Chapter 6: Washing Hands and Making a Soup "How long do you plan to perform?" Tang...
Two weeks later, they had to go back to the company to prepare for the new album.
In the past two weeks, Li Xi has also been trying hard to get along with Wei Qiyao, and it has become much more natural than at the beginning. But Li Xi still decided to move back to the company's dormitory. Before leaving, Wei Qiyao was worried again. She was inevitably afraid after what happened. Li Xi repeatedly assured her that she would be extremely careful about her safety in the future whether she was on stage or on a trip outside. Only then did she stop talking.
In the beginning, Jiang Yilan wanted to become a star himself, but Wei Qiyao didn't quite agree. His father didn't care. He knew that his child was spoiled and became a playboy. After all, being an artist was a serious job, which was better than him eating, drinking and having fun outside every day. Wei Qiyao originally thought that he was just acting on impulse, and after accompanying his then girlfriend to see a popular band's concert, he came back saying he wanted to be a star and thought it was fun, but he was just impulsive, and backed off when he experienced some hardship in his debut. But two years have passed, and although there are indeed a lot of complaints, he has never said that he wants to quit the industry.
He also kept in touch with his sister, talking on the phone every night before bed. On the day Li Xi had the car accident, all of Li Mo's roommates knew that her brother had been in an accident and had also seen the news. But when they saw Li Mo again the next day, she seemed to be in a very good mood. They did not dare to ask too much, for fear that Li Mo was too upset.
Li Mo could only talk to her brother secretly every day. When Li Xi said he was going back to the company, they met again.
Wei Qiyao went to the company with him. She seldom came, and Jiang Yilan would never stay in the company dormitory unless he had nothing to do, and would try to go home. But this time, Li Wei told her that he would stay in the company more often because he had fallen too far behind and needed more practice.
Wei Qiyao looked at her son, who seemed like a different person after losing his memory, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She was of course happy that he was willing to work hard and become so humble, but she seemed reluctant to let go of her son, who was so willful and would act like a spoiled child in front of her, as if he would never come back.
Li Xi was the second one to arrive at the dormitory, Rong Xiao arrived earlier than him. Rong Xiao is a local like him and is also the team leader. He is used to being one step ahead of them in everything. Each person in their dormitory had a separate bedroom. Rong Xiao led him to his room. As soon as the door opened, Li Xi was a little surprised. The bed in Jiang Yilan's bedroom was obviously larger than the single bed normally provided by the company, and the mattress looked the same as the one in Jiang Yilan's own room.
"Meet Teacher Eris tomorrow, let's listen to the demo of this song together and preliminarily decide on the parts."
"Okay." Li Wei nodded.
Jiang Yilan has always had the smallest part, and this time is probably no exception.
He brought Jiang Yilan's guitar and after putting it away, he tidied up the room and organized the closet when Tang Ruining came back.
Li Xi certainly hoped to improve his relationship with him, so he took the initiative to greet Tang Ruining.
Prepared that he would ignore her, Tang Ruining raised his head and looked over. His eyes, hidden in the shadows under the brim of his black baseball cap, were cold and impatient.
"How long do you plan to finish the performance?" Tang Ruining asked.
"Even though you don't believe it." Li Wei smiled and said helplessly, "But I didn't act. I really forgot."
"I forgot, but I remember how to play the guitar." Tang Ruining also laughed, but it was just a sneer, "The young master is suddenly interested in playing the amnesia game with us. It's quite rare."
Li Xi thought that maybe he should really start by playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Seeing this, Rong Xiao skillfully mediated between the two and said, "Rui Ning, I was beside Yi Lan when he woke up, and the doctor was there too. He really wasn't pretending."
"Whatever. It's your business if you want to act." Tang Ruining turned back to his room, forgetting the voice, "Don't bother me."
Li Xi gave Rong Xiao a bitter smile.
Rong Xiao was very relieved: "It's rare that you two didn't quarrel. Just because you didn't talk back to Rui Ning, I am 100% sure that you really have lost your memory."
Li Wei couldn't help but give him a look of admiration: "Captain, you really worked hard in the past."
A bitter smile shifted to Rong Xiao's face.
The other two members arrived the next morning. They didn't expect that the first thing they saw when they entered the dormitory was Jiang Yilan sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast quietly alone.
Yuan Zhiyan had been in contact with him online these days, but he had never met him in person. He looked at Jiang Yilan uncertainly. Jiang Yilan looked up and saw them. He swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his fork and waved: "You are here."
Yuan Zhiyan seemed to be relieved and smiled brightly: "I'm coming."
Wu Xingye still looked quite surprised. When he heard Jiang Yilan ask, "Have you two had breakfast? I'll make some for you," his surprise turned into weirdness.
Can amnesia change a person so much? Yuan Zhiyan was so open-minded that he ran over and asked cheerfully, "What did you do? I don't even know if you can cook!"
"I learned a little bit at home." Li Wei had already stood up and was about to go to the kitchen. "It's just a simple sandwich. You guys pack up and I'll make it."
Li Wei woke up early in the morning, and after getting up, Rong Xiao and Tang Ruining went to the gym. He went to the company's convenience store and bought toast. The eggs and ham were already in the refrigerator and could be fried in a frying pan. He also heated the milk.
Li Xi is very nimble and cooking is no problem for him. He can make simple things like this very quickly. Wu Xingye stared at the sandwich and milk in front of him for a long time without moving, and his expression seemed to be afraid that Jiang Yilan would poison them.
Yuan Zhiyan had actually already had breakfast, but that didn't stop him from biting off most of the sandwich in two bites. He was almost moved to tears, "You know what, Brother Lanlan, this is the most delicious thing I've eaten in the past few days!"
"Not really." Li Wei asked with a smile, "Didn't you go home?"
"That's why I say that after I get home!" Yuan Zhiyan complained, "You have no idea how bad my parents' cooking is. I lose weight every time I go home... The most hateful thing is that I'm so old, but they don't let me order takeout at home. This is simply abuse!"
No wonder this child looks so happy even when eating in the cafeteria, Li Xi thought.
"Do you have any favorite dishes? I'll cook them for you." Li Xi added, "I can cook by following the recipe. I recently discovered that I have a talent for cooking."
"Really?" Yuan Zhiyan felt as if he was looking at his reborn parents, surprised and happy.
Li Xi nodded, "Home cooking is not difficult, I should be able to make it."
He learned to cook when he was very young, and he learned almost everything he could do by himself. He even secretly worked for an auntie who sold fried rice at a stall when his sister was in college, helping her make fried rice and fried noodles so that Li Mo could have more living expenses. During that period, I lived an extremely hard life, getting up early and going to bed late. I practiced at the company during the day and helped out at the night market at night, hiding it from anyone. Fortunately, the night market business was good, and his stall was so busy that he couldn't stop. Some people were very interested in watching the handsome guy making fried rice, and they went to his stall to buy food for several days in a row to support his business. The aunt was also very nice to him and gave him a lot more salary. When he returned home at night, he was covered in the smell of cooking oil. His roommate was already asleep, so he didn't dare to make too much noise. He quietly washed the clothes that were stained with the smell before going to bed.
Yuan Zhiyan had already lowered his head and started making a list on his phone. At this time, the two people who were working out came back, and Li Xi asked them again: "Did you have breakfast?"
Tang Ruining went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. Rong Xiao answered him, "We've already eaten."
Yuan Zhiyan hurriedly boasted: "Brother Lan made sandwiches for us!"
Rong Xiao was startled again. Looking at Jiang Yilan's increasingly innocent face, for some reason, the five words "wash your hands to make soup" emerged in his mind.
Yuan Zhiyan usually likes to stick to Tang Ruining. He has a kind of admiration for Tang Ruining. Although Tang Ruining is not the type of person who likes to establish close relationships with others, he indulges Yuan Zhiyan and lets him make a fuss beside him. When Tang Ruining came out of the shower, Yuan Zhiyan surrounded him again and kept saying, "Brother Lan is really completely different from before, have you noticed? It's amazing!" and so on. Tang Ruining endured it for about two minutes, then said one word to him: "Get lost."
Usually at this time, Yuan Zhiyan would wisely leave and post again next time. This time was no exception. Yuan Zhiyan quickly rolled out of Tang Ruining's room and knocked on Jiang Yilan's door.
"Zhi Yan now has someone he can stick to." Wu Xingye said to Rong Xiao with a smile.
"I didn't expect this incident to be a blessing in disguise." Rong Xiao sighed, "I hope that even if Yilan recovers his memory one day, he can still be like this."
We had a meeting in the afternoon to audition and decide on the parts. The song is called "Imbalance", a pop song fused with R&B. Eris was the teacher who was mainly responsible for their song this time. He played the demo and explained each part of the song to them in detail. He had also roughly divided each person's responsibility in advance and asked them to sing it to him in front of him.
Li Xi had taken his class before, and he was quite strict, so Li Xi could see now that he really didn't like Jiang Yilan.
Eris had let the other four people sing several rounds and did not let Li Xi start. Li Xi stayed quietly at the edge, listening carefully to Eris' instructions to the others.
"You sing." Finally it was Li Xi's turn. Eris didn't even look at him and spoke to the lyrics book.
Just two sentences, not a difficult paragraph. Li Xi cleared his throat and sang.
During these few days at home, Li Xi tried to practice singing by herself. Jiang Yilan's voice is not as rich as his own. Li Xi's voice was praised in the past for being very suitable for singing love songs about broken hearts. His roommate said: "It makes people want to drink a glass of bitter wine in the middle of the night and cry and call their ex to ask if they can't get married, woo woo."
Jiang Yilan's voice has basically never been properly developed and lacks a lot of practice. Li Xi can only rely on his previous experience and skills to make up for it, but this has already made the other members and Eris turn their heads to look at him.
"That's quite a bit of progress." After a brief moment of surprise, Eris gave an objective evaluation. "Sing a few more lines for me to hear."
"Okay." Li Xi sang two more lines. Eris thought for a moment and tapped the notebook with the tip of her pen. "Try to sing the chorus."
Hearing this, Wu Xingye put down the lyrics book in his hand, raised it again, and pursed his lips after doing this twice.
While Li Xi was singing, Eris kept looking at him. After he finished singing, Eris nodded, "That's all for today. I'll decide on the parts when I get back. That's it, you guys go back first."
Everyone said goodbye to the teacher. Li Xi turned around and saw Tang Ruining looking at him with no expression on his face.
He smiled at Tang Ruining again, and Tang Ruining showed that familiar look of annoyance and left.
