Chapter Thirty-One: Fiery Youth

  Xiao Xiao and Lu Teng didn't drink much that night, basically they were all listening to Li Wei talking about his website plans.

  Xiao Xiao, as an old internet user, really feels that there are too many social networking sites nowadays. He himself often uses 7 or 8 of them. If he searches online, countless personal websites like Li Wei's will appear.

  However, most of the websites are very rough and unattractive, they are just following the trend. There is nothing attractive about them. It's good that Lei Wei has some ideas, at least there is a direction to strive for, it won't be empty.

  The three of them drank until after 9 o'clock, Li Wei settled the bill and returned to the No. 3 dormitory building of Nongda.

  In Dormitory Building No. 3, many students who had reported for registration came, and as they chatted, dialects from various places were heard from time to time, mixed together, which sounded quite interesting.

  After washing and dressing, classmates wore only shorts, freely shuttling back and forth between different dormitories, smoking, making friends and bonding.

  Xiao Xiao and the other two returned to 918, but Liu Yu had not come back yet. They didn't know where he went. Could it be that he really went to the Agricultural University TV station? Hmm, looks like he's a man of action.

  Li Wei drank five bottles of beer, which was a bit too much for him. He didn't expect to talk so much during dinner. Maybe he met someone who could listen to him. So he opened up and poured out his small dreams, feeling relieved. This was also a pleasant thing. After entering the dormitory, he climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.

  Xiao Xiao and Lu Teng were exhausted from doing too many things today, so they washed their bodies in the bathroom, bare-chested, wearing only their underpants, ready to sleep.

  At this time, someone knocked on the door of room 918.

  The door creaked open, and outside stood a boy, about 1.7 meters tall, with a bare chest and a rounded belly. On his left chest was a small tattoo of an old tiger. His hair was cut in a flat inch style, with two large sweeping eyebrows, a flat nose, and two eight-character whiskers.

  These two little mustaches are quite eye-catching and elegant.

  Blinking eyes, looking at the boy opposite, asking him what he wants to do?

  The little mustache on his face piled up with smiles, raised the square leather suitcase in his hand and said: "I am Wang Yong from room 916 next door. We are in the same class."

  Xiao Xiao realized that he was originally a classmate, and the small mustache on his lips was a symbol he designed for himself. However, looking at his pair of round and bright little eyes constantly turning around, she felt that he was somewhat too cunning.

  Wang Yong stared at Xiao Xiao's small skull pendant on her chest with his round eyes for a while, feeling that Xiao Xiao was very much to his taste. He pointed to the suitcase in his hand and asked, "Want to play mahjong?"

  Xiao Xiao never thought that Wang Yong would actually carry mahjong with him. Looking at his sharp eyes, they were indeed a pair of good eyes for playing mahjong.

  Xiao Xiao is very good at playing mahjong, but she's really tired now. The most important thing for her to do right now is to sleep. She turned around and asked Lu Feng, who had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, "Do you play mahjong?"

  Lu Teng would play mahjong, but he waved his hand, indicating that he was too tired.

  Xiao Xiao smiled apologetically at Wang Yong and said: "Not today, we're all tired. Let's do it another day. How old are you anyway?"

  When Wang Yong saw people with similar aspirations coming, he immediately became excited and said: "One block or two blocks, whoever points the cannon will give money, we'll all give it, our dormitory has no one to play."

  Xiao Xiao patted his shoulder and said it's okay for now, but not today. Some other day when you're free, let's play again.

  Wang Yong saw that he really couldn't play today, nodded and smiled, took out a good cigarette and handed it to Xiao Xiao, lit it for him, then picked up his bag and returned to room 916 next door.

  The wind was blowing gently with smoke, just about to close the door, when Liu Yu came back carrying his things.

  Liu Yu saw Xiao Xiao and Wang Yong talking, and then saw Wang Yong carrying a bag sneaking into 916. He went forward to ask Xiao Xiao who that person was.

  Xiao Xiao said that Wang Yong is a classmate and asked him to play mahjong, asking Liu Yu if he was interested and would join them for a few rounds when there's an opportunity.

  "Play mahjong?" Liu Yu looked surprised. He showed his dislike for it and also advised Xiao Xiao not to play, wasting her parents' money was one thing, but it would also disturb their classmates' rest.

  Xiao Xiao saw him immediately put two hats on himself, but with good intentions, didn't say anything. Helped him carry the things in and put them on his bed. Kindly asked him what he was doing earlier and why he only picked up his stuff now?

  Liu Yu climbed up the ladder to his bunk, tidied up his belongings and saw that Li Wei was already asleep on the opposite bed, so he didn't greet him. Suddenly, Xiao Xiao asked where he had gone, and he replied that he went to study.

  "What's there to learn?" Xiao Xiao thought, this Liu Yu has gone through three years of harsh high school and still hasn't learned enough? It's really "live till old, learn till old". He thought as he inserted the key into his dorm room door, jumped onto his bed, and fell asleep.

  So, all the people in the 918 dormitory were present. Lu Ting and Xiao Xiao were on the two beds on the right, with their heads facing each other. Li Wei and Liu Yu were on the two beds on the left, with their feet facing each other.

  Today, everyone was busy with their own enrollment procedures, which were relatively complicated, and they ran back and forth on campus several times, so they were all tired. The four of them lay in bed and soon fell asleep.

  The next morning, students in Building No. 3 were still sleeping soundly when the university's anthem suddenly rang out, with a lively rhythm that urged people to strive forward.

  Suddenly, a burst of curses came from Building No. 3, all cursing the school song. The curses in various dialects filled the corridors.

  Xiao Xiao lay on the bed, closed her eyes and cursed a line of the school song. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Feng's face almost touching hers, staring at her with wide eyes. His red hair was hanging down, almost poking into her eyes. The pores on both their faces were clearly visible.

  My god! What is he doing? Is he going to kiss himself?

  Xiao Xiao immediately sat up, his back against the cold wall of the dormitory, staring at Lu Feng sitting on his bed in terror, thinking that this old fart had hidden so deeply? He didn't expect that after passing through Huai Bei Square and Longshan Mountain Road, the two of them slept so close together until now.

  Lu Peng took out a cigarette, lit it, and used an empty mineral water bottle with the top cut off as an ashtray. He looked up at the dormitory roof, taking a fierce drag on his cigarette, surrounded by swirling smoke.

  Xiao Xiao swept a glance over the dormitory, and saw that Liu Yu's bed was already empty. His bedding was neatly folded, it seemed he had left before the school song. Looking again at Li Wei's bed, it was also empty, but Li Wei hadn't left the dormitory, he was sitting in front of his computer desk, wiping clean his laptop. He really took good care of his computer.

  Xiao Xiao shifted her gaze back to Lu Feng, who was sitting on his bed, looking at his red hair, and suddenly felt that he was both familiar and strange, and didn't understand what he wanted to do.

  "How much do you know about rock and roll?" Lu Feng stared at the small skull on Xiao Xiao's chest, blowing out a mouthful of thick smoke that covered Xiao Xiao's face.

  He was dazed and confused, his throat parched from the smoke. He wasn't a stranger to rock music. He had dug out many cassette tapes from his father's trunk, which were relatively classic in the history of domestic rock music. Such as Tang Dynasty, Black Panther, Compass, Baojia Street, etc. Of course, he also knew Cui Jian, Dou Wei, He Yong, Zhang Chu and so on. Over the years, he had listened to many classic songs. His favorite was still "Paradise" by Tang Dynasty, with the line: "Those fleeting beauties took me into a happy dreamland, but made me more and more accustomed to lying to beautiful eyes." It was simply awesome.

  Lu Peng listened to Xiao Xiao's account of his rock experience, flicked the ash from his cigarette and said: "Alright, that's enough. Let's form a band."

  "Band? I'm screwed." Xiao Xiao felt that he hadn't misheard, but he and the band had never interacted, let alone formed a band. How did Lu Feng invite him to form a band? He remembered that yesterday Li Wei said that Lu Feng used a microphone to hit an judge during the Sanqin Good Man competition. It seemed that he had formed a band before, and that band might still exist now, but he was no longer in it. However, in his heart, he always had the dream of forming a band.

  Forming a band is a cool thing, and if it's a cool thing, Xiao Moguai will do it. Moreover, since it was his brother's proposal, he should go all out for it.

  Xiao Xiao pulled out a cigarette from Lu Teng's cigarette case, lit it and took a drag, "Alright, the band is formed. What's my role?"

  Lu Feng saw that he was not afraid of the newcomer, and indeed did not misjudge him. He himself needed such a partner, so he said: "I watched your video on Zhi Zun, that wild chicken march is written by you, right?"

  Xiao Xiao never thought that he watched his own video, the wild chicken's song was actually made by himself using computer music software. Could it be that I let myself compose, ah, this won't do.

  "Form a band, you be the lead singer." Lu Peng asked Ye Ji to proceed with the song, but suddenly said he was interested in Xiao Xiao's vocals.

  Xiao Xiao was confident in himself, but when he heard that he had to be the lead singer, his throat suddenly tightened, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Unexpectedly, there was just a mouthful of thick smoke in his mouth, which went down into his stomach along with the saliva, and the thick smoke churned around inside his belly.

  Lu Peng saw Xiao Xiao's expression seemed to still have some hesitation, and immediately sat cross-legged in front of him, telling him about the band plan he had thought of last night.

  This band consists of three people. Xiao Xiao is the lead vocalist, responsible for shouting and mobilizing emotions, sweeping people's hearts like a machine gun. Lu Teng plays the lead guitar, responsible for creation and direction of the band's development, as well as guiding the band's soul. Xiang Bei plays the drums, born in the mountains, often chopping wood, with extremely powerful arms, the drumming effect is definitely shocking, he wants to shock the whole scene like an earthquake.

  Lu Peng said, with gestures and sparkling eyes, as if he had already returned to the stage, facing the audience, playing the guitar wildly, swinging his red hair, and being cool. Enjoying the worship of thousands of people below the stage, his style was all over the sky.

  Xiao Xiao was also brought into the performance by his words, holding a microphone and screaming wildly, pointing at the audience below, using his voice to blast the scene **, this is what he's best at. At that moment, he seemed to have returned to that supreme night, with passion surging.

  Xiao Xiao woke up from his fantasy, thinking that Lu Feng had used all three people he had gotten familiar with over the past few days, and it was truly seamless. But with his own blonde hair, Lu Feng's red hair, and Xiang Bei's black hair, this unique combination was absolutely one-of-a-kind, and it was hard to think of a name for it. Haha.

  But ideals are full, reality is bony. What about electric guitars and drum kits? He had looked online, and those two instruments would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. According to Lu Ting's meticulous attitude towards music and his idealized career, he would have to buy good ones. That would probably cost several tens of thousands of yuan. Although they could afford to spend a few dozen yuan on food and drinks when hanging out together, it was still a stretch for him as an ordinary student to come up with several tens of thousands of yuan.

  Lu Peng thought that the equipment aspect was indeed a difficult task, but at the beginning, second-hand equipment could be purchased. When there is free time, go to the market to turn around, and maybe you can find cheap goods.

  Xiao Xiao thought that if they bought new equipment, it would probably be ruined by the two rough hands of the northern players within two days. It's better to buy second-hand equipment and wait until everyone is familiar with it before buying new ones. But besides equipment, there's also the issue of a venue. If they really want to practice, they can't do it in the dormitory, right? As Liu Yu said, don't disturb the classmates' rest.

  Lu Peng told Xiao Xiao not to worry, as long as he was willing to agree to form a band, everything would be taken care of. As long as they got started, they could take it one step at a time and plan accordingly; after all, a living person couldn't let urine kill them.

  Xiao Xiao looked at his excited expression and knew he was going to take this seriously. He was also happy for him in his heart. As his friend, he would soon become his partner. He had to work hard to form this band, thinking of this, he asked: "There's one last question, what's the name of the band?"

  Lu Peng looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, flicking his cigarette butt out of the window along the balcony. "Isn't a name something that's already available?" he said. "What did you shout at the graduation ceremony of the Supreme Club?"

  "Fiery Youth?"

  "This one."
