CHAPTER 2 FRIENDS, MY DEAR MATES
"A good man and three gangs, sometimes, the assists of your friends can often save you a lot of effort in the process of chasing women, even if sometimes they are really cheating, but more often, they will highlight the shining points in you, so, find a few unreliable friends!" - "A Confession of a Waste, Teach You How to Become a Scumbag - Friends" by Tian Licheng
"YAHO, GOOD AFTERNOON, I'M NOT LATE THIS TIME. Tian Licheng smiled and pushed open the door of the activity room, like Qiao Shan of the big health care series, and said hello to his three friends.
"Xiao Tiantian, it's too late, it's too late, whatever detains your Jiwa, you have to detain Dad's baby! Look at this day, every time you are the last to arrive. Look at Miss Yoshida, who is so bored that the grass is about to grow, but people are waiting for you early in the lecture of the Department of Finance. A boy with a hedgehog head, a smile on his face, and a height of about 1.8 meters put his arm around his shoulders and pointed to a girl sitting in the corner.
His name is Shi Geqi, he is a self-acquaintance, studying in medical school, and his name sounds like a girl, but in fact, he is a master of his sister, self-proclaimed "a gun in Dongda Hongxiang", optimistic by nature, heartless, as if he has never had anything to worry about.
"You didn't arrive a few minutes before him, so don't laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps. Let's have a little dessert and a few calories before we go to the meeting. β
This is an ordinary-looking boy, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking mature and sophisticated, his name is Yamamoto Shinyoshi, Department of Physics, a typical science and engineering man, thoughtful, but quite proficient in all kinds of dessert making.
As one of the pastries in charge, he often brings some homemade desserts for everyone to taste, and today he enthusiastically took a box of cookies to share with everyone.
"Hmm, thank you, Xinyijun, (βvβ) Well, it tastes really good, fragrant! After Lao Tian took a bite, he squinted his eyes, shook his head, and enjoyed himself: "If you want me to say, how good it is for you to open a store directly to sell dim sum, and what kind of physics department you are studying, it is simply a tyrannical thing! After speaking, he directly stuffed the cookie into his mouth, stared at the remaining prey in the box, picked left and right, picked up a black cookie and took a bite, well~ It is indeed chocolate-flavored, which is this bitter and sweet feeling.
Shinyoshi Yamamoto shook his head with a smile and said, "Making desserts is just a trivial hobby of mine, and if I am asked to face the oven every day, I will definitely go crazy." By the way, Hibiscus-chan, why don't you eat one? If you don't do anything, you'll be eaten up by those two guys. β
"They don't dare to finish it, because Li Chengjun will always leave me a vanilla-flavored one. A lazy female voice came.
This is the only girl in the quartet - Hibiscus Yoshida.
Yoshida's eyes are so large that it gives the illusion that half of his face is an eye. Her eyes are extraordinarily attentive, as if she can see through her mind, and people unconsciously want to indulge in them.
Today's eldest lady has short burgundy shawl hair, a small nose, a red and tender mouth, and a blue and white plaid dress, as if she is a beautiful girl who came out of the comics.
It's just that at this moment, she is lying on the table without any image, her head resting on her hands, and her big black-rimmed glasses lying quietly on the side.
She tilted her head sideways to look at the scenery outside the window, and gently brushed the hair on her forehead: "In the blink of an eye, it's my junior year, and our college life is actually halfway over, it's really scary to think about, I always feel that time is passing faster and faster." β
"Eh, it's rare, you actually have this kind of sad time. Shi Geqi suddenly rushed to the edge of Yoshida Hibiscus and looked up and down: "Are you possessed by aliens?" Say, where did you hide our little Hibiscus?"
"Don't make a fuss!" Yoshida sat up, brushed his hair, and waved at the hedgehog head like a mosquito.
Then she changed her posture again, half-squinted, her right hand supported her cheek, and her left hand made a "come, come, come" gesture to Tian Licheng: "Huh, Xiao Tiantian, bring me the cookies." βγ
"Miss, your vanilla flavor, the most perfect one in the end, please smile. Lao Tian bent his waist and respectfully brought the remaining cookie to the girl's mouth.
Yoshida glanced at Lao Tian and took a bite: "Hmm, it tastes good, Xin Yijun, the amount of vanilla is just right today, perfect!" Licking her lips, she looked at the waiter Lao Tian with satisfaction, she finished the cookie in two bites, put on black-framed glasses, clapped her hands at everyone and said, "Okay, I'm done eating, it's time for us to get down to business." Next weekend is the May Hongo School Festival.,We're running out of time.,But now we haven't even decided what song to sing.,The progress is too slow!"
"Especially you, Li Chengjun, are either late, or dozing off in the meeting, and your attitude is particularly bad!" The eldest lady's volume suddenly increased a lot, her eyes widened, and she pointed her finger at Tian Licheng angrily, and straightened out the sitting posture of Lao Tian, who had planned to lazily play soy sauce today.
"I always feel like it's annoying to participate in the school festival.γ He scratched his head and said: "I have to prepare equipment, I have to set up the stage, and the most troublesome thing is to hand out flyers, what I hate the most is to hand out flyers, every time I finish it, I feel that my body is hollowed out." After saying that, he demonstrated what it means to "have your body hollowed out"βlying on the table like the eldest lady just now.
"Is this the reason why you didn't participate in the club performance in the first two years? It's all because of you, so the three of us are too lazy to participate in the school festival, obviously we have been practicing hard all the time!" Yoshida complained mercilessly.
Shi Geqi and Yamamoto Shinyi also nodded on the side.
"Hey, did you two just succumb to the eldest lady's obscenity?What about the discipline of the Dongying man?" Lao Tian felt that these two teammates had no self-esteem as male creatures at all, and they were simply the eldest lady's humming generals, but he himself was not much better.
The other two male compatriots shook their heads again and again, "What is the festival? It doesn't exist, of course Yoshida is much more terrifying." β
"Hey, Li Chengjun, we're already in our third year. By this time next year, everyone will be busy looking for jobs and writing papers, and no one can say if they will be able to get together again like they are now. This school festival may be the last time we will have the opportunity to perform together in college. Yoshida's mood suddenly fell a little low, and his voice became much softer.
Seeing that the eldest lady was rarely so sad, the three male creatures were also a little embarrassed.
Yes, what a precious fate it is for everyone to be able to get together and become friends. The thought that one day in the future, everyone will eventually be like duckweed, going their separate ways, makes people pray that time can go a little slower, a little slower.
"Odada, you're so proficient in all kinds of musical instruments, why don't you always show it in front of people, maybe there will be a lot of girls in your arms. Shi Geqi squeezed his eyebrows at Tian Licheng, and did not leave the line for three sentences, and the sad atmosphere was dispelled a lot at once.
"I've been smashed by a backdrop, and I'm more or less psychologically impressed, and I'm not very happy to perform in front of people. Lao Tian had palpitations in his heart, and secretly thought: "Speaking out to scare you to death, I was not so simple as being smashed, but I was smashed to another world, okay." β
"Baga, is that such a simple reason, why don't you give me a complicated excuse to use my brain!" the eldest lady was very dissatisfied with his reason, her apricot eyes widened, and she scolded fiercely.
"Eh~ That's really the reason, nothing else. Lao Tian was stunned and replied weakly, while still looking at Yoshida with sincere and innocent eyes.
"Is that if I solved your stupid problem, you're willing to perform on stage with us?" Yoshida rolled his eyes, ignoring his cuteness.
"Eh, do you have any good ideas? I've been trying desperately to overcome it, but it didn't work at all, and now I'm scared to death when I see the backdrop. β
"It's very simple, you stand at the front of the stage and play the keyboard, and the three of us are behind you. If something really goes wrong, just smash us first, so you can give you enough time to escape. The eldest lady said her solution without thinking, as if it were a matter of course.
"Eh, yes, Miss, why is your brain so bright?" Shi Geqi involuntarily applauded: "I didn't even think of this trick, I just thought that it would be good if we didn't have a background when we performed." β
"I fully agree with Hibiscus-chan's idea. Anyway, Shi Geqi is taller than me, and if you want to smash him, you have to smash him first~" Yamamoto nodded solemnly in agreement.
"Huh, you'll all agree on that, is there a band that has the keyboard at the front of the performance? I think it's better not to have a backdrop. Tian Licheng said this, but there was a burst of warmth in his heart - this is the first time that someone other than his mother has said that even if he is injured, he must let himself be safe. These three fools still look like they should be. Well, I must have had my eyes in the sand, otherwise why would it be so sour.
"Anyway, whether you stand at the front or don't have a backdrop, you have to perform on stage with us, and you are not allowed to play tricks! This time everyone must prepare well and devote themselves to it, do you hear it!" Yoshida ordered.
"Yes, my eldest lady!" Lao Tian said with a knightly salute and a serious face.
"It's disgusting, I'm really not used to you getting serious all of a sudden. The eldest lady's face was slightly red, followed by a slender neck. She hurriedly turned her head away and said disgustedly.
"By the way, I have already submitted an application to the club yesterday, and the club said that it will arrange a 30-minute solo performance for us, which is in the big square in front of the school building. Yamamoto said, because the other three were lazy, and he could only shoulder the task of running errands as a hard-working person.
"Eh, 30 minutes, that's that long, or are we going to perform alone?" said Shi Geqi.
"Maybe the club thinks that not many people will come to see us anyway, instead of giving us ten minutes to go to the club's performance to make up the numbers, it's better to just sell face to the eldest lady. Yamamoto replied.
"Don't talk nonsense, where do I have so much ability?" The eldest lady's face showed a hint of unnaturalness, and she hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, Xiao Tiantian, what song should we sing? 30 minutes without the MC time, you can sing at least 5-6 songs." β
Tian Licheng thought for a while and said, "Don't you like Dreams come true and Fei'er Band the most?" Just choose the songs you are best at, eyes to me, decisive battle γ―ιζζ₯, love love love, go for it, Lydia, our love, so there are six songs, and these songs have been rehearsed before, with your singing ability, you will definitely surprise those guys in the club." As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh "hehe".
"You're so distracted! This is our first and probably last public performance. Why don't you have any motivation at all?Someone always says, 'Ah~~ I want to make music, and I can't participate in club activities. "Ah~~ I'm inspired.,I'm going back to writing songs right away.,That's the end of today's rehearsal.,I'm sorry.γ "It's been two years, what about someone's achievements? Do you have any decent works?" the eldest lady slapped the table hard, her eyes shining with coldness.
"Yes, yes, Odada, you didn't deliberately release our pigeons before, did you?55555, I'm so sad, I've always regarded you as a brother. Shi Geqi wiped her tears with makeup, and even Yamamoto nodded in agreement.
"But if you want to sing a new song, you have to rehearse every day, and it takes a lot of time. Lao Tian protested, he has some works, but he is too troublesome.
"The three of us are fine, we've been looking forward to it for two years, how can we not have rehearsal time in just a few days? The three protested together.
"Okay, okay, I've been defeated by you, let's take some time to gather early tomorrow. When the time comes, I'll bring two new songs, plus eyes to me, Decisive Battle γ―ιζζ₯, Lydia, Our Love, let's sing these six songs. β
"Then tomorrow at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, gather on time, don't be late, you all give me good energy!"
The preparatory meeting ended with the eldest lady's impassioned and forced concluding speech.
Tian Licheng was about to be the first to slip away, but the moment he opened the door, he suddenly remembered something, so he turned around and asked, "By the way, we always have to give the band a shiny and domineering name, do you have any suggestions?"
"I've thought about it for a long time, so let's call it My dear mates. The eldest lady blurted out that she had already thought of the name of the team.
"My dear mates? hehe, that's good, it's a big lady. The faΓ§ade is responsible, the creative is responsible, the funny is responsible, the logistics is responsible, and Dangdangdang is complete, and I raise my hands and feet in agreement. After saying that, Lao Tian fled the activity room like a gust of wind.
"This guy is really like a monkey when he slips away, as if we are going to eat him, and he actually says that I am funny, what about my talent?" Shi Geqi complained with a smile.
Yamamoto touched his nose: "I don't mind being called a logistics ......"
"He likes it anyway. The eldest lady's voice was a little lonely, and even the look in her eyes became dim.
Shi Geqi and Yamamoto glanced at each other, and had to shrug their shoulders helplessly, these two people......
