One autumn rain and one cool, several rains in a row, the cold air swept across, and there were a lot of wet fallen leaves on the streets of Ningcheng, as if it was late autumn overnight.
Shi Rou took out a thermos from her bag, and handed two more medicines to Yu Nian. Seeing Yu Nian coughing twice, she said nervously, "Do you really not need to go to the hospital?"
Yu Nian swallowed the water and medicine in one gulp, tightened the lid of the cup before returning it to Shi Rou, his voice was slightly hoarse, "It's okay, it's not serious, it should be fine in two days." Sluggish, but still smiled, "Aren't I consciously taking medicine?"
Shi Rou was still worried, and said, "The people from the program team came over just now and asked if they should lip-sync in the singing segment arranged later. They know that you are sick, and they are worried that something will go wrong on the scene."
Yu Nian didn't hesitate, and directly refused, "Maybe the nasal voice will be a little bit heavier, but it won't affect the effect of the scene. Once you fake it once, even if you sing it for real in the future, it will be said to be fake."
"I think so too. The audience and fans are not stupid, lip-syncing is easy to spot." Shi Rou tightly clenched her backpack strap, "That... every year."
"Huh?" Yu Nian took the medicine and was flipping through the procedure book, seeing Shi Rou's expression that was not easy to speak, "What's wrong?"
Shi Rou bit her lip and said, "Your family situation has started to be discussed on the Internet again." She struggled, and then she continued in one breath, "When you participated in "Sound of Nature" every year, like Xia Mingxi and Xue Yalin , both parents showed up and went to the scene to cheer them on, but you didn’t.”
Shi Rou hurriedly said again, "Those people who want to blackmail you all day long find that you have nothing to attack, so they try to find your weakness."
"Well, I know, Sister Rourou wants me to have confidence." Yu Nian was not affected by anything, and asked a few more questions, "What do you say on the Internet?"
Seeing that Yu Nian really didn't take it seriously, Shi Rou picked up a few words to answer, "Some say that your mother fell in love with a handsome servant at home when she was young and insisted on marrying her, but your grandparents disagreed every year. After a quarrel, grandpa and grandma left you behind, severed ties with your mother, and drove her out of the house."
Yu Nian knew that Shi Rou should only pick out what he could listen to and tell him, and more, it should be full of malicious speculation.
At this time, the staff came to remind him that he was about to go on stage. Yu Nian closed the book, got up and left the lounge.
This time, Yu Nian participated in a talk show, which was not long, only 30 minutes in total. After singing "Beautiful" at the opening, Yu Nian stood by the sofa and shook hands with the hostess Lin Sha.
Lin Sha has long curly hair, she looks gentle and non-aggressive on the outside, but before coming to this show, Meng Yuanqian reminded her that the show hosted by Lin Sha is very popular, with many fans and high popularity, but the artist’s experience on the show Feel bad. Because Lin Sha's typical hosting style and appearance are completely opposite, she always asks some unpredictable questions. If she is not careful, she will get into the cover, so Yu Nian must be very careful.
After Lin Sha finished her introduction, she asked naturally, "Today is October 19th in the Gregorian calendar. Does Yu Nian know what date it is in the lunar calendar?"
Yu Nian replied, "I know, today is the ninth day of September, Double Ninth Festival."
Lin Sha smiled gently, "Yes, the Double Ninth Festival is our traditional festival, also known as the Respect for the Aged Day. Many people will place their hopes on their parents' health and longevity on this day. How about you in Yu Nian, will you do it too?"
Hearing this question, Yu Nian's smile faded, and he answered after a few seconds, "My father is not in good health recently, and I really hope he can get better."
Lin Sha knew about it on purpose before this. Yu Nian was very taboo about the topic of parents, so she didn't expect that Yu Nian would answer this question without shyness. She was stunned for two seconds before answering, "Yes, my mother was also sick and admitted to the hospital during this time, I understand your feelings very well."
After the recording of the show, Yu Nian returned to the backstage, Shi Rou followed behind Yu Nian, and said in a low voice, "The program team didn't even indicate that there would be such a problem in advance. It's probably for the sake of topicality, and I want to catch you off guard!"
Yu Nian nodded, "It's nothing, Brother Meng has been vaccinated and said that Lin Sha might ask related questions. But it's also just right, I would like to mention that there will be much less speculation on the Internet."
Shi Rou looked at Yu Nian worriedly, "Niannian, do you feel... very tired?"
Knowing what Shi Rou was referring to, Yu Nian smiled, "When I decided to pursue this career, I was already mentally prepared. If I want to get something, such as fame or profit, I will definitely pay accordingly It will be loved and maintained by some people, so it will naturally be reviled and hated by some people."
Shi Rou nodded and was about to say something when Yu Nian's phone rang.
Finding He Xiao's number displayed on the screen, Yu Nian pressed to connect.
"Are you busy?"
Yu Nian replied with a smile, "No, I just finished recording the show, and then I'm fine."
"Well, I want to tell you that the matter of the bamboo slips is already in the works. The people on my side have contacted the seller, and the other party has long wanted to sell for money, so the negotiation went smoothly. At that time, I will buy the things in my name , you come forward to make a deal for me, and the things will be handed over to you directly, then there will be no problem."
Yu Nian knew that the process would definitely not be as smooth as He Xiao said, but he didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Well, I will follow your arrangements."
There was a light laughter from the receiver, and He Xiao said with a smile, "Well, good boy."
Yu Nian lowered his eyes and looked at the faint shadow on the ground, "No, you reminded me to put on more clothes, but I still caught a cold. When I recorded the program and sang on stage, my nose was blocked and I took cold medicine. It's useless, it's so frustrating."
Listening to Yu Nian's soft complaints, He Xiao's voice became more gentle, "Well, it's not that we are misbehaving every year, it's the fault of the cold, and the effect of the medicine is not good." He coughed twice, "Doctor I'm here, I'm hanging up the phone, okay?"
Yu Nian wanted to say, can I come and see you? But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again, and only said softly, "Okay, you have a good rest."
When Yu Nian returned home, Louison happened to send over the detailed transaction time and place on the bamboo slips of the "Book of Credence". Xie You, who was sitting by the side, heard the place name Yu Nian read out, and was lost in thought for a moment, "I know this place."
Yu Nian typed back a "Thank you" and asked curiously, "Have you been there?"
"Well, the Leto Conservatory is not far from here. When I was studying there, I liked to go to the river to feed pigeons and swans on weekends."
Unexpectedly, there was such a layer, Yu Nian shook Xie You's hand, looked into his eyes, and asked briskly with a smile, "Then do you want to come with me?" He thought about his words, "If there is enough time, we Can we go to the river to feed the pigeons and swans together, and then go to Leto to see?"
After asking this question, Yu Nian could clearly notice that Xie You's breathing paused very briefly. It took him an unknown amount of time before he heard Xie You's answer, "Okay."
The next day, Yu Nian arrived at the recording studio early in the morning, and the production of the album had already entered the dubbing stage. Seeing that Meng Yuan had arrived first, Yu Nian greeted, "Good morning, Brother Meng!"
"You're in a good state today?" Yu Nianxian and Meng Yuan also took a break. He got used to it, so he just came to supervise Yu Nian's song recording every day. With a paper cup filled with hot coffee in his hand, Meng Yuan remembered, "That's right. Rourou told me about the recording of the show yesterday, and I looked for the recorded live video, and your answers are all right. do not worry."
He only knew that Yu Nian had met his biological father, and that he had been running to the hospital every day, but he didn't say anything about Yu Nian in detail, and he didn't ask.
"Okay," Yu Nian nodded, and smiled again, "I'm going to ask for a few more days off, and I have to fly to Austria."
Meng Yuan paused as he drank his coffee, and then he realized, "Is there any news on the bamboo slips?"
"Well, there is news. If there are no accidents, it should be brought back this time, but it will take a few days."
Meng Yuan waved his hand, "Now you have flowers blooming on the top of your head when you are free all day. What's the point of flying to Austria? It's just going to the Antarctic and the North Pole twice. You have this time! I met you in a good state when recording a song. I've given it twice, anyway, you can arrange the time yourself, and I'll let it go."
The trading time for the bamboo slip given by Luissen was the afternoon of the 23rd local time. After recording a song in the morning, Yu Nian flew to Austria with Xie You in the afternoon.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon local time when it landed, and Yu Nian's biological clock was very accurate. From the moment he got on the bus, he leaned on Xie You's shoulder and dozed off. Is it outside the school where you live?"
The warm light of the setting sun penetrated the car window and fell on Yu Nian's face, reflecting his pupils in a clear amber color. Xie You lightly touched Yu Nian's shining eyelashes with his fingers, and said "Yeah", "At that time, I didn't really like to get along or communicate with people too closely. Leto's dormitory was shared by two people, so I moved When I arrived outside the school, my father made the decision and bought a small building near the river for me to live in and practice piano."
Yu Nian squinted his eyes slightly in the sun, like a cat basking in the sun, and said lazily, "We live there too, right?"
"Well, the fried pork cutlet downstairs is delicious, and the sauce is made by the boss himself. The apple strudel in the store is also very good, slightly sour. For a while, I would buy apple strudel after practicing the piano in the morning. Make breakfast, just in time for school to start."
"What time do you usually get up to practice the piano?"
"Six o'clock, practice for an hour, go out for breakfast at 7:30, and go to class on time at 8 o'clock."
Induced by Xie You's gentle and hoarse voice, Yu Nian barely opened his eyes and looked at the white ancient building outside the window, as if he could see the young Xie You wearing Leto's black and white tuxedo school uniform at dawn , holding the score book, full of dreams, shuttling through the intertwined streets and alleys.
