After Li Zhen said this, He Xiao looked at her.
"Why do you suddenly want to learn this?" He Xiao asked.
Lizhen looked down at the keyboard, played a few more times, and said, "I just suddenly wanted to learn it."
"It's not that easy to learn." He Xiao said.
After He Xiao finished speaking, Li Zhen laughed and looked at him and said, "I'm not asking you to teach me to be a master right away. You can just talk casually. I can play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."
When Lizhen said this, the keyboard player of Ziermao said, "Didn't I teach you Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?"
"Come on, you taught two tigers." Li Zhen turned around and looked at him with a smile.
"Two tigers are enough. Why do you, a guitarist, need to learn so many keyboard songs?" said the keyboard player unhappily.
After the keyboard player finished speaking, Li Zhen asked, "Did I ask you to teach me?"
Keyboardist: “…”
"You'd better not let me teach you. I won't teach you even if you kill me!" The keyboard player rolled his eyes and went back to drink. The musicians nearby laughed at their bickering.
Here, Li Zhen finished arguing with her keyboard player, turned back to look at the keyboard, and said to He Xiao: "Hey, just teach me a few simple steps, I'm not a fool."
"Teach me." Li Zhen said these two sentences again.
Li Zhen's words didn't sound like a whim, but rather like she really wanted to learn.
He Xiao didn't know why she suddenly became interested in the keyboard. Now that they had finished singing, there was no new singer to fill in. The guests below even treated his live teaching to Li Zhen as a song.
He Xiao put his fingers on the keyboard and told Li Zhen the key sounds. Li Zhen was also learning quite seriously. When he was talking, her eyes were always on the keyboard, and she would respond with a few sounds from time to time.
Although Li Zhen had never really learned to play the keyboard, they were all musical instruments, so there were always some similarities. After He Xiao gave her some instructions, Li Zhen's fingers fell on the keyboard, and soon, she really played "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
While she was playing, she glanced at He Xiao with a surprised smile. He Xiao looked at her and smiled, then stood aside and listened to her finish playing.
"Is that enough?" The lead singer was making a fuss over there, and the bassist of Ziermao saw that she had almost finished making a fuss, so he also gave her a reminder.
After she and He Xiao finished singing, she asked He Xiao to teach her how to play the keyboard. Although no singers came on stage to sing afterwards, it was not right to occupy the stage of the bar all the time, especially when the lead singer of the band was occupying the stage.
"Okay, I'll start right away." Li Zhen responded, took her fingers off the keyboard, and looked at the bassist with a smile.
After Li Zhen finished speaking, she did not stay on the stage any longer and stood up and walked off the stage. Before she left the stage, He Xiao had already walked off the stage. He returned to his seat, took a sip of lemonade, and while drinking, he glanced at the people around him.
"Where's Tang Miao?"
He Xiao asked this question after drinking his water.
After He Xiao asked, the other people came back to their senses. Ji Bang and the keyboard player of Ziermao were chatting, Qi Yuan was busy checking the performance information on his phone, and Lin Ye and the bassist of Ziermao were watching their lead singer making a fuss on the bar counter.
After he asked this question, several people said they didn't know, but the keyboard player of Ziermao said, "I think she went out just now."
"Where did you go?" He Xiao asked.
"I don't know." said the keyboard player.
As he said this, Ji Bang had already taken out his phone: "Wait for me to send a WeChat message to ask..."
Just as Ji Bang was sending a message on his phone, He Xiao put down the water glass in his hand and left the bar.
-
Tang Miao just felt a little depressed.
It's not hot, it's just plain stuffy.
The air-conditioning in the bar is on, so the air is circulating. However, in such a closed and dim space, people who are used to it are fine, but people who are not used to it will not be able to stay for too long.
Tang Miao is not someone who is used to staying in the bar for too long.
She even said that today was only her third time at the bar.
The first time, I was accompanied by Yu Yaya, and the second time, I was with my colleagues from the music store. I didn’t stay long the first time, so I didn’t notice anything. The second time, I had drunk some wine and was immersed in the stuffy environment, so I didn’t feel anything.
This time she didn't drink. She first had a meal on the second floor, and then watched Li Zhen and He Xiao sing a song on the first floor. When Li Zhen asked He Xiao to teach her to play the keyboard, Tang Miao sat in her seat and drank lemonade for a while. Finally, when both of them lowered their heads to play the keyboard on the stage and no one around them paid attention to her, she left the bar.
Tang Miao didn't go far either.
After she left the bar, there was a staircase outside the bar villa next to her. The staircase was spiral, and it could lead to the second floor, the third floor, or the fourth floor where the lights were not on.
During the meal, Tang Miao asked several people what the fourth floor of the villa was. They often performed in the bar, so they naturally knew what the bar villa looked like.
The fourth floor is a very large platform.
It was a platform, but also a balcony. There was only a small attic on top, and the outer circle of the attic was flat on all four sides, extending all the way to the edge of the building. The edge was surrounded by European-style stone railings to prevent any accidents.
The stairs lead directly to the fourth floor. After reaching the fourth floor, one's vision becomes wider as one climbs higher. The wind from the seaside blows over without any obstruction, blowing up the ponytail hanging on her back.
Tang Miao didn't drink in the bar, but after a while, he sweated a little. The sea breeze blew the sweat, bringing a little coolness to his skin. Tang Miao stood behind the stone railing and looked out of the stone railing.
The night view of Haicheng is very dark.
Maybe because this is a suburban area, the scene is even quieter at night.
Tang Miao stood on the balcony on the rooftop. There was the night sky above her and mountains, forests and the deep sea below her. She felt so small being on top of the building.
Tang Miao stood in front of the railing, looking at the scenery and enjoying the sea breeze for a while.
They stayed like this for a while, and soon, the sound of footsteps was heard at the entrance of the stairs. Tang Miao looked up and saw He Xiao's figure appeared in front of him.
There was no light upstairs.
The few visible spots on the fourth floor came from the lights on the third floor. Tang Miao had been upstairs for a while and had already adapted to the intensity of the light. So when He Xiao came up, she quickly recognized him by looking at his outline.
He Xiao seemed to know that it was her who was here. He walked up the stairs. When the scene on the fourth floor came into his sight, he looked up and saw Tang Miao's figure. He Xiao went upstairs and walked to her side.
The originally empty fourth floor suddenly became full with the appearance of He Xiao.
Tang Miao watched He Xiao's figure approaching her and becoming tall and straight. She stared at him in a daze. After a while, He Xiao also walked up to her side and stood still.
After standing still, He Xiao did not look at her, but looked at the deep sea in the distance.
The man's arrival brought with it a light mint and cool woody aroma, in addition to which there was also the spicy smell of alcohol. He didn't drink that night, but after spending the whole night in the bar, there must be some smell on his body.
Tang Miao smelled the scent and looked at He Xiao for a while, then she asked a question.
"Have you finished teaching?"
After Tang Miao asked, He Xiao turned and looked at her.
He was on the fourth floor later than Tang Miao, and he had not adapted to the darkness of the fourth floor that quickly after walking up the stairs and passing the lights on the first, second and third floors. However, the two of them were relatively close, so he could vaguely see Tang Miao standing in front of him.
She stood in front of him, tilting her head slightly so she could look him in the eye. In the darkness, her eyes were clear and bright as she looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.
"Yeah." He Xiao responded.
After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao smiled and responded, "Oh."
After responding, Tang Miao withdrew his gaze and looked towards the deep sea in the distance.
When she came to the bar at night, Tang Miao felt that the scenery from this perspective was somewhat familiar. When she went up the stairs to the second floor, this familiarity seemed to be stronger. However, she was busy eating and drinking at the time, so she didn't have time to think about it.
When they went to the bar together just now and watched He Xiao and Li Zhen performing on the stage, Tang Miao's consciousness somehow drifted away and he thought of this scene.
She had evidently seen this sight before.
Even though the angle is not quite right, the perspective is right.
And Ji Bang had never taken a picture of the scenery from this angle before, otherwise he would have told her long ago. So when she felt bored, she went up the stairs to the fourth floor.
After reaching the fourth floor, she stood where she is now, looking into the distance, and the scenery in the distance immediately matched the scenery in her mind.
"You took pictures of this place for me." Tang Miao and He Xiao said, "That was that night."
That night, Tang Miao returned home from work, and He Xiao, who had not chatted with her, suddenly sent her this picture. After he sent the picture, Tang Miao chatted with him for a few words, but the chat was not very meaningful and ended after a few words.
After it was over, He Xiao didn't say anything else. Tang Miao waited for a while, finally saved the photo he took, and then closed the chat box with him.
Tang Miao seemed to be recalling something ordinary between them, and when she said this, He Xiao, who had been looking into the distance, retracted his gaze. He lowered his head to look at her. Although he had adapted to the current light, he still couldn't see what emotion was behind the smiling eyes of the woman in front of him.
She seems to have always been like this. As plain as water, she will not flow to the sea, nor will she accept the stream water into her arms. She has always been like this. No one can see what is under her clear water surface, but she is so clear that you can see the bottom.
This is weird.
She might be deliberately hiding it, or she might not dare to reveal it, so she tried again and again.
And this trip to Haicheng was her greatest courage after the tests.
He Xiao looked at Tang Miao, his eyes were dark, like an endless abyss. He looked at Tang Miao who didn't even look at him, and said, "Yes."
He Xiao responded again.
After he responded, Tang Miao looked at the night sky and sea in the distance, and the light in his eyes moved.
While she was looking at the night scene in the distance, He Xiao had already withdrawn his gaze from her. His figure was only visible in outline in the dim light on the fourth floor. His outline was as sharp as his appearance, like a sharp-edged paper cut out by the night.
In the dark outline of the paper cut, he took out a cigarette and lit it with a lighter. The flame of the lighter was small, but it also illuminated a small circle in front of him, and a blurry circle of light appeared.
The aperture illuminated the man's profile. His eyebrows were slightly drooping, and jumping flames were reflected in his eyes under his long eyelashes. His nose bridge was tall and extended all the way to his lips holding a cigarette.
His lip line was very thin and beautiful, and because he was holding a cigarette, his lips formed a slightly upward arc. In this arc, and under this hazy light, He Xiao lit the cigarette on his lips.
As he lit the cigarette, he took a puff of it, and the white smoke curled up naturally as his lips opened and closed slightly. In this circle of light, the smoke became very thin, lingering on his facial features and his contours. The light shone through the white smoke, giving them a layer of golden light.
This scene is like a long shot from a movie.
In the camera, the man made a casual movement. The seaside scenery, the dim light of the lighter, and the man's outline were all just right.
In this long shot, there is only such a thin picture, but at the same time, it seems to contain full and crowded emotions.
There is no sound in the scenery captured by the camera, yet every part seems to be shouting.
Tang Miao looked at the scene in a daze.
She is the most real and intimate audience of this picture. She can feel all the emotions in the camera, and hear all the language in this quiet camera, so that her emotions, her blood, and her heart are also infected by this picture and the faint smell of tobacco.
She heard the heartbeat in her ear.
Not so regular, but powerful enough.
Tang Miao watched He Xiao light up the cigarette. She looked at the cigarette between his lips and said something to He Xiao.
"Give me one."
After she finished speaking, He Xiao, with a cigarette between his lips, turned around and looked at her.
He had already lit the cigarette, and the light of the lighter had disappeared, and they seemed to have fallen into darkness again. In the darkness, there was still a faint flicker of fire.
That was the cigarette that He Xiao lit.
After she finished speaking, he turned around and looked at her. The fire on the tobacco was reflected in his eyes, which were faintly lit.
After looking at her for a while, He Xiao raised his hand and took the cigarette from his lips.
"Can you?" He Xiao asked.
"No." Tang Miao looked at him and said.
After she said this, she did not retract her gaze or avoid it as she did before. She still looked at him straight, and even seemed to move closer to him invisibly.
"Teach me." Tang Miao looked at He Xiao and said this.
After she finished speaking, as if she was afraid that He Xiao didn't hear it, she still looked at him like that and repeated it to He Xiao.
"Teach me."
There was a slight flash of fire in He Xiao's eyes.
After Tang Miao finished speaking, the two of them just stared at each other face to face, and no one said another word.
After a moment of silence, He Xiao looked at her and asked.
"Have you been drinking?"
After He Xiao asked, Tang Miao's eyes moved as she looked at him. She didn't know why He Xiao suddenly asked this question, because they had been together at night, He Xiao was drinking lemonade, and she was also drinking lemonade.
But after He Xiao asked this, Tang Miao still looked at him and answered.
"No."
She answered his question.
After she answered, He Xiao nodded along with her answer. After he nodded, he casually put the cigarette to his lips again. After putting it to his lips, he seemed to take a puff. After taking this puff, He Xiao took the cigarette away from his lips, then pinched Tang Miao's chin with one hand, lowered his head and kissed her lips, and passed the cigarette to her mouth.
