Although, just tell me if it’s rock and roll enough!

This question is so confusing.

"Of course I've heard it. It's one of your rock songs. What's wrong?"

"This song is not a rock song, but... it's for memorial purposes."

Hai Mingli said in a pretentious manner: "Actually, this song was written for an old friend of mine."

"What old friend?"

"Someone who's long gone."

Hai Mingli picked up the microphone and tried to see if there was anything wrong with the equipment.

"…Please explain your words more clearly! What do you mean by deceased person or old friend? Why do you only say half of the sentence?"

Seeing that mmk was getting anxious, Hai Mingli suddenly laughed, "Hey, I just won't tell you, are you angry?"

mmk: …

The girl didn't care that there were other girls watching the band in the audience. She raised two middle fingers and made an unfriendly international friendly gesture to Hai Mingli.

"But you can tell from the lyrics, right? The words 'bloom' and 'sprout', don't they look weird at first glance?"

Hai Mingli added a final sentence, then quickly shut up, leaving a big hole in Kawaharaki Momoka's heart.

Have it?

The girl played the guitar, her thoughts wandering, and she jumped into the pit that Hai Mingli had just dug.

……

When Hai Mingli finished practicing, the afternoon session of Lezhicheng ended, and then the "Absolutely Impossible Girls Band" would enter for training.

"So...see you next time!"

Hai Mingli stood at the door of the bar and waved to the band members who were about to end their performance.

The city was still shrouded in fog. The girls, carrying their instruments, discussed with each other and decided to part ways at the door of the bar and go home.

"Goodbye everyone!" said the red-haired girl.

"Um... um (holding the drink given by Hai Mingli)... Goodbye everyone!" said the blue-haired girl.

"..."Pochi She was afraid to speak.

"Okay, bye everyone!"

Before leaving, several people said goodbye in a lively tone, changing the heavy atmosphere in the store.

Obviously, the other girls who ended the band did not blame Hong Xia at all, even though this was the second time that practice had to end early because of her.

Because several people knew that Hong Xia had something on her mind, and it was not a small matter.

Building a band is not a game, you have to go through ups and downs to a certain extent, and what happened today is very normal.

As long as you don't quit the team, it's all small matter.

"..."

Hong Xia stood at the intersection and waved to the girls. After a while, the band ended and they completely disappeared on the street.

It was afternoon, and normally a sunny afternoon, but at this moment it was indeed cloudy.

No one knew how long the rain would last. Dark clouds covered the city, and the sky was still foggy. The girl looked up at the sky, which was pitch black.

Then... the girl raised her head and a drop of rain fell on the tip of her nose.

"It's raining!"

"Where's my umbrella? Where's my umbrella? Where's my umbrella? Is it lost again?"

Passersby wailed and fled from the open area. In half a minute, the busy street was deserted.

...Where is my umbrella?

The girl standing at the intersection finally realized where the umbrella she brought from [STARRY] was. Did she forget to take it?

The girl turned around and was about to go back to get her umbrella, but she just stood there in surprise.

At the entrance of Lezhicheng Bar, Hai Mingli looked at the girl while holding an umbrella.

"You forgot your umbrella."

……

Volume 1 Wow! : Chapter 157 Pressure and Heaviness

Just like Hong Xia had watched the other girls leave, Hai Mingli also stood at the door for a long time. When he saw the blond girl gradually walk away, he scratched his hair shamelessly and turned back to the bar.

"Well, 'Girls' Hotel' is coming soon, are we still staying here?"

The blonde girl leaned against the wall and said to Hai Mingli who had just entered the bar.

It was getting late. Mmk's morning time was occupied by Renai's band, and the afternoon time was occupied by Hai Mingli's practice. I didn't finish my work, so I had to squeeze in time in the evening.

The girl sighed, then gritted her teeth and clenched her fists with a fierce look on her face. These master and disciple were so annoying. They took up the entire morning and afternoon and took up all of her time!

"Let's go, let's go, it's time to rest."

The abstract young man waved his hand and called to Xiangzi, who was about to change into a maid outfit, "Miss Xiangzi, you too, stay with your father. I won't bother you tonight."

The blue-haired girl nodded obediently: "Okay."

Seeing that she had nothing to do, mmk was about to leave with her guitar on her back, but was stopped by Hai Mingli.

The abstract young man patted the girl's shoulder and said, "By the way, how is your band going?"

"……what?"

What...how's the construction going?

"Does your band have any plans recently?"

Oh, this, the girl scratched her head, the band has been established for less than a week, and they practice together for no more than five hours, what arrangements can they make?

And - the retired veteran mmk, the absolute newbie nina, and the jk girl with long black hair who came to help temporarily...this lineup is too outrageous, and most people would shake their heads when they hear it.

The same configuration as a certain e-sports competition...

"No arrangements," mmk said firmly.

No plans, right? Hai Mingli took out a VIP ticket for the summer festival from his pocket and handed it to the girl: "Please give it to the new member of the team."

"Is it An Hesuba?" mmk drew the VIP ticket, "I thank you on her behalf."

Is this her name? I don't remember much about Haiming, but since mmk said they were on the same team, it should be her.

"That's right, okay, you go ahead and leave. I won't see you off!"

Hai Mingli greeted the girl and turned to walk backstage of the bar.

……

[12 days before the summer festival performance, afternoon]

The afternoon rain did not last as long as the morning one. When Hai Mingli left the bar, pounding his waist and saying, "Anyone can open this bar," the downpour had already stopped.

The city returned to normal, with brightly lit skyscrapers and a constant stream of pedestrians on the streets.

Taking advantage of the neon lights on the street, Hai Mingli hurried home.

When he reached the hallway, the abstract young man looked up and saw Rencai sleeping in front of his door.

For a certain abstract young man, the girl squatting at the door has become a daily occurrence...

A few minutes later, he turned on all the lights in his room. Although Renai didn't know how many times she had entered this room, she still looked around curiously.

By the way, give this to her.

Hai Mingli took out a VIP ticket for the Summer Festival from his pocket.

"Hey, is this... for me?"

In the rental house, the girl with reddish-brown hair took the ticket from Hai Mingli and said, "Didn't the summer festival say that there were no tickets? How come you still have tickets, Mr. Hai?"

"This is a VIP ticket. You can go to the backstage. You can follow me and Momoka Kawahara and see how we perform." Hai Mingli explained, "Since you chose to form a band, you have to go through all these things."

"First, I'll take you to the backstage to see how we do it."

Is that so? The girl put away the summer festival ticket and bowed her head without saying anything.

It's so well told in the animation and novels, a few girls discuss after class, or just have a camellia party, and then they form their own band, start performing everywhere, and develop a youth story.

But the reality is…

"Oh my god, how can you get this pronunciation wrong?"

"No, brother, you can't even keep up with the rhythm, right?"

"Where are my teammates? Come out and save us."

……

"If I had known that being in a band would bring me pressure..."

The girl pouted and lay beside Hai Mingli, muttering that she had just decided to form a band on a whim, without realizing how much trouble this thing could turn out to be!

"That's right, being an artist is a dead end."

Hai Mingli just perfunctorily answered the girl's question and started searching for something on his phone.

He tapped his fingers a few times, and a string of characters appeared in the search box - [STARRY]

Abstract Youth is still brooding over what happened in the afternoon. Hong Xia's sudden loss of composure is not accidental. If there is a knot in his heart, it must be treated.

He continued to flip through the pages, obtaining all the information about [STARRY] on the Internet. Hai Mingli didn't know if this was useful, but he would take as much information as possible. Hai Mingli would never have too much.

[STARRY is located underground...]

[STARRY starts selling tickets at 5pm every day...]

[Here customers can redeem drinks with drink coupons that look like guitar picks…]

This seems to be of no use...

Browsing his phone, Hai Mingli filtered out a bunch of information, all of which were about the livehouse, but as for the owner himself... the entire network didn't seem to have much information about him.

[About the introduction of the store manager Ijichi Hoshika…]

As if someone had done it deliberately, this message suddenly appeared on the mobile phone page. The abstract young man paused and his eyes narrowed.

"Wait, this one..."

This piece of information is useful!

He quickly clicked on the message.

“Through the wonderful performances of bands like stars, let this place become a shining place that can shine light on my deceased mother - Starry store manager Hoshika.”

The source of the information...is a website about retired musicians. This website specializes in collecting news about musicians after their retirement. Xingge was interviewed by this website a few months ago.

"I quit the team because of my sister."

"My sister wanted to form a band, so I quit the band and built this bar to help her realize her dream."

"...Yes, my mother passed away, which led me to want to fulfill my sister's dream."

The sister that the store manager Xingge mentioned... is undoubtedly Hong Xia.

Hai Mingli was stunned. My goodness, where did this cell phone dad take him? How come when he searched, he found such explosive news? !

The mother passed away, the younger sister wanted to form a band, and then Xingge, as the older sister, opened a bar?

Even if his EQ was as low as Hai Mingli, he had to nod at this moment. This was too romantic, so romantic that it could be included in some performance art textbooks.

In a few minutes, Hai Mingli finished reading the interview. The rest of the information was trivial, such as "How is the bar doing?" and "Do you have any thoughts on returning to the rock circle?" The manager Xingge answered them one by one, and Hai Mingli couldn't see what was going on.

After finishing, Hai Mingli rubbed his brows. He roughly understood the girl's family background.

"Hey, Mr. Hai, do you have anything else tonight?"

Renai spoke up, bringing Hai Mingli back to reality, and the abstract young man said "hmm" as a reply to the girl.

"That……"

The girl took out a pile of homework questions and said, "Excuse me! Please teach me!"

The homework in front of him was blank. Hai Mingli covered his face and thought, "Oh my god, I can't even answer any of these questions?"
