Miao Meng sat behind the drum set and adjusted the height of the seat to ensure that his feet could comfortably rest on the bass drum and hi-hat pedals.
Picking up the drumsticks, she tapped the rim of the drum lightly a few times to confirm the position and grip of the drumsticks.
Then, Miao Meng began to practice basic skills, starting with simple single and double jumps. The drumsticks hit the snare drum alternately and quickly, with a steady and even rhythm. Later, the bass drum and hi-hat were added, and the hands and feet coordinated to gradually increase the speed.
After practicing the basic rhythm for a while, he began to try more complex rhythm patterns, beating the toms with his left hand and switching between cymbals with his right hand, and coordinating the rhythm of the bass drum with his hand movements.
The room was filled with the sound of drum beats, sometimes dense, sometimes sparse. Miao Meng was fully focused, occasionally stopping to adjust the pitch or position of the drum, and then continued practicing.
After practicing for a while, Miao Meng took a breath.
"Next is our band's song, we need to practice that too."
As he spoke, Miao Meng opened his phone and was about to click on the music score.
"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."
Just then, Miao Meng's cell phone rang.
Is it mom?
Miao Meng looked at the name displayed on the phone, quickly connected the phone, and put it to her ear.
"Hello, mom?"
While greeting, Miao Meng stood up, left the drum set, and sat down at his computer desk.
"How are you doing over there? Are you adapting to the big city?"
Hearing her mother's greeting, Miao Meng swiped the mouse and said,
“I was worried at first,”
"But the people here are very nice, and I adapted quickly."
After hearing this answer, the person on the other end of the phone continued,
"That's good. I hope you have no problems studying. Performing arts school seems to be quite different from the other schools you've attended before. Can you adapt? Will it be tiring?"
Miao Meng felt the care from her mother and replied with a chuckle,
"It's definitely different, but this is what I'm pursuing. I won't get tired no matter what."
"No matter what, don't push yourself too hard and get enough rest."
Hearing the words coming from the other end of the phone, Miao Meng's nose was sore, but she still pretended to be calm, wanting to report good news instead of bad news.
"Anyway, my studies are 100% fine, and I've even been noticed and joined a band."
"band?"
Miao Meng looked at the heart whisper page on the computer and replied,
"He's a very famous musician. He said he admired my drumming skills and invited me."
“That’s amazing.”
Hearing her mother's praise, Miao Meng immediately cheered up.
"Also, we're participating in a music event. We can perform in a big place during the finals. We'll definitely invite you, Dad, and your brothers and sisters to come and watch."
After saying this, Miao Meng heard the words of praise from the other end of the phone and replied,
"Thank you."
"Also, your brother's birthday is this month. Do you have any gift you want to buy him? I'll pass it on to him."
Without waiting for Miao Meng to reply, the person on the other end of the phone continued,
"I'll just pay for it. Studying in a big city is very expensive."
After hearing this, Miao Meng stopped sliding the mouse and was speechless for a moment.
"Ruomai?"
Seeing that Miao Meng didn't say anything, the person on the other end of the phone asked,
"The living expenses your family gives you aren't much, and I don't know if it's enough in a big city. I've always felt bad about it. You don't have to spend money on this kind of thing, so don't worry about it."
Miao Meng took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and said to the other end of the phone,
"Then I'll trouble you, Mom. I'll pick out a gift that my brother likes later."
The person on the other end of the phone continued,
"Also, didn't you tell me that the people in that band admire you so much? You should not cause trouble for them."
Miao Meng shook his head.
"How could that be? I was just about to practice the band's song. I won't hold the band back."
"Ah, so if I call you, won't that just disturb your practice?"
After hearing what her mother said, Miao Meng sat back on the drum set and replied,
"No, I still have plenty of time to practice."
Miao Meng's mother didn't think that this would disturb the other party, so she prepared to end the call.
"That's it anyway. If you have any difficulties, you can tell your family."
"If you are really tired, go home and rest."
Hearing these words, Miao Meng felt warm in her heart.
"Well, I'll work hard here, and I'll definitely let you know when I'm on TV."
After chatting for a while, Miao Meng's mother hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Miao Meng looked at the music score that had been tuned out and displayed on the phone screen. His eyes became firm.
"We can't fall behind."
Thinking of this, Miao Meng clenched the drumsticks and started practicing immediately.

Bandoli! Whisper of the Heart!: Chapter 52: Going Home!
In the evening, customer service company,
"If you have any further questions or need further assistance, please feel free to contact us. I wish you a happy life and goodbye!"
After the other party hung up the phone, Xiangzi looked at the time on the computer screen, which was ticking second by second, and she couldn't help but sigh softly.
Operating the mouse and clicking the button to quit, Xiangzi stood up, packed his bag, and left quickly.
Taking the elevator to the first floor, Xiangzi saw her superior walking towards her.
Logically speaking, Xiangzi should be grateful to him, because when Xiangzi saw this pretty good job in the job search newspaper, she was prepared to be rejected.
After all, Xiangzi had been rejected many times when applying for a job before.
But this time, Xiangzi was warmly received by the other party.
And for some reason, the other party quickly accepted the job without asking about my age.
In any case, Xiangzi finally got this pretty good job.
"Good afternoon, Yamada-senpai."
Xiangzi bowed slightly to the other party and greeted him.
The man who was called Yamada-senpai by Xiangzi, faced with the respectful address from the JK girl, did not have any fantasy of youth or love, but bowed respectfully to the girl in front of him even deeper.
"Good afternoon, Toyokawa-san. I hope your work today isn't too busy."
Remembering his boss's instructions, Yamada felt a little scared, so he showed concern to Xiangzi in front of him.
"This is not."
No matter how much time passed, Xiangzi still couldn't get used to the other party's respectful attitude. Although she had asked about this matter before, in the end she was just perfunctorily answered by the other party.
Xiangzi couldn't help but think that maybe it was because of his surname, but he was no longer a member of the Toyokawa family, so the other party shouldn't treat him like this.
Could it be from Grandpa's side...
Xiangzi shook her head, unwilling to think about it any further.
Maybe the other party is really willing to take care of me as a student, maybe...
In short, for me now, only this job is suitable.
If I really only rely on delivering newspapers, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay my tuition.
Thinking of this, Xiangzi sighed softly in his heart.
"That's good. If you have any problems, you can come to me. If I can't solve it, I will report it."
Xiangzi had heard this kind of talk countless times, so she simply nodded in response.
"Thank you so much."
Hearing this, the other party waved his hand and left quickly.
After walking out of the customer service building and arriving at a traffic light, the green light just turned off, so Xiangzi had no choice but to stand at the zebra crossing and wait.
Thinking back to what Su Shi said to him at the school gate this afternoon, Xiangzi pursed his lips.
Although I really wanted to refute, everything the other party said seemed to be right, and I couldn't say anything to refute it.
Xiangzi thought of his behavior when they met in harmony, frowned, looked at the surface of his shoes, and shook his head slightly.
Hurting Mu or something, have I been doing this all along?
At some point, the green light came on again. The people around looked at Xiangzi standing there motionless and felt a little strange, but they left in a hurry without saying anything.
In Tokyo, everyone has their own things to do.
Xiangzi was lightly bumped by a woman who was walking quickly. The woman simply apologized to her and left.
Is it already green light?
Xiangzi looked up at the green light that had already turned on, and without paying any attention to the eyes of the people around him, he quickly walked onto the zebra crossing.
After getting on and off the tram, it was getting late. As usual, Xiangzi prepared to go to the supermarket to grab discounted lunch boxes and some beer for his bastard father.
After entering the supermarket, Xiangzi took out her mobile phone and found that there was still some time before the discounted bento boxes would be put on the shelves, so she went to get some beer first.
Returning to the place where the bento were sold, Xiangzi waited quietly for the discounted bento to be put on the shelves.
While waiting, Xiangzi couldn't help but think of Youren's words again.
The Toyokawa family hasn't gone bankrupt yet, right?
Yuto said this to himself at the time.
The Toyokawa family did not go bankrupt, but I had left the Toyokawa family long ago and I no longer had any relationship with them.
That's how it should be.
But when he thought of Senior Yamada's respectful attitude towards him, Xiangzi couldn't help but frown.
I had been able to force myself not to think about the Toyokawa family before, but Yuto's words made this fact clear to the public without any concealment.
Yes, the Toyokawa family hasn’t gone bankrupt yet.
But there is no evidence to show that these were done by the Toyokawa family.
Maybe the other person is just more respectful, maybe I'm just lucky, maybe...
But the Toyokawa family hasn't gone bankrupt yet.
Thinking of this, Xiangzi tried to control himself and not think too deeply about it, just like before, but he failed.
While Xiangzi was still thinking about these things, the discounted bento boxes were already on the shelves.
A group of tired workers quickly surrounded the place where the bento boxes were on sale. Those who grabbed the bento boxes held them high and squeezed out of the crowd to pay.
