"'Heavy metal HEAVY METAL, simply put, is rock music played with a little extra power. The guitar, as the main element of this music, is played a little louder than usual, with a sense of vengeance'."
"'Before, the bass was the main instrument only in jazz, but in heavy metal rock, the bass has become as important as the vocals. Compared with ordinary pop music, the drums are played harder and faster, which creates a kind of Shock. And finally the singer—who makes the listener experience the emotions and feelings of death, sex, hallucinogenic drugs or alcohol, and other new things that shock, and makes those themes that appear in popular music more believable and possibly more terrifying people'."
…
Hiding in the house he rented, Qi Xi recited the definition and origin of heavy metal rock in Baidu Encyclopedia, while feeling his head was as big as a bucket, what is this and what is it!
When Qixi was reviewing and memorizing the law for the judicial examination, he never felt such a headache.
Can anyone tell her why there is black metal besides heavy metal, and there are many branches of black metal, such as depression black metal, death black metal; and besides black metal, there are glam metal, industrial metal and so on kind of derivative…
Although Qi Xi read it once, he didn't succeed in understanding it.
In the end, after burning the lights and fighting all night, Qi Xi barely managed to become an expert in heavy metal rock music with basic theoretical knowledge by staying up late. She felt that as long as they didn't talk too deeply, they would generally not reveal their secrets.
In short, on the second day, Qi Xi, with her confidence in this knowledge and deep dark circles, waited outside the agreed rock music venue to meet Gu Yan.
She originally wanted to show her sincerity and waited for Gu Yan at the agreed place first, but because she was afraid of traffic jams on the road, she arrived at the destination nearly half an hour earlier than the agreed time with Gu Yan.
It's just that Qi Xi never expected that even though she arrived so early, Gu Yan would already be waiting for her when she arrived.
When he saw Qi Xi, he was obviously also taken aback: "Why are you here so early?"
"Shouldn't I say that?" Qi Xi glanced at his watch to confirm that he read it correctly, "Didn't we make an appointment in half an hour?"
Gu Yan cleared his throat, looked at the billboard not far away, and looked quite calm: "Oh, I happened to pass by for business, I didn't expect things to be done so quickly, so I arrived a little early."
Qi Xi was a little curious: "What's the matter?"
Normally, both of them are classmates, and now they are also colleagues. Qi Xi's polite questioning is also a part of normal social interaction. It is similar to "Have you eaten today?" It is usually used to find something to talk about. To open the topic, at this time, Gu Yan only needs to give a polite response.
Qi Xi didn't really expect to know what Gu Yan was up to, and she didn't really care, but she didn't expect Gu Yan to face this problem as if he was facing a big enemy. He was stunned for a long time before emphasizing Said: "In short, there is something."
He glanced at Qi Xi and added, "That's why I arrived early."
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he took another look at Qi Xi and cleared his throat: "What about you? So early?"
"I was afraid of traffic jams, so I wanted to arrive early. I didn't expect the road to be smooth today, so I arrived so early..." After Qi Xi finished speaking, he couldn't help yawning.
I stayed up late last night, so today's sequelae are too serious, but the concert will start in the afternoon, and now being exposed to the warm sunlight in the afternoon, Qi Xi only feels a little drowsy.
However, she keenly discovered that she had two big dark circles under her eyes, and Gu Yan didn't give in. Under the corners of her fair eyes, there were actually two big dark circles under her eyes.
Qi Xi used to stay up all night before exams in school, so dark circles under his eyes were commonplace, but Gu Yan...
In her impression, Gu Yan never stayed up late, and his schedule was as regular as an old cadre. Qi Xi once hated Gu Yan's calmness to death, because he seemed to get the first place without any effort.
only…
It's just that Gu Yan's two ugly big black eyes...
Because of his fair skin, now these two dark circles hang on Gu Yan's face, they are so obvious that people can't ignore them, like a handsome panda that people want to cherish and protect.
How long did you have to stay up late last night
In this world, is there anything worthy of Gu Yan's staying up all night
Logically speaking, Gu Yan's recent case didn't require him to work overtime in the middle of the night... So did he go to study? In the middle of the night, looking at case files and summarizing case handling manuals
While Qi Xi secretly looked at Gu Yan, his heart was filled with a sense of urgency for competition. Anyway, I am in the same team as Gu Yan, and I graduated from the same school before, and now my immediate boss is Gu Yan's sister, if Gu Yan is much better than me, the gap is very obvious...
As a result, regarding the topic of staying up late, this time it was Gu Yan who spoke first, and asked what Qi Xi was thinking: "Did you stay up late last night? Why are your dark circles so heavy? Didn't you not work much recently?"
Qi Xi sneered a few times, and said nonsense: "I... I'm so excited that I can't sleep because I'm going to listen to heavy metal rock today..." She looked at Gu Yan, "What about you? The dark circles under your eyes are also quite obvious."
Gu Yan pursed his lips and said calmly, "Oh, I'm also quite excited."
Seeing Gu Yan's calm emotions and expressionless expression, Qi Xi couldn't help but feel emotional again, is this the displeasure that people who do great things should have
Gu Yan, on the surface, can't see how much he looks forward to this heavy metal rock, but he frequently looks at the entrance of the ball game in another stadium next to him, but in fact, he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night
However, Qi Xi was still a little concerned about Gu Yan's eyes towards the football game, she said casually, "Do you want to watch the football game?"
When Qi Xi didn't ask, he had been watching, but when Qi Xi asked, Gu Yan almost immediately withdrew his gaze, and retorted righteously: "Oh, no, I prefer heavy metal rock."
That's right, it was mentioned in "Gu Yan Daquan", that Gu Yan likes the small crowd, and dismisses the vulgar hobby of ordinary men like ball games.
However, Qi Xi checked the time, because both of them came too early, and there is still some distance before the entry time, so instead of standing at the entrance of the venue and waiting stupidly, it is better to find a coffee shop to have a drink.
Just do what you say, Qi Xi immediately warmly invited: "There is a good dessert and drink shop nearby, I will take you there!"
This dessert shop is opened by a Frenchman. It is said that he used to be a Michelin chef. The taste is really authentic, so the price is not very affordable, but because of the good quality, the business is not bad, and there are many couples and Internet celebrities who come to check in. .
It was written in "Gu Yan Daquan" that Gu Yan likes sweets very much, and Qi Xi felt that such a choice should be right in Gu Yan's heart.
Although Qi Xi couldn't understand what's so good about heavy metal rock, she totally agreed with the beauty of desserts. Almost as soon as he arrived at the dessert shop, Qi Xi looked at the exquisite macarons and all kinds of desserts in the window, and couldn't move away.
After sitting down on the seat and getting the menu, Qi Xi's eyes lit up a little: "Wow! Why are there so many new products! This cherry blossom pudding, this chocolate tart, and these new flavors of macarons dragon… "
Everyone wants to eat...
But Qi Xi took a look at the price, and knew that he should just pick one. Although she has now settled her foreign debts to Gu Yan, she still has a lot of rent and daily expenses. It is the mature top lawyers who make a lot of money, and trainee lawyers like them don't have a high salary. In order to show their attitude, Qi Xi stopped asking his family for money, and Qi Xi's life started to be careful and careful.
Although I want to eat all of them, I can't buy them all.
"Have you picked it?" You need to go to the cashier to order and pay, Gu Yan looked at Qi Xi, and said very naturally, "I'll pay for it when I've chosen it." He lowered his gaze, "You've paid for the heavy metal rock ticket, Let me eat everything today."
Qi Xi was not polite to Gu Yan, she chose to look at the menu for a long time like a difficulty, and then she finally made up her mind: "Then let's have cherry blossom pudding, and add a cup of mocha."
Gu Yan didn't say anything, and went to line up to pay the bill.
Soon, the waiter brought desserts and drinks, and Qi Xi's table attracted the attention of other young couples—
Because Gu Yan ordered almost all the new products and even the old ones...
The waiter alone had to serve it twice before all the desserts were served, and then the whole table was filled.
Everything in this dessert shop is exquisite, and everything is also very expensive. After ordering so many, the price is not cheap...
Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan in disbelief. Although he knew from "Gu Yan Daquan" that Gu Yan likes sweets, he didn't expect this man to like sweets so much. She only ordered cherry blossom pudding, so Gu Yan ordered the rest
"So much?"
Gu Yan let out a "hmm".
It was the uncle who paid the money, anyway, Gu Yan ordered it himself, Qi Xi didn't say anything, but obediently took his own cherry blossom pudding and mocha.
It's just that Gu Yan ordered so many, but he didn't eat much. He only ate a chestnut-flavored macaron, and he frowned slightly when he ate it. If Qi Xi didn't know that he loves sweets, he would have thought that he would have eaten it just by looking at it. This man is enduring the sweet taste.
After eating this macaron, Gu Yan stopped moving.
"You don't want to eat?" Qi Xi looked at the time, "You have to finish eating quickly, otherwise we will enter the venue later."
Gu Yan didn't look regretful at all, he just glanced at the various delicate desserts on the table, and said flatly: "Oh, suddenly I can't eat any more."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Qi Xi, and briefly added: "I ate a bit too much at home before I came here. Just now I wanted to eat all of them, but now I can't eat any more after eating one."
That…
Gu Yan glanced at the whole table of desserts: "But since I've ordered and paid for it, and the time before the concert is pretty tight, then help me finish it."
It's okay for Qi Xi to help finish the meal, but... a gentleman doesn't take away people's love.
"Do you want to pack it and take it home to eat? I'll help you get a take-out box."
It's a pity that Gu Yan didn't seem to be interested in Qi Xi's proposal. He glanced at Qi Xi and said calmly: "My sister won't let me pack so many desserts back home."
ah
Qi Xi was a little surprised.
Gu Yan calmly said: "Because she is losing weight, she was afraid that she would lose control when she saw the dessert. If I pack it back, I will be retaliated against by her."
Sure enough, every woman is not satisfied with her figure. Gu Xuehan has such a good body proportion, but unexpectedly she is still losing weight! It seems that even the heroic lawyer Gu is somewhat affected by the anxiety of women's appearance and body in society.
but…
But Qixi is not afraid of getting fat for sweets!
Now that Gu Yan has said that, how can Qi Xi not be kind
After all, Qi Xi's preference for sweets can always leave room for sweets in her stomach.
She said with pride and ambition, "Lawyer Gu doesn't grow meat, so let me grow it for her! It can be regarded as helping the boss solve problems!"
Ignoring Gu Yan's rather speechless eyes, Qi Xi started to eat.
While eating, she thought about chatting with Gu Yan to get closer. After much deliberation, she decided to use the heavy metal rock to be listened to as an icebreaker topic: "Among so many categories of heavy metal rock, which one do you like?"
Thinking of reciting so much last night, Qi Xi is also reluctant to waste it, always thinking that everything will come in handy today, and show himself and him this "common interest" in front of Gu Yan.
It's just that before she had time to "show", Gu Yan spoke first—
"Heavy metal is actually divided into many styles, including black heavy metal, industrial heavy metal, death heavy metal and so on."
"In short, 'In heavy metal rock, the bass has become as important as the vocals. The drums are played harder and faster than in normal pop, and it's a shock to the listener. And finally the singer—who makes the listener Experiencing the onslaught of emotions and feelings of death, sex, hallucinogenic drugs or alcohol and other new things also makes those themes that pop music appear more believable and possibly more terrifying'…”
Qi Xi didn't feel it at first, but the more he listened later, the more confused he became.
What Gu Yan said was really logical, as if he knew very well about heavy metal rock, like a true fan, but...
But isn't what he said now just what he copied and recited from Baidu Encyclopedia last night? It's verbatim!
Gu Yan, as a deep lover of heavy metal rock music, is it also popular to memorize Baidu Encyclopedia
But if you really love something, your understanding of heavy metal rock will definitely not be limited to superficial things like Baidu Encyclopedia
Qi Xi was full of doubts, but in the end, sweets blocked her mouth. As soon as the dessert is in her mouth, she completely forgets about everything else around her.
Although Gu Yan is quite a wasteful person, the desserts that Qi Xi ordered were the ones that Qi Xi was struggling with just now. Now, taking advantage of Gu Yan's inability to eat them all, Qi Xi has tried all the new products of this dessert shop. all over.
When he came out of the dessert shop, Qi Xi felt sincerely happy.
However, this happiness soon became vulnerable after entering the concert and the official start of this heavy metal concert—
Although a lot of preparations were urgently made last night, Qi Xi never thought that the heavy metal rock scene would be like this.
Loud, noisy, full of messy elements, and some gloomy, irritable and fragmented emotions.
Many fans were shouting and screaming, but Qi Xi couldn't perceive their excitement and fanaticism at all, she only felt it was deafening. The lights at the scene were so chaotic that Qi Xi almost couldn't open her eyes. Compared with her eyes, her ears suffered more pain.
She looked sideways at Gu Yan, wondering why Gu Yan enjoyed such music, but Qi Xi didn't find any expression of intoxication or immersion on Gu Yan's face, his appearance was the same as her own, slightly wrinkled My eyebrows don't seem to like this heavy metal rock performance much.
Suddenly, Qi Xi had a wonderful guess.
Gu Yan, do you not like heavy metal rock
