Liang Liang was discovered like a pearl buried in ashes.

As the saying goes, a pearl will always shine.

So when the Azalea Band finished singing this song, Zhang Yu flew to Liang Liang's side like a butterfly.

As soon as she ran off the stage, Yang Dongli's expression turned rather unpleasant.

The Minus 40 Degrees band came to the Blue Moon Dance Hall in Landi City for two reasons: first, they were asked to come by someone, and second, they were having a hard time making a living in Lianwan City.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to this small place; after all, they are a band from the provincial capital.

They come to the Blue Moon Dance Hall on certain conditions: they don't accept song requests, they only sing their own songs; and even if they do accept song requests, they only request their own songs.

There weren't any proper rock bands in Landy City before, so their arrival was quite novel. For the first few days, they lived a relatively comfortable life, surrounded by women.

The appearance of the Azalea Band caught Yang Dongli's eye, and he immediately took a liking to Zhang Yu.

This girl was different from the girls he had met before; her face, figure, and temperament were all excellent.

He decided to win her over.

Of course, it's not about finding a partner or anything; it's just for fun. But if things develop between us, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of marrying him.

Zhang Yu seemed to have a good feeling about him too; they were somewhat attracted to each other, and things were slowly progressing between them.

Yang Dongli believed that one should not rush things with a girl like Zhang Yu, but should slowly win her over and develop the relationship. At the very least, one should present an image of oneself as a virtuous gentleman in order to have any hope.

Therefore, their development has been somewhat slow.

But now, seeing Zhang Yu running away, he had a bad feeling.

Why does Zhang Yu look like she's striding towards her sweetheart?

Zhang Yu ran off the stage, and the other members of the Azalea Band also left.

But the performance will continue.

As Yang Dongli sang their half-dead songs, he glanced at Zhang Yu.

If you're not focused while singing, you'll make mistakes, and once you make a mistake, the audience will notice and start jeering.

"Liang Liang! What brings you here?"

“Zhao Xiaoqiao brought me here. He said you were going to perform in this dance hall, and since I was here, I naturally had to come and see.”

"Was that 100 yuan tip from you?"

"It's just a small token, nothing more, just showing my support!"

"On behalf of the Azalea Band, thank you! There are too many people talking in here, let's go backstage to talk!"

Faced with the despair and confusion of the band Minus 40 Degrees, Liang Liang was also infected and lost his spirits, so he and Zhao Xiaoqiao followed Zhang Yu backstage.

Zhang Ling had originally planned to go to the front as well, but before she could do so, her aunt led Liang Liang and Zhao Xiaoqiao backstage.

"Brother Liang! You're here?"

What kind of world is this? Her aunt calls him "brother," but she calls herself "older brother"—what kind of hierarchy is this!

"Zhang Ling sang well! She deserves encouragement!"

Although Liang Liang had met the other members of the Azalea Band, he wasn't very familiar with them, so he could only nod.

"I promised to bring you some audio and video materials about the band a while ago. I brought all of these materials back from my trip to the south. They're all at Zhao Xiaoqiao's house now. When are you going to pick them up?"

"We'll go pick it up tomorrow morning," Zhang Yu said, overjoyed.

"I'll be going back to Yahe tomorrow morning. You can go find Xiaoqiao then and have him give it to you."

"Brother Liang! Why don't you stay in our Landi City for a couple more days?"

"Since I'm free for a while, I'm going home to build a house. I'll come back out after the house is finished. Zhang Yu! What made you guys decide to perform? What you need to do now is improve your skills. Didn't I tell you, your current level is just embarrassing and ruining your own show? If the -40 Degrees band hadn't been there tonight, your performance would have been absolutely awful!"

“We didn’t plan to perform, and we know we’re not good enough, but Yang Dongli said that with his band as a cover, we should be fine.”

“What she said isn’t without reason, but it’s a case of forcing growth. If you want to make a living from this in the future, you must calm down and hone your skills now. Don’t aim for excellence, but at least pass. Once you start performing formally, the time you have to calm down and practice will be greatly reduced.”

If you go to a place with a good environment, where you have no worries about food and clothing, you can calm down and hone your skills. But if you can't even eat, how can you calm down and practice the piano?

In the previous life, a joke happened in the Beijing bands. A Japanese exchange student was studying at a university in Beijing. He unexpectedly discovered that his relatively amateur bass skills were actually top-notch among the Beijing bands, which caused a scramble among countless Beijing bands.

This shows that talking about honing your piano skills when you have no food to eat is just nonsense.

Girls have a shorter youth than boys. In a few years, they will naturally have to consider getting married. Once they get married and have children, they will have even less time to hone their piano skills.

Therefore, Liang Liang believes that it is best to lay a foundation before the age of twenty.

If you lay a solid foundation beforehand, you'll be able to reach even greater heights after your debut.

“We understand this principle, but Yang Dongli said…”

"Don't always listen to what others say. You live your own life. If what others say is correct, we can listen to and accept it. If it is wrong, we should reject it."

"Are you implying that it was a mistake for me to let the Azalea Band perform?"

Just as Liang Liang finished speaking, a cold voice came from behind him.

Liang Liang turned around and saw that Yang Dongli had come down from the stage at some point and was standing at the backstage door.

Yang Dongli needed to use the restroom, so he asked the three members of the band to hold him off while he went to relieve himself.

I happened to overhear Liang Liang's words as I passed by the backstage entrance.

Just now, Zhang Yu mentioned the name of the core member of the band Minus 40 Degrees, and Liang Liang remembered that the lead singer of the band Minus 40 Degrees was indeed named Yang Dongli.

"Hello, Brother Yang!"

"I'm not good enough! Why should I be good enough if people talk badly about me behind my back?"

Liang Liang frowned: "Brother Yang! Do you think I'm talking badly about you behind your back?"

"Was what you just said something nice?"

Is this an attempt to argue?

"Then explain how what I said constitutes bad advice? Is it wrong for me to refuse someone when I say something wrong?"

"If you said that sentence on its own, there would be no problem, but it's wrong since you've connected it to me!"

Liang Liang sneered: "You really think highly of yourself. Does that mean I'm wrong in relation to you? Who do you think you are?"

Zhang Yu sensed something was off about the atmosphere!
