Chapter 173 Please
"Eh? Squad leader, you're here too?"

When Xu Youyu followed Li Luo and walked towards the drum set, Shao Youpeng, who was teaching someone to play bass, noticed her instantly.

In fact, Xu Youyu is no longer his squad leader.

Xu Youyu chose liberal arts when the classes were divided and is now in Class 16.

Shao Youpeng stayed in Class 1.

But when he saw Xu Youyu, he subconsciously blurted out the name of squad leader.

When Xu Youyu heard Shao Youpeng's greeting, he nodded to him politely.

As a result, Shao Youpeng became interested and asked quickly: "Squad leader, do you want to try the bass? I can teach you."

Hearing what he said, Xu Youyu immediately shook his head and declined: "No, you go ahead and do your work, the people in line are still waiting."

After that, she pointed at Li Luo and said, "Someone said he would teach me how to play the drums. I want to see if he is bragging."

"Ah?" Shao Youpeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Li Luo is kidding, right? He has never touched a drum set, how can he use it?"

"Really?" Xu Youyu looked confused, but still followed Li Luo to Niu Qingling.

Li Luo smiled and said to Niu Qingling: "Sister Ling, can you lend me your drum set?"

"Hmm?" Niu Qingling was bored to begin with. Seeing Li Luo coming over, she thought he was here to do something, but it turned out he wanted to borrow her drum set. "You also know this?"

"I only know a little bit." Li Luo made a gesture, pinching his index finger and thumb together, and said modestly, "But it shouldn't be a problem to fool some laymen."

"Then you come." Niu Qingling was also interested in watching the fun, so he gave up his seat and said with a smile, "Have you ever practiced this before?"

"A little practice."

But I practiced it in my mind.

Li Luo sat down in front of the drum set, picked up two drumsticks, relaxed his movements, stepped on the control pedals with both feet, and quickly got into the state.

Shao Youpeng and Xie Shuchen both looked over curiously, and Yan Zhusheng also stopped playing the guitar and looked towards Li Luo.

But Li Luo smiled at them, then raised his drumsticks and shouted, "Ready, one, two, three, go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already taken action.

The familiar drum rhythm instantly entered the ears of Shao Youpeng and others.

Driven by the tacit cooperation over the past few days, several people including Yan Zhusheng instantly got into the state and quickly followed the beat of the drums and cut into the beginning of the song "Brave Heart".

Niu Qingling looked at the relaxed Li Luo with surprise. She didn't expect that this guy was so secretive.

It seems that his drumming skills are no worse than hers.

If Li Luo knew what Niu Qingling was surprised about, he would definitely feel a little embarrassed.

After all, the action memory that he borrowed originally belonged to Niu Qingling, and it was a complete one-to-one replica.

With the help of the soul possession mode, the effect is almost exactly the same as the real person.

But after all, the purpose was to teach Xu Youyu to play the drum set, so Li Luo only led Shao Youpeng and the others to play for a minute or two, then stopped and signaled them to let other students experience the instruments.

Then Li Luo smiled and looked at Xu Youyu: "Senior sister, how about it? Do you want to try it?"

"Can I?" Xu Youyu walked over to Li Luo and looked at the drum set curiously. "How do I do this?"

"Come sit here first."

Li Luo gave up his seat to her, and after Xu Youyu sat down, he handed her a drumstick and kept one for himself.

"This is a bass drum. Press the pedal with your foot. It will make a sound every time you step on it." Li Luo pointed at Xu Youyu's right foot. "Yes, that's it."

Xu Youyu tried to step on it a few times, and when he heard the dull sound of the bass drum, he immediately became interested: "And then?"

"Let's keep it simple. Look at this drum again." Li Luo pointed at the big drum facing Xu Youyu. "This is called a military drum. Use the drumstick in your hand to hit it here."

Xu Youyu followed his instructions and raised his drumstick to hit it.

"Don't be so tense, relax your arms a little." Li Luo patted Xu Youyu's shoulders and arms, and leaned over Xu Youyu's head with his upper body, hugging her from behind, "Do it again."

"Like this?" After all, the two of them had lived under the same roof for several months. Xu Youyu didn't care about Li Luo's close distance. He just did as he said and hit the snare drum again.

"Very good, now do as I say." Li Luo stretched out his drumsticks and said to Xu Youyu, "Now follow my rhythm, I beat and you beat, let's do it together."

Hey, hey, hey.

The military drum sounded monotonously.

Li Luo patiently guided Xu Youyu, and after she gradually became familiar with the rhythm, he asked her to stop for a while, and then said: "Just like the rhythm just now, don't move your hands yet, use your feet to hit the bass drum, and follow my rhythm."

After saying that, Li Luo continued to play the snare drum, and Xu Youyu also started to step on the pedal as he said, keeping the same rhythm as him playing the snare drum.

"Very good, that's it." Li Luo smiled, "Now I'm going to stop, but you keep your feet, okay?"

Xu Youyu nodded.

So Li Luo stopped what he was doing, and the only sound in his ears was the sound of the bass drum.

After Xu Youyu became familiar with the rhythm, Li Luo suddenly stretched out his drumstick, interspersed with the rhythm of the bass drum, and hit the snare drum.

Then a bass drum and a snare drum sounded alternately.

The rhythm was basically formed. "Very good, keep the rhythm with your feet, and follow my movements with your hands, come on." Li Luo stretched out his left hand, supported Xu Youyu's arm holding the drumstick, and asked her to follow suit and hit the snare drum.

This action made the two of them look closer.

When Shao Youpeng caught a glimpse of this scene, he was immediately filled with envy and jealousy, and also felt a little indignant.

Li Luo, this bastard, isn’t it enough that he has Yan Zhusheng, why did he also flirt with his beloved squad leader?

This is too much!

But seeing that Xu Youyu had no intention of resisting, Shao Youpeng could only feel jealous in his heart, imagining how wonderful it would be if he were to teach Xu Youyu to play the drums in this way.

But the reality is cruel.

Li Luo and Xu Youyu didn't notice Shao Youpeng's gaze at all.

When Xu Youyu was able to control the rhythm himself, the bass drum and snare drum intertwined with each other to form a basic rhythmic framework.

The drumstick in Li Luo's hand was free, and at the same time, his left foot stepped on the control pedal of the other cymbal.

As Xu Youyu's regular rhythm progressed, Li Luo occasionally interspersed some drum beats and hi-cymbal sounds.

Thus, the originally monotonous rhythm suddenly came alive in Xu Youyu's ears.

Obviously, what she was doing were very monotonous and mechanical repetitive movements, but after cooperating with Li Luo, it unexpectedly produced such a wonderful feeling.

This made her quickly immersed in it and she had a lot of fun.

It was not until a member of the student union ran in from outside, found Xu Youyu and said that he had something to talk to her about that Xu Youyu came back to her senses.

Xu Youyu returned the drumstick in his hand to Niu Qingling reluctantly, then stood up and said to Li Luo, "I have something else to do. I can only stay this long. I'm leaving now."

"Is there something wrong?" Li Luo looked at the classmate who was running over and asked curiously.

"Two boys are fighting over there on the basketball court." The classmate said helplessly, "Senior, go and take a look."

"A fight?" Xu Youyu frowned. "Got it. Let's go now."

Seeing this, Li Luo also greeted Niu Qingling, then said something to Yan Zhusheng, and followed Xu Youyu to the basketball court.

"Why are you following me?" Xu Youyu asked puzzledly.

"Didn't you say we were going to fight?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows. "Of course we were going to watch a play."

"You bastard." Xu Youyu was speechless, "You really don't mind making trouble."

Unfortunately, by the time Li Luo and Xu Youyu arrived at the scene, the two people had already been pulled apart by those who were trying to stop the fight.

As the president of the Student Union, Xu Youyu stepped forward to understand the situation. He learned that the dispute was caused by queue cutting and fighting for the basketball court. He first had the injured sent to the infirmary, and then reported the situation to the dean of studies.

By the time everything was done, more than half an hour had passed.

"Huh... I'm so tired." Xu Youyu sighed and sat on the bench next to the basketball court.

Li Luo handed over a bottle of water.

"Thank you." Xu Youyu took the water and took a big gulp.

"Looks like he's really busy."

"Do you really think I'm very leisurely?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him.

"Isn't it quite leisurely this morning? You even have time to watch us draw the lottery."

"Haha." Xu Youyu was too lazy to say anything to him. He just looked around and saw the lively scene in the school. "I should have known not to be the president. It's too much trouble."

"Senior, do you want to play?" Li Luo pointed to the basketball court, "Just like we did in the gym just now."

"What's the matter?" Xu Youyu turned his head and looked at him, "Little brother, do you have time to accompany me?"

"I'm free now." Li Luo said, "Didn't I just run around with you? I haven't gone shopping this afternoon."

"Then it's not you accompanying me, but me accompanying you." Xu Youyu laughed, "If you beg me, I will agree."

Li Luo looked at her speechlessly, but thinking of the pure happy smile on Xu Youyu's face when he was playing drums in the gymnasium before, he said helplessly: "Please, senior sister, please accompany me for a while."

"Well... since you said so." Xu Youyu smiled and stood up from the bench, patted his butt gently, and then waved his hand, "Then I will reluctantly play with you for a while."

"Heh." Li Luo smiled, then stood up and walked towards the basketball court. "Then let's go play some ball first?"

"No problem, let's go."

……

On the lawn in the southwest corner of the playground, Qiao Xinyan, who had just returned to the picnic site after using the toilet, sat down next to Ying Chanxi and said to her:
"Xixi, I think I saw Li Luo just now."

"Hmm? Over there at the gym?"

"It's not over there, it's over there at the basketball court." Qiao Xinyan said, "But maybe I saw it wrong, it's a bit far away."

"You must have seen it wrong. I told him before." Ying Chanxi said with a smile, "He said that after he finishes his work with the rock club, if he is free, he will come here to find us."

"I see. Then I guess I saw it wrong."
