Chapter 4

This wasn't what surprised him; what surprised Quetzal the most was Bucky's ex-wife, Alina.

In the three years Alina had been married to Bucky, he felt that she was an extremely gentle, lovely person, but now Alina on stage was a different person. Although she wore simple clothes, didn't reveal any sexiness, and only performed with her hands, she was the one who created a lively atmosphere for the entire hall.

The drummer Alina played very well and wonderfully, right?

If he had met a drummer like Alina, his band would not have died halfway.

Quetzal was both touched and happy, even when Bucky arrived, his eyes were still glued to the stage.

Bucky looked at Quetzal, who was raising his hand to “kick” in front of him. he couldn’t help but frown: “Where is Alina?”

Quetzal raised his finger, pointing at the stage: “There, the one playing the drums. Bucky, did you divorce Alina?”

“Forgery of divorce papers is illegal.”

“Oh, that’s great. I hereby declare that from this moment on, Alina, she is my new goddess.”

At this moment, Bucky looked up at the stage and saw Alina sitting in front of the drum set. Under the stage lights, Alina was completely different from her usual appearance, no longer naive; instead, her movements were agile, raising and lowering her hands as if the whole place was bowing to her; she was the queen of the night.

 Bucky had never seen Alina like this before, so he, who was always calm and composed, was a little surprised to see this scene. As the song reached its climax, the drum beat also became louder and louder, making Alina's brilliance on stage even more dazzling.

The people below the stage were completely immersed in the music; the screams of those who knew and didn't know rang out one after another. Tonight was not only a feast for the ears but also a feast for the eyes.

"Oh my god. Did you see that girl playing the drums? She's the best."

"The best. That girl is my goddess."

"This drummer is awesome."

"This drummer is awesome. I like this charming atmosphere."

"Oh my god, look at that girl playing the drums, I can't take my eyes off her. She's so cool. It's a pity that I'm a girl, I can't love her."

The admiration of the audience for Alina grew; regardless of whether they were male or female, they all appreciated Alina.

Bucky stood there, his face expressionless as he watched Alina on stage.

He found nothing interesting about her.

After only 5 minutes of performing, the entire audience stood up and cheered, some even shouted for them to sing another song.

The four of them looked at each other, preparing to get off the stage, but in the end, they all turned to look at Alina.

Alina sighed: "Why not?"

She stomped her feet as she spoke, once again stirring up the entire hall.

It had been 20 minutes since the four of them left the stage. In nearly ten years, they had never felt so emotional.

Ingrid even said, "Oh my gosh, I think we can debut as a band."

Alina took the cup of warm water from Camden's hand, then she glanced at Ingrid and said, "When you debuted, you didn't say that."

Ingrid is such a person, she likes everything, do you think she doesn't like playing music or playing bass?

Not really, but they have already debuted, and a series of invisible rules have been extinguished, and Ingrid is the first to stop playing. 

Everyone is no longer the teenager of 10 years ago. Camden has finished school and returned home. He is now a surgeon who saves lives, and Anselm, the boy in a suit and leather shoes with a baby face, is also the heir to the family business. 

If the original desire is still maintained until now, the youth's enthusiasm will be challenging to turn into reality. 

Ingrid was suddenly told by Alina, and she immediately smiled: "Alina, is tonight great?" 

Alina lowered her head to drink water, smiled, and said: "Very good." 

She has been stuck in a marriage with Bucky for three years, and she has almost forgotten that she used to be so reckless and fun. 

 Everyone was chatting and laughing when suddenly Larissa ran over, in a hurry, she didn't pay attention and bumped into Alina, causing the wine in her glass to spill out. Camden stood beside her, hurriedly took out a tissue, and handed it to her.

Larissa said a little embarrassedly, "I ran too fast, you guys are great tonight. I'm so excited."

Alina curled her lips and said, "Forgive you."

She also felt that tonight was perfect, until now, Alina's heartbeat was still beating fast.

Everyone was chatting enthusiastically and happily when suddenly Quetzal walked over: "Alina, you played the drums very well today, congratulations."

Seeing Quetzal, the smile on Alina's face quickly disappeared: "Young master Quetzal, long time no see."

"Haha, long time no see, this time we say goodbye, you gave us a big surprise."

 Quetzal was still immersed in the excitement just now, completely forgetting how he had looked down on Alina before.

Ingrid understood the meaning of his words: "Us?"

Besides him, who else?

Was Bucky here too?

Alina had seen Bucky when he arrived. She raised her eyebrows and asked: "When did you guys get here?"

Only then did Quetzal calm down, he said a little embarrassedly: "I've been here for a long time, that Bucky guy just arrived 10 minutes ago."

"Oh, then I apologize for dirtying Master Bucky's ears."

As soon as Alina finished speaking, Bucky stepped forward.

Her voice was not loud but not too soft, enough for Bucky to hear clearly.

The audience was still in a state of shock and excitement, and the applause was so loud that it seemed like the sky was about to explode.  Alina's words soiled Bucky's ears, making Quetzal suddenly feel that Alina was a person who knew how to play with words.

"Really?"

The man's cold voice rang out. Ingrid immediately felt uncomfortable; she wanted to say something, but Alina quickly stopped her, looked at Bucky, and smiled: "Anyway, Master Bucky still likes to listen to others talk more."

As soon as Alina finished speaking, Bucky's expression immediately darkened.

Her speaking ability was not very good. Three months ago, Mary's job was suddenly reversed, and Mary and Bucky's taboo, unclear relationship was also exposed.

No one present could understand Alina's sarcasm, even Quetzal could hardly help but praise Alina.

The best of the best. How dare she do this to Bucky?

Quetzal finally couldn't help it, sneaking behind Bucky, giving Alina a thumbs up.

Alina raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Young Master Bucky, is there anything else?"

Alina spoke briefly and concisely, as if she weren't the one who had just provoked him.

With a cold expression, Bucky finally glanced at her, but then he quickly turned around and left without any expression.

The entire audience shouted, but he was the only one who didn't know how to cherish it. If he didn't need his ears and eyes anymore, he could give them to those who needed them.

Ingrid snorted lightly.

Quetzal also felt Bucky's unhappiness, after all, he was his friend since childhood, and after a while of struggling, he finally turned around and left with Bucky.

It's just that before leaving, he couldn't bear to say: "Hey, Alina, I also like rock music, let's go out some other day?"

Ingrid's eyes widened. "Our Alina is not like you guys, don't even think about going out with her."

These words sounded so familiar. Quetzal quickly remembered, wasn't this what Alina had hinted at at the last gathering?

Although he didn't say anything, silently observing was no different from admitting these words.

At this moment, Ingrid was about to use these words to refute him, Quetzal suddenly touched his nose and said, "I'll go first."

Alina was not in the mood to be so leisurely.

Moreover, Quetzal and Bucky were on the same side; Alina didn't even want to say a word to him.

Before leaving, Quetzal couldn't help but turn his head to look, seeing Alina chatting with her band, and the lead singer was helping her change her drink.

Wow, so intimate.

Quetzal quickly retracted his gaze and hurriedly chased after Bucky.

Bucky had already stepped out of ONE. Quetzal also ran over: "Why are you walking so fast? Are you afraid you won't be able to control yourself and look back?"

Hearing his words, Bucky coldly glanced at Quetzal.

Quetzal laughed: "Don't tell me, Alina's boyfriend is very devoted to her."
