Li Qian came to the house of Teacher Qi Jie for the second time.

After a few days, the room at this time was spotlessly clean, and everything was put in order.

This time, Li Qian's treatment was an extra cup of coffee.

It's just that the two are opposite, but the embarrassment still lingers.

"It was so clean. Li Qian boasted.

Qi Jie smiled, "Just now...... Thank you. ”

"Hey!", Li Qian shook his head, "I didn't help anything, I just stood next to me and filled the number." ”

Qi Jie glanced up at him and said, "I remember that when I taught you, your temperament was much more lively than now, especially your mouth, I seem to be able to say it in my impression, why have you become so honest now?"

"Uh......" Li Qian was slightly stunned when he heard this, when he thought about it, he felt that there was really such a thing, when he first came to this world, he seemed to be particularly able to flamboyate, of course, in fact, now in front of Wang Jinglu, in front of his parents and parents, he still subconsciously wants to flam his tongue, but when facing others, this mouth is becoming more and more honest.

After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe I think ...... Flim tongue is not pleasing to girls?", he laughed himself, explaining: "Just kidding, you are my teacher!"

Qi Jie smiled, took a sip of coffee from the cup, it was too hot, and glanced up at Li Qian, there were some things that he wanted to say, but he didn't want to say it. In the end, she just smiled and said: "Boys like you, don't care if you are honest or flamboyant, girls like them." Handsome. No human rights!"

Li Qian glanced up at her in surprise. He shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and lowered his head.

I haven't seen each other for two months, and something seems to have changed in Teacher Qi Jie.

This change does not mean that she has cut off her original ponytail and replaced it with straight Sassoon hair that looks more energetic and mature, nor is it that she no longer seems to be paying much attention to the little frame she used to have when she was a teacher, but ...... The spirit of her whole person, the momentum and taste of her whole person. It seems that there has been quite a change.

Look...... More capable?

In short, more outgoing, more direct, and of course, the speech is indeed a lot sharper.

After a while, she took the initiative to speak and asked, "You...... Still writing songs?"

Li Qian smiled and nodded, "I'm writing, I'm going to rely on this to eat in the future!"

Qi Jie nodded and said, "You give Liao Liao those songs." It's really red now, huh. It's all good, I've heard a lot of songs you wrote, hehe, eavesdropping on them without you knowing, they're all good, you're very talented!"

Li Qian smiled, nodded, and said, "Thank you." ”

Then, he hesitated, as if to say something, but after a moment's hesitation, he turned to the room and said, "Here...... Still used to it?"

Qi Jie looked around at her house, smiled, and said, "It's good to live alone, it used to live with my parents, I don't have to cook, I don't even have to clean up, everything is ready-made, and now I have moved out...... Except for being a little tired, everything else is better, freer, more free, and more ...... Anyway, it's good, you moved out for this, right?"

Li Qian smiled and wanted to explain a few words, but finally nodded, "Almost, young man, you want to be at ease." ”

Qi Jie smiled and nodded when she heard this.

Then, she took a shallow sip of her coffee, bowed her head for a moment, and said, "So ......"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then put down the coffee cup and stood up, smiling apologetically, "Oh, yes...... I'm sorry to bother you for so long, then I'll go back first, and we'll talk when I have time. ”

Qi Jie also put down the coffee cup and stood up, smiled, and said, "Okay, then...... See you later. ”

"See you later. ”

Li Qian got up and walked out.

However, he had only walked out a few steps, and Qi Jie behind him suddenly said, "I know, you must want to ask something, right?"

Li Qian turned around and looked at her.

She smiled, sat down again, pointed to the sofa, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Come on, if you want to ask, just ask?" I know that Liao Liao has actually been quite curious...... Do you want to ask me why I'm angry?"

Li Qian thought about it, also went back to sit down, and said, "It's a little curious." But if it's not convenient for you to say, it's actually ......."

"Nothing was inconvenient. Qi Jie said, "I just ...... Just ......"

She smiled self-deprecatingly again and said, "Do you remember a song you wrote yourself?" Her arm waved subconsciously and shouted in a suppressed voice, "Because we were born free!"

Of course, not a word is on the tone.

Li Qian nodded, "That song is called "Little Bird". Have you heard?"

Qi Jie nodded and said with a smile: "Do you know? Actually, since I knew that you were the one singing on the rooftop of the building, I have always felt that you are not you, I have always felt that you are not you, I have always felt that you are ...... Uh, I don't know how to describe it, it's like ...... It's as if you actually have another person living in your head, a ...... A wise old fellow who is so wise that people are scared! In short, your words and deeds, your actions, your songs, and your people, all give me a feeling of maturity that is not like words! Just like that song, I remember vividly how you roared and shouted the lyrics that day, and I remember that I ...... at the time."

She smiled, frowned, and said, "I remember that when I heard this, I cried so much!"

Li Qian listened quietly all the time, interjected at the right time, and asked, "So, then what?"

Qi Jie said, "Then ...... And then I kept thinking, I kept thinking, what is born free, what is born free, how can I be free? I never figured it out...... No, I understand, it's just that I've been hesitating, and I'm reluctant to throw something away. Then, Liao Liao came, and then, I introduced you to each other, and I felt in a trance, ah, it turns out that dealing with you is such a fun thing, you see, whether it is you or Liao Liao, you are the kind of people who can pick up the guitar and play a piece of music casually. I just think. in your lives. You can write songs, Liao Liao can release records, you are all doing what you love to do, and then you can both get a proper income and continue to do what you love...... At that time, I thought I was so lucky to be friends with you......"

Hearing this, Li Qian nodded suddenly. Seems to understand something.

Seeing his appearance, Qi Jie also smiled and nodded, "That's right, so...... Hehe, I really felt quite sad at the time, there was a kind of ...... It's a feeling of being cut off by your geniuses!"

Li Qian nodded and said, "It's a little late, but it's ...... I'm sorry, I'm not trying to ......."

"I know, I know, I know it......" she interrupted with a quick laugh. "Actually, I understood it at the time, and Liao Liao told me later. This is the default rule in your industry, and I understand better that I just can't control myself, and I just can't control myself and I'm sad and disappointed...... But now it's okay......."

She smiled, there was an indescribable brilliance on her face, and then, she looked around her room, her expression was indescribably proud, "I resigned, I lived according to the route designed and prescribed for me by my parents for more than twenty years, and now, I am free!" Then, I sold my little car, only drove it for more than a year, and it was ninety percent new, although it was a little discounted, but with a little private money I had saved in the past two years, it was enough to save the original price of the car, and then I returned the bride price, so my marriage was also free, hehe, although I was a little poor, but ...... It feels good!"

Li Qian looked at her and nodded solemnly, "Congratulations!"

Qi Jie smiled, nodded, and said, "Thank you." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qian asked again: "So, you are ...... now"

"That's right, selling cosmetics. She smiled and said: "The internship period is three months, three hundred yuan a month, there is a commission, and no matter what education you have, as long as you can speak well and can sell things, it is best like me, the skin is okay, and you can do a live advertisement or something, so ...... It only took me a month and a half to end the internship period ahead of schedule, and now the basic salary is 800 yuan a month, plus the commission, the income is not bad, and then, before moving, I was just promoted to be the team leader of our counter, hehe...... I'm going to do it for a few more months, and then I'll find a way to represent my own brand......"

Li Qian held the coffee cup in his hand and took a sip from time to time, listening to her gushing about her current achievements, and watching the excitement that naturally released on her face, he couldn't help but feel happy for her.

Don't say that the profession of a teacher is more decent, don't say that the teacher's income is more stable, and the future life is more secure, etc., of course, some people are willing to live that kind of life, but obviously, Qi Jie doesn't like it, and now, she got rid of the stability and decency in the past and lived the life she liked...... Is there anything better in the world than this?

"Congratulations!" Li Qian sent out his heartfelt congratulations.

Qi Jie smiled, put down the coffee cup, and she even joked: "So, if you want to give Wang Jinglu any gift in the future, please try to consider the cosmetics I represent!

Li Qian smiled and nodded, "No problem!"

Frankly speaking, after talking about the little misunderstanding that happened between each other, Li Qian felt that Qi Jie was a very cute girl.

Like the girls he met in his previous life, simple, sincere, pursuing, and a little idealistic, but daring to stride towards the goal...... To tell the truth, after living to be in her thirties, in the face of such a vibrant little girl, Li Qian couldn't help but be a little envious and a little ashamed of himself.

After coming to this time and space, he said that he wanted to re-experience his youth, but in fact, Li Qian knew very well in his heart that the youth of bullshit was ...... A person in his thirties, no matter how much you imitate and try to find that youthful feeling, how can it be?

Just like the illusion that Qi Jie just said: although he is only seventeen years old, his mentality has already aged so old that he has become middle-aged.

So he bowed his head and was silent, and his mood suddenly fell.

At this time, Qi Jie seemed to notice Li Qian's abnormality, she stopped talking, and when Li Qian looked over, she asked with a smile: "So...... Another cup of coffee?"

"Oh, no!" Li Qian put down the cup and explained with a smile, "I don't dare to drink too much, I'm afraid that if I drink too much coffee, I will be too excited!"

Qi Jie nodded and hesitated. Say, "So...... I'm not your teacher now. But I still hope to be friends with you...... This one. Is that okay?"

Li Qian smiled, and then nodded very seriously, "Of course!"

After a pause, he said self-deprecatingly, "As long as you don't think I'm still a little kid, or...... Don't dislike another old man in my head......"

Qi Jie laughed.

"That's the way you speak!"

Li Qian smiled.

Then, Qi Jie stopped suddenly, and after a moment, she raised her head. looked at Li Qian with a look of hope, "That'...... Can you sing that ...... "Little Bird" to me again?"

Li Qian nodded, "Of course, now?"

Qi Jie said, "Now!"

Li Qian smiled, stood up and said, "Wait for me, I'll go get the guitar!"

After saying that, he opened the door and went home to get the guitar, and came back quickly, but just as he sat down on the sofa, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling with his finger, and said, "Do you want to go upstairs?"

Qi Jie's eyes lit up. "Okay, let's go upstairs!"

So, the two went out. Climbed directly to the top of the building - although one was a teaching building and the other was a residential building, in a trance, the feeling of hiding in the corridor and listening to Li Qian singing suddenly came back.

So Li Qian gently strummed the strings, and quickly became violent, and began to sing: "Ideals are always flying around, ethereal, and reality is still real, and it is impossible to hide." ……”

Suddenly, Qi Jie felt that her heart was suddenly picked up, the familiar chords, the familiar roar, made her recall all the things of the day for a moment, and in a moment, her nose became sour......

Li Qian sang very emotionally...... This "Little Bird" was originally a work that he personally liked quite a lot.

Singing and singing, he unconsciously closed his eyes and swayed his body to the rhythm.

Qi Jie looked at him in a daze, even though she was already trying to control, trying to control...... But......

…………

After a rough repetition of the strings, the guitar stopped.

After playing the last note, Li Qian slowly exhaled and opened his eyes.

Qi Jie looked up at him, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she was ashen and haggard.

Then she raised her hands, buried her whole face in the palms of her hands, and began to cry.

Added up to the two lives, Li Qian has never heard of someone crying so aggrieved and so broken, it seems that the grievances that have accumulated for decades or even a lifetime have been vented at this time.

He didn't say anything, and he wasn't even ready to go over and persuade her.

Sighing, he moved the guitar to his side, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, looked at Qi Jie, hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a cigarette, lit it with a snap, and took a deep puff.

For Qi Jie, this should be a good catharsis, but for himself, why not?

He is now in the music industry, and he has faintly begun to have a sense of success, at least on the road to success, and if nothing else, the road ahead should be smooth.

But from time to time, he also feels lonely and lonely.

…………

Smoke erupted from his mouth and nose, and was soon dispersed by the cool September breeze.

He took another deep puff and spit out......

For example, as a musician and a singer, he understands very well that smoking is not good for his throat, and even smoking is not good at all, and in fact, when he first crossed over, his original body did not have any addiction to smoking, but is smoking addiction really a physical problem?

Whenever you are happy, whenever you are lost, whenever you are lonely, whenever you are lonely...... He still wants to get his hands on a cigarette.

…………

Qi Jie cried and whimpered, covering her face with her hands, sobbing, her body trembling violently, but it was not heartbreaking.

She seems to be just venting her past grievances and hesitations...... Not angry.

Li Qian sniffed, took another deep puff, and then spit out a long ......

Then, he crouched down and extinguished the cigarette on the ground, which had only taken a few puffs, and put most of the remaining cigarette back into the cigarette case.

Qi Jie had cried so much that it seemed that it would never end.

Li Qian sat there, looking at her lightly, like looking at a little girl who had lost a rag doll.

…………

I don't know how long it was, it could be a few minutes, or it could be dozens of minutes, Qi Jie's crying finally became smaller and weaker, and finally almost stopped, leaving only a sobbing sound from time to time......

After another while, she finally stopped completely, and only then did she raise her head and look at Li Qian.

Li Qian was looking at her, smiled when he saw this, and said, "Are you crying?"

Qi Jie stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, face, and jaw, sneered, and said, "You smoked just now, don't think I didn't see it!"

Li Qian smiled, "If you are greedy, you will occasionally take two puffs, and you don't dare to smoke more, so you have to protect your throat." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a pack of tissues from his trouser pocket and handed it over.

Qi Jie took it with a smile, teasing him, "Don't you often make Wang Jinglu cry, so prepared?" while pulling out a tissue to wipe her tears. rubbed it, but said helplessly: "I know I'm going to cry, I know I'm going to cry when I hear this song, but ...... I didn't expect that I would cry like this. ”

Li Qian smiled, his expression calm from beginning to end, "It's not a bad thing for a woman to cry." A woman who can cry is beautiful. ”

Qi Jie sneered again when she heard this, "How do you feel that you are completely different from you an hour ago?

Li Qian still smiled and didn't answer.

It took four tissues to finally wipe the tears on her face, and after throwing the remaining half of the pack of tissues to Li Qian, she stood up, "I cried happily, it was really cool!"

Li Qian smiled again, but still didn't speak.

Qi Jie looked at him and asked, "Hey, don't tell me that you really have an old man in your head, how old are you, how could you write such a song?"

Li Qian pointed at himself and said with a smile: "I am a genius!"

Qi Jie "cut" and glanced at him, as if he was laughing at Li Qian's stinky beauty.

After a pause, she took a deep breath, looked at the still brilliant and violent sunlight not far away, and said, "Thank you for the song! I'm already crying, let's go down!"

Li Qian stood up with a smile and walked downstairs with her.

Then the two of them didn't say a word more, walked to the third floor, said goodbye to each other, and went back to their respective homes.

It's just that after returning to his home, Li Qian stood on the balcony, looked at the opposite building, looked at the flower bed downstairs, and the few children who were frolicking next to the flower bed, and sighed unconsciously.

After a few moments, he pulled out his phone, typed a few words, and pressed send.

Then, he took out the cigarette case again, knocked out the remaining half of the cigarette he had just smoked, wanted to light it, hesitated, sighed, and put it back again.

"I miss you. He said.
