love letter from the down and out

Chapter 146

call.Lu Zai was broken by him, and tried to block the uncontrollable arc of his mouth by raising the teapot.Ji Wanxuan's attention returned to him again: "Boss, you asked me to help with the exhibition, how much is the commission?" Lu Zai didn't want to reveal his obvious smile, and continued to gesture with his fingers.Ji Wanxuan tentatively reported a number: "30 yuan?" Lu Cai: "Add another zero, you deserve it." Xiao Guan laughed and fell down on the table.Lu Kai raised his eyebrows: "Meals are all included during working hours, and if you want, you can also include accommodation." Xiao Guan laughed and went under the table.For a large-scale exhibition, the curator's income usually starts at tens of thousands, and Ji Wanxuan will not be missing from the road demolition.But in fact, he has many better options.It is not difficult to find a partner who is experienced and fits the imagination, but Lu Kai chose Ji Wanxuan who has only arranged school art exhibitions.Holding an exhibition on Nanfan Road, even if the final effect is only higher than the industry average, Ji Wanxuan, who was born overseas, will quickly enter the attention of major organizers.If he lives up to himself, it will be no problem to earn pocket money occasionally throughout the year. After being loved by Lao Zhang once at the age of 17, Ji Wanxuan has never been so sincere and full of gratitude: "Is there any handyman in your store, Kris? I am willing to sign a contract of sale for you." What a dangerous money laundering operation using your own bar. Just who cares.Xiaoguan cheered to express his warm welcome.Lu Kai pressed his forehead with a headache: "Just one request, don't call me Kris." In the second year of middle school, he chose an English name and compiled it into his WeChat ID. stain.Actually it's okay.Ji Wanxuan thought. —if he hadn't added a Prince after Kris.WeChat has been used for so many years, and almost all contact information is in it.After becoming a social person, it is inevitable to exchange QR code business cards every three days. Although I feel ashamed, compared with the troublesome level of changing another account or operating double numbers at the same time, Luchai is more willing to choose shame.Anyway, no one dared to laugh at him to his face.The wind chime by the door rang, a guest came in, and Xiao Guan went back to the bar to serve.Ji Wanxuan pressed the gold-rimmed glasses hung around her neck with long chains on the bridge of her nose, and continued to look through the miniatures of Xue Lulu's collection of works to be exhibited in front of the bright window.It's been nine years since Lu Zai saw him look like a cultured man, and now he looks a bit like a gentle scum.He looked at it curiously for a while, then suddenly said: "I heard that you got along well with your roommate in Australia?" Ji Wanxuan turned the page without changing his face: "Who did you hear that from?" Lu Cai: "Your roommate. "Ji Wanxuan: "..." He raised his head with disbelief in his eyes. It took him a long time to recover his voice, and tentatively said: "In a novel, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings for readers, the author usually does not Let two unrelated characters have the same last name." So, is our life a novel?Lu Zai nodded slightly, expressing a certain degree of sympathy for his slowness: "Xue Jiayin is Lulu's cousin." "..." Ji Wanxuan received too many stimuli in just one day, but this one is different from that of the second ring. Compared with the flat house, it was several orders of magnitude milder. He came back to his senses after being silent for more than ten seconds, and asked with a frown, "WasheanEye?" Lu Kai pushed open the window and showed with practical actions that he had nothing to do with prying eyes on him. Hobbies: "No one is monitoring you, baby." Ji Wanxuan shrugged: "That's not necessarily true, I'm so handsome." The handsome guy Lu Kai turned his face and put his arm on the back of the chair next to him, quite agreeing Nodded: "Xue Jiayin did say something about you." Ji Wanxuan had an ominous premonition in his heart: "What is it?" Lu Zai: "For example, you were drunk at a Halloween party, wearing Uchiha Itachi's cape, Singing the national anthem on the streets without anyone?" Ji Wanxuan: "..." Lu Cai: "You were distracted in class and the old professor asked you to answer a question. I didn't know what he asked, so I babbled in Japanese, saying You don't understand English." Ji Wanxuan: "...Okay, it's fine." Lu Cai: "There is an Indian classmate who likes you, but you really can't understand his English with a strong accent this time, and you thought he was I like another girl, and after a lot of matching, I really straightened her up." Ji Wanxuan: "This glass of ice water tastes so special, where did you get the ice cubes from?" Lu Cai: "On the eve of the exam, you are cramming to review. When it was dawn, I decided not to sleep at all, and ran to the balcony to play the cello, waking everyone up." Ji Wanxuan: "Xue Jiayin is exaggerating, the sound insulation there is actually very good." Lu Cai: "Teasing." Ji Wanxuan: "Huh?" Lu Cai looked at him, his sharp eyes softened: "I haven't heard you play the cello for a long time, I wonder if I have the honor today?" With a big mahogany piano case.Ji Wanxuan's fragile heart was shaken again: "...is this my old violin?" Lu Zai said "yes" and said, "You left it at home, but I went to pick it up later." Ji Wanxuan is now The violin he bought was bought at a flea market after he went abroad, and it was made by a famous European craftsman a hundred years ago.But living here, the pearl is covered with dust, and it is almost devalued by ignorant owners in the busy market.Even so, it took him a full four months of part-time wages at that time, which has long exceeded the value of the old piano.But after arriving in Australia, he regretted it almost every day, why he left the gift that Ji Ning gave him alone in the alley.The violin box was carefully placed on the large concrete table in the store, and Ji Wanxuan walked over it with flamboyant steps, stroking its familiar touch with trembling hands like a Parkinson's patient.Unfasten the buckle, lift the red velvet cover, and what you see in front of your eyes are the habits that have been carved into his bones for more than ten years.Lu Zai: "Relax to play, I will perform regular maintenance every week, and I just wiped the rosin in the morning." Ji Wanxuan was about to cry: "Thank you, Kris." Lu Zai: "...you just want to be happy." , Ji Wanxuan is going crazy.He jumped to the stage where the resident singers were performing, and bowed deeply to the sporadic audience full of people.Xiao Guan let out a "wow", expressing his huge expectation in a foreign style.Ji Wanxuan gave him a smiling eye, bent over to support the tail post, turned around, and put his back on everyone.Xiaoguan: "?" Lu Kai finally couldn't help laughing happily: "It doesn't matter, this is his habit." "VivaLaVida".What sounded in the Bluetooth speaker was his own performance, 2Cellos is a duo of violins, and Ji Wanxuan is a team by himself.The song ended, but the playback software on the phone automatically cycled through the list, Ji Wanxuan didn't even pause, and quickly entered the next song.The third song, the fourth song... The number of customers in the store gradually increased, and everyone expressed their surprise and enthusiasm for the classical style of this bar that loves to play music.The musical notes on the stage are either brisk and high-spirited, or melodious and melodious. Each capital is less than 5 minutes long, but each capital is so beautiful that people can't help but think of standing ovation.Xiao Guan was so shocked that he couldn't close his jaw for a long time, Lu Cai stood beside him, pretending to be unintentional, and explained in a low voice: "Otherwise, you think he turned his back to the examiner, how did he succeed in the examination." The store has never been full since the day it opened With so many people, Xiaoguan was so busy on tiptoe that he didn't touch the ground. He ran back after a long circle, and whispered excitedly to the boss: "Can we often invite Ja.ven to play?" What Xue Lulu wanted back then was a A laid back bar with not so many customers.Lu Kai thought for a while, then shook his head: "No." In the huge bar, everyone spontaneously quieted down and listened to the music. There were a few customers who raised their mobile phones and wanted to record, but the sunny and handsome Taiwanese boy blocked the camera. , smiled and made a "shh" with his index finger.The performers in the western restaurant can play for hours without interruption. Ji Wanxuan also participated in the school orchestra in junior high school and received semi-systematic training. In the end, he did not know how long he played until the stock in his mobile phone ran out. It stopped abruptly in this bar.Ji Wanxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and stroked the first cello in his life full of nostalgia. Excitement and peace were settling in his heart, but suddenly there was extremely warm applause behind him.He turned around in surprise and saw the picture of the shop full of people. "..." The applause was thunderous, mixed with cheers and admiration. It was indeed a bit different in such a bar that did not broadcast the World Cup live - besides, it was not dark yet.Ji Wanxuan raised her eyebrows helplessly, and saw Lu Kai leaning against the bar, holding a wide-mouthed wine glass and silently said "you deserve it" to him.With the glasses still hanging on his ears, he pulled away his smiling face and turned his eyes slightly - he was not too surprised to see Dr. Shen's figure by the window where he sat at first.He raised his hand and applauded Ji Wanxuan slowly.The deep and delicate stretch of facial features was the first time I saw Shen Fang showing such a relaxed expression since their reunion.Maybe that's what learning to play is all about.Inside the case of his second violin was printed a sentence - Makepeoplewhoyoulovehappy. With a heartfelt smile on Ji Wanxuan's lips, he bowed again to everyone present, then straightened up and faced everyone Blowing kisses exaggeratedly.Whistles and cheers came and went, and he sneaked an extra kiss in the direction of Shen Fang amidst the noise.

Frankly speaking, Xiaoguan's name
