Da Pao stood on the stage in a daze. The person he had been looking for for so many days suddenly appeared slowly in front of him facing the red light, and he couldn't react for a while.
Lu Yan looked at him, and laughed again, with the usual scorn in his eyes: "Why, don't you know me?"
Cannon looked at Lu Yan for a long time, then he suddenly put the piano on the ground and jumped off the stage.
After jumping off the cannon, he rushed directly to Lu Yan, and everyone watched as an awesome guitar player who was nearly 1.9 meters tall threw himself into Lu Yan's arms, grabbed Lu Yan's collar, and shouted with snot and tears: " —Brother!!!”
Faced with the sound of "big brother", Lu Yan thought helplessly: Actually, he hasn't been a big brother for many years.
Da Pao burst into tears, and was so excited that he couldn't help himself: "Brother, which band are you in now? Why did I go to the air-raid shelter to look for you so many times but didn't see you?"
Lu Yan put his hand on his forehead, trying to push him back: "... speak well."
The cannon is another snot.
what's the situation
Except for the two parties who reunited after a long absence, the others fell silent collectively.
For so many days, the major bands have tried all kinds of tricks to snatch this guitarist. Captain Spade even said "Come on, I'll let you be the lead guitarist" in the air-raid shelter, and was beaten up by the original guitarist on the spot: "Damn it, we have been in the wind and rain for so many years, and you just treat me like this."
Huang Mao said he was looking for his elder brother, but he had come to look for him so many times, but he had never seen the person he said appeared.
His eldest brother is actually Lu Yan.
Lu Yan.
Looking at the whole city, Lu Yan, the lead singer of Group V, had the worst piano skills.
…
Who the hell would have thought of this? !
Captain Spades looked at this situation, and felt that he was living in a dream. He looked at Lu Yan, then at Huang Mao, and thought dully: Even if Huang Mao said that the elder brother was Li Zhen, he would not So surprised.
The phrase "I am very confident" that he said on the phone yesterday turned into a slap, which made his face hurt.
After Da Pao wiped away his tears, he pointed to the stage and said to Lu Yan: "Let's compete now!"
"Lu Yan, that bastard," Captain Spades angrily patted Li Zhen on the shoulder, "What the hell are you doing?!"
Li Zhen said dully: "...don't ask me, I don't know who I am and where I am."
Lu Yan just said that he would take people off the stage in three minutes, but he still didn't believe it. In the end, Huang Mao rushed down from the stage by himself in only thirty seconds.
On the edge of the stage.
Cannon was still shouting "Competition".
Lu Yan interrupted him: "Stop."
cannon:"?"
Lu Yan: "Shut up for a while."
Lu Yan looked at Da Pao's face, and found that he still couldn't directly say to people, "Actually, I'm no longer that awesome big brother. If you want to compete with anyone who plays harder, I can still compare with you."
He paused for a moment, then put his arm on Cannon's shoulder and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Huh?" Cannon said, "Not yet."
"Let's go." After Da Pao packed the piano, Lu Yan hooked him and walked in the opposite direction of the stage, "Go to dinner first, and by the way...by the way, I'll tell you something."
Captain Spade saw Lu Yan walking out with his yellow hair curled up, and then he realized: "What are you two doing, the cannon belongs to our band today - I paid 500 yuan! 500!"
Captain Spades said and held out five fingers.
Da Pao can't see others now: "I'll pay you back the money, sorry, I want to have dinner with my elder brother."
Captain Spade was devastated: "He's the big brother you're looking for? Are you sure? You didn't find the wrong guy. This guy can't even play the guitar, and the whole thing is playing cotton..."
"..."
After Captain Spades finished speaking, Lu Yan stopped in his tracks.
Da Pao wanted to turn around and ask what to do with cotton, but just as he turned his head away, he saw Lu Yan's hand resting on his shoulder. On his wrist was an extremely eye-catching tattoo that he had never seen before.
On the barbecue stand.
Lu Yan finished explaining the matter in a few words, knowing that when he opened the third can of beer, the two people opposite were still crying.
Cannon cried once when he first met him in the underground bar, and this time he cried more violently. He sobbed and didn't know what to say, so he could only shout intermittently: "Brother, big brother."
Li Zhen was more restrained than him, that is, when he was staring down at the wine bottle, he secretly wiped his face: "Damn it."
"Brother for so many years, why didn't you say it? If you said it earlier, I wouldn't, I wouldn't..." I wouldn't always laugh at him for playing badly. He really didn't know before, but now thinking about what he said back then, are they human words
Before Li Zhen finished speaking, he lowered his head and said "fuck" again.
Lu Yan said, "It's all over."
He opened the can with one hand, unable to stand the atmosphere, and said, "Okay, you two are crying."
Lu Yan planned to hide from the owner of the barbecue stall under the guise of taking drinks. He was holding a beer can and was about to get up when the mobile phone that was thrown at his hand rang twice. He fished it to see that it was Xiao Heng.
The above is a simple sentence: Do you bring the keys.
Lu Yanhui: I brought it.
Xiao Heng only had one word this time.
[Xiao Heng]: OK.
Lu Yan thought that this young master must be the site's mastermind, so he would let him know before closing the door and going out.
He hesitated for a while, and when the screen was about to go dark, he sent another sentence: I'm eating out, so I'll go to the barbecue stand on the street, will you... come
Xiao Heng didn't return this time.
Lu Yan threw the phone back to the side, held the beer can and continued to drink.
It was the same as before receiving a message asking if he had brought his keys to go out, but Lu Yan started to stare at the opposite side of the street unconsciously, and he didn't know what he was looking at, maybe the streetlight on the other side of the street was too eye-catching.
Before the can of beer in Lu Yan's hand bottomed out, a bus slowly stopped at the side of the road, and in the crowd of people who got off the bus, a familiar figure came slowly from across the street.
He opened another can, hooked his fingers on the tab, and somehow felt the wind blowing around his ears, making his breathing much easier.
District Seven is not far from here.
Before Xiao Heng came here, he never thought about the scene at the barbecue stand: two big men hugged each other and cried, while Lu Yan sat opposite and drank.
"Is your website finished?" Lu Yan asked when Xiao Heng approached.
"Um."
Xiao Heng sat next to him, half-closed his eyes after speaking, and went to get the can of wine beside him.
Xiao Heng happened to take the can that Lu Yan had just opened, and only took two sips, holding it as if he had never drunk it. Lu Yan opened his mouth, and before he had time to remind him, Xiao Heng had already moved to his mouth and took a sip.
"..."
Lu Yan had a hesitant expression.
Xiao Heng looked at him sideways: "What?"
"Mine," Lu Yan pointed to the can of wine in his hand, "The can in your hand is mine."
Xiao Heng paused while holding the beer can.
Lu Yan thought he would put it down, but Xiao Heng just paused for a moment, took another sip, and said in a flat tone: "When you smoked my cigarette... why don't you think that the cigarette is mine."
cigarette.
This word is like a sensitive word.
Even though he had just finished drinking, Lu Yan felt that his throat was a little dry.
As soon as Xiao Heng said these words, the sobbing of the two people who were still immersed in the sad atmosphere stopped abruptly.
Cannon suddenly raised his head: "What?"
Li Zhen also asked: "What kind of cigarette?"
Li Zhen looked at him and Xiao Heng more and more strangely: "Are you two smoking a cigarette?"
Lu Yan tried to explain: "No."
"No, this brother's voice sounds very familiar to me," Li Zhen thought for a long time, then tapped the table, and finally remembered where he heard it, "Is it the one from the last call! You still hang up on me because of him! Who is he?" ah!"
Lu Yan: "..."
Why does it feel so subtle to say this.
Lu Yan was afraid that Xiao Heng would say "I am his father" to Li Zhen, so he introduced before him, "This is my neighbor."
There were more people on the table. After introducing each other, Da Pao and Li Zhen were too embarrassed to continue howling, and they sat at the same table and continued to drink.
Counting the time, Lu Yan asked Da Pao, "Are you a sophomore now?"
Da Pao said: "I just finished the college entrance examination, and it's still early to leave school, so I came to find you in advance. I failed the exam last year, and I repeated it for a year. This year, I finally got admitted to C University—"
Lu Yan was about to boast that the cannon is awesome.
Cannon then said: "A three-book college next to University C! The Royal Conservatory of Des Price!"
Lu Yan: "..."
Xiao Heng: "..."
Li Zhen: "..."
Lu Yan nudged Xiao Heng with his elbow: "You are near C University, and there is this school?"
Xiao Heng said, "I have no impression."
Lu Yan felt a headache when he heard it, and raised his hand to press his temple.
Da Pao scratched his head again after finishing speaking, and his tone dropped: "In order to study hard in high school, I went to a closed school, and then I moved home, and I lost all contact information. I still want to find you."
He wanted to tell Lu Yan to wait for him, for another year.
When Da Pao said this, the tears that had just stopped were about to flow out again.
"Why are you crying?" Lu Yan's eyes were also faintly hot, but he still suppressed the emotion, and said with a smile, "I heard that you are very good at guitar now, let me play a song?"
Da Pao wiped his tears when he heard the words, got up and opened the piano bag standing beside him, and took out the piano inside.
At this point, there are many people at the barbecue stall, and the seats at several tables are full of people.
As soon as Cannon took out the qin, people around shouted, clapping their hands and shouting: "Come one, come one!"
Cannon put on the piano belt on his back and put his hands on the strings. Although Cannon was quite calm on the underground bar stage just now, he was still a little nervous about Lu Yan, and felt a little bit like being tested by the teacher for his learning results.
He closed his eyes, and it took him a while to play the first sound.
The unplugged electric guitar was very quiet, luckily their place was not too big.
In the middle of Da Pao's performance of piano skills, Lu Yan put his hand sideways into Xiao Heng's jacket pocket very naturally, trying to take out a pack of cigarettes.
He focused on Cannon's technique of playing the guitar, and he took it out entirely by feeling, but he felt for a long time, and even vaguely touched the strong muscle lines under the man's clothes through the thin layer of fabric, but he didn't touch the pack of cigarettes. .
"..."
Xiao Heng endured it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't take it any longer, and pressed his hand with a "tsk": "What are you touching?"
Lu Yan pulled his hand back belatedly, forgetting to listen to what the cannon was firing for a while: "Is there any smoke?"
Xiao Heng threw the cigarette case over.
Lu Yan nodded.
Da Pao may have been too nervous at the beginning and missed a shot. After that period passed, Li Zhen's fluent piano skills, which were praised by Li Zhen, were revealed. The moment the cannon was fired, the barbecue booth was boiling, and everyone stood up and applauded.
Xiao Heng asked: "Is this your apprentice?"
"Yes," Lu Yan said proudly, "How about it, is it serious?"
Xiao Heng didn't speak.
After a while, Lu Yan heard the person next to him say in a flat tone: "It's okay."
Lu Yan didn't speak any more.
He bit his cigarette, waited for the cheers to pass before he stood up, and said something that surprised everyone: "Give me the piano."
Cannon: "Huh?"
Li Zhen didn't understand what kind of development this was: "What are you going to do?"
Only Xiao Heng didn't speak, he had a vague guess, and sure enough—
"Isn't there a competition?" Lu Yan said.
Da Pao has been clamoring for a competition with him since he first met him four years ago. Before he left Jizhou, he also said to Da Pao: If we meet again in the future, I will compete with you again.
The agreement of "competition" is not just as simple as who is better for him and Da Pao.
Lu Yan took the piano from Da Pao, tried it twice before starting to play.
What he played was the song by Cannon just now. He didn't remember the score of this song very well, but after playing Cannon just now, he could play it exactly as it should.
Lu Yan stood beside their table with the piano on his back, but the barbecue stand half a road wide was his stage.
Behind him, there are street lights stretching to the other end of the road.
Overhead is the bright night sky of downtown.
Although his current level of playing guitar is obviously not comparable to that of Cannon, and he can't exert his strength after pressing the strings for a long time, muffled, wrong sounds, and the speed is not fast.
…
After Lu Yan finished playing, the cannon still made his eyes wet.
After Lu Yan played the last note, his whole body was illuminated by the street lamp by the side of the road as if he was glowing. He patted Cannon on the head and said, "That's right, you'll be able to catch up with me in a few hundred years."
In this slightly sad atmosphere, Lu Yan did not forget his mission and mission this time, and said sonorously and forcefully in a tone that was no different from that of the major bands before: "Actually, our band just recently A guitarist is gone—"
"The band Vent has been in the group for almost four years, and their songs have created their own art world!"
"I think you are good, why don't you follow me?"
Xiao Heng: "..."
Cannon: "..."
Li Zhen: "..."
