Chapter 22 6-1

Lin Zhique couldn't stop dozing off.

There are not many accompanying beds in the hospital. She leaned against Lu Shan's bedside and slept in the middle of the night. When she woke up, her back hurt and her neck was stiff, and her headache did not improve. The one that was working next door, the clock stopped every now and then, and after drilling for a while, she became more awake, then fell asleep again, and her upper and lower eyelids were fighting.

Director Li brought a new poster early in the morning, which is the new album "Apprentice Eros" by Twins. On the poster, Ah Sa and Gillian are wearing student uniforms, smiling brightly at the camera. Mandarin Album", "March 3th, released throughout Asia".

With a cigarette in his mouth, he pasted the poster on the glass outside the store, held it up high and made gestures for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't cover the poster of "Loving Female Voices".In addition, a piece of A4 printing paper was pasted next to the new poster, and it was written that "the top 50 buyers can get a Twins poster, the quantity is limited, first come first served".

Young students who have inquired about this new album have been in constant stream since the morning. Lin Zhique kept responding, saying that the goods have not arrived in the store yet, and they are asked to come back to buy them on the 18th of the next day.Less than two hours after opening the store, more than half of the 50 places for poster delivery have been booked in cash. Lin Zhique replaced the records played in the store with old Twins discs, and listened to them together with Director Li in the small space of the store. For a long time, "how many love songs are sung to me, it is still reluctant, how bright the front stage is, it is difficult to sing softly and softly in the ears of my favorite".When she lowered her head to get change for customers, or to register rental discs, she always noticed that Director Li's gaze was like a puff of smoke, drifting towards her, and when she raised her eyes, they drifted away leisurely.

He came earlier than usual, with messy hair and a pair of dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been destroyed.Lin Zhique stayed up most of the night, and his face was also very ugly. The two of them were like a pair of "Twins" with another meaning, which made the store have a haggard and gloomy atmosphere despite the girl's music playing. They killed two lingering little ghosts.

In the afternoon, a pair of young male students came to the store, one of whom was known by Lin Zhique, Chen Yiran from the music department.The other one was taller, with broad shoulders and long legs, and was handsome, but his face was injured, as if he had been in a fight, and the bridge of his nose and the corners of his eyes were bruised.They were carrying bags, holding books, wearing shirts, and dressed up in red. The taller one walked into the store first, and shouted loudly: "Director Li? Brother, are you there?" Chen Yiran followed closely behind him , walked in, first politely said hello to the person behind the cash register, and then found out that it was her, he showed his signature shy smile, and said, "It's you. You work here."

Director Li poked his head out, "Oh. Zhao Qian is here. And..." He couldn't remember.

Chen Yiran greeted him politely: "Director Li, I am Chen Yiran."

Director Li nodded, then shifted his gaze to Zhao Qian's face: "Hey, you got into a fight with someone."

Zhao Qian smiled embarrassedly and showed his big white teeth. He touched his head and opened the notebook in his hand, "We came here just to ask how the concert tickets are selling now?"

Director Li said: "I don't know, I have to ask Miss Lin about the tickets."

Lin Zhique took out the bills and the remaining invoices, and checked them one by one. How many were sold at each price and how many were left. Zhao Qian leaned over and copied them in a notebook.Chen Yiran kindly explained to her from the side: "This concert is jointly organized by the performing arts company and our school's student union. They are responsible for the artists and external publicity, and we are responsible for the venue equipment and stage art."

"Well," Zhao Qian hugged Chen Yiran and patted him on the shoulder heartily. "We're still a live band. He's on the guitar and I'm on the keyboard."

Chen Yiran smiled, "It's just a backup band."

Then the two of them wandered around the store for a while, Lin Zhique rested his chin and looked at the pair of young boys, one of whom was a famous singer in the future, and the other, whom she had heard several times in Du Si's mouth recently.He is indeed, as she said, "unimaginable that there is another side like that".

She heard Chen Yiran asking Zhao Qian: "Hey, Aqian, do you want to buy Twins' new album?"

Zhao Qian turned around in front of the record rack where rock CDs were placed, "Since when did you like Twins?"

"I don't have it. I mean, Lu Xiaohua and the others should like it, right? The top 50 will get a poster for free."

Lin Zhique saw through Chen Yiran's pretending to be nonchalant and his words meant something at a glance.

"They? She likes SHE. Besides..." Zhao Qian lowered her voice, "We have already broken up."

Zhao Qian was still dejected in front of the record rack, and Chen Yiran was hesitating in front of the magazine cabinet. Finally, he raised his head and found that Lin Zhique was looking at him.

She smiled, "Want to buy a new record? You can pay cash to order."

He walked slowly to the cash register, "...OK."

So he took out his wallet and paid the money. He lowered his head again and asked very embarrassedly, "Can you give it away for me?"

Lin Zhique lowered her head and was about to write down his name and phone number on the reservation register. She didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and said with a smile: "You can't catch up with girls like this."

Chen Yiran was very flustered at once, and hurriedly turned his head to see if anyone else heard their conversation. Lin Zhique handed him the receipt, and he asked in a low voice, "Actually, I'm not sure, does she like it?"

She shrugged, "How would I know."

At this time, a pair of noisy female students came into the store, and one of them said to Lin Zhique as soon as he entered the door: "Boss, don't you have SHE's album here? Why don't you play their songs? Their songs are better " The other pulled at this one: "You know what! Twins sound much better!" They attacked each other's idols, and they fought with each other's lips. Zhao Qian turned to look at them, and said to Chen Yiran from a distance: : "Look. I just said it. She won't like it." After finishing speaking, he walked further.

Chen Yiran turned his head and looked at Lin Zhique with pleading eyes.

Lin Zhique comforted him casually: "He said that Lu Xiaohua didn't like it." Seeing his indecision, he had no choice but to say, "I'll help you."

So she frantically wrote her name in the record book.

Chen Yiran was grateful to her, she waved him away, then dozed off with her chin resting on her cheek.

"Hey, that's the same," Zhao Qian came out from the back of the store waving her mobile phone, "Just now Lu Shan called, saying that she is hospitalized and can't participate in the backup dance."

When Lin Zhique heard this, he thought to himself, this school is so small that everyone knows everyone.

Chen Yiran was stunned: "Ah? What happened to her? Is she seriously ill?"

"She didn't go into details, she just told us to find someone to take over."

"It's at this critical moment, who can I turn to? I remember two dances that were particularly difficult."

"What about the freshmen in the dance department? I asked the cadres of the student union of their school to ask who can dance pop dance."

Without thinking, Lin Zhique blurted out: "Why don't you find someone from Du Si?"

For some reason, she remembered that that night, Du Siren said that the feeling of light hitting her body was really good.

Zhao Qian asked: "Really? Siren can dance? It seems so? Xiaohua told me."

"Well, I guess so. I don't know."

She immediately thought, why am I so nosy?

Chen Yiran's joy was beyond words, he discussed with Zhao Qian: "Then...shall I call her?"

A customer called and asked Lin Zhique to help find a copy of "She Is Lonely Than Fireworks". She left the two of them and went to the DVD rack at the back of the store with all her strength, and the Twins' singing made them talk. The sound is completely covered.Director Li was squatting next to the shelf, tapping the keyboard of the phone.They didn't talk to anyone, she searched the top few rows, but couldn't find this disc, so she also had to squat down and search the bottom two rows.Director Li gave her a sideways glance, and finally asked, "You were in the hospital last night?"

They were all squatting, with Wuyang Wuyang's colorful DVDs above their heads, as well as the dust floating under the afternoon sun.What is on the shelf is a dream, what is floating in the air is reality.

Lin Zhique continued to rummage through his hands, "Yes."

"No wonder, seeing that you are not in good spirits."

"You're not in the hospital, aren't you in a bad mood?"

"... What about him? He was in the hospital with you?"

"He's not in now."

Lin Zhique turned to a set of "World Hip-Hop Competition Film and Television Records".She glanced at the cover and stuffed it back.

Director Li hugged his knees and looked at the floor.

"Then is she okay?"

"Who?"

Director Li didn't answer.It seems difficult to answer.

Lin Zhique said, "She will be fine."

"...It was he who was sorry for her."

Director Li's voice was hoarse, without his usual loose appearance and tone.

"Why are you telling me this? It has nothing to do with me."

"It has nothing to do with you, why do you do so much?"

Lin Zhique made a slip of the tongue, and turned her head to look at Director Li. She noticed that his eye sockets were red. Compared with the haggard look earlier, this sad flush became the only anger in his body, like In his barren and luxuriant empty life, there is a single rose blooming somewhere.

She felt a little soft-hearted, and looked away.

She said: "I didn't do much, just with a little effort. She was going to run towards the cliff, and I couldn't control her, but she fell right in front of my eyes, and I had to pull her."

"She is lonelier than fireworks", this line of words suddenly appeared on a certain disc that she slid over with her fingertips, so she pulled out the DVD and stood up abruptly.

Ben was suffering from a headache, she got up too fast, and she staggered two steps. Someone reached out to support her, and the gentle and bright voice said above her head: "Sister, I bought you headache medicine."

She regained her sight in the darkness, raised her head, Dusi's round almond eyes blinked at her, she smiled at her, those eyes were bent, and the corners of the eyes drooped, they were too close, the afternoon sun was fine, She plated the fluffy gold edges on the Dusi people, and she could even see the very faint fluff on the Dusi people's faces.

Dust floated in the light, but it didn't fall on the Dusi people.

She said, "Are you sleepy? You go home and go to bed. I'll help you go to work."

Before she recovered, a white plastic bag was stuffed into Lin Zhique's hand. She looked down and saw that it was a bag full of various medicine boxes and jars.

Dusi nudged her elbow, pushed her out, walked to the cash register, leaned over and fished out her bag from the cash register, hung it around her neck, and pulled her one hand to wear it. The belt of the bag is like sending a child to kindergarten.Then Du Siren said: "Okay! You can go home."

Lin Zhique replied: "Oh."

She is really tired.

Before leaving, she saw Zhao Qian and Lu Xiaohua staring at each other in embarrassment.Chen Yiran was very useless and didn't know where to hide.

Gillian is singing: Who will accompany me to risk falling in love?

Du Siren said behind her, "I'll be right back after get off work."

Lin Zhique raised his hand and waved it without looking back, "Thank you for your hard work."

She took the bus back to Meixi South Road. Unfortunately, when she took the key to open the door, Aunt Wang, who was at the opposite door, was walking upstairs and asked her suspiciously: "Are you Siren's classmate? I seem to have seen you last time." .”

Lin Zhique nodded and said yes, trying to put on a well-behaved appearance.

Aunt Wang looked at the stairs, "Are you alone?"

"Hmm..." She made it up casually, "She was in school and said she forgot something. I happened to be free, so I came to help her get it."

"Oh." Aunt Wang showed a look of disbelief, "You guys have to do a good job, don't mess up the house too much, Lao Du and the others will be back tomorrow night."

Lin Zhique's heart sank.Grandpa and grandma are coming back.

But at the moment, she didn't have time to think too much, Aunt Wang still stared at her with fly-like eyes, she just wanted to escape into the house quickly, she opened the lock, Aunt Wang came closer and said, "Are you a student too? It doesn't look like... Are you a teacher? A counselor? I heard that the current college counselors are quite young..."

She hastened to say: "Auntie, I'll go in first." She bowed as she spoke, and quickly slipped into the room through the crack of the door, closing the door tightly again.Leaning against the door, she heard Aunt Wang still outside saying, "It's very strange." Then there was the sound of unlocking, opening, and closing the door.

She took a deep breath, kicked off the pair of sky blue canvas shoes, walked a few steps, and collapsed on the sofa.She opened the white plastic bag and poured all the medicines inside on the coffee table: headache tablets, painkillers, cold medicine, Huoxiangzhengqi water, and even a large bag of Radix Radix. In addition, there was a small card, She turned it over, and it was Dusi's round handwriting.

"To the Bird Lady:

There is warm water in the kettle on the coffee table in the living room.

If you're hungry, there's milk in the fridge and sandwiches I make on the kitchen table.

Not spicy at all!

have a good dream. "

There is indeed a white kettle on the coffee table that I haven't seen a few days ago, and there is also a glass cup that has been washed.She poured half a glass of water, took painkillers, walked to the door of the room, and found that the quilt was neatly folded, the curtains were tied up, and the room was flooded with sunlight.

She hesitated for a few steps, then turned around and went to lie down on the sofa, just nestled on the sofa and fell asleep.

Before falling asleep, she remembered what Aunt Wang said, and she was very angry. Why doesn't she look like a student anymore?She clearly looks about the same age as Du Si people... Grandpa and grandma are coming back... This family does not belong to her...

After thinking about it like a lantern for a moment, she fell into a dream.

It seemed that no one had wished her good dreams for many years.
