Excellent

This bar has a variety of styles. The lively midnight specials are only set on Wednesdays and weekends, and usually only light music is played.However, microphones and on-demand software, as well as equipment such as stereos and players are prepared on the stage for guests who come to entertain to sing and amuse themselves.Although this box is independent, the sound insulation facilities are not very good, so the sound of music outside will come through from time to time.

Qin Xi stood up and walked out of the box, leaning against the railing and looking down at the stage.

In the corner of the stage, there was a boy holding a microphone and singing along with the soft music.His voice was deep and sweet.

It was a Korean song called "Thetruthuntold".

-- this is my destiny

please don't give me a smile don't give me hope

because i can't get close to you

I don't have a name for you to call

You know I can't show you all of me

I can't let you see my shabby appearance

So I had no choice but to continue to wear a mask to see you

but i still want to see you

……

Qin Xi is very familiar with this song.

Deep in his memory, the tune that made him want to cry still made his heart tremble.

That was the first time he experienced the despair of life after the death of his parents.The scenery is gone, and life has become so difficult.The closest people around him are so far away, and the road that was originally smooth sailing has been covered with thorns since then, stabbing him bloody.However, he didn't want to give up.

Because if he gives up, he will die.

What made him grit his teeth and survive?

Putting a hand on his shoulder, Cheng Hao's gentle voice rang in his ear: "Do you still remember this song?"

Qin Xi closed his eyes: "How could you forget?"

Cheng Hao leaned his back on the railing and looked at him, and said softly: "You have played enough, come back, it's time to end the game with him."

"Game? Do you think I'm just playing a game with him?"

Qin Xi looked at him in disbelief.

"Have you forgotten your goal? Think about it, what do you really want! With him, he can't give you a future at all. If his parents find out, you and him will be finished! He is from the family The heir is also the only son, so it is impossible for him to be with you. You know this very well!"

"I know! Stop talking!"

Qin Xi covered his face with his hands, frowned, and sighed long: "I know what I should do. Maybe his liking for me is just a temporary curiosity. After a long time, maybe it will fade away. But, I really don't want to just leave like this. Even if I stay with him for one more day, I'm willing to wait until he gives up on his own initiative."

Cheng Hao gritted his teeth, grabbed his arm, and roared bitterly: "Are you stupid? Once a person like you is invested in feelings, he will be 100% deeply involved. If he ends up in the end With this relationship, your life will be worse than death!"

Qin Xi did not deny it.He knew that he was indeed such a person.

Once it falls, it will be very hurt.However, if he lets go now, Mu Tian will be injured.Rather than break that heart, let him bear all the pain.Anyway, he had already been beaten to pieces by Ling Chi, and he didn't mind being stabbed a few more times.

Seeing that he was silent, Cheng Hao knew that his persistence would not change easily.

If it is not determined, this guy will have a very bright future.However, it was this extraordinary tenacity that really caught his attention, didn't it?

Cheng Hao snorted self-deprecatingly.

He was a fool himself.No matter how humble the love is, it is love, even if there is a slight chance, he wants to try again.

"Stay with me and let me take care of you for the rest of your life. You don't have to worry about anything. After you graduate, we will register for marriage. Only then can I give you the future, as long as you want, I can give you everything you want .”

Qin Xi looked at him, light and shadow intertwined in his eyes, and his eyes wandered far away.

For the rest of my life?He just wants to spend time with the gray hair, although the hope is slim...

"Thank you, brother Hao. You are my most trusted friend. I treat you as a family member and my elder brother. It was like this before, and it will always be like this in the future.

Although he knew his answer a long time ago, Cheng Hao's heart still hurts involuntarily.He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh without realizing it.

"Brother? Then you missed a good marriage."

With a few smirks, Cheng Hao weakly concealed his sadness.

Qin Xi stretched out his arms and hugged him gently: "I'm the one who is unlucky. Happy birthday, Brother Hao!"

After speaking, he let go of his hand, looked at the boy on the stage who had sung to the end and said, "I want to sing too. Brother Hao, you've never heard me sing, have you?"

Cheng Hao raised his eyebrows: "What are you singing? Happy birthday to you?"

Qin Xi pursed his lips and smiled, and walked towards the stairs.

On the stage, he searched for the software for ordering songs, and then pressed the play button.Light jazz dance music came from the stereo, and then he picked up the microphone and hummed.

Like the one just now, it is also a Korean song "still with you" sung by members of the Korean group BTS.

--your low voice that passed me by

please call my name one more time

Even if we stand under the frozen sun

I still have to take a step towards you

Still With You

A dark room without a ray of light

Clearly shouldn't get used to it but getting familiar with it day by day

If even the low sound of the air conditioner enters the ears

don't exist anymore and I'm literally going to break down

Laugh hand in hand and weep

Maybe these simple feelings are everything to me

His voice is softer than the boys who sang before, and the rhythm is lighter, so the whole song is easier to listen to.

Cheng Hao didn't understand Korean, but he could hear a hint of sadness and regret in Qin Xi's voice.

This song is for that person.

His feelings for Mu Tian are like gray butterflies dancing in the sun, every time he spreads his wings, he takes a step closer to that warmth.As it flew closer and closer, the heat continued to rise, and finally the body of the butterfly was roasted into ashes.

But no matter what, he didn't want to back down, and walked forward on this path of self-destruction regardless.

He can't let go.At least, not yet.

He talks to Mu Tian every night, and can use WeChat to contact him at any time, but he can't stop the two from missing each other.

Qin Xi learned that Mu Tian's grandma didn't make it through in the end, and finally passed away after seeing her favorite grandson.The Mu family was immersed in grief and was busy preparing for the funeral.Mu Tian is going to postpone the vacation and send grandma off for the last time.

He expressed his apologies for the postponement of his return, but Qin Xi understood very well.The pain of his parents' death is still vivid in his mind, Mu Tian wants to stay with his grieving parents for a few more days, how could he object?

After class, he went to the supermarket to buy things, and stopped when he passed a small shop on the street.

It was a tattoo shop.

After hesitating for a while, he opened the door and walked in.

In the flowery garden, the white soles of her feet stepped on the broken leaves, and she walked slowly towards the golden apple tree step by step.The roses beside her were covered with dense thorns, and they slid across her white and jade-like skin, leaving streaks of bloodstains, but they couldn't stop her progress.

want to!No matter how difficult it is!The breathing is getting heavier and heavier, but the gentle figure under the apple tree is right in front of my eyes, it seems to be within reach, but it seems far away and out of reach.

wait for me!I'm approaching, although slowly, but I will definitely arrive!

Suddenly, a dazzling white light appeared, and Qin Xi suddenly woke up from his dream.

After wiping off his sweat, he felt a little itchy on his chest.

Unbuttoning it, he lowered his head to look at the brand new mark on his heart. The two letters "MT" are surrounded by a heart-shaped ink pattern, with some redness around them, and covered with stickers to prevent infection.

Gently caressing those two words, and raised the corners of his mouth, he thought to himself: How excited will that guy be when he sees it?

A few more days passed, and finally the weekend arrived.

The two had a video chat, and Qin Xi hugged the cat and greeted Mu Tian in front of the camera.

"I miss you so much..." Mu Tian in the camera pouted aggrievedly: "A lot of people came last night, and they all came to see grandma for the last time."

Qin Xi nodded, patted the cat's back, and asked, "Are you in the funeral parlor?"

Mu Tian turned the camera around: "Yes, look, are there many people? I've been here all night, sleepy and tired, and my phone is almost dead."

"Then let's talk when you're done?"

"No, no, I miss you, don't hang up!"

Mu Tian said quickly.

But just after he finished speaking, the camera shook, and a beautiful face appeared in the video.

"Hey, who is he? Xiaotian, why didn't you say you have such a handsome friend?"

The girl greeted Qin Xi curiously: "Hello, how are you!"

Qin Xi was taken aback for a moment, then politely replied: "Hello, my name is Qin Xi."

"Why did you come here?"

Mu Tian in the camera seemed a little dissatisfied with the girl, and said to her impatiently.

The girl stuck out her tongue: "Why are you so fierce. Your mother is looking for you, hurry up!"

After speaking, she took the phone over and pointed the camera at herself.

Mu Tian's voice sounded beside her: "Qin Xi, I'll come back as soon as I go, wait for me!"

After speaking, he whispered to the girl again, "Don't talk nonsense" and left.

The girl rolled her eyes and asked Qin Xi with a smile, "Are you familiar? Are you his roommate in America? I heard from my aunt that his roommate is very handsome."

Qin Xi nodded: "Well, I live with him."

He didn't know if Mu Tian had announced the relationship between the two of them, so he couldn't say it clearly, but he didn't want to deny the facts that should be admitted.

The girl paused, as if she was not very satisfied with the answer.

"I heard that you take good care of him. Thank you, you have worked hard during this time. Mu Tian is just a young master at home and can't do anything. I said I would take care of him, but he refused to let me. I was so angry. .Thanks to having you by his side!"

Qin Xi felt a "click" in his heart, and felt a sense of vigilance for no reason.

"you are?"

he asked tentatively.

The girl grinned: "My name is Lin Feifei, and I'm his fiancée. Nice to meet you!"

fiancée……

Qin Xi was stunned.

He chewed the word repeatedly in his mind, and suddenly he couldn't understand the meaning of the word.

"Why, didn't he tell you that he has a fiancée? This unreliable guy! However, our marriage was just arranged last year. He may think it's unnecessary to say it. After all, the ceremony hasn't happened yet."

Lin Feifei didn't care about Qin Xi's surprised expression, and continued on her own: "I was going to wait for him to come back for the engagement banquet during Christmas, but he refused to come back, so I didn't force him. Anyway, it's the same until the summer vacation. The days are still longer, and you will come to participate when the time comes!"

Qin Xi stared blankly at her.

The cat in his arms jumped down to the ground, and walked lightly towards his nest.
