Pilot

Shi Ye has suffered from insomnia since a year ago.

At first, the condition was not that serious, but I couldn't sleep, and then I started to hear hallucinations and tinnitus.Before going to bed, he always felt a tight pain in his chest, and his heartbeat was very loud, wrapped up with the messy voices in his head, making the dark and quiet night like a live scene.

He went to the doctor several times without telling everyone, and prescribed a bunch of medicines, but his condition didn't improve much.Like the broken window effect, both his body and work began to decline that year.First, he was found to have problems with his vocal cords and could not continue the tour in the second half of the year. During that time, Shi Ye’s physical and psychological conditions were very bad, and the band faced disbandment several times. Later, the company came forward and made a decision to add a new lead singer... …

Life is a mess, nothing can make Shi Ye happy.

On the day when the promotional tour for the second half of the year started, Shi Ye had a big fight with Shen Zui in the rehearsal room and almost got into a fight.After leaving the company, he took a taxi directly to the airport, bought a ticket to Guizhou on the way, and started this trip to Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan a little waywardly.

He didn't bring anything, he only bought a change of clothes when he arrived in Guiyang, and the most expensive thing on his body was the guitar customized by the master.

In fact, Shi Ye didn't know why he carried the guitar out of the door, but when he realized it, he had already landed.

In the past half a month, Shi Ye lived quite comfortably, at least there were not so many miscellaneous things waiting for him to make decisions, and he didn't have to pay attention to those public opinions and judgments.

He hasn't had a vacation for a long time, and he is really tired.

During the trip, his sleeping condition was also very bad, and he always had to lie in bed until three or four o'clock before falling asleep.Before coming to Dali, he happened to be hiking in Shangri-La. When Xie Hong called him, Shi Ye hadn't slept all day.

But Shi Ye actually slept very well on the first night of staying in this homestay called 'Midsummer', almost fell into a deep sleep after lying down and touching the pillow.

May be really too tired.

But he also woke up early, seven o'clock.When he opened his eyes, Shi Ye was in a trance for a moment, because the windows on both sides of the attic were letting in the warm morning light, hitting the musical instruments in the room, and falling on the green plants under the windows, which was exactly the same as what he was thinking at the time. Again, the lighting in this room is really, really good.

Wooden floors, wooden doors, gray skylights, morning light, pianos, green plants... When Ye just woke up, he was easily pleased by the room in front of him.

Maybe it was because the scene in front of him was very warm, which made Shi Ye feel very relaxed for no reason, only felt drowsy and drowsy, and didn't want to wake up, so he closed his eyes and went back to sleep for the first time.

A few more hours of this sleep passed.

This caused Midsummer, who got up early and bought breakfast for Shi Ye, to be at a loss.At seven o'clock, there was no movement in the small attic.

Eight o'clock, no.Nine o'clock, still nothing.Not even ten o'clock... Eleven o'clock... Twelve o'clock... Still no movement...

Shi Ye finally woke up at 12:30.When he finished washing and went downstairs, he saw Sheng Xia was sitting on a small bench listening to music with earphones on the stairway he must pass through, with his eyes squinted, as if he was about to fall asleep, when he walked down , Midsummer still didn't respond at all.

Seeing Sheng Xia like this, Shi Ye felt a little happy, so he couldn't help but leaned over and flicked Sheng Xia's ear lightly.

Sheng Xia's reaction was also miraculous.Ordinary people will react conditionedly when they are touched by others when they are unprepared, but Sheng Xia paused for a while, then slowly opened his eyes, raised his head, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the standing man against the light. Shi Ye.

After seeing Shi Ye, he reacted for a while, and stood up after his brain received the information, and said awkwardly, "Ah... Teacher Shi Ye, you're awake."

The tone is still slow.

"Wake up," Shi Ye lowered his head slightly, frowned and pointed at Sheng Xia's left cheek, "What's wrong with your face?"

Sheng Xia raised her hand to touch the band-aid on her face, and smiled a little forcedly: "I...scratched it yesterday, so I just put it on."

This is not a lie.Really got scratched.When taking a bath last night, Sheng Xia was restless, and finally poured all his excitement onto that nasty pimple. He couldn't help scratching it a few times before it broke, and he bled a lot.

Sheng Xia has the kind of physique that keeps bleeding when there is a wound. It took a long time to stop the bleeding after scratching, so he put on a band-aid in desperation.

Shi Ye didn't ask further: "I'm a little hungry, please point me to a restaurant, I'll go eat something."

"I'm going with you, and I didn't eat." Sheng Xia smiled, "What would Teacher Shi Ye want to eat?"

"You didn't eat either?" Shi Ye was a little surprised, this time was already past lunch time.

Sheng Xia shook her head frankly: "No, I think you have to eat too, and it's not good to let you eat alone. I will wait for you to eat together these few days, Teacher Shi Ye."

It's a bit strange.

It's been a long time since anyone said to Shi Ye that I'll wait for you to eat.

Shi Ye thought, quite enthusiastic.But such enthusiasm had better be aimless.

He watched Sheng Xia's action of wrapping the headphone cable, and felt that the child looked a little more normal today than yesterday, not as weird as yesterday, and he hoped it will be the same in the future.

Sheng Xia finally took Shi Ye to a very inconspicuous shop to eat Bai cuisine.When ordering, Shi Ye said that you are a local and you order, and Sheng Xia pushed the menu back and said that you still come and order what you want to eat. The aunt who ordered the food saw the two of them pushing back and forth, and said a little funny: "I don't want to eat anything." How about ordering the signature dishes?"

Shi Ye and Sheng Xia agreed together.

It happened that there was a small trolley outside selling snacks, and Sheng Xia hurried out with her bag after she said that. When she came back, she was holding something in her hand, which seemed to be food, and she handed it over as soon as she sat down: "Teacher Shi Ye, try this, rose milk fan, many girls in our class used to like to eat this, and foreigners will buy it when they come..."

Shi Ye looked at the milky white rolled up little thing with a strange smell in his hand, and raised his eyebrows: "The girls in your class like to eat it? So you buy it for me?"

Sheng Xia's hands froze, and being stared at by Shi Ye, he felt that the hand holding the breast fan was shaking a little.

"No, I mean this is a special product, that is, both locals and foreigners like to eat it..."

Fortunately, Shi Ye just teased him a few words, seeing his face of doing something wrong, he thought it was funny, so he took it with a smile, and tasted it twice.

Sweet and cloying, it tastes a bit like cheese with rose sauce in the middle.

Shi Ye found it unpalatable, but seeing Sheng Xia looking at him expectantly, he could only swallow it whole and said, "It's okay."

Sheng Xia seemed to be relieved: "As long as you like it."

"We often come to this restaurant to eat. The fish is the best, and there are some mushrooms that are in season..." Midsummer said something in his local dialect without paying attention, and quickly spoke in Mandarin again. Once, "I'm talking about some mushrooms, such as Jianshouqing, this store makes them delicious."

Shi Ye looked at the pot of fish in front of him, took a bite and didn't eat any more, but turned his head to look at Sheng Xia with some amusement: "You locals speak in an interesting tone, like singing."

He doesn't eat fish, it's unpalatable.

"Ah..." Sheng Xia was silent for a while, only feeling a little inexplicably embarrassed, "I don't speak Mandarin well, and I still have a bit of an accent."

"I've been to Chengdu for performances before, but I didn't stay here for a few days. This is actually my first time here in the Southwest." Shi Ye turned to eat the plate of Jianshouqing, which tasted good, "Come to Dali It feels very strange, everyone seems to talk lazily and slowly. The wind blows slowly, the sun shines slowly, they talk slowly, and they walk slowly...it feels quite different from the north."

At that time, Shi Ye didn't understand that his impression of Dali as "slow" was wrong.The 'slowness' he felt was just midsummer itself, but why did Dali in his heart still look 'slow'?

It was only later that Shi Ye realized that he felt that Dali was 'slow' because all his memories of this city were related to midsummer.

Sheng Xia thought for a while before answering: "I haven't been to the north, so I can't compare, but I always feel that it must be very cold and windy there."

Shi Ye nodded: "It's really cold, if it's windy... I think you guys are also very windy."

"Xiaguan is very windy." Sheng Xia smiled, "There is a saying that goes, 'Shangguan wind, Xiaguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon', so Xiaguan is also called Wind City."

"Dali, Xiaguan..." Shi Ye was a little strange, "Is Xiaguan a district or a county in your Dali? Or is Xiaguan another name for Dali? The ancient city here is also Xiaguan?"

"Our urban area is generally called Xiaguan, and the ancient city we will directly call Dali Ancient City, because Shangguan is a town," Sheng Xia gestured up and down with chopsticks, "Now the ancient city is divided into Xiaguan, but we usually say it to distinguish it. Dali."

"It's quite complicated." Shi Ye didn't ask further, and finished the rice in the bowl, "It's over. Tell me about the plan, where does the little guide arrange for me to go today?"

Sheng Xia glanced at Shi Ye, then took the bag next to him, first took out a pair of glasses to put on, then took out a notebook, opened it, and said in a very serious tone: "I did it last night. After the homework, it mainly depends on Mr. Shi Ye, whether you want to see the scenery or eat. If you want to visit the scenic spots, we probably need to charter a car. First go to Shuanglang, then go to Cangshan Mountain to take the cable car, and then go to Little Putuo. If If we want to eat, we probably have to go to the inner city, if the route..."

Shi Ye watched Sheng Xia's mouth open and close in front of him.

It is indeed a pretty face, with clear features, white and clean, even with an ugly band-aid on it, it still looks good.While speaking, he was still staring at the book in his hand seriously.

It feels a little more delicate after wearing the eyes.His eyes, with their long eyelashes, can be seen through the glasses.

Shi Ye realized that he had been looking at this person for too long, so he moved his eyes away to look at the writing on Sheng Xia's notebook.The writing is a bit messy, and you can tell at a glance that it is written for yourself.

"I'm not very interested in scenic spots and scenery. I want to feel the reality. I don't want to go to a stereotyped ancient city, nor a certain historical site, or a certain natural landscape. I want you to show me the hearts of the locals. Dali. You can take me to a place that you like and that you think can represent Dali.”

Sheng Xia thought that Shi Ye was really different, he probably came from the city, had seen the world, and thought differently from others.

He closed the notebook and said carefully: "But looking at Dali from my point of view...it might be a little narrow. I think most of the good things are related to my own experience, which may be boring...we still Go climbing to see the water or something, it's better than..."

"Just take me to the place you often go to." Shi Ye interrupted Shengxia and made a direct decision, "I don't like climbing mountains and looking at water, I just want to keep it simple."

After eating, Shi Ye put on his hat and mask, and told Sheng Xia that he wanted to get a haircut.

Sheng Xia agreed, and took Shi Ye to the barber shop.

Sheng Xia still felt unnatural when walking beside Shi Ye.He was trying his best to treat Shi Ye as an ordinary person, but he always felt that he was being seen through vaguely. It felt strange and frustrating to him, and he also felt slightly unwilling.

It is because of the gap.For example, age, experience, two completely different temperaments, and even identities.

As a male, Sheng Xia instinctively felt complicated emotions towards Shi Ye. This was the first time he had so many unspeakable feelings towards the same sex and the rock musician he liked.

I couldn't touch it before, but of course I was able to convince myself that that person is a star in the sky, and I just need to look at it from a distance.

Now that the stars came to her, Sheng Xia began to feel annoyed why she was so ordinary.

If he also...

Or could it be a star as dazzling as Shi Ye?

Then he would probably be much calmer, at least he would have the courage to talk to Shi Ye about the music he likes and the score he wrote before.You can express your appreciation without any scruples, and then let Shi Ye see his dazzling places.

But that doesn't work, he is just an underage student who just graduated from high school, has no works, no one knows him, has a weird personality, has nothing, and can't even speak.

Midsummer was downcast.

He felt that because of Shi Ye's arrival, he became greedy.
