It was early evening, and the night of City A was particularly lively. Today happened to be Valentine's Day. There were many couples walking on the street. Some were laughing, and some were playing. Only Zhou Manchun was so lonely.
In fact, today was not only the three-year anniversary of Zhou Manchun and Zhao Tianyu's relationship, but also a day that made Zhou Manchun's heart ache. Four years ago today, her best friend left the world forever because of a car accident.
Everything seemed to be cursed. Zhou Manchun suddenly felt that she hated this day very much.
A gust of wind blew, and Zhou Manchun looked around with confused eyes. She wore a one-shoulder embroidered dress when she went out today, and suddenly felt a little cold.
She didn't want to go home, nor did she want to find someone to complain. She just wanted to be alone.
Not sad, she was not sad at all. She was just a little disappointed and unwilling. Zhou Manchun didn't understand why Zhao Tianyu betrayed her at all. She didn't even know how long he had betrayed her.
In these years, Zhou Manchun and Zhao Tianyu studied abroad together. Zhao Tianyu cared for her very much, just like a little princess in the palm of his hand. After graduation, Zhao Tianyu returned home, while Zhou Manchun continued to study in the UK and returned home one year later than Zhao Tianyu.
Maybe the problem of their relationship was because of the long-distance relationship. After all, men were animals that thought with the lower half of their body.
Zhou Manchun blinked. Her eyes were so dry that she had an impulse to cry.
Walking and walking, she didn't know when she came to the most prosperous bar street in City A.
Looking at the bright neon lights, Zhou Manchun smiled and shook her head. There was a little helplessness in her smile. She walked into the "Queen's Bar". The music was deafening, as if it could make people forget all their troubles and wander here freely.
In the Queen's Bar, a group of young men and women were dancing close to each other. The music was so loud that it resounded through the sky. As far as the eye could see, there were pairs of handsome men and beautiful women.
"Well, let's find the luckiest lady tonight. Let's ask the cameraman to sweep the camera. Three, two, one, please look at the big screen!" The uplifting sound of the DJ suddenly came to an abrupt end, and the passionate voice of the host suddenly came to their ears.
On the huge screen, Zhou Manchun's enlarged face was suddenly reflected.
Zhou Manchun was shocked. Why was she on the big screen? She was confused, but the spotlight was already on her.
All eyes were on her. Zhou Manchun felt her cheeks burning, and she felt very uncomfortable. The crowd automatically made way for her, just like the path of a princess to the castle in a fairy tale.
"We have found our Lady of Luck tonight. Let's give a round of applause. Let's invite the Lady of Luck to come on stage and sing a song for us." The host made the atmosphere reach its climax.
Zhou Manchun rubbed her skirt awkwardly. What was going on? It couldn't be such a coincidence that she won the lottery on her first visit to the bar. What did he mean by singing a song? Did he get her permission?
"Go quickly."
"Yeah, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go."
The surrounding crowd suddenly became restless. Zhou Manchun lowered her eyes and had to bite the bullet and walk to the stage.
She came to the side of the host. Seeing that Zhou Manchun was confused, the host knew that she was a newcomer, so he introduced the rules of the game to her. It turned out that the person chosen by the cameraman could be exempted from the bill tonight, but the condition was that she had to sing a song.
Zhou Manchun was a little shy. She didn't like to sing in public. She saw a black tripod piano on the front left of the stage. An idea came to Zhou Manchun. She took the microphone and said, "I'm not very good at singing. How about playing a song for everyone?"
When the crowd heard this, they looked at each other and exchanged information with their eyes. The host saw that the audience's reaction was enthusiastic, so he agreed.
Zhou Manchun walked gracefully to the piano and opened the lid. She had been learning the piano since she was three years old. She passed the performance grade in the third grade of primary school. Her parents had always wanted to train her to be a pianist, but a sudden accident four years ago made Zhou Manchun never touch the piano again. Although she hadn't played the piano for a long time, every note and every key was deeply imprinted in her mind.
Her slender and soft fingers gently pressed down, and the piano produced a beautiful prelude, like the cautious mood of a young girl in love.
The audience was intoxicated by it. Zhou Manchun had thought that she would never be able to play the piano again. Her heart was sad, so she didn't want to play the piano anymore, except for the song "Stars."
"Stars" was a song that Zhou Manchun wrote when she was 15 years old. It was a gift for her best friend.
On the lower left of the stage, in a hidden position, a man wearing a custom-made Italian suit suddenly stared at Zhou Manchun. His handsome face had a layer of indifference and alienation, and there seemed to be a secret hidden in his long and narrow eyes.
There was actually someone in this world who could play this song.
Suddenly, the man waved at the bar manager. The manager immediately trotted over and stood in front of the man with an obedient look.
"Charm her and send her to my room." The man's thin lips were slightly pursed, and there was not a trace of emotion on his cold face.
Zhou Manchun was like the prey he had been looking for for a long time.
"Yes." The bar manager quickly nodded.
When the song was finished, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience. Everyone praised her. Zhou Manchun smiled and bowed, then went down the stage to find a quiet seat to drink.
Zhou Manchun didn't expect that after four years, she could still play the song so well. Not a single note was wrong, but she knew that her piano skills were not as good as before. This song had a special meaning to her, so she would give it to that person on this special day.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhou Manchun suddenly felt dizzy, and her mind became more and more chaotic. Soon, she felt her vision blur, and she fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Manchun suddenly woke up. She felt her whole body was cold, and she was soaking in the bathtub. She looked around in horror, then jumped out of the cold water in a hurry.
When she walked out of the bathroom, she saw a well-built man sitting on the bed. He was wearing a Zorro mask and had a bathrobe draped over him. His hair was still wet, and water droplets slid down his sexy collarbone.
When the man wearing the mask saw that Zhou Manchun had woken up, he suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Zhou Manchun. His eyes under the mask seemed to be hiding some unspeakable secret.
It was just a glance. The man just glanced at her, and Zhou Manchun felt her whole body go numb. She bit her lips, not knowing what was going on.
Cold, so cold. Zhou Manchun felt that the man's eyes carried a coldness that kept people at a distance.
