People kept entering the dance hall, but Liang Liang didn't see Zhang Yu's all-female band.
"Has Zhang Yu and the others not arrived yet?" It's almost 7:15.
"They probably went backstage."
These women are something else! They've even made it backstage; looks like they're really preparing to perform on stage.
At 7:15, the gong sounded, and the show began.
When the out-of-town band walked onto the stage, Liang Liang was dumbfounded.
Isn't this that band called... Minus How Many Degrees?
-30 degrees Celsius or -20 degrees Celsius?
I remember now, it was -40 degrees Celsius.
What's this band from Songyang, the provincial capital, doing here, eating and drinking for free?
The first song performed by the band Minus 40 Degrees gave Liang Liang a headache: "Depression." This was followed by "Hesitation," and then "Despair."
Following this sequence of events, the final outcome should be suicide. Even if it's not suicide, you should at least do something like jumping off a cliff or lying on the tracks, otherwise you'd be letting down all the groundwork laid beforehand.
Look! Why does Liang Liang look down on these people who complain all day long? If you could just bring out a death at this moment, that would be perfect. But what's the meaning of your song called "I'm Not Drinking Baijiu Tonight"?
So all that fuss, confusion, and despair you felt was over with just one sentence: "I won't drink beer"?
If you don't drink beer, does that mean you're going to drink baijiu (Chinese liquor)?
Feeling depressed, lost, and desperate, then drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor) is just the right thing to do. After drinking the baijiu, you'll be drunk and acting crazy, ranting about your dissatisfaction with society. Then you'll find a place to sleep like a pig, and the next day you'll wake up feeling depressed, lost, and desperate again.
Is this a case of living worse than a donkey?
The audience's reactions were mixed; some applauded, shouted, and screamed, while others remained indifferent, shaking their heads and sighing.
"Next! I'd like to introduce our new friends. Your city of Landi is an all-female band. Please welcome the Azalea Band to the stage to perform for us."
After the lead singer of the Minus Forty Degrees band finished singing and drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor), he gave an introduction, and then Zhang Yu's five-member band came on stage.
You could tell they were a little nervous and uneasy, but at the same time they were excited and thrilled.
"H-Hello everyone! We are...we are the Azalea Band. This is our...our first performance since the band was formed. Please forgive us if we don't perform well!"
Zhang Yu, the leader of the band, gave a brief explanation, but stammered a bit because he was nervous.
When the audience saw the five girls who came up, all dressed in red, exuding a heroic and spirited aura, and more importantly, knowing that the band was from their city, the applause naturally became much more enthusiastic.
"Next, we will be performing a program called 'Sisters Stand Up'."
The band Minus 40 Degrees may have known that the female musicians in this all-female band were still inexperienced, so they also participated in the accompaniment.
With the participation of the band Minus 40 Degrees, the accompaniment was finally listenable.
Laymen can't tell the difference, but experts can hear that the accompaniment is somewhat messy and some notes are obviously inaccurate.
"Then let's just wait to fall..."
Lead singer Zhang Ling was naturally a little nervous, and her first note was off-beat. However, after singing a few lines, her confidence returned and she improved a lot.
After the song ended, the applause was not enthusiastic and was rather sparse.
A few viewers also tipped some money, probably around ten or twenty yuan.
Although the performance of the first song was not a success, it was not a failure either.
Because several people had given him tips, Zhang Yu seemed to have regained a lot of confidence, and he stopped stuttering when he spoke.
"Thank you for your support. Next, our band will perform another song for you, 'Riding the Waves'."
The performance of the second song was a slight improvement over the first, but it was still not up to standard.
Given the current skill level of the Azalea Band members, if they can calm down and practice their basic skills diligently, it will take them at least six months before they can perform on stage.
If it weren't for the accompaniment of the "Minus 40 Degrees" band, people would probably have been pelted with rotten eggs and tomatoes by now.
Regardless, Liang Liang felt he should show his support, so after the song was finished, he tipped the singer 100 yuan.
"This gentleman tipped 100 yuan!"
What Liang Liang didn't expect was that the waitress who served the dishes and took the money was a chatterbox. Before Liang Liang could even tell her not to talk about her, she had already blurted out that she was the one who had betrayed her.
Zhang Yu's gaze fell upon this corner.
Liang Liang quickly lowered his head. Zhang Yu didn't see him, but instead saw Zhao Xiaoqiao sitting next to Liang Liang, grinning foolishly.
Zhang Yu looked at Zhao Xiaoqiao, and then glanced at Liang Liang, who was looking down.
Although all that could be seen was a head of medium-length hair.
Han Chui suggested that since other rock bands all have long, flowing hair, our band should not lag behind and should all grow their hair long.
Liu Yuyong and Wang Fan already had long hair, and Xiao Yu's was even longer. Only Liangliang's hair was relatively short, which dragged the band down.
Growing my hair to waist length is simply impossible. Summer is just around the corner, and having such long hair would cause me to sweat and attract lice. Besides, I'd have to brush it off when I go to the toilet, which would be too much trouble.
At most, she'll keep her hair long.
Liang Liang's hair was just reaching her shoulders, and when she looked down, only a half-full head of thick black hair could be seen, so Zhang Yu didn't see Liang Liang.
Zhang Yu was still puzzled. It was impossible for Zhao Xiaoqiao to have money to tip 100 yuan, and the waiter was clearly pointing to someone next to Zhao Xiaoqiao. Who was he?
As the saying goes, it's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you.
Zhang Yu was keen to keep an eye on the people around Zhao Xiaoqiao.
Someone tipped them 100 yuan, so they naturally had to keep singing. The Azalea Band then sang another song, "Ding Dong".
These songs are all by the band Sea Wave.
Liang Liang couldn't keep his head down all the time, or his back would get tired. So when Zhang Ling started singing, he raised his head.
He raised his head, and Zhang Yu, who had been watching her intently, trembled slightly, causing the guitar in her hand to produce a discordant note.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Liangliang.
Liang Liang was exasperated. "Can you please stop staring at me like that? If you keep staring at me like that, other people will notice and look in my direction. What the hell is this, everyone staring at me like that?"
Liang Liang's idea was absolutely correct. In just one minute, many people in the theater turned their heads to the right and scanned his direction.
Zhang Ling, who was singing, also looked over the audience's heads and naturally saw Zhao Xiaoqiao and Liang Liang.
Her reaction was quite strong; she sang off-key.
The lead singer of the band Minus 40 Degrees noticed something was wrong. He looked towards this corner and saw Liang Liang.
However, he had only met Liang Liang once, and couldn't immediately recall who this young man was; he just felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
