Overtone

Facing the phone screen, Xiao Cheng's movements froze for a moment, and then he mouthed to Qi Ye: Uncle and aunt's phone number?

"You can also call your parents." Qi Ye pulled Xiao Cheng to sit down and turned off the mute button.

It could be said that Professor Xiao was either very aura outside or extremely strict in the academy, but in front of Qi Ye's parents, he was like a student being questioned, so obedient as to be a different person.

Seeing his expression, Qi Ye was really happy.

Seeing Xiao Cheng sitting upright, Qi Ye took the mobile phone, showed his face on it and said, "Okay, Mom and Dad, let's talk slowly when we get back, we're sweating from nervousness."

"Hey, it's okay." Lao Qi rushed to say, "Today is Xiao Xiao's birthday, so I won't talk about anything else. I'll give you a red envelope."

Xiao Cheng quickly responded: "Uncle, that's too polite, I'll send it."

After finishing speaking, he matched Qi Ye's mouth shape: consciously.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds and couldn't help laughing.

In the end, Xiao Cheng sent out several red envelopes in a row, some specially for Qi Ye's parents, and some for speculation. Anyway, Qi Ye coaxed them to send out a lot.

"Xiao Xiao, when are you coming back?" Lao Qi said suddenly before hanging up the phone.

Qi Ye: "Dad, I'm still on the sidelines, why don't you ask me?"

Ms. Zhao said, "It's boring to ask you."

Xiao Cheng listened to their conversation, smiled and said softly: "Uncle and aunt, we will be back during the summer vacation."

Not to mention, the word "we"-sometimes brings not only the commitment and affirmation of the relationship, but also a sense of stability, and it will not work without one person.

After the birthday was over, Xiao Cheng drove Xiao Jing back, and Qi Ye continued to organize the unpacked luggage last night.

Put the music score that you usually play with on the shelf, besides that, there are some accessories for playing guitar, Qi Ye piled them all there.

And the immortal flowers that Xiao Cheng sent were placed on the bedside table by him.

I don't think it's a big deal when I see him every day in the bungalow, but I can't think about it after living here for a long time last month.

After tidying up, Qi Ye put the unfinished cakes into the refrigerator, and put a small label saying that they should be eaten tomorrow.

Xiao Cheng didn't pay attention to this, he was so busy that he didn't even eat, so Qi Ye was worried about it.

They are still in the previous cohabitation mode.

When Xiao Cheng has work, he will work first, and Qi Ye will watch movies or listen to music with earphones next to him, and when everything is over, he will hug him for a while, and then lean on the bed to chat.

Qi Ye rested his head on Xiao Cheng's lap while his book was still spread out.

It didn't have the attractive masculine fragrance on weekdays, but Qi Ye also liked the light fragrance after bathing. He looked up for a while, then turned over comfortably, and read a book while sniffing.

Xiao Cheng suddenly asked: "Look at these, do uncles and aunts like it?"

Qi Ye took the phone and watched a series of order records with joy.

—— Bird’s nest, American ginseng tea, and milk and fruit, it seems to have moved to a supermarket.

"You buy so much, they won't even eat it." Qi Ye continued to lie down, and Xiao Cheng rubbed his temples with moderate pressure, so comfortable that he squinted his eyes.

"It doesn't matter if uncles and aunts use it or not. I'm just being careful here." Xiao Cheng said softly, "I'll make proper preparations before I go back for the summer vacation."

"No need, that's too polite."

Qi Ye was about to return the phone to him when he caught a glimpse of the previous order out of the corner of his eye - the purchased nutritional products were the same, and the recipients were Xiao Cheng's parents.

Xiao Cheng looked at Qi Ye and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay." Qi Ye looked away from the phone and returned it to Xiao Cheng, "You can take another picture."

"what?"

"In the posting group, tell your parents to be careful that there will be a courier delivery in the next few days." Qi Ye said, "They must be happy."

Xiao Cheng shook his head and said no, there is nothing to say about this.

Qi Ye said yes, and he sent one instead.

Maybe he has never experienced family groups, Xiao Cheng is very cautious, he has to think about a word for a long time, and sometimes he has to ask Qi Ye if it is okay to write like this.

Qi Ye helped pretend to check.

In fact, you can post it any way you want. In terms of interpersonal communication, Xiao Cheng has already been able to handle it well in the orchestra and academy all these years.

But he knew Xiao Cheng's temper, so he could just try to feel at ease. In other words, if he could make up for it, he would make up for it. Qi Ye always thought so.

The next morning, Qi Ye received a call. Zhou Qun said that he had finished work early recently, and asked him to have a drink. By the way, he asked Professor Xiao if he would come.

Qi Ye said that Professor Xiao was busy evaluating jobs, so he came alone.

Zhou Qun just laughed on the phone, talking about what to do on behalf of the family, he had to punish himself for a few drinks when he came over.

When I got there in the evening, about ten people opened a box, and it was noisy.As soon as he saw Qi Ye coming in, Zhou Qun called out, "Oh, here we are, Old Qi."

There was a moment of silence in the box, and then it became more noisy.

Some of the people who made an appointment to drink with him were their partners who had gone to the villa before, and some of the staff who had acquainted with Zhou Qun in the background before.

Qi Ye didn't hide his relationship with Professor Xiao ever since that time in the shopping mall, and there were quite a few people around Zhou Qun who knew about it.

They are all young people who accept their ideas.

So he booed a few times and drank some wine, like brothers who have been dating for several years, Qi Ye followed suit a little bit.

After eating and drinking enough, a group of people started arguing about drinking orders, so Qi Ye ordered a cup of green tea and watched from the sidelines.

"It's been a long time since we got together." Zhou Qun stood beside Qi Ye, still holding a beer in his hand.

Qi Ye just laughed: "Isn't this here?"

"You call taking time out." Zhou Qun said, "If Professor Xiao doesn't work overtime tonight, I don't think you will come. Will you come over for a drink next weekend?"

Qi Ye shook his head: "I have to go to Anshan next week."

As soon as Zhou Qun heard "Yo", he approached Qi Ye and smiled, "Going to honeymoon with Professor Xiao?"

Qi Ye laughed and cursed, and then drank water without saying a word. Zhou Qun couldn't help laughing at this, "Why are you so shy? I don't want to talk about this."

"Drink your bar." Qi Ye smiled and pushed the wine glass towards Zhou Qun.

After a few more arguments, Qi Ye snapped his fingers and asked the waiter to bring over a few more bottles of cold beer.

Zhou Qun really took a few sips to save face, and said: "Brother is happy and I am happy too."

Qi Ye laughed and lit a cigarette.

After a few seconds, the wine glass was empty, Zhou Qun got serious, and asked in a low voice, "Is everything done?"

Qi Ye was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, he was silent for a few seconds: "It should."

This made Zhou Qun shake his head: "The forest is big enough to have all kinds of birds. If he comes again, he will call the police directly. You will save the previous IPs as evidence."

Qi Ye said "hmm": "Actually, I haven't looked for it since then, so I guess I'm being honest."

"You have to be careful." Zhou Qun reminded.

"That's right." Qi Ye nodded and drank the last half cup of green tea with a cigarette in his hand.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Qun drank too.

But how to put it, after all, he has been working in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he also has some experience. After a while, he reminded Qi Ye: "The key point of this matter is whether he deleted the photos, or whether it was just for a while. Concentrate, you have to beware of what he does next."

Seeing that it was a bit boring to mention this, Zhou Qun threw another can of beer to him: "Don't think too much, I'll just talk about it casually."

"I didn't think much about it." Qi Ye smiled, "Brother cares about me, I have to drink this cup."

"If you don't come, how can you have a drink?" Zhou Qun quickly put away his previous expression, put his arms around Qi Ye's shoulders, and smiled wickedly, "How about a few more drinks?"

Qi Ye smiled and said no, he won't be able to find Professor Xiao's car when he gets drunk.

Today is a game of drinking and getting together. The drinking order is not enjoyable until the end, so the waiter is asked to plug in the cable on the TV, and a group of people will sing again.

Qi Ye nestled on the sofa and sent a message to Xiao Cheng.

-Qi Ye: Is it over?

-Xiao Cheng: Well, I just finished the meeting.

-Qi Ye: Then I'll pack some for you later, let's go home and eat.

-Xiao Cheng: Good.

Xiao Cheng's news is always very simple, and it is really different from Qi Ye's.

Seeing that he is usually very nervous and cheerful, and when talking to others, Qi Ye always sends out a lot of emojis. To put it bluntly, he is still afraid of embarrassment.

After calling the waiter to pack two dishes, Qi Ye took the plastic box and said that he had to leave first.

As soon as everyone heard this, they all booed, saying whether they were going to accompany Professor Xiao, and it was not as simple as the literal meaning when the alcohol was up.

When going out, Xiao Cheng was waiting in the garage.

Qi Ye took the parking ticket from the hotel and went down, got in the car and said, "You let me out."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Cheng asked with a smile.

"It's not that kid Zhou Qun, but also Yang Dong and the others." Qi Ye patted his face, "I can't take it anymore, I had to drink several cups for you before I can leave."

Seeing Xiao Cheng drive out, Qi Ye rolled down the car window again to let the wind blow in: "Hands are numb from drinking."

Speaking of alcohol, it's true.

When I got home, the courier who followed Xiao Cheng to unpack the camping was dizzy, and kept giggling.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Cheng was amused: "Take a bath and sleep."

"That won't work." Qi Ye's tone was like a child's, "We're going to Anshan soon, if we don't tidy up, it will be too late."

Recently, they have been busy with this matter. After the birthday, the luggage has to be packed, and the tents and hammocks are all packed and put on the balcony.

A few days later, Qi Ye called the boss, talking about the weekend off, and then talked about Lin Wen again.

The boss said that the bar recently recruited a newcomer, who also graduated from the Conservatory of Music, so he followed him when he had nothing to do, and learned to control the field. When Qi Ye went to Anshan, he would officially go to work.

Qi Ye agreed.

In fact, the level of newcomers is not bad, anyone who plays professionally can pull out any one can support the stage.

But what is lacking is on-the-spot experience. You have to overcome your shyness when you go on stage, especially in the bar area, where there are many emergencies, and the quality of the guests you meet every night is also a matter of luck.

Qi Ye intends to teach him these coping methods in the next few days. He was bullied and harassed when he was in the bar in the early years. Although he is guaranteed now, Qi Ye still strives to make it easier for those who work in the industry later.

The same is true today.

Lin Wen asked for leave temporarily, and the newcomer didn't have the confidence to take the stage, so he went to save the scene.

Before getting out of the car, Qi Ye showed Xiao Cheng the countdown on his phone: "There are three days left before Anshan."

Xiao Cheng pulled the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and turned on his mobile phone - it was also a countdown, and it also said that there were three days left.

When Qi Ye saw it, he leaned against the car door and laughed, accidentally bumping the rearview mirror.

The countdown was not announced in advance, but from this point of view, they were all waiting, like children waiting for a spring outing.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Cheng, Qi Ye walked into the alley with the guitar on his back. Before he reached the bar, he saw Lin Wen push the door and enter with a letter in her hand.

When Qi Ye entered the bar, Lin Wen was standing at the bar counter.

I haven't seen her for a while, she is obviously haggard, and her long hair is not tied up.

Seeing that her eye circles were red, Qi Ye asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Lin Wen smiled reluctantly, and put the resignation letter on the bar, "Brother Qi, I was taken care of before, I wish you success in your future work and everything goes smoothly."

Qi Ye was stunned: "Why did you say goodbye directly, what happened?"

Lin Wen didn't reply after hearing this, she stroked her hair back, her beautiful appearance of playing the guitar was gone, and tears fell down after a while.

As soon as Xiao Chen came over with the shaker, she panicked when she saw it, and quickly gave her a tissue.

Facing Qi Ye, Xiao Chen opened his mouth and said nothing: It's about the object.

It wasn't until Qi Ye realized that she had heard Lin Wen say that her partner was also a guitarist, and she seemed quite famous.

The two older men didn't know how to comfort the little girl, and they were in a hurry for a while. Finally, it was Lin Wen who came over by herself: "It's okay."

"Really?" Qi Ye handed her a tissue again.

Hearing her answer vaguely: "Yeah."

"Drink a glass of water slowly." Qi Ye said as he put down his guitar.

The place where the water is poured is by the orchestra pit, the self-service machine, Qi Ye put the cup on, reached out and pressed the water button.

Before the water came out, the wind chime rang softly at this moment.

A visitor walked in the door.

This is not something that deserves more attention. After all, the bar has also transformed, and many people come to chat and drink afternoon tea.

Qi Ye didn't pay much attention, he stood with his back turned, watching the machine come out of the water.

Qi Ye bent over and blew on the hot boiling water, and was about to pick up the cup when Xiao Chen's voice came from the bar: "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is Mr. Qi Ye in?" The guest said indifferently, "I want to talk to him about something."

Listening to the voice, it was an elderly woman.

Qi Ye paused.

After a few seconds, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath as if he knew something.

The incident of being bumped into by accident last month didn't show on his face, he turned to look at Mother Xiao, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you... looking for me?"
