After that day, Shen Xi would often dream of the microphone and the stage. He sat in the first row of the audience and heard the two presenters sell off in a playful tone, deliberately asking the audience to guess the winner of the award. The trousers of the suit were tightened and loosened, and Shen Xian could feel the sweat slipping down in his underwear, soaking the customized suit specially prepared by Gu Yuebai, but he could only maintain a fixed smile arc on his face, pretending to be calm.

He really wanted to stand up and leave the chaotic scene like Gu Yuebai. It's better to smoke a cigarette or just blow the wind than to be on the big screen and let others observe the details of your expression on the big screen. This is not singing, Shen knows that he can dedicate all his energy to music, he should stand in front of the microphone and burn to ashes, not spend it on the red carpet to put on the perfect side.

This dream seems to have no end for a long time, and the rhythm of his heartbeat gradually accelerates with the beat of the background music, how suffocating, what anticipation, if you don't actually experience it, you will never know. Just when Shen Yan was about to indulge in this sense of oppression, he heard his name.

Just like the scene, Shen Xian didn't know how nervous he was to recite the list of thanks, and the trophy was put into his arms, so heavy that he almost couldn't hold it. The host hugged him and praised the birth of another newcomer Wang without hesitation. All kinds of lights flashed by, and Shen Yan raised his hand and waved at the position of the camera. He knew that he was smiling, and that kind of decent way without losing surprise was also what Gu Yuebai taught him little by little.

"No," the shadow behind the podium suddenly tore through the atmosphere of this dream, "it doesn't belong to you." Only I can dictate these awards. ”

Gu Yuebai's voice followed: "Ah, what's wrong with you?"

It seemed that a switch had been pressed, and Shen Xi suddenly woke up from the fragmented dream, and his heart palpitations accompanied by cold sweat made him look very haggard. He was in Gu Yuebai's villa, and the intensive recording for several days made Shen Shi always maintain a high-intensity working state, and even in his dreams, he tensed his nerves. He felt Gu Yuebai wrap his arms around his shoulders, rubbing his shoulder blades comfortingly, and kept asking about the situation.

"It's just tired. Shen Yan put his chin on Gu Yuebai's shoulder socket tiredly, "I have never tried to stay in the studio for so many days in a row." ”

Gu Yuebai chuckled when she heard this, and let the other party rely on herself: "It's you who are too anxious, planning to record so many singles at the same time, how can you take care of it." ”

"While you can still sing. Shen Xian blinked, and did not dwell on this topic anymore. He reached out somewhere, and the tiger teeth leaked through Gu Yuebai's skin leaking outside his nightgown, which quickly caused a shudder. Even though it was already late at night, Gu Yuebai, who had not indulged for many days, reacted almost immediately, and Shen Xian was very satisfied with his teasing, and hummed softly in the dark.

Gu Yuebai pressed the wandering hand, and responded with an unsteady breath: "Ah Huan, don't make trouble." It's late, you still have work tomorrow. Still, she had no intention of getting up and leaving. Shen vaguely muttered something like that it doesn't matter, as if he was determined to achieve his goal.

"Boss Gu. ”

Gu Yuebai frowned, but still stopped. The comer blocked his way, and couldn't help but pass by, and after seeing Gu Yuebai stop, he greeted: "Long time no see, you still look so young." ”

"Don't dare. Mr. Lin has won the award. She stretched out her right hand and shook it with her. The strength of that person's hand was extremely strong, and Gu Yuebai felt that her palm was strangled to pain, but she still endured this test silently. Lin Shutong is one of the nominal presidents of the company, and after getting acquainted with Gu Yuebai's group in the early years, he let go of anything, and only appeared at various gatherings to take pictures and hook up with some fresh students.

Lin Shutong didn't say much, it seemed that he was just to say hello to him. Gu Yuebai didn't want to think about which girl he came here for this time, so he turned around with his bag and wanted to leave, but the other party suddenly spoke: "Your junior brother has been quite popular recently, why don't you always take him out to see the world?"

"Mr. Lin," Gu Yuebai turned her head back to look at him abruptly, squeezing out a warning response from between her teeth, "His own team is in charge of his affairs." ”

As if he didn't feel Gu Yuebai's nervousness, Lin Shutong hooked the corners of his mouth, stopped talking, and just patted his shoulder and motioned for the bodyguard to leave together. This inexplicable conversation didn't seem to point to anything, but Gu Yuebai still paused and looked at the back of the other party leaving. The hallway is so deep that outside light cannot illuminate every corner, causing the shadows of passers-by to be obscured by darkness. This is the company's internal passage, and the artists and producers who sign contracts on weekdays don't have the opportunity to come in, so it's deserted enough.

"Gu ...... Boss. ”

This is the second time someone has greeted him like this today, and the difference is that this time the young voice is mixed with a little anxiety. The kid named Han Yu was still wearing a bleached shirt, his eyes lowered, his hands entangled in one place and quickly let go, looking a little inexplicably nervous. Gu Yuebai didn't know who brought Han Yu here, but he never asked much about this matter.

"Hello. Gu Yuebai nodded politely and turned sideways to make room for the other party to walk.

When the last rays of light receded from the sky, darkness enveloped the surroundings of the room. Gu Yuebai closed the curtains, blocking the light falling from the stars, and locked the eyes of the visitors in this small room. For his new residence, there was a lack of many decorations with a sense of life, and he knew that this made Han Yu feel uneasy. The other party sat on the sofa restrainedly, his shirt was half open, but he had a youthful and ascetic appearance, and the washing of the e-sports circle in the past few years did not make him look more mature, but always gave Gu Yuebai the illusion that he had not yet stepped out of the campus.

Even seeking money is slower than others, I don't know how long.

Gu Yuebai had some impressions of him, although his eyes were mostly focused on another person five years ago, he still remembered this back. When Han Yu entered the e-sports circle, many media liked to compare him with his senior brother Shen Xi, who was a few years older, although their styles were far from each other, and they rarely communicated. At that time, Gu Yuebai and Shen Xi were in a long quarrel and cold war, and they had no time to manage those gossip that caught the wind and shadows.

"Something's wrong," Han Yu replied honestly, "If the treaty is signed, I won't have that much free time......"

He didn't finish his words, and he didn't need to say anything more, Gu Yuebai had already nodded knowingly.

"You shouldn't be here, I have more connections and resources than I thought. Gu Yuebai leaned against the wall and put the wine glass in his hand on the windowsill. She wore only a piece of housewear, her cuffs were deliberately raised, and she had a tiny tattoo on her bare arm.

Han Yu raised his head to look at him, and said with a half-frown, "You are Gu Yuebai." ”

It sounded like some kind of accusation, but the child looked at him with great seriousness, and there seemed to be some long-brewing emotion in his eyes. The room was a little too stuffy, and Gu Yuebai suddenly felt that her decision to want to chat for a while was a little too stupid, or maybe it was because Han Yu had a sense of déjà vu that would make people involuntarily think of another person.

"Are you still too young, twenty-one, or twenty-two?" she walked up to Han Yu, "If you are more mature, you will understand that I am just a businessman." ”

"But you're Gu Yuebai," Han Yu repeated stubbornly, getting up from his seat.

The two of them were close enough that Gu Yuebai heard each other's rapid breathing. But before she could use this to tease the atmosphere, Han Yu grabbed her sleeve.

-

I don't know how many times I met Shen Xi in an unexpected place, Gu Yuebai was no longer surprised by the breadth of the other party's social coverage. Over the years, she still occasionally pays attention to the news in the entertainment section, knowing that the other party has already won a place in the music scene with her unique style. Few people will mention Shen Xi's famous songs anymore, the success of the past few years has drowned out this singer, and even the media have begun to call Shen Xi a king-level figure.

This may be the help that the person behind Shen Xian can provide, so that he can always stand in the center of the stage, regardless of the wind and rain of the outside world.

"Long time no see. Shen Shi said.

He was more calm than before, Gu Yuebai couldn't connect the other party with the boy who used to hold the guitar in a trance, the two figures appeared in front of him staggered, overlapping and separating, and finally falling apart, leaving only the living one in reality, stretched out his hand to him, and greeted: "How are you doing lately?"

This is a public welfare event, and the attention of the media people is following the hot people. Although Gu Yuebai has long since left the entertainment industry, her reputation in her early years has not been forgotten so quickly, not to mention that Shen Xi has also mentioned this old boss who helped him many times. There was already the sound of flashing lights around, Gu Yuebai took out his best acting skills, held Shen Xi back, and really smiled kindly like a friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"It's not bad," Gu Yuebai commented, while not forgetting to wave in the direction of the camera, and patted Shen Shi's shoulder, "I have also been following Mr. Shen's development, and I am his old fan." The second half of the sentence was said to the camera, and she didn't want to look back to feel the other party's emotions, so she pulled away as before. All kinds of cameras were blocked behind him, and Gu Yuebai was about to leave quietly at the beginning of the event, but he heard someone behind him suddenly calling his name.

It was Shen Shi's voice.

He stopped in the aisle, with few staff members passing by, completely cut off from the noisy surroundings outside. Shen Xian didn't know how he slipped out from under those reporters, with a few drops of sweat on his forehead, he panted and leaned against the wall and sighed: "Gu Yuebai, you are walking too fast." ”

"What?" Gu Yuebai wondered, she wasn't sure what tone she should use to respond to the other party in order to maintain the careful distance between the two. Shen Xian has always been impulsive, compared to Gu Yuebai, he is like a child who will never grow up. Even though the anger and despair brought by Shen Shi entangled Gu Yuebai for a while, every time they met after that, Gu Yuebai still couldn't speak ill of him.

It was so close, and now it's so far.

Shen Xi was wearing a custom-made fitted suit, even if his face was flushed due to strenuous exercise, he still did not lose his demeanor. He took out a small envelope from his chest pocket and stuffed it into Gu Yuebai's hand: "This is my redemption ticket for next month's national concert, I hope you can come." He looked at Gu Yuebai, with anticipation and irrepressible joy in his eyes. After all, for a singer, the first concert can be regarded as a major event in his career.

Gu Yuebai suddenly remembered Han Yu.
