back edge

After Yu Ning and Yuan Fangheng left, Zhou Yantong became an idler.

He nestled back to his pottery studio, carved flowers with mud every day, cultivated his sentiments in leisure, and could sit and count money.

"Isn't this fucking much more profitable than our performance?" Zhou Yantong leaned on the wooden chair, holding a bank card in his hand, his tone pretended to be light, but his expression was very lonely, "Let's just sit here, the clerk is busy. Theirs, the money comes in by itself..."

Sitting opposite him, Chen Kui picked up the teacup for the third time and put it down again.

Zhou Yantong really doesn't have much artistic talent, except for playing the piano, he doesn't seem to have any artistic atmosphere on him.

But he's always felt like an artist since high school.She grew her hair long, learned to draw, changed her outfits, and even started drinking tea like a show off.

The delicate wall of the cup gradually cools in the hand, and it must be very bitter to drink.Chen Kui picked up the teacup again and drank it down in one gulp.

People who don't drink tea often feel that any kind of tea is bitter, and they can't taste its taste, such as stale.

The lingering taste in his mouth made him frown.He hadn't cried yet that the broken tea was bad to drink, but the eyes of the person across from him were red.

"This tea is too damn bad to drink." Zhou Yantong grinned with an expression of wanting to cry, even the corners of his mouth were trembling slightly.

"It's really bad, throw it away." Chen Kui touched the wall of the cup with his fingertips, and with a slight movement, the teacup was flipped over by him and knocked upside down on the table.

Hearing this, Zhou Yantong showed an expression uglier than crying: "You can't throw it away, it's worth thousands of dollars."

Chen Kui paused, turned the teacup back, and put it on the tea tray next to the teapot.

The two were silent for a while, and suddenly they laughed out loud at the same time.

Zhou Yantong slapped his bank card on the table arrogantly: "Do we seem to be short of that money?"

Chen Kui stared at him for a while, then nodded, "Yes."

Zhou Yantong laughed and said, "Fart!"

The noise of the humming operation of the air conditioner in the room filled the ears, together with it was Zhou Yantong's words without confidence, which was so light that Chen Xi almost didn't hear it.

He asked, can Backblade still be reorganized?

In fact, Chen Xi was not sure either.

Where to find someone?We need to find people who have passed the technical level, have plenty of time, and have a personality that is compatible with them.

After finding someone?Constantly running in, paying the rent for the rehearsal room, and accepting some livehouse performances that are too small.The money for a performance is not even enough to make up for the rent for rehearsals in advance, and the share is still a large part of the loss.

Anti-Blade is not as popular in the industry as the peachy CD, which is called a minority if you put it nicely, but it is not famous if you put it bluntly.

Who will form a band with you if you are not famous?Go play with your own eggs.

Everyone understands the truth.Chen Xi understood, and Zhou Yantong also understood.

But Chen Xi still said: "Yes."

Zhou Yantong raised his head abruptly.Like Chen Xi, he was unwilling to give up his so-called dream.After wasting a few years on the road of rock and roll, he thought that if he had played enough, there would be a day when he would give up.But how can rock and roll be played whenever you want.

He suddenly understood why Chen Yu had been protecting Xie Jingnian, preventing him from entering the rock and roll circle, and even keeping him away from Anti-Fen.

Xie Jingnian is good at studies, good-looking, and good-looking. He is top-notch everywhere.He is probably the genius student he played on TV in the past, and he is going to do scientific research in the future—no, he almost forgot that his younger brother is studying medicine, and he is going to be on the operating table in the future.

"Hey." Zhou Yantong stretched his legs under the table and touched Chen Xi's toes, "Do you regret it?"

Do you regret bringing Xie Jingnian into Anti-Blade?

Do you regret it? Chen Kui squinted his eyes and raised his head to be dazzled by the light of the incandescent lamp.

Probably there are some.

Peachy CD had a performance in the capital, and Yao Xi gave Xie Jingnian a lot of tickets, asking him to bring friends to the live show.

Xie Jingnian summed up and distributed the tickets among his roommates, Liang Yuan and Han Ce.

These few people were very happy to go, especially Liang Yuan, a frequent visitor to the livehouse, who liked to watch band performances whenever he had something to do.

It was Han Ce's first time watching a live show, and he had no experience. He wore a sleeveless T-shirt, a peaked cap, and newly bought AJs.

So much so that after entering the arena and occupying a position, the peaked cap was tilted to cover half of the eyes, and the lipstick marks on his arms like a bunch of flowers could be seen under the dim light. It was stepped on by many people.

Liang Yuan leaned on Han Ce's shoulder and couldn't straighten up laughing. He stuck to Han Ce's ear and scolded a few fools.

It was also the first time for Ji Guanfeng to come here, so he hugged his senior's slender waist carefully to protect her from being touched by others, so he didn't listen to half of the song.

When the peachy CD performance is over, Ji Guanfeng remembers that their lead singer is in good shape, and all the others are blind.

Everyone dispersed and went back separately. Before Xie Jingnian left, Yao Xi stayed behind.

On the table was the Mala Tang that the clerk had just brought up. It seemed that the soup was still steaming with little water.He is used to Chen Jiu's taste, and he hasn't eaten spicy food for a long time.

Yao Xi got up and went to the front desk to ask for three pairs of chopsticks, and then asked Xie Jingnian if he wanted bowls and spoons.

"I don't want it, thank you." Xie Jingnian said.

Yao Xi took the bowl and put it in front of Qian Ke, then took the vinegar next to her and handed it to her.

Xie Jingnian guessed that Yao Xi must have something to tell him when he called him.Sure enough, after eating Malatang, Yao Xi ordered another handful of skewers.

Yao Xi is not the type of person who talks about it, and always speaks straight to the point.

"I've heard about the anti-blade thing." Yao Xi said, "Chen Kui is just a dull person, he never vomits anything out. Over the years, even if we have difficulties, he never speaks to us."

Qian Ke grabbed a few meat skewers and handed them to Xie Jingnian, who waved his hand but did not accept them.

"If you need any help, just give us a call." Yao Xi said, "Don't be shy, you know?"

Xie Jingnian's heart warmed up, and he nodded: "Understood, Sister Xi."

Yao Xi took a thin cigarette, the first time he heard Xie Jingnian call her that, he was so shocked that the ash fell off his body, and said with a smile: "You don't have Qian Ke's WeChat, add it."

While handing her mobile phone to Yao Xi, Qian Ke took a napkin to wipe off the cigarette ash that someone just dropped on her body: "You always do this, what should you do if you get burned?"

"Understood, long-winded."

Yao Xi handed the mobile phone with the QR code interface turned on to Xie Jingnian, looked at Qian Ke who had carefully checked that there was no soot left on her body, and suddenly called her.

Hearing the sound, Qian Ke raised her head and cast a puzzled look.

Yao Xi smiled and said that he just wanted to call her.Then he leaned over and left a fiery red lip mark on the man's neck.

Zhou Yantong's post on the forum to recruit musicians has been ignored, and the departure of Yu Ning and Yuan Fangheng has not been announced on Weibo.

"Brother Xiu, where can we find someone?" Zhou Yantong asked.

Chen Xi was tattooing a guest, he didn't seem to hear his question, until he wiped off the excess black ink, he raised his head and gave him a little look: "Touch slowly."

try your luck.This is what Chen Xi has said the most in the past month, and Zhou Yantong's ears are almost callused.

"If it doesn't work, let's just play together." Zhou Yan said, "As long as you sing, everything else can be covered..."

After talking about it, Zhou Yantong cut off his voice under Chen Xi's gaze.

Chen Xi has always disliked being on a program, he wanted the most original sense of a band, otherwise they wouldn't have had to find five people to play in a band - and they wouldn't have encountered Liu Yuheng, such a nasty bastard.

"I saw that Liu Yuheng and his band were on some music variety show two days ago." Zhou Yantong also deliberately found out the video of that episode to show Chen Xi, "I was eliminated in the first round. Don't you think it's funny."

Chen Xi took the time to take a glance, expressionless: "He is qualified for Beth, and everyone else is trash."

Although Liu Yuheng is a scumbag, his bass is really strong, otherwise Chen Xi and Zhou Yantong would not have asked him to be their bass player in the beginning.

"Last time, I didn't stop being kicked, and I dared to come out and jump." Zhou Yantong clicked his tongue twice, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to see Liu Yuheng's name when he was flipping through Weibo private messages a while ago.

The author has something to say:

It's really hard to be in a band, you must cherish the band you like :)
