Flight of the Bumblebee

He Qi stood in the middle, watching the two people look at each other without speaking, he hesitated and said, "Do you know each other?"

The girl's name was called out, and it was clear that they came to look for him. I don't know how long I have been waiting here, so there is no possibility that I don't know him.He Qi suddenly felt that standing in the middle was a bit redundant, so he stood back slightly to leave room for them.

Xing Yan never expected to look at her here, he said: "Xiaoxiao, did my brother ask you to come?"

Holding the violin case with both hands, she nodded.

He Qi looked at the girl on the left, and Xing Yan on the right. If he put on good clothes, he would indeed be a golden boy and a jade girl, a pair of Bi people.He said wittily: "Xing Yan, you can take her to sit with us, I'm going to buy dinner, I won't eat barbecue today."

Xing Yan was silent for a while before saying: "That's the only way to go." The girl named Xiaoxiao kept her eyes on Xing Yan from the beginning to the end, and never gave any extra eyes to He Qi.

He Qi resentfully walked down the long slope, turned around halfway there, and saw the two of them standing there blankly, motionless and silent.He shouted at Xing Yan from a distance: "Take someone up there! What are you doing in a daze!"

Seeing that Xing Yan was finally willing to take the girl away, he snorted and went down the slope again.

While waiting for the fried noodles, how could I think: do I want to go shopping somewhere? It would be good to kill time.Judging from the situation just now, it should be that the ex-girlfriend has killed her in front of her eyes. Xing Yan, a big wooden man, doesn't know how to move, and he is usually enough to stay still.Wait... If it's not the ex, but the current one, it's even harder for him to go back, who knows what the two of them are doing in his hut.Wait a little longer... If it's the ex, I'm afraid there will be a fight if there is a disagreement, and he can't do it if he doesn't go back.But why did the ex-girlfriend come to him? Could it be that after the breakup five years ago, there was still a child left behind, and the two were unclear?But he vaguely seemed to remember that Xing Yan said that he had never been in a relationship. Could it be that he remembered it wrong?

He was standing in front of someone else's stove with an inscrutable expression on his face, but his mind was actually full of wild thoughts.The proprietress packed two boxes of hot fried rice and brought them in front of him. She called the handsome guy several times but there was no response.The daughter of the boss who was helping out next door couldn't help covering her mouth and sniggering, and said to the people next to her in a moderate voice, "He wants to hear people call him 'handsome guy' a few more times!" The lady boss laughed when she heard it. Very happy, he called handsome guy again, He Qi recovered and took the fried rice in embarrassment, took out two pieces of change from his wallet and handed them over, then left the stall with oil on his feet.

Feeling ashamed, he left the fried noodle stall, headed all the way downstairs to his house, saw the closed anti-theft door in the stairwell, turned and walked back.After walking a few steps, I stopped and hesitated, but decided to go upstairs first.But when he saw the big iron gate, he hesitated again, turning back and forth on the spot.

Seeing this scene upstairs, Xing Yan couldn't help laughing from his heart.Why didn't he know that this hesitant appearance had already been noticed by the people upstairs. If he raised his head, he would see Xing Yan sticking to the railing with a smile on his face and smiling at him.

Xiaoxiao saw it too, and she seemed to have noticed something in Xing Yan's eyes.She thought about it for a while, and asked Xing Yan, who was watching He Qi walking around downstairs like a puppy chasing his tail, and asked half a sentence: "You two..."

However, Xing Yan didn't even listen to her half of the sentence, and smiled ecstatically towards the downstairs, as if he forgot that there was another person beside him.Xiaoxiao could only raise her head, and looked around the room they lived in. There were traces of the two of them everywhere.

Half-wet clothes to dry, underwear hanging in one place, two towels on the window; Xing Yan just locked the door, there is only a big bed inside, there are sundries scattered around, the table Serving two identical cups and the scattered quilts on the bed made the relationship between the two of them obvious.Seeing this scene, she felt that she shouldn't have come, and she didn't even dare to take a step into that room, for fear that she would disturb their originally peaceful life.

It's all because Shi Leping didn't make it clear to her, what "living together with a small white collar in the company", if she said that the two of them lived together, she would be a little bit psychologically prepared.It won't be like now, waiting for several hours under the street lamp, but seeing this scene later, forcing her to face the reality, let go of the hopeless unrequited love that she has been unable to let go for several years, and pretend to be Nothing, just came to meet a friend.

Xiaoxiao looked downstairs and saw He Qi gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, she still made up her mind to come up.Those who didn't know thought that there were wolves and hungry tigers upstairs, and he was carrying two boxes of fried noodles and regarded death as home.Xiaoxiao couldn't help being funny, Xing Yan only noticed her at this time, and started talking to her: "After I left, my mother didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Judging from his tone, it seems that he has let go of the past.Xiaoxiao replied to him: "Your mother didn't say anything to me. You ran away so suddenly, I think she couldn't accept it psychologically. In the first few days, she locked herself in a hotel room without seeing anyone, and then she went to Canada. I don't know about it."

After listening to what she said, Xing Yan felt a little ups and downs in his heart. He lowered his eyes and said, "I've always wanted to apologize to you."

Xiaoxiao turned to look at the sea of ​​lights flowing on the road not far away, in order to get rid of the sourness welling up in her eyes, she deliberately said casually: "That's nothing, I've forgotten it, you should forget it too. I'm already planning to move forward," she collected her emotions, looked at Xing Yan and asked, "What about you?"

He Qi came up at this time, he awkwardly raised the degradable white plastic lunch box in his hand, and said to Xing Yan: "I bought fried noodles, do you want to eat it later or now?"

Seeing these two people standing side by side, with the lights in the city shining from their backs, He Qi couldn't help sighing in his heart: Golden Boy and Jade Girl!Golden boy and jade girl!

He was a little ashamed to stand among them.He didn't feel anything when he was with Xing Yan, but today he saw such a good-looking, fairy-like figure looking for Xing Yan, even Xing Yan was different from usual in his eyes.

Xing Yan came up and smiled to take the lunch box from him. He Qi walked into the room first and put the fried noodles on the table.Xing Yan followed in, He Qi whispered that you should go out quickly, don't neglect other girls.Xing Yan said, let's go out to eat, aren't you hungry?How can I not go out, I want to eat here.You go out for me, and you can eat after she leaves.Xing Yan asked him why, he said he was too embarrassed to stay with a beautiful girl, she is your guest, you go out for me!

The two of them were biting their ears in the house, and Xing Yan reached out to touch the plastic bag containing the lunch box, but was slapped away hard.Xiaoxiao watched from the outside, as if watching the two of them flirting, her eyes were clouded again, she felt so sad that she almost shed tears.

Xing Yan had no choice but to come out and explain to her: "His name is He Qi, and we live together."

Xiaoxiao said, "I know, your brother mentioned him to me."

"Almost two months ago, we..."

"No wonder your brother couldn't find you, so you hid so deeply."

Xing Yan touched the back of her head in embarrassment, and asked her how she felt here.

Xiaoxiao bluntly said that it was very secretive. His brother drew a road map for her, but she still didn't know where to come in after getting out of the car.

Xing Yan asked her if she had been waiting below for a long time, she said no, she stopped by after dinner to take a look, she was so lucky, she bumped into him coming down, if she didn't wait for him in 2 minutes, she would leave.

After He Qi finished eating the fried noodles, he poked his head out of the door, and quickly shrank back.

Xiaoxiao put the piano case on the ground, took out the handmade piano that she had been with for many years, and said to Xing Yan: "I just saw an electronic piano in the room, let's collaborate on another song."

Xing Yan shook his head and said, "It's just a child's toy, it doesn't match the sound of your piano."

Xiaoxiao insisted: "No, you didn't finish playing the piece that day. Next month, the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra will recruit the principal violinist. I'm already planning to go for it. Even if it's for helping me, I don't want to go to the battlefield with regrets."

Xing Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "All right, but I don't guarantee that I can play it well."

Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "There is no way to conjure up a Steinway now, let's just make do with it."

He Qi saw Xing Yan coming in to move the table and the piano, and asked curiously: "The girl outside is the one who played the duet with you?"

Only then did Xing Yan remember that he hadn't been introduced to He Qi yet, and he said, "Her name is Xiaoxiao, and she is my dad's disciple. I told you before, the one my mother brought me to join me in a group."

He Qizheng suddenly realized, Xing Yan asked him: "Do you want to come out and listen to our performance?"

He Qi exclaimed: "Really? I'm not very lucky today!"

Xing Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw the expression on his face of winning the grand prize, and said, "Then are you coming or not?"

"Come, come!" He Qi hurriedly said three times, and it was rare for him to tell Xing Yan so courteously that I would help you move out, be careful that your hands get tired, and you won't be able to play well later.

Xing Yan looked at him dumbfounded.

Xiaoxiao was already getting ready outside, but Xing Yan and the others were busy setting tables and pulling wires.When the electronic organ was connected to the electricity, Xing Yan tried to play a few notes, and sighed silently when he heard the voice, but still asked Xiaoxiao what he wanted to play.

He Qi stood behind him, not too far away, in order to leave some space for the two of them.

Xiaoxiao said: "Do you still remember the song we ran out of the hotel and heard in a department store in Tokyo five years ago? Go back and check it online, and you said you would use it for the first concert. I also said that the author of the original song and the performer of the version we heard are familiar in Japan, and the audience must be very happy to hear it. Later... I didn't finish playing it. Let it go, I will test if you remember it Remember."

Xing Yan thought for a while, and played the song that the two of them had in common.He stopped and asked if it was this one, Xiaoxiao nodded with tears in her eyes and said yes, it was this one.She settled her posture, sniffed, winked at Xing Yan, fiddled with her fingers and the bow, and made sounds on the strings.Accompanied by the beautiful sound of the violin, Xing Yan's piano sound was also added later.

In the night sky at the end of summer, under the stars, He Qi felt that music was so touching for the first time.So much so that after they finished playing this piece, He Qi, although he had never heard it before, clapped sincerely and desperately.Xiaoxiao put down the piano and explained to him: "This song is called "Music Room After School". It is composed by the Japanese performance group Gontiti. A violinist called Hakase Taro collaborated with Gontiti, a violin and guitar version. The two of us changed this piece to make it more suitable for violin and piano. What do you think?"

He Qi smiled with some embarrassment: "I... I don't have such a high level of musical literacy as you, I can only say nice, really nice! I've never heard such a warm song!"

Xiaoxiao smiled.Xing Yan on the side kept his head down and remained silent. He frowned slightly. Xiaoxiao asked him what was wrong, but he remained silent. Xiaoxiao knew that he was upset because the instrument in his hand was not satisfactory when he was playing.As he said earlier, a child's toy bought in a supermarket for 200 yuan is not worthy of a high-end Italian handmade piano.

She took a deep breath on purpose, and said with relief: "I feel more at ease seeing you like this!"

Xing Yan raised his head and asked her, "How am I?"

She showed a mischievous expression, and said to him: "You don't know how nasty your brother is. He lied to me that you had a miserable life here. You can't play the piano because your hands are disabled, and you have to do physical work to support yourself. It hurts me. I know how worried I am!"

Xing Yan told her with a smile: "I am indeed doing physical labor, but the person who raises me now..." He pointed at He Qi—"It's him."

He Qi was originally a weak existence, but when he pointed at him suddenly, he was a little panicked, pointing at himself for no reason and widening his eyes.

Xiaoxiao laughed when she saw him like this, and suddenly understood why Xing Yan fell in love with him.This is a very cute boy, although it doesn't look like it on the surface.

Xing Yan asked how long she would stay in China, and she said she would go back to Tokyo in a few days.

When parting, Xiaoxiao said "さようなら" to them, which means "goodbye" and "treasure" in Japanese, and it also has the meaning of farewell, so she will not say it easily when parting.

And now, it was her final farewell to her unrequited love over the years.

It's best that it ends without a problem.What does it matter whether you say it or not.Love and fate cannot be forced.

She rushed out from the dark and narrow stairwell, raised her head and waved goodbye to the two people watching her upstairs.The mouth is smiling, but the face is covered with tears.No one will notice such a distance.She left the place under the stars and street lamps, walking down the long slope alone and proudly.

Shi Leping received a call at 10:30 in the middle of the night. At that time, he was in the recording studio and was preparing for tomorrow morning.Xiaoxiao called him and asked him to come out and say a few words. He had a bad feeling, hesitated for a moment, and told the person on the phone to wait until the recording was finished tomorrow.Xiaoxiao said that this matter must be said today, otherwise I will feel bad.Shi Leping pondered for a while, and agreed, Xiaoxiao said a location, which is in the cafe next to S University, very close to the riverside park, upstream of the area where Xing Yan and the others live.

After Shi Leping hung up the phone, he called Wang Sheng's cell phone and asked him if he was okay. Wang Sheng said that if you were fine, I would be fine.Shi Leping said that I have something to do now, can you come and pick me up.Wang Sheng asked if you are still in the recording studio. I am at a bar nearby. I will go there now and see you in 5 minutes.

He hummed and hung up the phone.The night view of the city was reflected on the glass windows. Standing on a high place, he felt that the lights of the high-end office buildings standing opposite were all turned off at the moment, and they were as dark as ghosts, hovering over the city.
