"If we had never met."
"……What?"
"Didn't you ask me just now? This is my favorite song."
He Tianran answered abruptly. He looked out the window, with a trace of memory in his calm expression.
This made Wen Liang angry and funny after he came back to his senses.
She suppressed the shame she had just shown and began to think about whether the words she just said were a little too "ambiguous". Although these were her true feelings, this was only the second time the two of them had met. , there was more than a year between them. Now that I have calmed down and thought about it, it does seem a bit sudden...
But...why did the other person react like this?
me! So warm!
People who like me can be discharged directly from your Hong Kong University lead washing pond to the Tumo River!
I said this to you, and this is your reaction? !
At any rate, Wen Liang had met Xiao Jia when he went to the Snow Mountain, and probably knew a little bit about his character. This guy was definitely not the kind of straight-faced man who didn't understand amorous feelings. When he was on the high-speed rail, he took the initiative to talk to her!
Wen Liang suddenly felt a little depressed, because in her imagination, after that snow mountain trip, if she and Xiao Jia could meet again, it would be the kind of scene where they could have a lively chat and feel like old friends at first sight...
Although I am not too unfamiliar now, I always feel...
Not very familiar.
In just a few seconds, Wen Liang had already thought about a lot of things. She tried to understand more about Xiao Jia, so she continued:
"Do you like Mayday? I thought you would talk about my band's songs! By the way, Hu Yue said you are my fan, so do you know what songs my band has sung?"
"..."
He Tianran was stunned. He had been blank in Wenliang's world for a year and a half, and there was no INTERESTING after him. He was destined not to sing "Mountains and Seas" and "The Rose Thief", so Wenliang asked, He really couldn't answer...
Seeing the answer written on the other person's face, Wen Liang sighed before waiting for a satisfactory answer.
"Sure enough, it seems that our band is still too niche."
He Tianran heard the words and said softly: "Although I don't know your band, you can introduce it to me. Anyway, we are just chatting, and I also want to get to know you."
"Yes!" Wen Liang raised her head and said excitedly at first: "We are INTERESTING..." Then, she hesitated, curled her lips, and said with a confident smile: "Forget it, this is just like introducing yourself, not at all. It’s not cool. How can a band lead introduce his band to others? If you are interested, you will find out about it privately, so I won’t tell you.”
He Tianran knew Wen Liang's character. Although she was usually cheerful and enthusiastic, the pride in her bones gave her a very charming personality.
This pride was returned to Wen Liang by He Tianran himself, and he was very familiar with it, and he was inexplicably relieved to see that the girl was as proud as ever.
He said, "Now that you say that, I'm more interested in your band."
"Really~" Wen Liang raised his eyebrows: "But you were unlucky and didn't make it. Our band will be disbanded today."
"I heard Hu Yue say it's because you are too busy to take care of both ends?"
When she heard this, the girl also had a headache.
"That's true, but it's not absolute. For me, it's actually fine. Although it's a bit tiring to sing and film at the same time, it's not hard work or not when you do what you love. There's more to it than that. It involves some practical factors. For example, the agency I signed with has some clauses that restrict my personal commercial performances. These are normal things. If you want to work and film, naturally it is impossible to be like a student in school. So freeing.”
"...Yeah, I understand."
He Tianran nodded.
In the past, because of He Panshan's relationship, the band could be affiliated with a music company they knew, which allowed them to rely on a series of business activities. But with his disappearance, this relationship will naturally cease to exist. Now Wen Liang is about to officially step into the In the entertainment industry, her image rights and some benefits will naturally be subject to commercial constraints.
At this time, the waiter opened the door curtain and brought the dishes to the table one by one.
Wen Liang used a spoon to pierce the surface of the omurice rice, took out a spoonful of golden rice grains, put it into her mouth, chewed it carefully for a few times, and after swallowing it, she said:
"Oh, actually it's normal that you don't know. After all, in the past few years since our band was established, we haven't created any popular hit songs. Most of the time we just entertain ourselves in a small circle. If it hadn't been for me last year There may be fewer people who know about us after filming "When the Rose Fades"."
"Are you belittling yourself?"
He Tianran deliberately stimulated her.
"of course not!"
This sentence had an immediate impact. Wen Liang first denied this statement and then explained:
"Although my band is niche, it has gained a lot of fans! Just like when I met you in Yunnan two years ago, our band was traveling and performing city tours at the same time, even though it was a small-scale performance , but the venue was also full! Speaking of which, I just thought that you shouldn’t have left so early that time, and you should have come to my performance.”
"I don't doubt that."
"Um?"
He Tianran originally wanted to say, I wanted to go to Dali that time, but I didn't buy a ticket, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into a simple sentence:
"I believe in you."
Wen Liang was startled for a moment, then he made a "poof" sound and smiled slightly.
Somehow, she could hear a sense of certainty in the affirmation from a person she had only met a few times. He was clearly someone who knew nothing about his band...
However, maybe it was this half-baked relationship but having experienced some unforgettable experiences together that allowed me and him to be relatively wary but sincere to each other?
Wen Liang didn't know clearly, but she believed what he said.
The girl lowered her head, stirring the rice on the plate with her hands, and asked curiously:
"By the way, does that song you like have any special meaning to you?"
Xiao Jia was silent and didn't speak. Wen Liang didn't bother him. He ate his meal slowly and looked at him quietly.
This situation lasted for about ten seconds before the man said softly:
"Actually, it doesn't have any special meaning, I just feel a little emotional when I listen to it."
Suddenly, a shining rice spoon appeared in front of his eyes. Wen Liang pressed his finger, and then tapped the rice spoon in front of He Tianran, and then Wen Liang's naughty voice came:
"Generally, people who say this kind of thing are either pretending to be mature, or they are getting older. Which one are you?"
He Tianran smiled:
"Can't I be a young man with a real story?"
Wen Liang made a "poof" sound and laughed too. The next second, she shook her head and pretended to be serious:
"Of course not, because you can't have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time."
"..."
Although this was just a joke, He Tianran was stunned for a few seconds, and his eyes suddenly felt sour.
He raised his head as if to escape, his eyes flashed involuntarily, and he blinked. After a moment, he lowered his head again, looked squarely at the girl opposite, and laughed hard, his voice a little hoarse:
"Yes, I also feel that I am a bit pretentious sometimes..."
In fact, he couldn't tell why he was touched. He just felt that Wen Liang's words, yes, a joke uttered by the girl who he personally sent to hell, at this moment, stirred up the emotions in the long river of time. A wave, the splashing water droplets sparkled in the sun, but were instantly submerged in the roar of the river, as if nothing had happened in this peaceful afternoon...
The abyss of yesterday is the shallow talk of today.
Flowers bloom in the valley, no one can see them, but there are thoughts in the heart, rushing to the sea.
"I'm sorry, you... I... I don't know what you have been through, but I feel that what I just said was a bit... offensive to you."
Wen Liang's heart beat fast for no reason. She, who was always confident, felt a little panicked for some reason.
"No, I'm not offended by your words, I just thought of something...forget it, I'd better listen to you, feel less, and stop growing old."
He Tianran wanted to put this aside, but Wen Liang asked cautiously at this time:
"You just... were thinking about your girlfriend who... teased you, right?"
"...Why do you think of this?"
Wen Liang put down his rice spoon and said seriously:
"Because it's obvious. Looking at you talking about that song and your expression just now, it says everything. And I only know this past incident of yours."
"I did think of something just now..." He Tianran didn't hide anything, but when he said this, he paused and asked calmly:
"What, do you want to persuade me to let it go?"
