Chapter 6 Tribute to Wen Qing

At that time, Wen Qing, Xiao Jingzhou and three other people formed a band together. Because the quality was not bad, there were often performances, but usually they would stay in SOHO as a regular band to sing there.

Thinking about it now, Wen Qing finds it unbelievable that he was actually a drummer at that time.

In fact, when forming a team, he could do anything except the lead singer, because his tone was too soft for rock, so he chose a drum kit that he had never played before.

Several other people were also quite surprised, thinking that with his character, he should choose a keyboard anyway.

He was still young, and Wen Qing didn't think it was okay to fool around with those few people.

At that time, Wen Qing also had waist-length hair, wearing a mask, and his long hands and feet sat in front of the drum set, giving him an unusual aura in peacetime.

Xiao Jingzhou still can't tell what kind of feeling it is.

Anyway, many people have fallen into such a mysterious drummer.

Including Mingjin.

Ming Jin came here through the introduction of someone in the circle, specifically to see the handsome drummer.

When Ming Jin first met Wen Qing...it should be called Xiao An at that time.

When Ming Jin saw Xiao An for the first time, he felt that no matter what kind of evaluation he had, it was too low for this man.

He watched Xiao An sitting in front of a bunch of drums and cymbals, beating along with the music, turning a drumstick in his hand from time to time, stepping on the pedals with the rhythm, bending his body slightly forward, swinging back and forth with the music , the head bit by bit, the high-speed and fast-paced music made the long hair pulsate, and sometimes it swayed directly in the air, and the messy hair whirled with vigor.

Xiao An and his band usually focus on slow rock or jazz, so they are relatively peaceful.

Perhaps because of this, Ming Jin looked at Xiao An who was beating the drums and even felt that there was a kind of peace that did not belong to the current noisy nightclub.

Where did he feel that the sweat-drenched man in black T-shirt in front of him was actually silent?

Later, Ming Jin went to the backcourt to look for him, but when he reached the door, Xiao Jingzhou stopped him.

"Mr. Ming, Xiao An..."

"It's okay, Jingzhou," Xiao An was taking off his T-shirt, lifting the clothes up with both arms, his head protruding from the neckline, and his long hair poured down, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Jingzhou frowned, and removed the hand that was blocking Ming Jin.

Ming Jin smiled at him, and didn't go any further. He turned to look at Xiao An, "Mr. Xiao? You played really well."

Xiao An grinned, showing a mouthful of small white teeth, narrowing his eyes, "Thank you."

Ming Jin nodded with a smile, "It's not just polite words, I'll come when I'm free."

Xiao An said, "Okay."

Then Ming Jin turned and left.

At that time, not only Xiao An, but even Ming Jin didn't expect that they would have so many deep and unclear entanglements.

After Ming Jin left, Xiao Jingzhou asked Xiao An, "How do you let him enter the backcourt?"

Xiao An smiled, "Didn't he also come in?"

"You're just too naive."

Xiao An said, "He's not a bad guy. He was offstage just now, and he looked at me differently from everyone else."

After Xiao An said this, he felt a chill, feeling like a big girl like a flower, afraid of becoming the meat of wolves, tigers and leopards.

This can't be blamed on Xiao An's hypocrisy. Since their band was stationed here, the drummer Xiao An has become a treasure of SOHO. There are not a few people who come to watch him play drums. Of course, there are many secretive people among them. Blocking people in the backcourt made Xiao An very embarrassed every time.

Those people didn't do anything, they just broke into the backcourt, probably wanting to have a close contact with the drummer.

Later, they became vigilant, and the door of the backcourt was basically locked.

This time Xiao Jingzhou hadn't had time to close the door yet, but Ming Jin actually found him.

He just thinks that Xiao An is really a sweet potato, and he can even recruit the prosperous movie star.

Xiao Jingzhou shook his head, he never knew what Xiao An was thinking.

In fact, Xiao An didn't think much about it, he just thought that Ming Jin seemed like a pollution-free healthy food, uh, human.

Xiao An in the Ming Jin period was as simple as a blank sheet of paper. Even after experiencing the hardships of childhood, he still maintained a sincere heart, pure and beautiful.

Ming Jin met Xiao An who was still like a child in the best period of a man.

He doesn't even know love yet.

Maybe it was an impossible relationship from the start.

……

Ming Jin went to SOHO a few times when there was no schedule, and every time she could see Xiao An sweating on the stage.

He didn't like to dance. He looked at the men and women writhing on the dance floor, but he just sat at the bar and looked at Xiao An with a smile from a distance.

Xiao An still wore a mask as always, and when he saw Ming Jin looking at him, he smiled back at him.

Ming Jin couldn't see Xiao An's grinning mouth clearly under the mask, but he could see his smiling eyes.

Xiao An's eyebrows are long and narrow, not as attractive as peach blossom eyes, and the corners of his eyes are even downturned. When he smiles, he looks very gentle. When he smiles, the corners of his eyes are raised, and his entire facial features appear vivid.

Sometimes when Xiao An is not performing, he will come to Ming Jin's side to drink with him.

This SOHO is located at the foot of the emperor, and from time to time there are grand masters and celebrities from the capital to join in the fun, and everyone is not surprised.

Ming Jin is considered to be a relatively large coffee shop, but the number of times he comes here is not too many, and every time he just leans against the bar to drink.

But when did the little drummer hook up with the Ming actor?

In fact, they have nothing to do with each other, at best they can be regarded as friends, or the kind who met by chance, not really close friends.

But there are people who like to make a lot of trouble, especially after that incident.

That day, Mingjin’s new movie was filming in the outskirts of the capital, and when he came back from the movie at night, even though he was tired all day, he still wanted to go to SOHO, because he went to the south to shoot a costume movie, and he didn’t come back for more than two months. .

He misses Xiao An a little bit.

When he walked into SOHO, he saw that Xiao An's band was not singing on the stage, and felt strange.

He was still sitting on the bar counter as usual, the deafening music was roaring with high power, and he heard someone calling him in a trance.

When he turned around, he saw Xiao An's smiling eyes.

"Why are you free to come and play today?" Xiao An put the coat in his hand on the back of the chair, and sat on the bar chair next to him.

Ming Jin hooked the corner of her mouth, "Why, you're not welcome?"

Xiao An said, "How could that be?"

Ming Jin asked him why their band didn't come on stage today, Xiao An pouted and said, their lead singer was late for an appointment today, and he hasn't arrived yet, the manager just gave them a slap in the face.

Ming Jin smiled.

They chatted casually for a while, and the belated lead singer finally arrived with a female ticket, and the rest of the band flirted with him, and then they were ready to go on stage.

Ming Jin glanced at the bar chair Xiao An sat on just now, he forgot to take his coat.

Mingjin didn't expect that the female ticket for the home game was still a "golden ingot" (the nickname of Mingjin's fans). After the band came on stage, she sat down next to him.

The female ticket at home looked at Mingjin for a while, and murmured, "It's really more handsome than on TV..."

Ming Jin looked up at her and smiled, "Thank you."

She probably doesn't have a lot of airs when she sees Ming Jin. Although she doesn't look very talkative, fans are not like picking up a treasure when they see a star, they chatter non-stop.

Mingjin just laughed all the time, and sometimes promised a word or two.

It's not that he treats fans badly, but that the lead singer's female votes always use exclamation sentences or rhetorical questions, and Ming Jin doesn't know how to respond to her.

The female ticket of the lead singer looked at him excitedly, but he watched helplessly as the face of the lead singer on stage turned black little by little.

At the end of their performance was a slow rock with a slightly slower rhythm, and the lead singer roared out the tune of devil rock.

When they finished singing, the lead singer's girl bid farewell to Ming Jin reluctantly. Ming Jin waved his hand. He felt that if the girl was still pestering him, the lead singer would have to jump out from the backcourt and tear himself apart.

He shook his head, drank two more glasses of wine by himself, and was about to leave when he suddenly saw the coat on the back of the chair.

He paused, picked up his coat and walked to the backcourt.

Passing by the noisy dance floor, Ming Jin looked at the jacket in his hand, scratched it with his fingers, and sniffed it in front of his face.

Slightly stained with dry soapy smell.

Ming Jin smiled slightly, his eyes darkened for a moment.

When he came to the backcourt, Xiao Ming was left alone, as if he was rummaging for something.

He was about to go in, when he saw a figure appearing out of nowhere and rushed in first, heading straight for Xiao An.

He froze for a moment, and saw that the man wanted to pounce on Xiao An, Ming Jin yelled and was about to run over, "Hey!"

Xiao An heard the voice, looked at the person rushing over in surprise, and dodged, "Hey, I'm going! What the hell..."

Before he finished speaking, Ming Jin rushed in and kicked the man over.

Xiao An was still watching this sudden scene stupidly, as if he hadn't realized what was going on.

The man got up from the ground and saw two people, covered his face and ran away in a panic.

"Who is it really..." Ming Jin stared at the man's back as he went away.

Xiao An came back to his senses and smiled, "Master Ming is a hero saving the beauty."

After speaking, he felt something strange.

"Almost," Ming Jin also smiled, "The beauty reacted too quickly and saved herself."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Anle's smile, and suddenly asked, "Does this kind of thing happen often?"

"Ah, it's okay," Xiao An almost couldn't keep up with Ming Jin's rapid transformation, "It's only once or twice in total."

Ming Jin's expression changed, and he frowned.

Then he suddenly remembered what he was here for, and gave Xiao An the coat that was still on his arm, "I was looking for this just now."

"So it's at your place." Xiao An took it over, put it on, and went out of the bar with Ming Jin.

Ming Jin insisted on sending Xiao An home, but Xiao An kept saying no, and she was not a little girl, so Ming Jin ignored him.

Ming Jin asked Dakun to drive him to the place, and Ming Jin watched him go in before leaving.

On the way back, Dakun glanced at him through the rearview mirror inside the car, and said, "Mingjin, you've been very peaceful recently, is it because of him?"

Ming Jin was silent.

Dakun took out a cigarette, Ming Jin glared at him, Dakun said, "If you don't smoke, just hold it."

Then he bit his cigarette and continued, "Mingjin, as long as you don't cause any trouble, I don't care how you mess around in your circle, but just don't play it real."

Ming Jin stared closely at Dakun's own eyes in the rearview mirror, and said word by word, "Dakun, I'm just serious, what can you do."

When the green light came on, Dakun looked back to the front, with a warning in his tone, "Mingjin, be smart, don't mess around."
