Trainee

Li Qi placed the tray in his hand on the long white table casually, and asked as he walked over, "Why did you come here? Didn't your father take you inside?"

Xia Le curled her lips and said, "It's meaningless at all. I recognized a group of people, and my smiling face froze, and they all look similar, and they all look like Maitreya Buddha. How can I remember who is who?" He leaned closer, sneaked in the dark and looked outside, "There are a lot of people here today, hey Li Qi, how are you rehearsing with them, the band members are all newbies and haven't performed formally yet. It’s just that Xiao Ning had one or two experiences before, by the way, I just saw bass and drums backstage, where is Xiao Ning?”

Li Qi said, "Let's go."

Xia Le was surprised: "Why?"

"She wanted to change the song, but I didn't agree." Li Qi leaned on the long table with his hands folded in front of his chest, and told him about the things in the lounge, with a mocking smile on his lips, and said, "The one you brought A few kids even asked if they should go after it, look at you being so used to it, those who didn’t know thought the band belonged to her.”

Xia Le immediately said: "Let her go!"

After he finished speaking, he smiled flatteringly at Li Qi: "Li Qi, my lead singer has run away, so you can sing! Your university also chose city S, right? We are still together, just like before."

Li Qi said vaguely, "Let's talk about it later."

Xia Le swallowed the words that came to his lips, stared at Li Qi with both eyes, looking for a reason to talk, and asked him: "By the way, which song did you take them to practice? Will you just go up and sing "basketcase"? We have sung so many times, and I have also led them to practice for a long time, there is no problem with this."

Li Qi rolled his eyes. He thought of Xia Le's words in the lounge just now, "Can your dad hold on to singing this song later?"

Xia Le said calmly: "It's better than me jumping up and howling."

"No." Li Qi directly refused. The lyrics of this song are a bit self-indulgent, like a happy psycho, which really fits Xia Le's temperament. He also likes it quite a bit, but this kind of punk song is generally not accepted by the older generation. "I changed the song, which is also the one we sang before."

Xia Le's curiosity arose immediately, "Which one? Which one?"

Just as he was about to keep asking, he saw Secretary Jin walking over from afar.Secretary Jin sent him a tie, and he glanced at Xia Le's open neckline, with disapproval in his eyes, and whispered to him: "Xia Le, what Boss Xia said just now is a bit too much, but you also Be careful, after all, many of Mr. Xia's friends will be here tonight, so there is nothing wrong with your proper attire."

"So what, he is with his friend, and I am with my friend!"

Secretary Jin disapproved, but he endured it and still didn't say anything, he just said: "Mr. Xia is waiting a bit impatiently, please fasten your tie."

Xia Le was not happy when he heard it, and said angrily: "See you again? How much is it, there is no end to pay back."

"Mr. Xia is also doing it for your own good..." Secretary Jin looked at his watch a few times, and he had too many things to do, so he could only stuff the tie into Xia Le's hand, sighed and said, "I'll go there first, and you should come quickly too." , don’t make your dad angry anymore, you know?”

Secretary Jin left in a hurry without waiting for Xia Le to reply.

Xia Le stood there holding the tie, without saying a word, just pouted while holding it in his hand.

Li Qi stretched out his hand to him, and said, "I'll come."

Xia Le's dog-like temper would bite everyone when he saw him, but when Li Qi asked, he could only reluctantly hand over the tie.

Sitting sideways on the long dining table, Li Qi shortened the height difference between the two of them. While reaching out to tie Xia Le's tie, Li Qi sighed, "I said, life is not easy for you as a prince."

Xia Le looked sleepy, but he still let him put it on: "It's like wearing a collar for me, and I'm going out for a walk for others to see."

Li Qi's men paused, smiled, and said nothing.

After fastening the tie, Li Qi looked him up and down to make sure it was all right, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, hurry up and go, I'm going to perform in a while."

Xia Le hooked the tight part of the tie with her fingers, and looked at a large dog that was put on a collar abruptly, and heard him ask: "You just go up like this? Or should I..."

Li Qi flicked his brains on Xia Le's forehead, and didn't leave him with a single thought: "Don't worry about it, super-level performance is enough, and the stage can't be ruined."

Xia Le's cell phone rang, and his father was in a hurry, and he must have said something serious again, so he left reluctantly.

Li Qi glanced at the time, got up and went to find other people in the band.

The lights of the temporary stage set up on the lawn flickered on and off, looking mysterious through the curtain, and behind the curtain, the band members were making final preparations.The drum kit had already been moved up, the drummer was nervous and a little overwhelmed, the bass player comforted him a few words, but he himself was not much better, his calves were fighting.

When Li Qi passed by, both of them showed expressions of relief, as if seeing a savior, they immediately stood up and shouted: "Senior! Here!"

Li Qi supported the edge of the stage with one hand and jumped up. Seeing the pale faces of the two of them, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, you don't feel well?"

The bassist shook his head and said dryly, "No, it's just nervous."

Li Qi patted their shoulders and said with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, we were not famous before, and no one knows us if we sing badly."

The two smiled and felt less stressed.

The bass player looked at Li Qi's outfit, he was still wearing the vest and trousers, and couldn't help but asked, "Senior, are you going to sing in this soon?"

The drummer also looked over. He could usually see how much trouble Xiao Ning had put into it. Every time there was any event, he would wear gorgeous clothes. Tonight alone, Xiao Ning brought two sets of clothes.Senior Li Qi just stood and sang in this waiter's clothes?It's not ugly, it's just...

Li Qi said, "I'll tidy up and it will be ready soon."

As he spoke, he took off his glasses, took off his slim vest, and continued to unbutton his shirt without stopping his fingers.He unbuttoned the top three buttons of his white shirt, looked around, and saw an ice bucket next to him, stirred his fingers in the crushed ice twice to get some cold water, and pushed his hair back Lifting up, revealing the smooth forehead and handsome facial features, the water dripped from the head, rolling down the cheeks to the neck and chest, it was indescribably alluring under the night light.

He licked his fingers and said, "There's no hair gel, so let's make do with it."

The bass player stared at Li Qi dumbfounded, still holding Li Qi's guitar in his hand, and when he saw that he wanted it, he handed it to him in a daze, forgetting what he was about to say just now.

A beauty in the dark of night, a half-worn wooden guitar, contradictory yet exceptionally harmonious, plucking the strings with pale fingers, this time the action is dangerous and somewhat provocative, like a different person, but One action immediately turned the hostess in this place and on this stage.

Li Qi tried it and felt satisfied: "It's done, let's open!"

And in the clubhouse opposite the stage, lead singer Xiao Ning couldn't sit still anymore.

She waited for a while, deliberately sitting in the most conspicuous position near the hall, waiting for those people to come and call her back, but after waiting and waiting, no one came.She couldn't help but look at the time, she didn't have much time to leave, and she began to feel regretful, but it was too late to say anything now, so she could only grit her teeth and find it by herself.

She hurried to the lounge, but people had already gone to hollow it out, and even the drum set was not left behind. Xiao Ning couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. She slammed the door with a "bang", and immediately ran to the corridor again, stretching out her hand. I pushed open the two or three lounges next door to look, but there was no one, not a single one.

When she wanted to open a few more rooms, she was stopped by the waiter, who politely but firmly stopped her. The people who come here are either rich or expensive, and they are not easy to explain to others if they have affected other people so recklessly. .The waiter asked her, "Hi, who are you looking for?"

Xiao Ning's face turned pale, and he was a little incoherent: "What's the matter, what about them, those who sang just now are the band that will perform on stage tonight..."

The waiter said: "Oh, they are already making preparations for the stage, and all the instruments have been moved there."

Xiao Ning's eyes widened and he screamed, "Impossible! I'm the lead singer, and I haven't arrived yet. How can they prepare? They can't find anyone else to sing!"

She ignored the waiter after she finished speaking, and quickly pushed him away and stumbled to the stage area, but when she was about to squeeze past, all the lights went dark for a moment, and then the sound of drummers sounded, one after another, Playful yet steady, he is more anxious than usual, as if he is about to introduce a guest who is about to appear.

Then a humming began, and the male voice sang hoarsely. At the same time as the last half of the stanza soared, the instruments blared in unison, and several blindfolds exploded in an instant. At the same time, the lights chased him!All the light was concentrated on that charming boy. There was no modification on that face, but the whole person was thick and thick like a cloud of blurred ink. Coupled with that handsome pale face, the corners of his mouth She smiled casually, but she was more charming than ever under the lights.

Xiao Ning's face was ugly, biting his lip and standing there staring at the person on the stage, his eyes were bloodshot.How could it be him, how could this person go to the stage to sing...? !
