Kunming, who will you forget tonight

Chapter 50 Singing Together

After walking out of the neighborhood and getting into a taxi, I didn’t even think about what Su Yubing wanted to say. Half an hour later, I arrived at “Lightly Carved Tree Rings”, and was completely stunned by the sight in front of me. The plan is more specific. All the tables, chairs and benches are made of logs with a layer of varnish, the annual rings of the trees are clearly visible, and even the coffee cups are made of wood.The whole coffee shop is not big, there are almost 20 single tables and only a few double seats.This is the same as my original idea, this is a space for only one person.Enjoy the loneliness of being alone to the fullest.

There is a small stage at the entrance, with a grand piano, and various musical instruments hanging on one wall, such as cello, violin, guitar, saxophone, etc. A woman in plain clothes is sitting in front of the piano and playing. The environment of the coffee shop is particularly comfortable, and it looks like a high-end place.Fatty Sun sat at a table for two and waved to me. The waiter came over politely and asked me what I wanted to drink. I ordered a cup of coffee casually and chatted with Fatty Sun.

He complained: "Why did you come? Zhuo Lan was still here just now, it's all your fault."

I smiled and said, "You already know her, why don't you go and say hello yourself? What else can I introduce?"

"What do you do if you don't introduce it?" Fatty Sun muttered, "Should I just rush forward and tell Zhuo Lan that the advertisement for your store was proposed by Qiu Han and completed by myself, and I want to know you...in this way to say?"

"Thank you." Zhuo Lan didn't know when she came back again. When Fatty Sun was complaining about this, I was looking down at my phone. Neither of us noticed that Zhuo Lan appeared behind Fatty Sun. She suddenly said thank you, which was really shocking I also scared Fatty Sun.

Fatty Sun turned around in surprise, and saw Zhuo Lan standing behind him in a domineering manner. His whole body was not well. He stood up from the chair in a panic, and said awkwardly: "Uh...I...that..."

"Thank you." Zhuo Lan offered to stretch out her hand and said, "I am very satisfied with the advertisement you made."

Thinking of the last time Fatty Sun took the initiative to shake hands with Zhuo Lan, but was ignored by Zhuo Lan... But this time, it was Zhuo Lan who took the initiative to extend his hand. Fatty Sun stretched out his hands excitedly, and said with a sneer: "You are welcome, you are too polite , I can do something for you, and I am also very happy." After speaking, I didn't want to let go of my hand, and I couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

Zhuo Lan twitched his hand, but Fatty Sun held it too tightly and failed to pull it out twice. Zhuo Lan's eyes looked at his hand, and Fatty Sun realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly let go of his hand, saying: " Let's add WeChat."

Zhuo Lan said with a slight smile, "I didn't bring my mobile phone. I'll have someone send you my business card later."

"Okay, okay!" Fatty Sun stuttered a little when he spoke excitedly.

Zhuo Lan walked up to me and said with a smile, "How is it? Are you satisfied with this place?"

I got up and said, "I am very satisfied, completely beyond my initial fantasy, Zhuo Lan, thank you, let me see the coffee shop I designed become a reality."

Zhuo Lan smiled and said: "Qiu Han, come with me. I plan to give you a surprise on the opening day. I will save this surprise for you until now. Come with me." Speaking of this, Fatty Sun showed that he wanted to keep up However, Zhuo Lan turned to look at Fatty Sun and said, "I'm sorry, we excuse me."

Fatty Sun was speechless immediately, "Uh...okay..."

Zhuo Lan led me up the stairs. This floor was originally on the roof of Hall D. Could there be another floor above it?Not only looking up, the roof of the coffee shop is made of frosted glass, and you can vaguely see that there is another layer above the frosted glass. When Zhuo Lan took me up to the glass roof, I was completely stunned by the scene in front of me. Nanping Street The night view of the square has a panoramic view, and the bright lights reflect the prosperity of the city.

At that moment, I was a little indescribably moved. I didn't know why my eyes felt a little astringent, and I was in desperate need of tears.Zhuo Lan stood beside me, her long hair was blown by the wind, and her fragrance came repeatedly, "Qiu Han, do you like this place?"

"Hmm." I replied softly, "It's so rare to have such a quiet place in this noisy city. The investment in this coffee shop should cost two to three million yuan, right?"

"Five years of rent, plus decoration and advertising costs, a total investment of 340 million, which is not counting the salaries of the employees."

"Is it worth it?" I was a little hard to understand, "Just to find a haven for your soul, you spend a few million to open a coffee shop?"

Zhuo Lan said with a desolate look: "I have nothing but money...Qiu Han, can you understand the loneliness in my heart? I really want to have a shoulder to lean on, but I don't have it! The girlfriends around me who can talk are also Amy is the only one, and everyone else thinks how beautiful I am living in a Panamera, but who understands the depression in my heart?"

I don't know what Zhuo Lan's so-called depression refers to, but I know that if there is depression, you must release it. Only by releasing it can you truly feel the relaxation. "May I take you to release the depression in your heart?"

"Release the depression?" Zhuo Lan said disappointedly: "In this city, I feel depressed even when I breathe, so how can I release it? Qiu Han, you may not know that you accompanied me and Amy on the prairie The few days when I was driving around in the city was my biggest release, if possible, I really want to leave this city forever and never come back.”

I looked at Zhuo Lan and said, "Come with me, I will take you to use a special way to release your inner depression, do you want to try it?"

Zhuo Lan looked at me and hesitated for a while, finally nodded and said, "Okay, how do I release it? Is it here?"

"No, just wait for me." As I said that, I took out my mobile phone and called Ah Zhe, asking if he came out to sing tonight?Ah Zhe told me that I was in the square of Guandu Ancient Town. I told Ah Zhe to wait for me and I would come right away.

Zhuo Lan and I walked down the roof. Fatty Sun was still waiting in the coffee shop. Seeing us walking down, he approached me and suggested going out for something to eat.Zhuo Lan politely rejected Fatty Sun, and casually said that we would meet again another day, and had to leave first tonight.Fatty Sun wanted to say something else, Zhuo Lan had already told the waiter that he would give Fatty Sun a free order tonight.

In the parking lot, Zhuo Lan gave me the remote control of the Porsche Panamera. She sat in the passenger seat. I drove away from the Zhengyifang parking lot. Half an hour later, Zhuo Lan and I came to the square of Guandu Ancient Town , I heard Ah Zhe's singing from afar.I pointed to a group of people gathered in the corner of the square and said, "That's over there." When I was squeezing into the crowd, I took the initiative to hold Zhuo Lan's hand, she didn't refuse, and followed me obediently, and finally squeezed into the crowd At the front of the room, I saw Ah Zhe sitting on the ground in washed and whitish jeans, holding a guitar in his arms and closing his eyes, playing and singing Wang Feng's "Existence" to his heart's content.

Standing beside me, Zhuo Lan didn't understand why I crossed half of the city from the city center to Guandu Ancient Town Square, and asked softly, "What are we going to do next?"

"Sing." I looked at Azhe and said to Zhuo Lan, "Sit on the ground and sing loudly like him."

"Huh?" Zhuo Lan looked at me with incredible eyes and asked, "Sit on the ground and sing like him? Here?"

I didn't answer Zhuo Lan's question, but looked at her and said seriously: "I'll give you a song."

At the end of the song, I came to Ah Zhe and said, "Guitar, I came out in a hurry and didn't go back to pick it up. I can only borrow flowers to present to Buddha and sing a song."

Ah Zhe didn't mind giving me his precious guitar, but today he was a little embarrassed and said, "The microphone stand is broken, why don't I hold it for you, and you sing."

"No need." I took Azhe's guitar, sat cross-legged on the ground, took the broken microphone in front of me, plucked the strings, and sang Xu Wei's "Blue Lotus" softly. Nothing can stop you; Yearning freely; unconstrained career; your heart has no worries; passing through the dark years; also felt hesitant...

The reason why I chose this song is because the lyrics are really easy to relax the mind. Although I don’t have as good a voice as Ah Zhe, there are still many people applauding after singing. It’s a pity that the number of people watching is obviously not as many as before. However, Zhuo Lan stood at the front of the crowd, covering her mouth with her hands with a moved expression on her face.Azhe is an emotional musician, he soon found Zhuo Lan in the crowd.

I got up from the ground, returned the guitar to Azhe, walked to Zhuo Lan who was opposite, stretched out my hand and said, "Come with me, let's sing together, okay? I'll play the accompaniment for you."

"I..." Zhuo Lan said timidly, "I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" I stood in front of her and asked softly, "Are you afraid of expressing yourself in front of strangers, or are you afraid of being laughed at if you can't sing well?"

Zhuo Lan lowered her head and said, "I'm afraid, I'm also afraid of people staring at me, especially in such a square..."

"Is there any difference?" I persuaded Zhuo Lan and said, "Don't you often sing in Amy's bar? It's just a different scene and a different audience. Zhuo Lan, do you know? We can't stay forever In my former world, the world is changing, and we are also changing, don’t be afraid, come with me.” Then, I took Zhuo Lan’s hand again and led her to Ah Zhe.

The audience around are guessing, what is going to happen?It's fine for a cripple or a dick to sit on the ground and sing, but why is there a beautiful woman?What is even more incomprehensible is that diaosi is coaxing beautiful women to sing for money?The surrounding audience became more interested, but Zhuo Lan couldn't bear to sing in such a place. I said to Zhuo Lan: "Wait for me, I'll be right back."

I turned around and ran to a nearby store selling digital products that was opening. I bought a pair of Bluetooth headsets and ran back to Zhuo Lan. I gave the headset to Zhuo Lan and said, "Put this on your head and play a Your favorite song, close your eyes, imagine that this is the stage of your dreams, I will accompany you with A Zhe's guitar, come, close your eyes and try it."

Zhuo Lan took the headset and put it on her head, took the mobile phone from me and turned on Kugou, and chose an old song, "Go Back" sung by Hu Bing and Xilinayi. This is the 95 version of "Condor Hero" The theme song of Lovers, starring Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong, has also become a classic. Zhuo Lan showed me the screen of her mobile phone and asked softly, "Can you sing with me? I'm a little..."

I knew she was still a little scared, so I took her hand and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."

A Zhe helped us connect the mobile phone to the stereo, handed me a microphone and said: "You don't need to play the piano for the accompaniment of the mobile phone, and you don't need to sit on the cold ground to sing. I will record a short video for you."

Zhuo Lan said with a shy smile, "Thank you."

A Zhe made an "OK" gesture, and the accompaniment sound came from the speaker. Zhuo Lan held the phone in his left hand and the microphone in his right hand, and sang softly with his eyes slightly closed, "This time you really decided to leave... "Her voice is like the sound of nature, she has definitely been professionally trained, I was a green leaf again, and I even didn't grasp the pitch well in two places... Simply put, she was singing out of tune.

Even so, there was warm applause after we finished singing, and someone even put some change in Azhe's guitar bag.Of course, the vast majority of people gave generously to Zhuo Lan. Faced with the enthusiasm of the audience, tears finally welled up in Zhuo Lan’s eyes. I turned to face Zhuo Lan, and took out a tissue to help Zhuo Lan wipe the tears off her face. But she hugged me with open arms, put her head in my arms and said softly, "Qiu Han, thank you, thank you...I still want to sing."

"Yeah." I hugged Zhuo Lan back and said softly: "What do you want to sing, I'll help you play the piano to accompany you."

Zhuo Lan stopped me and said, "Use your mobile phone to accompany me. I just want to sing a song in your arms. Even if I sing out of tune, you will help me to block it. No one can see me." I found Jiang Meiqi's "Love Letter from That Year" in the mobile phone music software.
