Deng felt something itchy on her neck. She glanced at it discreetly and saw it was Aine's hair.
In an instant, a blush seemed to creep up on her face again, but she didn't tell Aine. On the contrary, Deng was surprisingly relaxed and relieved at this moment.
"Xiao Deng, do you feel better?"
"Yeah, ok...better."
"That's what I mean. When you're in a bad mood, just go outside and enjoy the fresh air and the scenery, and you'll feel better."
“I feel… relaxed and at peace with Aine.”
Aine was stunned by the sudden words, but then she smiled sheepishly: "Is that so?"
“Mm, Aine, so gentle…”
"Is that so? By the way, Xiao Deng, can you tell me why your previous band disbanded?"
Deng suddenly froze in place, and after a long internal struggle, he finally spoke: "I think it might be my problem..."
“Eh?” Aine glanced up and down at Deng. “Deng’s problem? I don’t think Deng is the one who caused the band’s breakup.”
"But... the band just broke up."
"If this is really your fault, then Xiao Deng should be very sad..."
Before he finished speaking, the light in Deng's eyes dimmed again, and his hands clenched involuntarily.
"But, wouldn't it be better to get up again after falling down and not make the same mistake again? I'd actually like to form a band with Deng."
To Aine, this might have been a casual remark...
But to Deng, it was like a ray of light, piercing through Deng's dark world. She raised her head and met Aine's eyes, as if she had made some kind of resolution in her heart: "Aine, then are you willing to... form a band with me for life?"
"A lifetime? A lifetime is so long..." At this point, Aine seemed to remember something and changed the subject, "It's so short, I should be able to form a band for a lifetime."
"Aine, are you... not too willing to form a band with me?"
Deng's voice faded away again. Aine's words were a little hesitant, which caused ripples in Deng's sensitive mind again.
"Eh? Why do you say that?"
"Because, after hearing me say I'm going to form a band for life, Aine was a little hesitant..."
Hearing Deng express his inner thoughts, Aine suddenly laughed: "Deng, you are finally not as shy as you were just now in the astronomy club. You are finally willing to speak your mind."
"Eh?"
"My hesitation isn't because I don't want to be in a band with you forever, it's because of some other insignificant things. I'm still very happy to be in a band with Xiao Deng forever."
"Is... is that so? I'm... I'm also very happy that I can be in a band with Aine-chan for life."
Deng mustered up the courage again and looked into Aine's eyes, only to find that Aine had been staring at him.
"Xiao Deng, I'm the guitarist..." At this point, Aiyin didn't continue, but asked, "Was Xiao Deng the lead singer in your previous band?"
"Um, Aine, how did you know?"
"I just looked at your notebook and saw the lyrics you wrote. I felt like you might be one of them, so I just asked directly."
“Aine, you’re amazing…”
This time, Aine did not reveal that she was a guitarist and vocalist. Aine knew very well that the girl in front of her was a bit sensitive and timid.
Instead of asking for the lead singer myself, it would be better to let Xiao Deng practice more. Maybe this would be more meaningful... Anyway, I have formed a band with Xiao Deng, so there will be a lot of attention.
"I'm the guitarist." Aiyin took Deng's hand and took a deep breath. "Okay, since we said we'd be in a band for life, then this promise is valid. Class will start soon, so let's go for a walk together."
"it is good."
Soon, it was time to go home from school. After saying goodbye to Deng, Aiyin took her guitar and went to the activity room of the wind band club where she had made an appointment with Xiangzi yesterday.
When I pushed open the door of the activity room, Xiangzi was already sitting in front of the piano and playing.
The moment the door was pushed open, Xiangzi's closed eyes also opened. After seeing that it was Aine, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile: "Aine is very punctual."
"After all, I have an appointment with Toyokawa-san. If I don't come quickly, it will definitely be considered a missed appointment."
Aiyin put her bag aside and took off the guitar from her back. Before she could say anything, Xiangzi said, "Play a random song first. I'll see how good you are."
"Just play a song? Uh..."
Xiangzi's words made Aiyin stand still. She looked at Xiangzi a little embarrassedly: "Um, Toyokawa-san, can I see your music sheet?"
Aine's words made Xiangzi understand instantly. She was a little confused: "Is Aine a new scholar?"
"Eh? No, no, I've been playing since I was in junior high school."
"Shouldn't you be able to play one or two songs?"
"I haven't played a piece of music in a long time. I've basically forgotten all of it. I just practice it sometimes."
"Is that so?" After knowing the reason, Xiangzi didn't say anything more. He picked up the music score and handed it directly to Aine.
When the song ended, Xiangzi couldn't help but applaud, with a gentle smile on his face: "Aine's basic skills are pretty good."
"Eh? Really?" Aine was also a little overjoyed. She didn't expect that she could play the music at such a level even though she had never seen the music score before.
"But Aiyin, you're not playing some notes fast enough, and a few notes aren't very accurate."
Without any hesitation, Xiangzi pointed out the problem with Aiyin's guitar.
"Toyokawa-san is amazing. He plays the piano so well and knows so much about guitar."
Xiangzi shook his head slightly, politely declining Aiyin's compliment. "It's not that I know much, but I have a friend who plays guitar very well. After spending time with her, I naturally picked up some of the music myself."
Chapter 5: Toyokawa Shoko's Escape
“I see.” Aine nodded thoughtfully.
Toyokawa's friend... She's so good at playing the piano, so since Toyokawa can admit her, she must be incredibly strong.
"Aine, if you don't practice quickly, I'll be leaving soon."
Aiyin raised her head and met Xiangzi's smiling face. She blushed a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, Fengchuan-san, I was just thinking about your friend and almost forgot the time."
"Are you interested in her?"
"After all, Toyokawa-san is so good at piano. Since she's a friend you acknowledge, I think her guitar skills must be pretty strong."
The pink hair seemed to glow with a golden halo against the backdrop of the setting sun.
Aine's smile was like the spring breeze, gently blowing past and taking away the worries and sorrows in Xiangzi's heart. At this moment, Xiangzi actually felt the long-lost comfort and peace of mind.
In a trance, Xiangzi's heart seemed to skip a beat.
This girl, whom I've only met twice, why... when she smiles, it's like the sun... so warm and peaceful, I haven't felt this way in a long time...
Aine looked at Shoko's gradually raised hand in confusion. What was Toyokawa-san going to do? A handshake?
That should be it, otherwise why would he raise his hand?
Confirming her thoughts, Aine also stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiangzi's slowly rising hand.
This grab immediately woke Xiangzi up, and the two of them looked at each other.
Looking at Aine's puzzled look, Xiangzi felt her face getting hot. Just when she was brainstorming to find a reason to explain her behavior, Aine's words were like timely help.
"Toyokawa-san? Why did you suddenly want to shake my hand?"
Following Aine's words, Xiangzi replied, "Then we are friends."
"Oh, I see. It's nice to be your friend, Toyokawa-san." Aine took out her phone. "Toyokawa-san, can you add me as your chat partner?"
"Eh? This..."
"Oh, it's okay. It's okay if you don't want to." Seeing that Xiangzi was a little hesitant, Aine did not make things difficult for her, but prepared to put away her phone.
The next moment, she felt her wrist being gently grabbed: "Toyokawa-san?"
"I..." Xiangzi looked at herself holding Aine's hand in a daze. She didn't understand why she was so abnormal today.
I clearly didn't intend to chat with Aine, so why did I grab Aine's hand?
He wanted to explain, but couldn't say anything. Xiangzi's face seemed to turn even redder.
Looking at Xiangzi's expression, Aine couldn't help but tease, "Isn't Toyokawa-san a tsundere? She says no, but her body is surprisingly honest."
"I'm not...it's just..." Xiangzi's mind and heart were a little confused. She felt that the more she explained, the more confused she became. She simply took out her cell phone and said, "What's your contact information? I, I'll add you."
"I thought Toyokawa-san was as elegant as a lady from a wealthy family, but I didn't expect she has a girlish side. She's surprisingly cute."
After adding Aine's contact information, Xiangzi didn't stop for a moment. He picked up his bag, said goodbye to Aine, and hurriedly fled the activity room of the wind band club.
Aiyin looked at Xiangzi who was fleeing in panic with some confusion. It was so strange. The feeling given to me by Fengchuan-san today was completely different from yesterday. Was it an illusion?
Xiangzi stumbled to the first floor of the teaching building and leaned against the corner. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her pale pink face was reflected in the window, hazy and beautiful.
"What's wrong with me today? Why am I so abnormal?"
She closed her eyes, trying to get rid of Aine's smiling face from her mind, but she found that Aine's smiling face became clearer after closing her eyes.
Ugh.
Xiangzi sighed helplessly, took out his mobile phone, and looked quietly at the account he had just added, with complicated emotions in his eyes.
Perhaps, it is better for me not to know her. After all, I transferred to Yuqiu just because I didn’t want others to know about me.
Thinking of this, Xiangzi's eyes once again appeared the sunset shining on Aine's face. The warmth and peace of mind touched her heart deeply.
The red delete key was unusually glaring. Her hand hovered over it, trembling slightly, but she never pressed it.
However, Aine said she was a transfer student, so she probably doesn’t know them. Aine also doesn’t know about my past... Maybe it doesn’t matter that I only know her in this school.
Hypnotizing himself like this, Xiangzi glanced at the time and put away his phone.
It's time to go.
Aine was the only one left in the huge wind band club's activity room. "We've only been practicing for a short time, and Toyokawa-san already ran away... Besides, we're still short of a lot of people to form a band..."
"If you want to form a band, you can look for bands recruiting members on the LiveHouse bulletin board. There's a store nearby called CIRCLE. They recently opened a second store in Ikebukuro, and that store is called RiNG."
The conversation she had with the three girls that morning suddenly popped up in Aine’s mind.
RiNG? I have nothing to do right now, why don't I go there? Oh, right...
Aine took out her phone and found Deng among her contacts.
[Ain: Xiao Deng, do you have time now? Do you want to go to RiNG?]
[Deng: I'm currently in the Astronomy Department, and there are still some reports that haven't been processed.]
[Aine: I see. Then I'll go check it out myself first?]
[Deng: Hmm. Why does Aine suddenly want to go to RiNG?]
[Ain: I suddenly remembered that they told me this morning that the LiveHouse bulletin board was looking for bands recruiting members. There are only two of us, so I wanted to see if there are any bands that need a lead vocalist and guitarist.]
[Deng: What other instrumental member does Aine want to find?]
What other instruments are we looking for? Xiao Deng is the lead singer and I’m the guitarist, so what else is there?
Aiyin glanced at her guitar, and the image of Xiang playing the piano appeared in her mind. Then she sighed.
It's a pity that Fengchuan-san doesn't play in a band, otherwise we could invite her. In that case, we'd have to at least find a bassist and a drummer. For the last one... maybe a guitar or piano.
[Ain: Xiao Deng, I want to find a bassist and a drummer, and the last one will be a guitar or piano.]
[Deng: Aine, I... I do know some people, but... I feel like they're probably mad at me.]
[Aine: Is that so? I don’t know those friends of yours either. How about I go check them out myself first?]
[Deng: Yeah.]
After chatting with Deng, Aiyin carried her guitar and headed to RiNG.
As the sun began to set, Aine finally arrived at the place the three people had mentioned. She walked in and was dazzled by the clean and tidy interior. “Wow, what a clean place.”
Chapter 6 Nagasaki Suyo
Aiyin came to the bulletin board, which only had a few notices. "There's no search for a lead singer or guitarist. Seriously, these are the only notices on such a large bulletin board?"
Click~
The automatic door opened, and a girl with long flaxen hair walked in gracefully. She was carrying a bag and looked like she was worried about something.
Just as Aine was about to leave, her eyes caught sight of the eye-catching outfit and the badge on Suye’s chest.
"Wow, you're a student from Tsuki no Mori, that school for young ladies."
