Liu Jin pushed open the black-painted door of a "Mouse Bar". Before the official opening time, the waiters in the store were cleaning and fiddling with tables and chairs.Liu Jin and Suo Yan greeted the acquaintances and walked inside.Leng Lie has been silently following behind.

"Be careful, there is a step here." Suo Yan's voice became gentle, and he almost asked in his cold ear, "Hot pot, do you like it?"

"I just remembered to ask this now, isn't it a bit late?" He said with a cold smile.

"Tsk, I just suddenly wanted to find an excuse to ask you out to play next time. If you don't like food, eat less later, and I'll take you to eat something delicious when it's done." Suo Yan stepped up the steps and entered A dark corridor, "Be careful, there are no lights here."

"Oh, this is your way of chasing girls!" Leng Lie had already seen a switch where Suo Yan deliberately blocked, and when he continued to slander and walked in, he raised his hand to turn on the switch.

"Damn it!" Liu Jin's voice from deep in the dark corridor ahead, "This is...fuck...there is...a light! I just...almost fell...a somersault!"

"Haha..." Leng Lie and Suo Yan laughed at the same time.

"Tsk, I haven't chased anyone before. If you tell me what you like, I'll try it." Suo Yan raised his hand to block the glare from the spotlight above, and half-closed his eyes to look at Leng Lie.

Leng Lie regretted turning on the light, guessing that he was blushing again, and said, "I haven't been chased by anyone either!"

"Haha..." The two of them laughed again.

At the end of the corridor, Liu Jin opened a small door and slipped in.Suo Yan went along with him coldly. It turned out to be the back door of this bar, leading to a small yard shared by several families.

There are rockery, pools and so on in the small yard, but no one takes care of them and they are in a half-dead state.Leng Lie followed the two through the small courtyard and opened a door, and a spicy and delicious Sichuan-style hot pot smell rushed over his face.

"Xiao Lie!" The white steam gradually dissipated, and at the round table in the hut, a female voice suddenly called out Leng Lie's name.

Leng Lie knew that Mao Mao was there, in fact, he had already guessed that he was about to be screamed, so he stood there stupidly and smiled at the others with a little embarrassment.

Putting aside her chopsticks, Maomao stood up abruptly, her water-red waistless waistcoat and black sequined short skirt shaking so coldly that she couldn't keep her eyes open.When she came to the front, Leng Lie habitually lowered her head slightly, seeing the black checkered socks stretching out the bulges of the fluffy thighs, she suddenly felt a little sad.

The godmother of disco, who was once popular all over the country, is now wearing a Shamat costume, and having a simple hot pot with a group of young men in their 20s who opened a bar and started a business?This style of painting is so amazing.

"Sister Mao Mao!" He greeted with a cold smile.

"This?" The bar owner, Mouse, stood up and scratched his head.

"This is my male god." Suo Yan replied quickly, and patted Leng Lie on the shoulder with a smile.

"This is my buddy, Mouse, and these are the partners of the Mouse Bar," Suo Yan introduced his friend and Leng Lie to each other, and then reached out to shake Mao Mao, completely forgetting that he was in charge of this person 10 minutes ago It's called "yeast hairy fungus", "Hello, senior, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

A group of people chatted and ate homemade hot pot.Suo Yan asked in a low voice while picking up vegetables in Leng Lie's bowl: "You know the godmother and you don't tell me in advance!"

He smiled coldly and said nothing, just gnawed a piece of raw wax gourd.

"I didn't expect you all to know each other!" Maomao spoke first, "The recording of the new song went very well this time, and Xiaolie helped a lot. When the EP is officially released in a while, you must listen to it. Xiaolie's guitar accompaniment is too sweet. God!"

Leng Lie knows that Maomao is habitually promoting her album, which is understandable.But the way of pushing himself by the way made him very uncomfortable.So there was nothing to say, and I could only continue to eat the raw winter melon silently amidst the echoes.

On the other hand, Suo Yan was full of joy and leaned closer to Leng Lie: "Hey, you are still playing music!"

Leng Lie suppressed his laughter, gave up half of the wax gourd, put down his chopsticks, turned his head slightly to look at Leng Lie, and said in a low voice, "Well, I'm still playing the electric hoist, with six strings."

"Do it on purpose!" Suo Yan knew that Leng Lie was implying the stupid things he did when he was a child, so he bumped Leng Lie with his arm, "Then my dream still has a play!"

"What dream?"

"Have a band with the Electric Calabash Boy!"

"What are you two talking about?" Mouse, as the owner of the home court, got up to fill up the beer for everyone, and asked with a smile.

"Tell me that the two of us will form a group in the future, called Calabash Brothers!" Suo Yan put his arms around Leng Leng's shoulders and pulled him into his arms.

Laughing coldly, he threw it away, and poked his elbow under the other's chest: "Who the fuck is with you brother gourd, get away!"

Who doesn't know about the legend of mutual masturbation, this is simply the most naked provocation!

All the young people present were rocking with laughter, but the disco godmother Mao Mao put down her chopsticks with a serious face, and flicked the mouth of the cup with two fingers: "Xiao Lie, don't blame my sister for not reminding you! Live bands are the worst fun these days." , you are suitable to stay in the recording studio and study musical instruments with peace of mind. It’s really good to be a recording studio musician!”

Leng Lie and Suo Yan gradually stopped laughing, listened to Maomao's words, and nodded.

At eight o'clock in the evening, customers in twos and threes in the bar enter the venue.Maomao, who was nestled in the corner, felt chilled seeing the sporadic audience.Leng Lie watched her sniff her nose from time to time, afraid that she would cry out if she didn't pay attention, and she didn't know what to say to comfort her several times.

An era has passed, the passionate era of the live performance with nearly [-] spectators is clearly still in Maomao's mind as if it just happened yesterday, but now he can't find it.

"Remember, don't be a live band!" Before Maomao came to the stage, he tossed the microphone high and caught it firmly, trying to make himself walk onto the stage with a smile on his lips.

The stage space of the bar is very limited, and Maomao has no room to play, and he sings a few hit songs that year with his hands tied.

Leng Lie has never felt that concerts are outdated before, because he feels that music, like poetry, can be passed down through generations and connect different languages ​​and nations, and it is not outdated at all.

But watching Mao Mao struggling to sing and dance on the stage, and a group of young men in the bar below the stage shouting hard, still failed to warm up the atmosphere of the scene. At that moment, I deeply felt that music, or something A kind of music does go out of fashion.

……

Coming out of the bar, Leng Lie's chest feels like a huge rock is blocked, uncomfortable and stuffy.He didn't know how to make himself feel better.

After drinking, Suo Yan couldn't drive Sao Hong and trot, secretly followed Leng Lie and said, "Shall I take a taxi to take you back?"

The lights on the bar street are brilliant, and the explosive rhythm and libretto are nothing compared to Maomao's. Why can one be regarded as a thing to attract business, and the other can destroy the business?

"No, I'll contact you later." Smiling coldly, he waved his hands, turned his head around, and didn't know where he was going for a while.

Suo Yan continued to follow, and the street lamps stretched their shadows very long.When walking side by side, he deliberately turned around to look at the shadows of the two, and gestured with his hands from time to time.

"What are you looking at?" Leng Lie found it funny and turned around to look.

"Hey, Xiao Xiaozi is a few centimeters taller than you!" Suo Yan made a gesture with his thumb and index finger, and smiled triumphantly.

It's good to be carefree alone, looking at Suo Yan's smiling face, he said coldly in his heart.

"Give it to you, lest you turn around and say that I was not serious about chasing you." Suo Yan smiled seriously.

"Okay!" Walking to the intersection, he coldly stretched out his hand to hail a taxi, and said to the driver, "Go to the Hongyun Hotel in the north of the city!"

The driver let out a hey and stepped on the accelerator.

"Going...to a hotel?" Suo Yan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his fingers trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe it, "Are you really going?"

"Hehe..." Smiling coldly, he turned his head to stare at Suo Yan's eyes, blinked vigorously for a while, and secretly praised himself for being able to make such a provocative expression without a teacher.

The last time he asked someone to go to the hotel, it was obviously done by Suo Yan himself, but now he really felt a little embarrassed to hear that he was going to the hotel.Holding back a smile in embarrassment, he looked back at Leng Lie after a while, his eyes full of affection.

He held back coldly all the way, enduring Suo Yan's gaze, just to see his disappointed and shocked expression after getting off the car.Sure enough, the taxi arrived deep in the north of the city, dropped them off at the gate of a small courtyard, and left.It doesn't look like a hotel around at all.

The most noticeable thing is the small third floor behind it, which looks simple in appearance, but reveals a building of "I have money" everywhere.

"This place is remote enough!" Suo Yan gasped in the summer night.

"Hehe," walking ahead Leng Lie, he waved his head at Suo Yan to signal to follow quickly, and then began to explain slowly, "This place used to be the provincial office of a certain farm below, so it was named 'Hongyun Hotel', everyone in the old city of A knows it. Now it has changed its name to 'Zhanpeng Recording Workshop', where I work."

"Ah?" Suo Yan made a sign of the cross on his chest, pretending to be a little grateful, "I really thought I was going to a hotel!"

"Cut!" Seeing Suo Yan's lucky expression coldly, he couldn't help laughing out loud, "I didn't see you being so conservative at all when you played hooligans with my hand this afternoon!"

"Hey," Suo Yan greeted Leng Lie and the security guard at the door and entered the building, "In order to clear up the money that was called a duck before, it's easy for me!"

"Pfft!" Leng Lie couldn't hold back his laughter.

Since Maomao's small and cold performance scene, he has been in a bad mood, and now he is smiling seriously, or the kind that makes him feel better physically and mentally when he smiles.

"Are you back to work so late?" Suo Yan followed Leng Lie up to the rehearsal room on the second floor, turned on the light, and couldn't move his eyes away when he saw the familiar sunset-colored electric guitar in the corner.

"If you don't touch the violin for a while, you can't sleep. I'm staying with a friend recently. He practiced drums so he didn't want to interfere with each other, so he put the violin here." He explained coldly, sat on the high chair, turned on the device, and the volume was higher than the volume. Turn it down a bit during the day, reach for the guitar and get ready to play.

Suo Yan immediately got on top of his obedient brother, and obediently sat on the floor in the corner of the rehearsal room to watch Suo Yan play the piano seriously.
