silver sea

After getting the address, Wen Youxia came very quickly, and Qiu Sheng even wondered for a second whether he knew the address of the record store where he worked, and arrived in less than 10 minutes.

Wen Youxia came here on foot, calmly, and pushed open the glass door of the cold drink shop.

He is in good spirits, wearing a gray sportswear, because of the sun exposure outside - although the temperature is not high, he will always sweat in the sun - the zipper of the sweater is low to the lower abdomen, open, and there is a black short-sleeved T-shirt inside, with a picture Nirvana's smiley face logo.

He stood at the door and looked around, locking on to Qiu Sheng who was sitting by the window.

The clerk of the cold drink shop is a young girl, who has been watching Wen Youxia furtively since he opened the door, watched him walk to Qiu Sheng's seat, and then came over impatiently: "Hello, what do you want to drink?"

Wen Youxia didn't even look at that overly sweet smile: "Same as him."

Qiu Sheng stared at the mango ice in front of him, always felt that this "same" drink was too different from Wen Youxia's.

After making mango ice cream for a while, Wen Youxia sat where Julie was before, resting her chin with one hand.It is rare for him to start the topic one step ahead of Qiu Sheng: "See you? Good hands and feet, don't worry."

Indeed, Wen Youxia didn't feel as decadent as he just walked around the police station these few days.

Qiu Sheng was a little relieved, so other doubts came to his mind: "Why did you come so fast?"

"I live nearby." Wen Youxia drew a circle with his left hand, "On the street of Changdong Middle School where you turn left at the intersection ahead..." The clerk interrupted their conversation by serving mango ice, and waited for them to leave. Wen Youxia said again, "Are you working part-time in Brother Hua's record store?"

Qiu Sheng had a very strange guess: "Why, do you go there often?"

Next, Wen Youxia confirmed his thoughts: "When I was young, I didn't have time later."

"What a coincidence." Qiu Sheng laughed.

"Yeah." Wen Youxia said reminiscently, "Maybe he still remembers me."

Qiu Sheng: "Next time I come to shop, he has found a lot of out-of-print records now, and is planning to open a branch."

"next time."

The space they set aside for each other got closer by chance, and the result was that they could overlap, and by accident, it confirmed what my friend said unintentionally: Donghe City is expanding year by year, but the area where everyone moves has not changed much. , so whoever is looking for will be able to find it.

Wen Youxia didn't touch the mango ice, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but took a little bit of it with his own spoon and ate it.He raised his eyes to see Wen Youxia's reaction, the other party held the edge of the white porcelain plate and moved it towards him.

"I'll just take one bite, eat it quickly and it will melt in a while." He was a little shy.

Wen Youxia shook her head: "It's okay."

Qiu Sheng chewed the mango, he had the illusion that this plate was sweeter.

When a customer left, the wind chime hanging at the door of the cold drink shop rang softly.

"Wen Xia." He laughed out loud, "I just found out why your eyelids are single and double? The left one is single."

"...Really?" Wen Youxia touched his left eye, he seemed to be aware of it, but he didn't pay much attention to it, "Just tell me why you were staring at me just now."

Qiu Sheng bit the spoon: "I'm thinking about something else."

"Ok?"

"Didn't you leave early that day, why did you go to find you later?"

He didn't mention the urine test, but Wen Youxia would definitely understand.He purposely made these words ambiguous, playing charades with various sentences omitting key words, and both of them knew exactly what the content was.

Whether it's deception or self-deception, Qiu Sheng just thinks that he doesn't need to explain clearly what Wen Youxia hasn't done.

"Because I'm a member of the band." Wen Youxia scooped up some ice with a spoon, but didn't eat it. "Camel's incident is serious this time. I thought he was just flying leaves, but it turned out to be a fan. We checked and were asked It is estimated that I want to ask whether I know about it and whether I participated in it.”

Qiu Sheng broke into a cold sweat from the air conditioner: "Fan...?! Fuck...then you—"

"It's okay, I leave every time after rehearsals and performances. The police have verified the situation, so there is no difficulty. Besides, the urine test results are good." Wen Youxia said, and then frowned embarrassingly.

"what happened?"

"The band may be dead." His tone could not be discerned sad, "Luo Tuo and Xiaoxue both attract fans, Luo Tuo is still in the palace for the second time, so it may not be easy to deal with. Lao Bai does not, but he knows more than me, and may have a relationship Money can come out."

"so……"

"This year's tour is definitely over, and now we're just suppressing the news."

It's okay to lack a drummer, but lack a lead singer...

A second ago, Qiu Sheng was still uneasy about Wen Youxia being taken away by the police for inspection, but when he said these words, he didn't dare to ask the deeper meaning, a deeply buried thought suddenly became alive.

Qiu Sheng tentatively said, "Then... what should you do?"

"You know." Wen Youxia looked directly at Qiu Sheng, "The reason why Rotten Apple disbanded last time."

When he mentioned this incident, Qiu Sheng was surprised, but what Wen Youxia said was indeed a tacit "secret" in the circle——

The Rotten Apple band started at the beginning of the century, when Luo Tuo and Bai Yanhui as the central characters were only young people in their twenties.Their songs are full of restlessness and anger, and they quickly rise to prominence.After the new world of luxury and money opened its doors, Luo Tuo soon became addicted to drugs, but Bai Yanhui didn't know whether he let it go on purpose or something, and didn't persuade him.

At that time, the inspection was not very strict, and in addition to taking a passport when traveling later, and avoiding ID cards as much as possible, I was nervous for a while every May and June, and I could do whatever I liked at other times.It wasn't until a tour backstage that the camel addiction started. At that time, he didn't bring "fans". It is said that he rolled all over the ground while howling, slashed himself with a knife, and screamed not to let others approach.At that time, the bass player of the band tried to help the camel, but was stabbed in the lower abdomen with a knife.Although he was rescued, his physical function declined a lot due to the rupture of his internal organs. What was worse was that he refused to touch the bass and left the band after being stimulated this time.

And because of seeing blood, the bar owner chose to call the police for fear of life.The camel was forcibly sent to a drug rehabilitation center, and later went in several times, becoming a key surveillance object.

At that time, Rotten Apple didn't want to disband, but the incident was so big that it was published on the social media, and the brokerage company wanted to hide them, so they had to announce their "disbandment" first, and waited for Luotuo to successfully detoxify.

But sooner or later, his whole person has been broken from the inside out, and he can never really change it.

The camel was the original soul of the band, but unexpectedly the name he gave became his final portrayal, a rotten apple.

This time it seems that the old things are repeating itself, and "Blueberry Night" must be completely rectified.

"When Bai Yanhui first asked me to join, I didn't know much about these circles in China, and I didn't know that the lead singer was an addict." Wen Youxia changed the name of Lao Bai from "Brother Hui" to his full name, "Is it ridiculous? ? I found out that the boat was leaking when I got on the boat. Fortunately, I don’t rely on it too much.”

"Is it just because of these?" Qiu Sheng asked, and hastily added, "I don't mean that these reasons are not enough—"

"The songs of Rotten Apple are all written by Bai Yanhui, but he is gradually unable to write anything." Wen Youxia paused, "I have never written songs, but I can write bass and arrange music. He will tell me if he knows. He asked me to write for him and sign his name, but I didn't agree, so once he stuffed...marijuana into my cigarette."

Qiu Sheng gasped in disbelief.

To ease his heart, Wen Youxia said: "I didn't smoke, but when I lit it, I felt the smell was wrong, so I quarreled a little bit."

Qiu Sheng suddenly remembered the night when they first spoke, some kind of speculation welled up on the tip of his tongue, Qiu Sheng raised his volume: "Is it that day? He tampered with your cigarette?"

Wen Youxia's expression was slightly surprised, as if he didn't expect Qiu Sheng to talk about their meeting for so long, and he lowered his eyes for a long time and said: "He doesn't think he did something wrong, it's the same as last time, he thinks he's helping me."

"help you?"

"He thinks I'm under too much pressure, but I think we're not the same people." Wen Youxia was not in high spirits, "Even without this incident, I would still find a reason to leave."

"What about the other bands?"

"Ok?"

"I..." Qiu Sheng couldn't help sitting upright. He had done many simulation exercises so it was so difficult to say, but he was worried that Wen Youxia's answer would not be as good as he thought, and the words he had prepared would be incoherent, "I might... ...I'm sure I'm not as experienced as Bai Yanhui, and my band is currently short of people, so it might be impossible for you to start touring and pay your salary immediately after you join, but I...I'm very..."

Wen Youxia stared at him quietly without interrupting.

After Qiu Sheng said a lot, he calmed down a lot: "But I really like your... style."

He poked the ice, and his words became smoother: "I may have been confused about what kind of music I wanted until I met you. When I first heard the Rotten Apple show, as soon as the bass sound came out, I...you You know, I think this is exactly what I want, not just blind distortion, noise, and hearing the whole person walk along, the heartbeat will speed up, and all emotions will surge and resonate in an instant-like rain, you You know it really looks like rain."

"Hmm." Wen Youxia snorted inexplicably.

"Everyone doesn't like rain, it's wet, cold, and the smell of tide is not good. But everyone is born to be attracted by heavy rain, and the loneliness of being alone in the torrential water curtain, blending with the sky and the earth The freedom of one body..." Qiu Sheng suddenly grabbed Wen Youxia's hand on the table, "Wen Xia, you are a very, very good bass player, with an unparalleled sense of presence and guidance, you are a genius—I just want You don't have this kind of impulse towards others anymore!"

Soft music was played in the cold drink shop, as if echoing Qiu Sheng's words, and peaceful white noise sounded after those graceful minor tunes.

Because of sub-health, Qiu Sheng's hands were rarely warm, but at this time he was holding Wen Youxia, but it was scalding like fire.He looked at Wen Youxia expectantly, but couldn't remember a word he said just now.

"Qiu, many bands have come to ask me after hearing the news." Wen Youxia said flatly, "You should be the fifth one."

"Huh?" The light in his eyes suddenly turned gray.

Wen Youxia withdrew his hand, and looked carefully at the place where the fingertips were touched by the palm, as if it had just been attacked by a scorching heat, and the pulse beat faster.

Does it mean to refuse?

He tried to add conditions at the end: "I won't force you to write songs for someone, I will write them myself...you just need to help me see if it sounds good, Wen Xia, you are completely free here."

With a childish expression, Wen Youxia laughed in his heart at his childishness.

"Really, let me think about it."

At that time, Qiu Sheng rejoiced wholeheartedly that the bass player in his dream might stand with him, and the promise was made too easily, and he didn't even think about the true weight of the word "freedom".

Wen Youxia attaches great importance to works and creative vitality, and he cannot tolerate any non-original flaws.As for ghostwriting, plagiarism, and playing tricks as a gunman... don't even think about it.

So later, Bai Yanhui found Qiu Sheng, held the almost identical song that they had edited earlier, and threatened them, "Either you sell the copyright to me, or I will destroy your band."It's just a song, if Bai Yanhui can shut up, then the copyright will be sold, and he can write more, two, three, ten.

To Qiu Sheng, this was not a "loss" at all, but to Wen Youxia, he did not expect that this would be the biggest rift between the two.

And Wen Youxia had warned him long ago.
