Chapter 002: Nine Years Ago
"Stinky boy, get out!"
As soon as the words fell, Jing Yi was carried out of the door by the security guard like a little chicken, the guitar fell to the ground with a "bang", he pouted, walked over with his head drooped and picked up the guitar, dusted it, squinted at the other party, snorted coldly, and left here with the guitar on his back.
"I still remember that you said that home is the only castle, as the Daoxiang River continues to run, smiling slightly, I know the dream of a child......" The sudden ringtone of the mobile phone startled him, Jingyi frowned, and impatiently took out the mobile phone from his pocket.
Seeing the word "Mom" displayed on the screen, he suddenly felt that the ringtone of his mobile phone was really ironic, heh, "home" is it? Jingyi shook his head bitterly and hung up the phone.
When he was five years old, Jingyi's father went to the sea to do business, and at first he would come back every year on holidays, but slowly later, he couldn't see each other during the New Year.
From the content of several phone calls between his mother and his father, Jing Yi knew that this "home" had long existed in name only. It's just that he has been struggling to catch his breath, and now, both sides have their own new loves, so they naturally don't want to continue to persevere.
Before coming to Beijing alone, Jingyi's mother packed up her belongings and left, leaving an empty house for him, a city he probably didn't want to go back to in the future......
At two o'clock in the afternoon, like a fire lion, he swept towards Jing Yi, he licked his chapped lips, found a fruit drink shop and walked in. After ordering a cup of kumquat tea, he sat alone on the high stool by the window to relax, and the store was playing his idol's song, and Keiichi's fingers were tapping on the table according to the rhythm.
He is in dire need of recharge now because there is still a game to play in the afternoon. I thought back to the scene where I went to the company in the morning and was rejected, and I was faintly unwilling in my heart.
When he came out this time, Jing Yi hid it from his family, in fact, his grandfather ran an entertainment company, but he didn't want to go through the back door. Young and vigorous, he always wants to prove his strength with practical actions. Besides, he knew very well in his heart that his grandfather would not approve of him taking this path. After all, his mother is his only child, and since he was in high school, his stern grandfather has been cultivating him as the heir to the future company. Keiichi didn't like the planned path, he had his own ideas, even if they were a bit stubborn and naΓ―ve.
With a "snap", the plastic cup containing kumquat water in his hand was pinched flat by him, and the drink inside squirted out of the cup at once, spilling onto the gauze skirt of a young girl sitting next to him.
"Oops, my god, the princess dress I just bought." Wen Yanxi quickly jumped down from the high chair and hurriedly flicked the water stains on it with his hands. At this time, Jing Yi came back to his senses and stood up in a panic, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry." β
Mother Wen on the side frowned tightly, this skirt was bought by her to reward her daughter for getting the ideal results in the elementary school and junior high school exams, although she wanted to try to restrain her anger, but she couldn't help but rush, "Why are you so careless, this skirt is newly bought." β
Hearing this, Jing Yi's face instantly turned red to the root of his ears, "I, I ......" He couldn't help but stumble, his feet were a little unstable, plus he hadn't eaten a mouthful of food since morning, and his low blood sugar made him almost faint. This frightened Mother Wen, thinking that I didn't say anything, so I wouldn't be scared.
Wen Yanxi saw that the scene was a little out of control, so she quickly grabbed her mother's arm, her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and said to Jing Yi sweetly: "It's okay, let's go home and wash up." The little brother definitely didn't mean it, and besides, he had already apologized. β
Since her daughter didn't care anymore, Mother Wen didn't want to say anything, sighed softly and returned to her seat and sat down.
Jing Yi picked up the guitar next to him and carried it on his back, ready to leave here, but Wen Yanxi suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed him, looking at the little kid in front of him who was more than a head shorter than himself, Jing Yi's face changed instantly. I thought to myself, didn't I just say it's okay, what is this for? Is it possible to go back on his word and make him lose money?
As soon as the palm of the hand touched the other party's skin, a burst of electricity quickly rushed to the heart along the fingertips, Wen Yanxi retracted his hand with a "Teng", and her fair little face immediately seemed to be dyed with rouge, and she whispered: "What, why are you leaving?" β
Jing Yi raised his eyebrows, and asked in an unkind tone: "Otherwise, do you want me to pay for this skirt?" β
"No, no, no, no." Wen Yanxi raised her hands and shook them like rattles, she raised her head, stared into the other party's eyes, and asked cautiously, "Are you a little uncomfortable?" Just look at you......"
"Nope."
Throwing down these words, Jing Yi walked around the other party with his guitar on his back, pushed open the glass door with great difficulty, and plunged headlong into the scorching summer heat.
Wen Yanxi turned to stare at his departing back, pouting, as if he had tens of thousands of grievances, until Wen's mother called her, and then reluctantly returned to the chair and sat down.
"What's wrong?" Mother Wen seemed to sense her daughter's unhappiness and asked worriedly.
Wen Yanxi shook her head and drooped her head, at a young age, she didn't know what "love at first sight" was, she only knew that for some reason, she just glanced at each other, and she wanted to make friends with him. Thinking that the other party had left, her heart couldn't be recovered.
With a "poof", Wen Yanxi jumped down from the chair, picked up the backpack and rushed out, and Wen's mother followed behind and kept calling her......
After leaving the fruit shop and going out, Jingyi found a bus stop, and he carefully checked every point on the sign where every shuttle bus passed. The game started at three o'clock, and it was already two and fifteen o'clock, and the summer heat and the anxiety in his heart made his sweat drip down his cheeks and onto the ground.
At this time, Wen Yanxi, who was out of the door of the fruit drink shop, saw Jing Yi standing on the bus platform at a glance, she smiled, shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, and ran over in a hurry.
As soon as she arrived in front of her, she quickly opened the zipper of her backpack, took out the small bread inside and stuffed it into Jing Yi's hand, the other party was stunned by her sudden move, and before she could react, Mother Wen had already rushed here, and dragged her away after a few words of gentle reprimand.
Jing Yi stood in place with bread in his hand, Wen Yanxi turned around and waved his hand to him with a smile, and the figure quickly disappeared into the flow of people...... At this time, just as the car came, Keiichi retracted his gaze, stuffed the bread into his guitar bag haphazardly, and hurriedly squeezed it.
As soon as he got on the bus, Jing Yi suddenly felt a little hot in his nasal cavity, and when he touched it with his hand, bright red blood flowed out. The old grandmother sitting next to him hurriedly took out the paper from her bag and gave him a paper, "Child, quick, wipe it quickly, why did you have a nosebleed!" β
Jing Yi said "thank you" and quickly pressed his fingers tightly against the bleeding nasal cavity, but the bright red blood had already dropped a few drops on the white T-shirt, he frowned, not worried about the nosebleed, but just thinking about whether it was really okay to dress like this to participate in the competition, and there was not enough time to go back to the hotel.
After arriving at the destination, Jing Yi stood outside the event site, and there were less than ten minutes left before the start of the game, he gritted his teeth and went to sign in first to get the sign. Then while waiting for the game, he secretly ran to the bathroom, drenched himself in some water, and laboriously scrubbed the blood spots on his clothes. He gave up after doing this futile work several times, took a handful of water and rinsed his face, looked up in the mirror and scratched his hair, and took a deep breath before turning away.
When he came on the court, Jing Yi's heart was "fluttering", he lowered his head, secretly cheered himself up, and then walked up with a guitar, glanced around, and there were four judges sitting below. After briefly introducing himself, Jing Yi sat down in his chair and began to play and sing to himself.
Just after singing a few words, before the chorus part, the judge sitting in the second position on the right hand suddenly interrupted with a sharp voice: "It's okay, can you dance?" β
"Ahh
Singing to Xing was suddenly interrupted, Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, he looked at each other nervously, and nodded.
"Okay, let's have a little bit of that."
There was no music, Jing Yi danced a few movements dryly, and the ridicule of the judges came from under the "poof......", and when he "brushed", his face suddenly turned red to the root of his ears, and he immediately stiffened on the stage, looking at the four judges who were laughing at the bottom with a bewildered face.
"Hahaha, handsome little guy, with all due respect, it's really ...... that you're still coming to compete at your level Whether it's singing or dancing, have you ever learned, talent is important, but without systematic learning, with your level, it is inevitable that you will be on the stage if you want to be on ......the stage."
"Yes, you just played and sang, I don't deny that your voice is very good, but you lack basic skills, you can't even change the simplest ventilation, it's hard to sing well. In the case of dancing, too, the movements are too stiff and lack of movement. It's like a little person spinning in a music box, and it's more appropriate to say it's a dance exercise than a dance. β
After the two judges commented, the rest nodded their heads in agreement.
Hearing these words, Jing Yi's face was a little ugly, his hands clenched unconsciously, he bit his lower lip, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at the judges' eyes.
Suddenly, he picked up his guitar from the ground and turned away......
This kind of scene can encounter any situation, so the judges are not surprised by Jing Yi's rude behavior, and sighed to himself, shook his head, and called the next one.
After going out, Jing Yi didn't leave in a hurry, he sat on the steps in front of the door, thinking about what the judges had just said, and his heart was bitter.
Yes, he is not without talent, he is not without hard work, but he lacks systematic training and lacks the guidance and encouragement of others. But his self-esteem has always been very strong, and he has just been really hit, and he has been crushed not only for these, but also for dreams.
After sitting for a while, Jing Yi got up and left here, he turned his head and glanced at the guitar beside him, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and turned his head away......
