Sui Qingchi took three days off and did not go to school. Fu Cuo was worried that this incident would hit him too hard. On the one hand, he was afraid that he would not perform well in the senior high school entrance examination, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would do something irreparable. For two days, Sui Qingchi didn't reply.
When he sighed for the nth time on the phone, AK threw the drum stick aside and said, "If you're so worried, just call and ask."
Fu Cuo looked up at AK, not knowing what to say, AK didn't know what happened, probably thought he was just worried about Sui Qingchi not coming to school. It's been two days since the incident happened, and until now he didn't have the courage to call Sui Qingchi, so he finally had to say: "I haven't responded to WeChat, so what can I do if I call?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang. He looked down and saw Sui Qingchi's number, and was stunned.
AK came over to take a look: "What's the matter? He even called you on his own initiative, you pick it up!"
Fu Cuo was staring at the phone, but AK couldn't see it, so he swiped over it for him.
Sui Qingchi's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello? Fu wrong?"
Only then did he pick up his cell phone and pretended to answer calmly.
"Are you looking for me?" Sui Qingchi asked.
Sui Qingchi's tone sounded very ordinary, so Fu Cuo stopped thinking about it and asked, "Are you okay? The high school entrance examination is coming soon."
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Fu Cuo frowned, the tone was too relaxed, but it made him uneasy, he pricked up his ears, heard short metallic sounds over there, and asked vigilantly, "Where are you?"
The metallic sound stopped, and Sui Qingchi said, "Oh, I'm going downstairs to buy medicine, and I'm on my way back."
"you are sick?"
"Well," Sui Qingchi's voice sounded a little nasal, "It was raining that day, and I had a fever, so I rested at home for two days, and I'm much better today."
Speaking of what happened that day, Fu Cuo didn't know what else to say: "Okay, then you have a good rest."
"Well," Sui Qingchi said, "it's dead."
The hanging was unusually crisp, and Fu Cuo looked at the screen of the phone, not knowing whether he was relieved or even more worried.
Sui Qingchi hung up the call, looked at the pocket knife in his hand, flicked his wrist lightly, and the blade stabbed out, the pale street lights hit it, even the reflection was sharp. He packed his phone and walked across the narrow bridge deck. There was a row of steps leading to the bottom of the bridge. There was a lot of broken empty dams under the bridge, but it was not empty at the moment, and seven or eight figures scattered. Suddenly, three boys in the middle fell to the ground, curled up and moaned in pain.
Sui Qingchi was wearing a gray pullover, with a backpack on his right shoulder, standing on the steps with his neck tilted, like an unrelated passerby watching the excitement. The figures scattered below are seven junior high school students, all from No. 12 Middle School, wearing hats and black masks. None of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and they can do anything for money, because they are under fourteen years old, and they have no fear of doing anything.
The three of them clutched their bleeding wounds, moaning and cursing constantly: "Sui Qingchi, you bastard whore! Come down and fight with me!"
These guys probably forgot what happened in the gymnasium, Sui Qingchi looked down indifferently, and said to himself, I'm not afraid of it, miscellaneous, but why do you want to do it when you can settle it with money
"We know it's you, Sui Qingchi! We will call the police!"
"Call the police?" Sui Qingchi put his hands in his pockets, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Please, none of them are fourteen years old, have you heard of the Juvenile Offenders Protection Act?" He loosened the backpack on his right shoulder and threw it away For a few desperate junior high school students, he squatted down on the steps, looked at the three people, and said, "As for me, the mastermind behind the scenes, although I am the son of a bitch, I am a very rich bitch. The lunatic genes are all inherited from her, when I show her the screenshot calling me a son of a bitch, do you think she will make it easier for you?"
The three of them looked at the young man squatting on the steps and shuddered. The streetlights on the bridge made his handsome face evil and gloomy, as if he was possessed by that black cat.
Sui Qingchi stood up, and said to the junior high school students below: "Gag their mouths, play slowly, don't play to death, I will let you go."
The junior high school students walked towards the three of them, clapping white bills in their hands.
Sui Qingchi walked up the steps step by step, and the violent sound from behind made him take every step very comfortably and steadily. For the first time in his life, he experienced the pleasure of having money that can make ghosts go round. He also wants to mess with his rich father when he is notorious. He thinks that he will become very, very rich in the future, richer than his mother who is a mistress, so that he no longer has to look at anyone Wink, he no longer needs to be manipulated by anyone, he wants to live freely and powerfully in this world.
A few days before the senior high school entrance examination, Xifeng suspended the performance, and Tan Si posted a leave note at the bar, which said in bold font: Because the lead singer is taking the high school entrance examination, the performance is suspended this week. The guests who come in and out are all laughing to death.
On the last day of the senior high school entrance examination, many parents were guarding outside the examination center. After the last subject examination, the students filed out of the teaching building. Fu Cuo found Sui Qingchi among the bustling crowd. That day Sui Qingchi was wearing a suit with a Teddy bear's white long-sleeved T-shirt, rolled up the sleeves, and came out with a backpack on his back. He didn't even glance at the crowd of parents. When the parents of candidates came up to pick up their children, they stood in front of him. Sui Qingchi just Familiarly walking around sideways, Fu Cuo felt very uncomfortable seeing Sui Qingchi walking away like this.
"Master! Master!!"
AK let out a very untimely howl. This title is too awesome. For a while, countless people at the school gate looked here. Fu Cuo saw Sui Qingchi froze for a moment and looked at the source of the sound. He quickly waved at him. wave.
Among the figures coming and going in front of the school gate, the boy in the white T-shirt paused for a moment, as if the camera was slowed down and frozen in the torrent of time.
Congratulations on your graduation, Fu Cuo thought, you are becoming mature and independent day by day, your future must be better than your present.
In Sui Qingchi's first performance after returning to the team, they brought a new song "Castle". The lyrics were written by Sui Qingchi and sent to all members via mobile phone one night. The moment Fu Cuo saw the lyrics, I can't help the eye sockets getting hot.
I saw you in a rainy night
Like a shining diamond
I was caught by your eyes
In summer I followed your every single step
Escaping from the crowd
See where you'd bring me about
Not a deep valley or a mountain high
It's a castle hidden inside
With flowers and dazzling light
When shadows swallowed me up and made me blind
When I couldn't find the way
For me you lit up the light
Not a single word you spoke to me
On my shoulder you marked me
Now I'm yours for always
I gave my hand and you gave your paw
From Easter Day to Valentine
We'll never be apart
This castle of you and me
I hope will be evergreen
I'll find you someday somewhere
Cause I follow your everywhere
This castle of you and me
I hope will be evergreen
When I'm old and tired
For me you'll light up the light
When Sui Qingchi sang this song on the stage, Fu Cuo stood on his left side and saw the flower-armed brother in the first row below the stage raised his hand to cover his tearful eyes. This is a song without any worries, just like a dream in a summer afternoon, but Sui Qingchi used it to write such a song, the fans obviously didn't know what he was singing, only when they heard him sing the word castle , The nose is involuntarily sour.
He sang the last sound of "You'll light up the light" very long and softly, like a drop of light falling into the darkness, so fleeting and long aftertaste, sweat was still hanging on his neck, the slight The trembling is moving under the light. Sui Qingchi really did it, infected everyone with his sadness like a virus, but he didn't shed a single tear. Standing on the stage, he was a terrible source of virus.
Also a very talented singer.
At the beginning of the new semester, the three knew that Sui Qingchi did not apply for other schools, and chose to go directly to the high school of this school.
Fu Cuo was as pleasantly surprised as AK when he heard the news during the day, but in the dead of night, he would still sweat for Sui Qingchi's choice. Even if Sui Qingchi went to No. 1 Middle School, he was not far away, at most an hour's drive away. , he was worried whether Sui Qingchi's fate with Xifeng had diverted his established promising life from the direction.
But that's how it is.
In this way, Sui Qingchi was promoted to the first year of high school, and Fu Cuo and Tan Si AK were promoted to the third year of high school. The four of them were still in the same high school, and Xifeng's lead singer, guitarist, bass player, and drummer were still together.
During the summer vacation before entering school, Tan Si did some calculations. Every time he went to a performance, he would spend money to rent a car. After a year, it would be better to buy a second-hand car and throw it away after a year. After being approved by Fu Cuo, the captain, Tan Si, who had dreamed of a famous autumn mountain since she was a child, got her driver's license very efficiently. The four of them pooled their performance fees and bought a second-hand car online. When choosing a car, everyone disagreed. After arguing for a long time, no one convinced anyone. Then Sui Qingchi, who had been sitting silently behind them, raised his phone and said abruptly, "I've already paid."
The three turned their heads to look at Sui Qingchi in shock. AK rushed over to snatch the phone, howling: "Ah, I knew he would choose this Volkswagen, this guy is Fu Cuo's licking dog!! This car is so dirty!!"
Sui Qingchi pulled the phone back forcefully: "The logo of Volkswagen is W, and it has a fate with us."
"Heretics!" AK rolled his eyes at him, "Do you believe it yourself?!"
Sui Qingchi looked at the Volkswagen logo on the front of the car. To be honest, he himself felt that the reason was fucking nonsense. He lowered his head and was a little annoyed and ashamed...
When the car arrived, it looked a bit old-fashioned. AK squatted on the ground and held his head: "I'm going to be ugly and cry..." Then he blamed Fu Cuo, "It's all you, why are you trying to get cheap!"
Fu Cuo walked around the car, trying to find something pleasing to the eye, but there really wasn't, except it was cheap...
"I think it's okay," Tan Si patted the roof of the car, "We can paint the color ourselves."
So a few people decided to paint the car by themselves, found some materials on the Internet, and based on the principle of saving money and simplicity, they finally decided to paint the whole car in black and yellow tiger paint.
After a whole day, he was finally done. Tan Si went to the front of the car to look at the messy painted car and boosted his morale: "It's beautiful, come here, don't be sad," he pulled up the unhappy AK, "Get up and let's get up." Let's take a picture together!"
The four of them took a group photo in front of the car, and tried to adjust their positions to cover the flaws in the paintwork. For this reason, AK made a pose with his arms outstretched and one leg flying out, aiming at Tan who was holding a selfie stick. Si complained: "Hurry up, why are you dawdling?!" Tan Si dragged him with a stomach full of mischief: "Hold on, hold on, it's fine now, come on, laugh inside, hey, you don't call it a joke... "
AK couldn't take it anymore: "Sui Qingchi, laugh at me!! What are you pretending to be a middle school boy!!"
Then there was a "click".
This group photo was very ugly, everyone didn't pose properly, Tan Si pressed it with a shake of his hand, he said his hands were shaking, Fu Cuo murmured in his heart and didn't know if it was intentional, so he took another photo later open.
Everyone has the re-taken photo in their mobile phones, but in the end, what Fu Cuo saved in his mobile phone for nearly ten years was this ugly group photo. Wearing a red apron and sleeves, AK, who dressed himself like a kitchen mama, was standing alone like a scarecrow roaring in the wind. In the middle was Tan Si, who had a dirty mask on his left ear, and Da. Drenched in sweat, he was tying a flowery dress around his waist. On the far right was Sui Qingchi, who was wearing a dark blue overalls, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand making a ROCK 'N ROLL. Behind them is their first car, the tiger-painted Volkswagen Polo that can only be seen from a distance.
Since Tan Si passed away, he no longer had the courage to look at this photo. He would think of them at that time, and feel sad when he thought about it.
