The spotlights in the private room are like butterflies dancing, dancing with the singing of this group of boys and girls and the staggered cups, like a dream, like a floating life.

A boy sang the most popular Ren Xianqi's "The Girl Opposite", which caused a group of girls to complain constantly, and the boys scolded, obviously, his appearance and singing voice are not suitable for this song.

And the girls' favorite songs are "When", "Rain Butterfly", these theme songs that are popular all over the country because of their return to the pearl and the grid, singing the moving lyrics of the mountains and the world, which made the boys present reverie.

Bai Yaolong felt very interesting listening to these "old-fashioned" songs, because he knew that about next year, a prodigy would take his "Nunchuck" and ride "Tornado" to sweep these songs that are still popular into the corner and no one cared about them, and his successive genius works will rule the music world for more than ten years.

"Come on, come on, meet ninety-eight, come on, come on, meet ninety-eight..." A boy roared affectionately on stage, but unfortunately his tattered voice could not control such a difficult high note, and constantly made a ghostly crying noise, which made everyone disgusted.

The fat man next to him finally couldn't help but shouted: "Dead monkey, ninety-eight of NMB, stop singing, it's too ugly, come down, let the fat man show you a hand." ”

After speaking, regardless of the dissatisfaction of the boy called "Dead Monkey", he went up directly and pinched off his "Meet in 1998", grabbed the microphone and didn't forget to kick the other party, but the "Dead Monkey" was not angry, but echoed: "Okay, fat brother, what are you singing, I'll give you some, it's okay if you sing well, return the microphone to your buddy if you can't sing well, and buddy will give you another song "Heart Like a Knife"

Guo Fatzi waved his hand and said: ", your voice is the same as a ghost, you speak like a knife, and you have a face to sing "Heart Like a Knife", and give the master a "Sea and Sky", so that you can see the strength of the fat man." ”

The people in the audience were also amused by the two, and the "dead monkey" saw that the girls were amused by her, and they seemed very proud, and ordered a song "Sea and Sky" to Guo Fatzi. With the sound of background sound, Guo Pang did not forget to set off the atmosphere and shouted: "Where is the applause? ”

The people in the audience also admired their faces, and the uneven applause rang out one after another, and some people didn't forget to shout: Fat brother is mighty!

"Just licked me, cold panty blood drifted through.

Dangling the nest of the finch soared far away.

….

The original mother, I don't give relaxation and love my friends

The cliff is afraid that there will be a hole in the sky, oh oh

…”

I have to say that the fat man's voice has a good grasp of the high and low tones, and all the men and women are immersed in his heroic and passionate singing, but Bai Yaolong listened to his not very good Hong Kong and Taiwan accent, but he almost squirted out the beer in his mouth several times.

As he finished, everyone still applauded, Guo Fatzi arched his fist at everyone, and did not forget to demonstrate to the "monkey": "Monkey, do you accept it?" ”

The monkey was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "How can you not accept it, or I will sing a song to you again for the fat brother?" ”

The fat man said: "Go, don't be disgusting and fat, what the fat man wants to conquer is the sea of stars, but it's not you ugly man!" ”

His ridicule caused a burst of laughter, but he looked serious, like a professional host, grasping the rhythm.

He patted the microphone and continued: "Brothers and sisters, everyone knows that Brother Long is going to go on a new journey tomorrow, we are here to wish him all the best, and the king will return as soon as possible, come, the next song, we will hand it to Brother Long, let him sing a song for us!" ”

"Okay, Brother Long, let's have a song!" The people below followed Guo Fatzi's words and coaxed.

Listening to the coaxing of everyone, Bai Yaolong was not stage frightened, he put down the wine bottle in his hand, walked quickly to the stage, took the microphone in Guo Fatzi's hand, and looked at the forty or fifty pairs of eyes below looking at him, but he didn't feel nervous at all, because at this moment, it was like the scene when he held many annual meetings in the company in the future, and he was also holding the microphone like this, standing in front of everyone with his head held high.

Only this time, what he wants to publish is no longer a boring year-end summary and company planning, but to sing a new chapter of his life.

A girl next to the singing table saw that Bai Yaolong was ready, and asked loudly: "Yaolong, what do you want to sing, I'll give you something." ”

Bai Yaolong cleared his throat, and his mind came to mind these friends who went their separate ways in his previous life, they were either busy making a living, or chasing dreams, or sinking into the world, no matter what happened now, in the end, most of them became dull, and this life was like a flower, and it was like a dream

Thinking of this, a song from his heart quickly appeared in his mind, perhaps this song is the best expression of his feelings at this moment.

"No need to order, I'll sing a cappella."

"Cappella, this.." Hearing him say that he wanted to sing a cappella, the people in the audience were a little surprised, who would go to the karaoke hall and not sing to the music.

But Bai Yaolong didn't care about everyone's reaction, and continued to nod and said: "Yes, a cappella, because I want to sing a song that everyone hasn't heard before, and thank you for taking care of me in the past few years, okay, I'll start!" ”

His undoubted tone didn't let the girl continue to ask, and everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what kind of song it was, which they had not heard in their group of trend-chasing flowers of the motherland.

Bai Yaolong closed his eyes, his lips approached the microphone, he also wanted to use the strength of wine to sing the joy of returning to youth and the inexplicable melancholy.

"That's the person I love day and night, how do I express it,

Will she accept me? Maybe I'll never say that to him,

I am destined to wander the world, how can I have concerns,

Dreams are always out of reach, should you give up,

It's the rainy season when the flowers bloom and fall, where are you in spring,

Youth is like a rushing river, and it is too late to say goodbye if you don't come back,

…，

The one that accompanied me at that time, do you remember the story here,

If there is a tomorrow, bless you dear. ”

Bai Yaolong can't study, but he has a good talent in music.

In his previous life, he pursued Tang Sirong, and finally won Tang Sirong's heart with a guitar and a song "Because of Love".

So although there is no background music, it does not prevent him from singing the feeling of celebrating youth and dreams contained in this song.

Especially he, a prodigal son who has experienced the glitz of his previous life, is just right in controlling this song.

Sure enough, after he finished singing affectionately, the boys and girls at the scene instantly froze.

In the era of 2001, it was mainly the vigorous Hong Kong and Taiwan love songs, and this kind of song that looked back on dreams and showed a ruined life was indeed the first time that this group of men and women heard it.

The lyrics are mixed with feelings about dreams, love and life, although they are ignorant, but they can more or less understand these feelings, even if they can't understand it, the curiosity about never hearing this song is enough to amaze them for a while.

About three or four seconds later, someone reacted and asked him what the name of this song was, and Bai Yaolong had no intention of usurping other people's copyrights, and truthfully told everyone that the name of this song was "Old Boy".

…

The party lasted until half past four in the afternoon, and many boys were coaxed to continue to play in the park, but most of the girls said that they had to go home because of the strict management of the family, and without the participation of the girls, most of the boys also said that they were not interested.

Everyone said goodbye to Bai Yaolong one by one, and said a lot of blessings, and Bai Yaolong also said goodbye to them one by one, which may be caused by his youthful body, or it may be this innocent feeling, which makes him also a little sad as a young man.

In the end, he hugged Guo Fatzi, Zhao Shuo, Lu Xuefei, and Zhang Dongliang, and his best buddies, exchanged cherishes and farewells, and then embarked on their own way home.

After sending everyone away, Bai Yaolong tried his best to recall the general situation of the city at this time, and probably remembered that the karaoke hall was about 15 minutes away from his home by bus, so he did not choose to take the car, but walked to his home on foot.

The sun was scorching at half-past four, but he felt comfortable in the sun, because the heat of the sun made him feel real, and let him know that he now had the tremendous energy to turn things around.

Along the way, he passed through the criss-crossing of low houses, crossed the rows of tall and giant-like yellow cypress trees (street trees) unique to Yuqing City, and came to the No. 4 Bridge in Shangjiao District, Yuqing City.

Standing on this bridge, he could see the Cuiyun Lake below, the waves in the lake were rippling, sparkling, and very beautiful.

He had dreamed many times of taking Xu Wenmin here after graduation, fantasizing about the two snuggling up to each other and walking hand in hand by the lake.

It's a pity that because of his naivety at the time, he didn't grasp Yiren, and now he has returned to this world from the new, and he doesn't know if he can realize this wish and regain his old dream.

In the same way, he was thinking about how he could hide his unreasonable excitement when he met his young parents, especially his father, who had been dead for almost a decade in the world.

In this way, while recalling his youthful memories of his previous time, he felt this friendly and somewhat strange city, so he put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked towards his home.

After walking for about thirty-five minutes, he came to an old residential building, looking at the roast goose shop and fruit stall on the street, Bai Yaolong knew that he was not going the wrong way, this is where he lived in junior high school, an old-fashioned residential building with no elevator, no exterior wall decoration, and no community gate.

And he still remembers how nostalgic it was when he bought half a roast goose and a piece of watermelon for dinner while his parents were not at home.

"That's right, this is it, I think it's the fourth floor."

Bai Yaolong muttered, he remembered the floor on the fourth floor very clearly, because his family bought almost all the houses on the fourth floor later.

In his father's words, their family works to earn money, and "four" represents "things", which means that there is something to do in the four seasons.

Of course, Bai Yaolong is not too superstitious about his father's unconventionality, but this set of rhetoric was quite pretending to be B at that time.

He walked into the building, and the dimly lit corridors and walls covered with small advertisements made him feel particularly intimate, as if he was saying to him: Welcome back.

He went up to the fourth floor in one breath, this healthy and strong body was like a high-power engine, and he didn't let him kick it, he not only felt the beauty and vitality of youth.

He touched the key in his trouser pocket, but in the end he didn't take it out, because he felt his left hand holding the key tremble, and he wanted a real "homecoming", a "homecoming" where his parents opened the door to a new life for him.

"Knock Knock"

"Who?" There was a middle-aged woman's voice inside, Bai Yaolong was very familiar with this voice, it was the loving mother who had been angry and scolded by his father for a long time, "a loving mother is a loser", and his mother used to.

Hearing this familiar voice, Bai Yaolong was not very excited, because although his mother was slowly aging in his previous life, he always accompanied him.

But when the mother said, "Lao Bai, you go and open the door, I'm washing the vegetables!" Bai Yaolong could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and his tears began to fall uncontrollably.

The old-fashioned security door creaked, and a tall, square-faced, middle-aged man with a dignified face opened the door.

He looked very healthy, and he did not have the painful face of the rescue after the onset of cancer, which was Bai Yaolong's father, Bai Junhua, who had already left him in his previous life.

It is often said that the daughter is the father's little padded jacket, and the son is the father's debtor, and the relationship between Bai Yaolong and his father Bai Junhua is undoubtedly the best example to prove this sentence.

In his previous life, there were countless examples of Bai Junhua almost being angry with Bai Yaolong, and Bai Yaolong was also tired of this father who was beaten or scolded, but he really understood the hard work of being a parent when he became an adult.

After Bai Junhua opened the door to see that it was Bai Yaolong, he didn't take a closer look at the tears on his face, and after opening the door, his face immediately sank and turned his head and said: "You still know what to know when you come back, in addition to fooling around with those fox friends and dog friends one day!" ”

Bai Yaolong was excited when he heard this scolding, how many days and nights he hoped that his father would come back to life and scold him, even if he was willing to beat him half to death again.

How he wished that the fierce father in his memory would come back and talk to him, tell him what to do next, and guide him how to face the next night.

"Dad!" Bai Yaolong looked at this back, he seemed to understand the author's feelings in the text "Back", he wiped a handful of tears, tried to pretend that he was not so excited, and plucked up the courage to say: "Dad, I was wrong, I'm back!" ”

This sentence "I was wrong" seemed to hit Bai Junhua's ear drum like a heavy hammer, making him stop his figure, he turned his head to look at this stubborn son, and asked with some disbelief: "What did you just say?" ”

His turn finally allowed Bai Yaolong to see his face clearly, his father was still in the prime of life at this time, and his burly body and unsmiling facial features were showing his majesty as the head of the family, which made Bai Yaolong feel both excited and happy.

He thought about the bastard things he had done in his previous life, and then thought back to his father's anxiety before leaving, his legs only felt weak, he fell to his knees, and cried again: "Dad, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I won't make you angry anymore..."

Bai Junhua was stunned by this sudden scene, and his mother, who was washing vegetables inside, hurriedly ran out when she heard the movement outside, and saw Bai Yaolong kneeling and asked, "What are you two doing?" ”

The so-called son Mo Ruo's father, Bai Junhua is too familiar with his son, although he has fought many times, but he never admits his mistakes like a stubborn cow, even if he admits his mistakes, it is perfunctory, and now he takes the initiative to admit his mistakes and cries bitterly, how not to surprise him.

Seeing that the father and son did not speak, seeing that the son was still kneeling in pain, it was also a loving mother's heart, and she hurriedly pulled Bai Yaolong up and yelled at Bai Junhua: "Fight, fight, fight, you only know how to fight in a day, and you just came back to fight, is there such an education as you, you can become a talent by beating, you can kill him." ”

Bai Junhua came back to his senses when he heard this, but he ignored his mother's words, looked at Bai Yaolong and said, "You say it again!" ”

Bai Yaolong wiped away a handful of tears again, held his head high and said: "Dad, my son is wrong, I will never let you worry about it anymore, I will definitely change my mind and start anew!" ”

Zeng Hui didn't know why, but he was very happy to see that his son knew his mistakes and could change them, and said: "Okay, Xiaolong, finally sensible, hurry, don't leave your father, come and wash your hands first, and you can eat immediately." ”

Bai Yaolong looked at his father's gaze, but he didn't dodge, he thought that his father would be moved to tears, but he didn't want his father to reply angrily: "You don't pretend to be pitiful, I tell you, even if you beg the king of heaven now, you can't change your decision to go to Baijing, your mother has already packed your luggage for you, you will roll me to Baijing early tomorrow morning, be a good man!" “

Father's words made Bai Yaolong cry and laugh, he never thought that seeing his dreaming relatives again would be such a scene.
