The Third Rose

Chen Xingze held the erhu in his left hand and the guitar in his right, standing by the window in a daze.

A few meters ahead, a man and a woman were arguing happily.

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the music winter camp that Wu Xingzhi signed up for Chen Xingze started.Chen Xingze followed dozens of people to the deep mountain resort by bus.Ice and snow, isolated from the world.

Ensemble lessons were arranged every day at the winter camp, and Chen Xingze was divided into a group with a folk music girl and a guitar guy.There will be a report performance at the end of the winter camp, and each group must choose its own repertoire.Now the folk music girl and the guitar guy are arguing about this matter.

The folk music girl wants to choose soothing music, while the guitar guy wants to show passionate flamenco, and the two are fiercely competing.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the two were just arguing over who should be the lead performer.Relaxing tunes are more suitable for folk music as the main theme, while flamenco must be played with the guitar as the main theme.Because the organizer of the winter camp is a well-known music academy, famous teachers will participate in the final report performance, so everyone worked extra hard.

"Tell me! What tune to use!" The fierce folk music girl and the guitar guy couldn't get a result, so she turned to Chen Xingze, hoping to find foreign aid.

Shocked by the roar, Chen Xingze raised his hand holding the instrument, put on a gesture of surrender, and said sincerely: "I'll do whatever I want, the two of you decide, I'll accompany you all with all my heart."

Both the folk music girl and the guitar guy were very satisfied with his attitude, and turned around to start the second half.Chen Xingze felt that they would not be able to discuss for a while, so he leaned the instrument against the wall and left first.

Before the first lunar month, the resort was sparsely populated and was almost booked out by the winter camp, and the sound of tinkling musical instruments could be heard everywhere.

After walking around for about twenty minutes, Chen Xingze went back, and the folk music girl and the guitar guy hadn't finished arguing.Chen Xingze went over and said, "It's really not good, you guys guess the punch."

Folk music girl: "Guess what punch! Not professional at all!"

The guitar man also echoed, "That's right!"

Chen Xingze sighed, and glanced at the piano next to him from the corner of his eye, thinking of a plan.He sat down on the piano bench and said, "Why not, let's get some professional ones. How are your ears?"

Folk music girl: "Music theory level five!"

Guitar man: "I'm in grade six!"

Folk music girl: "You repeat the grade!"

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel." Chen Xingze acted like coaxing a child, "Then let's listen to the chords, and the one who makes a mistake first shouldn't argue with the other party, okay?"

The folk music girl and the guitar guy looked at each other.

"alright."

Finally, after listening and spinning for a long time, the guitarist made a slip of the tongue and missed the opportunity.

The folk music girl happily chose "The Street Where the Wind Lived", with the erhu as the main part, the piano as the supplement, and the guitar as the supplement.

The guitarist looked up to the sky and sighed.

Because the melody of the original song is relatively simple, after discussion, they decided to make a variation to increase the difficulty.Chen Xingze was very afraid that they would quarrel if they disagreed, so he was cautious in every meeting.

Fortunately, although these two people have nothing to do, they just choke on me and choke on you, but the progress is going smoothly.

It went a little too far afterwards.Three days later, when Chen Xingze came to the practice room, he was shocked to find that the folk music girl was beating the back of the guitar man's hand with her small fist, and the atmosphere was pink.

Chen Xingze: "..."

The world of art is so free and unrestrained.

Ever since the folk music girl and the guitar guy got together, they have shown affection every day, because the teacher who leads the winter camp is a foreigner, and he is very open to such incidents, and deliberately booed at the dinner party, and the folk music girl was amused by the guitar guy. flowery.

Chen Xingze watched enviously from behind.

He also wants to find a boyfriend, he also wants to fall in love...

But even if we talk about it, can they be as aboveboard as the folk music girl and the guitar guy?

Chen Xingze was a little worried and left the meeting early.

Back in the quiet room, Chen Xingze was lying on the big soft bed, upset, he took out his cell phone and sent Mi Sheng a text message——

On the dark path, Mi Sheng was groping forward.The cold wind was biting, and he lifted the down jacket on his body vigorously, trying to cover his face as much as possible.

It was already dark, and the crew should have finished their day's work at this time, but Mi Sheng was sent back to run errands, just because one of his subordinates said something wrong in the crew.

This afternoon, the naive and stupid new assistant Wang Ru in his studio, when chatting with other staff members, blatantly said that the male number one is not as handsome as his boss.As a result, it was spread by good people, and the costume of the male number one was accidentally forgotten at the previous location in the evening, and Mi Sheng was called to help get it back.

"...Ugly people make mischief." Mi Sheng stepped on the snow with one foot shallow and the other shallow, cursing and walking for more than half an hour before returning to the shooting location.After picking up the clothes, he returned as quickly as possible, but the crew evacuated anyway.He could only find a local inn to stay for one night.The inn was extremely shabby, the air conditioner didn't work well, and there was air leaking everywhere. Mi Sheng, who was always very clean, didn't even wash his face this time. He was lying on the bed in a down jacket wrapped in a quilt, praying that the next day would come soon.

Just then, a text message from Chen Xingze came.

Mi Sheng took out his mobile phone from his warm clothes.

--Are you occupied?

Mi Sheng replied.

——No, what's the matter?

——It’s okay, I just want to chat with someone.

Mi Sheng was so cold that he couldn't sleep anyway, and maybe talking to someone could distract him.So he changed his position and pulled the phone back into his clothes.

——What are you talking about?

——May I ask...do you have a boyfriend?

Mi Sheng raised his delicate eyebrows.

Boy friend?

There are quite a few male friends with benefits.

He originally planned to reply like this, but just after typing, the previous photo of Chen Xingze suddenly appeared in his mind.

Peach Blossom and Boy.

In two or three months, Chen Xingze had poured out all his emotional experience to Mi Sheng.And Mi Sheng, an old fritter, didn't reveal anything about himself.

In Mi Sheng's eyes, Chen Xingze is just a silly little kid. He has tried to sabotage his yearning for beautiful love many times - just like now.But in the end they relented.

--Yes, I have.

--real?What kind of person?

- very nice person.

——Specifically?

Mi Sheng recalled that when he was Chen Xingze's age, he often fantasized about his future lover.

——Handsome, gentle, rich and tasteful, he will give me presents every Christmas.

"Haha." One sentence made goosebumps all over his body, Mi Sheng laughed, he actually had this kind of dream.

——Then your boyfriend is so perfect, how long have you been together?

— for many years.

This time Chen Xingze's reply was a little slower, Mi Sheng thought that he might not want to talk anymore, and was about to go to bed when suddenly the phone vibrated again.

——Do you think it is possible for people like us to be happy?

Mi Sheng couldn't help sneering, "Little kid is just a kid, he talks about happiness every day." Just as he was about to reply, another message came in.

Mi Jie urged him to pay.

My father was about to have an operation, and my sister, who usually didn't want to pay attention to me, had to contact him.

"Money, money, money..." Mi Sheng snorted, and said to himself leisurely while replying to the message, "Little friend, this is life, grow up quickly."

Chen Xingze lay on the bed, waiting nervously.

The dinner party was over, and a bonfire party started in the yard. Chen Xingze heard someone singing with a guitar playing.Although in the ice and snow, the performers are not at their best, but the joyful mood can still be conveyed.

The phone rang.

Chen Xingze raised his head suddenly, and Mi Sheng only replied two words——

"of course."

The performers outside the house sang to a climax, and Chen Xingze could hear it clearly.

When it's love

(when love is strong)

Yeah, you say them out-loud those words

(You speak your heart out loud)

They ever go away

(Those words never fade away)

They live on, even when we're one

(Even if we're all gone, they'll be here till the end of the world)

Chen Xingze's eyes were red, and he held the phone tightly, shaking so hard.He buried his face in the pillow, took a deep breath, and smelled the fresh laundry detergent, like Taoyuan fine wine, which made people intoxicated.

The door was knocked suddenly.Chen Xingze jumped up.

"Who?"

No one responded, Chen Xingze thought it was the teacher who asked him to participate in group activities, wiped his eyes quickly, got up and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Hao stood in front of him with a big sports bag on his back.

Chen Xingze was stunned and didn't respond for a long time. Lu Hao imitated his previous movements and stretched out his hand to scrape Chen Xingze's face.

"How about it?"

Chen Xingze was dumbfounded, "Why are you here?"

Lu Hao: "Why can't I come, the resort is yours."

Chen Xingze still didn't understand what happened, Lu Hao punched him on the shoulder, "You are stupid!"

Chen Xingze finally laughed. He grinned, gestured behind his hand, and said, "You're still stepping on the background music, I thought you were making a movie."

Lu Hao: "Hahahaha!"

Chen Xingze welcomed Lu Hao into the room, and when he passed by, he saw Lu Hao wearing the pair of basketball shoes he gave him.Chen Xingze closed the door, and Lu Hao was already lying on his bed in large characters.

Chen Xingze went over and kicked him.

"Coat off."

"You're obsessed with cleanliness..." Lu Hao muttered as he took off his coat, and under the thick down jacket was a black sweater. Because of the squeeze of the coat, the sweater stuck to his body, outlining a clear outline.

Chen Xingze found it very pleasing to watch him undress.

what……

Stop it.

Chen Xingze leaned on the table, facing Lu Hao.

"Seriously, why are you here?"

"It's all about vacation."

"Is your family here?"

"No, my mother sent it to me and left."

"Your mother didn't ask why you came?"

Lu Hao sat on the bed, looked lower than Chen Xingze, and looked at him with raised eyes.

"Why, you don't want me to come?"

"...I didn't say I didn't want to, have you booked the room yet?"

When it came to the room, Lu Hao remembered something, and said angrily: "This building is all booked by your people. If I want to live, I can only live in the opposite one. It's too far away..." He said while sneaking a glance Chen Xingze, "You let me live here."

Chen Xingze crossed his arms and said with a smirk: "Whatever, you can live if you are not afraid of losing your virginity."

Hearing that he agreed, Lu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, lay back and stretched.

"Tch, ghosts are afraid of you."
