Chapter 540: Conflict
The Black Death band was still performing on the stage, and Gu Chenxi behind the screen was complaining about Kong Liu with a red face, pinching his neck with both hands.
Although Gu Chenxi's hand was placed on Gong Liu's neck as if to pinch him, he actually did not exert any strength at all, he just held it lightly.
Her slender fingers were clasped around Gong Liu's slender neck. She could clearly feel his protruding and slightly sexy Adam's apple moving slowly between her palms, which made her heart beat faster uncontrollably - Gu Chenxi's face turned even redder.
Gong Liu stared into Gu Chenxi's eyes and said with a smile: "Your heartbeat is a little loud!"
Gu Chenxi put his hand aside, turned his back and didn't look at Gong Liu, then said with a guilty conscience: "I was mad at you."
"Hey, don't be angry. I'll treat you to ice cream later."
"Am I such an easy person to please?"
"two!"
"…I forgive you reluctantly."
After stepping down from the stage, Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi did not go to the audience seats anymore. Instead, they hid in the dressing room backstage to avoid being surrounded by the audience and causing a commotion.
At half past nine, Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi were called onto the stage by Feng Ying and others. They took a group photo with the audience, and the performance was officially over.
According to Feng Ying, the reason why the end time was set at 9:30 is because some nearby universities have dormitory curfews at 10 o'clock.
Fortunately, Jiaotong University is relatively lenient in this regard and the doors are not locked until 11 or 12 o'clock.
The performance fee is paid on the spot.
Tonight's performance was great, and the boss readily gave Feng Ying's band an extra three hundred yuan. The boss also took Kong Yoo aside to chat for a while, as if he wanted Kong Yoo to perform again next time.
Gong Yoo found an excuse and tactfully evaded the question.
Feng Ying's band's total income tonight was 1,300 yuan - minus the extra 300 yuan given by the boss, it was still 1,000 yuan. There were four people in the band, and each of them earned 250 yuan.
Some people will definitely think that one thousand yuan is a bit too little for singing for one night.
but it is not the truth.
In venues outside the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing, singing in bars only makes two to three hundred yuan a night, and in venues with higher incomes, the maximum you can make is seven to eight hundred yuan a night.
Student bands like Feng Ying, which have not yet graduated from university, have neither fame nor regular fans. People who come to see the performances simply come to join in the fun because the tickets are cheap. A ticket costs twenty or thirty yuan, and they only make two or three thousand yuan by selling a hundred tickets.
Excluding the boss's venue and labor costs, the profit from this performance was meager. The only reason they were able to give him one thousand was because Feng Ying's band had become familiar with the boss.
Some small bands in China may not earn as much as they do from a single performance, so making a thousand dollars for singing in one night is really not a small amount at all.
"These three hundred..."
Feng Ying looked at Kong Liu, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Logically speaking, these three hundred should be Gong Yoo's hard work fee, but she knew what kind of financial situation Gong's family was in, and they didn't even think highly of this small amount of hard work fee.
Gong Liu immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm already very happy that you invited us to play. I definitely can't take this money."
Feng Ying thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to divide the remaining 300 among the four of us... How about we go to the back street behind the school for a midnight snack?"
"it is good!"
While having supper, Feng Ying called Su Ya, who had just returned to Jiaotong University after tutoring Gu Chenxuan, but did not call Bai Xuezhou.
After Su Ya arrived, Gu Chenxi asked Su Ya in a low voice: "Did Senior Feng and that guy Bai Xuezhou have a fight recently?"
In fact, Gu Chenxi wanted to ask this question a long time ago.
Logically speaking, Feng Ying would always call Bai Xuezhou no matter where she went out to do something, but Bai Xuezhou was not seen at this performance, and she didn't even call him for supper. This is too strange.
Su Ya nodded gently, and she whispered to Gu Chenxi: "It seems that there is a conflict. When our band was rehearsing, the senior came to see the senior several times, but was always ignored by the senior."
Gu Chenxi looked at Feng Ying who was ordering food at the barbecue stall not far away, frowned, and muttered to herself: "Strange, weren't they doing fine some time ago? Why are they suddenly having a conflict?"
Gong Yoo sat next to Gu Chenxi and drank the fat otaku happy water silently. He knew everything and chose to remain silent.
Only Lin Zhi and Kong Liu knew what happened in the wine cellar on Sunday night. They were both tight-lipped people and didn't spread the news - Kong Liu didn't even tell Gu Chenxi.
Su Ya shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but I feel like this is Bai Xuezhou's fault."
"Hmm?" Gu Chenxi tilted his head and asked, "Why do you feel that way?"
Su Ya said: "It's just... the feeling..."
"What are you guys chatting about in whispers?" Gu Chenxi wanted to say something, but Feng Ying, who had ordered the barbecue, had already come back.
"No, nothing to talk about!"
"Well, that's right."
Gu Chenxi and Su Ya waved their hands quickly.
Su Ya even pulled a stool for Feng Ying: "Senior, please sit down."
"No, I want to talk to Gong Yoo about song writing." Feng Ying waved her hand, then walked to Gong Yoo and pulled a stool.
She said: "The music I played for you last time is almost finished. I will put the audio together and send it to you when the time comes."
"So fast?" Kong Liu looked at Feng Ying in surprise.
"It's just the first version, and I feel like it's a little off." Feng Ying pursed her lips, looking unhappy as she said, "But I don't know where the problem lies... We can talk about it in depth when you listen to it."
After Feng Ying finished speaking, she stuck her head out and spoke to Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi from across the table: "Xiao Xi, you also understand music. When the time comes, listen to it with Kong Liu and give me some advice, right?"
Gu Chenxi shook her head and said modestly, "I just hum along with the accompaniment. I don't know anything about music. Senior sister, you are too kind to me."
"Don't say that." Feng Ying looked into Gu Chenxi's eyes and said sincerely, "This is a song I wrote specifically for you two. You must listen to it and give me some suggestions so that I can modify the song later."
Seeing Feng Ying was so serious, Gu Chenxi couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will listen to it with Gong Liu."
After waiting for a while, the stir-fried dishes from the food stall were served first, followed by the freshly grilled skewers of meat from the barbecue stall next door.
The total amount of stir-fried dishes and barbecue was three hundred yuan. Feng Ying did not keep any of Gong Yoo's share of the money and ordered all of it as midnight snacks. She also paid for some drinks and other snacks out of her own pocket.
The stalls in the snack street behind the school mainly serve large portions and are full. For 300 yuan, seven people can eat enough and even have some barbecue left over.
Gong Yoo suggested packing up the remaining barbecue and bringing it to Bai Xuezhou, but Feng Ying was immediately unhappy.
She had already eaten her fill, so she forced the remaining barbecue into her stomach, then said nonchalantly, "Okay, no waste, let's go!"
Gu Chenxi and Su Ya looked at each other in tacit understanding, and they both whispered almost at the same time: "They must have had a quarrel!"
Gong Liu walked behind the two of them, pursed his lips and smiled bitterly.
It seems that Bai Xuezhou really hurt Feng Ying's heart.
Gong Yoo mourned for Baek Hak Joo in his heart for a second.
