Lu Yan wanted to continue.
Our band's history, dreams, which songs we have released, and what difficulties we have encountered.
But we do not abandon, do not give up.
Tang Jiandong was different from others, he calmed down quickly, and interrupted them with a sneer: "I'm here to recommend you?"
He even said arrogantly to Xu Ye: "You boy, help me get the glass of water next to me."
Xu Ye took it over.
Tang Jiandong took a few sips.
Then his voice rose, and he slapped the water glass on top of him with a 'snap': "Why should I sign you?"
Although Lu Yan didn't do this kind of blocking people, but the opposite was a respected senior after all, his momentum weakened a bit: "Because we... are excellent? Have a future?"
"..."
He glanced at several people: "There are too many outstanding people in this world."
"Why not someone else but you?"
"Is there anything in your band that other bands can't do?"
"Since other bands can do something, why should I ask you to do it."
Bitter but true.
The four were speechless.
Finally, Tang Jiandong pointed at the door with a pipe, and cursed angrily: "—Fuck, a bunch of bastards, get out of here!"
Lu Yan has been walking down the city for many years, and this is the first time he has met such an energetic senior.
Two hours later, the barbecue stand.
They had already drank a lot when Xiao Heng arrived.
During the day, he went to University C to find students to talk about new projects. Most of them were recruited by Xu Ye from the department. Although these students lack experience, the cost of employment is relatively low: "Let's talk about ideals and the future." Not about money .
After finalizing, the new project was officially launched.
It's just that the atmosphere at the barbecue stand is a bit wrong, it doesn't look like a celebration banquet.
Lu Yan stepped on the edge of the plastic chair with one foot, holding a can of wine in his hand, and did not speak.
He didn't take off the makeup on his face.
Xiao Heng went directly to get the can of wine in front of Lu Yan, but did not see any reaction from this person, so Xiao Heng turned to ask Li Zhen: "What's wrong, the performance went wrong?"
Li Zhen shook his head: "The performance was very successful, especially the one next to you—he even grabbed a lot of people from other people's stages, and the singer on the opposite stage turned green when he left."
Xiao Heng: "So what does it mean that he looks like he wants to find a hole in the ground?"
He was too familiar with Lu Yan's expression.
It's totally a sign of wanting to run.
It's better to give him another toilet, so that he can sprint in at a speed of 100 meters and lock himself up.
Xiao Heng pinched the back of his neck again.
Lu Yan buried his face in his knees, lowered his head and said sullenly, "I took them to block the manager of Yinlang Records today." He briefly explained the process of blocking people.
Xiao Heng wanted to get this picture: "...and then."
"And get out."
"..."
Lu Yan said again: "Shame."
Xiao Heng was thinking about how to comfort this kind of thing. His boyfriend blocked others first, so he couldn't praise him first.
Lu Yan's self-recovery ability is too strong, such things as face are only occasionally emotional, and the main point of entanglement is: "Why did I just get out like this? Fuck, I didn't realize it at the time, and forgot to leave him a business card."
Lu Yan raised his head as he spoke, wanting to drink, but the can was still in Xiao Heng's hand.
He stretched out his hand, wrapped around Xiao Heng's wrist, and pulled the can of wine towards him: "How did you find it?"
Xiao Heng said: "It's almost time to find them, they are all from Xu Ye's department."
Speaking of this, Xiao Heng said again: "By the way, I contacted a real estate agency near C University and used it as a base."
Lu Yan: "That's right, it's inconvenient for those students to travel too far back and forth."
While speaking, Lu Yan used Xiao Heng's hand to pour himself a sip of wine.
I didn't grasp the strength well, so I sprinkled a little from the side.
He was about to wipe it off with his fingertips, but Xiao Heng looked at him steadfastly, and while Li Zhen and the others were not paying attention, he suddenly came up and said while his Adam's apple was moving: "Don't move."
Lu Yan drank a little too much that night, and he sang too crazy on the stage of the music festival, and his mood didn't slow down for a while. When Xiao Heng approached, he couldn't help himself and stepped forward.
The two were very close.
It was only then that Xiao Heng noticed that he had also drawn eyeliner, which extended a little along the end of his eyes.
Li Zhen and the others are still trying to persuade them to drink.
"Da Pao, you can't do it, there are only a few bottles."
"Brother Zhen..."
"Drink! Shut up, Xu Ye will give me a drink too! Men don't know how to drink, you drink so much..."
Xiao Heng raised his hand to pinch Lu Yan's chin, and covered it without hesitation.
Li Zhen's words could not be heard clearly after the "drinking capacity".
Xiao Heng licked up the spilled wine for him, and then kissed him, his kiss smelled of alcohol. Lu Yan didn't think he was drunk at first, it seemed that the aftertaste of the few cans of wine he drank just now suddenly surged up.
it's getting dark.
During this period of time, the temperature difference is large. Unlike the daytime, the temperature drops sharply at night.
There were quite a few people at the barbecue stand, and the noisy voice lingered in my ears.
When Xiao Heng let go of him, Lu Yan blinked, feeling unfinished.
Li Zhen didn't notice what was happening on their side. After filling Xu Ye's drink, he opened another can for Lu Yan: "Old Lu, don't be cowardly, don't run away while drinking."
Lu Yan took it: "I'm afraid of you?"
While Li Zhen and Lu Yan were drinking together, Xiao Heng was thinking about the "Yinlang manager".
The Xiao family's previous industrial chain was not limited to medical equipment, other small industries were also developing, and entertainment companies were not new.
A certain guess inevitably appeared in his mind.
The matter of the music festival is indeed too coincidental. This music festival sponsored by Yinlang Records invited not the champion Storm Band, not the second place in the band competition, but the V group that retired early.
The V group did set off a wave of enthusiasm during the competition, but the popularity declined significantly after retiring from the competition.
Xiao Heng thought of this, and asked him: "Do you think the ending song of the web drama, and this music festival, were really found by the band's program?"
Lu Yan didn't hear clearly: "Huh?"
Xiao Heng said in his heart that he probably thought too much: "It's nothing." He passed the wine in Lu Yan's hand, "Tsk, drink less."
Lu Yan was really drunk.
After Li Zhen and the others left, Xiao Heng paid the bill.
Lu Yan pointed across the street, narrowed his eyes and said, "Look, the stars."
"..." Xiao Heng said, "That's a street lamp, silly son."
"Star."
Lu Yan insisted unexpectedly.
"Street lights."
"Fuck me, if I say no, then it's not."
"Okay," Xiao Heng said along with him, "Xing Xing."
Lu Yan just nodded and continued to follow him towards the Seventh District.
He was a little floating when he walked, and he liked to stand on high places, Xiao Heng stretched out his hand to pull him.
After walking for a while, Lu Yan was actually woken up by the wind.
He looked up at the night sky in the downtown area, saw the stars everywhere, recalled that he had chosen a tattoo shop by mistake, and found out that the meaning of this pattern had collided with what happened to him at that time. .
It is regarded as an unsolvable star by occultism.
Except for the mysterious words such as "powerful" and "strength".
It is also said that the seven-pointed star cannot achieve any purpose, because the seven-pointed star is a protective circle, which is powerful enough to resist the threat of all demons.
As Lu Yan thought about it, his eyes moved away from the starlight and fell on Xiao Heng.
From the disbandment of the band, to facing the identity of the "old seven", and even retreating from the band's show.
Everything that he thought he couldn't go through, he went through.
Including being rejected by Tang Jiandong today, when the manager who once led the legendary band pointed at them and asked sharply, "Why do you think I will sign you", he didn't think it was a hurdle.
If not, just keep doing it.
But he found that it was not the star on his wrist that could resist all threats.
Before reaching the station, Lu Yan suddenly said: "You too."
Xiao Heng didn't understand: "What?"
"Stars." Lu Yan said.
Lu Yan stood on the flower bed, facing the wind, and was still wearing his clothes. He hadn't buttoned up his clothes honestly, and the wind got in through his collarbone.
He raised his wrist and spread the black star pierced on his wrist in front of Xiao Heng.
He said: "The powerful force that can withstand all threats is you."
Tomorrow is a working day, and the residents of District 7 go to bed early.
There was almost no sound in the corridor when the two went upstairs.
The sensor light was broken long ago, and Lu Yan was about to take out the keys, but Xiao Heng was one step ahead of him and reached out from behind him to feel in the pocket of his trousers.
Fingertips touched a key ring.
"Did you lose weight?"
Xiao Heng thought about it, squeezed it again and said, "The legs are a little thinner."
The spot he touched was too sensitive.
"Brother Heng," Lu Yan said through the remaining alcohol, "Do you want to do it?"
As a result of asking this sentence, Lu Yan turned off three alarms the next day.
Almost didn't get out of bed.
Not to mention the extra marks on his body.
After the festival, back to normal life.
At dawn, the Seventh District became lively.
Viagra found that there was no shampoo in the shower, so he shouted "Help" out the window at the top of his voice.
Zhang Xiaohui tied the rope to the basket, and there was a bottle of Head & Shoulders in the basket, trying to send it to him.
"Come down, Xiaohui, go down a little more."
"Oh, it's over."
When Lu Yan was brushing his teeth, he almost sprayed toothpaste foam out of his mouth without laughing: "What are you two doing—"
After Viagra successfully got the shampoo, he wiped it and shouted: "What are your plans for today?"
Lu Yan thought for a while and replied, "I have an interview today."
Viagra: "Looking for a new job again? You have three hundred and sixty lines, what else have you not done, Yandi?"
Lu Yan sighed: "Life is not easy, but you are versatile."
Their band’s activities are actually not many in a week, and it’s still difficult to rely on the band to make ends meet, not to mention that the new single "Silver Bullet" has only appeared on the stage so far, and the release of the single has to be put on the agenda this month. However, they haven't scraped together enough money to rent a recording studio.
Xiao Heng was woken up by Viagra's help in the morning, got up and walked behind Lu Yan, put his chin on his shoulder and asked, "Interview?"
Lu Yan washed his face and said: "I just looked for it two days ago. The milk tea shop is recruiting. It's in a nearby community. The salary is still good, and it's half a day."
"..." Xiao Heng was surprised by the words milk tea shop, "Can you do it?"
Lu Yan still said the same thing: "I can do it."
The storefront of the milk tea shop is not big, it is a small window separated from the nearby grocery store, Lu Yan is tall, and almost reaches the ceiling when he stands inside.
The proprietress is a middle-aged woman. She looked Lu Yan up and down: "Do you have any experience?"
Lu Yan: "I sold cut cakes and made desserts."
The proprietress: "Why did you apply for our shop?"
Lu Yan opened his mouth and came: "In order to improve the happiness of the broad masses of the people."
It is probably the first time the proprietress has heard someone summarize this job so sacredly.
She nodded: "You go back and memorize the list of ingredients, and come to work tomorrow."
Lu Yan is a quick learner and can do everything decently. He has only been on the job for a few days, and when he stops in the shop, he has the attitude of "having been in the milk tea shop for many years": "Bantang, less ice, pack it."
Outside the window stood a few nearby female students, who deliberately made a detour after school.
"Well," said the female student, "can you put more pearls?"
Lu Yan is also very good at attracting customers. He knows that his face is quite attractive sometimes, but he has always handled this aspect neatly, neither alienated nor warm, with a moderate distance. He turned around and entered the operation room and said: "OK."
Waiting to see off the guests.
He just had nothing to do and leaned against the cash register to send a message to Xiao Heng: This handsome guy.
- Do you miss your boyfriend
Xiao Heng held a meeting at the base, and the news was slow to reply.
These students have never been out of the society, let alone witnessed the beatings of the society, and they are doubted by Xiao Heng every day.
A day's work at the base is worth a school exam.
However, the work efficiency of these students is indeed getting higher and higher.
After teasing Lu Yan, he didn't point to Xiao Heng to return. He backed out again, clicked on the working group classification, and planned to make an appointment with the recording studio.
Lu Yan: Hi, Parker.
Parker typed over there for a long time, obviously a little frightened: HI.
Lu Yan smartly switched between Chinese and English input methods, and sent out a sentence: I want to make an appointment.
Parker: ...
The author has something to say: Note: The meaning of the seven-pointed star comes from Baidu Science Popularization.
Original sentence: [Some people in the West believe that the reason why the seven-pointed star cannot achieve any purpose is because the seven-pointed star is a protective magic circle, which is powerful enough to resist the threat of all demons. ]
