On August 10th, May arrived as scheduled, and even the agreed time with the others was two days earlier, and although she did not know where to look for them after arriving at the castle tower, as if she had a premonition, she came to the Tenjo in the center of the city and found Mansion No. 3 in the deep alley.

With the membership card given to her by the owner of the Beijing Mansion, she also entered the mansion smoothly as a guest, and it was thirteen o'clock in the afternoon, and there were no guests in the mansion.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting~" After watching the complete singing of a new song by the four girls on the stage, May walked out of the darkness on the side and walked to the front of the stage.

Although it was the first time to meet Xiao Tunan, she probably guessed her relationship with Xiao Yufei from her appearance, they had already gotten to know each other at the same table with Zhang Jing that day, and Yu Fei and Lin Qing were sitting in a conspicuous position in the mansion that day, and she looked a little familiar

Seeing May's sudden appearance, the four girls all showed different expressions on their faces, but in the end they all turned into smiles: "It's good to come, there are still more than two weeks, it should be enough for us to practice." ”

May nodded, and with a smile, she replaced Sister Hua to find the drummer from FID and sat next to the fourth girl.

There was a sheet music in front of her, and everyone had said that she should familiarize herself with it first, but after a few seconds she said, "Let's try it?"

The women were a little incredulous, from getting the score to now, the time should only be enough for an ordinary person to watch it once, even if she had heard it once before and had an impression in the audience, it wouldn't be so fast.

Although they were puzzled, none of the four of them spoke casually, they looked at each other, and then nodded.

Zhang Jing's keyboard is the prelude to the main melody, and after completing two eight beats, Tu Nan's guitar and Yu Fei's harmony are added, and at the end of the first eight beats after the two guitars join, the drum beats sound.

"It's hard at the beginning

But failure only made me more frustrated

Get up and take on the challenge again

The journey of chasing dreams never stops

As long as we have courage, we will be free enough

In this way, you can get over the storm

As long as we have courage, we will be free enough

I will be able to move mountains and seas and overcome all difficulties."

Lin Qing's clear voice was added at the right time, and the drumbeat in the soft melody, with the lyrics performed by her voice, was like a thunderbolt that pierced through the dark confinement room, and like a spring rain that penetrated through the broken window.

"Everything in the world flows past us, and I am by your side

Until dreams come true, everything goes well

I'll fight to the end no matter what

As long as we have courage, we will be free enough

I can't wait to see our names shine in the light

I know it's a long, long road

But I'm going to make it happen

The journey of chasing dreams never stops. ”

In the middle of the song, the girls were keenly aware of some differences from the previous rehearsals, and the May drum beat was not played exactly according to the score, but the changes she made were not abrupt at all, and even made the girls feel more in line with the mood of the song at that time.

"As long as we're there for each other all the time

We will be able to get past the storm

You're the ones who make me more perfect

As long as we have courage, we will be free enough

I will move mountains and seas, and I will overcome all difficulties

Everything in the world flows past us, and I am by your side

Until dreams come true, everything goes well

I'll fight to the end anyway..."

Bang bang bang

There was a long-lasting applause in the Miyoshi Mansion, although it was not loud or dense, but it was completely different from the feeling brought by the previous days.

Shang Hu Cai, who was on the corner of the second floor, looked at the five girls on the stage, and his eyes were full of the appearance of Sister Hua and a singer on the stage thirteen years ago, and his eyes were moist.

Suddenly, her hand was held by a gentle hand, Shang Hu Cai turned around, saw the face in his mind, and was just about to open his mouth but was interrupted by Sister Hua: "I know, I also saw it... Although this May is not a stranger, she is surprisingly suitable, and I am sure that this concert will go smoothly because they are freedom and courage. ”

The applause finally stopped, and several regular customers who had been buying in the mansion until late at night from the afternoon seemed to be inspired by the previous song, drank all the glasses in their hands, and then rubbed their slightly alcoholic faces, and then left.

"I've never denied the existence of genius, after all, a lot of times we're what other people call geniuses, but when it comes to music, you're the real genius. Zhang Jing and the Xiao sisters turned their heads and looked at May in admiration.

"It's hard to believe that this is the first time you've officially played this song, did you improvise those speed-ups and drum beats?" Xiao Yufei, who was in charge of the song, asked in surprise.

May seemed to be a little unaccustomed to their hot eyes, and nodded a little embarrassedly: "I noticed these places when I was listening to them in the audience just now, if you don't like it, I'll follow the score." ”

Lin Ziyue didn't make it clear last time, you still have such a strong arranging ability, if you feel that there are other parts that need to be changed, you can also say them together. "After all, it's my own work, and I've rehearsed it countless times in my head, and sometimes after being too familiar with it, I can't find the shortcomings that may be obvious in the eyes of others.

May looked at Xiao Yufei's eyes, smiled, and then picked up the music score in front of the women: "Since this is the case, I'm welcome, first of all, Zhang Jing's main theme part..."

The five of them gathered together, and May said what she thought could be better in the whole piece, and the other four were silent or gave other opinions, but the only thing that remained constant was that their eyes were shining with heart-warming light.

The concert is expected to last for 70 minutes, and a total of nine songs will be sung, including interludes, transitions, and five people changing costumes, among which "Courage and Freedom" is the absolute core of the whole concert. In just one afternoon, May re-adjusted all nine songs from the perspective of a first-time listener, which of course made her admire Xiao Yufei who composed the music and Sister Hua and Sister Cai, who wrote the lyrics.

The five of them did not perform in Mansion No. 3 that night, but each went back to familiarize themselves with the revised score, and although May was arranged by Sister Hua to live, she did not leave the mansion.

In a private box on the second floor of the mansion, Sister Hua sat opposite May, and there was a wine table between the two, on which were placed a few empty glasses that had been drunk.

"First time I met Miss May, I am the owner of this mansion, and I am also the director of FID, the leader of this end-of-summer concert, you can call me Grimmiri or Katsuragi Hana. Sister Hua looked at May and couldn't see her face, but if someone who knew her well was present, she could hear the vigilance in her voice.

"I've just seen you and

Yu Fei Tu Nan and the music scores they revised together, I have to say that you have a natural sense of smell for music, and you are very professional. Saying this, Sister Hua's eyes narrowed: "But it is such a professional knowledge of music theory, but I can't find any record of your enrollment in the terminal college, can you tell me what's going on? Could it be that these things are self-taught by you?"

Sister Hua sent someone to check her after Shang Hu Cai came back from Beijing, not to mention the learning records of the terminal college, and even she didn't have any records, as if it had never existed.

She had nothing but a name, no shopping records, no travel records, no trace of her family or her past.

Looking at Sister Hua's almost perfect face under the not-so-bright box light, May didn't care at all about her cold tone when she spoke: "If you find anything about me, you can also trouble me to tell me, in fact, I want to know very much." ”

Sister Hua frowned, thinking that she was provoking, but then May continued to speak: "It seems that Lin Ziyue didn't tell you about my illness, in fact, it doesn't hurt for you to know, I suffer from an extremely rare disease, and I will lose part of my memory from time to time, so I also want to know the questions you asked." ”

"As for the music theory you mentioned, I have the impression that my mother taught me when I was very young. Speaking of her mother, May's eyes darkened a little: "I just remember that my mother gave me a lot of things when I was a teenager, but you asked me to tell me exactly what I didn't say, but only remembered that I knew when I needed it." ”

Seeing May's expression didn't look like she was lying, and she mentioned Lin Ziyue, Sister Hua knew that she could find Lin Ziyue to verify afterwards, but Sister Hua didn't know that Lin Ziyue and May had only met twice before that.

"Sorry to remind you of the past. Sister Hua drank all the glass of wine before getting up and apologized. May smiled and shook her head, indicating that she didn't take it to heart.

Since then, Sister Hua has chatted with her a lot with her intuition, from the rivers and mountains of the earth and stars, to the human feelings of Mars, from music, film and television, to religious beliefs. No matter what kind of topic Sister Hua throws up, May seems to be able to talk to her very happily, although it is not said that she knows everything, but Sister Hua can be sure that May has quite a wealth of experience, if it weren't for her appearance is only twenty years old, and her behavior and speech are unique to people of this age, Sister Hua will even think that she is the same age as herself.

It was getting late, and it seemed that he had learned the news of May's arrival from the Xiao family sisters, and Lin Ziyue also came to the mansion, but he didn't come alone, but somehow brought Zhang Jing with him.

Goodbye May, Lin Ziyue is much calmer than the last time he was in Beijing, probably because of the presence of Sister Hua, he didn't show too much of his emotions, and after drinking a drink with her, Zhang Jing snatched May away and pulled him aside to speak, and Lin Ziyue also took out the mimicry board from the bracelet, and discussed the stage effect with Sister Hua on this premise.

Because of the matter of Xiaoshi a month ago, today's FID and the Association of Strangers have torn their faces, not to mention the task issued in the association, as long as the association does not take the initiative to provoke, it is not bad.

A few days ago, Tu Nan and Yu Fei had told their family about their concert, although their father was still furious when he first heard about it, but when he heard that his daughter needed help, he agreed without hesitation, and took all the funds and material consumption of this concert.

As for the security, because it was impossible to issue a mission in the Association of Strangers, Sister Hua had to let her Xiaoliu and the Tianshu who had not participated in the performance be responsible, but Zhang Jing and Lin Qing said that they could call some classmates in Cangjie and Sijing, which made everyone have no worries.
