223 Love Song
As a local, Song Ran’s recommendation is quite good. This authentic Cantonese restaurant is located in an alley next to Nansuzhou Road not far north of Nanjing Road. Sitting on the window on the second floor, you can see the winding Suzhou River not far away.
"This river is Suzhou River. The movie that director Lou Ye and teacher Zhou Xun once filmed tells the story of this river."
"The Suzhou River in the movie seems very dirty and messy, it looks very neat now." Qin Yu stretched out his head and saw that the river had been built on both sides of the river and was filled with trees. Under the lights on both sides of the river, weeping willows gently caress the river surface, making it look quiet and natural.
"Well, the river was stinking for half a year every year when I was a child, so I didn't dare to come here to play. In recent years, the government has increased the sorting of river channels, but now it can't be seen."
Song Ran's tone was filled with regret. The Shanxi Road Bridge across the Suzhou River in front was less than 200 meters away, and it was her home. When she was in elementary school, her parents moved here to live, so she was very familiar with it.
This time I didn't say hello to my parents, and Song Ran couldn't go back and take a look. I was already very satisfied with being able to look at the direction of the home with my beloved, looking at the direction of the home and having a dinner with my beloved.
Qin Yu listened to Song Ran's words quietly without interrupting. He could feel Song Ran's loneliness and stretched out his hand to gently hold her slender hands. Qin Yu suddenly felt a little heartbroken. From Song Ran's eyes, he knew that this place should be not far from Song Ran's home, but because he wanted to accommodate Qin Yu, he kept avoiding it.
It’s still the same feeling, shouldn’t I continue to escape, should I continue to be a coward in this relationship? Or should I face it well, then hold Song Ran’s hand and announce loudly to the outside world that this is my lover?
Feeling Qin Yushou's warmth, Song Ran smiled indifferently at him, raised his eyebrows gently, and said shyly: "Stop ordering food quickly, I'm hungry, I want to eat roast goose. The roast goose in their house can rank among the top in Shanghai."
This elegantly decorated Cantonese restaurant is really good. It is not only clean, elegant, but also exquisite. Whether it is honey char siu, roast goose or baked lobster with soup, they are all full of color, aroma and flavor.
After solving the problem of eating and drinking, Qin Yu did not directly pull Song Ran back to the hotel as he said. Instead, he bought a bouquet of roses in a flower shop in the alley and gave it to Song Ran.
Valentine's Day without roses is incomplete. Song Ran happily accepted it, holding flowers, holding Qin Yu's arm, walked along the river embankment of the Suzhou River to the Huangpu River, and began to stroll around the Bund.
There are many people on the Bund today. As soon as I turned in from the Suzhou River, I saw a surging crowd, people were crowded, and you couldn't walk fast. In a slightly empty place, there were still many children pulling men and women on the side of the road to sell flowers. The roses that were originally one dollar each have been sold for ten yuan today.
Qin Yu was also harassed like this, but when he saw that they were already holding a bouquet of flowers in their hands, he gave up and looked for others. Fortunately, there were a lot of people today and they didn't have to worry about business.
In the past, Song Ran and her cousin Tang Yao followed their aunt Tang Jing to enjoy the river view and watch the performance. They envy the couples who are very loving and show off their dog food everywhere. At that time, when they were young, they would cover their mouths and laugh and run away when they saw others being a little closer. Later, their aunt talked about her boyfriend and got married. Only she and her cousin were together. In the ignorant period, they began to look forward to having a perfect love. Later, they went to Yanjing to go to school and found that they had not been here for many years on Valentine's Day. The scenery has been long, but things have changed. Fortunately, Qin Yu accompanied her this year to appreciate the gorgeous light show on the riverside.
Of course, every Valentine's Day, in addition to flower sellers, chocolate sellers and beautiful light shows on the Bund, the underground band performances in Chen Yi Square are also commendable.
Qin Yu and Song Ran were stopping to enjoy the performance of an underground band. It was said that the band was not accurate, it was just a two-person group. The boy behind was a keyboardist, and the lead singer who sat in front and held the guitar was a girl. The singing was not rock, but love songs and folk songs. The girl's voice was clearer and her voice was a little low, and she felt lazy in it when singing folk songs.
"That laugh reminds me of my flowers
It is quietly open for me in every corner of my life
I thought I would always be by her side
…”
This is Pu Shu's song "Those Flowers", but the girl sang the version covered by Fan Weiqi. Without Pu Shu's faint sadness, she has a sense of strength and softness.
The girl then sang a song "Zhang San's Song" by Wanwan singer Tsai Qin. The sunshine was full of hope. However, after the song was sung, the few audiences around him scattered, and the piano box in front of them was still empty. On this Valentine's Day night, such a slightly sad folk song was obviously not suitable.
It was already ten o'clock, and it seemed that there was not much gain tonight. The girl sighed and said to the boy behind her, "Let's just do it today, let's withdraw."
The boy did not reply, but looked straight behind the girl. Qin Yu and Song Ran took out two hundred yuan and put it in the piano case.
"You guys sang well."
"Thank you. It's just that we chose the wrong song today." The girl looked at Qin Yu's expression with sincerity, without any intention of belittlement, but she really felt that their performance was pretty good, and she expressed her gratitude to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu watched the two of them prepare to clean up the stall and withdraw the venue, remembering that he had experienced such a scene. Sometimes he sang at the subway for a night, but there was not even a person to stop and appreciate.
"Can I lend your guitar to use? I want to sing a song for my girlfriend." Qin Yu made a reluctant request to the girl, and some singers minded others using his guitar.
"Ah, are you Mr. Qin Yu?" The girl recognized Qin Yu and seemed very excited: "We like your song "Elop" very much, but our voices are not suitable for rock."
"Thank you, the folk songs you sang are also very good and very clear." Since the other party recognized him, Qin Yu was not covering up, and he just wore a baseball cap today.
The girl handed him the guitar in her arms: "Don't you know what song you are going to sing? Do you need other accompaniments?"
Qin Yu said to the slightly nervous girl and boy: "beyond "I like you. It would be even better if I could give me a few beats through the keyboard."
"Okay, we are very familiar with this song." The boy did not give in and promised Qin Yu.
Qin Yu played a few times and tried the sound. Although this was an ordinary folk guitar, the pitch was pretty good. Only one string was looser. Qin Yu tightened the buttons to a scale, and the others were not out of tune. Qin Yu tried to play a prelude, and the boy in charge of the keyboard behind was also familiar with this classic song. After two attempts, he could perfectly keep up with the rhythm.
“The streets with drizzle and rheumatism and dusk
Erasp the rain and look up without reason
Looking at the lonely night light
It's that sad memory
I felt countless thoughts in my heart again
The past laughter still hangs on my face for a moment..."
Qin Yu's singing brought many lovers around him to the scene. This classic Cantonese song from beyond is very popular in China, especially "I like you, my eyes are moving, and my laughter is even more charming..." After this familiar rhythm came out, many lovers around him followed him and then formed a chorus, attracting more people around him to watch. Only the singer Qin Yu sang while staring at Song Ran who was slightly shy in front of him, expressing his love nakedly.
"One more song." I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and then the others agreed.
Qin Yu looked at the two men and women behind him, and they were also excited. They performed on the street for so long that they had never caused such a sensation. The girl said to Qin Yu: "Mr. Qin, otherwise you would be giving me one."
"Okay, what are you singing?"
"How about singing your song "Eloping"?" the boy suggested that he could keep up with the accompaniment of this song.
Qin Yu shook his head and pressed down the brim of the cap. There were so many people on the scene, if they sang their own songs, they would definitely be recognized: "I'll sing a new song." After that, Qin Yu held the guitar and sat on the bench again, but he didn't look up at the other people on the scene, his head was slightly lowered, and he focused on playing.
"The night sky without stars
No topic to add
Too many promises slip through your fingers
Don't dare to ask for anything
…”
This is a new song, the first time it was released. However, its beautiful melody and sweet lyrics make the people who originally heard the new song ready to leave and stop and stay. Being able to hear a song destined to be a classic song is the best gift for them on Valentine's Day.
“…
Are two people enough to capture the lens of love
Close your eyes and remember your smile
Happiness and calmness emptiate the soul
Enjoy a minute of touching
…”
The melody of the chorus part made everyone agree. Although they had not really heard what the lyrics were, it did not prevent them from raising their hands and then swaying left and right to the rhythm.
Knowing that the song ended, when Qin Yu returned the guitar to the girl, everyone was still shouting, "Are two people enough to capture the shot of love..."
However, there were still sharp-eyed fans who recognized Qin Yu's identity. Someone shouted "Qin Yu" and then attracted the attention of others, "Which?" "Who is it?" "Where?" A question-filled voice kept coming one after another, while Qin Yu pressed his hat lower and then came out of the crowd from behind the boy.
When Song Ran saw these excited people on the scene just now, he made gestures to Qin Yu and gradually withdrew from the crowd. He waited outside. After Qin Yu came out, he held his hand and ran away, for fear of being surrounded by these enthusiastic fans. However, while running, the light of his eyes swept down the familiar figures of a man and a woman.
