Chapter 22 Laundry in the Middle of the Night

Qi Jie could hardly remember how she came back. When she came to her senses, she was sitting in her car, which had already parked downstairs.

She subconsciously raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but found that the tears had already dried up.

After thinking about it for a moment, she slowly remembered.

After listening to that song, she burst into tears, and even felt that she couldn't help crying, so she fled downstairs in a hurry, not knowing whether the footsteps woke up the singer upstairs—at that time , how could she even think about this!

Then, she cried in the car for a long time before starting the car and going home.

It's already... half past four in the afternoon.

She sniffed subconsciously, turned off the car first, then took off her seat belt, leaned back on the seat, and let out a long breath.

I didn't know what happened at the time, but I was suddenly hit by those few lines of lyrics, and then I couldn't stop crying. But, what can I do when I'm done crying?

She knew that she was no longer a teenage girl.

After so many years, I have said it, I have quarreled, I have been violent, and I have been angry, but if I think about it carefully, even if Lu Liang is willing to break off the engagement with me now, what can I do? How about it?

To put it bluntly, you can't even find someone to elope!

Thinking of this, Qi Jie suddenly felt that she was living a pitiful life.

Even, a little sad.

born free!

Yes, we are born free.

But... Forget it, after all these years, haven't you gotten used to it?

Lu Liang, it wouldn't be so useless!

Life, life, decades in the blink of an eye, isn't that what it is?

Everyone is clamoring for freedom, how many are really willing to go all out in pursuit of freedom?

Then again, what is the so-called freedom?

Hey... is the bird free?

Didn't they also sing in the song, saying... yes, that song!

At this moment, she suddenly came back to her senses, and she suddenly remembered that song. Unfortunately, she only remembered the word "bird", oh, and the phrase "flying around" and "because we were born free". Others... At that moment, she felt sad, and felt that she really wanted to find a place to cry. At that time, she was moved and shocked by the lyrics, but what was the lyrics? I actually forgot all about it!

Yes, go home and look up that song!

She got up to get out of the car, but the car doors were opened but stopped again, and then she pulled down the vanity mirror in the car to take a look - sure enough, her eyes were swollen! Swollen like a peach!

Now I really can't see people!

But fortunately, it was only half past four, and there should be no one at home!

She looked around again, and found that there were no people wandering around in the neighborhood, so she picked up her laptop bag, pulled out the key, turned around and got out of the car. After locking it, he quickly climbed the stairs again.

When I got home, sure enough, my parents were not there.

She went back to her bedroom to put down her things, washed her face first, and carefully rubbed around her eyes, hoping that they would disappear before her parents came back. It's useless for a while, if the swelling doesn't subside by six o'clock, you can put on a mask by yourself!

After thinking about these countermeasures in her mind, she wiped her face, went back to her bedroom and opened her notebook.

Even desktop computers have not really become popular these days, and there are even fewer notebook computers. Although the operator finally opened the wireless broadband service last year, the speed is really slow.

After turning on the computer, she found the hottest zero-degree search in China recently. After thinking about it, she entered the word "little bird" and searched... Well, none of the ones that came out were on the topic.

After thinking about it, she clicked a space after the word "little bird", added the words "because we were born free", and clicked "search" full of expectations.

But the result... well, what does this have to do with the XXX Manifesto?

"The Internationale"?

The Declaration of Liberty?

"the U.S. constitution"?

"The Happiest Working People"?

What is this all about!

Qi Jie frowned and turned two pages, then frowned for a moment, changed the search content to "fly around" and "born free", and then pressed search.

Well, this time I finally got something close to it.

It is also a song called "Flying Around".

Qi Jie had heard this song before, and it was not the same thing at all.

As for the other content, it still has nothing to do with that song.

She frowned, and after a while, it changed to "songs about birds"...no.

Another frown for a moment, replaced by "fly" and "then see the truth"... still nothing.

Computers and the Internet are new things. At present, in China, there is no doubt that most of those who have computers are not short of money, and most of them are young people. In the eyes of record companies, these people undoubtedly belong to existing consumers. Therefore, record companies with a little strength have their own websites and provide song previews on the Internet. Therefore, as long as you search, you can basically find all the songs on the market.

But... Qi Jie couldn't find it.

"It's really weird!"

He sat blankly for a while, and suddenly remembered other songs he had heard earlier, tried to search, and sure enough, he could find them all.

Then, she entered "how many people have admired your youthful appearance" in the search bar... The first time I heard the person on the top of the building playing and singing by himself, there was this sentence in the song he sang, because that song Qi Jie memorized the lyrics subconsciously, and just remembered it at this time.

but……

Does this have something to do with Yeats' "When You Are Old"?

Well, the poem "When You Are Old" does seem to have a sentence with a meaning very similar to this one.

And then... as usual, she got nothing.

There is no trace of the two songs on the Internet!

Qi Jie couldn't tell whether it was puzzled or depressed, she got up and walked a few steps in the room, then sat back down again, and typed in the lyrics that she occasionally remembered from the lyrics that the person on the top of the building had sung before. Go in and try one by one.

Then, she still got nothing.

Now, she was really a little confused.

After thinking about it, her eyes suddenly lit up, she took out her cell phone from her bag, found Liao Liao's number and called.

Soon, the phone was connected.

"Hey, Lao Liao, I, Qi Jie."

"I know it's you! What's the matter, did you finally think of your sister?"

"What can you think of, I said, ask you something."

"Okay, you're ruthless, I'll convince you if you say the same when you're capable in a meeting... What's the matter, just say it."

"I have heard a few songs these days. In our school, there is a boy who doesn't know what grade he is in. Anyway, after school every afternoon, he secretly hides on the roof and sings. I heard a few songs. The song is quite nice, so I went online to look up the name of the song, but I couldn’t find it, I couldn’t find anything, what’s going on?”

"Hey, what am I supposed to do, just ask me here? I said Miss, do you know that this girl is worth tens of millions every minute, you nonsense..."

"Stop it, talk about something!"

"What can I say about this matter, you go up and ask and it's over!"

"If I'm willing to go up and ask, why don't I ask you? They secretly practice singing after school, just to make it clear that they don't want people to hear it! You don't know, these high school kids are more face-saving than each other, I don't care Willing to go up and poke people."

"You can do it!... Can't find it online?"

"Can't find it!"

"Basically all the songs you can hear and buy on the market can be found online. Anyway, I know that all the works of all the singers in our company are listed on the website, and my songs are also there. Those songs can be listened to for free at any time, but they can’t be downloaded. As long as they are on the website, in theory, they can be found. If they can’t be found, there is only one possibility... Whether it’s the boy you heard He wrote it, or he heard it from other places, in short... an underground song!"

"Underground song?"

"Think about it, how many people are writing songs every year in our country? How many works do we have every year? But how many songs can we really make the record companies, producers and singers fall in love with? What do you want? Isn’t it because you can’t see the light? Songs like that are underground songs.”

Qi Jie suddenly realized.

"Then I..."

"If you want to hear it, just go and ask! You are too hypocritical!"

Qi Jie blinked and blinked, and didn't pay attention to Liao Liao's words at all. She just thought in her heart: It seems that if you want to hear that song often in the future, you can only go up and ask?

…………

The surroundings are in a trance of pink, I can't tell whether it is fog or gauze, but it is a strange and provocative color.

Dimly, Li Qian only felt that there was someone in his arms, who seemed to be his girlfriend Xiaoxia from the previous life, but when he looked at it again, it seemed to be Wang Jinglu... Well, anyway, they are not outsiders.

However, occasionally a look drifted over, and Li Qian felt that she seemed to be Teacher Qi...

Then...he suddenly woke up.

The room was dark.

The large ceiling fan whirred slowly.

He pushed back the towel and sighed.

At this moment, all the sensations in the whole body came back, um, sticky.

Sighing softly, he groped for the switch, snapped it, and turned on the light in the room.

This is... the third time after being reborn!

"Sure enough, the life of a single man is hard!" he thought to himself.

Then he got up, opened the door carefully, slipped into the bathroom and turned on the light. After finding the toilet paper, he took off his clothes carefully and wiped it with the toilet paper first.

Well, I didn't say anything, I have to wash it again.

Take a basin, connect it to the water and rinse it first, then change the water, pour in washing powder, and start rubbing.

He found it uncomfortable to squat, so he put the basin in the washbasin.

When he looked up, he saw his face in the mirror.

Well, although this face is much prettier than in the previous life, but... three to seven points is really very dirty.

Ever since he watched "Kung Fu", he had the same conditioned reflex, as long as he saw three or seven points, he would subconsciously think of the barber with his buttocks half exposed. Since then, the last ten years of his last life have always been board inches.

After washing his underwear and drying them, he yawned involuntarily, and was about to go back to change his underwear and go back to sleep when he suddenly saw his face in the mirror again.

Well, the beard on the chin and lips has begun to grow, although the color is still very light, not dense enough, the same hair, but... seventeen years old!

Suddenly, Li Qian felt that he really wanted to shave.

There was Papa Li's razor next to him. Li Qian skillfully puttyed it, smoothed it evenly, and then carefully shaved with that antique razor.

After shaving, I washed my face and dried it, and looked in the mirror again. Well, the greenness has faded a lot, and I feel more energetic.

Then, suddenly, he sighed.

He knew that no matter how much he had planned in his heart, in the past two days, he had indeed become impatient. Although I sang fiercely in the afternoon, it was a vent, but...

"Why don't you take out a few songs and deliver them to the record company?"

"No, no, no, I'm not ready yet! Even if I cast it now, nine out of ten will go nowhere. Even if someone finds it, I don't think it will be taken seriously. No matter how good the song is, if it falls An inappropriate singer...if the other party's strength is not good, it's a waste!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we still have time. Be at peace! Be at peace..."

…………

At 8:03 in the morning, there was another knock on the door.

Then the door was pushed open, and a voice said: "Xiao Jie, if you don't get up again, your dad and I will have to eat! This girl, what's the matter today, and you've learned to stay in bed? Hurry up!"

There was a humming sound on the bed, and then the quilt squirmed for a while, a face with sleepy eyes and shaggy hair stretched out, glanced at the person standing at the door, closed his eyes uncontrollably, and continued He groaned a few times, and began to act like a baby, "Mom...I'm still sleepy..." While speaking, the quilt was pulled up again and covered his head.

A voice in the living room outside said: "If you can't afford it, you will lift her quilt!"

The person at the door smiled when he heard the words, walked to the bed, and looked at the baby girl on the bed with a bit of distress, "What's the matter? You stayed up late last night? Why are you still sleepy at eight o'clock?"

The quilt was lifted reluctantly, and after great efforts, the lucid consciousness finally temporarily overcome the drowsiness, Qi Jie reluctantly opened his eyes and pouted, "My dad doesn't love me at all."

Qi's mother smiled again when she heard the words, "This child... It's alright, the person who is about to get married is still acting like a baby, do you think you are still young?"

As soon as she heard that she was going to get married, a certain string in Qi Jie's mind suddenly tensed up, no matter how reluctant she was, she had already woken up. She sat up helplessly, still pouted, "Mom, I have a headache..."

Qi's mother shook her head helplessly, and reached out to rub her head.

In the living room outside the door, Qi's father said: "Let me just say, get married early and finish the job, this is exhausting..."

Qi Jie became more and more dissatisfied when she heard the words, and couldn't help but said: "Dad, is there a father like you? You are so looking forward to my marriage, and you can't let me stay at home for another year? I feel sorry for you and my mother ,otherwise……"

Before she could finish speaking, Qi's father said "Hey" and said, "If you really love me and your mother, you can save yourself such an annoying effort, and go and grind Xiaoliang when you get married!"

Qi Jie stopped talking, just pouted her mouth high.

…………

In fact, Qi Jie lay down before ten o'clock last night, but for some reason, she couldn't fall asleep. She simply got up and read a novel with her laptop, and saw two o'clock in the morning in one breath, and was so sleepy that she yawned. Lie down and fall asleep.

The reason why I can't sleep is mainly because of... that song.

She really really loves that song!

But fortunately, I enjoyed reading that novel last night, and when I woke up, it seemed that all the eagerness to move was hidden in my heart again. It seems that as long as you don't touch or think about them, they no longer exist!

Life, isn't that what it is!

It's just that she wants to listen to that song again!

…………

After Qi Jie lingeringly got up and washed up, Qi's parents and Qi's mother had already changed into the clothes for going out. Seeing that the baby girl finally got up, Qi's mother brought the hot breakfast on the stove to her daughter, and after a few instructions, put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen and wait for her to come back to wash, and then go out - the old couple are both theater fans Well, Dad Qi is even a semi-professional actor in the amateur group of the Peking Opera Association of Jinan Prefecture. Today Zhou Mo, there is a fan activity organized by their amateur group at Daming Lake Park in the morning, and the old couple will go to participate.

Seeing that the old couple left after changing their shoes, Qi Jie pouted and looked at them, "There are no such irresponsible parents like you who left the daughter at home and ran out to play by themselves..."

Qi's father and Qi's mother have long been used to this, so if they ignore her, they should go as they should.

…………

After breakfast, she sat at the dining table lazily for a while, Qi Jie then got up and packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen. After washing her hands, she sat on the sofa again in a daze.

If she can't sleep anymore, she doesn't have the habit of sleeping during the day, but what should she do?

Well, keep reading the novel.

However, before the laptop was turned on and entered the desktop, a feeling of irritability welled up in her heart.

With a snap, she closed the notebook and leaned back on the sofa again.

Marry, marry, marry...

Shaking her head, she decided to go out for a stroll and go shopping.

Because she doesn't have the habit of putting on makeup, she just changed her upper body casually, and then went downstairs to pick up the car with her keys and wallet. In ten minutes, she arrived at the pedestrian street she often goes to. If she wanted to leave, she would park the car, turn off the engine, pull out the key, open the door, and get out of the car...

There were several audio-visual stores on the side of the road, and they were playing music, which was very noisy. At that moment, that irritability came to her heart again-with a bang, she sat back in the car and closed the door.

After being dazed for a while, she lit the ignition, reversed the car, and went straight to No. 13 Middle School.
