Just like that, they didn't have much time to make things worse. Now that they couldn't practice at night, their band was once again under threat. However, they didn't give up. They left early and returned late to squeeze out time to persevere on this dream.
Time flew like an arrow. A month passed in the blink of an eye. The day of the competition was getting closer and closer, and the children were getting older and older. However, they did not back down. For the sake of brotherhood, for the sake of their parents 'love, and for the sake of their pursuit of their dreams, they had to walk the last stretch of the road and win it.
On the day before the competition, there was a young man in a hurry under the sun. This young man was still exposed to the sun with his wheat bran skin and well-defined facial features. The biggest change was that he no longer had a bald head. Instead, he had grown a head of thick hair, which made his image rise to another level. This young man was cool. He hadn't cut his hair for a month to perform, and he had even been severely punished by Miejue for this, but he felt that it was worth it.
The door of the hut on the sunny road was opened.
"Why are they looking for you?" Edward asked anxiously. Everyone was also waiting for this answer. They didn't know why the organizers in the square had suddenly called Liang Liang over.
"They told me that they were going to rehearse tonight.”Liang Liang immediately replied.
"What?" Edward doubted his ears." Isn't the official performance only tomorrow?”
"Yes, but they made a last-minute decision to rehearse tonight.”Liang Liang expressed that she was also very helpless about this result.
"Then we weren't prepared at all.”Xiao Shi complained as he played with his drumsticks.
"Even so, we still have to go. Not only do we have to go, but we also have to act well. Today's performance will have a great impact on the judges.”Gao Fengliang said decisively.
"Liangzi is right, let's get ready to go to the square.”He ordered coldly like a leader.
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to bury himself in the preparation work. Liangzi also started to get busy. Only Edward and Xiao Shi were left there in a daze, unable to accept this sudden accident.
"Are you nervous about going on stage later?”Edward's heart began to beat irregularly.
"It's alright. I want to show off in front of Qin Wen.”Xiao Shi said unconfidently.
"You still have Qin Wen. I don't even know if Dai Mengni can watch our performance.”As he spoke, Edward's eyes could not help but reveal despair. He habitually looked at his guitar because it had the note of encouragement that Dai Mengni had given him. He did not bear to throw it away and stuck it to his guitar instead. When he was bitter, tired, or nervous, he would read this note because he could find confidence on this note.
"Alright, alright, stop chatting. Hurry up and help. It's about to start.”Leng Liang urged.
"Got it." Edward nodded and immediately got back to work.
Half an hour later, the four of them arrived at the square with the sound of a taxi. With the help of the staff, they arranged the instruments and other things in a short time.
The square in the summer was really a good place to relax. It was densely packed with pedestrians, and there were even more people gathered in front of the stage to watch the performance. The citizens loved this kind of performance that was close to them and did not charge tickets. However, a few important people were missing in this dense crowd. Sophie and Qin Wen were not around, let alone Dai Mengni. Because the news came too quickly, they did not have time to inform them. Besides Sophie, they did not have a phone, so they could only accept their fate. This made Boss Shi unhappy.
For the performance, other than the audience, there were only actors. There were quite a number of people waiting backstage, but they were about the same age as them. It seemed that there were also students and young people in society. They had different hairstyles and unique clothes. They were men and women. They let these brothers know that there were so many different people in their hometown.
"There are so many people. It's so stressful.”Xiao Shi was a little scared.
"You're scared if Qin Wen doesn't come. You'll be fine if she comes.”Edward mocked.
" Nonsense." As he spoke, Little Shi looked at the sky." If only it could rain today."”
"A jinx." Edward scolded him.
Just like that, as the two of them teased each other, a middle-aged man walked over. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes and looked like a manager.
"Uncle, please ask." Gao Fengliang suddenly said.
" What is it?" The man looked very busy.
"Why did you suddenly have a rehearsal?”Liangzi voiced out the question in the hearts of the four people.
"There are too many people who signed up. There are all kinds of people. This time, we'll rehearse first and see if those who don't work will be directly removed.”The man briefly explained the reason and left in a hurry.
The four of them felt an additional layer of pressure in their hearts. For a moment, they fell into deep thought. They didn't expect that there would be so many talented people in their hometown. As they thought, the host's clear voice was heard. The rehearsal had already begun. The four of them habitually touched their instruments, faintly worried about their performance.
The night sky today seemed unusual. It was so gray that there were no stars. The gloominess and gloominess just confirmed the state of mind of the four people at this time. They were eager to perform but afraid of failure. The contradiction was complicated and difficult to describe. However, the performances on the stage gave the four of them hope. The children on the stage were like clowns, dancing with all kinds of difficult moves or singing songs that were never in tune. There were even skits that made people cry to challenge the psychological limits of the audience.
"No wonder there's a rehearsal. These things can still go on stage.”Edward mocked.
"I knew it. Noelle has never been a place with outstanding people. How can there be so many talented people?”Liang Liang was also sneering.
"That's hard to say. This is just the beginning. What if there's a shocking performance later?”Liang Ziyi was always careful. He never underestimated his opponent.
"Shocking." Edward disdainfully repeated Liangzi's words." Then it's just us.
"You seem quite confident." Leng Liang teased.
"Of course." Edward looked at these programs that made people spew blood and suddenly felt confident in 'going north'.
"I just hope we can get on the field soon.”The little historian who had been silent for a long time said.
"Sooner or later, he will be our champion." Edward said confidently.
"Not necessarily." The one who spoke was a boy about the same age as them. He was wearing fat jeans and a big T-shirt that made people feel a little uncomfortable. There were five other boys around him who were dressed similarly. They looked like they were hip-hop dancers.
"You mean you can win the championship?”Edward asked.
"Of course." The kid who spoke seemed to be extremely arrogant.
"Don't be too arrogant." Edward was a little angry.
"I've been like this since I was born.”That kid didn't seem to be afraid at all.
"Crazy." Edward was about to get up when Gao Fengliang stopped him.
"What are you doing?" Edward was furious.
"If you want to compete on stage, what are you doing down there? If you fight, we'll be disqualified.”Liangzi's words suppressed the hot-blooded Edward.
"Liangzi is right. Don't mess things up at the critical moment.”Liang Liang immediately stopped him.
Finally, this wave of wind was suppressed. On the stage, there were still performances that challenged the limits of the masses. The judges did not know whether to laugh or cry. They all secretly sighed that the current 90s generation dared to perform, but they did not know how good they were.
As time ticked by, the number of people waiting in line decreased one by one, and the audience had almost left the stage. Slowly, only North, who was led by Liang Liang, and the break-dance troupe that Edward had quarreled with were left backstage. If these two programs couldn't make everyone's hearts beat faster, then this event would be considered a complete failure.
" Next up is the Dancing Dance Troupe from No.1 Middle School…" Hearing the host's desperate voice, the teenagers went onstage.
"So you're from No.1 Middle School. What kind of appearance can you have?”Edward said disdainfully.
"It's hard to say. Let's take our time." Liangzi seemed to have seen through their strength.
The same appearance brought about a different appearance. The dazzling movements, the tacit understanding, and the agile young figure caught the attention of the audience and the judges. No one expected that after experiencing a sea-like silence, it would now set off an earth-shattering tsunami and thunderous waves. The audience was excited, boiling, and even some people went crazy. Looking at the young figures, it was as if they brought the middle-aged man back to his former passion and gave his peers unlimited yearning for dance. Everyone was sighing, everyone was praising, and thunderous applause was cheering them on.
Looking at the audience's reaction and the difficult moves of the guys on the stage, the four brothers 'hearts were pounding. An invisible pressure once again surged into their hearts. The weather was getting darker and darker, just in time to verify their gray hearts.
"I didn't expect this."
"At least a few years of foundation."
"I've met my match." Liangzi, Xiao Shi, and Edward sighed with varying degrees of emotion.
Only Liang Liang was relatively calm and did not say a word. Just like that, he listened to the thunderous cheers of the audience until the end of their performance. The judges 'scores made him close to despair. All of them were above nine points, and there was even one full score. The average score was naturally the highest so far.
" The last to appear is the band from No. 3 High School,'North Tower'..." With the host's expectant voice, the four brothers slowly appeared.
Edward's heart was beating even faster. He kept looking at the note on his guitar and thinking about the encouragement from Damony to ease his nervousness. He was afraid of the boos and doubts from the audience because the few guys from No.1 Middle School gave them too much pressure.
However, the result was not as bad as he had imagined. The audience still welcomed them warmly because they were students from No. 3 High School, the best school in the county. The students here also benefited from it. Another reason was that they were dressed casually. Coupled with their cool Edward and bright appearance, they were born with a scholarly air. They met the standards of high school students and were liked by everyone.
With everyone's cheers, they began their performance…
The deep, euphemistic, and meaningful prelude of 'Boundless Sea and Sky' brought everyone back to the 1980s. Edward tried his best to control his hands and also observed everyone's expressions. He was surprised and a little stunned. No one believed that these children could replicate Beyond so perfectly and perform the instrument so flexibly and vividly.
Amidst everyone's astonishment, Liang Liang began to sing. His voice was deep, long, and penetrating. What was even rarer was that he was singing a Cantonese version. His long-lost voice and his unrestrained manner really did have some resemblance to Huang Jiaju. Edward, Xiao Shi, and Liang Zi also tried their best to follow his rhythm, each step deeper and more fascinating.
However, the audience below the stage did not shout like last time. They were all immersed in the beauty of the music. This song was the dream of too many people. Listening to the song, the middle-aged people thought of their youthful years, and the young people thought of their uncertain future. Just as everyone was deep in thought, their performance gradually came to an end. This was not an easy song, but the four brothers still completed it, and it was an outstanding completion. It seemed that it was true that it was the finale of the show. The original good things were all behind.
