Pilot

"Interesting!"

Niu Xiaojun looked at Shi Ye who was sitting and smoking on the opposite side, and kept mocking, "I told you in the morning that I was reluctant when I came out for dinner, and my tone was very cold and reluctant, so just reply me with 'OK', and you will be cloudy in the afternoon." Are you actively organizing the dinner?"

Xiao wanted to play with his mobile phone, and raised his head when he heard the words: "Interesting, a patient with gastric bleeding who was just discharged from the hospital today called the band members to Xiaozheng's hot pot restaurant in a hurry at [-]:[-] p.m. Beijing time. What to do?"

Zhong Zheng stared at the mandarin duck pot in front of him, and played the game with a playful expression: "Interesting, the person who had stomach bleeding just now organized a temporary meal, as if he wanted to eat my overlord meal? I am very worried that this patient will vomit blood halfway through eating, What do you think?"

Shi Ye glanced at the time, frowned, and ignored their jokes.Midsummer hadn't arrived yet, and it was raining heavily outside. He was worried that the child couldn't find a place, but he didn't want to call to ask.

Annoyed by waiting, Shi Ye simply asked Zhong Zheng: "Is there a piano in the shop, take it out and play."

Xiao Xiang was unhappy when he heard the words: "What are you doing, let me watch your duet stare? Can't the bully drummer walk around with the guy on his back?"

"You are not happy to let you listen to the scene of the gods!" Zhong Zheng smiled, got up and took the guy.

When they had dinner in the store, Zhong Zheng would usually close down and dismiss the staff in the store.At this moment, there were only a few of them in the store, and a waiter who didn't want to ride an electric scooter back because of the rain, was playing Glory of Kings at the cashier.

Everyone in the store knew that the boss played in a band. The young waiter saw Zhong Zheng holding the piano, looked in this direction, and said with a smile: "Boss, cool! You are cooler than Gao Jianli!"

Zhong Zheng accepted the young child's compliment, took his things and came back, and asked in a daze, "Why do the kids in the store say I'm cooler than Gao Jianli? Isn't Gao Jianli an ancient man? What does it have to do with me as a bassist who opened a hot pot restaurant?" "

Xiao Xiang burst out laughing, and found the introduction of Gao Jianli in Glory of the King on Baidu and showed it to Zhong Zheng: "The one he mentioned, the game character, has purple hair, how cool, Xiao Zheng!"

After Gao Jianli's discussion came to an end, Zhong Zheng handed the guitar to Shi Ye, "I didn't seem to be very accurate when I played the four strings last time."

Then he handed the small rattle used by the cashier aunt to coax her grandson to Xiao Xiang, "Here, you play with this."

Zhong Zheng himself used an old bass that was kept in the shop.

After Shi Ye plucked the strings and tested the sound, he said, "The bass player's guitars are indeed rubbish."

Xiao wanted to shake the rattle, but he didn't bother to complain, so he just said: "The drums in the bass player shop are too lazy for kids to play, a layer of dust."

Niu Xiaojun is used to seeing them like this at the dinner table. It is common for them to suddenly start playing the piano and singing while eating, and they wrote many songs while eating at the dinner table.

Niu Xiaojun knows a little about music theory and musical instruments, but usually he doesn't interrupt, and only quietly records some of their daily life together. There are hundreds of videos of impromptu performances and quarrels in his mobile phone.

Shi Ye tuned the strings, thought for a moment and said to Zhong Zheng: "Play our "Pole Star", change it, change the place of the bridge to..." He started to play the demonstration while talking, Zhong Zheng immediately understood, and in the The bar where the bass appears cuts in.

Xiao wanted to make trouble for them by shaking his rattle while washing his hairy belly, and temporarily acted as the lead singer.

Knowing each other for too long, their tacit understanding is self-evident, and they can understand each other's meaning with just a few casual words.After playing it once, Shi Ye felt that the hand feeling was not good, maybe it was because they hadn't touched the instrument for a while, or maybe it was because they hadn't rehearsed together for too long.

Shi Ye frowned, and thought to Zhong Zheng and Xiao, "Do it again, I didn't feel it."

"Wait a minute, Lord Shi, why does this version of "Pole Star" sound familiar to me?" Zhong Zheng touched the strings, with an expression on his face that I had already seen through, "What's going on, didn't you say that last week? Don’t you want someone to come to the band in midsummer? Say no, and watch their cover video in private? Still learning from their modified score?”

Xiao wanted to watch the fun and didn't think it was a big deal, so he shook the rattle hahaha and echoed: "Master Shi, what's the matter with you!"

Shi Ye was too lazy to talk to them, his subordinates had already started the prelude neatly, Zhong Zheng had no choice but to give up, and slowly entered the state and cut into the bass performance, Xiao Xiang also began to hum the lyrics softly along with the melody——

"...

Ifilosemyselfaworldofdoubt,

If I lose myself in this suspicious world

and i wonder what's mine.

i want to know what belongs to me

There's no doubt when you kiss methe stars.

But there's no doubt the stars sigh when you kiss me

It's supernatural delight.

It's an incredible joy.

......"

Xiao wants to beat the bowl with chopsticks to beat the rhythm, and sing her favorite line with her eyes closed:

"Please wake me up when the summer ends.

Wake me up when summer is over"

When Shi Ye listened to this song, he suddenly thought of the midsummer of that year.

All his vivid memories of Xia Tian seemed to stay in Dali four years ago. Since then, Shi Ye began to hate Xia Tian.

When Xiao wanted to sing summer, a figure appeared at the glass door directly opposite their table.Shi Ye and Zhong Zheng didn't stop moving their hands, they were still flipping down, but their eyes were attracted by the figure outside the glass door of the store.

Holding the umbrella, Sheng Xia slightly lowered his head and frowned at the glass door in front of him. He pushed and pulled it uncertainly for a long time, as if he didn't know whether to push it in or pull it back.

It took him a long time to push the door open. When he entered the door, the ground slipped and he didn't pay attention to the steps, so he almost slipped and fell.Following Sheng Xia's almost slipping action, Shi Ye's body froze... Then he was distracted and pressed a wrong chord.

Shi Ye sighed inwardly, and simply stopped playing, and stopped, hugging the guitar and staring at Sheng Xia in the distance.

Seeing this series of movements in Shengxia, Xiao Xiang was dumbfounded, and said with emotion: "Why... he is quite stylish when he sings, but he doesn't look very smart when he does other things..."

"When he sang, he was indifferent, cool, and powerful. Is there such a big contrast in this life?" I reasonably suspect that the person who rehearsed the song with us that day is the same as the person in front of him. "

Niu Xiaojun spat: "What are you talking about? This is called real. If the music is good, it should be different in life? What's wrong with the contrast? If everyone is as talkative as you are, then the band is not a good one." Cloud club?"

"Okay, Teacher Niu Degang." Zhong Zheng clasped his fists, "I think it's okay, we can transform to talk about cross talk, and it's not bad to make a music team. In the future, we will rent a van and take the guy to various places. In the county town, contracted to play and sing for celebrations, celebrations and funerals..."

Xiao Xiang smiled: "Shengxia's Xiangxiangle team is too embarrassing for him! Hey, what's going on, why is he standing there, why are we embarrassed to come if he can't see us?"

Shi Ye looked at Sheng Xia who stood there in a daze for a long time, hesitating and not moving, and sighed helplessly.Sheng Xia definitely couldn't see them clearly, and didn't know which direction to go.He is nearsighted and has poor sense of direction.

He could only say to Niu Xiaojun next to him: "You brought that man here, probably because you didn't see us."

"Can't see?!" Xiao Xiang was startled immediately, "Is it nearsighted? Then this is...too serious, Mr. Shi, we are less than ten meters away from him, and there are only two tables of people in such a big restaurant. can not see?"

Zhong Zhengze took the lead in beckoning to Shengxia: "Little brother! This way!"

Hearing the sound, Sheng Xia squinted his eyes and looked at them, then looked to the left, and then...he strode towards the staff who were playing cards at a table on the left without hesitation.

A table of people looked at Sheng Xia who was getting further and further away from them, and their hearts were full at this moment: "..."

Xiao Xiang: "I have poor eyesight, and my hearing is not good..."

Zhong Zheng: "Is it because he listens to music for so long that his ears are failing..."

Niu Xiaojun: "Let's call him louder in the future, he is short-sighted and can't hear."

Shi Ye sighed, he could only put down the piano, stood up and walked towards the figure.

Even the back of Sheng Xia in his line of sight showed a sense of indifference and absent-mindedness, but Shi Ye always felt that no matter how he looked at him, he was so stupid... Others said that he looked indifferent, but Shi Ye felt that this person was just dull and slow.

This time he clearly saw the orange socks that seemed to be...wet again under the midsummer jeans.Shi Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart, didn't he even look at the road when he went out?Pick places with puddles?

Midsummer turned around when it was about to approach.

He squinted his eyes slightly to make sure it was Shi Ye. There seemed to be a light in his eyes for a moment, but then he lowered his head and covered the light.

Neither of them spoke.

When Shi Ye saw that he saw him, he turned around and led the people towards the dining table.Sheng Xia followed him step by step, following closely.

When they sat down at the dinner table while maintaining this weird atmosphere, Zhong Zheng suddenly stood up and began to applaud: "Today is the welcome ceremony of the Pilots band! All members, please allow me to introduce myself grandly! I am……"

"Get out." Xiao wanted to poke Zhong Zheng's waist with a rattle, "Stop adding drama to yourself, and bring me a plate of duck gizzards."

Zhong Zheng spat, but still went to the kitchen to get the food with his back supported.

While ironing the tableware, Niu Xiaojun greeted Sheng Xia and said, "Eat whatever you want, it's okay to overwhelm the boss. In the future, if you have something to do, you can come to this restaurant to eat Bawang's meal, and you don't need to pay."

Xiao Xiang cheerfully handed Sheng Xia a drink: "Master Shi's stomach is still not healed, so if you don't drink alcohol today, you can drink Wangzai's milk."

Sheng Xia reached out to pick it up and said thank you.

"I watched your live broadcast before you came out! You changed it so well!" Xiao Xiang smiled, "However, I found that when you sing, it's not the same as in life, you still... it's cooler when you sing! Why are you usually so dazed and a little weird..."

Shi Ye suddenly interjected indifferently: "Xiao Xiang, your brain is about to boil, hurry up and fish it out."

Seeing that Xiao Xiang was busy trying to get his brains out of his mind, Shengxia didn't know how to answer, so he lowered his head and took a sip of milk.

Niu Xiaojun was curious: "Myopia is very serious? Why can't you see us at the door?"

Sheng Xia shook her head: "One is more than 500 and the other is more than 400. It's not very serious. But I don't like wearing glasses, and it's uncomfortable to wear invisible glasses."

"Isn't it too inconvenient not to wear glasses?"

"Fortunately, I will bring a pair of frames when I go out, and I will wear them when I need them."

Niu Xiaojun was puzzled: "Don't you like wearing glasses?"

Sheng Xia continued to nod: "I don't like it, and I'm not used to it."

Shi Ye suddenly remembered that what the kid said to himself when he was 17 years old seemed to be:

I am used to seeing a blurry world. If I wear glasses and see a clear world for a long time, I will feel a little scared.

He probably forgot about Midsummer, but he still remembered.

Zhong Zheng, who came back with duck gizzards, brought Shi Ye a bowl of porridge and said, "Hey, you let me cook it."

Shi Ye glanced at the red hot pot in front of him, thought for a while, then pushed the bowl of white fungus porridge towards Shengxia, got up silently and went to the kitchen to fill another bowl of porridge.

Sheng Xia didn't think too much, he had never been a person who thought a lot, and it was something Shi Ye gave him, he didn't even think about it, he just picked it up and ate it.

Next, he was being dragged by Zhong Zheng who was sitting down to ask questions, so he didn't pay attention to where Shi Ye had gone. When Shi Ye came back with a bowl of porridge and sat next to him, Sheng Xia realized it, but he thought that Shi Ye Ye just gave it to himself without thinking too much about it.

He didn't dare to look at Shi Ye too much.

So far, no one at this table has served him any food, which made Sheng Xia heave a sigh of relief. He has a bad throat and dare not eat spicy food.

This scene is quite strange, he came to the hot pot restaurant and sat on the same bench with Shi Ye to drink porridge, watching the three people eating hot pot in front of him.

The relaxed atmosphere made Sheng Xia feel more relaxed, and the tremella porridge also made his throat feel much more comfortable.

"Zhong Zheng, as a low-level person in the band's food chain, I advise you to curry favor with our lead singer brother in the future," Xiao Xiang said with a smile, "otherwise the lead singer is too handsome and too powerful, and your bass will definitely become more and more dull. Someday you will be expelled from the team."

"?" Zhong Zheng also laughed, "Bass is the soul of the band, can the soul be seen casually?"

"The master is here, let's sing "Pole Star" adapted by Galileo S again." Xiao wanted to boo with his chopsticks, "We all sat in Xiaozheng's restaurant to eat hot pot, and we recognized each other, come come come ! Let us remember this moment with music!"

"I quite like the lyrics of "Pole Star". It's rare for Master Shi to write a gentle song." Zhong Zheng plucked the strings, "Come on, little brother Shengxia, is it okay?"

Sheng Xia was taken aback by the question.His throat is uncomfortable today, but he always feels that the atmosphere...not singing is not good, and Shi Ye is still there.

He thought for a while, and was just about to say, anyway, it's okay to sing a song, but Shi Ye frowned and said: "Eat well, eat well, why sing?"

Zhong Zheng was stunned for a moment, feeling baffled: "Master Shi, you asked me to play with the piano just now, it's not often for us..."

"Often what often." Shi Ye glanced at the guitar next to him with disgust, "I can't play your rotten guitar, my hands are protesting."

Xiao wanted to look at Shi Ye, then at Sheng Xia with a sullen face, and finally at the tremella porridge in front of Sheng Xia, and she smiled after thinking about it.

"I won't sing today." Xiao wanted to smooth things over with a smile, "We'll talk about it when we go to the rehearsal room and let me shake the rattle to watch you play?"

Sheng Xia quickly answered: "Let's record a better version together next time, adding drums and bass will make it fuller."

Zhong Zheng could only compromise: "Okay, next time. By the way, I have seen the video of you singing this song. Among all your videos, I like this song and "In the Milky Way" best. Your voice is suitable for singing this song of."

"This is the song Shi Ye wrote four years ago," Xiao Xiang thought for a while, "Back then, Midsummer, you...should only be 18 years old?"

Sheng Xia was stunned for a while before nodding: "Yes, I just became an adult at that time."

Xiao Xiang smiled: "You have sang and adapted many of our songs. Could it be that you are...whose fan in the band?" Makes sense.

After hearing this, Sheng Xia was stunned for a while, and his hands tightened slightly.

He thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Well, I have always liked pilots." He paused, "Always have."

Xiao wanted to look at Shi Ye, and then continued to joke: "Oh, then you are making a lot of money this time, you don't have pure motives in joining the band, right? Singing in public and chasing stars secretly."

Sheng Xia was stunned for a moment before laughing: "Maybe, but my motives are not pure. I am quite ambitious and want to realize my dream."

When Shi Ye heard this sentence, he felt that his heart was stabbed by something sharp, which made him a little embarrassed, and he hesitated again.

He closed his eyes, not wanting to continue this topic, so he pointed to the pot and said to Zhong Zheng, who wanted to continue asking: "The soup base is dry, add more."

Except for Shi Ye, the members of the band are all talkative and interesting, but they also know how to measure.Sheng Xia could feel that everyone was taking care of him when he was younger, and there was love and kindness in his words, which made him feel at ease.

And he didn't expect that Shi Ye's attitude towards him would not be so fierce today.He was a little cautious at first, not daring to talk to Shi Ye, but after chatting, he tried to answer a few words.

Shi Ye's attitude towards him has always been indifferent, and he looks similar to others, which made Sheng Xia heave a sigh of relief, but then felt a little sad.

He couldn't say why he was sad, but he just felt empty.

No one asked him why he was late for a while, and everyone didn't seem to care.The rest of the band and Sheng Xia have actually only met a few times, but they are still generous and friendly to him.

In contrast, the person who seemed to be the most indifferent to Sheng Xia was Shi Ye who had known him the earliest.

He thought to himself, it turned out to be like this, the people around Shi Ye were so good, and his band was so good.

Sheng Xia thought for a while, although no one asked, but he still wanted to explain to Shi Ye why he was late, otherwise, what would Shi Ye think of him, being late is a bad habit.

Taking advantage of the time between Zhong Zheng and Shi Ye's conversation, he took out the notebook and pen he would carry with him from his backpack, quickly wrote a few lines under the table, and then put them lightly on Shi Ye's lap .

A piece of paper is so light it's hard to feel it on your lap.Shi Ye was able to notice it because he had been paying attention to every move of the kid beside him from the corner of his eye.

Before Midsummer, he had the habit of carrying a notebook with him to write and draw. Most of the time in his daily life, he was immersed in his own world. He liked to doodle on the notebook, write songs, and draw symbols that others could not understand.

At that time, Shi Ye thought that this was the habit of young people in the second grade of puberty, but he didn't expect that this child is still like this now.

He pressed the piece of paper on his lap calmly, slowly closed his palms, squeezed the piece of paper into a ball, held it in his palm, and said to Zhong Zheng: "I think it's not bad to change that way, just If the style of the song is a bit dry, it is far from the feeling of the lyrics, and it doesn't match."

Xiao wanted to call Sheng Xia on the opposite side, and he answered in a daze.At this moment, Sheng Xia's heart was actually in a mess, he felt as if his heart was also pinched by Shi Ye's hand, it was pinched tightly, and it was pinched into a small ball with many wrinkles.

It was the first meal for the Pilots band after they had a lead singer. They ate from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm.

Shi Ye and Sheng Xia didn't say a word after that, not even when they left the hot pot restaurant.Sheng Xia originally thought that Shi Ye would say goodbye to him, but the man with always indifferent eyebrows just waved at them, then turned and left.

Sheng Xia watched that figure disappear into the crowd, and didn't recover for a long time.

He didn't even have the courage to stop the other party and say goodbye.

—

When Shi Ye got home, he took a shower to wash away the hot pot smell, then he rummaged through his clothes and found the little ball of paper.

He looked at the ball of paper for a long time before slowly unfolding it little by little.

The writing on it is not very good-looking, it is the handwriting that Shi Ye remembered, a bit scribbled.

writes:

"I really went out very early today, but I took the bus past the stop, got off the bus and walked around looking for a long time before I found the place.

Sorry, I'm still dumb. [Crying face] Try not to be late in the future, don't be angry.

Ps, I do not have pure motives, and I am here for you.

Summer isn't over yet, and hopefully it's not too late.

【rain】
