Chapter Twenty-Three: The Man on the Rooftop

I love that song!

I'd like to hear it again, no...... I'd like to listen to that song a few more times!

Before going upstairs, to be exact, before deciding to come to school, this was the firmest thought in Qi Jie's heart.

Many people may never encounter this kind of thing in their lives, but there are still some people who are always at a loss in their lives, until suddenly one day, he, or she, is suddenly woken up by a certain poem, a certain novel, a certain movie, a certain song, or even a certain sentence that someone unintentionally receives......

Then, whether it is a song, a movie, a novel, or a poem, this thing will definitely bring great changes to this person, and incidentally, this work will also become an unforgettable turning point in this person's life.

This kind of deep memory will last until old age, and even, until death!

Of course, it may also be that many people have experienced it, but they will selectively forget it...... No, in fact, I haven't forgotten, it's just that don't worry, when you get old, when you start to like to remember something, you will find that you still remember that sentence, that melody, that line, or ...... That one look.

This kind of thing, people have given it a not-so-accurate name, it's called, branding.

And now, such a song, a song with some madness and roar, is still imprinted on Qi Jie's heart.

Whether it's pretending to be confused or hiding her thoughts, it's just to others, and in the face of herself, she can't deceive.

So, she's going to find that song!

So, she came to Jinan National No. 13 Middle School.

Parking the car outside the school as usual, she came to the front of the teaching building under the sun as she did yesterday.

Stand in front of the building, cross your waist and tilt your head.

She couldn't have seen anything, but she stood there for at least a minute.

It seemed that it was only all of a sudden that a question occurred to her: what if the people upstairs didn't sing that song today?

Then, in an instant, her mind shifted, and she suddenly recalled the question that had occurred in her mind when she first heard the man sing: Who was the man singing on the rooftop terrace?

This thought came to me instantly, but it did not disappear suddenly, but suddenly became hot as Qi Jie withdrew his gaze and began to walk into the corridor.

Just now, she just wanted to listen to the song and hear the song that moved her, but now, she suddenly wanted to know who the person who sang was it, and she had an extremely strong impulse in her heart!

"This time, I'm going to have to go up and have a look!" she thought.

On weekends, the campus is so quiet.

As soon as she walked to the second floor, Qi Jie had already heard the fluttering sound of the guitar.

"He's there!"

She was convinced, and she rejoiced. So the steps became more and more brisk.

Well, he should be a student, there is probably no doubt about this, if it was a teacher at school, he probably wouldn't run to the roof every afternoon to play the guitar and sing?

So...... What kind of student should he be?

Is it really like the last time I imagined that half-long hair, slightly thin, calm, and shy?

He has sung those beautiful campus ballads, and he has also sung several beautiful love songs, well, Qi Jie actually doesn't understand this, her classification is judged by the lyrics, anyway, they are all beautiful melodies that have never been heard, and yesterday, he also sang a song like that!

Bitterness, loss, anger, irritability, hysteria......

Slowly climbing the stairs without stopping, Qi Jie's heart was beating faster and faster.

"I hope he must be handsome!"

This idea popped up inexplicably in her heart, Qi Jie was stunned for a moment, and almost burst out laughing.

I'm just curious about who that person is, where he heard that song, what's the matter with other people's beauty and ugliness?

Fifth floor up.

She stood and listened.

Well, a beautiful melody...... In recent days, she has really listened to him play the guitar in his hand more and more smoothly, better and better, and more and more varied.

"Before, people started harvesting in April,

Lying on top of a high pile of grain and laughing,

I walked through the golden wheat fields,

Go sing to the scarecrow,

Wait for the wind to blow.

You pass by a town called 'I',

Just the snow on the roof turned into rain and fell,

You're wearing transparent clothes,

Sing to me alone,

It's all my favorite songs.

We go to the lake of the savannah,

Waiting for the migratory birds to fly back,

When we're all grown up, we'll have a baby,

He will grow up on his own, and we will go away,

I write to you, and you won't reply,

So be it.

……”

Qi Jie's mouth opened slightly, his eyes were blank, but he stared slightly, and his pupils shrunk.

Again...... What song?

Dream-like feeling.

It's a pity that she came late, this should be the next run, and it will be over soon.

Upstairs suddenly shut down, listening to the movement, it seemed to be drinking water.

She suddenly swallowed her saliva and reached out to pat her chest, feeling extremely nervous inexplicably.

"I don't know what the song was called, but it's really ...... Good. And the lyrics ...... "She wandered around with these thoughts in her head, hesitated for a moment, licked her lips, took a deep breath, and suddenly stepped upstairs."

Da! Da! Da!

It is really difficult not to be noticed when you go upstairs with high heels, as long as you don't deliberately light it up and hide it.

Upstairs seemed to be about to tune the strings, and when I heard the movement, I couldn't help but stop.

Qi Jie quickened his pace.

Thirty-six steps.

High heels da-da.

The light in the corridor suddenly dimmed, and Qi Jie subconsciously looked up.

Then, as if she had been immobilized, she was stunned.

"Li Qian?" she exclaimed.

"Teacher Qi?" Li Qian was obviously a little surprised.

Qi Jie had a moment of panic in her heart: although she had already guessed that the person singing on the roof of the building must be a student from this school, she never expected that this student was not only from this school, but also from her own class!

Since the day she entered the first year of high school, she has taught Li Qian for two years!

And Li Qian still belongs to the kind of student who impresses her more!

Although they don't have a deep relationship with each other, they see each other almost every day...... It's so cooked!

So much so that at this moment, there was a panic in her heart that the secret in her heart had been broken!

Moreover, I am really too familiar, the fantasies, mysteries, and curiosity of the people who sing on the rooftop...... Crash!

It turned out to be ...... Li Qian!

What a disappointment, what a disappointment!

Even she couldn't tell where this feeling of disappointment came from, in fact, when Li Qian appeared at the entrance of the rooftop, when she looked up and saw that face clearly, especially when he shouted the three words "Teacher Qi", boom, Li Qian's voice and the voice of the person on the roof of the building sang at once-she was sure that the person who sang and cried yesterday must be him!

But at this moment, she was very disappointed in her heart!

How could it be him?

Why is it him!

At this moment, she suddenly felt that it seemed that before boarding the teaching building, she should have some kind of hope in her heart...... Indecent desire to meet someone, or even a relationship?

This idea suddenly popped up and startled Qi Jie.

Hope, desire, affection?

With Li Qian?

Stop it!

Well, although I didn't know that the person who sang was Li Qian before I came up, ...... I had already guessed that he should be a student! a high school student!

"I'm going crazy!" she thought, "how could I have such thoughts!"

At this time, Li Qian's surprise faded slightly, so he greeted honestly, "Hello Teacher Qi!"

When Qi Jie heard this, he quickly suppressed all the messy thoughts in his heart, and by pulling his hair behind his ears, he also did a good job of covering up the panic just now. She smiled and nodded, and said as she slowly walked upstairs, "You're okay too!"

Coming to the rooftop while speaking, Li Qian retreated first, and Qi Jie also walked out.

Then, she pretended to look around, then turned her head to look at Li Qian, and said: "I remembered that something was left in the office, so I came back to get it, and when I walked to the third floor, I heard someone playing the guitar and singing, and the teacher was curious, so I thought about coming up to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you! Why, I didn't go on a date on a big weekend, and I came here alone to practice singing?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "I like this more recently, and I am afraid of disturbing others, so I remember that there is no one on the roof of the teaching building, so I come over every day to practice for a while." ”

Qi Jie nodded, this time the panic was gone, she immediately regained the feeling of facing the students, looked down with a smile, and sure enough, she saw a few simple things - a guitar case, there was a large book full of music scores on the guitar case, and next to the guitar case, there was a most ordinary large plastic water cup.

Now, all the movements I heard in the corridor in the past are all right!

Turning his head to look at Li Qian again, he had a headset with earphones around his neck, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, and there was already sweat on his forehead, and the T-shirt was also attached to his body, which looked like it was not light.

After thinking about it, she asked, "When the teacher came up just now, I heard you sing a song, which is very good, but I don't seem to have heard it before, what's your name?"

Li Qian said: "It's called "If There Is an Afterlife". ”

When Qi Jie heard this, she suddenly fell into a trance.

You wear transparent clothes and sing to me alone......

We went to the lake in the savannah and waited for the migratory birds to fly back......

When we all grow up, we will have a baby......

He will grow up on his own, and we will go away......

I'm writing to you, and you won't reply......

Thinking back to the lyrics that she had just heard, she suddenly muttered, "I see...... It's all in the next life, and if there is an afterlife......

At this moment, her mood suddenly dropped.

But fortunately, she still knew that there were others in front of her, so she quickly came back to her senses, smiled reluctantly, and praised: "The song is good, the words are good, and the name is ...... Better!"

Li Qian smiled, well concealed the surprise in his eyes, nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Qi Jie put away her smile and was slightly distracted for a moment, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, you sing very well." I didn't expect you to play the guitar so well and sing so well...... Ah, by the way, who is the original singer of this song?"

Li Qian hesitated when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and scratch his head, but he held back, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "This song ...... I wrote it myself. ”

Qi Jie was originally smiling, but she was suddenly stunned when she heard the words.

With a smile still on her face, she blinked, as if suspecting that she had misheard, "You...... Myself...... Songs written?"

Li Qian nodded.

Qi Jie blinked again, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Li Qian...... Write your own songs?
