Trainee

Li Qi's clothes and the old-fashioned shoulder bag on his shoulders don't look like celebrities or trainees at all.

"Maybe someone's assistant?"

"Hey, this assistant is also very good-looking, and he has such a good figure!"

"It's a pity that I wear a mask, I don't know how I look like..."

"You care so much, a good figure is enough, just looking at the legs is enough for a year!"

Several girls chattered, and when they talked about the figure of the handsome young man just now, they laughed together again.

Li Qi didn't pay any attention to these things. He couldn't hold other emotions in his head except anger for the time being. Looking at his tender face, his eyes were not subdued. There was still a trace of unwillingness in his drooping eyes, and his eyebrows were wrinkled for a long time. Did not let go.

The bus came soon, and Li Qi got on the bus before the girls came up to ask for their autographs. The girls were amazed by the face of taking off the mask, but there was no chance to come again. After catching up, several people felt somewhat regretful in their hearts.

Li Qi has been in the company's closed training for a while and has not been able to come out. Now he is a little dazed looking at the commercial street by the side of the road, especially when passing by those huge billboards, his eyes stay more.

He leaned his head against the car window, and the eyes reflected in the glass were extraordinarily bright.Seventeen or eighteen years old, still childish, but already showing the heroic spirit of a young man, with a pair of eyes full of ambition and vitality.He stared at the passing posters with complicated eyes. If he could leave a huge poster in such a luminous position, he would definitely not be short of money again, right?And it can still be seen by so many people...to be watched by so many people.

When passing through the city center, there was no exception to the traffic jam. When he looked up, he saw a popular talent show was playing on the large LED screen of Guangshang. The highlights were excerpted and replayed repeatedly. A group of teenagers and girls were sweating and dancing. youth.After waiting for a while, I saw a video of him dancing with his team, but his figure has been deleted completely - or, the lens with his face, has disappeared

Li Qi sneered, put his arms behind his head, closed his eyes and stopped looking.

Sure enough, it still doesn't work...

The hard work of more than two months is like a flashy dream.

Li Qi's house is also in the urban area, but it is one south and one north, and the location is relatively remote. It is surrounded by some old tube buildings, and it is separated from the villa area opposite by a moat. It's a world of difference.

Li Qi walked into the small unit of his home, and as soon as he reached the second floor, he smelled the pungent smell of paint. He frowned, ran up quickly, and his face darkened instantly.A bucket of paint was splashed on the door of his house, and some bloody characters were written in disorder on the side wall and door, all of which were debt collection without exception.

He took out the key a few times before opening the door, the smell after entering the door was not much better than outside, the room smelled of alcohol, bad wine bottles were scattered all over the floor, and a half-open bottle of beer was spilled After some came out, his father was lying on the ground half dead drunk, his clothes were stained by wine and he didn't notice it, his wrinkled shirt was wrapped around his body, his wrinkled face was frowning, he muttered to himself, getting closer Can't hear another sentence.

An hour ago, he was still listening to the company's plan, and he might even be on that glamorous stage, but after only an hour's drive, he became the situation he is now.

The environments on both sides are in sharp contrast, and the gap is so big that it feels like an irony.

His father's mobile phone, which was casually thrown on the ground, rang. Li Qi paused for a moment, but stepped forward to pick it up. He just said "Hello" when he heard a series of questions from the opposite person.

"Mr. Li, what time is it? Why don't you come to class? We have hundreds of violin lessons in one class. You said you have something to do yesterday, so I won't say anything. Why is there something to do today?" The young man came up, and he was rude and angry, and said: "You are an artist, even if you have won an award internationally, you can't make a show in front of us, right? And the award was many years ago, isn't it, we gave it to you." Those who paid for it didn’t learn for nothing!”

"I'm sorry, my dad It's not convenient now."

"What? It's inconvenient?! What are you kidding me, you asked him to answer the phone!" The person on the other side said loudly, "I see, he's drunk again, right?! He's still an artist just like that ...Fah, the word artist is really dirty!"

"I'm sorry." Li Qi said again dryly.

Apart from this sentence, he couldn't explain anything else, he glanced at the floor out of the corner of his eye, his father was still drunk and lying on the floor in a state of embarrassment without any image at all.

"Come on, tell Mr. Li that we won't study anymore, and the tuition fee doesn't have to be refunded. Let Mr. Li save the remaining money to buy wine!" The other side sneered, "My child will not follow him. Knowing what you can learn, you should be yourself first and then teach others!" After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Li Qi's knuckles turned white while holding the phone, his face was hot.

He put the phone back on the table, took a deep breath, lifted his drunken father from the ground, let him lie on the sofa, and wiped his face after hesitation.

It was a face with some vicissitudes and wrinkles, but it could be seen that it used to be elegant, but the high-spirited appearance had changed. Older men did not pay as much attention to maintenance as before, and the cleanliness of the facial features was still there, but this His body is much weaker than before, the hair that was originally neatly arranged was mixed with silver strands and scattered, and the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose are also hanging crookedly behind the ears, the corners of the mouth are tightly pursed, and in his sleep with pain.

How did a violinist who was famous overseas become what he is today?

Li Qi couldn't figure it out, and probably his father couldn't figure it out either, so now he can only immerse himself in the numbness of alcohol to temporarily forget the pain.

Li Qi's appearance resembles his father's, but he has a little more toughness than his father's paleness. It's just this little difference that makes him more difficult to admit defeat than his father, whether it's for this damn life or for fucking In the world, he refused to admit defeat, and he couldn't swallow that breath until the last minute.

Li Qi roughly tidied up the living room, barely able to settle down, his father is still awake, but now is the time when he is most like a normal person, muttering to himself, mixed with a few crying and laughing sounds, not clear daydream.

A father like this is better than the one who loses his temper with a gloomy face when he is awake.

Li Qi took a cold shower by himself, returned to his single bed with wet hair, and lay down on his single bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling unwilling.

Sometimes he thinks about his short childhood. It was before he was ten years old. His family was not like this. At least in his memory, his family was harmonious and his relationship was good. His father was even more gentle and elegant. famous violinist.

But then my father failed and never got up again, but he still dreamed of being a musician, and then he became what he is now.

Drunk and dreaming, unwilling to wake up.

Li Qi also moved here from the other side of the river when he was a child. There were not a few valuable things left at home, and his father’s violin is probably only an empty shell. Here, there are only those flowers on the wall. Only the green posters and a handful of photos can tell that this is a room where a young man lives.

The posters posted in the bedroom are a popular combination at the moment. They are painted with gothic makeup and feel very cool, but if you look closely, you can see that they are used to cover the cracked wall behind, so they are pasted in a mess. rules.

The photos are well preserved, but they seem to have been posted for several years. There are a few family photos covered by posters, half of which are covered, and the remaining half are young him and his father. The whole family is dressed in exquisite workmanship. He's wearing a red bow tie, and he's grinning, and doesn't care if he's missing a front tooth.

Li Qi quickly glanced over and landed on another photo. It was when he was still living in a big house on the opposite bank. piano.

He lay on the bed and looked at it for a while, then suddenly stretched out his fingers and gestured in the air. His fingers were long and slender, but they were a pair of hands suitable for playing the piano.

****

Li Qi rested at home all night, and when he got up early the next morning, his father had already gone out. He thought for a while, took out a few banknotes from the envelope containing the money, and put the rest on the coffee table in the living room superior.

He took out his phone and glanced at it. There was a greeting text message from his previous manager, Sister Lin. This manager took good care of him. Li Qi was also selected and recommended by her to participate in the draft competition. She even introduced Li Qi A few short-term jobs, Li Qi replied briefly.The rest was a message from Xia Le, asking him how the game was going, and a cute little guy holding two balls of pink color in his hands to cheer.

Xia Le and him were childhood friends, and the two of them were able to wear a pair of trousers since they were young, but this was only limited to the first ten years. When they graduated from high school, the head teacher was serious for three years. mood.Ordinary people just tore up a few books and threw a few stacks of test papers to enjoy themselves, and then they would release the emotions in their hearts. As soon as Xia Le was released, he released his true self. Unable to suppress the boyish feelings in his heart, he dragged Li Qi ran to the roof to confess.

Li Qi's mood at that time was very complicated.
