are you a cat

Yechen was finally dragged by Xu Yuxing to their band's studio.

A group of six people divided into two cars and left. Once in the car, Xu Yuxing plugged an earphone into his ear before turning on the music player. He tilted his head towards Yechen and asked him, "Do you want to listen to music?" ?”

Ordinary people ask others whether they want to listen to the song or not, and they basically take out the earphones to signal, so there is no one like him who cuts first and then plays.

Yechen found that Xu Yuxing had no sense of boundaries in interpersonal communication at all.

For example, he always likes to move his hands and feet when talking, or for example, Xu Yuxing sat next to him after getting in the car, and the two of them had their legs next to their legs and shoulders against their shoulders.

Yechen moved to the side with a blank expression, opening up a gap between the two of them, but he didn't take off the earphones after all.

Xu Yuxing asked him what he usually listened to, Yechen glanced at his screen, Xu Yuxing tilted the phone so that he could see more clearly.

Yechen originally thought that rock people like them usually listened to hysterical rock, but at a glance, Xu Yuxing's endless playlist was all classical music.

He turned his head and looked out the window: "Whatever."

Two seconds later, the most popular Divine Comedy on the short video software nowadays sounded in the earphones, and the singer's pretentious voice made his scalp tingle.

He was stunned for a full two seconds before looking at Xu Yuxing with a look that was too complicated to describe.

I really want to knock open his brain to see what is inside?

Why can someone be torn like this?

His reaction was very funny, Xu Yuxing couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't this popular at your age?"

If the car was not driving on the viaduct now, Ye Chen really wanted to ask the driver to pull over immediately and leave.

He frowned and took Xu Yuxing's phone away, clicked on a sonata from his playlist, and threw the phone back on Xu Yuxing.

After that, no matter what Xu Yuxing said, he turned a deaf ear to it.

The taxi turns around and turns around, and the road gets more and more remote.

Even though Yechen was born and raised in Rongcheng, this is the first time he came to the old city west of the city.

The buildings on both sides of the cramped alley are old, and there are traces of renovation on the mottled walls. The lower corners are full of messy graffiti.

The sycamore trees with dense branches and leaves are staggered and crowded together. The sun shines through the leaves and falls on the floor tiles that have been trampled beyond recognition. The noisy cicadas chase the taxi all the way and stop at a rusty door. In front of the full iron gate.

There is a sign next to the iron gate, which says XX Company Warehouse. Because it has not been used for a long time, the words on the sign have been corroded by time, and Chen can barely make out these few words.

He followed Xu Yuxing out of the car, stepped through the iron gate and went inside, which was the warehouse rented by the band and remodeled.

This warehouse was probably abandoned for a long time before it was rented by the band. The yard and the walls were covered with unknown vines. Cleaning up the plants on the walls of the warehouse was a waste of all the efforts of the bosses. Without wanting to trouble himself, he managed to keep the wall of the entrance clean and tidy.

Further inside is the remodeled studio of the band. The nearly [-]-square-meter warehouse has no partitions, but the rest area and practice area are clearly divided.

The sunlight pouring down from the skylight just falls on the yellow-brown leather sofa, adding a touch of warmth to the interior with dark gray cement walls.

Right next to the sofa stood a painting that Ye Chen was very familiar with.

He looked at the person playing the violin with downcast eyes in the painting, with a complicated expression on his face.

Xu Yuxing didn't notice his gaze, and stood by the door as an invitation to enter: "Welcome to Toxic's secret base."

Ye Chen retracted his gaze and looked at the band members who came back in another car one step ahead of them.

Shen Mu occupied a double sofa by herself, she folded her legs and patted her side: "Brother, come to sister."

Although we have known each other before, Ye Chen is not the kind of person who is very sociable, especially he has no experience in getting along with the elderly, and he doesn't know whether to go or not when he is greeted by Shen Mu. He glanced at Xu Yuxing.

Xu Yuxing smiled lightly, raised his arm, and took Ye Chen half into his arms.

He hung his long arms on Yechen's shoulders, pushed the child down on the single sofa next to him, and said to Shen Mu at the same time: "Sister, do you know what you look like now?"

Shen Mu: "?"

Xu Yuxing: "A spider spirit who wants to eat Tang's monk meat."

"I want to eat you more." Shen Mu grabbed the pillow beside him and threw it on Xu Yuxing's body, jumping up and wanting to strike.

"Hey, brother." The colorful snacks rushed into Yechen's arms, and he couldn't even hug him, and a few bags of potato chips rolled to the ground.

Shao Fan picked it up, tore it open, and ate it. He said while eating, "These foods are all carefully selected by my brother, and all of them have withstood the test of my picky taste buds. If they don't taste good, you will hit me."

Ye Chen doesn't eat these things very much, and there are too many of them.

Before he could refuse to say thank you, Wen Zhihao shouted "Brother Xiaofan, your phone is ringing" and called him away. Before Shao Fan went to answer the phone, he still didn't forget to tell Ye Chen: "Not enough for my place, Don't be polite to you, Brother Xiaofan."

Yechen turned his head with a bunch of snacks in his arms, and met Wen Zhihao who turned back after handing the phone to Shao Fan.

The two people who were not good at communicating looked at each other, and there seemed to be a trace of embarrassment in the air.

Ye Chen was silent for a few seconds, and was about to hand out the snacks in his arms to ask him if he wanted to eat, but Wen Zhihao took a step ahead, he nodded to Ye Chen as a greeting, and then turned his gaze back to the phone.

Ye Chen's arm was raised in the air in embarrassment.

Xu Yuxing had just escaped from Shen Mu's clutches. He sat on the armrest of the single sofa, conveniently piled up the snacks that Yechen was carrying on the coffee table, bent down to pick up the ones that fell on the ground.

He pinched the corner of the packaging bag and tapped Yechen's head: "Why are you so dumb."

Shen Mu made a "tsk", snatched the snack from Xu Yuxing's hand, and raised her hand to hit him on the head.

Filled with righteous indignation, she spoke up for Yechen: "Who told you to knock our little brother on the head!"

Those who didn't know thought Yechen was her own younger brother.

As if against her, Xu Yuxing tapped Yechen again: "I'll do it."

Yechen: "???"

Xu Yuxing's knocking was actually useless, the snack bag was filled with puffed food and air, it sounded loud but it didn't feel anything at all.

He was not used to the familiarity and excitement among the band members, so he didn't realize it for a while and let Xu Yuxing succeed the second time.

Shen Mu backhanded again, she didn't take care of Xu Yuxing as carefully as Xu Yuxing did with Yechen, she struck mercilessly, with such force that one would doubt that a little more force could burst the snack bag open.

Then Xu Yuxing hit Ye Chen on the head again——

Didn't hit.

After reacting, Ye Chen quickly turned his head, and the snack bag was empty in front of his eyes.

Xu Yuxing laughed: "So you can move, kid."

"I'm not..." Dead.

Before Ye Chen finished speaking, two packs of snacks were stuffed into his hand, Shen Mu said: "Brother, shoot him to death. I'll count for you, this bastard hit you three times, we have to take revenge. "

So Ye Chen was dragged into the battlefield for no reason.

Ye Chen had never done such a naive thing before, grabbing two packs of puffed food and together with Shen Mu, they cornered Xu Yuxing in a corner and beat them up.

In terms of childishness, he is not at all comparable to the two men and women around him who are nearly 60 years old together.

Xu Yuxing died without begging for mercy.

He stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed Ye Chen's wrist in the air and pulled him into his arms, his arms pressed his arms to wrap him around his chest.

When Xu Yuxing breathed, his chest and abdomen rose and fell, and the chest vibration caused by his words was clearly transmitted to Yechen's back through the two layers of fabric.

He asked, "Why did you bully me with outsiders as soon as you came here?"

Ye Chen felt uncomfortable all over, he struggled twice: "Let me go."

Instead, the more he struggled, Xu Yuxing tightened his grip: "Let go of you and let you and Shen Mu hit me together?"

"Don't even think about it." Xu Yuxing chuckled and said to Shen Mu, "Senior sister, don't spoil my brother."

As if being stepped on by the tail, Yechen raised his leg and kicked his shoe: "Who is your brother!"

He stepped on him and let him step on him, as long as someone was in his arms, he couldn't escape.

Xu Yuxing didn't move at all.

Shen Mu brushed off the hair that flew to her face, she stood with her hips on her hips, and was about to speak with a sneer, when she saw Shao Fan rushing in from outside after answering the phone, grabbed the baotou on the sofa and ran out without looking back: " Brother Wan, my grandma is lost and I have to go back first!"

Fang Wan, who hadn't participated in the fight, stood up abruptly, and everyone in the warehouse rushed to the door: "What's going on, we'll help you find it together."

Shao Fan's grandmother suffered from Alzheimer's in the second year after his grandfather passed away. She had been lost twice before, and the members even helped her find it.

Shao Fan opened the door of the online car-hailing car and got in: "No, my dad has already called the police. There is still a performance tonight, so don't delay."

Fang Wan: "If we can't find anyone, we don't have the heart to perform."

"It's all right," Shao Fan reassured, "All the acquaintances in our community helped to find it. My grandma was only lost for a long time, and she probably hasn't gone far. I'll call you when I find it."

Yechen frowned and looked at the direction in which the online car-hailing car disappeared, and suddenly his head felt heavy.

Xu Yuxing snorted on his head, then smoothed the messy hair: "Don't worry."

Yechen slapped him away with a displeased face.

After that, everyone was thinking about it, and no one was in the mood to play around. They either adjusted their instruments to practice the piano, or sat on the sofa to play games, but they always looked at their phones from time to time.

It wasn't until Shao Fan called to say that he had found it that he was relieved. However, Shao Fan's grandma had serious dementia, and she couldn't do without people around her at the moment, so she couldn't participate in the evening performance.

Compared with my family, whether I can participate in the performance is a trivial matter.

Fang Wan asked him to take care of grandma with peace of mind, so he didn't have to worry about other things.

Although many bands are not equipped with keyboard players, in fact, the keyboard occupies a large proportion in a band.

No matter how much guitar and bass rely on effects to enrich the timbre levels, they can only produce one sound. As a synthesizer, the keyboard has a wide range and can achieve the effect of enriching songs by imitating the timbres of multiple instruments.

After removing the keyboard, Toxic's songs will be more or less affected.

To minimize this impact, it is necessary to take the time to make adjustments before the performance.

When Xu Yuxing said that he would give Yechen an exclusive performance, he was just talking casually, but he didn't expect it to become a prophecy.

When the band was rehearsing, Yechen saw the album they threw on the table. The cover was pitch black, with a crooked hand drawn on it.

It looks like it was drawn casually by someone with no background.

Yechen suddenly wanted to know who the Monster was.

He put down the album, and from the corner of his eye, he saw the words that had been magnified by N times, and the protagonist on the painting happened to be standing in front of the painting and playing the piano.

After the song was over, Xu Yuxing asked him suddenly: "Xiaochen, do you want to play?"

Ye Chen didn't understand, Xu Yuxing stood by the electronic piano and pressed a few keys casually: "Come and play the piano, will you come to the performance with us at night?"

Yechen: "???"
