Entertaining Children

After eating the main course, Yin Xi couldn't wait to say to Xiao Yao: "Okay, you can go play the piano, and you can eat dessert when you come back."

Xiao Yao cast a helpless glance at Yin Xi, wiped his mouth, got up and walked towards the stage.

Different from three years ago, because Betty had already greeted him, when Xiao Yao walked to the stage, the pianist who was playing on it saw him approaching, and had already stood up in advance and made way for him. Xiao Yao needs to communicate with her again.

Nodding to thank the pianist, Xiao Yao sat down on the piano bench, stretched out his hands and moved his fingers before pressing his hands on the keys.

Kevin Kern was Xiao Yao's favorite pianist and composer in his previous life. In his previous life, this person was once known as a "background music" professional. Countless radio and TV stations will use his piano music as background music, especially the early morning and evening programs. The quiet and beautiful notes can easily make people forget their boredom.

Xiao Yao collected Cohen's first album "InEnchanged Garden" in his previous life, which was also his famous album. He had listened to this album over and over for almost ten years until he inexplicably crossed over. Countless moments of depression, or lazy and leisurely afternoons, he would turn out this album by Cohen, immerse himself in a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, relieve boredom or enjoy leisure, so the ten songs in this album He also heard the tune by heart.

In Xiao Yao's impression, "Sundial Dreams" is the most widely circulated song in "InEnchanged Garden". The most one. On the first morning when Ye Jiaying lived in Xiao's house, she was woken up by the sound of the piano. The first time she heard Xiao Yao playing the piano, Xiao Yao was practicing this piece of music.

After slightly adjusting his breathing rhythm, Xiao Yao pressed his fingers on the keys, playing the song "Sundial Dreams" by Kevin Cohen. As soon as the beautiful, pure piano sound comes out, it immediately gives people a clear and elegant feeling. In the main melody, several simple high notes are struck, as if people can hear the sound of raindrops hitting the glass windows, accompanied by beautiful chords, Immediately, people were immersed in a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, and the movements of the people dining in the restaurant were much slower.

A blond-haired young man in his thirties opened the door and came in. He was slightly taken aback when he saw the much quieter atmosphere in the restaurant, and then the sound of the piano in his ears made him turn his eyes to the piano on the stage. Seeing the pianist who was supposed to be playing the piano on the stage was standing on the side of the stage, while a young man with black hair and yellow skin was playing the piano on the bench, the middle-aged man went straight to the bar counter of the restaurant suspiciously, and asked the pianist The head waiter beckoned...

Betty Bellett, Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi all looked at Xiao Yao on the stage with smiles on their faces. Betty took out her mobile phone and operated it. After pointing the camera of the mobile phone at Xiao Yao, she was immersed in the music played by Xiao Yao just like Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi. Betty Bellett had some surprise on her expression. As the wife of a first-class musician, Betty's music appreciation ability is not low.

She didn't expect Xiao Yao to play the piano, neither classical nor popular, but newage with a not too long history. At least in the United States, children rarely learn piano from newage. The melody of newage music is very different from classical music and popular music. It has no fixed pattern, no fixed musical form, no beginning and end, no expansion and contrast. The melody is like the wind flowing. It started at a certain time, and I don't know when it will end. It is always erratic, and the flavor of improvisation is very strong.

At Xiao Yao's age, he can master the piano music in this musical form,

Even in the United States, where music development is more developed, it is rare. Moreover, the piece he played was so beautiful, but it seemed that she had never heard it before.

At the end of the song, the people who enjoyed it in the restaurant naturally gave applause without hesitation. Xiao Yao stood up and bowed slightly, then stepped off the stage and returned to his seat.

"Can I ask what the name of the song you played just now is?" Betty asked Xiao Yao who was sitting down after putting away her phone.

"Sundialdreams." Xiao Yao nodded and replied.

"Nice name. Also, you play really well." Betty laughed. The name of his husband's band is daydream, both of which mean daydream, but his husband's band plays pop rock, which is far from the style of this song.

"Thank you." Xiao Yao said politely.

"Is this the same song you played for Ye Jiaying back then?" Yin Xi asked curiously.

"No." Xiao Yao shook his head, "The song "Childhood Memories" was played at the time. But it was also in this environment at the time, so it was also a softer and soothing song."

"I remember you said that the manager of the restaurant gave you free desserts after playing the game," Yin Xi said with a smile, "If no one in the restaurant comes to give us something later, it means that you have lived in vain for three years. No, I have come back to life, and my piano playing is not as good as it was three years ago."

Xiao Yao smiled wryly and shook his head, not knowing how to refute Yin Xi's weird logic and remarks. Looking up and seeing two people walking towards this side, Xiao Yao exhaled and said with a smile: "It seems that I have lived for nothing these three years."

"What?" Yin Xi was surprised when he heard Xiao Yao's words, and then he reacted and looked behind him, only to see two people walking over, one of the waiters was still holding a tray in his well-dressed hand, and the other blond young man was He was wearing a casual suit. From the way he walked in front of the waiter, he was most likely the owner of the restaurant.

"No way? Someone really sent something, so I just said it casually." Yin Xi who turned his head smiled and said to the three of them. The remaining three were a little speechless.

"Sorry for the interruption, ladies and gentlemen. Ah, it's Ms. Bellett, hello." The blond young man greeted, and when he saw Bellett at the table, he said hello again. Originally, he still thought about hiring this young man to come to the restaurant as a pianist and perform at a fixed time, but when he saw Betty Bellett present, he had no choice but to give up his idea. A teenager who can eat at the same table as Bellett should not look down on the profession of restaurant pianist.

"Hello, Mr. Patil, thank you for the delicious food you provided. Is there anything I can do for you?" Betty greeted the blond young man, and first praised the food in the restaurant.

"Thank you for your compliment, it's our honor that you like it." The blond young Patil responded with a smile, and then continued: "In order to thank this little gentleman for his wonderful performance just now, I specially bring you some desserts, please enjoy them .”

"Thank you." Betty thanked politely.

Patil made a signal, and the waiter behind him placed the four desserts on the tray in front of the four of them.

"Does what you said just now sound familiar?" Yin Xi asked Xiao Yao with a smile.

Xiao Yao smiled, but did not answer.

Patil continued: "The little gentleman's performance just now was simply amazing. In the history of our restaurant, there have been only two incidents in which young customers played on the stage. The last time was three years ago , It is said that the performance of the young pianist at that time was very wonderful, but unfortunately I was not there at the time, so I did not have the chance to see it. Today I saw the performance of the young pianist, which can be regarded as a little bit to make up for some of my regrets.”

Yin Xi interjected with a smile: "Mr. Patil, was your restaurant in Yanjing, China three years ago?"

Patil nodded and said: "Yes, miss, my restaurant only opened here two years ago, and it has been in Huaxia before. How do you know?"

Yin Xi didn't answer, and continued: "Although you haven't seen that young pianist three years ago, you should have heard about it from your staff. Is he also a Chinese with yellow skin and black hair? At that time Went to dinner with a lady in her thirties."

Patil was surprised: "Yes, could it be that Miss was there at that time?"

"No, I wasn't there at the time." Yin Xi smiled, pointed at Xiao Yao and said, "I know this because he was also the boy who played the piano in your Yanjing restaurant at that time."

"Really? Oh my god," Patil opened his mouth wide and looked at Xiao Yao. Seeing Xiao Yao nodding, Patil said again and again: "It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable."

Yin Xi continued to smile and said: "Mr. Patil, you and our young pianist are so destined. After three years, from Yanjing to New York, you finally saw him. Now you have no regrets, right? "

"Of course," Patil nodded, "I'm really lucky. For this luck, just dessert is obviously not enough." Saying that, Patil took out a card from his suit pocket and handed it to Xiao Yaodao : "Mr. Young Pianist, this is our membership card, please accept it."

"Ah? Just give me a membership card. The French are really casual. No, this guy must be French. No wonder he speaks English with a strange accent." Xiao Yao secretly road.

"If I accept this card, you won't ask me to go up and play the piece I played in Yanjing three years ago for you again?" Xiao Yao pretended to hesitate and took the card handed out by Patil , jokingly asked

"Of course I do, you'd be ashamed to take other people's things for nothing." Yin Xi immediately answered, "It just so happens that the three of us haven't heard the piece you played three years ago."

Of course, Patil didn't want to force the guests to do things they didn't want to do, and he was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard the beautiful woman dining at the same table with Xiao Yao say so, he quickly followed the interface and said: "If you want, this is our an honor."

Looking at the expectant eyes of several people, Xiao Yao wished to slap himself. After glaring at Yin Xi, Xiao Yao had no choice but to stand up again and walk towards the performance stage again.

Seeing this, Patil happily picked up an empty wine glass and a fork from the empty table beside him, and tapped the wine glass with the fork. The guests in the restaurant were attracted by the sound and immediately looked at Patil.

Patil said loudly: "The performance of the young pianist just now, everyone thinks it's great, don't you?" Hearing the positive responses from the guests, Patil continued: "So, this restaurant is very honored to invite him to serve Let's present another song." After finishing speaking, Patil put down his cup and fork, and took the lead in clapping.

Seeing that the young man came onto the stage again and sat down in the seat that the original pianist gave way for the second time, the customers who had really enjoyed listening just now responded with applause. At the same time, Betty picked up her cell phone again.

Xiao Yao had no choice but to stand up again and bowed slightly in several directions to thank him, and then sat down again.

He breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the keys with both hands, and the beautiful melody of "Childhood Memories" spread throughout the restaurant.
