Chapter 60

Li Qian's senior year in high school begins.

A new Chinese teacher came to Class 5 of Senior Three. He is an old friend of Li’s father. He is also in his forties this year. His classmates quickly accepted his style.

Wang Jinglu transferred to another school and left. Ran Xiaoli got married during the summer vacation. It is said that she is not planning to come back to take the university entrance exam. Two seats were immediately vacated in the class, but the vacant seats they left were transferred by two on the first day. Life is taken.

Some people go, some people come.

It started in the third year of high school.

According to the teachers, in the new school year, half a semester will be used to take a whole year of new courses, and then the second half of the year will be used to arrange review for the students, so the course schedule is suddenly much tighter.

People's hearts also seemed to become tense after that.

But Li Qian has no intention of changing his inherent life path.

He still gets up early to exercise every day, then eats breakfast, goes to school for class, goes back to Shengshi Garden for lunch at noon, and takes a lunch break there for half an hour. After school in the afternoon, he goes back to his rented house without eating. go to the restaurant. When he finished singing and came out, he would just find a small shop on the side of the road, where he could buy noodles, dumplings, wontons, rice noodles, rice noodles...anyway, he just wanted to fill his stomach.

Such a pace of life is busy but fulfilling.

They finished school at 5:40 in the afternoon, went home to pick up their guitars, and then rode their bicycles to the "Feiaibu Western Restaurant". It's seven o'clock, and the performance is about to start.

When he came to the restaurant today, it was 6:24.

The girl playing the piano was playing "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair."

Seeing him coming in with a guitar on his back, Chu Bingbing greeted him with a smile.

After Li Qian met Cao Zhan a few days ago, because many of their viewpoints were very compatible, and their temperaments were also very similar, the relationship became very close. She is Cao Zhan's third concubine, so naturally she was from Cao Zhan knew about this, so he treated Li Qian more and more affectionately these days, and didn't treat him like an ordinary singer at all.

Then again, even if Li Qian has no friendship with Cao Zhan, a person who is only seventeen or eighteen years old can make people like her husband praise him for being extremely talented, and a person who can easily make a newcomer like Liao Liao People who are instantly popular are definitely not to be underestimated.

However, the other party's attitude was amiable, but Li Qian didn't feel that he had any privileges if he knew the owner of the restaurant well. Seeing Chu Bingbing, he still bowed slightly and called out, "Hello, Manager Chu!"

Chu Bingbing couldn't help rolling her eyes, and looked at him with a charming look, "I'm shabby, don't you? It's so hard to call me a sister-in-law? You look down on people who are concubines!"

When I was not familiar with her, I thought her manager was warm and shrewd. After getting acquainted with her a little these days, I realized that she is not only shrewd, but also like Cao Zhan, she has always spoken quickly and ruthlessly.

After everyone said that, Li Qian had no choice but to obediently call out "sister-in-law".

Only then did Chu Bingbing agree with a smile, then pointed to the corner of the restaurant by the window, and said, "Hey, our old Cao is looking for you, and he's waiting for you there!"

Li Qian turned his head to look over, and sure enough, he saw Cao Zhan raised his hand and beckoned.

So he went over and sat down opposite Cao Zhan. Cao Zhan asked a question, knowing that Li Qian hadn't eaten, he beckoned the waiter and ordered him a steak.

Li Qian put the guitar away by his side, and smiled as he watched him slowly cut the steak, chewing in a gentle manner, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Cao, your hobby is really unique... Do you like to eat alone? Then Where are the two sisters-in-law?"

Cao Zhan swallowed the steak in his mouth unhurriedly, and then said: "I like to eat the steak in the shop here, and my son and daughter both like to eat 'Lao San Fried Chicken', so everyone eats their own .”

Li Qian smiled: Cao Zhan is such a person.

When I first met those two times, Li Qian still wondered why he always had the same head portrait printed on every time he changed his T-shirt. After a closer look, he realized: the one on the head portrait is holding a pipe in his hand and is puffing. Guy, it was himself!

The big boss should have the privilege of jumping in the queue when ordering food. Anyway, Li Qian just sat down and said a few words, and the steak was delivered.

Li Qian ate steak much faster than Cao Zhan.

When his food arrived, Cao Zhan had already eaten more than half of it, but in the end it was Li Qian who finished it one step ahead of him.

As a result, when he finished eating, wiped his mouth, and was drinking water, Cao Zhan also finished eating. Li Qian was about to prepare to start performing, but Cao Zhan suddenly said, "This is your salary for today!"

Li Qian almost spit out a mouthful of water, "I said you are as good as you!"

Cao Zhan ignored him, took a sip of water slowly, and then beckoned the waiter over again, saying: "You go and ask Bingbing to bring over what I just gave her." When the waiter walked away, he said: "Send it to me." You order something."

Soon, Chu Bingbing came over with a big box, which looked like a guitar.

Cao Zhan took it over, handed it to Li Qian, and said, "I've been thinking about giving you something for the past few days, and I happened to have such an object, handmade by a friend, and gave it to me, but I already have dozens of guitars. If you don’t need it, let’s borrow flowers to present to Buddha! Give it to you!”

Li Qian thanked him and took it over, opened the box and took a look, and immediately couldn't help a "huh", took it out and hugged it in his arms, adjusted a few notes, and kneaded two chords - I have to say, it's really good Guitar!

But he couldn't help but said, "Why did you give me something?"

Cao Zhan remained expressionless as usual, turned his head to look at the guitar next to Li Qian, and said, "The guitar you used before is so unremarkable!"

Li Qian smiled and looked at Chu Bingbing with some puzzlement.

Chu Bingbing laughed too, and looked at Cao Zhan.

Cao Zhan said: "You are not short of money, but you are still willing to ride a bicycle. I think you are very popular. Your songs are very popular. With only five songs, you have someone who is taller than me in the circle." The price, but you still go to your high school honestly, I think you are more stylish. But the guitar is nothing else, it is not a car, it is part of the music, you love music, your music is so awesome Son, but you are holding such a broken guitar worth a hundred yuan, I think you are too unfashionable!"

Well, if you take a closer look, what Cao Zhan said makes sense. And Li Qian can fully understand and understand that a person who loves music really hopes that others love music like him, and a person who loves guitars can't stand the feeling of others holding a broken guitar. But... this is absolutely nonsense!

Li Qian just smiled and said, "Isn't music played by a guitar costing a hundred and ten dollars? Can't you make good things for a hundred and ten dollars? Brother Cao, you're a plaything! You said that Brother Yu was an upstart , tell me, you are a music upstart! Brother Yu thinks that people have to drive a good car to be stylish, and you think that a music maker must pursue a good guitar, and hold a good guitar to be stylish , you are all nouveau riche!"

Cao Zhan heard this and thought for a while, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, put it down, thought for a while, looked at Li Qian and said, "Then give it back to me!"

"Beautiful thinking!"

Li Qian smiled and put the guitar back into the guitar case, "I want to take back what I gave away, are you okay?"

So both of them laughed.

Anyway, you say yours, I say mine, everyone is wrong.

Chu Bingbing hasn't left since she brought the guitar over. She has been standing next to Cao Zhan and leaning on his shoulders, watching the two of them bickering with sparkling eyes. At this time, she smiled and said to Li Qian: " Don't put it away, it's your turn! Go try out your new guitar!"

Cao Zhan added, "I want to sing a song in Russian!"

But Li Qian didn't listen to them. While putting away the guitar, he took his original guitar from the seat and handed it to Cao Zhan, "Is your hand raw? Do you want to try it? It costs a hundred yuan." Does your guitar have style?"

Chu Bingbing glanced at Li Qian in surprise when he heard this—this counterattack was a bit sharp.

Cao Zhan was also a little surprised. But he looked up at Li Qian, thought for a while, and nodded, took the guitar and walked towards the performance area of ​​the restaurant.

When he walked away, Chu Bingbing sat down on his seat, looked at Li Qian, and said with some surprise: "Old Cao really gave you face, if someone else dared to talk to him like this, dare to hand over a piece of paper." Let him perform on the stage with a broken guitar, and he would have already flung his sleeves and left! That's good, today he actually..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Qian said directly: "I went back and listened to Brother Cao's works, and I can feel that he has become more and more artistic in the past two years, so his songs are becoming more and more popular! "

Chu Bingbing looked at him in surprise.

At this time, Cao Zhan Shi Ran walked to the high stool where Li Qian usually sang, sat down, tried two strings, and then the guitar sounded—he actually played the prelude to "Persistence".

His singing voice is very similar to his speaking voice, both are low baritone, with a little bit of sexy hoarseness.

"When night comes, loneliness is always around me, and the light of heartbeat at dusk is my infinite tenderness..."

Not to mention, he came to sing this song, which has a special flavor.

When he finished singing, there was a burst of not-so-small applause in the restaurant.

Then, he nodded in the direction of the guest, and walked back calmly.

Chu Bingbing stood up and gave up his seat, while Li Qian asked with a smile, "How about the music played by the broken guitar?"

Cao Zhan sniffled, handed him the guitar, and said proudly: "A broken guitar is a broken guitar, what can I do?"

Li Qian just laughed.

Then he asked a little surprised: "I'm still a little surprised, you like this song so much? When did you make up the chords yourself?"

This time it was Cao Zhan's turn to be surprised.

He took a serious look at Li Qian, took a sip from his water glass, and said with an extremely serious expression on his face, "It's not just me, the entire music circle in China now, I don't know how many people are studying your songs, Especially those three light rock songs!"

Li Qian was a little surprised when he heard this, but soon he understood: Just like any circle, the music circle has always had to follow suit. The three light rock songs he wrote to Liao Liao became popular, and of course someone will take them to study carefully, trying to find a way to replicate the success, and trying to follow the trend of light rock that Liao Liao set off is also popular.

So, he nodded, stood up with the guitar, and said to Chu Bingbing with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Brother Cao gave me this guitar, and I will keep it with you for now. I won't bring the guitar when I come over tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Cao Zhan, ready to start his performance.

After he left, Cao Zhan took another sip from his water glass, and then said in a low voice: "It seems that you don't even know that your songs have brought a new era to the music scene!"

... ... ...

It was still at eight o'clock, Cao Zhan had already left early, Li Qian said goodbye to Chu Bingbing, and then rode back to the house he rented.

When he came downstairs to his house, Li Qian noticed a figure standing at the entrance of the corridor from a distance. He thought he was waiting for someone, so he didn't pay attention. But when he stopped the car and locked it, and was about to go upstairs, he inadvertently glanced back, but was startled.

"Sister Jingxue?"

In the shadows in front of the building, Wang Jingxue with fluttering long hair nodded slightly and said, "Li Qian, hello!"

"Uh... why are you here this late at night? Looking for someone?" he asked.

Wang Jingxue nodded again, "I'm here to find you!"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment, "Looking for me?... Is there something wrong?"

Wang Jingxue nodded again, "I have something to do!"

Li Qian was stunned again, and then said: "Then... Then let's go up first? Come to sit at home?"

Wang Jingxue nodded again without hesitation, and said, "Okay!"

So Li Qian suppressed the doubts in his heart and led the way ahead.

After entering the room, Li Qian first asked Wang Jingxue to sit down on the sofa, then took out a thermos bottle to pour Wang Jingxue a glass of water, and said, "Sorry, I don't have any drinks here..."

Wang Jingxue nodded, but said nothing.

It wasn't until she was under the light that she looked a little tired.

Well, if you look carefully, you can find that her expression is a little twisted, her eyebrows are slightly frowned from beginning to end, and her fists are clenched tightly, as if she is a little nervous - so Li Qian knew that it seems that she not only has something to do with him, but also has something to do with her. Not too young!

After putting down the thermos bottle, Li Qian moved the small stool and sat down opposite the sofa, and said, "Sister Jingxue, what do you want from me, you can talk about it."

Wang Jingxue nodded.

Then, she took a deep breath and finally looked up.

She was really nervous!

God is sorry, we have known each other for more than ten years, and in my impression, this is the first time Li Qian has seen her nervous!

Then, she said: "Li Qian, I know that you have a special relationship with my sister, but I hope that no matter what you decide to say next, it has nothing to do with Xiaolu, is that okay?"

"Uh...of course!" Li Qian was a little puzzled, but still nodded.

Wang Jingxue nodded, then stood up.

As soon as she stood up, Li Qian had no choice but to stand up too.

Then Wang Jingxue said, "Can you sit on the sofa here?"

Li Qian was completely confused by her actions, so he said "Oh" and sat down.

But Wang Jingxue stood opposite Li Qian.

That's right, she's standing.

Then, she lowered her head and said, "Li Qian, I know that I beat you up when I was young, and I also know that you have never had a good impression of me, and I have never had a good impression of you before, but today I decided to come to you Yes. Because of the group I’m in, there are some problems at present. The development route drawn up by the producer and the company is to take the sexy path, but several sisters in our group are very disgusted, and the producer said, as long as I can get the song from you so we don't have to go the sexy way, he even said that we can develop a development direction based on the song you write..."

Her tone was always steady, as if she was reciting a text, or reading a speech or a self-criticism.

It was only when she said this that she finally raised her head, looked straight at Li Qian, and continued: "I know, you have no obligation to write songs for us, and I don't have the right to ask you for songs. I don't want Xiaolu to get involved in this matter, so I came to see you just to sing you a few songs, just to invite you to sing as a singer, is that okay?"

"Uh..." Li Qian looked at her with some hesitation. After figuring out what happened, it was Wang Jingxue's attitude that made him feel a little unexpected, "As a singer Invitation song?"

Wang Jingxue nodded and said, "Teacher Li Qian, hello! I am singer Wang Jingxue! Can I sing you a song?"
