Chapter 15: The Dandelion by the Water

Cheng Xiaoyu came back from eating in the cafeteria and went to the campus store to buy a few pieces of chocolate and three bottles of soy milk. Stuffed a bottle for Wang Ou, Wang Ou took it with an inexplicable face and said I don't drink it, Cheng Xiaoyu said angrily that if you don't drink it, you have to hold it for me, Wang Ou said "oh" and followed Cheng Xiaoyu back to the classroom.

Walking past Xia Shamo's desk, Cheng Xiaoyu casually put soy milk and chocolate on the table and said, "SUMMER, yours." ”

Xia Shamo was a little surprised, and hurriedly refused, "I'm already full." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu looked embarrassed and pretended to beg, "Do me a favor, buy too much, eat as much as you want, don't be polite to me, look at Wang Dazhuang's foodie belly, I can't bear to poison him." ”

Wang Ou reacted very quickly, and immediately held up the soy milk and said, "Cheng Xiaopang, you are rebellious! I will punish you for unforgivable sins with the sword of light in the name of God! ”

Cheng Xiaoyu spread out his hands and made a gesture that was an idiot. Xia Shamo also covered her mouth and laughed. Seeing that she didn't refuse, Cheng Xiaoyu pretended to go up and mingle with Wang Ou, "Eat me a Pegasus Meteor Punch!"

"Hey, I'm "Asura and the Peacock King", what the hell is Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

"Then it's better to change the trick, Red Secret Technique, Hundred Machines Drill"

"I haven't heard of this trick. ”

"Damn, Naruto hasn't seen it, you're the second hairy!"

"I'm a senior in high school, not a secondary two. Then leaned into Cheng Xiaoyu's ear and whispered, "Hurry up and admit defeat, or I'll sue Xia Shamo, you are interesting to her!" Cheng Xiaoyu could only raise his hands speechlessly to make a surrender form, and let Wang Ou perform what he called the most gorgeous move

After school, Cheng Xiaoyu stopped Xia Shamo and took out a few pages of paper, which were full of staves and no titles. Xia Shamo glanced at it casually and said, "Why are all the lyrics in pinyin?"

Cheng Xiaoyu said indifferently: "Because it's not Chinese!"

Xia Shamo didn't ask too much, and put the score into her schoolbag, "Then I'll wait to go home and read it." I'll go first. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu said again, "Do you know who in the class can play the drums?" Xia Shamo looked at the empty seats in the middle of the front and middle row, and said, "Chen Haoran seems to know." I don't know about the rest. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, goodbye." Xia Shamo picked up her schoolbag and waved goodbye to Cheng Xiaoyu, her slender figure and slender hands looked like temple girls in Greek oil paintings.

Cheng Xiaoyu saw Xia Shamo walking away, and couldn't help waving his hand at her, and admonished, "Summer, you must watch it carefully." Xia Shamo nodded a little back. Cheng Xiaoyu seemed to be able to see her transparent and sturdy protective shell glittering in the sun.

Teacher Ji had already sent him a text message asking him to come to the school hall to help with the accompaniment, and under normal circumstances, it would not delay him for too long. Cheng Xiaoyu never thought of rejecting this music teacher who was full of sympathy for her. When he came to the small hall, Ji Xin was reading the score. Cheng Xiaoyu casually swept the name "Singing Huaxia", probably choosing a song for the choir. Ji Xin looked up and saw Cheng Xiaoyu coming, covered the score and said, "I heard that you made a bet with Li Liwei?"

Cheng Xiaoyu lowered his head and said, "There are jokes among classmates." ”

"So are you ready for the show?"

"It's a bit of an eyebrow, it's not sure yet. ”

"Hey, you, if you have any preparations, show me the performance, and I will help you guide and guide. Ji Xin didn't know Cheng Xiaoyu's specific music level, and occasionally called him over to accompani, but he played decently and without any special brilliance.

Cheng Xiaoyu also knew that Ji Xin cared about her, but he didn't feel the need for Ji Xin to open a small stove for him, and said, "Okay, Teacher Ji, when you are ready, please help me see if there are any shortcomings." ”

Ji Xin hesitated and said, "You shouldn't plan to perform piano performance, right?" Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Probably not, I'm not as good as Su Yuxi." ”

Ji Xin smiled, "Don't compare with her, she has a famous teacher's guidance, she has participated in so many competitions, it's normal to play better than you, don't be discouraged." I'm afraid that you will choose a piano performance, her piano performance is predetermined, and she will not participate in the selection. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu said calmly: "I will try my best to surpass her." ”

Ji Xin saw the confidence and firmness in Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes, and smiled with satisfaction: "I am relieved of your attitude." You go to practice, I just heard some gossip today, so I specially asked you to ask. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu was a little moved by this simple teacher. For the first time, he replied very seriously, "Teacher Ji, don't worry, I will not disappoint you." Then he bowed and turned away.

Cheng Xiaoyu has always felt that carrying hope is a particularly heavy thing. A little bit of hope can mean a lot of pressure. But hope is a wonderful word, and it also means a source of motivation and a dream at your fingertips. This time, he wants to fulfill the hopes of others and realize his once impossible dreams.

Cheng Xiaoyu practiced the piano in the piano room for two hours and began to ponder the repertoire he planned to play. This piece is very familiar to him in his previous life, and there are many versions, and what he has to do now is to synthesize several versions to make an arrangement that best suits his current embarrassing situation. The main reason is that there are too few instruments that can be matched, so that the magnificent musical background cannot be formed, and the table is not enough.

Fortunately, Xia Shamo's singing skills gave him a little confidence, otherwise he wouldn't be able to move such a song in his current situation. Cheng Xiaoyu drew staves while playing, and the whole person entered an extreme realm without distractions.

Xia Shamo's home is not so far from the school, and it takes more than 20 minutes to get home by bicycle. When I got home, Xia Shamo first washed and cut the vegetables to be eaten at night, a scrambled egg with tomatoes, a cucumber slice and so on with garlic paste, cut some minced meat and other ingredients to make a minced eggplant, scoop up the rice and add some water and put it in the rice cooker, the preparation was done, she quickly did a good job and washed her hands and went into the bedroom, usually she would start stir-frying and cooking rice when her mother was almost home.

This is a small one-bedroom house, and she is very content to have such a home of her own in Shanghai, where every inch of land is valuable. She lived in a bedroom with her mother, and her father, according to her mother, ran away with another woman before she was even born.

Xia Shamo sat at a desk full of carved patterns, which she had drawn ignorantly when she was a child, and this table had been with her for more than ten years. opened the schoolbag and took out a neat score, Xia Shamo looked at it carefully, the ink on the paper still exuded a faint luster, obviously this is a handwritten score.

After Xia Shamo read a few paragraphs casually, that little bit was inadvertent, and immediately threw it out of the clouds, straightened her upper body, and hummed softly. Then she felt a wave of heat rush from the bottom of her heart, and she had a feeling that she couldn't wait to shout loudly, and such a feeling boiled her blood. Even though she hadn't sung yet, the more she watched the score, the more she felt her scalp tingle. The notes pierced her heart like a sword out of its sheath. Xia Shamo unconsciously pinched the thin score, for fear that these few pieces of paper like cicada wings would fly away from this small room.

When sitting in the car home, Cheng Xiaoyu thought extremely sadly that what he needed most now was a synthesizer. But he didn't know where to buy this thing in Shanghai, and then he thought that he didn't know how far the space-time synthesizer had developed now, and if it was as powerful as in his previous life, it would be much easier to do work. When I opened my mobile phone, there was no Taobao in the APP, and I suddenly missed Ma Yun's father very much.

Before going to school the next day, Cheng Xiaoyu mentioned to Qiao Sansi the need for a synthesizer, but Qiao Sansi didn't know much what a synthesizer was, and asked what a synthesizer was, Cheng Xiaoyu said the English name MusicalSynthesizer, and told him that this thing was similar to a keyboard, mainly to complete the arrangement work, and could be a bandman. Qiao Sansi smiled and said That is easy to do, this thing should be available in the company, and I will help Cheng Xiaoyu get it later.

Seeing that the matter might be solved very lightly, Cheng Xiaoyu was not very happy, after all, he was not the keyboardist of the band before, and he knew nothing about the use of synthesizers, and when he was on the TV station, the synthesizers were made by another colleague.

At the moment, he is a little anxious about one thing after another, and he has to deal with Cheng Haoran, the first place in the grade, and he must find a drum kit for his tune. It is true that there is a universal synthesizer, and he can complete most of the performance work alone, but using a synthesizer to make a large number of soundtracks is a last resort after all, and most of the bands use synthesizers because they need to supplement the orchestra, reeds, pianos, etc., after all, a band cannot carry a symphony orchestra at any time. It's not impossible to let the synthesizer do the work of an entire band, the problem is that the live watch will be much worse, and that is the last choice in desperation.

In particular, rhythm is the soul of music. The drum kit is a rhythmic instrument and an emotional instrument, it can be called the core of the modern band, which is why Cheng Xiaoyu can not find any instrument, but he must find a drum kit.

The level of the band in performance is mainly reflected in the cooperation between the musicians and the performance level of the drummer. The drum kit supports the frame structure of the whole music, and if there are no drums in an electroacoustic band, it is equivalent to a person without bones. Drums not only play a stabilizing role in the orchestra in conjunction with other instruments when playing music, but also have the role of shaping, rendering, accentuating and enriching the musical image, expressing individuality and color. The drum kit is superior to other instruments in terms of rhythm, speed, dynamics, etc. In modern orchestras, the drummer has completely replaced the conductor in the symphony orchestra. This is reflected in every modern band today. When a piece of music is played, each instrument must be played to the rhythm of the drums, just as all the pieces in a symphony orchestra must follow the conductor. Therefore, the drum kit plays an irreplaceable and important position in modern bands. Moreover, the rhythm of this piece he wrote is the most important thing, and without the drums of the live table, the effect is much worse.

Cheng Xiaoyu could only silently pray that Chen Haoran, a top student, could have a superb drum level and deal with it very well, okay! Maybe he had more extravagant expectations.
