The average cost of this cafe was around 150 yuan. Located in a bustling commercial street, it was one of the best places to go for a date.
At eight o 'clock in the evening, the cafe was only a third full. In the corner facing the customers sat a man in a tuxedo, playing a famous piano piece by Richard Clay.
The customers here were in pairs of men and women. There was also a pair of young foreigners who looked like international students.
Apart from dating, normal people wouldn't drink coffee at night.
Drinking too much would make one unable to sleep.
In the quiet environment, the melodious sound of the piano played.
In Xia Qianduo's eyes, Yang Xiling, who was wearing a white dress, was sitting on a chair and waving at him. She was like a beautiful rose that bloomed with music. She was so charming.
Unfortunately, when Xia Qianduo sat down, the beautiful atmosphere turned a little awkward.
This was the first time the two met alone, and in a cafe that was very suitable for dating. Yang Xiling wasn't a girl who was good at getting along with boys. Because of the admiration in Xia Qianduo's heart, he became even more inarticulate.
After the two said hello to each other, there was an awkward silence.
Xia Qianduo braced himself and tried to find a topic to talk about, "Well, this song 'Adeline by the Water' is pretty good."
"You can understand the song he played?" Yang Xiling was a little surprised, "I listened to it for two minutes, but it sounds pretty good."
"I learned a little piano when I was a child." Xia Qianduo scratched his head.
Like many parents who wanted their children to succeed in life, Xia Qianduo's parents hired teachers for various talents and hobbies when he was very young. They hoped that in the future, their child could become a talented dragon or phoenix among people.
Unfortunately, Xia Qianduo learned from a piano teacher who was good enough to be a soloist in an orchestra for two or three years, but he could only play a beginner's song, 'Dandelion'.
His skills weren't good, but Xia Qianduo appreciated his foundation.
Awkward conversations between men and women were like this. When there was a topic to talk about, they would grab hold of it and talk about it.
Until Yang Xiling said that she had a friend who could play the violin, and was very good at it.
Xia Qianduo was shocked.
When Yang Xiling said this sentence, a happy smile appeared on her face.
That idiot's competitor had actually become so familiar with her when he wasn't paying attention?
The great sense of crisis made Xia Qian speak without thinking. "Violin … I learned it when I was young."
This wasn't a lie. Xia Qianduo had indeed learned the violin for half a month. It was just that he couldn't even play Doremi now. It was as if he hadn't learned it at all.
"Then you're really something." The smile on Yang Xiling's face faded. Xia Qianduo obviously didn't manage to hide his expression well.
No girl would like a boastful guy.
If it weren't for the waiter bringing two cups of coffee and interrupting their conversation, Xia Qianduo's face would have turned red from embarrassment.
Xia Qianduo hurriedly stirred the coffee with a spoon. He said that the mocha coffee here was very authentic. The taste would be even better if the top layer of cream was stirred in.
Yang Xiling replied with an "Oh" and started stirring the coffee like he did. Xia Qianduo, on the other hand, changed the topic to the holographic glasses.
"Are you wearing holographic glasses now?" Yang Xiling asked curiously.
Xia Qianduo subconsciously touched the glasses on the bridge of his nose, only to realize that he had forgotten to take off the holographic glasses before he went out.
The holographic glasses seemed to have unknowingly become a part of his life.
If this was the first time the two met for a "date", then according to the standard of first impression, Xia Qianduo had now been labeled as a boastful person.
Fortunately, Xia Qianduo brought the holographic glasses with him. Otherwise, Yang Xiling would most likely think, "Did he deliberately lie to me about the holographic glasses in order to get close to me?"
Xia Qianduo wanted to take off the glasses and teach Yang Xiling how to use them.
At this time, a small episode occurred. The pianist had just finished a song and was about to leave for the bar to rest. As a result, a boy at the young foreigner's table next to them stood up.
This foreigner man and woman were obviously international students. Xia Qianduo, who had gone abroad many times, was sure that they were French because they were speaking French.
This French male student must be a person who liked to show off. He ran to the pianist and whispered a few words. The pianist made a gesture of invitation to him. Then, the international student stuttered in Chinese and said to the customers, "I … want to play a song for my … girlfriend."
"Thank you, everyone."
By the time he sat down, the customers in the cafe had already applauded. The French girl's eyes were shining as she looked at her boyfriend with surprise and surprise.
This boy was a typical player who was more courageous than technical. When the music started, even Yang Xiling, a layman, could tell that he was a pure amateur who was blindly joining in the fun.
Although the music was not good, this courage and a little romance successfully attracted most of the girls in the cafe.
Some of them looked at their boyfriends with pursed lips, while others looked forward to it. They felt that if their boyfriends did something similar, how romantic it would be.
The piano attribute gave the performer an additional temperament bonus.
Even Yang Xiling was a little different. She glanced at the female international student at the next table with some envy and turned to ask Xia Qianduo, "Can you tell what the song he played is?"
"…" Xia Qianduo thought to himself, "Who can tell what the song is?" Didn't you see that the pianist next to the bar was confused?
But he couldn't say this. When he blurted out that he could play the violin, he was already faintly labeled as a boastful person. If he could say this piano piece now, wouldn't he be able to wash away the suspicion?
Xia Qianduo racked his brains but came up with nothing.
Yang Xiling also noticed the expression of the pianist next to the bar and realized that this problem was a bit difficult.
Xia Qianduo suddenly had an idea.
He remembered the guide to the six enhancements of the holographic glasses written by Green Glow.
His fingers moved twice in front of him, and a few seconds later, he showed a confident smile.
Because the instrument learning mode in the holographic glasses began.
"This is Mahler's" Symphony of the Earth Song ". This piece has a total of six movements, and he is now playing the third movement." At this moment, Xia Qianduo was possessed by the pianist's soul. His voice was confident and low, "I guess this boy must have been in the school band in junior high or high school."
"Because this song is usually played by a whole band. Obviously, this boy has not practiced for a long time. His piano skills are a bit rusty, and there are many mistakes in it."
Yang Xiling's pair of beautiful glasses that flashed a peaceful aura from time to time froze in an instant. She looked at Xia Qianduo innocently, unexpectedly, and blankly.
