Cappuccino Rhapsody

"The problem with the rhyme is not very big, but the rhyme here and here need to be slightly revised." Ling Jiangyuan pointed to the crumpled draft paper and said, "Your biggest problem with this song is actually the lyrics. Why do you have to Adding so many...well, gorgeous rhetoric? When writing lyrics, the most important thing is to express emotions, not to show one's literary background or self-cultivation."

Qi Xu blushed when he said that, because it was undeniable that during the two days and nights he had been entangled with this song, he was indeed thinking of ways to write the lyrics more culturally.

Ling Jiangyuan talked about the question for a long time, and finally his mouth was dry, so he raised his head to look at Qi Xu, and asked, "Do you understand?"

"...Well." Qi Xu said, "You go in first, I'll change it before going in."

"It's okay, I'll accompany you, you can ask me anything."

"Oh, good." Qi Xu leaned against the railing a little uncomfortably, picked up a pen, and sank his thoughts into this thin draft paper.

Although Ling Jiangyuan said a lot, there were not too many things that needed to be revised. After about half an hour, Qi Xu had almost made the corrections. He raised his head and was about to speak, but found that Ling Jiangyuan had fallen asleep.

The other party was leaning against the wall made of square bricks, his eyes were closed tightly, and the extremely long eyelashes drooped under his eyes, casting a small shadow.His eyes were black and blue, as if he hadn't rested for a while.

Qi Xu looked at it for a while before realizing that something was wrong with his state.

So he hurriedly looked away, stood up loudly, and said loudly: "It's done!"

Ling Jiangyuan woke up suddenly: "Huh? Are you ready? Let me see."

Ling Jiangyuan rubbed his eyes, took the thin piece of paper from Qi Xu's hand, yawned, read it carefully, and finally smiled: "It's much better, let's go in."

Qi Xu's ears turned red inexplicably, and he walked in behind Ling Jiangyuan.

When the last melody fell, Liu Jiajia took the lead in applauding, and the others followed suit.Liu Jiajia praised: "It's really much better, it sounds much better."

Xie Congjia also nodded: "Well, it's much better."

Qi Xu touched his nose and turned his eyes away: "There is no difference at all, but since you say this is better, then it is better."

Ling Jiangyuan smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"Just... it's okay." Qi Xu said, "Didn't I change everything according to your ideas?"

"I just made a general suggestion, but you actually changed the details yourself." Ling Jiangyuan patted his head, "You are great."

Qi Xu's ears turned red.

He cleared his throat, said "um", and said awkwardly, "Thank you."

"This is the praise you deserve." Ling Jiangyuan patted him on the back, "Go back and change your draft paper, and change it to a more serious paper, and then we will find a time to give this song to you. Record it and try to find a place to cast it as soon as possible.”

Everyone nodded.

"Then let's do that for today."

Qi Xu went back and searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable notebook, so he finally had to pull out the same paper and copy the music and lyrics again.In the evening of the next day, a few people made an appointment to meet at the secret base of Cappuccino. Because Qi Xu couldn't find a place, Ling Jiangyuan came out to pick him up.

"Let me see your serious paper." Ling Jiangyuan said, "What kind of paper did you change it to?"

Qi Xu handed out the carefully folded paper.

Ling Jiangyuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, he smoothed out the creases without saying anything.

The so-called secret base of Cappuccino is actually in the basement of Cappuccino. Pass through Xie Congjia’s residence that Qi Xu walked through before, and then walk in there is a long, dark, winding staircase, Ling Jiangyuan He stomped the ground with his foot, and the dim light came on.

Qi Xu walked down behind Ling Jiangyuan, he was a little afraid of the dark, and took every step carefully.

After turning a long bend, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Cappuccino occupies a large area, while the basement is completely copied and pasted from the above area. More than half of the nearly 300 square meters are piled up with various sundries, and the other [-] square meters are obviously belong to them.Among the four walls, one side is completely covered, and two sides are half-blocked, exposing the white wall. The wall near the door is covered with graffiti, which is signed by the owner of the cappuccino. name.

There is a table about half a meter in the middle of the room, and a drum set is placed on the table.

Liu Jiajia knocked hard with the drum stick, and with a "boom", there was a sudden echo in the room.

"Do you like it?" Ling Jiangyuan suddenly turned his head and asked him.

"Yeah," Qi Xu looked around, with a bright light in his eyes, "I like it very much."

"Just like it." Ling Jiangyuan quickened his pace, walking to Xie Congjia's side while talking, "Congjia, have you borrowed anything yet?"

"I borrowed it." Xie Congjia threw up the small tape in his hand and said, "I borrowed this one. But it should be enough."

"Hey, I'm talking about you..." Liu Jiajia rolled her eyes and said, "I told my dad to help us find a recording studio. You guys are not happy about it. How old are you and you still make tapes? Are you sure? After we record it and send it out, will someone listen to it?"

"It's called retro," Xie Congjia said, "What do you know?"

Liu Jiajia stuck out her tongue and looked at Qi Xu as if seeking an ally: "Qi Xu, do you think we should pay for a recording studio? Of course you don't need to pay for this money."

"Anything is fine." Qi Xu didn't have much thought about this.

Liu Jiajia failed to seek an alliance, so she jumped onto the stage listlessly.

Qi Xu took a shabby-looking stool, and the moment he sat down, he was even a little worried that he would just fall off.

But luckily, the stool looks pretty tattered, but it's pretty solid.

Everyone in the cappuccino had their own stand, and when Qi Xu finished studying the tape, several people had already taken their stand.Qi Xu caught Ling Jiangyuan in the corner on the right at a glance. Although the other party stood very far back, he was the one who attracted his attention the most.

It looks gentle and gentle, and it doesn't look like the drum set in front of him.Qi Xu thought so in his heart.

At the same time, Qi Xu made an OK gesture to the people on the stage, and Li Lang's first voice came out of his throat in a low voice.

"No one misses you..."

"No one is like a dehydrated fish."

……

Ling Jiangyuan's rhythm starts from the middle and only appears in the second paragraph.The first part of this song is in the style of a gentle love song, and it suddenly turns into a rock style in the second stanza, which can be regarded as a bold attempt in the current market.

After all, in the current market, such a fusion of genres is still very rare.

The moment Ling Jiangyuan held the drum stick and knocked it down, his aura changed abruptly, his chin slightly raised, and his eyes chased Qi Xu's body.

Qi Xu couldn't help but froze.

He wore a denim jacket today. Because the basement was too hot, he took off the jacket and only a white short-sleeved T-shirt remained.The thin sweat slightly overflowing his body outlines the shape of his abdominal muscles, and his seemingly thin figure actually contains exciting strength.

When Ling Jiangyuan raised his hand, a small portion of his tender but firm belly was revealed, like a ray of light suddenly shining in this dark world.

Qi Xu couldn't help clenching the tape in his hand.

"I'm the dehydrated fish."

The last sentence came to an end, and Qi Xu subconsciously pressed the end.

Everyone on the stage took a deep breath panting, silence for a moment to drive away all the hustle and bustle just now, Qi Xu sat under the stage and looked at Ling Jiangyuan, at that moment he heard his heart urgently, "Boom boom Boom" sound.

"Clap clap-"

The sudden applause suddenly woke up the person who seemed to be in a dream.

"A new song?" A person walked in, wearing a long-sleeved hoodie with a zipper, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's very good."

"Lao Niu." Li Lang nodded at him rarely, looking familiar.

"This is the boss of Cappuccino." Ling Jiangyuan jumped off the stage and introduced by Qi Xu's side, "This is our new member, and he wrote this song."

Qi Xu took a step to the side, avoiding Ling Jiangyuan's steaming body after exercising just now.

The hot air teased every nerve in him.

"Oh, you wrote it." The old cow lit a cigarette, "It sounds nice, it's a seedling. Looks pretty young, doesn't it?"

"I haven't taken the college entrance examination yet." Liu Jiajia interjected, "You must be very talented."

Lao Niu boasted "hmm" before saying, "Xiao Ling, come out with me for a while, I have something to tell you."

Ling Jiangyuan was taken aback for a moment, then handed the drum stick in his hand to Qi Xu: "Help me get it. You guys practice first."

Several people listened to the song they had just recorded, and they were quite satisfied.Liu Jiajia even said: "I think we can meet our bosom friend this time."

"Thank you." Xie Congjia patted Qi Xu's shoulder.

Qi Xu blinked and said, "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette." By the way, he asked Xie Congjia for a cigarette.

Xie Congjia said: "I don't have a cigarette, you ask Li Lang to go."

Qi Xu didn't talk to Li Lang much.In his opinion, this man is as dangerous as his name, not to mention that he is often silent, rarely speaks, and occasionally glances over him as if he wants to eat people.

Seeing Qi Xu hesitate, Liu Jiajia smiled and patted Li Lang on the back, saying, "This kid is afraid of you."

How could Qi Xu be so underestimated? He rolled his eyes and said, "Li, give me a cigarette."

Xie Congjia and Liu Jiajia were stunned together.

Li Lang paused, turned his head, and took a fixed look at Qi Xu.

"Give it or not?" Qi Xu said arrogantly.

After a moment of silence, Li Lang took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw it over.

Qi Xu cleared his throat, put it in the corner of his mouth, and said casually, "Thank you."

Qi Xu went out and was about to go out when he suddenly heard Ling Jiangyuan's voice.

Ling Jiangyuan and Lao Niu were standing in the corridor chatting, a little far away, Qi Xu could only vaguely hear the other party mentioning Ling Jiangyuan's mother and going back to school.

Ling Jiangyuan's voice was very low, so low that he could hardly hear clearly.

With that cigarette in his mouth, Qi Xu was so engrossed in listening that he didn't even know when Ling Jiangyuan came over.

Until the sound of footsteps suddenly stopped beside him.

"Qi Xu?"

Qi Xu woke up suddenly, and explained without silver 300 taels here: "...I'm going out to smoke a cigarette."

Ling Jiangyuan slapped him lightly on the head: "Why do you smoke if you are not yet an adult, I remember you don't know how to smoke."

Qi Xu's eyes flickered: "I'm studying."

"..." Ling Jiangyuan took the cigarette dangling from his mouth, squeezed his chin, and said, "You will learn these things when you grow up."

Qi Xu suddenly asked: "Ling Jiangyuan, do you also think it's very irrational and childish for me to drop out of school to pursue music?"

Ling Jiangyuan was slightly taken aback: "Why do you ask such a question suddenly?"

"You also dropped out of school, but you went back to study later, does it mean that you agree with your parents?"

Qi Xu saw an inexplicable light suddenly flashed in Ling Jiangyuan's eyes.

Ling Jiangyuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Maybe."

Qi Xu said: "My dad particularly disapproves of me. He thinks I'm just playing tricks, doing nothing, and doing nothing. But I think my mother would definitely support me if she was still around."

Ling Jiangyuan thought for a moment, and then said: "You should think on the bright side. The reason why your father doesn't let you play these games is because in the eyes of the older generation, people who play music are so-called actors..."

What Ling Jiangyuan said next, to be honest, Qi Xu didn't take it to heart.

Because the lights were off, half of Ling Jiangyuan's face was reflected by the faint light that penetrated from nowhere, making it look extraordinarily beautiful.

Qi Xu was fascinated by it unconsciously.

So when Ling Jiangyuan chattered for a long time, and turned his head to see Qi Xu in a daze, he couldn't help but smile helplessly: "What are you looking at?"

"You." Qi Xu said subconsciously.

Ling Jiangyuan didn't think too much, but raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything dirty on my face?"

At this moment, Qi Xu had recovered his senses: "...Well, you have peppers on your teeth."

Ling Jiangyuan was stunned.

He fiddled with his teeth with his tongue for a long time, but found nothing. He raised his head to ask, but saw that Qi Xu had gone to the secret base without looking back.Ling Jiangyuan let out an "hey" and hurried to catch up, asking, "Where is it?"

Ling Jiangyuan listened to the tape and was quite satisfied. He took a bag and sealed the tape, saying that he would go back and study it before sending it out.

Tonight, Cappuccino had only one performance, and the song Qi Xu wrote was sung again. The audience in the audience was almost danced by the rhythm, making this place reach a climax that has not been reached for a long time.

After coming down from the front desk, Liu Jiajia said: "I found that every time the captain comes to this song, the whole person is like drinking chicken blood, which is very exciting."

Xie Congjia also nodded: "I also found out."

"Speaking of it—" Liu Jiajia rubbed her chin and joked, "Since Qi Xu came, the atmosphere of our band seems to have changed a lot. Especially every time we sing... Isn't the lyrics written by Qi Xu also the captain? Did you help me change it, could it be that you are the one in the legend... Then what is it, Muse! Yes, Muse!"

Xie Congjia slapped Liu Jiajia on the forehead, amused: "You boy, if you don't want to go to university, do you know what muse means? You are muse, nonsense."

Ling Jiangyuan also smiled: "Which TV show did you see the word from?"

Just as Liu Jiajia was about to open his mouth to argue, Qi Xu pushed the door open, put the barbecue in his hand on the table, and said, "Ling Jiangyuan invites everyone to have supper."

Liu Jiajia didn't care about what she just said, and rushed forward: "Brother Wolf, your favorite barbecue is here!"

Li Lang said "hmm", fiddled with the guitar twice, and sat down.

Qi Xu was not hungry, so he sat by and watched the three hungry wolves pounce on food, Ling Jiangyuan looked down at the time: "It's almost time, let's go back first."

"What are you doing back so early? Go back and be a muse." Liu Jiajia smiled after finishing speaking, "Go drink later."

"I'm not going." Ling Jiangyuan patted Qi Xu on the shoulder and said, "The child is not yet full, staying up late is not conducive to growing taller, is it?" After he finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow at Qi Xu, with a mocking look .

Qi Xu remembered the bet they made again, rolled his eyes and said: "Even if I stay up all night, I can outlive you."

Ling Jiangyuan smiled and said, "Maybe you can be a lot taller than me if you don't stay up all night."

Qi Xu rolled his eyes again.

"It's really gone, I have to go back and study which company to send the tape to." Ling Jiangyuan waved his hand after speaking.

A group of hungry ghosts raised their hands and waved while eating barbecue.
