Free heart

When Shen Xiaoxiao sat in front of a black upright piano and discussed quietly with the band members, Shen Ying, Zhou Lin and others sitting under the stage couldn't help being stunned.And Gu Hongkai stared at Xiao Xiao on the stage as if his eyes were discharging, but his mouth turned to Shen Ying and said, "Miss Shen can still play the piano??"

Shen Ying smiled without saying a word and smoked a cigarette, and said ventriloquically, "I really can't see that this little girl has such a hidden ability!? However, she doesn't seem to be proud of it. Why? Could it be This is also her personal privacy, and others can neither ask nor show the appearance of peeping?"

Immediately, he said to Gu Hongkai, "You don't know about that. Xiaoxiao not only got a master's degree in economics from Columbia University in New York this time, but also got a bachelor's degree in music by the way."

"A degree in musicology? Did you get another one by the way? Are you so good?! Brother Chen, I can only say that the little girl in your family is very capable!"

"How? If you still want to bite the bullet and chase after it, you'd better show some real skills. At least, you have to make the little girl pleasing to the eye, so that you can be considered successful in contact, right?!"

Gu Hongkai asked, "Really capable? So playing sports cars, playing model airplanes, playing golf, doing business well and earning money is considered a skill?"

Shen Ying smiled, but asked back, "Hong Kai, even a director in your father's company can do these things, do you think you are capable?"

Zhou Lin stared closely at Xiao Xiao on the stage, and quickly whispered to the two of them, "Stop talking, you two, Xiao Xiao's singing has begun!"

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and pulled the microphone boom to a suitable position, and nodded solemnly to the drummer behind him on the right.The drummer nodded in response, and opened the prelude to this song with a gothic style and similar to church music with strong, slow and heavy bass drums.

With the sound of the bass drum and the prelude of the electronic soundtrack, Xiao Xiao played on the piano keyboard with the same heavy technique.Accompanied by bass drums, a female voice with a deep sense of gloom and choral piety, combining the elements of spirituality, holiness, resentment and depression, deduces a sad English song. Original song:

You lie quietly in front of me.

Your tears mean nothing to me.

The wind howled against the windows.

the love you never gave me,

I gave it to you.

really don't deserve it,

But there is nothing you can do now.

Just sleep in your only memory of me,

my dearest mother.

Offer this lullaby for your peace, goodbye forever.

You are exactly the one I've been ignoring.

I'm not sad enough to cry for you.

Offer this lullaby for your peace, goodbye forever.

farewell.

farewell.

so insignificant,

Is it sleeping in the deepest part of my soul?

Or did you hide it?

Already lost in the ditch?

Or fly high among the clouds?

Maybe you'd be happier without me.

So many seeds were sown in the fields,

If I die, who will thrive under your blessing?

I will never feel a tinge of sadness,

You won't hear me say sorry.

Where is the light?

I don't know where it is hiding and weeping?

Offer this lullaby for your peace, goodbye forever.

You are exactly the one I've been ignoring.

I'm not sad enough to cry for you.

Offer this lullaby for your peace, goodbye forever.

Offer this lullaby for your peace, goodbye forever.

There is another important reason why "CottonClub" is well-known in the bar circle of Shanghai Bund.The reason is its relatively low ceiling, which makes the sound reverberation of live performance and singing sound different.Therefore, it has become a venue for many musicians to record albums.

The dim lighting of the bar, the distinctive reverberation of the voice, the sound of the small piano, and her unique female solo charm instantly filled the whole bar with a sense of darkness, fear and solemnity.

After the performance of the song which lasted more than 6 minutes, there was a short period of no applause, no applause, no criticism, and even silence without any sound in the bar.

Shen Xiaoxiao put down her hands and turned to the left to watch the Chinese and foreigners who almost filled the entire bar under the performance stage.She felt very strange, and whispered to the bass player and boss sitting beside her in English, "Mr. Miles, what's going on?"

American Eric Miles with long flowing black and white hair smiled softly, "Camila, your singing voice and piano playing are so perfect! You can actually interpret a game's theme song That's great!"

"Thank you, Mr. Miles! But why would they? Don't they like it?"

"I don't know! Maybe in the eyes of the Chinese, this gothic song is not suitable for performing here."

"Okay, I see. Thanks!"

"Camilla, do you have time after the 12:[-] AM show?"

"One minute, is it enough?"

"Enough! Thank you, Camilla Shen."

"You're welcome, Mr. Miles."

Just as she thanked the band members and left the stage, several foreign men sitting in front applauded in unison.Shen Xiaoxiao walked towards her friend's seat, smiled and nodded at several foreign men and said, "Thank you! Thank you very much!"

She stayed away from the drinking tables of several foreign men, but she found that the Chinese at other drinking tables were looking at her in unison, with a hint of seriousness, sadness, confusion and incomprehension in their eyes.

This feeling is especially strong when she returns to the drinking table of relatives and friends.From her point of view, the future sister-in-law Zhou Lin actually had a look full of tears of grief.

Zhou Lin hugged her and blamed her, "You know, I cried when I heard the last part of the song?!"

Xiaoxiao smiled and patted her on the back, "I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't sing this song tonight!"

Shen Ying stared at her sister, shook her head and drank a glass of whiskey.Looking at my sister, I said, "Xiao Xiao, you can sing very well! You can play the piano very well too! But I'd rather you sing other songs, any song will do!"

After looking at his friend for a few seconds, Gu Hongkai picked up a glass of prepared popular tequila, and said to Xiaoxiao, "Miss Shen, it seems that I am still not mentally prepared to listen to this song, I punish myself A glass of pop tequila! I think, compared with this supernatural English song, this glass of strong drink is simply childish!"

His friend also raised his glass, "Miss Shen, you sing so well! I just want to say that your singing has successfully destroyed our psychological defense!"
