Chapter 17 Trust Me

When the doorbell of the dormitory, which no one has rang for tens of thousands of years, was rang, Liu Ran didn't react. After it rang for a long time, he put on a pair of sweatpants and ran over to open the door dully.Kuang Yao and Jiang Xinwen went to practice, and Xi Wen was busy writing songs and locked himself in the room for three days without any movement. If the food in the refrigerator did not disappear occasionally, he almost asked someone to pick the lock.

After a while, someone knocked on Xi Wen's door, "Wen Wen, someone is looking for you." Liu Ran shouted loudly from outside.

"No time." Xi Wen replied angrily.

"He came here specifically to find you, saying that someone introduced him."

"Who?"

"A guy, he's pretty good-looking, just the type you like." Liu Ran smiled narrowly, "couldn't it be Hou Sheng who brought it here again? Didn't he pester you for a chat at the awards ceremony last time?" Half a day?"

"Damn it, there's no end to messing with this person." Xi Wen quickly drew a line on the numbered notation, crumpled the paper and threw it on the ground, cursing, "Let him go, I don't have time to greet him."

Liu Ran was unwilling to give up, "It looks really good, why don't you take a look? I think you will like it."

"Don't bother me when the king of heaven is here." Xi Wen was particularly irritable, played a chord with the guitar, hummed twice, and crossed out the words he had written before in frustration.

Outside the door, Liu Ran didn't force anymore, the sound of footsteps went away, there was a small conversation, and then the door slammed shut.

Xi Wen's hand jumped involuntarily, and the tip of the pen poked a hole in the paper. He stared at the breach, feeling suddenly empty in his heart, not knowing what had fallen.

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Xi Wen came out to browse for food, and Liu Ran sat on the sofa with a pillow in his arms and watched TV, drowsy.Xi Wen rummaged through the cabinet for a long time, but only found a matcha-flavored chocolate. He walked around the apartment with a biscuit stick in his mouth, "Kuang Yao and the others haven't come back yet?"

Liu Ran leaned his head on the pillow, tilted his head and said, "Yeah, after recording the song, tell me to go out to collect music and find inspiration. It may take a day or two, and you don't bring me with you, just throw me here alone, it's really inhumane .”

Xi Wen kicked him, "Do you think I'm dead?"

"You're stunned now. I don't see you for more than an hour in three days. You can't be counted as a person, at most half a person." Liu Ran shook his head.

Xi Wen pressed his reddened eyes with his palm, and sat down beside him, "Tomorrow Du Xia will see the finished product, how are you preparing?"

"It's almost like this. You know my level. I will definitely be passed. I am a technical person. You are enough for the creative type." Liu Ran smiled playfully, and then suddenly leaned over to take a stack of paper from the coffee table Pass it to Xi Wen, with a USB flash drive on it, "The boy who came this morning gave it to you, I checked, it's your song."

Xi Wen was a little stunned when he took it, it was the score he gave Du Xia, the piano part was specially marked, and a few simple notes were added, the handwriting was clean and beautiful, without redundant edges and corners.

He took the U disk back to his room, plugged it into the computer and listened to it. The piano music was flowing slowly. The speakers in his room were top-of-the-line. It is soft on the body.

This song is a public welfare song with an anti-war theme. The sad slow beat describes the gray war scars. The images are all gunfire and roses, white doves and death, children and steel guns.The origin of the creation of the song was a photo of a battlefield that Xi Wen accidentally saw, an innocent child playing games under the supervision of a soldier with a submachine gun.

All the performances are based on sadness and anger, and only this version can make people hear hope and peace amidst the noise.It seems that the sun that has not been completely swallowed at the end of the turbulent sea level illuminates the life force that grows tenaciously among the thorns.

Almost made Xi Wen cry.

It's quite embarrassing to be made to cry by a song I wrote.He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, the piano music was still playing over and over again, his thoughts moved up and down with the melody, his heart pounded hard against his chest, and suddenly there appeared in his mind the appearance of that person playing the piano, with lowered eyebrows and a spine Straight, bony fingers are walking on the black and white keys, the slightly raised wrist is exerting force with each tap, and the back of the hand is bulging with blue veins.

Xi Wen twisted the quilt tightly, thinking that he was a big fool for letting people go during the day.

The next day Xi Wen asked Du Xia for information.

Du Xia threatened him half-truthfully, "You'd better think it through yourself."

Xi Wen was silent for a long time, and then asked him, "Am I the only one who can move my lower body in your eyes?"

Du Xia's dull laughter came from the other end, "Okay, I've sent it to your email, you can check it yourself."

Xi Wen opened the file and found the contact information, but stopped when he was about to make a call.The ancients paid three visits to thatched huts. Isn't it more sincere to visit on the spot?Who knows how Liu Ran's [-] drove him away at that time.

Xi Wen specially packed up his styling, and drove his sports car that was the same color as his hair to the destination at lightning speed.When I got to the alley, I found that I couldn't drive in. I finally found a place to park my car. As soon as I got out of the car, a bird dropping fell on the front cover of the car. A black and white magpie spread its wings and flew away.

Xi Wen stared at the white bird droppings for a long time, trying to comfort himself that at least the environment here is good, the air is good, and there are nooks and corners where birds are willing to shit.

Shen Qingye's home is on the first floor of a residential building, with a small yard, sparsely fenced, treetops and flowers shaded, ivy lying on the wall, protruding from a corner towards the window, and a few pale yellow flowers bloomed on it. A sleeping little yellow cat was squatting by the door.

As soon as Xi Wen approached the door, the cat woke up, glanced sleepily at him, then buried its head in its front paws and fell asleep, not at all scary.

Standing on the stone steps in front of the door, Xi Wen could hear the continuous sound of piano practice coming from inside, it was very smooth, the wall should have been specially soundproofed, the sound was not very clear.He rang the doorbell, found that the doorbell was broken, and knocked on the door instead.

The wooden door was old-fashioned and heavy, and the sound of the piano covered the knocking sound. Xi Wen was a little torn between whether to smash the door vigorously or wait honestly outside.

Slamming the door is too spoiling the atmosphere.

Fortunately, he didn't struggle for long, and the sound of the piano in the room suddenly stopped.He took the opportunity to knock on the door and yelled, "Hi, is this Mr. Shen? I'm from Huanyu Media." The reason for the job is aboveboard.

Sure enough, the other end fell into the trap, the chair legs moved against the floor, and a nice male voice came out, "Wait a minute."

After a while the door opened, only a small crack.

Xi Wen raised his eyes, and Shen Qingye was standing at the door, wearing a shirt and trousers. When the wind blew, the corners of his clothes swayed, and there was still the smell of pine, his eyebrows and eyes were much more delicate than those on the TV, "Hello, what's the matter?"

Xi Wen was stunned for a while, and took a long time to take out the USB flash drive from his pocket, "Did my friend say you sent it?"

When Shen Qingye saw the USB flash drive, his expression changed slightly, and he said after a while, "Yes, please return it."

He stretched out his hand to take it, but Xi Wen retracted his hand, making Shen Qingye's hand empty and stopped in mid-air.Xi Wen smiled at him, showing his white teeth, his eyes bent like crescent moons, "I asked Mr. Du to find you. I listened to the music in the USB flash drive, and it was perfect. No one is more suitable than you. This time I’m here to officially invite you to participate in the production.”

Shen Qingye didn't show a look of joy, but said indifferently, "Thank you, but I may not be able to participate, so give me the USB flash drive." He stretched out his hand again.

Xi Wen dodged, and this time he simply put his hands behind his back, the hard little iron box poked into the flesh of his palm, and asked him with a frown, "Why?"

Shen Qingye had no choice but to withdraw his hand, "There are some other work conflicts."

"Impossible, Du Xia said that you haven't scheduled any work during this time."

Shen Qingye frowned, and then changed his words, "There will be a performance in a while, I need to practice."

"I will only take up a little bit of your time." Xi Wen insisted, "These are all excuses, so why? I can tell that you like this song. People can lie, but music can't. No one can perform better than you If you give up, it will be a pity for both of us."

"I like this song, that's right," Shen Qingye's voice was cold, "but I don't want to cause other troubles, your lover is more jealous, I don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

Xi Wen was stunned for a moment, "What lover? When did I have another lover?"

Shen Qingye explained, "When I went that day, you might not be there. It was your lover who opened the door. I think you need to strengthen communication with him. He is a little too suspicious. He gave up his life for you. I hope You can cherish him and don’t make him sad anymore.” After a pause, he said sincerely, “Although this is a private matter, there are many risks in seeking excessive excitement and having sex with multiple partners, I suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup.”

Xi Wen was confused, what the hell?Why was he charged with such a crime for no reason?

He reacted for a while, then gritted his teeth, "What did that bastard Liu Ran tell you?"

In fact, it's nothing, it's nothing more than Liu Ran's showmanship, putting on a good show in front of Shen Qingye, the purpose is to completely demonize Xi Wen, and cut off any of his attempts and imaginations.

Shen Qingye shook his head, "You can keep that USB flash drive, that's all I have to say."

Seeing that the door was about to be closed, Xi Wen grabbed the door panel with one hand, stuck one foot in the crack of the door, and squeezed his body in, "Listen to me, he's talking nonsense, I have nothing to do with him, we just Ordinary teammates."

He was caught in the middle of the door, Shen Qingye was afraid of getting hurt, so he didn't dare to use force, so he had to let go, "Mr. Xi, you don't have to do this, I won't talk about your private life to the outside world, I'm not a nosy person."

Because he let go, Xi Wen stepped in with half of his foot. He took a breath, and then said, "Well, you come with me, and I will let Liu Ran explain to you. It was actually a misunderstanding, and he ran away with his mouth full. Train, no matter how hungry I am, I still have basic aesthetics."

Shen Qingye was unmoved, and his face was still a little ugly, "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. But Mr. Xi, if you do this again, I'm going to call the police, and you're considered breaking into a private house."

Xi Wen was pissed off, when had he ever suffered from such dumbness, and his temper suddenly turned up, "Report, if you have the ability, if I move a position before trying to persuade you today, I will not be named Xi." He just sat down along the door frame, and sat on the threshold with his long legs bent, his brows furrowed, his head raised, his eyes were angry.

Shen Qingye lowered his head and looked at him for a while, his eyes were dark, and he was holding his breath, "What exactly do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything, what else can I think about? I just can't get angry!"

"I just want to ask you to make a song together, and it's not a crime. Do you want to be so repulsive? What a good thing, you like this song, I like you The song they played, the two hit it off, why did it seem like I was making trouble for no reason? How could such a simple matter be messed up by Liu Ran? Why are you so tired?!"

He used to be quite imposing and his voice was still loud, but he felt aggrieved as he spoke, "It took me more than two hours to find this crappy place. As soon as I stopped, the new car was smashed by bird droppings. I knew nothing good would happen today." , I should come back at a different time. I didn’t dare to knock on the door when I heard you playing the piano. I finally waited for you to stop, and this was the result. I haven’t had sex for half a year. Pursuit of excitement? How did that bastard Liu Ran come up with such a word?"

The more Xi Wen thought about it, the more he felt bewildered, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was unlucky. He was suddenly splashed with dirty water, and he came to visit the thatched cottage sincerely, but after a few minutes of conversation, he actually sat on the ground like a shrew.As if the world has been turned upside down, how did he develop to this point?Does he still have an image?

Shen Qingye's nerves ached after hearing him say such a long list, but looking at the appearance of this person sitting on the ground, it seemed as if he could cry if he said another harsh word. "So what do you want me to do?"

Xi Wen stared at him, "I think you believe me."

Shen Qingye sighed, "Then let's go."

Xi Wen was still full of emotions, and didn't realize it all at once, "Where are you going?"

Shen Qingye looked at him like a fool, "Aren't you going to take me to someone to explain?"

"Ah, oh, yes." Xi Wen got up from the ground with a vicious expression, "I'll take you to prove my innocence."
