reverse roundup

The car was parked downstairs of a residential building, not like a serious place to eat.

Xi Wen stood under the street light and waited for Liu Ran to stop and come back. He took off his baseball cap and sunglasses, his hair was half-length, and the ends of his jet-black hair were slightly curled, leaving them slightly above his shoulders. He put his hands in his trouser pockets, One shoulder slanted down slightly, standing crookedly, not very straight, shrunk in the shadow cast by the street lamp, as if unable to see the light, looking up with his head up and his eyes squinting.

Liu Ran came back and looked at him for a while, then raised his hand to stroke his hair, then retracted it awkwardly, "The hair has been dyed back, it's the first time I saw you with black hair, I'm not used to it."

Xi Wen scratched his head, "Isn't it pretty?"

Liu Ran grinned, "How is it possible? The young master is famous for his good looks. Even if you have a rainbow on your head, you are the face of our band."

Young Master is Xi Wen's nickname in the band.Once he took his friends home to play, but the housekeeper at home didn't change his words, the young master was long and the young master was short, and a bunch of friends made fun of him and laughed and called him that.In addition, Xi Wen is the youngest in the band, the wealthiest, the most expensive, and has the most problems. If you don’t eat this, you don’t want it. If you are unhappy, you will put on a bad face. The ping-pong-pong noise made everyone uncomfortable, and they turned on the lights to write songs when they couldn't sleep at night.

People in the team can't stand this young master's temper, and sometimes they use this nickname to run on him, and when he sees that he is about to get angry, he pinches his throat and says, which slave is so disobedient, why don't you hurry up and apologize to the young master, be careful The young master rewards you with fried pork with bamboo shoots.When they made a fuss, Xi Wen felt embarrassed and angry.

This meal is mainly a reception banquet, Liu Ran is very caring, knowing that he just came back, he doesn't want to meet too many people, and the friends who are very close to him during college and band formation, less than ten people, eat in Liu Ran's old house For one meal, I ate hot pot, all of which were ready-made dishes, and I had enough food and clothing by myself.Familiar places, familiar people, hot pot together, as if the old days are back.

Xi Wen greeted everyone, sat down, and looked around, "Where's Kuang Yao?"

"He said he couldn't come because he had something to do, and he was throwing a temper tantrum, so ignore him." Liu Ran waved his hand and greeted him to eat.

A bunch of people persuaded him to drink, and Liu Ran smoothed things over for him, saying that Xi Wen just came back, he was still jet-lagged, and had a terrible headache, so he did the drinking for him, and everyone didn't force it.You can't persuade them to drink lively, you don't know what to say, after all, you haven't seen each other for eight years, each of you has a different situation, even if you were close before, there will inevitably be some estrangement, in order not to be cold, I can only talk about the old things.

For some reason, Shen Qingye was involved again.Maybe it's because he is in the limelight, no matter what he says, others have something to talk to.

Someone said, "I didn't expect him to be gay. Why didn't I see it before? It looks normal. Didn't he have an affair with Lan Yu?"

"What, I heard that the wind is the rain, and the fact that he and Wu Lanyu disappeared was all blown out by you."

The person at the same table touched Liu Ran's glass with wine, "This is your fault, why didn't you call Shen Dayingdi? He used to have such a good relationship with Xi Wen, and Xi Wen took him everywhere. Now Xi Wen finally came back, no matter how busy he is, there is always time for a meal."

"What do you call it? Go drink your wine, so much wine can't stop your mouth." Liu Ran frowned unhappily, and looked sideways at Xi Wen's face, seeing that his face was extremely dull, I can't see if I'm angry.

The man still didn't give up, "To be honest, I still have his phone number, but I haven't dared to call. Xi Wen said something to you, if you want to say hello, I'll call now, I don't believe he won't sell you face."

Someone chimed in.

All eyes were on Xi Wen at once.

Xi Wen rested his elbows on the table, lowered his eyelids, and shook his head, "He doesn't like this kind of occasion, and he won't come if you call him. It's better not to call him."

The other person drank a lot, didn't feel the weird atmosphere, he laughed and said, "Is he so hard to hire? You were the one who promoted him at the beginning, how could he have achieved what he is now without you? The economic contract is still there." Du Xia's subordinates. You don't need him to repay your favor now, why don't you come out to have a meal, what is it?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of him, but I'm mainly afraid of myself." Xi Wen raised his head and glanced at the man, feeling a bit addicted to cigarettes, he couldn't help licking his lips, his throat was dry and itchy, "He's so good, I'm afraid to see him, I couldn't control it and entangled him again."

Everyone in the house was taken aback.

Xi Wen sat up straight, raised his eyelids and glanced around, twitched the corners of his mouth, and added with a half-smile, "I have no fame or capital now, what if he thinks I'm attached to him and ask him for resources?" What to do? Life is too different, fate can’t be forced, the past is the past.” He waved his hand, indicating that this topic is over.

Seeing that he was behaving normally, Liu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly dragged another person to toast in circles to revive the atmosphere.

Xi Wen hid in the toilet and washed his face.

The water was rushing, and the toilet in the old house was very cramped. There was still yellow dirt on the washstand that could not be wiped clean, and a corner of the mirror attached to the wall was broken.Xi Wen looked at himself in the mirror, with wet hair sticking to his forehead, water droplets rolled over his tall nose bridge, his already cold white skin was bloodless and extremely pale.

I remember the first time he came to Liu Ran's old house, he thought it was a dilapidated house, and it would have to be demolished in two years. They had dinner and beer together, and he would rather explode his bladder than go to the toilet here.It turned out that almost ten years later, the place is still standing.

People like Xi Wen lived a good life since childhood, with their feet on the sky and not on the ground, and they have no concept of suffering in the world.Feng Yaohui's group was like a thunderbolt, and Feng Yaohui gave birth to two daughters. His mother, Feng Qing, was the eldest daughter, and his father, Xi Yun, was considered a married man. He was born in a poor family and reached the sky in one step. With a single marriage, he made a comeback in his life.Xi Wen, as the only male in the Feng family, was pampered lawlessly even though he was a grandson.

His life has been smooth and smooth, and there is nothing he can't get.He is good-looking and smart. He can remember everything the teacher said since he was a child. Not only can he remember, but he can also draw inferences. Later, he basically stopped attending classes and relied on reading books by himself. He finished the textbooks for one semester in two months. .He skipped grades from elementary school, and he was under 16 when he went to college.

Feng Yaohui liked him very much, and said to everyone he met that he was smart and would be able to take over from him in the future.As a result, he stopped studying after a year of majoring in finance, and went to play a band with a few people in the same dormitory, saying that he found that he liked music, and the things taught in college were boring, and he came and went like the third child.The old man was so angry that there was nothing he could do about it.

Playing in a band is also good. He can write songs and play the guitar. First, he sang in bars and ran commercial performances everywhere, exhausting himself like a monkey, and enjoying it.The old man couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Du Xia to help them. Du Xia signed them to his company, made their official debut, released a single and an album, won several music awards, and later developed into a concert. A large group of fans screamed wildly for them.

Xi Wen easily obtained all the things that others could only wish for and fight for.

Everything is fulfilled, but emptiness.

As the old saying goes, life swings between pain and boredom.If you don't get pain, if you get it, you will be bored, and there is no way out.

Xi Wen is a bitch, he only likes to be on the road of pain, one way to the dark, he finds it challenging, so he wants to make music, music is a thing, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and it is always a competition between yourself and yourself.

What's more, he met Shen Qingye.

Shen Qingye was the one who specially treated him, which caused him to fall into a big stumble, and he didn't get up for eight years.

When Xi Wen got to know Shen Qingye seriously for the first time, Shen Qingye came to Du Xia's company to sign the contract.

Shen Qingye had just won a prize in a foreign piano competition. He returned to China after a few tours, and was thrown a lot of praise by the media, such as the birth of a genius boy, the piano prince, the piano boy, etc., several records The company took aim at him, and was finally taken down by Du Xia.

He walked in behind his father, looking like a tall, thin boy, fair and elegant, wearing a cheap T-shirt and jeans, the corners of the trousers were worn a little white, wiping his hands in his trouser pockets.During the whole process, he seldom spoke or laughed. Most of the time it was his father Shen Zhexuan who was talking to Du Xia. He was only responsible for signing. He nodded when he was asked. He was indifferent and alienated. He seemed to be wearing a glass cover. , separated him from the real world.

Xi Wen leaned against the door frame and looked at it for a long time, feeling that the child looked like a white ceramic statue that was broken and glued together again.

Shen Qingye's gaze briefly touched him, and then moved away without any contact.Shen Qingye has a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, slender eyes, deep folded eyelids, covered under slightly broken bangs, when he looked over lightly, there seemed to be a hook in his eyes, making people's heart itch.

Du Xia came back after sending Shen Qingye and the others away, Xi Wen hadn't recovered yet, Du Xia took the contract and patted the back of his head, "What are you looking at? Take your thoughts away, everyone has gone away."

Xi Wen followed him in, sat down on the rocking chair, put his feet on the table, squinted his body, narrowed his eyes, "Uncle Xia, please give me this person, there is a piano melody in my song, I want to Let him try."

Du Xia was amused by him, "Do you know who he is?"

Xi Wen tilted his head, "Who is so powerful? I can't even use it?"

Du Xia drew a newspaper for him and threw it over, "He is the winner of an international competition, do you know what the price is for him to play a song now?"

Xi Wen quickly glanced twice, and roughly scanned the praiseworthy words on it. When he didn't see the real person, he thought it was too exaggerated. Only when he saw it did he feel that it was worthy of the name, and the words in the newspaper were just poor.Hearing that Du Xia raised money, he didn't care anymore, "What's wrong with the championship, how expensive can it be? Money, the most important thing I need is money."

Seeing that he wasn't joking, Du Xia suddenly restrained his smile, and said seriously, "I don't care how you play outside, but this is someone from the company, so don't try to blame him. This kid has learned piano for ten years. It’s only been a few years, and it’s not easy in the cold and the summer. He is talented and willing to work hard. He is not a person in this circle at all. He has a simple mind, so don’t hurt others.”

Xi Wen clicked his tongue, "Innocence is quite simple. Once the contract is signed, it lasts ten years. He agreed to your overlord clauses without any comments. I guess he still worships you like a god in his heart."

Du Xia pretended to be angry, "You're taking me for a week. I didn't hurt him, so why did he treat him badly? The signing time is long, and the company is going to focus on training him."

"Yes, yes, oh, why are you still talking about these scenes in front of me." Xi Wen retracted his legs, stood up from the chair, and stretched his muscles, "Don't worry, uncle, I have heard him play the piano, and I really appreciate his talents , I have no other thoughts, and I will never make trouble for you. Xiao Yi found several versions of piano music for me, but I was not satisfied, so I wanted to let him try it."

Du Xia was dubious.

Xi Wen frowned and smiled, "Well, you can ask for me. If he disagrees, I will never force it. The choice is his."

Du Xia hesitated for a while, but let go of Xi Wen, "Okay, then I'll mention it to him and see what he thinks."

Xi Wen smiled proudly, like a cat stealing fish, and was very confident in himself. "Then I'll send you the score later, you can show him, I don't believe he won't like it."

Du Xia nodded a little favorably and helplessly.

It is a lie to say that you are not in the mood, and it is not necessarily true to say that you have a lot of heart.There is no shortage of young, beautiful and talented kids like this in the entertainment industry. Xi Wen is rich, powerful, talented, and good-looking. Even if he doesn't get paid for sleeping with him, he won't suffer. He is always posted The men and women here are all beautiful and smooth, each with their own characteristics, and they are already tired of aesthetics.

Although Xi Wen's heart fluttered for a moment, he forgot all about it after going back to sleep.As a result, when Shen Qingye came to look for him later, he was staying up late writing songs, relying solely on coffee and smoking to refresh himself. He hadn't slept for two days, and his temper was extremely bad. He thought he was introduced by Hou Sheng, and he didn't even see him, so he sent him away. up.

Hou Sheng, the number one pimp in their circle, opened a modeling agency on the surface, but in fact, he was engaged in thieves and prostitutes.Born with sharp mouthed monkey cheeks and dim eyes, his body has long been hollowed out by wine, sex and wealth.

Xi Wen had some contact with him because of an MV filming. Hou Sheng knew his family background, and always tried to please him in different ways. Knowing that he likes men, he gave them away to him.The day before Shen Qingye came, he happened to send a message to congratulate Xi Wen for winning the best composition award, and gave him a gift.Xi Wen was impatient, sneered, and directly blocked him, not even thinking about dealing with it.

As a result, Shen Qingye had a misunderstanding when he came with the score, and was humiliated by the people in the studio, and was thrown out mercilessly. Fortunately, at that time, Xi Wen had a thick skin and could do anything shameless , coaxed back and forth, and coaxed people back. For 8 years, whether it was long or short, he became timid now, and the two of them were so unfamiliar that they couldn't even have a meal together.

Xi Wen pulled the corners of his mouth and gave a wry smile, then poured cold water to wash his face before going out from the toilet.

At the end of the meal, Du Xia came late. The thin windbreaker still brought the coolness of the night. He was over forty years old, and he was still well maintained. There were hardly any traces of time on his face, and his figure was tall. , handsome and mature, with a calm charm that has been in a high position for a long time.

Seeing him, Xi Wen immediately stood up and called Uncle Xia respectfully.

Du Xia and Xi Wen's family have been friends for many years, and it can be said that they grew up watching Xi Wen.

The person next to Xi Wen moved a seat, Du Xia sat down, and smiled at him, "Why didn't you tell the family when you came back? If Liu Ran didn't call me, I wouldn't know. I asked Feng Tong, she also said that you are in France."

Xi Wen was taken aback, "Huh? You told my aunt?"

Du Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, "I didn't expect you to sneak back without telling her?"

Xi Wen touched his nose, "No, I just wanted to surprise her."

"That's okay, I didn't say it clearly, I just asked where you are."

Xi Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Thank you uncle."

"Thank me for what, thank me for messing around with you?" Du Xia smiled.

Xi Wen stuck out his tongue and picked up the cup, "Thank you for taking care of me for so many years, come on, I'll replace the wine with tea, and I'll do it first as a respect." He took the cup and drank the oolong tea in it in one gulp.

Du Xia drove here by himself, and he didn't drink alcohol. He drank a cup of tea with him, "Feng Tong said that you quit drinking, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Xi Wen put down his glass, "I can't control myself after drinking, I don't like the feeling of losing control."

He had almost eaten, leaning back in the chair, although he didn't drink alcohol, he was a little drunk, he watched the people at the table bustling and noisy, and took out a piece of chewing gum from his arms and threw it into his mouth to chew .

Du Xia glanced at him, "Have you quit smoking too?"

Xi Wen was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to be so perceptive, and hesitantly hummed, "I might as well give up all the addictive habits in the past, otherwise the dependence will be transferred."

"I haven't seen you in the past few years, I've grown up a lot." Du Xia touched his head and said with emotion.

He asked again, "Since you don't want to go home yet, where will you live during this time?"

Xi Wen thought for a while, "Liu Ran told me to live with him before, but I think it's inconvenient for me to squeeze in his young couple. I plan to live there for two days and then go online to find a house to move out."

"Then live with me. I still have several houses under my name, and they are vacant. You can move in first." Du Xia said.

Of course Xi Wen was happy, and he didn't put on an air. He said thank you Uncle with a playful smile, don't worry, I will pay you the rent according to the market price.

Du Xia rubbed his slightly curly hair, and said with a smile, "Can I still ask you for money?"

After the dinner, Du Xia loaded the luggage into the car and took him to the new house.Liu Ran was still quite reluctant, and coyly said that you really don't want to live with me, I have everything ready, and I even bought a disc player, wanting to reminisce about our previous collective life, and now it's all wasted .

Xi Wen said with a smile, "Don't waste it, don't throw it away. If I can't find a job and have no money to pay the rent, my uncle Xia will throw me out, and I have to live with you."

Liu Ran was a little sentimental at first, but was amused by what he said, "Tsk, Mr. Du can drive you away? What's more, Young Master Xi will lose everything, except money."

Xi Wen spread his hands, "It's not necessarily true, I didn't tell my family, if I don't have a job, wouldn't I be poor?"

Du Xia drove the car over and honked the horn to urge him.Xi Wen waved to Liu Ran, said to make an appointment next time, and trotted into Du Xia's car.
