On Saturday, school ends at noon.
However, students who have participated in competitive clubs must continue to stay in school and go to corresponding classrooms to participate in training camps.
Ying Chanxi had to continue taking classes in the afternoon, and Li Luo was bored, so he was invited by Yan Zhusheng to hang out at the rock club.
"Your rock club also has activities every week." Li Luo followed Yan Zhusheng and walked towards the school gymnasium.
Because the rock club uses musical instruments, if the activity venue is placed next to the teaching building, it may disturb students in other classrooms.
So the school arranged the rock club in the activity room on the second floor of the gymnasium.
"We have to practice collectively recently," Yan Zhusheng said. "At the end of the month is the school sports meeting, and our band will perform at the opening and closing ceremonies."
"Good guy, are you serious?" Li Luo was a little surprised. He thought that the school club was just for students to play for themselves, but he actually actually participated.
In his previous high school, let alone playing, there was no such thing as a band.
The opening ceremony of the sports meeting is nothing more than each class walking in front of the playground and listening to the principal's long speech, while the students are basking in the sun underneath.
And the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School will actually provide the school band with the opportunity to perform.
"Hey, you are here."
On the second floor of the gymnasium, when I saw Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng walking together, the short-haired girl who was playing drums in the corner greeted them with a smile, "The others haven't come yet, so we have to wait for a while."
"Yeah, okay." Yan Zhusheng nodded, walked to the cabinet nearby, and took out one of his guitars.
"Zhusheng, Qian Siliang is on leave today, please take charge of the keyboard." Niu Qingling, who was in front of the drum kit in the corner, said, "Li Luo, come and play guitar for a while?"
"Me?" Li Luo hesitated, "She said you were practicing songs for the sports meeting recently, right? I won't join in the fun as an outsider."
"Xie Shuchen will be here soon, but he said he would be late, so you can help me first," Niu Qingling said.
"Okay."
The number of people in the rock club is very small.
Since three senior seniors quit the club after the National Day, there are only eight people left in the rock club.
Among them, Niu Qingling is a drummer and has just taken over as the president of the rock club.
In addition, there are four freshmen in the first year of high school and three players in the second year of high school.
Among these seven people, in addition to Yan Zhusheng, there is also a bassist, two guitars, a keyboard, and two vocals.
Among them, a guitarist and a vocalist did not quit the club because they had to compete and train in their second year of high school, but in fact they almost quit the club and they rarely come here.
So now I can barely hold up the structure of a band, with one person in each position, and Yan Zhusheng is a free agent, so I can move wherever I need.
After a while, Wei Duo, who was in charge of lead vocals, and Shao Youpeng, who was in charge of bass, also arrived.
Li Luo had nothing to do. Seeing that Xie Shuchen hadn't arrived yet, he temporarily took over the position of the guitarist and followed Yan Zhusheng and the others for a while, practicing "Brave Heart" which they planned to sing at the opening ceremony.
Li Luo actually had fun, since he was just a non-staff member anyway.
When Xie Shuchen rushed over at around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Luo got out of the way and quietly enjoyed the band's performance.
But at four o'clock in the afternoon, during the band's intermission, lead singer Wei Duo called Niu Qingling out privately.
I don’t know what they said, but when the two of them came back, their faces were a little ugly.
"Let's stop practicing here today. Everyone can go home and rest." Niu Qingling said after returning.
But the others were not stupid, and they clearly felt that something was wrong.
After Wei Duo left first, Li Luo asked curiously: "What's going on?"
"Well..." Niu Qingling showed a somewhat ugly smile, "Maybe I need to tell the teacher. I probably won't be able to perform at the sports meeting."
"What the hell is wrong with not being able to play?" Xie Shuchen on the side suddenly shouted, "I was practicing during the National Day, why can't I play? What did Wei Duo say just now?"
"She won't come later, will she?" Shao Youpeng said with a snort, "I remember that she is going to participate in the chemistry competition recently, so she probably doesn't want to waste time."
"Well, that's it anyway." Niu Qingling covered her head with some distress, "I guess there won't be enough people for the sports meeting. We can only wait for the New Year's Day party at the end of the year. Everyone should be free by then."
"Tsk." Xie Shuchen was a little unhappy. He had been waiting to show off at the sports meeting for a long time. Before coming today, he even told Ying Chanxi about it, but ended up saying no. "Can't we just do it?"
Don’t you want me to sing?”
"Um..." Niu Qingling looked at Xie Shuchen, pondered for a moment, and then said, "How about giving it a try?"
Several people took action again, but this time, Xie Shuchen was both the guitarist and the lead singer.
The moment he held the microphone, Xie Shuchen was still a little excited. He began to imagine the passionate scene of himself on the stage of the sports meeting, and his whole person felt a little light and airy.
But soon, reality gave him a hammer.
If he simply strums the chords with his guitar and then sings a folk song while holding the guitar, Xie Shuchen would still have no problem.
Then when it comes to singing rock songs like "Braveheart", Xie Shuchen's limited singing skills are a bit stretched.
I couldn't sing the high notes, so I had to sing hard during the chorus, which turned into a broken voice.
After being out of tune, the guitar became unstable and full of mistakes.
So in the middle of the performance, Niu Qingling stopped and said helplessly: "Why don't we forget it, the sports meeting happens every year anyway."
"It won't be our turn next year, President." Shao Youpeng rolled his eyes at the side, "If it really doesn't work out, I will go directly to the physics competition. I just took the time to do it."
If he hadn't wanted to show off his skills in front of Xu Youyu, and Yan Zhusheng next to him looked good, Shao Youpeng would have escaped long ago.
At this time, Li Luo, who was watching the show on the sidelines, couldn't help but asked: "Sister, why don't you let the bamboo sheng sing?"
"Ah?" Niu Qingling was stunned for a moment, "Can she sing?"
"No...don't you know?" Li Luo was also stunned and turned to look at Yan Zhusheng, "You didn't say that?"
"Huh?" Yan Zhusheng tilted his head, "I told you, I can take any position."
"But..." Niu Qingling opened her mouth.
Because in her impression, during the interview, Yan Zhusheng played all the instruments as soon as she came in. Even she could play the drums well, she had really learned it.
So Niu Qingling never thought about Yan Zhusheng's ability to sing, and subconsciously arranged her to another position.
"Here, sing a few lines." Li Luo handed the microphone to Yan Zhusheng, "Just Brave Heart, chorus, this is the feeling of flying~"
"This is the feeling of flying~"
"This is the feeling of freedom~"
Yan Zhusheng picked up the microphone, closed his eyes, and then sang two lines a cappella. He instantly entered the state. The explosion and power of the high notes immediately confused Niu Qingling.
"Look, she can do it." Li Luo said with a smile.
"But." The surprise flashed across Niu Qingling's face, and then she said a little embarrassedly, "But if this happens, the position of the keyboard player will be freed up."
"Where's Qian Siliang?"
"He said he was asking for leave, but he has asked for leave several times. In fact, he just means that he won't come..."
"Um... how about I do it?" Xie Shuchen volunteered, "My piano is a little better than the guitar, but I don't know how it is different from the keyboard."
"You can give it a try." Niu Qingling's eyes lit up, "The difference is not big, as long as you can read music."
"In that case, Xie Shuchen will be in charge of the keyboard, Shao Youpeng will be the bass player, and Zhushengqi will be the lead singer, and then..."
At this point, Niu Qingling's eyes fell on Li Luo: "Li Luo, do you want to come and play?"
"...Yan Zhusheng can play and sing at the same time." Li Luo twitched the corner of his mouth, wondering why he was involved.
But Yan Zhusheng took the microphone, took a step back, and then said: "I can't."
Li Luo: "?"
"Oh, come on." Niu Qingling put the guitar into his hand, "Do you have a competition to participate in?"
"……No."
"Are you busy with other club activities?"
"I'm from the basketball club..."
"Have you gone to the basketball club selection for the school team?"
"...No, but I'm still from the literary club."
"The literary club only needs to submit one manuscript every month." Yan Zhusheng added.
Li Luo: "...you are quite smart at this time."
"I'm not stupid to begin with." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, with a little joy in his eyes.
It's like a kitten succeeding in its first bad deed.
…
At around five o'clock in the evening, I walked out of the rock club.
Li Luo looked at the application form in his hand and sighed: "I got on the pirate ship for no reason."
"Your guitar skills are not enough." Yan Zhusheng reminded from the side, "I can teach you for free."
"I really appreciate you."
The two of them walked back to the classroom and packed their schoolbags.
After a while, Ying Chanxi came down from upstairs.
"Li Luo, go upstairs and help me."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Luo packed his schoolbag and followed Ying Chanxi to the fourth floor. Then he watched her take out five or six furry dolls and stuff them into Li Luo's arms.
Li Luo looked down and saw that there were dolls, small crocodiles, and cats and dogs.
Liu Shaowen bought so many dolls?
Li Luo was surprised in his heart and couldn't help but ask: "Who gave this as a gift?"
"I don't know what's going on." Ying Chanxi wiped his forehead speechlessly, "Several boys gave me gifts today, and they were all dolls like this. I can't handle them alone."
"If you don't want it, just refuse it, right?"
"The problem is that I don't know who gave them to me." Ying Chanxi's head was full of black lines. "When I came back from extra classes, there were these dolls on the table. I heard from my classmates in the classroom that they were given by several boys.
things, but I don’t know who they are.”
Li Luo: "..."
Looking at these dolls in his arms, Li Luo felt inexplicably guilty.
But he obviously only told Liu Shaowen...
Just as he was thinking this, Yan Zhusheng followed him upstairs, took out a cute doll from his schoolbag, and handed it to Ying Chanxi's arms: "It's for you."
Ying Chanxi blinked, a little unresponsive: "Zhusheng, why did you give me this?"
"A gift between friends." Yan Zhusheng said, "Mom said, let me be nice to my friends."
"But why is it also a doll..."
"Li Luo said it, he said you like dolls."
Ying Chanxi: "?"
"Li Luo! Don't run!"
"I don't know anything!"
"Stop! If you don't feel guilty, why are you running!"
Chapter completed!
