Chapter 9: Is It Really Her?
I said sorry to Tang Hui, left my contact information and left the café.
On the way to the ancient city, I called Shen Ai, but she didn't answer, I don't know if she was hiding from the city management or angry with me, in short, she just didn't answer the phone.
I had no choice but to ask the taxi driver to drop me off at the gate of Fraternity, get out of the car and walk inside.
The mobile phone rang suddenly, I thought it was Shen Ai calling, I took out the mobile phone to see, but I haven't contacted the old party for a long time, I don't know what he called for, but there is absolutely nothing good about calling.
If there's a gap between us, it's because of my mother's death.
Answering the phone, I asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”
"Well, that's the case, your mother has been dead for so many years, well, it's not very convenient for me to live alone, so ......"
"So what, let's just say it, I'm pretty busy right now."
"Your Aunt Li and I are getting married, can you come back to our wedding?"
"I have no objection to you getting married, but I won't go back, and don't call me in the future." With that, I hung up the phone, and no matter what the old party said on the phone, I wouldn't go back to their wedding anyway.
He took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and fumbled through his pocket, only to find that the lighter was missing, presumably in a coffee shop.
In desperation, I had to go to the convenience store next to it, buy a lighter, light it and take a puff.
In a trance, I seemed to see a familiar figure, and that figure was so similar to Ye Ke.
"Ye Ke!"
I shouted and ran towards the figure, but when I reached the intersection, I found that the figure had disappeared into the street, and there was no trace of it.
I stood still, a little lost, was it really just my own eyes?
Just as I was immersed in this melancholy mood, Shen Ai stopped in front of me on an electric car, looked at me and mocked: "Who should I be, it turns out to be Young Master Fang, what's the matter, aren't you supposed to be accompanying your friend, what are you doing here?" ”
I ignored Shen Ai's taunts, and kept looking at both sides of the street, hoping to see the figure similar to Ye Ke, but I found nothing.
Shen Ai saw that I ignored her, and the arrogance just now disappeared, replaced by a worried face, and she asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I shook my head, "It's okay, you're sold out?" ”
"No, it's all in the back seat of an electric car, and I only sold five pieces this afternoon, which is really not for me." Shen Ai muttered.
"Life is like this, there is no smooth sailing, take your time."
"You're really comforting."
Shen Ai gave me a blank look, continued to ride her electric car, and began to fight around selling her national costumes.
And I was like a homeless man, wandering aimlessly on the street, hoping to meet the figure just now, but unfortunately my luck was not good, I turned the whole street, but I didn't meet that figure, I couldn't help but sigh that fate tricked me, maybe I was really wrong.
As I walked, I saw a stage set up in front of me, with the words "resonance" written on it, and the host introduced the content of the event, which was already full of people.
Seeing so many people, I couldn't help but be curious, so I walked over.
Listening to the introduction of the stage host, I learned that this is a singing competition, the first place is a prize of 20,000 yuan, the last place is 1,000 yuan, and the second place is 2,000 yuan.
After the host finished speaking, I was about to leave, but I didn't want Shen Ai to appear at the registration office, I knew that she went to this event to pay off the money she owed me, and I couldn't help but sweat for her, I don't know what her singing level is, wouldn't it be a shame if she smashes her singing?
But after all, I didn't leave, but followed behind and went to register, after all, my singing level is still okay, if my singing can resonate with the audience, then I am the first.
After registering, I sat on the steps next to me and smoked a cigarette, waiting for the start of the competition, I suddenly remembered the scene of the competition with Ye Ke in the campus music festival, I played the guitar and sang the song "When love is a thing of the past" with Ye Ke, at that moment, I seemed to return to the past, as if I had returned to that summer.
"Brother, do you have any cigarettes?" One with short braids and a guitar on his back bumped me with his elbow and said with a smile.
"Yes." As I spoke, I took out my cigarette and threw it to the pigtailed man, he took the cigarette and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then lit the cigarette and smoked it, and asked, "Dude, thank you, what do you call it?" ”
"Fang Le, what about you?"
"Just call me Ah Jun, if you like to listen to music, you can go to GALA and July 8th Bar to find me, I'll invite you to drink."
"Okay, I'll go to the event after I participate in this event."
"OK, then I'll go first."
Jun patted me on the shoulder and left.
As the applause ended, it was Shen Ai's turn to perform on stage, this was the first time I heard her sing since I met her, and I couldn't help but get nervous, not only staring at the stage, but also paying attention to the expressions of the people around me.
"I'm bringing you a song 'SpongeBob SquarePants' and I hope you can enjoy it."
SpongeBob SquarePants, I have heard this song, it was written and composed by Wang Sulong, and sung by Brother Echo, but I didn't expect Shen Ai to like this song too, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"I like your cold attitude, in the face of my little tricks, I like you to talk quickly and accompany you to go shopping and buy clothes, I like your little fool, I want to lead you across the road, you don't have to walk too many maps, the next stop is called happiness......"
Shen Ai sang softly in a child's voice, and at first the audience was not cold, but gradually, the audience was attracted by Shen Ai's childish voice.
"What a sweet voice, singing so well."
"yes, this song is so cute."
……
As Shen Ai's voice fell, there was warm applause from the audience, accompanied by bursts of cheers, and someone asked her to do another song, but Shen Ai didn't continue to sing, handed back the microphone to the host, walked off the stage, and walked towards me.
"How about it, Fang Le, I'm okay singing, right?"
"I really didn't see that you still have such a childlike side." I quipped.
"I'm a lively and lovely girl, you just don't know." Shen Ai said proudly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I don't see it." I hurriedly echoed.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Shen Edesser snorted.
I smiled, didn't pay attention to Shen Ai's words, and looked at the game on the stage.
