After receiving my instructions, Xiao Wu turned around and walked backstage in an extremely awkward position, holding the guitar, but my uneasiness did not decrease at all, because I was not sure whether Mi Cai and Jian Wei saw the two silver lines.

I pretended to be calm and returned to Jian Wei. She looked even calmer than me. Her slender and fair fingers gently tapped the tabletop, but her attention was on the desk. It seemed that she didn't plan to say anything to me again.

After a while, I finally asked her, "How are you looking at the TV book?"

Jian Wei smiled and said, "It's almost done, when will the event start?"

Her smile finally made me feel relieved, and I replied with a smile: "Start on time at 7 o'clock."

Jian Wei looked at the time and said, "There are 20 minutes left. I will pass the script again. You can go and do your business."

I nodded, left immediately, and then came to Mi Cai again. The mood that had just calmed down began to feel uneasy again, but I still looked very calm and asked, "How are you preparing for those two songs?"

"Nothing wrong."

Looking at her usual calm appearance, I felt relieved again, and smiled before saying, "That's good, that's good..."

"Why would you say two in a row? Are you afraid that I will make a mess?"

I am really grateful to Mi Cai for giving me such a good reason to hide her panic, and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I'm just afraid that you will make a mistake. After all, you have never been exposed to these two songs before."

"Don't worry, I won't make a spoiler."

After Mi Cai finished speaking, she smiled at me, and I felt more relieved because of this smile, and was sure that the guitar storm was resolved so easily.

...

It was soon 7 o'clock in the evening, and there were already dense firecrackers outside the bar, and the new year was about to arrive in a few hours.

The event officially began. The waiter prepared food for the customers, and Jian Wei also stood on the small stage to host the small party. As usual, she sent New Year's message to customers on behalf of the bar, and then entered the official stage of the event.

The first thing I went up to sing was Mi Cai, and the song was the song "Spring Equinox". Her singing lived up to expectations and soon brought the first little **. Many customers also followed her to sing. Many people who could sing this song on the spot also proved that the customers who came here to consume had a strong literary tendency. I also believed that this bar would become a place where some people in this city live.

After Micai's singing, many customers asked to take photos with her. In fact, Micai's many singing in the bar has cultivated a small number of loyal fans. Micai seemed to be in a good mood and did not refuse the group photo requests of these people. She even drank a few glasses of wine with them.

Jian Wei's host work is also done well. She incited talented customers to perform the show in the middle of the event. The atmosphere on the scene was always very active under her mobilization, which made me think she was in a good mood. It was not until the event ended at 9 o'clock that I realized that I was wrong!

...

It was 9:30 in the evening, and the customers in the bar were still in high spirits drinking, chatting, and singing. I came outside the bar to see Jian Wei off.

Breathing the fresh air outside, I lit a cigarette before saying to Jian Wei: "This time you must ask me to say thank you. You really helped the event tonight!"

"Is that true?" Jian Wei frowned.

Her frown made me think I had hallucinations. After all, my smile had hardly broken on her face before leaving the bar, so I didn't care too much and told me, "You drive slowly on the road. Now there are still several hours before 12 o'clock, and I will definitely arrive in Shanghai."

Jian Wei's eyes suddenly flashed with tears, and she looked at me with her lips tightly.

At this moment, I finally confirmed that her frown just now was not my hallucination, and then asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

After a long silence, Jian Wei finally asked me: "Zhaoyang, aren't you going to say anything to me about that guitar?"

My heart suddenly became tight, and I let out a deep breath of cigarette before asking, "Did you see it all?"

Jian Wei smiled with tears in her eyes but with a sarcastic smile: "I have deeply engraved every detail of that guitar box in my mind. Do you think I can't recognize those two silver lines?"

"But you?..."

"But why I still pretend to be nothing, right?"

I felt panicked, but nodded anyway. I really wanted to know what force was supporting her to look as if nothing had happened.

"I don't want to mess up your event because of my emotions, but now the event is over, you have to give me an explanation and take it away, why did it appear in the hands of the drummer?"

I snuffed out the cigarette in my hand and picked up another one. After a long time, I said in a low voice: "I'll sell him the guitar."

Tears that had been rotating in Jian Wei's eyes instantly fell down her fair cheeks. She asked with pain, "Why did you sell this guitar, and why do you sell it?"

"This means the guitar of the past I don't want to stay with me anymore, okay?"

Jian Wei nodded: "Yes, you are right, it means that we should not stay with us in the past!"

I took another heavy breath of cigarette, and my heart was so depressed that I didn't know how to reply to Jian Wei's words.

Jian Wei suddenly put down the handbag in her hand, then sat on the ground, and took off her red leather boots...

I looked at her in shock, not knowing what she was going to do.

At this time, she took off her socks again, and then I saw the gold ankle on her ankle. The memories suddenly surged, because this ankle was bought and given to her by the money I earned in a bar resident many years ago.

Jian Wei untied the anklet, then stood barefoot on the frozen ground, handed the anklet to me and said coldly: "I will give you this anklet you gave me now... Please give me the guitar too."

"Can you put on your shoes first? You will definitely catch a cold!"

Jian Wei ignored my concern at all, and there were still tears in her eyes, but her voice was full of determination: "Take this ankle from my hands."

Because of the extreme cold, her bare feet had already started to spasm, and then she was unsteadily standing and fell on me. At this moment, I didn't want to think too much. I picked up her shoes and socks from the ground, picked her up with both hands and walked towards her car.

The moment I was about to open the car door, I saw Mi Cai standing behind me in the rearview mirror of the car.

I didn't think much about it, so I opened the car door and carried Jian Wei in, then said to her: "I did something wrong with the guitar. If I really don't want to stay by my side, I should give it back to you, instead of selling it... Don't worry, I will take the guitar back and hand it back to you."
