Cappuccino Rhapsody

This winter has passed so fast.

Qi Xu's entire winter vacation, either soaking in cappuccino in the basement eating barbecue, eating fried chicken and singing crazy with everyone, or sleeping in Ling Jiangyuan's small rental house, sleeping until the sun was high, opening his eyes When I was there, I saw Ling Jiangyuan's busy back in the living room, and the three meals a day that were already prepared waiting for him.

At the beginning of February, Qi Xu's good days finally came to an end.

It was Qi Roujun who brought Qi Xu to the school to report. Although Qi Xu applied for boarding with the school, he could occasionally find time to come to Ling Jiangyuan's place.At first, Qi Roujun disagreed, but Qi Xiong said that Qi Xu could do whatever he wanted, and the matter was settled like this.

Mr. Qi Rou took Qi Xu to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, while nagging: "School is no better than at home. I don't have any hope that you will become buddies with your roommates, but you must not have conflicts with them, lest you affect learning."

Qi Xu's head was getting bigger: "Why are you talking so much, even more than Ling Jiangyuan."

Qi Roujun paused for a moment with the hand holding the towel, then his gaze swept over Qi Xu's body calmly, and after a pause, he asked, "Did you get along well with Ling Jiangyuan during this time?"

"Very good." Qi Xu said casually.

"Well, after all, he's your uncle," Qi Roujun said, "I've taken care of you for so long, and if I have time someday, I'd better come to thank you in person."

"No need." Qi Xu said, "He's not the kind of person who seeks profit."

Qi Roujun stopped walking: "I rarely see you get along so well with others." Qi Roujun's eyes flickered with an indescribable light.

Qi Xu didn't take it very seriously, for him, even if Qi Roujun knew about it, he didn't care.

But he wouldn't take the initiative to tell him about his relationship with Ling Jiangyuan.

Seeing that Qi Xu didn't answer, Qi Rou Jun didn't continue to ask, but just said: "Xiao Xu, you have to measure yourself."

After putting all the things in order, it was almost time for dinner, Qi Xu accompanied Qi Roujun to finish dinner, sent Qi Roujun to the taxi, and then called Ling Jiangyuan.

Ling Jiangyuan is in cappuccino, let him go there quickly, there is something important.

Only when Qi Xu arrived did he realize that today is Li Lang's birthday, but he didn't prepare anything.

There was a cake in the middle of the stool, made by Lin Miaomiao and specially asked Xie Congjia to bring over, with only one candle stuck in it.Seeing Qi Xu coming in, Liu Jiajia immediately booed, "You're finally here, we thought you didn't plan to give gifts, so we just ran away!"

Qi Xu thought to himself that he really didn't prepare a gift.

However, Ling Jiangyuan probably thought of this matter long ago, took out a guitar case, and said, "I gave it to Qi Xu together."

Xie Congjia stepped forward: "You bought a new guitar?"

Liu Jiajia said: "No way, even if I bought a new guitar, the wolf can't use it, he is so nostalgic."

Ling Jiangyuan opened the guitar case, and Liu Jiajia looked disappointed: "It's still the same one as before."

"Well." Ling Jiangyuan said, "But the repair price is much more expensive than the price of buying a new guitar. The wolf must not dislike me—dislike us as stingy."

Xie Congjia took it out and looked at it for a while, and found that all the strings were replaced with good ones, and even other parts of the guitar were repaired.Li Lang held it in his hand and tried to play it. The tone was actually better than before. He finally showed a sincere smile and said, "Thank you."

Qi Xu also transferred a thousand red envelopes to Li Lang as his birthday present.

Liu Jiajia scolded him for being vulgar and careless.

Xie Congjiale laughed: "We all thought you came here so late to buy gifts."

"No." Qi Xu said casually, "School starts today, so I'll report."

As soon as Qi Xu said these words, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and no one spoke for a while.Xie Congjia paused, and was about to speak, but Liu Jiajia turned to look at him and asked, "Have you gone back to study?"

"Yeah." Qi Xu nodded, also a little lost in thought, "Didn't Ling Jiangyuan tell you?"

Liu Jiajia frowned slightly and said, "No."

Xie Congjia cleared his throat, glanced over Liu Jiajia, quickly changed the subject, and said, "Jiajia, what gift did you buy? Take it out and have a look."

Qi Xu was sent out by Xie Congjia to get delivery. Today was Li Lang's treat for Chinese food. He waited at the door for a long time before he found someone. He casually walked towards the basement with a cigarette in his mouth. When he reached the end of the corridor, he found the door closed. Leave a seam.

Qi Xu didn't think too much, and stepped forward to push the door, but the moment he put his hand on the door, Liu Jiajia's voice came out from the crack of the door: "Ling Jiangyuan, you must be sick."

Qi Xu's movements stopped.

He lowered his eyes, a glint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he put down his hands.

"Have you ever thought about what it means for Qi Xu to go back to study?" Liu Jiajia said with a mocking smile, "I fucking understand, you've always just treated cappuccino as a fart."

No one in the room spoke, and amidst the silence, Ling Jiangyuan's sudden voice seemed particularly prominent.

He said: "He has the opportunity to continue studying, why not let him continue?"

The tone was very calm, but there was a hint of ambiguity. After Ling Jiangyuan finished speaking, he even raised his head slightly to look at Liu Jiajia, with a certain look in his eyes: "None of us can be so selfish."

Liu Jiajia was finally irritated. He stretched out his hand and kicked the drum set aside. The drum made a muffled "boom" sound: "cnm Ling Jiangyuan, who are you calling selfish!? Are you embarrassed to say that we are selfish?" ——" Liu Jiajia raised her hand and was about to land a punch on Ling Jiangyuan's face.

Xie Congjia blocked it with a gloomy face, but Ling Jiangyuan stood there without moving, allowing the two of them to move.

The door was kicked open suddenly, and the sound echoed in this confined space, which was particularly obvious.

Qi Xu rushed to the front of Ling Jiangyuan at the fastest speed in his life, blocking him behind him.He held Ling Jiangyuan's hand tightly and said, "What do you want to do?"

"*." Liu Jiajia failed to hit his fist and was blocked by Xie Congjia. He kicked the cake that was on the table away with one kick, pointed at Xie Congjia's nose and cursed, "You two stand together Ling Jiangyuan, right?! Have you forgotten who the one who betrayed us was? Are you fucking mean? Ah!"

After Liu Jiajia finished speaking, she was obviously even angrier, but her eyes were red.

Xie Congjia silently turned his head away and looked away.

Li Lang hugged the guitar, stared fixedly at the broken cake, and said, "It's a waste."

Ling Jiangyuan pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, but things are different between me and Qi Xu, I..."

Qi Xu grabbed Ling Jiangyuan's hand suddenly, pulled him into his arms, and interrupted Ling Jiangyuan's words: "I can still write songs, anyway, your band won't have anything without me here." He His face was ugly, and his eyes were full of shadows.

"Xiaoxu..." Ling Jiangyuan frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Qi Xu grabbed Ling Jiangyuan's wrist, pulled him and walked out: "Since no one welcomes you here, why are you still here?!"

Qi Xu slammed the door with a loud slam.

Qi Xu started the motorcycle and looked sideways at Ling Jiangyuan.

Ling Jiangyuan stood there for a long time, finally let out a foul breath, and said, "Xiaoxu, you go back first, I want to be quiet."

Qi Xu looked at him: "I accompany you?"

"No," Ling Jiangyuan said, "I want to be alone, sorry." Ling Jiangyuan turned and left.

Qi Xu watched his back gradually disappear into the corner, but finally couldn't hold back and smashed the helmet in his hand to the ground, cursing fiercely.Qi Xu took out the motorcycle key, casually dumped it on the ground, and squatted on the side of the street to smoke.

Qi Xu hid behind the bushes not far from the cappuccino bar, and after seeing it for about 10 minutes, Liu Jiajia also left with a sullen face.The car that came to pick him up was a Mercedes.

After Qi Xu smoked a whole cigarette, Xie Congjia also came out. Qi Xu thought he was going home, but he didn't want Xie Congjia to look around for a while, and then walked towards Qi Xu's direction.

Under a shadow, Qi Xu didn't raise his head, but Xie Congjia said, "Can I borrow a cigarette?"

Qi Xu shook out a cigarette from the box, and lit it for Xie Congjia with a lighter.

Xie Congjia sat down beside Qi Xu, and said, "My family doesn't allow me to smoke, and I will definitely be scolded when I go back today."

Qi Xupi twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile.

"You should know." Xie Congjia sighed, and thick smoke came out of his throat, "Jiang Yuan dropped out of school a few years ago and came to work with us in a band."

Qi Xu said "Yes", "I know."

"At that time we were very serious and regarded it as a lifelong dream." Xie Congjia said, "Later, Jiang Yuan was in the same situation as you, and had to take the college entrance examination. In fact, I also had to take the college entrance examination at that time, but I am a person, no I want to go to such a good university, so the gangsters will pass, but Jiang Yuan is different."

Xie Congjia said this, and sighed faintly: "He stopped playing the band for the college entrance examination, and went back to school. At that time, Liu Jiajia smashed his bass, saying that he would be a pig when he saw Jiang Yuan. Later, Ling Jiangyuan was admitted. After college, after a while, Liu Jiajia still went to him and asked him if he wanted to continue. Although Liu Jiajia usually doesn’t care about five things, he actually really likes cappuccino.”

Qi Xu said "Oh": "Understandable." Although he could understand, Qi Xu was still very upset that Ling Jiangyuan was being bullied.

"At that time, we had a very important opportunity, because Ling Jiangyuan gave up, all of us missed that opportunity. Before meeting you, we never had that opportunity again," Xie Congjia smiled, "So although Liu Jiajia I didn't ask him why, and I didn't say anything, but I was complaining all the time."

"What about you?" Qi Xu turned his head and looked at Xie Congjia with some puzzlement, "You don't complain?"

"No complaint." Xie Congjia shook his head, "I can understand. Because Li Lang and Liu Jiajia don't know..."

Xie Congjia lowered his head and smiled: "Ling Jiangyuan is your distant relative, you should know what's going on in his family."

Qi Xu was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know.The so-called distant relatives just don't understand. He only knows that the wife of Ling Jiangyuan's father, Lingdu, is his aunt, and he can't get away with it.

"You don't know?" Xie Congjia was taken aback, "Jiang Yuan's mother is called Jiang Rong."

Qi Xu was stunned for a moment, shouldn't his aunt be named Qi?

Xie Congjia explained: "Jiang Yuan is the illegitimate child of the Ling family, and he returned to the Ling family when he was eight years old. Ling Du's original partner also died that year. Think about it, you were not even born at that time." Xie Congjia sighed "I have always had a good relationship with Jiang Yuan. We were roommates in the same dormitory in high school, so I know something about his family."

"Jiang Yuan dropped out of school to start a band. Aunt Jiang didn't know about it. Later, she found out... Aunt Jiang, how should I put it?" Xie Congjia paused, considering a suitable adjective, "I hope my son will become a dragon. I really hope that Jiang Yuan It can be successful, even to the point of being a bit crazy, plus the Ling family originally only had one...somewhat disabled and sickly son, so after having Jiang Yuan, the Ling family pinned all their hopes on Jiang Yuan."

"After the incident about Jiang Yuan dropping out of school broke out," Xie Congjia sighed, flicked down the ash of the cigarette in his hand, and lowered his eyes, "it was so exaggerated that the city was full of wind and rain. Whether Yuan was threatened by Aunt Jiang or returned to school and gave up the band, I don't know exactly what happened."

After Xie Congjia was silent for a long time, Qi Xu didn't speak.

He watched the smoke in his hand burn to the end, and then asked, "Why didn't you tell Liu Jiajia and Li Lang?"

"This is Jiang Yuan's privacy, I promised him not to mention it to the band members." Xie Congjia smiled, "But you are different, you are a boyfriend."

"I don't think I'm any different." Qi Xu muffled, "I don't know as much as you do."

"Actually, I haven't seen Jiang Yuan so happy for a long time." Xie Congjia said, "When we were in a band together, he was very happy and full of longing for the future, but later on it was rare to see him smiling so heartily. After the two of you got together, I got back a little bit of the feeling I had back then."

After Xie Congjia finished speaking, he patted his buttocks and stood up: "I've said everything I need to say. Miaomiao is still waiting for me at home, so I'm leaving."

Qi Xu waved his hand at him, and in the smoke, he saw his back gradually drifting away.

Qi Xu sat on the spot for a long time, until he heard a rustling sound behind him, turned his head and saw Li Lang's broken guitar.

Li Lang stood up and looked at him.

"..." Qi Xu coughed, "You..."

"I was smoking in the back," Li Lang said, "I didn't mean to listen."

Qi Xu: "..."

Li Lang stepped across the flower stage and sat down beside Qi Xu: "Liu Jiajia's character is like this, so don't mind too much."

Qi Xu let out an "ah", a little puzzled.

Li Lang said: "I apologize to you on his behalf." He paused, then continued, "Also, this is not only our band, but also yours."

After Li Lang finished speaking, he got up and left.It was only then that Qi Xu realized that Li Lang's words were in response to the sentence he said just now when he was angry, "Anyway, your band won't have anything without me here".

Qi Xu stood up suddenly and called out "Li Lang".

Li Lang didn't stop walking, but slowed down a bit.

Qi Xu then said: "I will not give up."

Li Lang paused for a moment, then raised his right hand high and put his thumb up.I didn't even look back.
