follow the light, fly

Ni Yan stared at the phone in a daze for a long time, then he began to hesitate again, Bai Lin's words were still echoing in his mind, although he couldn't remember why he didn't dare to sing under the attention of everyone, but this relatively small psychological barrier, he can be overcome.

Finally, he replied: "Okay, send me the address, and I'll try it."

Immediately afterwards, he received an address. He thought Wang Yu had edited it long ago, so he waited for him to agree, and then Wang Yu sent another message: "Tonight at 07:30, please take a look at the environment. There is not much money for the opening, and if the business gets better later, I will not treat you badly.

Seeing what he said, Ni Yan was a little embarrassed. He remembered that he and Wang Yu often messed around together when he was in college.Wang Yu doesn't like studying either. Whenever everyone is reading and writing articles in the library self-study room, he and Wang Yu play piano, guitar, and drums in the school's piano room, roaring loudly.They have always been thankful that the sound insulation in the piano room is so good, otherwise they would have been ordered to drop out of school.During that time, if Wang Yu hadn't distracted him, his life might have been worse.

Ni Yan thought for a while, and replied: "You still say this, what is the relationship between us brothers, although you don't have much contact now, but you can still think of me if you have something to do. As for the money, you can give it as you see, it doesn't matter how much it is."

Wang Yu: "See you tonight."

Ni Yan sent an ok emoticon package, then returned to the interface of Xiaoxiaole, and played until the end of get out of class, and he passed a few levels smoothly.Looking at 1548 in front of him, Ni Yan felt extremely relieved, as expected without Lu Mingsu by his side, his mind was still clear.

After returning from the cafeteria, Ni Yan lay on the table with earphones on and closed his eyes. The first exam was about to take place in the afternoon. Although everyone said there was no need to worry, his naturally fearful nature still made him a little worried.

Suddenly, noticing the slight shaking of the headphone cable on his chest, Ni Yan sat up abruptly, and saw Lu Mingsu who was dazed beside him with a horrified expression. Lu Mingsu was still holding one of his headphones in his hand.

Ni Yan saw that Lu Mingsu's mouth was moving slightly, but he couldn't hear what he was saying. Just as he was about to take off the earphone on his right ear and ask what Lu Mingsu said, he saw Lu Mingsu put the earphone on his left ear to his own ear. Rise to

"Hey...you won't like it—" Ni Yan stretched out his hand to stop him, but he was a step too late, seeing Lu Mingsu listening to the song in the earphone, the expression on his face became more and more puzzled.

"Who sang this? The voice is very strange." Lu Mingsu frowned, desperately searching which singer this voice belonged to.

"What did you say?" Ni Yan pulled off the earphones.

"I said who sang it, I can't tell." Lu Mingsu gave up searching and asked Ni Yan softly.

"It's not famous, you haven't heard of it." Ni Yan quietly turned off the music on the phone, pulled off the earphones from Lu Mingsu's ears, and stuffed them into his pocket.

Lu Mingsu was still struggling with the voice just now: "No, I seem to have heard this voice before, but it doesn't seem to be the right singer."

"Don't think about it," Ni Yan was a little embarrassed, and wanted to change the topic, "Why are you here? I haven't seen anyone all morning."

Lu Mingsu smiled instantly, "You miss me?"

Ni Yan rolled his eyes at him, and said coldly: "I miss you!"

Lu Mingsu was taken aback for a moment: "My dad is the only son, and I don't have a grandpa, so you just make do with it, think about me!"

Ni Yan sighed: "Are you okay? Get out!" Then he yelled at Qian Teng by the door, "Squad leader, someone from another class sneaked in, don't you care?"

"Hey hey..." Lu Mingsu turned around and waved his hand at Qian Teng, then turned and blocked his face from Ni Yan's eyes, "I have something to do, do you want to go to the movies tonight? Let me celebrate!"

Ni Yan continued to lie down on the table, closed his eyes and meditated, and said in a low voice, "What are you celebrating? It's not your birthday."

Lu Mingsu grinned suddenly: "Do you still know when my birthday is?!"

Ni Yan: "I don't know, you still have a birthday, I thought even local tyrants don't have birthdays."

Lu Mingsu: "Then let me tell you, my life—"

Ni Yan: "I don't want to know."

Lu Mingsu's face collapsed in an instant. Although Zhu Yigan didn't hear what they were saying clearly, he also saw the obvious aggrieved expression on Lu Mingsu's face. He patted Ni Yan on the back and said, "Xueba, although It is a good thing to have a sense of collective honor, but we also need to have spring-like warmth for other students in the class. You can see Mr. Lu's expression of accidentally eating shit while eating, so pitiful, I feel distressed when I see it."

Ni Yan couldn't help laughing, turned his head and said to Zhu Yigan: "Gan Gan, your metaphor is very vivid and realistic, I like it very much. How about I take Mr. Lu back to you and it will hurt for two days ?”

Zhu Yigan hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, I can't afford to be hurt. I am a young unemployed man. What can I do to hurt others? It's just feeding shit. I have to eat myself first, right?!"

Ni Yan turned around and lay down on the table, laughing non-stop, but Lu Mingsu looked terrified, and asked Ni Yan softly: "Is your class... all in this style?"

Ni Yan smiled and said, "Actually, I am too. Are you afraid?"

Lu Mingsu: "Then I can only accept it slowly..."

Ni Yan: "You haven't said, what are you going to celebrate?"

Lu Mingsu suddenly remembered: "Oh, by the way, I finally got a picture of my land, and I can finally stop for a while, you don't even know, I've been giving this fuck to me for a month... I understand what it means to work hard. .”

Ni Yan suddenly looked at him pretending to be serious: "Who is the heart?"

"Ah?" Lu Mingsu was stunned for a moment, then he reacted instantly, and poked Ni Yan's waist with his finger, almost knocking Ni Yan off the chair, "What are you thinking all day long? , Pay attention to your identity, Xueba!"

"Where did you learn this trick?!" Ni Yan twisted his waist, and the itching all over his body still hasn't gone away.

"The 15 years you lost!" Lu Mingsu smiled triumphantly, "If I don't catch the weak point, how can I beat you who is evil and poisonous?!"

"Congratulations, but I'm not free tonight, let's try another day." Ni Yan said, giving him another professional smile.

Lu Mingsu was taken aback: "Why are you going tonight? Looking for Teacher Bai?"

Ni Yan: "No, go to the interview."

Lu Mingsu's eyes suddenly changed: "How can there be an interview at night? Where to interview, I will send you."

Ni Yan rolled his eyes: "Squad Leader Lu, you've got pimples for meddling too much." He raised his hand to look at his watch, and said, "It's getting late, hurry up and go back to the exam!"

Lu Mingsu took a look at Ni Yan's watch, and said coquettishly, "You're not a watch, it's obviously an offensive weapon, it cut my hand off that day."

Ni Yan suddenly grabbed Lu Mingsu's hand, and checked carefully: "Where did it go? Are you okay? Did you take the medicine? When will I row you?"

Lu Mingsu grinned, pressed Ni Yan's hand under the table, squeezed it lightly, and said with a smile: "What kind of medicine do you take? You are my medicine. Don't you remember? That day at the beach, you beat me when……"

Ni Yan pulled his hand out fiercely, stuffed it into his pocket, looked around guiltyly, and found that no one noticed them, so he said softly: "You deserve it, you should put it before liberation, and you will be punished for playing hooligans." Soaked in a pig cage."

"That day...was I the only one playing hooligans?" Lu Mingsu laughed.

"Get out!" Ni Yan growled, his face suddenly turned red, and he turned his head away from looking at him.

Lu Mingsu wanted to say something more, when suddenly he saw the teacher walking in, the teacher glanced at Lu Mingsu, said with a smile: "We are not students in this class who are taking the exam in this class, so hurry up and go back to your own class for the exam." Lu Mingsu heard the words He jumped up suddenly and ran out, muttering while running: "Fuck, I almost forgot about this."

Ni Yan glanced at Lu Mingsu's back, and couldn't help lowering his head and laughing. His heart didn't come back until he got the test paper.This class was about the economics subject in the morning. Ni Yan looked at the topic and found that it was not difficult. You can find it in books, so it seems that you don’t need to rely on the masses.

He opened the book and wrote one question after another. Open-book exams are always his favorite. Even if he can't find the answer, there is always content that can be used as a reference. He can at least fill in the blanks by making things up. Full.For the open-book exam, Ni Yan has a lot of experience and experience, so he found the answer very quickly. When writing the fifth question, Ni Yan glanced around and found that the classmate had only written the second question.

Ni Yan was the first one to finish the test and hand in the test paper. When he walked out of the classroom, he also received a WeChat message from Qian Teng: "Where is the eighth question?"

Ni Yan: "The third paragraph on page 247."

Qian Teng: "Thank you."

Just as Ni Yan was about to put the phone back in his pocket, he suddenly received another WeChat message. When he opened it, it was Lu Mingsu...

Susu: "Student master, urgent help!" Afterwards, a photo was attached, and Ni Yan took a look at...the English test paper.

Ni Yan sighed deeply, turned around and found an empty classroom, took out a pen and paper, and started working on each problem.Their English test questions were not difficult, and he didn't know why Lu Mingsu thought of asking him to do it. Could it be that the mass system in their class was paralyzed.But he didn't have time to think so much, there was still more than an hour left, Lu Mingsu's test paper still had four reading comprehension pieces and one essay empty, he still had time...

Ni Yan first finished writing the composition and sent it to Lu Mingsu, so that Lu Mingsu could copy it on the test paper first, and then start reading comprehension.Finally, in the last half an hour, he took pictures of the answers and sent them over. After that, he packed his things, got up and left the classroom.

As soon as he left the gate of the School of Management, he met Qian Teng driving by.

"Hey, Xueba, why are you leaving now?" Qian Teng lowered the car window and asked with his head out.

"Oh, I was delayed by something just now." Ni Yan smiled.

"Where are you going? I'll take you off." Qian Teng waved his hand. He didn't see Ni Yan's name when he registered the license plate, so he knew he wasn't driving.

"No need," Ni Yan said with a smile, "I came here by bicycle."

Watching Qian Teng's car go away, Ni Yan walked to the side of the motorcycle, stepped up, took out his mobile phone and started to check the route.He has never been to Wang Yu's bar, and he is not familiar with the area, so he can only use the navigation.Just after copying the address and clicking on the navigation, Ni Yan was about to put on the earphones when he suddenly heard an exclamation from around him, so scared that he almost threw the phone away.Ni Yan raised his head sharply, followed the voice and looked over, his face turned red in an instant, and there were several female students in the class standing beside him, looking at him excitedly.

Ni Yan managed to force a smile. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he quickly put on the helmet, stepped out as soon as he gasped, and put on the earphones. No matter how loud the exclamation behind him was, he couldn't hear it.

A little after seven o'clock, Ni Yan arrived at Wang Yu's bar. He parked the car and looked up at the door—"listen to the complaint".He walked in and found that the business was pretty good. A waitress came up to him and asked him if he had any reservations.

"I'm looking for your boss, please call me and tell me that Ni Yan is here." Ni Yan found a corner seat and sat down, watching the waiter leave.

A few minutes later, Wang Yu came over. After graduation, they hadn't seen each other, and only chatted occasionally on WeChat.Ni Yan knew that he had gone abroad, and he probably just came back not long ago.

"Huo'er!" Wang Yu sat down opposite Ni Yan, smiling happily. When he was in school, he called Ni Yan "Huo'er" and said he was kind, "How are you doing?"

Ni Yan smiled, and suddenly seemed to have returned to the lawless time in college: "It's okay, when did you return to China, why did you come to Yunshan?"

"My mother is from Yunshan, so our family moved here to take care of my grandma." Wang Yu turned to order a waiter to serve two bottles of beer, but was stopped by Ni Yan.

"I ride a bike, so I can't drink." Ni Yan said.

Wang Yu smiled and said, "What's the deal with drinking a bottle of beer while cycling?"

Ni Yan: "Motorcycles are also caught for drunk driving."

Wang Yu smiled awkwardly: "I thought you were riding a little electric donkey."

Ni Yan smiled and said, "You can't drink eDonkey, and there are 40 eMule... When did you open this bar?"

Wang Yu: "It's been two or three months. The business is still going well. Anyway, I'm not losing money. I'm not thinking about someone singing in the corner. I think the business can get better. Look at those bars in Lijiang, I like them very much."

Ni Yan: "Then you can sing by yourself, why spend money to find someone?"

Wang Yu smiled: "I'm the boss, I've got a lot of work to do. Could it be that I ran down to deliver wine to the guests in the middle of singing?!" As he spoke, Wang Yu took out something from his pocket and placed it in front of Ni Yan. "Knowing your habits, everything is prepared for you, exactly the same as before."

Ni Yan stared at the mask on the table in a daze for a while under the dim light, and then smiled in relief.He pulled the mask over his eyes and fastened the straps at the back of his head, just covering his eyes and nose.

"Does it look good?" Ni Yan shook his head and was very satisfied when he found that it was not easy to loosen.

Wang Yu looked at him with a smile: "The most beautiful place is covered up for you, how good is it?!"

"It looks good when it's covered up, it's called hazy beauty!" Ni Yan laughed.

"Do you think you pay by the day or by the month, how many times a week?" Wang Yu suddenly became serious.

Ni Yan didn't take off the mask, but still wore the dangling headgear, like a child who just got a new toy: "Whatever, how many times a week do you want me to come?"

"Me?" Wang Yu smiled, "Of course I want you to come every day."

Ni Yan: "Let me sing for a few days to see the situation. You can count the money yourself. You can pay it every day and every month. We have been together for ten years. I believe you!"

Wang Yu looked at his watch: "Then today..."

Ni Yan stretched out his head and glanced into the distance: "Do you have all the equipment?"

"Well, the audio equipment is all set up." Wang Yu pointed to a small corner.

Ni Yan also looked at his watch, then raised his head and said with a smile: "It starts at eight o'clock... I'll see if I can still sing, and let me say yes first, if you drive away all your guests, you can't hit me, At most, I don't want your money..."

Wang Yu smiled, patted Ni Yan's arm lightly, pulled him up and walked around the bar.

Ni Yan looked around and found that most of them were men: "The environment is not bad, did you design it yourself?"

Wang Yu smiled: "Well, isn't it very our style?"

Ni Yan thought of the two of them yelling like mad cow disease in the piano room before, and suddenly laughed: "You mean... the mad cow style?"

Wang Yu also laughed: "Can't you remember something good?!"

Ni Yan walked to the singing corner and said softly, "I can only sing for two hours a day, I'm used to going to bed early."

Wang Yu was taken aback: "Go to bed early? It's not your style. Didn't you always wait for dawn all night before?"

Ni Yan let out a long sigh, and patted Wang Yu's shoulder: "I'm getting older, do you still think I'm a young man of seventeen or eighteen?! Now there's no need to soak goji berries in a thermos."

Wang Yu couldn't help laughing: "Then you should sing early, and go home after singing for two hours."

Ni Yan only sang for more than an hour on the first night. Wearing a mask, he felt very relaxed, and he didn't have the tension of singing in the classroom before. He suddenly wanted to report the good news to Bai Lin, and give Bai Lin the news when he got home. After making a phone call, Bai Lin heard surprise in his voice.

"Which bar are you singing in? I'll join you another day." Bai Lin said lightly.

"The name is... listening to complaints, Wang Yu opened it." Ni Yan recalled.

"Wang Yu? The Wang Yu from before your class?" Bai Lin's tone suddenly changed.

"Yes, he found me today, and I tried it for an hour." Ni Yan smiled, looking very happy.

Bai Lin was silent for a while, and then said again: "It's too late and the road is not safe, you remember to go early and return early every night."

"I see, you are always like my mother." Ni Yan smiled, chatted a few more words, hung up the phone and went to sleep.

But Bai Lin leaned on the chair in the study and was stunned. He recalled the days when he first went to Jiangling A University to work as a counselor.At that time, he met Wang Yu through Ni Yan, and Wang Yu chased him for a long time afterwards, and he didn't break up with Wang Yu until he went abroad.It's just that the two of them have kept Ni Yan from knowing about their relationship. Maybe until now...Ni Yan doesn't know about it.

He had some bad premonitions, he didn't want Ni Yan to fall into this circle, after thinking about it, he dialed a phone number...

"Young Master Yan, are you still playing?" Bai Lin heard a commotion on the phone.

"Teacher Bai, why do you think of me today?" A young man's voice came on the phone.

"I want to ask you something. In our circle, do you know of a bar called... Listening to complaints?" Bai Lin asked.

"I know, I know!" the man laughed, "It's only been open for a while. The boss is very nice and the environment is very good. I've been there a few times."

Bai Lin's heart sank, and he guessed it right: "Is there... chaos?"

"It's not messy, it's quite clean," the man said, "It's a place where you can go to a small and fresh place, not suitable for people like us who like to be lively."

"Okay, I got it," Bai Lin said with a sullen face, "Thanks, you're having fun, I'll hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Lin hesitated, he didn't know what purpose Wang Yu had in calling Ni Yan, maybe he just wanted to ask Ni Yan to sing, maybe... had other thoughts.Then should he tell Ni Yan what happened in the past, should he tell Ni Yan that the hearing... is not an ordinary bar.After thinking about it, he wondered if he was too nervous, so he made a decision - tomorrow...to go there in person.
