Chapter 70: Return it with a song, the thief of the years
Everyone sat down in the casual bar. About ten people ordered several dozen beers, some snacks, and the so-called specialty of the bar here - "hot pot base", which is a large aluminum pot with hot pot ingredients inside.
Ice cubes, limes, lemon slices, cherry tomatoes and other colorful "ingredients" are then opened, and bottles of beer are opened, poured into them, filling the basin, and then poured into the wine glass with a spoon to drink, which is quite generous.
It also has a unique flavor.
The excitement at the dinner continued, but since it was a casual bar, the emphasis was on the atmosphere and not being noisy. The musicians singing on the small platform in the center also sang softly and slowly.
There are already many people sitting in the surrounding sectors, including white-collar workers in suits, groups of best friends and wives, groups of uncles talking about things, and some sitting quietly alone, not wanting to sit in a more secluded cafe or bookstore.
, and in this kind of atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of a disco-style bar, where you can feel that you are not alone, drinking a little wine and reminiscing about the past is also a part of life.
Chen Yi smelled that he did not blend into the atmosphere of the wine table. He might have had a few glasses of wine with everyone, but instead he felt a slight sense of separation in the environment of laughter and laughter.
In his last life, it would be hard to say that his life was unsatisfactory. Anyway, it was quite satisfactory. Qin Huiru and Chen Jiaqian were both ordinary people. They had worked in the company for a lifetime. Chen Jiaqian became a deputy chief engineer, and Qin Huiru became a boss and appreciated it.
The accountant is considered a confidant. Chen Yiwen heard that when they were young, they once thought of going to sea. Chen Yiwen estimated that his parents would probably take this route in this life.
In his previous life, he was driven by Chen Jiaqian who was an engineer since he was a child. He used his drawing pen to plan a path that was almost error-free. He was educated to study science since he was a child, and he inherited his father's career when he came out.
When he was in middle school, he mustered up the courage to send a girl home, but he was caught by Qian Qin Huiru of the Chen family who followed him home. Since then, he has always had a shadow in his heart. He always suspected that his parents were two wizards, and he was one of them.
Muggle children, they can always use various methods to monitor his every move in school, and open a portal to come to him when needed.
When he graduated from the college entrance examination, a girl called him at home and asked him to fill in his application. She even invited him out to drink milk tea and admitted the classmates he had not completed. Without exception, his father thought that he had to be fully prepared to go to college and was unavailable.
And hung up.
Later, it was a step-by-step path. I lived up to my parents' expectations and went to a pretty good university. Then I graduated and joined a big company. I was appreciated for my hard work. Then I followed the boss every day, led the team, and was rated as the company every year.
The backbone, the boss's loyal dog, and the pacesetter in overtime work. On the day of the accident, he was still working overtime desperately, and then fell asleep and came to another self in this time and space.
This person has no constraints since he was a child. Everything he has done today, including making videos, kidnapping a group of friends and Ding Shimei, participating in competitions, and winning awards, are all things he has never done and could not do in his previous life.
It was also something he had thought about but never done in his previous life.
Would there be any regrets if his previous life disappeared like that? But after all, he was an old man in his thirties who had accomplished nothing, so what was there to regret?
I have only been in love a few times, and those romantic loves in the most innocent years were over before they even started. After that, I no longer have the pure thrill of my youth.
There was a time when I wanted to leave the company and everything around me, drive my own off-road vehicle to no man's land, escape from humans, and leave.
But I didn't expect that the ultimate dream in my heart would be realized in this form.
This journey is not 80,000 miles.
This journey is a journey through time and space, a wormhole, general special relativity, quantum mechanics, a singularity, and Einstein's explosion on the spot.
There is only a way out and no return date.
Another possibility of life opens before your eyes.
The new world was kissed painfully in this way, and what should I do? Should I sing in return?
I don't know who came to invite him to drink in turn, and he drank several glasses in a row.
The man named Wu Jun whom I introduced just now seems to be a different person. He talks more and is more active. He even takes the initiative to drink in circles frequently, with no clear intention of targeting Ding Shimei, but he drinks it all in one gulp every time.
Holding the cup in front of her, Ding Shimei couldn't stop taking a sip.
And Wu Jun would always say, "I'm bored after one sip, just take a sip and that'll be it!"
But often, Ding Shimei would drink it all in one gulp. But in fact, it can be seen that she doesn't drink often. She just cooperates with everyone's atmosphere so as not to spoil the mood. Her face is actually red.
When drinking alcohol on the face, Chen Yiwen remembered that a doctor said that this is because the metabolism of ethanol in the body is blocked, causing blood vessels to dilate, which will cause facial redness. This is a sign that the liver is not good and is not able to drink. But don’t say that he was there.
Guys and Dolls, even many wine club veterans, don’t care about this.
Chen Yiwen said, "How about I help her drink." As he said that, Chen Yiwen took the cup in front of Ding Shimei.
This move immediately caused a burst of cheers of "No!" and "How can it be done!"
Xu Yining said simply, "Come on, Chen Yiwen, stop acting. We know that there is probably no relationship between you and Sister Ding! You two are still pretending!"
Xiang Siqi said, "Yeah, did Sister Ding ask you to act and help her fend off those crazy bees and butterflies? It's too cliche! It's almost enough to act!"
Luo Qing and Wang Donghua looked at him from the side, both looking helpless.
Wu Jun held the empty wine glass that he had just finished, and looked at Chen Yiwen leisurely with an indifferent expression. He thought to himself that you two are not in that kind of relationship, so why bother to put on such a show.
Chen Yiwen glanced at Ding Shimei again, and she stared at him. Her cheeks turned red after drinking wine, which made her eyes blurred and she gave Chen Yiwen a weak and helpless smile.
When Chen heard about it, he thought this was forcing me to do a trick.
Facing a group of people who were staring at the slightest change on his face, who seemed ready to catch him and reveal the truth about his affair at any time, Chen Yiwen stood up just as the musician in front of the central stage of the fan finished a clear melody.
Chen Yiwen went straight to the stage and asked for the instrument in his hand. This kind of casual bar does not require special instructions. If a customer wants to come forward and sing a song, it is normal and welcome, and it is even an atmosphere point. There are many other
The guest tables will spontaneously give attention and encouraging cheers.
Everyone saw Chen Yiwen walking to the front of the stage, taking over the musician's guitar, and chatting for a while. The other person might have helped him adjust the sound quality backstage. Chen Yiwen simply sat on the bench and played with it.
The microphone emits an echo for the entire audience.
Then he hugged the guitar and said, "This song is for a girl below. All the words are in the song."
Only then did people realize that this was a love song! There was a burst of cheers and applause from all around, and many people casually took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
A group of young people in the audience looked at each other in confusion. Huang Li, Xu Yining, and Xiang Siqi looked at Ding Shimei in astonishment. They also took out their mobile phones and prepared to take a picture. Among the crowd, Ding Shimei's cheeks were red and her pretty eyes seemed to be wearing something.
Through the night, Chen Yiwen fell under the spotlight.
Chen Yiwen played the melody.
Simple and refreshing, like a sweet spring flowing down the river of time and space.
"["Thieves of Time"] Don't let go if you can hold it tight
If you can hug, don't pull.
Time is rushing, washing away
What’s left…”
The song flows.
People are silent under the wash of this river of time and space.
A man walking alone stopped outside the outfield fence. In the slightly cool weather, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at the songs inside through the light and shadow.
He attended the wedding today and saw a couple of newlyweds, two families, and laughter. When you realize that you will never get that person, you are completely relieved. He loves her and wants her more than anyone else.
She is happy, but he is not as good as anyone else, so she can only live well and watch her love others without envy, don't be envious.
Among the two pairs of men and women not far from this sector, one couple looked at each other, and the sound of music seemed to remind them of something.
They met in middle school, ran a blackboard newspaper together, and were roommates. They said they liked each other that year, but said they were still young and had a long way to go.
After graduation, they lost contact. In their twenties, they finally got together and came full circle back to where they started.
Fortunately, they met the right person at the best age and did not lose each other in the end.
Maybe it was because the singing touched them a little, they thought of the past, looked at each other, and held hands for the rest of their lives, asking for advice.
…
"Forgive the twists and turns we have gone through
It turns out that everything left behind is true
Even though it seems like a dream, half awake
Smiling, crying, all happy..."
How could the person sitting alone over there not be attracted by the singing?
When he was studying, Qianli accompanied him to school. They got along briefly and then parted ways. The two looked at each other through the car window and cried. After graduation, they were separated again.
She would wear a scarf for him every winter. She knew that he would wear her scarf through the streets and alleys of that city in the busy traffic, where he would drink coffee, where he would stop and think of her.
There are still two years left and we are about to get through it. Come on, who told us to like each other so much?
…
"Who, let
Time is something that catches people off guard
Sunny sometimes windy sometimes rainy
I can't fight for the day and night, but I still think about the past
I stole Qingsi, but kept you..."
The lonely man beside the terrace outside. She would always remember that day last year when he died of illness.
At this time, the singing voice coming from far away made her cry.
How could she let go of her six-year relationship? She missed him every day and was heartbroken every day.
She had promised to grow old peacefully, but she was still the only one left in the world after all, and she really wanted to see him.
…
"Time is a journey with no return
Good or bad, they are all scenery
Don't blame me for being greedy, I just don't want to wake up
Because of you, just for you, willing to be with me
Look, the clouds are calm and the wind is gentle...""
Life is a journey, both good and bad are scenery. Don’t blame me for being greedy, I just don’t want to wake up.
In the midst of such singing, Chen Yiwen looked at Ding Shimei. But he was not just looking at Ding Shimei, he was only looking back at the past and upcoming moments of these two lives.
Everyone in the Qing Dynasty looked at the stage. There was a chasing light on Chen Yiwen. What kind of emotion was he singing?
Listening to it makes people envious and mournful.
Wu Jun looked at Chen Yiwen in silence. In comparison, he felt as lonely as a dog at this moment. That guy was obviously just a gag in "Chen Da Chui". He didn't have a formal and unreliable appearance. How could he sing in the blink of an eye?
The lonely voice urges me, and I sing until my heart is broken.
Huang Li was completely immersed in such playing and singing, feeling that that person seemed to have a halo around him.
Xu Yining was filled with grief and anger. The white swan leader of the dance team, whose heart was always frozen, discovered for the first time that if a man dedicated a song to her like this, she would really commit himself to him.
Xiang Siqi, a young and artistic young woman, recorded with her mobile phone, her eyes flushed. There was a certain power in the singing that made her feel the same pain.
The three roommates could only sigh with emotion at this time, how lucky Ding Shimei was to have a boy like Chen Yiwen play and sing this very beautiful song for her that they had never heard before.
Ding Shimei looked at Chen Yiwen.
At that moment, his dazzling eyes were more than just dazzling?
She had a feeling.
It's like the light of the stars and the moon that goes retrograde through the years.

====
The song sung in the book is from "Thieves of Time", and the original singer is Jin Minqi, but the boy version I found is more like the protagonist's scene. I will post an Easter egg chapter and public account later.
The first volume is finished and a new volume will be opened tomorrow. Let’s just update it today.
There will be reflections on the first volume later.
