Zongman: Dream with me

"Goto-san."

"sorry!"

Yukinoshita looked at the nervous Goto Ichiri and shook her head: "Don't worry about it. I know your temper, and you should know mine too. Let's do it again."

"Ok."

Yukinoshita looked at Goto Ichiri, who was trying hard to keep his eyes forward, and gave a rare wry smile: It's a bit too easy to understand, he really hasn't changed at all! Yukinoshita couldn't help but think of the way Yuu fooled the other person with just a few words when they were little.

Goto Ichiri looked at the expressionless Yukinoshita Yukino and lamented that even after not seeing her for many years, Yukinoshita-senpai was still as strict as ever. Yuu-senpai had said that people like her were difficult to teach, just like him, so he had taken them in out of kindness.

Senior You is such a good person.

Goto Ichiri reminisced about the past and gradually relaxed. His fingers relaxed, and he could bend the strings and cut the notes in one smooth movement, his performance improving. This attracted the attention of the tuner sitting backstage and the two bassists who were quietly playing on their phones next to her.

"Wow, this is Pochi-chan's true strength?" Ms. PA smiled and looked at Pochi-chan on the stage.

"I really didn't expect that." Liang also responded.

"She has always played well, but her personality is affecting her performance." Kasugano Sora looked at her phone and said something to someone, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the two people in the narration.

There is a story.

"It seems that Miss Kasugano knows Pochi-chan very well. Can you tell me about it?"

"No."

"I was rejected. I'm so sad."

"If you continue like this, I will charge you." Liang said expressionlessly to PA-chan who was leaning on him.

"Be careful or I'll report you to the store manager."

"Then I can only strike first." Although he said this, Liang's eyes did not leave the phone, as if he was oblivious to the interference of the PA.

"By the way, are you two really not going to practice?" PA-chan stood up and asked curiously.

"unnecessary."

"I'm good enough."

"..."

After hearing the two people's answers, PA-chan covered her mouth with her wide sleeves and left with a smile. It seems that there will be a lot of fun in the store in the future.

The two girls remained where they were, one with short blue hair and the other with long silver hair in twin ponytails. They were both doing their own things and didn't talk much to each other, but they both acquiesced to each other's presence.

They are bassists, they are silent, whether on stage or off stage.

---

"Great!"

"what--!"

Under the pressure of Yukinoshita Yukino, Pochi-chan practiced again and again and played better and better. Finally, she was startled by the cheering blonde girl at the door and fell onto the stage.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you okay?"

The girl and Yukinoshita quickly ran onto the stage and helped the fallen Goto Ichiri up. Ichiri looked at the unfamiliar blonde girl, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine. Who are you?"

"My name is Miyazono Kaoru, and I'm a member of Yukino's band, a violinist and guitarist."

"Ah, you...good." After saying this, Goto Ichiri hurriedly hid behind Yukinoshita Yukino.

At first glance, she knew he was someone she wasn't good at dealing with. The sunshine aura of such a person was fatal to a creature like her.

"Sorry, she's a little shy."

"Ah, it's okay. It was my fault in the first place. I'm sorry again, and I apologize to the store manager for causing you trouble."

"Don't say any more meaningless words like this. Just help me later."

"No problem. I'll make sure Kousei does a good job later."

"Hey, you're too cunning. The manager is clearly teaching you how to do the job."

It was not until then that Yukinoshita Yukino realized that the older sister in front of her with a slightly serious expression was the manager of this music performance hall - Ijichi Hoshika, who was met by Arima Kyoei and Miyazono Kaoru on the way here.

The store manager was out shopping at the time. Since Arima Kousei had been to "Fanxing" several times with Mu You and was familiar with the store manager, he greeted her and came back with her.

Yijizhi Xingge glanced around and didn't see anyone. She sighed. It seemed that he was really not there. But he left such an occasion to his own sister. He didn't know if it was a sudden incident or intentional. No, it was definitely intentional, otherwise he wouldn't have kept it secret from them.

If she hadn't just confirmed it with Kousei, even she would have been kept in the dark.

"But isn't that guy really afraid of being beaten up when he comes back?"

But I must teach this guy a lesson later, for letting me be the bad guy.

The store manager came back and seemed to have something to tell everyone, so everyone stopped what they were doing. After getting to know everyone, Ichichi Xingge announced something.

"Ahem - I have something I need to explain to you now..."

"What, Qiong-chan has a performance tonight, why didn't I know about it!" Hong Xia was stunned.

"I thought someone had told you guys, but who knew that guy would do such a reckless thing and even disappear now? What a jerk."

Yukinoshita Yukino fell silent. Although they had been training recently and had achieved some results, if they were to suddenly go on stage without any notice...

She turned her gaze to Kasugano Sora, who had been silent the entire time, and the rest of the team also looked at her.

"Of course, if you are really not prepared..."

"No need," just when Yidizhi Xingge was about to give up, a cold voice came out, and Qiong walked in front of everyone and bowed to the manager first.

"I'm sorry, manager, and everyone, Yuu has caused you trouble. But we will do a good job in tonight's performance."

Qiong's action surprised everyone who knew her. Miyazono Kaoru even hugged her excitedly.

"It's okay, it's not Qiong's fault. If you want to blame someone, blame some bastard!"

Qiong broke free somewhat awkwardly and apologized again.

"It's okay. The key now is how to overcome the current difficulties. Everyone is here, let's rehearse first." Yukinoshita Yukino suggested, and Arima Kousei and Shiina Mashiro also responded.

"Yeah. And that...thank you everyone!" Seeing that everyone was really not angry about You's sudden arrangement, Kasugano Sora's heart was touched, so she lowered her head again, blushed, thanked everyone, and left pretending to be calm.

Watching Qiong's figure disappear in the corner, Xun finally couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm happy. Qiong has finally grown up."

In response to her boyfriend's question, Xun wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a look of relief.

"What is this all about?"

"So this was all your plan?"

Unlike Arima Kousei's doubts, Yukinoshita Yukino noticed something was wrong.

“No, it’s true that You had something to do temporarily, but it’s also true that he didn’t tell us about the performance. It can only be called a coincidence.

But I didn't expect Qiong to stand up. It seems that she really cares about Yuu and has really changed."

"I didn't expect that, but aren't you overreacting a bit?" Arima Kousei was still a little curious.

"Even if I tell you, you still won't understand! The first step is often the hardest. But You really went too far this time. If it weren't for the store manager, we might still be in the dark... He must be punished!"

"That's not good. Yuu might be hiding something."

"Kousei, whose side are you on?!"

"Okay, okay, I'll help you, but what are you going to do... Wait, you haven't given up yet, have you?"

"Of course, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Kousei, you have to help me this time. Let's catch him together! Yukino, Mashiro, do you want to join us?"

"Hmm?" Yukinoshita and Shiina Mashiro also came over curiously.

......

Just as Xun and the others were plotting loudly, Qiong had already arrived at the training room. After closing the door, her tense face instantly fell. She clenched her hands, stamped her feet in anger, and said in a very fast speed, "You bastard, You bastard, You bastard..."

She took out her phone and stared at the familiar number on the screen for a long time. Qiong then silently put the phone away. She didn't call the number, nor did she send a text message to complain.

Qiong looked at the shadow on the wall, and saw herself going from being so angry that she jumped up and down, to calming down alone. It seemed that something was really different.
