Chapter XI
Shen Qingmeng was like a small animal on the side of the road, and Ji Xinghe's heart softened. Isn't it good to be like this now, and it's still too greedy to ask for so much to do.
He also squatted beside Shen Qingmeng and put his hand on her shoulder: "I won't say it, I won't say it." ”
Shen Qingmeng raised his head: "Are you celebrating your birthday next week?" ”
She didn't tie her hair after swimming, and it was all draped over her shoulders. Now he half-looked up at him, the broken hair on both sides fell on the side of his cheek. The black hair lined the skin with pale skin, like a fine piece of jade. Even if there is only a dim street lamp, it seems to glow.
Ji Xinghe stretched out his hand and brushed her broken hair behind her ear: "Next Saturday." ”
Feeling the sultry ambiguity of his action, Shen Qingmeng's face was about to burn: "Then do you have any arrangements for next Saturday?" ”
"Nope."
"Then I have a gift for you."
Ji Xinghe slowly raised the corners of his mouth, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his smiling face shone in the dim environment: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”
For a week, Shen Qingmeng stopped playing games with Ji Xinghe after reading the book in the Internet café, and went to the piano room to practice hard. On Saturday morning, Qi Min and the three of them also arrived.
More than two months ago, Jiang Nan was standing at the pick-up gate waiting for her to come out, but now she is at the pick-up gate. Shen Qingmeng looked at the time, estimated that it was almost over, and concentrated on the exit.
didn't wait too long, and a familiar "Shen Ye" marked Qi Min's appearance in the field of vision.
She was dressed in black, wearing a peaked cap crookedly, and her legs were straight and long with tight jeans. After a call, he rushed towards Shen Qingmeng.
She was tall and long-legged, ran to Shen Qingmeng in three or two steps, hugged her, and gave her a loud kiss on the face: "Shen Ye, you want to kill me." ”
Shen Qingmeng's height is not short among girls, and Qi Min is slightly taller than her. In the past, Qi Min called "Shen Ye" and did not have any sense of disobedience, but since he came to Nancheng, Shen Qingmeng has always been a pure student.
A cool and handsome girl, calling another soft and cute girl "master", how weird it looks, there are already several pedestrians next to her, and she can't stop looking back at them.
Leng Shanshan, who followed closely, brought this weird look to the peak. Leng Shanshan is young and short, and she lags behind Qi Min a lot. After Qi Min kissed Shen Qingmeng, she was late.
"Brother Shen! Sansa misses you so much! ”
Shen Qingmeng held Qi Min's waist with one hand, and caught Leng Shanshan who rushed over with the other, which can be described as hugging left and right. In the past, Shen Qingmeng would definitely have to deal with the two of them, but now, Shen Qingmeng just touched Shanshan's head: "My little Shanshan has grown taller again." ”
Leng Shanshan is the age of cardamom, and she still has a little baby fat on her face, and now she pouts, and her round eyes are full of ignorant accusations like cubs, which are right in Shen Qingmeng's blood tank.
"Brother Shen doesn't want Shanshan, doesn't he?"
A critical hit.
Shen Qingmeng pinched her face: "I miss Shanshan too." ”
Leng Shanshan turned her anger into joy at this time, hugged her arm, and chattered about the past two months.
The three of them waited for a while, and Zhou Mao walked out with a cart of luggage.
Shen Qingmeng helped Zhou Mao carry his luggage to the taxi, and asked, "What did you bring here, so much luggage?" ”
Zhou Mao pointed to several of the boxes, "This is Minmin's qin, this is mine, this is Shanshan's drum." ”
"What do you do with drums, I'm not rock 'n' roll."
"Brother Shen, this is an African drum." Leng Shanshan sat in the car and stuck out her head, "Sister Min and Brother Shi have written a new song to sing to you." ”
"You little girl, when you see your brother Shen, you rebelled, and you said you want to keep it secret?"
The two got into a mess in the car.
"What about these ones?"
"This is given to you by Aunt Qin and Brother Nan, this is given to you by my mother, and this is given to you by the tigers."
Shen Qingmeng was a little messy, "So the whole world knows that you want to come to see me?" ”
"It's not as exaggerated as the whole world, Min Min still has to keep a low profile, after all, she is already a little famous among young people."
Shen Qingmeng stuffed all the boxes into the trunk, pressed Qi Min's head to poke out, stuffed her into the car, and told the driver to drive quickly.
The amount of information behind these luggage is too large, Shen Qingmeng got in the car, and he was still digesting it.
"So my mother not only knows you're coming, but she knows what you're here for?"
Zhou Mao nodded: "There are too many things, Aunt Qin asked Brother Nan to send us to the airport and help us arrange the consignment." ”
"What about Aunt Liu's box of things?"
"Ahem," Zhou Mao hurriedly coughed twice and motioned to Shen Qingmeng, "My mother said that she was not at home and didn't see you during the New Year, this is a New Year's gift for you." ”
Although Shen Qingmeng is cool and crazy outside to go to the sky, he is still well-behaved and caring in front of the elders. In Lao Shen's words, no matter what kind of little madman he is in private, he can't embarrass his little Tiantian in terms of face.
Whether it is Ms. Qin's world friend or Lao Shen's colleague, Shen Qingmeng is a likable child of someone else's family in their eyes. Zhou Mao's mother didn't like Shen Qingmeng for a day or two, and when she was a child, she joked that she wanted Shen Qingmeng to be Zhou Mao's little daughter-in-law and treat her like a daughter.
What the elders didn't know was that Zhou Mao and Shen Qingmeng didn't deal with each other at all. Bullying people and pretending to be a poor Dandan's sister was Zhou Mao's nightmare when he was a child.
Besides, Zhou Mao likes Qi Min's affairs, so Qi Min's heart is so big that he doesn't know, and even Leng Shanshan sees it in his eyes.
Shen Qingmeng grew up, so naturally he would not dig a pit for Zhou Mao anymore, so he changed the topic: "What the hell is that box of tigers?" ”
Tiger and Shen Qingmeng didn't know each other in the bar back then, since Shen Qingmeng gave him a few ideas, successfully got rid of the opponent's nest and took over the opponent's territory, the tiger regarded Shen Qingmeng as a military advisor.
After several years of cooperation, the industry has spread to clubs, KTV, bars and various entertainment industries, and people on the road are called "Brother Tiger".
"We weren't singing in Tiger's bar before, so we had to say hello to him when we were leaving. Knowing that we were here to see you, I packed this box and came out. ”
Still in the taxi, Shen Qingmeng took turns to receive calls from Ms. Qin and Ms. Liu. After dealing with the two parents, the car also arrived at the community where Shen Qingmeng lived. Several people worked together to carry three suitcases of luggage into the house, then had a casual lunch, took a taxi and went straight to the evening venue for rehearsal.
Shen Qingmeng rented a small concert hall in the theater, with only a few dozen seats. Although the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs, there are many lights, sound and stages, and most of the time they are also rented out for rehearsals.
"Picking Stars" finally became a song, first a cappella, followed by Shen Qingmeng's piano solo, and then the piano stopped, the band played together, in addition to Qi Min's guitar, Shen Qingmeng also had to play the role of the keyboard, plus Leng Shanshan's harmonica, making the song alive.
has practiced many times, and when Shen Qingmeng sat in front of the piano, he was still so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Qi Min looked disgusted: "Master Shen, what about the ruthlessness you fought with back then, just confessing, what are you afraid of." I've prepared a videography, and this kind of scene must be recorded, so don't hold me back. ”
Several of them are old partners, although Shen Qingmeng no longer participates in band activities, and Qi Min is also semi-debut, but the tacit understanding is still there, and after practicing a few times, it is gradually getting better.
Shen Qingmeng and Ji Xinghe made an appointment at seven o'clock, and specially printed an admission ticket for him. The theater also hired staff to be responsible for the lighting and sound, and posters and road signs were arranged outside.
The launch ceremony of the single "Picking Stars".
When Ji Xinghe arrived at the door of the theater, there were still twenty minutes left at seven o'clock. He waited at the door for a while, but there was no trace of Shen Qingmeng. Messaged her and asked her where she was, and Shen Qingmeng replied that she had already gone in.
But when Ji Xinghe handed the admission ticket to the staff at the door, the staff said that he could only check in five minutes in advance for this scene.
A young couple next to him who came to watch the drama was very strange: "Didn't the ticket check stop five minutes before the opening?" ”
The staff said that this is the case for other performances, and only Ji Xinghe's game can be checked in five minutes before the opening.
The boy in the couple asked Ji Xinghe: "Dude, what kind of drama are you watching, so special?" ”
Ji Xinghe showed him the admission ticket.
"The launch ceremony of the single "Picking Stars"? Which band, why is there no publicity at all? ”
Ji Xinghe shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know. Compared with which band's performance this was, he wanted to know how Shen Qingmeng got in.
This couple is really curious, and after the two checked the tickets, they didn't go to their own theater, but stood at the door and waited for Ji Xinghe.
The girl explained to him: "We are just curious, and we will go in with you later to see which band it is, and it won't bother you." ”
After waiting for another ten minutes, it was finally time to check in. Under the guidance of the staff, Ji Xinghe found the small concert hall. The couple followed him and walked to the door together.
"It's over, I'm too curious, such a small hall, there is no one there, it's dark. Dude, didn't you really buy a fake ticket? ”
The girl elbowed the boy and said, "The tickets are all checked at the door, it's definitely not fake." But why is there no one, what kind of band is so miserable, just sell a ticket? ”
Ji Xinghe sent a message to Shen Qingmeng again at the door and asked her where she was. The reply was, come right away, let him go in first.
The hall was dark, with only the faint green light of the exit sign. Ji Xinghe sat down in the dark.
When he received this ticket for the premiere ceremony, he thought that Shen Qingmeng's birthday gift was to ask him to watch the first release of the single. But today, until now, Shen Qingmeng has been missing. The connection can still be connected, but it has never appeared, the mystery is mysterious, and the empty concert hall has a vague guess.
Perhaps, this is a more grand and meaningful birthday gift than watching the launch ceremony together.
