Chapter 32: Partner
"Thank you. Anxi replied coldly.
Hearing Zhao Punctuality's praise, Anxi did not show joy. I was a little more guarded.
She likes to chat with him, after all, she has also been a musician, and she can be regarded as having a common topic.
This made her forget the fact that the two had only just met, until she suddenly realized that she was a little too familiar.
Perhaps this is the charm of music, because the song called "A Song for No One" sings about the state of mind in her heart.
made her unable to maintain her usual state in addition to excitement, otherwise, she would not even tell him her name now.
"Can you do me both?"
Zhao Punctuality, who was a little hesitant, replied directly: "Uh, please speak." He was a little surprised, and he didn't quite understand why Anxi, who had just known him for a while, would ask him for help.
But I decided to hear it first. If it's just a handy effort, I won't refuse.
With his right leg pressed against his sitting leg and his hands pressed on his knees, Anxi, who was half-leaning over, looked at his fingers and said in a barely audible voice: "I have a story in my heart, can you be my listener once." β
"As long as you don't mind, I'm glad to do it. Actually, my job is to listen to other people's stories, but my show airs in the middle of the night, so I guess you haven't heard it. β
Looking at Anxi's look of pity, Zhao Punche added: "I have heard a sentence that there is no real empathy in this world. I agree.
I can't relate to how you felt when you knew your parents were dead. But I can share with you that I had a similar experience.
Forced to smile during the day, endure the horror alone at night, spend every night in a nightmare, I can't move in the dream, there are countless horrors around me, ready to step forward and tear myself apart.
The only precaution is to lock the door and protect yourself with a thick quilt. β
"I'm not the only one. Anxi, who muttered, raised her head: "Thank you for sharing, I'm much better now."
My story is actually very simple, even a bit bloody. My brother has a little hair, let's call him Y, they formed a band in the nature of playing tickets, to be honest, Y has taken care of me since I was a child, and also said that he would marry me when I was older.
When I was a child, I didn't know what emotions were. I only remember that this big brother next door who often brought me good food was very good, so he naturally agreed to marry him.
Later, Y stopped mentioning this after he became sensible, but I took this promise as an obsession, and I fell in love with him.
Their band lacked a guitar, so I joined in, and I was a little dirt girl at the time, and I was a beautiful lead singer.
The lead singer is much prettier than me, but the people are very nice, and we are also very good friends, good girlfriends..."
Halfway through speaking, Anxi looked motionless ahead, her good-looking brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes loosened, sometimes smiled, and sometimes pursed the corners of her mouth.
"Anxi, Anxi?" Zhao Punche asked anxiously, Anxi's current state is a little abnormal, is it because he can't help himself when he remembers the past?
"Oh. I'm fine. Anxi, who shook his head, came back to his senses, raised his head to look at Zhao Punche and explained, "I'm sorry, I suddenly found that this story that had brought me pain was a little boring.
It turned out that I had already let go of what happened back then, so naturally I didn't need to confide in others.
Looking back now, everyone was so naΓ―ve, like a group of children. β
"Well, that's fine. Other people's thousand words are not as good as their own flash of inspiration. Zhao Punctual said with relief.
In fact, in his heart, it was like a kitten scratching his heart, eldest sister, either don't say it, or finish speaking, and suffocate people halfway through the words.
"Do you want to hear it?" Seeing Zhao Punctuality's twist, Anxi looked at him with a sideways face and teased.
"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense. β
A skilled one denied the use of the triple, and Zhao Punche found that Anxi was still looking at him with a sideways face, her eyes were very bright, and it was an exaggeration to say that Starlight Glimmer was a bit exaggerated, but at least it deserved to have aura.
Expressing his disdain, Zhao Shoushi pouted and looked away: "I don't want to hear it." "It's a bit of a tsundere, but it's kind of admitting that I want to hear it.
"Okay, okay, I'll just tell you. Anxi, who was amused by Zhao Punctuality's appearance, smiled heartily: "At that time, I thought that the sky was falling, but now I think about it, it is just two sentences, Y doesn't like me, he likes the lead singer of our band, they secretly confirmed the relationship but didn't announce it to the public."
I have a good relationship with the lead singer, I am a good girlfriend, and the lead singer knows that I like Y, so he gives me advice on how to confess. Now that I think about it, her original intention was to let me try the taste of failure myself, so that I could retreat. Then when I gave up, she was announcing her affair with Y.
But where did I know this at the time, I only thought that I was being played by the two of them together, and after my brother found out about this, he beat Y severely. Shortly after that, the death of my parents hit me a second time. β
This is a sad story, but Anxi said it with a smile, and sure enough, the core of comedy is tragedy.
However, her smile was better than the flowers, brighter than the sun, and as she said, the past had long since dissipated like a cloud of smoke.
Anxi, who had laughed enough, picked up Martin: "This Martin is not expensive, but this is my most precious thing, it is a pleasure to meet you today, and thank you for untying my heart knot, if you don't mind, I want to give this Martin to you." β
"No, no, no. Zhao Shoushi, who hurriedly pushed back, said: "A gentleman doesn't take advantage of people, you didn't go out of your own city before, so you didn't dare to move this guitar, for fear of seeing things and thinking about people." Now that you're relieved, I think..."
"Please don't say no, now that I own a musical instrument shop, I don't have time to play music. If I want to play music that day, I'll go to you, and you can lend it to me. β
Stuffing Martin back into Zhao Punctuality's arms, Anxi looked at Zhao Punctual expectantly: "If you feel sorry for it, leave me an audio file of the song just now." β
"I'm so happy, the song itself is for people to listen to, but I don't have an audio file in my hand, and my friend introduced me to the recording studio opposite. As a result, the door was not opened. Zhao Punctuality, who was apologetic, pointed to the still closed Azure recording studio opposite.
"That shop, the owner has gone to the Maldives. β
Anxi comforted: "It's too unfortunate that you came, he just left yesterday, and he will come back in at least half a month." If you're not looking for audio quality, the two of us can try this as a pairing. β
