There is such a sentence used to describe the rhythm of life of the French:
Work in spring, vacation in summer, strike in autumn, holiday in winter.
The "winter holiday" is especially evident in the students at school. In addition to the summer vacation from July to September every year and the two-week Easter vacation in spring, students also have a one-week autumn vacation from the end of October to the beginning of November every year. holidays, a two-week Christmas break at the end of December, and a two-week winter break in February.
In addition, the "Victory Day" on November 11th every year will also be a holiday. If it falls on Thursday, it will be released directly on Friday and the weekend. It can be said that it is really "very French".
The Christmas holiday is connected with the New Year, and it is the most celebrated one of the big and small holidays in autumn and winter.
In France, Christmas Eve is to be spent with the family. It is a very private and warm holiday with a strong religious meaning, while New Year’s Eve is used by French people who like all kinds of parties and parties to revel in the night and let themselves go. of.
The New Year's Eve carnival at the "No. 6 Little Jasmine Road" bar was also held as scheduled.
Jiang Bai brought two glasses of cocktails from the bar to the round table in the center of the hall, handed one of them to Liu Ganxing, and sat down on the chair beside him. Since the two met in the bar a few days ago, Liu Ganxing has been running here every day, getting acquainted with Jiang Bai, Fang Yuan, and Chen Lijie very quickly.
In a city in a foreign country, people who speak the same language are more likely to become friends. This is an unchangeable fact.
Besides, Liu Qianxing's personality and appearance are also very pleasing, that baby face is cheerful every day, and he acts and speaks with a very obvious student spirit. He is childish and simple in nature, but he likes to pretend that he has been on the battlefield. But this kind of pretense is not malicious at all, it just wants to appear more mature in front of the person he admires.
Yes, both Fang Yuan and Chen Lijie could tell that Liu Ganxing admired Jiang Bai.
Maybe it's because of Jiang Bai's voice, maybe it's because of Jiang Bai's face. But men are intuitive animals, whether it is because of their looks or their voices, they can understand this seemingly hasty admiration, and know that this admiration may actually become the starting point of a relationship.
Even when Jiang Bai and Yabu saw each other right at the beginning, to put it bluntly, it was just because they admired each other's certain advantages.
Fang Yuan privately urged Jiang Bai and Liu Ganxing to be together more than once.
One day Jiang Bai finally couldn't take it anymore, and asked him: "Two sockets, no plugs, why are they together?"
Fang Yuan was furious: "You can't stand up and attack?!"
Jiang Bai was surprised: "You even know 'attack' and 'shou'!"
Fang Yuan: ...
Jiang Bai spread his hands: "Actually, it's not that I can't be on it, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. But I don't like Liu Ganxing's, please don't think that we can just find a man and we can be together, okay? Just like you Straight men also look for girlfriends who match their own aesthetics, and we also look at how we feel about men.”
So Fang Yuan stopped his flag and drums from then on.
The bar specially invited a band to perform live on New Year's Eve, and the lighting program was replaced with a strong rhythmic flickering effect. Although the songs sung were still romantic pop music, it was much more relaxing than usual. Just the right amount of hustle and bustle for the New Year's Eve vibe.
Many students who participated in the Sino-French Salon became regular customers of this bar, and they brought their own friends to form a large group in the bar. Naturally, on this day, they will no longer be restricted in what language they use. Everyone mixes French, Chinese and English, and sits around to play "Truth or Dare". I don't know who suggested it.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter among the group of people. A French girl slapped the table and stood up, stepped over the legs of a Chinese boy beside her, and walked straight to the small round table where Jiang Bai and Liu Ganxing were.
A strange premonition suddenly rose in Jiang Bai's heart.
The French girl walked to Jiang Bai's side, leaned over quickly, and printed a fiery red lip print on Jiang Bai's face.
She turned to the crowd and yelled, "I kissed him!" before wriggling back to her seat.
Jiang Bai couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
Liu Ganxing took out a tissue, soaked it in wine, and reached out to help Jiang Bai wipe his face.
Jiang Bai stood up, walked to the group of people, and asked, "Do you mind adding me?"
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and everyone obviously welcomed him.
After playing a game, Jiang Bai was imprinted with lipstick on his face by three or four girls, and was forbidden to wipe it off. Jiang Bai borrowed lipstick from them in retaliation, threatening that if they lost, he would use lipstick to draw dicks on their faces. As a result, after playing dozens of rounds, Jiang Bai failed to catch the few girls who dared to kiss him, but he encountered several embarrassing problems and had to use fine wine to settle the matter.
"Bai! You lost again!" A French boy turned over the cards in his hand and showed them to Jiang Bai.
"Okay, let's make a request!" Jiang Bai threw away the cards in his hand, waiting for the other party's question.
The other party didn't make things difficult for him, raised his chin, and said, "Go and sing a song, but it must be something we haven't heard you sing before, a French song!"
Jiang Bai thought about it, and there was really a song he hadn't sung in the bar recently, so he got up like a fluke, walked onto the stage and said a few words to the band. With Chen Lijie's consent, Jiang Bai obtained the right to use the stage without hindrance.
People who often come to the bar already know Jiang Bai. As soon as he entered the stage holding the guitar, there was thunderous applause from below, and some people blew sharp whistles.
Jiang Bai cast a wink at the audience, causing a lot of screams, and then he started playing and singing.
The tactful words in French rolled gently on the tip of his tongue, and with the melody like the tinkling of elf wings, formed a beautiful and indomitable ballad:
"I want to see all the scenery of life, give everything and try everything, and continue to believe in tomorrow."
"Why not be the protagonist in the book, even if the road is long and far away."
"I want to do my best, even against all odds."
"I'm going to fight for my dreams—"
Jiang Bai drank a lot of wine in the game before, and the light from the bar hit his eyes, forming large and colorful plaques. He couldn't see how clear and blurred his eyes were at the moment, two extreme emotions mixed in his obsidian eyes, it was simply breathtaking.
If it weren't for the funny lip prints on his cheeks, everyone would believe that an elf from the dark night had descended on the bar that night.
Jiang Bai sang the whole song, and the tune under his fingers started again, playing again from the starting point of reincarnation.
This time, he sang the same song in Chinese:
"That year in a hurry, how many times did we say goodbye before procrastinating."
"It's a pity that who has ever loved is not an eloquent debate on the Seven Emotions..."
Music has no borders. Even though many French people present could not understand what was sung in the lyrics, they could clearly feel that the aura around the elf with black hair and black eyes had changed.
The same tune and the same rhythm suddenly changed from being brave in chasing dreams to being extremely fragile.
Jiang Bai stood in the center of the stage, and the audience as far as he could see was covered in darkness by the lights. He slowly closed his eyes, indulged his emotions into the singing, and his fingers began to tremble slightly involuntarily.
The sound of the guitar music gradually stopped without knowing it, and Jiang Bai's slightly nasal a cappella echoed in the bar.
"If goodbye can't be red-eyed, can you still be red-faced? Just like the beautiful rumor that we were together forever..."
Yabu pushed open the door of the bar in the quietly falling first snow, and what he saw was Jiang Bai standing on the stage singing with his eyes closed. Jiang Bai's singing voice and face are exactly the same as those that have appeared in his mind almost every day in the past month, but they are more vivid than what he missed. Yabu has never tried to miss someone so much, and Jiang Bai is the first in his life.
Suddenly, Yabu's breathing stopped for a moment. He caught a line of tears on Jiang Bai's face, from under the trembling eyelashes across his cheeks, past the lip marks left after the carnival, and extending to the shadow of his chin, reflecting a bright light in the flickering festival lights.
Yabu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He threw down the mountaineering bag behind his back, walked through the crowd in a few steps, jumped onto the stage, and hugged Jiang Bai in his arms.
Jiang Bai is still singing: "If the past still..."
The following lyrics were blocked by Yabu's kiss.
Yabu pushed Jiang Bai against the wall behind the stage, and kissed his lips almost greedily, like a lion that hadn't eaten for several days, with a ferocity that should not be approached by strangers, he encircled Jiang Bai in his arms like a food protector inside.
Liu Ganxing got up suddenly from his seat, Fang Yuan slammed the beer bottle on the table. Chen Lijie raised his head from behind the bar, and when he saw this, he immediately stepped forward to call for the band to save the stage, then stepped forward and together with Fang Yuan, pulled Yabu and Jiang Bai, and dragged them off from behind the stage.
The lead singer of the band is a master who can control the atmosphere. He looked back at Chen Lijie and the others, stood on the stage and made some jokes, and drew the attention of the guests in the bar back to the stage, and chose another cheerful and passionate song. The unexpected chaos just now was quickly settled.
Jiang Bai was helped by Fang Yuan into the bathroom of the small suite on the second floor to wash his face. In the outer bedroom, Chen Lijie crossed his hands and stared angrily at Yabu, the instigator.
Yabu's eyes were fixed on the bathroom door.
"What are you looking at? You ran away without saying a word, and didn't tell us! The main reason is that you didn't tell Jiang Bai! Now tell me, are you just using him as a bed partner? Think Sleep once or twice and stop playing?" Chen Lijie asked.
Yabu was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "I never told you guys when I went out before."
Chen Lijie thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. Yabu used to travel all over the world, and would mention it to them occasionally, but most of the time, like this time, he disappeared suddenly without saying a word.
"Well, it's normal if you don't tell us." He said helplessly, "But why didn't you tell Jiang Bai? Or disappeared the next day after you slept! I planned to match you two, didn't you I want to send him to bed to torment you!"
This time, Yabu remained silent for a longer period of time. He waited until the sound of water and vomiting in the bathroom gradually subsided before he spoke: "I also realized today...he is different."
Chen Lijie helped his forehead: "So, you only regarded Jiang Bai as a bed partner before?"
Jacob admitted: "Yes."
Fang Yuan's explosive voice came from the bathroom: "Fuck!"
Jiang Bai grabbed Fang Yuan who was about to rush towards Yabu: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, there is no need to fight, good boy!"
He is quite awake now, his head is still a little dizzy, and he can hear the buzzing sound, but his thinking is still clear, and he can understand what is going on right now.
Fang Yuan wanted to rush towards Yabu.
Jiang Bai was already unstable, so he staggered and staggered on the clothes basket outside the bathroom door. After kicking the clothes basket down, he didn't maintain his center of gravity, and knelt directly to the ground.
Yabu stepped forward to hold Jiang Bai's arm and stabilize him.
Fang Yuan supported Jiang Bai's other arm, and after making sure that Jiang Bai was standing still, he turned around and punched Yabu in the face.
Yabu moved his hand subconsciously, and blocked Fang Yuan's fist.
Jiang Bai pressed his forehead and said angrily: "Stop making trouble! Quiet me!"
The two fell silent immediately.
"Fang Yuan, you...you and Lijie are going out, I have something to say to Yabu." Jiang Bai said.
"What else do you have to say to him!" Fang Yuan was furious.
Jiang Bai did not answer.
Chen Lijie held Fang Yuan's shoulders and coaxed him out of the door with good words.
