From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 8
I don’t know how many times I have to face zero in my life. I hope that every time you return to zero is the beginning of the next glory.

That's right, I'm at zero again.

We are always faced with all kinds of beginnings, endings, and new beginnings. Sometimes it is over before there is even glory, which interprets me truly.

I thought it was still early, so I went to school and came to the campus where I had lived for 4 years. For the first time, I felt so strange.

After graduation, my identity is different, and my sense of belonging is gone. My current sense of belonging has been transferred to the rental house in Osmanthus Lane, which is small but real.

I just walked aimlessly on the small road on the campus. On the way, I met some students from the former clubs. They greeted me in surprise. I exchanged a few words with them, and then left.

I took out my mobile phone and called Zhou Wen, "Hey, Ah Wen, are you out of class today? I'm back at school, see you in the cafeteria later..."

Zhou Wen is my junior, and we got to know each other during the rehearsal for the New Year's Day party on campus the year before last. At that time, the skit he performed made the audience hold their bellies and laugh out loud.

According to the original plan, I just want to come to the old school, remember everything here, and not disturb anyone.

Soon, I met Ah Wen on the way to the cafeteria. Ah Wen invited me to have a big meal in the cafeteria. He said that I am now an outsider, and he will be the host when I return to school, so don’t be polite to him.

We chatted a lot, boasting about the big and small cowhide, but unfortunately there is no wine...otherwise we can sit in the cafeteria all night, this is the last time to relax before going to work tomorrow!

When I took the Metro Station from University City to Dalang Station, it was only after 6 o'clock, and the sky was already dark. In mid-October, the southern sky in late autumn was so dark that it was too dark to prevent.

As soon as I opened the door of my house, I immediately picked up Meow Meow who ran to my feet and screamed a few times, fearing that it would accidentally slip out.

The sweet-scented osmanthus tree outside the yard was rustling by the strong wind. I put down Meow Meow, filled its lunch box with cat food, and walked to the yard.I turned on the flashlight of my phone as a flashlight, and took a picture of the flower pot. The tulip bulbs finally made new progress. I saw sprouts, very short, not even two millimeters in length, at least they were still alive.

I was overjoyed, and remembered that I hadn't watered it for a few days, so I picked up a water spray bottle and made an artificial rainfall on the flower pot. I really look forward to what it will look like in a month.

At this time, I received a reminder on WeChat on my mobile phone. I clicked to read it. It was a voice message from Xia Qing. I didn’t expect that the photo I took for her last time would only be replied now. I clicked on the voice message without hesitation. I really want to Knowing what Xia Qing would say, I only heard Xia Qing's slightly tired voice from the microphone: "Yun Qian, let's meet and talk, I have something to talk to you..."

I didn't expect that she would just skip the last photo and not mention it, but would like to ask me for something... But what can she call me for, I immediately replied in voice: "Well, where will we meet? I'll be right over."

"It's Wanda Plaza near your home, on the second floor of the Simple Cafe."

"it is good!"

Xia Qing knew that my rented house was near the Dalang subway station. I mentioned it to her, but I didn't mention the specific location.

After putting down the phone, my heart was full of curiosity and nervousness, and I scolded myself for not being up to date. We have been together for four years and we are very familiar with each other, so there is nothing to be nervous about.

Speaking of it, I really failed. In the past four years, Xia Qing and I have eaten alone, drank alcohol, drank coffee, etc. many times, but the two of us get along like the most innocent friends. My inner thoughts are becoming more and more impure, and it is no longer the feeling that I had when I was a student.

After drying my hair, I hurriedly grabbed a middle-parted hairstyle with my hands, and shaved off a slightly longer beard before going out.

Wanda Plaza is not far from Osmanthus Lane, less than 3 kilometers away.I hurriedly walked to the small intersection and stopped a taxi. The road was a bit congested. I was afraid of being late, so I checked out and got off the bus when the distance was 1 kilometer, and scanned a shared bicycle.

After arriving at the "Simple Cafe", the waiter enthusiastically asked me how many people there are. There are a lot of customers tonight, so I can arrange a seat for me. I said I was looking for someone, and then I went up to the second floor.

The decoration style on the second floor is modern and simple, with some European-style atmosphere. Once you enter, you will feel tranquility, which can calm some impetuous people under the influence of the environment.

Therefore, this "simple coffee shop" has become the first choice for office workers, white-collar workers, and couples near the Wanda business district.

Xia Qing is sitting by the window. She has changed a bit. There have been obvious changes in makeup, temperament, and outfits. Now she looks very mature, more fashionable, revealing the charm of a woman's intellectuality, but I know that as soon as I get on the stage, that summer love will immediately change back.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting...Long time no see!"

I walked up to Xia Qing and sat down to look at her. Xia Qing smiled at me, and I continued: "You have changed a lot... I almost didn't recognize you."

Xia Qing smiled slightly, brushed her long hair parted in the middle with her hand, and sighed: "Yeah, everyone has changed a lot after graduation, and it feels like you talk less than before... By the way, why do you have big hair?" sweaty?"

"There's a traffic jam, I'm afraid you'll wait too long, I ran here!"

I took the paper towel that Xia Qing handed me, and wiped the sweat overflowing from my forehead, "Xia Qing, I'm so sincere! Have you been moved! Haha..."

"Tch, I just said that you talk less, so it's not serious."

Yes, Xia Qing and I used to joke with each other and make fun of each other, but after graduation, many things we did when we were students have become indifferent with less interaction.

"Hello! Sir, ma'am, what would you like to drink?"

A waitress came up to us and asked politely.

"A latte with sugar and an Americano, thanks!"

After the waiter left, I said to Xia Qing: "If... your taste hasn't changed, you still like to drink American style."

Others will change, but this will not change, I didn't expect you to remember..."

Xia Qing looked a little sad, I didn't know what to say, so I just picked up a topic, "Haha...Your black waist skirt is really good, um, mature...fashionable...intellectual, you look like a female star!"

"You don't come here, and you use me again. By the way, Yunqian, there is something I want to talk to you about, and see what you want. If you don't want to, I won't force you..."

"Tell me first!" I knew that this was the purpose of Xia Qing's appointment with me, and the topic began, and the waiter also brought the coffee at this time.

"Well, Yunqian, it's like this. I have a few music festival performances at the end of the month. The company's guitarist has something to go abroad. I have communicated with the company. These songs are not very difficult. The company is willing to let me invite one of the previous bands. Guitarist instead, if the performance of the music festival is not bad, the company may consider signing a long-term contract... Regardless of whether the contract can be signed in the end, the company will settle the appearance fee for these few performances, this is also an opportunity, why don't you give it a try!"

"Then do you want me to go... Xia Qing."

I put down the coffee cup in my hand, looking at the latte art that I drank messed up, it was like I was in a complicated mood now, in fact, I already had the answer in my heart, but I still wanted to get her own answer.
