The night before the tour, Xie Jingnian stayed up all night, as if he was performing for the first time, he couldn't fall asleep.

On the day of the tour, it was still dark when he opened his eyes.

Xie Jingnian went to the refrigerator to get an apple, sat on the sofa without peeling it, and gnawed it clean.After washing his hands, he took the electric guitar and held it in his arms.Chen Xi was still asleep, he didn't dare to play it, he just touched it lightly a few times and then put it back.

Looking out of the window at five o'clock in the morning, there were only bits and pieces of light in the neighborhood. Xie Jingnian bit the pendant, and was dazzled by the streetlights after staring at it for a long time.

Xie Jingnian was thinking dully, when will brother Jiu wake up from sleep.He had a sudden craving for breakfast at the shop downstairs.

He was staring blankly when suddenly someone hugged him from behind.

The air conditioner in the room was turned on low, and Xie Jingnian felt cold all over his body.Chen Xi just got out of bed, his body was very hot.His chest was pressed against Xie Jingnian's back, and the heat was continuously transmitted to him through two layers of thin pajamas.

"Wake up so early." Chen Xi's voice was low and hoarse, and he looked lazy and intoxicating when he woke up in the morning.

As soon as the person posted it, Xie Jingnian felt like a hot gun was pressed against his lower back, and he dared not move against him.

"Well, I can't sleep." Xie Jingnian supported Chen Xi's weight, bent his back, propped his hands on the window, turned his head to look at Chen Xi's half-opened eyes, "Brother Yu, why did you wake up so early?"

Chen Kui's hand poked in from the hem of Xie Jingnian's pajamas, and walked over the slightly cool skin, until he felt his body warm up before withdrawing his hand.

"I can't sleep either." Chen Xi said.

Xie Jingnian slammed his forehead on the glass and exposed Chen Xi in a muffled voice: "You are lying."

Chen Xi laughed, and the tiny vibrations in his chest seemed to be transmitted from the place where they touched all the way to his heart, which made people's heart skip a beat.

Wearing pajamas and slippers, they bought freshly baked steamed buns in the early hours of summer.

Xie Jingnian was carrying a bag of buns and holding Chen Xi's hand, completely forgetting what he was nervous about last night.

The five members of the band finally met at the hottest time of noon, still sitting in the familiar car.

As soon as Yu Ning got into the car, he began to feel drowsy, and he looked like he hadn't slept all night, and the black and blue eyes were particularly obvious.

He leaned against Xie Jingnian and squinted for a long time without falling asleep, he kept moving around restlessly.

Chen Xi hugged Xie Jingnian, and immediately patted Yu Ning awake: "Go over there."

Yu Ning dazedly touched his face, tilted his head, leaned against the car door and continued to sleep.

Zhou Yantong glanced in the rearview mirror: "What are you doing, let go of your hands."

Chen Xi was unmoved, and even hugged Xie Jingnian even more tightly, while flicking his phone with the other hand.

Xie Jingnian leaned over to look, and found that Chen Xi was checking Weibo.

Xie Jingnian and Chen Xi have known each other for so long, and it is rare to see him posting Weibo or short videos.

On the screen of Chen Yu's mobile phone is a promotional poster of a band, which should be a digital album that will be released on music software soon.

Xie Jingnian didn't see the name of the band.Chen Xi put his mobile phone into his pocket, leaned over and put his head on Xie Jingnian's shoulder: "I'll sleep for a while."

Xie Jingnian sat upright all the way, the side of his face was itchy from Chen Xi's breathing, and his earlobes were even red.

The first show of the tour was at a livehouse in the capital.They booked a nearby hotel, and Xie Jingnian lived with Chen Xi again.

"Brother Rotten, I..."

"What's wrong?" Chen Kui was taking off his T-shirt, when he heard him speak, he turned his head immediately.His clothes were draped over his forearms, and he stood there exposing his darker-skinned body.

Xie Jingnian stopped talking.

Chen Xi came over and pressed him on the bed, and lightly kissed him on the lips: "Tomorrow you only have to have fun, and don't think about anything else."

Xie Jingnian hugged Chen Xi's neck, sniffing the familiar scent with the tip of his nose, he felt particularly at ease.

Chen Xi didn't hear him speak, and lowered his voice again, threateningly: "Understood?"

Xie Jingnian kissed him sideways, nodded: "I see."

With a smile on his face involuntarily, Xie Jingnian rubbed his forehead against Chen Xi's neck, feeling an indescribable irony in his heart, and even began to look forward to the upcoming tour tomorrow.

His first tour, together with Chen Xi.

The livehouse equipment for the show needs to be adjusted by itself.In fact, Xie Jingnian had already learned how to tune the guitar and speakers, but he still stood there with the guitar in his arms, looking at Chen Jiu with his eyes.

Why didn't Chen Kui know his little thoughts, and walked over to him with a smile in his eyes to debug it with his own hands.

"If you're nervous, it's up to me." Chen Xi said.

Crowds of people poured into the enclosed venue, they held up fluorescent banners, and silently lit the name of Anti-Blade in the darkness.

Xie Jingnian heard some of them calling Chen Xi's name, hearing Yu Ning... and hearing himself in the voice.

His hand holding the electric guitar trembled a little, and he clenched the neck of the guitar involuntarily, his heart beating violently with the waves of shouts.

Chen Kui opened his mouth and introduced the name of Anti-Blade very simply. The moment the light came on, he flicked the microphone with his fingers.

A crisp sound reverberated in the venue like a sonic wave, and the venue fell silent instantly. The volume decayed and touched the eardrums, causing a tingling itch.

From the very beginning, Xie Jingnian only had Chen Xi in his eyes, and all the scores had formed muscle memory. The combination of the heavy drums in his ears and Chen Xi's voice made Xie Jingnian's heart vibrate.

Chen Xi supported Mike, and asked them if they bought a new album in the same old-fashioned way.

Xie Jingnian and Zhou Yantong looked at each other, and they could see a smile on each other's faces.

It was like going back to the first time I saw Chen Xi in the video again.

The audience in the audience responded enthusiastically to Chen Xi, shouting in unison to buy it.There are also those who urge him to sing the next song quickly.

Chen Kui laughed hoarsely: "I'm tired, take a break."

He glanced at Xie Jingnian who was standing there looking at him, and suddenly said: "Give us guitarists a chance."

The audience in the audience liked to boo and join in the fun, and now all their attention was shifted to Xie Jingnian, shouting in unison for him to solo.

Chen Xi had intentionally or unintentionally asked him to practice solo before, but Xie Jingnian did not expect to show it at this time.

He listened to the quiet space without a single sound, the sound of the strings being plucked came out through the speakers and entered his ears with some messy noises.

Xie Jingnian also read comments on the Internet. Many people said that he does not look like a guitarist in a rock band, because he is too quiet, saying that he is not suitable for rock and roll.

Xie Jingnian never cared about these remarks, because only he himself knows how much he loves rock and roll.

Perhaps Chen Xi also knew.

They kissed at the backstage of the performance, in the continuous and enthusiastic applause and screams of the audience, in the imaginary grand blessing.

Xie Jingnian thought that he would accompany Chen Xi through the 99 tours, and tell him I love you during one of the tours.

But this was only the first match, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
