"..."

He walked to the window and gently pushed it open.

The cool night breeze blew on her slightly hot cheeks, and her restless heart gradually calmed down under the breeze.

"We're already in high school, so it's normal to be in love or dating... There's nothing to worry about..."

Aine whispered softly, thinking about what happened with Nagasaki Soushi and Izumi, and staring at the night sky, with a look of melancholy on her face.

It was not the first or second time that Nagasaki Shoyo had expressed his interest in Izumi to Aine, and in the current situation, logically speaking, there was nothing for her to be surprised about.

"A substitute... In Shuangshi's eyes, Quan has replaced Fengchuan and has become her spiritual support. But... in Quan's eyes, what is Shuangshi a substitute for?"

After so many inquiries and so many perfunctory responses, Chihaya Aine had already noticed something strange in Izumi's answers.

It's just that she failed to point it out in front of Quan, and Quan seemed to have realized it.

It can be considered a tacit understanding between the two.

Nagasaki Soyo has already left the band, but Chihaya Aine still regards him as her friend. She doesn't want Nagasaki Soyo to be hurt by Izumi, but she also feels that she has no reason to interfere in Izumi's affairs.

'Don't those two know each other's situation?'

She is now just a bystander who doesn't understand the situation. Before she gets to know the details, she decides to... wait and see!

"Rest, you have to go to school tomorrow."

With a sigh, Chihaya Aine closed the window, slowly walked to her own window, and lay down.

[I got home in the afternoon and took a short rest, so I’m not very sleepy now]

Izumi, who was in her room, was communicating with Goto Ichiri. After the two separated, Goto Ichiri seemed to fall asleep for a while after returning home, and was now editing a video in her room.

[I have to go to school tomorrow, so I should go to bed early]

After spending the whole day out in the springs, he felt a little tired. Looking at Goto Ichiri's answer, he reminded him.

[Well, I will take a break after the editing is finished and released]

Goto Ichiri looked at the message sent by Izumi, felt Izumi's concern for him, and laughed, "Hehe."

[Good night]

After saying goodnight to each other, the two ended their conversation. Izumi lay on his bed, thinking back to the conversation he and Aine had on the way home, and gently covered his face with his hand.

"I forgot to talk to her about punishment..."

322. The woman (Xiangzi) does not go home after work

"Sister Liangyin, are you still at home during this period?"

"It's easy to quit a job, but it's not so easy to find a suitable job again. But she just took a short break."

Hiroto Shioyama leaned on Izumi's desk and chatted with Izumi about Ryoune Shioyama.

It wasn't that they deliberately wanted to talk about Shioyama Ryoin, but after talking about a variety of topics, they couldn't find anything interesting, so they brought up the matter of Shioyama Ryoin again.

"I feel like... Ayatsuji-san is looking at you again?"

"Can't you be more confident? Do you think she's looking at you?"

Hiroto Shioyama looked at Izumi with a subtle expression.

"I would like to think in this direction, but I have never had any private communication with Ayatsuji-san. Rather, from the time she entered school until now, the only boy she has paid attention to is you, right?"

"Are you jealous?"

"No, I wouldn't envy someone who likes Princess Celestia."

"I have memorized the name very clearly. Have you seen it?"

After hearing Hiroto Shioyama clearly say the name of Princess Celestia, Quan looked at the boy in front of him with a smile, while Hiroto Shioyama was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

During the lunch break, before Izumi went to find Goto Ichiri, Ayatsuji Ci had already taken the initiative to come to Goto Ichiri's table, as if to invite Goto Ichiri to have dinner.

However, Goto Ichiri, who did not have such a close relationship with Ayatsuji Ci, looked in the direction of Izumi, then shook his head to reject Ayatsuji Ci's invitation and quickly fled the classroom.

It seemed that Akatsuki Ci did not expect that she would be rejected so bluntly. She watched Goto Ichiri leave with some surprise, and then slowly looked at Izumi.

The two looked at each other, but there was no communication. Izumi picked up his lunch box and left the classroom with Goto Ichiri.

"The two of them are dating after all."

"It feels like Chihaya-san and Goto-san are in a different world from us."

There were other students in the classroom who noticed this scene. After Izumi and Goto Ichiri left the classroom, they couldn't help but start muttering.

"..."

After hearing these words, Akatsuki adjusted her mood a little, interrupted them with a smile, and changed the topic to talk about beauty.

Although Ayatsuji really dislikes Chihaya Izumi, she has no ill will towards Goto Ichiri. She also hates "bullying", so when other people talk about Goto Ichiri, she will take the initiative to interrupt them and talk about other things.

The others were not unaware of this, but given Ayatsuji Koto's image and status in the class, everyone cooperated and stopped talking about Goto Ichiri.

"Why don't you accept Ayatsuji-san's invitation?"

As usual, Izumi found Goto Ichiri hiding in the library, sat down next to her, and asked about what happened in the classroom.

Goto Ichiri, who was eating lunch alone with his head down, raised his head and looked at Izumi who was sitting next to him after hearing familiar footsteps and a gentle voice.

"I... don't know what to talk about with Ayatsuji-san. Someone as outstanding as her doesn't seem to be from the same world as me, so... it's better for me to stay here alone."

Looking at Goto Ichiri who was explaining in a low voice, Izumi felt a little weird. He thought that what happened between him and the band could slightly improve Goto Ichiri's introverted personality, but now it seems that it didn't make much of a change.

"How's the band going? Have you written any songs?"

As for Goto Ichiri's personality and social aspects, it's not something that can be changed by just a few words, so Quan didn't dwell on it too much and started talking to her about the band.

"Ah... yes, it's already been written. Would you like to listen to it, Quan?"

"Will you sing it to me yourself?"

Quan suddenly became interested.

"Eh? No no no! No! We recorded it while we were playing it, so we can play it for Quan Jun..."

After hearing what Izumi said, Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and waved his hands to deny it.

She even had to lower her head when playing the guitar, and she wanted to hide in a cardboard box so that no one would notice her. How could she possibly have the courage to sing the song she had just written?

This has nothing to do with whether she is confident in her songs, she is just simply shy.

"If it's not Yili singing in person, then forget it. Let's listen to it at the live show. Have you decided on your first live show?"

"…Hongxia was going to participate in the 'Starry' live, but was rejected by the store manager."

When talking about live, Goto Ichiri thought of what happened not long ago.

"Now, it seems that we need to get the store manager's approval before we can participate in the live. The band has been familiarizing themselves with the songs during this period, and then getting the store manager's approval to participate in the live."

Except for the lead singer Ikuyo Kita, the other three have basically started playing musical instruments very early. Their level is not bad, it's just a matter of coordination.

For a band that has just been formed, we cannot expect the three members to work together in perfect harmony. We still have to work on it step by step.

"Then, I will look forward to the day when you will perform live."

"Ah."

……

After get off work, Shoko Toyokawa picked up her bag and quietly left the customer service company where she worked.

After leaving the customer service company where she worked, she took two steps, then suddenly stopped and looked down at her mobile phone.

"..."

After taking a look at the message she had just received, she closed her eyes, sighed deeply, and then walked towards the subway station.

We took the subway and arrived at the planetarium.

After purchasing the ticket, Toyokawa Shoko waited quietly.

"Sorry, have you been waiting for so long?"

When the familiar voice sounded in her ears, Toyokawa Shoko slowly raised her head, and a blonde figure in a short-sleeved white shirt appeared in front of her.

"I just arrived not long ago..."

Looking at the girl in front of her, some complicated emotions flashed in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes, but she suppressed them in an instant.

"I watched your performance not long ago. It was outstanding. Congratulations, Chuhua."

"Thank you. Without your support and encouragement, Xiangzi, I don't know if I could have come this far... Let's go in first?"

Looking at the passers-by around him, Sanjiao Chuhua smiled and thanked Toyokawa Shoko for his attention. Then, not wanting to attract attention in such a crowded place, he invited Toyokawa Shoko to go into the screening room with him.

"Ah."

Toyokawa Shoko had a lot to say but didn't know where to start. After hearing Sankaku Hatsuka's suggestion, she nodded, smiled, and followed Sankaku Hatsuka into the screening room.

"..."

I had nothing to do, so I thought of coming to the planetarium to look at the stars and relax myself, but I didn't expect that I would run into Toyokawa Shoko.

"If Shuangshi saw you being so gentle... he would be heartbroken."

Then, Quan felt a little regretful.

'I didn't take a picture of it.'

Not far behind Quan, a girl in Yuqiu school uniform was looking at the familiar figure in front of her with surprise.

"Aine's...brother?"

323. Aren’t those your loved ones?

"How long has it been since I last saw such a vast starry sky outdoors?"

Lying on the chair, looking up slightly at the starry sky projected by the planetarium above, Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled his childhood.
