When Xia Shamo arrived home, her mother, Ms. Xia Lan, was sitting on the sofa in the small living room watching TV, and the TV was playing a funny soap opera at eight o'clock.

When she was changing her shoes in the hallway, Xia Lan spoke, "Why did you come back so late today?"

Xia Shamo hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously, "I'm going to attend a music festival the day after tomorrow, and I'm going to the stage today." ”

Xia Lan frowned and said, "Music festival, what music festival, didn't you go to the bar to sing, why are you still in the band?"

Xia Shamo put on slippers, went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, and then said, "SH Midi Music Festival, I've been practicing, Cheng Xiaoyu went to Beijing some time ago, and only came back, so I have been lining up more recently." ”

"Don't do things that don't work, you're going to college right away, and focus on your studies. And who drove you back that night?" Xia Lan turned down the sound of the TV and said to Xia Shamo sternly.

Xia Shamo: "Ah." I didn't expect this mother to know, but she thought it was nothing, and said, "Cheng Xiaoyu sent me back." ”

"His family is very rich, he drives sports cars, and the neighbors think you have found a rich second-generation boyfriend!"

Xia Shamo was silent for a while, what does it matter if you have money as a friend and don't have money? So she said very seriously, "It's very rich, but he's not a gentleman." And we're just good friends. ”

Xia Lan took out a stack of newspapers from under the coffee table, pointed at it and said, "This is not a gentleman? In your class, you have the lowest grades and often skip class, what else should you do? You told me last time that he had good grades? Are you in a relationship with him, I tell you that people like you are not good people, and you should have less contact with him in the future." You won't be allowed to go out tomorrow. ”

Xia Shamo's face was flushed, and the boiling water in the cup in her hand rippled, and she said softly, "Mom, that's because you misunderstood him, he had just transferred from the United States at that time, and he was not used to it." He was admitted to the college entrance examination this year! Besides, he and I are really just good friends. I've got to go out tomorrow and I'm going to rehearse when I've made an appointment. ”

Xia Lan sneered and said, "The score line for the drama is not high, and it is not strange to have a background in the exam." Anyway, you listen to the damn and don't associate with him. Rich people don't have many good things. As for your band, you're out of it. ”

Xia Shamo didn't say much, she walked directly into the bedroom, and when she was lying on the bed, her eyes were red.

Lay down for a while. Feeling still sad, she got up again, picked up the guitar and began to play it gently, playing the song "Snail" he wrote.

In the past, she would play guzheng when she was in a bad mood, but now she thinks that playing the guitar is also a good choice. Music doesn't just give her peace of mind, but most importantly gives her a little place to hide.

Xia Shamo didn't talk to her mother that night and slept early.

The next day, when her mother went to work, Xia Shamo got down the bowl of noodles by herself, cleaned up after eating, and went to the Forest of Lights, which was the first time she disobeyed her mother's will, but she wanted to wait until her mother came back before she got off work. Just don't get discovered.

She rode her orange bicycle towards the Forest of Lights, her heart beating fast, and the cool morning breeze on her face gave her a sense of freedom from her confinement.

The eyes of the pedestrians on the road were attracted by this elf-like girl, she rode a bicycle like the wind and swept softly, waking up the green branches that were still sleeping, waking up the pink buds that had not yet opened, and waking up the pigeons that were still napping on the wires, so she fell into everyone's eyes, and gently woke up everyone's eyes.

Xia Shamo was a little out of breath and parked her bicycle at the gate of the Lighting Forest. At this time, Chen Haoran had already opened the door, she skillfully went to the kitchen to boil a kettle of water, took a broom and a dustpan to sweep the basement first, and then wiped the floor clean with a mop. Finally, I wiped aside every instrument that was placed in the corner. Back in the kitchen, soak the boiling kettle in the cold water sink to cool down.

At this time, Chen Haoran has already begun to practice the drum kit, Wang Ou will be there soon, and Wang Ou has also made rapid progress under the careful guidance of Cheng Xiaoyu in the past few days. When the water is almost cold, Xiaoyu will be almost there, Xia Shamo thought silently. Picking up the tray and holding four cups, he walked towards the basement with the kettle.

When Cheng Xiaoyu arrived, he habitually took a sip of lukewarm water from the small coffee table in front of the sofa, he knew that the cup on the far left was his, and SUMMER bought four different cups, a cute cartoon ceramic cup for only two yuan a piece, and his cup had a blue bottom and was inlaid with yellow stars.

As soon as Cheng Xiaoyu arrived, it meant that the rehearsal began, and the three of them didn't talk much and began to practice over and over again. After practicing a song, Cheng Xiaoyu would stop and tell Xia Shamo and Chen Haoran that place was not in place, what else to pay attention to, and what to do better. This allows the two of them to know what aspects they should strengthen and consolidate, and they have a deeper understanding of the music. Because of Cheng Xiaoyu's cheating device-like deposit, the level of the two of them has improved very quickly.

At lunchtime, Wang Ou said with a sad face, "Your level is so high, I will be able to catch up that day." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu put the chopsticks on the bowl and said with a smile, "Take your time, don't rush, what you have learned now is just some simple chords or some broken chords and rhythms and the like." You have to practice the guitar scales in all keys for a long time. Then there's the question of rhythm. This is also a problem faced by many novices, sometimes it feels simple when an individual plays and sings by himself, and once he adds a rhythm, it will be messed up, and you buy a metronome. Practice more rhythm and practice more basic skills. If you feel that these two basic problems have been solved, you can join in. As long as you don't give up, there's always a spot here that will be reserved for you. ”

Wang Ou shook his head and said, "Actually, you don't have to be added, I don't want to be a burden, if you have the right candidate, you must be invited, the team is the most important." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu ate the vegetables in his mouth, and said vaguely, "There is no one more suitable than you, so come on! ”

Xia Shamo held the chopsticks and nodded.

Chen Haoran said coldly, "The three gods have one leg, are you still afraid that they won't be able to take you?"

Wang Ou smirked and said, "Just say this to you, I made the ice cream in the afternoon." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I want to eat two, one for chocolate, one for matcha, one for cones, one for sorbet, one for Fierce Bull, and one for Ili."

Wang Ou asked again, "Then should we go to the music festival today?"

Cheng Xiaoyu said, "It doesn't matter, it's good to go and see what level it is, it's not bad to feel the rock culture of China, anyway, our rehearsals are almost the same." ”

Chen Haoran nodded.

Xia Shamo said embarrassedly, "I won't go to the music festival, I have to go home early today." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Oh. I didn't ask why, I said, "It's okay not to go, anyway, I estimate the level of Chinese rock and roll to be like that, it's nothing to look at!"

Xia Shamo burst out laughing and said, "Cheng Xiaoyu, I found that you are becoming more and more flamboyant now, not sincere at all, you can go if you want." I just have something to do to go back early, don't worry about me. ”

Wang Ou shook his head and said to Xia Shamo, "That's not interesting, if you want to go, you can go together, if you don't go, you won't go, anyway, you have to see the same tomorrow, it doesn't matter!"

Chen Haoran continued to nod.

"Then we will continue to rehearse in the afternoon, and we must let everyone know tomorrow what is called rock and roll, and what is called the crown of sin," Cheng Xiaoyu slapped the table domineeringly and said. (To be continued.) )
