Chapter 5: The Band

For Ye Fei, who has experienced the college entrance examination, the study life in the third year of junior high school is not very stressful, and it almost took less than a week to systematically sort out the knowledge in the books.

Sometimes Ye Fei looked at the math test papers that had given him a headache, and he wondered if he had any problems with his IQ in the past, and he didn't even reach the passing line in such a simple question. As for the ancient texts and poems that need to be memorized in politics, history and language, Ye Fei, who used to read and memorize a large number of documents and reports in his work, felt that it was easy to memorize these pediatric things.

It's not that I have a bad memory, it's just that a lot of time is spent playing and squandering, and sometimes I just sit there in a daze for hours on end.

For my former self, it was a huge load to go home after a day of class in a row to complete my homework, and it was impossible to preview and review anything, and it would be eight or nine o'clock after writing my homework, if I had been studying, would I still want to watch TV or go out to Sui Hongyu and them to play games together?

Although Tokai City is not small, there are always friends and classmates who know each other from different schools. What Ye Fei didn't know was that his situation in No. 4 Middle School had been learned by a classmate from a friend in No. 4 Middle School, after all, the matter of directly smashing people on wheelstools outside the classroom and then dropping out of school was not a trivial matter in No. 4 Middle School.

The incident spread quickly in the class, and his academic performance in the fourth middle school was also pulled out along with the news. The students, who were still a little mysterious about this transfer student, now spontaneously and deliberately stayed away from him, apparently classifying him into the ranks of problem students and poor students.

Qin Yege and Ye Fei still didn't talk much, but one day when Ye Fei was doing the math test paper in English class as usual, Qin Yege was surprised to find that Ye Fei wrote the five so-called question papers sent by the math teacher as an interest development.

Most of the test papers of the high school entrance examination are questions that test the basic knowledge, as long as you usually listen well to complete the homework and do not make some low-level mistakes when you are not careless when doing the questions, then you can still get a not low score, and the real difference between the levels is the last few questions that occupy a certain proportion of scores but are very difficult to "gnaw down".

For ordinary students, the teacher's requirement is that you can get the score you can get by doing the first small question of the last few big questions correctly, but if you want to be admitted to a key university like No. 1 Middle School, you must be able to answer at least half of the last few big questions correctly to ensure that you have the hope of being admitted.

Qin Yege's academic performance has always been top-notch, stable in the top ten or so in the grade, but even after she sent out the test paper yesterday, she only barely finished the first one, and there were several questions that she was not sure to get right. Although Qin Yege didn't care much about the things in the class, she still heard about Ye Fei.

However, she was surprised and didn't think that Ye Fei was scribbling, because why didn't Ye Fei sleep and read novels during this time, wouldn't it be interesting to make up a lot of formulas and complicated calculation steps?

"These questions ...... You've figured it all out?"

The sound is cool and pleasant.

Ye Fei was holding up the cup and drinking the tea he had just brewed with a full sense of accomplishment at this time, and when he heard Qin Yege speak to him, the cup shook and almost splashed on the test paper he had just worked so hard to complete.

"I finished a paper yesterday, and there are a few questions that I am not very sure, but the teacher said that the answers will be sent next week, can you borrow your test paper to show me?" Qin Yege looked at Ye Fei's eyes, calm and indifferent, but there was no trace of shyness or unnaturalness.

Sitting in front of them were two boys, one named Sun Haiyang and the other named Li Hui. The two people who were excitedly discussing a game called "Red Alert 2" that was released less than a year ago but became popular in major Internet cafes suddenly froze their faces when they heard the voice behind them, and their heads turned slowly at the same time, like two vertical electric fans.

Qin Yege's coldness is well-known in the whole school, but the classmates in the class sometimes ask her to borrow notes to ask questions, and she never refuses, which makes the students of Class 18 very proud, and they have always regarded her as "their own person". But when did Qin Yege take the initiative to talk to someone other than the necessary communication, let alone ask for help. And this transfer student is said to have transferred to another school because of a fight, and it seems that his academic performance is not very good, it is already too much for such a person to be at the same table as Qin Yege, and he can even let Qin Yege ask questions, does she like this kind of jumping question student? She has never been unpretentious about Wang Dongyang!

Ye Fei came back to his senses, showed a gentle smile in the face of Qin Yege's gaze, and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I don't know if it's right or not, you can help me circle out the wrong questions by the way, and let's discuss it together." ”

Qin Yege nodded, and was not polite, and directly picked up the test paper on Ye Fei's table, picked out the one she had finished, folded it and put it into her textbook.

Sun Haiyang didn't care about being unfamiliar with Ye Fei, and said to Ye Fei in surprise: "Dude, you actually finished all the math questions you sent yesterday?

Ye Fei smiled at him and said, "My grades are average, but I am still more interested in mathematics, and I don't know if I am doing the right thing, and I may make a bunch of mistakes." ”

Sun Haiyang looked at Ye Fei's attitude as if he didn't look like the kind of prickly student who was flying and domineering, thinking that rumors couldn't be completely accurate after all, so he also smiled and said to Ye Fei: "Ye Fei, right? My name is Sun Haiyang, and the guy at my table is called Li Hui, since you are so good at math, then don't hide it if you have questions in the future, in case there are too many math homework and you can't complete anything, you must help." Ye Fei nodded and said, "No problem." ”

The relationship between students and students is so simple, and the distance between everyone seems to have been shortened all of a sudden. Ye Fei also felt that this was a good start, after all, although he was not particularly keen on having a good relationship with these children, being isolated by everyone was definitely not what he wanted to see.

What surprised him the most was that Qin Yege actually borrowed the test paper from him to see, it turned out that this cold-looking little beauty was not as arrogant as he had imagined before, relying on her grades and appearance to disdain everyone.

After school, Ye Fei packed his schoolbag and said hello to Dong Xingqi before leaving the classroom. Dong Xingqi usually walks with Zhang Jiayi and a few other girlfriends after school in the afternoon, and sometimes girls go to eat some snacks and drink a cup of milk tea after school, such a thing is naturally not called Ye Fei. But since that night, Dong Xingqi's eyes when he looked at Ye Fei seemed to have changed a little, at least not like before, he either showed a caring eye for mentally handicapped children, or he gritted his teeth with hatred for iron but not steel.

When he was about to walk to the school gate, Ye Fei noticed that something seemed to be wrong. Usually, there are groups of students waiting for people at the school gate, but today there are about a dozen tall and strong boys on the other side of the road, although they are chatting and playing, but their eyes have been sweeping over the students who are out of the school gate, and they don't look like they are waiting for acquaintances. It's like blocking people.

Ye Fei thought that when he was a student, he always couldn't avoid the appearance of this Zhong school bully, and it was normal to see who was not pleasing to the eye and asked a group of people to block people after school, but today I don't know which student offended this group of little overlords and was going to be unlucky. But as soon as he walked out of the school gate, Ye Fei found that the group of boys who looked infinitely close to the delinquent teenager did not look away after their eyes fell on him, but locked their own direction.

Wouldn't it, I've only been transferring schools for a week, and I've been found here? I didn't do anything! The corners of Ye Fei's mouth twitched, he just dealt with Zhang Meng and them a few days ago, but after all, most of them were students near the fourth middle school, if the people from this school were targeted, it would not be a day or two to deal with it, unless the trouble could be completely solved.

"Hey, come here. One of the yellow-haired boys pointed at Ye Fei and shouted arrogantly.

"I have to go home early because I have too much homework today, so I can't go, or I won't finish my homework, bye-bye. Ye Fei waved at them and walked straight towards the bus stop.

A group of people were a little confused, Ye Fei's usual greeting made them even wonder if everyone had known each other for a long time. Seeing that Ye Fei was about to leave, one of the boys wearing a baseball cap was the first to react, and this time he ran directly in front of Ye Fei to stop him and said, "Do I know you?

Ye Fei looked inexplicable and said, "I thought you knew me, since you don't know me, why stop me?"

The boy wearing the baseball cap was a little speechless, and then said angrily: "You don't care if I recognize you or not, it's not me who called you, it's Wang Dongyang who has something to tell you." ”

Ye Fei said: "Then is he here?

"What the hell are you ......"

"Enough, I'm Wang Dongyang, are you Ye Fei?" At this time, a tall and handsome boy walked over, wearing a white T-shirt on his upper body and a pair of blue jeans on his lower body.

Ye Fei nodded and said, "It's me, what is the matter with me?"

"You know Qin Yege, right?"

"Not familiar. ”

"Not familiar?" Wang Dongyang was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you at the same table as her?"

Ye Fei said: "It's the same table, but I've only been at this school for a week, and we haven't spoken a few words." ”

Wang Dongyang was a little breathless, obviously looking for this kid to settle accounts, but he didn't expect that the words didn't leave him a trace of room for provocation, and his face was a little unsightly at the moment, so he had to say: "You'd better stay away from her, otherwise you won't have a good fruit to eat, you know?"

Ye Fei smiled slightly and said, "Are you Qin Yege's boyfriend?"

"No, but I ......"

"You're chasing her?"

"Of course, so you'd better ......"

"Isn't that enough, are you too lenient?" Ye Fei spread his hands and continued: "We are at the same table, I can't stay away from her, and I didn't chase her, did you treat me as a rival in love earlier? Or do you think that you are really not competitive, and she can make you feel so much pressure if she contacts anyone casually?"

"Can you let me finish!?" Wang Dongyang couldn't hold back any longer, and it was estimated that if it wasn't for the school gate, he would have done it directly.

Ye Fei frowned and said: "It's not feasible for you to chase girls like this, isn't it possible for you to find threats as long as you have a boy who has an intersection with her?" This is a school, everyone is no exception, and they always have to deal with others, if you isolate her like this, what do you think she will have a good impression of you? If you find me just because I am her tablemate, I don't want to chase girls with your strength. ”

Wang Dongyang gasped, obviously on the verge of an outburst, but he felt in his heart that what Ye Fei said was right, and he didn't dare to teach this hateful boy who dared to speak out in front of him for a while. I found Ye Fei today because I heard that this kid was actually at the same table with Qin Yege, but he knew that just like Ye Fei said, if he really did something just because of the relationship between the two of them, a girl like Qin Yege would definitely not have any good feelings for him in the future.

"Wang Dongyang, what are you doing?"

A pleasant but domineering female voice came, and Ye Fei and Wang Dongyang looked back in the direction where the voice came from.

"Sail...... Sister Fan, why are you here, there is a show nearby?" Wang Dongyang, who was still holding his hands in his pockets and looking like he was dragging his head, saw that the man actually stammered, and his face was still a little frightened. Blue T-shirt, a pair of straight and slender thighs wrapped in skinny jeans, and a one-shoulder black bass backpack on her back, Ye Fei recognized this girl who stood out from the crowd at a glance, who was not Jiang Fan?

Jiang Fan walked up to them with a pair of long legs in three or two steps, and looked at the back of Wang Dongyang's head: "You called the group of people over there, look at the way you are flowing and angry, what are you doing here?"

Wang Dongyang was beaten and shrunk his neck, and glanced at Ye Fei quickly, there was both threat and pleading in his eyes, and said to Jiang Fan: "Sister Fan, I just want to get to know this buddy, it's nothing." ”

Jiang Fan said angrily: "I have something to look for him, why don't you get out of here if you're okay?"

Wang Dongyang was like being amnestied, so he hurriedly left with a group of fox friends and dog friends. A boy asked curiously: "Brother Dongyang, who is that woman?" Wang Dongyang glared at him and said: "What that woman, be careful when you speak, Uncle Jiang Haitao I often tell you knows, it's his daughter Sister Jiang Fanfan...... The boys gasped, looked back at Jiang Fan in awe, and no one dared to say anything more. It's just that Wang Dongyang also has some doubts in his heart, Jiang Fan actually knows Ye Fei?

Ye Fei said: "Why are you here?"

Jiang Fan glanced at him and said, "Why can't I be here?" There was a commercial show nearby, and we just broke up and happened to pass by. Also, don't you, you and you, should you call me senior sister, okay? ”

"I said you shouldn't have come to me, I'll go first. ”

Jiang Fan bit his lip, thinking to himself why this person was so ignorant, he shouldn't have been nosy to help him out just now! In normal times, she would have flashed people disdainfully, but when she thought of the song Ye Fei sang that day, her curiosity finally overwhelmed Tsundere.

"I'm passing by, but I really have something to look for you, let's go to the bubble tea shop over there to talk?" The students who were passing by around had already noticed the two of them, to be exact, Jiang Fan's dazzling existence. Hearing that Jiang Fan took the initiative to invite the kid to drink milk tea, the boys cast envious and jealous glances at Ye Fei.

Ye Fei stopped and looked back at her: "You don't happen to have no money in your pocket and want to trick me into inviting you to drink milk tea, right?"

The boys who were quietly watching slowed down and wanted to see more beauties for a while, but when they heard this, none of them almost fell down, and they all looked at Ye Fei angrily. If such a beautiful woman wants to drink milk tea, no one cares about spending money? If I invite her to drink milk tea every day, I am willing, you have been killed in your last life! You just don't have money in your pocket, you can't stretch it a little, it's really a shame for the majority of male compatriots!

Jiang Fan had already scolded Ye Fei a hundred and eighty times in his heart, gritted his teeth, but tried his best to pretend to have a smiling expression on his face and said, "I invite you." In the heartbroken voices of the wolves around him, Ye Fei revealed a smile that almost made Jiang Fan slap the beloved bass on his shoulder: "Okay." ”

The two came to the bubble tea shop and ordered something to sit down, and in the end it was Ye Fei who paid the money. Jiang Fan was still a little proud when Ye Fei took out his wallet, and after holding the warm milk tea with satisfaction, he looked at Ye Fei a lot, thinking that this person was not particularly hateful, he still had some gentlemanly demeanor, and he completely forgot that even if a boy wrapped up the entire milk tea shop for her in normal times, she would not care.

Jiang Fan likes to eat sweets, and prefers the sweet feeling of drinking milk tea, at this moment she is like a kitten quietly putting away her claws, quietly and leisurely enjoying the delicious food in front of her.

The clean and bright windows, the bass reclining on the wooden table, the gentle woman with long hair and a shawl sitting on the chair, and the beautifully packaged milk tea she was holding in her hand, Ye Fei had to admit that this picture was still quite dizzying. Reluctantly, Ye Fei said to Jiang Fan: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Jiang Fan frowned, glanced at Ye Fei dissatisfied, and said: "Can't you wait for me to drink a few more sips before saying this kind of bad scenery, but the milk tea in this shop near your school is really delicious, there is no milk tea shop near our No. 1 Middle School, if you want to drink it, you have to run at least a kilometer to buy it, from this point alone, your No. 3 Middle School is really enviable." ”

Ye Fei smiled and said, "The scenery in front of me is indeed good, I believe that most of the boys around you are willing to run this kilometer just to take a look." ”

Jiang Fan's face was a little red, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "You are only in junior high school, how can you talk like those perverts, can you learn well." ”

Ye Fei was speechless, I praised you for becoming a pervert, this label is really wronged.

Jiang Fan took a sip of milk tea and said, "What's the name of the song you sang that day, it's very good, did you write it yourself?"

Ye Fei replied casually: "Oh, my dad wrote it." ”

"Your dad wrote it?" Jiang Fan wondered, "Could it be that your dad also makes music?"

"It's not. ”

"And what does your dad do?"

"My dad works on the construction site. ”

"Construction site? Is your dad the boss of a real estate company? At first glance, he is a scholar of literature, and the lyrics are so literary and artistic. ”

Ye Fei said embarrassedly: "No, my dad is a security guard." "I think that a woman's curiosity is really strong, and such a thing is to the bottom of it.

Jiang Fan didn't believe what he said at all, and said unceremoniously: "Don't lie to people, what you write is what you write, for fear of being scolded for not doing your job, right?"

"What's the glory?"

"I think it's nice, isn't that your honor?"

“......”

Jiang Fan didn't continue to dwell on this question, and then said to Ye Fei: "Are you interested in coming to my band? At present, we have keyboardists, guitarists, and drummers, and I am the bassist and lead singer. ”

Ye Fei couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "You guys are very well staffed, I'll join in to serve you tea and pour water?"

Jiang Fan said: "You can be the lead singer." ”

Ye Fei said: "My lead singer, why are you going?"

"We can take turns singing, don't you play the guitar well?"

Ye Fei was troublesome, but he didn't want to anger this girl who had barely been rejected at first glance after refusing directly, he organized the wording and said: "Look, I'm in the third year of junior high school, and the learning task is very heavy, if I go to the band, I will delay my studies, and if I am always absent from rehearsals, it will affect the progress and performance of the whole team." ”

Jiang Fan said: "It's okay, you can come to rehearsal once a week, don't tell me that you can't even spare a few hours for two whole days on the weekend." ”

"What if you really can't pull it out?"

"If you really can't pull out, then don't let me see you at a barbecue stand or an Internet café or anything else on the weekend, or I'll smoke you. ”

Ye Fei had a little headache and said, "If you have the ability, you can go to my dad and talk about it, if he knows this, there is no probability that he will beat me ironclad." Seeing that the milk tea was also drunk, Ye Fei wanted to get up and say goodbye.

Jiang Fan thought for a while and said, "I saw that your wallet was very deflated just now, we are not a lonely and unknown campus interest class band, we will receive a lot of commercial performances." My mom is the leader of the mobile Donghai branch, and my dad has a wide range of connections, and I can help you register the copyright of the song you wrote, otherwise you will cry when someone else hears your song and preemptively registers it, you should be copyright conscious, right?"

Hearing this, Ye Fei had just lifted half of his ass and sat back again. With no connections and no start-up capital, he is worried that there is no way to make money now. What attracts him is not a commercial performance, but how much performance fee can a commercial performance earn? The profit brought by the copyright of the song he really cares about, after the launch of the CRBT business on Montnets this year, the copyright content of digital music has soared, and the songs with high popularity on the charts are still relatively gold-absorbing.

Seeing Ye Fei's movements, Jiang Fan couldn't help but despise it in his heart, thinking that I said it so hard that I didn't agree to this guy, as soon as he heard the money, he was energetic, hum!

Ye Fei said: "It's okay to join your band, but you are still the lead singer, and I can occasionally make a cameo as a guitarist or something." I'm mainly responsible for providing you with original songs, how about it? After the copyright is registered, it will belong to you, but how about we divide the money we make from relying on the copyright of the song?"

Jiang Fan said: "I know, you must still have a song written by yourself, even if it doesn't sound as good as before, it doesn't matter, writing a good song is hard to find, and original songs are easier to become famous than covers." But how do you make money from copyright? It's good that the songs you write can be used by us, and if you can make money in terms of copyright, you won't suffer in vain? In this way, in the future, as long as we sing the songs you wrote, we will also give you 30%, right?"

"Deal. Ye Fei stretched out his hand.

Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment, and then generously reached out and shook Ye Fei, but the roots of his ears were slightly red.

"By the way, what's the name of your band?"

"The Polaris. ”

"Oh, that's a vulgar name, I think you can still do it alone. ”

After speaking, Ye Fei got up and began to run away.

"Dare to insult my band, I can't beat you!" Jiang Fan picked up the piano bag next to him and put it on his shoulder, and then chased out the door.

The glow of the setting sun shines on the wide streets, and the bus stops along the streets, the occasional bicycles passing through the road, and the occasional falling leaves that fall into the air are all dyed with a brilliant layer of gold. And the boys and girls who chased after each other gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

Every night we say goodbye, but every morning we hope to see each other again, which is the most touching beauty of our young years.
