back edge

Xie Jingnian played until early in the morning, and opened two more gears, but still failed to become the queen.

The noise outside was intermittent and began to quiet down, but Xie Jingnian had already been worn down so that he no longer felt sleepy.

He downloaded a music app from the software store that came with his phone, and searched for a sleep-promoting playlist in it.

Most of them are popular songs in a short video, with simple melodies and easy-to-remember lyrics.I couldn't fall asleep at first, but now it's even worse, my mind is full of the chorus above, and the song keeps repeating.

Xie Jingnian closed the app, opened Weibo, and stayed in the search bar for a long time.After refreshing the hot search terms several times, he finally typed out what he wanted on the Sogou keyboard.

The Weibo avatar has a pure black background, with only the simple word "Ban Ren" on it. It looks a bit ordinary, but it has 26 fans.

He thought, maybe there were more fans before.

The latest Weibo has only a few short words: take a rest for one year.

Xie Jingnian couldn't hold back the corners of his lips.This Weibo looks very old-fashioned.

Scrolling down, there are basically performance announcements and album posters.When turning to a video, he stopped.I can't tell what it is on the cover, there is no copywriting, but there are tens of thousands of comments below.

The video is less than 2 minutes in total, and it is not coherent. It should be a fragment intercepted from the complete video.

The lights flickered in the camera, the fog of dry ice permeated the stage, and the shouts of the audience faintly overshadowed the music, but Xie Jingnian's gaze was attracted by one person from the beginning to the end.

Chen Jiu was only wearing a black leather jacket, and when he strummed the guitar, he occasionally showed some abdominal muscles, causing the female music fans to scream wildly for him.

He held the microphone stand with his knuckle hand and moved recklessly on the stage.Later he even sat on the stereo, the long microphone stand at a 45-degree angle to the ground.After another burst of intensive drumming, he took down the microphone, threw the microphone stand on the ground, and sang the lyrics that Xie Jingnian couldn't understand clearly between his lips and teeth.

Xie Jingnian still remembers the restless and rioting crowd, the foggy stage, and the clear and crisp drumbeat.But he only forgot what kind of eyes Chen Jiu had just now.

Probably as hot as fire.

This other side is too attractive to Xie Jingnian.Perhaps the hero complex at the beginning was just a fuse.Then at this moment, the fuse was ignited by a spark named Chen Jiu, detonating all the secrets in his heart in an instant.

The fingertips that slid the screen trembled a little.In the darkness, he looked like a thief who had done something wrong, his heart was beating rapidly, and he didn't know what to expect.

Finally, until Weibo two years ago.Also only a few minutes long.Around the end of a certain show.

Chen Kui sat on the edge of the stage shaking hands with the audience, and fell down on the stage when he got tired.Xie Jingnian also saw Zhou Yantong, who was standing behind the keyboard drinking water, the loose ends of his hair stuck to the side of his face with sweat, his brows were flamboyant, and he didn't look like such a kind person at all.

Chen Xi lay there panting heavily, he asked the audience, have you bought the new album?

Some of the audience said they bought it, while others said they didn't.Some people asked Chen Xi whether he bought it or not.

Chen Xi sat up, took off the guitar and threw it aside, and replied that the new album is great, and he would definitely regret not buying it.

The audience asked him again, did you buy it?

Chen Xi smiled, and when he was about to leave the stage after packing up his things, he told the audience that he didn't buy it.

As the camera moves, come to the background.Someone came to interview Chen Xi with a notebook.

The man asked him, why can he persist in playing in the band for so long, is it for ideals and love?

Chen Xi was originally sleepy and unable to get up, but after hearing this, he looked at the camera, the corners of his mouth curled up, but his tone was serious.

"Loving music? It's too fake. Who doesn't want to be famous, practice, tour, write songs, release songs, who don't work hard just to make money."

"Without money, what do you use to love music to realize your dreams? Use your heart that weighs only [-] grams, or a mouth that can't eat enough?"

The video stops here.

Xie Jingnian's heart also set off a wave, which was deafening when it surged, mixed with the sound of the beating heart filling his whole mind, especially clear in the silent night.

The tide did not subside until the next day.

"At the same table!" Jia Feichen touched Xie Jingnian's leg under the table. Seeing that he didn't respond, he directly beat him with his hands under the teacher's gaze, "The teacher calls you!"

Xie Jingnian suddenly recovered from the pain in his back, stood up and answered a choice c.

"This is fucking reading comprehension!" Zhuang Jie hurriedly kicked Jia Feichen's stool from behind to urge him, "Tell him which question is the first question!"

Before the Chinese teacher was about to get angry, Jia Feichen pointed out the question number to Xie Jingnian.Indeed, it has nothing to do with choosing c. The question is what rhetorical techniques are used in the selection of the article.

Xie Jingnian escaped by misreading the question number.

"Scared me to death, you dare to slip away from Mijue Shitai's class? Are you crazy!" Even though Jia Feichen lowered his voice, he could hear his shock.

Miejue Shitai is the nickname they gave to the Chinese teacher. She is obviously a beautiful woman under 30 years old, but she has a bad temper. The vice principal can stand up to the wind.In the second grade of high school, his status is second only to Ji Heyi.

Facing the gaze cast by Miejue Shitai, Jia Feichen faltered for a second, did not dare to speak anymore, and sat upright.As soon as the get out of class bell rang, he immediately went to Xie Jingnian to ask questions, his face full of anticipation: "What do you mean by the WeChat message you sent me last night?"

Xie Jingnian answered him literally.

"You didn't lie to me?"

"What are you two talking about?" Zhuang Jie eavesdropped for a long time, but didn't understand what was going on, and went straight to Raja Feichen, "What WeChat?"

"Cough!" Jia Feichen turned his head, straightened his back, and stood on the chair as if he felt that it wasn't enough, talking condescendingly to Zhuang Jie, "Your elder brother, I have peach blossoms!"

"Who are you and the two big brothers..." Zhuang Jie performed a fancy face-changing scene for the two of them on the spot, "Fuck! How can there be girls like you like you?"

Jia Feichen didn't speak, his eyebrows moved more dexterously than his eyes, as if he asked my tablemate if he didn't believe it.

Zhuang Jie looked at him for help: "Tell me, it's not true."

"It's true." Xie Jingnian mercilessly cut off Zhuang Jie's thoughts.

"Fuck!" Zhuang Jie's whole body was numb, and he could only repeat this somewhat unpleasant word in his mouth, which fully demonstrated his poor vocabulary.

"Okay, good brother." Jia Feichen sat down and patted Zhuang Jie on the shoulder, with a pitiful tone, "We all know that you are the cultural desert of our sixth class, so there is no need to show off."

"Fuck off! You're a cultural desert!" Zhuang Jie didn't feel relieved when he cursed back. After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your whole family is a cultural desert!"

Jia Feichen was overjoyed when he heard it, and his crazy laughter echoed in the class.He couldn't help himself laughing, so he insisted on pulling Xie Jingnian: "Hey, at the same table, how can you say he is so childish."

Xie Jingnian nodded perfunctorily, lying on the table and closing his eyes to rest.

In a daze, he saw Chen Xi standing on the stage playing the guitar, and the audience around him were still so enthusiastic.They were emotional and kept pushing Xie Jingnian.

He heard Chen Xi singing, humming a tune he had never heard before, and looked over with a pair of eyes.

Later, he saw Chen Xi take off his guitar, take off his coat, and leave his upper body naked.All the audience disappeared, leaving only the two of them in the huge venue.Xie Jingnian stood under the stage and looked up at Chen Xi, he could even see the sweat slowly flowing down Chen Xi's neck.

Xie Jingnian thought for a moment, how wonderful it would be if he was that drop of sweat.
