Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Chapter 142 Pirate Bar and Moonlight Shadow

The car slowly stopped in front of the Ritz Hotel. This building exudes a strong British style and is one of the best places to stay in London.

Xiao Hai helped Chen Feng carry the luggage out of the car, said a simple goodbye and drove away.

Chen Feng dragged his suitcase into the hotel. The jet lag made him feel sleepy.

He opened the door, dropped his luggage, and collapsed on the bed, turning on the TV and randomly flipping through the channels. Before long, his eyelids began to droop, the TV picture gradually became blurry, and finally he fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, a quick phone call suddenly rang, pulling him out of his dream.

Chen Feng picked up the phone in a daze. Teresa Teng's voice came from the receiver: "Hello! I've been knocking on your door for a long time, but you didn't respond. Are you doing anything shameful in there?"

Chen Feng was startled and quickly jumped out of bed and ran to open the door.

Outside the door, Teresa Teng was wearing a slim-fitting windbreaker, paired with exquisite leather boots, and a pair of large sunglasses on her face, which almost covered half of her face, but still couldn't hide her star temperament.

"Come in quickly." Chen Feng welcomed her into the house and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry, I just fell asleep. It's night time in China now, and I'm so sleepy."

Teresa Teng took off her sunglasses and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot you're still jet-lagged."

"It's okay." Chen Feng smiled. "Why, are you here alone?"

"Yes, I wanted to pick you up at the airport, but I was busy rehearsing at the time. The music director, Chuck, is very famous in the circle. We finally invited him, and I can't just leave him there, so I have to inconvenience you." Teresa Teng said.

"I understand, I'm here to listen to your concert. As a fan, of course I hope your concert goes well." Chen Feng was about to pour her some water.

"Then I have to make it up to you." Teresa Teng rolled her eyes, "Let's go, stop drinking water, I'll take you to the bar for a drink!"

"Go to the bar? Are you sure it's okay?" Chen Feng hesitated.

"Don't worry, the concert hasn't officially started yet, and not many people here know me," said Teresa Teng.

Teresa Teng was obviously well prepared, and the car drove directly to a bar called "Blackbeard's Bounty".

The bar has a unique exterior, with a huge wooden pirate flag hanging at the door. The skull and crossbones pattern stands out against the night sky.

After entering the door, a breath of the ocean hits you in the face. Various pirate hats and old nautical charts are hung on the wall. Even the tables and chairs are made to look like ship wood, as if you are instantly transported to a small island in the Caribbean Sea.

Instead of choosing a booth, they walked straight to the bar, where a bald bartender wearing a black eye mask was standing, shaking the cocktail shaker in his hand with concentration.

Although this man is very strong, his cocktail-mixing movements are smooth and fluid, attracting the attention of many customers.

"Two glasses of the signature Pirate's Kisses." Teresa Teng ordered with ease, then turned to look at Chen Feng. "How is it? This place is pretty good, right?"

Chen Feng nodded in approval, and the two took the wine and started chatting.

"Tell me, how is your college life? Have you met anyone special?" Teresa Teng spoke first, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Chen Feng chuckled and briefly shared a few interesting campus stories. Then he changed the topic and talked about the house that Teresa Teng bought in Ninghai.

Teresa Teng stirred the wine in her hand and said, "Alas, I was so happy when I bought it, but I got so busy with work that I had no time to live here. I'll give you the key. Please help me check it out when you have time. Don't let it go to waste."

She bought this house with the intention of visiting Chen Feng often, but who would have thought that after buying it, she had never lived there for such a long time.

Chen Feng nodded and then asked about the preparations for the concert.

Teresa Teng sighed, her brow furrowed slightly. "Everything was planned perfectly, but who knew...something big happened in England. John Lennon of the Beatles was shot and killed, and the entire music industry was shaken. My concert was also affected, and I had to spend a lot of money to hire Chuck, the famous music director, to come to the rescue."

Chen Feng was stunned when he heard this: "How could this happen?"

"Yeah, who could have imagined that?" Teresa Teng's tone was full of helplessness. "If I had known this would happen, I would have postponed the concert until next year. Now everything has to be replanned. It's true that plans can't keep up with changes."

Chen Feng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and some memories in his mind began to awaken.

Chen Feng had read reports in his previous life about John Lennon of the Beatles, who was killed by a fanatical fan.

This incident caused an uproar in Britain, and the fan became the focus overnight. An even more frightening incident happened the following year. Someone also wanted to be famous, so he fired six shots at Queen Elizabeth II during the British Trooping the Colour parade, and the whole country was shocked.

When Chen Feng thought of this, his heart skipped a beat, and he realized that this was the current year!

Seeing that Chen Feng looked upset, Teresa Teng thought he was worried about her, so she gently comforted him, "Feng, don't overthink it. With Master Chuck here, my concert is very stable. Your presence gives me the greatest strength. Even if you're the only one in the audience, I can still sing."

As soon as she finished speaking affectionately, Chen Feng suddenly stood up, pulled Teresa Teng back, and said, "Let's go to the private room."

Teresa Teng was stunned, her cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "This is not good. I didn't take a shower before going out." She was obviously overthinking it.

Chen Feng was at a loss for words. This was how British bar culture was, easily triggering people's imaginations.

After entering the private room, Chen Feng turned to the waiter and said, "Can you get me a guitar?"

The waiter glanced at him with a playful look in his eyes, and muttered to himself: These Japanese are so tricky.

The guitar was delivered quickly. Chen Feng picked it up gently, his fingers dancing on the strings, and the melody slowly flowed out.

He planned to give Teresa Teng a new song, which was "Moonlight Shadow".

Although this song was not written directly for John Lennon, many fans feel that its creation is inextricably linked to Lennon's death, making it a famous work commemorating John Lennon!

Originally, this song was not to be released for two years, but it became a hit in Europe as soon as it was released, topping all the major charts.

At this moment, Chen Feng wanted to give it to Teresa Teng in advance and let her release it before the concert. Maybe the Lennon incident would not affect her, but would add fuel to her concert.

The song "Moonlight Shadow" mainly expresses a deep, melancholic emotion as well as the longing for a deceased lover and the helplessness towards fate.

Through the imagery of moonlight and shadows and the atmosphere of night, a mysterious and supernatural emotional world is created, allowing people to feel the protagonist's inner loneliness, helplessness and obsession with love.

As Chen Feng played the guitar and sang, Teresa Teng was stunned.
