Chapter 112 Double Betrayal

The Planetary Band, who just came back from a foreign country, finally felt the love from the people of the motherland.

For American audiences, they may be just an ordinary foreign band with good looks and good-looking songs, but not in line with their country’s appreciation level, and with a better live atmosphere; but for the vast majority For the British people, this is their own band. Even if things go wrong every day and there is no melody or lyrics, it is still a good band.

However, to the disappointment of British fans, the Planetary Band did not immediately devote themselves to work actively after returning to China.Instead, they turned down several TV offers and planned to take a break.

Four or five years of continuous touring is a kind of heavy pressure on their bodies and spirits.

In many cases, even if everything around you is clearly going well, the negative emotions caused by physical and psychological exhaustion are almost unavoidable.

During that time, Lance would frequently show a downcast expression, often sullen; There will also be a sentence or two that are not pleasant to listen to; in the end, even if he is as lively as James, he will suddenly become silent when he is alone.

These seemingly small symptoms represent that the energy of the whole band is on the verge of exhaustion and it is urgent to take a rest.

Everyone doesn't want to work at all, they just want to go out and find a relaxing space to get a breath, adjust their physical and mental state, and then talk about work.

Abel wanted to be considerate of them.

But as a manager, from the perspective of the band's career development, it is not very good to disappear as soon as they return to the UK.

Therefore, he gave a relatively gentle work suggestion: "Why don't you do this, find a quiet place, rest, and record a song at the same time. Try to make another record. I'm too lazy to do it. It's okay to make a single. That's fine. Besides, what the Mixer record company meant was the same, strike while the iron is hot while you've just returned from America."

The four members of the band looked at each other, all unwilling.

After working continuously for so long and without rest 24 hours a day, they just want a long vacation, and they can release their pressure without thinking about anything and without any burden.

In the end, but Abel also had a point.

Moreover, he took the initiative to help the four of the band rent a two-story country house on a farm, and sent a sound engineer and a mobile recording car, saying that they could not only meet their vacation needs, but also let them have more time. When you are inspired, make some music at any time: "Give it a try, maybe you will start wanting to make music again after playing."

This is still euphemistic work advice.

Because Abel knew these people too well.For them, music is a necessity of life, and it is indispensable for a day.Don't look at the fact that they are tired and complaining now, but if they really let them have a few days of leisure, they must be walking again holding the guitar, playing the bass, beating the drums, and shouting!

James and the others didn't see through their manager's deepest thoughts. Except that they didn't choose the vacation location themselves, and they were a little dissatisfied... They all thought that the initiative was still in their own hands: "Anyway, after arriving at the farm, no one cares about it. We can play as we want, whether we want to make music or not is another matter.”

So they agreed to the plan.

But before setting off to this farm, the four of them still wanted to go home and reunite with their families.

This is also what should be done.

Abel said nothing more.

However, what made him very happy was that James actually brought him a gift from the United States.

That day, when the band left, the green-eyed little devil, who usually looked irritating, turned back, knocked on his door lightly, and put a small box on his desk with a smile.

Abel didn't understand at first: "What is this?"

James replied: "A gift for you."

Abel's first reaction was: "... What's wrong with you again?"

"Hold!"

James turned his face instantly, reached out to take the box away, and shouted: "I won't give it to you! I won't give it to you!"

Abel quickly pressed his hand and apologized kindly: "No, Jimmy, I made a mistake, I'm sorry."

Then, he picked up the box and found that there was a bow tied with a ribbon on it. He couldn't help smiling again, and opened it to see that it was a man's watch.

"I really didn't expect you to bring me a gift."

Abel was surprised and honest about how he felt at the moment.

"Just take it and play!"

James' temper came and went quickly, and at this time he said in a generous and somewhat rude nouveau riche tone: "My mother has some money now, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't spend it."

Abel's tenderness that had welled up in his heart was all turned into dumbfounding.

He persuaded like a worried old father: "Buy some property if you have money, and don't spend it recklessly."

James nodded casually.

But I have to say that it is indeed a joy to be able to get such a positive return after hard work.

For this, Abel was really happy all day.

He thought elatedly in his heart: "If you want to bring me a gift when you go abroad, then I am still very important in this kid's heart!"

But later, he discovered that there are many people around...the employees of the entire studio; Fans, all received American gifts brought back by James, some gadgets such as California milk candy, and the female staff may also give an extra bouquet of flowers, although the combined price of these gifts is not as much as his share Watches are expensive, but there is something for everyone.

Abel: ...

At this moment, the thoughts deep in his heart are probably:

[It turns out that I am not the special one! ]

[This kid is too fucking good at life! ]

[I finally know why everyone is willing to let him run amok! ]

finally……

He could only comfort himself with 'my gift is the most expensive'.

Ignore these and don't mention them.

On the second day after returning to the UK, the four members were finally able to disband on the spot, dragged their suitcases, and bid farewell to those around them. Feeling sick" teammates, set foot on the road home.

Interestingly though...

The little black dog Jiji picked up by Lance has completely rebelled!

Although Lance has many behaviors that are very selfish in the eyes of outsiders, he is usually very difficult to deal with and difficult to approach.

But he has a basic sense of responsibility for all the people, things, and things that belong to his field.

Therefore, even though he had quarreled with James because of dog food before, he also cried to Baldwin about the sadness of "When I see a dog, I think I am not as good as a dog".

But not long after the incident, he still endured his sadness and went to perform his master's duties seriously.

For example, play a small game of 'you throw me and pick it up' with the little black dog Jiji.

When this happened, the tour team had not yet left the United States.

The staff was busy packing up the equipment, checking the list, and declaring the things that should be declared in advance, so as not to bring things that should not be brought when passing through the customs, so as not to be suspected of smuggling.

At this time, the four members of the band who don't have to prepare for the performance are relatively free.

Baldwin and Theo dressed up in disguise and went shopping with a few bodyguards.

James originally wanted to join in the fun and play with them, but he played games all night the night before and couldn't get up the next day.

After Lance suffered from food poisoning, he felt bad in his stomach, depressed, and too lazy to go out, so he spent some free time to play with the dog.

While walking, he threw a small plastic frisbee casually, and the little black dog Jiji around his legs would rush out every time like an arrow from the string, and then swooped to catch the frisbee. Wagging his tail vigorously, Dian Dian ran back, obediently handed the frisbee to the owner, and looked up eagerly, waiting for him to pat his head first before throwing the frisbee out.

And so on and on.

Although Lance can't understand the fun of "dog bites the Frisbee" at all, but when he is in a good mood, he is very willing to satisfy the other party.

But when he threw the Frisbee casually for the third time, because he didn't look too carefully and didn't control his strength, he accidentally threw the Frisbee into a small puddle next to him.

Considering that the little black dog Jiji is just a puppy that hasn't grown up, the puddle that is shallow for people is a bit deep for it, Lance immediately decided not to embarrass the dog, and went to pick it up by himself.

But what I didn't expect...

The little black dog Jiji bravely jumped into the puddle, performed the ancestral dog planing skills, splashed the water, successfully approached and bit the Frisbee, struggled to climb ashore from the puddle, shook his fur, and again Dian Dian ran towards Lance.

Seeing this, Lance couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, and boasted with a smile: "Good dog!"

At this time, James, who was just sleeping late, also got out of the car.

The little black dog Jiji's eyes lit up, and he skipped Lance who was praising him, but ran towards James excitedly, and put the Frisbee that he managed to get back under James' feet.

Lance held out his hand to catch the Frisbee, and it froze in mid-air.

He looked at the little black dog Jiji, his expression was full of unbelievable shock, not only for his courage to go into the water to pick up the frisbee, but also for his disloyalty to betray his master without hesitation...

James hugged Jiji without feeling dirty, and happily lowered his head to kiss its little nose.

One person and one dog turned their heads at the same time, and two pairs of bright eyes looked at Lance happily.

However, Lance looked at them both and didn't feel the same joy.

As if he had been double betrayed, he looked at the person and the dog expressionlessly, and walked away silently sadly.

But no one, nor the dog, noticed him.

James successfully replaced Lance and played a game of Frisbee with Gigi.

Since……

The little black dog Jiji became James' dog.
