The elegantly decorated café is filled with soothing music. The waiter brought two cups of coffee, gently placed them on the table, did not make a sound, and then quietly left, as if he did not want to disturb the peaceful atmosphere.

Chen Bing took a sip of coffee and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking?"

"Oh, I just think it's pretty good. ”

Chen Bing smiled slightly: "This song is average, compared with the one you made, brother, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Bai Shuo didn't answer, just smiled awkwardly.

"Well, brother, did you really give me that song?"

"What I've said can be false. Well, but ......"

"But what?" asked Chen Bing, a little nervous.

"Your new album better be faster. Bai Shuo said. Copying someone else's stuff is inevitably a little worried, although maybe his worries don't exist.

Chen Bing smiled knowingly and said, "Oh, yes, it should be released soon, after all, it has been delayed for too long."

After being quiet for a while, Chen Bing thought of something, and asked excitedly: "Brother, tell me quickly, how did you find me?"

"It seems that I should have a question to ask you, why do you have so many questions?" Bai Shuo smiled lightly, but now he didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask questions, as long as Chen Bing was still in front of him, he seemed to have a peace of mind in his heart, and those questions were no longer important.

"No, you say it first."

Bai Shuo stirred the coffee, thought for a while, and said, "I called the police, and the police helped me get you." ”

Chen Bing was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "No, you call the police! You call the police and say what's wrong with me?" she obviously didn't believe it.

"I called the police and said you stole my stuff".

"What?!" Chen Bing shouted in surprise, then reacted a little gaffe, looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "You dare to wronged me, what did I steal from you?"

"You stole my heart. Bai Shuo said with a wicked smile.

Chen Bing's face turned red, he looked left and right again, kicked Bai Shuo fiercely under his feet, and then lowered his head shyly.

"May I ask you a question?" Bai Shuo asked after a while.

Chen Bing nodded.

"Is that still the same question, have we seen it before?"

Chen Bing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Probably not, I have never been to Bashu Province before." Brother, have you ever been to Chang'an?"

Bai Shuo shook his head, and suddenly asked, "Do you have a sister, about ten years younger than you." ”

Chen Bing looked at Bai Shuo, blinked, and finally shook his head.

Bai Shuo sighed, but he still wanted to find more clues: "Then can you tell me about you?"

Chen Bing said with a slight recall. "I grew up in Chang'an, and since I came to the imperial capital five years ago to study, I've been here almost all the time, except for the occasional trip back to my hometown. ”

"Can you be more detailed?"

"Brother, wouldn't you be a policeman, is this an investigation of the household registration?" Chen Bing asked with a smile.

Bai Shuo knew that this was a bit abrupt, so he had to explain to Chen Bing: "Please believe me, I don't have any malicious intentions, and I don't mean anything else. It's just that I came across some things a while ago that are important to me, and some of these puzzles might take some inspiration from you. For the time being, I can't tell you about it, but I may have the opportunity to tell you about it later, and I'm not entirely sure that you're really helpful to me, so ...... I don't know what to say......"

"Well, well, I trust you. I just don't know if I can help you." Subsequently, Chen Bing slowly told Bai Shuo about his experience:

Chen Bing will be 24 years old in a few months, and he seems to be a little older than Bai Shuo. Chen Bing was born in a scholarly family in Chang'an, his great-grandfather was a famous master of Chinese culture, and he was once received by relevant leaders of China. My grandfather also inherited the cultural heritage of the family, and devoted his life to the study of Chinese culture, but unfortunately more than 30 years ago, he was treated unfairly and was charged with trumped-up charges, and finally my grandfather couldn't stand the torture and died of depression. Chen Bing's father is a hard-working and strong man, his father has been influenced by the family since he was a child, and he also loves traditional Chinese culture, and also has a strong interest in archaeology and excavation. My father was not yet 20 years old when his grandfather died, but he was not intimidated by the difficulties of the time, but carried on the family legacy, protecting most of the family's treasures in the midst of the chaos. After his grandfather's reputation was restored, his father donated the cultural relics he had protected to the country, and his father was also arranged to work in the Chang'an Museum and met Chen Bing's mother in the museum, and gave birth to Chen Bing a few years later. Chen Bing's mother is very beautiful, and Chen Bing's appearance mostly inherits her mother's advantages. Those years should be the happiest years for Chen Bing's father, not only the family is happy, but also the work is doing what he loves. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and when Chen Bing was only 2 years old, his mother fell ill and died. After that, Chen Bing and his father depended on each other, and his father was both a father and a mother, and he took Chen Bing with him whether he was working or on a business trip. In his spare time, his father told Chen Bing archaeological stories, taught Chen Bing to read and even taught Chen Bing to know antique cultural relics. Later, Chen Bing grew up and needed to go to school. My father had no choice, so when he was on a business trip, he had to let Chen Bing stay at home alone and let the female colleagues in the unit take care of him occasionally. So Chen Bing learned to cook, laundry, tidy up the house at the age of 6, and learned to live alone. Because my father often had to lead a team on a business trip to archaeological excavations or organize the protection of cultural relics in various places. Chen Bing is alone at home most of the time, and when he is bored, he reads the books left by his father at home, and gradually has a strong interest in the traditional culture of China, whether it is classical musical instruments, poetry and songs, ancient costumes and Hanfu have a deep study. This continued until 10 years ago, when his father brought back a boy who was said to have been found in the field and was dying of hunger, and his father saved his life and took him with him. Later, I learned that the boy was an orphan, who grew up in Wudang Mountain and learned martial arts with Taoist priests for several years. Later, because he violated the rules of Guanli, his master could not continue to keep him, so he let him go down the mountain to fend for himself. After going down the mountain, he was jealous and hateful, and he loved to fight and hold grievances, but he offended people and had to hide in the mountains. He had been wounded a few more times, and he was so hungry that he fainted in a wilderness.

This boy is five years older than Chen Bing, and since that day the boy has become a member of the family, and he has followed Chen's father to work in the museum, working as a security guard and doing chores, and Chen Bing also has an older brother. Later, the boy grew bigger and bigger, and grew black and strong, so everyone called him Kuroko. In the absence of Chen's father, Kuroko became Chenbing's protector, and Chenbing finally experienced the happiness of being taken care of.

Chen Bing was already very beautiful when he was in high school, and once a group of school thugs fell in love with Chen Bing, constantly harassed Chen Bing, and even intercepted Chen Bing on the way home. After Kuroko knew, he picked up Chen Bing to school on time every day, and finally after a night of self-study, the gang of thugs couldn't help but stop them and wanted to challenge Kuroko. As a result, the sunspots hit six of them, and two of them were beaten to broken bones, so no one in the school dared to hit Chen Bing's idea anymore.

Later, due to Chen Bing's excellent grades and musical talent, he was admitted to the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music. And Heizi resigned from his job at the Chang'an Museum and accompanied Chen Bing to the imperial capital. With a tenacity, Kuroko found a security job at the conservatory where Chen Bing studied, and continued to serve as Chen Bing's guard.

The culture of the imperial capital is very prosperous, and there are many opportunities in the music industry. During Chen Bing's time at the Conservatory, because of his love for music, he also participated in many music activities, and in a well-known music competition in the circle, Chen Bing won the second place, and it was also in this event that he met Nie Dong, who only won the sixth place in this competition. However, Nie Dong told Chen Bing that he felt that Chen Bing was worthy of the name of the first, but the organizers of these events often had some insider information, and it was good to be second. Later, I also learned that Nie Dong and Chen Bing were alumni, three years older than Chen Bing, and the two gradually became friends.

Nie Dong is also a very talented musician, and his dream is to become a top singer and musician. At the same time, Nie Dong is still a rich second generation, his father is the owner of a large enterprise in the imperial capital, although it is not as good as those famous enterprises, but he can gain a foothold in the imperial capital or still have a certain amount of power. After graduating more than three years ago, Nie Dong relied on his father's funding to open a music studio, and then devoted himself to his music career. Chen Bing also joined Nie Dong's studio from then on, reading books and playing music. Because of Nie Dong's care, Chen Bing and Heizi have not suffered any losses in the imperial capital, and on the whole, it is quite smooth. But Chen Bing is very picky about songs, and likes classical charm, although because of his excellent beauty, classical temperament and natural voice, he has been well-known in the imperial capital music circle for a few years, but he has never produced any good works. It wasn't until more than a year after graduation that he began to seriously prepare for a solo album and prepare to officially debut as a singer.

After a year of careful preparation, the album has basically taken shape, but because most of the songs on the album are bland, Chen Bing always feels that there is a lack of one or two powerful works, especially the lack of songs as the main song. So Chen Bing was ready to write an ancient style song by himself, but he didn't feel anything. Finally, more than a month ago, I went to the famous mountains and rivers of Bashu to find inspiration.

"Is that the song I gave you back last time?" Hearing this, Bai Shuo couldn't help but ask.

Chen Bing nodded.

"Is the song finished now?"

Chen Bing shook his head again

"What then?"

Chen Bing smiled at this time: "Isn't there a song of your brother now?" I don't think I can write such a good song no matter how much I write. ”

Bai Shuo said "hehe" twice, lowered his head in embarrassment again, and drank coffee.

Bai Shuo finished understanding the bits and pieces of Chen Bing, and was sure that he had not had a little intersection with Chen Bing before, but he still felt that he seemed to have missed something.

"Do you know martial arts?" Bai Shuo asked unwillingly.

"Haha, what are you talking about?" Chen Bing laughed when Bai Shuo asked, and then said: "Do you think that you like classical things including those legendary ethereal martial arts masters, are you reading too many martial arts novels?" Haha......"

Bai Shuo also scratched his head and smiled: "Hehe, in my impression, classical things are in martial arts novels. ”

Chen Bing said with a smile: "When I went out to archaeology with my father in the past, I was bored and learned a set of sword dances with a Taoist priest, but it was all fancy, and the physical fitness and Xiuxiu dance movements were okay, but they couldn't be used in actual combat." ”

Then Chen Bing asked again: "Brother, why do you keep asking if we have met?" Have you seen me before?"

"Well, yes. ”

"Huh?" Chen Bing asked curiously, "Really, when, where have you seen it?"

Bai Shuo thought for a while and replied, "Well, in a dream."

"Poof......", Chen Bing couldn't hold back for a while, squirted out the coffee he had just drunk in his mouth, and looked at Bai Shuo funny.

At this time, Chen Bing felt a little hungry, "Brother, what do you want to eat?"

Only then did Bai Shuo realize that it was already noon: "Well, don't bother so much, is there anything to eat here?" So, the two ordered some Western food directly in the coffee shop, and chatted casually while eating. They talked for a long time, and they didn't part until Chen Bing had to go and continue recording.

After separating from Chen Bing, Bai Shuo's mood became very relaxed. I don't know if it's because some things are finally relieved, or because seeing Chen Bing itself is a pleasant thing. In fact, for the hesitation and incomprehension of that memory, through these years of thinking and the enlightenment of the old Taoist, Bai Shuo has been relieved a lot. However, for the woman in white who was seen last in the dream and Chen Bing, who suddenly appeared, there was still an indelible depression. Through today's in-depth contact with Chen Bing, Bai Shuo feels that Chen Bing is an unfortunate but very lucky girl since she was a child, she sometimes behaves independently, resolutely, and very assertively, and sometimes shows a lively, cute, and empathetic side, which is completely different from her previous impression. And the unique effect on Chen Bing's body that can make people feel refreshed seems to have completely eliminated the last trace of depression in Bai Shuo's heart, making Bai Shuo feel extremely relaxed.

I just took a taxi back to the hotel and was about to take a break, when suddenly the phone rang, and I saw that it was Cao An calling.

"Hey, where is it?" As soon as the phone was connected, Cao An asked very eagerly.

"Just got back to the hotel, what's wrong?". Bai Shuo felt Cao An's eagerness and disobedience, and felt a little strange.

"And where did you go before?"

"I'm going to find Chen Bing, haha, I finally saw her today. I chatted with her for a long time, and finally ......" Even on the phone, Bai Shuo had a joy that could not be concealed.

"Then who are you going with?" Before Bai Shuo could finish speaking, Cao An asked in an accentuated tone.

"With whom? Oh, didn't I go with you?" Bai Shuo sighed in surprise.

"My T.M's is still in the record company's pantry!" Cao An's roar came from the other side of the phone.
