silver sea

Before the performance in Lingang, the relationship between Wen Youxia and Qiu Sheng seemed to be getting worse. There was zero interaction before, but now it is almost a negative number. The naked eye can see that the two are avoiding each other, let alone actively communicating.

After the stage was over, Allen was extremely nervous. She vaguely heard that the two had a relationship with their former lovers, but she never expected such a situation to exist, and there was no way to start mediation.

Gu Qi was not there, so she had no choice but to ask Lu Yining: "The performance is about to start, can they get back together today?"

"Today? Impossible." Lu Yining shared her mints, and said nonchalantly, "Qiu Sheng has a bad temper and explodes immediately, but he leaves quickly so he doesn't work emotionally; Wen Xia has a rather dull personality. They don't hold grudges, and rarely take the initiative to explain anything. When they quarrel, Wen Xia usually bows his head first, otherwise it is estimated that the battle will be protracted."

A Lian was not comforted by the mints at all, and his voice was trembling with anxiety when he said this: "Then, what should I do! There will be performances tonight..."

"It won't affect the performance." Lu Yining was about to say that the two at least respected the music fans, but then remembered the biggest stage accident in their performance career, and the vowed guarantee suddenly faltered, so he had to say in a roundabout way, "Even if, Even if something happens, Gu Qi and I will definitely stop them and try our best."

Allen was even more desperate, and even prepared to write a resignation letter in an instant.

The number of music fans at the scene was about the same as that in Donghe. Some people brought the towels produced by Yinshan back then and waved them around. They didn't know anything about Allen's anxiety backstage.

Yinshan used to be very popular among the underground bands in Donghe and Lingang. Those who liked them felt that although Qiu Sheng was good-looking, Typhoon was unexpectedly wild. He was a charming lead singer, and the atmosphere of the band was good. Pulling the hips, the members don't have this and that problem.And those who hate them feel that Yinshan and the others are too pretentious, not easy to get along with, and not like a rock band, especially the bass player, who is a fart and makes a bad face every time-thanks to the controversy, even if it is disbanded, it is not forgotten.

Music fans heard about Yinshan's reorganization for the first time, and at first they were worried that they would be packaged as fake rock with a strong commercial flavor after signing Taiguo.After the premiere of Donghe, after reading some repo, I choose to rest assured that the core of Yinshan has not changed.

So the expectations for Lingang are even higher.

The conflicts in the audience did not spread to the performance. A Lian was in the backstage for two hours and almost picked off all the manicures she had just made. When Qiu Sheng gasped and said, "That's it for today", her legs went limp. , fell down on the sofa.

But then the music fans shouted for encore, and there must be a song reserved for the special performance.

This was not agreed in advance. A Lian immediately reminded the staff vigilantly: "We didn't agree to encore." Yan said: "You can ask the band, if they want to perform, they must still perform."

Alian failed to communicate with the venue, so he strode to the edge of the backstage.

Qiu Sheng just took off the guitar, hooked his waist slightly, and had no intention of returning to the stage.Seeing A Lian, he asked her for hot water, and A Lian hurriedly handed the thermos cup he had with him to Qiu Sheng.

"Encore! Encore! Encore!"

In the arena, the endless shouts continued and came clearly.

A Lian asked, "Are you going to play Encore today?"

Qiu Sheng didn't answer, but raised his head and poured a half cup of warm water.

"Look at Qiu'er's state." Gu Qi patted Qiu Sheng's back, "I feel very good, and it won't be a big problem to play another three or five songs, but unfortunately we don't have so many songs haha!——so act? "

"Ask him." Qiu Sheng hummed weakly.

The pronouns in his mouth are only aimed at a specific person, but he still persists in not having a conversation even though he is in the same space.

Gu Qi had no choice but to act as a sounding board, asking again the one who had just asked Qiu Sheng, and finally warned Wen Youxia: "If you say 'ask Qiu Sheng' or 'whatever', I will cut your strings."

Wen Youxia was silent for a moment and asked, "Which song is he playing?"

Gu Qi lamented in his heart that if he said it, he didn't say it. He resigned to his fate and turned around: "Wen Xia asked you which song to play."

This time Qiu Sheng didn't let him pass on any more messages.

He held the guitar neck, and dropped a sentence: "As death as life."

The T-shirt was completely soaked in sweat after two hours of performance. Qiu Sheng felt hot and didn't want to take it off, so he braced himself to put on the guitar.

The clothes stuck to the back half exposed the shoulder blades, and the neck and bare arms were all shiny, illuminated by the light, like the glittering armor of a mermaid, arming his weakness.

They didn't have an encore for the first two tours, and they turned off the lights after the last song.

The major stage accident happened in the "encore" that was louder than the other. To this day, Qiu Sheng still clearly remembers every second of that night.

The bass that was smashed in the tavern broke into two pieces and pierced Qiu Sheng's eyes, making him instinctively resist returning to the scene for four years, lest another accident happen-even if he knew in his heart that Wen Youxia was gone, no one would He smashed the piano, but when he heard the "encore" in unison, every nerve ending quickly began to tremble.

This is also a big mountain in front of him, its presence makes people want to escape, he will go around, or turn a blind eye, but after the hotel and Wen Youxia calmly quarreled, he suddenly changed his mind.

Step over it, remove it, for today and now.

He no longer fears "encore".

Qiu Sheng stepped onto the stage, and the lights were relit to a blurred blue.

The music fans were a little dazed, and then there was a roar of cheers, and many people raised their mobile phones.They might be preparing to record or take pictures, Qiu Sheng didn't care, he brushed his too long bangs to the side, lowered his head and plucked the guitar strings, without even looking at whether the band members were in position.

"You guys did it on purpose. I haven't had an encore for a long time... Okay, what are you singing?"

After Qiu Sheng finished speaking, he tilted his head and listened carefully to the noisy song titles below.Some people wanted to listen to "2099" sung by Donghechang, some people ordered "Butterfly Burning", and some booed after Chun, asking them to cover famous songs by foreign bands.

Qiu Sheng waited for a while and said, "Actually, I didn't intend to let you choose."

Fans chorused "Hush" him.

"Just sing like death like life, and those who don't listen can go."

As soon as the voice fell, the bass player standing not far away played the first note just right.

Afterwards, throughout the song, no matter whether the speed was changed, the sound was changed, or even the key was changed impromptuly, the bass line always followed the vocals-even if they were arguing, they were still the most understanding people on the stage.

How ironic.

"Like Death Like Life" was written by Wen Youxia, and it was included in the first album. When it was first released, the response was mediocre, but after a while, many people said that this song "has great stamina".Maybe this is Wen Youxia's creative style, and also his charm. You can't see it clearly at first glance, but once you fall into it, you will sink quickly.

The prelude lasted nearly 1 minute, and the instrumental music seemed to tell a story hoarsely. After that, the rhythm weakened and became gentle, and the chords became simple, slowly introducing the human voice.

"My love, would you please pray for me.

"I'm gonna to a place out of time,

"Toa place out of time where you're ready gone,

"with our memories dived into the blue and souls reach the sun."

In the middle of the singing, a string broke and scratched his jaw, but Qiu Sheng didn't notice it, and sang without stopping.In the end, the bass sound stopped completely, and there were no drums, only the guitar chords accompanied the vocals, and a beam of light gathered above Qiu Sheng's head, enveloping him in deep blue.

The crowd who were swaying because of the restlessness in front fell into silence. Qiu Sheng pressed the remaining five strings and stood up with the floor: "Then let's stop here today, thank you for coming."

Seconds after he left the stage, the cheers began again.

On this day, Alian had an absent-minded supper with the band. She was holding juice and leaning next to Lu Yining—the young drummer she was most familiar with in the whole band.

Lu Yining drank some wine, and began to speak unrestrainedly: "Qiu Sheng, you are going to act like death and life today. Why did you say it at the end of the day? Thanks to the fact that we have rehearsed a few times, otherwise we haven't practiced for four years... Didn't you stop me from performing this song..."

"Huh? You haven't performed Encore before?" Alian was surprised.

Qiu Sheng nodded: "I used to think that performing this song had a bad meaning, but it sounds good, so I only put it in the album."

"Why?" Allen asked, "Is there any special meaning?"

"The lyrics are about a person whose lover is dead." Qiu Sheng carefully picked out the pitiful piece of flesh in his sixtieth, without any disturbance in his breathing. "Then he left a letter, saying that I am going to find him, you guys Don't feel sorry for me—it's actually a martyrdom, and songwriters think martyrdom is a second life."

Alian seldom heard a straightforward explanation of the meaning of the song, and felt like a stick in his throat. He let out an "ah" for a while, and was about to say something when Wen Youxia, who was at the other end of the table, suddenly said, "That's not what it meant."

Allen: "Eh...?"

There seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere.

Wen Youxia held a beer in one hand: "Falling in love with someone will make him feel 'alive'. This letter is not for friends, but for their common memories. No one can see it."

Allen sighed: "It sounds a little sad."

"Fortunately, after all, we will meet soon, so dying for love is not a second rebirth, but seeing your lover is."

Qiu Sheng heard this: "That's what you told me before."

"I only said the creative idea, that is your own guess."

"Okay, my fault, do you want me to apologize?"

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Lu Yining first pulled Alian closer to him: "Wen Xia, hand me that, that..." He stretched out his hand to sniff the tissue next to Youxia, and sniffed it appropriately. Blocking Qiu Sheng's line of sight, he took things without turning back, and chatted among himself, "Oh, Lingang seems to be warmer than Donghe, what do you think?"

Lu Yining has learned to reconcile the atmosphere, making their quarrel even more outrageous.

Qiu Sheng lowered his eyes, on the surface he didn't care about Wen Youxia.The other party also stopped, and after handing Lu Yining a tissue, he silently filled a glass of beer for himself, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.

They finally returned to the Cold War period, and everyone present was relieved happily. They thought to themselves: It’s better not to talk than to fight, and the cynicism that obviously holds a grudge is infinitely more terrifying than the previous bickering simply because of disagreement...

The show plus the supper afterward, it was 03:30 in the morning when everything was over.Gu Qi drank too much because he was too happy, Wen Youxia and Lu Yining helped him back to the room.Wen Youxia stayed there to see how Gu Qi was doing, and only got up to leave after he was able to sleep with a pleasant little snoring.

It took almost half an hour to go back and forth, and he told Lu Yining that he would see you tomorrow, guessing that Qiu Sheng would probably take a shower and go to bed, and he felt that the difficult day was finally over.

In the past, Qiu Sheng was not so sensitive and suspicious, and his anxiety did not bother him 24 hours a day. The 21-year-old Qiu Sheng is cute and frank. At that time, he was riding a motorcycle with him for a midnight ride on the Donghe Linhai trail. He hugged him tightly from behind, and the clear voice that was praised by many people shouted against the sea wind: "Wen Xia I love you to death!"

Wen Youxia, who heard those words, might not have imagined that after only a thousand days and nights, Qiu Sheng would make him feel strange.

But he couldn't say something like "You were not like this before"——Qiu Sheng's current character of not getting close to strangers, worrying about gains and losses and being in a state of too much control, a large part of the reason is that he is behind the push.

In the past, Gu Qi always said half-blaming and half-jokingly, "You spoil him too much, it's actually not good for him at all", but Wen Youxia didn't listen.Every time since the reunion, Wen Youxia always blamed himself for Qiu Sheng's irritability, and he didn't even dare to confront him again.

The two rooms were not adjacent to each other, with a distance of about ten meters, the sound of Wen Youxia's sneakers stepping on the thick carpet was completely eliminated.He took out his room card, and after swiping it, the door lock actually flashed a red light.

"?"

Wen Youxia frowned and pressed the door lock.

"Click", the resistance stopped him.Pushing harder but still not brushing away, Wen Youxia was taken aback.

The door of the room was locked by Qiu Sheng.
