Chapter 127: It is difficult to advance and retreat
…
No. 233, Shibei Hutong, Shichahai
…
"I finally waited. Sitting behind the drum set, I couldn't see her singing this song, only her graceful back."
Controlling his facial muscles, Yan Qing naturally adjusted his sitting posture and found a more comfortable position to look at the TV.
The attentive Zhang Yameng on the side observed his hidden movements, his eyes filled with the spirit of gossip.
Miao Miao quickly glanced at the TV and found that Weng Huaijing was standing in front of the microphone. She curled her lips and continued to indulge in the Whisper app on her phone, muttering in a low voice:
"The discussion of "Ambiguous" on Huiyu has exploded. Qing'er brother's "don't break my heart" won't be like the first issue of "Li Sao", which lost the weekly champion single to
she…"
Yan Qing's attention was focused on the screen, and he didn't notice Miao Miao's thoughts at all.
The camera cuts from Weng Huaijing, who is standing upright in front of the microphone, holding an electric guitar, wearing a bun, a white shirt tied with a bow, and ripped cropped jeans, to Yan Qing in front of the drum set.
"Actually, we did two versions of this song, and the stage was handed back to Professor Weng... Professor Weng, and I was responsible for the harmony and accompaniment."
The self on the screen was already somewhat skilled in controlling the situation. Yan Qing noticed that the camera had given him a close-up, and his eyes were filled with tenderness.
"Is this the way I looked at her back? Is it explicit or not? Others would think that this look was directed at the camera... But she should be able to receive it... Fortunately..."
The old man's face turned red, and Yan Qing thought about the gains and losses.
The camera focused on Weng Huaijing again. She played the gorgeous and low intro, skillfully using the rocker to create a vibrato effect, and lightly tapping the beat with her right foot.
Yan Qing saw that when she sang the harmony of "my baby~" behind the drum set, Weng Huaijing seemed to make a less obvious turning movement, and she quickly controlled her movements.
Slightly raising her swan neck and smiling indifferently at the camera, Weng Huai began her interpretation of the song in a clear and elegant manner.
"During the recording, I felt that Professor Weng was like Li Na. He didn't look like her at all. His smile was so beautiful..."
Holding her chin and staring, Miao Miao spoke in a complicated tone.
Yan Qing and Zhang Yameng were both staring at the screen intently at this moment and did not pick up Miao Miao's objections.
In the close-up shot, Weng Huaijing seems to have entered some special state as Mr. Meow said. She has an intoxicating smile and her eyes are shining throughout.
Unlike Yan Qing's version of the song, which was full of nostalgia for the past, Weng Huaijing's singing style is psychedelic, ethereal and textured, with a smile at the end of every half-turn. She performed this song with ease and joy.
.
"All you have is your body
alluring beauty
All I have is my memory
Wonderful feeling my baby』
Entering the second verse, after singing "my baby", Weng Huaijing suddenly let go of the electric guitar with both hands, letting it hang down in front of him by the canvas strap.
She untied the bow at her waist and threw the shirt at her feet coolly, replacing it with a white one-line-collar waistless shirt.
The skin under Weng Huaijing's slender swan neck was as pale as snow, and the skin was like gelatin. It almost extended to the shoulders of the beautiful collarbone, and the lines had an intoxicating luster. At this moment, Yan Qing once again felt like she had shot her in the heart.
…
"Waiting alone
suffer in silence
Joy always appears in my dreams
don't break my heart
don't break
don't break
my break
…
On the screen, Weng Huaijing completely abandoned the playing of the electric guitar and moved her body gently to the rhythm of Yan Qing's drums like a white swan.
No longer stingy and showing a heart-warming smile, Weng Huaijing seemed to be completely immersed in her own world, and she sang and danced like no one else and completed the last chorus.
"I think wearing a hat saying "May you live forever" is considered brave enough!"
"I thought it was too explicit to show affection to the camera!"
Yan Qing just stared at the screen blankly, an idea firmly occupying his brain that was blank due to the computer downtime.
"This kind of Weng Huaijing truly loves innocently and bravely! It makes people feel ashamed...I have to do something more..."
The camera cuts to this issue's flying guests, and Yan Qing knows that there are many highlights in the following program:
"Seve" includes broken down action lessons in the practice room, a ghost dance competition for flying guests, another song "Ambiguous" that caused rushes and fierce competition, and his favorite Q&A session with Professor Xiao Heiwu.
But Yan Qing had no intention of reading any more. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and put on a perfectly tired expression.
"Xiao Meow, Lao Zhang, I'm sorry...ah..."
Standing up with a little effort, Yan Qing yawned. He apologized to Miao Miao and Zhang Yameng and continued: "I may be too tired today, so I have to go back and rest early."
…
"I ran back on impulse, only to find that I didn't have her mobile phone number and couldn't contact Bing Bing at all... I'll wait until we meet tomorrow to create an opportunity..."
After editing a long text message with nowhere to send it, Yan Qing took a moment to relax and then turned his attention to the vinyl gramophone in the master bedroom that he had brought up from the first floor.
After some fiddling, the vinyl record slowly started to rotate under the laser pointer, and Weng Huaijing’s studio version of “don’t break my heart” was slowly playing in the master bedroom.
"The recording effect of Ji Xianlin's private recording studio is even better than that of Flashing Star. For this reason, I will have to choose a good song for her when the time comes."
There is no need to deliberately control his expression, Yan Qing can finally act unscrupulously.
"In the performance version, the focus of her singing seems to be on these few lines. What I have is my memory/wonderful feeling/joy always appears in my dreams...Does this mean..."
"Dip~dip~dip~"
The cell phone he threw angrily on the bedside table suddenly rang.
Reaching out to pick up the phone, Yan Qing skillfully pushed open the sliding cover.
A text message sent by Shao Qing: [You must have noticed the longing eyes. Although she has never looked back at you, her eyes are full of love and happiness... Yan Qing
, remember your own promise...don’t make her sad again.]
"Yes, in the last round of metaphors, I clearly promised not to break her heart again, but fortunately I couldn't send the text message."
Feeling lucky, Yan Qing smiled bitterly and threw the phone under the pillow.
"What should I do... It's hard to advance, and it's hard to retreat... Telling the truth will make her heartbroken, and the guilt she chooses to hide in her heart will always jump out to torment me from time to time..."
For a long time, the retro gramophone played several songs.
"love or affection"
Borrow it for one night
All must be returned eventually
No need to be too greedy
Trapped in a dilemma, Yan Qing heard two lines of lyrics clearly in his ears. The words "love", "borrowing" and "greed" brought him happiness to his soul:
"King of the world, or son of hell... none of this matters anymore. Just like the metaphor in "Moonlight", I am willing to take all responsibility for my greed, not just because I like you, but...
I love you."

ps: Today’s episode is for Xiao Yusang’s return and to comfort the lovelorn Chang Jiang. It’s really a coincidence~ I think it’s easier for you to understand Yan Qing’s pain at this moment.
