A grand music performance came to an end in the ethereal chorus of female voices.

With He Zhang's last gentle movement, the movement was terminated.

Applause erupted again in the auditorium, many people stood up and applauded desperately.Even a complete layman like Xiao Xurong was a little impressed, clapped his palms, and said "awesome" with his mouth.

Gu Changji looked at the stage, and even when He Zhang turned around again and bowed to the audience, he didn't fully regain his senses.

I haven't had such an experience for a long time, it is vivid, carefree and refreshing.Gu Changji felt that sitting here, the sea of ​​people was boiling, and it seemed that those people did not exist, only he was like a ghost, or a pebble that landed on the shore, or a stray bird.Whatever it was, he stayed here alone for thousands of years, waiting for someone to wake him up.

He had to admit that He Zhang's hands, the seemingly ordinary baton in his hand, seemed to awaken something.

He thought of the childish and romantic fantasies he had written on paper when he was in high school.

He wants to spend the rest of his life traveling around the world. Like Xu Xiake, it is best to write his experiences into a book and witness the world with his life.

That kind of thinking is certainly flattering, but also entrusted with [-]% trust, because he knows that the person who read the letter will definitely not laugh at him.

This idea was broken one day, he lost contact with the mysterious girl.She no longer replied to any of his letters, even if he did not give up, he still wrote again and again.

And the secret place where they communicated was discovered in this way.

When those anonymous letters filled with his friendship and dreams, which were too late to be read by the recipients, were scattered in front of everyone one by one, and even read aloud, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He wants to be angry, wants to be angry, wants to let himself lose control to get them back.

However he couldn't do it.

Because he is Young Master Gu.The mighty young master Gu in the school, the young master Gu who spends his time doing nothing but entertaining himself.

He couldn't stop it, so he chose to run away.

He went to the beach to blow the wind for an afternoon, got drunk alone, and had a cold for several days.

He didn't know how the matter was resolved in the end.Everyone's forgetfulness is very fast, and when he returned to school, no one mentioned this matter anymore.

Those bits and pieces of youthful spirit, his heart pounding, were discarded by him along with his shame, and thrown into the deep sea of ​​memory.

When he walked out of the venue, Xiao Xurong still invited him: "Want to have a drink?"

"Ah, no more," Gu Changji said, "Well... I might have something to do with my wife."

Xiao Xurong glanced at his ring, couldn't help recalling the scene of He Zhang holding his waist, nodded and said, "Okay, see you at the company later."

Gu Changji watched him leave by taking the subway, looking back at the interior of the theater, he hesitated for a moment.He kind of wanted to see He Zhang, but he faintly resisted.In the struggle between the hatchback, he finally decided to go home by himself first.

Before he could get through to the driver's phone, he was stopped.

"Gu Changji."

Gu Changji paused, hesitating whether to turn around, but He Zhang walked over by himself.

"Why are you walking so fast?" There was a lot of dissatisfaction in He Zhang's words. After looking around, but he didn't see his colleague, the dissatisfaction seemed to have disappeared, "My mother said let me take you back."

Anyway, they still share the same type of marriage certificate, so they still have to listen to what the mother-in-law says.

Gu Changji watched the scenery outside the window the whole time, thinking about something in a mess, without saying a word.He Zhang found it strange that the usual Gu Changji would play with his mobile phone even if he didn't want to talk.

But today he didn't move at all, like a Bodhisattva, the old god was sitting.

He Zhang suddenly felt a little upset.

He sometimes constantly reflects on whether he has been infected by his stepfather with a desire for control.The more he hated that extreme man, the more he worried that there was a shadow of that man in him.

Uncontrolled development is a barb that suddenly appears, sand that falls into the eye.

Just like the boy who appeared out of nowhere and seemed to be interested in Gu Changji, just like at this moment, he didn't know anything about Gu Changji's thoughts.

"Are you so unhappy about going to my house?"

Gu Changji still didn't look at him, he lowered his head and said, "Why, Auntie... Our mother is so beautiful, I'd be happy to take a closer look."

These words made He Zhang feel a little delicate.

"Then why are you acting like you're going to a funeral?" He Zhang said, "I don't know, I thought I kidnapped you."

Gu Changji finally took a look at him, but after just one look, he staggered away again.

"I am, I heard your concert today..."

At this time, at the intersection of traffic lights, He Zhang stopped the car, tilted his head and waited seriously for his next words: "Well, what's the matter?"

Gu Changji said, "You have a lot of female fans."

He Zhang hooked the corner of his mouth: "There are also many male fans."

Gu Changji doesn't know about male fans, but He Zhang's popularity with women is really good, it's a pity to be a pure gay guy.

"You..." Gu Changji thought of He Zhang's courage when he was in charge of the audience, and looked at his current appearance as a gentleman, and couldn't help asking, "Were you the chief conductor from the beginning?"

"No," He Zhang said, "No one is born to be the chief."

Gu Changji didn't know what happened tonight, he didn't want to continue talking with He Zhang, but at the same time he wanted to know about He Zhang's past, and couldn't suppress his curiosity to spy.

"You also studied conducting in Julia?"

"I learned composition," He Zhang said, "I learned a wider range of things, which is helpful for conducting."

Gu Changji's words opened the floodgate of memories for him.

"When I was a graduate student, I suspended my studies for a year and a half, and after being introduced by my supervisor, I went to Vienna as an assistant for a year."

"What about the remaining half a year?"

The car started again, and He Zhang said, "Be the deputy commander."

At that time, he had done a lot of things, and he was an assistant in name, but in fact he had to prepare for all possible situations on the scene and be dispatched by others at any time.

There are many masters in the theater, and there are also young people with outstanding abilities. If he wants to make his mark in a huge theater, he can't really act like a small character, always only know how to run errands.

He will observe the problems that arise during the rehearsal, the friction between the performers and the actors of operas and musicals.

The conductor often cannot blame the actors, nor can he reprimand the members of the orchestra, which will damage the overall atmosphere. He can only try his best to coordinate and solve the problem.

He tends to substitute himself. If he encounters such a situation, how to deal with it can be regarded as perfect.

That period of studying was quite difficult for him. Without the help provided by the school, he could only live in a cheap single room, immersed in work every day, and sometimes he could only eat one meal a day.

Gu Changji nodded.He knew that He Zhang's experience was far beyond his years.

In the past, he thought it was because He Zhang was born in a musical family, his parents had rich background, and he was influenced by the environment since he was a child, so he must be better than ordinary people.

But He Zhang's excellence is indeed the result of his hard work in grasping his greatest advantage.

Gu Changji remembered that in Wu Yuan's book, it was written that his relationship with He Zhang was always blocked by time zones and regions, and the time they really got together in six years did not exceed six months.

No wonder they broke up in the end.

"You said..." Gu Changji remembered that Wu Yuan said that he would pursue He Zhang again, but after more than half a month passed, he didn't hear a single sound, and he still felt strange, "If Wu Yuan came to ask you to get back together, why would you manage?"

He Zhang didn't speak, he was a little too lazy to explain.

The relationship that is over will let him end. He Zhang has never been a person who looks back, and he will never look back in this life.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Changji knew it was awkward.

In fact, he kind of hoped that He Zhang would answer, he could say anything, even a sarcastic remark.

Because in his heart he was not very happy to see the two of them get back together - a man who would write his ex into a book after breaking up was definitely not a good thing.

But when Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.

If He Zhang really has no more love for Wu Yuan, he can't say anything.

The unpleasant topic kept the two of them from talking.After arriving at He Yiren's house, Gu Changji breathed a sigh of relief, took off his seat belt, and suddenly remembered something.

Wouldn't that mean he had to meet He Zhang's stepfather again?

And that brother who was absent from He Zhang's wedding.

Gu Changji had heard of this family before, at the beginning of this year, Gu Shuo mentioned it.

But at that time he didn't know their relationship with He Zhang, he only knew that they had a good network.According to what He Zhang said now, that stepfather is not a good person either.

Gu Changji said, "I'm empty-handed, isn't it too good?"

"Only my mother is here," He Zhangping said flatly, "Don't be too particular, she doesn't care about it."

But when they got into the house, they realized it wasn't just that.

Not only He Zhang's stepfather was there, but Gu Shuo was also there.He Yiren went downstairs with a bottle of red wine, saw the two of them, and greeted them with a smile.

"Your father came back suddenly, and it's too late to tell you." He Yiren might have been somewhat worried, and when he came to pick up Gu Changji, he reached out and squeezed He Zhang's shoulder, "Are you tired? I asked someone to prepare a little supper , take a bath, and have a good rest at night."

Gu Changji said "Hey", sat next to Gu Shuo, and asked, "Old man, what are you doing here?"

"How do you talk to your dad?" Gu Shuo said, "I got a good thing. I heard that you are staying here tonight, so I thought of coming over to give it to you."

"What are you doing so mysteriously?"

Gu Changji looked at the wine in front of him: "Is it soaked in the claws of Tyrannosaurus rex, or the tail hair of mammoths?"

Gu Shuo thought he was talking too much, so he turned to He Zhang: "Azhang, give it a try."

It's hard for two young juniors to refute his old man's face.

So He Zhang and Gu Changji glanced at each other, wrinkled their noses and drank the wine.

"This wine is too strong, how can I drink it?" Gu Changji put it down after taking two sips, "Comrade Gu Shuo, you will be scolded by Wu Yingxiu when you go back like this."

Gu Shuo pretended to be mysterious and shook his head: "No, she also knows."

However, the wine is really delicious. At the first drink, it only feels spicy, but when it slowly returns to sweetness, there is a strong aroma of wine in the mouth.Gu Changji took another sip quietly, seeing that He Zhang's cup was almost bottomed out, so he asked, "What kind of wine?"

Gu Shuo: "Aphrodisiac wine."

"puff--"

He Zhang spit out the remaining sip of wine.
