Chapter 34 Your future is promising

Chu Yue chose to retreat.

Accept your fate and let Luo Chu use yesterday's song.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Lu Chen.

"Half an hour, is that enough?" A magnetic voice sounded, Lu Chen looked at Luo Chu and asked in a gentle voice.

Without waiting for Chu Yue to interrupt.

Luo Chu nodded heavily.

After a pause of a second, he added seriously: "It will only take ten minutes."

Lu Chen said nothing, only looking at Luo Chu with his eyes as deep and bright as the stars.

There was no sign of showing off.

Perhaps he was reflecting on his previous distrust, so Lu Chen was very tolerant of Luo Chu's words again.

Although my heart was in knots with worry.

Lu Chen paused for a second, his Adam's apple slid slightly, and he slowly agreed: "Okay, randomly choose a song, and prepare in ten minutes."

Chu Yue frowned in disapproval: "...Ten minutes? What can you do with that? It's not even enough to listen to the song twice!"

Glancing at Luo Chu, Chu Yue rolled her eyes and said, "It doesn't matter if we compete for a while. Let the others compete first. It will be over in about half an hour."

When these words were spoken, people around were even more surprised.

Strange eyes kept scanning between the two of them.

Ignore them all.

Chu Yue looked at the unpromising kid coldly, thinking that Luo Chu was worried that it would take too long and bother others, so she said with a hard mouth and a soft heart:
"Don't worry about it. They have to compete anyway. Prepare well and don't let it seem like I'm taking advantage of you!"

The final word was: "Draw lots, and come back in half an hour."

Having made up her mind, Chu Yue stopped pretending to be kind and pulled Luo Chu like a chicken, slammed the table with one hand, and pulled the lottery bucket over in a domineering manner.

He confronted Luo Chu.

Staring into those confused black deer eyes.

...Sure enough, what a little fool!
Luo Chu: “…”

Stiff.jpg
It was a close call, I almost couldn’t help but swing it over.

But the acting was so good that no one noticed.

This close physical contact was really uncomfortable, and Luo Chu hurriedly pulled his arm away without showing any emotion.

And you can't be too deliberate.

In desperation, he had to draw lots to pull it out.

The paper unfolds.

Several future teammates who were able to see the song title fell silent.

"Xiaochu..." Jiang Xi had a complicated expression. His luck was really bad.

This is currently the most difficult song in Rebellion.

The tune is high and the words are hard to remember.

Chu Yue was also silent when he saw it.

It took her several weeks to master this.

Lin Xuan held his chin with both hands, his expression serious, and suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Okay, from now on, during our lottery activities, just sit still and be good."

Luo Chu had no expression on his face.

I don't care whether it's difficult or not.

He didn't even care about the complicated and sympathetic looks.

Just relieved to finally escape the uncomfortable touch.

Without leaving any trace, he took a step away from Chu Yue.

Her delicate eyes and eyebrows were filled with doubt: in the past, no matter whether you were well-intentioned or malicious, she would overturn the table and grab your throat until blood splattered three feet away.

But now...it seems to be different.

Not to mention the exception for Lu Chen, even the touch of other people, although uncomfortable, is not annoying.

Is it a desensitization reaction that has been trained?

And... I haven't had an attack for a long time.

Lost in thought, with eyes lowered, his long eyelashes concealing his complex emotions.

Suddenly, my hand felt light.

The shot was a little slow and the reaction was a little dull.

Luo Chu looked in the direction where the piece of paper was taken away, and saw Chu Yue calmly refolding it and throwing it into the lottery bucket again.

"He cheated. He drew the ball without saying three, two, one. Do it again."

"..."

There was silence.

Chu Yue shook the bucket to mix the new liquid evenly.

Not saying anything means not refuting.

I thought that since I was leaving anyway, what was the problem with doing whatever I wanted?

Chu Yue followed her heart and pumped Luo Chu again.

The judges who witnessed everything: “…” They turned their heads away from each other and pretended not to see anything.

Lu Chen coughed unnaturally.

After all, I am still worried about Luo Chu.

He tolerated it without saying anything.

But the look in Chu Yue's eyes became more complicated.

Especially when he saw the hand holding Luo Chu's arm, his brows slightly frowned without him even noticing.

Everyone had their own ulterior motives, and with silent consent, Luo Chu drew again.

However, looking at the paper that was unfolded again.

The strange silence appeared again.

It has not been announced for a long time, and people are looking back from time to time.

But just a second before he saw it, Chu Yue snatched it away quickly.

His face does not change, his heart does not beat.

Holding the lingering and repeated song title, he spoke it into the microphone as his own song, and then calmly touched Zhang Sailuochu's hand.

"Oh my god! This one?"

“This is a bit difficult!”

"Alas... Sister Chu's luck is so bad..."

There was a lot of discussion.

Luo Chu came back to his senses, tilted his head, and his clear eyes were full of confusion.

Chu Yue yelled back, "What are you looking at? Go draw your lot!"

Luo Chu: “…”

Deep in the clear eyes, there is a surge of confusion.

It's rare that I don't get angry when someone yells at me.

On the opposite side, Jiang Xi and his companions automatically lowered their chins in shock and held up their faces, suspecting that the world was evolving secretly without their knowledge.

Although Lu Chen did not interrupt, his gradually frowning brows also revealed his confusion.

Preference ultimately breaks principle.

He did not agree with Chu Yue's unauthorized behavior, but he did not stop it either.

A voluntary indulgence.

The songs Chu Yue picked were much more normal, not difficult, and the lyrics were simple. It was not a problem to learn the general idea and sing them in half an hour.

Not to mention Luo Chu's amazing talent, he will definitely be even better.

A change from the previous worry.

Several judges were looking forward to it.

Seeing the two of them going for private practice, Xie Gongqiu, who was not present at the scene, was the first to be unable to hold back.

I heard a lot of rumors.

Compared with the expectation of strength, some anecdotes obviously attracted Xie Gongqiu more:
"What's going on here? Didn't you say Xiaochu was almost beaten yesterday?"

Take a look.

Walking one in front and one behind.

He changed the song and helped open the door.

Chu Yue, who usually pretends to be friendly but can't hide her arrogance, actually knows how to take care of others?

It’s okay not to mention it.

When Lu Chen was mentioned, his usual expression inexplicably turned a few degrees colder.

He tried to keep a straight face.

He slid over to the lottery bucket, raised his chin and glared, "Hurry up and have the interview."

It feels like my own kitten was kidnapped by someone.

Inexplicably unhappy.

Captain Lu rarely showed his rationality but also acted emotionally.

When assessing the bassist, he had a blank expression and said nothing.

It is rare for a usually gentle person to become serious.

But he was so awe-inspiring that people dared not make jokes anymore.

Compared to other instruments, the bass has a lesser presence and not many people play it.

But that doesn’t mean it’s not important.

On the contrary, it is absolutely the soul of the band and is indispensable.

Just like the steel bars used to build a high-rise building, even though they are invisible, the entire building will collapse without them.

Before losing their lead singer, Rebellion's weakness had always been the bass.

This is also the reason why Lao Cha always keeps himself low.

He came in as a replacement.

They couldn't recruit a good bassist, and they really needed one, so he just happened to join the company and got a position, but he always felt like a burden and unworthy.

Lu Chen did not speak first, but looked at Lao Cha in the audience.

Old Cha shook his head.

The two looked at each other, and Lu Chen finally agreed with him and said nothing more. Others were not as talented as Luo Chu who was too outrageous to learn and apply on the spot.

Following the process, the few bassists randomly selected songs and started to play accompaniment.

After the performance, unexpectedly, the best one was a girl.

If Luo Chu was at the scene, he would definitely find out that this was the friend who had separated Chu Yue from the fight yesterday.

Looking at the gentle and obedient girl, she is definitely not the type to play in a band.

Who would have thought that when the music started, his temperament would change completely.

Holding the bass in her hand, her long hair fluttered, occasionally covering her eyes, but she didn't seem to be unable to relax at all. Instead, she was completely immersed in the music.

Wild, arrogant, and crazy from the inside out.

There is undisguised desire in his eyes, and a deeper layer that is hard to see through but clearly contains a deep undercurrent of a story.

His eyes were not focused on anyone in the audience, but seemed to be floating in the void, trying hopelessly and stubbornly to grasp something.

Jiang Xi and his companions were stunned on the spot.

Xie Gongqiu, who was half-leaning on the side, suddenly sat up straight, his eyes full of surprise. He turned sideways and whispered to Lu Chen:

"Isn't this Qiao Zhi? The one who knows nothing but is so brave to join the company? I remember she has only been here for less than three months, right?"

Lu Chen didn't say anything.

In other words, ever since Luo Chu followed Chu Yue out, he has been absent-minded.

The irrational Captain Lu who was deserting his post was caught by Xie Gongqiu.

Xie Gongqiu looked Lu Chen up and down several times, then tilted his head to follow Lu Chen's peripheral vision.

as predicted.

Opposite the practice room.

"No way? Do you really think you're raising a child? You become distracted when you're away for a few minutes?" Xie Gongqiu had a complicated expression.

At the same time puzzled.

With Nil's ability, he would have found the most complete information, but there was no guess he had expected.

They have no intersection of existence.

It couldn’t be the white moonlight that Lu Chen was looking for.

He was just a poor little thing who was saved by Lu Chen out of kindness.

Lu Chen helped a lot of people.

Why...are you so concerned about this?

Xie Gongqiu couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to care anymore.

It’s almost the moment this part ends.

Luo Chu and Chu Yue pushed the door open and came in.

One after the other.

One who still looks gentle and well-behaved.

The other one lowered his head, feeling depressed and listless.

When they arrived, Qiao Zhi had just finished her performance. Luo Chu and Chu Yue sat down against the wall near the door.

Without paying any attention to Xie Gongqiu's inappropriate remarks, Lu Chen just glared at him coldly, then turned to give Luo Chu an encouraging look.

Seeing this, Xie Gongqiu fell silent again.

Qiao Zhi finished, and there was another contestant behind him.

However, he was not mentally stable and was affected by Qiao Zhi's extraordinary performance. He played several notes wrong and finally stopped by himself.

The results are obvious.

The one selected is Qiao Zhi.

After reading her information, Jiang Xi and Lin Que were amazed. Lin Que asked several questions with bright eyes.

Finally, the person who had been sitting in the back row stood up.

Old Cha took the initiative to applaud.

After the performance, the girl who had just been burning on the stage disappeared instantly.

Back to that gentle and virtuous atmosphere of rain and mist.

Bess held the baby in her arms, leaned forward slowly, and smiled shyly at Old Cha.

"Great!" Old Cha praised sincerely, "Much better than me."

Qiao Zhi's face flushed with embarrassment and she shook her head quickly.

But it is true.

Whether it's emotion or infectiousness, it's far ahead.

And it has come to this in just a few months.

The only thing missing is the tacit understanding that gradually develops through working with everyone.

It’s not enough to just praise.

Old Cha took out a musical instrument box that he had brought with him when he came in.

Very new, with a new bass in very good condition inside.

He smiled and stuffed it into Qiao Zhi's hand: "Come on! Work hard in the future!"

Qiao Zhi was stunned and tried to push him away, but she lacked the strength and was firmly held back in Lao Cha's arms.

On the stage, Jiang Xi and others' eyelids jumped.

I always have a bad feeling.

But it was too late for it to come true.

Beth's assessment was over, and the game with a destined outcome came as expected.

Who would have guessed.

Just when Lu Chen was about to ask "Who goes first?"

Chu Yue, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly shook her head and said in a relieved tone: "No need to compete anymore, we have already competed just now."

Having said that, he turned around and glanced at Luo Chu.

Luo Chu seemed to have not expected this development either.

He tilted his head, unblinking, staring at her with questioning black eyes.

It is very peaceful, like a clear spring, free from dust.

Although the fact is fake.

But Chu Yue, who was unaware of the situation, only felt more guilty.

She shook her head and sighed, "Alright, I've given up. He's very talented. Rebellion... has really found a treasure."

She knows all of Rebellion's songs by heart and has practiced every one of them.

But when I saw Luo Chu really start to learn and sing on the spot, and after only listening to it twice, he was able to perfectly reproduce the absolute pitch almost to the exact same degree.

Total defeat.

Take it heartily.

In the end, the wall that she stubbornly tried to crash down completely knocked her over.

But the gain was not just pain, but also another path to clarity.

Glancing at her friends and colleagues who were hesitant to speak, Chu Yue waved her hand and said, "Alright, stop pretending. Didn't you know I can't compare to them?"

A chorus of sneers, coughs and nose-touching.

Out of duty, Xie Gongqiu confirmed again and asked, "Really not competing? Then the lead singer is unanimously approved."

Chu Yue glanced back.

Seeing Lu Chen, who had never even glanced at him from beginning to end and was still looking at Luo Chu with worry on his face.

She pushed Luo Chu back to Lu Chen and said softly:

"No more comparison."

Give up.

Some people are destined to never be able to catch up with others even if they work hard all their lives.

The original idea of ​​trying to make one last effort was as childish as a gap that could never be caught up.

I'm glad I didn't humiliate myself.

I am also glad that I corrected myself in time under that extreme singing.

"I didn't notice it before, but just now, after listening to you singing, I suddenly felt that I might like music more than I thought." Chu Yue suddenly smiled, "If one day, we really want to compete, let's do it on the stage!"

Simply for the sake of music and love.

Even if the opponent is too powerful to be defeated, we will fight bravely without fear!
Rather than arguing over ridiculous things that are not worth mentioning.

"Come on." Chu Yue said sincerely, "It's so hard for us in the band to get ahead. You must persevere and give everyone hope for the future!"

As we are all members of the band industry, we know our own pains best.

Chu Yue's sudden embarrassment and sudden letting go were unexpected.

Then the next words that Lao Cha said were a heavy hammer blow.
"You saw it too. Qiao Zhi was an excellent bassist in the selection just now."

"This way, I can rest assured to leave the team."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Shocked, puzzled, questioning, especially Jiang Xi and Lin Xuan who were sitting in the seats, their eyes turned red on the spot.

"what are you saying!"

"I'm old now, and I really can't play music anymore." Old Cha sighed, his voice low and deep, full of fatigue. "When I was young, I thought it didn't matter. I would go for it if I liked it, regardless of whether I had talent or not. I thought hard work could make up for everything."

"But... this road is too dark and too long. I really can't wait any longer."

Old Cha spoke slowly, his voice was deep, and he sounded like he was trying to hold back his sobs:
"Actually, I wanted to bring it up before Jiang Rui left the team, but we were all depressed at the time and never said it."

"I have no talent, I am old, and my physical fitness is gradually declining. Sometimes when I go on a tour with you guys, I don't have enough physical strength to stand for the whole time. I really grit my teeth and persevere."

"If I continue to stay here, I will only be a burden to everyone."

Jiang Xi's eyes were red and he said sternly: "Old Cha! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lin Xuan also said anxiously: "Who said you are a burden!"

But he was interrupted by Lao Cha without any explanation.

He shook his head and sighed, "I'm already 33 years old. I met a good girl on a blind date before. I wanted to try my best to make more money, but I ended up getting involved in a pyramid scheme and even caused Captain Lu to rescue me."

"I've had enough of chasing dreams. I have to return to reality. My family has found me a stable job this year. It's time for me to start a family and live a down-to-earth life with your sister-in-law."

"It's just... I can't let you guys go." Tears welled up in Lao Cha's eyes as he looked at his former colleagues one by one. Suddenly, his eyes were filled with relief and expectation. "But now, with Xiaochu and Xiaozhi, Rebellion will be a brand new, vibrant, and reborn band."

"We are young, vigorous and energetic. We can go all out and fight!"

"Your future is bright!"
