晚餐的地点定在静安寺附近的一家法式高档餐厅,之前姜清悦和唐子扬曾经来过一次。这家餐厅外面看起来朴实而低调,走进里面却别有洞天,典型的欧式精美装饰风格,水晶吊灯,西式壁炉,错落有致的酒柜,墙上的各种油画,营造出美好的温馨气氛。
因为临近新年,餐厅的生意很好,大部分餐桌都坐了人,空的桌子上也都摆上了已预订的牌子。客人中有不少是金发碧眼的外国人。
和姜清悦上次来时不同的是,餐厅辟出了一块地方,有一支小型乐队在那里演出,唱的都是抒情舒缓的英文歌。
陈卓今天特意穿了身笔挺的西装。姜清悦没有点菜,都交由陈卓负责。主菜中,陈卓点了这里的主打菜惠灵顿牛排、脆皮乳猪、鹅肝和蜗牛泡芙,另外点了两杯法国红酒。
一晚上基本都是陈卓在说话,姜清悦则是默默地享受着法式大餐。
上甜品前,一位服务员走到陈卓跟前,在他耳边耳语了几句。
陈卓向服务生点了一下头,对姜清悦说:“有点事,我去去就回来。”
姜清悦点点头。
陈卓走后几分钟,姜清悦耳边突然响起了一首很熟悉的歌曲前奏。她转过身看着乐队的方向,发现陈卓怀抱着一把吉他正站在那里,开始演唱一首英文歌。
It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me, Do I look all right?
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me
And then she asks me, Do you feel all right?
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"
I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you
It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
那是一首Eric Clapton的《Wonderful Tonight》,是姜清悦和陈卓都特别
