The Jiang family was not peaceful for several days because of Jiang Dezhi's drunkenness. On the weekend, Jiang Yu hid in Ziluo's room and finished his homework. The two of them played games for a while, and then they both went out to find Hou Yi.

The alleys are full of flowers, the small branches are lush, and the persimmons growing on them have been picked, and the highest point cannot be reached. Look up and see how many of them have been eaten by birds.

Jiang Yu's family also had a persimmon tree. Whenever it was ripe, he stepped on the ladder to pick it. After picking a big pot, he gave half of it to Zi's family.A cherry tree was planted in the yard of Zi’s house, so the two families often sent each other back and forth. Jiang Yu and Zi Luo picked it together, and were stung several times by caterpillars on the cherry tree.

The two of them didn't ride bicycles, and waited for the bus from the station at the intersection, and they could go directly to Yongyue Mall.

The two chatted all the way, half an hour after arriving at the place, Hou Yi was already waiting for them in the basement, Jiang Yu and Zi Luo had been there many times, so they were no strangers, after getting off the car, they went straight into the elevator and pressed the lower floor .

Although it is the first floor of the shopping mall, which belongs to the management of the shopping mall, there is a big door at the west gate, which is very convenient to enter and exit, even if the shopping mall is not open, they can come in and out at will.

Entering the door is a lot of sundries, and walking in, the sound of drums can be vaguely heard.Zi Luo walked over first, and saw several figures with their backs turned to him.

Hou Yi formed an orchestra with several others, but it was not very standardized.There is no backing vocalist or keyboard player, only a lead vocalist, a guitarist and a bass player, and the remaining one is Hou Yi, who is in charge of the drummer.

These few people get together purely because they like music, and they will come here to practice if they have nothing to do, and go to the square to sing at night.I recently signed a contract with a music bar, and I will go there to perform in the evening, so I am free today.

After hearing the voice, several people looked at the two of them. The boy who greeted him first had a small braid on the back of his head, a flat cut, round earrings on his ears, and an inconspicuous scar on his right head.

Shen Zilu is a bass player, several years older than them, and is already in college.He looks ruffian, but he only has a straight face, and when he smiles, he always has an immature childish look: "It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Dalu." Jiang Yu called out his nickname and laughed, "We're not late, didn't we say it was past two o'clock?"

Shen Zilu looked at the time: "It's 58:[-], it's really more than two o'clock."

The table next to him was full of opened cocktails. A taller boy reached out for two bottles, handed them to Jiang Yu, and then his eyes fell on Zi Luo, with a smile on his lips: "Long time no see."

Zi Luo took the bottle of wine, called "Brother Qiu", and smiled: "It hasn't been long, I just met during the summer vacation."

Qiu Ning belongs to the good-looking type, which is different from Zi Luo's crazy, and Jiang Yu's ruffian, and Shen Zilu is not the same type of handsome.He is completely beautiful, with regular and soft features, the tails of his eyes are slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth form two small brackets when he smiles, making him look very attractive.

The other sitting person was Wang Xia, who was overweight and was in charge of the guitar. He raised the wine bottle in his hand and said hello briefly.

Qiu Ning is the lead singer, these people have outstanding looks, and Qiu Ning's singing skills are quite good, this face has attracted a lot of attention and has won many fans.

Zi Luo asked, "Today is off?"

"Where is it?" Hou Yi sat on the stool, "There was originally a performance today, but it was postponed for a day, and another team took over first."

"It's been a day?" Zi Luo looked at Qiu Ning.

Qiu Ning is the soul of the whole band. At the beginning, he put in the most effort to get the band together, and most of the other people listened to his opinions on everything.

Qiu Ning smiled gently, and Shen Zilu continued, "I heard that you guys are going to rehearse, we want to see it together."

Jiang Yu poured half a bottle of wine into his stomach, and said, "We can just come by ourselves, why put it off for a day, how embarrassing."

"Are you still embarrassed?" Shen Zilu laughed at him, "Anyway, I've been acting for many days, so I'm tired, so let's push it every day."

Wang Xia put down the bottle and walked off the stage: "There is no piano here, go to that room."

This basement is very large, it has the space of a warehouse, and it was transformed by several people into a place for playing music at a glance.The lights hung down, glowing with warm light, warm and quiet.

Jiang Yu can only sing, but doesn't know anything about musical instruments, unlike Zi Luo who can play the piano and the guitar. He taught him by hand once before, but he didn't learn it at all.

Wang Xia sat on the side: "Your school is good. There is an event almost every year, and there is also a National Day party. Why was no one welcoming me when I was in my first year of high school?"

"I'm better than you." Shen Zilu said, "When I entered the corridor of the school gate in the first year of high school, many girls called me how handsome my little brother is!"

Wang Xia exposed him: "Come on, who doesn't know that it's all for Brother Qiu."

Qiu Ning listened to their conversation, leaning her back against the wall, her gaze fell on the figure standing in front of the piano.

"Let's start?" Zi Luo sat down and pointed Jiang Yu in a direction, "You stand in the middle."

Jiang Yu was probably thirsty. A bottle of cocktail was almost finished, and Hou Yi also sat down and got ready. The three people in the audience were standing and sitting, all looking this way.

Unlike Zi Luo who has stage experience, nor Hou Yi who has performance experience, Jiang Yu was a little scared when he was stared at by three people: "... Brother Qiu, can you stop looking at me, it's weird."

Qiu Ning tilted her head, with a look of innocence: "I didn't look at you."

"Why are you nervous?" Wang Xia said, "There are no outsiders, and you will be performing for the students in the next dozen or so classes."

Zi Luo's voice sounded softly from behind: "It's okay, close your eyes and take your time."

The previous practice was paired with the piano, and the rhythm was slow, but now the drum set becomes a lot heavier when the rhythm is added.Jiang Yu's hands holding the microphone also followed suit, and entered the two-person chorus section. Zi Luo's voice followed his. Jiang Yu's brain froze, and he couldn't keep up again.

Shen Zilu asked: "What's the matter? It sounds very nice."

Jiang Yu frowned angrily, scolding himself for being useless.The sound of the piano stopped, and he didn't dare to look back at Zi Luo.

Zi Luo didn't get up, didn't say anything else, and said in a very weak voice, "One more time."

The second time, Jiang Yu felt a little dizzy and got stuck again after holding on for a while.

Hou Yi didn't know that Jiang Yu had stopped countless times before singing this passage, thinking that he was not familiar with the lyrics, and said, "Do you want to stop following the lyrics?"

The lyrics were already memorized, and Jiang Yu knew that when he heard Zi Luo's singing and his heartbeat, he would always miss half a beat. This feeling was too strong and he couldn't control it at all.

"Jiang Yu."

Zi Luo called him.

"what?"

"come over."

Jiang Yu held the piece of paper and walked to Zi Luo and sat down. Qiu Ning's eyes stopped on the silhouettes of the two of them.

Zi Luo lowered his voice a lot, pressed the keys with his fingertips, and tuned not any tune: "What's the matter with you? You won't follow me when I sing?"

It was as if a cat was grabbed by the back of the neck, and a bottle of wine was put on his head. Jiang Yu's ears were a little red, and he didn't know how to answer for a long time.

Zi Luo glanced at him: "Why don't I stop singing this part?"

"No, no, no." Jiang Yu shook his head, "It's not your problem."

Zi Luo's voice was very soft: "Huh?"

Jiang Yu said: "It's okay, I'll pay more attention, let's do it again."

The third time Jiang Yu didn't get stuck, his voice didn't let go completely, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm several times.It was the first time for him to perform songs on stage, and these problems were normal. He learned a lot of skills under Qiu Ning's guidance, and the effect was obvious after several rehearsals.

It was already getting dark outside, and my throat felt uncomfortable after singing too much. The three of them made an appointment to come back in a few days.Qiu Ning has booked a restaurant and wants to invite a few people to dinner.

The restaurant owner and Qiu Ning are acquaintances, reserved a good private room, and sent a plate of fruit and other snacks.Jiang Yu sat down, beside Zi Luo, and beside Zi Luo was Qiu Ning.

Shen Zilu was looking at the menu. After asking around, the dishes were almost ready. He raised his head and asked a few other people: "What kind of wine do you want? Is the beer white?"

Wang Xia said: "One bottle of white beer and two cases of beer, drink less."

This is called drinking less? !

Jiang Yu just recovered from a bottle of cocktail, waved his hand and said, "I won't drink it, just order me a bottle of coconut milk."

"You drink coconut milk." Shen Zilu said, "Isn't it okay to drink three bottles of beer before? Yes, I'll bring you three bottles of beer."

The three bottles of beer were last year. He was in a bad mood because of family affairs, so he drank three bottles in a muffled voice. It seemed that nothing happened, but he had already vomited in the toilet once.Jiang Yu had a bitter face: "Let me go, I just want to drink milk."

Just as Zi Luo was about to say something, Qiu Ning moved a little closer to him, and asked him softly, "Drink some wine? Don't drink too much."

There were already three bottles of beer in front of Jiang Yu, Zi Luo looked away and nodded, "Okay."

A few cold dishes were served, two boxes of beer were brought over by the waiter, a bottle of liquor was placed on the table, Shen Zilu turned around and held it in his hand, opened it and brought it to the tip of Jiang Yu's nose: "Smell, it smells so good. "

Jiang Yu heard it and turned away: "Take it away!"

"I used to be the same as you. I didn't hold a lot of alcohol, and I didn't like to drink white wine." Shen Zilu poured Qiu Ning a glass first, "But I learned it later."

Jiang Yu has never liked the smell of wine very much, because he has smelled it too many times at Jiang Dezhi's place.He felt that alcohol was a harmful thing, and every time Jiang Dezhi drank, he would not be able to sleep well at night.

A glass of beer in front of me, full.Wang Xia picked up the wine glass: "Come and drink one, the first glass, after drinking, there is no leftover."

Jiang Yu resisted a little, but Wang Xia and Hou Yi had already drank less than half a glass of baijiu.He had to forcefully down a glass of beer, which made him frown.

"It's hard to drink."

Zi Luo finished his glass of beer, expressionless, and brought him some cold dishes: "Eat some pressure."

He watched Jiang Yu put the food into his mouth, and Qiu Ning's voice sounded in his ears: "I just started school, isn't the course heavy?"

Zi Luo said: "It's okay."

The door was pushed open, and finally two hot dishes were served, Qiu Ning put a piece of meat in his bowl: "That's good, don't stay up late now, there will be a lot of tutoring and homework in the future, so much that I can't breathe."

"Yeah." Zi Luo replied, "The school has competitions every year, and I'm watching physics recently."

Wang Xia listened for a while, and asked him as if thinking of something: "You have such good grades, have you decided which university to take now?"

Zi Luo thought for a moment: "Not yet."

"Jiang Yu's grades are not bad." Hou Yi said, "I'm not very stable alone, and I almost left Class A several times."

There was Zi Luo in the middle, Qiu Ning glanced at Jiang Yu, and asked with a smile, "Where's Jiang Yu?"

Jiang Yu spat out his bones: "Huh? University? I haven't thought about it yet."

Hou Yi said: "Both of them are good at science, and our old class has already reserved places for them in the physics competition."

During the meal, I didn’t really want to mention the matter of studying. A few people chatted a few words and then talked about the band. The name of their band is "Yiqiu", which is very simple. At that time, Shen Zilu and Hou Yi decided on it Yes, they are relatively well-known, and now you can see videos of their performances on the Internet.

Shen Zilu asked: "Will you allow students from other schools to enter on the day of your National Day party?"

"It's ok, I guess it won't be so strict that day." Hou Yi looked at him, "What are you doing?"

Shen Zilu laughed twice: "Go in and have a look, see if there are any good-looking girls."

"I want to go see it too." Wang Xia said with a serious face, "I want to go see your show, brother Qiu, shall we?"

Qiu Ning didn't answer, and asked Zi Luo, "Can I go in?"

"it should be OK."

Both Wang Xia, Shen Zilu and Qiu Ning can drink it. It is estimated that only Jiang Yu can't drink it, but Wang Xia likes to hold a glass of wine, and makes people have to finish it every time.Jiang Yu's stomach was so bloated that he felt dizzy after one bottle.

A few big boys got together and chatted endlessly, Qiu Ning chatted with Zi Luo from time to time, and Jiang Yu was either bored eating food or being drunk by Wang Xia.

Jiang Yu felt a little nauseous and ate a lot of cucumber slices.

Shen Zilu was a good drinker and didn't feel dizzy, so he asked Jiang Yu, "Is your family feeling better recently?"

What happened in his family was not a secret, and everyone else knew a little bit about it.Jiang Yu took a sip of the soup: "It's still the same."

Shen Zilu said: "In the future, if you have nothing to do, come and play with us, or you can go to time to watch our performance, and you will be free of charge when you go there."

"It's okay." Jiang Yu said calmly, "I'm not that fragile, and it's not like I was always beaten when I was a child."

There were already two empty wine bottles at Jiang Yu's feet, and Zi Luo knew his drinking capacity, so he leaned into his ear and asked, "Are you dizzy? Don't drink if you don't want to drink."

Even though they were not that close, Jiang Yu was still so sensitive that he could feel his breath in his ears.He was dizzy, and when he turned his head, he saw Qiu Ning's flashing gaze first, and then met Zi Luo's beautiful eyes.

He grinned and said, "I'm fine."

The surrounding area was filled with smoke, and several people couldn't stop drinking and smoking. Jiang Yu seemed to be addicted to cigarettes, but he hardly smoked outside, and even Zi Luo didn't know he smoked.

Shen Zilu lit another cigarette, and Jiang Yu felt itchy, afraid that other people would hear, so he lowered his head and whispered to him, "Give me a cigarette, quietly."

"Why are you still quietly, what's the point of smoking?"

"Keep your voice down." Jiang Yu lowered his hand, "Put it in my hand, I'll go out and suck it."

Shen Zilu was helpless: "You really..."

Jiang Yu held the cigarette and lighter in his hand, stood up slowly, and walked out of the private room with steady steps.

Zi Luo looked back, listening to Qiu Ning speak to him.

After inhaling for a few minutes, this time there was no chewing gum, Jiang Yu stood in front of the window and blew the wind for a while, then went back to the private room feeling dizzy.

He was afraid that Ziluo would smell it, so he sat down and ate the vegetables in the bowl, only to find something was wrong when he finished eating, the bowl was empty when he went out, who picked up the vegetables for him?

Zi Luo was still talking to Qiu Ning, but the light in Jiang Yu's eyes dimmed, and he turned to Shen Zilu and said, "Thank you."

Shen Zilu looked confused: "Thank you for what?"

"You brought me some food." Jiang Yu picked up the wine glass by himself, "It's all what I like to eat."

"Why are you still drinking by yourself?" After finishing the liquor, Shen Zilu's glass was filled with beer, so he touched him, "Cheers!"

Jiang Yu drank three bottles of beer clean, he felt that he was much better than last year, at least this time he didn't want to vomit.The three of them couldn't go back too late, they had enough to eat and drink for a meal, Qiu Ning couldn't drive to pick them up after drinking, so she called a car for Zi Luo and Jiang Yu, and stood by the roadside waiting for the car to come.

Zi Luo drank four or five bottles of beer, and looked the same as usual.He was still chatting with Qiu Ning, while Jiang Yu lowered his head and kicked the pebbles on the ground.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Shen Zilu said, "Yes, Jiang Yu, your drinking capacity has increased."

"That's right." Jiang Yu looked up, "I can try baijiu next time."

"Okay, I'll call you guys for dinner next time."

A car stopped in front of him, and Jiang Yu pushed in first, leaning his head on the seat, and heard Zi Luo say "Goodbye, Brother Qiu", followed by the sound of closing the car door.

The car drove slowly, and no one spoke.

Jiang Yu closed his eyes, unable to see Zi Luo's gaze.
