song for the city

On the night he came back from the temple, Liang Zhang had complete insomnia. He wondered if he fell asleep on the way back. He closed his eyes for half an hour and opened them again, but he was still sleepless.Unable to fall asleep for a long time, no matter how hard you try, it will be of no avail. The body is complaining, but the spirit is trying its best to prevent drowsiness.

The weather was sultry and he couldn't sleep anyway, so Liang Zhang simply got up from the bed and went outside to drink water.

The living room was dimly lit, and there was no sound. Liang Zhang walked on tiptoe, and turned on the dimmest desk lamp carefully, slowly, so as not to wake Xiang Pei up.Fortunately, the door of Xiang Pei's room was closed. He was a light sleeper and used to close the door when he slept.But Liang Zhang was still worried, holding his breath, instinctively not wanting Xiang Pei to find out that he was insomnia and preoccupied.

After drinking a glass of ice water, his whole body became transparent. Liang Zhang's mushy mind instantly cleared up, as if the two parts of his head were directly separated, and someone stuffed ice cubes into his head.

It made him more aware that he was losing sleep and why.

Liang Zhang remembered that he used to help Lai Yu chase the girl in the next class. Lai Yu chased her for almost half a month. During this period, the two had been ambiguous. In the end, the girl said "I have someone I like" and sent Lai Yu away. After that, Lai Yu fell into a slump and went to class with dark circles all day long.

At that time, Lai Yu's loss was vivid in his memory. What Liang Zhang experienced now was completely different from what Lai Yu experienced, but what he felt was just like Lai Yu's mood at that time.

Went to his.

Liang Zhang anxiously wanted to brush the hair on his forehead, but he only touched the flat forehead before realizing that he had no hair to stroke.

The hand fell back to the outside of the thigh, the palm of the hand became hotter and hotter, full of sweat, and the last drop of water in the cup was sucked away by the tip of the tongue.Liang Zhang leaned on the table, with his hands propped against the smooth surface, the night wind came out from the small gap in the window, barely driving away a little heat, and the wind poured into Liang Zhang's loose sports shorts.

Before getting out of the car today, Liang Zhang noticed for the first time that there was a photo in Chen Zhaonan's car, which was hung on the rearview mirror inside the car, made into a pendant, rising and falling with the bumps of the road.

Liang Zhang was curious, so he asked casually, and Chen Zhaonan took it off and showed it to him.

It was a group photo of the Stowaway band, plus a tour.

In the photo, the school uniforms worn by Xiang Pei, Xin Yu and Chu Ranfei were taken when they were in junior high school, and Chen Zhaonan and You Jing were only in high school.Xiang Pei didn't have long hair at that time, it was very short, with bangs hanging loosely on his forehead. The school uniform was wider on him, but the trousers were a bit short. He rarely looked cute, and his face was even more immature.Liang Zhang was fascinated, as if he had touched the old Xiang Pei through time and space.

Xin Yu still had long hair back then, with a long ponytail and thick bangs, but her strange eyes remained unchanged.

Instead of looking at the camera, she squinted her eyes and looked sideways at Pei. Xiang Pei put his hand on her shoulder and made a "yeah" gesture with a smile on her lips.

Xiang Pei's smile is beautiful, giving people a sense of comfort when the spring breeze is blowing on his face. Although he doesn't like to smile, as long as he smiles, all other people and things will become dull, at least Liang Zhang thinks so.

But the strange thing is that Xiang Pei's smile on the photo made Liang Zhang feel extremely dazzling, and he automatically ignored the other three people in the photo, as if this was a solo photo of Xiang Pei and Xin Yu.

Xin Yu is often unscrupulous in front of Xiang Pei, which is the expression of a girl's youthfulness.She likes Xiang Pei, which cannot be more obvious. Why did Liang Zhang ignore it before.

As for Xiang Pei, with such a lovely girl by his side, it's hard for him not to be tempted.

Ever since he knew that Xin Yu liked Xiang Pei, Liang Zhang was quite afraid of meeting Xin Yu in the bar. He didn't want to see Xin Yu and Xiang Pei standing together, and his chest felt tight when he thought of it, and he didn't want to see her standing there when the band was performing. The closest location to Xiang Pei.

Liang Zhang was bored, and he couldn't find anyone to talk to. Lai Yu was thousands of miles away from him, and he didn't understand this matter himself, let alone how to tell others.

Fortunately, Xin Yu didn't come to "every night" for several days in a row, Liang Zhang felt relieved and strange at the same time.

I still remember the first time he came to "Every Night", and Xin Yu didn't come for a few days, it seemed that she had something to do with her family, but it was too long.

On the night of the third day, Chu Ranfei walked in from the outside with a panicked expression. He didn't even remember Bei Si. He first walked around the bar, as if he was looking for someone, and finally found Xiang Pei at the side of the bar, and said, "Xin Is Yu still not here?"

Sensing something was wrong, Xiang Pei asked, "Didn't she say she couldn't come these days? What's the matter?"

Chu Ranfei scratched her hair angrily: "I couldn't reach her, and I didn't answer the phone. When I went to her house, only her mother was there, and my aunt said that Xin Yu was not at home."

"Uncle Xin isn't there either?"

"Well, their supermarkets are not open."

In the band, Xin Yu and Chu Ranfei walked the closest, and even he couldn't get in touch with Xin Yu, and the others certainly couldn't get in touch.Xiang Pei's expression became serious in an instant, and even Liang Zhang was also worried. After all, it is very dangerous for a girl to disappear for a few days, and no one can predict what will happen to her.

"How is her mother?" Xiang Pei asked Chu Ranfei.

Chu Ranfei shook his head, hesitantly said: "I don't feel very good... mainly because Uncle Xin is not here."

"Did Auntie say anything?"

"Anyway, I said I was looking for Xin Yu, and she said that Xin Yu had just left the house, but I couldn't find her no matter what."

You Jing suggested to call the police first, and it is always more reliable to let the police find it than they are in a hurry here.Xiang Pei thought for a while, and said, "It won't make too much noise by calling the police. I think Xin Yu is at her home."

His tone was quite firm, and Liang Zhang asked Chu Ranfei one step ahead: "How do you know?"

"If Xin Yu disappears, her mother will definitely go to the police station to make trouble for a few days and nights." Xiang Pei glanced at Chu Ranfei, "And Uncle Xin is not at home, so she calmly told you that Xin Yu was not at home either." At home, do you think this is reasonable?"

Liang Zhang didn't think there was anything unreasonable, but Chu Ranfei's face began to darken.

"Damn! I'm confused!" Chu Ranfei clenched his hands into fists and smashed his head, "Then what should we do now?"

"Go to Xin Yu's house, she is probably locked up." Xiang Pei replied with an expression of knowingly asking, and hurried out the door with Chu Ranfei.

Xiang Pei walked in a hurry, Liang Zhang called him before he left, probably he didn't hear it, originally Liang Zhang wanted to come out from behind the bar, but without taking a step, Xiang Pei's figure flashed past , leaving no trace.

Liang Zhang stared melancholy at the direction where Pei left, and the sense of loss surged up again, as if all the strength in his body had been taken away, leaving him feeling empty and uncomfortably empty.Even though he knew that Xiang Pei had to go, his anxious expression just now magnified countless times in Liang Zhang's eyes, and it seemed that among all the people, only Xiang Pei knew Xin Yu's situation best and could tell her situation immediately.If you don't get along with each other over the years, you shouldn't be able to reach this level.

Seeing Liang Zhang's soul coming out of his body, You Jing wiped the cup mechanically in his hand, and he might rub sparks out of the cup as he wiped it.You Jing touched his thumb and index finger, snapped his fingers in front of Liang Zhang, and said, "Xin Yu is Xiao Pei's very important friend."

He deliberately emphasized the word "friend", as if he was vaguely reminding Liang Zhang of something.Liang Zhang felt a kind of embarrassment that pierced his mind. He avoided looking at You Jing, which was like a lamp on the road in the middle of the night, illuminating everything visible, even his heart.

Liang Zhang relaxed his tense body, and said jokingly: "Aren't they just friends?"

He thought that this was his most relaxed tone, and he would not show You Jing any clues.

"'Stowaway' was established a year ago. At that time, I thought it was just a few kids fooling around, and then Chen Zhaonan followed suit. Xiang Pei's musical talent is indeed very high, but he has not received systematic training and still lacks some professionalism. Not to mention Xin Yu and Ran Fei, the only professional in it is Chen Zhaonan, unfortunately he is a second-hand guy.”

The tourist lit a cigarette, and looked at Chen Zhaonan who was sitting not far away in the smog.Liang Zhang noticed that You Jing looked at Chen Zhaonan with more than one emotion. Although it was hurting him, it was not really hurting.

"I didn't expect them to write a few songs through bumps and bumps. They are decent. Being in a band is actually quite addictive. Others may not understand it and think it is rebellious. But in fact, the people in the band have been together for a long time. In the end, you will really get married. This special emotion is incomparable. You may think that Xiao Pei is like a two hundred and five a day, but in fact he is the one who values ​​the most friendship among us. He has no family. , we are considered half of his family."

Xiang Pei takes many things lightly, such as life.He doesn't need others to treat him well, but if someone gives him a little warmth, he will silently give more. Maybe you can't easily detect it, but there are always traces to follow.

"But Ran Fei and the others will have to take college entrance examinations in another year. There is actually no future if this continues. I certainly hope that Xiao Pei can continue to go back to study, but he always feels that his life is very bad, there is no hope, and he has to live in an uncertain future. Find a place to stay."

You Jing talked to Liang Zhang a lot, and Liang Zhang understood it. He just wanted to say that Xin Yu was like a family member to Xiang Pei, and they were the same as You Jing. emotion.

"Brother Jing, why are you telling me this?"

"Xiao Zhang, sometimes it's important to see yourself clearly."

Liang Zhang clenched his hands, his body was almost trembling, the answer in his heart was about to burst out of his body, but he lost the courage to look at himself clearly, he did everything with brute force and impulsiveness, this time it was different, no? It can be resolved with impulse.

He hesitated to speak, and bit his lower lip helplessly, leaving a clear pain.

You Jing touched Liang Zhang's head with a smile, and said, "Take your time, there must be a process."

Liang Zhang raised his head slowly, looked into You Jing's eyes, and saw the comforting emotions inside, which seemed to represent silent comfort, and his trembling body gradually relaxed.
