When the lights were on, Crystal Lunar seemed to have woken up from a deep sleep and welcomed the drunk people with vigor. No matter how sanctimonious a person was, they had all shed their pretense here. The vile and ugly nature of human nature seemed so real under the golden brilliance. The guests here were rich and powerful, and the ladies were naturally obedient to such a god, unless you wanted to make things difficult for money. Those explicit teasing often made Youran blush. He remembered that when he first arrived, he didn't even dare to look around when he walked, afraid that he would see something he shouldn't.
However, walking by the river often made one's shoes wet. After a few months of part-time work, Youran saw many girls go from being reserved at the beginning to completely sinking into it. It seemed that money was really the most difficult temptation to resist in the world. Therefore, a girl like Youran who kept herself clean had really become an anomaly here.
However, the bad habit of men was that what they couldn't get was the best. Therefore, every time Youran performed, the attendance rate of all corners of the hall greatly increased, and even the number of bottles opened in the bar also increased. Xiao Ya even jokingly instigated Youran to ask Xiao Yuanze for a raise. On the contrary, Youran was calm about this situation. Although she looked soft and weak, she was a girl who had her own opinions. She would never let herself fall into this whirlpool and be unable to extricate herself. Moreover, her parents 'mistakes made Youran no longer have any illusions about the love of a rich family. Therefore, even though the surrounding " tigers and wolves " were looking around, Youran remained unmoved and maintained her usual calmness. Coupled with Xiao Yuanze's protection, everything was fine along the way.
However, Youran seemed to be a little restless today. It was still the same hall, surrounded by countless pairs of admiring and lustful eyes. Sitting behind the white grand piano, Youran felt as if there were many ants crawling in her heart. She could not find the feeling of playing.
Would Li Yucheng really come today? Did Tang Weiqi anger him by asking him to bring it over? How was his injury? Forget it, it was better not to come! It was really the spring breeze that ruffled the water. Li Yucheng was like a curse, disturbing his leisurely and calm heart for no reason.
He accidentally made a few mistakes on the keys, but Youran was skilled and covered it up without batting an eyelid.
In fact, most of the people in the hall had other intentions, so they didn't really care about the wrong note. However, Rong Jintian, who was sitting near the piano and chatting with a few friends, clearly felt that Youran was unusual. He gently swirled the wine glass in his hand, and the amber liquid glistened under the light. His meaningful eyes stared straight at the girl behind the piano.
Today, she was wearing a white Chinese evening gown. The fitting cut outlined the soft curves of a woman. Her slender waist was not full, but it accentuated her swaying beauty. The blue-and-white porcelain design on the gown added a classical elegance to her quiet temperament. The soft light shone on her body like a layer of halo, making her look exquisite and translucent.
"Kings, are you interested in that girl?”Next to him, Johnny elbowed Rong Jintian.
Rong Jintian retracted his gaze and slightly glanced at him, saying,""What do you think?" Then, he hugged Xiao Ya, who was sitting at the side, and kissed her, causing her to be coquettish.
"Johnny, how was the arranged marriage your family arranged for you?”A burly man asked as he teased the young lady.
"The old man arranged it. What else can he do? As for women, they can be left at home as flower vases. As long as this matter suits the old man's heart, won't the rest be up to me?!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his companions laughed knowingly.
Because they were close, their conversation drifted into Youran's ears intermittently.
It was another marriage between wealthy families driven by interests. Since ancient times, marriage had been the link between the rich and powerful families to maintain the interests of the family. However, under the seemingly glorious surface, there were many unknown bitterness. Wasn't his parents a good example? For some reason, Li Yucheng's face flashed before his eyes, and he wondered what kind of marriage he would be arranged for in the future. Thinking about how a woman known as Mrs. Li would be standing beside him in the near future, Youran felt a wave of sadness in her heart.
There was another song, and the performance was about to end. Youran subconsciously glanced at the entrance of the hall, as if expecting a certain figure to appear at the door, but her rationality told her that two parallel lines would never cross.
At this moment, the emotions surging in her chest were like a flood, eager to find an exit. However, at this time and place, the only thing she could do was to use music to vent.
Xiao Yuanze had never specified what she should and should not play when Youran was playing here. He was just like a carefree and generous person, but Youran had always focused on world-famous songs. But today, she decided to give up on Wolfgang Wolfgang and Chopin and indulge herself in finding lost peace.
A sad melody sounded, and the clear and gentle low voice attracted almost everyone's attention.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the zither and drum play the flowers, and the street lights are like daytime
Joyful songs and laughter float on the bow of the ship
The hand you held can't be held forever
Only after the rain do we know that the green is fat and the red is thin
I want to get rid of my lovesickness and tears and wash my sleeves in spring
The boatman only says that it's sad to leave
The red beans you gave me will rot
Too bad no one ever told me
The cold river accompanied the fireworks, the moon accompanied the stars as if it was yesterday
But why did you leave me alone
If you think of me
Don't be ashamed that the promise was too heavy
we gather and disperse, but there's no fixed time to blame who's wrong.
He retracted his hand from the keys and let out a long sigh. The annoyance in his chest was swept away.
The group of people closest to the piano took the lead in clapping. They stood up leisurely and responded politely. Their clear eyes swept across the audience, but they met Rong Jintian's half-smiling eyes by chance. Their eyes met lightly in the air and quickly moved away. She felt suffocated. Although he looked elegant and harmless at the moment, Youran felt a chill down her spine for no reason.
