Follow the sound and follow the way

The city crosses the early morning and enters the darkest before dawn.

Mu Kang fell asleep in the studio, breathing evenly, unshakable.The ashtray at hand was covered with cigarette butts, lingering, and I couldn't even find a seam where a needle could be inserted.

With manuscripts all over the floor and a short audio track on the screen, it's clear that the artist's work isn't going very well.

The mobile phone was vibrating persistently until it ran out of power and automatically shut down, but it failed to ring him.

The best quality of manager Wang Junfeng is that he never gives up lightly. After tossing around with his mobile phone, he went to the door himself to force Mu Kang out of his sleep.

Mu Kang barely cheered up with a single cigarette, his chin was covered with stubble, his hair sticking out of the chicken coop in a strange shape, squinting his eyes to meet Wang Junfeng's eager expression, his eyes seemed to care, but he didn't seem to put anyone in his place in the eyes.

Wang Junfeng: "This Long March suite..."

Mu Kang: "Not finished."

Wang Junfeng: "Satellite TV has a music program and would like to invite you..."

Mu Kang: "No."

Wang Junfeng frowned: "There is a new TV series about tunnel warfare during the Anti-Japanese War..."

Mu Kang took a puff of cigarette and closed his eyes: "Don't write."

Wang Junfeng earnestly said: "Thanks to people who value it, I want you to write by name. The producers and investors of this drama are very hardworking, and CCTV will broadcast it on a loop for half a year."

Mu Kang: "The Long March suite has not been finished yet, it's too late."

Wang Junfeng took a deep breath, and asked in a good-tempered manner, "How long will it take to write?"

Mu Kang thought for a while and said slowly, "Two weeks."

Wang Junfeng: "It was agreed that the delivery will be made today."

Mu Kang: "No inspiration, too much effort to write."

Wang Junfeng stared at Mu Kang, the man's mature silhouette was charming and handsome, but it always made people feel inaccessible.He and Mu Kang have worked together for more than three years, and he thinks that they are quite close to each other, but from time to time he still feels that he is passionately passionate about himself.

Wang Junfeng said helplessly: "Okay, I will communicate with both parties again."

Mu Kang nodded and handed him a cigarette: "Thank you."

Wang Junfeng knew about Mukang's strange rules here, handing cigarettes basically means seeing off guests.He hesitated to say something, but he still couldn't resist Mu Kang's straight ignorance, turned around and left.

After Mu Kang finished smoking, he forced himself to write a few more sections, not daring to think deeply about what shit he wrote.He endured the nausea and mixed up this pile of shit, the morning light was twilight, and the sky was getting brighter.

At 09:30, Guan Xiaoxiao’s WeChat came:

- Emerald Building at twelve noon.

-Mukang: Good.

Today is Valentine's Day, and Mu Kang and Guan Xiaoxiao naturally have to celebrate it.The girl doesn't eat at night, and the general eating appointments are at noon.

Mu Kang turned off the computer, and didn't care about the scattered music scores. Anyway, to him, those are basically all kinds of "dog excrement", and it would be considered flattering to be on the floor.He put on his coat, locked his studio, and set foot on the vibrant street in the morning against the freezing air and noisy crowd.

Walking past three sycamore trees, there is an omelet stall that Mukang often goes to by the side of the road.

The lady who sells omelets likes Mu Kang very much, and without making a sound, she spontaneously rubs a lot of spicy oil on the sausage and tenderloin, and Mu Kang can't help taking it with a happy smile.

"Xiao Mu, I saw the song you wrote on TV last night." The aunt said happily, "The art show after eight o'clock, who sang it..."

Mu Kang's mood, which had been coaxed by the omelette, suddenly became bad again.He smiled stiffly at his aunt, but he couldn't tell anything. He gave a perfunctory "hmm" casually, gnawed on the omelet, went to pick up the car, and drove home in a very uncomfortable way.

After taking a shower for an hour, shaving, hair, and changing clothes, when Mu Kang went out again at eleven o'clock, he was already looking like an amateur male model.

He familiarly parked the car in a hidden parking space near Chanel, barely enough for experts to squeeze in, and didn't look like a parking space, and got out of the car to buy a Valentine's Day gift for Guan Xiaoxiao.

Most of the clerks in this Chanel branch know Mukang.Mr. Mu comes here every now and then to buy a bag for his girlfriend. Everyone knows that a happy heroine who never sees her head and saves the Milky Way in her previous life is a fan of Chanel.

Since Mukang bought all the common classic models and new models, the clerk had no choice but to display a few limited editions that were the only ones in the city.It took Mu Kang 2 minutes to choose a style that looked slightly pleasing to the eye.From entering the store to paying the bill and leaving, it took less than 10 minutes.

It was 10 minutes before twelve o'clock when we arrived at the Jade Building, so Guan Xiaoxiao booked a seat in the indoor garden.Mu Kang put the packaging bag on the small chair opposite him, ordered a glass of Americano, and waited in a daze.

When Guan Xiaoxiao entered the door, as usual, he attracted a lot of veiled stares.

This girl is so beautiful, her fragrance is sharp and sharp when she walks, and her eyes are not soft or ironed like many beautiful girls, which makes her have a sense of distance that surpasses all living beings.

She has been looking straight at Mu Kang sitting among the flowers since she entered the door, but Mu Kang didn't look at her.

Mu Kang was looking at the flowers and didn't notice until Guan Xiaoxiao approached.

He smiled at her and said, "Happy Valentine's Day."

Guan Xiaoxiao saw the white Chanel paper bag on the seat and didn't smile.

She slowly picked up the paper bag and put it on the ground, as if it weighed a thousand catties.

Then she sat down slowly and said lightly, "Thank you."

Still no smile.

Mu Kang was a little puzzled, everything indicated that his girlfriend was in a bad mood and needed to be comforted.

Didn't you buy a bag? "Bao" to cure all diseases is no longer effective?

Frankly speaking, even if Mu Kang's tricks in dating are analyzed separately, the only one is "buying a bag". The current situation makes him quite embarrassed.

Guan Xiaoxiao didn't expect Mu Kang to say any touching words, she stared at Mu Kang for a long time without taking her eyes off, and Mu Kang's goosebumps all over her body were stared out by her.

Guan Xiaoxiao finally said, "How is the composition of the Long March suite going?"

Mukang: "Not very good."

Guan Xiaoxiao: "Anyway, it's just a pile of shit, so you can write whatever you want."

Mu Kang laughed at himself: "I've been a dog for so many years, my heart is so stuffed that I can't fucking get shit out of it."

Guan Xiaoxiao condescended to laugh out of this nonsense, but the smile lasted less than a second before disappearing as if it had never existed.

Mu Kang was taken aback for a moment, almost looking at her cautiously.

A trace of long and deep sadness flashed across Guan Xiao's beautiful eyes, Mu Kang caught it, and suddenly had some inexplicable premonition in his heart.

Guan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said word by word: "Let's break up."

Mu Kang: "..."

Guan Xiaoxiao: "I have found my second spring, let's not delay each other and torture each other."

Mu Kang felt that the girl seemed to be out of her mind: "I didn't..."

Guan Xiaoxiao interrupted his weak refutation, and asked abruptly: "Do you love me?"

Mu Kang took this magical turn, inexplicably, thinking that Guan Xiaoxiao was just losing his temper, and said quickly: "What else do you want besides the bag? Go and buy it for you immediately."

Guan Xiaoxiao smiled, and calmly asked and answered: "You don't love me."

Mu Kang thought with all his heart: It's over, it's really flooded, how can I coax it.

Faced with Mu Kang's silence, Guan Xiaoxiao, who had already turned the page and was planning to concentrate on welcoming the second spring, suddenly felt exhausted and powerless.

She thought this feeling was dead, but unexpectedly, she lingered secretly in front of Mu Kang.

"You're probably thinking about how to coax me right now." Guan Xiaoxiao said softly, "Great talent Mu, you have written so many romantic stories, which story's true love is maintained by coaxing people and giving gifts?"

It was the first time for Mu Kang to hear such outrageous words from a girl, and he was shocked for a moment, thinking in a daze: Don't rely on coaxing people and sending bags?What else can I rely on?Semen/fluid and dopamine?

He asked tentatively, "Do you think I'm not good enough for you?"

Guan Xiaoxiao endured it again and again, but in the end she couldn't hold it back, she held up her bag to show it off, and asked, "Did you send it?"

Mu Kang didn't remember what it was like to give Guan Xiaoxiao a package that didn't count, but of course he couldn't tell the truth about it. He hardly showed his hesitation, and nodded his head pretendingly.

"Don't pretend, I bought it myself." Guan Xiaoxiao put down the bag and said coldly, "I only like this brand of bag, and you gave me so many Chanel, I neither like nor use it. "

Mu Kang: "..."

Guan Xiaoxiao: "I've been waiting for you to find out... I've been waiting for so long."

Mu Kang was speechless.

"Later I found out that as long as I don't tell you, you will never find out." Guan Xiaoxiao suppressed the bitterness in his heart, "You are such a bastard."

Mu Kang finally felt a little bit of grievance belatedly, and finally felt ashamed in his heart, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. Your heart is as big as a pinprick, and it's all dedicated to music. That's why I fell in love with you back then." Guan Xiaoxiao looked indifferently after a thousand sails, "It's a pity that I don't deserve it , it doesn’t like me either.”

Mu Kang pulled out an ugly smile.

Guan Xiaoxiao understood the indescribable words under his smile, and immediately pointed and said: "Now that amazingly talented heart is lost to everyone, and it's nothing worthwhile to be cowarded into a dog in the fucking reality." I like it."

After she finished speaking, she was satisfied to see Mu Kang's miserable expression, and finally felt that she was proud enough and felt refreshed. The land is all done.

After wiping her mouth and putting on her lipstick, she thought for a while, held Chanel in her hand confidently, stood up and said, "Let's go. This bag should be a parting gift, at least it can sell for money."

Mu Kang savored Guan Xiaoxiao's sharpness and straightforwardness as always, and thought to himself, this really forced the matter to have no room for maneuver.

He couldn't argue with reason, and he didn't want to struggle to the death. Although he was a little sad, it wasn't to the point of tearing his heart out.

So he said seriously: "I'm sorry. I wish you a happy second spring."

This is about the most sincere sentence he said in this relationship.

As for emotion, Mu Kang lived to be in his 30s, but his eyes were still darkened, and he didn't understand anything.

Really unreasonable, in vain for a talented person, deserves to be dumped.
