I have pure love with them

"…It has been a long time since I put aside my distracting thoughts and looked up at the starry sky. At my age now, even if I look up, I can no longer look at the starry sky with the mentality of a child."

He felt a little emotional, and a melancholy mood flashed through his mind.

He tilted his head slightly and looked towards the place where Toyokawa Shoko and Sankaku Hatsuka were sitting. He found that the two were immersed in the gorgeous starry sky and did not notice his existence. He gradually withdrew his gaze and looked at the starry sky above again.

'After meeting Sanjiao Chuhua, are you planning to start your own band again to change your current situation?'

Although he had several exchanges and contacts with Toyokawa Shoko, their relationship was not even that of friends, and Izumi did not know Toyokawa Shoko's movements.

Is this the first time the two have met during this period, or have they met frequently before?

Without knowing much about the situation, it was difficult for him to make a reasonable judgment at the moment.

"Sankaku Hatsuka has known Toyokawa Shoko since childhood and is currently a member of the idol duo 'Sumimi'... Even if the two know each other, most idol members have signed contracts with their current agencies, right? Will an agency allow its idols to join other people's bands?"

From what I know, the popularity of the group 'sumimi' is not low, and the group's promotional advertisements can be seen in some busy areas.

It can be seen that the firm where Sanjiao Chuhua works has invested a lot of resources in this duo, and rights and obligations are often equal. Quan doesn't think that with such a tilt of resources, the contract she signed will be very loose.

"Even if I join another band anonymously and do additional idol activities... it would be a huge risk for my agency, unless..."

The two groups are under the same firm.

And given Toyokawa Shoko's original identity, it's not surprising that she gave some advice and help to Sankaku Hatsuka when she was preparing to enter the idol industry.

"Toyokawa Shoko is close to Wakaba Mutsu, and Wakaba Mutsu's parents are both well-known actors in the industry. Given this relationship... is Sankaku Hatsuka working for an agency related to Wakaba Mutsu's parents? I didn't pay attention to this before, so I can look for relevant information when I go back."

There is no need to analyze these complex relationships behind the scenes for the time being.

"Toyokawa Shoko and Sankaku Hatsuka... since we have met, it would be a bit of a waste if we don't do anything about it."

Gazing at the starry sky above, Quan's lips curled up into a faint smile.

……

“Is the temperature too cold?”

Feeling his childhood friend beside him, his body suddenly trembled. Sanjiao Chuhua shifted his attention from the starry sky above his head to Toyokawa Shoko and asked softly with a concerned look on his face.

"No...it's not because of the temperature...it's just...I'm fine."

In response to Sankaku Hatsuhua's concern, Toyokawa Shoko shook her head and indicated that she was fine.

Sankaku Chuhua looked at the expression on Toyokawa Shoko's face and didn't find anything wrong. He slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the starry sky above again. After Sankaku Chuhua withdrew his gaze, Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips slightly.

Just now, she suddenly felt a sense of surprise in her heart, as if she was being targeted by a natural enemy, and her body couldn't help but shiver.

'Is something going to happen?'

With a frown on her face, Shoko Toyokawa lowered her eyes. For a while afterwards, she was unable to calm down and appreciate the starry sky above her head. Even after the viewing ended, under the gaze of Sanjiao Chuhua, Shoko Toyokawa had a somewhat absent-minded expression.

"Sure enough, what happened?"

Realizing that Toyokawa Shoko was not in the right state of mind, after walking out of the planetarium with her, Sankaku Hatsuka slowed down her pace and looked at Toyokawa Shoko with concern.

"..."

Being stared at by Sanjiao Chuhua, Toyokawa Shoko dodged his gaze for a moment and then slowly shook her head.

"I just wanted to see you."

Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko was unwilling to reveal her feelings, Sanjiao Chuhua did not ask any further questions.

"Actually, I've always wanted to meet Xiangzi, but due to work, I don't know if you have time... Next time, when we have time, let's go somewhere closer to the starry sky."

Faced with the invitation from Sanjiao Chuhua, and thinking about her current situation, Toyokawa Shoko felt that she probably didn't have time to go somewhere else with the other party. However, in such an atmosphere, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't refuse and nodded slightly.

"Well, that's all for today. See you next time."

"Well, work, come on."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Sanjiao Hatsuhua in front of her, with a complicated look in her eyes, and gave encouragement to the girl in front of her.

“So does Xiangzi.”

The two looked at each other, smiled and said goodbye to each other.

"..."

Just far away from Sankaku Hatsuka and Toyokawa Shoko, the boy and the girl were standing side by side, watching the two say goodbye and leave.

"Why don't you go up and have a quick chat with your former bandmates?"

As if he knew nothing, Quan asked Takamatsu Deng who was beside him.

Quan was quite surprised to meet Takamatsu Deng.

He thought that he only met Toyokawa Shoko and Sankaku Hatsuka this time, and thought that after the screening, he would go and "stop" Sankaku Hatsuka and chat with this idol girl for a while to increase their understanding of each other. However, he did not expect that after walking out of the screening room, before catching up with Toyokawa Shoko and Sankaku Hatsuka who left, he met Takamatsu Deng first.

The two men were sitting in different seats in the same area. When they were leaving the screening room, Takamatsu Deng, who was sitting in the back row, happened to walk in front of him, and their eyes made contact, and they noticed each other's presence.

When Quan noticed that Takamatsu Deng didn't show any surprise or astonishment when he saw him, he knew that the other party had already noticed him.

"Have I become a praying mantis? Gao Songdeng... a yellow bird?"

After analyzing the situation in his mind, Quan couldn't help but chuckle, then slowly walked towards Takamatsu Deng and invited him to leave the screening room together.

Not long after they walked out of the screening room, they saw Toyokawa Shoko and Sankaku Hatsuka again.

Instead of going forward to disturb them, Izumi and Takamatsu Deng kept their distance from the two people, and until now, Toyokawa Shoko and Sankaku Hatsuka said goodbye.

324. I have always been a loyal supporter of 'sumimi'

Gao Songdeng did not answer Quan's question, but lowered her head silently, looking at her toes, recalling the rainy day in her mind that she would probably never forget in her life.

"..."

Now, not only Toyokawa Shoko, but even Nagasaki Shoyo has quit the band.

The strong feeling of loss and frustration made Gao Songdeng bite his lips, lower his head and remain silent.

"She's leaving."

Noticing that Takamatsu Deng's mood was beginning to drop, Quan glanced at Toyokawa Shoko and saw that she was about to leave, so he spoke up to remind the girl next to him.

Takamatsu Deng, who had her head lowered, raised her head again after hearing Quan's words, and looked at Toyokawa Shoko's departing back, but she did not make any movement. Only after Toyokawa Shoko's figure disappeared did she slowly take a step forward, ignoring Quan beside her, and walked forward alone.

'Are you so depressed that you have ignored my existence?'

Seeing Takamatsu Deng walking forward alone, Quan stood there and watched for a while, smiled softly, and followed him to the station.

"I'm going this direction, which should be different from you, Ms. Takamatsu. We can only walk here together."

After arriving at the station, Izumi saw that Takamatsu Deng was still immersed in her own world. It was the first time that she was ignored to this extent. She felt a little strange. She smiled and spoke, drawing the girl's attention back to herself.

"Um... um..."

He looked up blankly and saw Quan beside him. Gao Songdeng was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he thought of what happened before, and his expression became more embarrassed and apologetic.

She wanted to apologize to the boy in front of her, but she didn't know how to start. She subconsciously lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake.

"Ichiri is not on the same level as her..."

Compared to Goto Ichiri's shyness, Takamatsu Touma's personality is more pessimistic, inferior, and sensitive.

"I'll trouble Miss Takamatsu to take good care of Aiyin at school. If you have time, you can come to our house. Mom will welcome you very much."

"……Um."

He looked up with some surprise, and seeing Izumi in front of him who was not angry because of his ignoring him, Gao Songdeng suddenly felt relieved. Then, under Izumi's gentle smile and gaze, he nodded slightly.

"Then, see you next time."

Seeing the girl in front of him nodded, Quan smiled and said goodbye to her, then turned and left.

"……goodbye."

After Izumi turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing in the crowd. It was as if Gao Songdeng realized it belatedly and said goodbye to Izumi. Her voice was so soft that even people passing by her would not notice it unless they listened carefully.

When Quan disappeared from view, Gao Songdeng slowly walked towards the subway exit.

……

'Emotional black hole.'

After being alone with Takamatsu Tomori, Izumi, who was waiting in front of the platform, made an evaluation of Takamatsu Tomori in his heart.

Even if they stand next to each other, they will be ignored. They are easily immersed in their own world and are very sensitive to interpersonal relationships and atmosphere. However, their personalities tend to be pessimistic and low in self-esteem. Being with such people is simply... torture.

'I need to replenish my Aine energy immediately.'

Standing on the platform, Izumi stretched out his hand and gently pinched his brows. The image of Aine appeared in his mind, and he felt a little relieved.

"Although there is a reason why Aine wants to prove herself, but being able to stay in such a band full of pressure...why not let her quit the band?"

Previously, Izumi felt that Aine needed to pick herself up after her failure and could hone her skills in the band, but now he feels that there is no need for Aine to hone her skills at all, as he has recognized his sister's mental tenacity.

As the subway slowly pulled into the station, Quan entered the carriage, looking for a place to sit. He glanced around the carriage and suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

"..."

The other person lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and did not notice his existence.

'Although we live some distance apart, we are still in the same area, so it is only natural that we take the same line.'

A thought emerged in Quan's mind. He walked slowly towards her and sat down beside her.

Toyokawa Shoko, who was lowering her head and thinking about something, noticed someone sitting down next to her. She subconsciously glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, then raised her head in surprise and looked sideways at the person sitting next to her.

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Izumi, who was not originally planning to talk to Toyokawa Shoko, saw that the other party suddenly seemed to have realized something and looked at him in surprise. Out of politeness, he couldn't remain silent, so he smiled and greeted the other party.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko slightly opened her soft lips, then closed them silently and lowered her head.

Under Quan's gaze, she was silent for a moment before she raised her head again and looked at Quan who was sitting next to her.

"Why are you here?"

Although Toyokawa Shoko didn't think that Izumi would take this subway specifically for her, but meeting him by chance here at such a time made Toyokawa Shoko feel a little weird, and she couldn't help but ask a question.

"I waited here deliberately just to see you, or I went to the planetarium and bumped into you by chance. Which one do you think is the correct answer?"

Smiling at Toyokawa Shoko, Izumi gave two different answers.
