They are in the music show, but I am a stranger to them

No, this is impossible, right? I have never played in front of Senior Chen Qi... or did I get this feeling from the covers I posted online?

But no matter how much Xiao Gudu rejected it in her heart, the moment the word "weak" appeared, she was absolutely certain that the person Chen Qi was talking about was herself.

I am the only one present who deserves this title the most.

But why am I not depressed at all?

On the contrary... why am I so happy inside?

Gradually, Goto Ichiri's pupils lit up and he stared blankly at Chen Qi on the stage.

Goto herself did not notice that her original panic was gradually disappearing. This was the first time that she dared to look another person directly into the eyes in front of so many people.

And now, Chen Qi, who received Goto's gaze, has finally reached his final stage.

"But, I want to tell my friend. Being a weak person doesn't mean you can't succeed."

“Being weak means we have nothing to fear; being weak means we have nothing to lose.”

"Today, I, the weakling who came up with the bad idea, will drag along the two weaklings who were dragged down by me and who were not able to perform at their best, to sing this song in its entirety here!"

"Don't worry about other people's eyes. We are weak, so we are not afraid of failure!"

Chen Qi almost shouted out the last sentence in a rock-like voice.

In this way, he conveys his courage to everyone he wants to infect!

“Let’s use this song to make our voice heard!”

"Next up, we'll bring you LOSER!"

Chapter 20: "LOSER"! Sing the winner's attitude with the voice of a loser!

"L... Loser?"

Goto Ichiri was frightened more on this day than in his previous sixteen years combined. He hadn't even gotten over the shock of knowing that his online friend was a professional musician, and was instead frightened by even more shocking news.

For a moment, if Goto hadn't pinched her thigh subconsciously, she would have even suspected that this was a dream. Was she still dreaming about becoming a rock star and had never woken up?

Goto Ichiri had never been sung for by anyone, not even at school. The few times she mustered up the courage to find like-minded rock partners, she would go to the broadcasting department and actively recommend heavy metal music... After that, she became someone with "unique taste" in the eyes of her classmates.

And now, someone actually went on stage to sing for her?

Even, the song he sang was an original one?

And the purpose is just to encourage her?

To be honest, if someone really cared about me like this in real life, my first reaction would probably not be to be touched, but to wonder if the other person had some wrong ideas about me or was trying to cheat me out of my dowry.

But now, such a person really appeared, and was standing on that dazzling stage!

He said that they should sing out the voices of the "weak" people like them!

"Ow-!!"

Just when Goto Ichiri's eyes began to sparkle with an unprecedented brilliance, suddenly, Chen Qi on the stage once again roared at a broken voice, which lifted everyone's spirits!

Along with it, the sound of the hot drums and electric guitars began to sound, as if to break the silence that had been there before, with a very dense and clear rhythm!

Rock! This electric guitar and drum beats are undoubtedly rock!

"What's going on? Is this guy's style so crazy?"

Even Xingge, who was sitting at the counter, was shocked. Although she knew from the music score that the song was rock, after all, only rock music had such dense drum beats.

But Xingge didn't expect that Chen Qi, who had such a gentle first impression and had apologized to everyone on stage before, would become a completely different person once he touched the guitar! He suddenly became so... wild?

Not only was the electric guitar playing so fast, but the whole person even started dancing on the stage? What on earth was this kind of broken dance?

"It seems to be getting more interesting..."

But no matter what, as a former professional band member, Xingge could tell that just based on this prelude, this song would definitely not be bad!

Even the person who had been in charge of the sound system, a cold woman with long black hair who looked about the same age as her personality, couldn't help but cast her curious eyes towards the new star on the stage.

What kind of voice will he bring? What is the voice of the weak?

And at the moment when everyone's heart was reflecting such a voice, Chen Qi, who was dancing casually on the stage and swinging the electric guitar in his hand, finally put his mouth to the microphone in front of him.

"It's just like the past day after day, and it's hard to bear anymore."

"There's nowhere to escape, so go to your dreams and have a good sleep."

Chen Qi spoke very quickly, but there was not the slightest confusion in his breathing and his pronunciation was exceptionally clear.

He can also control the rhythm of the whole venue by playing the electric guitar in his hand, so as to lead the rhythm of Hongxia and Liang beside him.

But even so, Liang and Hongxia still didn't dare to slack off at all, especially Hongxia. Facing such intensive drum beats, she was under great pressure.

It would be fine if it was just the dense drum beats, but the problem is that this song has so many variations!

Although Hong Xia already knew that she would be under great pressure during the rehearsal, it was not until the performance that she finally understood one thing -

During the practice, Chen Qi was already holding back! Now he was in the official live state!

"We've always been like this, tired of these drowsy nights."

"We still have to continue dancing, waving goodbye to tomorrow's meeting~"

"After wandering around, we finally arrived. This must be paradise, right?"

"But now I'm not sure."

So fast! How can it be so fast? Wait for me!

Hong Xia was playing the drums hastily, and before the song was even halfway through, she was already sweating profusely from panic.

Why can he speak so fast? Even to the beat of my drums? Is this scientific?!

But, I don’t know why, even though I’m so busy——

But inexplicably, it feels great to vent my emotions!

“It took a quarter of a century to finally get the result.”

"The pale-faced superstar is waiting with an empty stomach!"

Hongxia, who was busy and anxious but also felt very happy, reached the climax unknowingly. Hongxia, who was following the rhythm very reluctantly, finally hit the drum several clear beats as if to vent her anger at the most critical moment!

As the drumstick fell heavily, a few drops of sweat flowed down Hong Xia's cheeks and floated in the air under the light!

"I am a loser! So it doesn't matter if I'm bluffing, right?"

"Let's move forward again and again, our voice!"

"I am a loser! I heard it a long time ago!"

"That sound that was hidden deep in my pocket at some point in time."

"Wo~"

The mixed sounds of guitar, drums and bass resounded again, playing again this interlude which can be called the "soul" of the song.

However, when the already panicked drum beats, coupled with the electric guitar that was still trying to keep the rhythm, and the sound of the bass that was almost inaudible under these two extremely eye-catching instruments, once again converged, it was completely different from the beginning.

But even so, no one on the stage panicked, and the performance continued!

Under the stage, Goto Ichiri's bright eyes, full of longing and yearning, never left Chen Qi, who was strumming the guitar, dancing some incomprehensible steps, and even singing.

Was the show good? Goto had to be honest: it was terrible.

Even she could clearly hear that the blond girl playing the drums was almost like a broken jar, and except for a few key drum beats, she could hardly keep up with the rhythm.

As for the cool bass girl, judging from the only sounds that Goto could hear, she was completely immersed in her own world and did not cooperate with Chen Qi and the drummer.

But why is the coordination so bad?

Senior Chen Qi, is he still so confident?

Goto Ichiri put herself in their shoes and thought, if she were the lead singer on the stage, facing such a chaotic situation, she would have no way of singing according to her own rhythm.

Even worse, I might have looked at the bassist and drummer with suspicion.

But Chen Qi was not affected at all. On the contrary, he continued to perform with an absolutely fearless attitude!

His confidence and composure seemed to send a signal to all the audiences - this performance was not a failure at all!

"I don't care what happens. The sky is ominous."

"Look at the skyscraper outside the window. From there it looks like nothing more than a speck of dust."

It was not known whether it was Chen Qi's confidence and composure that impressed all the audience present. During his singing, the audience was gradually infected by him and did not notice the disorder of rhythm at all.

It was as if all this chaos was just part of the performance.

And now, they have even begun to adapt to this rhythm, and the focus of the whole audience is only one - that is the most calm man in the audience!

They began to follow the person on the stage, dancing meaninglessly to the chaotic melody. This performance suddenly became a one-man show by Chen Qi!

"Ian and Kurt were both people from a long time ago. There's nothing you can do even if you raise your middle finger."

"Now I am working hard to win, showing an extremely cheerful expression!"

"The fools who dance are the fools who watch, and we are the fools who watch and laugh at this scene..."

Chen Qi, who had gradually gotten into the mood, even raised his middle finger on the stage in response to the lyrics.

But at this moment, every audience member in the audience had been infected by the atmosphere and no one cared about Chen Qi's rude behavior. Instead, the moment he raised his middle finger, they cheered even more enthusiastically!

"Is this possible?" Xingge was frightened by Chen Qi's boldness and couldn't help but sigh. Even when she was in the band, she didn't dare to do this!

Such recklessness, such fearlessness... If he was not an already famous musician, and if he was not playing in a home stadium where his fans make up the majority of the audience, who would have the confidence to play like this?

But he dared. Wasn't he afraid that the audience wouldn't buy in? This wasn't his solo concert, would the audience indulge him?

All kinds of questions flashed through Xingge's mind, but her thoughts naturally had no way of reaching Chen Qi's mind on the stage, let alone affecting the already restless Live scene.

Another person who has almost the same idea as Xingge is Xiangzi, who has completely come to his senses and wants to help Chen Qi overcome the difficulties this time.

Xiangzi's bright eyes were fixed on Chen Qi, who had become the focus of the stage and almost single-handedly changed this doomed performance.

But when seeing Chen Qi's calm attitude, for some reason, Xiangzi's joyful expression gradually became solemn, and in the end, he subconsciously bit his lower lip.

She really wanted to cheer for Chen Qi and be happy for his outstanding performance this time, but for some reason, the bitterness that arose in her heart after realizing it belatedly made her unable to say anything.

Xiangzi, you must tell the truth... When you see Chen Qi shining on the stage and turning the tide...

For the first time, she felt such a strong sense of difference between her and Chen Qi.

However, Xiangzi was not referring to the gap in talent.

If Xiangzi were to perform a solo alone on the stage, she believed that she would do no worse than Chen Qi who was in control of the whole show, because this was her confidence in her own abilities.

But, if I were to put myself in Chen Qi's shoes and face such poor cooperation, would I be able to be as calm and composed as him?

No...that's impossible.

Just by imagining such a scene, Xiangzi was certain that this was not something that could be done.

If it were her, faced with such poor coordination, it would be impossible for her to perform on stage with her bandmates. She would rather give up than put such a doomed performance on stage, and she would not be willing to endure the loneliness, doubts and ridicule that would follow failure.

For Xiangzi now, every little bit of doubt is like a sharp needle prick in her self-esteem, which is the last thing she wants to experience.

However, in the face of possible doubts, ingratitude, and non-cooperation, he still did it...

Not only did he do that, he also took on all the responsibilities of the performance as much as possible by himself at the very beginning of the performance.

But I... said that I wanted to stand with him and help him share some of the burden.

But in the end... my fragile self-esteem... is not enough to take on all the responsibilities of a band like Chen Qi.

And now, I want to invite him to join the band I want to organize, but I have nothing on hand... If something unexpected happens, who will take the initiative to step forward and take responsibility, her or him?

"Xiangzi?"

Mu, who was standing by, also noticed Xiangzi's sudden action. When Xiangzi suddenly lowered his head and ran out of the door for some unknown reason, Mu subconsciously called out to him, but failed to stop Xiangzi from escaping.

As for the reason why Xiangzi escaped... Mu could probably guess it.

Xiangzi, you probably need some time to calm down before you can cheer up again.

Having figured this out, Mu did not chase after Xiangzi, but continued to focus his attention on Chen Qi on the stage.

But in stark contrast to Xiangzi, when Mu looked at the dazzling Chen Qi on the stage, he did not feel the slightest sense of inferiority.

She just smiled quietly, feeling genuine joy for this young man who was now free to do whatever he wanted.
