Licheng Twilight

Chapter 21

For the first time in my life, I went to a bar.

Many years later, when Mu Mu was walking alone in the streets of Paris, watching the sycamores on the side of the road slowly transforming with the seasons, recalling the four years she spent with that boy, she suddenly discovered that her life In so many unforgettable first times, there is always the figure of this young man, but it has been worn down by time and he can no longer see clearly.

Regarding the bar, Mu Mu only has two concepts from TV, a place to drink and a place to dance.

With a guitar on his back, Ye Tianche took Mu Mu into a bar called "Let's Listen to the Wind Sing" with ease.Although the location of the bar is not remote, it is buried in many high-rise buildings, and it is easy to get lost if you are not careful. The bar is across the street from University A, so most of the guests of "Let's listen to the wind" are college students.

The same flashing lights, the same loud music, the same melancholy crowd drinking big glasses of beer, and the same young men and women dancing wildly as on TV.Mu Mu slowed down her pace, with her hands hanging by her sides, she unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes, making them a little wrinkled.

The young man turned his head and looked at her smiling like a flower, "Mumu, you know you have a habit of tearing your clothes when you get nervous."

Mu Mu came back to her senses, and let go of her hand in embarrassment. One hand was leaning on the clothes and trying to put it in the pocket, but it was empty. She was only wearing a T-shirt.

The boy turned around, put down his guitar and took off his coat to cover the girl. "The air conditioner is turned on inside, it will be a little cold." After speaking, he took her arm and walked in.

He seems to be a frequent visitor here, the waiters at the bar greeted him kindly when they saw him, he stopped a waiter and said something, the waiter walked up to Mu Mu politely, and made a very gentlemanly pose please.

Mu Mu looked up at Ye Tianche, saw him make an OK gesture, and obediently followed the waiter to a quiet corner and sat down.

Just sitting down and drinking a few sips of water, she raised her head to look for Ye Tianche's figure, but what caught her eyes was a string of sparkling lights. Mu Mu instinctively squinted her eyes for a while to get used to it, and then she saw clearly the figure sitting on her own. Opposite is Lin Xichen.

Mu Mu looked at him carefully for a while, he was not wearing the usual loose T-shirt today, but a very shiny silver coat, and his hair seemed a little different, "You, what are you doing?"

Lin Xichen pursed his lips, leaned on the sofa with his hands propped up, and flung his hair coquettishly, "Tsk tsk, don't you think I'm handsome like this?"

Mu Mu was at a loss for words for a while, before saying, "Uh, you are very beautiful."

The waiter who was about to bring drinks to the two of them laughed so hard that his hands cramped when he heard this. The orange juice on the tray shook a few times, and it was about to pour on Mu Mu, but Lin Xichen quickly stopped it halfway.He put the orange juice on the table and said with a smile, "Ah Mu, your gravitational force seems to be very strong. The soup last time was the same, and the orange juice this time is also the same. They all go straight to you."

Just as Mu Mu was about to answer, the spotlight on the central stage suddenly turned on, "Now is the time for ZERO's performance, please enjoy it." Everyone's eyes were attracted to the stage by the host, and it took only a few seconds before Mu Mu retracted it. When I looked at it, I found that the seat opposite was already empty.

Then, only the screams and applause of the audience were heard.It seems that this band called "ZREO" is quite popular, Mu Muxiang.

As soon as he raised his head, his movements were frozen, and his eyes could no longer be moved away.

That boy, holding a guitar and standing in the center of the stage, has a tall and straight figure, with slender legs wrapped in white trousers, a blue suit jacket with a golden collar, showing a unique noble temperament, he looked at her, his eyes Laughing, there is a bit of slyness in the smile, but also a bit of pride, the warm and faint voice is familiar yet unfamiliar, to Mu Mu's ears, it sounds like a voice in a dream, very strange and unreal, "Hi everyone, We are ZERO."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd in the audience immediately boiled up. The drummer of the band seized the opportunity to beat the drum heavily. Mu Mu caught a glimpse of Lin Xichen sitting in front of the drum kit and blinking at him.

Wait, that bassist seems to be Ding Chuyi, and the one who plays the keyboard is Lin Lier, isn't it?

What's going on here?After one after another of big shocks, Mu Mu felt that her mind was not very clear. She sat down and drank the orange juice in one go before feeling calmer.

The four of them formed a band?And still singing in bars?Mu Mu rubbed her temples, really, unimaginable.

Ye Tianche is the guitarist and lead singer of the band. Mu Mu sat in the corner with his back straight, motionless looking at the young man shining brightly in the dim light. He stood in the most conspicuous position, accepting everyone's appreciation His gaze became the focus of everyone's attention, leading everyone into the world of music, and in that world, he was the master.

This is the so-called masculinity.

With cool eyes, slightly curved mouth corners, and flexible fingers that dazzle people, Mu Mu looked at him with mixed feelings in his heart. I saw the most attractive you, but I also saw a high-profile you. Unattainable you, your world is like a completely closed space, with only one door communicating with the outside world, and I don't have the key to open that door.

People inside will always be inside and be with you, while people outside can only be outside, looking at each other from afar.

Sometimes, I wish that you were just an ordinary boy.

Many years later, when the two of them talked about this past again, Ye Tianche could only smile wryly, my fool, how did you know that I would not willingly give up my whole world for you.

ZERO's performance has always been the finale of "Let's Listen to the Wind Sing", so it was almost eleven o'clock when it was finished, and the finale ended. Several girls mustered up their courage and ran to the stage to deliver flowers. Ye Tianche held the flowers and stood. In front of Mu Mu, her proud eyes were almost on the top of her head, Mu Mu had a pure smile, knowing that she was stupid, she had to applaud desperately.

Lin Xichen jumped off the stage to join in the fun, put his hand on Mu Mu's shoulder and asked, "How is it? My drum kit is super good, right?" It was obviously a questioning sentence pattern, but it only had a positive tone.

Mu Mu nodded, thought for a while and praised seriously, "Well, you hit very hard."

A flock of crows flew by, Lin Xichen wiped off his cold sweat.

After packing up, Lin Xichen kept yelling that she was hungry, and the five of them found a roadside stall on the corner of the street and decided to have some supper before going home.

The clear soup and the plump and white dumplings make people appetite.Mu Mu took a bite, the stuffing was juicy and rich, the taste was light but delicious, a rare good taste.

The atmosphere was always quiet and depressing, few people spoke, even Lin Xichen, who was usually too noisy, just buried his head in eating. Mu Mu raised his head, just in time to see Ding Chuyi holding the bowl, lowering his head and slowly drinking the soup. Inadvertently, the hair next to the ear swept to the side of the bowl, stained with a little soup without realizing it.

Mu Mu hesitated for a while, then took out a neatly folded white handkerchief from her backpack. A light blue flower was embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief, which looked small and delicate.

"It's on your hair." With a soft and gentle voice, she passed Ye Tianche beside him, and handed the handkerchief in front of Ding Chuyi. The blue flower at the corner of the handkerchief, she lowered her eyelids again to eat, and ignored it.

Embarrassed, Mu Mu lowered her head and gently put the handkerchief by Ding Chuyi's hand. Ye Tianche grabbed it just as she put it down, and wiped it randomly on Ding Chuyi's hair. Dead child, I really don't know what is good or bad."

Ding Chuyi's hairstyle instantly changed from a princely style to a chicken coop style. He turned over Lin Xichen and Lin Li'er with a smile. Ding Chuyi had no expression on his face. He didn't even reach out to straighten his hair. He just put down his chopsticks and didn't say a word. With the bass, he left indifferently.

With his silent back slowly walking into the deeper and deeper darkness, Ye Tianche reluctantly put down his chopsticks. What a waste, he poured out all the dumplings in the bowl to Lin Xichen, then gave the three people a reassuring look, and trotted after him. past.

Seeing Mu Mu's guilty look, Lin Xichen comforted him, "Don't worry, Ah Che has always found a solution."

Mu Mu glanced at Lin Li'er, the girl gave her a reassuring smile, and she felt better.

I don't know how long the two boys walked side by side. It was almost late at night, and there were only a few pedestrians on the street. The waxy yellow lights stretched the shadows of the two people obliquely, and they were projected to the ground together with the big trees beside the road. The face is clear, but the expression cannot be seen clearly, only the vague outline, he does not speak, and neither does Ye Tianche.Just keep going forward, no purpose, no time limit, only the sound of footsteps of different severity, step by step, towards the unknown front.

Finally, go around a circle and return to the origin.

Ding Chuyi leaned against the tree and smiled helplessly, "Ah Che, you always have a way to make me speak."

He stood in front of him, without any joking expression on his face, "You just don't want to make me feel better."

Ding Chu raised his head sideways with a smile, looking at the starless night sky, "Ache, you are my brother, a very important brother. If, I mean, if she and I are destined not to coexist, who do you choose? "

"Hehe, what you said sounds a little strange. People who don't know think what happened to us." The young man folded his arms, his eyebrows and eyes curved.

"So, who are you going to choose?" He asked seriously, and Ye Tianche couldn't help but dodge.

Ye Tianche put down the guitar, sat down cross-legged against a tree, "Let me tell you a story."

Ding Chu shook his head, and was about to tell you not to change the subject, but Ye Tianche raised his hand to signal him to listen to him.

"Once upon a time, two women went to the county magistrate to argue over a child. One said the child belonged to her, and the other said the child belonged to her, but neither of them had strong evidence. The county magistrate was also confused. Worm, just casually say that you two should grab it, and whoever grabs it will be the one. When the two women heard this, one of them grabbed the child's hand and pulled it towards him. The child burst into tears from the pain, and one of them When a woman heard it, she almost shed tears and let go of the child."

"Then, Chu Yi, who do you think is the mother of that child?"
