opera house

The Lanying Club at night, illuminated by the high-brightness spotlights in all directions, seems to be a palace where the gods live, Tian Meng began to marvel all the way from the moment he entered the gate, and even the waiter who opened the door for him was wearing a haute couture dress, and fortunately he spent money to buy a Givenchy T-shirt of the season.

was led to a spacious and luxurious side hall, and I saw three young people with extraordinary bearing sitting together drinking and chatting.

Jiang Zhihuan hooked his fingers, and Tian Meng walked over knowingly, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Pour a glass of wine for Mr. Xiao." Jiang Zhihuan turned his face in the direction of Xiao Ling, and said half-teasing and half-serious.

Tian Meng hurriedly bent down, filled the crystal wine glass with XO, and handed it to the young man with a cold expression, he thought that billionaires were all fat-headed and fat-brained uncles, but he didn't expect that all of them had star faces, and they were still very young, and the faint discomfort in his heart was instantly less.

"Brother Zhihuan?" Xiao Ling looked at Jiang Zhihuan with some confusion.

"He's the kind you're looking for." Jiang Zhihuan raised his eyebrows and smiled at Xiao Ling.

Tian Meng didn't know what the current situation was, bent down and held the wine glass and smiled dryly, in order to hide his embarrassment, he glanced at the wrist of the person known as Mr. Xiao, his eyes suddenly glowed, and he showed an exaggerated expression without concealing it, and exclaimed:

"Mr. Xiao's watch is really good-looking."

Xiao Ling took off the international watch on his wrist and threw it into the wine glass that Tian Meng was holding.

"Drink it! It's yours. ”

Tian Meng rolled his Adam's apple, looking at the eyes of the wine glass, which were round and flashing with gold coins, and with a bang, he was gone.

"Am I right?" Jiang Zhihuan smiled at Xiao Ling, with an expression of invitation.

Ed chuckled and leaned over to Donn's side, "Someone is really like a wild horse that has escaped from the reins, galloping on the vast prairie, and I can't pull it even if I run and drag, I am powerless about it, see how your little sweetheart ends up when he returns." ”

Xiao Ling: "....." Men are animals from which lust can be separated.

At the office of ONCEMORE in Los Angeles, Candy handed Lin Yi a gift box bag.

"This is a gift for big customers, today is Ni Huang's birthday, you can take it with you!"

Lin Yi took the bag, thought about it for a while, and asked the assistant to book a French restaurant, although he had some personal opinions about Ni Huang, he could show the necessary sincerity as a partner.

After getting off work, I came to Ni Huang's residence, and as soon as I opened the door, the melodious sound of the piano floated over, and Ni Huang was sitting in front of the black grand piano by the floor-to-ceiling window, playing intently.

When Lin Yi saw this piano for the first time, he imagined what it would be like to sit there and play with Ni Huang's irascible personality.

At this time, Ni Huang's ten fingers jumped on the piano, sonorous and powerful, smart and lively, the knuckles and wrists formed a charming arc, the beautiful melody poured out from his fingers, the high-level playing technique was no less than that of professionals, the shirt looked more snow-white against the background of the black grand piano, and the moon hung brightly on the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window, projected on the piano, projected on Ni Huang's body, making him look like a fairy in the night.

Lin Yi couldn't bear to disturb him, sitting quietly on the sofa, listening to the melodious melody, his tired body and mind had been soothed these days, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long later, a voice sounded in my ears, from small to loud, from big to loud, and finally so big that it was deafening, Lin Yi trembled one by one, opened his eyes, and saw Ni Huang's angry face.

"LEO, GET ME UP WHILE I STILL HAVE A GOOD TALK."

Lin Yi rubbed his temples, "There's no need to be angry, what you played was a commemoration of love, it was originally a lullaby, and I fell asleep is the greatest affirmation for you." ”

Ni Huang pulled Lin Yi up and kicked Lin Yi in the waist, "Do you want to sleep and be lazy?" I'm going out. ”

Lin Yi: "......" It is said that the waist is a man's life.

Suddenly remembering something, he turned around and picked up the bag on the sofa and handed it to Ni Huang, "This is a birthday gift from our company to customers, and this is a private gift from me to you." ”

Ni Huang opened the paper bag, the flannel box was Swarovski's LOGO, inside was a crystal car hanger, and then tore open another silver wrapper, inside was an original English version of "Jane Eyre".

"Just give me this?" Ni Huang's face turned black and white for a while.

"We're a small company with a huge loan, I'm sorry!"

"I mean this book, when I was an elementary school student?"

"Primary school students know that ordinary people also have dignity, have the right to love and be loved, the stronger the more they know how to treat everyone equally, Ni always seems to forget."

"Want to preach?" Ni Huang snorted disdainfully, "I don't need these, as long as you lie on the bed, it's a gift, and if you feel too insincere, tie a bow to yourself." ”

Lin Yi has become immune to his verbal provocations these days, and he is not angry, "I have booked a restaurant, do you want to go out to eat?" ”

"No, I'm going to see a musical by the Italian ArdΓ© Song and Dance Troupe!"

....... "My French dinner!"

Lin Yi drove Ni Huang to the Los Angeles Opera House, which was crowded with people and dense crowds, all the gentlemen and ladies dressed in decent clothes, queuing up to enter, Lin Yi came to Ni Huang's side after buying tickets.

"Go buy coffee." Ni Huang said.

Lin Yi: "......" can't be finished all at once?

After a while, Lin Yi came over with a coffee cup again, and Ni Huang picked up the coffee and took a sip, "Ah, hot!" Bastard, if it's hot, you should say it! ”

"I didn't say I wanted iced coffee!" For this difficult child, Lin Yi always reminded himself to show twelve points of patience.

Finally sat down in the venue, because the ticket buying time was late, Lin Yi did not buy tickets for the VIP area, the two of them crowded in the back row of the audience, and there was still a period of time before leaving the venue, Ni Huang was irritable and chest tightened by the uncirculated air around him.

"I'll go to the bathroom." With that, he turned and walked out.

Shortly after Ni Huang left, bang! A loud bang was accompanied by a slight earthquake, the lights of the opera house were darkened, and they became invisible, and the terrifying atmosphere instantly filled the surroundings, and the gentlemen and ladies in the theater suddenly panicked, screaming, roaring, and crying, and the people who were originally in their seats rushed out.

Lin Yi didn't react for a while, he got up blankly, and was squeezed out by the crowd, he thought of the terrorist attack he saw in the news.

Because he was sitting in the back row, close to the exit, it didn't take long for Lin Yi to be squeezed by the crowd and came to the outside of the opera house without touching the ground, the surrounding shops and roads were also dark, and there was smoke not far away, and the road had fallen into chaos, the sound of crashes, car horns, screams, crying, sirens, all kinds of sounds filled the eardrums, the people around him were scurrying around, Lin Yi was hit countless times, almost fell, and the space shrouded in darkness was as terrifying as falling into the end of the world.

Lin Yi forced himself to calm down, and after calming down, he first took out his mobile phone to dial Ni Huang's number, dialed a few times but couldn't get through, pulled his legs and ran to the opera house, facing the crowd against the current and squeezing in desperately, he instinctively wanted to find Ni Huang who came with him.

After more than half an hour, the flow of people pouring out became less, and Lin Yi finally entered the opera house again, ignoring the painful instep that was stepped on, and under the faint light of the mobile phone, he touched the direction of the bathroom, and at this time there was silence all around, and the darkness was frightening.

"Ni Huang!!" Lin Yi shouted loudly, and in the empty opera house, his voice was particularly distinct, revealing nervous tremors.

"Ni Huang! Where are you? Lin Yi dialed Ni Huang's phone again, he wasn't sure if Ni Huang had come out with the flow of people, but the mobile phone still couldn't be connected.

Finally, finding the sign of the bathroom, Lin Yi touched it.

"Ni Huang?" The mirror on the sink reflected his own shadow, and the frightened Lin Yi jumped back, took a few quick breaths, and continued to walk inside, shining the light of his mobile phone into the cubicle.

"Ni Huang? Are you there? Pushing open the door one by one, there was no one, looking for the right row, and pushing open the left row of doors one by one, in the last corner of the cubicle, pushing the door open, a black figure curled up on the toilet made Lin Yi's heart tight.

"Ni Huang?" In the dim light, the man lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, and Lin Yi screamed tentatively.

Suddenly, the man pounced on Lin Yi, pushed Lin Yi to the ground, and bit Lin Yi the neck.

"Ahβ€”β€”!h Lin Yi screamed, his neck was bitten painfully, he could feel that the man's teeth had penetrated the skin, and as long as he moved slightly, his flesh would be torn off.

"Ni Huang?" Lin Yiqiang endured the pain, confirmed the identity of the person who held him down, and after smelling the familiar smell of the ancient cologne of the proud son of Saint Laurent, he determined that this crazy figure was Ni Huang.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Yi felt that the person who was pressing him was trembling violently all over his body, as if he had taken drugs.

"You, are you scared?" Through this period of contact, Lin Yi was convinced that Ni Huang did not take drugs, so his abnormality could only be explained as a dark phobia.

Lin Yi used to read parenting books when he had some understanding of this symptom, when children do not know the difference between the real world and the illusory world, they will be afraid of the dark, thinking that there will be demons in the illusory world, and there is also a situation, if there is a long-term experience of falling into the dark in childhood, it will form a psychological shadow, and in adulthood, it is still afraid of the dark, maybe Ni Huang belongs to this.

Lin Yi patted Ni Huang's back and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you out." ”

The man who bit him was unmoved, still tense all over, pressing him with all his strength and biting hard.

Lin Yi hugged Ni Huang lightly and sang a children's rhyme.

"There is a flock of ducks swimming on the bridge in front of the door, come and count the two, four, six, seven, eight......."

Every night when Vivian was scared, he reassured Vivian like this, not knowing if it would work, and he could only try it now.

Lin Yi sang all the nursery rhymes he knew over and over again, feeling that the mouth of the person holding him down loosened a little, and his body trembled less obviously, and he continued to sing, "Happy birthday to you!" Happy birthday to you! ……”

I don't know the passage of time in the dark, the two fell on the floor of the bathroom, I don't know how long it took, Ni Huang finally came to consciousness, he felt a fishy sweetness in his mouth, the lips he bit hard were numb, his teeth were sore, and he gradually let go of his mouth.

"Ni Huang?" Lin Yi finally got rid of Ni Huang's almost beast-like clamps, sat up, and saw that Ni Huang's forehead was covered with cold sweat through the faint light of his mobile phone.

"I'll send you home!" After saying that, he picked up Ni Huang, walked out of the bathroom and walked out of the opera house with stumbling steps.

The order on the street has gradually calmed down under the command of the police, and Lin Yi helped Ni Huang get into the car.

Back at the residence, Lin Yi helped Ni Huang sit down on the bed, and saw that his face was still very pale.

"Drink water?" Lin Yi asked with concern.

"LEO" Ni Huang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Don't go!" ”

"......" Lin Yi hesitated.

"Don't go! Please, LEO! I'm not going to do anything, please don't go! ”

Looking at Ni Huang's pale face and bloodshot eyes, Lin Yi's heart softened.

"I'm not leaving, I'm watching you sleep!"

Lin Yi lifted the quilt, and Ni Huang moved his body and curled up inside.

Childhood experience came to mind, before receiving home education, he had been to school for a few days, during an out-of-school activity, he was kidnapped, the kidnappers locked him in the basement where he couldn't see his fingers, the endless darkness and fear eroded him, he could only curl up, cry, spend a biting cold winter night in that basement, when he was rescued by the police, he was already a soulless doll, and then after a long period of psychological treatment, he finally returned to normal, and he never went to school again, I didn't dare to turn off the lights and sleep at night.

"LEO," Ni Huang said in the quilt, "sing me another song...... I don't want to listen to nursery rhymes. ”

Lin Yi sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a moment, except for the children's rhyme sung to Vivian, the only one that could remember the lyrics was that one, the song that he practiced with someone all night in high school, and finally sang together on stage.

Lin Yi sang slowly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Ni Huang, who was curled up in the quilt, didn't see how sad the eyes of the person sitting next to his bed were.

"The Bright Moon Sends Acacia"

The night is dark

Around the cover, the crescent moon in the sky is like a hook

Reminiscing about the past is like a dream

Rediscover your dreams, where to seek

People are thousands of miles apart, and the road is long

I haven't asked the stars to be scarce

Please bring greetings to the bright moon

Tears often flow when people are missing

The night was hazy

The night is not over, and the surroundings are lonely and quiet

The cold lamp on the table, the light is unknown

Accompany me to be lonely, bitter and lonely

People are thousands of miles away, and there is no news

But there is no basis for asking from afar

Please send the letter on behalf of Mingyue

Send me a piece of paper to comfort the parting feelings

People are thousands of miles apart, and the road is long

I haven't asked far away, and the stars are thin

Please bring greetings to the bright moon

Tears often flow when people are missing

Tears often flow when people are missing

…….
