The boyfriend didn't come for a long time, and it seemed impossible to propose, so Jolene asked the two friends to go back first. But the two of them are also quite embarrassed, the task has not been completed, and it is not easy to say that they will leave. But Jolene was angry, and after she finished settling the account, she grabbed her backpack and walked out: "If you don't go, then I'll go." ”

Zhao Linlin and Xu Na had no choice but to send her to the subway station. However, after the two best friends turned away, Jolene turned back and returned to the restaurant she had just had.

She didn't know why she wanted to come back, she was obviously angry, but she wanted to be alone. She ordered a strong Americano and decided not to sleep for the rest of the night.

Wei Chenglin sent her a message and asked her where she was, he happened to come back from out of town and wanted to say happy birthday to her in person. Qiao Lin was angry and didn't tell him, he said again: "I saw Sun Ruiyang just now, he ran quite fast, he should pass in a while." ”

Wei Chenglin said again: "Anyway, I'm very excited tonight, and I guess I can't sleep, just have a drink with the two of you, and the night will be over." ”

Jolene stopped screwing and sent the address. Wei Chenglin said that the road is still quite congested, and it may take a while to arrive. But unexpectedly, he still arrived earlier than Sun Ruiyang, and Qiao Lin sat alone in the corner drinking stuffy wine, oh no, it was stuffy coffee.

Although they all grew up together, Wei Chenglin had hardly seen Qiao Lin's makeup, and like Zhao Linlin and Xu Na, he was stunned for a while. It seems that she dressed up well, and it was indeed more amazing than she imagined.

She is so good-looking, only the eyeliner is spent, she must have secretly cried. Wei Chenglin came in a hurry, and he didn't bring her any gifts, let alone how to comfort her. He saw the piano in the corner and said, "You can specify a tune, and I'll play it for you, okay?"

"Not good. ”

“……”

Wei Chenglin seemed to have been punched, he straightened his posture and ordered wine with the waiter. It seemed that the waiter recognized him, and the little girl covered her mouth in surprise. Wei Chenglin signaled her to keep a low profile, and pointed to Qiao Lin on the opposite side and said, "It's just a friend, don't guess!"

The waiter nodded as if the chicken pecked rice, and when the wine was served, he was very shy to ask Wei Chenglin for an autograph. Wei Chenglin signed it for her very happily, and the waiter jumped up happily, even praising Wei Chenglin for being more handsome than on TV.

This little episode finally attracted Jolene's attention. And Wei Chenglin snapped his fingers proudly and showed off: "Alas, this damn charm really can't be stopped." I'm sitting in this dark corner, still glowing. ”

Jolene stuck her tongue out at him, not really caring about his bragging. Wei Chenglin persistently asked her about the birthday gift she wanted, and Qiao Lin bowed her head and remained silent. Needless to say, her long-awaited birthday wish was once again disappointed. She swiped her phone irritably and said, "Why hasn't Sun Ruiyang come yet? It's okay if he doesn't come, I don't want to pay attention to him anyway." ”

"I saw him get on the subway, but I didn't catch up with him. Wei Chenglin said: "Perhaps, on the subway, what unexpected situation did he encounter?"

Qiao Lin didn't want to accept this kind of comfort, and Wei Chenglin was helpless, so he had to talk about his recent situation. When this contract expires, he plans to come out and go it alone, sign the artists he wants to sign, and make the music he wants to make. He wants to make a lot of money, get into the capital tier, and then raise an esports team.

Jolene didn't understand well, but when she heard the word "e-sports", she remembered a business trip not long ago. That time I went to Shanghai to work as a translator for a game company, and I heard that the event invited a few e-sports gods, but Jolene didn't know them, and she didn't have any intersection with them.

Jolene recalled, "Ah, I had a college classmate who worked at that game, but it wasn't our major. He was so happy to see me that he asked me for a signed T-shirt for the contestants. ”

"Who?!"

Qiao Lin shook her head: "I'm a translator for a foreigner, and I'm a senior executive of their company. That contestant, I don't remember his name, is his surname Li Lai? He seems to have a stage name...... My classmate said that although he retired, he is still a god in the hearts of hundreds of millions of players. ”

Wei Chenglin's eyes were straight: "Li Xiaofeng?"

"Oh, yes! That's the name! I remember, he signed that English name. ”

Wei Chenglin was dumbfounded: "Qiao Lin, no, Sister Qiao Lin, good sister, if you don't like it, can you give me that T-shirt?"

"Well, didn't my parents come a while ago? They packed up their things and threw the T-shirt away. ”

Wei Chenglin took the case, and actually turned around in place twice irritably, which frightened Qiao Lin. She hurriedly sat him down and said, "That T-shirt is of inferior quality, the fabric is quite cheap, there are threads everywhere, no one has worn them, and there is a place to open the thread." My mom said that the T-shirts sent by people who sell fertilizer are of better quality than this, otherwise she wouldn't have thrown them away!"

Wei Chenglin covered his head in pain and said in despair: "The quality of the clothes is a hair! Even if it is a rag, I can supply it! Why are you so ignorant of goods!"

Jolene still couldn't figure it out, "What's so special?"

"That's Li Xiaofeng! It's SKY! It's the same status as Kaka in your heart!"

The circle is different, Qiao Lin can't empathize, and she can't accept Wei Chenglin's madness. She remembered that Wei Chenglin had a few crazy moments, when he was still a chubby panda dumpling, he was obsessed with collecting little raccoon water margin cards. Every time he opens a card, he will have a very sense of ceremony, and even pray. If he gets the same card several times in a row, he will be very depressed, and he can be seen jumping in frustration from afar.

Qiao Lin has never understood his obsession, and what she doesn't understand is that Wei Chenglin is already very popular, who to sign with? Wei Chenglin is still very frustrated, and he prefers to his feet: "That's SKY, I don't know when I'll see him!"

He is so depressed that he looks like a fool, exactly like when he was a child, although he doesn't care about his image, but he is very cute. Jolene couldn't help but be amused by him, and said, "Good guy! The next time I meet him, I'll definitely ask for an autograph for you again." ”

Wei Chenglin drank a glass of beer, not as lost as he was just now. Jolene didn't want to be forced by him anymore, so she proposed, "No one is singing at this time, you can play a tune for me!"

"Okay, what do you want to hear?"

"I sang Ahsan's "Leaves" just now, can you play it?"

Wei Chenglin sneered, for him, "will it be" is simply questioning his ability. However, when he decided to play that piece, he didn't find its melody in his head.

He coughed unnaturally: "That, listen to the song for me first, just listen to it once." ”

This guy really loves to brag, Qiao Lin handed him the mobile phone and headphones, thinking, how could he not have heard the songs that were familiar in that era? However, Wei Chenglin doesn't watch idol dramas, so he may not know!

Three or four minutes passed quickly, Wei Chenglin happily returned the phone to her, and then walked to the piano and played calmly. Jolene was dumbfounded, he had only listened to it once, and he had written it all down?

Wei Chenglin's performance won bursts of applause, and Qiao Lin really felt that he was very powerful. Wei Chenglin wanted to show off again, and pretended to be low-key: "What is this, no matter how complicated the song is, I will memorize it all after listening to it." ”

He lowered his voice again, quite proud: "My ears are the plug-in that God opened for me." ”

It turns out that "absolute tone" is such a magical thing, no wonder Song Minrou always looked at Wei Chenglin when she was a child. If she had this kind of talent, she would have become the top pianist long ago. Qiao Lin has always regarded Wei Chenglin as an ignorant little broken child, but the way he plays the piano is ...... Charismatic indeed.

It wasn't until Wei Chenglin finished playing the piano that Sun Ruiyang called and said that he had met a fainted pregnant woman on the subway, and he had done first aid for her until an ambulance came to take her away. He didn't know what he smelled, he felt that he had an asthma attack, chest tightness and shortness of breath, so it was safer to go back to the hospital for observation first.

Jolene complained about that night, and everything was outrageous. Not only did she think of the eternal proposition - was it fate or coincidence?

Jolene was angry with him, but she didn't bother to blame him. It wasn't an easy night for him, he was so nervous. Qiao Lin decided to visit him in the hospital, and Wei Chenglin also went with him, he didn't seem to like to be alone.

"Don't you want to go, don't you have to work tomorrow?"

"It's okay!" Wei Chenglin said coolly: "I'm used to staying up late, and it doesn't matter if I stay up for a while." ”

It was twelve o'clock, and Sun Ruiyang was lying alone in the ward inhaling oxygen, looking weak. He said sorry to Jolene over and over again, and he still remembered tonight's mission, but his upper and lower eyelids kept fighting. Jolene hurriedly said to him, "Don't worry about anything else, I'll talk about it when you're better." ”

Wei Chenglin teased: "It seems that behind every hero, there will be a lonely woman, Brother Qiao Nan is like this, and you are like this." ”

Most of the heroes are lonely, and so are the women behind them. Although she has friends with her, Jolene has another bleak birthday, and her boyfriend hasn't even eaten a bite of the birthday cake.

The two lyrics of "Leaves" always echoed in her ears: Loneliness is a one's carnival, and carnival is the loneliness of a group of people.

Wei Chenglin didn't leave for a long time, and he even forgot that his agent told him that he would pick him up at his house at six o'clock in the morning. It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that he got on the bus home. Jolene is very strange, he is a big star anyway, won't anyone come to pick him up?

Wei Chenglin said that he deliberately went alone, and for him, loneliness has become a rare freedom. Jolene thought to herself, he wants to start a business, he wants to make the ×best music, he wants to invest in the e-sports industry, who can understand these ideas?
