As the first half month of the show approached, Chen Xi and Zhou Yantong recruited temporary bass players and drummers.

First, he recruited bass player Yu Ning on the message board of the record store, and later met drummer Yuan Fangheng at the piano store.

The four members of the band rushed to rehearse for half a month, and Xie Jingnian was also reviewing for the final exam.

All the talk about him in the school has gradually subsided, although occasionally there will still be people who have nothing to do and have to come over to provoke him a few times.

Jia Feichen and Zhuang Jie guarded Xie Jingnian's side, like the second general Humha, it was hard for anyone to get close, and they would kill anyone who came looking for trouble.

"Do you want to eat at the same table?"

Jia Feichen hid his hand in the table, secretly holding a large bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips.He brought this in the morning, and now it's almost lunch break, and there is still a small half bag left, "This taste is really delicious."

Xie Jingnian ate one, and after chewing, there was a cool breeze in his mouth, and the taste was a little strange.

"What are you eating, Feifeigou?" Zhuang Jie saw clearly the little movements of the two of them from behind, and immediately raised his foot and kicked the stool under Jia Feichen's butt a few times.

"I'll tell you, Old Dog Zhuang, if you call me that again, we'll break up our relationship!" Jia Feichen threatened, but honestly passed the potato chips from under the table.

Recently, their history teacher was replaced by a middle-aged man in his forties, with a straight hair parted in the middle. Judging from his appearance alone, he was probably a handsome guy when he was young.It's just that the clothes are really unflattering.

He was wearing an emerald green down jacket today, with a dark red turtleneck sweater inside, black cropped wide-leg trousers underneath, and a long white sock exposed above the small leather shoes.

What Jia Feichen loves most is his class.This teacher is not only humorous in his lectures, but also has a very good temper. As long as the students do not behave particularly outrageously, he basically doesn't care much.

In the past, Jia Feichen was most annoyed by the history, which was lengthy and troublesome, but since he changed his teacher, he began to be able to listen to it somewhat, and his weekly quiz scores skyrocketed.

He was in a trance here, and he was called by the history teacher's name all of a sudden, but he didn't react.The mouth ran ahead, the brain chased behind, and he blurted out the answer.

The history teacher looked at him with a smile and asked him a question, what color was the ancient bronze vessel.

Jia Feichen thought this is not easy, it must be blue.

Just as he was about to speak with confidence, Xie Jingnian reminded him in a low voice: "Gold."

"Golden gold, teacher."

After Jia Feichen finished his answer, the history teacher smiled at him, praised him a few words and continued to teach.

"Hey at the same table, why are bronzes made of gold?"

Jia Feichen kept questioning him in the cafeteria, but Xie Jingnian didn't answer him, only telling him to read a book.

Returning to the classroom after eating, Xie Jingnian pulled out an envelope from under the book on the table as soon as he sat down.

There was a pink bow tied on the white envelope, but the delicate bow had been shriveled by the books.

Xie Jingnian looked around, but in the end he didn't take it apart and put it in his schoolbag.

Four big men were stuffed into the originally spacious practice room, which suddenly became a bit cramped.Xie Jingnian hesitated at the door for a long time whether to go in or not.

In the end, Zhou Yantong called him in.

Drummer Yuan Fangheng met Xie Jingnian once before. He is a bald guy who works as a programmer in an Internet company, so he always wears a hat.Today he wore a bright orange hat, sat behind the drum and nodded to Xie Jingnian as a greeting.

Beisi Yuning is a new face, and his name does not match at all.He has dreadlocks, wears a graffiti-printed hoodie and leggings, and looks about the same age as Xie Jingnian.

Probably because Yu Ning was very excited to meet someone of the same age, he strode over to Xie Jingnian with his right hand outstretched and shouting: "Hey bro!"

Xie Jingnian was taken aback by him and stood there at a loss.

Yu Ning didn't care too much, he took Xie Jingnian's right hand and clasped it against his shoulder, lowered his voice and started a self-introduction: "Hey! This is Yu Ning, AKA Xiaobai Ning in the waves, they are all called I--"

"Okay, you." Zhou Yan slapped the man on the back of the head and forcibly interrupted Yu Ning's rap, "Say it eight times a day and your tongue won't tie you up."

"What the hell are you doing with my head! If I don't grow taller, it's all because of you!"

Perhaps Yu Ning felt that he had lost face in front of others, that he couldn't hold back his face, and his neck was flushed with anger.

Xie Jingnian also reported his name, so he knew Yu Ning.

To be honest, Xie Jingnian seldom got to see the rehearsal of Anti-Blade. Occasionally, he could see Chen Xi and Zhou Yantong rehearsing for a few bars, which was far less formal.

"Where's Brother Rotten?" Xie Jingnian asked while sitting on a stool.

"He went to buy strings." Yu Ning leaned over and sat down next to Xie Jingnian, throwing away even the bass, just to chat with Xie Jingnian, "Are you the No. [-] Middle School uniform? Coincidentally, I am here Next door to you, from No. [-] Middle School."

Xie Jingnian thought that he just looked young, but he didn't expect that he was really young.After all, looking at his dreadlocks, Xie Jingnian never imagined that he was still a student: "Your school doesn't care about hair?"

"Ah, this..." Yu Ning hesitated for a long time, then dragged Xie Jingnian's school uniform sleeves and led him outside the house.

Zhou Yantong shouted from behind: "You two don't go far away, we will rehearse when Chen Xi comes back later."

Xie Jingnian didn't know what Yu Ning was going to do, so he could only follow him until he reached the bushes behind the house.

Yu Ning mumbled to Xie Jingnian that he wanted to tell him a secret, and asked him to help keep it.

In fact, Xie Jingnian didn't want to know his secret, but because of his enthusiasm, it was hard to refuse.

Yu Ning looked around again like a thief, and after confirming that there was no one else, he pulled off his "dirty braid" with a "shua".

It turned out that Yu Ning had a straight shaved head, but wore a dreadlock-style hat on his head.It's quite true, and probably no one will find it if you don't look carefully.

Xie Jingnian was still in a daze because of this "shocking secret", Yu Ning had put on his dreadlocked hat again, and put his arms around Xie Jingnian's neck, looking like a good brother.

As soon as the two of them walked around the corner of the house, they ran into Chen Shi who was coming back.With a plastic bag in his hand, he saw the two raised their eyebrows and looked them up and down.

"Hey, brother is back." Yu Ning greeted Chen Xi with a grin.

Xie Jingnian was pressed by Yu Ning's shoulders, and as soon as he met Chen Xi's eyes, he panicked. He immediately broke away from Yu Ning's arm, and obediently called out: "Brother Jiu."

Chen Xi licked the corner of his mouth at him, and said, "Go into the house."

Yu Ning seemed to be quite afraid of being old. After entering the room, his hands and feet were bound, and he sat there holding Bess and playing with his mobile phone, and rarely approached Xie Jingnian to talk to him.

Chen Kui sat next to Xie Jingnian and changed the strings of the electric guitar, and Xie Jingnian just stared at it.Because he had collapsed before, and it was Chen Xi who replaced it for him.

At that time, he wanted Chen Xi to teach him to change the strings, but he was rejected, and he still hasn't learned it.

"Brother Rotten." Xie Jingnian lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and whispered, "You promised me to teach me to change the strings before."

But it's a pity that Chen Xi was not tricked by him, and he replied without raising his head: "When did I promise you?"

Now Xie Jingnian was speechless.

After changing the strings, several people began to formally rehearse.

The rehearsal atmosphere was different from what Xie Jingnian had imagined, it was quite relaxed and harmonious.Of course, this is only if no one goes wrong and everything goes well.

"The drum is coming in too early, and you follow him before he hits the note?" Chen Xi stopped playing the guitar, looked at Yuan Fangheng and said, "Steady."

Although it was Yuan Fangheng who was talking about it, but Yu Ning winked at the side listening, his expression changed back and forth, as if Chen Xi was talking about him.

"Do it again, from where you left off."

Chen Xi stood not far from Xie Jingnian, just a little more than one step away.He plucked the strings of the electric guitar, stood behind the microphone and sang the lyrics, his eyes were all focused on Xie Jingnian, and he couldn't take his eyes off him.

Xie Jingnian suddenly felt as if he was watching a counter-blade concert, a concert with only himself as the audience.
