Time is gone

Memories always dissipate

Suddenly looked back

We are happy but short-lived

The flowers once bloomed brilliantly

Laughter once lit up the night

Yet the eyes blinked

We are all alone tonight

Oh~oh~

We meet, we fall in love, we say goodbye

Oh~oh~

Your appearance, your farewell, are all in a moment ("Instant", G.E.M)

Walking into the central plaza of the "Ant Nest" and entering the tunnel leading to the ward, Fan Lixi sat in Kram. On Yang's scooter, he heard a familiar singing voice and an unfamiliar melody coming from ahead. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw Ni Ziqiong sitting on a small chair on the edge of the tunnel, holding a blood-red folk guitar and singing.

Seeing Fan Li's appearance in the field of vision, Ni Ziqiong's palm pressed the strings, and the sound stopped abruptly.

"Aren't you on a mission?"

"That's right, we're on a mission." Ni Ziqiong smiled at herself.

"Then why are you still here?"

"My job is to watch you." Ni Ziqiong replied.

Fan Lixi stepped off the scooter and Crum. Yang continued to drive forward. Fan Li followed Ni Ziqiong out of the tunnel, followed her left and right, walked to a silver hut, opened the door, and found some guitars and pianos inside.

"This is your singing room?" Walking into the room, Fan asked as he looked at the poster on the wall.

"That's right, at that time, while preparing for the music, I also gave advice to Lan Pa, so I simply set up a practice room here, and sometimes when I was inspired, I arranged the music and prepared for the new album. I didn't debut at a very young age, and I needed a quality album to fill my strength, but I was tired of the pressure brought by the 'ant nest', so I could only vent here. Sometimes, the helplessness that comes with watching cyberbullying. I could only cry into my guitar. Ni Ziqiong handed the guitar in her hand to Fan Li, who saw the letters "EFQ" engraved on the back of the guitar bridge.

"This guitar is customized for you by Qin Ziyang?"

"No, Qin Ziyang made it for me himself. At that time, I had a good relationship with Ziyang, we talked here a lot, and she did this for me as soon as she was happy. ”

Fan Li tried the audition, he was not an expert, he couldn't hear anything, he just thought it was very pleasant, and he thought it was good.

"Which song is Ye Yuning's favorite?" Ni Ziqiong sat on the piano and asked.

"Zebra Zebra." Fan replied without thinking. "She didn't say that. But when a person sings when she is happy and when she is sad, this should be her favorite song. ”

"Come, Biao two sentences!" After Ni Ziqiong finished speaking, Fan Li shook his head vigorously.

"No, sing it in front of you, don't I get an axe from the class?"

"You still sang in front of Ye Yuning." Ni Ziqiong said that he had already played the prelude, and the familiar prelude instantly pulled him to a singing room in the lost city. Ye Yuning appeared in front of him, holding the guitar and smiling at himself. Ni Ziqiong's sound playing on the piano is another flavor, as if there is a little more innocence and innocence in the once sad tone.

Fan Li's music popped out on his pulsing fingertips. With Ni Ziqiong's accompaniment, after singing this song, Ni Ziqiong clapped her hands.

"It's not a good sound, but there's a feeling. It feels like there's a story in it. ”

"Ye Yuning's story."

"Ye Yuning and your story." Ni Ziqiong added. "Do you think Ye Yu has condensed?"

"It hasn't changed." Fan replied dryly.

"Yo, it seems that your self-healing ability is good, better than me. Remember those dark times. On the one hand, I have to act as a military advisor for Lanpa, and on the other hand, I have to face pressure from the entertainment industry. When my name and song popped up on the streets, gossip bombarded me like a bomb. Experienced musicians are right, they say that I am not experienced enough and need someone to guide me, and some people say that I play big names and slander music, and it will be finished in a few years. At first, I thought that writing and singing seriously was all about a musician, similar to a writer and a painter, it was a problem of feeling, but then I found out that it was wrong, maybe it was really because I was too young and cared too much about how others saw me. At that time, Qin Ziyang did not pity me, but reprimanded me for my cowardice, she said that I didn't dare to abandon the restrictions given to me by the 'ant nest' to fight hard. Because of my friend's departure, I was also depressed, burying myself in the practice room every day, anesthetizing myself with dreams, thinking about my concert every day, and the new song rotted in my stomach, rotten on paper, and stopped in the trash. But after seeing Ye Yuning, I found that my dark days were nothing compared to hers. ”

"I think each of you has a story, just like this song, each one is a story."

"That's right. In 'EFQ', when Ye Yuning hadn't appeared yet, who do you think would sing with Qin Ziyang? ”

"Dancing Meiyan?"

"That's right. Mei Yan is a very good guitarist, but the strange thing is that she doesn't love music, but dance. You know very well her luxurious and erosive life, so her dark days must have something to do with this. She longs for purity more than anyone else, but the darkness she has fallen into is closer to the bottom of society than anyone else. Really, you can't imagine what Mei Yan ever went through before she became Jinke. Before Kidd's goddaughter, she was the kind of girl who was despised and reprimanded by countless people, but she survived and became a 'charming' boss above 10,000 people. ”

"You can afford to dance from the bottom of your heart."

"That's right, because for me, Pan Mingyue can't feel what purity is, but Wu Meiyan knows innocence better than anyone else. Because for a person who has touched the bottom of the darkness, when the pure ashes are annihilated, he naturally understands the meaning of purity. Now she can see everything, not only because of the battlefield experience, life is a more complex battlefield than war, and people who control war may not be able to control life, so many veterans who have retired from the army have chosen to withdraw from life. ”

Fan Li looked back at a special wall in the singing room, on this silver wall, there were some song titles, and if you looked closely, they were all Ni Ziqiong's songs.

"Qin Ziyang said to me back then, you have to stick all your songs on the wall, so that you can see which ones are good and which ones are bad. What people like, and what you like but people don't. Ni Ziqiong explained.

Fan Li saw that in the center of this wall, there was a song he had never seen before, called "Fox".

"I've never heard you sing this before."

"Yes, "Fox" is a song I made for Qin Ziyang, it took about a year, that year was my most depressed year, I only had this song for a whole year, and it has not been sold yet. Because I had a falling out with Qin Ziyang, I fell into confusion. I didn't think about the new album. I think you know what the fox means to Qin Ziyang. ”

"Well, the Nine-Tails Spell Spirit ......" Fan Li thought of what was behind Qin Ziyang and the series of stories it triggered. Grandpa, Ma Qiao, Yuan Yifei, and those innocent girls all died because of the Nine-Tails Curse.

"There is a sad tone in "The Fox", but it is mixed with hope, and I can still see the light at that time, but it is too faint for me to chase it myself." Ni Ziqiong laughed self-deprecatingly. "I once heard an old professor say: what is singing, the philosophical definition of singing is the sound of people crying and laughing, the sound of people crying when they are sad, and the sound of people laughing when they are happy is song, for "Fox". That's the laughter I cry out of, because it brings people out of the shadows. Qin Ziyang once asked Ye Yuning to find her soul with music, I don't know if you can use music to help her find her own direction. ”

"Before I made a decision, Yu Ning wanted to leave." Fan Li said in a low voice. He put down his guitar and leaned back in his chair with a long snort. She said so desperately that she didn't seem to give me room to take a step back, and I couldn't say anything when I looked at her. My language was completely visually suppressed. ”

"It's normal, vision can indeed suppress language, a patient with damaged language areas of the brain. To be able to speak when no one is the mystery of the brain. ”

"So I lost the chance to recover, I think Yu Ning is very confused, she said she wants to go, but where can she go? No matter where she escapes, she can't escape the bond between me and her, because I still care about her, and the relationship will never end. ”

Hearing this, Ni Ziqiong put down her guitar and approached Fan Li.

"You mean, you still care about her, do you?"

Staring at Ni Ziqiong's eyes, Fan Li nodded.

"Really?"

Fan Li nodded again, he didn't know why a smart person like Ni Ziqiong asked twice.

"She used to be or is he now?" Ni Ziqiong continued to ask.

"It depends on which she/he she wants to be. I think love is also respect, I respect Ye Yuning's choice, of course I want her to be that beautiful girl, because my fair lady and gentleman are good, everyone likes beautiful women. But if she wants to take off this mask and become a person through and through, I respect her choice. ”

"Do you think this is the painting skin of Mr. Pu Songling? Yu Ning is Yu Ning, a policewoman is a policewoman, the mask is just an illusory thing, and she takes it off with that beautiful and moving face. Ni Ziqiong sat back in her chair.

"I had been walking for a long time on the other side of the canyon, and I thought that no matter how much you trample the grassland, grass will still grow, grasshoppers will still appear, rabbits will still pass by, and eagles and sheep will still come to feed. People are emotional creatures, and naturally there are emotional setbacks, both material and spiritual, and people always need to welcome the sun after a storm. If Yu Ning is willing, I am willing to help her fix all this and remove this illusory mask for her. ”

"Really?"

"Really." Fan Li said categorically, he stared at the guitar in Ni Ziqiong's hand in a daze, as if he realized something.

"But I don't want to!" There was a sudden thunderclap around him, which frightened Fan Li, and Ni Ziqiong also trembled, almost throwing the guitar to the ground.

The surrounding scenery changed dramatically, the walls stained with posters and song titles gradually disappeared, and a white bed and a man wrapped in bandages appeared next to it, and the thin face with tears streaming down his face. (To be continued......)
