Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

Thursday, nine days until the live.

As the saying goes, sharpening a spear before a battle is always better than sharpening it. According to Li Xi's request, we have to rehearse overtime for the next few days, otherwise, as Li Xi said:

"If anyone embarrasses themselves on stage, go cry alone. No one will comfort you."

The requirements are really strict, Lixi.

It just seems that it can't go as you wish.

"...So, you tripped over a garbage bag from nowhere and fell flat on your face."

Let’s mint coins. How can this be dropped?

"That's it, hehe." Chihaya Aine stood beside the medical bed and scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Then he grabbed Deng's ankle, causing him to fall to the ground and twisting his ankle."

"It's not Aine's fault. I was too careless." Gao Songdeng was lying on the bed, groaning in pain, tears in his eyes, but he still wanted to make amends for Aine.

Then why is it that until now you are standing well while Deng is lying on the bed, Aine-san!

Although he had applied ice to his ankle, Deng's left ankle was still swollen quite dramatically and it looked like it would not heal for ten days or half a month.

"Hey...how about I give you a massage? Maybe it will help you get better faster. Otherwise, you'll have to use a wheelchair to go on stage on the day of the live performance."

At this point, there's no way to remedy the situation by blaming Aine. The key is to find a way to make Deng recover quickly.

I don’t want to touch the cute lamp’s pink feet, it’s all for the health of the lamp.

"As expected, people like me only spoil everyone's fun. I've ruined the results of everyone's hard work...hiss——"

The light's gravity-driven unfolding was interrupted by a frozen pack of ice from the freezer.

"Don't blame yourself. If you have to blame someone, blame Aine for being clumsy, right?"

"Ko-chan! I didn't mean to—Ouch~"

"Go explain to Miss Suyo." Kashiwa Sanki slapped Chihaya Aine with a sharp knife. "Hold the ice pack for Deng."

"Wow, I was wrong, Ke-chan, think of a way for me, or Soyorin will scold me." Aine took Kashiwa Miki's hand and acted coquettishly. "How about Ke-chan take Tomorin's place in rehearsal for a while!"

"No, Deng should sing the songs he wrote himself." Baihe Sanhui refused.

If he agreed, not only would Xiangzi be unhappy, but Deng would definitely feel unwanted and become autistic.

"Don't think about the live performance for now. Your afternoon rehearsal is the most urgent matter."

Baihe Sanhui found a pair of crutches from a corner full of miscellaneous items. They were left by a former student of the school and were now just the right size to use as a lamp.

"The lamp, try it to see if it fits."

However, Deng's body was still a little weak, and he had to stop and rest for a while after walking a few steps with crutches.

After some estimation, based on the current speed, we should be able to reach the RiNG gate before 8pm.

Well, it’s still half an hour before get off work ends, so I might as well leave a little early.

"Come on, Tomo, I'll carry you to RiNG." Kashiwa Sanki emptied his pockets, took off his windbreaker and threw it to Aine, then half-knelt in front of Tomo with his back to her. "Don't be late and make Miss Suyo angry."

"Eh? I, wait, I--" Deng was a little at a loss, and steam was coming out of his head as if the water was boiling.

"Hurry up, don't you want to go rehearse with everyone?" Kashiwa Sanhui said gently, with a holy light shining in his eyes.

"Don't be shy, Tomorin. If we could arrive earlier, maybe Soyorin would praise us, hehe." The big pink-haired dog laughed foolishly.

"Then... please, Dr. Ke."

Learning from the barbarians' strengths to defeat them, and being able to use the lantern's gravity killing move to capture the lantern, can be considered a rebellion against Tiangang.

Aiyin took the crutch and, holding onto Deng, slowly climbed onto Kashiwagawa Sanhui's back. Kashiwagawa Sanhui waited for Deng's hands and feet to clasp his neck and waist before slowly rising.

"Um, the light, could you please move it up a little bit? Just support my shoulders with your hands."

Deng usually speaks and acts like a child, so how could he have such a strong figure? You can't tell from his school uniform!

Strictly speaking, it was still class time, and Yuqiu's last class was most likely physical education. Even if Kashiwa Sanhui walked through the corridor with a lamp on his back, no one would see him.

It doesn't matter if someone sees us. All the students in the grade know the school doctor, Sanhui Baihe. Although it's not a good image for a male school doctor to carry a female student on his back, Deng is an injured patient. Should he let her get down and walk by herself?

"Hey, Ke-chan, you didn't tell us last time why you always wear a windbreaker."

Walking around was boring, so Aine took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Well, I didn't want to tell you, for fear that you would laugh at me for being childish." Baihe Sanhui refused verbally, but actually he still had a rather indifferent expression.

"When I celebrated my first birthday in Neon, only my senior sister gave me a set of clothes, the same kind of clothes I often wear. It was like everyone else had forgotten me."

"What happened next? Are Dr. Ke and Senior Sister together?" Deng also leaned over to join in the fun.

"No, but I did have a crush on my senior sister for a while. Guys like us who haven't been in a relationship in our teens and twenties are the easiest to get. Any gift worth a few thousand yen can make us remember you for the rest of our lives, and we'll chant your name until we die."

"Hey, I didn't expect that Ko-chan is still that kind of innocent boy. He acts like a playboy all day long." Aine deliberately dragged out her tone to pretend to be unbelievable, and then she became obedient after being glared at by Kashiwa Miki.

"Later, I unexpectedly discovered that as long as I dressed like a foreign gentleman, neither the seniors nor the teachers would ask me to bow 90 degrees. I could just take off my hat and salute or simply bend at the waist, so I kept doing it that way."

"Is it because of such a random reason?" Deng and Aine looked at Kashiwa Miki, who had no intention of joking at all, and they were a little out of touch.

"This isn't just a casual excuse. China and Japan have different cultures. Bowing to someone for something so insignificant is considered spineless in our country."

"Then, Ke-chan, wasn't there any targeting from the seniors?"

"A little bit, but this is a matter of principle, I can't give in at all. It's okay in Haneda with high school students like you, but it's much more troublesome when we're out in the adult world."

After saying that, Kashiwa Sanhui let out a fake sigh: "Aine, how nice it would be if I had a European appearance."

"Eh? Isn't Ke-chan very handsome now?"

"No, no, if I looked European, maybe someone would bow to me."

"Ke-chan, don't make jokes like this casually. It would be bad if adults heard it." Aine had a speechless expression.

"hey-hey;-)"
