After the lottery redemption process was completed, Su Chengyi stood on the side of the endless street and waited for the bus.

It was the morning rush hour, and I waited for a full 10 minutes before the car came.

After getting in the car, when he was still crowded by the crowd and his feet were almost off the ground, Su Chengyi realized in hindsight, is there a possibility that he doesn't need to save so much now?

It seems that he is more or less a rich man.

The mobile phone in his pocket kept vibrating, and Su Chengyi took it out with great difficulty, and the caller ID was a name that he didn't expect at all.

"Hey, hello."

The car was noisy, Su Chengyi covered the earpiece and said in a low voice.

"Hello, Chengyi. I'm Li Qingshan, congratulations on your good results in science. ”

Li Lao's gentle voice came from the other end.

Su Chengyi was a little surprised for a while, because he thought that the phone number that Li Lao gave him at that time was an assistant or a staff member, but he didn't expect that it was really him who was using it.

"Ah, thank you."

"Do you have time today? I'll have lunch in a moment. ”

Lunch? Okay, there's time. ”

Although it is a little unclear, everyone in Chinese music like Li Lao is a big man with a head and a face everywhere, and it is always good to have more contact.

After Su Chengyi agreed to come down, he got off the train at the next stop, and after Li Lao asked for the address, he said that he would send a car to pick him up.

Only two minutes later, a very familiar black car suddenly braked sharply and stopped next to him.

It's the Lincoln Navigator.

The fast-spinning wheels rolled up the dust on the side of the road, and Su Chengyi immediately took two steps back.

The driver rolled down the window without hesitation and greeted him with big teeth.

"Smash!"

Su Chengyi coughed twice and nodded in response.

"Chengyi!"

At this time, Zhao Meng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also leaned out to greet him, smiling kindly.

Su Zelang took off his sunglasses and waved him to come closer and speak.

"Where is this going? Get in the car, Dad will send you over.

Why didn't you answer your phone in the past two days? You're done with the college entrance examination, Dad has to take you out to play."

Su Chengyi really didn't mean not to take it, but he just missed the opportunity, he either went to take a bath or was reading a book.

After he answered truthfully, Su Zelang looked incredulous.

"What books are you reading after you've finished the college entrance examination?"

Su Chengyi was noncommittal and did not answer.

He was meant to be reading a book.

The car was parked for too long, and Su Xiaoxue in the back row was impatient and yelled:

"Hurry up!"

Su Zelang said, "Okay, let's go", while still looking at Su Chengyi and asking:

"Son, are you going to the amusement park?"

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face was vaguely sneering.

Su Zelang was silent for a moment, realizing that he had never taken Su Chengyi to the amusement park when he was a child, and now that he was almost an adult, he asked like this.

"Chengyi, if you have time, how about coming home to help my sister with her homework?"

Of course, Zhao Meng has also seen a lot of news about the top science student during this time, and asked with a smile.

Su Xiaoxue immediately began to scream in protest.

Su Chengyi smiled slightly, and replied slowly:

"My time is expensive right now."

“.”

Zhao Meng was choked for a moment, and the smile on his face became a little stiff.

When the scene was a little awkward, a Hongqi H7 slowly stopped on the side of the road.

"The car that picked me up is here, bye-bye."

Su Chengyi waved his hand, didn't look back, and walked straight over.

The moment I opened the car door, I was a little surprised, I didn't expect that Li Lao was already in the car, and it was still early before lunch.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

Li Lao has not changed much from the last school anniversary, and he is still smiling.

The two shook hands briefly and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Li Lao may have seen his doubts and explained:

"It's still early, I want you to accompany me to a place."

Su Chengyi nodded, and didn't ask where he was going, so Li Lao didn't explain.

As the scenery outside the car changed, the closer he got to his destination, the more serious Li Lao's expression became.

In the end, there was no smile left.

Su Chengyi didn't even need to look out the window, just felt the atmosphere in the car, and roughly guessed where he was going.

So his heart became heavy.

After getting out of the car, Su Chengyi found that Li Lao was dressed very formally today, wearing a black Mao suit.

I have the impression that he didn't even wear such a formal dress when he won the Best Composition award.

Because this was criticized by the unscrupulous media at the time, the newspaper headline was "Composer Li Qingshan is proud of his talent and has no respect for the organizers".

The driver took out a bundle of packaged chrysanthemums from the trunk and handed it to Li Lao with both hands.

Su Chengyi took the lead and raised his hand to signal that he could go.

Li Lao's frozen expression relaxed a little, and he walked in with a smile.

Today is a working day, and it is not a holiday to pay tribute to the deceased.

So the whole cemetery was deserted, and the two walked all the way, only to hear the chirping of birds.

When he finally walked to the tombstone engraved with the words "Yang Zhiyuan", Su Chengyi slowly lowered his head.

He never dared to look at the black-and-white photographs on the tombstones.

The stele was carefully wiped and the surroundings were cleaned, apparently from time to time.

After his grandfather's death, Su Chengyi rarely came here.

After a person dies, if you don't think about it, it will be as if he is still alive in your memory, vivid and real.

But standing in front of such a solid tombstone, all illusions will be shattered.

You can only face the reality of the separation between heaven and man.

At this time, someone gently patted his shoulder, Su Chengyi turned his head, and saw Li Lao smile and say:

"Put the flowers down."

Only then did Su Chengyi react, he had just unconsciously used force by his subordinates, and the outer packaging of the flowers was about to be torn.

Squat down and carefully set it up.

The chrysanthemums bloom well, bringing a touch of color to the gray-toned stele.

Elder Li sighed leisurely behind him, and slowly spoke:

"In the past, people have taken the yellow crane to go, and the yellow crane tower is vacant here."

The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are empty for thousands of years.

Su Chengyi lowered his head, only to feel more uncomfortable in his heart.

"Zhiyuan now knows that his grandson is so good now, and when we meet on Huangquan Road, I don't know how long I have to brag in front of me."

Elder Li stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull him up and stand up straight.

Su Chengyi shook his head and didn't speak.

He didn't think he was good enough to make his grandfather proud, but his grandfather had always said that since he was a child.

"At your age, Zhiyuan is much more extroverted than you. If he wins the championship, he will probably have to let the whole world know before he stops. ”

Li Lao smiled and deliberately said something light.

"Does Chengyi come here often?"

"Very little."

Su Chengyi replied truthfully.

Li Lao nodded, obviously knowing why.

"At first, I didn't dare to come. But I couldn't sleep all night during that time, as if something urged me to come.

I think Zhiyuan probably blamed me, so I came here to sit here for a night and talked to myself all night. ”

"Why are you in such a hurry? I've asked him this question dozens or hundreds of times.

The last time I saw him before he fell ill was arguing.

He was not satisfied with the song I wrote, so I changed it back and forth according to him, and it was really popular, and both of them were in a bad mood.

It was a theme song for a game company, and you probably played it. ”

Su Chengyi listened carefully and nodded.

As soon as Li Lao said this, he immediately thought of the name of that song.

"Zhiyuan's personality is more serious, and he is most annoyed by the so-called popular market, commercialization, and the like.

I said that this is a song from someone's game, and it must be the most important thing to listen to.

In the end, he said that I was really utilitarian, and I didn't have the basic level of a composer in my eyes.

I left the next sentence, live to this age, and still have this temperament, you see who can stand you, and then slammed the door and left. ”

"I didn't expect that to be the last thing I said to him.

He fell ill so suddenly that by the time I arrived at the hospital, he was unconscious.

It was also very sudden, and I didn't catch up with the last time he was awake, and I didn't see him for the last time.

I've known each other for decades, and I haven't even said a formal goodbye. ”

When Li Lao said the end, he would stop and sigh from time to time.

Su Chengyi recalled the day when he ran to the hospital with his schoolbag, but he also didn't catch up.

The pungent smell of disinfectant water, the suppressed cry of the mother in the ward, and the busy doctors and nurses wearing white cloths.

From then on, his parents quarreled more and more, and he became more and more reticent.

He didn't remember if he saw Li Lao in the hospital that day, because the moment he realized it was too late, he turned around and fled from the hospital.

I always feel that it is difficult to breathe, and if I stay for one second longer, I will suffocate.

And that's how it feels now.

"Chengyi."

Li Lao patted him lightly on the shoulder again, with a sense of comfort.

"Zhiyuan has told me many times that you are a good boy and have a bright future, so let me take care of you more.

But since his death, it has been difficult for me to see you again. Because a lot of times, you are too similar to him when he was younger.

Seeing things and thinking about people. ”

"Now that you're an adult, I can almost see how bright the road ahead of you is.

You don't need anyone's attention to succeed.

But I still have to formally tell you in front of Zhiyuan, whether it is in work or life in the future, if there is anything I can help with, just ask.

is still the same sentence, to be able to cooperate with you, or to help you, is Li's greatest luck. ”

"When we meet on the Huangquan Road like this, take it out as a shield, and maybe we can take two sentences of training from him."

After making such a promise every word, the two of them had a relaxed lunch.

Li Lao talked about some interesting stories when he was young, the stories behind the scenes of familiar tracks, and even gossip in the entertainment industry.

One day the king and the queen got back together, and a very famous model couple was actually a fake marriage

Su Chengyi couldn't help but think that if Han Bing was here, he would probably die of excitement.

Before leaving, Li Lao said earnestly:

"I know that the situation in your family is not so ordinary, but Chengyi, you must cherish the relatives who are still in front of you."

It is estimated that he saw the scene of the "confrontation" between himself and Su Zelang's family.

But it can't be said to be a confrontation, Su Cheng thought, he has almost reconciled with himself during this period of time.

If today's events had happened during the time when he had just been reborn, he would have felt very angry.

It's just that Su Zelang and Yang Liu are still very awkward about each other.

It is the two of them who need to be reconciled.

Of course, it doesn't mean the reconciliation of remarriage.

Rather, it is the reconciliation of the realization that "love and hate are gone, please look forward".

On the way home, Su Chengyi searched for the song mentioned by Li Lao on the playback software, and he and his grandfather quarreled over it.

There are only a few more than 500 comments, and under the name Li Qingshan, this one is obviously relatively unpopular.

"Full of Snow", released half a month after my grandfather's death.

The style of the song is more classical, the first half of the song is eloquent, and the climax of the song will be reached after two minutes.

In the end, according to his grandfather's wishes, Li Lao changed to a less commercial classical repertoire.

In fact, as he thought, such a change made this song an unpopular song.

Halfway through the progress bar, two minutes later, the real protagonist Erhu joins.

The melody suddenly becomes tragic and mournful, as if the protagonist has achieved fame after reading thousands of sails, seemingly having everything, but having nothing.

In the end, the picture freezes on his solitary feet under the heavy snow.

It's like eating all the birds and throwing them into the forest, and the white land is really clean.

To Su Chengyi's surprise, the comment was actually a good review.

"My personal favorite is this one, it's so good."

"If it's ugly, I can only send you seven big characters - the boar can't eat fine chaff."

"I must listen to this song when I am young, no matter how warm the passage is, I will want to cry."

"After listening to this song, I am once again sure that Mr. Aoyama is the greatest composer of this century."

So, is this actually right on behalf of my grandfather's insistence?

Although commercialization can make quick money, in the end, it will always be those works that stick to their original intentions and do not forget their original intentions.

I didn't take a taxi, so I listened to the song and went home.

Walking up the dusty old staircase, the dust refracted the mottled pillars of light.

Most of the neighbors at this point were taking a nap, and he deliberately slowed down his pace to avoid making too much noise to disturb his dreams.

There was no shortage of things in the box of milk and bread at the door, and it seemed that the little witch had not been here for a few days.

Su Chengyi gently locked the door with his backhand.

When I went out in the morning, I forgot to turn off the computer, and the screen was always on.

On the table is a copy of The Art of Game Design.

Su Chengyi walked over and looked at the document opened on the computer screen, which already had thousands of words.

Most of them are reborn, some plans and designs for games that will make a lot of money in the future.

But at this moment, he remembered this passage in his mind.

"I've shaken the most elaborate six-sided dice and begged fate for mercy, I've thrown cocktails called madness to try to stop an apocalypse, I've seen incredible life silently walk the sea, I've heard addicts dance all night under the protection of the airwaves, I've met decent vampires, mediocre syndicates and drunkards, betrayal and amnesia. Rusty bullets in the dust, snow that hasn't melted in March, all these unsolved cases will be eaten away by a 2mm black hole, just like our cursed reality. ”

The original content in the document was completely deleted, and Su Chengyi tapped on the keyboard and re-entered five words.
