"three years ago?"

"Three years ago was the year my brother... committed suicide."

Three years ago, Liyun City was holding a selection of original singers. Of course, it was impossible to miss Liyun in the national audition. This coastal city has one of the two largest music academies in the country, Liyun Conservatory of Music.

"Let the world listen to your songs, your voice... Welcome to the "Please Listen" original singer audition site..."

The loud and clear voice of the host echoed in the crowded venue. Every young man raised his eager face, holding his own number plate, looking forward to the selection of the studio, and whether his number was called .

Xi Qin, who was not yet 20 years old, was also among the crowd. He didn't look around nervously or practice non-stop, but just kept his head down, earphones on, and a guitar on his back, waiting quietly and calmly.

It didn't mean that he wasn't nervous. The initial audition wasn't difficult. He was almost sure that he would pass. It was an affirmation of his own strength. According to this situation, it would be no problem for him to advance to the top [-] in one go.

The reason for coming here is that Xi Qin’s teacher at the Jiyun Conservatory of Music is also a judge here. He likes Xi Qin’s creative style, but recently Xi Qin is fighting with this teacher. The teacher told him that his current creation There is a problem with the direction, and sooner or later it will come to an end, and Jiang Lang's talents will be exhausted.

At that time, Xi Qin, who still had some secondary illnesses, watched those contestants who were so nervous that their voices trembled with indifference and arrogance throughout the whole process, thinking that sometimes it is more important to practice a good mentality before going on stage than strength, and the teacher’s advice did not conflict with his own creation .

A good song is a song that someone likes to listen to. If there is no audience, Yangchun Baixue will only be a mediocre song. There is nothing wrong with pop music being down-to-earth.

This is the reason Xi Qin, who had sung in a bar before he was an adult, came up with the truth.

Today's participation here is not to say that it is for fame, Xi Qin just wants to get a public proof and challenge his true strength.

When it was his turn to play, he briefly introduced himself, deliberately avoided the unclear eyes of the teacher sitting on the judges' seat, and directly opened his posture, buckled the strings, and the light and rhythmic sound of the guitar bounced out——

"...the air by the sea is exceptionally fresh / You are unexpectedly quiet beside me / The waves took away your laughter / I didn't hear clearly / The last sentence you said..."

"...This sentence/Would it be I would like/I still love you/I can't think of anything else-your parting words/broken in the foam/flowing with the waves/too late to catch you..."

The melody gradually turned sad, and Xi Qin's expressionless face made people wonder what he was thinking in his heart. His light expression couldn't resist the melancholy in the melody, his slightly hoarse voice rubbed against the strings of the guitar, and when he raised his eyes, he raised his eyebrows. There seems to be a sad expression flowing through the red eye ends.

The most beautiful and leisurely humming ended the song. The three judges, except Xi Qin's teacher, couldn't help applauding: "It's very beautiful! It's affectionate and not artificial. The originally sad story is expressed in a light-hearted tune. , very innovative..."

Xi Qin nodded sincerely and pursed the corners of his mouth modestly. Only Xi Qin's teacher snorted softly. Although he was promoted like other judges, he shook his finger at him: "This contestant, although very talented Talent, but less spiritual, flashy, if you can sing and create with more heart, you can be better, hope you can go further, kid."

Xi Qin was a little dissatisfied at the time, but he didn't show the slightest bit. He couldn't help becoming irritable, bowed to the judges and teachers, and left.

Back at the school dormitory, Xi Qin, who was not very gregarious, was ignored by no one. Only a gay roommate who was gay greeted him and told him that there was a boy who looked like him downstairs in the dormitory today. He, he left without him.

"Looks like me? My brother?" Xi Qin was unbelievably sure again and again, and the roommate winked at him: "That's your brother? So handsome! Like an actor! But you two are so similar, he must be good-looking Duo, is it because you are too serious and don't smile much, lowering your appearance? It's a pity..."

Xi Qin hurriedly called Xi Han, but no one answered. Feeling flustered for no reason, he hurriedly asked him, "Did my brother ask you to tell me anything?"

Only then did the roommate recover from the nympho: "Oh, he said don't worry if you can't get in touch with him, he is not in a good mood and wants to go out to relax, his eyes are still red...he also said that he will leave tomorrow .”

Xi Qin was even more uneasy: "I'm leaving tomorrow... Did he say where to go?"

"No, I think he went out to the east gate, hailed a taxi and left."

Unable to contact Xi Han, Xi Qin immediately thought of Luo Ye. Could it be that the two had a conflict and quarrel?

After contacting Luo Ye, the tone of the other party was indeed not very good, and he said to Xi Qin anxiously: "We are both fine, don't worry, he went to find you?"

"I didn't see him, you... what happened?"

Luo Ye's voice was hoarse, as if he had smoked too much: "He will go abroad for further study next month, and I have taken care of everything for him in country A, but he hesitated suddenly, and has been going out recently, I don't Knowing what he's up to, he doesn't tell me anything...sorry for whining."

Xi Qin frowned gradually: "I know who my brother is, but are you doubting him?"

Luo Ye took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time: "Then how do you explain his abnormality?"

"If you don't trust each other, I won't persuade you anymore. I can only tell you how difficult it has been for him to save me from the old bastard all these years. When my mother and grandma passed away, he I have never cried, but today I came to look for me with red eyes..."

Luo Ye took a quick breath, and a panicked voice came from the receiver: "I... I'll go find him right away, do you know where he is?"

Xi Qin raised his forehead depressedly: "I don't know, but it should be in Zangyun, and I will go to him too."

Luo Ye: "Aren't you participating in the selection of 'Please Listen'? Go prepare for your competition. I can do it by myself. Xi Han is fine. If something happens, I will apologize to you."

Xi Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Luo Ye: "Brother Luo, you have to be nice to my brother. If you let me know, it won't be as simple as pleading guilty."

"Sure, don't worry." Luo Ye smiled and hung up.

It wasn't until the third day that Xi Qin received another call from Luo Ye. Xi Han still couldn't get through, but he was found.

"Brother, how is he? Are you okay?" Xi Qin was preparing the song for the top [-] promotion competition, and was very busy, paying attention to Xi Han's situation at all times.

When my elder brother is in love, he worries more than he does.

"Xiaohan is fine, he is just not in a good mood. He told me that the Xi family has a history of depression all the time. There will be times when the mood is low. It will be fine when he recovers." Luo Ye's voice was a little tired, but it was hard to hide his peace of mind. happiness.

Xi Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it's okay, the depression... is mainly because of our parents, my brother is not serious, Brother Luo, you have to understand."

Luo Ye smiled: "Of course I understand, I love him and it's impossible not to tolerate these things, and you are too. I'm preparing for the competition recently. Don't stress too much and keep a happy mood."

Xi Qin's heart warmed up. Luo Ye and his brother have been together for the past two years. He has never been able to adapt, feeling that his brother has been taken away, and then slowly accepted Luo Ye as "brother". Xi Qin can finally feel it. To a kind of warmth of home.

"Well, I know, by the way, where is my brother?"

"He...is taking a bath, maybe he will have to wait a while." Luo Ye's tone was narrow.

Xi Qin still can't understand that when the two of them reunite, it's not right if they don't do anything.

"Well, I won't bother you anymore. Let me call me back when you have time. Goodbye."

It's just that Xi Qin didn't expect that Xi Han's call came to him three days later, at the backstage of the promotion to the top [-].

Xi Qin, who was about to play, had already got the microphone, and the staff was pinning his ears back, when the phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly.

The staff hurriedly said: "Ah, little brother, you can't bring your mobile phone on the field! You can leave it to us for safekeeping, and you won't lose it!"

Xi Qin glanced hastily, and was about to hang up and go on stage, but the caller ID gave him a slap in the face—it was Xi Han!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xi Qin ignored the staff's reminder and picked it up: "Hello? Brother, you..."

"Xiaoqin, where are you?" Xi Han's voice was calm, but the wind from the receiver was so loud that Xi Han's words could hardly be heard clearly.

"I'm backstage at the Sun Yun Grand Theater, and I'm about to go on stage...Brother, where are you now?" Xi Qin suddenly felt heart palpitations, and all the sounds around him were noisy, as if something was about to swallow him.

After a long silence, Xi Han sighed, "I'm in... a very cold place, it's going to rain, the wind is so strong... I'm a little tired..."

"Why is this world so dark...it's too dark, Xiaoqin, I can't see anything, and I only have you... Live well, tell Luo Ye for me, I'm sorry for him..."

The whistling wind was accompanied by a loud noise, similar to the sound of huge waves hitting the reef, and the foam broke on the shore and was smashed to pieces.

"Where are you?! Brother!" Xi Qin couldn't help asking him, but there was only the sound of wind and waves on the other end of the phone, and there was no one. And dull.

"...Next, I would like to invite the No.12 contestant, the melancholy prince from the Yunyun Conservatory of Music—Xi Qin! Bring us—"The Waves Send You Off."

With a trembling of his hand, the phone fell to the ground. Before Xi Qin could pick it up, he was pushed onto the stage by the staff. The spotlight pinned him to the center of the stage in an instant. The cheers of the audience and the lights on the top were like a raging tide , drowning him.

With his mind full of coldness, he stared at the void in front of him absent-mindedly, and he had unconsciously picked up the microphone, and the prelude that he had listened to countless times rang in his ears, and Xi Qin only felt like running away.

He wanted to escape from this stage, but something was obviously wrong with that phone call, something must have happened to Xi Han, and he had to go find him.

But the music accompanied by the sound of the waves seemed to be mocking him, as if his throat was tightly held by both hands, unable to breathe.

"........."

He couldn't make a sound.

All the audience, as well as the judges, just watched him open his mouth, but no sound came out, and just missed the prelude, cold sweat poured down, and people's puzzled noises and eyes roared, which was suffocating.

With questioning eyes, Xi Qin bowed deeply, turned around and fled the stage without looking back, took the mobile phone from the staff, and ran out of the backstage.

While rushing out of the venue, he called Luo Ye, his voice was so hoarse that he could barely hear it with heavy panting, he clenched his teeth: "Brother Luo... Where is my brother?"

"Xiao Han? Didn't he say to watch your game?" Luo Ye was very surprised, "What's wrong with your voice?"

As if he had a premonition, Xi Qin quickly hailed a taxi and walked towards the harbor.

"He didn't come to look for me, he just called me, and now I can't get through," Xi Qin tried his best to make a hoarse voice, "I think he's at the beach... go find him!"

Hurriedly disconnecting the phone, Xi Qin panted to calm down the mad rush just now, and asked the driver to drive faster. His throat felt like it was being burned, and the pain was excruciating. The further he walked towards the harbor, the stronger his heart palpitations became.

it's dark.

Dark clouds overwhelmed the city, and the light rain was blown by the sea wind into sharp arrows, which pierced obliquely on the car glass. Xi Qin looked blankly at the dark sky and felt that it was about to collapse.

Taking a picture of 100 yuan to give to the driver, Xi Qin rushed into the rain without waiting for the change. The raindrops that were getting bigger and bigger hurt his body, but he didn't dare to stop at all.

"Brother——! Xi Han——!"

The pouring rain tore apart Xi Qin's cries. Because of the heavy rain, the crowd was dispersed, and the deserted harbor was lonely and terrifying. The waves were overwhelming and surging like man-eating beasts.

Like a wet ghost, Xi Qin ran staggeringly around the port. Not far away, there were policemen surrounding the shore, and someone was pointing at the white waves below the reef.

"...someone jumped into the sea! If you can't stop it, you will be gone all at once..."

The old fisherman's vague voice came through the wind and rain. He gestured to the police, and when he turned his head, he saw Xi Qin, who was drenched all over, coming, and was shocked: "Hey! It's him!...Ah, no, no! No This young man, the one who jumped into the sea looks a lot like him! He is also tall and thin, but his clothes are different..."

The policeman nodded and walked towards him. His voice was even more blurred, as if he was listening to the sound on the shore from the water. His ears were blocked by the water, and he could not hear clearly, nor could he see who was coming.

After hearing "someone jumped into the sea", Xi Qin only felt that everything in front of him fell apart.

"Hey! Young man, understand the situation, you are here...Hey! Are you okay..."

There was darkness in front of his eyes, and Xi Qin was almost drowned in the downpour by strong heart palpitations. His last consciousness of the day stopped on the stormy harbor.

It was as if the whole world was crying for him.
