Chapter 80 The Love of My Life
Jiang Yishu lowered her head and ate obediently.
Chen Jianghe turned around and bit open the cap of the soda bottle with his teeth. He gulped down a big mouthful, burped refreshed, and then asked Jiang Yishu, "Do you want me to feed you the soda?"
"No, no." Jiang Yishu rarely rejected his kindness.
"Okay, then you drink it yourself." Chen Jianghe didn't force her. He handed her the soda and the remaining five meatballs.
"Aren't you going to eat anymore?" Jiang Yishu asked.
"It's boring to eat by yourself. I prefer watching you eat."
Chen Jianghe took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up and moved to the side, smoking intermittently, staring at Jiang Yishu with squinted eyes.
"Going shopping with this girl is like being in first love, or like a brother taking his sister out. It's a wonderful feeling."
"What would it feel like if I came out with Teacher Xu?"
Chen Jianghe was full of thoughts in his mind, and he even had a very bold idea. Fortunately, he choked on the cigarette at the critical moment and killed his evil thoughts in time.
After Jiang Yishu finished eating, Chen Jianghe took her to the clothing store to buy clothes.
According to Chen Jianghe's plan, the next steps were to have dinner, watch a movie, go to the night market, and then after midnight, the school dormitory was closed and he couldn't get in, so he found a hotel nearby, booked a room, and slept with her in his arms. It was perfect.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. When we came out of the cinema, it started to rain heavily outside.
Jiang Yishu pointed to the taxi parked outside the cinema waiting for customers and said, "Shall we take a taxi back?"
"Okay." Chen Jianghe nodded.
Chen Jianghe knew that Jiang Yishu was a little afraid to spend the night outside with him, so he naturally didn't want to force it. He raised his hand to hail a taxi, took her back to Zhongda first, and then returned to school alone.
"Damn it, God, what do you mean? The rain stopped just as I got back to school?"
When Chen Jianghe got off the car, he couldn't help but complain that the weather in eastern Guangdong was so changeable. An hour ago, the sky was covered with dark clouds, strong winds and heavy rain. Now the clouds and fog have dispersed, and the moon is bright and the breeze is refreshing. Chen felt as if he was being played by God. He was still cursing when he entered the school gate.
After the heavy rain, the breeze blowing on the face added a bit of chill. The usually bustling Guangdong University of Finance and Economics seemed exceptionally quiet at this time. There were few students walking on the road, and no one visited the dark grove. Everywhere there was the sound of raindrops sliding down the leaves, making a clattering sound.
When we passed by the West District girls’ dormitory, the familiar lively atmosphere returned.
There was a boy playing guitar and singing downstairs in the dormitory building. Chen Jianghe went closer to listen with great interest. He felt that the boy had a pretty good voice, but he chose the wrong song. He was so young, and when he sang Lo Kuan-ting's "Love of a Lifetime", his voice was only technically sound but lacked emotion.
“Nice!”
After listening to a few words, Chen Jianghe wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly he heard a few girls screaming and boys making a fuss.
"Lin Siqi, promise him, promise him!"
"Oh my?" Chen Jianghe paused, turned his head and looked around, but didn't see Lin Siqi.
"I refuse!"
At this time, a familiar voice came from the girls' dormitory. Chen Jianghe looked up and found a girl sticking her head out from a window on the fifth floor, using her hands as a megaphone and shouting, "Senior Zhou Zhefeng, I don't like you. Please don't sing downstairs in the dormitory in the future. It's okay to disturb me, but it's a bad influence to disturb other seniors' rest."
"This..." Chen Jianghe's eyes flashed, and he looked at the boy who had just played and sang by himself. He must be Zhou Zhefeng, and he couldn't help shaking his head; "There is one more sad person in this city."
"Squad leader!"
Lin Siqi suddenly shouted again.
"Hey." Chen Jianghe looked up and responded, thinking to himself, you have really good eyesight. You can actually spot an unknown spectator like me from such a distance?
After getting the response, Lin Siqi immediately ran back to the dormitory, changed his shoes, ran downstairs, and soon appeared in front of Chen Jianghe.
"Are you here to see me?" Lin Siqi ran a little hurriedly, his voice slightly panting.
"No, I'm just here to join in the fun." Chen Jianghe shook his head and said truthfully.
"Cough." Lin Siqi coughed lightly and was about to say something when Zhou Zhefeng came over with a guitar.
"Siqi, you said before that there is someone who sings a hundred times better than me. Is that him?"
Zhou Zhefeng stared at Chen Jianghe with a sharp look in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jianghe didn't even look at him.
"Yes." Lin Siqi nodded without hesitation, then extended his hand and said, "Can I borrow your guitar and microphone?"
Zhou Zhefeng was slightly startled and handed her the guitar and microphone in his arms.
Lin Siqi took the guitar and moved closer to Chen Jianghe, whispering in his ear: "Class monitor, please help and sing a few lines to dampen his spirit, so that he won't come downstairs to the girls' building to sing all the time and disturb everyone."
"She's confessing her love to you, why should I get involved?" Chen Jianghe smiled. If he hadn't had the 180,000 yuan he had just borrowed from Lin Siqi in his account, he would have slipped away long ago. Tonight's melon was neither ripe nor sweet, and it was boring to eat.
"If you help me, I'll tell you a secret." Lin Siqi whispered, "A secret that you'll definitely be interested in."
"Oh?" Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows, took the guitar from Lin Siqi's hand, plucked it a few times to tune it, cleared his throat, closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, and got into the state in an instant.
Lin Siqi stood beside Chen Jianghe, holding a microphone and staring at him without blinking.
"The love of my life."
Chen Jianghe pronounced these four words in Mandarin, then played the guitar and sang the chorus directly in Cantonese.
"The sea of suffering stirs up love and hate."
When he uttered the first sentence, Lin Siqi's eyes sparkled and he looked straight at Chen Jianghe.
At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by Lowell Lo.
The sound lingered and everyone at the scene was shocked.
In the girls' dormitory building, there was a sound of windows opening.
"In this world, it is difficult to escape fate."
The second sentence comes slowly.
"Blind date, it's so unapproachable."
"Or I should believe it's fate."
The third and fourth sentences are full of emotion without any technique. They actually give people a feeling of being brought directly into the lyrics. In just a few sentences, people want to cry.
The song itself is a bit sad, and in recent years, Stephen Chow's "A Chinese Odyssey" has swept domestic university campuses. Countless young people laughed out loud when they first watched it, and wanted to cry after watching it. The ending is coupled with the song "Love of One Life", and many sentimental men and women burst into tears.
The connotation of Stephen Chow's movie and the profound meaning expressed in Lowell Lo's song are like a line in "One Hundred Years of Solitude": All brilliant moments will ultimately be repaid with loneliness.
After Chen Jianghe finished singing, he heard sobbing coming from the girls' dormitory. Lin Siqi, who was standing in front of him, also had tears in her eyes. She thought to herself, what a sin! Zhou Zhefeng, you bastard, no wonder your confession failed. Why did you come to the girls' dormitory to sing "A Lifetime of Love" for no reason? Is it interesting to make these lovely girls cry? Can't you play some earthly music?
Zhou Zhefeng was now numb and just stood there stupidly without saying a word.
"I'm leaving now. I'll chat with you privately on QQ later."
Chen Jianghe handed the guitar to Lin Siqi, turned around and ran, completely ignoring the slightly choked shouts from the girls' dormitory: "Sing a few more lines! Sing a few more lines!"
"Sing a piece of shit. If you sing a few more lines, I'm afraid you'll carry me into the dormitory, and you'll all be vying to give birth to my children."
Chen Jianghe runs faster than a rabbit.
When I returned to the dormitory, QQ was beeping. Liu Dongliang, who was sitting in front of the computer, looked at the familiar, constantly jumping avatar. He wanted to click it to take a look, but he kept his hand under control and said calmly to Chen Jianghe who had just walked into the dormitory:
"Jiang He, your QQ message."
