Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

Friday is a very delicate day. We can neither enjoy the holiday as freely as Saturday and Sunday, nor do we have to relax and devote ourselves to study and work like Monday.

But for Xiangzi, having seven days in a week doesn't really make a difference. In fact, he can relax more from Monday to Friday because he has to attend classes and doesn't have to work the whole day.

Of course, that was Xiangzi's previous view. Now the weekend is a real day of relaxation.

After 4pm, the week's study ends, and you can spend the whole evening enjoying music with Kashiwa Sanhui on the small stage of the Only Wines bar.

Listening to the beat of the synthesizer, his hands dance freely on the keys. This unique violinist, Sanhui Kashiwa, is willing to pull the bow to his own rhythm, filling the framework outlined by the keyboard with heavy piano sounds.

After a song is finished, they can look at each other in tacit understanding and turn the music score to start the next melody.

Even without having to sing out loud himself, Xiangzi felt extremely relaxed just sitting next to Kashiwa Sanhui and watching his body swaying slightly to the rhythm.

Although there is an unexpected guest coming in tonight, which ruins the atmosphere a bit.

"Thank you for your hard work. Xiangzi's piano playing is still as amazing as before!"

After the song was over, the busty JK Nagasaki Suyo, who was wearing the Tsukinomori school uniform, clapped her hands vigorously and handed a glass of iced lemonade to Xiangzi, who was sitting on the piano chair and breathing slightly.

This scene happened almost five or six times tonight.

Kashiwa Sanhui and the big brother in charge of the saxophone looked at each other speechlessly. It was obvious that tonight was a jazz special, and the main melody was either saxophone or bass guitar. Even Kashiwa Sanhui's violin was just playing as a supporting role.

It's as abstract as giving MVP to a support who is only responsible for providing control instead of a jungler who controls all resources and initiates team fights and a top laner who is responsible for single-lane pushes.

"Well, thank you Su Shi... um!" Xiangzi politely took the water handed to him by Su Shi, smoothed his hair and took a big sip, but his scalp was numb from the cold water.

"Well, Miss Sushi," Kashiwa Sanhui put down his violin and stretched his muscles while saying to the smiling Sushi, "It's almost ten o'clock now. Are you really not considering going home?"

What's more, it's a typhoon outside now, and if you're any later you won't be able to get a taxi.

"Hey, is it so late already?" Su Shi took out his cell phone in surprise. It was 9:33.

Besides the time, there was also a message that Aine had sent over an hour ago.

[Soyorin, Xiangzi and Ke-chan finally found a band!]

[When did this happen? I have no idea!]

[And the band is fully staffed, even their costumes are ready!]

[It seems we really can’t compete with others! ]

[By the way, Ke-chan looks super handsome in that costume. I have photos here!]

There were seven messages in total, and Su Shi's heart sank a little with every message he read.

Xiangzi...she clearly said she would always...

"Ms. Sushi?"

New crychic? That’s what Xiangzi said…

"Are you okay, Miss Sushi? Do you need a little rest?"

Am I...really doing this for nothing? It turns out I'm the only one who's been dreaming of getting everyone back to the past...

"Ms. Nagasaki Suyo!"

"Ah? Oh...what's wrong, doctor?" Su Shi, who was called by her name directly by Kashiwa Sanhui, withdrew his confused thoughts and responded in a daze.

"Let me ask you, do you want to go home and rest tonight? It's storming outside, understand?"

Afraid that Su Shi couldn't hear clearly, Baihe Sanhui deliberately imitated the way Deng recited poetry and spoke to Su Shi.

At some point, Xiangzi went backstage to change his clothes, leaving the piano chair empty. The band Li Xiao had hired were stretching their bodies and tuning their instruments, preparing to take over.

It's time to rest.

"I...I hope I can stay here tonight." Su Shi gritted her teeth, mustered up the courage, and took Kashiwa Sanhui's hand and headed straight for the empty Rising next door. "Please follow me, I have something to tell you."

He felt embarrassed to be rude to a lady high school student. Li Xiao was busy drinking with old customers, and Xiangzi was changing clothes. Now there was really no one to stop Su Shi.

"Hey, Miss Su Shi, calm down. I'm selling my art, not my body..."

When he got to the next room, he didn't even bother to close the door to block the raindrops coming in. Su Shi just dumped out all the problems in his mind.

"Doctor, are you joining someone else's band?"

"Did Xiangzi join you?"

"Even if Xiangzi and I are good friends, why don't you tell me about this?"

"You clearly know that I have always wanted Xiangzi to return to us, why..."

"Why didn't you stop Xiangzi!?"

Looking at Su Shi who said a lot of words in one breath and was trembling and breathing heavily, Baihe Sanhui thought a lot in an instant.

But there must be an order to all the words. For Nagasaki Suyo, a stubborn and pitiful girl who is obsessed with the past, Kashiwa Miki doesn't know whether he should directly expose her fantasy or continue to make up a lie and hide it from her.

"Do you mind if I smoke?" Although he asked this, Kashiwa Sanhui still lit up the sandalwood pipe filled with chopped tobacco leaves.

"Well, Su Shi, I'm embarrassed to keep this secret from you anymore."

"I did it. I took the initiative to contact several students from Yuqiu, formed a band with them, and kept urging Xiangzi to join."

"Why...why, doctor, why are you..."

Before Su Shi could finish his words, he was pressed against the wall by Baihe Sanhui. The pipe hanging from his mouth, slowly emitting white smoke, irritated Su Shi's eyes, but was immediately taken away by Baihe Sanhui's other free hand.

"Because I hope Xiangzi can look forward."

"Do you think Xiangzi has completely forgotten her former band? I can tell you responsibly that she might be even more deeply involved than you are."

"It's just that she kept running away, and only came to me when there was nowhere else to run."

"I hope Xiangzi can get over the shadow of crychic's disbandment. I want her to reconcile with herself first. Therefore, I will form a brand new crychic, without Mu, without any of her former teammates, including you, Miss Sushi."

"If she continues to stay with the old crychic members, I can guarantee you that within six months at most, Xiangzi will be completely crushed by her own guilt. By then, she'll just run away even further, so far that even I won't be able to find her."

After saying that, Baihe Sanhui let go of Su Shi, whose eyes were full of shock, and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"But...how can you be sure that what you said...is true?"

"At least that's what I think. You don't have to believe it, Miss Su Shi." Baihe Sanhui drank the espresso in his hand in one gulp, and it was so bitter that he grimaced.

"Hiss... Li Xiao put too many coffee beans in this batch... It doesn't matter, you still have a chance to compete with me."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Su Shi was already somewhat desperate. For the moment, regardless of whether Kashiwa Miki was right or not, at least he knew exactly what he wanted to do, while Nagasaki Su Shi was completely confused and instinctively tried to keep Xiangzi. But why and how to do it, she had no idea.

But when Su Shi heard Kashiwa Sanhui say that he could still compete with him, he felt a little hope again.

Is there any chance of a turnaround?

"At least for now, I'm just trying to get Xiangzi to join us."

"But Xiangzi even has his performance costumes."

Chihaya Aine from the ditch must have followed Ichiri to Fanxing and found out, and then decisively sold the information to Su Shi.

If we could have talked about it tomorrow, why would this mess have happened today?

"Nominally, Xiangzi is not yet a member of the band. You still have a chance to snatch Xiangzi away from me. We can compete."

"It's still unknown who will win. If you want to prove me wrong, just use all your tricks and trick Xiangzi into joining your band."

The rain outside was getting heavier, the strong wind blew up the hem of Baihe Sanhui's clothes, and a loud thunder struck down, the thunder was deafening.

A mechanical female voice sounded in Kashiwa Sanhui's mind.

[Nagasaki Sushi series mission: 1 has been accepted.]

"...Okay, I promise you." Su Shi, with a determined look in his eyes, extended his right hand. "I will prove you wrong."

"Heh." Baihe Sanhui stretched out his left hand, and the two hands of different sizes clenched and touched each other at the same time.

"If you are right, prove it to me!"
