wind says rain

December 12th, Christmas!

It was unusually cold during the salty white day.

But no snow.

After all, it is a form of moaning for nothing.

Every winter, some people will use: "This year is the coldest year in many years." This sentence describes the degree of cold weather.Little did they know that the next winter would still be the same.

In the Xicheng Bar in Dongtang City, the sound of music was deafening. The DJ on the stage skillfully dialed the buttons in front of him to control the audience, and occasionally looked up at the people who were writhing wantonly on the stage.

On the stage, Liang Mang turned her head and looked around to the melody of the music. There were many people who came today, familiar and unfamiliar, all of them were called by her.But they are all minor supporting roles.But now she couldn't find the "protagonist" in a daze.

Liang Mang pulled over the crazy people and said, "Have you made an appointment with Qi Mu?"

She took advantage of her birthday today as an excuse to ask Qi Mu out, fearing that he would refuse, she made an appointment at the bar where he usually works part-time.

The other party gave her a weird smile and squinted his eyes and said, "Don't worry, my eldest lady, even if I didn't make an appointment with Qi Mu, he would come today. I found out that he works part-time here tonight." Putting his hand around Liang Mang's neck, he said in a softer voice, "Miss Qi will see you today."

After listening to her, Liang Mang opened her hand and straightened his clothes, and said solemnly: "Miss Ben will definitely take him down today, and I called my brother here too. If he refuses to agree to me, I will let my brother beat him up." he."

It's really ambitious words, full of youthful childishness.

When I was young, I always felt like this that everything would develop in the direction I expected, and everything would be beautiful and on schedule, but I didn’t know that things often backfired.

The innocence of youth is one of the few bravery in later life.

The bravery of adults is the secret sadness after making up their minds to give up.

Hurt yourself not others.

Qi Mu's part-time job tonight is from 8:00 p.m. to midnight. He always comes early, but today he was delayed because of school, and it was almost 8:30 when he arrived at the entrance of the bar.He took off the guitar on his back and held it in his hand, walked up the stairs from the other side of the bar entrance to the second floor.It's strange to say that people's ears hurt from the loud music on the first floor, but when you go to the second floor and close the stair door, you will find that this is another world.The second floor is very quiet, the kind of quietness like being in the wilderness in the middle of the night, no... Maybe it's even quieter than there, because there's not even the sound of insects here, it's terrifyingly quiet.

Qi Mu turned on a light, and the light was dim orange. He put the guitar on the table, picked up the remote control of the air conditioner and turned the temperature up, glanced at the pink curtain near the inside and said nothing.At this time, the phone vibrated, and it was a message from the foreman downstairs:

"Amu, are you here?"

Qi Mu didn't reply after reading it, but just stared at the phone screen for 15 seconds and then watched it automatically go black.

The temperature in the room was much higher. Qi Mu took off the black cotton coat outside and wore a hooded sweater of the same color underneath. The silver necklace around his neck was not clearly visible, only a small section of the silver chain could be seen. The men's necklace is obviously a little thin.

He took the guitar bag that had been placed on the entry table before, unzipped the zipper and took out the guitar.A very common wooden guitar, the usual slightly yellowed piano case, if you look closely, you can see that the bridges on the bridge are all slightly yellowed, and the original white is almost invisible.

Glancing in the direction of the curtain again, he lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, set an alarm clock for two hours later, then adjusted the ringtone to the maximum and put the mobile phone screen sticker on the table.Open the door and go down.

The bar is a small two-story building, because the first floor is designed to be very high for the bar below, and the stairs have three corners. When he walked to the second corner, he saw the foreman stomping there anxiously.

"Brother Le." Qi Mu called out to him.

The foreman of the Lexi City bar can also be called the manager, because the real boss hardly cares about business, and is not around at other times except when he comes to drink.

Na Le heard the voice and looked up at him. The lights in the stairs were dim and only a silhouette could be seen. When he got closer, Na Le put away his phone and said:

"Is she still awake?"

"Not yet, I set the alarm clock and let her sleep for a while." Qi Mu said standing side by side with him after going down the last flight of stairs.

Na Le turned to look at him and said, "Let's go, a little girl is here for a birthday party today, and she's been here for a while." He was about to go down when he was about to go down two flights of stairs, but he suddenly thought of something to stop Footsteps continued: "Today is the 25th, isn't it also your birthday, I was so busy that I forgot, what did I say, why did she come here today..."

He wanted to say something but was interrupted by Qi Mu: "Brother Le, get down quickly." After finishing speaking, he passed him and walked straight down.

The first floor is not as noisy as before. The reason for the reservation is the acquaintances who are tired from fighting for a while. Some are sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender, and some are lying on the sofa playing with their mobile phones.

Qi Mu went to the bar to say hello, and the people inside responded with a smile, "Ah Mu" and pushed out a glass of water.

Qi Mu said "thank you" and took a few sips from the cup, stroked his long hair a few times, and there were always a few strands drooping down to poke his eyes.He threw his head back trying to make his hair obey.

After being busy for a while, Na Le walked over to look at his hair and said, "Your hair is really long, why don't you go and straighten it?"

"No." He said, picked up the guitar and walked to the stage.

"This person... can still harm you." Na Le shook his head at his back and said with a smile.

The person at the bar said: "Brother Le, it's not like you don't know Amu, uh... capricious, hahaha..."

"It's just you talking a lot, work hard." Na Lebai glanced at him, sitting on the high chair and looking at the stage.

Qi Mu went to the microphone on the stage, cleared his throat, tried the volume, and gestured OK to the dimming staff behind him.The overall lighting on the first floor became very dark, only the place on the stage was lit, but it was not dazzling, and it was a comfortable brightness.

Qi Mu on the stage plucked the strings skillfully, and the light on it shone on the fingers he was plucking, and he could clearly see the plain ring on the little finger of his left hand.After a pure guitar piece ended, he looked up at the audience, most of the people were dying there.He lowered his head and hooked the corner of his mouth, his hair covered most of his face.The exposed lower half of his face was just right for Liang Mang to see his smile just now.

Liang Mang excitedly pulled the people around him and said, "You... did you see that? Qi Mu just smiled, and he smiled."

The person next to him raised his head from the mobile game, glanced perfunctorily at the stage and responded, "I see, so handsome."

The little girl was still immersed in the beauty attack just now and didn't understand the deep meaning of the other party's words. She clenched her fists and looked at the people on the stage. Song, with a nice voice and a beautiful appearance like a painting, what did Liang Mang think of? He took out his mobile phone and wanted to take a photo to keep and appreciate it later.

The moment she was about to press the camera button, a call came in. She was so angry that she wanted to call someone, but when she saw the caller ID, she knew she didn't dare. It was from her dear brother.

Squeezing his throat, he answered the phone: "Brother, are you here?" The voice was so contrived that he wanted to vomit.

Liang Rui took the phone away, glanced at the number, put it next to his ear again and said, "Mango! Speak well."

"Don't call me Mango, I'm dead!" Liang Mang raged on the other end of the phone.

Liang Rui looked at the people next to him and smiled helplessly, then lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Mango, take it as soon as you see it. We're here. Where are you?"

Liang Mang, who was still immersed in beauty, automatically blocked the "we" he said, told his location and hung up the phone.

Liang Rui put away his mobile phone and said to the people next to him: "Crazy girl, it's always been like this, let's go, let's go in and have a look."

After Liang Mang hung up the phone, he took out his mobile phone again and took several pictures on the stage, sighing while taking pictures: How can there be such a perfect person!Her nympho behavior was seen by Na Le who was sitting not far away.He approached Liang Mang and asked her to delete the photo. After all, she was a little girl who was used to being cooped up at home, and secretly took pictures outside and was caught. This little girl was at a loss for a while, anxious and anxious. Ashamed, I was about to cry.

Na Le, who has seen this kind of thing a lot in bars, doesn't care that you are a little girl, crying may be just a means of escape, he is pressing every step of the way to grab the phone and delete the photos by himself.This move happened to be seen by Liang Rui who walked in.He stepped forward and took Na Le's hand and said, "What are you going to do?"

Liang Rui was nearly a head taller than that Le, full of momentum, seeing his sister being bullied, his voice was a little loud.Immediately, the audience's attention was attracted.

Na Le couldn't break free, so he simply let him hold her, and just stood there quietly looking at Liang Mang without saying a word.

Seeing that he was still staring at his sister, Liang Rui was so angry that he clenched his fist and wanted to swing it up, but was stopped by Qi Mu who came down from the stage.

The scene had an indescribably weird feeling, Liang Rui held Na Le's hand, Qi Mu held Liang Rui's hand, and Liang Mang stood between them with his head bowed.The people around couldn't figure out the situation and dared not go forward for a while.Liang Rui turned his head slightly and glanced at Qi Mu. The two were about the same height, and they looked straight into his eyes.

"let go!"

Qi Mu replied with a half smile: "You give it away!"

The two of them were deadlocked like this.

"Is it so lively?" A voice came from the stairs.The sound of slippers stepping on the wooden floor is very clear in this "war" at this time.

Downstairs was the owner of the No. [-] bar in the west of the city: Qu Yanfan, who was in his twenties and had a charming enough face. He was wearing a black loose sweater with a wide skirt that reached above his knees. He had just woken up. The reason for this is that her long hair was slightly curled, and she didn't deliberately dress up exquisitely. This kind of lazy state took away the soul of the boy downstairs.They all stared at her with straight eyes.

She walked to Qi Mu's side and pulled him to grab Liang Rui's hand and said, "Ah Mu."

Without too many words, Qi Mu let go of his hand.She got the result she wanted, looked at Na Le and said, "What's going on?"

Na Le was about to speak but was interrupted by Liang Mang: "It's none of his business, it's my fault, I broke something, I'm sorry." After speaking, he looked at his brother and begged him to let go, and never let you go It's not her own face that my sister lost, but the Liang family's face.Seeing his younger sister's eyes, Liang Rui frowned and let go of Na Le's hand.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Liang Mang must have done something, but it's not as simple as smashing things. If the ground is clean, you can look in the mirror where the broken things came from.No one bothered to worry about the real reason. Those who came were all people related to the Liang family, and everyone dispersed wisely.

Qu Yanfan approached Liang Mang and said, "Little sister, I'm sorry, the people under my command don't show mercy, so I'll apologize to you on his behalf."

Liang Mang quickly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I will delete the photo." The last sentence was for Na Le.Although Liang Mang was a bit spoiled by his family, he realized his mistake at this time due to the good education he received since he was a child and his own upbringing, and he took the initiative to apologize.

"Today is your birthday, isn't it? In order to make you forget the unhappiness just now, today is my sister's treat, and I wish you a happy birthday too." Qu Yanfan said.

Liang Rui at the side said, "No need, Miss Qu, our Liang family still has some money."

"Brother!" Liang Mang shouted.

Qu Yanfan smiled and leaned closer to her ear and said, "I know that your Liang family doesn't lack this little money, so take it as a little bit of my heart, and treat it as a birthday present for other children's birthdays today, little sister, how about you?" Help my sister accept it for him, okay?"

Liang Mang glanced at Qi Mu behind her and said, "Okay, sister, I'll accept it for him, but you also have to say happy birthday to him for me."

Qu Yanfan stood up straight and smiled at her and nodded.

The people around couldn't understand what the two girls were whispering, they only knew that this "farce" was resolved amicably.

Liang Mang pulled them aside to drink, while Qi Mu and Qu Yanfan talked aside.

Qi Mu: "Where's my phone?"

Qu Yanfan: "Upstairs, the sound is terrible, next time you can change it to something nicer."

Qi Mu nodded and said, "I'm going back first." After speaking, he took the guitar and walked upstairs.Qu Yanfan looked at his back and said in a voice that he could only hear: "Amu, happy birthday!" Na Le came over and leaned on the bar counter and said, "This kid still doesn't want to celebrate his birthday."

Qu Yanfan reached out for a glass of wine, tapped the glass a few times and said, "It's really cold today!" The typical answer was irrelevant.

Qi Mu went upstairs, put on a cotton coat, carried a guitar on one shoulder, and walked out of the bar with a mobile phone. When he reached the door, the mobile phone rang and connected to the call from the delivery man: "Hello, sir, the cake you ordered has arrived."

He was silent for a few seconds and said, "I don't want it anymore, please throw it away for me."

Delivery person: "No? Why not? This cake is very beautiful."

Qi Mu: "I made a mistake."

Deliveryman: "Uh... I think this cake is pretty good, throw it away and waste it, can I give it to someone else?"

Qi Mu: "Yes, thank you."

The delivery man said embarrassedly: "Today is my daughter-in-law's birthday, I didn't order a cake, thank you for this cake, and I wish you a happy birthday!"

This was the first birthday greeting he heard today, from a stranger he had never met.

"Thank you." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and squatted on the side of the road. At some point, it was snowing lightly, and a little bit of snowflakes fell down and landed on him.

The rear window of the car on the opposite side of the road was half rolled down to reveal half of his figure. He looked at the person squatting on the side of the road opposite him, with the corner of the guitar leaning on his back.Under the dim streetlights, the gradually growing snowflakes fell on him, and no matter how beautiful the scene was at this time, it paled in comparison.
