Walking with An Lan in the commercial street, it feels like walking with a star.
There were all kinds of stares around me, which made me feel very embarrassed.
But An Lan was used to it, and her mood still seemed a little bad.
I smiled and said to her: "I know now that to be your boyfriend, you must have a strong heart."
An Lan knew what I meant, so she finally smiled and replied, "How about I go buy a mask and wear it?"
"No need. Although I have to have a strong heart, I can still look good on my face! Look at those envious eyes..."
An Lan smiled again and took the initiative to hold my arm.
She seems to want to tell others that the famous flower has an owner.
At this time, we passed by a street singer who was playing and singing, and there were not many people around to watch.
In fact, he sang quite well, but he chose the wrong place.
This is a commercial street, and everyone comes here to go shopping. How can they be in the mood to stop and listen to her singing?
But An Lan took me over, so she and I stood in front of the wandering singer, listening to the song quietly.
I was a little arrogant at that time, so I bragged and said to An Lan: "Let me tell you, I also played guitar when I was in college."
"Really?" An Lan looked at me in disbelief and said, "Then why haven't I heard you say it?"
"This is all in the past tense, there is nothing to say."
"I can't tell! You are an engineering student, but you can do what a liberal arts student does."
"That's it," I said with great pride, "when I was in school, I was the only one in our entire department."
An Lan laughed again, and finally became interested and said, "Then you go and discuss with him whether he can lend you the guitar for a while, and then you can sing a song for me."
"This..." I was confused at the time. I was just bragging, but An Lan was serious about it.
An Lan tilted his head and looked at me with a smile and said, "Isn't it good? Or are you embarrassed?"
"I can't sing well, but I can play and sing for you."
"Me?" An Lan frowned immediately, looked around and said, "Are you sure? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to not be able to sing well in a place like this?"
"No, and you sing very well."
An Lan was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking, and then said after a moment: "Then what do you want to listen to?"
"What are you going to sing?"
An Lan was silent for a while and said, "How about we sing a chorus! This way it won't be too embarrassing."
"But I don't sing well!"
"It's okay, don't be afraid." After saying that, An Lan gave me an encouraging smile.
After hesitating for a moment, I asked, "Then what should we sing?"
"I recently listened to a song called "As Long as Ordinary" by Zhang Jie and Zhang Bichen. Have you heard of it?"
I nodded and said I had heard of it and thought it was pretty good.
Just at this time, the wandering singer finished singing a song, and An Lan walked forward generously and started talking to the wandering singer.
After a while, An Lan waved to me and seemed to have finished talking.
I just walked over, and the wandering singer immediately took off the guitar and handed it to me, saying, "Brother, my guitar is not very easy to use, and the high register is a little inaccurate."
"It's okay." I smiled and said thank you.
Then An Lan and I looked at each other. She was ready and asked me: "Is it okay?"
I took a deep breath and felt that there were suddenly more people around me.
I don’t know if An Lan was attracted by her beauty, but before we started singing, more and more people were watching.
I also started to get nervous. After all, this is singing! This is not my specialty.
But now that everything is like this, there is no way out.
I tentatively strummed the guitar, trying to get back the original feeling.
After it was almost done, I said to An Lan: "Okay, come on!"
An Lan nodded to me, and I started to play and sing——
"Perhaps it's far away or yesterday, here or on the other side, the long road is full of joys and sorrows, people gather and disperse, only when you let go of right and wrong can you know the answer. The courage of living, without the aura of God, you and I are born ordinary."
After singing one section, An Lan continued the next section:
"Recognize regrets in the heartbreak, life is long and short, the beating heart grows vines, fighting for danger, falling into the darkness and the abyss, face stained with dirt, without the aura of God, holding on to the ordinary in the hand, this
I have no regrets in this life, the fire of life has been lit..."
Due to time constraints, we only sang the first half of this song
After singing, many audience members applauded.
And only then did I realize that there were more people watching around me.
I will never forget that feeling, it felt like a concert.
After I returned the guitar to the wandering singer, I scanned the QR code in his guitar case and paid 200 yuan.
Then An Lan and I continued to walk forward. Her mood seemed to be much better, and a smile appeared on her face.
I said to her: "You know what? It's the first time I've been in this situation just now."
An Lan also said to me: "This is my first time too! I can't even think about it."
"Then why are you so brave?"
"Because I want to sing a song with you so that I will feel nostalgic when I think about it in the future."
It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Wei and I have been married for so many years and there is nothing worth remembering today.
This only proves that there is nothing that Xiao Wei and I can commemorate together.
Even on our wedding day, it was an impromptu decision. We didn’t choose a wedding date like others did, then buy wedding supplies, prepare red envelopes, souvenirs, etc....
I was very busy at that time and Xiao Wei was also lazy.
When she asked me for money, I gave it to her, and then she found someone to take care of it.
We got married in such a haphazard manner. I really didn't feel any surprises, so I don't even have memories of it now.
Isn't this sad?
Of course, this is not one person's fault. At that time, I was focused on work and neglected my family.
But now I know that family is more important than anything else.
An Lan and I continued shopping for a while. She bought me a pair of socks and I bought her a bottle of hand cream.
Then we went home satisfied, and her heart was relieved. Seeing her happy made me feel better too.
At night, after we washed up, we lay on the bed. An Lan held me tightly, her body pressed against my arms, like a kitten.
She said it felt very comfortable and made her feel safe.
Girls are all insecure animals. No matter how chic they are during the day, they feel insecure at night.
"Thank you." An Lan said suddenly.
I was a little confused and asked, "Why are you suddenly saying thank you?"
"You made me feel better! I will always remember this night."
"Me too, but I will remember every day with you."
"Stop being so mean to me, I really can't stand it."
I smiled softly and said with a hint of sadness: "Actually, I am quite inferior because I have been divorced and had an unfortunate marriage, but you are a pure and flawless woman. I..."
Before I could finish speaking, An Lan interrupted me and said, "Don't say this. If you really like me, I can face anything with you. I don't care if you are divorced, I don't care."
It doesn’t matter if you have failed...we are together and everything can start again, as long as you don’t betray me, I’ll think about it.”
I kissed An Lan lightly on her forehead, hugged her tighter, and said softly: "No, I won't betray you even if you kill me."
After hearing this, An Lan laughed happily again, raised his head, kissed me gently on the lips, and said, "Good night!"
