Chapter 222: The King of Hearts Game
I walked onto the stage with the applause and attention of everyone, then took the guitar from the band members, plucked the strings, and took advantage of the audition to think about what song to sing.
After thinking about it, I chose the song "Relative" by Ziyu Band, because this song seems to sing my emotions in this recent relationship.
As the lyrics say, when facing Mi Cai, I was ashamed of not being worthy of her beauty. I tried my best to keep up with the steps, but I became more and more tired in the pursuit.
.........
When I plucked the strings of the guitar, I was no longer willing to perform in a heart-wrenching way, so I relaxed and sang in peace, recalled in singing, and sang in memories, became lighter and softer in memories, so lighter and a little choked... Only then did I realize that I felt wronged in this just-end love, so subconsciously, I needed Xitang so much.
After the song was sung, there was a lot of applause from the audience. The bar owner Afeng gave me a thumbs up at the first time, acknowledging my self-singing level. Even the woman in a red coat applauded with everyone. This made me believe that music is a very wonderful power, and it will temporarily abandon the prejudices of the two people.
I put down the guitar, but Afeng came to me and encouraged everyone to sing another song. I couldn't help but feel warm. Although I didn't want to sing it very much, I still responded.
I picked up the guitar again and said to the customers present: "You order the song, I'll sing it for you."
Everyone said a word and said more than a dozen song names in an instant. Afeng hurriedly maintained order and said to everyone: "If everyone ordered, the Zhaoyang brothers can't satisfy them all... Let's do a game, and I have a deck of playing cards here, and each person gives one. If anyone can get the Red Peach K, he can get a chance to sing. How about it?"
Everyone thought this method was feasible.
Afeng signaled everyone to be quiet, smiled, and continued, "The theme of our bar is: I'm waiting for you in Xitang, you can wait for a gust of wind, a snow, a meeting, or you may just wait for someone... One wait is a story, so sharing the story is also the theme of our bar. Here I suggest that people who are lucky enough to draw the red peach k later can share with everyone the wait in their hearts, so let us spend this lonely night together in your story... OK?
Amid the crowd's approval, Afeng began to wash the playing cards in his hand and then sent them to the customers in the bar in order.
There is only one red k, and everyone regrets that they missed the opportunity, so they pay more attention to who got the only opportunity.
The woman with red coat whispered to her ears, picked up the cards in her hand and said to everyone, "The red peach is here."
I looked at her in surprise, feeling incredible by such a coincidence, because the chance of getting a red k is only one tenth.
Afeng took the red peach k from her hand, then returned to me, and said in a voice that only I could hear, "I gave this red peach k on purpose. Actually, I am quite curious about her experience!"
I nodded in a sudden realization and replied in a low voice: "This is a very special woman!"
"Um."
After Afeng answered me, he said to the woman: "Miss, you have got the opportunity to sing this time. Please tell me, I hope that Zhaoyang will satisfy you if you listen to any song."
“Love and Commitment.”
I said, "If I remember correctly, this is a chorus between Jacky Cheung and Chen Huixian?"
She nodded.
"This is a love song sang by two people, and I need one person to cooperate."
Afeng asked her, "Miss, are you willing to sing this song with Zhaoyang?"
She shook her head and signaled that she was unwilling to do so.
I was a little embarrassed, but I didn't mind because I understood that some songs can only be sung with one person in my life, and for her, I was not the man who could sing this song with her.
Afeng said to the female bassist behind him: "Xinger, you can collaborate with Zhaoyang for this song."
Xing'er nodded and stood beside me with a microphone in her hand. After we signaled each other, we collaborated to sing this love song that could make people with stories cry.
Although Xing'er is a bassist, she has a very delicate and gentle voice. Because I smoke all year round, my voice is slightly hoarse. After the two extreme voices merge, it produces a strange effect, like emotion, sadness, and desire... so that everyone is immersed in our singing, and she has sobbed continuously... At this moment, I seemed to see the tense string in her heart being ruthlessly torn off by the singing.
The song gradually stopped, there was no applause at the scene, only moving faces. Everyone heard the longing and expectation of the past in this song, and tore up the pain and helplessness of the present.
After a long time, Afeng was the first to applaud, but no one agreed with him because their hands were about to protect the cruelly torn wound.
Afeng was not surprised. He stopped applauding and said with an encouragement smile: "I believe that everyone remembered the vows in this song "Love and Commitment", so the wound that had not healed was torn apart again... But what about this?"
After a moment of pause, he said again: "We are a music bar, and even a healing bar. In the years since I run the bar, I have seen too many customers who are in pain come here to seek comfort, but many times, they do not receive real comfort. On the contrary, they will tear the wound into blood... But this is not terrible, because I always believe that only after truly experiencing the pain of tearing can we understand the true meaning of life and love, and from then on we will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, and walk the rest of our lives even stronger... You must remember that only strength is your last reliance, because as long as you live, there will be pain, and no one can avoid it..."
Everyone who had been silent finally applauded Afeng...
I think, perhaps the cocoon and butterfly that break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly after tearing apart is the real meaning of this group of people who need healing to come here.
According to the rules of the game of Red Tao K, the woman in red should share her story with everyone after my singing, but she left early, but everyone did not pursue anything because we all understand that some stories cannot be shared, even if they violate the rules of the game!
...
After the improvisation, I returned to the position I was sitting at first, and the boy who was accompanying me was thinking about something with a deep expression. After a while, he said to me: "Brother Yang, I think it's better to be a virgin... Love is so scary!"
I couldn't respond to his strange sigh, so I lit a cigarette for myself in silence.
He suddenly said to me with great resentment, "By the way... I'm very angry now!"
"So what's wrong?"
"Le Yao really saw that reply, she blocked my account... You executioner, I hate you so much!"
