Although Lu Yan's words sounded like a pyramid scheme, Da Pao's eyes still shined.
"When can we start rehearsing? Tomorrow? Why don't we start tonight, brother, how many members are there in our band? Is there a keyboard player? Where are the others?"
Cannon's joy was beyond words. After he finished reading, he looked at Li Zhen again: "Brother Zhen, where are you, Bess?"
Faced with the expectant eyes of the new members, Li Zhen said very embarrassedly: "I am the drummer."
Lu Yan said: "Let me introduce to you, the drummer of our band, first-class technique, the champion of the 4th Lower Town Drummer League, his double stepping, no one can compare to—"
Downtown is home to many underground bands.
There are also many various competitions in normal times, and the Drummer League is one of them. Li Zhen beat other contestants by drumming at high speed continuously for two hours, fifteen minutes and sixteen seconds, and finally won the victory.
Of course, after the game, Li Zhen lay in bed for two days.
Cannon: "Amazing."
Li Zhen pretended to be modest: "It's okay, it's okay, that's all."
Cannon's eyes were shining, and he was waiting for Lu Yan to introduce other powerful members of their band.
However, Lu Yan's tone paused for a while, and he said, "Okay, the introduction is over."
Lu Yan: "The ones standing in front of you now are the only two members of our band."
Cannon: "..."
Lu Yan: "Congratulations, you are the third."
Since Huang Xu and Jiang Yaoming left the band, all activities of the band have been suspended indefinitely. However, on this day, their band finally welcomed a new member: guitarist Da Pao.
Li Zhen and Da Pao still had to catch the last bus, so they got up to leave after chatting for a while: "Let's go first."
"Okay," Lu Yan waved his hand, "Dai Peng is not very familiar with this, you can see him off."
Li Zhen: "Understood."
After the two of them left, only Lu Yan and Xiao Heng were left at their table, and there were still a lot of skewers left on the table.
"You don't want to eat?" Lu Yan picked up a bunch and handed it over.
Xiao Heng really doesn't eat much from the barbecue stall: "I've eaten it."
Lu Yan took a bite, thinking that such things as masturbation really didn't fit the temperament of a rich man.
"By the way, what did you just say?" Lu Yan remembered something, "You said that my apprentice's playing is okay?"
When Da Pao was showing off his piano skills, Xiao Heng really said that.
…
Okay.
Okay
Lu Yan's mentality of protecting his shortcomings is extremely serious in this regard: Is the person brought up by me single-handedly okay? That level, can it be summed up in two words
He was about to spray Xiao Heng bloody, when he heard Xiao Heng say: "See who you compare with."
Xiao Heng laughed again and said, "The most awesome one is sitting next to me."
This sentence is exactly the same as the previous sentence "Yanyan is awesome".
Lu Yan's words reached the tip of his mouth, but he couldn't utter a single sound.
In fact, he hesitated for a long time before "competing" with Cannon. He sat there watching Cannon play the piano, and several thoughts turned in his mind.
Compare it.
——As long as he is like this now, what's more.
The more Lu Yan thought about it, the more he withdrew his courage in his heart.
But when he put his hand into Xiao Heng's pocket to touch the cigarette, when he lit the cigarette, for some reason, all the panic and timidity were repelled in an instant.
Xiao Heng put down the beer can, turned his head and called him again: "Give me your hand."
Lu Yan: "Huh?"
Lu Yan didn't respond for a long time, Xiao Heng put his hand on Lu Yan's hand impatiently, grabbed his hand, raised it up to the sky, and said with a long voice: "... Lu Yan, win."
Lu Yan was taken aback.
"Fuck, what are you doing?"
"Awards."
"What kind of award is this?"
"Father says it's fine."
"… roll."
The two exchanged a few words.
After the "award presentation" was over, Xiao Heng let go of his hand.
Finally, Lu Yan raised his head and saw that his hand was pulled high in the air, and he seemed to be able to catch the wind passing through his fingers by moving his fingers.
This scene is very similar to the day when we sent Huang Xu and Jiang Yaoming off. They are all barbecue stalls, and even the weather is very similar.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan thought it was very interesting, and complained to Xiao Heng: "What is the fate between our band and the barbecue stall? We also have barbecue stalls when we gather, and barbecue stalls when we disperse."
It may be alcohol, or it may be that Da Pao just joined the team tonight, so it is inevitable that he was a little emotional. He continued to talk about the band intermittently: "Xu Zi was still writing a new song before, and said that he would sing it at the 4th anniversary concert..."
Talking about the "fourth anniversary" we talked about before.
When Lu Yan said this, he took another sip of wine.
Xiao Heng clinked glasses with him: "Do you remember what you said on the rooftop before?"
When it comes to the rooftop, Lu Yan can only think of two words: "The sun?"
Xiao Heng: "...it's not the day."
What else but the sun
Lu Yan thought about it for a long time, and remembered that he did say something at that time. He said "see you again on the fourth anniversary". There is no reason to come out.
However, Xiao Heng repeated his original words: "See you again."
Xiao Heng said again: "Because you are Lu Yan."
-Because is you.
So you can do it.
Lu Yan came back to his senses, and found that the drunkenness seemed to be unstoppable, and his whole body was about to float.
It was late at night, and the number of customers at the barbecue stand increased instead of falling, and it became more and more lively. Lu Yan got up amidst the hustle and bustle and said, "I... I'll go to pay the bill."
As soon as Lu Yan went to check out, Zhai Zhuangzhi's phone call came back.
After having dinner together that time, they seldom contacted each other. The main reason was that Xiao Heng was too busy, and he didn't have the energy to deal with the messy nonsense that Zhai Zhuangzhi sent.
Xiao Heng picked it up, and the first sentence on the opposite side: "Boss!"
The second sentence: "Help me!"
Zhai Zhuangzhi was too noisy, he heard that he was in a bar, Xiao Heng said: "No appointment, no time."
"..."
Zhai Zhuangzhi: "No, something really happened. Lao Hu called me all day during this time, and he said he couldn't get through to you—"
Xiao Heng has been away from school for too long.
It took him two seconds to realize that the "Old Hu" that Zhai Zhuangzhi was talking about was the professor Hu of the finance class. Although he didn't listen to the lectures very much during the class, this professor Hu would come to him occasionally, nine out of ten It was because of Xiao Qishan's relationship.
"Of course he can't get through," Xiao Heng said, "I blocked it."
Zhai Zhuangzhi pushed open the door of the private room of the bar and went out. After getting away from the messy voices, he smoked at the door of the private room and asked, "Why don't you call Lao Hu? He said that if you don't go, you won't be able to get your diploma."
Xiao Heng didn't want to call: "Why should I call him?"
Zhai Zhuangzhi: "Just save my life."
Zhai Zhuangzhi added: "I don't dare to blackmail, I'm cowardly, this old man is still looking for me all day, now when I hear the phone ringing, I'm fucking freaked out."
"By the way," Zhai Zhuangzhi finally said, "Boss, how are you doing recently? You are really strong. If it's me, I can't stay here for a second. Can you get used to that place?"
Habit.
Xiao Heng said the word twice in his mouth.
When he first lived in the Seventh District, he was not used to anything.
When he first came out, he thought he could do it, and the Xiao family was nothing, but the superior life in the Xiao family was like air, and it had settled in his internal organs before he even realized it—
The bed was too hard, and I couldn't sleep at all in the first few nights. I stared at the ceiling with my eyes open, and I could barely sleep for two hours until dawn. His disdain and disgust for Xiao Qishan seemed to slap him hard in the face of the gap in life.
That sense of adaptation seemed to subtly confirm what Xiao Qishan said: "You go if you have the ability, and see what you are after you go out!"
…
I can only suck out that kind of air little by little by myself.
"Then are you still going to school?" Zhai Zhuangzhi asked again.
Hearing these words, Xiao Heng took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, bowed his head and lit it.
Then, amidst the lingering smoke, he moved his fingers, thinking of the remittance message he received during the day.
[Your account received funds today... ]
Not much money.
Fifteen thousand.
During this time, he stayed up all night and sold the half-finished template website to a small company. This is the final payment, and the total price is 20,000.
It is completely enough for him to support the computer.
Thinking about it, Xiao Heng exhaled a puff of smoke.
Xiao Heng said, "I won't go."
Zhai Zhuangzhi never thought of this answer. Dropping out of school in his senior year was beyond his imagination: "Fuck me? Are you serious? You should think about it, you've come to this point, and this certificate is at your hand—"
Xiao Heng didn't care about the proof or not.
He hasn't attended a class since he went to college, and he usually sleeps on his stomach or plays with his mobile phone. He doesn't know how he got here in the past few years.
Zhai Zhuangzhi was squatting at the door of the private room of the bar. His right ear was filled with the chaotic and noisy sound of the bar, and his left ear was stuck to the receiver of his mobile phone. The sounds on both sides seemed to come from two different worlds.
Then he clearly heard Xiao Heng say: "I really don't want to go, you tell the old nonsense, I will go to go through the withdrawal procedures tomorrow."
Zhai Zhuangzhi almost fell to the ground in smoke: "Are you serious?"
"No," Zhai Zhuangzhi really didn't understand, "Why?"
Listening to the phrase "why", Xiao Heng raised his eyes to look at the chattering person standing opposite the owner of the barbecue stall.
Lu Yan's two legs were much longer than the barbecue grill, so he stood there angrily, and asked the boss if he would give him a discount by borrowing the piano skills that Da Pao just showed.
The boss couldn't help it: "Yes, please! 50% off, no less!"
Lu Yan was obviously not satisfied with the 50% off. He leaned over and said, "Brother, let me call you brother. We are brothers. Between brothers, 15% off is justified."
Boss: "That makes sense!"
"..."
Xiao Heng's gaze finally landed on the black tattoo and the man's thin wrist.
Why
It may be because before Lu Yan, no one has ever told him with such a passionate and tenacious attitude towards life that you can do what you like.
You can do what you want.
You were born into this world not for anyone.
You do what you love.
Only five meters away from him, Lu Yan chatted with the owner of the barbecue stall for a long time and finally managed to get a 20% discount. After paying the money, he turned and walked towards Xiao Heng's table: "Let's go?"
Xiao Heng put out the cigarette and said, "Let's go."
The author has something to say:
Another: You need to be cautious when dropping out of school.
