At this time, the waiter came over and handed over the menu. He said in standard Mandarin, "Sir and Miss, what would you like to order?"
Xia Jinhe took the menu and ordered skillfully, "Two filet mignon, medium well, two salmon, two Las Vegas Silver Sturgeon, two tiramisu cheesecake, and a bottle of Bordeaux wine. That's all."
After the waiter registered, he asked elegantly, "Is there anything else?"
Xia Jinhe looked at the uncomfortable Lu Yiwei and said, "Two more Cappuccinos."
"Okay, please wait a moment!" After that, he turned around and left.
After listening to Xia Jinhe's standard English, Lu Yiwei was envious and confused at the same time. He leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What was that thing you said at the end?"
Xia Jinhe laughed and said, "Coffee, do you understand? Cappuccino is Italian-style foam coffee. Then, the top is decorated with cream flowers and sprinkled with cinnamon. The aroma is amazing. You can taste it later! "
"Oh." Xia Jinhe talked for a long time, but Lu Yiwei was confused. At this time, he felt that he was a frog at the bottom of a well. Except for his own small circle, he was not willing to accept new things. It seemed that he had to learn more from Xia Jinhe in the future.
After a while, the coffee was served. Lu Yiwei imitated Xia Jinhe and stirred the coffee clumsily. Xia Jinhe saw Lu Yiwei's appearance and laughed until tears came out.
Although it was a Western restaurant, it was opened in China after all. Everything paid attention to the combination of Chinese and Western. After a while, the number of people in the Western restaurant gradually increased. Other people didn't care about the rules. Just like a roadside food stall, they chatted noisily. It was impolite and destroyed the overall atmosphere.
After eating, Lu Yiwei was sweating all over. He couldn't use a knife and fork, and the taste was terrible. Only the wine was quite tasty. Xia Jinhe's face was already red. The aroma was tempting, and under the illumination of the light, it added a touch of charm. Lu Yiwei liked Xia Jinhe's scholarly aura and elegant posture even more. When he was with Li Shu-man, apart from the daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, there was nothing else. The content of their conversation was limited to the social circle around them. When he was with Su Meng, they mostly talked about her work. There was no intertwining of emotions, and it seemed empty and powerless. However, Xia Jinhe was different. She understood Lu Yiwei's heart better. She knew what he wanted and what he wanted to hear. Moreover, she was careful to protect a man's dignity in all aspects, which allowed Lu Yiwei to find a bosom friend.
When he first got to know Xia Jinhe, she gave people a sense of distance. She was arrogant and cold, which made people look at her from afar and not want to play with her. After getting to know her, he found that she was hot-blooded and had some petty bourgeois sentiments. She didn't lose the gentleness of an intellectual woman, nor did she lose the temperament of a lady from a humble family. This was what Lu Yiwei really wanted.
Just as Lu Yiwei's imagination was running wild, Xia Jinhe and Lu Yiwei smiled mysteriously. Suddenly, they walked to the stage, talked to the pianist, and picked up the microphone. "Today is the engagement day of my boyfriend and I. I want to sing a song for him. I wish our love will last forever.
I
Fall
in
Love is dedicated to everyone. "
"Okay!" At this time, the customers under the stage shouted as if they were in a bar, and some even whistled. Xia Jinhe looked at Lu Yiwei affectionately, then lowered her head and smiled shyly. Accompanied by the piano, she slowly raised the microphone.
The lights were lit up, and a warm yellow light shone on Xia Jinhe. The crystal lamp above her head danced in the room. The elegant piano sound rose. Xia Jinhe stroked her hair and took a step forward. She showed a faint smile on her face, which charmed a lot of people. The people who were cheering just now quieted down in an instant, waiting anxiously for the beauty's singing.
When
I
fall
in
love,
it
will
be
forever.
or
i’ll
never
fall
in
love
In
a
restless
world,
I
miss
you.
…
Xia Jinhe performed the classic interlude of "Sleepless in Seattle Tonight" in standard American English. Her voice was beautiful and had a wide range. It was like walking on a path with sycamore trees on both sides and feeling the whisper in the ear of a lover. It was intoxicating. It was like being in a movie and feeling the moving love story of Sam and Annie.
At the end of the song, the crowd who was still making noise just now was immersed in Xia Jinhe's beautiful singing. After a long time, they applauded. Even the waiters were stunned. Even the restaurant owner stopped to appreciate and was intoxicated by the singing.
Xia Jinhe bowed deeply to the crowd and put down the microphone. The pianist gave her a thumbs up and she walked off the stage with satisfaction.
The customers were not satisfied and insisted that Xia Jinhe return to the stage and sing another song. Even the restaurant owner ran over and said generously, "Lady, please sing another song. It's the first time that I've met such an excellent singer like you since I opened the restaurant. Don't worry. Tonight's bill is free. I hope you can meet the needs of the customers."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lu Yiwei couldn't tell how happy he was. Xia Jinhe's excellence had become his pride. He proudly accepted the envious eyes of others.
Xia Jinhe looked at Lu Yiwei and asked for his opinion with his eyes. Lu Yiwei nodded slightly. Xia Jinhe returned to the stage and sang Anita Mui's classic song in Cantonese, "I Will Love You a Thousand Times in a Lifetime." The audience stood up and applauded desperately. At this moment, Lu Yiwei found his dignity and won the world. At this moment, he was the happiest person.
After Xia Jinhe finished singing, she ran out of the restaurant with Lu Yiwei, ignoring the angry shouts of the customers, "One more song."
Back in the car, Lu Yiwei said happily, "I didn't know that you could sing so well. You can sing better than that big star."
After getting Lu Yiwei's affirmation, Xia Jinhe said mischievously, "There are still many things you don't know. I'll surprise you later, hehe!"
Lu Yiwei's mood was unprecedentedly refreshed. He held Xia Jinhe's hand and said, "Tell me, where are we going now? I want to go crazy with you tonight. "When saying this, Lu Yiwei felt a lot younger.
"Really?" Xia Jinhe said eagerly.
"How can it be fake?"
Xia Jinhe leaned on Lu Yiwei's shoulder and said, "I want to go to the movies."
"Okay, sit tight. Let's go!" Tonight, Lu Yiwei's mood was hard to express. He kept winking at Xia Jinhe while driving.
He had been working for nearly 10 years. In these 10 years, he worked hard and never thought about changing the world and making his life more exciting. His work was old-fashioned and lifeless. His marriage was step-by-step and he obeyed the arrangements. He was immersed in his own little world. There was no craziness and passion like when he was in college. Finally, he found a girlfriend in the big city. But the distance was far, and he suffered from a one-sided love. Moreover, he was trapped in a small mountain village. His world was only to struggle and get out of his predicament. But now, it all seemed so ridiculous. Lu Yiwei truly felt that he had lived for so many years in vain. He had wasted so many years, and Xia Jinhe was the life he wanted.
When they arrived at the cinema, a Hollywood blockbuster, Titanic, was still hanging on the huge sign at the door. Xia Jinhe pointed at the billboard excitedly and said, "My favorite Jack! Yiwei, have you seen it? "
Lu Yiwei showed an awkward expression and shrugged, "I think I've heard of it, but I've never seen it."
Xia Jinhe did not dislike Lu Yiwei. She said, "That's great. Let's review the classic tonight. I also want to watch it again. Let's go!" After that, she pulled Lu Yiwei into the cinema.
In the spring of 1998, an American blockbuster, Titanic, quietly entered the major cinemas in China. This blockbuster, which was claimed to have invested 200 million US dollars, gained enough popularity in the early stage of publicity. Once it was released, almost everyone turned out to see it. It saved China's depressed film market. Many people walked in excitedly and came out with tears in their eyes. They were all amazed by the poignant love story and the shocking realistic scenes.
Lu Yiwei watched the movie with curiosity. The more he watched, the more excited he became, especially the scene where Jack and Ruth were separated by life and death. It touched his soul, and he was deeply moved. The usually strong Lu Yiwei could not help but tear up. Xia Jinhe's eyes were already full of tears, and she was crying on Lu Yiwei's shoulder.
The summer wind was refreshing. After coming out of the cinema, Xia Jinhe took Lu Yiwei's arm and walked along the bank of Tiantong River. Xia Jinhe seemed to be still in the movie. She suddenly stopped and blinked her eyes. She looked at Lu Yiwei and asked, "I'm willing to be your Ruth. Are you willing to be my Jack?"
Lu Yiwei held Xia Jinhe's face in his hands and said, "Fool, are you willing to let your Jack leave you? I prefer to be your Sam. "
Hearing Lu Yiwei's description of the song she had just sung, she smiled and said, "Then I'm willing to be your Annie, never leaving, never abandoning, never parting!"
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei suddenly hugged Lan Yue and spun her in circles. Xia Jinhe enjoyed the spinning world to her heart's content, immersing herself in this blissful love. If love had the will of heaven, it would not be far away, but in this moment. If love had the will of heaven, it would not be long, but in this life.
The starry sky was no longer lonely!
The two continued to walk forward and happened to see a barbecue stall. Lu Yiwei took Xia Jinhe's hand and ran over. He said excitedly, "I didn't have enough at the western restaurant just now. I need to eat more."
Lu Yiwei ordered a lot of food in one breath. He ate the lamb skewers, drank the beer, and enjoyed the beautiful night view. Lu Yiwei gulped down a glass of beer and said, "Our Chinese food is more practical and refreshing! Haha. "
Xia Jinhe saw a grease stain on Lu Yiwei's face. She took out a tissue and carefully wiped it off. She smiled and said, "Then let's not go in the future."
"Don't. As long as you like it, I'll go with you!" Lu Yiwei said hurriedly.
Xia Jinhe took a sip of beer and said, "Actually, I don't really want to go. I wanted to give you a surprise. I wonder if you like it?"
"Very much. Thank you!"
Xia Jinhe raised his beer and said generously, "For our future, cheers!"
