Even though it's late autumn, it's not very cold. The streets are lined with private cars, and various restaurants and supper shops are full of people. At the door of the bar next to it, there were several young men who were soliciting customers.

Xu Xunsheng carried a guitar on his back, wore a thick sweater and skirt, and walked slowly along the street after getting off the bus. Her outfit is not uncommon on this street, as is the case with the bar's resident singers. But as she passed by a few other bars, there were still men who kept whistling at her, or softly shouting, "Hey, beauty, where are you going?" and "Where are you singing?"

Xu Xunsheng's eyes were clear, he ignored it, and just walked forward.

Located on the basement level of an old office building, Bear & Light Livehuse is both a bar and a performance venue. Opened a year and a half ago, it has now become a well-known underground music fan gathering place in Xiangcheng chasing the black coffee Livehuse. So when Xu Xunsheng went down the stairs, he saw that there were a lot of people gathered outside the livehuse. There is a small window next to the aisle, surrounded by an iron railing, and the little sister who sells tickets sees Xu Xunsheng and smiles brightly: "Sister, are you here?"

Xu Xunsheng nodded.

I don't know if it's her delusion, but I always feel that the little girl who sells tickets looks at her with a particularly bright look at her today, and many of those waiting music fans are looking at her and whispering. Xu Xunsheng thought that they might be curious about the performing singer, so he ignored it, picked up the curtain at the entrance of the livehuse, and walked in.

Bears and Hikari livehuse are very different from others. Although it is an old basement renovation, it retains a lot of pipes and rough walls, and has a heavy metal industrial feel. But the boss has cleaned up the whole space relatively clean and transparent, countless ventilation windows are turning, the cushions on the sofa, the green plants embedded in half the wall, and the strangely shaped paintings on the high walls are all embellishments of literary style. So Xu Xunsheng can accept it in such an environment.

She walked straight to the backstage, she arrived early, and the other singers hadn't arrived tonight, but the boss Big Bear was sitting there, playing with the guitar, followed by a little brother.

Seeing Xu Xunsheng walk in, put down the guitar on his back, the two secretly glanced at each other, and saw her posture as usual, took out a small thermos cup from her shoulder bag, and slowly drank homemade health tea. Apparently I didn't know anything about it.

Big Bear patted his younger brother on the shoulder and told him to go first. Behind the curtain was just him and her. Big Bear put his guitar aside and asked, "I haven't been on the Internet for the past two days?"

Xu Xunsheng rarely talks nonsense, and when he looks at him, it can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Da Xiong's smile was a little indescribable, and said, "Ah Sheng, two days ago, there were bar guests who posted a video of you playing and singing on the Internet. Seeing that her eyebrows were still calm, she didn't care. Big Bear continued: "The result is ...... You know, the song is too good and the people are too beautiful, and it is on the popular push of the website. It is said that the video is still very popular now. Don't be angry if you see a lot of chaotic people coming to watch after a while. When they don't exist well. ”

Xu Xunsheng's hand drinking water was just a moment, and he looked at him: "Is it a lot?"

Da Xiong said: "Usually tickets can only sell one or two hundred, but tonight they sold four hundred, and I called them to stop." Otherwise, there will be more. ”

Then I saw that Xu Xunsheng didn't have much emotional ups and downs, and shook the cup in his hand, the fingers were thin and white, and they looked good enough to attract the attention of any man. She drank the water, and her voice was still lazy: "Four hundred is also a lot, I can't stand still, I'm not afraid that the scene will be completely messed up?"

Big Bear smiled faintly and said, "I can't be the master of my territory?"

Xu Xunsheng smiled slightly, and stopped asking. The backstage light was dim, and she stood by the wall, looking more and more slender and quiet. The long black hair fell down the shoulders, and the chin, neck, and ten fingers exposed outside the sweater were as bright as jade.

Big Bear stared at her quietly for a few seconds, and said, "If you hate so many people watching, do you want to ...... Wear a hat to play?" He pulled a cap out of a drawer and handed it to her.

Xu Xunsheng didn't turn his head: "No." ”

Big Bear was stunned. suddenly remembered that when he was in the competition, Xu Xunsheng always had a peaked hat and long hair in his impression, which was both pretty and beautiful. It was a half-worn boy's hat.

Later, when they reunited, they did never see her wearing a cap again.

Since the Haig Paradox was eliminated from the national finals that year, the band, which has been working hard for ten years, has not lasted long. I probably regarded that competition as the band's swan song. A few months later, the band disbanded. Big Bear used his savings over the years to open this livehuse. He has a wide network in Xiangcheng and has the status of the absolute first brother lead singer, and invited many friends to come over to sing and cheer, and the bar quickly became an instant hit.

He also contacted and invited Xu Xunsheng, originally with a try-out mentality, thinking that with her character, she would not get a response. Unexpectedly, Xu Xunsheng actually came, and he has been singing for more than a year, and has become the resident strength singer of "Bear and Light". This delicate and elegant woman has even accumulated considerable popularity and fans in the underground music circle of Xiangcheng. It's just that she never showed her face when she participated in the national competition, and now she doesn't use the stage name of "Xiaosheng", she uses another name, and after all, it is two circles, and so much time has passed, so there are not many people who know that she is the keyboardist of the Sunrise and Dusk Band, which was as popular as a flash in the pan back then.

Soon it was time to open, a new band came on stage to sing, Xu Xunsheng sat backstage, and was surprised to hear the extraordinarily enthusiastic cheers. It seems that there are indeed a lot of people who come today.

It didn't take long for her to play. She held the guitar, the bear played the keyboard for her, and the drummer, and all that was it, simple and sufficient.

Da Xiong opened the curtain for Xu Xunsheng, and when he walked out, he saw the crowds of people in the audience, Xu Xunsheng was still stunned. Seeing her appear, the crowd was obviously in a commotion, and many people were whispering, and their expressions could not be seen clearly in the dim light. But there are also many fans calling her current nickname: "Goldfish!" and "Goldfish!", especially those die-hard fans in the front row.

Xu Xunsheng didn't have a too moved expression, just smiled lightly, sat down in front of the microphone, and said softly, "Thank you." Her voice was naturally soft and pure, as if there was some kind of calming magic, and the scene quickly calmed down. She plucked the strings lightly and said, "The first song, 'Scaleless Fish', is for you." ”

There was a light on the stage, hitting her little world. The keyboard sounded, the drum beat gently, and the rhythm was very slow, but it seemed to hit people's hearts. Xu Xunsheng's guitar is played very clearly and melodiously, under the hazy light, you can see her face as delicate as the clouds in the distant mountains, a strand of hair hanging above the guitar, her green ten fingers plucked on the strings, as if a little elf was beating and singing.

"You say you're a fish on a lonely island

Fish stripped of the slices

You said you wanted to go to the island opposite

Look where the scenery is so beautiful..

Whether there is a different light and shadow

Whether there is another fish without scales

The twists and turns of the sea are hard to come all the way

How many undercurrents swept through the body

You're finally on that island

There are still no scaleless fish on the island

I want to tell you

The islands are endless

I would like to remove the scales for you

You go, you go

Although the sea is full of twists and turns

Still chasing you all the way

I don't take you to see the novelties of the world

Stop and look around

Take a look at the ...... of the islands."

If only half of the audience were originally her fans, most of them came to join in the fun. But after the first song was sung, the audience was quiet for a moment, and then burst into cheers and applause. Of course, there are also many people holding their mobile phones to take pictures, and the flash keeps turning on. But the people on the stage still didn't seem to care at all, and after singing the song, they only smiled lightly, and their eyes seemed to be filled with a stream. She tucked her hair behind her ear, still in a soft, soft voice: "Thank you." The second song is ......"

……

After she sang the three songs of the night, she stepped down with the cheers of the audience shouting "goldfish" and "goldfish" in unison. She was greeted by Big Bear and the others, smiling and concerned. And she just smiled helplessly, and her face finally turned a little crimson. Pick up your guitar, say goodbye to them, and quietly leave through the back door.
