Chapter XXII. July

After smoking a whole cigarette, Xiao Han slowly swayed back to the residential building, pressed the elevator a few times and didn't respond, only to know that the man in the car was talking about the area he lived in, and exhaled a long breath, dragging his lead legs up step by step.

Usually walking up the stairs for a few minutes, it seems like a marathon track with no end in sight.

Standing at the door of the house, panting and feeling out the key to open the door, the door was black and pressing, and when I went inside, I saw the evening sun spilling into the living room, all the doors were open, and people had been gone for a long time.

Xiao Han kicked the chair impatiently, and suddenly a person came in behind him, and his heart trembled with fright, who else was there besides Su Xia?

"Xiao Han, what are you doing standing here? I just went out to look for you, and I left in the morning without making it clear, and I came back so late? What exactly are you doing? Su Xia put down the roasted corn in her hand, and in her other hand she held the mobile phone that was charging with a power bank.

[What, we can't stay at home like this all the time, go out for a walk, what are you going out for? ] Looking for someone to borrow a power bank? 】

Xiao Han handed the phone to Su Xia, he really lied and didn't make a draft, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating.

"Well, I went to the property, by the way I asked when it would be repaired, and by the way, I bought dinner and roasted corn."

[Don't go out in the future, sometimes people with ears can have safety accidents, your special situation, I'm afraid of danger, fortunately you're back, otherwise when will I look for you? 】

Xiao Han paused, and then continued to type.

[Just wait for me at home, and if you don't go out, you will leave home to do homework, practice calligraphy, do laundry, and clean. 】

Su Xia pinched the phone and stood at the door all the time, without speaking, looking at the person in front of him holding the phone with one hand.

"Well, I don't need you to worry, will there be anything else in a while? We..."

After Su Xia finished speaking, he lowered his head and broke the corn kernels into the bowl little by little, where are we going to walk, okay?

[I have something to do in a while, and when the water comes, I will take a bath, and I may come back later, so I don't have to wait for me. 】

Xiao Han thought that it was not a long-term solution to spend all the time on the construction site, he just glanced at the recruitment of the food stalls, and just sent the waiters to the night class, and the salary was also good, after all, the workload was proportional to the salary.

Su Xia was glad that he didn't finish speaking, it was better than refusal, so he answered and continued to break the corn kernels, picking up toothpicks and sending them to his mouth one by one.

Xiao Han finished eating corn in three or two times, wiped his mouth, changed into his own clothes, cut his hair, waved his hand and left.

Su Xia didn't stop him, he ate less than twenty corn kernels, and they were all cold.

The food stall will be at its peak, Xiao Han chatted with the boss for a few words, and the speed of finding a job should be used to study, maybe it will be the first in the class.

There are already a few tables occupied by the seats at the door, there are three waiters in the night market, and there are only four if Xiao Han is counted, this food stall is the most NB on the whole street, and there is an endless stream of customers, and the boss is estimated to make money to earn hand cramps.

"Waiter, menu, take five bottles of cold beer first, I want Qingdao." The man had a cigarette in his mouth, his ankle was on the knee of the other leg, he kept shaking, he kept shaking, Xiao Han couldn't get used to seeing others shaking his legs, so he held the menu in front of the man with a suppressed anger.

"Hey, what do you recommend here?" The man pressed his mobile phone, and after asking Xiao Han, he began to send a voice message - where have you been? Pay the bill for being late, Brother Yang, bring your new girlfriend over to have a look.

"Crayfish." Xiao replied coldly, pointing his finger at the picture of crayfish on the menu.

"Four, large, five cold beers, that's all, they'll order it later."

"Okay, I'll place an order for you." Xiao Han took back the menu and gave it to the table next to the man.

"Hey, waiter, bring a rag, the kid spilled the drink." The woman grabbed the little girl's collar with one hand, and shouted loudly, shouting the waiter in her mouth, which was said to Xiao Han.

"It's a lot, fuck, how can you meet this kind of person anywhere." Xiao Han said in his mouth, he had already picked up a rag and wiped the table three or two times, the technique was as if he had practiced, and the boss was stunned when he looked in the dark, "Na, I poured you a new glass, don't cry." ”

The girl took the drink from Xiao Han's hand, probably because she didn't go to kindergarten, holding the glass in her hand trembling, Xiao Han didn't have the patience to wait for the child to put the glass on the table, smiled and left, and went to the kitchen to serve food.

"Hey, the lobster on the table just now, be careful, it's hot." The chef beckoned Xiao Han to deliver the food, and the freshly grilled crayfish looked oily, and the taste was so fragrant that Xiao Han's stomach screamed twice, but fortunately, no one heard it, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

"Okay, they seem to have ordered a big stack of skewers at that table, I'll bring it together, this is it." Xiao Han still has the ability to do things, under the questioning eyes of the chef, Xiao Han held an iron plate with crayfish with his arm, and a plate with grilled skewers in his hand, his right hand was really unable to move, and he relied on his left hand to do coolies.

"Kid, be careful, it's hot, it's a kid now." The chef helped Xiao Han stabilize the plate and pulled the hem of his crumpled clothes.

"Hmm." Xiao Han shuttled around each table with a plate in this way, the tables were placed very close, leaving only space for one person to pass by, Xiao Han held the forearm of his left hand with his right hand to maintain balance.

It wasn't until he put the plate on the table that Xiao Han shook his sour hand, glanced at his clothes, and dipped some barbecue sauce, fortunately, it was summer, and he basically wore short sleeves, at most it was greasy on his skin, he pulled a paper towel and rubbed it into a ball, wiped it, and threw it in the garbage heap, which was already full of unwanted disposable tableware or something.

"Hey, come on, this wine bottle hasn't been pried open, how can you drink it? Smash it open with your head? Do you have any eyesight? A bald man with the smell of alcohol hooked his hand at Xiao Han and motioned for him to come over, Xiao Han stopped, took a screwdriver from the counter, and walked to the man without saying a word.

The screwdriver is very small, Xiao Han hides it in the palm of his hand, this TM wants to pretend to be b? Every time the man reacts, Xiao Han has already pried the bottle cap open, in the eyes of others, it looks like prying the bottle cap with his bare hands, this wave of operation is still very coaxing, people who understand it naturally understand, and those who can't see the routine are still dumbfounded, thinking that Xiao Han often works in food stalls.

"It's on." Xiao Han put the driver in his pocket, it was cold through the fabric for a while, and the boss patted Xiao Han on the shoulder, he should have wanted to say that he had a better attitude, and the seventeen-year-old boy obeyed himself and did not care about the consequences.

Slowly in the dead of night, the food stalls are still overcrowded, there are more and more people waiting for a seat, there are old-fashioned lanterns hanging at the door, and there is a long list of people sitting underneath, Xiao Han estimated that he counted in his heart, this should not work until the early hours of the morning, because the right hand is inconvenient, I feel that the left hand has borne something that should not be borne at this age, and I touched it aggrievedly, and I was secretly sad for a while before being pulled back to reality by a rude shout.

"Someone, help light this stove." Another spiritual young man, it looks decent, but it looks a little inside, Xiao Han glanced at his arm, the scar was a little painful by the temperature at the bottom of the plate, and he bit his back molars, isn't it just four or five hours?

"Here, where's the lighter? Holy shit, it's hot..... What does it mean to not be able to click... Xiao Han took the lighter, lit it a few times and didn't turn it on, and was about to turn around to get a new lighter, when the stove TM spontaneously combusted, and he was stunned for a moment and thought it was a trick.

Su Xia was holding the mobile phone in his hand, uncomfortable lying on his side, uncomfortable on his back, uncomfortable to sleep over and over, the noise downstairs was connected, his world was very quiet, so quiet that he always wanted to listen to people's noise.

Xiao Han: What the hell is he doing?

Who is Uncle Lee?

What about the construction site?

Can't you say?

Or is it the only thing you can't say to yourself?

The mobile phone screen flashed, and the voice sent by Li Xiao, fortunately, WeChat has a voice translation text function.

Banhua, have you written Chinese writing? Borrow from me, I held back 300 words for a long time, and TM is all nonsense, bullshit.

Su Xia was too lazy to get out of bed, obviously she hadn't done anything for a day, she just didn't want to get up when she lay on the bed, and lazily replied with a voice.

It's written, and the teacher can see the style of writing, so if you don't want to be invited to tea, write it yourself.

Li Xiao's WeChat sent again, this time with text.

Don't talk about this, hey, Banhua, have you and Brother Han met recently?

???

Don't throw a question mark, ask the right thing.

?? Chen Xuan asked you to ask?

No, I don't care about it, and I don't feel moved by the fact that I give full play to my classmates?

Go and go, write your essay, it's really not okay to copy and paste a copy, and change it yourself.

It's too much, can the things on the Internet work? Yes?

The topic is quite simple, ponder it yourself, and you will see the sun in a while.

I thought I had caught a life-saving straw, but I saw that TM grabbed a handful of gunpowder.

Get lost.

Su Xia was completely enraged by Li Xiao, jumped out of bed and opened the drawer, turned out the written composition, and took it seriously to Li Xiao one by one, a full twelve pieces of composition paper, the front and back were full, all the words were similar in size, the horizontal and vertical skimming points were the same as the printed font, especially the spacing between the words of obsessive-compulsive disorder was about the same, and I thought it was really printed at first glance.

You can shoot the kind of writing notebook...

Li Xiao replied in seconds.

Fuck me, Banhua NB, it's a lifesaver now.

Well, it's not allowed to copy the exact same.

I will learn from it, and look forward to the next "cooperation" between you and Brother Han.

Su Xia was annoyed when she saw Chen Xuan or Li Xiaoti Xiao Han, how could these two people not go away, they couldn't get away, turned off their mobile phones, and tried if the air conditioner could be turned on.

"Waiter, help me pack it." The bald man kicked the stray dog and grabbed the phone and keys on the table.

Xiao Han began to fight with his upper eyelids and lower eyelids at this time, the construction site was busy for a day, and he really couldn't bear it, so he simply leaned on the place where people couldn't see and squinted his eyes and waited for the sleepiness to reduce, and when he looked up and saw the lights on the residential building, he breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly cheered up a little, rubbed his eyes and helped serve the food.

"A roast duck, three crayfish, 20 skewers of barbecue, 10 squid whiskers, 5 skewers of dumplings, and a pinch of beer, can you eat here?" Inexplicably, Xiao Han saw that the female guests were polite, is this sexist?

"Well, hurry up, husband, they're in a hurry to eat."

"Okay, I'll let the kitchen do as much as I can." Xiao Han sandwiched the female guest's sheet on the top, handed it to the cook, and entered the kitchen for a few seconds, his forehead began to sweat again.

Slowly the people walked away, the noise weakened, the night sank darker, and on the way back to the building, the hunchback splashed half a cup of overnight tea at Xiao Han's feet.

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night? Waiting to be angry with me? Xiao Han was so tired that he couldn't do it, so he waved his hand and walked to the building, "Rest early, recuperate." ”

When I went home and saw that the light in the study was still on, it was past one o'clock in the morning, Su Xia was still sitting at the table with the book in her hand, and gently knocked on the table, there was no sound, Su Xia stretched out her hand and grabbed it tightly, looking up at Xiao Han, her eyes were very bright.

"Coming back?"

Xiao Han nodded, sat on the edge of the table, washed his hands with soap three times when he left, and deliberately blew the fan for a while to disperse the smell, and hid it very well.

[Go to sleep, I'm sleepy too, I'm too lazy to move again.] 】

Xiao Han took a cold shower, pretending to lie on the ground and sleep, Su Xia lay motionless on the bed, closed his eyes and eyelashes trembled slightly, Xiao Han leaned over to take a look after a while, until he listened to his breathing gradually, and the two of them didn't say a few words when they came back, Su Xia turned over and faced Xiao Han's face, thinking that he was awake, he reached out and shook it in front of his eyes, and he was relieved to see that he didn't react.

It was almost the dead of night, Xiao Han looked at the time, the pointer stopped at two o'clock, dragged his tired body to sit up, took a piece of ice from the refrigerator and put it on his forehead to wake up, the action was very light, he did not wake up the sleeping teenager, changed his clothes, white mid-sleeved uniform shirt with blue five-point pants, the hem was only half pierced in as usual, loose on the body, slender and slender calves, empty trouser tubes, wearing a pair of canvas shoes, making a hairstyle against sleepiness, spraying hairspray.

Everything is well hidden, Xiao Han stood at the door of the room for a long time and was reluctant to leave, Su Xia didn't know what he dreamed of, he frowned very hideously, as if he was struggling to do something, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, Xiao Han subconsciously took a step back, hit the chair, and fled the scene frantically after holding on to his eyes, the voice-activated light at the door can still be used, and he is happy.

"Hello, I know, come over right away, I said yes before." Xiao Han dialed the phone, the other party's tone sounded very serious, wandering on the street without sleeping in the middle of the night, Xiao Han didn't have the time to wander around, fortunately, there was a wind blowing on the long street, otherwise he would have to lie down halfway through, the stray dog kennel was barking in the cardboard box, Xiao Han was really forced to be helpless, otherwise he would have taken it home a long time ago.

The bar street, the Jianghan Road is quite lively at night, some people who don't go home at night will stay in the bar or music bar for the night, Xiao Han stopped at the door of a music bar that looks very simple in decoration, the sleepiness is gone, and the large metal music inside is shocked, the kind of triumphal arch looks quite tall, tentatively push the door in, and the manager has been waiting for Xiao Han at the door for a long time.

I submitted my resume when I was on public sabbatical at the construction site, and after a brief introduction to the situation, I received a message from the manager within five minutes, and notified me to officially go to work after a video interview.

"You're Xiao Han, go quickly, the center of the stage, three o'clock to five o'clock is your time, piano, electric guitar, drum bass, etc., I've seen the video you sent, the effect is quite good, the salary is over." The manager was full of smiles, as if he hadn't seen this kind of genius for a long time, of course, this music bar is usually very popular, and no one cares, it is indeed Xiao Han's musicality that amazes the manager, and the attitude on the phone is completely different.

"Right now, it would be nice to have a piano, but I won't be able to use other instruments." Xiao Han unbuttoned the collars of his two shirts, revealing the silver chain on his collarbone, reflecting in the neon light.

The originally noisy occasion was quiet, Xiao Han sat on the piano bench, pulled the microphone to his mouth, pressed the keyboard and tried the timbre, so perfect that he had nothing to say, the white grand piano with the black microphone, Xiao Han put his feet on the pedal, cleared his throat, spread out the score, the first page is the original score of the city in the sky, his pupils trembled, a match made in heaven.

The sound of the piano is slow, the rhythm is very light, singing the lyrics of the Japanese version, the fingertips run over each key, Xiao Han plays the piano, the whole person is like losing his soul, or the soul and the sound of the piano are integrated, and the perfect image emanating from the inside out, the girls in the audience have begun to scream.

A beam of light hit the center of the stage, reflected on Xiao Han, the singing voice was melodious, and the appearance was superior, this TM was a large-scale support station, Xiao Han was immersed in the timbre, as if he was out of touch with everything around him, and completely forgot that he was doing a part-time job as a resident singer.

"Little brother, click on a song "あの日タイムマシン", and add a WeChat."

"Play "たからもの" first, do you have time later?"

..........

The voices below come and go, if you can, Xiao Han really wants to put up a sign, saying refuse to accept WeChat, don't disturb if you are not sincere, what is the situation with this TM?

People from the audience who came to drink also came to the side of the stage, and the flashes at the bottom were connected, in addition to the flash, there were also large WeChat QR codes.

Xiao Han took advantage of the lack of lyrics to sweep the situation in the audience, and soon returned to the score, although it was already ripe, but reading the score was used to Xiao Han.

At the end of the song, the people in the audience were quiet for a long time, and they didn't make too exaggerated movements, so they were worthy of such healing music.

"I still want to... What to listen to? Xiao Han raised the corners of his mouth, and the microphone was very close.

"Ah Chinese h

"Do you know Korean? Isn't there a Korean drama that is very good? ”

"Is English OK too? I love the songs of that group, rock and roll. ”

Xiao Han, who listened to the first few sentences, wanted to agree, English... Forget about English.

Breathed a sigh of relief, the song I sang to Su Xia on KTV last time, I sang it again, the audience this time is not the best, but it is also meaningful, his fingers jumped on the keys, raised and fell, and he lowered his eyes slightly and stared at the keys.

Maybe it's because I'm sleepy, my voice becomes a little unstable while singing, and my vision is blurry, I'm really afraid that I will fall asleep with my head down, and I really experience what it means to be exhausted, and I'm usually just joking.

The enthusiasm of the audience did not dissipate, Xiao Han took advantage of the gap between the pages to rub his eyes, glanced at the people in the audience, walked a few tables, and made up a few tables, and the people who were not interested in singing at the bar were chatting and drinking in groups.

Suddenly, the sound of a guitar plucked out at random frightened Xiao Han, and the original resident singer stared at Xiao Han with squinted eyes, hooking his fingers to mean battle, which was obviously a competition between industries.

The electronic sound fell in his ears, Xiao Han ignored him, and just took advantage of this time to rest for a while.

"Not convinced?" The original resident singer put down the guitar, this is not his time at all, if it weren't for the manager to stop him, it is estimated that he would have to do it.

"Hey,These two are not the same painting style at all.,If it's really a battle, I'd like to see it.。

"I'm gone, the new little brother is too good, super to my appetite."

"Drink and drink, people can take a fancy to you, maybe there will be a famous flower for a long time, but don't fight with that flower."

Flower? Class... Does Banhua count?

Xiao Han pressed down on a note, and then the song originally sung was played and sung with piano accompaniment, I don't know if everyone likes the new and hates the old, obviously they were still fascinated by electric guitar fans before.

Two hours is not difficult for Xiao Han, after the end of the proper meeting scene, the girls gathered together, dozens of people blocked the stage and couldn't get through, Xiao Han was bitter, I really hope that this energy will be digested after sleeping for a night.

"Will the little brother come back tomorrow? I'm waiting for you. ”

"Strongly requested to come every day! Are there like-minded people? ”

"There are so many sisters behind you!"

The distance between people and people is pierced in one sentence, and the people who were traveling together just now are now disassembled and reunited into a new combination, slowly expanding the social circle.

I'm afraid it's not a personal security guard, what kind of big man is he, is he very famous? How come I haven't seen it on TV? Celebrity visiting? The manager was full of questions and personally solved the congestion problem.

The "big guy" is just an ordinary dropout sophomore, Xiao Han turned around, and the Alipay collection code shook in front of the manager's eyes.

"Ahh I'll go check out. ”

"Okay."

That's it... Just one word? It turns out that the big guys also cherish money.

"Thank you today, you can be regarded as attracting countless fans." The manager helped Xiao Han call a taxi at the door, and watched him get into the car before turning around and going back to the store.

At five o'clock in the street, there are already old people in the activity, the community fitness equipment center, the vegetable market has begun to set up stalls to sell vegetables, Xiao Han sat in the taxi, half-squinted and looked out the window, the clouds spread in a radius of several miles, a dawn pierced the sky, and the sky was already bright.

"Just go back? Your little boyfriend came to knock on the door at four or five o'clock, for fear that I would kidnap you, tsk, I didn't change my clothes, I shook around here to find you, I don't know where to go, go and find, let's go, don't leave me here to be an eyesore, and it took a long time to barely let him know what I was going to say, this deaf and still like this, sooner or later I will have to kill him. Hunchback opened the door of the convenience store, Xiao Han's thigh was hit hard, it hurt and hurt, his heart tightened, what is the situation, this is again, why did he run out alone.

"Fuck, don't talk if you can't speak, what's the matter with you being deaf, you're still hunchbacked, goodbye to you, why don't you talk so badly, this store will be closed down by you sooner or later." Xiao Han's footsteps became heavier and heavier, he glanced at his hunchback, and trotted to find Su Xia, which was really more tiring than raising a son.

Su Xia sat on the steps on the first floor of the residential building, her pajamas hung loosely on her body, sleepy-eyed, her hair was messy and scattered by the wind, her two hands were tightly clenched together, holding a mobile phone full of blood and resurrection, Su Xia didn't hear the movement last night, and when she woke up, she didn't see the teenager next to the bed, and no one paid attention to it after shouting.
