[World 4] Chapter 97

　　Soon, many musicians gathered around to watch their performance.

　　When Su Lai saw so many people, he immediately became nervous.

　　He was not used to being watched, and his hands were shaking so he hit a few wrong beats.

　　After playing on the wrong beats, he reacted immediately and glanced at Jiang Mu, feeling a little guilty.

　　Of course Jiang Mu heard it. Her ears were better than anyone else present. She smiled encouragingly at Su Lai with gentle eyes and shook her head gently, which gave Su Lai great comfort.

　　Su Lai seemed to have more energy and played the drums even harder.

　　Jiang Mu cooperated with Su Lai and looked into his eyes. She smiled slightly and sped up her guitar playing, which made Su Lai gradually get excited.

　　Su Lai's whole body seemed to be glowing. He was just a small street lamp just now, but now he slowly turned into a small sun.

　　After Jiang Mu and Su Lai finished playing, the people around them applauded and rushed over to hug Jiang Mu and Su Lai.

　　"Okay, that's great."

　　"I didn't realize you were such a good drummer, Su Lai."

　　"Jiang Chen, the way you sing is totally different from the way you usually speak. It sounds so good!"

　　"Yes, Jiang Chen, you play the guitar so well. Did you compose this song yourself?"

　　The boys were crowded together, you climbed on my shoulders and I hugged your arms, without any taboos at all.

　　Jiang Mu was also hugged by a boy, and that boy was Chen Xicheng.

　　Chen Xicheng has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. He hugged Jiang Mu with a smile, "Jiang Chen, are you using falsetto? It sounds so good. It really touched my heart."

　　Jiang Mu was hugged tightly by him. Before she could say anything, she heard Chen Xicheng say, "Wow, Jiang Chen, are you wearing perfume? You smell so good."

　　Chen Xicheng came over and sniffed her neck and hair, then said hesitantly, "Hmm... it smells like peach."

　　Jiang Mu was stunned for a moment.

　　"Really? Maybe it's the smell of shower gel." Jiang Mu looked into Chen Xicheng's eyes.

　　Chen Xicheng is recognized as the king of dirty talk among these boys. He likes rap and often uses rap to express his love for other musicians. He often visits other dormitories.

　　He rubbed Jiang Mu, lay on her back, and started to talk dirty, "The peach scent on you is simply intoxicating my heart."

　　Jiang Mu couldn't help laughing when she heard that she sang rhythmically.

　　"Then I'll give you my shower gel."

　　Chen Xicheng said: "No, no, you are more suitable to have it"

　　Chen Xicheng is tall and looks feminine. If he uses shower gel with this scent, it would be too feminine.

　　His hair was also long and was often tied up with a rubber band.

　　"How come it suits me? I just bought it randomly." The bottle of shower gel that Jiang Mu was holding was indeed the one that the original owner was used to. It had the scent of milk peach, which was very light but indeed a bit sweet.

　　"Haha, I just think you are very suitable with it." Chen Xicheng patted Jiang Mu's head and said, "Hey, Jiang Chen, why are you so short? Don't you like drinking milk? You need to drink more milk to grow taller. I tell you, I am so tall because I drank two bottles of milk every day in high school, every day, and then I grew to 1.88 meters."

　　Jiang Mu was indeed a bit short, about 1.65 meters tall, and wore a pair of high-heeled shoes with a five-centimeter height-increasing pad in his shoes.

　　But even so, her height of 1.7 meters still looks particularly petite among these boys.

　　"I drink little, so is it useful for me to drink now?" Jiang Mu sighed with a regretful expression.

　　Chen Xicheng comforted her: "It works! It should work. I'll give you a bottle of my milk. I bought several cartons. I'm already so tall, so I'll drink less and give it to you."

　　Jiang Mu: "Really? You're so nice."

　　Jiang Mu hugged Chen Xicheng and held his hand, "I wish I could be as tall as you!"

　　Chen Xicheng smiled and said, "That's okay. It's not good to be too high."

　　Su Lai watched Jiang Mu and Chen Xicheng chatting happily from the side, looking a little lonely.

　　Until returning to the dormitory, Chen Xicheng was still playing in Su Lai and Jiang Mu's dormitory, looking at this and touching that, looking very curious, as if he had a good impression of Jiang Mu.

　　Su Lai felt unhappy and had little confidence.

　　He felt that he was not as good at talking and likable as Chen Xicheng. Maybe after playing with him, Jiang Mu would find him boring.

　　Su Lai was in a bad mood. He sat aside sullenly and didn't say a word.

　　When Chen Xicheng spoke to him, he didn't respond. He lowered his head to look at the music score and didn't pay much attention to Chen Xicheng.

　　Not until Chen Xicheng left did Jiang Mu walk behind him and hug Su Lai.

　　"What's wrong with Susu? He's frowning and looks unhappy."

　　Jiang Mu's hands were on him, and their faces were almost touching.

　　Su Lai could also smell the peach scent on Jiang Mu, which was particularly sweet, with a slight milky aroma.

　　Su Lai turned his head away uncomfortably, "No... no."

　　"You still say no, but look in the mirror. My Su Su looks so aggrieved. I feel bad for him."

　　Jiang Mu randomly touched Su Lai's hair.

　　"Don't be upset. We have finished composing the music so quickly today. We still have time to rehearse. When we have our first performance, we will definitely be able to give you a good show. Don't you think so?"

　　Jiang Mu looked at Su Lai with some anticipation.

　　Su Lai was easily affected by Jiang Mu's emotions and smiled shyly.

　　"Yes! Yes...Yes."

　　Jiang Mu looked at Su Lai seriously and said, "Su Su, it's great to be able to team up with you. I'm so happy. I really like you."

　　Su Lai's previous grievance and loneliness disappeared completely in an instant.

　　He pursed his lips and whispered, "How... how can it be... that... exaggerated... with what you said."

　　Jiang Mu: "It's true, Su Su is the best, I like Su Su the most."

　　Su Lai was delighted, but he stammered, "I... I'm not... as good as you. If... it wasn't... you, I... might have... been... eliminated."

　　"That's right. I was afraid that someone would snatch you from me. But I told you that if someone wants to snatch you from me in the future, you must not agree. You are mine, and I am yours exclusively..." Jiang Mu paused, and then said, "We are exclusive partners."

　　Su Lai was deeply moved by Jiang Mu's affectionate words. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I... I will definitely... not... I won't."

　　"That's good. I feel at ease with you here." Jiang Mu hugged Su Lai, leaned on his shoulder, closed his eyes and calmed down.

　　Su Lai felt that this moment was so beautiful.

　　He hasn't felt that way yet.

　　Being relied upon, trusted, and liked by others... It feels so good to be able to work hard and pursue dreams with Jiang Mu.

　　Jiang Mu is so outstanding, he must work hard and not let Jiang Mu down. On the first stage, he must let everyone see that Jiang Mu's choice of him is no worse than choosing Ning Yulan.

　　Su Lai secretly made up his mind, and from that day on, he spent a lot of time practicing every day.

　　Facts have proved that if you put all your energy into doing something, you will definitely get amazing results.

　　In just two days, the two of them had already developed a very good understanding of each other, and after the song was completed, they both liked it very much.

　　Jiang Mu gave the song a name, and this was the first original song the two of them collaborated on.

　　They all took it very seriously, especially Su Lai.

　　When Jiang Mu said the name of this song was "Don't Say I Don't Like You", Su Lai's expression was so cute.

　　At first he was dazed, and then his face turned red little by little.

　　…..

　　Two days later, more than 30 musicians finally had the first performance assessment of the "Possible Band" program.

　　There are a total of sixteen two-person groups in this stage assessment.

　　These sixteen groups will compete in a 1v1 format, and the test will be on original music performed by both of them.

　　It is not an easy task for every band to create new songs in just a few days.

　　But with the help of the instructors, all the combinations were completed.

　　Jiang Mu and Su Lai were also full of confidence.

　　This performance will be the first time for these musicians to step onto the big stage of the program team.

　　There will also be hundreds of live audiences, and the performance rankings will be determined by on-site scoring by the mentor group and voting by the live audience.

　　The winning two-person team with the higher score will be retained, while the team with the lower score will face disbandment and reorganization.

　　Each group has just established friendships, and no one wants to be broken up immediately, so this time, everyone will go all out and fight for themselves and their teammates.

　　Su Lai was very afraid that he would get stage fright. He was an introvert and afraid of crowds. Before the test began, he kept running to the bathroom with a pale face, fearing that he would perform poorly.

　　The first one was worried about getting Jiang Mu involved, and the second one was worried about breaking up with Jiang Mu.

　　He had never been so nervous.

　　Before going on stage, Su Lai went to the bathroom again.

　　He stood in front of the sink, but didn't dare wash his face because he was wearing makeup and stage clothes. The clothes were shiny and would look good under the lights, but Su Lai was not used to it.

　　It was the first time he wore such clothes.

　　He was so nervous that he was about to cry, but he didn't want to affect Jiang Mu's mood.

　　Because he knows that tension is contagious.

　　He covered his face, took a few deep breaths, and finally walked out.

　　Jiang Mu was waiting for Su Lai at the door.

　　Seeing Su Lai coming out, Jiang Mu walked forward and hugged Su Lai.

　　"Susu, don't be nervous. We can do it. I believe in you. We will always be together. I chose you and you accepted me. Our hearts are together, so we can definitely perform well."

　　Jiang Mu patted Su Lai's shoulder and said, "Look at me."

　　Su Lai slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Mu.

　　"Look into my eyes. I believe in you with all my heart. You have to believe in me too. You know what? We will definitely be able to give everyone a super exciting stage and let us rock the house. How do you think?"

　　Su Lai nodded, "Okay."

　　"Give me your hand."

　　Jiang Mu stretched out her hand to him.

　　Su Lai felt that he was suddenly not nervous at all.

　　He seemed to be healed, all the tense emotions seemed to be blown away by the wind, and his whole body felt warm.

　　"I'll hold your hand. If you feel nervous later, don't look at other people. Just look at me. I'm the only one in your eyes. It's like I'm the only one in the whole world."

　　Su Lai held Jiang Mu's hand and said, "Well... I... I believe you."

　　Jiang Mu: "Then let's go to our stage together."

　　Su Lai was greatly encouraged and became very excited.

　　…..

　　The previous band was still performing. Jiang Mu and Su Lai walked to the side of the stage, ready to go on stage at any time.

　　The program team prepared a super gorgeous stage for them with a particularly good stage effect. The performing group at this time was the duo of Ning Yulan and Fu Yan.

　　One of them was playing the cello and the other was playing the guitar and singing.

　　The music was very nice, the guitar and cello sounded perfectly together, especially the singing voice which gave people a very gentle feeling, like a warm light, and one could hear the faint sadness in the singing voice, which was slightly hoarse but full of emotion.

　　Jiang Mu's attention was involuntarily drawn to Ning Yulan, who was playing the cello.

　　She secretly sighed, what a beautiful face.

　　A combination of great looks, three parts of coolness, and three parts of a hint of melancholy, is something that is hard to forget once you see it.

　　When he played the cello, his eyes were focused and deep, completely immersed in his own emotions. Even without any expression, he was so dazzling on the stage, like a prince from a fairy tale.

　　Jiang Mu decided that she must defeat Ning Yu Lan, break up his team, and force Ning Yu Lan to join her team.

　　Even if you refuse to team up with me, it's useless. I will use my strength to snatch you away.
