Those Love Songs We’ve Sung Together

Chapter 8: the brightest star in the night sky

Views:

The last day of winter vacation for students in Paris just in time for Valentine's Day. On this day, the bar of "No. 6 Little Jasmine Road" was decorated with roses and pink balloons everywhere, and the main drink was replaced by pink strawberry lychee sparkling wine. The sweet French chanson played by female voices was played on the bar's stereo, and the atmosphere was rendered even more charming under the pink lights.

But this evening, there were actually not many guests in the bar. Couples who are in the courtship period or the ambiguous period sit in twos and threes on some narrow round tables, so as to shorten the distance between each other. The legs are touching under the table, and when you put your arms on the round table when talking, you can feel the breath of the other party.

It is indeed a more suitable location for Valentine's Day.

Fang Yuan stubbornly held a cup of banana milkshake, and checked the time on his phone from time to time.

"The two of them have been up for more than an hour, why haven't they come down!"

Chen Lijie rolled his eyes at Fang Yuan's stupid question, and didn't want to talk to him.

Silewei took out two bottles of lychee water from the small warehouse behind the bar, and when passing by the bar, she approached Chen Lijie, gave him a superficial kiss, and then turned around to take orders for customers.

Fang Yuan broke down: "Can you take care of the single dog's mood!"

Chen Lijie said: "No. As a single dog, you came to the bar tonight to ask for dog food."

Fang Yuan yelled, "Ah—why haven't Xiaobai and Yabu come down!"

A girl from the Sino-French Exchange Salon next to her listened happily, and finally couldn't help interjecting: "They just came back from Switzerland an hour ago, and there is a small concert tonight, so don't dress up, get ready? Besides ... Even if they come down, it's nothing to you. They're just a couple!"

Fang Yuan bumped his head on the bar counter depressedly.

upstairs.

Jiang Bai finally managed to take a shower, walked to the bedroom with some vain steps, gave Yabu who had buttoned his shirt a hard look, and said, "If I believe you again, I'll eat the guitar!"

Yabu turned his head and pointed to the clothes he had chosen for Jiang Bai on the bed: "This is not bad, we have to hurry up and go downstairs, otherwise the best performance time will be delayed."

Jiang Bai was angry: "Who is to blame?!"

Even though he complained like this, he still quickened his movements, put on his costume, and began to straighten his hair in front of the mirror. Suddenly, he found a red... uh, hickey on the side of his neck that looked like petals.

"Yabu!" Jiang Bai went crazy, "What is this?!"

Yabu smirked twice, and replied, "Didn't you say you wanted a rose on the return train?"

Jiang Bai: ...

A few minutes later, the wooden door at the end of the bar corridor opened, and Yabu and Jiang Bai came out from inside.

Yabu was wearing a dark blue shirt covered in glitter powder, which shone like a star in the flickering lights of the bar. Jiang Bai is wearing a white shirt, but it looks extremely gorgeous because of the complicated patterns embroidered with gold thread on the shoulders.

Both of them carried guitars in their hands, and the appearance caused cheers from the audience.

Jiang Bai followed Yabu onto the stage, turned slightly sideways, and gently twirled the strings.

Yabu didn't say much, he held the guitar and played a string of clear notes with his fingers. Subsequently, Jiang Bai joined his chord.

Yabu opened his mouth and sang deep Chinese.

"Can you hear the brightest star in the night sky? The person looking up, the loneliness and sigh in my heart..."

Jiang Bai followed closely.

"The brightest star in the night sky, can you remember the figure who once walked with me and disappeared in the wind..."

There was silence off the stage, and almost everyone looked at the two on stage. Even though many of them do not understand Chinese, it does not affect their appreciation of the extremely beautiful tune of this song, nor does it affect their understanding of the surging emotions of Yabu and Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai and Yabu looked at each other on the stage, looked at the light in each other's eyes, and followed the tunes in each other's mouths.

It seems that a shooting star suddenly flashed across their minds, blessed to their hearts, and they seemed to understand the meaning of love at this moment.

In each other's eyes, they saw the heartbeat of their first meeting, saw their tenderness on the first night, saw the pain of missing each other across thousands of mountains and rivers, and saw the joy of being connected with each other.

And the Luxembourg Gardens where they walked hand in hand for the first time, and the art exhibition they went to see at the Pompidou together... Like all the stupid travelers, they had people draw couple's heads at the head painting stalls on the banks of the Seine; One weekend they stood on the stands of the castle in the Loire and shouted loudly, and were caught and reprimanded by the manager...

They went to Switzerland to see the snow-capped mountains together, and lived in a bed and breakfast at the foot of the mountain. In the bed, in the bathroom, in the starry sky reflected in the hot spring in the garden...

They used the unfamiliar language and the simplest vocabulary to tell each other everything.

The tune has not changed, Yabu's eyes are a little darker, and the lyrics in his mouth are changed to French.

Jiang Bai was stunned, and immediately understood the other party's intentions.

He raised the corners of his lips, and finished the song with Yabu—

That flash is your star, far away in the heart of heaven.

Those who dream of it are willing to do anything for it.

Your star that streaks across is higher than the sky.

It's time to smile, make a wish and turn away.

I see it starry in the Milky Way,

It lights up your life.

Give you the courage not to lie again,

To seek the meaning of life.

The star so fragile and helpless,

Get lost in the city lights.

your star across the sky,

Make a wish and turn away.

Your shining star is far away in the heart of heaven.

When lamenting and lamenting, it flies to infinity.

The star that guides your steps leads to the sky.

It only takes a second to speak clearly.

I see it starry in the Milky Way,

Its light illuminates your life.

Give me the courage to stop lying,

To seek the meaning of life.

The star so fragile and helpless,

Get lost in the city lights.

your star across the sky,

Make a wish and turn away.

That flash is your star, far away in the heart of heaven.

Those who dream of it are willing to do anything for it!
