Prohibition of losing contact

This strange and subtle emotion softened Zhou Qingbai's whole body, his brows and eyes stretched, and there was a bit of tenderness and softness in his smile.

He pushed forward, and after getting the answer, he didn't let go of Mr. Pei's poor shirt sleeve, but hooked his fingers slightly, and hooked his fingertips more tightly to the small gap in his cuff.

Pei You only felt that the cuffs were tight. He lowered his head and glanced at Zhou Qingbai's movements, only to feel that the cool fingertips of the other party just brushed against his wrist, leaving a wet and itchy touch.

"you……"

Pei You was vaguely aware of this somewhat subtle atmosphere, and subconsciously wanted to say something, but he didn't think about how to speak, he just got stuck at the beginning.

Fortunately, before he could rack his brains to come up with a sequel, he heard the music in the speaker suddenly cut off, and there was a slight electric sound from the speaker.

This sudden noise interrupted their thoughts, Zhou Qingbai and Pei You's attention was diverted at the same time, and they turned to look at the source of the sound.

The scale of this small bar cannot be compared with places like BlackBar. The place is not big. Once you enter the door, you will see a simple hall of tens of square meters. There is only a low platform of a few square meters in the deepest part of the bar, which barely looks like a stage.

The combined sound system was placed next to the stage. When Zhou Qingbai came in, there was a stand-up microphone standing alone on the stage, but no one was performing, and it was probably only on weekends that someone would come to sing.

But now, the bartender at the bar didn't know when he stood on the small stage. He clapped the microphone in his hand and cleared his throat.

"Everyone—" The young man on the stage said with a smile, "The time is just right, why don't we come and play a game."

He paused as he spoke, and quickly exchanged glances with a table in the corner of the bar, then smiled and said: "There is a temporary lottery in the bar tonight, and we will draw lots according to tonight's order number." , the lucky ones in the draw will be free of charge for consumption at the same table tonight - but there is a condition, the winner needs to perform a show on stage, and only when everyone is satisfied can they be exempted."

"Then what if the program is not satisfactory." Someone cheered.

"Then punish truth or dare." The bartender said with a smile, "How about it?"

Zhou Qingbai raised his eyebrows meaningfully, and looked in the direction of the corner clearly.

There happened to be a man at that table who had hinted at Pei You for a night out. People in the town knew each other well. It is estimated that the bartender had their permission to add such an "event" temporarily.

But this game is innocuous, not harsh, and doesn't look like an annoyance after being rejected, but more like a little prank among the same kind of temptation.

So Zhou Qingbai didn't say anything, but picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine silently.

The bartender looked around the two of them, as if he was afraid that the two unfamiliar faces would say no, so he clapped his hands hurriedly and motioned the waiter to hand over a fake lucky draw box.

The small box was sealed on all sides, leaving only a lottery slot. The bartender reached in and quickly took out a note from inside.

"Tonight's order number is—32!" he said.

Pei You was slightly taken aback.

Not surprisingly, this black box lottery fell on Pei You's head impartially. Zhou Qingbai, who had seen everything through, pursed his lips and giggled, and couldn't help but take another sip of his wine.

There were a few booing sounds in the bar, and the music on the stereo was resumed, which heated up the atmosphere in the venue.

Everyone present probably knew the established result, so they all turned their heads and looked in the direction of the bar as if watching the excitement.

Pei You probably never thought that such a one-in-tenth probability would fall on him impartially, he was startled for a moment, and then a bit embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

"Want to play?" Zhou Qingbai didn't look at anyone else, he just stared into Pei You's eyes and asked knowingly.

Just looking at his eyes, Pei You knew that Zhou Qingbai was interested.But he didn't have any outstanding specialties other than studying well since he was a child, let alone performing publicly in such an unfamiliar environment.

Pei You didn't hang out in the flowers, and rarely came out to play, he couldn't let go on such occasions, and subconsciously shook his head.

"No more." Pei You said softly, "Anyway, it's not bad for this little waiver—"

Before he could finish the word "money", Zhou Qingbai reached out and squeezed his chin, stopping him from shaking his head.

He moved very quickly, and as soon as he touched the point again, before Pei You could react, he saw that Zhou Qingbai had already used the cover of the wine glass to take away the small ticket slip under his wine glass without any trace.

"Just for fun." Zhou Qingbai said with a smile.

Pei You: "..."

Pei You finally found that Zhou Qingbai's mood seemed a little high. It seemed that since the answer just now, he had been maintaining a little imperceptible excitement, eager to do anything.

While speaking, Zhou Qingbai drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, stretched his legs and got off the high stool, shaking the receipt in his hand in front of the public.

"...Are you going to perform bartending?" Pei You asked.

"No." Zhou Qingbai shook his head, winked at him, and said with a smile, "I don't use other people's utensils."

After drinking strong alcohol, the scorching feeling spread from the throat all the way to the chest. Zhou Qingbai was excited and suddenly in a surprisingly good mood. He couldn't help but lightly hooked Pei You's cuff again.

"Show me a hand." Zhou Qingbai said softly.

As he spoke, he walked towards the small stage, and the bartender subconsciously gave way to him. Zhou Qingbai bent down without saying a word, and picked up an acoustic guitar from the side of the sound system.

Seeing this, the bartender directly swallowed the question about "show" or "truth or dare", and walked away from the side of the small stage with a long wink.

Zhou Qingbai didn't even look at the people below, hooked his toes onto a high stool next to him, dragged it towards him, and sat on it with his legs stretched out.

The height of the vertical microphone was just right, Zhou Qingbai lowered his head slightly, and casually plucked the strings twice.

The frequency of use of the acoustic guitar is not high, and it is more like a cosmetic product. The tone of two strings is not accurate, and it sounds a little stagnant.

But Zhou Qingbai didn't care too much, he moved the microphone a little closer, then swept the strings, and hummed a very gentle tune.

Before that, Pei You never knew that Zhou Qingbai could sing.

With one foot on the ground and the other on the pedal under the high stool, the pitch-black acoustic guitar rests on his lap, making gentle chord sounds with Zhou Qingbai's plucking movements.

"If I had to live my life without you get me."

When Zhou Qingbai sang the first line, Pei You suddenly recognized the song, and also remembered the movie he had watched a long time ago.

The classic movie with this song as the theme song tells a very pure love story, which has nothing to do with the world, and only has to do with the word "love".

Pei You didn't know if Zhou Qingbai chose this song on a whim or for other reasons, but he heard Zhou Qingbai's voice, and he always felt that this song was sung by him with a very special flavor.

When Zhou Qingbai sang, the expression on his face was very focused. He held the guitar, changed the chords slightly, and hummed a very soft tone.

There are many cover versions of this classic English love song, but Pei You has never heard someone sing it so tenderly.

What's more, to Pei You's surprise, Zhou Qingbai's English is very good. When singing English songs, the ending sound will be slightly elongated, bringing a sticky feeling.

The lights on the stage changed slowly and gently, and the soft light-colored spotlight hit Zhou Qingbai's side, only illuminating half of his side face, making him appear mysterious and dangerous.

The lights off the court had all been turned off, and Pei You sat in the dark, staring intently at Zhou Qingbai's figure, as if he had returned to the day when he first saw Zhou Qingbai at BlackBar.

I don't know if it was the spirits or some other reason, Zhou Qingbai's ears and neck were covered with a thin layer of powder. He lowered his eyes and plucked the strings in his hand intently, looking with an indescribable charm.

Subconsciously, Pei You couldn't help but be attracted by this mysterious and unknown feeling. He only felt that the person in front of him was familiar yet unfamiliar, as if he was close at hand, but also as if he was far away in the sky.

The pitch of that acoustic guitar was not accurate, this jerky and slightly misplaced pitch cast a layer of rough reality on Zhou Qingbai's voice, Pei You couldn't stop looking at him, feeling his heart pounding Jump straight, as if something is about to come out.

The tune of this song happened to be in the music library of the bar. When the song was halfway through, this retro and gentle tune suddenly flowed from the stereo, which happened to coincide with the rhythm of Zhou Qingbai's ending.

The original singer and Zhou Qingbai's voices are intertwined, evoking two completely different emotions.

When the song was about to end, Zhou Qingbai suddenly raised his head, his eyes pierced through the darkness, and fell on Pei You with precision.

Pei You's eyes collided with him in mid-air, Zhou Qingbai clearly didn't see anything in the darkness, but he still seemed to be aware of it, subconsciously hooked the corners of his lips, showing a light smile.

This smile was completely accepted by Pei You, he pursed his lips and smiled, and couldn't help turning the wine glass in his hand.

Perhaps because he was distracted, Zhou Qingbai's hand paused, and he made a wrong sound briefly.

This sound was very obvious under the foreshadowing of the original song. Zhou Qingbo paused, put down the guitar, and sang the last two lines a cappella.

When the end sound fell, someone from the audience shouted hello.

Immediately afterwards, a man's voice came from the corner, with a hint of unknown meaning.

"Did you choose this song?" He asked, "If it were you, would you choose the worldly perspective or freedom."

It was dark under the stage, Zhou Qingbai couldn't see clearly, and he didn't know who was asking the question, but he consciously attributed this question to the link of "Truth or Dare after Unsatisfactory Performance", so he smiled lightly With one sound, he still answered.

"I choose the latter." Zhou Qingbai said.
