The new song "Meretricious" was finally changed to "Break Up With Him" ​​at James' insistence.

Because he said: "The Beatles didn't dare to name such a hard-to-pronounce name, and it is easy to spread to the public if it is catchy."

Baldwin and Theo felt the same way.

After all, they also belong to the type of people who [stare at the title of the song for a long time, then naturally skip the word and go to the lyrics and score].

Lance, on the other hand, is essentially disdainful of the idea of ​​'people pleasing'.

But he always contradictoryly wanted to get more praise from people, so in the end, the minority obeyed the majority and acquiesced in changing the name.

Over the next few months, Planet began to experiment with their new songs.

Mr. Dwight's club is very formal, usually there will be a fixed list of performances, so if you want to try new songs, you must see every stitch.

It was not a blockbuster at first, but a trial and error.

They performed various renditions of the song on stage.There are slow and half-beat soothing rhythms; there are a series of roars like a storm; there are times when drums lead the whole song;

This is a very rare experience.

The environment they live in is extremely relaxed, without any pressure. Mr. Dwight indulges them in performing their own things with private goods after performing the content of the program list; the audience in the club does not mind hearing some novelties, at most When the sound is not good, throw the messy things on the stage and call the lead singer to shut up.

For Planet, this career is an integral foundation for all of their musical careers.

Here they hone their skills, learn to perform, exercise their on-the-spot resilience, cultivate a tacit understanding with their teammates, and... have fun!

"Everyone is just playing." Later, Baldwin said with gestures like this with a smile: "It's like playing a small game of arrangement and combination, accent, bass, singing slowly, singing fast. Hey, who wants to be the protagonist today? Theo? OK, then it’s up to you!”

Playing until almost Christmas time...

About [-] songs have been written in Lance's notebook, and the performance mode and final version of "Break Up For You" have also been finalized.

Mr. Dwight is planning a pre-holiday event at the club.

Therefore, James and the others planned to officially and grandly launch the song at the event.

Baldwin and Theo were a little nervous.

Fans of the Reims authorities, the previous experimental stage was fine, but now, it is inevitable that I feel uneasy about the songs I wrote.

After all, the audience is the most elusive creature in the world.

When you want them to laugh, they may make up your 'forced smile' and cry for you; when you want them to be moved to tears, they will be in the bottom because of your 'pretentious performance' ' And laugh off your dentures ha ha ha!

——You must fight wits and courage with the audience.

Find a way to defeat them!

Otherwise, good songs may also be buried, isn't it?

James swung his bright green eyes around, trying to do a little stunt to get everyone to realize it was a good song.

But how to implement it...

Gotta find a helper first!

Baldwin just let it go.

As for Lance, a narcissistic guy, the first reaction must be to ask: "Are you not confident in my song?"

This kind of bloody question is a fucking trap!

James knows him so well that he can completely rehearse the next step in his head...

If the answer is confident.

He would say: "Then what crooked ways do you want to mess with? You idiot!"

If the answer is not confident.

He'd say, "How dare you have no fucking faith in my song? You idiot!"

They're all idiots anyway.

So, James decided to leave him alone.

When the show ended one day and everyone went home...

He chose to catch up with Theo who was leaving with Bess on his back: "Hey, Theo, wait."

"Call me? What's the matter, Jimmy?" Theo stopped, looking back at him in surprise.

James ran a few steps over and asked, "Do you want to pick up girls?"

Theo was instantly excited, even the pimple on his forehead almost swelled.

He asked with bright eyes, "What do you mean? Are you going to introduce me to a girl? My God, Jimmy! You're such a nice guy."

"No, no, there is a girl who wants to meet you."

James hurriedly explained.

Theo immediately became more excited.

He still looked left and right: "Is she so discerning? Where is she? Is she good-looking?"

"When we played today, the blonde girl in the south corner of the bar...the one named Lisa."

"Wait... I remember, there seems to be a man sitting next to that girl?"

"Yes, that's right, that's her elder brother."

"Oh, is she trying to date me?"

"She asked me to tell you that if you can send her a song on the stage tomorrow, she will do whatever you want."

"Damn it! Are you telling the truth? Do whatever I want?!!"

"Yes, the sofa in the living room, the back seat of the car, the alleys...that's right. But the premise is that you have to give the girl some face and make a big scene. She means that you want to present a song to her in public. "

"But I can't sing, brother? I'm not the lead singer."

"It's okay, I'll help you! I'll give you the microphone later, and you just say, this song is dedicated to Miss Lisa, and then I'll finish singing for you."

"Jimmy!! Jimmy!! Jimmy! You're my best brother from now on!"

"Of course, you have always been my good brother, Theo!"

James said sincerely.

The next day, when the Planetary Band performed...

James ran over and handed the microphone to Theo's mouth.

Both Lance and Baldwin were stunned!

They both have 'what the fuck are you two doing' WTF expressions.

But Miss Lisa sitting in the corner of the bar is too good looking.

Lust is obsessed with color, sex is obsessed with mind!

Theo ignored Baldwin and Lance's suspicious glances.

He leaned towards the microphone like a dog in heat, and said the pre-negotiated lines in a pretentious tone: "The next song is for my favorite Miss Lisa! Please finish listening to this song After that, date me immediately!"

The club was quiet.

The gossiping, eating, and drinking people all stopped, and they looked up at the stage in surprise.

While the audience was watching, James smiled and retracted the microphone.

Then, he motioned for Lance to start the next song.

The melodious guitar prelude of "Break Up With Him" ​​sounded.

Then, there was an explosive roar: "Break up with him, break up with him! He's not! Yes! A man! A man!"

The audience was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

Immediately afterwards, they started booing, applauding, yelling, and laughing at the flushed Miss Lisa at the bar.

The melody played by the band is very lively and compact.

James also sang very cheerfully. He made faces, jumped up and down, sometimes made some cheap sarcasm, and sometimes used his natural good voice to express various emotions such as sincerity, pleading, and affection, repeating repeatedly "break up with him, and be with him." Break up, break up with him...'.

The magic power of that voice made the audience lively.

Even because they were so absorbed in listening, all the people who joined in the fun were patting the table and yelling: 'Break up with him!Break up with him!Break up with him! '

When the singing was over, Miss Lisa simply took her tall and strong 'brother' onto the stage amidst the tidal roar.

Then, the tall and strong 'brother' took a big step, walked up to Theo, looked down condescendingly, but asked politely: "Excuse me, what do you mean? We just got married last week, Pretty much the whole club knows. Now, are you trying to fuck my wife?"

What?marry?

No, I don't know!

Aren't you brothers and sisters?

False information kills people!

Damn you, James!

The shitty living room sofa, the back seat of the car, the alley by the side of the street...

What can I do there?

Beaten up?

Theo panicked: Weak, pitiful, and helpless.JPG

Lance and Baldwin watched the scene in confusion.

James put his hands in his pockets, whistled, and stepped off the stage as if nothing had happened.

Although he stepped off the stage, he immediately called the club's security personnel to maintain order, and in time stopped some kind of violent activity that a certain big brother might, might do to Theo.Then, he took the initiative to go over to Lisa and her husband to explain, indicating that this was an 'inappropriate performance', and gave a sincere apology.

The club-goers, notoriously good-natured loving couple (Theo's day-to-day news is so incomprehensible) helplessly and amusingly forgave the troublemakers, and found the whole thing amusing, indirectly boosting their relationship. (they later became big fans of the band and always thought the song was made for them).

But Theo was still so angry that he ignored James for a full month.

Moreover, she was always looking for opportunities to take revenge on him.

James doesn't care.

When he punishes others, he is ready to be punished.

But you have to have some fun to be a human being. If life remained the same, Lance would not be able to write "Break Up with Him"; and now he would not be singing on the stage, but helping people in the garage Change tires.

To be honest, who the hell wants to do that kind of rubbish job after enjoying the bright spotlight on the stage!

So, after the performance one day, everyone was so tired and sweaty, they asked the club staff to borrow a place to take a shower...

Theo's revenge came.

When James came out of the bathroom, he found that all his clothes were missing.

The little bastard only left him a thick long skirt of women's style, which was put on the chair he used to sit on, and beside it was a note that read: This is the reward you deserve!

"So, you just watched him treat me like this? Don't you plan to help me?"

While wiping his hair with a towel, James held up the skirt and pretended to be pitiful.

Baldwin replied with embarrassment and guilt: "Sorry, Lance said, we shouldn't meddle in the kindergarten grievances between you and Theo."

Lance was more direct: "You deserve it, Jimmy."

Okay, isn't it just wearing a skirt?What's the big deal!It's just to let that boy Theo calm down.

Anyway, this matter can never be worse than being unable to read the text and being scolded by the teacher in front of the whole class until you want to get under the table!

In order to avoid the fate of running naked naked, James put on the long skirt that looked thick, but it felt empty, insecure, and did not keep warm.

So, girls, why would you like to wear this thing?

But out of the psychology of not wanting to be seen as a joke...

Under Lance's thoughtful gaze, James pretended to be calm and picked up a cigarette, trying to show the appearance of 'real men are not afraid to wear skirts'.

He smoothed out his damp blond hair and held his head up like he wasn't wearing some shit frock but a tailored suit from Savile Row.

Baldwin peeked at him sheepishly and curiously.

Lance felt incredible from the bottom of his heart, how could someone have such a thick skin?

Next, James began to think carefully, the show was over, he could sneak out through the back door with few people, and leave quietly. Before anyone noticed, he quickly found a place to change his clothes, and immediately became a good man again!

But Murphy's Law says: If you fear something will happen, then it is likely to happen.

James should still be very worried about bumping into acquaintances deep in his heart.

So, he bumped into an acquaintance—brother Linde.

Although I have long hesitated to tell my family about the band...

But it shouldn't be like this, right?

'Have the angels stopped watching over me? ' James himself was sad.

But between lightning and flint...

After thinking about it, he realized that this was a great thing: having a younger brother who sells singing must be more acceptable than having a younger brother who is a transvestite, right?

(Linde: ...)

So he cheered up optimistically again: 'Ha!ha!ha!The angel really still cares for me! '

—Thank you, Theo.

—Your gift in return was a goddamn help!

James smiled and opened his arms, with a calm and enthusiastic attitude: "Linde! Big brother! My dearest brother! Don't be afraid, and don't look shocked. Believe me, things are far from as bad as you think..."

Finally recovering from the fright, Lin De immediately took off his coat, ran over with long legs, and quickly and carefully wrapped up his bad brother: "But you only make things worse every time Worse, shut up your mouth! Jimmy, go home and talk about it!"
