Chapter 248 I Treat You as A Customer

TN: The song in this chapter.HERE. No male version or English lyrics.

Lin Muans request was somewhat unexpected for Yang Yi. Moreover, recalling that this guy also wanted to apply for a pianist in the shop last time he visited, Yang Yi suddenly had a strange feeling of I treat you as a customer, and yet you actually want to play my piano.

Seeing Yang Yis stunned expression, Lin Muan thought he had no chance. However, he still wanted to make another effort and fight for it again: Boss, just one piece, just one. I promise to be careful, not exert too much force, and not damage your piano.

Retracting that strange thought, Yang Yi glanced at the girl behind Lin Muan and almost understood his intention.

The piano in the shop was originally set up for people to play, but I have a small rule here. Since you want to play in my shop, youll have to show some real skills. If I think you played well, Ill treat you and your girlfriend to two cups of coffee, Yang Yi said with a slight smile.

But if your performance is unsatisfactory, youll not only have to pay for those two cups of coffee but also buy another cupcake from the shop. Is this rule too much?

Yang Yis words were naturally not meant to make things difficult for the somewhat struggling Lin Muan.

Although Yang Yi didnt interrupt Lin Muans conversation with his girlfriend just now, he listened attentively to every word. He knew about Lin Muans financial situation and estimated that it probably wasnt any better than the two people of Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu back then.

Yang Yi could give Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu an opportunity to showcase themselves, so naturally, he would also give Lin Muan an opportunity. As for the so-called conditions and rewards, they were merely incentives and gifts deliberately given by Yang Yi.

Originally, this guy had the courage to apply for the position of pianist in the shop, so he shouldnt be a total novice, right?

Yang Yis words made Lin Muan overjoyed and he quickly nodded.

He was still very confident in himself and didnt even ask Yang Yi in detail about his judgment criteria. He clenched his fist and excitedly said, Boss, thank you, thank you!

Lin Muan turned around and whispered a few words to his girlfriend. The girl didnt refute her boyfriends face anymore and just blushed and sat down at a nearby seat.

During this interval, Ding Xiang, holding a cloth, walked up to the counter. She asked Yang Yi in confusion, lowering her voice, Big Brother Yang, since when did we have such a rule in our shop? I dont seem to remember!

This girl thought she might have remembered wrongly and took out a small notebook from her pocket, seriously preparing to take down Yang Yis words.

Yang Yi looked at her and couldnt help but laugh. He said two words softly to Ding Xiang, Starting today.

After Lin Muan settled his girlfriend, he slightly bowed to Yang Yi and sat in front of the piano.

His slender fingers gently fall and he began his performance. Although he had the fighting spirit to prove himself to Yang Yi, more importantly, he wanted to perform for his girlfriend.

In the melodious sound of the piano, Yang Yis gently raised his eyebrows. He could tell from the prelude that Lin Muan was not going to play purely instrumental music like Jian Yifan!

The prominent harmonious melody, bold and casual voices. It was clearly the prelude to a pop song.

After the lively prelude slowed down, Lin Muan softly started singing, He has always been able to control himself, never losing control

It was in Cantonese!

And Yang Yi found out that this was a song he had never heard before. He became interested, raised an eyebrow, and started listening attentively.

Lin Muans girlfriend recognized the song as early as the prelude began. She covered her mouth with her hands slightly excited, he eyes fixed on Lin Muan, who was playing the piano and singing with all his heart.

At present, Ding Xiang was probably the only one in the shop who couldnt understand Cantonese and didnt understand what Lin Muan was singing. However, Ding Xiang also listened attentively and focused on watching Lin Muan in front of the piano.

She had seen Lin Muan perform before, but that was in a bar, separated by a complicated and noisy crowd.

But hes afraid of having nightmares, afraid that his lover will no longer be good to him, sleeping in each others embrace, still there upon waking, accompanying you in this life and the next, never parting

Lin Muans voice was very distinctive. Although his tone could only be considered average, his vocal range was very wide. He could easily switch between falsetto and chest voice, especially in this song, which was obviously several keys higher than ordinary male songs. Yet, he could still sing it with ease.

So, this should be a female vocal song?

Yang Yi made a rough judgment.

Even if we happened to meet by chance, its fate, but every second and every day, you give me a thousand days of memories To be honest, the lyrics at the beginning of this song were not written well, and the artistic conception was a bit oppressive. However, as if making a 90-degree turn here, the emotional lyrics became lively.

Undoubtedly a resident singer in a bar, Yang Yi thought that Lin Muan sang very well. Whether it was tender and affectionate or pa.s.sionately intense, this young man could handle it all with expertise. And while playing the piano and singing at the same time, his voice was full of emotion.

The darkness of the night is particularly unbearable, fireworks dont understand how to bloom again, and I dont want to be separated from you tonight Lin Muan played softly, but suddenly his fingers pressed the keys harder, the rhythm accelerated, and the pitch increased. He sang, Casually ordering a cup, white coffee comforting my love, sweetness is present with him, the black coffee tastes satisfying in my heart

Yang Yi couldnt help but smile. How is this song still related to coffee?

No wonder he had to sing in a coffee shop! The ambiance, the atmosphere, couldnt be more fitting!

Of course, Yang Yi knew that this was actually just a coincidence. Lin Muan, this young man, clearly only had an interest in his piano, not coffee

May you always remember my stubbornness and unrepentance. If I am forgotten, I am willing to endure the sorrow. But even in pain, it is a splendid pain. I absolutely refuse to give up on love

After finis.h.i.+ng the song, Lin Muan finally lifted his head from the heartfelt playing and singing. It was unclear whether it was due to lack of confidence or his own style, but during his singing, he was completely immersed in his performance, exchanging intense emotions that erupted in his singing. It was not until the final notes faded away that he could slowly break free from the resonating emotions of the song.

Such a performance by Lin Muan was not accidental; he was the same way when singing in bars. Lacking interaction with the audience, even if he sang well, there were still not many supporters, let alone he sang Cantonese songs!

During this performance, he hadnt interacted with his girlfriend either, but fortunately, she was his girlfriend and understood Lin Muans habits. So, she listened attentively from beginning to end. It wasnt until Lin Muan turned his head towards her that she blushed with excitement and gave Lin Muan two thumbs up.

Such interaction was very simple, but Lin Muan enjoyed it very much. He grinned and showed a happy smile.

To be honest, this scene was a bit stimulating for Ding Xiang, a single girl. After all, it was dog abuse1

Moreover, a delicately handsome young man like Lin Muan was quite popular with girls. Furthermore, Lin Muan could also play the piano and sing, and girls who preferred romance over reality couldnt help but admire him.

However, Ding Xiang still has a clear mind. Where would she find time for romance now? Work and studies were almost everything for her!

Ding Xiang shook her head and smiled, then turned around and walked into the restroom. Shortly after, she came out carrying a heavy bucket of water and went outside to clean the windows.

After listening to the song, Yang Yi looked at Lin Muan and his girlfriend, these two indescribably well-matched young men and women showing off their love there. He also shook his head, retracted his gaze, and turned it towards the shelf where the coffee beans were placed.
