(FR. Hilde Frank)

In the past few months, everything went smoothly. I went to Shanghai smoothly, found my favorite house, and handed over my old and new jobs smoothly.

Spring came smoothly.

I bought a new coffee machine online, and the trees outside the yard grew new green leaves. The house I rented was an old bungalow after renovation, with a small yard and garden, elegant and simple, with a strong European charm.

Before unpacking the coffee machine, I received a courier from Beijing. There was an invitation letter in a light blue envelope, which was sent by Ethan. He wrote in his own handwriting: Frank, my concert is about to start, maybe you already I heard some news, because I want to be in the best state, so I only have one show, April [-]th, in Nanjing, if you have time to listen to my singing, please send the information to the following email address when you receive the invitation, someone can help You handle it, of course, if you are worried about being a scammer, you can call me first.And, I haven't had much contact recently, I hope you are doing well in Shanghai.

After the text is over, let's look at the other side of the invitation letter. There is a not-so-exquisite oil painting printed there. It seems to be an impressionist style that emphasizes light and shadow. It may be painted by Ethan himself.

I didn't think it was an invitation sent by a scammer, but I still took this opportunity to call Ethan, and he said, "If I hadn't been too busy preparing for the concert, I would have gone to see you a long time ago. Your house over there is so nice. Want to have it."

I said, "Actually, it's still an old house in the urban area. It's beautiful, but it's not as spacious as I imagined."

"You live alone, how much space do you need... How are you doing? Are you busy?"

I told Ethan that I am very busy, but I still have time for leisure. I said: "The difference between the cities is quite big, but I can't feel the difference if I live for a few days. Shanghai is very good, but I still miss it. Beijing."

"When are you coming back?" Ethan asked.

I said, "Maybe go back again before June, if I have time."

I really didn't expect that Ethan would specially invite me to his concert. If his courier was a few days late, I might go to a friend to buy a media ticket, even if the price was increased.

Because I was so happy, I called Charlotte that night, showing off, and said, "Are you going to Nanjing to see Ethan's concert? I'm going too, and he said he would leave me a VIP."

"Of course I'm going," Charlotte said with a chuckle, "He also left a ticket for me, don't be so complacent, Ethan is a very good friend to his friends."

I don't want to be the most special one in Ethan's heart. After all, with our relationship, he has no reason to think so. I said: "If it was a year ago, he would definitely not invite me. Now my relationship with him has eased." That's why he thought of me."

Charlotte gave up resistance, from not being able to tolerate me and Ethan's intersection to reluctantly accepting the status quo. Later, we made an appointment to go to Ethan's concert together, planned the time, schedule, transportation, and searched everywhere for ideas for sending flowers .

On the day I arrived in Nanjing, what I thought most about was not what happened to me and Ethan, but that Ethan finally had his own concert. I remember when we first met, he got drunk after performing at his own expense and kept talking about going to the Bird’s Nest, Xiao Dome, Manhattan Madison Square Garden held concerts, and now, part of his ideal has come true, and his music has been known to more people.

On the morning of the concert, I contacted the local florist and took the flowers and tools to the hotel to make a bouquet with the help of Charlotte, who said she used to be a member of the flower arrangement club in elementary school.

Arriving at the venue before evening, Charlotte wore sunglasses and walked around the square with a natural tablecloth. She commented sharply on all the flowers, and then ran over and told me: "It doesn't look as good as ours."

I said: "If we had known that other people's ostentation was so big, we should have contacted a professional company to make flower walls. Have you seen Li Zishuo's? There are so many roses. I believe in you too much."

"Can Zuo Boyao hold my flowers in his arms, and can Huaqiang be held in his arms?" Charlotte stood beside me with her arms folded, and whispered, "Stop thinking about it.

The weather has really warmed up, the sunset is also very good, and so many people are here because of Ethan.

After hesitating, I still nodded, my mind was a little stuck, and I felt that everything around me was unreal. The halo of the setting sun shone on the dial of the watch, and later, the shadow of the person became very long.

On this particular night, when Charlotte and I appeared on the big screen, she quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no!"

This is today's "KissCam" time, maybe because we are all foreign faces, so the booing suddenly became louder, I looked at the camera hanging above, I hope, it will soon let us go up.

Charlotte was more anxious than I was to get rid of it. She hugged my arm scribbled and said, "I'm sorry, we are good friends and can't kiss."

"Yes, good friends, sorry." I said.

No one at the scene could hear me and Charlotte, but it shouldn't be difficult to decipher such a simple lip language. I knew that Ethan was watching everything in the middle of the stage. At this time, the concert was halfway through and the most popular track was about to usher in Undoubtedly, this interactive session created a wanton and enthusiastic atmosphere in advance.

"That..." Ethan's voice was filtered by the speaker, and it became different from usual. After staring at it for a long time, he suddenly said, "The two who kissed just now are also good friends. Today, not only couples can kiss."

Ethan's voice fell, and even louder cheers erupted at the scene.

There was a sudden stalemate in the scene. Charlotte kept poking me with her arm and said, "Kiss? Don't think too much, I don't have any thoughts."

"He did it on purpose," I said.

Charlotte leaned over and whispered in my ear, "I'll pretend to kiss you and see how he reacts."

I turned my head and gave Charlotte a wink. She put her arm on my shoulder and made a gesture of kissing me. In an instant, the screaming and booing in the scene were like breaking the roof.

Charlotte's mouth was less than five centimeters from my face, she stopped moving, we sat down naturally, and the joke was over, I spread my hands at the camera, meaning: Look, it really can't be done The kissing kind of friend.

Ethan suffocated his laughter so much that he was almost speechless. A few seconds later, the big screen shot was cut to him, and he said, "Okay, you two are my friends, we know each other, let's make a joke and embarrass them. It’s really a friendship and I can testify.”

At this time, Ethan has changed into the costume for the next song, which is different from the previous one. He is wearing white short sleeves, the hem of the short sleeves is tucked into wide-leg jeans, his hair is blown casually, and he looks light and beautiful .

The band accompaniment started, and Ethan took the guitar from the staff and stood behind Limic.

He said: "I struggled with this song for a long time. I didn't plan to put it in the album at the beginning, but I hurried to finish it. But after thinking twice, I decided to share it with you in the form of a new song. This is my This is the first time I sing "A Lover Is Indispensable", I hope you like it."

The white lights swayed down and landed on the auditorium and Ethan's body. On the big screen, he seemed to be plated with a beautiful halo, and the edges of the white clothes were feathered. Ethan raised his eyes after looking at the guitar.

He looked at countless people in the audience, and I was looking at him.
