Chapter 56 - Mo Fei's Song
It was a new day, and the sign of"Street Corner's Coffee Shop" was hung out.
Yang Yi sat in his bar again, butthis time, instead of wiping a cup tirelessly, he was reading slowly with abook in his hand.
Xixi was sitting in the round sofain front of the bar, holding her dolls and happily playing house by herself. Occasionally,she would look up and see that her father was still sitting there, and she settledback down.
There were still few customerscoming to the coffee shop, but there was something different from before!
There were more beautiful songs!
"You said that this road is a bitdark / but you don't want to accompany me / the only concern left isindifference / and I can only carry this sadness alone…"
The four ordinary corners of thestore were equipped with the newly bought speakers, and under the 3D SurroundSound high-end Hi-Fi equipment, Mo Fei's faint singing voice sounded even morelingering and heartbroken.
"Actually, her song is not bad,and even if I don't take it by force, I will save a place for her." YangYi was tired of reading. Sometimes he looked up and looked at the album on thework surface under the bar, secretly thinking to himself.
This was Mo Fei's most successfulalbum in the past, called "Empathy", and what Yang Yi has justlistened to was Mo Fei's most popular song up to now, called "Feel LikeStrangers", the main song in the album, "Empathy".
At that time, Mo Fei's album wentplatinum, and also pushed her to the Iceberg Song Queen throne. After listeningto it, Yang Yi had to admire the excellence of this album!
And the song "Feel LikeStrangers" is really good. The story told by the lyrics is heartbreaking,and Mo Fei's unique and cold voice made the emotions in the song seem ordinary,yet endlessly sad.
Even though he is familiar with MoFei, after listening to this song, Yang Yi can't help but want to give her ahug and learn about the past described in her song.
Of course, this song was written bysomeone else, and it was about someone else's stories…
But Mo Fei's voice was reallyspecial. If it has to be described by reference, then her voice has A-Mei's vocalrange, Princess's cool and refreshing voice, and Karen Mok's lonesome and sorrowfulvoice. Moreover, if someone with keen ears listen carefully, like Yang Yi, onecan also hear that there is also Milk Tea's emotional voice hidden in thedepths of her voice. (TN: A-Mei, Princess, Karen Mok, and Milk Tea are singers,I think.)
However, Mo Fei's emotional voice washidden by her in the corner of every lyrics and in her high singing skills!
With regard to her singing skill,Yang Yi remembered that he once read a background introduction about Mo Fei onthe Internet: Mo Fei's mother was also a singer who developed in Hong Kong manyyears ago, but at that time Hong Kong was in a golden age. With the emergenceof many talented people, Mo Fei's mother could not even mix up with second andthird-tier singers, not to mention Mo Fei's achievements now.
However, Mo Fei's has developed agood voice and mastered a variety of singing skills since she was a child. So, sinceher debut, she was able to sing very difficult songs, which amazed manybrokerage companies and songwriters.
But why, as time goes on, will she graduallyhide her emotional side? Yang Yi doesn't understand this.
As he shook his head and was readyto continue reading, the wind bell rang at the door and a guest came!
Yang Yi looked up and saw two menwith glasses standing there.
The first one was wearing black squareglasses, while the guy standing slightly behind was wearing some really dullround-rimmed glasses, a bit two-dimensional.
Of course, it can be clearly seen thatthe guy in round-rimmed glasses looked a bit uncomfortable and when he makeseye contact with Yang Yi, he subconsciously turned away. Presumably, he is notvery good at dealing with people, right?
They looked around at this desertedcoffee shop, with a look of confusion and hesitation. They were not like customers,just standing in the doorway!
"What would you like to drink,gentlemen?" Yang Yi has no choice but to take the initiative.
"Excuse me, boss, we're lookingfor someone." The older middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses explainedwith a smile.
Looking for someone? Yang Yi wasconfused. He doesn't usually have a lot of customers a day, and he hasn't fosteredregular customers. Why would anyone come to him to look for someone?
But the middle-aged man with black squareglasses had already turned his head and said to the guy with round-rimmedglasses, "Qiang Zi, please call and ask, we're already at the place. Didhe give the wrong address?"
The guy with round-rimmed glassesnodded quickly. He pulled the zipper of the computer bag he was carrying, buthe remembered that it was wrong and pulled the phone out of his pants pocketinstead.
Wait a minute, Qiang Zi?
Yang Yi's thinking speed was stillvery fast, and he immediately reflected where he had seen the name before.
"Are you looking for me?" YangYi shook the buzzing mobile phone in his hand, looked at the opposite partyhelplessly and said.
"Are you Yang Yi?" The guywith round-rimmed glasses asked in surprise.
"If you don't believe that I'mthe real deal, would you like to see my ID card?"
…….
Finally, they confirmed theiridentities with each other. The two people who came were Hu Da, theeditor-in-chief of Qiyue Chinese Website, and Qiang Zi, the editor in charge ofYang Yi.
"Yang Yi, have you been asoldier before?" When Hu Da got closer, he saw Yang Yi's height and figurewhen he stood up, and he asked in some surprise.
"Um." Yang Yi nodded.
Hu Da was suddenly enlightened, andhe said: "No wonder your military novel resonates with so many bookfriends! It's so real. It's not related to your experience, is it?"
Yang Yi was speechless: "Novelsare just artistic creation."
"I understand! I understand!"Hu Da laughed an said.
Qiang Zi is diligent in asking questionsonline, but in reality, he is a bit embarrassed and doesn't like to talk,except for shaking hands and greeting with Yang Yi at the beginning.
He even sat a little stiff, and couldn'thelp but be absent-minded. He turned to look at the little girl behind him.Yang Yi had just introduced her just now. She was his daughter, Xixi.
So cute. She's as beautiful as aporcelain doll.
Qiang Zi couldn't help but sigh withemotion in his heart, "When I reach Yang Yi's age, I also must have such alovely daughter!"
But the issue is, at this age, willhe have a girlfriend? Qiang Zi felt dejected.
Xixi felt it. She turned her headcuriously and looked at the uncle with disheveled hair. Her bright big eyes scaredQiang Zi and he hurriedly turned his head again.
On his side, Hu Da was stillchatting with Yang Yi. As the host, Yang Yi naturally wanted to make coffee forthe guests. While Hu Da was looking at Yang Yi's bar, he suddenly saw the bookYang Yi put aside.
"From the fall of the territory to afull-scale counterattack," though Hu Da has not read it, the title of the bookhas clearly told him what kind of historical record it is!
Hu Da had a flash of inspiration, andhe took the initiative to ask, "Yang Yi, you told Qiang Zi that you'regoing to write a new book. Is it a story that happened during the anti-invasionperiod?"
Yang Yi was grinding coffee beans,and when he heard this, he looked up in surprise: "How do you know?"
When he saw Hu Da's eyes hinting atthe book, he understood.
Yang Yi smiled and said, "Yes,I want to write a war story that is different from 'Soldier Assault', and thatis more hot-blooded and exciting!"
Listening to Yang Yi's simpledescription, Hu Da secretly clenched his fist.
More hot-blooded and more exciting, isn't that what he wants? A military novel that is closer to the rhythm of a ReadNovelFull! (TN: more fictional than realistic?)
