It was drizzling in the gray sky.
Gao Pingling was holding an oil-paper umbrella. The scene reminded him of a rainy alley, of a girl with a lilac-like melancholy. Gao Pingling only looked at the sewing shop from afar.
A man walked past Gao Pingling. The strong smell of perfume made him feel a little uncomfortable. The man's walking posture was very elegant, showing a very gentlemanly appearance.
Gao Pingling saw him holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand and a guitar slung over his shoulder as he walked straight to the sewing shop. Gao Pingling thought that among the girls and their masters in the shop, only Sujuan was worthy of flowers. Gao Pingling felt as if he was being stabbed in the back. Although he had seen many men go to the sewing shop to curry favor with plain silk, he had never felt nervous like this.
As soon as the man walked into the sewing shop, the atmosphere in the shop suddenly became lively. Gao Pingling stood in the rain, looking up at the faint yellow clouds in the sky. The floating clouds made him feel lost for some reason. A beautiful song," Phoenix Tail Bamboo Under the Moonlight," drifted out of the shop. The sound was sentimental, but it was particularly harsh in Gao Pingling's ears. To be fair, he played the song very well. When Gao Pingling was studying in school, he was a very good guitar player. At that time, the teacher who taught instruments even took him in as his last disciple. A woman's humming came from the sewing shop. Gao Pingling felt particularly uncomfortable, like a fish bone stuck in his throat. He couldn't swallow it, but he couldn't spit it out either. Gao Pingling felt like he was going to explode. He was so jealous that he was trembling. He even wanted to rush into the sewing shop and beat up that b * stard who was showing off so badly that he would never dare to come to this alley again.
Gao Pingling wanted to leave, but he didn't want to. He just stood there in the rain. When he saw the man coming out of the shop, he quickly dodged to another smaller alley in the alley. When the man walked past him, Gao Pingling followed him. He didn't know why he was doing this, so he just followed him. Gao Pingling only turned around and went home after the man walked into the public security compound.
He thought of Immortal Qian's words, saying that Elder Yue had originally planned to pair Sujuan and Zheng Fangyue, so he suspected Immortal Qian's magic. From the looks of it, the man playing the guitar just now was probably Zheng Fangyue. Gao Pingling's head was drooping as he walked on the flagstone road feebly. There weren't many people on the street anymore. Couples holding umbrellas walked past Gao Pingling, saying sweet and warm words. A sense of loneliness that he had never felt before suddenly hit Gao Pingling's heart. Zheng Fangyue made him feel a sense of loss, but he did not think that he had completely failed. He could give up everything, but the silk had become a pain in his heart. That pain was a heart-wrenching feeling.
When Gao Pingling returned to his residence, his heart was terribly empty, as if something of his had been left outside. Suddenly, he took down his beloved guitar from the wall.
The night wind was cold, and the drizzle was filled with sorrow. Gao Pingling held his guitar, closed the door, and walked into the rain. He was like a wild beast with bloodshot eyes, looking around for a target to kill. The rain had drenched his hair on his forehead, forming crystal beads on his hairline. Gao Pingling actually came to the alley. The sewing shop was still busy. The faint yellow light shone on the street, illuminating his elongated figure. Gao Pingling summoned his courage again and again to walk into the sewing shop, but he still couldn't. What was the point of going in like this?
Gao Pingling gently adjusted the strings, narrowed his eyes, and played the love song that he had once won an award in the city. The sound of the zither reverberated in the alley, as if it was weeping and complaining. The beautiful tune awakened Gao Pingling's confidence from the depths of his heart once again! When the song ended, he suddenly heard a round of applause. Some people couldn't help but take out money from their pockets and respectfully handed it to him. On such a cold rainy night, the people who had planned to rest early returned to the streets to listen to the open-air guitar singing. Gao Pingling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had actually been misunderstood as a singer. Gao Pingling tactfully declined the people's kindness and improvised to sing " Rain Lane ".
Holding an oil-paper umbrella, I wander alone in a long, long and lonely alley in the rain, hoping to meet a girl who is like a lilac with sorrow and resentment. She had the color of lilacs, the fragrance of lilacs, and the sorrow of lilacs. She was sad in the rain, sad and hesitant. She wandered in this lonely alley in the rain, holding an oil-paper umbrella like me. Like me, she walked silently, cold, desolate, and melancholy. She walked closer and closer silently, then cast a sigh of relief in her eyes.
Gao Pingling used his unique lyrical voice, sometimes high and sometimes low. As he sang, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat and wanted to cry. As the music reached its climax, the applause from the crowd was particularly enthusiastic.
Mr. Gao, another song.
Mr. Gao, another song.
Someone in the crowd began to shout. No one was willing to leave, and they all waited quietly.
Gao Pingling gently plucked the strings, and the song he was playing was " Phoenix Bamboo Under the Moonlight ". He didn't know why he chose such a song. When the song was played, he was especially surprised. There were many songs that he could play, but he chose the song that Zheng Fangyue had played today. It was as if he would defeat his love rival and let his beloved plain handkerchief return to his side after playing this song. As he hummed, he glanced at the sewing shop through the crowd. The shop had long been closed. However, Su Juan was clearly standing beside him, holding up an umbrella for him.
Gao Pingling looked again. There was no silk or umbrella. He had clearly been hallucinating.
Gao Pingling went back very late. When they left, the people who were listening to the song were still reluctant to part.
A few days later, Xue Li came to the school to look for Gao Pingling. Gao Pingling asked," Second Sister, what did Immortal Qian say when you went to look for him?" Xue Li made an embarrassed expression, and Gao Pingling realized that something was wrong. Gao Pingling said," Second Sister, do you think the words of the money god are that important? Didn't you make your own decision back then?" Xue Li smiled and said," Look at how anxious you are. When you came down from the mountain where Immortal Qian lived, I happened to ride on someone's tractor and rush over. I bumped into you." Haha. Gao Pingling's smile made Xue Li feel like a student who had done something wrong and was discovered by a teacher. Gao Pingling said," Second Sister, I admit my mistake. I shouldn't have gone to that money immortal. Can you forgive me?" Xue Li said," Do you think I really believe that Immortal Qian's words? In order to arrive before me, you actually dared to take a small path that few people dare to take." Doesn't this show that you really love Sujuan? Gao Pingling said," Second Sister, please help me. I really can't find the feeling of being in love. Up until now, I'm nothing. I'm nothing." Xue Li didn't say anything. She just sat there. When she was about to leave, she turned her head and said," Looks like I'll have to rely on the matchmaker to help you." Gao Pingling said helplessly. Xue Li said," This week, I'll ask Matchmaker Guo to bring you home. You can meet Sujuan. It's up to you whether it works or not."
Gao Pingling had made ample preparations for this blind date. She specially bought a set of good clothes and shoes from the best shop in the city. She looked especially energetic when she wore them. He knew that Sujuan's father liked to drink, so he picked two bottles of good wine from the shop. There were many sisters in the Liu family, so Gao Pingling had prepared many things that the girls liked. When Sunday came, he would go straight to the Liu family for a blind date.
On Sunday, Gao Pingling rejected all his business and followed Matchmaker Guo to the Liu family. The Liu family was also like a festival. Many people in the village came to watch the show. Gao Pingling didn't find any plain silk in the crowd. Big Sister Liu was setting up the stove in the kitchen. Second Sister and Hunchback Zhang were also there to help. A large group of daughters of the Liu family were either playing in the courtyard or doing some work within their power. Gao Pingling wanted to help, but everyone said,"It's not your turn to help. Go and rest." For a moment, there was no one to accompany him. Gao Pingling looked at the colorful certificates pasted on the wall in the central room. It was nothing more than a reward for the Liu couple being famous fertility experts in the village. Gao Pingling wanted to laugh. He could post these things to show off, but he couldn't laugh when he saw the group of sisters.
Drunkard Liu didn't come back when it was time to eat. He just got someone to send a letter saying that the district government had invited him to accompany the distinguished guest who had come from afar. He couldn't get away, so there was no need to wait for him. Sujuan specially asked for leave from her master and returned home. However, she looked unhappy and sat at the table without looking at Gao Pingling. Matchmaker Guo nagged, but she couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her. She just buried her head and only cared about eating. Gao Pingling suddenly noticed that she was wearing a plain silk dress and a silver-white necklace around her neck, which was extremely out of place with her outfit. It was obvious that Sujuan already had someone in her heart. Gao Pingling had never felt so awkward before. If he could dig a hole in the ground, he would have crawled into it without hesitation. It was really too embarrassing. He was using his hot face to suck up to someone else's cold butt. It was awkward.
Su Juan finished the rice in her bowl in a few mouthfuls and said softly," Aunty Guo, Mr. Gao, enjoy your meal." Xue Li tapped the edge of her bowl with the tip of her chopsticks and said," What are you panicking for? It's rare for us to have a meal together. Can't you just sit with your sisters? There are guests here, so can't you behave yourself?" Sujuan said," When will I be a lady? Aren't you guys annoying?" Xue Li slapped Su Juan in front of everyone, and the atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became tense.
