Chapter 9 past memories

Only then did we return to our normal colors. At the beginning of your words, I scolded the captain, the liar.

After dinner, we decided to pack to a KTV afternoon session for the broken-hearted Shuangshuang. The KTV near the school is super cheap, only 60 yuan in the afternoon.

When we arrived in the box, Lu Yuewei first raised her voice and sang a song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" to us, and the high pitch made us burst into tears on the spot - Xueba is indeed a Xueba, it is extraordinary.

Mu Nanqiao has been busy playing with the audio equipment and ordering tea and snacks. When he sat down, Calm had already sung to the second song, and it seemed that he had the momentum of grabbing wheat with Lu Yuewei.

"What song do you want to sing, I'll give you some." I turned my head and asked Mu Nanqiao. In the dim light, his profile looks more three-dimensional, like a beautiful relief.

He smiled: "What do you sing?"

I smiled and said, "You choose."

"Hiroshima Love".

I was speechless for a moment and said, "This song is to test the soprano."

"Then let me choose first." He said and got up to order a song. I sat in the corner of the sofa and listened to Calm and Lu Yuewei taking turns singing, until a line of subtitles appeared on the screen: childhood sweethearts.

I was startled, and when I looked up, I saw that Mu Nanqiao picked up the wheat and cleared his throat, looking ready.

The music started, and he sang softly:

do you have such a friend

childhood like another planet

You are in a daze, you are shy

You pull your skirt to cover your face

Do you have such a feeling

Very close but not often in contact

I remember yesterday you seemed to be waiting for me at the intersection

...

There is a kind of love that does not have to be a lover

...

This song has a strong sense of rhythm, and Mu Nanqiao's singing skillfully enhanced the taste of R&P, raising the hi-point of the whole box by two levels.

It's just why the lyrics sound so awkward...

The phrase "there is a kind of love, you don't have to be a lover", and the phrase "you who pull your skirt to cover your face".

Pulling my skirt to cover my face is something I've really done before.

I met Mu Nanqiao when I was in kindergarten. At that time, the two of us hadn't lived in the same community, and my father and Uncle Mu were just ordinary colleagues. One day, I was obsessed with going to Dad's office. He was helpless and took me with him.

Dad is very busy at work, and the research institute does not allow employees to bring their children. So my father put me in the hall and pointed to a little boy to show me: "Yanyan, go and play with your brother Mu Nanqiao, okay?"

When he was a child, Mu Nanqiao already showed the essence of a male god who would bring disaster to the country and the people. He wore a small suit and linen shorts, and he was a little gentleman. It's a pity that I was only four years old at the time and had not yet established a systematic aesthetic, so I scoffed at him.

As soon as Dad left, I was crying and trying to follow. Mu Nanqiao stopped me at the right time and said, "Let's play hide and seek together."

A round of rock-paper-scissors came down, and Mu Nanqiao hid me first to find it. Because he was worried about me peeking, he frequently turned his head and shouted at me: "You are not allowed to peek, you are not allowed to peek-"

To show my determination, I pulled up my skirt to cover my face.

There was only a rustling sound, and it seemed that Mu Nanqiao had tripped over something. Then his voice came: "You...you put your skirt down!"

I put down my skirt and saw that his face was flushed, I was embarrassed and burst into tears with a "wow".

Mu Nanqiao was anxious, coaxed left and right, and finally said, "Don't cry, I'll buy you candy to eat." I burst into laughter.

I always thought that the sweets that Mu Nanqiao gave me were the sweetest. Who would have thought that later, when I think of him, my heart is bitter.

Unconsciously recalling these, I have mixed feelings. calmly didn't notice anything strange about me, as if it was full of 100% electricity, she excitedly asked me, "Dove, this is the first time I think this song is so good. Hey, he won't sing it to you, right?"

I was startled: "don't talk nonsense, Mu Nanqiao is my brother!"

It happened that the lyrics were finished at this time, and when it was time for the accompaniment, it seemed that my words were very abrupt. In the dim light, I saw Mu Nanqiao's body turned to one side, but he didn't look back after all.

Did he hear it?

I felt a little guilty, but when I remembered that he once regarded me as a rabbit in the laboratory, I felt a sense of relief after revenge.

After singing a song like this, he sat back on the sofa again, turned his head and asked with a smile, "How did I sing?"

The expression is natural and the smile is sincere, as if my words were scratching the surface, and there was no abuse. I was a little frustrated, and then I thought, he was treating me as his sister.

I like his mood, he may never understand it for the rest of his life.

"It's okay." I pretended to be disdainful, "Look at me showing you a hand, I'll order a song..."

At this moment, the music of "Horse Pole" exploded, directly drowning the second half of my sentence. I saw Shuang Shuang turned the volume up hard, then picked up the microphone and shouted: "Give me a blue sky, a rising sun, give me a green grass, stretching into the distance..."

Calmly blocked her ears and shouted to me, "Is she alright?"

"Are you stimulated?" I also had to raise the decibel of my voice to hear my own voice.

It seems that this incident caused a lot of trauma to Shuang Shuang. Originally, a good handsome guy was about to cook, but it turned out to be flying, and no one can stand this.

After finally waiting until the end of the song, I took a deep breath and planned to put down a song to wash my ears. Unexpectedly, both of them replayed "Horse Pole", and they took up the microphone as if they were dead. It seems that they planned to die with this song. Knocked.

My eyes were black, and when I looked up, they were also twitching.

Lu Yuewei packed her backpack and made a "flickering" gesture at us with her cat on her waist.

Mu Nanqiao and I looked at each other and despised this kind of abandonment of friends, and then... slipped away with Lu Yuewei.

Stepping out of the box and leaving the melody of the Divine Comedy behind, we suddenly felt the air was fresh. Calmly and I walked downstairs jokingly, only to find that Mu Nanqiao was walking slowly behind, closing the phone and putting it in his pants pocket.

"Why are you walking so slowly?" I waved to him.

He explained lightly, "I just answered a phone call."

"Oh."

"It's the captain of the basketball team," he continued.

"what?"

Mu Nanqiao smiled slightly: "I told him everything, and he will come over and explain to Shuangshuang soon."

This is also good, to save the unsolved knots of both hearts and shouting "the man who sets the horse" every day.

When I walked out of the KTV, a gust of cold wind was blowing with water vapor, and I shivered.

"It's raining!" Calm and Lu Yuewei exclaimed.

In this southern city, there is no such transitional season as spring and autumn. Winter and summer come unexpectedly, just like this rain from the sky.

I looked at the white water splashes outside and was a little worried: "Or, let's borrow two umbrellas from the KTV staff."

she smiled calmly and said, "Come on, you guys can borrow it. We'll use the backpack as an umbrella. The school is next to it anyway." He put the backpack on his head and pulled Lu Yuewei to run into the rain. At that speed So fast, for fear of becoming a light bulb.

In a blink of an eye, there were only me and Mu Nanqiao left at the door of the KTV, and our calm attitude was still so ambiguous, I scratched my hair a little embarrassedly and didn't dare to look at Mu Nanqiao's expression.

He didn't say anything, turned around and went to the service desk, borrowed an umbrella from the staff, opened it and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

As soon as I looked up, I saw his clear eyes and couldn't help but say, "I haven't been to your school yet."

He heard the words and smiled: "It's better to hit the sun if you choose a day, let's go, I'll show you."

I heard that B University is a century-old school. There are many scenic spots, as well as the former residences of celebrities, which are very interesting. Before, in order to avoid Mu Nanqiao, I didn't even take a step in.

I used to think this was a pity, but now I'm secretly grateful for it.

because...

It was the first time I went to B University that Mu Nanqiao led me there, what a commemorative meaning.

There are many firsts in life, and it is a wonderful thing to have his participation every time.

Sometimes I think it's a good thing to be his experimental bunny. His first time was witnessed by him, and the growth rings of life were thus more profound.

Hiding under the umbrella, I secretly glanced at him. He was very tall, half his head taller than me, but the side of the umbrella tilted towards me, and half of the rain curtain fell on his shoulders.

I stretched out my fingers and moved the umbrella handle toward him. He immediately understood, bowed his head and smiled at me gently: "It's okay, you are wearing thin clothes."

"Hey, I just don't want others to say that I bullied you." I pouted and deliberately looked elsewhere.

He gave an "oh" and said, "Then I'm afraid you won't be able to get your wish, and you will have to bully me later."

What's the meaning?

I looked at him blankly, and he pointed not far away. Looking in the direction, I found that there was a puddle at the school gate of University B, and many students took off their shoes and waded over.

At this moment, Mu Nanqiao bent down slightly, just as high as I could climb up: "You come to hold an umbrella, and I will carry you over there."

I punched him on the back: "You carry me, no matter how you look like you are taking advantage of me, how can I bully you?"

After I climbed on his back, he replied with a low laugh, "Because I'm thinner than you."

I was so angry that I slapped him twice, but not too hard, but he tilted his body on purpose. I was startled, and quickly grabbed his shoulders, and at the same time heard a humming from him: "That's right, hold on."

Mu Nanqiao wore a gray woolen coat today, exuding a warm and fresh breath. Lying on his back, listening to the patter of rain on the umbrella above my head, I suddenly felt a little emotional.

In this life, is it still possible to escape him?

"Xiaoge." He suddenly called me.

"Um?"

As he waded carefully, he said, "There's something I heard about later."

My heart froze all of a sudden.

Sure enough, he asked, "How did my uncle... die?"

I didn't speak, and he continued to ask: "I came here to go to university during that time, and I couldn't contact you. The school's management is very strict, and I can't miss classes casually. When I got home from winter vacation, I heard about my uncle. The matter... Xiaoge, during that time, did you ignore me because of this?"
