Chapter 153: Blueberry Music Festival
The Blueberry Music Festival was first held in 2009 and invites renowned veteran rock bands, popular artists, folk bands, international folk groups, and indie musicians to perform every year, making it the most famous folk music event in the country.
In the performance area, which covered nearly 100,000 square meters, six stages were set up for the participating performers.
Although the performances had not officially started yet, the park was already packed with crowds of people and bustling with excitement.
After the group entered the park, they were quickly drawn to the festive atmosphere. Everyone looked around, took photos, and had a great time.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
On the way, musicians dressed in punk and avant-garde styles could be seen everywhere, posing for photos with their guitars.
These musicians all looked like in their 20s, while Mei Fang and his friends, who were around 15 years old could be considered very young.
Even Peng Xue, who usually dressed in a mature and avant-garde style, looked very youthful in this atmosphere.
My cousins band actually participated in the Blueberry Music Festival last year, and it was held in a different city.
They didnt come this year? Xia Yuan asked curiously. Ive heard songs from your cousins band, and I quite like them!
Peng Xue shook her head. The music festivals are getting bigger and bigger. They didnt receive an invitation this year because their popularity isnt enough.
Band culture was a niche culture in China, so opportunities to perform were truly very limited. Missing one chance to take the stage at a large music festival would greatly increase the difficulty of gaining popularity and fans.
Thats really not easy How are they doing now?
It was a sad matter for Peng Xue as well. My cousin said they plan to stick it out until the end of this year. If they cant find a record company to sign with and their band career doesnt show any progress, they plan to disband and find jobs at a factory.
That sounds very tough
But its okay. My cousin often tells me that if you choose this path, you should be mentally prepared from the beginning. Its common for a band to not work out, and becoming famous is almost an unattainable dream. At least they tried hard in their youth, which is pretty good.
Peng Xue then pushed Xia Yuan forward and whispered, Ill take the others to another stage to watch a performance later. Take this opportunity.
What What opportunity? I also want to enjoy the music festival.
Xia Yuan had come to the music festival this time to learn from those musicians, but Peng Xue was urging her to make a move on Mei Fang. It was a spur-of-the-moment move.
Oh my, I didnt say you cant enjoy the music festival properly, I meant for you and Mei Fang to enjoy it together!
Just then, the sound system on a stage ahead started playing, and everyone moved forward with the crowd. Taking advantage of the crowd, Peng Xue pushed Xia Yuan toward Mei Fang and joined everyone in moving forward.
Quick, lets go watch the band performance!
Xiaoxue, youre causing trouble again
Xia Yuan originally intended to call Peng Xue, but her voice was soon drowned out by the crowds.
Just as she was looking around helplessly, Mei Fang appeared from behind and grabbed her hand. He pulled her in front of him and shielded her protectively from the moving crowds.
Why are you alone?
Because of the noisy environment, Mei Fang had to raise his voice to ask.
Um, there are too many people
Xia Yuan just leaned against Mei Fangs chest. Although it wasnt her original intention to attend the music festival this way, the feeling of being protected by him was indeed wonderful.
They took steps forward together, almost in an embracing posture, and after walking about a hundred meters, the crowd gradually became less congested.
Seeing Xia Yuan limping slightly as she walked, Mei Fang pulled her to sit under a nearby tree stump.
Lets rest here for a while
Mei Fang noticed the shoe marks on Xia Yuans white sneakers. Did someone step on you just now?
Mhm The crowd was just too much.
Does it hurt?
Its okay, really, its nothing.
Mei Fang urged Xia Yuan and she reluctantly climbed onto his back.
Mei Fang carried Xia Yuan as they jogged through the crowd and arrived near the stage for the overseas bands. Natural Q was performing their original song, Little Apple[2].
This is what its like at a concert venue! I cant see anything.
We arrived too late.
Mei Fang glanced at Xia Yuan, who was leaning forward on his back, trying hard to see, and then he put her down.
Whats are you tired?
No, ride on my shoulders so you can watch the performance.
That that thats too embarrassing!
Xia Yuan covered her face and muttered, I-I-I-I, I dont want to!
You wont be able to see anything like this! This is your favorite band.
Mei Fang reached out his hand towards Xia Yuan, Come on, come on, we finally came to a music festival, you should enjoy it to the fullest!
Um
Xia Yuan cautiously straddled the back of Mei Fangs neck. Fortunately, she was wearing shorts today instead of a skirt, so it wasnt too embarrassing.
But, isnt this like letting Ah Fang grab my slightly chubby legs N-No its nothing.
Riding on Mei Fangs shoulders, Xia Yuan experienced the scenery from a high vantage point for the first time. This different kind of viewing experience quickly made her excited. She waved her hands and swayed her head along with the music, humming along with the band.
Although Mei Fang couldnt see the live performance, he was also enjoying himself. He swayed his body in rhythm with Xia Yuan and hummed along.
Its you / Wearing cute clothes coming to pick me up
Beside / I cant see anything clearly
So great / Holding your warm hand blankly
Beside / Everyones faces are blushing red
In a moment
The little apple will soon blush red
