Chapter 25

The Hong family mansion.

Screech!

The obscure, grating music was like bullet after bullet, accurately drilling into the ears of the sleeping Jiang Xia,

He instinctively covered his ears, but found that his sensitive ears were of no use.

Jiang Xia couldn't block out this grinding-like sound, and his original drowsiness had already disappeared,

He was about to raise his hand to use an attack to eliminate that noise, but suddenly realized something in his mind, his eyes snapped open, seeing the energy ball already gathered in his right hand, his heart jolted with fear.

Huh!

Fully awake, Jiang Xia could hear the noise from downstairs more clearly,

He casually squeezed the energy ball in his hand, crushing it like clay, making the attack disappear.

His band now has only him left; otherwise, how could even a beginner like Hong Du be accepted?

Meanwhile, Hong Du and Ma Sheng Hui sat on the lawn, looking at Jinli Jianwu with his hands raised high, and they exchanged a smile.

"However, why did he suddenly start playing the guitar?"

"Here." Hong Du took Ma Sheng Hui's hand and they ran toward Jinli Jianwu together.

"Hmm, I'm the guitarist. Besides, this is our newly acquainted friend, Jinli Jianwu. He's also the band's bassist."

"Hong Du, Hong Du." Jinli Jianwu waved his hand.

The grating notes seemed endless, matching those excited eyes, the whole house seemed to fall into panic.

Besides, Da Cun Wunan's ending was already considered good—at least he wasn't killed in one blow by ixa.

"Teach that woman? No way." Ye Cun Jing Xiang looked at Hong Du in front of her with an angry face.

Hong Du sat excitedly in the chair downstairs, holding a guitar, his right hand ruthlessly sweeping across the strings,

"By the way, how's your teacher?" Jiang Xia glanced at the excited Hong Du, as if asking casually.

Hong Du merely gave an embarrassed smile, saying nothing more.

"His teacher... because of multiple assault cases, has to serve seven years in prison."

As his thoughts churned, Jiang Xia quickly left the room, unable to bear the noisy sound any longer,

Just thinking that Hong Du would become a stranger to her in the future sent a chill through her heart.

The reason he dare not look is because this matter was his plan, and moreover his teacher will soon break out of prison.

Bringing up the previous incident, Ma Sheng Hui still feels a bit resentful.

"Hmm, it's not bad, but we still need more practice." Jiang Xia pursed his lips and continued:

"Yes, the band is now complete!" Jinli Jianwu raised both hands and shouted loudly.

"I know Jing Xiang can play drums, and there are still a few days; let her teach you." Hong Du said gently.

"It's fine, as for the drummer, I actually have a candidate." Hong Du confidently looked at Jinli Jianwu.

"It's fine, why do you seem distracted?" Jinli Jianwu looked at Hong Du and said.

"Ugh uh uh."

"Great, we now have two people, we still need to find a drummer." Jinli Jianwu excitedly seemed about to jump up.

Meanwhile, Jinli Jianwu beside him closed his eyes tightly, lifted his left leg, and tried hard to keep up with Hong Du's beat.

He really couldn't get used to this rapid-fire way of speaking.

He could only make the Ee-ee ah-ah sound with his mouth, reluctantly agreeing.

"But then she thought, if she didn't agree, would Xiao Du be very disappointed and then ignore her from now on? No no no!"

Hearing Hong Du play the guitar, the already unusable Jinli Jianwu showed a faint smile, "Awesome!"

"Ye Cun Jing Xiang, she's the little girl who's always been by your side, the one who suddenly appeared last time?"

Compared to Hong Du's violin playing, this guitar's sound is like polluting his ears.

"What are you two doing? Now start preparing to practice!"

Hong Du's tone visibly dropped instantly, "But the teacher promised me that after his release he will teach me violin making."

Hong Du probably won't be able to wait for Da Cun Wunan to make violins together with him.

"I want to be the drummer!" Ma Sheng Hui looked in surprise at Hong Du holding the guitar in front of her.

Ma Sheng Hui playfully stuck out her tongue.

So I asked her to teach you drumming; you should be able to make it in time for the concert.

Speaking, he/she stood up directly, grabbed Hong Du's shoulder, and excitedly said, "I was shocked, Ah Du, you're simply a genius."

Just looking at this outfit, one can tell it's for playing rock, but unfortunately,

Afterwards, Hong Du directly bowed 90 degrees towards Nomura Shizuka.

The kival beside couldn't bear to watch anymore, covered his/her face and fled quickly from here.

"It's possible, but I haven't played drums in a long time." Looking at Hong Du's serious expression, she couldn't bear to refuse.

"Don't make trouble, Shizuka, Xiao Hui is a nice person; we're about to hold a concert and need your strength, please."

Jinli Jianwu kept waving his arms, shouting loudly at Hong Du and Ma Sheng Hui from afar.

"That's good." Saying this, Jiang Xia turned away, not looking at Hong Du's eyes.

His hair was dyed yellow-black; the yellow part, long hair, directly covered half of his face,

On the exposed ear was a white ear stud; wearing a head-to-toe black leather outfit, the whole person exuded rock vibe.

Nomura Shizuka gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and the anger in her heart seemed about to explode.

"Shizuka didn't mean any harm; last time it was because I got hurt that she reacted like that." Hong Du laughed and cried while explaining to Ma Sheng Hui.

"Really? Let's go find them quickly, the concert is about to start, I'm so excited!" Jinli Jianwu rubbed his hands, grabbed Hong Du's shoulder firmly, and said.

……

The talkative Jinli Jianwu directly made the originally quiet Hong Du shut his mouth,

Inside a warehouse stuffed with discarded items, Hong Du was striving to make the instrument in his hand produce the sound he wanted.

He is about the same age as Hong Du, but his style is vastly different from Hong Du's, who looks like a well-behaved child.

"I met a rock musician on my way to see the teacher; he played really well." Hong Du said in surprise and delight.

"Alright, seeing that you begged me, I agreed, but I also want to go to your concert!"

Jinli Jianwu kept urging: "Hong Du, want to form a band with me? The concert is about to start—how about it? Promise me, okay…"

He struck a rock pose, and at the same time, with an expectant look, he gazed at Jiang Xia beside him.

"Xiao Du, I need to find a drum teacher; I've practically forgotten how, sorry."

"Damn, what magic does that woman have, actually making Xiao Du so willingly do this?"

"Mr. Jiang Xia, I played pretty well, huh!" Hong Du stood up excitedly,

"Hong Du, when did you start going the rock route?" Jiang Xia, arms bent, hands clasped over chest, leaning against the nearby staircase, looked at the guitar at Hong Du's waist.

Upon hearing that they were still missing one person, a figure flashed through Hong Du's mind, and he muttered, "I don't know if she can play drums."

"Jing Xiang is my student; I taught her violin, and she also plays drums quite well."

"Ah!" Hong Du was suddenly startled.

Ye Cun Jing Xiang raised her delicate forehead, pursed her lips, and said.

"Of course, you're my best friend!" Hong Du laughed.
