Seizing Dreams [B1]

Ch 77.2 - Valentine's

A handsome old man in a suit walked over, wearing a breastplate with his name written on it. The inscribed title showed that he was the senior manager. He knelt down on one knee and poured tea for Yu Hao.

"Young Master Yu." The manager took over the tea pastries handed over by the attendant and said, "This is the chen pu tea that our restaurant especially prepared for you, we wish you a happy Valentine's Day."

Yu Hao, "......"

Zhang Liang, "......"

Zhang Liang looked at the tea in his hand, then looked at Yu Hao. Yu Hao was sitting down, and the moment the manager knelt down on one knee, he silently uttered 'crap' to himself. This was this third time experiencing this signature kneeling style of service, so this restaurant must be the ubiquitous--

Yun, Lai, Chun!

"The dishes have already been ordered for you." The manager who wore golden-rimmed glasses looked very elegant and said, "What does Young Master want to drink?"

Zhang Liang was filled with doubts, but he didn't say anything as he observed the manager. Yu Hao thought that it was really troublesome now, Zhou Sheng was going to tease him again.

"I'll just have tea." Yu Hao said.

"Suzhou's Pingtan and Kunqu Opera were invited over today, which would you like to listen to?"

The manager's voice was so damn Sue! He looked like he was approaching his forties, had an elegant demeanor, and spoke in an extremely gentle and refined tone. Yu Hao thought, and I even get to listen to Pingtan now?

"This one's good." Yu Hao said, "I haven't listened to one in a really long time, is it convenient? Pingtan then."

"I'll call them in at once." The manager smiled and said, "We're right outside the door, please instruct us whenever you need to."

Yu Hao's grandmother used to sing some Pingtan when she had nothing to do, among which《Jade Dragonfly》and《Warring Changsha》left very deep impressions on him.

Zhang Liang, "......"

Yu Hao said to Zhang Liang, "It's been a long time since I listened to that......uh......that......"

Zhang Liang wore a bewildered expression on his face, "You're the Young Master of Yun Lai Chun? And I was wondering why they led me straight into a private room when I reserved seats in the hall!"

Yu Hao immediately explained, "I'm not! It's a bro of mine, he's the Young Master! We live in the same dorm, he knew I was coming today......"

Zhang Liang observed Yu Hao doubtfully, "The same dorm? Which college do you attend?"

"An ordinary college." Yu Hao said, "Very ordinary."

Yu Hao didn't want to divulge too much personal information to Zhang Liang, and it just so happens that the Pingtan gentleman came over with a guqin. He smiled and asked, "What does Young Master want to hear?"

"Yue Yun ba." Yu Hao said.

"The bright galaxy desires for dawn, dancing in front of the thatched cottage at midnight......" The gentleman performing Pingtan sang.

Yu Hao couldn't help himself from singing along, "Silver crown reflects the moon and gazes at limpid autumn waters, iron armor faces the wind and gazes at smoke--"

At the end of the song, Yu Hao clapped for him. Although he didn't sing as well as his Grandma did, the lyrics were very close to his heart.

"Did you like it?" Yu Hao asked Zhang Liang.
