Shugo Chara: Be happy today too

The children in the choir suddenly opened their eyes wide, as if they had just woken up.

Yameng and Suzuki Seiichiro looked at Aoki An's back with surprise.

Even Marimée Tanaka couldn't help but stare at Aoki An in a daze. She didn't expect that there would be someone who had the same idea, wish, and dream as her. She signed up to play the piano just because she wanted to play the piano forever.

Sha Ling was stunned when she heard this, and then she frowned in confusion. It was just because An Jiang's condescending gaze at her at this time brought her some psychological pressure. In the end, she didn't dare to be as arrogant as she was at the beginning, and her tone was a little weaker:

"But if you want to do it, then what's the point of not being number one? Being ordinary is good, being happy is good, etc. These are just excuses for not being number one."

Sha Ling was really confused. She tilted her head slightly and said, "If I can't be the most special one, then what's the point of doing it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar PUA-style remarks immediately caused Qingmu An to feel physically uncomfortable.

Aoki An had no idea that the other party was speaking in a PUA manner. He just felt very confused and suddenly felt like vomiting.

It's a bit like a spontaneous symptom that hasn't occurred for a long time.

Almost like a conditioned reflex, Qing Mu An's face turned pale and her breathing slowed down, but she was not aware of her abnormal symptoms at all. Instead, she secretly suppressed the urge to vomit.

After spending so much time with Kukai, Aoki An also subconsciously followed his inner thoughts and said what he wanted to say directly:

"This is your own idea, your own opinion. What does it have to do with us? Why do you want to impose such an idea on us?"

“Since you think being number one is meaningful, then go and strive to be number one. Since you think being the most special member is meaningful, then go and be the most special member.”

"If Yamabuki-san insists on an answer, then I can only say that the activity itself makes us happy, and that is its meaning."

“The meaning of working hard to become better and making progress together with classmates in this process is not as superficial as the meaning of winning that you keep talking about.”

If she was really taken there by Yamabuki-san, then what about her secret efforts these days? What about the mutual assistance between Tanaka-san and Suzuki-san that we saw two days ago? What about the mutual practice between the Guardians?

Qing Mu An didn't want these to be denied, so she was a little emotional when she said these words, thinking that it was the emotional fluctuations that made the feeling of nausea grow stronger and her body feel uncomfortable.

Little did she know that she had been unconsciously suppressing her breathing.

Everyone was digesting Aoki An's words and felt enlightened by them, so no one noticed that there was something wrong with Aoki An.

Suzuki Seiichiro's eyes sparkled: "Senior Aoki..."

Yameng couldn't help but smile: "An-chan."

Matsushita was so moved by what Aoki An said that he couldn't help but stand up and say, "Senior Aoki is right. When our e-sports club team participated in the e-sports competition, we didn't aim for first place."

"I wanted to see what rank I could get with my efforts, so I kept working hard for a good ranking. When I won fifth place, not only my team was very happy, but also our classmates and friends who supported us were very happy. I think being happy was the greatest significance of that competition!"

Kobe doesn’t talk much, but he slightly raised his voice at the critical moment and said, “Yes, that e-sports game brought a lot of happiness to everyone.”

The students in the choir couldn't help but smile and started discussing: "Happy mood..."

“Being happy is more important…”

“…I’ve been wanting to say this for a long time. It’s actually okay if we don’t win.”

"..."

Everyone agrees.

At this time, because of Qingmu An's words, the people of Tiangang followed suit.

Sometimes it is very simple to grasp the direction of public opinion. As long as there is a point of view that makes more sense than the previous one, people who don't want to think will naturally flock to it to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Sha Ling was completely stunned and stood there, staring blankly at Aoki An as he turned and left. The other party seemed to not take her seriously at all. He just walked away nonchalantly after saying that.

Her heart was beating vigorously, and Sha Ling herself didn't know what was wrong with her. She just felt that the Aoki An just now seemed different from the Aoki An before. What was the difference?

It seems... the charm has become even greater?

Aoki Yasu suppressed his discomfort and walked in front of Tanaka Marimée. Under the other's slightly surprised gaze, he reached out and touched the little girl's head.

When she heard Sa Ling say "Don't you all want to win?", she remembered what the plot event was.

The girl who was made to cry by Saya in the anime had already been completely protected by Aoki An in advance.

With her heart strengthened, Marimée Tanaka will no longer feel that her dreams are boring, and will no longer let the egg of her soul turn black due to loneliness and denial of her own heart.

Aoki An curved his eyes and said, "Tanaka-san, shall we do it again?"

"..." Tanaka Marimeng's eyes became sore unconsciously, and then she nodded heavily and smiled, "Yeah!"

Yui's eyes lit up slightly: "Aoki-san."

Li Mo: "Sister."

Yameng: "An-chan."

Miya: "Xiao An!"

Aoki An smiled at them, walked back from behind the choir stage and went to his seat.

Afraid that Kobe, who was close by, would notice his distress and call for help, causing a commotion and disrupting the order that had been hard to maintain, Aoki Yasu deliberately lowered his head slightly, took the song sheet, and said, "Thank you, President."

Soon, the choir started playing again, led by Yui.

This time, everyone's voices were brighter and the melodious piano music was more beautiful.

After the song was over, everyone couldn't help but smile. This is the beauty that music brings.

Even Aoki An's discomfort was slightly relieved.

Before the singing, when Aoki Yasu walked to the edge of the stage, Yui and Yui were always behind Aoki Yasu, while Yuri was hiding behind Aoki Yasu's ear on his shoulder, and the white egg stayed obediently in his waist bag.

The three little ones couldn't see Qingmu An's expression, so naturally they didn't notice anything unusual about him.

They could all feel Aoki An's inner excitement, and were both surprised and not surprised by what he said.

After all, Aoki An had refuted a black cat in this way before, and now Aoki An has changed a lot.

Choir practice continued.

Aoki Yasu was used to his voice being lower than the chorus during his usual practice, so when he sang even lower this time, it did not attract the attention of the three little ones and Kobe.

After practicing twice more, Aoki An's face was no longer as pale as before, and the feeling of nausea was slowly subsiding.

But after it subsided, a vague feeling of nothingness inexplicably filled my chest, as if the distance between where I was standing and other places was infinite, and no matter how hard I tried to touch it, I couldn't touch this world.

Here it comes again... Qing Mu An closed her eyes. How many times has this feeling happened to her? She had forgotten. She only remembered that the last time she felt this way was after visiting Miye's family.

Nothingness, emptiness, loneliness... She didn't know why it happened suddenly, but it reminded her of what Little T had said to her twice in her past life:

[“I really don’t know what the point of holding such a meeting is. Isn’t it a waste of time?… It’s just a formality every day, it’s useless… Don’t you think so? Dealing with all these miscellaneous things… It’s so annoying, I don’t want to go… It’s so speechless!”]

[“Why do we have to record our graduation? Who came up with this idea? It’s so stupid. It’s so silly to walk around in front of the camera. I don’t want to be recorded by them... What do you think? Doesn’t it feel like kindergarten... It’s so dramatic to think that they will edit such a video and send it out. I don’t want to be filmed anyway. I’ll go back later. Do you want to go back?”]

Xiao T's words overturned Song Anan's perception of meetings and graduation videos. Song Anan had never thought that these two things would be so bad when viewed from another perspective.

But what Xiao T said is realistic and true.

The meeting time conflicted with the originally scheduled study plan, and the words spoken by the meeting leaders were only about certain things; it did look stupid for students to walk past the camera one after another.

Song Anan, who already admired Xiao T and had a filter for him, agreed with what Xiao T said.

But when Aoki An thought about how he impulsively refuted Sha Ling's words just now, he couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, are holding meetings and recording graduation videos really two bad things?

Qingmu An felt that he shouldn't think like this. Song Anan, who always faced the world optimistically and positively and believed that the world around her was beautiful, why would he have such thoughts?

Qing Mu An was a little confused and couldn't figure it out.

Just when she was about to think of the answer and grasp the key, Yui announced with a smile: "Okay, today's practice ends here. Everyone sang very well. Let's work hard together in tomorrow's performance!"

"Yes!"

Sa Ling and the four Xiangs left the hall at some point without knowing it.

The classmates around me left one after another.

When Yameng and the other four found that Aoki An did not come over, they turned around and saw Aoki An still standing stupidly on the choir stage.

Yameng didn't think much about it. On the first day, An-chan was standing on the chorus stage and didn't come over for a long time: "An-chan, it's time to go."

Qing Mu An blinked after coming back to his senses and looked at them: "You guys go to the garden first, Kong Hai will come to find me later."

"Okay, An-chan Gana~"

After Yameng and the other three left, Aoki An jumped off the choir stage and walked out.

Yui couldn't help wondering: "Will Kukai come now?"

These days, the choir always goes to the garden to have a tea party after practice, so Konghai will wait until Aoki An and the guardians have finished playing before coming to pick them up.

When the wind outside blew on his face, Qingmu An felt a little alive again.

Only then did I realize that the tightness in my chest was caused by my breathing slowing down which had started without me noticing when.

Hearing Yui's doubts, Aoki An's mind flashed with the image of Kukai and his hearty and wanton smile, and his eyes unconsciously curved:

"Just send him a message now."

Anyway, it was Kong Hai himself who told her to call him anytime if she had any problems, and to look for him whenever she felt upset, because the property belonged to her alone.

Besides, if I don't take the initiative then... Aoki An's cheeks blushed slightly. He quickly shook his head, threw the previous scene away, and sent a message to Kong Hai.

Upon seeing this, Yui, Yui and Yuri looked at each other, and they were in sync with each other and laughed out loud together.

"An An is thinking about Kong Hai again!"
