together for a moment

Zhao Yimu didn't know what the so-called "party" was like. It would be easier to wear formal clothes. He dug out a pair of dark slim-fit jeans from the closet, matched them with a white shirt, and added a black and gray rhombic wool vest on top. Throw on a dark gray blazer, not formal, but not so casual either.

But when he sat in the car and watched Nick running over with the piano case on his back, he knew how old-fashioned he was, and he seemed to be a generation behind Nick.

Nick is wearing a pair of black eight-quarter-length leather pants, and the top is also a white shirt, but Nick's is a fitted version with embossed patterns, the collar is very design, and the top button is on the top of the chest, revealing a small collarbone But without letting people see too much, he was wearing a dark brown short leather jacket, which simply showed his slender waist and long legs.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Nick got into the car and put the piano case in the back seat.

"Why do you bring a piano case? Going to the party and earning extra money?" Zhao Yimu took a deep breath as Nick got into the car and brought a familiar scent of chamomile, and his anxiety was relieved a lot.

"Am I someone who can make money from my friends?" Nick clicked his tongue, "My friends have been playing in underground bands since they were students, and several of them will bring instruments tonight. I guess HIGH will last all night."

"Then is it not suitable for me to go empty-handed?" Zhao Yimu was in a low mood just now and didn't think of this.

"Don't worry, I bring a bottle of red wine in addition to the musical instrument." Zhao Yimu realized that he was also carrying a paper bag, and Nick took out a bottle of wine from the bag and flashed it in front of his eyes.

"Is this from Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the Rhône Valley of France?" Zhao Yimu recognized the wine label: "Just give this?"

"A bottle of more than 100 yuan, cheap and delicious French red wine." Nick smiled: "Do you think it's too poor to give this? Don't worry, today's gift has a theme."

"What theme?" Zhao Yimu asked.

Nick made a fool of himself, smiled and said, "You'll find out later."

According to the address Nick gave him, Zhao Yimu drove for an hour to the mountainous area in the outskirts of the city, and stopped at the entrance of a villa halfway up the mountain. There were already many cars parked in front of him, and the sound of music coming from the villa could be faintly heard.

"Are you holding a party here?" Zhao Yimu parked the car in the open space on the side of the road.

"I heard it's a special business loan. The vast land and sparse population here won't disturb others." Nick got out of the car and straightened his clothes, carrying the piano case on his shoulder, and holding the paper bag of wine in his hand.

"Isn't it cold that you have such a big part of your neck exposed?" Zhao Yimu glanced at it. Nick has turned white a lot since he came back from India, and the pulsation of his Adam's apple and muscles can be seen under his white and thin skin.

"I have a scarf, let's talk about it when it's cold." Nick chuckled.

When entering the gate, there is a path first, and there are light sticks on the ground to guide the direction. This approach reminds Zhao Yimu that when high school clubs organize activities, they often post small slogans or arrow symbols in places, and he can't help but smile knowingly.

At the end of the aisle stood two people wearing conical shiny party hats to welcome the guests, among them the one in the wine red suit clapped his hands and shouted when he saw Nick: "Is that Du Xiaopian, the special violinist of our group?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, so handsome, don't let him come on stage, he will steal our demeanor." Another man in a royal blue suit snorted.

"The so-called special contract is free, right? You guys really took advantage of me from a young age." Nick warmly hugged them, "The newcomers welcome here in person?"

"The people invited here are all old friends, and we can't wait to have a chat with everyone." The man in the wine red suit patted Nick on the back, and turned his eyes to see Zhao Yimu, "Who is this?"

"Let me introduce you," Nick said to Zhao Yimu, pointing to the one in the wine red suit, "this is Chen Yisheng. I met him in the second year of junior high school. He was a sophomore in high school. Because of his clear and distinctive voice, he was the lead singer in the band. His job is computer engineer."

"And this one is Brother Yisheng's partner, Liu An." Nick introduced the royal blue suit, "Brother An used to play the electronic piano in other bands, but was poached by Brother Yisheng with extraordinary means, to make music together and to have fun together, My job is as a restaurant chef.”

"It seems that you two are the protagonists of today's party. Congratulations...Happy to get the certificate." Zhao Yimu smiled and shook hands with the two respectively, "My name is Zhao Yimu."

"He is a friend I met when I was traveling in India, but he is a white-collar barrister." Nick added.

"You didn't come with Brother Liang, you brought a friend..." Chen Yisheng smiled meaningfully, "Brother Liang will be sad when he sees it later."

Nick was about to clarify, but without warning, Zhao Yimu put his arm around his shoulders and swayed, asking in a domineering boyfriend's manner: "Who is Brother Liang? Your suitor?"

"..." Nick opened his eyes and opened his mouth without saying a word, wondering which show he is playing now?

"It's okay, it's not important." Liu An punched Chen Yisheng on the shoulder, "Don't leave any pot unopened! The party is about to start later, I'll leave it to you here, and I'll talk to our special agent first. The violinist came to the stage and gave an opening performance." After speaking, he led Nick and Zhao Yimu to the venue.

Nick deliberately slowed down to keep a distance from Liu An, and asked Zhao Yimu in a low voice, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Brother Liang is your brother-in-law, right? The one who has never given up on you?" Zhao Yimu also lowered his voice, took his hand and said, "Remember my idea before? Tonight I will play your suitor, now The progressive kind."

Nick wanted to say something, but Liu An suddenly turned around and asked him, "Du Xiaopian, do you still remember the song Amanda's Waltz performed at the school celebration?"

"How can I forget this? It's just that I haven't been playing the violin recently, so don't feel bad about it." Nick laughed a few times, looked down at the intersecting hands, felt uncomfortable but didn't want to pull them away, that's it He was led into the venue by Zhao Yimu.

There are already many guests on the lawn in front of the villa. The venue is decorated with simple candlelight and bouquets, which is elegant and not overbearing. The most expensive equipment in the venue should be the speakers installed around. Zhao Yimu doesn't know much about these, but he thinks the sound quality Very supple.A stage was set up against the wall, and a projection cloth was pulled on the stage to show photos of the newcomers just like a normal wedding banquet. The only difference is that they are all photos of life and travel, and there are no wedding photos of twisting waist and hips.

The glass sliding door of the living room of the villa is opened to become a semi-open-air space. There are various meals on the table and the long table in the garden, and the resident chef is roasting suckling pig, which is very much like a party held abroad.The guests arrived one after another, about 50 or [-] people, toasted in twos and threes, talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

"Borrow Du Xiaopian from you and play the opening song with me." Liu An and Zhao Yimu made a gesture and pulled Nick onto the stage.

Zhao Yimu took a glass of champagne and sat down in an inconspicuous corner. In the stands, Nick took out the piano and whispered to Liu An for a while, then put the piano on his shoulders, Liu An sat down in front of the electronic piano, and the two began to play with eye contact.

The brisk and melodious melody flows smoothly in the autumn night wind. Zhao Yimu saw Nick play the piano for the first time. It was completely different from his expression when playing the harmonica or doing other things. He was very relaxed and intoxicated, exuding confidence, and his expression sometimes stretched and sometimes frowned with the melody , Traveling in the music world like no one else.

"Hey, this kid is really handsome." Chen Yisheng appeared next to Zhao Yimu at some point, looked at the stage and said with a smile, "No wonder someone has no love for him."

"Is he his brother?" Zhao Yimu asked.

"Oh? Did he mention it to you? You are quite honest with each other." Chen Yisheng raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise: "We have known each other since four high schools. I firmly believed that they would spend this life together, but unfortunately in the end It's by destiny."

"Is his brother-in-law married because of his family relationship?" Zhao Yimu usually doesn't like to pry into other people's privacy, but his brain is quicker than his mouth, and curiosity has the upper hand.

"Well, they sent him out of the country forcefully, and his parents forced him to leave an offspring for the family," Chen Yisheng sighed. "Later, there was some power struggle in the textile factory that the two of them partnered with. I don't know the details. Anyway, later Du Xiao Pian's father withdrew and started a new stove by himself, but he didn't expect a fire to burn down the happiness of the family of three."

"Have they ever been in love?" Zhao Yimu accidentally asked another question that shouldn't be asked, but he just wanted to know what Nick thought of his brother.

"Have they ever been in love? Good question." Chen Yisheng pondered for a while and seemed to be thinking, but in the end he just shook his head and said: "This should be asked to the person concerned, sometimes what looks like love to others is not necessarily love."

The performance on the stage just ended, there was thunderous applause from the audience and someone whistled, Nick smiled and bowed to the audience, and ran off the stage with the piano.

"It's time for me to play," Chen Yisheng patted his sleeves, and said to Zhao Yimu: "Don't be restrained, our party is very free. Enjoy the music and food, and if you feel interested, you can also sing on stage later, this is up to you It’s a rare opportunity for the band to play.” After speaking, he walked to the stage and rubbed Nick’s head as he passed by.

"You are so handsome playing the violin, completely different from usual." Zhao Yimu gave him a glass of champagne.

"You're talking like I'm not usually handsome." Nick rolled his eyes at him in protest, his cheeks flushed with excitement, he took a sip of champagne and said, "What were you talking about with Brother Yisheng just now?"

"It's nothing, he said that the guests can come on stage to sing later." Zhao Yimu's gaze stayed on Nick's beautiful neck line and rolling Adam's apple, and he answered absent-mindedly.

"Can you sing? I think you have a nice voice." Nick asked.

"To be honest, my singing voice is really good, but I'm not very good at singing." Zhao Yimu said with a smile.

"Going out of tune?" Nick snickered.

"No, I won't go out of tune." Zhao Yimu tilted his head and thought for a while: "But I can't let go, I don't have any emotion when I sing."

"That's easy, you can let go after drinking two more glasses." Nick smiled.

"It's great that the wedding banquet is such a party," Zhao Yimu looked around and said, "At least the couple can chat with each guest to catch up on the old days."

"Is there no way for ordinary wedding banquets?" Nick was puzzled.

Zhao Yimu thought that his wedding banquet might have [-] tables, he shook his head and smiled wryly, "I don't know, but I think there should be no way for my wedding banquet."

Dangdang, the host on the stage took a triangle and knocked it a few times to attract everyone's attention: "Friends present, let us welcome today's protagonist Chen Yisheng and Liu An to the stage."

Chen Yisheng and Liu An walked onto the stage holding hands, and waved to the friends in the audience. Chen Yisheng picked up the microphone and said, "Thank you everyone for sharing our joy today. I am really happy to see so many friends."

"Two months ago, An An and I completed the visa application in the Netherlands. The weather was sunny and cool. We got up and cooked leisurely. After sharing brunch, we rode bicycles to apply for the visa. The sun was very comfortable, and we could finally bask in the sun. Down."

"I recorded that day with a video and wanted to share it with everyone present. It was a very ordinary and peaceful day, but it was the happiness we got through the stormy seas."

As soon as the words fell, a few large characters appeared on the curtain: the beginning of happiness.

The video was shot by Chen Yisheng holding a video camera. From Liu An's sleeping face in the early morning, he called out his lover's nickname softly. He said: "Damn, don't shoot me, I'm ugly now."

"Why, my An'an is the most handsome." When the director of the mirror said this sentence, the audience screamed.

The picture recorded Liu An talking about how to eat healthy while making breakfast, they were recording the sausages on each other's plates, and there were two bicycles riding one after the other on the road, the sun was so bright that the camera was almost overexposed, and the picture was white It's too fancy to be real.

While waiting at the red light, Chen Yisheng asked Liu An: "How are you feeling now?"

"Very nervous." Liu An looked serious.

"Oh? Why?" Chen Yisheng asked.

"Why do the Dutch ride their bikes so fucking fast, it scares the baby to death." Liu An gritted his teeth.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" Chen Yisheng couldn't stop laughing when he heard it, and a few seconds later he leaned over to kiss Liu An on the face in the big courtyard, and said with a smile, "You follow me to ride, I will keep you safe forever."

At the end of the video, after they received their certificates, Chen Yisheng asked Liu An again: "How do you feel now?"

Liu An looked at the camera, scratched his head and smiled shyly, "Are you telling the truth?"

"nonsense!"

"…hungry"

Obtaining a certificate is just a procedure, but love is in the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

After the video ended, the host picked up the microphone and said, "Today, there are guests who are preparing gifts according to the theme for the two couples, please come to the stage to present gifts in order."

The first person on stage took a DVD, picked up the microphone and asked Chen Yisheng with a wicked smile: "Yisheng, guess what this is?"

"...you...this...couldn't it be?" Chen Yisheng looked at the DVD, his face flushed.

"Haha guessed it? You called me after the college entrance examination that year and asked if I had any G/V to borrow, so I burned a piece of it for you." The man said, "Is the first G/V in your life worth remembering? ?”

Chen Yisheng accepted the DVD with a blushing face, and said with a smile, "I'll review it when I go back tonight."

Zhao Yimu was dumbfounded and turned to Nick, "What kind of theme is this?"

"Memory. The theme is memory." Nick said with a smile, "Guests want to bring a memory related to them as a gift, so I'll be on stage instead."

Nick took the bottle of red wine to the stage and said that Chen Yisheng was kicked out because he came out with his family back then, so he bought a case of red wine and asked Nick to drink away his worries. The two of them drank seven or eight bottles in one night. Suffering from alcoholism, he quickly called Liu An to take Chen Yisheng away, but as soon as they met, the three of them hugged each other and cried loudly when they got emotional.

Afterwards, the guests came to the stage with all kinds of memories, the band’s uniform when they first appeared on stage, the knife given by Chen Yisheng when Liu An passed the chef’s license, the jazz record they both like, each gift tells a story, it turns out that love has gone so long.

"Is there anyone whose gift hasn't been delivered yet?" the host asked

After a while of silence, a voice came from the periphery of the venue: "I, I haven't sent it yet."

"Brother Liang, a busy man, is finally here!" The host laughed teasingly, "Come on, we welcome Lian Jueliang to the stage."

Brother Liang?Zhao Yimu's eyes widened. This is Nick's brother? ?
