On Tuesday night, the other shops outside the north gate of Jiangcheng Media University had already finished their business for the day. Their doors were tightly shut. Other than the dim street lights, there was only the coffee shop on the corner of the street. The windows there were still warm and gentle lights.
However, even the coffee shop on the corner of the street didn't have any customers lingering around at this time. It was almost time for it to close.
"Tang Tang, didn't you say that you have homework to do tonight?" Ding Xiang's voice rang out in the coffee shop. "If there's nothing else, you can go back first!"
Sugar Cube, who was sneakily stuffing a CD into the audio console, was startled. She raised her head and looked around. When she saw that Ding Xiang, who was cleaning the dust on the bookshelf with a feather duster, didn't see her actions, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Sister Ding Xiang, but I haven't cleaned up yet!" Sugar Cube said.
"It's okay. You go do your work. I'll do it today!" Ding Xiang turned her head and smiled. "Who hasn't had a time when they can't take care of both ends? Anyway, I have nothing to do."
Of course, Sugar Cube didn't really have anything to do. When she heard Ding Xiang's words, she felt even more guilty. She said embarrassedly, "Sister Ding Xiang, I don't know what to say. You're really too kind!"
…
After Sugar Cube left, Ding Xiang put away the feather duster not long after. She went to the bathroom at the back to get a mop and started to get busy.
Although it wouldn't be too dirty if she didn't clean it for a day, Ding Xiang still inherited Yang Yi's habit of loving cleanliness. She always placed the cleanliness of the coffee shop first. She even arranged for a few part-time waitresses, including Sugar Cube, who had only been here for half a year, to take turns cleaning the shop.
After a while, Ding Xiang went to the back to change the water. However, when she came out of the bathroom with a mop in her hand, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Why did the lights in the coffee shop change?
Originally, she had turned on the normal incandescent lights to make it easier to find the dirty things on the floor. Why did it become a dim chandelier? The chandelier was used to create a romantic atmosphere for customers. At this moment, it also decorated the coffee shop with flickering shadows.
"Who? Who's there? "Ding Xiang was startled. She gripped the mop tightly and asked nervously.
Although most of the people in the university town were students and teachers, it was not a utopian paradise! Because some people with bad intentions knew that university students were easy to bully, they would also come here. There were cases of petty theft and even robbery from time to time!
Ding Xiang remembered that two years ago, a dagger was found in the bushes near the school's main entrance. That month, the entire school's students were like birds startled by the twang of a bow. At night, they obediently stayed in their dorms, not daring to go out.
Fortunately, not long after she asked, Guo Ziyi's embarrassed voice came from the bar counter. "Sister Ding Xiang, it's me …"
"Little Guo?" Ding Xiang was worried, so she grabbed the mop and walked over. Seeing Guo Ziyi scratching his head and standing at the bar counter with an awkward expression, she asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
Why would he come to the bar counter at this time? Was he trying to steal money? But Ding Xiang knew that Guo Ziyi was not short of money!
Guo Ziyi pointed at the sound console next to him and said dejectedly, "I'm playing with this, but I can't find the play button …"
Yes, he fiddled with it for a long time, but he could not make any sound. Of course, it was also because the light was too dim, so he could not see the small words on it.
Ding Xiang frowned and walked over. "Why are you fiddling with the sound system in the middle of the night? Also, you turned off the lights without telling me. "
"I … I want to sing a song for you." Guo Ziyi stammered, "But I didn't learn the accompaniment, so I recorded an accompaniment … Sugar Cube helped me put it in, but I got the wrong button."
Ding Xiang walked closer and saw the small bouquet of roses that Guo Ziyi put in the bar counter. Suddenly, she understood. Her face turned red, and the blame she had for Guo Ziyi just now disappeared without a trace. What was left was an inexplicable nervousness.
"Ah … Sing … I don't need to sing, right? I … I … "Ding Xiang had only heard about it from Murphy. When it was her turn to deal with it, she panicked. She did not know where to put her hands and feet, and said inconsistently.
Butterflies in the stomach, this phrase was the most suitable to describe Ding Xiang's mood at this moment!
Guo Ziyi was dumbfounded. He scratched his head and stammered, "Ah? Don't need to sing? Then what should I do? "
"…" Ding Xiang did not know how to answer. She was still in a state of confusion. Her face was red, and she did not dare to look at Guo Ziyi's eyes.
Guo Ziyi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth.
Finally, Ding Xiang walked over, reached out to the sound console, and pressed a button.
The accompaniment music finally sounded. At the beginning, it was a string of light electric prelude. Soon, it entered the guitar accompaniment.
"This, can I back off?" Guo Ziyi wished he could find a hole to hide in, "I didn't react in time. It's a little too much …"
Ding Xiang could only press a few more buttons. She was a little close to Guo Ziyi. She felt that her face was burning, and even her ears were burning.
She had never experienced this kind of feeling before!
In the silence of the two, the music accompaniment sounded again. This time, Guo Ziyi was prepared. He calmed himself down and waited for the electric music to stop. Then he stepped on the guitar accompaniment and began to sing. (Note 1, please be sure to watch it first)
"In the rain, at night, in this alley …"
Without the microphone, Guo Ziyi gently hummed beside Ding Xiang. His voice seemed to have become gentle. It had never been so gentle.
Ding Xiang was at a loss. She did not know if she should leave the bar counter. The two of them were squeezed in the small bar counter. They were so close that she could feel Guo Ziyi's breathing not far from her ear.
"Meeting your beautiful Miss Ding Xiang, your eyes are so soft and bright …"
This section of lyrics was very straightforward. When Guo Ziyi sang, his voice trembled. Ding Xiang could not help but tremble slightly …
At this moment, how could she not be sure of Guo Ziyi's intentions?
But her brain was already in a state of shutdown. She could only shyly lower her head and look at her toes in a daze.
Guo Ziyi sang softly. Due to the influence from earlier, he did not sing very well at the beginning. But this kind of song was sung with deep emotions. It was naturally pleasant to listen to.
"Your sigh makes me stop thinking. Your footsteps make me lose my direction. My dear lady, the night is still long. Please let me accompany you until dawn …"
Guo Ziyi could see Ding Xiang's shy expression, which stimulated his restless heart even more. He was also affected by the deep emotions contained in the lyrics. Finally, he could not help but muster up the courage to reach out and hold Ding Xiang's hand.
When Ding Xiang's hand was grabbed by Guo Ziyi, she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand. But she only trembled and did not move in the end.
The girl's heart was also a little confused at this moment. She felt that she should not pull her hand out … No, she was still struggling in her heart. But in this kind of singing, she still did not bring up the idea of pulling her hand out.
She was very flustered …
"Miss Ding Xiang has a lot of things to say to you. Miss Ding Xiang has a song to sing to you. This world has brought me too much confusion. I hope that you can give me hope …"
Guo Ziyi held Ding Xiang's hand. His mood suddenly became bright and cheerful. Even his humming voice had a trace of sweetness.
The lyrics of this song were not complicated. After repeating it a few times, Guo Ziyi finally used his most affectionate voice to slowly sing:
"… Miss Ding Xiang has a lot of things to say to you. Miss Ding Xiang has a song to sing to you. No matter where you go, I am willing to accompany you until the end of time …"
The song ended, but the accompaniment was not yet heard. It seemed that after a while, when everything became quiet, Guo Ziyi's voice sounded again.
"Sister Ding Xiang, I like you!"
