silver sea

"Let me tell you a story." Bai Yanhui ignored Qiu Sheng's refusal, and picked up his teacup again, "From the first time I saw Xia, I thought he looked familiar, and then I watched a video by chance I found out that he looks so much like the guitarist of 'Sacred Spring', after looking through it, his age is also right, it's a coincidence."

"..."

"However, I was only in my teens when 'Holy Spring' became popular in Donghe. I didn't even know what rock music was, so I had to ask my seniors privately." Bai Yanhui looked at Qiu Sheng when he said this, "It's a metal band, Once, very famous, but then quickly disappeared - you know why? Their drummer went crazy, on stage, with a knife through the lead singer's throat. This is a nasty criminal case, five people in the band, dead One was taken in, one went in, and the remaining three were all addicts, and they were taken inside to be forced to quit, just like camels.”

I heard that Youxia mentioned some things before, but Qiu Sheng never imagined that there was such a connection in it.He acquiesced that it was not a famous band, nor was it a famous guitarist, so there was no news.

Bai Yanhui said: "Until now, only some die-hard music fans still remember it, like a rotten apple. In a few years, maybe no one will mention us. At most, when listening to the song, they will say, 'It's a pity.'" He He showed a rather regretful expression, but it was fleeting, "I got to know a little bit, and I thought it was over, but this year in Yanjing, by mistake, I actually met that guitarist."

"..."

"People in the industry call him Brother Dao. I heard that he just came out recently. He has no money and no status. He is almost useless now. After so many years of smoking, he is not so clear-headed, but he still remembers things, knowing that he used to take a girl I was pregnant before, because the girl didn't let him take charge of it, but he was very impressed. Brother Dao has gone through this, and now he realizes that he wants to find the girl and child back then. But I didn't mention it to him, otherwise he would have to chase Came to Donghe to look for Wen Xia."

Qiu Sheng's temple stretched out with a blue vein: "You are shameless!"

"But maybe Wen Xia wants to meet him too?" Bai Yanhui smiled, "You know the situation of Wen Xia's family and his character very well, now let's get him a biological father and go back with his soft heart. Do you think he'll ignore it at all?"

"He won't care."

Bai Yanhui: "But will others give up?"

"What on earth do you want to do?" Qiu Sheng said, feeling his vocal cords trembling violently.

He didn't want to admit it, as long as Bai Yanhui mentioned Wen Youxia, the others would temporarily rank second.Even though Qiu Sheng had rehearsed that Bai Yanhui might use Wen Youxia to threaten him to give up, he never expected such an event.

It was impossible for Wen Youxia himself to guess this possibility in advance.

Bai Yanhui sat on the sofa again, hugged the notebook on his lap, and said, "Let's make a deal, Qiu Sheng, you're not such a rigid person, are you?"

"You want that song."

It's not even a question sentence.

Bai Yanhui: "You can't say it so badly, I wrote the song...you happen to have a work with a similar melody, and now it can't be released unless there is a big change, so it's better to be a favor."

"How fresh, let me be a favor for the thief." Qiu Sheng said coldly, the palm of his hand had been pinched, only in this way could he stay awake.

"Of course, you can also choose to release it directly. Yize is backed by Times Records, and you guys released a song, so the similar melody was caught by them, and you have to shed a layer of skin if you don't die." Bai Yanhui tasted tea with peace of mind, "A small band, suddenly involved in this kind of protracted struggle may not necessarily win the other party's strong capital. Of course, you may also win public support with facts and reasons, but at the same time offend Time Records and a circle of industry leaders... Qiu Sheng, you are a smart person, even if you win, the loss is not worth the loss."

His shamelessness completely made Qiu Sheng speechless.

What happened afterwards, Qiu Sheng was in a state of being unable to distinguish between the real and the fake.The sedative pills he took in advance worked, preventing him from doing irreparable stupid things in his blood, but the side effects were also obvious.The excitement was torn apart by pain and drugs one after another, and it was as if his brain was covered with dust, as if the optic nerve was being oppressed at the same time.

The black and white characters were printed out and placed in front of him, Qiu Sheng only managed to see the top few words clearly.

"Copyright Transfer Agreement".

The man said in an unhurried tone: "Qiu Sheng, I heard that you are going to a music festival this year and have a national tour? Hey...Yu Gong, when your band just started, the bassist revealed that there was a drug addict. Quit your idle father making troubles for him every day, it's not a good sign to go into the real music circle, it may affect your reputation, if the other party goes crazy and does something, then even Huang Anwei won't be able to protect you; Yu Si, you are Wen Xia's boyfriend, you have to protect him once and don't let him know? You won't bet on the future of the band... When you earn money and become famous in the future, who cares about these things, but now it's different—— "

Qiu Sheng opened his mouth, but made no sound, only saw the newly printed paper shaking non-stop.

There was no wind, but his hand holding the paper was shaking violently.

"Has Wen Xia ever mentioned that pre-existing child to you?" Bai Yanhui sat opposite Qiu Sheng, propping his chin with one hand, as if he was giving him a perfect suggestion, "Why don't you put this Give me the song, and I’ll buy it out for 20 yuan. You can give Wenxia the money to treat his brother’s illness and pay back the favor. If you don’t want to, you can keep it to pay the band. I guess you can’t earn so much in a year now. ...Of course, after signing, I will never bother you again and I will never contact Wen Youxia. The news about Brother Dao is rotten between us. Qiu Sheng, this decision has not made him sorry——Wen Xia is very soft-hearted , if he really loves you, he will understand your decision."

Wen Xia will understand you.

No.

Qiu Sheng wanted to shake his head, but he shouted in his heart: Impossible, Wen Youxia will only hate me!

This is the song they wrote together, it is the proof that they finally let go of their conceptual estrangement and chose to shake hands and make peace, and it is the future that he is about to lose before he can grasp it.Now that he made this decision, Wen Youxia would definitely be disappointed with him.

But could he not?

If he does, will he regret it?

Will he and Wen Youxia go on different paths, and will there always be one of them to regret?

There must be one person who regrets...

"Why did you do this?" Qiu Sheng asked dejectedly.

The man sipped tea slowly, and after a while he said, "Qiu Sheng, I'm actually very similar to you, you must get what you want. If you really can't get it, then I'd rather destroy him than leave it to others."

Qiu Sheng didn't know how he got out of "White Camellia".

In a daze, he got on the subway, transferred to the bus, listened to the song repeatedly all the way, and finally returned to the iron-gray building in Binhai New District.

It has never been discovered before that this office building is so high that it almost plunges into the blue sky, breaking through the brilliant clouds in the evening.

The rehearsal room was on the top floor, and Qiu Sheng held on to the thin contract and dared not go in.He came back to his senses, not knowing how to face Wen Youxia, Gu Qi, and Lu Yining.

He should have signed the band name on the arrangement.

Qiu Sheng didn't dare to open the door and enter.

Someone inside seemed to have sensed his fear, and the thick soundproof door opened from the inside out.

The familiar smell of shampoo did not make Qiu Sheng instantly feel at ease as usual, on the contrary, a layer of sweat quickly broke out on his back, and he became abnormally hot in the cold spring of early February.He lowered his head and passed Wen Youxia, without making any fuss about "you won't reply to my message for two days" with the other party.

"My phone was left in the living room, and it ran out of battery." Wen Youxia took the initiative to explain, "There was an accident that day."

Qiu Sheng nodded stiffly: "Oh."

Wen Youxia thought he was still angry, and coaxed him: "Dongdong told me that Mr. Wen was wrestling, and I thought there was something wrong. After I went back... I had some conflicts with them, and I went back to my room to get something—passbook, There are still a few photos - they locked the bedroom door and couldn't get out. I just found the fire department today, and they came here as soon as possible..."

At other times, Qiu Sheng will definitely express a lot of thoughts on this, saying that Wen Youxia packed up his things after he died, and that it has nothing to do with Wen Dechang if he is really wrong. conflict?"

But Qiu Sheng held a stone in his heart and said nothing: "...Well, it's good that you're fine."

Wen Youxia raised his hand, touched the swollen side of his face, and slowly noticed something was wrong from his various abnormalities: "So you went."

"Yeah." Qiu Sheng held up the few sheets of paper, they were so heavy that he could barely lift them up, "I sold him the song."

Qiu Sheng still remembered Wen Youxia's change of expression very vividly after several years.

At first he was dazed, as if he suspected that he had heard wrong, then he frowned with an unbelievable arc.The lips that were full of desire and kissed by him countless times were tightly pursed into a line, the fundus of his eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and he looked at him with red eyes, and grabbed the few pieces of paper.

Wen Youxia read through the ten lines at a glance, and focused on the conditions issued by Bai Yanhui in the follow-up - this contract cannot be made public of course, but every clause and clause is written very clearly, and no misinterpretation is allowed.

It looks like Qiu Sheng exchanged this song with "Don't contact Wen Youxia again".

He hardened his heart, pretended that he didn't care, and said to Wen Youxia lightly, "Is there anything else you want to add? I don't want any money, you three can share it."

"Why?" Wen Youxia asked him.

"There's no reason, I think it's a good deal." Qiu Sheng said, feeling like a fragile rock splitting and falling down one by one, "He asked for 20 yuan. Anyway, I can't change that song anymore, but we can write a new one. of."

"New?" Wen Youxia seemed to be smiling.

"We will have nothing to do with Bai Yanhui in the future, but let's stop here, Wen Xia, for you and me..."

"Are you crazy?!"

This sentence resounded throughout the rehearsal room. Gu Qi, who hadn't known it yet, looked over. His eyes hadn't focused yet, and he heard a "bang". Then, before Wen Youxia pushed his hand back, Qiu Sheng had already Sitting down among wires, speakers and microphone stands, the echo is endless.

Gu Qi was stunned by the deafening feeling, and actually forgot to help someone first.

He saw Qiu Sheng turned his face sideways, his sleeve was scratched by some metal point, and his palm was scratched.Qiu Sheng touched the red blood in his hand in embarrassment, and the nasal cavity felt the heat after a while, and then another stream dripped down, and the rust smell wet his lips.

Qiu Sheng raised his head, disbelief written all over his face.

"You pushed me?!"

"You fucking pushed me?!"

"Wen Youxia, you..."

Wen Youxia seemed to have completely lost his mind, he took a step forward and grabbed Qiu Sheng by the collar to lift him up, but his other hand was already hanging in the air.At this moment, Lu Yining hugged him and pulled him back, desperately stopping: "Wen Xia, don't do anything if you have something to say! Don't do it!"

The other half, Gu Qi, stood between them. He knelt down and called out "Qiu Er", trying to get out a tissue with trembling hands but couldn't find it for a long time, so he kept asking, "Are you okay?"

After a little panic, Wen Youxia broke away from Lu Yining.

"Don't stop him and let him fight!"

The opponent's extremely aggressive actions completely enraged Qiu Sheng, and the thought of explaining seriously was suddenly thrown out of Jiuchongtian, and only the strength left in his mind was to follow along.Before Gu Qi could speak, he was pushed aside by Qiu Sheng. He stood up, stumbling without any help, his face was full of nosebleeds.

"You beat me to death today." Qiu Sheng's every word was bloody, and there was water in his eyes, full of unspeakable difficulties and anger, "You fucking...you pushed me...for what? Want to hit me with a song? Then you hit me, I won’t fight back, Wen Youxia, you hit me?!”

Wen Youxia punched the wall.

The sound insulation board cracked half a crack, and the room was suddenly silent.

Wen Youxia walked out involuntarily, he didn't even bring the bass.The speaker was in the way, so he kicked hard, as if venting the anger he hadn't released on Qiu Sheng just now.

In less than 5 minutes, the door was pushed open again.

"Where are you going?!" Qiu called him sternly.

Wen Youxia took half a step forward, but finally stopped.

"Qiu Sheng, I thought we already understood each other, and you would understand what I want." Wen Youxia didn't look back, his shoulders were filled with disappointment, and he left a word in a low voice.

"I was wrong, we just weren't right."

The setting sun outside the window was like blood, and the sparkling ocean surface was the same as the day they first came to this rehearsal room.

It was early autumn, and Wen Youxia said that our band could be called "Yinshan".

The author says:

*All the descriptions of prohibited items in this article do not represent the author's three views, and the attitude of the protagonist is also obvious. Of course, you must not touch these things in reality.

And their band's income may be a thousand dollars per person for a performance, and the album will sell for one or two thousand copies at the top, and the various cuts will be deducted, so 20 yuan is indeed a huge sum of money for Qiu Sheng at the moment... …
