“You also play guitar?”

Yang Lei was surprised. 6x4Y1m

“Sometimes.”

Fang Yu put a cigarette in his mouth, pulling one out and giving it to Yang Lei.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yang Lei really hadn’t expected that the most famous fighter in the Jianghu gangdom would also like music. It was very hard for him to imagine Fang Yu, who had bloodied Gun-zi’s mouth on the streets, tenderly holding a guitar.

“How good are you?” 1gKdbi

Yang Lei was really curious.

“Just messing around.” Fang Yu took a drag of his cigarette, smiling.

Yang Lei thought of his own guitar.

“Fuck, my guitar was trashed there!” Yang Lei’s face fell. Thinking of it filled him with anger.

oOi8Ke

When Fang Yu heard, he flicked the ash from the end of his cigarette, stretched out his hand, and took down the guitar from the top of the cupboard. He gave it to Yang Lei.

“Play this for now.”

Yang Lei liked Fang Yu’s straightforward personality, and he didn’t hold back. He took the guitar and plucked several strings.

When Yang Lei heard the sound, he knew that it was a good guitar. The sound was clear, the resonance was full, and even the feeling under his hand was different. It was much better than his own guitar. 5ZhprN

Yang Lei’s hand itched. After an elaborate prelude, he started playing “Childhood.” He wanted to show off a little in front of Fang Yu, so he was very focused and serious in playing. He had practiced often recently, so there were almost no wrong notes.

Fang Yu leaned against the side, watching him play as he smoked the cigarette.

Both of them didn’t speak. One person was standing, and the other was playing. The beautiful notes resounded through the room. The balcony of the bedroom wasn’t closed. The night wind blew in, softly stirring their hair and stirring the music that was like flowing water.

Yang Lei only stopped when his injured arm was tired. He raised his head to look at Fang Yu. P7Aw8e

“How is it? Give me a word.” Yang Lei wanted to know Fang Yu’s reaction.

“Not bad. You must have put in a lot of work?” Fang Yu smiled, his eyes crinkling.

Yang Lei had practiced this part several times and felt that it wasn’t quite right, but he couldn’t figure out what the problem was. When Fang Yu said this, Yang Lei was suddenly enlightened.

“…You’re pretty good!” NCAhLz

Yang Lei was surprised. As soon as he saw Fang Yu’s skills, he knew that he wasn’t “messing around” like he had mentioned.

“You should also play a song for me!”

“Play what?”

“‘Love Song 1990,’ do you know it?” X0CFxG

Yang Lei thought that this was very difficult.

Fang Yu didn’t say anything. He sat down and picked up the guitar.

Actually, at that time, Fang Yu only played the melody without singing the lyrics.. However, many years later, when Yang Lei thought back to that time, the sound of his singing was in his head throughout…

The dark black eyes and your smiling face,
No matter what, it’s hard to forget the change in your appearance.
The weightless old times slip away like this,
When I turn my head to look back, many years have already gone by…
The boundless roads to the end of the world are your wanderings,
Seeking and waiting are my footsteps.
Next to the dark, single pillow is your gentleness,
In the early morning upon waking up, is my sorrow…
AUrhf6

Fang Yu finished playing. When he raised his head, he saw that Yang Lei wasn’t speaking, but staring at him, his expression very strange.

“Have you or have you not gone to the lab high school field at night?”

Yang Lei asked.

“I have.” 6Nj7dm

“Then you, you…” Yang Lei was dumbfounded, unable to speak.

Could that person be Fang Yu?! But that was too much. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

But the sound of Fang Yu’s guitar was truly too familiar. This feeling of déjà vu made Yang Lei immediately think of the guitarist on the other side of the field.

“I what?” Fang Yu asked, biting the end of his cigarette crookedly. His expression was a little roguish, and he was smiling a little. ym6QUA

Yang Lei suddenly remembered the day he had run into Fang Yu in the small convenience store, but at that time, Fang Yu didn’t have a guitar. His hands were empty.

It was definitely not Fang Yu, Yang Lei thought. There were many skilled players. Perhaps when guitar masters played, the feeling was all about the same! They all played well anyway.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

He could only say that he had too many fantasies about that mysterious guitar friend, but he had never imagined it could be Fang Yu.

“Nothing. I know someone who plays guitar very well. You play a little like him.” wMWB2

Yang Lei believed that nothing could be so coincidental.

“He taught me this song ‘Childhood.’ Tonight, I went out to look for him. I can never catch him. Next time, I’ll bring you along and let him teach both of us,” Yang Lei said.

Fang Yu started to smile, as if he found this very amusing.

“Okay.” mOpvs0

Yang Lei stayed at Fang Yu’s house for a night. Yan Ziyi let Yang Lei stay with Fang Yu for a few days, so he wouldn’t recklessly go get revenge. He, as the boss, would take care of the remaining issues.

“Fang Yu, help Yan Ge watch over Yang Lei.” Yan Ziyi trusted the way Fang Yu did things.

“Don’t worry, Yan Ge.”

Yang Lei stayed with Fang Yu for a few days. It was like he was given a long holiday with nothing to do, so he followed Fang Yu to the Bright Billiards Room to play billiards, went to the arcade room to play video games, and watched over several venues with Fang Yu. 19VKLz

Fang Yu was a famous billiards master in the city. He could make many difficult shots. When Fang Yu was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he played billiards so well here at Luo Jiu’s place, that Luo Jiu discovered him. Later, Luo Jiu also discovered that he had a lot of talent for fighting, so he took Fang Yu in as a subordinate. He continued following Luo Jiu to that day.

Bright Billiards Room was very large, so there were many players present. Fang Yu didn’t readily come out to play anymore. Only if a master came and invited Fang Yu out for a competition, would Fang Yu play for a while. Yang Lei played billiards relatively well. Back then, he already had skills like “soul in one” in present-day Japanese animations. When Fang Yu discovered that Yang Lei knew how to play these shots, he was very surprised for a moment. Yang Lei was also proud that he finally had a unique skill that could stun Fang Yu. They set up a table in Bright Billiards. They each made shots, immersed in the game. A group of people gathered around them to watch. After all, now it was rare to see Fang Yu reveal his skills, and even harder to see someone who could play such an exciting game against Fang Yu.

When Xiao Wu first saw Yang Lei speaking and smiling with Fang Yu, his jaw nearly dropped off.

“You’re also here, plump boy!” gRdcF

Yang Lei greeted Xiao Wu. Later, he kept calling Xiao Wu “plump boy.”

“Ge! Did you bring him here to beat him up?” Xiao Wu stared with round eyes.

“Can’t I pay you for what happened last time? So don’t hold a grudge, brother.” Yang Lei had truly set aside the past.

“Fuck!” Xiao Wu knew that Yang Lei was famous for taking revenge for all his grievances. He was also perplexed. Last time, his cousin had put Yang Lei into the hospital. No matter who was cool, the two of them couldn’t be cool with each other. PZJxct

Li San, Chuan-zi, and several brothers also couldn’t find Yang Lei all day. Later, when they discovered that he was cooped up in the Bright Billiards Room with Fang Yu, they were also perplexed for a while.

“Lei Ge, let’s go watch movies! I heard a new film came out, a good film!” Li San spoke both mysteriously and ambiguously. The “good film” he spoke of was porn. At that time, the gangdom all used innuendos.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Not going!” Yang Lei’s interest was all in playing billiards with Fang Yu.

“Come on!” Li San and Chuan-zi were dejected. VfgFqL

“Go. By staying here all day playing billiards, your skin is almost white.” Fang Yu recommended that Yang Lei change things up.

“Then are you going?”

“Can’t go. I have to watch the place.”

“Then I also won’t go.” Yang Lei waved his hand at Li San and Chuan-zi. HZCwRJ

“Don’t come looking for me if there’s nothing big happening. I’m busy!” Yang Lei made a shot and walked over to Fang Yu’s side.

“…”

Li San and Chuan-zi looked at each other, at a loss.

“…Fuck!” smAdFu

Both spoke at the same time. All their thoughts were condensed into this word.
