one was one of the few he knew.

"Yes."

He smiled helplessly and nodded, reaching out to take the microphone that Xue Xiaobao handed him.

Although it was just a very simple action, for some reason, he seemed to be able to feel that Xue Xiaobao's hand was trembling a little.

Soon, the sound of accompaniment music sounded, Chen Yang put away his strange thoughts, looked at the subtitles on the projection screen, and sang this famous song of Jiang Yuheng sentence by sentence.

"Looking back, the clouds cut off the way back, and looking back, there are thorns"

I have to say that Chen Yang's slightly hoarse voice is very suitable for the style of this song, and his handsome and mature face, as well as his slightly melancholy eyes, are full of an indescribable sense of vicissitudes and are very manly

And he is obviously too modest, although he is not a professional, but he sings very well, especially this song, he sings with full taste, maybe ten years ago when he just walked out of school, he couldn't sing this feeling, but life in the world is like a white horse, he has already waved goodbye to that green years, and has grown into a mature strong man who can make relatives and friends rely on and be trustworthy.

The only thing that's a little regrettable is that although there are a lot of people here, no one is the one who has accompanied him through the past ten years, and no one can really understand his state of mind at the moment

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you? Let's go, or we'll be late, no, you, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Outside the box door, at the far end of the corridor, a young girl wearing a gray quirky new autumn dress stared at a girl in simple clothes and a baseball cap next to her with wide eyes in surprise. (To be continued......)
