My second life is a bit strange?

Xingge was a little confused. The box contained the most expensive cosmetics: "This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

"Sister Xingge, please accept this. It's nothing to us." Hearing Feng's advice, she had no choice but to accept.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Goto-kun is now an artist under my management. I wonder if anyone is interested in signing with me?" Kaguya took out a contract and placed it on the table.

"Hey??"

Everyone was taken aback, but then became excited. They were only high school students, yet they had already been noticed by the company, which meant they had a promising future.

Xingge is an adult after all. She searched Kaguya's name online and knew from the gifts she gave that the other party came from a well-off family, but she didn't expect that she was actually backed by the Shinomiya Group.

"Liang, you signed it without even looking at it?"

Before Nijigasaki could stop him, Ryo had already signed his name and looked at Nijigasaki with a puzzled expression: "Didn't Pochi-chan already sign it?"

Goto looked awkwardly to the side: "Ah... well... actually, I signed it on a whim."

"...It's alright, I trust Senior Shirogane."

"If Senior Ryo has already signed, then I will too..."

"Xiduo, don't be impulsive." Xingge quickly stopped her immature behavior.

"Ms. Ijichi, you should already know this, but the Maple Leaf Group has no connection with the Shinomiya family. It belongs solely to me and Maple."

Xingge trusted Feng's character, but when it came to her sister's future, she carefully examined each clause. After finding nothing amiss, she handed the choice over to her sister.

"I know very well that I'm not a smart person, and if I can't make money with the band, I won't be able to give my sister a happy life... I have to consider whether this might be my only chance..."

Nijika and Kita eventually signed their names.

"Liang, why did you sign so decisively?"

Upon hearing Feng's question, she replied without hesitation, "Because Little Boqi is very interesting, I don't want the band to end and break up."

They've already developed a deep friendship.

After the celebration banquet, Kaguya put away the contract, took it back to get it stamped and copied, and Hoshika saw her to the door.

"Miss Shinomiya...why do you have such high hopes for these children? At their current level, they are not good enough to stand on a higher platform."

"Because they are young, creative, energetic, and progressing very quickly, that's why I'm optimistic about them."

"I'm entrusting Hongxia to you from now on."

"It's natural."

Everyone left. Hongxia looked at her sister's thoughtful expression, leaned close to her, and took her arm.

"What are you thinking about, sister?"

Xingge couldn't help but rub her sister's head: "You must never perform with the goal of making money. You must keep this passion in your heart, otherwise you will be very tired."

"Ah."

Hongxia knew she wasn't particularly bright, and perhaps only a band could earn her money. That was her reason for signing the band so that her sister could have a better life.

When Feng returned home, the TV was still on, and Xiao Gui was asleep on the sofa. When he picked her up, she was still muttering in her sleep. He put her back in bed, covered her with a blanket, and poured her a glass of water to prevent her from getting thirsty at night.

"Good night."

Feng closed the door and went to look for Yu Xing, only to find that he hadn't returned yet: "Are you out playing with your classmates this late?"

ding dong~

Feng's phone vibrated. He received a text message asking him to go to the company at 10 a.m. the next day to help shoot a music video and re-record the original song that the band had finished working on.

Looks like tomorrow will be busy again.

After washing up, Feng scrolled through his phone in bed for a while before going to sleep early to prepare for tomorrow.

The next morning, when he was preparing breakfast for his family, he found Yuyuki asleep on the sofa, clutching a soccer ball, with the TV still on.

Feng turned off the TV, covered Yu Xing with a blanket, and tried to keep the noise down while making breakfast, but Yu Xing was still woken up by the aroma.

Seeing the freshly fried bacon and eggs on the coffee table, I reached out to grab them.

Feng immediately slapped his hand away: "Go wash your hands before you eat."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch." Yu Xing's hand was red from being slapped, and he was instantly wide awake. He immediately jumped up to wash up, with a soccer ball twirling around his feet: "I actually fell asleep while watching the game last night."

"It's a good thing you didn't catch a cold. By the way, why do you carry a ball with you all the time?"

"The coach said this can help develop a feel for the ball."

"Okay, take your time eating, I'm going to the company."

"Be careful on the road." Yu Xing was leisurely eating his breakfast when he suddenly paused, "The company?"

Kaede had already left the house and arrived at the company in Eriri's car, while Kaguya sat on the sofa sipping red tea.

"You've arrived." She got up to prepare tea for everyone, took out some snacks she had made, and chatted with them about what had happened during the Chinese New Year.

The older brothers fought each other over the inheritance, and the dinner table was full of hypocrisy and deceit. I've had enough.

As they were talking, the voices of the girls came from the doorway.

"good morning everyone."

Nijika greeted them with boundless energy, while Kita pushed Goto from behind. No matter how many times he rode the elevator, he would always get so scared that his legs would go weak when he encountered strangers.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started. Feng, go to the recording studio and record the piano version of 'The Wind Rises.' Goto, you guys get into character."

When Kaguya gets into work mode, she becomes decisive and efficient.

Feng went into the recording studio to get a feel for it, and once he was familiar with it, he made a gesture to the people outside.

The girls put on their headphones and listened quietly.

A gentle prelude began, then Feng's fingers gradually increased in pressure before abruptly stopping, the sound abruptly ceasing.

The moment of pause was a feeling of being moved but unable to express it.

The prelude is a flashback, but the story has only just begun.

Chapter 175 The Girl Who Couldn't Concentrate

Feng's touch was gentle, her body swaying slightly, like a gentle breeze after a strong wind has stopped. Having already experienced graduation season, they could feel the helplessness and reluctance.

His music is as gentle as he is, and this is what makes Kita admire him.

They seemed to see yesterday's farewell, and the vibrant summer that flicked from their fingertips.

After soaring high, the music slowed down and softened again, and those slender hands seemed to be soothing either the story or the hearts of others.

The transitions between different segments are just like scene changes in a movie; Feng's hands fly, increasing the force but slowing down the pace.

The way the music played, with its varying intensity, almost brought tears to their eyes.

The sudden change of key caught everyone off guard, and the final ending was a long harmony. Feng lowered his head, his eyes full of regret.

The girls applauded from the bottom of their hearts; the song was so moving.

"Waaah, we're already in our second year of high school. Our teacher really wasn't lying to us; three years really is a short time." Hongxia hugged Liang and couldn't help but cry.

Another year will be the time to say goodbye. She still wants to go to school with Ryo and laugh and talk together.

"Okay, stop crying. Even after graduation, we'll always be together. After all, the band may be over, but that doesn't mean it's over..."

“That’s true.” Hongxia wiped away her tears: “It’s all because Shirogane-senpai’s song is too heart-wrenching.”

Just then, Feng came out of the dubbing studio and overheard them discussing him.

"Is it okay?"

"Not bad?? Senior Shirogane is practically at the ceiling level, he's too strong!!"

Hearing Kita praise him like that, Kaede felt a little embarrassed.

The staff member in charge of the recording said that this was the highest quality piece of music he had ever recorded in all his years of work.

Goto's eyes were sparkling as he looked at Kaede. The piano version was completely different from the one he wrote for her. It was truly amazing.

"How are your preparations going?"

"It's already adjusted to its optimal state."

"Yes, record all the previous songs, and then make music videos for the songs 'Promising Youth' and 'Melancholy Farewell'."

The professional team discussed the style of the music video with them, and when Feng passed by the sofa, she accidentally bumped into the bag that Goto had brought.

The bag fell onto the sofa, revealing the clothes inside, which were the ones they had bought last time.

"Ughhhh!" Goto rushed over in a panic, stuffed the clothes back into his pocket, and used them to shield himself.

"Since you brought it, why don't you wear it?"

"Ah, this is because...that..." Goto was just making an excuse when he heard Kaguya's voice.

"It's about to start, Goto-san, go change your clothes."

"Ah...yes." Goto resignedly took the clothes to change, looking rather listless.

Kaguya sighed, "This child, if I hadn't mentioned it, wouldn't have even brought his clothes."

"I knew it! I thought Pochi-chan had made a qualitative leap."

After Goto changed her clothes, Kita kept taking pictures with his phone, completely captivated by her beauty.

"Wow~ Goto is so cute! With looks like that, why is he even a guitarist? He should just debut as an idol!!"

Upon hearing Kita's words, Goto lowered his head, not daring to respond at all, fearing that Kaguya would really make him become an idol in front of the screen and act cute or something.

"Boqi-chan, you've got a double chin now."

Feng patted her back, and Goto reflexively straightened her head and puffed out her chest.

However, seeing so many professional cameras around, it couldn't even last ten seconds before reverting to its original state, which left Feng both amused and exasperated.

Since Goto and the others couldn't dance, the instructor designed a few simple moves.

Kita and the others have a natural flair for the camera, so the filming progressed relatively quickly. However, they encountered difficulties when shooting outdoors, as the curious stares of passersby made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Everyone, please relax and just play around here as usual."

Upon hearing his instructor's words, Goto immediately hid behind a tree, picked up a twig, and started digging in the soil.
