Overtone

The announcement period is always a bit difficult. Ever since the announcement of the proposed appointment of the professor came out, Qi Ye hasn't had a good night's sleep.

The mobile phone is on, the laptop is on the table, and the tablet is connected to WeChat, for fear that something will happen again.

But time flies too.

Speaking of one month, it was actually converted into four weeks, and it passed in a blink of an eye.Qi Ye spent the summer with his parents, and now it was near the end of August, and the audition day was quietly approaching.

Qi Ye called Xiao Cheng while packing his luggage.

The last time no one accepted takeaway, it was because Xiao Cheng was working overtime at the Conservatory of Music, and the last time the guard said he didn't ask much about it, Qi Ye changed the bungalow to the default address in August.

"Have you had lunch yet?" Qi Ye put the newly bought picks and spare strings into the bag, "How about ordering one for you?"

"No need." Xiao Cheng said, "I've eaten."

Qi Ye said "hmm", and said cautiously: "Then meet your parents... is it next month?"

"Yes." Xiao Cheng said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Last time, the sudden trending search disrupted the plan, and after that, things flooded in. When they were all dealt with, they thought that Xiao Cheng's parents could deal with it coldly, but in the end they even took the initiative to call Xiao Cheng and said they wanted to see each other. one side.

This matter has dragged on for a long time, but I have to face it anyway, and there is no way to hide from it.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Ye went to the balcony to smoke a cigarette before going out.

In the afternoon, I made an appointment with a tattoo artist. This shop has been open in the county for more than ten years. It didn't do any special marketing and publicity, and it only relied on technology to make it famous.

Quite a lot of customers lined up for more than half a month, and some came from other cities to find their home to make pictures.

Qi Ye planned to do one before the audition.

The tattoo parlor is hidden on the second floor of the building.

After registering at the security room on the first floor, Qi Ye walked up the dark stairs.

There are many things in the small shop, but it is very tidy, and there are many art paintings on the shelves.When Qi Ye entered, several customers in the store were sitting on the sofa picking out pictures, while two assistants were busy at the side.

Seeing Qi Ye coming over, he called Brother Zhang, saying that the reserved guest had come.

The tattoo artist looked in his early thirties, wearing a black T-shirt, with letters tattooed on his arm, looking neat and capable.

"Look at the line draft." Brother Zhang handed the tablet to Qi Ye, "There are elements of violin and rose, and I followed your request."

"Not bad." Qi Ye was quite straightforward, "That's all."

Brother Zhang glanced at him, and took out the tools sealed in plastic film: "The neck part may hurt a little."

"It's fine, just toss about it as you like." Qi Ye bit his hair tie, brushed his hair a few times and tied it up, exposing the nape of his neck.

The idea of ​​wanting to tattoo a violin is not a day or two. After the decision is made, I make an appointment and pre-design the line draft.

The pattern of the violin is pure black lines, smooth and simple, and close to the violin, there are a few brilliant red roses, Qi Ye didn't ask to fill it in, just a few strokes will do.

In this way, you can’t see it when you don’t tie your hair up, but you can see a violin when you tie it up, and those roses are hidden under the neckline.

The strong light shone on the skin, stinging with burning heat, like a rose blooming from the desert.

After it was covered with plastic film, Qi Ye bowed his head and sent a voice message to Xiao Cheng, saying that the tattoo is done, and he will take pictures for him when he goes home.Brother Zhang on the side tidied up the utensils and asked, "Boyfriend?"

Qi Ye nodded: "Yes."

Maybe they got along very well just now, or they thought Qi Ye was a pleasant person, Brother Zhang said yes, and he could get a discount when his boyfriend came over in the future.

Qi Ye smiled and said yes, if possible, he must be pulled over.

When we left, it was already evening.

Although it is not a big picture, this kind of meticulous work still takes time. In addition, I also consulted about tattoo removal for a while, so it was delayed for another half an hour.

I was really ignorant back then, and recklessly followed the trend to tattoo a little blue dragon on my arm, but now I regret it, thinking that the pattern is meaningless and bluffing.But Xiao Cheng seemed to like it very much. When he was intimate, except for the earrings, he would always bite this area, making his skin red and swollen.

But Qi Ye definitely didn't have the time to get his tattoo washed several times.

The county is small and there are not many reliable tattoo parlors. It was not until I went to City C where the audition took place on the weekend that I found a few, and recorded them all in the memo.

According to the auditions, primary elections, regional competitions, knockout rounds and finals, if he didn't need to move his place to record all of them here, he would indeed be able to free up some time for the past.

When we got to the hotel and opened the window, Qi Ye flipped through the music score while smoking a cigarette, when the phone rang.

Xiao Cheng called.

Leaning against the iron window of the bungalow, he also lit a Marlboro.

"The high-speed train was delayed for a while today." Qi Ye said, "It's already night here."

Xiao Cheng: "I'll order you something to eat, don't be hungry."

When he left his parents' house, Qi Ye sent the hotel address to Xiao Cheng, and Xiao Cheng didn't hide the itinerary, and sent him a screenshot of the air ticket.

How should I put it, I was a little guilty when I sent the address, and for some reason I remembered that I went home two months ago.

At that time, both parties probably hid the knot in their hearts. I don't know if Xiao Cheng has relieved it. Anyway, he felt that he still had some inexplicable emotions.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Cheng said that there will be a tour starting in November, and city C may be included in the tour cities.

Qi Ye responded with a smile.

Everything seemed to be arranged, and it was clear at a glance.

When the audition finished singing and came out, Qi Ye hadn't sent a message, so Xiao Cheng called him to ask about the situation.

"There's no way the results will come out so quickly." Qi Ye said while wearing earphones while walking into the hotel, "We have to wait three working days."

After a while, Qi Ye asked, "When is the flight ticket?"

Xiao Cheng paused for a few seconds and said, "I just received a notice from the courtyard that there is an impromptu meeting."

Qi Ye let out a soft "ah".

"It's okay." Qi Ye calmed down immediately, "If you can make it to the finals, you can do your work."

Xiao Cheng hesitated to speak.

Turning the phone screen upside down on the table, Qi Ye lit a cigarette: "After that, I have to communicate with your parents... and then the concert?"

Hearing Xiao Cheng's "hmm", his tone was very deep.

Qi Ye pretended to smile and said it was all right.

It's not that I haven't experienced this kind of interruption of my plan. I have to get used to this kind of last resort, and there will be disappointments, but people always have to look forward.But Xiao Cheng later said that he would definitely come here once, even if he went back and forth on the same day.

This was a tone Qi Ye had never heard before. It seemed different from his usual calmness, and there was something else hidden in it.

Although moved in his heart, Qi Ye didn't agree to this sentence very much, and passed by with a sloppy eye.

It's a lie to say that you don't get emotional. It's one thing to get used to it and understand it, but it's another thing to untangle your emotions.I finally waited for two months, and now I can't see him again. It's normal to have a stone in my heart.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Ye took out the cigarette case again. The cigarettes he brought to the talent show just now were crumpled.

Lifting the cigarette cover with one hand, seeing that there was only one cigarette left, Qi Ye threw the box on the table and lay down on the bed with a cigarette in his mouth.

I don't want to turn over the sheet music, and I don't have much energy to play the guitar. This is the current state.

After three days of lying dead like this, the audition list came out, and Qi Ye advanced to the preliminary round without any suspense.This time, it was different from the audition for Big Waves Washing the Sands. The organizer specially pulled a group and posted the precautions over and over again.

It's not that Qi Ye has never participated in this type of draft, and has participated in quite a few before, so he is quite experienced.However, this time it can be seen that the host is really proud.

In the preliminary competition, hotels and pick-ups were arranged for the contestants, and there were also special meet-and-greets to accumulate popularity.

After avoiding it for two months, and being in the south, it seems that the hot search thing has faded away.

But in the middle of the night, Qi Ye would still be awakened.

As long as you are stared at by the camera for a while, or asked more questions by entertainment reporters, you will hardly be able to sleep that night, and you will have repeated nightmares.

And it's the same today.

After being promoted in the preliminary competition, Qi Ye refused the invitation of the director team and did not go to the celebration party because the reporter followed him for a long time.

He walked quickly all the way to the hotel and got on the elevator. Qi Ye closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief until the door was closed and left a corner alone. Then, seeing the empty room, he tried his best to adapt to the image in front of him. .

For some reason, he always thought that going back would make him feel better, but often the moment he recovered, he would think of the hot searches and articles he had talked about all night before.

Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

Then the rain poured down, mercilessly wet the whole city.

Qi Ye closed his eyes and curled up on the sofa, his arms hugging his legs tightly.

The light in the room was not turned on, and the only light was brought by the mobile phone at the side, but it did not have any effect at all. Qi Ye ignored it, stroking the tattoo on the back of his neck again and again, breathing heavily and rapidly.

I was in the county town for the past two months, and I didn’t think it was a big deal when I was around, but now that I’m back under the spotlight, those hidden things will turn into nightmares, and they will be dragged down in the middle of the night.

Tight nerves always bring endless fatigue, and tiredness can make people fall asleep in a second.

But Qi Ye didn't want to sleep, or didn't dare to sleep.

With trembling hands, he called Xiao Cheng.

As if something was blocked, Qi Ye called out to Professor Xiao almost in a hoarse voice, and then, all the calmness and rationality built before, as well as suppressed emotions, disappeared the moment he heard Xiao Cheng's voice.

It was raining heavily outside the window, and it was pouring in along the side. He said slowly and helplessly: "——I'm afraid."
