I have pure love with them

"Ok?"

His thoughts were interrupted. Quan looked at the girl sitting in his arms. He saw the girl's eyes filled with anxiety. After a brief silence, Quan's hand gently fell on her head, stroked it slightly, and then gave an answer.

"No, I just feel a little emotional. As older brothers, Shun and I both care about our younger sisters."

"...Is Brother Quan thinking about what's going on in the next room?"

Sensing a little bit of Izumi's thoughts, Tokinoya Miu's eyes flickered slightly. She pursed her lips and opened her mouth to try to change Izumi's mind, but Izumi looked into her eyes, smiling without saying a word.

When Tokinoya Mion felt a little flustered, Izumi raised her head, put her hand on the mouse, gently clicked the paused animation, and continued watching.

"Let's continue watching the animation."

"..."

Seeing that Quan's eyes were no longer looking at her, Mio also looked back at the screen. Looking at the Little Pony animation on the screen, she was about to say something but stopped herself...

"Is there no quick fix?"

In Aine's room, Goto Ichiri and Aine were each holding a guitar.

Ichiri sat on the edge of the bed, while Aine sat on the carpet, looking at Goto Ichiri with anticipation, which made Goto Ichiri, who was not good at socializing, feel conflicted.

She herself didn't think there was any shortcut to guitar skills, but facing Aine's expectant gaze, she couldn't refuse her and hesitated, not knowing how to start the conversation.

"A method... maybe... maybe..."

Facing the hesitant Goto Ichiri, Chihaya Aine also knew the answer. She looked down at the guitar in her arms and sighed helplessly.

"Is it all I can do to try hard?"

“Come on!”

Goto Ichiri was not good at comforting people, so he could only use all his life's knowledge to say a few words of encouragement to Aine who was sitting on the carpet and feeling depressed.

But Aine happened to be the type of person who cared about what other people thought of her, and after hearing Goto Ichiri's encouragement, she felt a little better. Thinking that she would be participating in a live performance the day after tomorrow, she still tried hard to ask Goto Ichiri for advice despite the pressure.

In response to Aiyin's questions, Goto Ichiri answered every one of them and taught in great detail, so that Aiyin could not help but sigh with emotion after listening to Goto Ichiri's explanation and personal demonstration.

"That's amazing! I think Ichiri can become a guitar teacher in the future!"

“No… not to that extent yet, right? I’m just average… but Aine has made such great progress in such a short time.”

"Really? But I'm going to participate in a live performance the day after tomorrow. It will be difficult to perform at a live performance in such a short time. Do you think I can perform at a live performance at my current level?"

Gently plucking the strings of the guitar in her arms, Aine looked towards Goto Ichiri, somewhat curious about his evaluation of her.

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment, and looking at Aine's expectant eyes, she forced a smile and her eyes became vague.

"Well, well... I haven't participated in any live performances, so I don't know much about this, so I can't make an objective evaluation..."

Maybe it was because he had been with Izumi for a long time and had always been accustomed to Izumi's perfunctory rhetoric, so when faced with Aine's question, he used it naturally, which made Aine stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but stare at Goto Ichiri's slightly hot face.

"I always feel like there's something familiar about Yili's answer."

"..."

She thought of Izumi for some reason, and thought that she was in the next room right now, sharing the same room with Tokinoya Mion. Aiyin couldn't help but frown. She looked around and suddenly thought of an interesting idea. Just as she was about to share it with Goto Ichiri, her phone rang with a message notification tone.

"Ok?"

Aiyin put down the guitar in her arms, stood up and walked to the desk, picked up the mobile phone on it, clicked on the screen and took a look, and found that the message came from Nagasaki Souyo.

"Eh?"

They often message each other, but the first time she saw Nagasaki Soyo actively message her, she couldn't help but feel surprised.

192. Happiness belongs to them, but Soyo can only be alone

"Xiao Mu, you haven't thought about it yet?"

In the familiar coffee shop, Wakaba Mutsu lowered his head, bit the straw gently, and looked down at the bubbles floating in the cup. He remained silent in response to Nagasaki Sose's questions.

He learned from Shiina Riki that the band would be the substitutes in a live performance in the near future. This just happened to be in line with Nagasaki Soyo's wish, who was already thinking about deepening the band's influence and hoping to attract more attention. However, after a day of rehearsal in the recording studio, he realized that Chihaya Aine's guitar level was not enough to support a live performance.

Although there was still one person, Kaname Rakuna, who had no technical problems, her casual personality made Nagasaki Shoyo feel uneasy. So after thinking about it carefully, Nagasaki Shoyo finished the band rehearsal and immediately contacted her former teammates after separating from the others.

Wakaba Mutsu, who had just finished his dance class, suddenly received a contact from Nagasaki Soyo. He did not refuse, but silently met her according to the address sent by Nagasaki Soyo.

But as soon as she met Nagasaki Soyo and sat down in the coffee shop, she heard that she hoped she could join her current band, which made Wakaba Mu feel helpless for a moment. She didn't want to agree, but she didn't know how to refuse the other party. She could only lower her head and use silence as her answer.

Takamatsu Tomo and Shiina Tateki have both returned to the band. After learning that Toyokawa Shoko had no chance of returning to the band, Nagasaki Shoyo wanted to let Wakaba Mutsu, who has excellent guitar skills, return to the band, so that the band could be barely reorganized.

Eliminating the two unstable factors of Chihaya Aine and Kaname Rakuna, they can also carry out the band activities normally, and when they earn enough... no, as long as they have enough economic value, she thinks Xiangzi has no reason not to come back.

"At that time, I never really understood Xiaomu's answer. Why did he say something like 'I never felt happy with band activities'? But Xiaomu cares about Xiangzi, right?"

"..."

Wakaba Mutsu slowly raised his head and looked at Nagasaki Shoyo who was sitting opposite him.

She didn't understand. Xiangzi had already made it so clear that he didn't want to have any contact with Nagasaki Soyo anymore, so why Nagasaki Soyo was still unwilling to give up.

"The band disbanded, and it wasn't Xiaomu's fault."

"..."

"But, at that time, Xiao Mu in the band didn't completely hate such activities, so, once again, let's start over, okay?"

Looking at the girl in front of him who was staring at him closely, Wakaba Mu could feel Nagasaki Shoyo's inner persistence, but she was not very interested in the band. With her eyelids slightly lowered, Wakaba Mu slowly spoke -

"No."

"why?"

Nagasaki Shoyo couldn't help but clench his hands on the table, staring straight at Wakaba Mutsu in front of him.

"Band, no interest."

"Then why did you join the band in the first place? Was it just because Xiangzi wasn't here? But I am also working hard for Xiangzi to come back. As long as we carry out the band's activities well and become popular, Xiangzi will definitely be willing to come back!"

Nagasaki Shoyo couldn't help but feel angry and nervous, but the expression on her face still looked very sincere. She stared closely at Wakaba Mutsu in front of her, hoping that her words could impress the other party and make him agree to join her band.

"I won't be coming back."

"why?"

Faced with the nagging Nagasaki Soushi, Wakaba Mutsu did not give any answer or explanation. He just stood up silently, paid the bill under the gaze of Nagasaki Soushi, and left the coffee shop.

"..."

Turning his head slightly, Nagasaki Shoyo clenched his hands as he watched Wakaba Mutsu leave.

In the band, whether it was Shiina Tatsuki, Takamatsu Touma, or Nagasaki Soyo, they could all tell what they were thinking in their hearts, but the only one was Wakaba Mu, she could never understand her and didn't know what she was thinking.

His invitation to Toyokawa Shoko was rejected, and now his invitation to Wakaba Mutsu was rejected again. Nagasaki Shoyo felt gloomy inside.

If Wakaba Mutsuki was willing to join the band, relying on her identity as the daughter of another artist, she could attract considerable attention, and might even be interviewed by reporters, thus allowing the band to embark on a smooth road. But now that she has been rejected by Wakaba Mutsuki, Nagasaki Shoyo feels disappointed and dissatisfied, as well as a little confused.

"What should I do..."

Biting her lip, she looked down at her phone and looked at the contacts on it.

Toyokawa Shoko, Wakaba Mutsu, Chihaya Aine, Shiina Tatsuki, Takamatsu Tomo.

There was no one she could rely on. Looking down, she saw Quan’s profile picture.

"..."

After pursing his lips slightly, Nagasaki Shoyo silently closed his eyes and stood up. Not long after Wakaba Mu left, he also paid the bill and left the coffee shop, returning to his apartment...

[Will you feel pressure for the live show the day after tomorrow?]

Chihaya Aine was stunned for a moment when she suddenly received a message from Nagasaki Soushi. After seeing the content of her message, she couldn't figure out why she asked these questions for a moment. She couldn't help but pursed her lips, frowned, and thought about how to answer.

[The schedule is a bit tight, but I am working hard!]

After making a cute expression, Chihaya Aine suddenly raised her head and looked across at Goto Ichiri who was looking at the guitar with his head down.

"Hey, Yili, let's take a photo together!"

"Eh?"

Before Goto Ichiri could react, Chihaya Aine had already come to Goto Ichiri's side and sat down next to her. She then pointed the camera at herself and Goto Ichiri, capturing the scene of the two of them holding guitars.

By the time Goto Ichiri reacted, Chihaya Aine had already sent the group photo to Nagasaki Soyo.

Sitting alone in the dim room, with confused and lifeless eyes, she flipped through the conversation between Toyokawa Shoko and herself a long time ago, constantly revisiting the past, trying to imagine what they would be like now if Toyokawa Shoko had not left the band. Toyokawa Shoko saw a small message pop up above the screen emitting a faint fluorescent light. Her eyes regained focus and she silently clicked on the message -

What caught her eye was a photo of a girl and her friends.

The two girls are wearing pajamas of similar colors, their bodies are close together, and each is holding a guitar in their arms. Under the soft and bright light, the colors of the whole photo are so bright, forming a sharp contrast with the dim room she is in.

Nagasaki Shoyo, sitting on the bed, couldn't help biting his lips.

193. Gently pry open her heart

The soft long hair exuded a faint fragrance. Under the moonlight, Quan, lying on the bed, lowered his head and looked at the girl curled up in his arms. For a moment, he no longer felt sleepy.

Originally, he was planning to sleep separately from Tokinoya Mion, with the girl sleeping on his bed and Izumi sleeping on the floor. However, after expressing his idea, he was strongly opposed by Tokinoya Mion. She said that if Izumi slept on the floor, then she would also sleep on the floor with her.

After a brief exchange, and confirming Tokinoya Mion's firm attitude, Izumi went to sleep on his bed. Due to Tokinoya Mion's petite figure, the two of them didn't feel crowded when they lay on the same bed, which was much more comfortable than when Aine occupied his bed.

However, the two of them originally occupied half of the bed each, but not long after the lights were turned off, Tokinoya Mion moved closer to Izumi little by little, and ended up curled up in his arms like she is now.

"..."

Although Tokinoya Mion didn't make any sound, but by listening to her breathing, Izumi knew that she was not asleep, but just lying in his arms, as if waiting for him to fall asleep first.

It was hard to imagine what she would do to him if he closed his eyes and really fell asleep.

'I'm a little curious, how about just closing your eyes and pretending to be asleep?'

But in Izumi's heart, he was more curious whether his sister Aine would sneak over in the middle of the night and quietly check out the situation here. If Aine saw Mio resting in the same bed with him, what would her reaction be.

As he was thinking like this, in the quiet night, sleepiness slowly welled up in his heart. With the warmth emanating from the girl in his arms, his thoughts gradually drifted towards memories. His eyes gradually closed, and when he was already sinking into a hazy trance, there was a sudden 'buzz' sound, causing Quan, who was about to fall asleep, to suddenly open his eyes.

"Ok?"
