My canary flew away

Chapter 44

In late November, various discussions about "The Sparrow in the Cage" were still raging, and you could hear this song everywhere you went.

The sales of digital albums are still on the rise, and Shang Yu Studio has also released a notice that the physical album will be released in December.

Before that, the old lady of the Zhou family celebrated her birthday.

Guan Cheng naturally received another invitation letter.He sincerely respects Aunt Zhou's family. Although there are a lot of things in the company, the high-level executives have a stance under pressure to form a bond and test Guan Cheng together.But when it came to his birthday, Guan Cheng still put off all the big and small things and went to Zhou's house for a banquet.

But today, although Mrs. Zhou smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed when she saw Guan Cheng, she was more focused on bringing her son home for the first time in several years and formally introducing him to his parents and relatives. on his girlfriend Ning Shi.

Guan Cheng was also happy to see this.

He himself has failed in love, but if his friend can be happy with his girlfriend, then Guan Cheng can be considered a comfort.

After drinking for three rounds, he was holding a glass of champagne and blowing the air on the balcony.

Zhou's garden is well maintained. In this season, all kinds of colorful flowers are blooming, and it's the turn of plum blossoms.

Guan Cheng could smell the faint fragrance floating in the air.

There are fragrant clothes and shadows behind the temples, and there are staggered cups of wine.He looked slightly sideways and saw another house next to him.

It's much more desolate there.

Guan Cheng has not lived here for a long time, and although the relevant personnel are light on the care, at most, he only regularly clears weeds and trims shrubs, and does not care as much as Mrs. Zhou treats the garden at home.

He swirled his glass.There was excitement behind him, and there were people talking to each other in the garden in front of him.From Guan Cheng's point of view, he even saw the cousin he met when they were on vacation in Hawaii together, arguing with someone, and kissing again after the quarrel.

Guan Cheng couldn't help laughing.At this time, I heard movement behind me again.

someone is coming.

Guan Cheng took a look and said, "Why don't you accompany Ning Shi?"

Zhou Qiyu said: "Hey, my mother said that she wants to introduce Shishi to the seven aunts and eight aunts in my circle, and don't let me follow."

Guan Cheng said: "Miss Ning is indeed generous."

Zhou Qiyu: "That's—oh, by the way, did I tell you before, I brought Shishi to my house for two meals before."

Guan Cheng shrugged.

Zhou Qiyu said, "Didn't you say that? Well, I forgot."

Guan Cheng looked at his clothes and looked proud in love, and thought about it, his hands were itchy after all.

Zhou Qiyu also realized that his attitude similar to "showing off" was somewhat inappropriate in front of Guan Cheng.

He touched his nose and said, "I was planning to come out to smoke a cigarette, but I didn't expect you to be here."

Guan Cheng said, "It doesn't matter."

Zhou Qiyu: "Hey——"

He played a long tune again.

Guan Cheng heard now that Zhou Qiyu might have other things he wanted to tell him.The previous sentence "bring Shishi to eat at home" was just a hasty change.

But after changing his mouth, he was a little unwilling, so he went back again.

He glanced at Zhou Qiyu and said, "What do you want to say?"

Zhou Qiyu rubbed his fingers, finally took out a cigarette, and lit it.

Guan Cheng doesn't smoke much himself, but he doesn't mind others smoking beside him.He took another sip of the wine and realized that the champagne in the glass was about to run out, but he began to think about whether he should go out to the waiter to get another glass.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Zhou Qiyu finally said: "This kid actually carried it over."

Zhou Qiyu was in a complicated mood.

Guan Cheng laughed first: "Who are you talking about?"

Noticing his friend's expression, his smile faded a little bit, "Oh, him."

Naturally it was that person.

Zhou Qiyu took another puff, and then confessed to Guan Cheng: "At the beginning, when Shishi told me that the two songs collided, I was very excited. If there hadn't been such a thing, I would like to pick a thorn, but it's not very good. Go ahead. But with this, hey, I still think I'm doing justice."

Guan Cheng was noncommittal.

Zhou Qiyu saw that his expression was calm, a little unpredictable, and he didn't know what his friend's attitude towards Shang Yu was now.

But he has also heard "The Bird in the Cage" and watched the MV that is very popular on the Internet.Even if he didn't know the specific circumstances of Shang Yu's quarrel with his friends, Zhou Qiyu could guess a thing or two from it.

He takes a wait-and-see attitude.

Originally he was angry with Shang Yu. On the one hand, it was naturally because of the loss of a yacht.But this is only a superficial reason. The Zhou family has a great career. Even if Zhou Qiyu is regarded as "the second generation ancestor who has nothing to do" in the eyes of others, he still does not lack the 3000 to [-] million.

On the other hand, and a more important reason, he was secretly defending his friend against injustice.

But after watching the MV, Ning Shi sighed a little, and said to him: "Shang Yu should be very regretful."

Zhou Qiyu also saw it, and said "serve it".

Ning Shi said: "It's not this question. It's if the 'gentleman' really refers to Mr. Guan, do you think there is still a chance for the two of them to reconcile?"

Zhou Qiyu curled his lips and said, "Isn't it?"

Ning Shi said: "Maybe, after all, you also said that this is Mr. Guan's first official date. Maybe he will soften his heart."

Zhou Qiyu made a "tsk".

Now, when he was talking to Guan Cheng, he couldn't help but think of his girlfriend's "soft heart".

Because Guan Cheng's attitude was too vague, Zhou Qiyu thought about it and said, "I didn't expect that he could really come up with eight new songs in a week. And, I feel my conscience and say, don't be angry—" —The new songs are indeed much better than the old ones.”

After he finished speaking, Guan Cheng laughed.

Zhou Qiyu shook his hand, deeply aware: there is murderous intent.

He looked at Guan Cheng through the smog, and saw Guan Cheng put the champagne glass aside, and he was tidying up his sleeves.

After a while, Guan Cheng said, "Really? I didn't listen."

Zhou Qiyu: "..."

Did I say something wrong?

Zhou Qiyu thought about it, and added the second half of what he originally wanted to say.

Maybe what Shishi said made sense, and she meddled enough, even if Guan Cheng said he didn't care, it was after all a matter between him and Shang Yu.

He said: "Okay, this time, even if that kid has passed the test, don't let me catch new tricks, hum."

When Guan Cheng heard this, he smiled, raised his champagne glass to him, and said, "I'll go get another glass of wine."

Zhou Qiyu said, "Okay, I'll go see Shishi and the others as well."

He slips away.

For the banquet that day, Guan Cheng stayed at Zhou's house until very late.

Feng Daojia's little girl just got her mid-term exam results, and today she is going to hold a parent-teacher meeting.The child's mother is away on a business trip, and this heavy responsibility falls on Feng Dao.

When it was past three o'clock, Feng Dao couldn't hold back, and asked Guan Cheng for a leave of absence, saying that he would be back at six or seven o'clock.But after Guan Cheng finished his speech, he said it was okay, he could come back tomorrow.

That's what it means to spend the night here.

Feng understand thinks about it and thinks so.In the past few years, he has been with Mr. Guan for too long, and he always has to forget that Mr. Guan still has a "home" next to him.

Later, most of the guests left.Mrs. Zhou was talking to Ning Shi gently, while Guan Cheng played a game of chess with Mr. Zhou.He saw that the sky was getting dark outside the window, and it seemed that it was going to rain, so he got up and said, "I should go back too."

The old lady Zhou was surprised and said, "Xiaocheng, hasn't anyone cleaned up your house for a long time?"

Guan Cheng shook his head with a smile, and said, "Someone has cleaned up. I haven't been here for a long time, so I should go home and have a look."

Mrs. Zhou listened, sighed, and said, "That's fine."

She didn't say anything more, but still told Guan Cheng to come here for breakfast tomorrow.

Only then did Guan Cheng agree.

From Zhou's house to Guan's house, it takes 5 minutes to go out and enter through the main gate.But when Guan Cheng and Zhou Qiyu were young, they found a "secret passage" in the garden between the two families - directly passing through the bushes.This way, it only takes 2 minutes.

Today, this "secret channel" can no longer be used.The Zhou family sent Guan Cheng away, while Guan Cheng took a deep breath in front of the place where he grew up and looked around.

The deserted garden, the door...

There will no longer be a single person lighting up the lights inside, and there will be no couple who are idle, even if they have known each other for 40 years and married for 20 years, they will turn on that old gramophone and listen to Cai Qin's songs on a random night , embrace and dance together.

Guan Cheng leaned on the rocking chair on the small desk in the corner of the living room, looking at the surrounding layout.After a while, I wanted to drink coffee a little bit, but there was really nothing here, so I had to boil a pot of water for myself to comfort myself.

He thought about it, but his heart was still empty.

Guan Cheng doesn't regret coming back this time, but now, maybe wherever he goes, he can hear people mentioning Shang Yu intentionally or unintentionally, and even when he looks out of the office, he can see a huge electronic screen, on which from time to time The relationship between Shang Yu's face appearing unexpectedly.

At this moment, he suddenly thought, should he also listen to the new song that Zhou Qiyu said again during the day, which has been discussed for a long time.

After accidentally liking Shang Yu's circle of friends once before, Guan Cheng simply blocked him in order to avoid this from happening again.

Now, after thinking about it, he always felt that his state was not quite right, and it was easy for him to "take advantage of it".But in the end, it was the previous theory that convinced him.

His avoidance of everything related to Shang Yu really shows that Shang Yu is important.

Thinking of this, Guan Cheng finally searched for Shang Yu's new song.

"The Bird in the Cage".

Guan Cheng's pupils shrank slightly when he saw the album cover.

Almost instantly, a surge of anger welled up in my heart.

How dare he? !

How dare he—

But then, Guan Cheng saw another picture.

He was slightly startled.

Looking back, the bird in the cage was still in the cage, but the cage door was opened.

Instead, another bird flew away, but the bird in the cage could only stay where it was and wait.

Guan Cheng's mood was a little more complicated.

He listened to the song, and then convinced himself once more to go to Shang Yu's circle of friends.

In the past week, Shang Yu had a very exciting life.

The album sold records and received rave reviews.His commercial value, which had declined after leaving Shirong, has risen again, and he has received many new invitations.

Shang Yu recorded these things down in detail.

And the content of his new circle of friends is: After paying nearly 1000 million taxes, the remaining income is about 2000 million.After deducting the cost, there are more than 1000 million left.

In Guan Cheng's view, these figures are very "small fights".

But it was already the only straw in Shang Yu's hands.

Shang Yu said: It is still far from Guan Ge's request, but this is a good start.

Guan Cheng looked at it, slightly startled, and even the white water in his hand had some other taste, whether it was sour or bitter.

The author has something to say: Mr. Guan: Although this is the case, when I think about how jerk he was before, I feel...→_→

See you tonight.
