Chapter 14: Get Up
Red Light Bar
Cheng Nuo, dressed in black and wearing a peaked cap, appeared at the door of the bar in a very low-key manner. A man behind him, also wearing a black hat, looked at the huge poster at the door of the bar and said with a smile: "Bomb band? Hehe, kind of interesting. β
The two walked in with a smile and found an inconspicuous corner to sit down. After a while, the bar owner walked towards the two with a drink, hugged Cheng Nuo, and shook hands with the man.
Cheng Nuo said: "I haven't been here for a long time, your business is good." β
"What's the matter, business hasn't been doing well lately. That is, there are quite a lot of people today, and they are all performed for the band. Xiao Nuo, don't say it, Xiao Yan and their band are very popular, and these bars around them are scrambling to let them perform, that is, we have a good relationship, Xiao Yan agreed to come to me because of your face. Li Mao Chong Cheng Nuo praised Cheng Yan vigorously.
Cheng Nuo smiled: "Don't praise him, just his level, it's far behind." β
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and seeing that there were more and more guests, Li Mao got up: "I'm going to entertain guests." You can do whatever you want, Xiaonuo, and put it on my account. β
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you, you can hurry up." Cheng Nuo waved at him.
Lu Chenxi was dragged into the red light bar by Tian Lu in a daze, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I really don't understand, we work in the bar every day, why do we have to come to suffer after a day off, and we still run so far away." β
Tian Lu snorted angrily and dragged her inside, while saying, "Can that be the same?" I went to the ROSE bar to work and earn money, and of course I came here to play. I heard that there was a show here tonight, and I didn't have the money to go to the concert, so I had to run here to have a good time. β
Lu Chenxi went in and saw that the bar was already crowded, and suddenly sobered up a lot: "Wow, there are so many people." β
While looking for a vacant seat inside, he said to Tian Lu: "What's so nice about the concert, every time I stand in the back, I can't even see the singer's appearance clearly, I think this kind of small performance is very good." Besides, the masters are all among the people, and they sing very well, maybe these bands will become popular one day. β
Tian Lu snorted for a while, disagreeing at all.
Cheng Nuo chatted with the man for a while, and when he heard a commotion at the door of the bar, Cheng Nuo smiled at the man: "It's here." β
The bomb band led by Cheng Yan made a shining debut, and the bar burst into jubilation. Cheng Yan carried the guitar on his back, greeted everyone with a light smile, and led the members of the band to move all the instruments up and began to tune and audition.
Lu Chenxi looked at the people on the stage and was stunned: "It's actually him?" β
"What's wrong? Do you know each other? Tian Lu asked in surprise.
"Oh, yes." Lu Chenxi said vaguely.
After a while, Lu Sheng, Anxin, Jin Che and others arrived one after another.
Tian Lu patted Lu Chenxi excitedly with a sharp voice: "Hey, Chenxi, isn't that Jin Che, look......"
"Oops, I see." Lu Chenxi knocked down her hand, not excited at all.
"Hey, your little junior brother, do you want to go up and say hello?"
"What kind of greetings, people are sitting in VIP seats, besides, there are so many people, can you squeeze through?" Lu Chenxi poured cold water on it, and Tian Lu suddenly wilted.
Cheng Nuo said to the man, "Teacher Zheng, they still have to sing your song tonight." β
"Oh, really?" The man smiled slightly, "Which one?" β
"Elopement."
"Oh." The man nodded.
Look around with peace of mind, probe your brain.
Lu Sheng asked, "What are you looking for?" β
"Sister Nuo, didn't Xiao Yan say that Sister Nuo agreed to come over, why didn't I see it?"
"You're stupid, even if she comes, you can't sit here, in case she is photographed by the paparazzi, she will have news again. I guess she can't figure out where she's cowering right now. Lu Sheng analyzed.
An Xin nodded approvingly, but looked into the corner without giving up.
"Hey, don't you think that person looks like Sister Nuo?" Anxin pounded Lu Sheng and motioned him to look at the corner.
Lu Sheng grinned and covered his beaten arm, and looked in the direction of Anxin's finger.
Cheng Nuo beckoned to the two of them, but the two of them asked in unison, "Who is that next to you?" β
"Who do you ask me?" The two looked at each other, and they spoke in unison, and couldn't help but roll each other's eyes.
"Oh, what are you doing, sit down, it's about to begin." Jin Che shouted.
As soon as the lights of the bar dimmed, the audience fell silent, and there was a sudden silence around them, and they all waited with bated breath.
Suddenly, the lights on the stage flashed, and a clear, high-pitched voice resounded throughout the bar.
βAreyouready?β The Bomb Band was ready, Cheng Yan stood in front of him, holding his guitar and yelling at the audience.
"Oh......" The audience responded, and the applause and cheers rose higher and higher.
Cheng Nuo and the man looked at each other and smiled, "Fan Er has quite enough." Not bad. The man laughed.
The Bomb Band was started by Cheng Yan and a few music-loving classmates when he was in high school, initially just for fun. Young people, who doesn't pursue excitement and freedom?
The lead singer Cheng Yan is also in charge of the guitar, drummer Liu Wei, bassist Li Wei, and keyboardist A Paul, several like-minded people like to play music, so they simply formed a band.
Although several people now go their separate ways, go to school, and work, they often get together to put on a show or something, not for fame, not for profit, just for that little bit of youthful feeling, young dreams.
After singing a few of the band's own songs, Cheng Yan paused a little, and said to the stage into the microphone: "Thank you for your support tonight, your support has always been the driving force for the bomb band to continue to stick to music." Today's performance is to celebrate my good friend's farewell, to celebrate that she can finally leave Beijing to go to Shanghai to harm the people of Shanghai, and to celebrate that I will not have to be devastated by her for a long time to come, and thank her for her great kindness. β
There was a burst of laughter and applause from the audience. Anxin looked at Cheng Yan with shame, and scolded in his heart: Stinky boy, save face for you in front of everyone, and see how you will be cleaned up.
"The next song is Teacher Zheng Jun's "Elopement", I haven't sung it for a long time, I give it to everyone, I hope you like it." Cheng Yan tuned the tune.
The audience applauded again. Zheng Jun looked at Cheng Yan on the stage with interest.
"Dedicate your youth to the one behind you
Splendid city
For this sweet dream
We pay the price
Leave love to the most sincere girl around me
You sing with me
Wander with me
Accompany me to lose both
Until now
It dawned on me
I've dreamed of it
It's true love and freedom."
After the music was paused, the applause from the audience sounded again, Cheng Yan made a gesture, motioned for everyone to sing together, took off the microphone by himself, and jumped up:"
I want to take you on an elopement
Run to the farthest towns
I want to take you on an elopement
Be the happiest person possible
I want to take you on an elopement
Run to the farthest towns
I want to take you on an elopement
Be the happiest person possible
I want to take you on an elopement
I want to take you on an elopement
I want to take you on an elopement
I want to take you on an elopement
elopement, elopement, elopement"
The audience stood up and sang along with Cheng Yan, and the atmosphere entered the most **, extremely jubilant and lively.
Cheng Nuo and Teacher Zheng also got up and echoed with a beat.
"Is he your brother?" Teacher Zheng approached Cheng Nuo and asked.
Cheng Nuo nodded, "yes, how is it?" Not bad, right? β
Teacher Zheng laughed haha: "Pretty good." Seeing them reminds me of when I was younger, enthusiastic, unrestrained, and had an inexplicable impulse for music. β
Anxin was excited and tears were about to overflow, being with Cheng Yan always made her feel full of passion and hope for life, at this moment she felt full of happiness, looking at the forgetful Cheng Yan singing on stage, she thought that even if we are about to separate, even if you can't be with me for a long time, thinking of tonight, I can stand the days without you.
Lu Chenxi quietly looked at Cheng Yan who was shining with dazzling light on the stage, his unrestrained and youthful atmosphere deeply attracted Lu Chenxi, making her seem to see herself in her heart, and she yearned for this feeling of freedom.
Tian Lu screamed constantly: "Chenxi, I really want to elope with him......"
Yes, a big smile bloomed on Lu Chenxi's face.
At the end of the performance, Cheng Yan brought the band members over to see Cheng Nuo, and asked for credit from afar: "Sister, how are we performing?" β
Cheng Nuo greeted Paul and them one by one, and encouraged: "Great, I'm proud of you." Paul, they scratched their heads in embarrassment.
An Xin suddenly covered his mouth and exclaimed in disbelief: "Oh my God, you are Zheng ......"
The man smiled and smiled at Cheng Nuo: "Don't introduce me to you?" β
"Look at me, patronizing and glad. This is Teacher Zheng, this is my brother, Cheng Yan, my sister is at ease. This is Li Wei, A Paul, Liu Wei. β
"Hello Mr. Zheng." The three of them suddenly turned into little fans and excitedly shook hands with the man one by one.
"Hello." The man responded to them very kindly. "Great, you're all amazing."
Cheng Yan looked at Cheng Nuo dissatisfied, and shouted, "Sister, you are too uninteresting, you don't even say anything in advance if Teacher Zheng wants to come." Wow, no wonder you asked me to sing "elopement", in front of Mr. Zheng, we are simply playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong. β
The other three members of the band chimed in: "That's it." β
"No, no, no. You performed very well and sang very well. Cheng Nuo praised you in front of me vigorously, which tickled my heart, so she asked her to bring me here, which seemed to be worth the trip. Teacher Zheng smiled.
