Pilot

"The Meteorological Observatory announced at 10 a.m. on Monday that the highest temperature in our city is expected to reach above 24°C in the next 35 hours. Please pay attention to prevent heatstroke and cool down."

This was the first push message Shi Ye saw after turning on his phone.

The second push message popped up immediately, saying:

"The lead singer of the famous mainland rock band Aviator Shen Zui committed suicide at home on July 7. Some insiders broke the news that Shen Zui had been abusing drugs for many years and was under great mental stress. It was rumored that he was oppressed by the leader Shi Ye..."

Shi Ye flicked the phone aside after halfway through reading it, and went to take a shower.

The weather is hot and there is no air conditioner in the house, so he wakes up in sweat every day.Although it is fatal to have no air conditioner at home in this weather, Shi Ye really doesn't want to go back to the apartment. He needs to live in this kind of neighborhood with a sense of life and listen to the excitement around him, which makes him feel that he is alive and not dead.

While wiping my hair, my phone kept ringing.Shi Ye didn't want to pick it up at first, so he went to drink a glass of water, and then turned on the small fan in the living room to blow on it.The phone rang for a long time before it stopped, but only a few seconds later it rang again.

The room was very quiet, the default monotone ringtone plus the buzzing of the vibration made Shi Ye feel very bad.

He shook his head, feeling dizzy... Drunk overnight, it was very uncomfortable, and the weather also made Shi Ye very irritable.

Summer is the season Shi Ye hates the most.Anyway, in the past few years, when it came to midsummer, he was like going crazy, and he would get angry every now and then.

When he picked up the phone, he couldn't help venting his anger at his agent: "Call one after another, think it's not hot enough, why don't you rush me to have some firecrackers?"

"How dare I," Niu Xiaojun said cautiously, "I just remind you not to forget to come to the company later."

Shi Ye rubbed his temples, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Oh, that's it. Bull Demon King, go steal your wife's plantain fan first and fan the high temperature warning for me before I go out."

In this weather, don't you just crash into the Flame Mountain when you go out?

In fact, Shiye is feeling uncomfortable all over at the moment, drunk and dizzy.But Shi Ye was twisted, the more uncomfortable he was, the more he wanted to make himself sound normal.

"That won't work, don't make fun of me! You must come!" Niu Xiaojun was anxious, "There are 81 or [-] difficulties on this road. You have to come here. Although the current situation is bad, there will always be a new turning point. We Still have to look forward..."

Shi Ye interrupted him, "I not only look forward, I look in all directions, not one-sided like you."

"Okay, you have eyes on Shi Ye's ass... Hey, hey, you're not poor anymore!" Niu Xiaojun didn't know whether he should praise Shi Ye at this time, and he could still be joking and talkative, "Okay, come here quickly, trust me, it's a good thing !"

Ye Ye thought in his heart when he hung up the phone, there will be no good things, he is dying, from the inside out.But it is true that I still have to go to the company, anyway, I have been depressed for so many days.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Ye arrived at Haydn Records lazily wearing flip flops.

On the seventh floor, Shi Ye got out of the elevator and walked along the corridor without looking sideways.He was dressed too casually, and he was carrying a guitar on his back.Along the way, I met a lot of staff members that Shi Ye was not familiar with, and they yelled "Brother Shi Ye" from a long distance away, and the reason was self-evident.

Shi Ye didn't care too much.He walked slowly through the corridor without looking at the photos, posters, and trophies hanging on the walls on both sides.

The two walls are all the honors that Haydn Records' bands and singers have won over the years.There are trophies, album cover specials, music festival group photos, and concert souvenirs... Group and individual, there are two walls full of them.

The most frequent name above belongs to a band called 'Aviator', and those obviously important individual awards belong to a simple name: Shi Ye.

In fact, Shi Ye was very famous in the circle when he was very young.He is considered a gifted musician. When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was very popular in the underground with a guitar. When the name Shi Ye was mentioned, at least in the rock circles in the north, everyone sincerely praised him. : That's really grandpa.

including character.

When you mention him later, everyone will introduce him like this: Shi Ye, currently the lead guitarist and songwriter of the mainland rock band Aviator.

Yes, he formed a band later on.

When Pilot was first established, the music market was sluggish, especially the band, it can be said that it really went to Siberia.In the past, those smashing bands, whether it was folk rock punk pop, basically put down their musical dreams and went to find other jobs to eat.

But what is surprising is that Aviator was born in that year. The first album of the same name "Aviator" became a hit and became famous. It only took a few weeks for this album to sit firmly on the album sales list in the mainland. No.1 in the ranking list directly reversed the popular trend, and also brought fame to Haydn's independent record company, which was originally unknown.

Shi Ye is the focal point of this band.Nothing more than other things, Shi Ye's behavior style is too controversial, talented, and eye-catching, and it can't be justified if he is not the center of the topic.

He has countless reputations in the circle because he is so talented.But there are also many people who scold him, and his personality is too harsh.When music critics praise Shi Ye, they always add a sentence: Shi Ye, although he is talented, his character will always suffer a bit.

Pilots has been going smoothly for so many years. This band has been voted for the most popular band award for three consecutive years, and the number of other awards, large and small, is countless.They have organized the largest orchestra tour in the mainland, and the few albums they have released have been a huge hit...

Just when everyone thought that the band would go smoothly in the next step, their lead singer was intoxicated, but suddenly committed suicide.

Shi Ye stopped in front of a door with his qin on his back, sighed slightly, and opened the door to enter.

Niu Xiaojun sitting at the door frowned when he saw his attire, but it was hard to say that the boss was there.Then his attention was attracted by the qin that Shi Ye was carrying on his back, and he thought to himself, why is this old man memorizing the qin when he has nothing to do?

Shi Ye's expression was still neither salty nor pale.He took off the violin, put it on the conference table above, and said to Gao Ce, the founder of Haydn, "I'm here."

Gao Ce didn't speak at first.He crossed his arms, looked at the qin on the table, then looked back at Shi Ye, frowned, and asked him with his eyes: What do you mean?again? ?

But Shi Ye didn't seem to have any plans to meet Gao Ce's gaze.After he sat down, he began to let go of himself, propping his head up and sitting staggeringly on the chair.Gao Ce saw how haggard he was dressed like this, and felt sore for a moment, but after a while the sourness turned into anger.

Gao Ce couldn't bear it anymore, and then began to ask the teacher: "Master, I told you not to go online recently, what are you talking about with netizens?"

"If you don't like it, just hate it." Shi Ye supported his head without raising his eyelids.

"I can't see that you are quite tolerant. This intoxication betrayed you to the bottom of the sky, and you still speak for him?" Gao Ce sneered, "Do you think you are a Bodhisattva? Are you the one who can casually hate netizens, huh? "

"After all, we met once, and the others are gone. I can't stand the mentally retarded dirty mouth," Shi Ye said lightly, "Speaking such dirty things to the dead, I will teach contemporary netizens five things and four beauties instead of an elementary school teacher."

In fact, Shi Ye's head is very dizzy at this moment, and he still hasn't sobered up from yesterday's wine.

He never woke up.

"Who asked you to replace me?! Is this the time when you can lose your temper at will?!" Gao Ce almost threw away a stack of documents, "You can't save me worry!"

In fact, Ye Ye helped Gao Ce bring up the record company.They have known each other for too many years, their relationship is not like that of a boss and an artist, but more like brothers sharing weal and woe, the two of them have always spoken straight to the point.

"I'm here to save you worry." Shi Ye finally stood up, and pushed the piano in the direction of Gao Ce, "You gave this piano when the band was established, and I will return it to you now. I don't need you to tell me." Knowing how serious the impact of Lao Shen’s incident is, I am very clear. I asked Xiao Xiang and Xiao Zheng a few days ago, and they all respect my opinion, so I came here today to tell you—”

Shi Ye said, "Let's stop here for the band."

Sitting next to him, Niu Xiaojun almost had a cardiac arrest.He knew that this matter was serious, because when Shi Ye was serious, his tone would become gentler, which was also a sign of his anger and extremely bad mood.

Normally, Shi Ye acted perversely, he would smack people in every three sentences and two sentences, he was not so gentle.

Niu Xiaojun panicked, couldn't hold back, walked over and pulled Shi Ye's clothes: "Master Shi, don't talk nonsense—"

"You guys know I'm not talking nonsense." Shi Ye felt that he hadn't woken up from the wine he drank last night, and he still had a headache at the moment, so he just wanted to hurry up and go back to sleep, "I don't like sloppiness, that's what I mean, I'm very tired right now. Sober and sane."

Although Shi Ye made himself look normal, in fact his head was dizzy and heavy as lead.There were a lot of messy voices going on all the time, even when talking to Gao Ce.

He couldn't sleep well almost every night, and he drank too much wine last night because he couldn't sleep.I got up and went out under the high temperature, and didn't eat anything. At the moment, I was really dizzy and nauseated.

Shi Ye has been in this state for almost half a month.He hasn't been sober for a few days after the intoxication left... His consciousness seems to be sober, but he seems to have been drunk all the time, which seems to be real and unreal.

I didn't eat a few meals well, but I didn't forget to drink wine every day.

Gao Ce didn't expect that he originally planned to ask Shi Ye to warn him not to make trouble, but this guy said he didn't play anymore?

"No." Gao Ce stood up and pressed his hand to let Shi Ye sit down, "Listen to me first—"

"What?" Shi Ye frowned, "There is nothing to say. Everyone in the band is responsible for Lao Shen's matter, and I am the most responsible. Gao Ce, I will tell you the truth. I'll take it easy."

Although saying these words to Gao Ce may sound like venting anger, in fact, Ye Ye was really considering the possibility of disbanding... I carried the piano back to Gao Ce today to tell him: I am really tired, although The Shi Ye you see so far is not bad, but that's just me making myself look good.

"We've been trying to think of ways for you for the past few weeks, and now you're here to tell me that you've quit?" Come out, are you tired? I let you stay at home and calm down, is this the result when you calm down?"

Shi Ye was silent for a while, before saying: "Gao Ce, I really feel..."

"Don't think so, listen to me first." Gao Ce waved his hand impatiently, "I know that intoxication has a great impact on you, and you are also sad..."

"I'm not sad, on the contrary I hate him." Shi Ye interrupted immediately, "And I don't understand him."

"All right, let's not talk about intoxication, talk about something else, something happy." Gao Ce wisely changed the subject, "I should have told you last week, but I thought I would tell you when I was sure, so I waited there I'll let you come over to meet people after I'm sure, don't think about the past in the future, forget it all, and start over."

Shi Ye felt that the words were wrong, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What restart? Who are you meeting?"

Gao Ce didn't answer, but asked Niu Xiaojun next to him, "Is he still there?"

"Here, Zhong Zheng and Xiao Xiang have both chatted with him, and they should probably be together. They hit it off, and they are all on the song." Niu Xiaojun automatically stood up to lead the way, and greeted Shi Ye, "Let's go, Master Shi, go and listen. Listen to the sounds of nature."

Shi Ye was dragged into the rehearsal room by Niu Xiaojun and Gao Ce in a daze, but because he was weak and unwilling, he simply kept his head down and ignored everyone.

After bringing him in, Gao Ce explained in Shi Ye's ear: "This time, it's a treasure from the sky, and I gave you a treasure. Forget about intoxication from now on. This person is incredible. In my opinion, he is more suitable for you." Pilot."

Niu Xiaojun also echoed at the side: "Brother Shi, although it's not pleasant to say such things when Shen Zui went there, but I'm just talking about the matter. You also know that Shen Zui's playing style afterward is too different from what we wanted. The talent is too limited, so many conflicts in the band before were not due to intoxication? I'm not sure if it's right to find a newcomer at this juncture, but I can be sure that you need this lead singer."

Shi Ye listened, but he didn't even want to lift his eyelids to take a look.He was tired, sick to his stomach, and just dizzy.

Don't want to look, don't want to look up at all.Shi Ye didn't bother to think about anything now, he just wanted to go back and sleep with his head covered, and if he couldn't fall asleep, he would put on headphones and listen to some hard rock songs at the loudest, and drink a few cans of beer.What a new lead singer, what a pilot, what rock dreams, what music dreams, all fucking dead.

The moment Niu Xiaojun pulled Shi Ye to the chair and sat down, the music suddenly rang.

Shi Ye was very familiar with the melody, he recognized it as "The Scientist".

Originally, Shi Ye had been covering his eyes, but after listening to a few words, he moved his eyelashes slightly in his palm in surprise.

"Come up to meet you."

"Tell you're sorry."

The sound is really nice.Crumbly, with a little bit of grit, the tone is very healthy, it is very suitable for singing rock and roll, understatement but also cool and compatible, very special.

It also gave Shi Ye a vague sense of acquaintance.

He raised his head hesitantly——

The moment that face was clearly in sight, Shi Ye thought he was dreaming.After all, this person should not appear in this place, nor should he have any intersection with Shi Ye's life.

Apart from his familiar drummer Xiao Xiang and bass Zhong Zheng, there is another dazzling presence in his sight.The man was wearing a well-fitting white shirt and was tall and tall. He was singing while playing the piano, with his eyes closed, looking very focused.

His facial features are really eye-catching, and his temperament is a little cold, showing a bit of alienation that is hard to get close to for no reason.

What Shi Ye thought at that moment was that it was him.

This child...has become a bit more mature, he has lost that youthful air, and is a bit healthier.

grown up.

Gao Ce squatted down, and said in Shi Ye's ear: "Do you still remember the 'Galileo-S' we talked about before? It's that faceless blogger who has a lot of fans on the Internet, sings Internet celebrities, and doesn't show his face." Lord, he has sung a lot of Aviator songs. When he found Niu Xiaojun, we didn't pay attention to it. I was really scared when he came to the door in person! I didn't expect the image of a real person to be so good, and he was born with a star face."

Shi Ye was stunned for a moment, searching for the relevant information called 'Galileo-S' in his dizzy mind——

Yes, once that blogger adapted a song called "In the Milky Way" by the Aviators, and the cover version became popular for a while. When it became popular, Ye, a person who doesn't use the Internet very much, had to hear about it. The band members pressed their heads forcibly and finished listening to the song "In the Milky Way", which was changed to be more lyrical and gentle.

How did Shi Ye evaluate at that time? ...It seems to be saying: the sound is really nice, I like that one, it's sexier than Shen Zui's voice...don't tell Shen Zui.

Niu Xiaojun continued to sell Amway beside him: "Brother Shi, his real name sounds like a stage name, Shengxia! He is very popular on the Internet, and many keyboard players in the circle like to repost his videos. And he is very low-key, never showing it Face, look, isn't the image particularly good!"

Shi Ye could no longer hear the chatter of Gao Ce and Niu Xiaojun.Because the man in his line of sight suddenly opened his eyes, first casually looked ahead, and searched for a figure, and in the next second, that somewhat indifferent gaze slammed into Shi Ye's eyes.

Looking at each other, both of them were stunned.

In that look, Shi Ye couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, but he knew that he was drawn into a memory... that happened in midsummer, the person was called midsummer, and the tone of the story was very midsummer.

An absurd, ridiculous, hazy and lamentable summer memory.

Sheng Xia panicked at first, and even missed the next verse.But he recovered very quickly, and immediately returned to a state of composure, and walked up to Shi Ye without avoiding it, looking at Shi Ye.

The hangover Shi Ye here is not so calm.He was completely dumbfounded, only felt that Sheng Xia's familiar yet unfamiliar face grew bigger and smaller in sight for a while, and the voice he heard was also messy...

So many voices.

In addition to the midsummer singing in front of me, there are intoxicated screams, fans' abuse, screams, and quarrels...

There are also some music sounds... Guitar, bass, keyboard, drums... Those sound images were combined together in Shi Ye's head little by little, and then shattered——

In the end, there was the scene where Sheng Xia pushed herself away in panic.

It was Sheng Xia's birthday that day, and Sheng Xia's expression on the screen was distorted and terrified, and he was saying, "Brother Shi Ye——! Don't do this!"

Then Sheng Xia's face was also shattered.

Shi Ye's face was pale.He felt dizzy in the mess of sounds and pictures... The next second, he opened his mouth in front of everyone and spat all over the floor.

The singing didn't stop.As a singer, the man named Sheng Xia is dedicated to his work. Although he saw Shi Ye's reaction, he still sang the last sentence with reddish eyes:

I'm going back to the start.

The author says:

As a reminder, the two protagonists are a little weird and sick. Shi Ye is [Tsundere Attack], very arrogant, has a bad temper, and Midsummer is gentle and slow. These two people are quite naive and peculiar, and they must be timely if they can't accept it. Stop the loss, don't see yourself uncomfortable behind, condemn the protagonist, bow, thank you.
