At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Yui Tsukishima pondered for three seconds, then shook her head and sighed:

"I suggest asking about tonics. Of course, if you really enjoy being ignored, then you can ask every time..."

"Is that so...!"

"Hmm... Speaking of which, Aya. Why was it that when I visited your house last time, the top page of your autograph book... had a lot of... uh, not-so-clean watermarks on it?"

Did you accidentally throw it into the washing machine?

……

……

Chapter 138 Today I will definitely eat you.

"Yes."

"I sneezed and accidentally sprayed it on."

Ling Yao treated Yui like she was actually Li Ji.

When she lies, her face doesn't turn red or white.

Yui's rank is certainly no lower than hers. If Lingyao is a beginner at the third or fourth rank, then Yui has at least reached the sixth rank. She is definitely not someone who can be easily fooled.

In Tianhai City, dating tips for teenage girls have been categorized into different levels using their own circle of knowledge.

They are collectively referred to as "fixed numbers".

For example, the fixed number of the "Star Heart Method" is 1.1, which means that even if you master this secret manual, you can only reach the first level of love.

The starting values ​​for "The Way of the Spirit" and "Whispers of the Sun" are 8.8 and 9.5 respectively, and can be infinitely approached to 10.0 when cultivated to perfection, comparable to the lost masterpiece "Flower God Technique" which starts at the peak and is directly perfect.

Now, Ling Yao has officially embarked on the path of cultivation. He has the Yin chapter of the "Compendium of Cloth and Grass" and has started at level 3. However, the side effects are extremely severe. He is prone to going into qi deviation and destroying his mental state.

She didn't know that this set of techniques was divided into two parts, Yin and Yang, and its main idea was to "obtain what you want in broad daylight," which meant directly stealing other people's things, tasting them, and experiencing them for a while.

The division into Yin and Yang is because this development path requires a "fellow Daoist," or to put it bluntly, a "wingman."

Because of the high difficulty, one person often cannot get close to a target that has been claimed, which is why it is necessary to cooperate with another fellow cultivator to harvest the prey and ultimately achieve the goal of feasting.

Ling Yao's skill is part of the wingman's technique, but she hasn't discovered it yet. She is still immersed in beautiful fantasies about tomorrow, unable to extricate herself from them night after night.

"Yui, do you know about that?"

"Ok?"

"It's because Tianlai is recruiting a resident band. It was originally supposed to be us, because before I came, Sister Meng and the others had performed at Tianlai at least eight times..."

This number is more than double that of all other teams, so there shouldn't be any suspense. But when I went to talk to him again yesterday, Mr. Zhang suddenly said he changed his mind..."

"Huh? Why?"

Yui asked, puzzled, "Didn't he give us a performance opportunity?"

"Yes, performance opportunities can be given, but 'Mizusei' is no longer his main team..."

In other words, we can't just ask him to schedule a performance whenever we want; we have to wait until other teams have available slots so we can "crash" his stage...

Ling Yao hesitated, "Boss Zhang made it very clear that even when he's paying out of his own pocket to put on a special show, he has to avoid the times of his 'resident band'..."

"!"

Hearing this, Yui became somewhat unhappy. "That's outrageous! What kind of band is this that they get to be treated like this? Are we just relegated to being supporting characters?"

"Um……"

Ling Yao lay on the bed, holding her phone, then rolled over to avoid a damp patch on the sheet, successfully changing the subject.

Analyzing:

"I checked Tianlai's schedule this month... The official WeChat account has updated with three new performance announcements... I don't know why they all have 'seven colors' in them..."

"Huh? Three performances in one month? Are you kidding me?"

Yui felt that this wasn't taking care of anyone; it was blatant favoritism!

"Could it be that the senior invested in Tianlai? That's so strange...!"

A newly formed band being taken in by a livehouse and given unlimited stage experience... such a thing would be a fantasy anywhere else.

However, Ling Yao didn't care. The life or death of "Water Color" was important, but compared to being able to see his seniors a few more times, what did it matter if his team disbanded on the spot?

Can serious matters be compared to men's affairs?

Is it possible?

"Hmph, it's alright, Yui, don't get excited. Anyway, there are plenty of performance venues here in Tianhai."

I heard that a huge chain of coffee shops is also starting to expand in this direction.

"A coffee shop? What does a coffee shop have to do with a live performance?"

"That's what I thought at first too! But then I found out that this chain store called 'Regeneration' was going to be a light coffee bar with a small stage built in, suitable for light music bands to perform, targeting a niche market."

Moreover, the nearest one isn't too far from us. I think if we can't become the resident band for Tianlai, then we'll have to find another way.

"Oh……"

Yui doesn't really care where the performance is held.

She felt that as long as she could get along well with Ling Yao and he could help her achieve her goal in the end, then she could accept whatever the process was like.

Although my teammates are weak, it doesn't mean I can't study them.

"Coffee shops and the like usually play jazz music or light music in the background."

As for us, the songs we've been rehearsing lately might need a slight shift, moving away from "landmine" songs and heading towards J-pop. Anyway, Mengjie has a hard time handling "landmine" songs; she's too tall, she just can't pull off a cute look.”

Ling Yao spoke frankly and set the future direction for the band on his own.

"it is good."

Yui smiled and agreed, but no one knew what she was thinking.

-

……

It was evening.

The band's rehearsals are in full swing.

Because of the tight schedule, Su Che asked the boss for leave again today, and even asked for leave for Yuan Xiao as well.

"Sister Ningning, we have some important business to attend to and can't work today. Sorry. Just deduct the wages directly."

He made it very clear on the phone.

Although I felt very distressed about the several hundred dollars I was paid for one night, the performance was still the most important thing, and there was no other way.

"Xiao Su, you're something else. Not only do you take leave every few days, but you also managed to run away with the child. How come you had a good rest at Jiang Jiang's house last time? Were you very comfortable? Did you even have the energy to play the piano?"

"...I can play the piano, but as for comfort... well... it's not bad."

Su Che is very resilient and always manages to suddenly tell the truth on such issues.

"You little brat, I think you're asking for trouble."

A red mark of anger appeared on Ningning's forehead, and she snorted coldly:

"I won't deduct your pay, after all, you still have a family to support. But next time you'll have to work double the hours, you understand what I mean?"

"I understand! No problem!"

Su Che readily agreed, thinking to himself that as long as it wasn't going into the black market warehouse, it was fine.

After hanging up the phone and returning to the underground rehearsal room from upstairs, all the women's eyes were once again focused on each other.

It's break time now.

Each rehearsal lasts more than 4 hours, so everyone takes a break around the 2-hour mark to eat, drink, go to the toilet, or sit down and chat. This break lasts for about half an hour.

Often, communication between teammates takes place during this stage.

People will become familiar with each other because of this, and even two people who were not close before and did not talk much will establish communication at this time.

"Let's summarize our tactics. What are the problems our team is currently facing?"

Su Che started the conversation, and the women all put down their phones and joined the chat.

"Senior, you go first."

"me?"

"Uh-huh."

"I think we can start by talking about the performance and the level of understanding between the two."

Yu tide has a clear train of thought.

"please say."

"In terms of performance, the overall framework is fine, and it basically meets the standards for going on stage. It's just that Xiao Yuanxiao is occasionally a bit unstable, and she needs to hone her skills a bit more..."

"Okay, okay! I'll do my best!"

Upon hearing his name called, Yuan Xiao's expression immediately brightened, and he expressed that he would work even harder.

"Um,"

Yu tide said frankly, "The little drum is usually very stable, but I noticed that when you're playing the drum, why do you always look away?"

Xiao Xiao: "Huh?!" (Looks away)

"Why are you staring at the guitarist instead of looking at your snare drum cymbals?"

"...I...well, you see...in a band, musicians need to make eye contact with each other while playing. This improves their teamwork, increases synchronization, and helps them sculpt the rhythm better! Any questions?!"

Lin Xiao retorted, "Besides, with my skill level, I don't need to look at the snare drum and cymbals! I can play them without a problem! Senior, please don't slander me!"

"?"

Yu tide felt that Lin Xiao had become quite audacious lately.

It looks like it's grown too big for its britches.
