"Why are you so dazed while eating?"

Zhao Jie put a piece of beef in the midsummer bowl, "Look at what you have done with yourself during the holiday? You didn't know how to put on sunscreen when you went to the beach to ride a bike? And you have a fever? You don't know how to tell your mother if you have a fever." ..."

"What sunscreen does the man wear?" Sheng Xia pulled the beef steak aside and spoke absent-mindedly, "I said that the fever is not serious, just take some medicine and you'll be fine."

"Eat quickly, I will take you to the hospital to have a look at your face after eating." Zhao Jie frowned, "Don't go out in the afternoon, I will take you to an uncle's house for dinner, and we will ask him to help you when you go to school." .”

"I have an appointment with... my classmate this afternoon," Sheng Xia lied without changing his expression, "Let's go another day, the results won't come out until tomorrow, right? My classmate is going to take the exam, and I will practice piano with him."

Zhao Jie put the bowl aside: "Is the matter of your classmates more important than your own?"

Shengxia's mind is now full of where Shi Ye went, and she didn't notice Zhao Jie's strange emotions at all, and she foolishly answered the question: "Mom, when you came back in the morning, you really didn't see a person with a piano on his back. Is it a tall man?"

Zhao Jie stared at Sheng Xia for a long time before saying: "Eat!"

Sheng Xia sighed: "I won't eat."

He put down the bowl, and originally planned to slip away, but saw two pomegranates on the fruit plate next to him.It must have been brought back by Zhao Jie from the outside, and it looks very fresh. The pomegranate seeds inside are all blood red, as beautiful as gemstones.

He picked a big one and held it in his hand before saying to Zhao Jie, "I'm going to find my classmates."

Zhao Jie endured it for a long time before she couldn't hold back her anger.She felt that she also needed to calm down, so she could only watch Sheng Xia take some antipyretics and let him come back early.

Sheng Xia took a pomegranate and searched for Shi Ye in the ancient city for a day.

He asked Xie Hong for Shi Ye's phone number, but he couldn't get through.He knew how many homestays there were in the ancient city, so he looked for them one by one.

When he woke up in the morning, he was a little dazed. It felt like a dream. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that the experience of the past few days was like a dream.After waking up from the dream, Shi Ye disappeared, leaving nothing behind.

Could it be gone?

He didn't know why he was looking for it, whether he could find it, and what he would say when he found it.The daylight at noon was drowsy, and he wanted to sleep after taking the medicine, and he was tired after only looking for a few midsummers.

He found a shady place and sat cross-legged, and took out his notebook from his bag.

It was wet from the rain that day, the paper was crumpled, and the handwriting was almost unclear.Turning to the page he wrote in the car that day, it was an unfinished song, and he didn't think of the name.

Sheng Xia looked at the sunlight, thought for a while, and wrote the word 'vertigo' at the beginning by a ghost.

I seem to be more dizzy after writing.Sheng Xia leaned against the wall and suddenly felt a little wronged.He didn't know what he did wrong to make Shi Ye unhappy, maybe something else went wrong... But Shi Ye just left without saying a word.

He was fascinated, the melody and notes danced in his mind, and he followed his thoughts and began to record.Midsummer wrote faster and faster, and the more he wrote, the more uncomfortable he became.He suddenly got stuck in the middle of writing, because the notes in the notebook couldn't be connected together, and he actually wrote Beijing where the key of C should have been written.

He stared at the word Beijing that he had written down, and felt that his soul was out of his body.

Then the next second a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

At first, Sheng Xia didn't notice at all, and was still staring at his notebook in a daze. It was the man who got impatient and stretched out his hand to flick his ear, and Sheng Xia came back to his senses.

Shi Ye in front of him was wearing a mask, frowning at him.

Sheng Xia was so frightened that she closed the book abruptly: "Teacher Shi Ye!"

Shi Ye looked at Sheng Xia silently for a while, and then said in a flat tone:

"I want to ask the next way. Do you know where there is a musical instrument store in the ancient city?"

Midsummer was stunned.

Dazed, he picked up his things and said, "Yes, I'll take you there, Teacher Shi Ye."

Shi Ye stared fixedly at Sheng Xia, didn't move, and asked, "Were you looking for me before?"

Sheng Xia nodded: "Yes."

"Why are you looking for me?"

Sheng Xia paused for a moment, then he saw the pomegranate in his hand, and said: "...I want to give you a pomegranate."

Shi Ye: "Why give me a pomegranate?"

"I just want to give it to you." Sheng Xia was silent for a while, "I don't know either."

Shi Ye was still staring at Sheng Xia, and he asked nervously again: "Why do you want me?"

Sheng Xia was startled, he couldn't see Shi Ye's expression under the mask.

"I do not know."

"You don't know anything, so just look for me." Shi Ye said calmly, "I'm not from here, I can leave at any time. Today, tomorrow, or now. I'm not who you are, what do you want from me? What do you mean? If I hadn’t met you by chance, would you still be looking for me? Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow?”

Sheng Xia was silent for a while before saying, "Look for it."

"I can't find it."

"...Let's look for it."

Shi Ye sneered: "Stupid."

Sheng Xia didn't seem to care, "Many people say that about me."

Shi Ye had already stretched out his hand to touch Sheng Xia's head, but he retracted it when he almost touched it, turned around, went down, and took the pomegranate in Sheng Xia's hand.

"Lead the way." Shi Ye broke open the pomegranate, and handed it back to Sheng Xia for him to eat, "Find a piano store."

I am really a fool, obsessed with ghosts.Shi Ye thought while taking out his phone to refund the ticket.

Sheng Xia ate the pomegranate, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Shi Ye, why...why did you leave?"

Shi Ye was still staring at the phone, and instead of answering, asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Sheng Xia thought for a while, nodded and shook his head: "Good and bad. I always feel very hot, and I still feel very cold in the middle of the night. But I remember I had a dream."

"What dream?"

"I don't really remember the details, but I remember dreaming of shooting stars." Sheng Xia peeled the pomegranate, "It's like something is exploding all the time, it's shiny. Teacher Shi Ye, eat the pomegranate."

As he spoke, he handed over his hand.A palm of pomegranate seeds that have been peeled, lying in the white palm, looks beautiful and shiny in the sun.

Shi Ye took the handful of red fruit.Then he found out that his phone was out of charge, so he asked Sheng Xia to lend him the phone to pay and transfer it to him later.

Sheng Xia had something in both hands, so he asked Shi Ye to take it from his pocket, and said that the unlock code was 111111.

Shi Ye unlocked the phone, and found that Shengxia's phone page hadn't exited, it was stopped in the browser, and the search content in front of him read: 'Will smoking make you grow taller'.

Midsummer is still working hard to peel pomegranates.Peel off a small handful and give it to Shi Ye first, and then peel it to yourself.When he saw Shi Ye looking at him strangely, he turned to his mobile phone. After seeing that page, Sheng Xia's hands trembled, and his ears turned red again.

Shi Ye said solemnly: "Smoking will really make you grow taller."

Sheng Xia: "...Baidu says no."

Shi Ye felt that his mood suddenly improved, and he pretended to be angry: "Baidu is a lie, I don't lie. You don't believe me? Go to Baidu?"

"...No." Sheng Xia began to change the subject, "Mr. Shi Ye, eat pomegranates."

When Shi Ye took it over, he felt that he was in a better mood, and he chose to temporarily forget the unhappiness he had caused for himself.

After recharging the phone bill, Shi Ye refunded the air ticket he bought in the morning.He originally bought a plane ticket back to Beijing tomorrow, but now he is being held back by a handful of pomegranates.

Shi Ye chewed the pomegranate seeds in his mouth, thought for a while, and asked Sheng Xia: "Do you want to go to Beijing with me?"

Sheng Xia was taken aback by the question: "Huh? Beijing?"

"Come with me to see the big cities, read books, sing songs, release records, you can do whatever you want." Shi Ye asked in a normal tone, as if saying that the weather is fine today, "Or do you have any other wishes? You can tell me."

"Why did you say this suddenly?" Sheng Xia was a little flattered, "My wish?"

After Shi Ye refunded the ticket, he began to reply Gao Ce to WeChat, saying that he would go back after a while, "Isn't it going to be a birthday? Tell me your wish, as a fan feedback, thank you for your support for so many years as a pilot."

Sheng Xia smiled, and said relaxedly: "My wish now is that Teacher Shi Ye doesn't leave, and just stay in Dali."

Shi Ye paused.

Sheng Xia felt that he seemed to have said something difficult for a strong person, and quickly changed his words: "...I was joking. Actually, I have no wish. If I really want to say it, I probably want to become a very powerful musician like Teacher Shi Ye."

Shi Ye put away his phone.

"I can help you." Shi Ye said, "If you really want to."

Sheng Xia didn't care about Shi Ye's two heavy words at all. He pointed to the shop in front of him and said, "Mr. Shi Ye, we're here."

When he arrived at the piano store, Sheng Xia accompanied Shi Ye to change the strings. When he opened the piano bag, Sheng Xia discovered that the guitar had broken a string.When asked why Shi Ye broke it, the other party just said lightly, the string is old.

During the replacement, the boss kept praising the piano for its good performance, asking why it wasn’t well maintained, and scolding Shi Ye who was wearing a mask all the time.

It's not that it's not well maintained.Shi Ye actually cared more about that guitar than anyone else in his heart, but he was a bit weird, the more he cared about something, the more he held back and didn't talk about it, just like this piano.It is obviously a very commemorative thing, and it also represents an era of his. For him, it is not only a piano, but also a heavy past.Shi Ye didn't know what to do with this guitar that had so many memories, just like he didn't know what to do with his past.

Before he came out, he carried the piano to a showdown with the band members.That day he was so angry that he almost smashed the piano, pushed Gao Ce, and almost beat up Shen Zui's grandson.

When the boss removed the strings, Shi Ye felt chest tightness and discomfort for no reason. It seemed that what the boss removed was not the strings, but his ribs.Shi Ye couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply said to go out and make a phone call to avoid it, and kept Sheng Xia in the store to watch.

Sheng Xia ate pomegranates and watched the boss change strings, his legs dangling on the stool.

The boss removed the old strings and put them on the workbench.

Sheng Xia stared at the strings for a long time. After thinking about it, he folded the strings, took out his notebook, and clipped the strings into his notebook.
