King of Stage

"...Honestly, I don't like 'Young Blood', I think it's too trendy, and it doesn't have the characteristics of a king for a day at all..."

"But you can't deny that the band still gives different characteristics, especially Ronan..."

"No, don't use Ronan as an excuse, Ronan's live performance is one thing, the music itself is another..."

"No, no, no! Of course I can! Of course I can! Acting and music go hand in hand, you can't talk about it separately..."

"Why not? I can, and I'm doing it..."

The twittering and quarreling became more and more intense, and the blushing had deviated from the track, and even completely forgot the topic of the initial discussion.

But what is certain is that they are discussing the king for a day, and they are discussing with enthusiasm and excitement. Any topic can make people excited, from music to band members, from tour tidbits to close contact, the babbling words are completely The atmosphere of the party was detonated.

Sitting next to Joaquin was a black man named James, wearing a dark brown casual suit, but the crumpled suit looked a little too big and didn't fit him well. He had a crush on Juliet, so he went to Walmart to buy a few for the party. The polyester skirt was used as a party favor, and it also carried two plastic sunflowers with smiling faces, which attracted a lot of attention at the party.

Juliet is willing to chat with James occasionally, because James also likes Maxim's bass, she can always get some professional comments from James, and then the next time she meets Maxim, she will show off her knowledge, and Win Maxim's favor.

But tonight, Juliet was not in the mood to deal with James, all her thoughts were occupied by that damned man, and she couldn't get any energy out of it.

Indian boy Dave finally finished the painting - a painting that has been created since the first meeting in Tampa but has no clue or progress. The other friends thought this painting would never be completed, but no Thinking that Dave actually succeeded in completing the creation.

Dave told Juliet that when he woke up one morning, he suddenly found himself bent, but he never knew why, so he fell into deep trouble, trying to figure out what happened to him.

Everyone else laughed at Dave and refused to believe Dave's bizarre story of "turning a corner overnight", but Juliet didn't, Juliet didn't laugh at Dave or question Dave, and even occasionally accompanied Dave, chatting, even if he couldn't Giving an answer can also make Dave no longer alone.

So, Dave "likes" Juliet.

Every time they meet, Juliet will ask,

Has Dave found someone he really likes, but now it seems that Dave is still looking for it. The only thing he can be sure of is that the music of King One Day can make him feel the pleasure of orgasm-sounds like Another freak, but Juliet doesn't judge other people's preferences at will, as long as Dave enjoys it, that's enough.

Just after meeting, Dave shared the latest news with Juliet. His current "inspiration" source is "falling apart", and he can press the buttons in his body every time the music sounds. Experiment; Juliet encourages him to continue the experiment.

Juliette wanders around the living room in slippers and pajamas, waiting for her freshly smoked tobacco to take effect, listening to the circus performance to the sound of her phone ringing—it has to be said that Joaquin is a very good clown, but now the clown has fallen behind Times, no one wants to appreciate it.

At this point, at least half of the guests in the room are faces that Juliet doesn't know, and of course, they don't know Juliet either.

This made Juliet a little sad.

A few weeks ago, "Juliet" was a well-known name, and everyone who followed the King of the Day fans knew that Juliet was Maxim's guest of honor, one of the few who could One of the fans who was slapsticking among the band members.

And now?

Juliet felt that she had been forgotten, as if erased from the life of the band, and she began to worry that Maxim was tired of herself.

Looking at the strange face in front of her, Juliet was a little annoyed.

Juliette then manages to track down two notorious New York siblings who stole a ton of birthday presents at a birthday party in Detroit, then disappeared for a while, only to reappear today.

Anxiety and anger rushed into her brain, and Juliet tried to step forward and have a good fight with them, but the effect of the tobacco leaves began to overwhelm, and the world was so dizzy that she couldn't stand still, and she almost fell when she just took a step, so she had to give up Such thoughts.

From the corner of his wobbly vision, he saw a child named Darren rubbing the big red cream sticking to the soles of his shoes on the dirty and inferior carpet. In Juliet's blurred vision, the cream seemed to melt into the Pacific Ocean, and then the whole ocean changed. It turned pink, spreading little by little along the corners of the room.

On the rented piano, someone played a serenade, which vaguely sounded like a work that the king had never officially published. It should be called... "Murderer"?

Rumor has it that Ronan wrote a piece for Ollie at Coachella.

The melody was submerged in the hustle and bustle of the party, and it was not loud, but Juliet felt that her sense of hearing was particularly keen, and she could accurately capture the gurgling and flowing melody, as if she could hear the looming singing voice singing the vague lyrics— —

"Honey, you've been slowly killing me, you're the murderer..."

The soft, warm, itchy singing sound was jumping above the eardrums, and in a daze, Juliet couldn't help but began to miss Maxim, the damned murderer, so much that her heart curled up, as if it was about to burst Breaking into countless fragments, the whole person escaped into the black hole vortex in a daze, the calm emotions boiled again, and the eye sockets became warm.

As a result, she almost missed Maxim's call.

Jingle Bell.

Jingle Bell.

The phone rings loudly.

The deafening noise and the gentle and moving piano melody are intertwined. The earth-shattering mobile phone ringtones hit like a volcanic eruption. The hot magma and muddy volcanic ash washed over mightily, and the whole world fell into the turmoil and chaos of the tornado. among.

buzz buzz.

buzz buzz.

Juliet's brain was in a mess, her whole brainstem was throbbing, and she was spinning dizzily. When she realized what the sound was, she frantically took out her phone—but almost dropped it on the ground On the ground, and then, like a clown juggling, throwing the mobile phone with both hands, stumbling on his feet, rushing out of the crowd in a rushing gesture, fled to the balcony, and desperately answered the phone before it was about to be hung up.

"Hey sweetheart."

It's Maxim.
