Chapter 2 Lemon(1/2)

Putting his guitar on his back and carrying his stereo, Luo Quan walked out the door with brisk steps.

This was the first time she wore denim shorts on the street. She originally planned to change into trousers, but she gave up the idea after looking at the scorching sunshine on the street outside the window.

Tokyo is so hot in July, it's almost as hot as her hometown of Yuzhou. Even though it's already four o'clock in the afternoon, it's still so hot that people feel panicked.

The landlord's house is directly opposite the apartment where Luo Quan lives. The landlord can see the door of each household in the apartment through the window and hear any movement. He once used this to find that three families could not pay the rent, so he wanted to

A cunning tenant who wants to sneak away at night.

However, there is no shelter around this house. It is exposed to the sun in the summer and the cold wind in the winter. It is warm in the summer and cool in the winter in the true sense. Although the conditions are so difficult, the landlord is happy with it. Maybe this is the world of a miser.

"Where are you going?" The landlord, who was lying on the couch and watching a comedy variety show, caught a glimpse of Luo Quan passing by the window and asked lazily.

"Go to Shinjuku to make money!" Luo Quan said without looking back.

The landlord lay down again and murmured: "Shinjuku..."

Wait! Kabukicho happens to be in Shinjuku!

"I just said something in anger, this girl doesn't really intend to go to that place!" The landlord put on his clogs and hurriedly ran to the street to call Luo Quan, but Luo Quan had disappeared...



Tokyo's Adachi District is far from the city center, and it takes about forty minutes by train to Shinjuku District.

The Tokyo subway is world-famous for its congestion. Although it is still some time before the evening rush hour, the density in the subway can already be said to be overcrowded.

In order to avoid being squeezed into a meat bun by a group of big men, Luo Quan chose the women-only carriage at the end of the subway. However, she did not expect that she would still suffer after getting on.

The space in the subway is still crowded, and the air conditioner running all the time cannot dispel the scorching heat brought by the hot summer. Thick sweat is secreted rapidly on everyone's body.

In such an environment, the cosmetics on a woman's face quickly intertwine and fuse with the sweat, eventually exuding an indescribable strange smell. To put it simply, it is pickled.

Various pungent smells assaulted Luo Quan's nose and eyes. When she got in the car, she saw a good-looking girl with a face as fair as a doll.

But now this girl's appearance seemed so abominable to Luo Quan. She could even see the milky white liquid dripping from this girl's chin. It must be a mixture of sweat and foundation!

Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Luo Quan closed his eyes, just hoping that this journey would pass quickly.

Luo Quan didn't know how he got off the subway. He only knew that his whole back was soaked after getting off the platform. After walking out of the platform, Luo Quan quickly opened his mouth and took a few big breaths of fresh air. The discomfort lingering in his chest finally dissipated.

She looked at her phone and found that it was almost five o'clock, and her stomach was growling.

After buying some bread and drinks in a convenience store, Luo Quan played with his three-piece street performer suit on the roadside.

Luo Quan is no stranger to guitar. Back then, she relied on her good hand skills to disguise herself as a melancholy young artistic man on the street, and chatted up girls with no luck.

But after getting to know him in depth, the girls found out that this man was so poor that he only had a guitar. The melancholic young man turned into a poor young man. As a result, so many girls failed to negotiate with any of them, and instead became infamous for cheating on their feelings.

Later Luo Quan finally understood that Yue Lao had long since stopped caring about marriage and love. If he wanted to find a wife, he had to worship the God of Wealth!

Suppressing his inner thoughts, Luo Quan put his hand on the guitar and started playing. His seemingly delicate fingers plucked the guitar strings flexibly and rhythmically, playing a string of pleasant melodies.

As Luo Quan gradually enters the state, she becomes more comfortable playing the guitar. With her already good foundation and the guitar specialization given by the system, her level is comparable to those of veteran guitar players who have been playing for many years.

.

Unfortunately, all the pedestrians coming and going looked hurried and indifferent, and no one was attracted by the wonderful guitar performance of the girl on the roadside. For more than ten minutes, Luo Quan was entertaining himself alone.

She had long heard that Japanese people were not generally indifferent, but now she finally saw that if there was such a beautiful woman performing on the streets in China, passers-by would have gathered around her and taken out their mobile phones to take pictures.

"I don't believe it!" Luo Quan has never been a person who likes to give up easily. This setback did not faze her. After taking a deep breath, she started playing again...

"Hello viewers, this is the third episode of Daisuke's tour of Tokyo! Yesterday we visited Akihabara all afternoon. The maid milk tea there must have made you drool, right? Today I came to Shinjuku Ward in Tokyo.

This is the place with the largest flow of people in Tokyo. As a friendly reminder, our ultimate destination today is the mysterious Kabukicho."

Daisuke Shimizu held up the selfie stick and showed a meaningful smile to the phone camera.

He is a popular blogger with two million fans on YouTube. He mainly shoots videos about Japanese food, humanities, novelties, etc. Because his videos are humorous and full of fun, they are deeply loved by domestic and foreign audiences, and he himself is a Japanese

One of the most influential lifestyle bloggers on YouTube.

Today is the third day of his live streaming tour of Tokyo on YouTube. It attracted nearly 5,000 viewers as soon as the broadcast started.

This number is definitely nothing compared to those anchors in China who are frequently watched by "millions of people", but on YouTube, these five thousand are serious people, and they are not the same as those underhanded soldiers operating in the background.

concept.

Daisuke Shimizu looked away from his mobile phone and was about to lead everyone to find the secrets hidden in the streets and alleys of Shinjuku when the beautiful music that suddenly came to his ears attracted his attention.

Following the sound of the music, he saw a foreign girl playing the guitar intently on the street. Her skill seemed to be quite good.

Street performers performing on the roadside in Shinjuku can be seen every day, but such foreign faces are not common. His curiosity about this girl drove him to walk over.

After finishing playing another song, Luo Quan shook his slightly sore fingers and raised his head. He happened to see Daisuke Shimizu walking towards her with a selfie stick, and he suddenly felt refreshed.

What a blessing to meet an anchor so quickly!

"Hello, won't I disturb your performance?" Daisuke Shimizu greeted Luo Quan in English.

When the camera of the mobile phone was focused on Luo Quan, the audience's eyes lit up. This young lady holding the guitar is so good-looking!

"Don't bother me, I just finished playing." Luo Quan waved his hand and answered in fluent Japanese.

Shimizu Daisuke showed a surprised look: "Your Japanese is very good, just like a local. You must have lived here for a long time."

"I have lived in Japan for six years." After Luo Quan finished speaking, he pointed to the mobile phone held by Daisuke Shimizu and asked, knowingly: "Are you live broadcasting?"

Daisuke Shimizu nodded: "I am currently live broadcasting on YouTube, and more than 5,000 people are watching. Do you want to say hello to everyone?"

This is what I've been waiting for! Luo Quan was secretly happy, but on the surface he still smiled calmly, waved to the camera and said, "Hello everyone."

A large number of comments quickly floated on the mobile phone screen, half in Japanese and half in English. Some praised her beauty, some asked for Instagram, and wanted to add friends to her Twitter account.

When Daisuke Shimizu saw that the live broadcast was going well, he smiled and said, "It seems that everyone likes you very much. Do you want to perform a song for everyone?"

"Of course, then I will sing a song I wrote for everyone."

Luo Quan said, put his hand on the guitar and started strumming, his red lips lightly parted:

If all this is

What a dream it would be

You can still show up to this day

in my dream

as if retrieved

like forgotten things

Carefully brush away the dust covering memories

There is irreparable happiness in this world

In the end it was you who let me

These things you know

…………

The soft and slightly sad singing voice is like a clear spring water pouring into everyone's heart. The lyrics that hit the soul evoke the memory buried deep in every listener's heart.

No matter how strong or independent they appear on the surface, there is a soft corner in everyone's heart that longs for love.

There may be no right or wrong in this world, only interests, and everyone is moving forward in the cold darkness, but what we ultimately long for is to find light in the darkness and feel warmth in the cold world.

Being born as a human being is sometimes such a contradiction.

What this song tells is a story about love and parting, death and hope. This is also a reality that no one can escape. Whether it is the audience watching the live broadcast or the pedestrians passing by Luo Quan, they all

I was attracted by this song in an instant, and my whole heart trembled with it.

Soon, the chorus came, and Luo Quan's singing voice changed from low at the beginning to high-pitched:

Even the sadness of that day

and the pain of that day

And put all this

Together with you, who I love deeply

Turned into remnants that linger in my heart

Aroma of bitter lemon

There is no way to go back until the heavy rain stops

To this day you are still my light

At the end of the song, Luo Quan performed the song "Lemon" flawlessly, and before she knew it, dozens of pedestrians were surrounding her.

"Bah bang bang!"

Warm applause suddenly sounded, and everyone spared no effort to express their appreciation for this song that touched their hearts.

"It's really nice. This is the best song I've heard so far this year!" Daisuke Shimizu said happily, "Can you tell me the name of this song? I want to download it.

As a cell phone ringtone.”

Luo Quan replied: "This song is called Lemon, but I just wrote this song, so I haven't posted it online yet."
