South of Chutian

The performance of "Long Love" started at 07:30. At [-]:[-], Tang Heng took the money and walked into the lounge on the second floor.

"Put these here first, and tell me if it's not enough."

"Fuck," the boss grabbed the paper bag on the table and weighed it, "How much is this?"

Tang Heng: "Three thousand."

"Enough, enough, enough! I really opened my eyes," the boss sighed, and said with emotion, "The cost of chasing girls is so high now?"

Tang Heng didn't answer his words, just nodded and said: "Then I'll go down."

"Hey—Xiao Tang!" The boss chased after him, "One more thing, have you signed up for Zhou Heiya's competition?"

"Reported, what's the matter?"

"Let me tell you a gossip, don't spread it," the boss closed the door, mysteriously, "There are several record companies in Beijing who are paying attention to this competition. Compare it, you may have a better chance."

Tang Heng was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Really?" The boss has always been open-mouthed, and his words are unreliable.

"Why lie to you, my buddy's company has sent people to Wuhan. In the past few years, you also know that more and more live houses have been opened. If there are business opportunities, they are all watching."

Tang Heng thought for a while and asked, "Are they here to sign the band?"

"That's what you mean," the boss patted Tang Heng on the shoulder, "I think you have something to play."

What drama, signing a contract, making a debut, being an artist?

Tang Heng smiled and shook his head: "Okay, I see, thanks."

"Really, Xiao Tang," the boss said seriously, "you have the potential."

Tang Heng didn't say anything, just waved his hand and went out.

Tonight, a band from Xi'an came to "Long Love", singing in dialect—very popular in recent years.Jiang Ya and An Yun had already arrived, and they were both sitting in booths. Tian Xiaoqin also came with them.

Jiang Yachong waved to Tang Heng, Tang Heng walked over, greeted Tian Xiaoqin, and sat down opposite An Yun.

"What's going on tonight?" Jiang Ya asked strangely, crossing her legs. "I've seen many girls get in for free, and this is the first time I've seen a boy for free."

Tang Heng glanced at him, but said nothing.

"It's true," An Yun was chatting with Tian Xiaoqin, and raised her head when she heard this, "What's the matter with Old Bu, bent?"

Lao Bu is the boss of "Long Love". He used to be nicknamed A Bu when he was in the band, but now he is Lao Bu.

Tang Heng said, "There are a lot of people here today."

"No, look, there are a lot of people wearing white shirts," Jiang Ya said with a rather regretful look, "I would have worn them if I had known earlier, alas, it will save the entrance fee."

An Yun sneered: "Forget it."

"Why," Jiang Ya glared at her, "I can't wear it anymore?"

"White shirts should be tall and thin to look good."

"Fuck, you're discriminating!" Jiang Ya tugged at her T-shirt, "Besides, I'm not fat, am I? Tang Heng? We people in Inner Mongolia are all of this size!"

Tang Heng glanced at his phone, it was 07:30, and Li Yuechi would finish class in two hours.

"Tang Heng, criticize!"

"Oh," Tang Heng said absently, "You're not fat."

Jiang Ya said angrily: "I'll go buy a shirt tomorrow, you two will wait for me... hey," he suddenly lowered his voice, and touched Tang Heng with his elbow, "Look at that."

Tang Heng followed his gaze, and immediately understood which "that" he was talking about—after all, Jiang Ya couldn't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth.

He was talking about a girl standing on the edge of the dance floor in front of them.The girl was tall and slender, with long black hair and a sequined dress wrapped around her body. Reflected by the colorful lights of the bar, her whole body shone brightly.

"Yes." Jiang Ya squinted her eyes, watching intently, "And it seems that he came alone, please help me to see, can't you?"

Tang Heng looked away: "How the hell can you see this clearly." The edge of the dance floor was crowded with people, men and women mixed together.

"Hey," Jiang Ya drank the beer in the glass and wiped his mouth, "I'll get to know you."

The band took the stage, the performance began, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

Jiang Ya could no longer see the figure, while An Yun and Tian Xiaoqin were crooked in the booth, head to head and biting their ears. I don't know what An Yun said, which made Tian Xiaoqin chuckle from time to time.

After listening to two songs, Tang Heng felt that he sang mediocrely, not interesting.

He was a bit bored and sipped his juice - originally planned to order a glass of dark beer, but thinking that Li Yuechi didn't seem to like him drinking, he changed it to apple juice.Lao Bu is really a black-hearted vendor. The menu says freshly squeezed apple juice, but no matter how you drink it, it tastes like a cheap drink.

The noise in the bar made Tang Heng a little irritable.strangeness.In the past, when he was idle and bored, he often came to listen to music alone, and he was quite happy by himself. Why is he completely out of interest today?And he always felt that there were a lot of couples today. There didn't seem to be so many before. Could it be that it's getting colder and everyone started signing up for groups to keep warm?

Glancing at the phone, it was only [-]:[-].He wanted to send a text message to Li Yuechi, but he held back. After all, Li Yuechi was in class, so he probably didn't have time to reply to the text message.And what to send?I can't say that you don't have to go to class and come to "Long Love" to accompany me.

Saying "I miss you very much" is a bit hard to say.

"Hey, baby!" There was a sweet fragrance coming from behind, Jiang Ya sat down and put her arms around Tang Heng's shoulders, "Daddy is back to accompany you!"

Tang Heng frowned and pushed him away: "What's wrong with you!"

"Hey, sister's perfume." Jiang Ya was very excited, "Let me tell you, I need my mobile phone number, and I have also found out the major of the school. It is at the entrance of the street!"

"Oh."

"And who in your family——is still a classmate."

Tang Heng kicked Jiang Ya under the table.

Jiang Ya shook her head, realizing that she had slipped her tongue: "Uh...that..."

Fortunately, Tian Xiaoqin and An Yun had a heated chat and did not pay attention to them.

Tang Heng said in a low voice, "Take it easy fucking."

"I'm sorry, I forgot just now," Jiang Ya also said in a low voice, "He's from the Chemistry Department of Normal University, Yanyi, maybe Li Yuechi still knows him."

"Oh," Tang Heng was not interested, "You and Lulu broke up?"

"almost."

"Jiang Ya," Tang Heng scolded, "you can show off."

"If the new one doesn't come, the old one won't go." Jiang Ya chuckled.

Tang Heng sat for a while longer, and at 08:30, the crowd was already dancing wildly. Those who drank too much, those who danced were high, and those who sang were hoarse. The crowd was like liquid, flowing everywhere.

Tang Heng was a little breathless and said, "I'll go out for a while."

Jiang Ya was holding the mobile phone to send text messages, probably with the beautiful woman just now, and the white light on the screen reflected his wicked smile.

"Oh, go ahead," Jiang Ya didn't look up, "By the way, bring me a pack of cigarettes, I want Marlboro, black box!"

Tang Heng said "um", got up and walked out of the bar.

Pushing open the glass door, only to find that large gray-white dark clouds gathered in the night sky, dropping the sky very low like lead blocks.No wonder he felt suffocated, it turned out to be raining.

Tang Heng walked into the tobacco and liquor store across the street and bought a box of black Marlboro.This store is one of the few places where you can buy authentic Marlboro. Although the price is extremely high, they don't care.

Tang Heng paid the money and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered something and stopped in his tracks.

There were two rows of domestic cigarettes stacked neatly on the glass counter. Tang Heng looked down and asked, "Which one is better to smoke?"

"Hey, each has its own taste," the proprietress and Tang Heng are also acquaintances, and joked, "Why, you want to learn to smoke? My sister will give you a pack."

"No... I'll buy it for a friend."

"What does your friend usually smoke?"

"Huangguoshu, Hongtashan."

"It's all cheap, you can taste the good and the bad," the proprietress smiled, "You can choose."

In the end, Tang Heng bought a soft pack of Zhonghua for 60 yuan.He didn't know if Li Yuechi had ever smoked this kind of cigarette, probably not, after all, the price was there.

He thought again, in fact, this is not good.Why do you take the initiative to buy cigarettes for others? Smoking is harmful to health.But since the other party is Li Yuechi, I can't control so much, how can I put it, it's a good thing Li Yuechi doesn't take drugs...

Tang Heng put the cigarettes in his pocket and pushed the door out, only to find that it had started to rain.

A girl was standing at the door of the store, as if she was sheltering from the rain. It was the one Jiang Ya had struck up a conversation with just now.When she got closer, Tang Heng realized that she was very thin and fair-skinned. Although she was heavily made up, she could see that her facial features were very delicate.

She shook the soot, and suddenly turned her head to look over: "Are you Tang Heng?"

Tang Heng froze for a moment: "Yes."

"Hello," she held out her hand generously, "I've seen your band perform."

Tang Heng shook hands with her and said, "Thank you."

"I'm from the school opposite yours, you can call me A Si, the temple's temple."

Tang Heng nodded, thinking with some surprise, this name is not common.

"My full name is Wu Si, because I was born in Tanzhe Temple. At that time, my mother went to offer incense, and unexpectedly gave birth prematurely... Well, these are not important," she smiled to herself, and stretched out her hand A strand of long hair brushed behind her ears, "I wanted to go to Han University to find you, but I ran into you here."

Tang Heng looked at her: "Are you looking for me?"

"Well," Wu Si threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it, "I heard from Pan Peng that you and Li Yuechi have a good relationship."

"..." Pan Peng?She knew Pan Peng?

"It's like this," Wu Si said softly, "Li Yuechi is my boyfriend - used to be."
