Chu Anqing had no particular concept of bars and pubs and felt that they were all the same.
The two of them found a nearby pub and went in.
As soon as they entered, the lighting dimmed, creating a special atmosphere.
There weren’t many people in the pub now, just a few scattered groups of customers sitting around, as it was still early.
They found a spot and sat down.
Both ordered a drink and chatted comfortably against the backdrop of relaxing background music.
They talked about a lot.
About childhood, interests, hobbies, life, study, work, aerospace, space-time particles, the end of the universe…
They talked about everything.
Yet, they could talk about anything together.
It was then that Lin Xian realized, Chu Anqing also liked watching movies.
However, this was no news.
Last year in New York Manhattan, the center of the world, her imitation of the “Titanic” pose, and the words from “The Truman Show,” had clearly shown her love for movies.

She was a drama queen just like VV.
Lin Xian reckoned that if VV could come out of the earphones, it would get along very well with Chu Anqing.
Suddenly…
He remembered what VV had said at noon.
Just to be cautious, he asked Chu Anqing:
“Have you ever had a dog?”
“Huh?”
Chu Anqing did not expect Lin Xian to ask this question; she shook her head:
“No, never.
Our family has never had pets.
Because…
I don’t really like cats and dogs and the like.”
“Wuu wuu wuu wuu!!!!
Wah wah wah!!!!” Inside the earphones, VV burst into tears, sounding like it had shed a ton of them, filling Lin Xian’s ears with water.
He directly took off the Bluetooth earphones and put them in the box, refusing to be polluted by the noise.
Sweep———
At that moment, the sound of a guitar strum echoed from the stage in the middle of the bar.
A short-haired girl wearing a beret was sitting on a chair, legs crossed, with a still vibrating guitar on her lap.
Apparently, the strum had come from her.
Lin Xian looked at his watch.
Unknowingly, it was already half-past nine, time for the resident singer to take the stage.
It was the segment Chu Anqing had been looking forward to.
Turning his head, indeed, Chu Anqing was already staring with wide eyes, transfixed on the beautiful and artsy female singer.
Sweep———
Another strum sounded as the beret-wearing singer slowly lifted her head, sitting in the only bright spot, her misty eyes gazing at the dimly lit bar ahead:
“Perhaps I can still see your news online,”
“Perhaps the songs I sing are still in your phone,”
“Perhaps my ‘Love You’ is buried in the heart as a secret,”
“Perhaps when you are thinking of me…
I am also thinking of you…”
…
The singer, full of emotion, sang “No More Contact” with such pathos, and her guitar skills were top-notch.
Combined with her gentle acapella, it was a performance that couldn’t help but immerse the audience in memories.
“She sings so well…”
Chu Anqing listened and whispered in admiration.
Lin Xian nodded in agreement:
“Every time I hear this song, it makes me think of a person.”
“Who?” Chu Anqing asked curiously.
“Li Qiqi.”
Lin Xian said:
“It’s Liu Feng’s girlfriend…
his girlfriend who passed away.”
He told Chu Anqing about Liu Feng and Li Qiqi.
Chu Anqing was choked up for a moment.
Became melancholy:
“I really didn’t expect, Teacher Liu Feng had experienced such a thing.
That day when he comforted me, he did mention it, but I…
didn’t think in that direction.”
“Although going blind in a meteor shower that fulfills wishes can be considered a form of completeness, it’s…
after all, a tragic story.
It still makes one’s heart ache involuntarily, and what makes me not know whether to be sad or touched is…
”
“Elder Sister Li Qiqi, she actually had such faith in Teacher Liu Feng, believed that his ‘Introduction to the Cosmological Constant’ was correct.
Even though so many people said it was wrong, countless experiments proved it was wrong, meaningless, but Elder Sister Qiqi just had such unwavering belief.”
“This is probably…
what love is.”
Chu Anqing shook her head:
“I’ve never been in love, and only know about this concept through novels and movies.
But it’s also just a superficial understanding, I don’t understand what love is, nor do I know what love should be like, but now I suddenly have a tangible feeling about this elusive thing…
”
She raised her head, looking at Lin Xian:
“Perhaps love is just like what Elder Sister Qiqi felt for Teacher Liu Feng.”
“Even if the entire world denies Liu Feng, she still believes he is right”
“Even if the whole world stands against Liu Feng, she will always stand in front of him;”
“While she was alive, she would never let Liu Feng be lonely, always accompanying her;”
“Even after passing away, she wanted to become a star in the sky, shining over him, watching him, caring for him…”
Chu Anqing lifted her head even higher, looking at the colorful decorative lights on the roof of the bar, twinkling and slowly turning off or on, like breathing stars.
“I really hope…
Elder Sister Qiqi truly became a star.”
“She did.”
Lin Xian replied:
“At least in Liu Feng’s eyes, every star in the sky is called Qiqi.
All he needs to do is look up at the night sky to receive an embrace from the entire universe.”
Behind,
another soft chord sounded, signifying the end of a song, the closing of a life chapter.

Scattered but polite applause rose in the bar.
To acknowledge, to thank for the touching performance.
Chu Anqing bit her lower lip.
She was on the verge of saying something.
But in the end…
She held her drink tightly in both hands, raised her head, and looked at Lin Xian:
“Actually…
when I heard the lyrics of this song, I also thought of someone.
I always feel, she and Elder Sister Qiqi are the same.
Even before you told me the story of Elder Sister Qiqi and Teacher Liu Feng…
I felt that way.”
“The lyrics of this song, I feel, are about her life, her thoughts, her eyes.
The first time I looked into her eyes, I felt that she truly is a lonely and strong person, one who doesn’t give in, yet has a soft heart.”
“Who is it?”
Lin Xian was also curious about who Chu Anqing could be thinking of.
“Elder Sister Huang Que.”
Chu Anqing, as if resolved, pushed the name out with difficulty:
“Senior Lin Xian, actually, I lied to you about something.”
Her expression became sad, and she said softly:
“Actually, that night in the practice room, my encounter with Elder Sister Huang Que was not as I previously described, that she came down from upstairs to find me.”
“Elder Sister Huang Que, she…
I discovered something about her.
But she made me promise, emphatically, not to tell you, very seriously, very sternly.
So, I agreed to her and have kept it to myself until now.”
“But now…
having heard the story you told me, about Li Qiqi and Liu Feng…
”
Chu Anqing gritted her teeth.
Firmly nodded.
Her gaze earnestly on Lin Xian:
“I’ve decided to tell you the truth!”
