下午七点，虽然冬天天黑得比较早，但相对于酒吧的热闹时段还是早了些。酒吧里人很少，显得有些冷清。
若恒随意坐在小舞台的边上，两脚在空中来回晃荡，显得有些孩子气。带着随性的笑容唱听不懂歌词的歌。
子澜和炘都坐在吧台边远远地看着，炘一脸高深莫测地看着渐渐多起来的人说：
“这就是美人效应，平时这个时候还基本没人呢！”
子澜瞟他一眼，说：
“他的歌唱得也很好啊。”
“呵呵，是啊，像他这类人，天生就适合站在聚光灯下。但也就是这类人，一点也不需要聚光灯来突显。”
子澜没有出声，只是静静地看着远处的若恒……
“接下来是今天的最后一首歌，还有，要和大家说声抱歉，因为我短时间内都不会来这里了，抱歉。”若恒倒是说得一脸无所谓，但酒吧里一片哀号之声。炘更是夸张地趴倒在吧台上。子澜偏偏头，很好笑的说：
“若恒好像明星啊~”
音乐声忽然响起，有种震慑人心的魔力。台中央的若恒微微分腿笔直地站着，如矗立于一片黑暗之中的光影。
“So I lay awake another hour
Just like the one before
The shadows play a game with my head
I can't take this anymore”
原来是Backstreet Boys的In Pieces
“I hear the sound
Of my own breathing
It makes me miss you more
Wake me up when it's over
After the ending
When the damage has all been done
I don't wanna be somewhere
Where you can watch me
As I bleed
Just leave me here in pieces
In pieces
I can't take the chance
Of running into
You running into me
So lock the door
And close the window
I just wanna see
Until the day
Inside my future
When I'll be on my feet
Wake me up when it's over
After the ending
When the damage has all been done
I don't wanna be somewhere
Where you can watch me
As I bleed
Just leave me here in pieces
In pieces
If you want you can find me
On the dark side of the sun
Babe I don’t wanna see what we've become
The damage has all been done
Wake me up when it's over
After the ending
When the damage has all been done
The damage is done
I don't wanna be somewhere
I don't wanna be somewhere
Where you can watch me as I bleed
Leave me here in pieces”
乐声轻轻落下，带着子澜不知怎么有些落寞的心情，也许这一刻，他已经有些明白若恒的痛……
看着从台上跳下来直接向这边走来的若恒，子澜一时间不知该作何反应。
“发什么呆啊？走了。”若恒轻轻弹了他一下。
“哦……”
若恒上楼去把妆卸了，顺带把衣服也换了——穿的跟一机车党似的。若恒这样对子澜评价他的衣服。
“走，吃饭去，算是给我庆生。”
“可是蛋糕还在宿舍啊……”难道再买一个？
若恒神秘一笑，托着郁闷中的小朋友直接闪人。
还是上次庆祝篮球赛获胜的那家餐馆，只是门口杵了根很眼熟的电线杆——提着蛋糕的代岳谦……
子澜瞄瞄若恒，心想他啥时候打的电话啊？
“你行啊，丢下美女跑来了？”若恒十分不厚道的挤兑他。
“别提了，迟到了几分钟，人小姑娘不乐意了，闹脾气来着。”代岳谦无所谓地打哈哈。“行了，赶紧进去了，我快饿扁了。”
若恒的二十岁生日过得很温暖，虽然不热闹，但却也刻骨铭心。
Mark：希望——我死灰复燃的心
是否会燃烧得更彻底？
