"Xixi, Xixi, what are you thinking!" Cheng Mingming's voice was as low as a whisper.

Jiang Youxi came to his senses and smiled, "It's nothing, I remembered some things from before." ”

Cheng Mingming didn't ask, she was just Jiang Youxi's agent.

Although as a broker, it is best to establish a good personal relationship with your own clients.

If there is only a cold working relationship, such a broker is often unable to accompany the client to the end.

But she has no intention of playing the role of a bosom sister.

This kind of role is not for her.

So she will occasionally say softly, "If you want to say it, sister, listen", but she will never say words of comfort or explanation.

Now Jiang Youxi doesn't want to say it, and she won't ask more.

Jiang Youxi looked up at the simple lines on the ceiling, recalling the shock of watching the curtain call of the band Grimace live.

It was in an abandoned factory that used to be a state-owned factory, but it was said to be demolished to make way into a villa area.

The factory was stuffy, the air was not good, and the smell of sweat, smoke, alcohol and some people's fox smell were mixed together.

But hundreds of young people walked around excitedly, not paying the slightest attention to the unpleasant smell.

They discuss the great performances they are about to see and lament the imminent disbandment of Grimace.

A few old fans with paint off are squeaking and blowing, but they can't blow away the heat in people's hearts.

Jiang Youxi held the hand of a girl, who was the daughter of the owner of the musical instrument store, whose name was Lu Danqing, two years older than him.

Lu Danqing is handsome, about to turn 18 years old, and his youthful atmosphere is compelling.

The soft and slender waist, and the stiffness under the waist, always firmly attracted Jiang Youxi's attention.

When he entered the door just now, Jiang Youxi was very nervous.

Because he only has one ticket.

But Lu Danqing likes these underground bands very much, especially the Grimace band.

If she hadn't taken her with her if she hadn't taken her with him, she wouldn't have kissed him with her sweet, glutinous little mouth for a week, nay, a month.

Fortunately, the few guarding the door glanced at the tickets, smiled at Lu Danqing, and let them in.

I remember it vividly until some people carried drums and put them on the makeshift stage and set up the lights.

Soon the four members of the Grimace Band entered the venue with their heads down, dressed very casually, each wearing a grimace mask, and their faces could not be seen.

What followed was like a carnival dream.

Blurred, confused, high-pitched.

Crazy music, frantically wagging arms, screams of women, stomping of men.

The four people on the stage, like gods, dominated the joys, sorrows and sorrows of hundreds of people here.

People sweat like rain and passion, shouting with that beautiful music, with the most intense writhing to release all kinds of suppressed emotions in their hearts.

Jiang Youxi can't remember what he did at that performance.

In retrospect, it should have been with everyone, waving, shouting, twisting the waist, stomping feet, and so on.

After the end, he excitedly grabbed Lu Danqing's little hand and chatted with her a lot. Talking about music, talking about dreams, probably these, I can't remember clearly.

Lu Danqing was wilder than him at the performance scene before, but at this time he calmed down and smiled at him gently, with a jasmine-scented shampoo mixed with a slight smell of sweat.

He wanted to smell more.

Lu Danqing did not perform well in the college entrance examination, and he was ready to repeat his studies for another year to take the 985 school.

So she was very depressed a while ago.

Jiang Youxi sincerely hopes that watching the performance of the Grimace Band this time will make her feel better and get into a good university next year.

The two did not rush back, but went around to a nearby park.

When there was no one around, Lu Danqing suddenly became short of breath.

Jiang Youxi read her eyes.

After all, he's the best at reading words.

After a little hesitation, he decided to go along with his desires and hers.

In a secluded corner, two teenagers and girls completed their first exploration of a new territory in their lives.

He felt like he would never forget that scene.

The delicate girl's long hair was scattered, falling on the snow-white fragrant shoulders, and the delicate white hands supported the pimple bark, gritting her teeth, looking back at him, her eyes were extremely complicated.

In the following year, Lu Danqing was busy studying, while Jiang Youxi was working part-time while learning music theory knowledge hungrily.

The two don't go on many dates.

I can't count the exact number of times, but certainly no more than 10 times.

On average, less than once a month.

As for the fewer opportunities to do that, the only few times were in the corners of the park.

In the same position.

Then in May 2000, Jiang Youxi was selected to become Huayu's trainee, signed a deed of sale that could make him soar and prosper, or let him waste the best time of his life, and left Mingxin Musical Instrument Company.

However, Lu Danqing's examination score was still not satisfactory and he could not reach the admission line of Fudan University.

But because her family is from the north, there is still a house in the north.

If she goes to a school in the north and looks for connections, she can go to a highly-ranked 985 school.

So, after several considerations, the boss dismissed the clerk, sold the Mingxin musical instrument store, and returned to the north with his family.

Later, Jiang Youxi and Lu Danqing also chatted with LL on the phone for a long time.

But the daily life of a trainee is boring, and the daily schedule is quite full, and there is no extra time to talk about love.

It's not that he doesn't like Lu Danqing.

But I really didn't have time to think about her.

He had more important things to do.

I guess so is she.

And after entering the university, she has also changed a lot.

Gradually, the two became less and less connected, and their tone became weaker and weaker.

Finally, I don't know when, Jiang Youxi found out that he had not been in contact with Lu Danqing for more than half a year.

And then a year.

At the end of 2000, a singer named "Peng Sizhang" was born and quickly gained a foothold in the music world with classic songs.

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Jiang Youxi actually didn't feel strange.

The lead singer of the Ghost Face Band, "Blue-Faced Ghost" could not be an ordinary person.

And with "Lin Ke" writing songs for him, its rise is almost inevitable.

As for Lin Ke, a handsome guitarist called "Xiao Ke" by the drummer, because of his charming voice and special gentleness to female fans, he is called "Flower Heart Ghost".

Jiang Youxi only knows his surname Du.

As for the specific name, it was not until 2002, shortly before the photography scandal broke out, that he learned by chance.

The other two members of Ghostface, the drummer and the bass player known on stage as "Rapunzel", have been unknown.

There was no chance to see each other again.

Then last year, he finally inquired about the hermitage of "Lin Ke" Du Caige.

Although he was shy in his pocket, he still spent a lot of money to rent the house on the top floor of that unit, only looking forward to meeting Du Caige by chance one day.

He was looking forward to what Du Caige would look like when he recognized him.

At that time, he would tell Du Caige loudly: "It was you who set me on the path of music." ”

Thinking of this, Jiang Youxi shook his head and smiled.

"Sister Mingming, do you remember, when we asked Brother Du to write a song for me, he said that I was actually more suitable for acting. ”

"Yes, remember. ”

Jiang Youxi smiled again, with some sparkle in his eyes: "Actually, I also know that my talent in singing is not particularly good." ”

"It's actually pretty good. Cheng Ming said pertinently.

"Not bad, that is, not good enough. So Brother Du really wrote songs for me because he regarded me as a friend and gave me face. Otherwise, with my qualifications, he would not be interested in working with me at all, because I would not have been able to meet his requirements. ”

Cheng Mingming asked, "What do you think his requirements are?"

"At least become a singer. ”

"How is it possible, the singer is not so cheap. ”

"But you see, Du Ge has only written more than 3 songs for 6 people and 1 band. ”

Cheng Mingming is also an insider, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded: "That's the case." ”

"The band is the Walker Band, a palace-level band in China, which was originally the top, and now it has become a legend, second to none. ”

"Those 6 people, all of them are singers and queens. There are exactly 3 singers and 3 queens. The difference is only that Li Lingyu already had the title of queen of songs before she met Du Ge. The other 5 were all picked up by Du Ge. ”

Jiang Youxi's face was full of self-deprecation: "So, I said that Brother Du's requirements for cooperative singers are at least singers, right?"

Cheng Mingming was silent for a moment: "That's right. ”

"And Du Ge wrote me 5 songs. ”

"Yes. ”

"So, deep down, he's expecting me to be the next singer, right?"

"Perhaps. ”

Jiang Youxi closed his eyes in pain: "But I don't have this qualification." I can work my singing skills, but I don't have a good voice, my ceiling is here. How can I become a singer? How can I become a singer?"

Cheng Mingming sighed and said, "Don't push yourself too hard." There are some things that cannot be obtained by hard work. I know you're very lost, but you're an adult, I won't coax you anymore, the world won't coax you anymore, you have to learn to accept this loss. ”

"The world has never coaxed me," Jiang Youxi tried to squeeze out a smile, "What do you think I should do, Sister Mingming?"

Cheng Mingming patted him heavily on the shoulder: "As an agent, of course I hope you will accept all the notices and endorsements, this is all money, and I want to eat just right." ”

After a pause, she smiled again: "But as your sister, I have to say, money, just enough." People still have to have some other pursuits, and they can't fall into the eyes of money. ”

Jiang Youxi's eyes were a little gloomy: "But what else can I pursue." ”

"Don't ask me, I'm not your mom and can't help you make any decisions. Cheng Mingming finished the last sip of beer, got up and threw it into the trash, and then picked up his bag.

"I'm too lazy to go back, just sleep upstairs for the night, no problem. ”

"It's okay, sister, you are free. ”

"Then I'll go take a shower first. Don't stay up too late, tomorrow's schedule is very tight, I asked Li Jiaqi and the driver to wait downstairs at 6:30 tomorrow morning. ”

"Got it. ”

Waiting for Cheng Mingming to leave, Jiang Youxi returned to his previous posture and looked up at the ceiling.

"What should I do?"
