Bliss

No.1 is simply wishful thinking. "

"You're right... But in this way, wouldn't it be boring for us to participate in the competition?" Ji Rui raised his head innocently.

"I only hope that you can enter the top five. No, it's OK to enter the finals. Your task is to impress the audience as much as possible and lay the foundation for signing with Stardust." Shen Xuanyu glanced at the expressions on the faces of the four members, "Don't relax just because this requirement seems to be very low. In fact, this is precisely the most difficult."

"That's right, it's not easy to attract the attention of the audience when the ranking is not high. If you use a more extreme method, if you are not careful, you will be called grandstanding." He Yuan nodded.

"It's useless to think about that now. Although it is said to plan ahead, the most important thing now is to practice quickly. After all, we have been disbanded for so long, and everyone is quite unfamiliar." Chu Yi has been playing a short melody repeatedly. , so as to familiarize yourself with a certain fingering.

Shen Xuanyu nodded in agreement: "There is not much time, you should hurry up and practice, as for how to attract the attention of others in the game, I will leave it to my consultant to plan."

"In short, the competition is just a springboard." Kang Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly gave a concluding speech, and the drumsticks were twirled in his hand.

"Bingo." Shen Xuanyu said and stood up, "Then you guys practice first, I've been busy with work recently, so I'll supervise you when I'm free."

"Ah, by the way, Eternal is going to release a new single recently, right?" Ji Rui suddenly looked at Shen Xuanyu with bright eyes, and the latter nodded at him.

"I will buy the original version to support you, can you please help me get the signature of your bass player Jiang Yao?"

"Of course no problem." Shen Xuanyu smiled at Ji Rui.

"Great! I've hated his SLAP technique for ages, thank you."

"It's just a small matter." Shen Xuanyu turned and walked towards the door, passing by Chu Yi's side, he quietly blew in his ear, and blinked his left eye provocatively when the other party stared at him.

That bastard... Chu Yi stared sharply at Shen Xuanyu's leaving back.

"Wow, it's like a dream..." Ji Rui put down the bass and stood up with an exaggerated expression, "That Shen Xuanyu from Eternal actually became our consultant without any airs, even found a venue for us, and even came to see us practice in person ...A Yi, you are so charming! Thanks to you, I was able to get the CD signed by Jiang Yao."

"Hey, what's attractive or not, don't talk nonsense..." Chu Yi almost choked on his own saliva, "He's just meddling in his own business to find a new band for his company, and he happened to be our fan .”

"Actually, you are the only one he fancies the most. I always feel that he looks at you differently from others." He Yuan said that casually, while setting up the Lime and connecting it to the speaker.

However, because the microphone and the speaker were too close together, there was a very sharp and piercing noise, and the other three people covered their ears one after another. In the noise.

"Leader, what did you just say? I didn't hear the second half of the sentence." Chu Yi put down his hands covering his ears, and looked at He Yuan suspiciously.

"It's nothing..." He Yuan smiled at Chu Yi. He accidentally said what he thought in his heart just now. In fact, he knew that he shouldn't say such words without any basis, "Well, let's play a simpler song first. Well, just "Meteor" is fine, have you brought the score? Do you want to practice each other first?"

Successfully diverting everyone's attention away, He Yuan hummed first.

In fact, every song that everyone created together during the Elysium period was deeply imprinted in their hearts. Before finding the practice venue, everyone was familiar with the previous songs, so there was no waste of time. The first practice in the sense.

Although it is the same melody, the same equipment, and the same four people, the influence of time is so obvious.

For the first time, He Yuan yelled to stop before the chorus part was finished.

"Chu Yi, adjust the EQ of the effector again. The low frequency is a bit high, and your movements are obviously stiff when you strum the strings. Ray, the way you played just now is from the previous band. It's best to return to it as soon as possible. It’s our own style. Kang Chen, your rhythm is still very accurate, but your strength seems to be a bit lacking. After working as an office worker for two years, your arm strength has deteriorated... In addition, there is also myself. I haven’t sung for a long time, and my treble is a bit tight .”

He Yuan's words hit the point, and the other three nodded in agreement.

"I have to say that the Leader is very courageous when he is serious, and suddenly he thinks you are so handsome." Ji Rui looked over with admiration.

"Nonsense, don't I usually look handsome? Everyone adjust and reunite."

In the practice again and again, the tacit understanding in the past was finally slowly awakened. After all, it was a band that had been together for more than 3 years. Full of powerful and infectious rock music.

Although there is no spectator or listener, they still regard the place where they are as a stage, and play every note with all their strength. Each person controls a different part, intertwined with each other to form a beautiful melody, and the degree of coordination gradually increases. The emotion of the year finally came slowly.

complete

The first day of practice ended smoothly, and they took the car of Young Master Kang Chen back to the city.

Ji Rui sat in the passenger seat carelessly, while He Yuan and Chu Yi had to sit in the back row.

Perhaps because of being tired, He Yuan and Chu Yi didn't talk much along the way, and Kang Chen was originally taciturn, so only the cheerful Ji Rui was left to play the role of adjusting the atmosphere.

"Sure enough, my own band is better. I didn't feel so in tune with the previous band when I practiced." Ji Rui opened the car window a little, and the cool breeze at night poured into the car instantly, "It's like a bed partner, I still get used to it." Good job."

"What kind of metaphor are you talking about..." He Yuan stared at the front from the back seat.

"But it's quite appropriate." Chu Yi chuckled.

"That's right, so I feel the happiest when I'm with everyone in Elysium." Ji Rui stretched his waist, stretching his muscles and bones in the small space in the car. The paw stretched out in front of Kang Chen, blocking his sight.

Kang Chen, who was driving the car seriously, immediately showed an unhappy expression, and frowned: "If you interfere with my driving again, I will leave you in this wilderness."

"Wow, Ah Chen, you are so scary..." Ji Rui quickly retracted his hands, and the two people in the back seat couldn't help laughing.

"It's still Kang Chen who can suppress Ray."

"One thing falls one thing."

Because the families of Chu Yi and He Yuan live near the subway station, while Ji Rui’s family lives in a place with relatively inconvenient transportation, so Kang Chen put them near the subway station and drove Ji Rui away. .

Chu Yi and He Yuan walked into the subway station while chatting one after another. There was no one in the station, it was deserted and empty, and the electronic screen counted down the time until the next subway came into the station.

"Chu Yi, what happened after that?" He Yuan asked suddenly, with a seemingly casual expression.

"Ah? What happened after that?" Chu Yi, who was still thinking about a certain fingering technique just now, raised his head blankly, just in time to meet He Yuan's gaze.

"You said before that Shen Xuanyu wanted to help us reorganize the band, but you refused. Then you suddenly agreed to reorganize. It must be because of something happened? What happened after Shen Xuanyu went to you for the first time and was rejected by you?" He Yuan stared at Chu Yi without hesitation.

"No, I said that I don't want to give up my dream."

"There must be a more important reason, you can't hide it from me." He Yuan turned his head and looked into the dark tunnel, as if he could vaguely hear the sound of the subway approaching, "I know your personality best. Stubbornly reluctant to regroup, you don't suddenly change your mind if something doesn't happen to shake you."

"I……"

When the subway entered the station, Chu Yi's voice was interrupted.

The two entered the empty compartment one after the other and sat down side by side.

Shen Xuanyu has already helped me pay off my debts; Shen Xuanyu has untied my knots for me.

I don't know how He Yuan will react if he tells these words...

So the most important close friend around for many years is He Yuan, subconsciously he even treats him as a relative.

Chu Yi is afraid of any potential factors that will affect their relationship, and Shen Xuanyu has done so many things that others cannot understand, Chu Yi is really not sure that He Yuan will not think about certain aspects.

To put it bluntly, Chu Yi was afraid, afraid that He Yuan would despise him because of this.

"If you really don't want to say it, forget it." He Yuan smiled and lowered his head, and suddenly raised his eyes to look over, "In short, I respected your wishes when you were unwilling to reorganize before. But now, if you wish It is to make Elysium debut and become popular, then I will try my best to help you realize this wish.”

"How far..."

"Don't say thank you." The man sitting next to him said that first, and the "thank you" that was stuck in his mouth couldn't be said. Chu Yi suddenly felt that He Yuan was a little different from usual at this moment, but where was the difference?
