Return to Singapore 1995

Ah TAN laughed and said, "I saw a news report before. A nearly 50-year-old Malaysian Airlines pilot kept three mistresses in Changi Village. I don't know what went wrong with him. He said in an interview with a foreign reporter that he liked this place very much because it was not easy to meet acquaintances and the environment was beautiful. His three mistresses were 21, 25 and 27 years old, and the youngest mistress worked in a local seafood restaurant. He rented a local apartment for his mistresses to live in, and he felt that the rent here was also very cheap. Later, after this news was published in foreign newspapers, many people liked to call Changi Village the "Second Wife Village"..."

Li Xiaofan remembered that he had indeed seen a news report before. This Changi Village was once called Singapore's "Second Wife Village" because it was far away from the city. Many married men once considered it an ideal "love nest" and rented houses here to hide their mistresses.

"Haha, can you show off this kind of thing? You are really stupid!" Everyone laughed.

Changi Village Bar Street is just opposite the Changi Village No. 2 Bus Terminal. In fact, there are not so many bars, only about ten or so. But for nearby residents and tourists, it is also a lively bar gathering place.

Li Xiaofan led everyone to randomly choose a Pine Forest bar bistro on the roadside.

Before, their domestic workers were busy with work and didn't know the depth of these bars, so they had never been to a bar. In the previous life, Li Xiaofan and his workers occasionally came to play a few times during the New Year and other holidays. They felt that the consumption in these bars was not expensive. They seemed to be some very normal bars and pubs, without that kind of "very special" service.

The space in this Pine Forest bar is not very large, but it is no big problem to squeeze in more than ten of them. The most attractive thing in the bar is a karaoke song request system.

Everyone hasn't sung for a long time. After seeing this system, everyone became a singing master and sang all the few Chinese songs in the system.

There are actually "My Motherland", "The Full Moon on the 15th", "Blood-stained Style" and other Chinese songs that Li Xiaofan and his 70s generation are familiar with.

"A big river with wide waves, the wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides..."

"Maybe I say goodbye and will never come back, do you understand, do you know?

Maybe I fall and will never get up again, do you still have eternal expectations?

If so, don't be sad, the flag of the Republic has our blood-stained style..."

One after another soul-stirring songs resounded throughout the bar. Many local and foreign guests in Singapore heard these Chinese songs for the first time, and they came around to applaud and encourage. Someone asked curiously: What songs are these, they are so beautiful!

Li Xiaofan laughed and said: "This is our good singing voice in China!"

Everyone sang and drank a lot of foreign wine and beer, and played until more than twelve o'clock in the morning before returning home with great fun.

When Li Xiaofan returned to the terrace house, he saw the lights on in the terrace house from a distance.

Today Liu Mengchen was on the late night shift, and Guo Hanyue should have returned from the second night shift.

Entering the living room, the lights were on, but no one was there. The TV was playing Channel 8's midnight show "Old Songs". On the screen, Fei Yuqing and Tsai Chin were performing old Chinese songs from the 1970s and 1980s.

When Li Xiaofan passed by Guo Hanyue's room on the second floor, he heard the sound of running water in her room. She might be taking a shower.

Li Xiaofan went back to her room to get two clean clothes, and went downstairs to the bathroom on the first floor to take a simple shower.

After taking a shower, he changed into a clean T-shirt and beach pants and came out. Opposite Guo Hanyue was washing her underwear on the sink.

Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening, Guo Hanyue, who was washing clothes, was startled. She turned her head and said in surprise: "Xiaofan, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"

When Guo Hanyue came back from get off work, she thought Li Xiaofan had already gone to bed, so she just changed into a small nightgown and came downstairs. She planned to go to bed after washing the clothes, so she didn't even wear a bra inside.

This lace nightgown is very short and transparent, and it can't cover Guo Hanyue's white and plump body at all. It's really eye-catching! Li Xiaofan stared at it with his eyes wide open, and his blood was boiling...

"I went to drink and hang out with my coworkers in the evening, and just came back!" He stuttered when he spoke.

Guo Hanyue knew that Li Xiaofan's eyes were staring at her body, but this time she was not panicked at all, and smiled and said: "Put the washbasin here, I will wash it together later!"

In the plastic washbasin in Li Xiaofan's hand was a T-shirt and small underwear that he had just changed, and he planned to wash them by hand.

"Isn't this embarrassing?"

"Oh, you're so fussy, give it to me!"

After saying that, Guo Hanyue took the washbasin from Li Xiaofan's hand without further explanation: "Go to the living room to watch TV for a while, and go upstairs to rest early! You have to work the day shift tomorrow, and I have a night shift tomorrow anyway, so I still have plenty of time!"

It's not good for a man and a woman to fight over a washbasin filled with dirty underwear in the middle of the night. In addition, Guo Hanyue had already helped him wash it once before, and seeing her firm attitude, Li Xiaofan simply went to the living room to watch TV.

On TV, Tsai Chin was singing the most classic and her best old song "Forgotten Time".

"Who is knocking on my window,

Who is touching the strings,

That forgotten time,

Gradually rising from my heart...

Who is knocking on my window,

Who is touching the strings,

The happy scene in my memory,

Slowly emerged in my mind..."

Tsai Chin's voice is low and gentle, pure and steady, and very contagious.

Some people say that Tsai Chin's voice belongs to the night.

Especially in this quiet midnight, her voice is like crying and complaining, and it seems to flow into people's hearts........

Li Xiaofan leaned on the sofa, lit a cigarette, calmed down, and enjoyed this love song at midnight in the quiet time...

In the distance, Guo Hanyue, who was washing clothes, asked: "Xiaofan, who sang this song, it's so beautiful!"

"Sister Tsai Chin!"

"Oh, it's Tsai Chin! No wonder the voice is so familiar!"

"Have you finished washing? Why don't you come and enjoy the TV show first?"

"I finished washing quickly. It's just a few pieces of underwear. It's very quick to rub them! "

Ten minutes later, Guo Hanyue hung up the clothes, dried her hands, and sat on the sofa next to Li Xiaofan to enjoy the TV program together.

At this time, Cai Qin began to sing her best song "Your Eyes".

"Like a drizzle falling into my heart,

That feeling is so mysterious,

I can't help but look up at you,

And you don't show any trace,

Although you don't say anything,

It's hard to forget,

That's your eyes,

Bright and beautiful..."

At midnight, her singing voice was like the faint moonlight like flowing water, slowly pouring down in the quiet and boundless night, filling and penetrating in the living room of the townhouse...flowing into the depths of people's hearts.

Her unique voice was like a drizzle falling into the hearts of Guo Hanyue and Li Xiaofan...

In the quiet midnight time, Guo Hanyue couldn't help but lean her body gently on Li Xiaofan's shoulder, enjoying the charm of this song together...
