Chapter 382 She Said
Chapter 382 She Said
The singing gradually faded away, and the crowd suddenly erupted into warm applause and cheers.
Although it was just a short song, the superb playing skills and emotional voice made the song extremely infectious.
The hand holding the strings slowly loosened, but the excitement in Tang Song's heart continued.
The song "The Wind Rises" sings about the recollection and emotion of youth, the beauty and helplessness of love, and the release and letting go of the past...
When he left the imperial capital last year, his mood was just like what he sang in the song.
The sudden heart-throb in youth, the intoxication and obsession after falling in love, and the regret and helplessness after settling down.
If the game hadn't come true, he probably wouldn't have mustered up the courage to face Bai Yueguang.
The applause gradually died down.
"Handsome guy, you play the guitar really well!" The female anchor next to him asked expectantly, "Do you want to sing a complete song?"
Just a few moments ago, her deserted live broadcast room had more than 70 online viewers, and she also received a lot of small gifts.
"Thank you, but no." Tang Song shook his head and let go of the hands that were holding Liu Qingning.
"Well, that's a pity." The female anchor shook her head regretfully, and then looked at the girl in front of him with envy.
Although she is also very cute and beautiful, with big breasts, she is more outstanding than the boys.
Not to mention that he has such a pair of flexible and beautiful hands.
If she could have a boyfriend like this, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.
Listening to their conversation, Liu Qingning, who was sitting in front of the microphone, gradually came back to her senses, and the songs of Tang Song still seemed to linger in her ears.
As a music expert, she can naturally judge Tang Song's level.
In addition to the surprise, there was also some unspeakable confusion and palpitations.
She always thought she knew Tang Song very well, but things didn't seem to be as she thought.
Liu Qingning moved her wet lips, took off the guitar, and gently handed it to the female anchor, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Liu Qingning turned around, looked into their eyes, and a bright and lovely smile appeared on her face.
"Okay, when did you secretly learn to play the guitar? You're such a good singer too, and I had no idea."
Tang Song gently pulled her hand up, "Does it sound good? Do you like it?"
"It sounds nice." Liu Qingning looked down at his slender and smooth hands, "I like it."
Tang Song's eyes were soft as he said, "I can sing any song you want to hear in the future."
Feeling the envious gazes of the girls around her, Liu Qingning's eyes trembled.
She turned her head and changed the subject: "Hey, why did you just throw your bag on the ground? What if it gets lost?"
As she spoke, she pulled Tang Song out of the crowd and picked up the eye-catching orange gift bag and her Coach backpack on the ground.
"It's okay, it's okay. Ziying and I have been watching."
"Yeah, I can't lose it."
Liu Qingning put on her backpack again, picked up the LV gift bag, raised her head and glanced around and said, "Where are Brother Ping and Qingfeng?"
"Qingfeng is drunk, and Brother Ping sent him back to his rental house."
Zhang Xiaoni and Li Ziying explained a few words and looked at Tang Song with complicated eyes.
My impression of him changed again.
He has a handsome and tall appearance, an elegant and confident temperament, and is also very talented.
He was completely different from the silent and introverted Tang Song who followed Liu Qingning in their memories.
In the past, when Tang Song appeared next to Liu Qingning, he really looked like a supporting role.
Moreover, there has never been a confirmed relationship between the two, and they seem to be just good friends.
This is also the reason why they have always wanted to match Cheng Qingfeng and Liu Qingning.
Now seeing this picture, I completely understand Liu Qingning's intentions.
Zhang Xiaoni exhaled, gave a thumbs up and said, "Tang Song, you sang really well just now, and you played the guitar very well, too. I was stunned."
Tang Song smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I think Qing Ning sang better."
"Okay, okay, let's stop bragging to each other." Liu Qingning patted his chest and said, "Let's go, Xiaoni, Ziying, you guys are going to visit Vientiane City, right? Let's keep going."
...
The night gradually deepened and the neon lights in the distance flashed brightly.
Liu Qingning still had a warm and joyful smile on her face. She walked side by side with Tang Song, Zhang Xiaoni and others, talking about the surrounding buildings and scenery.
After passing the Houhai subway station and walking forward for a while, the brightly lit and crowded Shenzhen Bay MixC came into view.
"Hey, Qingning, there's a light show going on at Qingning Building tonight!" Zhang Xiaoni patted Liu Qingning's shoulder and pointed her finger, saying, "It's worthy of being a landmark building in Shencheng Bay. It's really beautiful!"
The four of them looked up at the towering skyscrapers in the distance.
Dark green and white lights interweave, flickering and flowing regularly along the contours and lines of the building, like the dynamic effect of data transmission in the network.
The building's facade uses lights to simulate the images of code and chip operation, presenting a unique visual landscape in the dark night.
"It's so beautiful!" Liu Qingning stood beside Tang Song, looking at the tall building with the same name as her with shining eyes.
Then, her body trembled, and a slender big hand appeared on her waist.
After hesitating for a moment, she still did not break free, but subconsciously straightened her chest and tightened her abdomen to hide the fat on her waist as much as possible.
The four of them stood in the bright and warm square of MixC and watched the light show for a full 5 minutes.
Li Ziying suddenly asked, "By the way, Qing Ning, are you still going to visit Vientiane City with us?"
Liu Qingning smiled and raised the gift bag in her hand, then shook her head and said, "I won't go, I already have a new bag."
"Okay." Li Ziying nodded and pointed to the LV gift bag in her hand, "Open it and let us see. I'm curious about which one Tang Song gave you."
Zhang Xiaoni agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, open them and take a look. The gifts have been delivered for more than half an hour, and it's quite quiet here now, so open them."
Liu Qingning glanced at Tang Song and nodded slightly.
Put the gift bag on the stone bench and carefully take out the gift box from it.
Gently lift the lid.
What I saw was a bag wrapped in a white cloth bag, which looked quite small in outline.
Reach out and pick up the exquisite bag.
Li Ziying blurted out: "Capucines Mini?"
As LV's most distinctive, charming and value-preserving handbag series, the classic shape is very recognizable.
It is also a luxury handbag that most girls dream of.
Liu Qingning looked at the exquisite and gorgeous bag in her hand, her eyes slightly dazed.
The whole bag exudes a light green and rose color, the texture of the crocodile leather is clearly visible, and it gleams a soft and charming luster under the light.
Under the light, the diamond buckle reflects a dazzling light, which contrasts with the texture of the crocodile leather, exuding luxury and nobility.
This bag matches her name very well and also fits her aesthetic.
The problem was, it cost more than she had imagined.
"Um, this is... the crocodile leather series cap mini?" Li Ziying was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to examine it carefully, then looked at Tang Song in surprise and said, "It's the blue silk rose diamond buckle crocodile leather model. I've seen it at this counter in Vientiane City."
Zhang Xiaoni asked curiously, "It looks really beautiful. How much is this one?"
She didn't know much about luxury goods. She only knew the approximate models, but had no idea about the specific amounts and complex styles.
Li Ziying spit out a number: "The counter price is 23."
"Mr. Duo? Twenty-three... ten thousand?" Zhang Xiaoni blinked, looked at the bag, then at Tang Song, her expression a little dazed.
Although they earn a lot and have company shares, they all come from ordinary families.
The consumption and value concepts they have developed over the years make them reluctant to buy luxury goods of this level.
Even if Li Ziying cashed out 480 million yuan in cash and asked her to spend more than 20 yuan to buy a bag, she would definitely not be willing to do so.
Liu Qingning took a deep breath, raised her head and looked into Tang Song's eyes.
Their eyes met, without any concealment or blocking.
She saw honesty, tenderness, love, and...guilt.
"Tang Song, you are really willing to spend money!" Li Ziying said with eyes wide open, "Could this bag be bought from the counter in Shenzhen Bay MixC? I saw this model in stock in the store last week."
Tang Song pursed his lips and nodded.
At this moment, Liu Qingning suddenly interrupted with a smile, "I seem to have drunk too much tonight, and my head hurts a bit. Tang Song, please accompany me to the beach for a walk. Ziying, Xiaoni, it's getting late, and Vientiane City will be closed soon, so you should go shopping first."
"Oh, okay, then you guys be careful." Zhang Xiaoni saw the expressions of Liu Qingning and Tang Song, and instantly understood something. She quickly pulled Li Ziying's arm and said, "Let's go in and have a look first. Bye."
"Bye." "Bye."
After watching the two figures disappear, Liu Qingning bent down slightly, carefully put the cap mini back, and stuffed it back into the gift bag.
With his head lowered, he walked eastward alone.
Tang Song took a deep breath and took a few quick steps to her side.
The two of them walked to the park in silence, walked along the path along the coast of Shencheng Bay, and passed by couples.
The humid evening breeze blew in her face, blowing her hair apart.
Tang Song hesitated for a moment and gently took her hand.
Liu Qingning looked up at him and said nothing.
Finally, the two sat down on an open lawn.
Liu Qingning gently leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered, "Tang Song."
"Ah."
"This bag is very beautiful. I like it very much. I have seen it several times in the mall before."
"As long as you like it."
"You look better now than you did in middle school, and you have a great figure, too. You're really great. Also, when did you learn to play the guitar?"
Tang Song was silent for a moment and said, "University."
Based on his current understanding, the plots in the game should actually happen in reality.
In "Male God Growth Plan", he acquired this skill through the copy before recruiting Su Yu in 2017.
That is the second half of the freshman year.
"Haha, that's amazing, I didn't even know that. But I was very busy at that time, so I really didn't know much about it. I just urged you to study."
"I was wrong for not telling you."
"Where did you get the money to buy the bag?"
Tang Song said frankly: "I made my own money. Now I have opened a live streaming company, which is doing very well. In addition, I have been trying to start a business during college, and have achieved good results. I now hold shares in some companies."
Some things had to be confessed sooner or later, and he had never thought of hiding them from her.
Hearing his words, Liu Qingning was stunned for a moment, then looked up at his eyes in astonishment.
After a long while, he was sure that Tang Song was not joking.
She suddenly asked, "Are you rich now?"
“Very rich!”
"Are you happy now?"
"happiness."
"Do you have a house?"
"Yes, I have a large flat in Yancheng."
"Oh, congratulations." Liu Qingning lowered her head and said with a smile, "I've said before that a smart and handsome guy like you will definitely have a bright future!"
Hearing her words, Tang Song let out a breath.
In the previous dream memories, the scenes that happened on the playground reappeared.
Liu Qingning hugged her bent legs with both hands and rested her white chin on her knees. "I suddenly realized that I don't seem to understand you. Oh, no, I don't understand you now."
"Qingning, I'm sorry..." Tang Song's eyes flickered and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Facing Bai Yueguang, the moment of showdown finally came, and I suddenly felt an indescribable throbbing in my heart.
"No." Liu Qingning shook her head. "I have big problems too. You are not obligated to tell me these, and I have never discovered them."
During college, she and Tang Song were separated.
Most of the time she is busy, busy with study, clubs, part-time jobs...
They only see each other occasionally during holidays.
Tang Song was no longer like he was in high school, filling the corner of her vision and surrounding her world.
Later, she began to participate in project development with Professor Wang and prepare for the "Internet+ Competition".
What followed was a difficult but fulfilling entrepreneurial journey, which compressed personal time and space to the extreme.
Thinking back carefully, she and Tang Song didn't communicate that much during these seven years.
Not even as many as Cheng Qingfeng, Zhang Xiaoni and others.
And as she grew up and gained more experience, she had clearer dreams, goals and pursuits, which became an important part of her life.
And to a large extent replaced the Tang and Song dynasties.
Only when I look back now do I realize.
I missed out on an extremely important period of growth in Tang and Song’s life.
Most of her deep impressions of him still remain from high school.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Qingning suddenly raised her head and asked, "Xiao Song, do you have a girlfriend?"
Tang Song said with difficulty: "I'm not lying to you, there is."
Liu Qingning's breathing stagnated, and she opened her eyes wide. "Ha, I knew it. You are so outstanding now, there must be no shortage of suitors. Oh, seeing that you are living so well now, I am really happy for you. When I am not busy, I will go to Yancheng to visit you, see your big house, and see the girl you like."
"I'm sorry Qing Ning. A lot of things have happened to me since I left the imperial capital. In short, I am sorry for you."
"Why say sorry?" Liu Qingning pursed her lips and said stubbornly, "I am nothing to you. We have always been friends."
In the dim light, her face looked unusually pale.
"I like you." Tang Song whispered, "I have liked you since I was a child. I have liked you for many, many years. Because of your words, 'See you at the top', I have been working very hard all these years."
They stared at each other for a long time.
The beautiful and bright eyes began to mist up.
"Patta, patta——" crystal tears fell one by one.
His three "likes" finally broke through her defenses.
Liu Qingning's lips moved, but in the end she couldn't hold back and sobbed with her head down.
The pain came flooding in, and with it came a deep sense of regret.
Subconsciously, she always regarded herself as the core of their relationship.
Coupled with the inherent thinking formed in middle school, she felt that Tang Song should be "dependent" on her.
So she took it upon herself to make life plans for them and urged herself and Tang Song to move forward.
And she never expressed her love clearly, she just treated him as a good friend.
Coupled with her busy work and study, she neglected some important issues.
Tang Song is also an independent and complete individual with his own emotional appeals.
Perhaps in the process of getting along with me and constantly worrying about gains and losses, his love was also fading.
Liu Qingning raised her head and looked at him with tearful eyes.
Tang Song took a deep breath and was about to say something.
Then, a familiar smell came to my face.
The hot cherry lips blocked the words he was about to say.
Her first kiss was salty, astringent and sweet.
"Plop-plop-"
Tang Song's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated as he looked at the white moonlight right in front of him.
Liu Qingning stared stubbornly with her round eyes, tears still rolling down her cheeks.
The strands are as bright as diamonds and as beautiful as shooting stars.
She originally thought that as long as he was happy and the girl he liked was better than her, she would be relieved.
But when the time comes, I find that love is really a monster.
Just as she thought when facing Teacher Wang's question.
She had been planning their future since she graduated from high school and had put all her efforts into it.
How could she let it go so easily?
She is really not reconciled!
Even though his current girlfriend is Su Yu, she is unwilling to accept it!
The clear pain coming from his lips brought Tang Song back to his senses quickly.
"If I tell you now that I like you too, and I like you very much, do we still have a chance?"
She said stubbornly.
