From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 78 Excuses
"Yunqian, is this the secret base you mentioned?"

I parked the car in front of the warehouse, Xia Qing looked at the warehouse, then at me, and asked, "Could it be that...?"

The corners of my mouth raised, Yue said: "That's right, it's what you think, I'll take you in and have a look."

After getting off the car, I took out the three keys, opened the lock in front of the gate of my dream, and pushed hard.I quickly found the switch by the door and turned on the light. Finally, the dark warehouse became much warmer, and the ground was clean and tidy.

Sure enough, as I expected, Wan Shihao and Li saw that the four of them had already tidied up the warehouse these days. I don't know where they got a set of jazz drums to put in the middle.Similarly, Shen Yu has already moved his keyboard to the warehouse and put it in order, and now he only needs electric acoustic guitar, bass, microphone, stereo and power amplifier.

My heart was touched, and I immediately shouted to Xia Qing who had just got off the car: "Xia Qing, come here quickly, come and take a look!"

Xia Qing trotted to my side, she looked at these things in a daze, and finally spit out: "This feeling is so familiar, it seems to be back in college, Yun Qian, this place is really good."

"Well, so, I call this place "the place where dreams start"!" I said firmly, and unconsciously lit another cigarette.

"Where Dreams Begin...Dreams..."

Xia Qing repeated this sentence repeatedly in her mouth, and I know that she was somewhat touched. Our band once had such a dream, "Yunji band, never leave!" After graduation, everyone insisted on playing together and could Like those well-known bands in China, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years...

Unexpectedly, the reality is so real.It's not that everyone doesn't love music anymore...it's because they can't help themselves for life. Such a dream is hidden in the mirror after all.

No one thought that the performance at the graduation ceremony would be the last and the only performance since that day with the most people.

"Yunqian, do you still remember what you said?"

Xia Qing walked to the electronic piano, stroked the keys and said to me: "Tell me, when your rehearsal room is ready, invite me to come over and sing a few songs. The company is so busy, I don't know if I will have time then. It’s better to hit the sun than choose the day, let’s do it now! If I can get away at that time, I’ll do it again!”

"Okay! Do you play or I play?"

"Let me play it!" Xia Qing fiddled with her hair and smiled softly.

After I went to connect the plug of the keyboard to the electricity, I found a stool and sat in front of the drum set, holding two drumsticks and waiting. As soon as Xia Qing started playing and singing, I would beat the rhythm for her.

"I'm ready." Xia Qing nodded to me, and I tapped the hi-hat knowingly.

After playing the prelude to Xia Qing, he sang "Excuse" affectionately according to the chords with his fingers: "Flipping through our photos, the missing is faintly visible. Last winter, we smiled sweetly..."

I followed the rhythm and hummed softly with my mouth. I don't know why she sang the song "Excuse" at this time. Maybe she has some deep meaning, or maybe she just wants to sing.

"Even if I don't understand, can you forgive me? Please don't take the breakup as your request. I know that insisting on leaving is an excuse for your injury. Please turn around. I will accompany you until the end; even if there is no result , I can also bear it, I know your pain, it is my promise, you said you gave me indulgence, silence is because of tolerance, if you want to go, please remember me..." This is a sad song, two verses The chorus is over, Xia Qing is still playing the chords, I can see a little crystal from the corner of her eyes.

I probably understood the meaning Xia Qing conveyed to me with this song, so I beat the drum set with all my strength.She probably wants to use the content of the song to tell me: "If one day, one of us no longer loves each other, we must remember to tell each other, and then forget each other!"

.........

After the song "Excuse", Xia Qing sang a few more songs that we rehearsed at school. This warehouse and this period of time belonged only to me and her, and no one else disturbed me.

In the evening, I took Xia Qing to a Japanese restaurant near the city center for dinner. I was about to pay the bill, but Xia Qing paid in advance.She said I don't want to argue with her, knowing that I've been having a hard time recently, it's her fault, and she asked me to go back early and return the car to my friend, and don't drive such a good car next time, in case it gets scratched It's not easy to explain.

I laughed dumbfounded, and a warm current surged in my heart.After sending Xia Qing downstairs to her house, I didn't dare to go in. I didn't drive back to my residence in Osmanthus Alley until I watched her disappear from my sight.

Suddenly remembered something, I parked the car on the side of the road, and sent a message to the band group: "Old Wan, where did you get the jazz drum set in the warehouse?"

"Yunqian, the four of us bought it from a junior in the school and club. He just bought a new drum. This set is cheap and less than 2000. We can use it first!" Wan Shihao replied almost instantly.

"It turned out to be like this. I went to the warehouse in the afternoon, and I said why a set of drums came out. I played for a while, and it felt okay."

"Haha, I found a treasure." Guo Kai replied below.

"Well, let's not talk about it. When I buy an electric guitar with Teacher Cai, we will try it. You have worked hard these days. You have been busy cleaning the warehouse. I am too busy at work. Tomorrow the company For the anniversary celebration, I don’t think there will be much time in the next few days.”

"It's a small matter, Yun Qian, just wait for the surprise. We'll clean it up tomorrow, so that you'll be amazed when you go next time." Chang Yang also popped up in the group.

"Well, thank you all."

After sending this message, I fastened my seat belt and drove towards Osmanthus Alley.Today is a relatively ordinary day. Life doesn't have too many surprises, and it doesn't give me too much fear.

Everything went smoothly, as if following the direction of the script.

I parked the car in the lane, opened the door of the house, it was pitch black inside, the girl Su Mengyuan had already left.

I lay on the sofa with Miaomiao in my arms, and I sent a message to Su Mengyuan: "Thank you, Su Mengyuan, I'm home, can you come and drive the car or should I drive to your garage?"

"Hey, you're back from a date so soon! How's the result? I thought you'd spend the night outside tonight and not come back."

She still didn't forget to tease me first, and then replied: "Let the car go to you first, I'm already back to school."

"Cough, it's not big or small, I'm not as nasty as you think. All right, let me know when you come back and drive away. Anyway, I'm very happy today. I've settled down with Xia Qing..."

I lit a cigarette and felt happy.Looking at the phone screen, Su Mengyuan replied with a word "oh" after a long time.I wondered what kind of medicine this girl took again.

Tomorrow's company anniversary event, even if there are no clients, I guess I will have to be busy. Tonight, I just want to rest early and not think about anything.
