Chapter 39: The Stray Cats Part II
The girl who was "prayed" by Jiang Hanxue to talk to Ning Qingzhou was Cao Xian, who had a relationship with Ning Qingzhou in the underground passage that day, and later detonated the entire online world because of the cover of "Angel Wings" heard from Ning Qingzhou.
Jiang Hanxue's understanding of entertainment gossip was far less than that of Huang Li, so she didn't recognize Cao Xian for a while, and only felt that the red hair and the girl's temperament were a little familiar.
"This is my friend Jiang Hanxue." Ning Qingzhou introduced, and then introduced Cao Xian to Jiang Hanxue: "This is," Ning Qingzhou suddenly stopped, not knowing how to continue, he had already recognized that the girl was Cao Xian, but it seemed very strange to introduce it so abruptly, but fortunately, Cao Xian took the initiative to answer: "My name is Cao Xian." ”
Ning Qingzhou nodded and said, "Yes, her name is Cao Xian." The two girls looked at him together.
Ning Qingzhou was a little embarrassed, looked at the people who got into the car with Cao Xian, and changed the topic: "Your band? ”
Cao Xian said: "Yes, a band I just formed recently, and I have been looking for you before just to ask if you would like to come over and play together." ”
"I'm not very good at singing." Ning Qingzhou himself has formed a band, but in the face of Cao Xian and those young people who are full of rock and roll, he still decided to be modest.
Cao Xian shook his head and said: "You don't necessarily have to sing to play in a band. And although your vocal range is a little narrow, your voice is special, and the mid-bass is very recognizable, as long as you do a little professional training, broaden your vocal range, and master a little singing skills, there is no problem. ”
Jiang Hanxue asked Ning Qingzhou curiously: "Have you sung together?" ”
"Oh, on the day I went to Jian'an for the interview, didn't I buy a guitar, and when I came back, I tried the guitar in the subway passage, and then met Miss Cao."
When Jiang Hanxue heard "Jian'an" and "Miss Cao", she had a flash of inspiration, and turned her head to look at Cao Xian, her face full of disbelief, and said, "You are Cao Xian, that Cao Xian?" ”
"That Cao Xian" is, of course, the eldest lady of the Cao family who fell out with the family for love, and the "voice of the angel" who is popular all over the Internet world.
Cao Xian nodded with a smile and said, "I guess it's the one you said." ”
Jiang Hanxue said: "I said why is it so familiar, I heard the song "Angel Wings" sung on the Internet, which is very good, and many of my colleagues are also fans of your song." ”
Cao Xian laughed, then looked at Ning Qingzhou and said, "You can really calm down." ”
Ning Qingzhou said: "It's you who sing well." ”
Jiang Hanxue looked at the two of them puzzled, and Cao Xian explained to her: "I learned that song from this friend of yours. ”
"Ning Qingzhou?" Jiang Hanxue was even more puzzled, and turned her head to look at Ning Qingzhou.
"Your name is Ning Qingzhou?" Cao Xian also looked at Ning Qingzhou.
Ning Qingzhou nodded and answered two questions together.
There was a brief silence between the three of them, and then the people who got into the car with Cao Xian also walked over, and one of the boys with a long silver chain around his neck, wearing a black leather coat, and a small head glanced at Ning Qingzhou and asked Cao Xian: "Sister Xian, who is this?" The tone was quite unruly and flamboyant.
"He is the guy who sang "Angel's Wings", and I just knew the name, Ning Qingzhou."
Ning Qingzhou looked at the young people, felt a cynical and rebellious aura, and greeted with a smile: "Hello." ”
Several people looked at Ning Qingzhou scrutinically, except for the slightly thin young man standing at the back who nodded with a smile in response, the other people were expressionless and silent, looking very difficult to get along with.
Cao Xian said: "Let me introduce you." Then she pointed to the "silver chain" and said, "This is Ye Xuhuan, the drummer of the band." Then a long-haired boy: "This is Hou Lei, guitarist and bassist." ”
"This is Li Haoran, a guitarist, harmonica player, and is also responsible for the performance of some side instruments." Li Haoran is tall and handsome, and he is the sunniest looking one among the several people.
"This is our keyboardist and the main creator of the songwriter, Wang Zhongxuan, and the soul of our band." Wang Zhongxuan was the thin young man who responded to Ning Qingzhou's greeting.
When Jiang Hanxue heard Wang Zhongxuan's name, she was puzzled: "Wang Zhongxuan, this name is so familiar." ”
Cao Xiandao: "He used to be the keyboardist of the Seven Sons Band. ”
Jiang Hanxue suddenly realized and said, "I remembered, I wrote "Lao Huai" and "High-rise Building". ”
Cao Xian nodded: "That's him." ”
The Seven Sons Band is a band built by Cao Zihuan, the second son of Jian'an, and Jian'an invested a lot of resources to hold out a band, this band debuted in the Shenzhou calendar in 88 years, and it took less than two years to quickly become popular in the two sides of the strait, becoming one of the top bands in the industry, in the following years, the Seven Sons Band made persistent efforts to create a large number of popular and different styles of songs, and its popularity and influence also climbed to the peak, becoming another cash cow of Jian'an.
However, in the 97th year of the Shenzhou calendar, there was a rumor that Kong Wenju, the lead singer of the Seven Sons Band, did not agree with the other members of the band, and the news that Cao Mengde, chairman of Jian'an, slapped the table, Jian'an also came forward to refute the rumors several times at the beginning, as the rumors intensified, and finally Jian'an simply acquiesced to the news, in the second half of 97, Kong Wenju flew alone and left Jian'an, and then the remaining six members of the band opened a national tour farewell concert, and by the end of 97, the band was officially disbanded.
Ning Qingzhou once heard Chen Qianfan sing the song of the Seven Sons Band, and by the way, he checked their information on the Internet, and he knew something, so he asked Cao Xian: "Then what is the name of your current band?" ”
"Stray cats."
"Good name."
"Silver Chain" sneered, "You will say a good name for whatever we say." ”
Ning Qingzhou shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, like I personally don't like those band names that are too unconventional." ”
"That's because you're old-fashioned."
"No, novelty and remoteness are two different things, and many people confuse them."
Ye Xuhuan wanted to continue arguing, but Cao Xian dissuaded: "Okay, Huanhuan, don't fight with others when we meet for the first time." ”
Ye Xuhuan said: "That's because Sister Xian, you praised him too well, and when the real person saw it, he was inevitably a little disappointed." ”
Cao Xian smiled helplessly and explained to Ning Qingzhou: "Don't be surprised, he is like this." ”
Ning Qingzhou smiled slightly and said, "It's okay." ”
Ye Xuhuan sneered and continued: "Obviously, my heart has been beating like thunder, and I still pretend to be okay on my face, which is really hypocritical." ”
Ning Qingzhou said "ah", and then looked at Jiang Hanxue, a little crying and laughing, Cao Xian frowned, and was about to say Ye Xuhuan, when he suddenly saw Ning Qingzhou burst out, glared at Ye Xuhuan angrily, and said sharply: "You say again that I am hypocritical!" ”
Because this conversion came very abruptly, even Jiang Hanxue was taken aback, Cao Xian and Ye Xuhuan looked at Ning Qingzhou in a daze, and didn't react for a while which one the other party was playing, just now he was amiable and kind-eyed, how to say that he would turn his face, Li Haoran pulled Ye Xuhuan back, took a step forward, and looked down at Ning Qingzhou with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ning Qingzhou didn't look at Li Haoran, sat down with a smile again, and said, "Look, it's more cost-effective to jump like thunder or pretend to be fine, it's clear at a glance." ”
Several people were a little confused by Ning Qingzhou's performance, and Ye Xuhuan muttered: "God...... Ahh ”
Cao Xian didn't want the contradiction to continue to expand and extend, so he said to Ning Qingzhou: "Then let's leave a number so that we can contact you later." ”
Ning Qingzhou snorted, suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, my friend's café will open in a few days, and if you are free at that time, you can go over and cheer up." ”
"Okay." Cao Xian took out his mobile phone from his jeans pocket, changed the number with Ning Qingzhou, and then walked to the other side with the others.
"Hanxue, what's wrong with you?" Ning Qingzhou put the phone away, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Jiang Hanxue with a thoughtful expression and asked.
"You're just like that, it's scary."
Ning Qingzhou said: "I did it on purpose, don't you usually think I'm a little feminine?" I'm fully masculine, and you're not used to it again. ”
Jiang Hanxue shook her head, no longer continuing the topic, and guessed: "That boy must like Cao Xian, that's why he is hostile to you." ”
Ning Qingzhou nodded, thought about it, and said with a smile: "I think he really looks like a girl." ”
Half an hour later, when the subway arrived at Qinxi Station, Ning Qingzhou and Jiang Hanxue got off the train, but the "stray cats" also got off at the same station
