      FIGHTING(4)

      CHAPTER 101 - OVERBURDENED

      Just as everyone was enjoying the delicious cake, Qin Fengge's phone suddenly rang. He quickly hid in a secluded place to pick up the call as a delicate and touching voice sounded from the other end of the phone, Brother, where are you? I have something to talk to you about!

      There was no need to ask. The caller was Qin Fengge's cousin, Qi Xuena. Qin Fengge was baffled. Why was this girl calling so late at night? He quickly asked, Nana, what's the matter?

      I haven't been able to find you in your school for a long time. Right now, you're at the public phone booth in front of the Oriental Tourism Academy. Are you going back to your school today? I don't have any place to live anymore …

      Hearing this, Qin Fengge guessed that her cousin probably ran away from home in a bad temper. She hurriedly warned her to not run around and told the Datong and Wang Shiyin to quickly return to the Eastern Tourism Academy last week.

      As soon as he got out of the car, Qin Fengge saw Qi Xuena. She was carrying a backpack and was wearing only a few clothes. Right now, she was squatting in the phone booth and shivering non-stop. Seeing this, Qin Fengge hurried over and took off her coat to put it over her. With concern, she asked, Nana, why aren't you going home so late? Why are there so many bad people around? Aren't you afraid of danger?

      Cousin, you're finally here … I... I'm afraid to go home because Mom and Dad and I... So I came to find you … It was hard to tell if it was the cold or the nervousness, but her words were incoherent.

      Why is that? Qin Fengge asked.

      Trembling, Qi Xuena said, Brother, can we talk about this in a warm place? I'm so cold …"

      Wang Shiyin said, Little Qin, a few days ago, there was a new 24-hour noodle shop. Why don't we go there first? I suppose you haven't eaten yet? The latter sentence was meant for Sheena.

      When she heard this, she nodded reluctantly.

      The four of them arrived at the noodle shop. It was already late at night, so the noodle restaurant was naturally empty. There was only one waiter sleeping on the table. The sound of Qin Fengge and the rest woke the waiter up. When he saw that there was a guest, he lazily stood up and greeted them.

      Not long after, two steaming hot bowls of ramen noodles were served. One was for Qi Xuena and the other was for Zhou Datong. Zhou Datong endured the mockery of the two as he quickly finished the noodles and drank the bowl of broth. He then patted his stomach in satisfaction.

      As she ate, she sized up Zhou Datong and could not help but mock him, Big brother Datong, I haven't seen you in a few months, how can you still eat so much? And you've even gained a lot of weight. Look at your stomach, it's almost turning into a ball!"

      Zhou Datong wiped his mouth roughly with his sleeve, saying, Little girl, your mouth is getting more and more wicked. No wonder your parents don't want you. They left you on the streets!

      You … You hate it! When Qi Xuena heard this, she was so anxious that she threw her chopsticks at his face. Even Wang Shiyin secretly kicked Zhou Datong to shut him up.

      Qin Fengge hurriedly coaxed her sister, Good little sister, don't lower yourself to the same level as this damn fatty. When we get back, big brother will beat him for you. Oh right, why did you run away from home?

      After eating a bowl of ramen noodles, Qi Xuena felt much more comfortable as she explained the frustration in her heart, You guys don't know, my mom signed up for a lot of cram school, so I had to go to class every day after school, and I still have to write my homework at 9 pm. When I get home, I still have to finish my homework, and I can't finish it until 12 pm. Even at the end of the week, he couldn't find time to relax. Mathematics class, English class, composition class, almost all of these subjects were enrolled. Initially, he was still able to persevere, but as time went on, he became more and more annoyed. Thus, he decided to ignore those bullshit classes and instead went to his classmates' house to play after school every day. Who knew that the teacher in charge of the cram school had a sense of responsibility. He actually told my mother about me skipping class, so my mother scolded me without any hesitation. I felt that staying in this home would drive me crazy, so I didn't think too much and went out. I was in a hurry when I came out. I didn't bring any money or a coat, and the money I just made was given to me by a kind-hearted person.

      Silly girl, why didn't you call me earlier? Just standing at the school gates like that for such a long time?

      No need for that, I've been here for a long time. I didn't manage to find you in the school, so I thought that you must have gone to perform, so I waited for you at the school entrance to come back. I thought you would be back by 9 or 10 o'clock, but I didn't expect to see your shadow even after 12 o'clock. I couldn't stand the cold anymore and begged a passerby to give me a coin so I could call you …"

      Qin Fengge felt a lingering fear in her heart as she thought, A sixteen year old girl wearing such thin clothes is standing alone on the street. It would be strange if the bad guys would not be able to see that she had such evil intentions! Qin Fengge thought for a moment and said, How about this, I'll call your mother first and tell her not to worry, then I'll send you home.

      I'm not going back! I don't want to go back to that cage like home! " Qi Xuena grumbled willfully.

      Actually, Qin Fengge couldn't think of a better way because if he was the main character in this matter, he would choose to run away from home without hesitation. However, he didn't want his uncle and aunt to worry too much, so he decided to call first to inform them that he was safe. As for what he would do next, he had yet to make up his mind.

      Qin Fengge dialed her uncle's home number, and Zhang Lin's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, Nana, is that you? Where are you now?"

      Auntie, I'm Little Qin. Nana is safe with me right now. Don't worry.

      Oh, that's good, that's good, where are you guys? I told your uncle to pick her up. This child is very stubborn. He must have caused you trouble.

      No trouble, no trouble at all. After all, Nana is my cousin. Also, don't let Uncle out of the house. Nana is staying with me tonight, and I will properly enlighten her. However … Qin Fengge hesitated for a moment before lowering her voice, Aunt, say something that you shouldn't have said. Shouldn't you take this opportunity to think it over? To tell the truth, it was unfair to Nana to report so many cram schools.

      Little Qin, you don't know the pressure of competition in society right now. Without a good diploma, you are destined to be eliminated by this society in the future. It's not that aunt is ruthless, but that social reality has to be like this. You will understand this sooner or later."

      Qin Fengge suppressed her emotions and calmly said, Aunty, I don't want to judge or have the qualifications to judge whether what you say is true or not. Let the time be used to prove it. Since Nana doesn't want to go home right now, I will let her stay with me. You can be assured that I will take good care of her. "

      The person on the other end of the line sighed, Sigh, then you'll have to trouble yourself and help me persuade her to come back as soon as possible. Also, don't be late for school tomorrow. Get up in the morning and have a glass of milk and two eggs. Before going to school, he urged her to do some math problems, asked her to recite some English words on the way to school, and of course it would be better if he could do some simple dialogue with her in English. This would be very helpful in improving her oral English. And …"

      Auntie, my phone is out of battery, let's stop here … Qin Fengge quickly hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief.

      Qi Xuena pouted and complained, See, I was right, wasn't I? Cousin, you've only listened for a minute, and you can't take it anymore. But think about how I've endured these past few days. It's like hell on earth …"

      If Qin Fengge had previously thought that Qi Xuena's departure had some dou qi components, then now he completely understood his cousin's predicament. He didn't expect his cousin to have suppressed it for so long. If it had been him instead, he would have already broken down.

      Although Qin Fengge had successfully convinced her aunt to keep Qi Xuena by her side, she didn't know how to deal with her. Let's go to the hotel, her safety cannot be guaranteed; let's take her back to the dormitory, let's not talk about whether we can successfully sneak her into the dorm, even if we can sneak her into the dorm, where can she sleep? He couldn't possibly have a girl living in the same room with a few young men, right?

      At this moment, it was Wang Shiyin who solved Qin Fengge's problem. Little Qin, why don't you let her stay in our dorm. One of our sisters has been home for the past few days. Her bed has always been empty.

      Qin Fengge nodded. That's the only way. Then I'll leave it to you.

      CHAPTER 102 - SEXUALITY

      By the time he got back to school, the school gates were already closed. The only way to get back to the dormitory was to climb over the wall. Qin Fengge was already familiar with this sport. He took the others to a place where they could easily climb the wall.

      He first looked inside to make sure it was safe before waving to the rest of the people under the wall.

      Although Wang Shiyin and Qi Xuena were both girls, their bodies were still light, so it did not take them much effort to climb up the wall. Zhou Datong had really taken his life.

      Wang Shiyin wiped off her sweat. Phew, you're really fat. Hurry up and lose some weight. It's all thanks to us helping you this time. Otherwise, you'll have to sleep on the street tonight.

      Zhou Datong was panting heavily as he waved his fists in protest. Please don't joke about my weight in the future, otherwise …

      Before he could finish, Zhou Datong had lost his center of gravity. Luckily, his center of gravity was tilted towards the inside of the wall, otherwise he would have to climb up once again. Qi Xueran was delighted. She carefully climbed down the fence and said with a smile, Big Brother Pei-Tong, I didn't expect you to go down so fast with so much effort!

      Zhou Datong was truly ashamed of having made a fool of himself in front of so many people. Without saying a word, he crawled up and rubbed his aching butt, then limped off in the direction of his dorm.

      When they arrived at the dormitory area, Qin Fengge said, Vicky, I'll leave Nana in your care. Nana, you have to listen to this sister and don't give her any trouble, okay? And tomorrow morning, I'll send you to school. You're not allowed to sleep in!

      Cousin is getting long-winded as well … Qi Xuena shrugged impatiently and went upstairs with Wang Shiyin. Qin Fengge and Zhou Datong also tiptoed back to their respective dormitories.

      — —

      The next morning, Qin Fengge brought her cousin, Qi Xuena, to the latter's school. Before they left the dorm, Wang Shiyin generously lent her clothes to her. Although there was a slight difference in age between the two, they were about the same size and build.

      As soon as they got off the car, they saw Qi Jun standing by the bus stop, waiting for them to appear. Seeing that, Qi Xuena wanted to run away, but Qin Fengge held her hand and said, Na Na, don't worry, I will have a good talk with uncle. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, he has to care about his reputation after all.

      Qi Xueran felt that what he said made sense. She followed behind Qin Fengge, trembling with fear.

      Little Qin, Nana is too willful. Sorry for troubling you! Qi Jun first politely thanked Qin Fengge, then sternly said to Xue Na, This child is getting bolder and bolder. He dares to run away from home. It seems that I have to discipline you properly!

      Qi Jun waved his hand and was about to hit her, but Qin Fengge stopped him. Uncle, don't make things too difficult for our sister. Her classmates are watching by the side, so you don't want your daughter to lose face in school, right?

      Humph! Qi Jun angrily lowered his arm, What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go to school!

      Seeing this, Qi Xuena quickly ran away.

      Qin Fengge changed the topic and said, I wonder if uncle has the time right now? I want to talk to you.

      Qi Jun looked at his watch and said, Well, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? We'll talk while we eat.

      The two of them arrived at a breakfast stall not far away. Qin Fengge openly said, Uncle, actually, I wanted to say these things to you a long time ago. It's just that I never had the appropriate opportunity. You do not deny that Nana is your daughter and my cousin?

      Qi Jun did not understand. Yes, what is it?

      She is your biological daughter. Can you bear to see her work so hard every day?

      This is also a last resort, Qi Jun sighed, Little Qin, you don't know how difficult it is to get a job in Wuhan, if you can't get into a good university, it means that you won't have a good job in the future. I know Nana studies hard, but there's no other way.

      I don't agree with you, although studying is not a bad thing, but according to one's abilities, such as this soy milk bowl in front of you, it can only hold half a catty of soy milk, so you have to force yourself to pour a catty of soy milk in, what kind of phenomenon would happen? Yes, the excess soy milk flowed out. Learning is also a principle. When a person's endurance reaches the limit, no matter how hard they study, it is useless. Qin Fengge analyzed.

      Then what do you think we should do? You're just going to let her waste this great youth? "

      Qin Fengge shook her head, Of course not. What I mean is that you and Auntie should not give her so much pressure anymore. I've also taken those so-called tuition classes before, and most of them are just a front to collect money. Moreover, I don't think Nana is a child anymore. She definitely has her own plans for the future."

      What nonsense are you spouting! Qi Jun was negative on these points of view: Don't forget that you are just a child. How much have you experienced in this society? You know, without a diploma, you can't get a foothold in this society!

      Do you know why I came to Wuhan in the first place? My mother didn't agree with me at the time, but that was only one aspect of it, mainly because I felt she was giving me too many rules and regulations. Uncle, I'm your junior, so I'm not qualified to discuss these matters with you. However, since we've reached this point, Little Qin continued to speak in an offensive manner. Yes, we're teenagers, and we don't know as much about this society as you adults do, but we're human, and we don't want to live in bondage. Take her aunt, for example. She arranged her sister's daily affairs in a very orderly manner. The time she ate, the time she studied, and the time she rested were all on her mind. If you were Nana, would you find such a life interesting from her point of view? From the moment I was born, everything has been arranged by others. My daily task is to be controlled by other people's thoughts and lead an instrumental life. Even if I were to obtain a so-called diploma, what kind of happiness would there be in life?"

      Qi Jun thought about it for a moment, then said, "What you say is true. As parents, how could we not realize that we are imposing our will on her? But I said it was forced, which parent is not hoping for a son to become a dragon, hoping for a daughter to become a phoenix? We want Nana to be happy, but what is happiness? You should know that spiritual life is governed by physical life, and that without decent work and a steady income, there is no way to talk about it. I hope that one day you and Nana will understand our difficulties as parents. Even if we don't, as long as she can live a happy life, we will have no regrets.

      That's right, Qin Fengge continued, Material life is the foundation of spiritual life, but don't forget that everyone's understanding of happiness is different. As an adult, it is natural for you to use education, status, and wealth as the foundation for your spiritual life. Although I am already an adult, I know that I am still much younger than you, so I can understand some of what you have to say. However, Nana is still a child, so her concept of happiness is very simple. You can't treat a child with the eyes of an adult, just as we can't judge a grown-up's world with our own eyes. You are an adult and our elder. Naturally, you would look at us with your tinted glasses, thinking that we don't know anything and will never grow up. Actually, we understand everything, but we just don't want to communicate with you adults.

      Hearing this, Qi Jun had some doubts, Why aren't you willing to communicate with us?

      Qin Fengge laughed, Then I will say it in an offensive manner, because as parents, you never know how to respect the thoughts of your own children. Instead, you will force your own will upon your children, causing us juniors to gradually feel fear towards you. There was a song called The Owner of the Future, which I think you heard when you were young, and in it there was a particularly aptly written line: Don't think that our children are too young for them to understand anything. I heard wordless protests in their quiet sleep."

      CHAPTER 103 - NATURAL CONTROL

      After hearing Qin Fengge's heartfelt words, Qi Jun nodded thoughtfully, Looks like you've been thinking about this conversation for a long time. So what do you think we should do for Nana to be willing to go home?

      Qin Fengge laughed, It's very simple. Let her do what she likes, don't restrain her, and don't give her pressure. I know that Nana may be willful, but I believe that she is not an ignorant child. She has her own concept of right and wrong, and she should know what to do and what not to do.

      This is impossible! Qi Jun once again rejected, Nana is only sixteen years old, and many things are still not mature enough. She already knows to love to play, and if she continued to indulge in it, it will ruin the rest of her life!

      Qin Fengge helplessly shook her head. Why did you come back after talking for so long? Listen to me. I guarantee that Nana won't hold up on my studies and will instead improve even more. All in all, there are only four words: let nature take its course.

      Let nature take its course... Let nature take its course …"

      The Qi soldiers repeated the word again and again.

      Qin Fengge firmly said, That's right. Nana is currently at the age of rebellion. No matter how strict you are, she won't listen. It would be better to let it develop as it pleases, and not kill her personality or give her too many rules and regulations. I believe that one day, Nana will understand the painstaking efforts of both of you."

      Alright, Uncle will believe you this time. We've agreed that Nana will destroy her own future, and I won't forgive you! Qi Jun laughed and rebuked.

      Don't worry, Nana is a sensible child. She knows what to do. If Nana's attitude towards life does not satisfy you two elders in the future, you can settle the score with me! Qin Fengge promised.

      Then let's do as you say, Qi Jun looked at his watch and said, It's getting late, it's time for me to go to work. Help me persuade Nana to come home early and tell her that we'll consider giving her some freedom.

      "Uncle, you are really an enlightened parent. If my mother had been like this with you, I probably wouldn't have run away from home. Actually, no child would be willing to run away from home. It's all because of you parents … Haha, casually saying that it's harmless, Uncle, don't take it seriously. But to be honest, I really regret my actions back then. Actually, there should be a better solution to this matter.

      Qi Jun smiled, You little rascal, even I, your uncle, was persuaded by you. Alright, it's time for me to go to work, so you should go back to school. Although studying in university is not as intense as high school, you can't be too presumptuous.

      Got it, Uncle, be careful with the car. I'll take a bus back to school first. I'll pick up my sister after school and persuade her to come home, don't worry. "

      After school, Qin Fengge kept his promise and successfully persuaded his sister, Qi Xuena, to go home. Qi Jun was also not a person who would break his word. He obeyed his daughter's wishes and cut most of her classes. Qi Xuena was satisfied with the outcome of this matter. She had called several times to express her gratitude to her cousin, so there was no need to explain further.

      — —

      Qin Fengge and Wang Shiyin walked hand in hand in the school garden as they discussed something.

      Wang Shiyin said, Little Qin, it's almost the end of the year. Right now, the girls in our dorm are already discussing the New Year's party. Don't you want to perform a few small shows for your classmates?

      Me? A performance? Qin Fengge asked in puzzlement.

      Yeah, your guitar is so great, why don't you take the opportunity to show your hands to your classmates?

      Ah, this … Qin Fengge snickered as she looked at Wang Shiyin, I don't have a problem with that. Aren't you afraid that the other girls will crazily pursue me because of this?

      Tch! Don't be so self-centered. As long as I'm in this class, no one would dare to have any ill intentions towards you!

      Since we're going to perform, why don't we call it 'Last Week's Da Tong'? Why don't the three of us perform together? Qin Fengge asked.

      Please, this is a school, not a bar. You can't sing 'Another Brick' at a party!

      Qin Fengge made sense when she thought about it. If she had really sung this song at the party, it would be hard to say what kind of reaction the students would have. In any case, the teachers would definitely be angered to the point of having a heart attack.

      Alright, I'll go back and prepare. I'll definitely give everyone a surprise when the time comes! Qin Fengge solemnly vowed.

      In order to prepare for the New Year's party, Qin Fengge went to Yu Guannan and borrowed a microphone, a high-fidelity microphone, and a high-powered speakers — the classroom was wide and wide, so the low-power speakers in Qin Fengge's dorm room might not be enough.

      On the eve of the New Year's party, the classrooms had already been beautifully decorated by the enthusiastic girls. As the Eastern Tourism Academy was in its prime, the decorations of the classrooms were more feminine. On the morning of the 31st, with the help of Wanchuan and Ning Xiaotao, Qin Fengge moved the loudspeaker into the classroom. Immediately, it piqued the curiosity of most of the girls in the class.

      The party had begun. Everyone was enthusiastically performing on stage, but most of the shows were boring. Other than poetry recitation, there was also a talk show in English. The only highlight was the few girls dancing in the streets. Qin Fengge smiled helplessly. If he had known earlier that the party's show was so boring, he wouldn't have agreed to Wang Shiyin's performance at the party. Since he had already agreed, he could only bite the bullet and go onstage.

      After a funny skit, Qin Fengge was ready to perform. He first cleared his throat in front of the microphone, pretending to have a magnetic voice as he said calmly, Lady Ladiesand Lady Ladiesand Lady, Ladies and Ladies …

      Just as he said this, laughter burst forth from the bottom of his mouth along with the protests of a few boys.

      ... The performance of Mr. Qin Fengge, a well-known literary and artistic worker and popular music artist in Wuhan City, is about to begin. Would you like to hear it? Or would you like to hear it? "

      The laughter became even louder, and Wang Shiyin held her stomach, urging her, Hurry up and perform! He can brag about his wealth!"

      Qin Fengge stopped her banter and fiddled with the zither strings — as she had already tuned the notes beforehand, she would be able to immediately start her performance. Before the performance, Qin Fengge introduced everyone seriously, First, I'll bring you all a classic guitarist — Canon.

      In fact, many people have misunderstood that Canon is not the name of the song, but a musical style, literally meaning Rotary, originally meaning Regular, which refers to a kind of writing technique of polyphonic music. Simply put, there were several melodies that appeared successively, intersecting each other, mimicking and following each other, giving off a feeling of continuity. The tune of one part pursues the other all the way until it finally merges, as if two people will never be separated from each other …

      After the song ended, most of the students expressed that they were not satisfied and asked Qin Fengge to play another song. Wang Shiyin chimed in from below, Little Qin, don't play all the time. Sing one for everyone!

      Qin Fengge thought for a moment and said, Since everyone is so enthusiastic, then I won't refuse … Well, I'm going to play another classic English song, Letitbe!

      Before he could finish his sentence, applause rang out everywhere.

      As we all know, Letitbe is a well-known piece of music for the Beatles. The Beatles may be the only band that no one else can surpass, because many of their works are classic. This Letitbe is a late piece of the band, and it is also a kind of insight into the philosophy of the person after they have gone through a lot of ups and downs. All in all, this Letitbe gave a lot of inspiration and thought to later generations, and someone was even willing to raise it to the level of faith to worship.

      Qin Fengge naturally had his own understanding of this song. As he played the guitar, he sang with deep emotion:

      'When I find myself in a state of distress,

      She came up to me and showed me the way,

      Keep it natural...

      When I was in the dark of space and time,

      She stood in front of me, guiding me,

      Keep it natural...

      All the sad people who live in this world,

      there's going to be an answer, there's going to be an answer,

      Keep it natural...

      Even if they are going to be separated,

      They still have a chance to see an answer,

      Keep it natural...

      There was still light in the cloudy night sky.

      It shines on me until tomorrow,

      Let nature take its course...

      CHAPTER 104 - PUNK SPIRIT

      Humans always think that they are the masters of this planet, so they set down the so-called century, the so-called millennia. On this shining night, with a wild, mad ecstasy of indulgent smiles and morbid joys, the fate of the gods despised them on the far side of the clouds, the folly of men, and the ignorance of men. Two thousand years was just a meaningless symbol, and the world did not change because of this. People still skipped school, worked overtime, washed clothes, cooked food. The millennium was nothing more than a ridiculous scene by some self-righteous clown director.

      The millennium, for Qin Fengge and others, has no meaning at all. As usual, the slapping band is still active in the bars and venues of Wuhan, bringing joy to people with its own music while at the same time carrying a small amount of money. Although Qin Fengge did not care about the small amount of money earned from performing, it did not mean that he could tolerate others deducting his own acting expenses. After a performance, Qin Fengge and the organizers had a dispute.

      Didn't you say that you would give a band a hundred? Why did you change it to fifty? Qin Fengge questioned the owner of the bar.

      There's nothing we can do about it. There are so few guests today, we can't even collect the costs. It would be good enough if we could give you a performance fee! The owner said in a rather awkward tone.

      That won't do. The acting fees were already agreed upon before the performance. It doesn't matter if you earn or lose money. You have to guarantee our fees.

      The owner of the bar quickly said with a smile, Bro, I'm so sorry. How about this, next time you guys come back for a performance, I'll definitely pay you guys in full. You must also understand that it's not easy to do a performance this year.

      Stop pretending to be pitiful with me, Qin Fengge said without mercy, "We can't afford to spend even a single cent on the performance. This is not a matter of money or not, it's a matter of face for our band.

      Wang Shiyin quickly pulled at Qin Fengge. Little Qin, forget it. Don't hurt our relationship because of the fifty yuan.

      Vicky, you don't understand. This is a matter of principle, we can't back down!

      Hearing Qin Fengge's words, the bar owner's face couldn't hold back anymore. Brat, I'm just being polite because you're from the 'Energies'. Take the money and get the hell out of here, don't be a fool!

      With that, he threw a fifty yuan note on the table, silently gesturing to the few waiters at the bar who, seeing the situation, quickly put down their work and gathered around. Qin Fengge and Zhou Datong did not dare to be negligent as they surveyed the people around them.

      Wang Shiyin felt that the atmosphere was not right and quickly took the money from the table and packed up her musical instrument. She forcefully dragged Qin Fengge and Zhou Datong and left the bar in a sorry state.

      It was already winter and the moon at this time of the year. The bone-piercing cold wind mixed with bits of snowflakes hit Wang Shiyin's body, causing her to involuntarily shiver.

      With such a small amount of money, it's not even enough for a single round of wine! Zhou Datong kept rubbing his hands in the cold.

      Yeah, that guy is too unreliable. He agreed to give me a hundred, but in the end, he gave me fifty. You too, why are you dragging us so hard? I really want to fight them and vent my anger! " It was obvious that the latter part of the sentence was said by Qin Fengge to the person in his embrace.

      Wang Shiyin said sullenly, You guys only know how to stir up trouble all day long. We're not kids anymore, so there's no need to fuss about this sort of thing. Besides, we're all students, so playing band is just an amateur pastime. We're not living on this, so what's wrong with living on less money. Yet, you almost fought with him over fifty yuan. Aren't you being a little too stingy? "

      Vicky, it looks like I've corrected your view. First, it's not a matter of money. Think about it, if it gets out, where are we going to perform and not get bullied? Second, even though we are still students, the band needs to develop eventually. We need to sign up for a record company, produce a record, and finally embark on the path of a professional musician. So doing a band is not just to pass the time, but to accumulate experience. Third, since we are a punk band, we should always maintain our rebellious minds. punk will not compromise!" Qin Fengge said firmly.

      Ha! Wang Shiyin laughed contemptuously, Is this what you think? Well, I'll tell you what I think. First of all, did you see that one of the bands we played with got a full fee? It's common for underground shows to have their acting fees deducted, and no one else will look down on you for that. Second, do you really think we can rely on rock and roll to support ourselves? Your idea is too naive. In the entire world, there are only a handful of punks who can rely on music to support themselves. Do you think we have the ability or potential to do so? No matter what you think, I'm not going to do this for the rest of my life. Third, there is one thing I've wanted to say to you for a long time. Although you've listened to punk music for so many years, you've always had a misconception about punk spirit. You think punk is rebellion, cynicism, maverick. Punk is not some kind of paper-based thought, it is embodied in actual action, cynicism is only a means, and peace, fraternity, equality and freedom are the ultimate goals of Punk.

      Wang Shiyin's long narration stunned Qin and Tuesdays, especially Zhou Datong. This was the first time he had heard Wang Shiyin utter such a long narration and he felt it was inconceivable.

      Qin Fengge asked, Since you don't plan to play rock and roll for the rest of your life, what do you plan to do in the future?

      Not yet. Although I don't want to spend my life in this marginalized circle, that doesn't mean that I will live a monotonous life like them. Wang Shiyin pointed to an office building across the road and continued, In fact, the future is uncertain. No one can accurately predict their future, but no matter where I go or what kind of work I do in the future, I will definitely put freedom first.

      Qin Fengge also had her own unique insight: Recently, I've been studying the famous novel Kailuark wrote, On the Road, and I've been captivated by the plot of the novel. Actually, we're like one living character after another in this book, and our future will only have one answer, and that is' on the road '. On the road, it was not only a peaceful state, but also a wonderful state of mind! I long for the day when I can carry my guitar and bag and leave the bustling city, drifting and singing at the same time.

      How romantic … Scenes of moving scenes appeared in Wang Shiyin's mind, If one day you really plan to do this, I will follow you!

      Zhou Datong, who had not spoken for a long time, interrupted, The two of you are really strange. Just a moment ago, they were arguing until their ears were red, and now they are happily thinking about the future. Ai … Humans are really fickle animals …

      These words made Wang Shiyin laugh. Damn fatty, you should return to Mars. Earth is very dangerous... Oh right, don't you have any plans for the future?

      Zhou Datong thought for a moment and said, Actually, I've had some ideas recently, but they're a bit unrealistic. If I say so, don't laugh at me … I want to start a rock school if I can. "

      Rock school? Both Qin and Wang said in surprise.

      Yeah, a rock school. Zhou explained further: Although some music colleges or art schools have already opened guitar and percussion majors, I think those things are not very standard. And right now, most of the outstanding rock musicians in China and the rest of the world have never been trained in a proper university. They have to rely on their own teachers or their teachers to impart their knowledge on their own, so they can only rely on hearsay and others to understand the history and philosophy behind the scenes. Rock 'n' roll is not like pop music, it has a variety of styles, and can't wait for every band to have different styles. This kind of phenomenon looks like a myriad of flowers blooming together, but the effect will only be the opposite. If we want rock 'roll to develop formally, we should make its music type regular.

      CHAPTER 105 - HAVE A GOOD TIME(1)

      Qin Fengge nodded in agreement. Yes, although music requires creativity, that doesn't mean you can disobey its rules and do whatever you want. Now that some people have come up with some nonsensical music under the banner of innovation, they have begun to claim to be the founders of certain types of music, such as' agricultural metals', 'jazz goth', 'post-wave', and so on. It's simply hilarious.

      Zhou added: What is more important is that I think rock music should have a standard hierarchy. Although rock 'n' roll could not be compared to folk music or classical music with a long history, it should have its own set of standards. There should be levels for actors, levels for pianists, and even levels for cooks. I believe that in the near future, rock and roll will become a common profession like lawyers, doctors or bank clerks, and the threshold for entry into that profession is the qualification certificate.

      Wang Shiyin said thoughtfully, This idea of yours is very bold and far-sighted. The only flaw is that it is too difficult to realize, but I still admire you!

      Thank you! Zhou Datong bowed like a gentleman on purpose. He felt a little awkward in making such a graceful gesture.

      Amidst everyone's carefree conversation, Qin Fengge quickly forgot about her previous displeasure. However, at this moment, he thought of another matter. Oh right, Wu Dahai will be discharged in a few days.

      Really? Wang Shiyin blinked, Yesterday, I received a call from the rehab center. They said that Tao Shan's addiction is completely gone. They wanted me to pick her up in a few days. Let's take this opportunity to get together! "

      It's such a good thing to have a party. A party is a must! How about this, I'll take care of Wu Dahai, you take care of Tao Shan Shan, as for you, Fatty … Find a comfortable restaurant near the school and book a room.

      Hey! Don't worry, I've already eaten all the restaurants near the school. I know what I'm doing! Zhou Datong said as he patted his stomach.

      — —

      Tower Place was the name of a restaurant, a famous seafood restaurant located near the Oriental Tourism Academy. The reason why the restaurant owner had such an inconceivable name was because of his experience. It was said that the owner of this restaurant was a mariner who wandered the seas all year round and had special feelings for life at sea. As everyone knew, there were three holy places in the sailor's mind: lighthouse, dock, and land. So the boss took a word from each of these three terms to make the name of the restaurant. Although the name of the restaurant was somewhat indecent, it did not mean that the dishes in the restaurant were crude. In fact, this restaurant mainly dealt in seafood, and the ingredients were all directly flown in from the harbor, ensuring a fresh taste and a affordable price.

      Although it was not a weekend, the restaurant was already packed full of people. In one of the private rooms sat three youths chatting happily. They were Qin Fengge, Zhou Datong, and Wu Dahai. At this time, Zhou Datong was idly playing with the chopsticks in his hand, complaining, When are they coming? I'm hungry.

      How do you only know how to eat? Everyone's not here yet! Oh right, Hai Yang, did you not call Sun Yingqi over? Qin Fengge asked.

      Wu Dahai shook his head, Yes, but he can't come because he has something to attend to. To be honest, Yingqi is quite a good bro. If it wasn't for him frequently coming to the hospital to help me with my homework, my progress in studying would have definitely slowed down.

      Then what about Zheng Xiaochun? Is he coming too? Zhou Datong hurriedly asked.

      Zheng Xiaoqiu will be here later. He just called me. Qin Fengge said.

      This' big 'guy knows how to put on airs. Did he say what he was going to do?

      Qin Fengge thought for a moment and said, No, he just said that he would arrive a little later, so we don't have to wait for him.

      While talking, the door to the private room opened. Wang Shiyin apologized, Sorry everyone, we were late … Shan Shan, why are you standing in the doorway? Come on in! We're all friends, so don't be so formal. "

      Tao Shanshan was wearing a red down jacket as she stood in front of the door, looking a little shy.

      After months of rehabilitation, not only had Tao Shanshan managed to get rid of her drug addiction, but her mental appearance had also undergone a tremendous change. Her healthy diet and adequate sleep in the rehab center had significantly improved her complexion and even her figure was no longer that thin.

      Quick... Please sit down! Qin Fengge stood up in panic and greeted him.

      Tao Shanshan did not sit on the chair, but walked in front of Qin Fengge and said excitedly, Little Qin, thank you very much for your help. You gave me a new life. I … I …"

      Tao Shan Shan's emotions rose very quickly. She couldn't continue to speak, so she just knelt on the ground. Seeing this, Qin Fengge hurried forward to help him up. She smiled, Seeing that you have recovered, we are all very happy. From today onwards, we are good friends. There is no need to be so polite. Actually, you should be grateful to Vicky. If it wasn't for her persistence, we might not be having such a happy time together today.

      Wang Shiyin took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe away the tears on Tao Shanshan's face. She comforted her, Shanshan, stop crying. Everything is over. You should be happy!

      Tao Shanshan's tears turned into a smile, and a pair of sweet dimples immediately appeared on her pink face, looking especially lovely in the light of her white teeth. Facing such a sweet smile, Qin Fengge couldn't help but be stunned. He had met Tao Shanshan twice before, but at this moment, he couldn't connect the healthy and cute girl in front of him with the emaciated and dirty Sister Bai.

      After Tao Shan calmed down a bit, she asked, Will Zheng Xiaochun not come today?

      Qin Fengge said, Today, he …

      He has other things to do today, so he shouldn't be coming! Wang Shiyin interrupted Qin Fengge and joked with Tao Shanshan.

      Oh … She lowered her head in disappointment.

      Wang Shiyin held back her laughter and continued to tease him, Shan Shan, why are you unhappy? Is it because the one you love isn't here?

      Tao Shanshan nodded subconsciously, but quickly shook her head in panic. This action allowed everyone to see some clues, and they all let out weird laughter.

      Vicky, you're so annoying … Tao Shanshan complained as she stomped her feet.

      Alright, alright. Qin Fengge answered with the correct answer, Xiao Qiu indeed has some matters to attend to, but he will still be here today. It's just that it'll be a bit late, so you shouldn't be too concerned.

      After hearing Qin Fengge's words, Tao Yanshan felt relieved. She pretended as if nothing had happened and said, Don't misunderstand, I just want to thank him personally.

      Everyone looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

      Zhou Datong suggested, Everyone is hungry, right? How about we talk while we eat?

      Tsk ~ Wang Shiyin rolled her eyes at him. If you're hungry, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush like that.

      Zhou Datong was not a person who did not know how to fight. He knew that Wang Shiyin's words meant that she agreed. He quickly took the menu and instructed the waiter to order some dishes. After a while, the dishes were all served. Qin Fengge stood up and greeted, We men drink plain wine, what do you girls drink? Coke or orange juice?

      Wang and Tao chose the latter simultaneously. Qin Fengge opened up two bottles of orange juice and handed them over to the two girls. Tao Shanshan took the orange juice and thanked him, then asked in surprise, Are we not waiting for Zheng Xiaoqiu?

      Tsk tsk, you really care about him! Don't worry, we won't let him eat leftovers when he orders new dishes when he comes!" Wang Shiyin giggled.

      Who … Who cares about him! It would be rude to start eating before the others arrive," explained Tao Shanshan, blushing.

      Zhou Datong could not wait to pick up a large piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He mumbled, Hmm … Xiao Qiu and I are iron-buddies, we can even wear the same pair of pants if we're made of iron. What are you being rude to me?

      Tao Shan was amused. Your metaphor is too inappropriate. I don't believe you can wear Xiao Qiu's pants. With your waist, you should be richer than me and Zheng Xiao Qiu combined.

      CHAPTER 106 - HAVE A GOOD TIME(2)

      Zhou Datong did not get angry at Tao Shan's words. In fact, he was in a good mood during dinner. He took a sip of his white wine and replied, Yes yes yes, how can I wear the same pants as him? You two should be wearing pants!

      Damn it, why are you so poor? So many dishes still can't stop your mouth! " Tao Shan scolded.

      After a brief exchange of words, the barrier between Tao Shanshan and the others quickly disappeared. As she ate, she would glance at her watch, thinking to herself, Why isn't Zheng Xiaoqiu here yet? Did something happen on the way? However, her conjecture was quickly overturned when Zheng Xiaoqiu pushed open the door. Zheng Xiaoqiu smiled at the crowd and said, I'm really sorry. There are some matters that I have to take care of, so I came late.

      Cut the crap, punish yourself with three cups of wine! Zhou Datong stood up shakily with the wine bottle in his hand.

      Zheng Xiaoqiu took the bottle of wine without hesitation and said boldly, Pouring one glass of wine after another is too troublesome. There isn't much left in this bottle. Why not drink it all in one go?

      With that, Zheng Xiaoqiu tilted his head and poured the liquid from the bottle into his throat, as if it contained not wine but boiled water. After finishing the wine, Zheng Xiaoqiu turned the bottle upside down, winning
