Not long after Jiang Shangbei went out, Tao Bo called Xu Yan and said, "Little Xu Yan, is it empty now?" Why don't we get out now? Hang out and talk and talk. ”

Xu Yan happily agreed, thinking about it, he was going to meet someone he admired, and he had to clean himself up.

I was entangled in what I was going to wear to go out, and I flipped to the JK that Qi Li sent me some time ago, and after thinking about it, I still think that I should wear a skirt. Although, a little suspicious of pretending to be tender.

The two of them are nothing more than shopping, stop-and-go, time flies, and when they come out of the shopping mall, it is already the beginning of the lights.

"It is said that shopping malls do not have windows where you can look out, just to make women forget the time, so it's really true...... It's been a long time since I've been shopping so aimlessly," Taupole sighed, and asked curiously, "How do you have time to come out today?" Didn't stay with Jiang Shang? ”

Xu Yan took a sip of the passion fruit double cannon and said, "He and Qin Huai went out to eat." Brother Qin Huai is in for a treat. ”

Tao Bo touched his chin, looked at Xu Yan, and said, "No wonder you seem to be letting yourself go today, but this set is quite suitable for you, and there is no sense of disobedience when you wear it." ”

"Hey, Jiang Shang is not here, let's go have some fun?" Tao Pool smiled, "You poor little girl, how boring it is to stay alone since you were a child." Sister takes you to relax and unwind. ”

Xu Yan was confused, not knowing what people thought, so Tao Bo continued to ask: "Are you hungry now?" ”

Xu Yan drank most of the drink, shook the cup at the person, and said, "Not at all." ”

"Okay, I'll take you somewhere." I called a car, took Xu Yan out of the pedestrian street, got in the car, and went to the destination.

Although Xu Yan has been in Shanghai for three years, he still spends most of his time wandering around the area where he lives, and he doesn't like to run far away to play, except foraging for food, of course.

Taupol was familiar with the way, and led people to the door of an inconspicuous small shop.

The entrance is very narrow, and looking at the signboard design outside, it looks like a small barber shop.

Taupol took out his mobile phone and moved his finger quickly on the screen, then took the person's hand and said, "Let's go, I'm waiting inside." ”

"Huh?"

Inside, down the steps, through a corridor that is not too short, the sound of music came, and sure enough, there was a hole inside.

"I thought it was a barbershop," Xu Yan said, looking at the singer auditioning in front of the stage, "It turned out to be a livehouse." ”

Tao Pool led her to sit down, beckoned to the front of the stage, lowered his head and said to Xu Yan: "Good sister, this is my old nest, I haven't even brought Qin Huai." ”

There was a not-so-intense drum beat in my ears, and my bewildering voice began to hum.

Tao Pool lowered his head and said two messages, looked at Xu Yan and looked around, and said, "Here are almost all friends who have fought together before. Well. How to say it, this place is not as good as Qin Huai, but there are still a lot of things in it. ”

It didn't take long for someone to come over with drinks and food, put it on the table and didn't plan to leave, looked at Xu Yan, and asked Tao Pool with a smile: "Where did you come from, little sister?" It's not good to bring people here......"

Xu Yan looked at the visitor, with neat short hair, a delicate figure, and a small string of black studs on the right ear bone, shining seductively in the dim light.

Tao Pool pushed the food to Xu Yan and said, "Hey, adult, what are you drinking?" ”

Someone came to say, "Hey, I heard you're going to make it yourself." After saying that, he hooked it to the shoulder.

Taupol ignored her, picked up the cup and sniffed it, frowned, and said, "Change the glass, others can't drink this." ”

Xu Yan stared at the cup for a while and said, "It's so beautiful......"

"Did you hear that, people praised me, hey sister, this cup is for you!" The short-haired woman smiled bewitchingly, "It's okay, you can drink it without worry, I will guarantee that you won't have any problems." ”

Taupol waved his hand impatiently and said, "Hurry up and get busy with your, don't dangle it in front of my eyes." ”

The short-haired woman waved her hand, didn't say much else, and left.

Xu Yan picked up a cookie and asked, "Was it my sister's friend just now?" ”

Taupol could not deny it, and said: "She is an annoying spirit, sometimes she doesn't have to talk to you in a word, and she doesn't have a proper way to speak." ”

After speaking, he took a sip of the person brought it, his eyes lit up, and he said, "It's pretty good." You, drink it yourself, I'm not your mother and can't stop you, but I'm still afraid that something will happen to you. ”

It's hard to explain when the time comes, after all, I brought it out by myself.

Xu Yan took a sip slightly, also bent his eyebrows, and said, "She's so powerful, this is a very good place." ”

"Ha, don't go back and tell Qin Huai that he came to learn art, otherwise I will be scolded to death."

"Qin Huai can learn business methods, decoration, and technology, but where did he dig the people here?" Xu Yan looked around and said with a smile, "I guess my sister was here before, why did she leave?" ”

"It's not that Jiangnan is good for retirement," Tao Bool said and whistled at the stage again, "Once a person gets used to comfort, he doesn't want to break his head and bleed." That is, with the idea of wanting to rest for a while, I took it with Qin Huai for a week or two, and then I didn't want to leave, so he took the opportunity to pull me into the gang. ”

Xu Yan took another sip and said, "My sister is not old, and she is in her prime." ”

Taupol didn't speak, only lowered his head and smiled, and said later: "My most impulsive years have passed, and now I'm talking about leading the band to float outside, in fact, I can't let go of the children in the team, they don't know how to follow me, I have to take them to earn a little more while I still have money." ”

"In a year or two, I guess I'll either go behind the scenes and agree to a company to do production, or I'll go back to Seoul to become a teacher. It's good to think about being a teacher once in a while, didn't Old Man Li also take me well back then. ”

Xu Yan listened to others, but she couldn't interject, knowing that she was also lacking someone to listen.

The round of performances on stage was over, and the bassist put the piano and walked this way.

Taupol raised his glass to the man and said, "You're still a good mixer." ”

The slightly unkempt man who came sat down at the table and said, "Why did you run back?" Then he looked at Xu Yan and took another sip of the drink, smiled at her, and said, "Tao Pole, you recognize your little sister everywhere again?" This is too small, I don't want my broken store to be investigated. ”

Xu Yan hurriedly said: "Ah, I'm going to be twenty-six when I become an adult......"

You can't blame her, who knew that Taupol wanted to come to the livehouse out of nowhere, otherwise he wouldn't have come in JK.

Taupol drove people away and said, "If you are rare, why don't I go on stage and sing a few more songs for me, I still want to have a good chat with someone." ”

The man looked at Taupol meaningfully and said, "If I can show that I am rare and you are in a hurry, then why don't you go to the original ceremony?" ”

"How many years have you been playing petty?"

Taupol waved his hand and said, "I was wrong, don't hurt me again, or I'm afraid I'll really smash you again." ”

"Yo, I know I'm sorry for the money, so I have to thank you for saving me some money to sign up for the cram school for the bell."

Taupol smiled casually, and the man continued, "The one who has returned is a guest, so you can play by yourself." I still have to earn money. Oh yes, Yuan Li approached me. That kid really wants to bribe me, hahaha. ”

Receiving Tao Pol's harsh eyes, he hurriedly said: "How upright a father I am!" Of course I won't say. ”

After that, he returned to his post.

Xu Yan blinked and asked, "Is he the boss......?" ”

"Ah, yes, this uncle depends on this little broken shop to support his family."

"I thought that everyone was very casual, and there was no burden to do their favorite music outside...... Ah, I don't mean anything else, it's just...... It's a little different than I thought. ”

"Poof...... "Taupol" said with a smile, "what about your dreamy idea, everyone who plays music is the first ideal, do what you like best, and don't worry about anything else." ”

"At first, everyone was full of ambition, and they were very happy to break through on a thorny road, some people survived to success, and some people returned to reality halfway, starting a family and finding another way."

"There are a lot of people who study art, and after ten or twenty years of time, they don't know what they will gain in the end. But since you chose it in the first place, whether you like it or a family tradition or just see it as a means to go to college, you have to grit your teeth and go on. ”

Taupol said, sighed, and said: "Everyone here likes music, even if they are forced by life, oh, that drummer, he doesn't look young, his child is about to go to junior high school, vivi at the bar, she used to be from the same school as me, she has a younger brother and a younger sister." My brother is in my band, and my sister is in high school. The boss just now, his son is five years old this year, he likes to draw, and he wants to hire a good teacher for him. ”

"Boss, when I was still in college, he formed an electronic band with others, and he was also famous, but after all, the electronic band was still a niche at that time, and he couldn't make much money, and finally his partner left, and he was urged to get married and have children every two years......

"Maybe he still can't let go of the love in his heart, so he opened such a store. He helped me when I didn't know the way to the door at first. ”

Taking a sip silently, Xu Yan nodded and said, "I think it's also very good, it takes into account life and dreams, even if it is a little different from the original idea, but it should be the best compromise." ”

Taupol looked at the stage, his eyes were full of light, and after a while, he said: "Everyone, who makes art, actually longs for attention and recognition for their works. If it is really for fame and fortune, it is not so important, but more about passing on your thoughts through everyone's attention. ”

"Our works are the carriers of our thoughts, condensing our painstaking efforts, and only when they are seen by everyone can they exert their meaning."

"Even if it is here, you can only pick up the piano at night and perform for others to see, which is to convey a belief of your own."

The music strikes the eardrums, as if it is a mental tapping, again and again. It's not the same as playing the piano on your own and on the black and white keys, it's a feeling that you can only experience as a listener.

It seems that the Universal Youth Hostel has sang: "Who is from the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, but is confined to the kitchen and love day and night." "People pioneered and initially pursued what they wanted in their hearts, some of them rushed straight and succeeded, and some of them couldn't save the country even if they were curved. But after all, people will know how to satisfy themselves, and will always find 10,000 ways to live comfortably.

My last wish is that I have my ideals in my hands, and I am also accompanied by fireworks in the world.

It's like a person who is nostalgic for the stage and pursues art, and when he mentions his youngest son, he also looks pleased, Xu Yan feels that it is the most flavorful warmth in the world.
