Chapter 154: I Want to Sing a Song
The takeaway in my hand was still very hot, and I suddenly remembered that I had told Jiang Laiyue that I hadn't eaten, so she ordered takeout for me...... Her meticulousness and delicacy far exceeded my imagination, and since I met her, I went from extreme disgust to sympathy and then admiration for her first impression, and this experience mixed with too many emotions made me understand her hardships, her stubbornness and refusal to admit defeat in the predicament.
The name "Little Puppet" is like her truest portrayal, on the surface she is the glamorous president of the group, but too much of her body can't help but let her longing for an ordinary life, she lives carefully, and survives under Jiang Wen's control every day, like a marionette that everyone pays attention to, seemingly free, but her hands are bound by countless threads.
"I ordered takeout and grabbed a good rest."
"Would you like to eat more?"
Li Shi, who seemed to be very lost and discouraged, stood there motionless for a long time before saying, "Okay, I'll send the notebook to the house." ”
I nodded, and Li Shi hugged the notebook and turned back to her room.
Back at the table, I opened the lotus seed and lily porridge that Jiang Laiyue ordered for me, it was very sweet, a bowl of porridge seemed to be an encounter from afar, thousands of miles away but sweet.
Jiang Laiyue and I have always been like two trains, and it is impossible for me and her to walk on the same track and look at the same scenery.
……
It was late at night, and Li Shi and I were sitting on either side, and she handed the bowl to me and said, "Just give me a little bit." ”
As she asked, I scooped her a little with a spoon, and a little myself, and we both continued to eat with our heads bowed, and this harmony and calm only came when we were eating.
When I was almost halfway through eating, I finally said to Li Shi, who had been concentrating on drinking porridge, "Am I going to the company tomorrow?" ”
Li Shi didn't seem to take it too seriously and said: "Recently, the company's business has been going on in an orderly manner, and it doesn't matter if you go or not." ”
"Oh." I also responded flatly.
Li Shi put down the spoon in her hand, wiped her mouth with a napkin and said: "Just now Amy called me, saying that the day after tomorrow she was going to the United States to participate in a photography exhibition, bringing photos of the "Road Ballads" bar, and planned to get together with everyone at the bar before leaving. ”
"Okay."
"I haven't heard Amy's boyfriend laugh since she died during the shoot, and from tonight's call, I found that she seems to be very attentive to Lin Ke, and I really hope that they can cherish each other and get out of the shadow of life."
When Li Shi mentioned the encounter between Amy and Lin Ke, my mood was instantly low, sometimes people meet and get along, it seems that it is just a short period of fireworks, in the chaos of the world, it is really not easy to find the other half.
……
I thought that the tiredness of the business trip would make me sleep very deeply, but this night I slept very lightly, and woke up in the morning, and after that, I couldn't sleep anyway, so I got up in the early morning before I saw the sunrise.
After washing, I cooked porridge, and then went to a familiar breakfast shop nearby to buy breakfast, Li Shi especially likes to eat his authentic Shaanxi meat sandwich bun, so I said to the boss: "Boss give me one, put more meat for me, put ...... Put...... Put it again, put it again, put it again......"
The boss raised his head and looked at me and said, "Big brother, I'll just give you a pig!" ”
I glanced at the steamed bun that had already caught a lot of meat, and hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Enough, enough!" ”
By the time I returned to the hostel after breakfast, Li Shi had already gotten up.
I said to Li Shi in the courtyard, "Are you done cleaning up?" ”
"Well, I've got to get out." With that, Li Shi got up and walked towards the shoe rack where she changed her shoes.
"You haven't eaten breakfast yet!" I shouted at her.
"Today is the first regular meeting after a business trip, and I can't be late."
Li Shi has always worked seriously, and there is no way, so I can only put the meat buns I bought in her car, and I can eat some after her meeting, so as not to go hungry.
Li Shi had already changed her shoes and hurriedly went out, and I asked behind me, "Are you going to the bar today?" ”
I don't know if she didn't hear my question or didn't plan to respond to me, but she just left.
After eating, I put away the dishes and chopsticks, lit a cigarette, sat blankly on the sofa for a while, took out my mobile phone from my pocket, dialed Lin Ke, and said hello to Shu Ma, and asked him to come over to chat, after all, he caught up with me on a business trip not long after he came over last time, and he didn't entertain him well.
Shu Ma, who hadn't seen him for a long time, joked with me and said, "Brother Hang, I thought you were afraid that I would pester you to consume, so you slipped away!" ”
I smiled, put my arm around his shoulders and said, "You kid has too many eyes!" ”
"Don't say that, they're all friends, and they can't play with their hearts."
Shuma's temper was similar to mine, so I nodded, and without any more hypocrisy, I took out a cigarette and handed it to him, lit one myself, and rode together on my freshly launched bicycle to the bar.
On the way, Shu Ma exerted the spirit of chatter again, chatting with me non-stop, and I didn't know how big his brain was, and suddenly asked me: "What would you do if someone you like super super likes accidentally falls into a dung pit and needs artificial respiration?" ”
"What do you think about all day long?"
"I'm just curious, how did such a handsome man like you deal with it wisely."
I ignored Shu Ma's doubts, took a heavy puff of cigarette, and sighed: "I suddenly feel that love is so fragile, and I can't fight." ”
Shuma: "......"
……
After arriving at the bar, Lin Ke sat in the shade of the courtyard to practice, Amy was holding a camera to take pictures of him, and the newcomer Shuma still immediately put his eyes on the acoustic guitar case at the door, crouching down to look through the illustrations on the CD.
"Brother Hang, do you think the songs in this album are suitable for me?"
I looked at the time marked on the album, it was the darkest day for Lin Ke, but I didn't want to tell Shuma about the deep past behind the album, and I was silent for a long time before I said to him: "Buy one and keep it, listen to it or not!" ”
Shuma nodded, took the album from my hand, and solemnly threw twenty dollars into the wooden box.
I told him again: "You can choose to listen to the song, after all, the song is the life of the original singer, not your life." ”
Entering the courtyard, Amy smiled kindly, apparently as if she had really changed as Li Shi said. Lin Ke and I shook our fists and said hello.
Through the pop-up event, the bar's business has improved, and even if it is only open in the evening, it is quite a lot of work.
During the cleaning with Lin Ke, Jiang Laiyue walked in from the door with a handbag, but Lin Ke also invited her, because there were few people, she found me holding a rag at the first time, and then walked towards me.
Look at her calm and dignified face, as if she wasn't the one who hit me with her fist last night.
I got up and gave her a seat to welcome her, she put her bag on the table, looked around, and sighed, "Now that people are coming and going, it destroys the elegance, and it is difficult to have both!" ”
In order not to let last night's events affect this and make the atmosphere too dull, he smiled and said to Jiang Laiyue: "What do you want to drink, I invite you to prepare it for you personally." ”
"Pink vodka."
"No, it won't."
Jiang Laiyue was surprised by my answer, and then asked, "Then why are you still ashamed?" ”
Jiang Laiyue looked at the performance stage and said, "Then bring me a beer mug, while there is no one, I want to go up and sing a song after drinking." ”
