Return to the Road of God

Domestic city S is empty for thousands of people.

In the ten thousand concert hall in the city center, a grand solo concert is being held.

From the age of 20 to 30, who would have thought that the bar singer who was born in a talent show would go all the way to the present!

Singing, filming, acting in movies, starting a company, setting up his own studio... He continues to maintain a perfect image of an inspirational youth in front of everyone, and finally, at this moment, he has lived up to his reputation as a superstar.

But when his career was at its peak, he suddenly announced that he would leave the entertainment industry and work behind the scenes... This concert is also a farewell thank you party for him to say goodbye to his fans.

On the brightly lit stage, the 30-year-old Jiang Bing exudes an aura that is several times stronger than when he was a fledgling.

"...Thank you for accompanying me all the way here," Jiang Bing said seriously, holding the microphone, "I never talk much on such occasions, because I think my singing is far more convincing than my words...but Now, I find that there are many, many things I want to say to you!"

Applause, screams...

"Many people are asking why I left. Here, I want to tell you the real reason. Ten years ago, I stood on the stage of 'Rising Star' and mentioned a person. I said, it was this People have influenced me and let me embark on the road of singer... Today, I choose to leave because of him."

Shocked, inhale...

"You must be very curious about who he is. In the past ten years, you have never stopped guessing... Some people say that he is my idol, while others say that she is my girlfriend... You are all right, he He is not only the person I admire, but also the person I admire, but at the same time, he is also the person I want to protect for the rest of my life."

Because of Jiang Bing's remarks, the scene was a little out of control. Many girls fans screamed and asked who that person was, and even cried "don't go" with others...

"Don't be sad, what I want you to know is that although I walked this road for him, it is you who have made me Jiang Bing in the past ten years... Although every song I sing is for him. I sang it myself, but you are standing here because you resonate with me, I am very grateful to you... So, when you fail, when you encounter setbacks, think about me more, think about the time when I achieved nothing, Think about when I was still messing around... don't let me see you submit!"

Saying this, more people couldn't help crying.

"I'm afraid I'll make you cry, so that's it...the last song, "To Everyone Who Knows My Name"...will you all sing with me?"

"..." There were very few responses, and everyone was immersed in sadness and couldn't extricate themselves.

"... How are you?" Jiang Bing asked teasingly while holding the microphone, with some helplessness in his tone.

The background music was already playing, some people waved light sticks, some people clapped their hands, but not everyone was willing to say "yes".

The last song, no one wants their idol to sing the last song in front of their eyes.

"Don't be awkward, just sing with me..." Jiang Bing said gently, his magnetic voice echoed in the prelude, as if coaxing a coquettish lover, many people laughed.

But Jiang Bing didn't say hello again, he stood in front of the microphone pole with his guitar in his arms, and began to sing softly.

"Once again, I was submerged in the applause... You are so excited in front of me... In the darkness, the world seems to have stopped turning, and our hearts can hug each other without using both hands..."

Looking at such affectionate Jiang Bing, looking at his handsome face, I remembered how many songs accompanied them through the days and nights.

Ten years, eight albums, nearly one hundred songs, inspired a generation of young people to move forward...

At this moment, no one is untouched.

"If one day, I get lost in the wind and rain... I know that you will heal my wounds and relieve the pain... Maybe our world will be different after all... But I know that you will accompany me in the wind and rain..."

Before they knew it, they began to sway with the rhythm of the music, humming along with Jiang Bing's singing...

"Please wave your hands again for me—! I will know where you are...! See life in a hurry...May we share glory...May our dreams never come true...!"

As always, the explosive power, the power unique to Jiang Bing... is shocking.

"Please dance your hands again for me...! Let us keep our love in our hearts...! Maybe one day... I will be too old to sing or walk... I will also show you the most sincere smile... ..."

I don't know how many people cried, but they still roared with all their strength. The waves of applause and bottle knocking resounded throughout the night sky.

No one will forget this night.

In the next week, entertainment news and newspaper headlines were all about Jiang Bing. The record company struck while the iron was hot and announced that it would release a ten-year selection of Jiang Bing in the near future. This album was also planned long ago. For "karma".

At first, no one knew the meaning of this record, nor did they know what karma meant. It wasn't until the album came out and people saw the words printed on the cover that they suddenly realized it.

The interpretation of the album "karma" is: this life, this moment, at this moment, no regrets.

Turning to the back, fans also found a line printed in tiny gray letters - To my dear artist, Fan.

This discovery caused an instant sensation in the fan base. Everyone was asking who this "Fan" is, and is it the person Jiang Bing mentioned at the concert? She is an artist?Which piece of art?Are you Chinese? ...

After the album was released, Jiang Bing received a text message with only one word in it.

"... Show!" The sender, Fan.

Jiang Bing couldn't hide his smile, and replied, "I can't hold back."

After thinking about it, I added another one: "Who told you to tell me to wait for you for ten years... The twelve words on the cover are my answer, have you seen it?"

Ye Yufan replied: "Next Tuesday, I will go to Xiangshan Cemetery in City A."

"No way, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, are you sure you want to meet me at the cemetery?" Jiang Bing didn't ask him what he was doing at the cemetery.

Ye Yufan: "Yes."

A week later, Ye Yufan came to Xiangshan Cemetery dressed in black and holding a bouquet of lilies.

According to the memory of seven years ago, he found that location. There was no bouquet in his hand, and the place was full of flowers. From a distance, it looked like a circle of flower gardens.

The stele was hidden under the flowers, and there was a pair of elegiac couplets on the side, which read "the gods are always there in the writing, and the ingenious writing is undefeated". These are the words Bai Changqing inscribed for Xia Xiaochuan.

Ye Yufan gently placed the flowers in front of the tombstone, and looked at the tablet...

When I came last time, there was only one person's name on the stele, but now, another person was added out of thin air. At the bottom right of the three big characters "Xia Xiaochuan", at some time, "Bai Changqing" was engraved, and there was another person on the bottom. There is the word "joint tomb".

"Xiaochuan..." Ye Yufan paused, "Changqing, I'm here to see you."

Surrounded by silence, Ye Yufan sighed softly... After talking about many things that happened in the past seven years, he no longer knows whether Xia Xiaochuan still exists in his body.

"You all sleep well..."

"Thank you for appearing in my memory..."

……

Jiang Bing wore goggles, drove a sports car, and galloped all the way on the wide road.

The hot discussion about him on the Internet is still going on, but what surprised Jiang Bing even more than meeting Ye Yufan at the cemetery was a phone call from his manager.

The agent told him that an hour ago, a painting suddenly started to be reprinted frantically on the Internet.At this moment, Weibo, WeChat and other online interactive platforms are extremely developed. In just a short time, the number of reposts of this painting has reached tens of thousands, which has attracted the attention of major official media.

On the picture of that painting, there is a man singing on the stage, with a dark background, a wide stage, crowds of people below, separated by a colorful waving gang, it is not difficult to judge that this is the scene of a concert.

But what is quite meaningful is the figure of the man on the stage. He is holding the microphone, his feet are spread apart, and his upper body is slightly leaning back. Jiang Bing's signature pose!

This painting is not from a certain fan of Jiang Bing, nor is it a passerby, but it is a world-renowned artist - safale!

The art world is going crazy, the entertainment industry is going crazy, all safale supporters and Jiang Bing fans are going crazy... No one would believe that safale would paint this kind of painting!

Many people are saying that it must be a coincidence that the painting looks so similar to Jiang Bing, and some say that it is a fake picture made by fans. However, the netizen who first posted on Weibo still attached the website of Paris Art Network in the blog post, just click on it and you will be able to Seeing that this painting is placed in the most prominent position on the official website!

Of course, Paris Art Net was not hacked. This painting was indeed provided by safale, and safale also clearly stated that this painting is for "submission".

After two days of identity verification, the editorial team of the website was too excited to say anything, and they released the painting to the public as quickly as possible...

Because, on this painting, there is also the inscription of safale himself: "monchéri..." means, my dear...

What does this mean, needless to say.That's right, a great artist is announcing his love affair to the world - the man on the screen is his dear lover!

People from France sent congratulatory messages, and there was only one word right above the large painting on the website, still in bold—felicitations! (……congratulations.)

Interested people hurriedly searched the information of safale on the Internet, and learned that he became famous ten years ago when he was named "karma" by Chris Fionn, and everything seemed to be verified...

All the details before and after, there is nothing unreasonable.

……

Jiang Bing parked the car on the side of the road slowly, searched for the painting on his mobile phone, and quickly sent a message to Ye Yufan: "You came that day!?"

"Well, I feel very shocked." Ye Yufan held the phone and smiled slightly, remembering that he was among a group of young people that day, singing along with them, his heart beating faster together, and shouting together...

Adding up the two lives, he is almost "60 years old", but he didn't expect that he would be affected by this kind of passion one day.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance!" The car door opened, and a pair of long legs stretched out from inside.

"It's not too late to tell you now." After being lonely for so many years, it feels pretty good to play young people's romance once in a while...

Xia Xiaochuan, don't you think so?

"..." Jiang Bing leaned handsomely against the car door, saw his sweetheart coming down the mountain from a distance, and couldn't help shouting: "Ye Yufan!"

Ye Yufan walked slowly step by step. He was dressed in black against his snow-white face, and his chin was pointed again. He didn't know if he was tired or hungry.

Jiang Bing's memory seemed to go back to the autumn when he was 17 years old. He saw Ye Yufan, the young man with his hands in his pockets, so thin that he seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, wandering by the river with blurred eyes...

He rushed forward with a stride, and pulled the man tightly into his arms.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yufan was a little uncomfortable being strangled by him.

"It's nothing," Jiang Bing hugged him, sweetly said, "I miss you."

Ye Yufan smiled and patted the back of his head...

Jiang Bing let go of him and raised his eyebrows: "It's like petting a dog!"

Ye Yufan: "..."

Jiang Bing took his hand and led him down the mountain, saying, "Okay, you will be mine from now on."

Ye Yufan said in his heart, since you picked me up when you were 15 years old, I have been yours.

The author has something to say: "Postscript"

Thank you all for being here!At this moment, I just want to say one thing... It's finally finished! !

This is the longest article I have written so far, and it is also the article that takes the longest and consumes my patience the most.

It's [-] in the morning and I have mixed feelings...so much to say but don't know where to start...

I have wanted to write about an artist with a split personality for a long time, and I finally realized my wish in this story, but at first this story was not called "The Way of Returning to Boys", but "The Artist Who Counterattacked" (due to the bad data in the early serialization articles) However, I still feel that the original name is more appropriate to the meaning of the article, so I will consider whether to requisition the original name when I publish my personal blog.

The reason why I chose the theme of "art" is out of my own regrets - I wanted to learn art when I was young, but I couldn't take this path.I am not an art student, and the way of writing "art" in the story is also my own understanding. If there is any mistake, please point it out :)

In order to make the story feel confusing, the truth of the ending was not set from the beginning, but to follow the protagonist's feeling all the way, and analyze what is going on from everyone's perspective.So this article is also written by constantly revising the outline, and even the choice of cp is vague and uncertain according to the protagonist's feelings at every moment.The interesting thing about writing this way is that I am a bystander myself. Every time I have a new feeling or a discovery of a turning point, I scream excitedly, and sometimes I scratch my head and cheeks in pain because of confusion. I don’t even know how many times I’ve done fine points…However, there are also great disadvantages in doing so. The most important one is that it is not rigorous enough, and the end of being casual is ignoring the logic that the story itself should have.

When writing this article, I have experienced several interruptions, and I am really ashamed to mention it.At the beginning, many people thought I was cheating, and some readers thought that the CP was controversial and abandoned the article... No, am I that kind of irresponsible author! (...was kicked away) It was really because the three-dimensional element was too busy and had no time to take care of both sides, so it had to be interrupted.

To be honest, breaking updates has a great impact on writing. Every time I come back, it takes a long time to read and recall the previous article to find the feeling. It is very painful, but fortunately, your support made me persevere until the end.

Presumably, some readers will worry about the unfinished ending considering the situation of my suspension of the update, especially the story is worried about the description of "ten years later", please rest assured.Because of this story, what I mainly want to write is the process of the protagonist’s search for himself. When Ye Yufan recalls everything, the story is almost finished. Although the explanations later are also necessary, from the overall story, there is no need for them Pen and ink, as for some extras that readers care about, since they are not suitable for publication, they will be added to the personal journal and given away with the book.

During the serialization process, many things happened that I remember deeply.For example, some readers were negative because they were dissatisfied with cp, which made me feel helpless and sad because of being misunderstood. Through this incident, I became much stronger psychologically; halfway through the writing, a publisher asked about publishing intentions, but died prematurely because of the severe crackdown, which made me feel regretful , but to a certain extent, I am also happy and recognized for my strength; after I came back from the update, there were readers who continued to follow the article and supported me, which made me very encouraged and felt guilty; during the writing process, I had countless empathy The situation where the protagonist is, struggling because of their struggles, confused because of their confusion, and finally seems to have vaguely found an answer that satisfies me... In short, I am grateful for the thinking and growth that this story has brought me.

In addition to the "love" of the protagonists, what I want to convey to the readers through the story is of course "thinking".

If someone asks you, do you have a dream?What is your aspiration?How would you answer that?

"Dream" is a word that appears repeatedly in my story, because I also asked myself questions about dreams repeatedly during my growing up, and I have different answers to it at each stage.

If it has touched you in the slightest and made you rethink the world and your own life, then the existence of this story is meaningful.

Many people may think that the protagonists have such thoughts at such a young age... This is unscientific!But I think the opposite is true, the younger you are, the more everything is possible.I have seen a saying before: The three years of an adult are different from the three years of a child.For adults, three years just pass by in a flash; but for children, three years is like a lifetime. They can devote far more energy and enthusiasm than adults. On the road of chasing their dreams, they Never tired, just like Ye Yufan, just like Jiang Bing, three years is enough to change a life.

I don't quite agree with words like "it's never too late to start".Because of the different state of mind, many things will not be done when you get older... So, if you are still young, if you still have something you want to do, then do it!

By the way, I would like to say a few words to all readers who study art here: no matter how bad your grades in culture are, did you choose this path out of desperation, no matter whether you have talent in this area—art , is an extremely beautiful field.In the future, you will also be one of the few people who can express your thoughts through creation. May you cherish what you have learned, and may you love this world.

Well, I’ve already said a lot, and some people must be impatient to see this...

The last sentence is still to thank you, thank you for your company and support, love you =3=!
