night sky train

With one month left in the summer vacation, Xiaozhu and Zixiao were finally arranged clearly, and obediently entered the pre-school cram school.Xiao Zhu's piano practice career has temporarily come to an end, and Wei Yi's tutoring activities have also been temporarily terminated.

It took two days for Wei Yi to realize that he was already a vagrant with no financial resources.

Although there is still a lot of savings on hand, it is too leisurely to do nothing other than 5 hours of fixed piano practice time every day. Wei Yi has no interest in socializing and most of the fun, and lives in Wuhe City I haven't made any friends for more than half a year. The only neighbor brother who has a good relationship and likes him has changed his attitude drastically since he confessed to him, and he almost ignores him when he has nothing to do.Wei Yi just felt that life was boring, and after practicing the piano during the day, he browsed the recruitment information on the Internet.

He was not sure about job hunting, he didn't even look at full-time, part-time jobs and salary, he just glanced at the job content, and slid through all the ones he didn't like, and stopped to look at the ones he was interested in.It’s just that they didn’t agree after a few days, and then they started thinking wildly in their minds, wanting Chen Jifeng to call him over to serve tea and water in their office. back.

Until Wei Yi saw on the Internet that a western restaurant was recruiting a part-time pianist. The time was fixed after [-] pm, and the salary was calculated by the hour. It was enough for five hours a week. Students from the Conservatory of Music were given priority, and the decision on whether to hire was made on the spot.

Wei Yi took a closer look and felt that the location was good. It was just near the Central Commercial Pedestrian Street. The hourly salary was quite high, and he could get free desserts from the restaurant after closing at ten o'clock in the evening.Wei Yi called without thinking too much, and after making an appointment with the manager for an interview, he hung up.

Three days later, Wei Yi went to the restaurant for an interview. The interview time did not exceed 10 minutes, and Wei Yi was directly hired.The manager introduced to him the situation of the restaurant and the things he needs to think about working here in the future. Wei Yi listened carefully, taking out his mobile phone to write down the working hours and procedures in the memo while listening.

The manager looked at him a few more times and said, "Oh, why don't you just work full-time."

Wei Yi raised his head, and the manager continued: "You are much better at playing the piano than the brother who plays the piano full-time in our restaurant, and you are also better looking than him. If you can play the piano there during the day, the restaurant's business will definitely be better."

"Thank you, but I usually have to practice the piano, and I don't have time to do it full-time." I still have to find a way to meet his brother.

The manager obviously looked regretful, Wei Yi had already turned around and left with his backpack on his back.

When he got home, Wei Yi took out his mobile phone and reported to Chen Jifeng about his job hunting progress as usual.Now that he has nothing to do, he will send messages to Chen Jifeng, run into a little stray cat in the morning, go out with Xiaozhu and the others to watch some interesting movies, eat some delicious food, or record a piano piece he plays and send it over. Ask Chen Jifeng if it sounds good.

Chen Jifeng didn't reply to most of the messages, and a few responded slowly, maybe an hour or two, maybe a day or two, and they stopped sending messages on their mobile phones like they used to. Even if they couldn't reply immediately, they couldn't They will say they saw it and pretend they didn't see it.

Not to mention that in the past, Chen Jifeng would come to visit when he had nothing to do.Now it is very difficult for Wei Yi to enter Chen Jifeng's house.

But Wei Yi did not give up, and would continue to send the news that should be sent, regardless of whether Chen Jifeng replied or not.

However, just as Wei Yi sent the message this time, Chen Jifeng called.

Wei Yi was so frightened that he almost flew his phone out. He quickly calmed himself down and picked up the phone, "Brother."

Over there, Chen Jifeng asked him straight to the point: "Are you going to this western restaurant to work part-time?"

"Well, yes, because Xiaozhu was promoted to the third grade of junior high school, the tutoring class was temporarily suspended."

"Go to work at seven in the evening?"

"Yes."

"Working so late, when will you get off work?" Chen Jifeng's voice showed slight disapproval through the receiver, "It's too late, it's not safe."

Wei Yi felt a warmth in his heart.He knew that Chen Jifeng still cared about him, but he just pretended to be indifferent on purpose to make him retreat.Thinking of this, Wei Yi's tone lightened up, "It's okay, I'll take a taxi home."

"I said, it's not safe. You have to do this?"

"But I've already signed a part-time contract..."

There was silence on the phone for a while, and finally there was only a helpless sigh.

"Understood." Chen Jifeng said so, and hung up the phone.

Wei Yi pinched the phone a little uneasily, wondering if he made his brother unhappy?But the pedestrian street is often very lively in the middle of the night, so there is nothing unsafe.

Or resign?Wei Yi was a little confused, thinking that resigning before starting work might be a joke, but he didn't want Chen Jifeng to be angry with him because of this.

Wei Yi couldn't figure it out, so he practiced the piano all afternoon and chose to go to work first the next night.

The western restaurant where I work is the most upscale and luxurious restaurant in the entire pedestrian street. The restaurant is located on the top floor of the business building, surrounded by a full circle of floor-to-ceiling windows.

Wei Yi changed into his work suit, and the manager sprayed some hairspray on his head again, combed his stubborn hair, revealing a smooth and clean forehead.

The manager patted Wei Yi, "The traffic flow depends on you tonight."

Wei Yi thought he meant to let himself play well, so he nodded.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he attracted the attention of many people.Wei Yi is born with the temperament to be comfortable in formal occasions. The appropriate suit on his body complements his temperament and elegance indescribably. The light in the restaurant is warm yellow and soft. When it shines on him, it is like chasing the light to welcome the noble young offspring of the [-]s step onto the stage.

And when he stepped onto the platform and sat on the piano bench, the people around him were already a little commotional.

Wei Yi remembered that the manager told him that if no one asked for a song, he could play it by himself, so he tried the notes on the keyboard at random, and played Richter's "Wanderer Fantasia in C Major" at the beginning.

After playing one piece, people began to order songs continuously.Wei Yi never refused to come and play whatever he wanted, even if someone ordered Liszt's "Great Fantasia of the Bell", he just recalled it and played it without changing his expression.

I don't know if I can ask the manager to add money.Wei Yi complained silently while playing the piano.

Suddenly, the lights in the whole restaurant were dimmed, and then the general manager of the restaurant came out with a microphone in his ear. He smiled and said to all the customers in the restaurant: "Tonight, there is an important distinguished guest Mr. and his beautiful wife visiting our restaurant. , just now this gentleman decided to cover the consumption amount of the whole audience tonight. Due to the need of personal privacy, this gentleman does not want to disclose his name, but only asks me to send good words for everyone. I hope all the families present here tonight will be happy and happy. Lovers are finally married."

The restaurant suddenly became noisy, and everyone went around to see which boss was throwing a lot of money to win the beauty's smile.A deputy manager of the restaurant rushed to Wei Yi's side, and whispered in his ear: "I won't accept music orders anymore, just play the piano for those two distinguished guests."

Wei Yi nodded: "Okay, are they a little tricky?"

"The lady wants you to play some romantic and cheerful music, and she also said that she likes your piano sound very much." The deputy manager raised his chin slightly and pointed Wei Yi in the direction, "Table 5, she said that today she and It's rare for my husband to go out on a date, so you can just play the songs that are often used at weddings."

Wei Yi looked in the direction, and saw a man and a woman sitting facing each other in a booth surrounded by flowers by the window.

The woman was very beautiful, and when Wei Yi looked over, she smiled at him.Then the man opposite her also turned his head and looked towards Wei Yi.

The two men met, and the man was Zhao Yingbo's father.

Wei Yi frowned suspiciously, and glanced at the woman again, she was not Zhao Yingbo's mother.

"husband"?

Wei Yi and Zhao Yingbo's father stared at each other speechlessly for a few seconds, and then looked away with complicated expressions.

Wei Yi took a deep breath, rubbed his fingers lightly, and placed them on the keys again.

Under the dim and ambiguous streamer, Wei Yi played "Obermann Valley" from Liszt's "Travel Through the Years" expressionlessly, in a minor key, occasionally accompanied by sharp accents that did not exist in the original song.

Full house customers: "?"

The light in the restaurant was dim, the air conditioner was fully turned on, coupled with Wei Yi's vivid piano performance, the group of people seemed to be in a cool and dark valley, and they were about to start huddling together to keep warm.

After one song was played, a girl who was seated near the stage smiled and said, "Little handsome guy, you play really well. This is the song... why does it sound a little sad?"

Wei Yi also looked at the girl with a smile, and then turned his gaze to table No. 5. When he spoke, his voice was not too loud, just enough for the people in the booth by the window to hear: "This song was written by the famous world-class piano master. Leah Evans wrote and performed it. Her friend once experienced the pain of being betrayed by her husband who had been in love for many years, and finally committed suicide. this song."

The girl was in a daze: "Oh...it's like this..."

Some people present who were already familiar with the music of the piano showed question marks after hearing Wei Yi's words, but Wei Yi didn't care so much, he glanced at table No. 5 again, and saw that the faces of the two people were not very good, so he was in a good mood There were many, and he began to play various brisk marches in a regular manner.
