Chapter Eighteen: Oranges

The girl singing on the small stage has a hoarse voice, which makes people feel inexplicably comfortable. It feels like it is tickling their hearts, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, making people addicted to it and unable to stop.

Chen Xi introduced Su Li, "Her name is Juzi. She is a singer that Uncle Xu hired from other restaurants. She is very popular."

Su Li looked at the orange and felt an inexplicable fondness in her heart. She couldn't explain the reason. Maybe it was because she sang well, maybe because she was different, or maybe because she looked so lonely.

, just like myself who has grown up along the way.

Orange quickly finished singing a song, and when he went down to rest, a piece of comfortable light music played.

More and more customers gradually came to the restaurant, all of whom were mature in age, wearing gold and silver, or having a good temperament. The two of them looked like daughters who came to eat with them.

Not long after, another girl came on the stage.

This girl was wearing a dress embroidered with sequins, gold eyeshadow, and her eyelashes were curled up, looking a little exaggerated. If you look closely, you will see that she is Tong Xiaofei.

Su Li opened her mouth in surprise and asked Chen Xi, "She was also invited by your Uncle Xu?"

Chen Xi shook his head, equally surprised, "I haven't heard of it. I only know that I invited the famous Orange."

Tong Xiaofei stood on the stage and did not see the two of them. She sang confidently and proudly, her voice was very sweet, and her style was completely different from that of Orange.

Su Li didn't know that she could actually sing, and she sang well. She couldn't help but want to applaud her.

Tong Xiaofei suddenly saw Su Li and Su Li on the stage. She was surprised and confused. She sang slightly out of tune, which made several guests a little dissatisfied. The waiter also looked over and frowned slightly.

Fortunately, she found her tune quickly and managed to finish the song.

Orange came back on stage, and his hoarse voice brought everyone into a new experience. Tong Xiaofei's little mistake just now was suddenly forgotten by everyone.

The song being sung has a slightly melancholy tone, and Orange's hoarse voice sings it with a sense of vicissitudes, the kind that has gone through all kinds of hardships, "You are my most bitter wait/make me happy but afraid of the future/you

I love to say that you are like a piece of dust that occasionally floats into my eyes mischievously/I would rather I cry than let me love you/You are really like dust disappearing in the wind/You are my most painful choice/Why do you never

Don’t give up wandering/The sea is so inseparable from you/You always bring back pockets full of sand to me/It’s rare to see me but then leave me/Let the sand falling from your hands be like the flow of tears/Blowed by the wind

Sand falls in my sad eyes/Everyone can see that I am waiting for you/The sand blown by the wind accumulates in my heart/The traces that no one can erase/The sand blown by the wind passes through all memories/Everyone knows me

I’m thinking of you/The sand blown by the wind is crying/Could separation have been predicted long ago/You are my most painful choice..."

Those who listened to it had tears in their eyes.

Su Li asked Chen Xi, "What is the name of this song?"

Chen Xi shook his head, "I don't know, let's go and ask later." Just after he finished speaking, a sweet voice sounded, "Song title "Crying Sand""

Su Li and both of them looked at the person who said the name of the song, it was Tong Xiaofei.

She smiled and sat down on the empty seat next to Chen Xi, "Why do you come here to eat?" When she asked this, she glanced at Su Li with a very unfriendly look.

Su Li and Tong Xiaofei had a good relationship at first when they were roommates in the third grade of junior high school. Later, they discovered that their personalities were very different, and they gradually grew apart.

Later, Tong Xiaofei would be lazy every time she was on duty, and Su Li would often be left to do everything by herself. At first she tolerated it, but then she couldn't help but say a few words to Tong Xiaofei, and she became extremely angry and responded in various ways.

, the relationship between the two became tense, and other small conflicts continued, and it gradually turned into a hostile relationship.

Chen Xi knew that they "didn't like each other". It wasn't Su Li who told her, but she overheard Tong Xiaofei mention it while chatting with her classmates during class.

Chen Xi had always been on Su Li's side and ignored Tong Xiaofei. Now he saw that she was smiling nicely sitting next to him. As the saying goes, "Don't hit the smiling person with your hand," so he politely replied, "We are here to share the meal."

Wan asked, "Why are you here singing?"

Tong Xiaofei couldn't hide her pride, "Juzi brought me here, and I will come every weekend from now on."

Chen Xi was surprised, "Do you know her?"

Tong Xiaofei nodded, "After I graduated from junior high school, I went to work part-time at Nine Zero Bar. I met her at that time, and she treated me very well." After saying this, Jue Zi just finished singing the song and came off the stage, walking towards them,

He sat in the empty seat next to Su Li.

The comfortable light music sounded again, and Su Li smelled a nice perfume, coming from the deserted and unique Orange. She was so close to her at this moment, which made Su Li feel nervous inexplicably. She stiffened her body and didn't know what to do with her hands.

How come you put it away?

Juzi seemed very casual and natural. She leaned back in the chair and asked Tong Xiaofei, "Are you a friend?" Her voice was as hoarse as when she sang.

Tong Xiaofei replied, "Classmate."

Classmates and friends are different.

None of the four people spoke again, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Juzi sat there and looked out the window, probably a little bored. She took out a pack of cigarettes from the small bag she carried with her, lit it skillfully, picked it up and took a puff, exhaling a faint ring of smoke.

In the smoke, her eyes were as blurry as a traveler who had lost his way.

This was the first time Su Li saw a girl smoking in real life. She was a little shocked, a little disgusted, and a little disappointed. All the good feelings she had for her suddenly disappeared.

Su Li doesn't like people who smoke, whether they are boys or girls.

At this time, the phone rang. It was her father's call. She looked out the window and realized that it was already very dark outside. The street lights were all on. The cars on the road were speeding like arrows, dragging out long silver lines.

line.

She picked up the phone and said before the other party could speak, "Dad, I'm going back."

"Yeah." Dad only responded and hung up the phone. You could feel that he was a little angry.

Su Li looked at Chen Xi and whispered apologetically, "I have to go back first."

Chen Xi nodded to express his understanding, smiled politely at Tong Xiaofei and Juezi, "Then let's go first." After saying that, he stood up and motioned for Su Li to go with him.

Orange waved to them, using the hand holding the cigarette. The white smoke from the cigarette formed a graceful gesture in the air as she waved, which was very beautiful. "Walk slowly." She seemed to be in the air.

Saying goodbye to an old friend, there was no unnatural feeling of strangeness at all.

Like a person who has been struggling in society for many years, she no longer has the shyness and innocence that she should have at her age.

Su Li felt that they were from two different worlds and would never intersect.

She followed Chen Xi out of her seat and walked downstairs. She didn't go far when she heard Tong Xiaofei say behind her, "That girl was my former deskmate, a very annoying person."

Orange said "Oh" and didn't respond much.

Su Li frowned and went downstairs step by step. When she reached the first floor, she happened to meet Chen Xi's father walking in from the door.

He was wearing a clean light blue shirt and had a gentle face. When the waiter saw him, he immediately nodded and bowed respectfully and called out, "Mr. Chen."

Father Chen didn't show any airs at all. He smiled and nodded at them, "Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Xi walked quickly to his father, "Dad, if you are fine, just drive Su Li home. Her father was urging her to go home just now."

Father Chen nodded without hesitation, "Let's go!"

Su Li didn't expect Chen Xi to ask her father to see her off, so she quickly stepped forward and waved, "Don't bother uncle. I can just take a bus or take a taxi back. It's not very far." She was never used to bothering anyone, and she always felt that she would.

I owe something and feel uneasy.

Father Chen smiled in an approachable manner, "You're welcome, get in the car, I just have nothing to do." He turned around and walked out.

Su Li wanted to say something else, but Chen Xi took her hand and pulled her towards the parking space, "Give me a chance to let my dad show off."

Su Li felt better after hearing this. She looked at Chen Xi and thanked her sincerely, "Thank you, Chen Xi, you are so good to me." She was very touched to be treated so sincerely not long after they met.

Chen Xi felt a little shy after being praised, "This is what friends should do. Who made us good friends?"
