It is rare that Cheng Xiaoyu arrived the earliest before everyone for the first time, only Huang Yong and two waiters were in the bar, Cheng Xiaoyu went in and sat at the bar with Huang Yong to chat, it didn't take long for Xia Shamo and Chen Haoran to arrive, the farthest is Wang Ou, it is estimated that it will have to wait for a while, but it doesn't matter if Wang Ou can't get to the rehearsal, when Cheng Xiaoyu walked towards the basement, he remembered that Wang Ou has been practicing guitar for almost a year, and he is still practicing bass under Cheng Xiaoyu's construction during the summer vacation.

The three of them walked down the basement, Xia Shamo told Cheng Xiaoyu that the SH Campus Top Ten Singers Competition should sing two songs, the first is a qualifying competition to determine whether they can enter the top ten, and the second is the final, where the top ten singers compete for the first place. And the second final will be broadcast live on the SH Urban Channel, although the SH Urban Channel is really not a high-rated channel, but it is better than nothing, and for Cheng Xiaoyu, this is also the first time he has been on TV, and it is also the first time that the Crown of Sin has been on TV.

Cheng Xiaoyu finally wrote an English song to Xia Shamo, in order to ensure that he entered the Youth Song Competition, Cheng Xiaoyu still chose the song he felt he was most sure of, but even if it was a pop group competition, it was relatively exclusive to rock and too popular music.

Cheng Xiaoyu's song this time is a difficult song that is easy to control by a giant lung-type female master, and it is a big test for Xia Shamo, although she is very thin and lacks exercise, but the relationship between lung capacity and weight and exercise is not so direct, on the contrary, the lung capacity of people with tall skeletons will be very high, so Xia Shamo's lung capacity is not small, and she is very talented in controlling and grasping the breath. The original singer is also a super-first-class singer, although Xia Shamo's timbre is not so mellow compared to the original singer due to ethnic reasons, but in fact, the two of them have the same vocal characteristics, pure and high, and some correct pronunciation methods should be able to correct some deficiencies.

Chen Haoran took Cheng Xiaoyu to write a drum score, and the three of them went through it together first, and the high-pitched table Xiàn Xia Shamo was better than Cheng Xiaoyu imagined, very transparent. But the appeal of the bass is much worse, which is also caused by congenital reasons, and Asians are indeed not as good at singing as blacks.

After lining up a few more times, when Wang Ou arrived, Cheng Xiaoyu beckoned the four of them to go out and eat something casually. Then rehearsals continued. Wang Ou looked a little lonely practicing the bass alone on the side, Cheng Xiaoyu felt that he was really a little irresponsible, although he didn't have the head and captain in the band, in fact, he was the backbone, and everything was up to him. He didn't call Wang Ou to rehearse with them, and no one would speak, and as a well-known band, their rehearsals were too few. Cheng Xiaoyu felt a little guilty, he made up for Xia Shamo but ignored Chen Haoran and Wang Ou.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Jinglong came down and asked Cheng Xiaoyu if he was interested in singing two songs in the bar, Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Wang Ou and asked, "Da Zhuang, do you want to go on stage to feel it?"

Wang Ou sat on the sofa and played with the bass strings, pointed his finger at his nose and said, "Chubby." Are you asking me?"

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded.

Wang Ou said with some skepticism: "Can I?"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "If you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in us!"

Wang Ou's eyes showed a lot of expectation and apprehension, and he didn't speak.

Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head to Chen Jinglong and said, "Brother Chen, then sing two songs." ”

Waiting for Chen Jinglong to go up, Cheng Xiaoyu asked, "Da Zhuang, now you have practiced well on the bass of your songs." ”

Wang Ou was a little excited and said, "Bass's words, "Brave" and "Hypnosis" have been practiced for a long time in Chinese, and a few heavy metal songs in English have just started to practice, and the difficulty is relatively high, so I am not familiar with the practice. "Speaking of which, Wang Ou has been practicing guitar for almost a year, and now he is practicing bass and guitar together, but he is mainly practicing bass.

Cheng Xiaoyu thought about it and wrote the bass scores of the two songs that Wang Ou said to Wang Ou. This is his simplified score, which is not difficult to melodize, Cheng Xiaoyu called Wang Ou to come and stand in the middle of the band, and asked him to follow the band.

Cheng Xiaoyu's temporary arrangement of the tune did not give Wang Ou multiple tasks. Relatively speaking, you don't need any skills, as long as you can keep up with the rhythm of the drums, you won't go wrong. But after all, it was the first time he cooperated with the band, and even the rehearsal seemed more excited and nervous, so the first time, Wang Ou's rhythm was basically chaotic, but fortunately, Cheng Xiaoyu and Chen Haoran were high enough. I completely mastered the rhythm, so at first glance it sounded pretty passable.

After the first pass, although such a cooperation is really tragic for Cheng Xiaoyu's level, he looked at Wang Ou's red face and smiled and encouraged, "It's not bad, come on, it's much better than I thought." We're lining up a few times, and we'll be on the field later. "Anyway, it's just a bar performance, nothing important, Cheng Xiaoyu always wants Wang Ou to accumulate some experience.

Wang Ou asked a little incredulously, "Can I really go on the show?"

Cheng Xiaoyu patted Wang Ou's shoulder and said very easily, "What's not to be on? With me and Haoran here, it will be more difficult for you to mess up the performance." ”

Chen Haoran and Xia Shamo also encouraged Wang Ou, which made Wang Ou a little more confident.

A few people and a few more times, although Wang Ou has a lot of flaws, but he can't hear it if he is not a professional. Cheng Xiaoyu felt that the requirements for Wang Ou should not be too high, although Cheng Xiaoyu also wrote scores for him, but practicing by himself and the band is another matter.

After taking the stage, Cheng Xiaoyu's important role as a strong keyboardist at this time was reflected, completely covering up Wang Ou's shortcomings, because the keyboard and bass are all bedding strings, Cheng Xiaoyu took on the mission of checking and filling in the gaps, and the two songs that he sang should be Cheng Xiaoyu's personal show to be precise, but unfortunately there are few people in the bar who really understand music, and look at the "Guilty Crown" On stage, Xia Shamo, who was standing at the front, wore jeans and a white knitted sweater without powder, everyone was already fascinated, who still paid attention to listening to music. Even if Cheng Xiaoyu is showing off the "pitch bending wheel" and improvised in the performance, it is just a pearl and no one appreciates it.

And the two songs "Crown of Sin" made the "Forest of Lights" explode, after all, the fame is not what it used to be. The roses of the "Forest of Lights" were once again out of stock, and when the four of them stepped down, Encore was unconscious. Cheng Xiaoyu thought to himself that it wasn't a concert encore, so he got off the stage, Wang Ou was still excited, he felt the joy of the performance for the first time, but unfortunately only two songs were lined up just now.

But even though the "Guilty Crown" was resolute, the audience did not stop their calling, and the loud noise was drowned out by the sound of the stereo's music. In desperation, Chen Jinglong could only invite Cheng Xiaoyu and them to perform two more songs on stage, and he said to Cheng Xiaoyu with embarrassment: "Many old guests say that if the Crown of Sin is not performing two songs, they will not come in the future." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, there are not many songs, this time he already has a bottom on Wang Ou's level, and it is okay for him to play a simple harmony and rotation with the rhythm, so they went up to perform two more songs, the applause and cheers almost overturned the roof, after singing, when Xia Shamo got off the stage, they all rushed up to ask for autographs and group photos, Xia Shamo smiled and no one refused, which delayed a lot of time.

Several people made an appointment to continue rehearsals tomorrow afternoon, Chen Haoran stayed in the bar, Xia Shamo rode a bicycle and left first, and when Cheng Xiaoyu and Wang Ou were left, he looked at Wang Ou's face with a happy flush and said, "Wait until I go back, I will send you the bass score of the song sung in the competition, you can be more familiar." Even in the competition, Cheng Xiaoyu feels that his level is enough to make up for Wang Ou's shortcomings, so he plans to bring him, and stage experience is also very important for a band member.

Wang Ou nodded happily with a happy face, and now he felt that he had finally become a member of the real "Crown of Sin", which gave him a great sense of honor. Although Cheng Xiaoyu and they all recognized him before, he couldn't perform on stage after all, saying that he was from the "Guilty Crown" band, he felt that he had no confidence at all, although there were many people in the school class who liked "Guilty Crown", and he was also proud of it, but he always felt that he was free from the band, he could be proud, but he could not share the glory.

Now that he can finally say that he is a member of the band, Wang Ou is a little lucky, fortunately they did not give up on him, fortunately he did not give up. At this moment, his heart was full of emotion, and when he was leaving, Wang Ou took the initiative to hug Cheng Xiaoyu and said "thank you" in his ear, Cheng Xiaoyu heard his voice a little stalked.

Cheng Xiaoyu pretended to be buried and pushed Wang Ou away and said, "Damn, don't be so hypocritical, okay! You should send a T video at night to thank me."

Wang Ou stretched out his hand and hammered Cheng Xiaoyu's chest and said, "I'll send you a better one today, a collection of books that I have collected for many years." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded.

Wang Ou walked towards the subway station, where the white street lamps and yellowed canopy of sycamore trees in October were pieced together to create the warmth of the harvest, a season of accumulated efforts to obtain a good harvest.

Although the basis of friendship is equality, although there is a huge gap between Cheng Xiaoyu and them in terms of talent and family background, Cheng Xiaoyu's gentleness lies in the fact that he never needs anyone to look at his face, he never needs anyone to please him, he never needs anyone to deliberately keep in touch with him, he never feels that he needs to do a lot of things to maintain a friendship, it can be called friendship, it is just friendship.

For him, pretending to be happy by relying on boring communication is simply a kind of hypocritical self-satisfaction, which is deception and an evil that should be spurned.

Friendship should be like a conversation around the stove in winter, passed in light and heat, grown in a smile without scruples, and brought tears to people's eyes in a few words.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Wang Ou's moonlight and the two backs under the light and shouted, "Da Zhuang! We said okay! The 'Guilty Crown' will always be together, no matter who is missing, we are not the 'Guilty Crown' anymore." ”

Wang Ou turned around, he didn't hear what Cheng Xiaoyu said clearly, stood at the entrance of the subway, and just waved goodbye.

Cheng Xiaoyu also waved.
