Chapter 40: The Moon Bends
Crape myrtle flowers mixed with jasmine bloom in May during the graduation season.
Fourth-year students wear bachelor's uniforms of different colors, which also bloom in every corner of the campus like flowers. Colorful butterflies leap up and down, through the sea of flowers, all the way to the lawn of the track and field.
Here, the graduates pose in a variety of poses, relentlessly unleashing the last pretentiousness.
Lin Yue missed the physical test because of the flu isolation last semester, and will complete the last 800 meters with her make-up test classmates today
"Ready! Run! ”
Lin Yue always rushed to the front, the track and field was densely crowded, and all kinds of posing people were crowded on the track, she moved the route left and right, shopping for the last 200 meters.
The carnival of one world, the loneliness of one person.
On such a day, Lin Yue is testing, and it is really not the right time.
"3 minutes and 40 seconds! Not bad! The teacher pressed the timer for the first time.
The cool breeze blew, the sweat on Lin Yue's back evaporated rapidly, and she only felt hoarse and speechless.
"Hey-uh-" Lin Yue pinched her throat and adjusted her vocal cords, but she was always harsh and hoarse.
"It's over...... it's over" Lin Yue said to herself, the campus top ten singer contest in the evening, how can this male duck voice go into battle?
After it was over, Lin Yue called Jensenjie and struggled to describe his predicament, hoping to get some remedies from him.
"It's okay, the smoke voice is also very popular, if you can't hold on, it's okay to quit the competition, you can't waste the throat!"
After listening to Jen Senjie's comfort, Lin Yue became even more depressed, "Can you say something good?" ”
"I'm already realistic! If you're going, I'll accompany you at night! ”
Lin Yue was half encouraged and devoted herself to the evening rehearsal.
Zhan Senjie arrived at the scene in advance and accompanied Lin Yue through the process. He handed the water cup to Lin Yue, and the temperature of the water inside had dropped below room temperature.
Lin Yue pointed at his throat and looked at him painfully, hoping to have a good heart. However, Zhan Senjie didn't realize anything, unscrewed the water cup that Lin Yue refused, and drank it all.
"Give!"
Nian Kai walked up from the backstage with a guitar and handed Lin Yue a cup of hot water. Yu Lin Yue was unexpected, and Yu Nian Kai was reasonable.
"Thank you!" Lin Yue felt a warm current in his heart.
"Where did you come from?" Jensenjie turned cloudy and sounded the alarm.
"I've been tuning in the background, and Lin Yue's voice can't be used." Nian Kai showed a sympathetic look.
Zhan Senjie twisted the cup and took Lin Yue's hand, "Lin Yue can be on it, I have the final say, she is really talented, this song perfectly fits her current voice." ”
Nian Kai helplessly glanced down at the thousands of seats under the stage, it will be full of audiences and judges at night, Lin Yue's singing voice reveals unconfidence and unpreparedness, tonight will be even heavier This feeling, no singer will want to be at the bottom of his ranking.
Nian Kai sighed, "Your song has to be changed." ”
Lin Yue thought he had heard it wrong.
"The tonal treatment of your song "Moon Bend", it is best to lower all the tones, and then match the tone."
"But it's too late." Lin Yue bit the paper cup and flashed a glimmer of hope.
"Just in time! I'll help you change it! Nian Kai slapped the guitar and confidently promised.
Lin Yue couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart, just like a wandering singer who suddenly met a packaged record company to create your own path to success.
Lin Yue let go of Jen Senjie's hand, "Where do we start?" ”
"The dressing room, there's paper and pen there."
"Good!"
"Hey......" Jensenjie grabbed Lin Yue's arm, "You're just leaving?" ”
"yes, it's too late! You wait for me. ”
"I won't wait for you! I'm going too! Jen Senjie glanced at Nian Kai, "You two tune slowly, at this point, you won't make up any decent tunes." ”
"Nian Kai is very good, I won't tell you, it's really too late!" Lin Yue hurriedly disappeared at the end of the stage.
"Excellent? Not necessarily! Jensenjie muttered, sitting in the judges' seats.
"Hello classmates, we have to clean up the crowd of judges' seats in advance and place the scoreboard, can you go to the back position?"
A student in a formal attire made a gesture of please.
Zhan Senjie lifted the tennis racket and walked away, sure enough, nothing could restrain Zhan Huang's freedom, whether he wanted to perform at night or not, it was up to him.
Nian Kai focused on drawing the stave of each paragraph, and rearranged the tone according to Lin Yue's existing voice.
Lin Yue was impressed and was in awe of Niankai's musical literacy.
"So, in the last section, I can help you with the chorus, C to F, and then to B, and my range is E2 to E4, which can help you harmonize......"
Lin Yue looked at Nian Kai intently, his mouth shape exuded the seductive beauty of a bass, he loved music so much, and he adhered to the mentality of preferring lack to abundance to every work he handled, even if it was an hour before the performance, he was not in danger.
"You, why don't you participate in some music auditions?"
Lin Yue was deeply impressed by Nian Kai's artistic knowledge and sincerely hoped that he would engage in the work he was passionate about.
Nian Kai smiled embarrassedly, "This is a matter for the future, and I am still immersed in medical anatomy and can't extricate myself?" ”
"Do you have a desire to create while dissecting? Just like Conan, seeing the corpses in rivers of blood will inspire the solution of the case, 'There is always only one truth!' 'Did I learn like this?' ”
Lin Yue's mind was wide open, and he talked to Yunshen who didn't know where to go, but Nian Kai was hit by these whimsical jokes, it turned out that some people would be like him, and they would have a derivative desire to imitate and create those inexplicable things.
"Alright! Don't let your chorus partner put their lives in danger before the scene, tomorrow the headline will be: 'Shock! On the night of a college performance, a boy with a guitar in his hand and a smile died suddenly in the dressing room. ’”
"Hahahaha......" Lin Yue clapped her hands and laughed, Nian Kai can catch her brain, and she is really a "dragon and phoenix among people" and "a genius of the sky".
After the host's concise opening remarks, the curtain slowly opened, the blue light hit the dry ice, and the curtain was a bright moon, gradually changing in cloudy and sunny days.
In order to present a better effect on the style of music, Nian Kai temporarily removed the guitar and changed the piano accompaniment.
The moon is flowing water, the boya is the piano, the song is high and low, and the aftersound is lingering.
"Meet in the old place
Now the song is over
All that remains is the original faith
Looking back, the world is impermanent
The moon bend was half heartbroken in pain
The moonlight has dyed all these years so blue
……”
Lin Yue's alto, combined with the last bass ensemble of Nian Kai, showed the tacit understanding between the two to the fullest, and the curtain call of the first performance raised the stage level to a great height.
"New Year! New Year's Day! ”
The fans of the "young and promising" under the stage were surprised by Nian Kai's first appearance, and the frenzied shouts continued until the end of the host's next announcement.
Lin Yue glanced at the audience when she got off the stage, and did not see Jen Senjie's figure, in the thunderous applause and farewell, she hoped that Jen Senjie could see it in the audience and accompany her through all the joy and happiness.
Nian Kai also had two guitar soundtracks, hurriedly said goodbye to Lin Yue, and threw himself into busy preparations.
Lin Yue sat in the corner of the dressing room and dialed Jensenjie's phone.
There was no answer.
She was dressed in a gorgeous costume and a touch of makeup, sitting among the Houtai actors who came and went, inexplicably sad.
Sometimes fate is so wrong, some people have not shared joy and sweetness when you are happy, but they will always taste your bitterness when you are in danger and help you tide over the difficulties.
Lin Yue never regrets her choice, it's just that doubts will deepen, confidence will dissipate, waiting will be shortened, and anxiety will spread.
Because of the order of the first place, the score of "Moon Bend" tends to be in the middle and upper reaches, and it misses the top three. But with Niankai's popularity, Lin Yue still won the "Best Performance Award".
She said that she hoped that this award belonged to her and Nian Kai.
Zhan Senjie sweated profusely and ended the "informal inter-faculty singles match", the whole game was absent-minded, Lin Yue's dependence on Nian Kai stimulated his nerves, he put on a huge coat, looked up at the quarter moon in the sky, and unconsciously walked to the door of the track and field.
Lin Yue was still waiting for him here as usual.
"Did Nian Kai give you the first place?"
Jensenjie forced a smile on his face, looking nonchalant.
"You know what? No matter what position I get tonight, after the performance I think of you, I look into the audience and comfort myself that the light is so dim that you must be sitting in a seat waiting for me to finish the performance and give me a warm hug. ”
Lin Yue was wearing a thin skirt, standing under the cool night, saying these sad words, Zhan Senjie's heart seemed to be twisted, he stepped forward and put his coat on Lin Yue, his voice trembled slightly:
"If you don't dislike the smell of my sweat, can I hug you?"
Flowers bloom during the day when you see them; Beloved, you will understand when you say it.
Lin Yue cried and laughed, laughed and cried, and threw herself into Jensenjie's arms. This second, all the wait is worth it.
"I didn't even touch the edge of the top three!"
"Me too, I didn't win a game tonight."
"You might as well watch me sing!"
"Makes sense, continue next year!"
The voices of two people echoed in the air, and all sincerity should not be disappointed. The crescent moon in the sky shines on flowers, insects, birds and beasts, and they are never absent at night.
