song for the city

If anyone in the world really shines like a star, then Xiang Pei who is singing on the stage is definitely that.

The first song, sung by Xiang Pei in English, is a song by Queen, which Liang Zhang heard on Xiang Pei's MP3 on the train.

"Love of my life can't you see?"

"Bring it back bring to back"

Compared with the original song, Xiang Pei's voice is greener and clearer, full of a different emotion.Even the English lyrics can let everyone taste the power of life.Under the dim light, Xiang Pei seemed to have turned into a tree that would never fall in the rain, singing to the water drops and growing quietly.

There was a strange feeling in Liang Zhang's body. It seemed that only Xiang Pei's singing was left in his ears, and Xiang Pei's slightly drunk eyes were left in his eyes. There was nothing in his pupils, and he only looked at the nothingness in front of him.

His long hair was not tied up, but fell loosely on his shoulders, slightly curled, and occasionally floated to his mouth when he sang, faintly between his lips.

"Next, I want to bring you an original song by our band—"Roots."

The sound of the guitar sounded first, followed by the fierce drumming, and the sound of metal collided together.

When Chen Zhaonan played the drums, he no longer acted foolishly. Chu Ranfei's expression was flying confidently amidst the sound of the guitar. The music transformed everyone on stage.

Finally, Xiang Pei's singing voice was integrated into the accompaniment of the instrument. This song made his voice slightly hoarse, with a gentle and lyrical style.The band-aids and white gauze on Pei's forehead seemed to be magnified in Liang Zhang's eyes, creating a sense of sacred solemnity.

After the band sang three songs, they left the stage to take a break. A table of female guests sitting in front seemed to be regular customers, arguing that they hadn't heard enough and wanted to play a few more songs with Pei and the others.You Jing held the bass and told them to ask the band to go up again later.

Chen Zhaonan ran over in a hurry, as if he was completely different from the drumming just now, his goal was the most beautiful girl on the table.

He leaned over and said something in the girl's ear, and then the girl trembled with laughter, raised her hand and patted his shoulder softly.

You Jing was blinded by the flirting and scolding, shook his head and walked back to the bar.

Xiang Pei followed behind him, walking out of the red carpet from the distance between the table and the bar abruptly, attracting the attention of many people, and several of them greeted him eagerly.

He's pretty good at playing handsome, Liang Zhang thought to himself.

"Are you Xiao Pei's friend?"

"Ah."

You Jing leaned over, leaned on the bar with his left elbow, and took out a cigarette with his right hand. When the flames were about to touch the end of the cigarette, he thought of Liang Zhang again, and turned to ask him, "Do you mind?"

Liang Zhang shook his head to express that he didn't mind, and You Jing lighted his cigarette with confidence.

You Jing was wearing a black loose vest. His skin was dark, blending in with the dark color of the bar. He had a series of colorful tattoos on his arms.

Liang Zhang, who was sitting next to him, felt apprehensive, and secretly moved a little to the side.

It wasn't until Xiang Pei walked in front of them that Liang Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiang Pei tied up her long hair with the rubber band on her wrist, and twisted her fingers back and forth.

Liang Zhang took a sip of the juice, but he drank a cloud of air. Looking down, he only saw the ice cubes in the glass that were almost melting.

Coming out of the bar, Liang Zhang asked why Xiang Pei's band was called "Stowaways."

He held back the question all night, so he wanted to ask Pei alone.

With his hands in his pockets, Xiang Pei walked slowly along the path of the pavement, saying, "Sometimes I feel that I don't belong to this city. There is no home for me in such a big place."

Countless people flocked into Day City every day, among them there were many outstanding people, some were lucky enough to make a name for themselves, but most of them were people who were beaten to death or unknown.There are quite a few people like Liang Zhang, who broke into this place without hesitation with enthusiasm, and many people don't even have a safe haven called "home" behind them.

Xiang Pei grew up at the bottom of Day City, and he thought that one day he would bury his roots there so that no one could move his place.

He simply built a band in this soil, as the root.Playing with something he loves makes him feel alive, a teenager, and a future.

At first, Xiang Pei sang alone in the bar, and met Chen Zhaonan through Youjing. He had known Xin Yu and Chu Ranfei for a long time, but they were added later.Several unreliable children in the eyes of adults joined together to form the "stowe".Xiang Pei wrote the lyrics, Chen Zhaonan composed the music, and the band gradually had a few original songs, but they haven't met Bole yet.

Liang Zhang always felt that there were too many stories about Xiang Pei, which were beyond the scope of his age.No matter from his character or lyrics, there are traces to follow.

He was born in Day City, but he said that there is no family for him here.Liang Zhang never heard his parents mentioned to Pei, it seems that he has no relatives in Day City.

"Actually, I'm quite envious of you." Liang Zhang said, stepping on the dirt on the side of the road.

Xiang Pei asked incredulously: "Envy me?"

"I never knew the taste of freedom since I was a child. Running away to Day City alone is the craziest decision I have ever made."

Said to Pei: "You dare to come here alone, you are crazier than many people."

"But I can't stay here forever."

"How do you plan to get along with your parents when you go back?" Xiang Pei asked.

Liang Zhang lowered his head and said slowly: "My father is a doctor, and my mother is a lawyer. They are all excellent people in this society, and they take it for granted that their children should also be the best people in the world. They forced me to Taking the first place in the exam forced me to learn piano and painting, and all my time and breath were taken away, so that I often wondered—why am I alive?”

"I'm not a genius, I'm not born to be smart and learn well. My number one is that I have to work thousands of times and tens of thousands of times more than others to maintain it. Occasionally I fail, but that doesn't just prove that I am a person. Instead of a machine?"

Liang Zhang was almost suffocated by these things in the past, but now that he mentioned it to Pei, there was no disturbance in his heart, perhaps because he was far away from Nanchuan.

"I don't know how I'm going to get along with them when I go back, especially after I've experienced freedom."

After listening to Pei without saying a word, he stopped suddenly and stared at Liang Zhang in the shadow of the street lamp: "Liang Zhang, you seem to be different from what I imagined."

Liang Zhang asked, "What's the difference?"

"Be braver."

For some reason, these words came out of Xiang Pei's mouth, just like the feeling that Liang Zhang's favorite teacher once praised him, which made him very happy and vowed to keep working hard.

"To Pei."

"Ok?"

"You look very good-looking."

Xiang Pei laughed, and said a little speechlessly: "Don't you think it's a bit strange for men to praise men for their good looks?"

"What's the matter! You praised me, and I have to praise it back."

He said as if Xiang Pei was useless except being handsome, he shook his head and continued to walk forward with the heat wave.

"In the future, if I really become a great director, how about asking you to make a movie?"

Xiang Pei refused without thinking: "No, I don't act in movies, I only sing."

Liang Zhang kept chanting into Pei's ear, making noise like a sparrow.

"Think about it, I will definitely make you more handsome than Tony Leung!"

Xiang Pei said with a cold face, "That depends on how much you pay, Director Liang."

This address made Liang Zhang happy, his face was full of spring, and he pestered Xiang Pei to call him a few more times, so that he could get over his ear craving.

"Fool."

Undoubtedly, Liang Zhang only gave Pei a blank stare in return.

Ah Cheng's band was still singing in front of the hotel where Liang Zhang stayed last time. Today, his style is still very heavy metal, shaking the whole street very hot.

"I saw them last time when I lived here." The two stopped in front of the band, Liang Zhang said.

"Brother Acheng is basically here every night."

Liang Zhang was surprised and said, "You know him?"

But thinking about it, it's not surprising that they know each other. It's a little strange that they don't know each other because they all work on this street.

"Well, the reason why Brother A Cheng sings here is to accompany his girlfriend."

Hearing Acheng's girlfriend mentioned to Pei, Liang Zhang felt a little awkward for a moment: "Is his girlfriend called Nana?"

Xiang Pei's gaze shifted from Ah Cheng to Liang Zhang, darkly surprised: "How do you know?"

In order to cause unnecessary misunderstanding, Liang Zhang thought he had to explain clearly.As soon as the sound came out of the throat, it was interrupted by Nana's voice.

"Xiao Pei! Come to see your brother Cheng?"

The voice was so distinctive that even Liang Zhanghan came out, and reluctantly turned to Pei.

"Sister Na." Xiang Pei called out, his tone was very natural, as if he was greeting a very ordinary girl.

Nana saw Liang Zhang next to Xiang Pei, her eyes widened: "Oh, little brother, we are so destined!" She looked at Pei, "I didn't expect you to be Xiao Pei's friend."

It's really fate.Liang Zhang greeted Nana with an awkward smile, and at the same time noticed Pei Qianqian's eyes.

Xiang Pei asked curiously, "How do you know each other?"

Nana took the lead and said, "Last time I saw he was very handsome, and he started to strike up a conversation. But your friend is very vigilant, and I don't even know his name yet."

Liang Zhang hurriedly said, "My name is Liang Zhang."

Nana bent her eyes and joked with Xiang Pei: "Your friend is really sincere."

Nana stood on the road and greeted Xiang Pei for a while, saw the injury on his hand, and went to the store to get a bottle of medicine for Xiang Pei, saying that the medicine was very effective, and sometimes she would be beaten by some excessive customers. After applying this lotion, it will be cured immediately.

When she said this, she didn't blink her eyes, and she still had a smile on her face, which made people feel that she was not talking about herself just now.

Liang Zhang felt sour after hearing this, and turned his face away, not wanting to continue listening.

Xiang Pei said: "Sister, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, please call the police."

Nana said as if she had heard some big joke, "Xiao Pei, have you forgotten what I do? Even if I die on the street someday..."

Xiang Pei interrupted her sharply: "Sister! What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Oh, my sister really doesn't hurt your brother. Don't worry, your city brother has basically been half a dead time."

After Nana finished speaking, she saw business coming to the store, so she said goodbye to Xiang Pei, and asked Xiang Pei to come to their house for dinner when she was free. Ah Cheng wrote a few songs, but was worried that no one would share them.

At the end, she looked at Liang Zhang: "This little brother can come if you don't mind."

Liang Zhang nodded, as if he was not as resistant as before.

On the way back, Liang Zhang stabilized a lot on his bicycle, and Xiang Pei reluctantly stopped worrying.

Riding like this on a summer night can also bring a little wind.Xiang Pei was sitting in the back seat, Liang Zhang's clothes were blown up by the wind and hit him in the face.

The young man smelled of refreshing washing powder, which was faint, not strong, and very soft, which reminded Xiang Pei of the leaves after the rain, which were all spotless.

"You said your hands were injured, why are you still carrying the guitar?"

Liang Zhang's voice was mixed with the wind and sounded far away.

"I'm used to it." Xiang Pei replied.

People often say that it only takes 21 days to form a habit, and Xiang Pei wandering around the city with a guitar on his back has already exceeded 21 days.

After returning home, Liang Zhang changed Xiang Pei's medicine to the bottle of medicine Nana gave him.

Fortunately, the wound only hurt the flesh, not the bone, and the disinfection was timely yesterday, so it didn't look like a serious problem.

It's just that it's troublesome not to touch the water, and Xiang Pei loves to be clean. In summer, people sweat when they move, so they have to take a bath every day.

Liang Zhang asked if he needed his help, and Xiang Pei felt that they were not too familiar after all, so he refused, but he paid too much attention to his hands, and fell into the mud in the bathroom.

Hearing a loud noise from the bathroom, Liang Zhang jumped up from the bed before he could put on his slippers, opened the door and saw Xiang Pei's handsome face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, lying motionless on the ground with his head on the ground.

Liang Zhang was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out. He thought that Xiang Pei was unconscious from the fall, and he didn't care that Xiang Pei's lower body was still naked. Nurse lifts him up, resting his back against the wall.

The bathroom was so small that two 1.8-meter boys could hardly walk in it. Liang Zhang inevitably had to be in close contact with Xiang Pei's body, and his knee almost touched Xiang Pei's thigh.

In addition, he inevitably saw some indescribable parts of Xiang Pei, but he only took one look and then looked away.

And thought angrily: Damn, not only is he handsome, but he also has a good figure... Also, at such a young age, you should not underestimate that thing.

Liang Zhang's face was flushed, his heart was almost out of his control, he could hear the beating sound clearly, and worried that Xiang Pei could hear it too.

It's really strange, when he saw Lai Yu's thing, he never felt anything, his face was not red and his heart was beating.Why did he look at Pei with an indescribably weird feeling?

What's worse, Xiang Pei opened his eyes.

His voice was hoarse, his brows were furrowed, and he hadn't recovered from the pain, so he asked in a daze, "Why did you come in?"

The heat from talking to Pei sprayed all over Liang Zhang's arms, causing him to tremble layer after layer.

Liang Zhang was thankful that the bathroom was foggy enough to cover up his stupidity, but he forgot that the sound could not deceive anyone.

"I...I'll...help you take a bath."

He opened his mouth to speak, only to realize that his voice was stammering and trembling. It was really embarrassing, and he wished he could dig through the cracks in the wall and sneak in, never looking back.
