Chapter 61: I'll Go with You
When Xiao Yao went to work at the "Buy More" supermarket again the next night, Zhou Jingyi took the initiative to walk to Xiao Yao's side and said, "Thank you last night." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"You seem to have said thank you to me several times last night. Xiao Yao smiled, and then whispered, "Besides, didn't you invite me to drink last night?" I didn't find this girl so polite before, why don't you thank you endlessly.
"No, this thank you is not for what you did in the alley last night, but for what you did for me after I fell asleep on the couch. Zhou Jingyi looked at Xiao Yao and said.
Xiao Yao realized that Zhou Jingyi was referring to helping her cover her blanket and help her lock the door when she left. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Those are nothing, it's just a gesture." ”
"Okay, then I'll do it too. With that, Zhou Jingyi squatted down beside Xiao Yao and helped Xiao Yao pick up the goods.
Xiao Yao smiled, but didn't stop her.
Also squatting down, Xiao Yao said to Zhou Jingyi again: "By the way, about the "National Street Dance Competition" you said last night..."
"Are you really so interested?" Zhou Jingyi glanced at Xiao Yao in surprise, and then said, "I remember I told you last night that this event is only for Americans. The year before last, one of the participating teams was persuaded to withdraw from the competition because one of the Japanese team members in the team was found out by the organizers of the tournament that they had not yet received a green card, and they were asked to wait until the team member of theirs got a green card this year. Rules are rules!"
"No, I don't have to join. Just wanted to see you guys rehearse. Xiao Yao smiled and said, "You've seen the rehearsals of our band, so I think it's a reasonable request to go and see the rehearsals of your dance team." ”
"Well, it's okay to see us rehearse. Zhou Jingyi nodded, took out her mobile phone and said, "By the way, I don't have your contact information yet, tell me your phone number, and I'll notify you when we rehearse." ”
"Okay. Xiao Yao also took out his mobile phone, left a phone call with Zhou Jingyi, and continued: "I was also a member of a dance team when I was in Huaxia, maybe I can give you some advice at that time." ”
"Yes, very welcome. Zhou Jingyi said with a smile. Although she said that, she remembered that Xiao Yao said last night that she had only started learning to dance the year before last, and she didn't think that Xiao Yao really had any good suggestions to help their dance team. She thinks that Xiao Yao, the second generation of Chinese stars, wants to go to their rehearsals, or for fun.
The two squatted in the middle of the shelves and chatted quietly, which also attracted the attention and discussion of some employees in the supermarket.
"Didn't Kim look unhappy with Yang a few days ago? Why did he go to chat with Yang uncharacteristically today, and he still looked very familiar?" said a white girl at the cash register to a colleague next to her.
"There are two of them, one is Chinese and the other is Chinese. It's normal for them to come together. A white young man who had nothing to do for the time being, came to the cash register and chatted with the cashier girl, "Maybe they are chatting in Chinese right now." ”
"Let me tell you, Kim had a bad attitude towards Yang the other day, mainly because Yang was too cowardly in the face of thieves that day. You said that Kim was chasing the thief in the back, and Yang didn't help stop the thief in front, and he got aside to make way for the thief, and everyone would be unhappy. The cashier girl whispered to her colleague and gossiped.
"It's too cowardly. But to be honest, in fact, you can't be too harsh on Yang, after all, he is only a middle school student, and he is from China, unlike us Americans who have been influenced by heroic culture since childhood. The young man said, bending his arm to show off his biceps.
"Aside from his performance that day, Jan was actually quite likeable. The cashier girl said, "In addition to being good-looking and in good shape, Kim also told me that Jan is still a bandmate." She once went to the warehouse to pick up something and saw Jan and a band rehearsing in the supermarket warehouse. Seems to have a lot of musical talent. ”
"So what? In the United States, there are still few middle school students playing bands? Besides, they are just a student band, at most they can perform on the school stage, how talented can they be?" The white young man glanced at his lips and said, "I know about them borrowing the supermarket warehouse to rehearse, if they are really good, why don't they even have a place to rehearse, and they have to ask old Robert to borrow the supermarket warehouse to rehearse?"
"Are you a musical idiot jealous?" the cashier girl grinned, "I remember the last time we went to the bar to sing karaoke, you were booed off the stage by the people in the bar." ”
"Hey!" the white young man glared at the cashier dissatisfiedly, "I'm going to work, I'm not going to tell you." ”
After the school anniversary, the band did not have a mission to perform at the school before Christmas this year. One of my most recent assignments was to be a guest performer for the "Daydream" Los Angeles concert before Christmas. So they don't have to be so tight about their rehearsal schedules. The main rehearsal time is in school activity classes and Xiao Yao does not have to go to the supermarket to work part-time in the evenings of the days and during the day on weekends.
This weekend, Xiao Yao, who had finished the band rehearsal, glanced at his phone, and then said to Dean: "Dean, tonight's music study class is canceled, and I have something to go out." ”
Dean said that he wanted to learn songwriting from Xiao Yao, but he didn't just talk about it, but learned from Xiao Yao very seriously. As long as he and Xiao Yao are free, he will go to Xiao Yao's room and learn about songwriting from him.
"Okay, got it. Dean nodded, no objection. After all, Xiao Yao is a compulsory teacher for him, and since Xiao Yao has something to do, he will naturally not be reluctant.
"You're not going to go to your friend's house for a drink again, are you?" said Sarmien on the side.
"What? There is such a thing?" Dean immediately glared at Xiao Yao and said, "There is such a good thing, you have to take me." ”
"And us!" said George and Mike immediately.
The law in the United States that strictly prohibits young people under the age of 21 from drinking alcohol has not been taken seriously by a few teenagers, for them, the biggest problem is that the law still punishes most places that sell alcohol very severely, and many people who look young will be required to show their ID cards or driver's licenses when they come to buy alcohol, and they will not sell alcohol to them if they are not old age. It's not so easy for them to get a drink.
"Hey, you're not under the legal drinking age," Sarmien said dissatisfied.
"Come on, Sammy, don't talk like you've never drunk, aren't you old enough to drink?" Dean said with a pouting at Sarmyon.
"You guys—" Sarmien was a little angry.
"Alright, stop! I didn't say I was going to drink. Xiao Yao stretched out his hands and stopped between the two siblings.
"Dean, I'm going to see a hip-hop dance team rehearsing, are you interested? If so, I think I can take you along. Xiao Yao revealed to Dean.
Without waiting for Dean to answer, Xiao Yao turned to George and Mike and said, "You two too." ”
"Hip-hop?" Dean's face drooped, and his mouth was a little bitter, "What's so good about hip-hop? Why are you playing hip-hop again? Can't you play something that has nothing to do with sports?"
"What's wrong with hip-hop? They're going to compete in this year's National Hip-hop competition. It should still be a bit interesting. Besides, I'm here to watch, not to join them in dancing. This tournament is limited to Americans, and I can't play it even if I want to. Xiao Yao said helplessly.
"Thanks to this rule of this competition, if you really want to do street dance, our band rehearsals and my music lessons will definitely be affected. Dean clasped his hands together and looked up at the heavens.
"Hey, Dean!" Xiao Yao punched Dean in the shoulder with some dissatisfaction. Then he looked at everyone and said, "Whether you are going or not, if you don't go, I will leave." ”
"Don't go. Street dance is such a thing, when you see others dancing, you can't help but want to dance, when I dance, I can only make a fool of myself, or don't look at it, you go yourself. Dean waved his hand, "I'd better go home and review what you taught me the other day and see if I can write some nice melodies." Music is what I love the most. ”
"What about you?" Xiao Yao looked at George and Mike again.
"Don't go. George and Mike shook their heads together.
"In that case, then I'm leaving. Xiao Yao greeted and was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait, I'll go with you!" Sarmeon, who was not involved in the discussion, suddenly spoke.
"I'll go with you to have a look, can I?" Samion said as he looked at Xiao Yao, who was looking at him in surprise.
"Of course," Xiao Yao nodded.
"In that case, then I'll drive you there. Sarmien added, "Let Dean ride your bike back for you." ”
"OK, I don't have a problem. Xiao Yao shrugged.
"Let's go, then," said Sarmien, leading the way.
Xiao Yao followed Sarmyne out, and heard Dean's voice behind him: "Mike, you drove your father's pickup truck, right? Yang's car is put in the back of your pickup truck, and you send me back..."
After getting in the car, Xiao Yao reported the address sent by Zhou Jingyi to Samion. Sarmien, who was very familiar with Calabasas, soon found a place for Zhou Jingyi's dance team to rehearse.
The place where the two arrived was a sparsely populated abandoned factory area, and seeing this kind of place, Xiao Yao couldn't help but think of the rehearsal room of the Dawn Dance Team. However, the difference is that the rehearsal room of the Dawn Dance Team is in a renovated creative park, while here is a real and original abandoned factory.
Following the sound of powerful music, the two easily found the factory where the dance team rehearsed. Parking the car at the door of the factory, the two of them got out of the car and worked together to open the heavy door of the factory.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" As soon as the two of them walked into the factory, a young black man who found them greeted them and asked them.
"We're looking for Kim, Kimberly Chow. I was her friend and came to see her rehearse. Xiao Yao smiled and looked at the black young man in front of him with an explosive hairstyle.
"Oh, then come in. The exploding black young man shook his head inside, walked in first, and shouted as he walked: "Yo ~ Kim, you have a friend here." (To be continued.) )
