Li Mu tasted the oak aroma in whiskey, while Wei Lan drank it with a cup of Changdao iced tea with relish.

Wei Lan was really feeling much happier at this moment.

In the past few days I came to Shenzhen Stock Exchange, both psychologically and spatially, the depression I brought to myself cannot be described in words. The night before leaving finally disappeared with this cup of Long Island ice tea smoke.

She was particularly happy to be with Li Mu in private, and Li Mu's promise to write a song for her has always been so excited.

Moreover, the bar environment is just right, whether it is the environment, atmosphere, lighting, and music, it seems to be perfect and impeccable in Weilan.

The bar they chose was relatively quiet, just a light and casual style. The music was not loud, the guests were not noisy, the lights were dim and hazy, which not only allowed the lover to take off unnecessary precautions, but also added a bit of mood.

Wei Lan did not put on makeup when she went out, so she always thanked the bar for its lighting effect. If the lights were brighter, she would definitely show timidity when she faced with Li Mu, for fear that his impression of him would be reduced.

And under such lights, even if her cheeks were sometimes hot, she was not worried that Li Mu would see it. Sometimes, she didn’t have to worry about being discovered by Li Mu if she couldn’t control her eyes and had to show her deep love. This feeling was really relaxed and wonderful.

The two chatted, and the performance time in the bar was also up. A bar singer sat on the small and exquisite stage with an electric box guitar in his arms, holding the guitar, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your visit. The first song I brought to you is Maki's "Zebra, Zebra"..."

His opening remark, which was as pity as gold, attracted the attention of the entire bar. Wei Lan did not watch the resident singer, but said to Li Mu excitedly: "He actually wants to sing your song!"

Li Mu shrugged: "This song is almost sang by guitar lovers now."

For most guitar lovers, folk songs are one of their eternal favorites. When Song Dongye was just popular, there were people in every piano store singing "Ms. Dong". After Zhao Lei became popular, the resident singer in every bar would play "Chengdu"; and Li Zhi's song "Along with You", which combined are simply three major golden songs sung by literary youths.

Wei Lan said: "I have heard many cover versions online, but none of them are as good as you sing."

Li Mu smiled slightly: "What tests singing folk songs is never singing skills, but the pretentiousness."

Wei Lan didn't understand Li Mu's words very well. He was about to ask, and the resident singer had already played the prelude and started singing.

The singer's voice is low and he sang pretty well, but it gives Li Mu the feeling that the singer deliberately wants to interpret his voice in this low way, so it sounds a bit deliberate.

After hearing a few words, Wei Lan couldn't help but shake her head and said, "He sang far worse than you."

Li Mu smiled without saying a word, Wei Lan held the Changdao ice tea and said to Li Mu: "Come on, cheers."

Li Mu looked at her cup with half of the remaining cup and asked with a smile: "Can you finish drinking it?"

Wei Lan nodded at Li Mu and said, "I asked you to dry the one in your cup."

Li Mu nodded helplessly and smiled, "Then let's do it."

Li Mu looked up and drank all the wine in his glass, and Wei Lan also drank most of his wine in one sip.

Although Changdao iced tea tastes like a drink, its alcohol content is actually not low. It is a cocktail series that doesn’t feel much when drinking, but has a strong stamina. Li Mu is afraid that she will drink too much, so he instructs: "Don’t drink so quickly. Just keep this glass tonight, so as not to drink too much, and don’t come to catch the plane tomorrow morning."

Wei Lan smiled and said, "I have a good alcohol tolerance. Why is it that I have been struggling in the business world for a while? I have practiced the amount without consuming it."

Li Mu nodded: "Control yourself, don't get drunk."

"Don't worry."

Wei Lan didn't want to get drunk, she just felt happy, and drinking made her feel more happy.

The singer sang a few more folk songs, then finished the performance at this stage, and said to the microphone: "If any friend wants to order songs or needs guitar accompaniment, even if we come to me, the cost of ordering songs and accompaniment is twenty yuan per song."

When Wei Lan heard this, she couldn't help asking Li Mu: "What if there is any song he can't play?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "There are more bar singers playing, singing, and remembering a lot. As long as you can sing and listening to it, you can basically accompany it."

"So amazing?" Wei Lan said in surprise: "Wouldn't you have to memorize a lot of scores?"

Li Mu explained: "The bar singers are all functional scores in their backs, such as Beyond's "Really Love You". They only need to remember seven numbers in their minds."

"Ah?" Wei Lan looked at Li Mu incredibly and asked him: "What seven numbers do you need to remember?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "1564151."

"1564151?" Wei Lan frowned: "This is more like a phone number. What does it have to do with the score?"

Li Mu laughed: "You can understand it as a shorthand method. In fact, this number is used to record chords. Each number represents the corresponding chords. If it is a song in c, 1 corresponds to the c chord. If the c chord is a first-level chord, 5-level chord is g, 6-level AM, and 4-level four is f, so as long as the corresponding chords are played according to the numbers just now, the accompaniment of this song will come out."

"So amazing!" Wei Lan looked at Li Mu with admiration and couldn't help asking, "Why do you know everything?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "There is a word called "Live for a long time". Do you understand what it means?"

Wei Lan shook her head, her face full of confusion.

In this era, even if Li Mu wrote the three words "Live Long" and few people could understand.

Li Mu smiled and said, "The general meaning is that you will see more after living for a long time."

Wei Lan couldn't help but curl her lips: "You are several years younger than me, and you still have the nerve to say that you have lived for a long time."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Let's sigh."

After saying that, Li Mu picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, come on, drink and drink."

Wei Lan nodded, drank all the wine in his glass in one sip, and then called the waiter to come and said, "Give me another cup of Long Island, thank you."

Li Mu advised her: "It's almost done, I feel uncomfortable at night after drinking too much."

Wei Lan smiled and said, "No, I know my own alcohol tolerance. It will be fine if I drink another glass. I won't drink it if I have too much."

Li Mu believed that Wei Lan was so big that he would definitely have such self-control, so he nodded without saying anything more.

The waiter brought new drinks, and the two of them chatted and drank. At this time, several guests also came on stage to let the singers sing along with them, and most of them were a little unpleasant.

Wei Lan drank half of the second iced tea, and her condition was obviously much happier than before. After hearing a female guest slander the classic "yesterday-one-more", Wei Lan stood up and said to Li Mu: "I want to sing a song."

Li Mu nodded and smiled, "Okay, I haven't heard you open your voice yet."

Wei Lan blinked and said, "I'll go and ask him if he will play."

Wei Lan went to the singer and communicated with him for a few words. Li Mu looked at him from afar and saw the singer nodding to her. Then Wei Lan sat on the high stool beside him with an excited look and gestured to Li Mu with a victory.

Li Mu knew that she must have received the singer's clear answer, so he put down his wine glass and prepared to listen carefully.

The guitarist first gave a simple chord set as a prelude. After Wei Lan found the right tune, he started singing in the second section.

It was originally a rare beauty. Sitting in the bar and singing attracted the attention of the guests in the bar. When everyone was paying attention to Wei Lan, Wei Lan suddenly opened her voice, and her clear and affectionate voice grabbed the hearts of all male customers.

Li Mu didn't expect that Wei Lan would feel so good about singing, and the song she chose was actually one of Li Mu's favorites.

Wei Lan sang a classic love song "linger" by the-cranberries' Cranberries.

Even ten years later, Cranberries should be considered a relatively unpopular band in China, and among the few well-known songs in China, they do not have the less obvious style of "Linger". In comparison, "Dreams" covered by Wang Fei, "Zbie" and "dying-in-the-sun" covered by Chun Ge are more famous.

This is more than that surprised Li Mu.

What surprised him even more was that Wei Lan, a woman who had never learned to sing professionally, was able to sing this song so well. Whether it was the voice, pronunciation, or even the richness of emotions, it surprised Li Mu.

Especially when singing the chorus, Li Mu was particularly addicted to it in an instant:

and-i'm-in-so-deep

you-kno-i'm-suh-a-ool-or-you

The lyrics are: I've been so deep, you know I'm so stupid in front of you...

Not only Li Mu, but even those bar customers who only focus on Wei Lan's appearance are attracted by her singing and addicted to it.

Wei Lan treated this song as a kind of emotional catharsis, and incorporated all his feelings for Li Mu that he could not express into this song, so he sang so selflessly.

At the end of the song, Li Mu was the first to applaud. The song was indeed sung so well that he had a new understanding of Wei Lan.

Wei Lan returned to the booth with a red face amid the applause of a group of men. As soon as she sat down, Li Mu said complimentally: "It's so good to sing, it's simply a double enjoyment of vision and hearing."

Wei Lan used the dim light to cover up the shyness and tension on her face and said, "Your praise is too fake."

Li Mu said seriously: "Every sentence comes from the heart."

Wei Lan smiled: "Okay, I believe you."

The two of them sang and drank until after 11 o'clock in the evening, and Li Mu and Wei Lan were a little drunk.

However, Li Mu is in a just-right state. Going home and taking a shower and sleeping can definitely ensure seven or eight hours of deep sleep.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Mu asked Wei Lan: "By the way, has your best friend been home?"

Wei Lan looked at the watch, nodded and said, "I'm back."

Li Mu said curiously: "I didn't make a phone call, I sent a text message. How did you know she was back?"

Wei Lan did not take out his phone throughout the whole process. These days, the broken phones have no functions except phone calls and text messages. The same is true for Li Mu. The phone is installed in his pocket, without ringing or vibrating, and he can't remember to read it.

Wei Lan realized that her answer was a little unconsidered, and said, "She told me that she would go home at half past ten, and it was almost half past eleven, so she must have returned."

Li Mu didn't think much about it, then nodded and said, "I think the time is almost over. Why don't I send you back? Don't let your best friend wait for you for too long."

Wei Lan felt that she was still feeling unsatisfied, but seeing that it was really too late, she was not afraid of not being able to catch up with the plane tomorrow, but she was afraid that Li Mu would be suspicious, so she had to agree and said, "Then go back."

The two got up, Li Mu went to the bar to settle the bill, and then walked out of the bar side by side with Wei Lan.

Li Mu was about to say something to Wang Yuanlang and ask him to help him drive, but he didn't expect that Wang Yuanlang passed by him and followed two young men out of the bar, and then quickly walked into an alley near the bar.

Li Mu was very surprised and was about to call him, Zhou Zhan, one of his subordinates, called Li Mu and said, "Mr. Li, you and Miss Wei get in the car directly. I'll drive. The boss said that the two boys stole Miss Wei's wallet just now. He would solve it and ask me to send you back first. After he solves the problem later, he will send Miss Wei's wallet here."

Li Mu frowned, and Yu Guang looked at the lady's shoulder bag hanging on Wei Lan. Sure enough, there were signs of being opened. It was estimated that Wang Yuanlang did not want to affect himself and Wei Lan, so he did not take action on the spot. He decided to wait until the other party left the bar before following and solving the problem quietly.

After thinking through Wang Yuanlang's motive, Li Mu did not want to tell Wei Lan either, but just said, "Let's get in the car."
