Thirteen Bass

Bai Lang woke up from the dream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the lemon tree and the bright sunshine outside the window.The sea breeze lifted the curtains slightly, revealing the blue ocean without a trace of variegation.

He felt a little unreal.

It seemed that yesterday he was still alone in the school apartment, worrying about life after graduation every day, and feeling uneasy about whether he could go to Europe.His family is far away on the other side of the ocean, and he has nothing but the bow in his hand.

But now, every day when he wakes up, he can see the sun, the sea, flowers, all these things that are only associated with beauty.The idols they had a crush on became the closest lovers. They fell in love passionately and stuck together almost 24 hours a day, exchanging music, exchanging soul or body.

The relationship between him and Qi Sinian didn't seem to have the running-in period that other couples need, and there was no need for an overture, introduction or prelude. They immediately entered the climax of the movement and continued their passionate love.

It's like a natural fit.

Life in Positano was peaceful and beautiful, but short.

Bai Lang sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day, gets up and eats the breakfast Qi Sinian made for him, and earnestly learns to water the flowers and plants in the yard.Sometimes he would go swimming at the beach with Qi Sinian, and tried surfing and paragliding with some sports-loving uncles in the town.

Most of the time, he prefers to walk in the small town hand in hand with Qi Sinian under the summer sun, as if he had retired early.When you are tired from walking, buy a gelato made by the former president himself. When you walk home along the alley, you just finish the last bite.

Under the lemon tree in the yard outside the window, Bai Lang and Qi Sinian completed a brand new duet together - this is a sweet and long piece of music.The harmony is exquisite and long, and the lines are harmonious. Every bar and every variation expresses the trembling of the soul in the gratification of the two.

Time seems to have settled down, and before you know it, the deadline for the holiday is approaching.

During this period, Bai Lang and Qi Sinian's neighbors changed several times.Most of them are tourists who stay for a day or two. The only thing that remains the same is Mr. Downey, the landlord who is very leisurely and wanders around every day.

It was only later that Bai Lang found out that Mr. Downey's surname belonged to a very famous wealthy family in Italy, and even owned nearly two-thirds of the entire Amalfi Coast's wealth at its most prosperous time.

After getting along for a long time, Bai Lang liked Mr. Downey very much.He has a bold and generous personality without any airs. Although he is over 60 years old, he is still full of energy every day, like a child.A few days ago, he even ordered a valuable cello, clamoring to learn how to play it from Bai Lang, but he threw it aside after a few lessons.

Hearing that Qi Sinian and Bai Lang were about to leave Positano and return to Vienna, one afternoon, Mr. Downey formally invited them to his private garden.

"Can I go too?" Bai Lang and Qi Sinian looked at each other with joy, "I heard it's not open to the public."

"Of course, I don't want to open my secret garden as an attraction that charges tickets. If you lose the mystery, you will lose the fun." Mr. Downey shrugged his shoulders and said, "All the people who have been there so far are friends who have been invited by me."

Bai Lang blinked: "I guess, the whole of Positano is your friend, right?"

"You're right, but it's the first time it has received a musician as young as you." Mr. Downey reached out and took off his top hat, and winked at Bai Lang, "Believe me, it will definitely let You will never forget it."

This garden is at the top of Positano, the highest point of the cliff, walking on the covered bridge overlooking the entire coastline.

Bai Lang and Qi Sinian changed their clothes and slowly walked up a stone step.At the beginning of the path, there were golden lemon trees and a few small shops on the top of the hill. After walking for a while, it turned into a flat road. The walls on both sides were covered with flowers pouring down like waterfalls. The vicissitudes of the old medieval bricks and tiles are embellished extraordinarily warmly and unrestrainedly.

The stone steps are not long, but they are made very carefully. There is an arched corridor at a certain length, and there are sculptures under it. There are figures ranging from Cupid to Venus, and there are many others that Bai Lang can't recognize.

Looking up, the stone steps lead to the tall wall and the covered bridge built along the cliff at the top of the wall.

"Mr. Downey is really too rich!" Bai Lang exclaimed, "It's like owning a castle!"

"It is indeed a castle." Qi Sinian smiled and looked ahead quietly, "The courtyard inside is like a huge maze covered with flowers. When I saw the photo of it from Mr. Downey, I thought it was should exist in Wagner's movement."

Bai Lang thought for a while and understood what he meant, so he asked with a smile, "Is it Klinsha's Magic City?"

——Master Wagner claims to have been inspired in Amalfi to write the second act of the opera "Parsifal": The Magical City of Krintha.In this magical city, the most beautiful flowers in the world are blooming, and there are beautiful women in tulle with coquettish figures who sing songs about looking for lovers day and night with beautiful voices.

Qi Sinian nodded with a smile, and reached out to hold Bai Lang's hand.

"The most beautiful illusory garden in the world, full of temptation and sweet tenderness." Bai Lang thought of certain plots in the opera, and couldn't help but put his fingers into Qi Sinian's, "What if you wait a moment What should I do if I don’t want to leave after just one look?”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Qi Sinian smiled shallowly, with the corners of his mouth raised, "How about I accompany you? Maybe we can sell gelato at the gate of the magic city, claiming that our gelato has been added with the holy grail of purity." magic."

Bai Lang felt that Qi Sinian's statement was obviously stupid, but it made him laugh for no reason.He didn't want Qi Sinian to find out, so he lowered his head and pressed it against Qi Sinian's arm.

Qi Sinian pinched his ear with his fingers, and asked him stubbornly: "What do you think of my proposal?"

Bai Lang looked up at him, and said solemnly: "It sounds much more reliable than performing arts. I like your proposal."

Although Mr. Downey modestly called it a "private garden", in fact its overall structure looks more like a castle in the sky built on a cliff.The part belonging to the back garden occupies a vast area, beautiful and secluded, and further north is the endless forest.

Bai Lang didn't look at the signage and map standing in front of the door, he planned to just walk around casually.

There is no one in the huge garden except them, the sound of the waves is faint, and the melodious music sound from nowhere is drifting with the sea breeze, blowing various flowers, and turning into a tide-like shape under the sun.

Bunches of blue and white gentian and large areas of purple hydrangea form a bustling scene, which is cut into symmetrical shapes by the well-known European-style garden lines.

It is obviously the passionate Mediterranean, but the plants and trees here have grown into an elegant and delicate aristocratic appearance.

Bai Lang was wearing the simplest short-sleeved and sweatpants, and his slippers made a crackling sound when he stepped on the stone floor. He looked at Qi Sinian and complained, "Am I dressing too casually? I should have dressed more formally if I knew it earlier." Come."

Qi Sinian was dressed very neatly, with a crisp silver-gray shirt, which made him tall and handsome, and his waist and hips outlined a beautiful and powerful arc.

It was only then that Bai Lang realized that Qi Sinian's hair was combed back neatly, revealing a smooth and full forehead. He looked elegant and noble, like a nobleman shining on the stage.

Qi Sinian smiled and stretched out his hand towards him, saying: "Today there will only be us here, no one else."

Bai Lang felt a little strange, stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is there no one? Isn't Mr. Downey here?"

"No." Qi Sinian smiled slightly, "So no matter what you wear, only I can see it. I hope that at least today, you can be bold, straightforward and unrestrained, just like your music."

Bai Lang stared at him blankly, his heart suddenly beating violently little by little uncontrollably.

No matter how dull he was, he began to realize that perhaps Qi Sinian brought him here not just to visit the garden as promised.He regretted that he treated it too casually.

Maybe I should put on the most expensive tuxedo, bring my cello, and use the most romantic music in the world to sing the emotions in my heart that cannot be expressed in words.

Bai Lang thought so.

"Only you can see." Bai Lang went to hold Qi Sinian's hand, painted Qi Sinian's gentle eyebrows with his eyes, and said, "Shouldn't that be more handsome? It will make you unable to look away all at once." Kind of."

Qi Sinian stood there, looked at him with a smile for a while, and then said: "You look handsome in whatever you wear, and I can't take my eyes off you."

Bai Lang smiled contentedly.He hugged Qi Sinian and kissed his neck, and felt that Qi Sinian also put his arms around his waist and stroked him deeply.

Thinking of something, Bai Lang couldn't help blushing, and said in a low voice, "Then I might as well not wear anything at all."

Qi Sinian also laughed out loud, kissed Bai Lang's lips slowly, and said next to his ear: "Then I might not be able to hold back—I really fell into this illusory garden full of temptations. "

Bai Lang raised his arms to hold Qi Sinian's face.Qi Sinian's eyes were focused and affectionate. When Bai Lang looked at him, he could feel his love seeping out bit by bit.

"Are you trying to lure me into depravity, but you yourself remain pure and abstinent?" Bai Lang deliberately pretended to be unhappy, and lowered his voice, "It's so unfair."

Qi Sinian gave a low laugh, and shook his chin: "You tell me, when did I abstain from sexual intercourse in front of you?"

Hearing these words, Bai Lang felt both shy and sweet.He raised his wet eyes and smiled suddenly: "So, how are you going to seduce me?"

The author says:

Note:

[1] Mr. Downey has a prototype, a local rich Italian.

Boccaccio's novel "Ten Days Talk" describes several small towns in the Amalfi Sea: "The people living in that area are all big businessmen, all of them are good at doing business, and they are very rich."

This is the paradise of rich people described by Boccaccio. It was once as commercially brilliant as Venice in history, but unfortunately it was very short-lived.From the 19th century, Amalfi became a purely tourist city.

[2] Parsifal: It’s probably about a witch who built an imaginary garden, and put many beautiful women in it to seduce the pure-hearted knights, take away their virginity, and lure them to fall.So Qi Sinian and Bai Lang will use "degenerate" in the dialogue, I didn't say it, and I don't mean to stigmatize X love.
