Palm Idol

On the night of the first stage, because Bai Yaonan forced him to dove on Lu Yiwen without even saying hello, Bai Zhiyuan felt annoyed. On the way to the overseas performance that night, he was almost silent all the way.

Until he got off the plane, there was still a tense atmosphere between him and Bai Yaonan.

But this stalemate was subtly broken after Bai Yaonan watched the video of Jian She's performance.

Bai Yaonan suddenly changed his attitude and began to talk kindly to him, and even chased him into the hotel after getting off the plane.

In the hotel room, Bai Yaonan persuaded him a lot, and the one that impressed him the most was a photo of Lu Yiwen that the other party showed.

It was actually a photo of Lu Yiwen and He Yu, with a date three years ago marked in the corner.

Probably because it was taken earlier, Lu Yiwen in the photo looks younger than now, like a college student who has just graduated, with He Yu next to him shoulder to shoulder, both smiling happily.

This photo made Bai Zhiyuan's heart drop completely.

"Your brother has been dead for three years." Bai Yaonan pointed to He Yu in the photo, and then moved his finger to Lu Yiwen's face, "But he, and those people in Undeux, are doing better than the other. , they don’t even commemorate your brother’s memorial day anymore.”

Bai Zhiyuan bit his back molars and said nothing.

"I don't know how you endured it." Bai Yaonan continued, "You were the one who cried and told me that it was Lu Yiwen who killed your brother, and you wanted to ask them for your life."

"The result? The first time you met Undeux, you scared yourself back! Are you so cowardly?"

"I……"

"Also, if I ask you to steal the demo, you have to tell me that stealing songs is dirty, so you don't want to." Bai Yaonan snorted coldly, "Okay, if you don't want to, then you don't want to. Tell you not to let Jian She and Lu Yiwen get too close, and you say that he doesn't listen to you at all, and he can't provoke you."

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but said: "It's true, Jian She's character, I really..."

"Okay, don't tell me to say these things." Bai Yaonan clicked on the photo again, "I just want to tell you that entering Shejia and finding Lu Yiwen to settle accounts, everything is your own request and idea, am I right? ?”

Bai Zhiyuan: "Yes."

He couldn't deny it.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Bai Yaonan looked at him leisurely, "If you want to stop, I will call Lu Yiwen tomorrow to explain the situation."

"Don't, don't call." Bai Zhiyuan became anxious, "Now let him know, what good will it do you?"

Bai Yaonan looked at him with a hooked smile.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't know what to say.

Only at this moment did he clearly realize that he was not qualified to negotiate conditions in front of this fat man.

After all, Bai Yaonan gave him everything that he depends on to survive now like a reward.

Even if you are dissatisfied, you can only bear it all.

"How about letting them disband?" Suddenly, Bai Yaonan said such a sentence.

Bai Zhiyuan was surprised: "Why, how to disband?"

"Isn't it easy to disband a band?" Bai Yaonan smiled, "Negative news, discord with the players, discord with the management company, family changes, health problems, aren't they all the reasons?"

"..."

"Another way of thinking, since you said that Jian She won't listen to you, then find someone who listens to you." Bai Yaonan said meaningfully, "Make the combination messy and let them disband at the most brilliant time. It's like the cherry blossoms blooming with all their life, and the next day, a cold spring came, which crushed all the beauty into mud. What do you think will happen to Lu Yiwen?"

Will go crazy.

This is the band he managed to cultivate.

Bai Zhiyuan thought of this sentence in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Because, listening to Bai Yaonan's words, a slight sense of pleasure also inexplicably rose in his heart.

"Go for it." Bai Yaonan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will also cooperate with you outside, don't worry."

"I... try my best."

"Oh, yes, there are more." Bai Yaonan seemed to have thought of something, "If there is a chance, let's build a good relationship with Jian She."

Bai Zhiyuan: "Why?"

"That kid has a good level." Bai Yaonan said, "After Jicai disbands, if you feel uncomfortable, you can give him an olive branch and let him come to our company."

"Well, although others seem a bit arrogant, but debuting as an independent singer must be pretty good."

……

...

Bai Zhiyuan came back to his senses, looking at the two high school students who were chatting quietly beside him, a feeling of being out of place suddenly surged up, he simply turned his face away, and didn't speak any more along the way.

That night, after barely staying in the dormitory for one night, he left the key and left early the next morning.

"Xiaobai left so soon?" Jingxiang went to the cafeteria after waking up, and said regretfully, "I came back too late yesterday, and I originally wanted to have a celebration banquet today."

Lu Yiwen, who heard this from the side, turned his head and said, "Maybe it's the first time I live here, and I'm not used to it yet."

"It's not the first time." Jing Xiang corrected him, "Before my brother didn't come back, he had been here several times, and we even went to the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables and cook together."

When Lu Yiwen heard this, he paused for a moment.

"But as soon as you come back," Jing Xiang continued, "he doesn't come here very often. I asked him a few days ago if he wanted to move to the dormitory, and he said he would cause you trouble, but he didn't want to."

Lu Yiwen knew it in his heart, it seemed that Bai Zhiyuan was also deliberately avoiding him.

This is troublesome.

Although Bai Zhiyuan released pigeons for no reason before, it made people angry, but no matter what, he is still a member of this band after all.

Since I don't plan to change the drummer now, I still have to find a way to coordinate the relationship.

Have a chance to talk to him.

·

Summer is the busiest season for the band.

After the first tour, due to Jicai's good performance on stage, each livehouse will invite them to perform additional performances when there are vacancies.

Coupled with the blessing of two consecutive high-quality albums, after a period of time, Jicai has gained its first batch of fans and gained initial popularity.

Seeing that the momentum is going well, Louis Wen went to the Internet to collect some current music fans' evaluations of Jicai. After careful consideration, he decided to launch a few free live shows, and then put the previous live videos on the Internet for publicity, further consolidating his popularity.

During the meeting, he also told the team members the news by the way.

"If the live is free, is it only held locally?" Xu Lan asked with her chin crossed, "Or like the last tour, with Hujia as the center, and other cities also going around?"

"Only in Hujia." Lu Yiwen sat at the table and looked at the computer screen, "And because it's free, the venue doesn't need to be fixed in a large venue, like a university auditorium, or a small underground box. It's an experience. Bar."

"The auditorium of the university!?" Jing Xiang was a little surprised, "Hujia University?"

"No," said Lu Yiwen, "it's Hujia Women's University."

Hujia Women's University is a well-known local liberal arts institution.

If they do not plan to leave Hujia during college, most liberal arts girls with good grades will choose to study here.

Now is the period when the college entrance examination is over, the results have not come out, and the time to fill in the volunteers has not yet come. Girls who want to go to this school will often wander around it during this period.

"Wouldn't there be a lot of girls from our school then?" Jing Xiang pressed his forehead, "Maybe we might meet someone from our class."

"No, it's okay." Xu Lan tried to comfort him, "You see, I also performed in front of my classmates last time, and I didn't feel anything at all."

"That's not what I meant." Jing Xiang waved his hand, "I mean, since I finally managed to perform in front of them, but in the form of a band, it would be fine if I played alone."

Jian She spared no effort to hit him: "If it was really your solo performance, no one would come."

"..." Jing Xiang choked for a moment, "Can't you praise me once? Is it so difficult to admit that I'm handsome?"

Jian She: "I can't admit it."

When Jing Xiang heard this, he ran straight to Jian She, shook his shoulder vigorously and said, "That's no good, I must give you a compliment today. You've been belittling me for so long, it's time for me to charge interest Bar!?"

Jian She was shaken like a pendulum clock, but she still said, "No exaggeration."

Jing Xiang hugged his neck from behind, trying to pull his mouth: "Is it a boast? Is it a boast?"

Jian She was squeezed hard on the face by him, but still had a cold face, swearing to die: "No boasting."

The two started fighting like this, Xu Lan laughed straight at the sight.

Even Lu Yiwen, who was watching from the side, could only smile helplessly.

At first, I thought they had grown up a bit, but this behavior is basically elementary school students, okay?

He looked away, and suddenly saw Bai Zhiyuan staring intently at the noisy three little ones, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Bai Zhiyuan?" Lu Yiwen called him, "Are you going to have something to do soon? If you have nothing to do, leave it here. I have something to tell you."

"Ah." Bai Zhiyuan came back to his senses, turned on the phone and said, "Today is Friday?"

"Ah."

"Friday..." Bai Zhiyuan said in embarrassment, "Our student union has a meeting, you can come to me next time."

"It's okay, I'll make a long story short. What time is your meeting?"

"No, to make a long story short... Maybe there is no time." Bai Zhiyuan stood up directly, pushed the chair and said, "I suddenly remembered that this meeting is quite urgent, I have to leave now."

"?" Lu Yiwen wondered, "Are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes, it's very urgent, the kind that's extremely urgent." Bai Zhiyuan packed his things immediately, without leaving any space for Lu Yiwen, and slipped away quickly with a slight jaw move.

"..."

How does it feel like a mouse has met a cat.

I didn't do anything to him before.

Lu Yiwen couldn't help but slander.

However, the moment when Bai Zhiyuan lowered his head to salute, then raised his head and squinted at him, he really resembled He Yu.

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

But in a game world with frequent accidents like this, any coincidence will not be just a coincidence.

Lu Yiwen, who originally wanted to talk to Bai Zhiyuan, suddenly hesitated at this moment.

If Bai Zhiyuan really had something to do with He Yu, and he came to question him about He Yu, Lu Yiwen felt that he might not be able to answer.

——Because, the cause of He Yu's death was not clear even to him, the person concerned.

Although it was claimed to be suicide due to excessive pressure, in fact, the statement of suicide was just a reluctant conclusion after excluding all other causes of death.

Coupled with the police investigation, He Yu had borrowed from usury before his death, and he had already owed a lot of debts.

Suicide has become a logical argument.

Although he was just a paper man who had met a few times in the early days of the game, his sudden death also surprised Lu Yiwen.

That was also the first time he knew that the paper man would also die.

However, he has never drawn He Yu's card. Maybe in the game settings, He Yu is not even a supporting role in the story.

Lu Yiwen closed the laptop, looked into the room, and Jian She was the only one left.

"Where did Jing Xiang and Xu Lan go?"

"I left just now." Jian She walked to his table and said, "There is a new Japanese ramen shop nearby. They said they wanted to try it, so they went there together."

"These two are real." Lu Yiwen sighed softly, "They are still in the company, and they will leave early without saying hello."

"They fought." Jian She explained, "You also said 'yes'."

"...Okay." Lu Yiwen, who had completely lost his memory, said, "Didn't you go with me?"

"No." Jian She said categorically, "Ramen noodles are oily and salty, and they don't taste nutritious."

These words were merciless, picking out all the thorns in Ramen. If Ramen was a person, if he heard these words here, he might jump up and fight him.

However, Lu Yiwen remembered that in the past, when Jing Xiang was clamoring for takeaway in the dormitory, Jian She basically never got involved, and was very self-disciplined in terms of diet.

...It seems that except for the food made by Lu Yiwen, Jian She is very picky about other foods.

Even the administrator has spent a lot of effort and carefully considered the nutritional combination, sometimes it doesn't meet his wishes.

Quite pampered.

"Then you go back first." Lu Yiwen shook his hand at him, "I still have something to do today, so I won't go back with you."

Jian She was helping him pack his things, but when he heard this, he suddenly looked over: "Working overtime again?"

"Yes, there is still a lot of work to be done."

Lu Yiwen casually found a reason, but in fact it was just that the plot of this episode was over and he wanted to go back.

It seems that the daily task has not been done yet.

"Oh." Jian She nodded, "What about dinner?"

"Just find a place to eat."

Although there is nothing in the game space, the necessities system will continue to provide him with it.

"It's not good to eat casually, right?" Jian She asked him seemingly nonchalantly, "About what time will you be back? How about I help you prepare meals?"

"No, I guess it's already late when I go back, you'd better go to bed early."

"It's okay, I can wait. Anyway, if you don't come back, I won't be able to sleep."

Hearing this, Lu Yiwen couldn't help but look up at him.

Jian She repeated it softly: "What time will you be back?"

"..."

What time do you go back?

Lu Yiwen really couldn't answer this question.

Generally speaking, after the plot of one section ends, when the next section starts again, it must start with the next event point.

As for when the next event point will occur, this is not something Lu Yiwen can know.

The most conservative estimate is to start from waking up tomorrow morning.

"I'm not sure what time I'm going back. I can only say that the sooner things are done, the sooner I can go back." Lu Yiwen thought for a long time, and could only come up with an idea.

"..."

Hearing what he said, Jian She's gaze kept sweeping across the empty desktop in front of her, where there didn't seem to be any unfinished work.

——It is clear that I don't believe it.

"Okay, I see." He suddenly leaned down towards Lu Yiwen, looked at him and said softly, "No matter where you go, we can meet again tomorrow, right?"
