Chapter 325: A Wonderful Encounter at the Audiovisual Store

Chapter 325: A Wonderful Encounter at the Audiovisual Store


Six years ago, Jia Siyuan was still a young high school student. Because of Mo Fei’s song “Feel like Strangers,” she began to like Mo Fei’s singing and became a loyal fan of Mo Fei.


Six years later, Jia Siyuan has become a capable and seasoned white-collar worker in the workplace.


But even on New Year’s Day, she had to work overtime. She clocked in before sneaking out. Even though she was wearing black tights and a thin blazer shuttling through the cold wind, she hurriedly came to line up. She was determined to be among the first customers to enter the audiovisual store located near her office at the first moment it opened.


Like other customers in line, they had a clear goal in mind. They headed straight for the shelf displaying the newly released alb.u.ms this month.


There were quite a few new alb.u.ms released on the first day of the New Year. Except for some singers who wanted to take a break from the limelight, most singers who wanted to release new alb.u.ms in these two months squeezed in at this time. After all, this was the most suitable time for hitting the charts, and it could also avoid the Spring Festival in February, when most audiovisual stores would close, which would have a great impact on sales!


However, Jia Siyuan found her long-awaited alb.u.m “The Initial Dream” at first glance from the dazzling array of alb.u.ms on the shelf and reached out…


Just then, a big hand also reached out and touched her slender hand with nail polish.


The person who “collided” with Jia Siyuan was a clean-looking man in a suit with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He politely smiled at Jia Siyuan and raised his hand to signal: “You first!”


“Thank you.” Jia Siyuan smiled at the other party. She took two of Mo Fei’s alb.u.ms off the shelf and handed one to the man in suit who gave way to herself.


“So polite? Thank you.” The man in the suit with thick eyebrows and big eyes quickly took it over and said gently, “Miss, are you also a fan of Mo Fei?”


Jia Siyuan just wanted to express her kindness and had no intention of chatting with the other party. She casually responded with a few words and hurriedly went to the counter to pay.


After paying for the alb.u.m, Jia Siyuan didn’t rush to leave. She sat down in the rest area of the audiovisual store. This was a relatively large audiovisual store that occasionally held autograph signing events. Jia Siyuan unwrapped the alb.u.m packaging, took out the CD, and then stuffed it into her portable CD player. She put on her headphones and couldn’t wait to listen to Mo Fei’s new song that had been building antic.i.p.ation for two months!


Temporarily skipping “The Initial Dream” and “Crossing the Ocean to See You,” Jia Siyuan listened to “Love Me, Don’t Go” first.


It wasn’t that she didn’t like those two songs, but she had listened to them countless times. Now she was rushing to appreciate other new songs. She didn’t believe those reports that defamed Mo Fei and wanted to prove they were wrong!


Through her headphones, a mesmerizing and sultry saxophone solo filled her ears. Jia Siyuan was immediately refreshed and her confidence in Mo Fei had increased. With such a beautiful melody, could this song still be bad?


“I still feel the same at this time. The loneliness at night can easily make people sad. I dare not think too much because I am alone…” Mo Fei’s languid but incredibly heartfelt and not at all lazy voice gave people an indelible sense of sadness.


After a few introductory segments, this song soon entered its climax.


“Love me, don’t go, if you say you don’t love me~~ Don’t want to hear you really say it out loud, give me some more tenderness…”


Mo Fei was able to integrate the emotions of the lyrics into her voice. Listening to her seemingly casual but deeply sad singing, Jia Siyuan felt that her heart was about to break.


Don’t go, how could we, your fans, ever leave? Jia Siyuan clenched her small fist.


This song was very magical, not only because of Mo Fei’s emotional delivery but also because of its simple melody and lyrics.


As she listened, Jia Siyuan felt like she could even hum along with the melody: “Love me, don’t go, if you say you don’t love me…”


And it wasn’t difficult to sing. Jia Siyuan felt that she could try this song next time she went to KTV.


“Love Me, Don’t Go”, “You Exist in My Song”, “Xiao Yao Sighs”… Ten songs, Jia Siyuan listened to them one by one. Anyway, her supervisor wasn’t working overtime today, so taking one or two hours off wouldn’t get her into trouble.


The more she listened, the more she felt happy. Indeed, what Mo Fei said on “Zhi Xin Interview” was absolutely right. The remaining ten songs were still cla.s.sic. She did not deceive the feelings of her fans!


Jia Siyuan really liked “Love Me, Don’t Go”. No, she liked “You Exist in My Song” even more. She really wanted to have a wonderful encounter like the one described in the lyrics of “You Exist in My Song”.


“Without any preparation or hesitation, you just appeared in my world and brought me surprises…” Just thinking about made her fell so happy!


Taking off her headphones, Jia Siyuan was ready to go back to work. But when she got up, she saw the man in the suit with thick eyebrows who had “collided” with her earlier negotiating something with the owner of the audiovisual store. After a while, he took out money from his pocket and the owner reluctantly agreed.


“What kind of transaction is going on?”


Jia Siyuan didn’t have time to think much about it. She was attracted by the conversation between a college student couple nearby.


“Can we buy Mo Fei’s new alb.u.m? I really like her song ‘Across the Ocean to See You.’” The girl said to her boyfriend beside her.


“Forget it. Didn’t the newspaper say that only two songs in Mo Fei’s new alb.u.m are good? You have already bought those two single CDs, why buy it?” The boyfriend curled his lips and said.


“The alb.u.m is not expensive, only 18 yuan.” The girlfriend hesitated.


“There’s no need to buy more. The clothes, cosmetics, skincare products, and snacks in your dormitory are almost bursting out of your closet. If you can buy less, buy less! And if we move out in the future, how can you move all those things you bought?” The boyfriend tried his best to dissuade her.


Listening to their conversation and thinking of the many cla.s.sic songs she had just heard, and remembering Mo Fei and Mu Li’ang’s intentions, Jia Siyuan, who originally didn’t want to meddle in their affairs, couldn’t help herself. She walked up to the girl and showed her the alb.u.m in her hand and said, “Believe me, buy it, you won’t regret it!”


“I just finished listening to this alb.u.m and I can responsibly tell you that the other ten songs are also very good and the quality is not inferior to ‘Across the Ocean to See You’!”


Jia Siyuan turned her head to look at the boy with a stunned face and snorted disdainfully, “You don’t even let your girlfriend buy something she wants, and you want her to move in with you but are afraid of helping her move her things. Aren’t you a bit of a lousy boyfriend?”


Jia Siyuan’s disdain made the boy’s face turn red, and he stuttered, not knowing what to say.


But the girl pulled her boyfriend behind her and asked somewhat embarra.s.sedly: “Sister, is what you said true? Are the other ten songs really that good?”


At this time, a familiar melody started playing in the store. The owner actually played Jia Siyuan’s favorite song “You Exist in My Song”. Just now the owner did not play Mo Fei’s alb.u.m. He usually only plays his favorite old songs from the 1980s.


Jia Siyuan looked thoughtfully at the man in the suit who was giving a thumbs-up to the store owner, and a smile appeared on her face as well.


“Listen, this is just an ordinary song among the other ten songs in Mo Fei’s alb.u.m. Whether it sounds good or not, you judge for yourself.” Jia Siyuan raised her eyebrows at the girl and said with a smile.
