silver sea

Wen Youxia's birth date was written on April 4th on his ID card, but in fact this was the day Wen Dechang took him to register.There were irregularities in the household registration procedures twenty years ago, and April is obviously not Wen Youxia's real birthday.

He had already been in Wen's house for a while when he registered, and Wen Youxia should have been born on a certain day in early February.As for the date, probably the only one who knows is Wen Youxia's own mother.

The 2014 Spring Festival holiday just ended, and the two of them took the bus to the rehearsal room in Binhai New Area as planned.

The nine cold days have not yet been counted, and the Donghe River is hovering near zero, and there is no snow, but the road is icy due to the low temperature at night, and the bus in the morning is especially slow.Qiu Sheng sat in the last row, leaning his head on Wen Youxia's shoulder.

The bumps in the car made him drowsy, his eyes closed and opened, and the new song demo in the earphones had started to hypnotize him countless times.Qiu Sheng's hand was placed in Wen Youxia's palm, and the cuffs of his jacket were rolled up because of the movement, revealing a thin forearm. The heating in the car was sufficient but it wasn't cold.He fell asleep in a daze, and occasionally his head fell from side to side uncontrollably. He hadn't taken much medicine recently. Qiu Sheng was still calm now, not made anxious by the new plan that was about to start, but just a little nervous.

When the bus stopped, his wrist was clasped by something, the texture was hard, and the temperature surrounded him in a cool way.Qiu Sheng looked down in a haze, and saw that the steel-plated strings were wrapped around his wrist.

Qiu Sheng frowned: "What is this?"

"I made it casually, and I'll give it to you." Wen Youxia lowered her head, using the back of the chair to cover it, and put her lips between Qiu Sheng's eyebrows.

Without any warning or opportunity, Qiu Sheng received a strange gift, with a weight pressed against his wrist.He didn't even bother to give a happy or surprised reaction first, and found the clue after turning the bass string around.

It should be an A string, not particularly thick, brand new, and the lines on it are clearly visible. After cutting it short, it is connected end to end according to the circumference of Qiu Sheng's wrist to form a simple and simple bracelet. A metal buckle is added to prevent it from falling off, and it feels uneven. .Qiu Sheng raised his hand, and immediately two small things flashed past his vision under the force of gravity.

There is a small bell, silver-white, the inner core has been removed so it will not ring, and it will not cause noise to interfere with the performance when worn.

And another little thing... in the shape of a seashell.

It is exactly the same as his favorite pick, even the slightly soft material is exactly the same, but Qiu Mingming remembers that he was asked to leave by the audience during a performance.He was very reluctant to give it away, but he wanted to pretend not to care.

Qiu Sheng touched the translucent tip. There are several picks in this series, and there is no difference except for the pattern, but Qiu Sheng just likes the kaleidoscope.After losing it for a while, he contacted several stores when he wanted to buy another one, and finally asked the manufacturer to find out that this model had been discontinued half a year ago.

The blue pattern at the bottom of the lake was illuminated by a sudden flash of skylight, and it was filled with brilliance for an instant, and then returned to calm.

"Where did you buy it?" Qiu Sheng laughed dumbly.

"A piano shop. I taught guitar there for a while, and the boss also liked this brand of picks very much. When I heard that the production was going to be discontinued, I stocked up some and asked him for it." Wen Youxia said, "When I use it, I buy it from the Take it over there."

Qiu Sheng covered the pick, and poured it on Wen Youxia: "I don't! I won't give it to anyone who wants it this time!"

Later, Qiu Sheng secretly set the day when he received the simple bracelet as a holiday in his heart, which is the beginning of spring in his heart.

Although Qiu Sheng thought it was time to get warmer, and the episode on the bus gradually passed away, spring in Donghe came very late this year.As soon as the temperature returned, it was followed by sleet and returned to zero.

On the first really sunny day in February, Bai Yanhui visited them in the rehearsal room in Binhai New Area as agreed.

Said it was "visiting", Qiu Sheng tensed up, and went to tune and practice an hour earlier than usual. What does You Xia think, he subconsciously regards this person and the time of the rotten apple as an imaginary enemy, and only allows himself to be better than them.

Bai Yanhui brought them a lot of things, drinks and snacks.This little thing can't buy Qiu Sheng off, but it can win the favor of Gu Qi and Lu Yining. The few people exchanged pleasantries and jokes, and the atmosphere was so relaxed that it seemed that all grievances and grievances had been wiped out.

That's right, the grievances are all Wen Youxia's grievances, and have nothing to do with other people.

It started normally, and Bai Yanhui went out halfway to answer the phone twice.When he came back, he saw Qiu Sheng looking at him, pointed to the phone, and said without hesitation, "Ah, it's Yize."

The big star?Qiu Sheng raised his eyebrows lightly: "Teacher Bai, you two have a very good relationship."

"I'm his producer." Bai Yanhui said it as a matter of course, "I also have a little personal relationship. At first, a friend introduced me to him. He is a nice guy and very self-motivated."

Qiu Sheng asked: "Then he came to you to promote the new song?"

"Of course not!" Bai Yanhui smiled and waved his hands, "He asked me when I would go back, and I'm going to release a new album."

Qiu Sheng said "Oh" and observed Bai Yanhui's expression and tone when he mentioned Hu Yize. It seemed that he had never shown such a helpless and doting expression before.

Isn't the relationship simple?As Qiu Sheng thought about it, his previous vigilance could not help but cut off three points.

"How long do you usually rehearse?" Bai Yanhui asked, took a sip from the mineral water bottle, "Will you have dinner tonight?"

Qiu Sheng didn't answer directly: "The progress is different every day, and our end time is not fixed."

Bai Yanhui said "That's it", as if he didn't hear the meaning of Qiu Sheng's words "Go first if you have something to do", and sat down near the door.He lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, not caring about the content of the band's rehearsal at all, as if he was just waiting for them to finish.

In the speaker, the sound of the bass playing twice touched Qiu Sheng.

He looked up and asked with his eyes: What's wrong?

Wen Youxia pointed to the music score, and Qiu Sheng went to see it, only to find that according to the original plan, they would be rehearsing "" soon - this song has been finished, as long as it is rehearsed properly, it will be able to enter the studio immediately, and the song will be released next month Seems like a done deal.It's just that Qiu Sheng is strict, and he hasn't passed the melody to the company's people before.

Do you want to practice?Wen Youxia was asking him, even Liu Wangyu didn't know where the song was going.

Qiu Sheng held down the strings of the guitar, pursed his lips, and glanced at Bai Yanhui again from the corner of his eye.

The anxious look of the man frowning and typing did not seem to be pretending. Combined with the previous two calls, he must be busy with business.Before Qiu Sheng could sit down and make a decision, he saw Wen Youxia gesturing to them.

The side of the left hand is erected, and the index finger of the right hand is drawn across a short section and then pulled down-this is the signal they used to compress the time agreement when they performed in livehouse before, which means "only perform to the first chorus".The song "" is divided into three sections, and the main song changes more in the latter part.

After receiving it, Gu Qi let out an "ah" for no apparent reason, and looked at Qiu Sheng.

Qiu Sheng nodded, meaning "I heard about Xia".

"" is a regular duration, and the first chorus ends with a total of one and a half minutes. Normal people just shake their heads and talk a few words before passing.After all, Wen Youxia was a little wary and didn't show all his cards.

During the whole rehearsal, Qiu Sheng occasionally glanced at Bai Yanhui.

The other party didn't seem to realize that this was a new song, and he was still frowning. All the external interference factors could not overcome what he was dealing with, and he was rubbing the bridge of his nose with a headache halfway through.All the reactions made Qiu Sheng start to wonder if they were overly vigilant, and thought, "He doesn't feel anything about this, is it because he's not good at singing?"

Qiu Sheng also became conflicted. While wanting to prove that their new work has made a breakthrough, he also didn't want to show the whole picture to others.The tighter the cover, the higher the expectations of others, the more disappointed it will be?

Do you want to do it again?

Shall I play it again?

He was about to be pulled into schizophrenia by the two thoughts, and his abdomen was tightening and painful. Qiu Sheng covered it and looked at Wen Youxia.

As soon as the bass stopped, the melody immediately became weak, and then Gu Qi also stopped, and the drum beat fell bewilderedly.Qiu Sheng's heart seemed to be caught. He caught a glimpse of Bai Yanhui looking up at the rehearsal room in surprise at this moment, but he quickly ignored them, as if the passage he heard just now was nothing new.

"continue."

Qiu Sheng heard himself talking.

Lu Yining didn't doubt him, thinking that he accidentally missed the beat or made a mistake, but now that Qiu Sheng spoke, the next second the clean drum followed Qiu Sheng's rhythm.Then there is the guitar, after playing a bar, Qiu Sheng finally felt the bass line, played it twice first, and finally believed him, hesitatingly filling every gap in the melody.

During the 4-minute song, Qiu Sheng saw Bai Yanhui go from being silent to typing slowly, and finally raised his head in shock.

He had won in that moment, a brief, self-assertive victory.

At the same time as the last guitar sound disappeared, applause rang out, echoing in the empty rehearsal room.Bai Yanhui walked towards them clapping, and asked incredulously, "Did you write this song, Xiaoqiu?"

"Wen Xia." Qiu Sheng said, "I wrote the bass line."

"I can't tell the difference at all. I thought the song you wrote, the bass line compiled by Wen Xia, especially the chords were very similar to his before... No wonder you two are so good." Bai Yanhui couldn't hide his excitement, "It's really too Well, you are all alone... Wen Xia, you are more thoughtful than before, congratulations!"

Wen Youxia avoided his overly hot gaze: "We were already in a band."

"I invite you to dinner, I really...I must invite you to dinner today!" Bai Yanhui said, "Let's call it a day. There is a new Taiwanese-style restaurant nearby. It's very authentic. You don't have to wait for it now." Let's go, let's go, don't practice, there are only two stops, there will be time for you to come back later and arrange."

"Is Teacher Bai still coming after dinner?" Gu Qi asked.

Bai Yanhui waved his hand: "I still have something to do at night, over there with Yize... Well, he needs to make a video if he can't see anyone for a long time."

It was confirmed that the relationship between him and Hu Yize was unusual, and the last doubt in Qiu Sheng's mind was dispelled.There was still plenty of time for rehearsal in the evening, so Qiu Sheng obediently accepted Bai Yanhui's proposal.

At [-] p.m., rehearsals end earlier than usual.

When I left the office building, I met a female teacher who always liked to bring them some drinks and pastries before dinner after the yoga class. She had just sent the students away that day. When they met at the elevator entrance, the other party had just walked out and pointed her mobile phone at a distance not far away. of a window.

"Mr. Xue, what are you taking pictures of?" Lu Yining saw that her phone was in camera mode.

Xue Chen smiled at him: "The sunset is beautiful, I will record a short video and send it to Moments."

Qiu Sheng couldn't help looking over.

It was indeed a brilliant sunset, connected with the ocean in the distance, orange, dark blue, and thick and gorgeous purple pink outlined colors that did not belong to spring, too strong and too bright, as if entering midsummer ahead of schedule.

"It's really beautiful. I want to write a song." Behind him, Bai Yanhui said with a smile.

Sincere, excited, and passionate about music, that's Bai Yanhui in Qiu Sheng's eyes today.

He turned his back and mouthed "what do you think" to Wen Youxia, Wen Youxia smiled, took Qiu Sheng's hand, and caught the lake bottom blue pick on the bracelet with his fingertips. The inner pulse beat.

When walking into the elevator, the shadow behind him slowly closed, Qiu Sheng recalled this scene later, the color of the sunset became viscous and absurd, and the shadow became a bloody mouth.

Swallow him straight, his lover, his ideal, all his spring.

The author says:

Teacher Xue in the yoga class, this will be tested later (mark the key points)

Tomorrow began to be dense with knives, so I lay flat and waited for a breath to finish before resting.
