People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

"I'm your fan, but this has nothing to do with me? Are you singers the only ones who think about this? We fans just need to listen to the songs."

"Feel sorry."

MMK bowed his head and apologized. Indeed, many singers have a lot of fans who support them, and giving up rashly will cause psychological damage to the fans.

So, MMK apologized, but still didn't want to explain.

"Don't leave!"

But Asagi wouldn't let her leave.

MMK frowned and looked at Asagi's hand.

"let me go,"

"Don't let it go!"

"open,"

"Don't let it go."

The situation was at a standstill. Neither Asagi nor MMK wanted to give in. Asagi refused to let MMK return to the room, as this was his best chance to persuade MMK. MMK, on the other hand, just wanted to end the conversation quickly, then hide away and lick his wounds.

In order to get Asagi to leave as soon as possible, MMK lowered his stance:

"Oh, forget it. It has nothing to do with you. Put down your guitar and leave. Just think of it as you've met a liar, a liar who failed to live up to the fans' expectations."

Seeing that MMK was finally willing to talk, how could Asagi let go of this opportunity? Ordinary words could no longer move MMK. He needed more harsh and serious words.

"Such an excuse,"

"what?"

"Using this excuse, are you going to desert? With just a few words like that, everything is wiped out? What hard work, what companions, what dreams, what determination, what empty boxes, are all just things to be thrown away after use?"

After saying this, Asagi already knew that he had gone too far.

He himself was unimportant, but MMK would never tolerate insults to his fellow Diamond Stars.

Facing Asagi's ridicule and insults, MMK suddenly lost her temper, grabbed Asagi's collar and glared at him.

Just as Asagi expected.

"What do you know?

MMK gritted his teeth.

"Then tell me, what exactly do I not understand?"

Asagi stared straight into MMK's eyes, not giving in. The thread in your hand can be broken, but once the thread in your heart is broken, it can never be reconnected.

MMK tried his best to control his emotions.

However, Asagi did not give MMK any chance to think and continued to approach.

"Don't act like you've tried your best and have no choice but to give up. I've seen this happen many times."

Yes, he had seen it many times, in stories.

He would never give MMK a chance to refute or retreat. He would personally expose MMK.

"I told myself to hold on, while constantly trying to convince myself to face reality. In the end, I gave up out of fear and confusion. I acted like a weak person, hoping to be pitied, understood, and sympathized. I said I had persisted for so long, given so much, and that it was enough, and I could leave. Ultimately, it was you who gave up, you gave up on your own initiative, you gave up with your own hands."

MMK's grip on Asagi's collar retracted. Her body trembled, and Asagi's words were like knives, tearing at her heart bit by bit. She was enduring, trying her best to endure. MMK was shaking with anger, biting her red lips tightly.

"Have you really given it your all, Ms. MMK? Have you really fought for what you love until the very last moment? Even if you are covered in wounds, you must get up, persist, repeat, move forward, and keep going. Even until the very last moment, never give up."

MMK sat slumped on the ground, dejected and very depressed. She muttered to herself and smiled bitterly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You haven't experienced it, so how can you understand my feelings? Talking about hard work, perseverance, struggle, and fighting is just a simple matter. Without personal experience, how can you know the hard work and difficulty involved?"

MMK looked at the guitar, his companion for a long time, with reluctance in his eyes.

"There's absolutely no way out. Everything is dark. It's like walking in the night, pitch black everywhere, no signs, no guidance, and no way out. That feeling of utter loneliness, of being completely trapped in darkness, with not a ray of light in sight. That hideous, trembling fear, that pitiful sight of someone huddled up in fear, hugging their knees tightly. How could you, a little kid, possibly understand?"

"Speak of understanding and support, forget about the moralizing. All that's just condescending accusations, it's your arrogance. You're standing on the safe shore, watching the unlucky drowning swimmers struggling desperately in the river, and all you do is shout "Come on!" to satisfy yourself."

Yes, MMK basically described the situation of most fans. They don't have to make any effort, just hide in a safe place, shout "come on, work hard" and satisfy themselves.

After giving and fighting, you end up failing miserably, leaving others with only endless regrets.

But this time, Asagi was different.

"If there's no hope, I'll give it to you."

Yes, this time it was different, he could carry MMK's life on his shoulders. At this moment, Asagi was really grateful that he had this kind of "Golden Finger" thing.

Asagi took out the pictures of [my all] and [Blue Bird] that had been put aside for many days and handed them to MMK.

MMK looked up at the paper in Asagi's hand,

"what?"

"This is what I prepared for Miss MMK."

MMK took it doubtfully and opened it. It was a song. She looked up at Asagi again, feeling doubtful. Asagi nodded, signaling MMK to continue reading.

He flipped through the pages bit by bit, humming softly. Then came the sound of pattering on the floor, warm drops of water sliding down his cheeks, landing on the ground, and his tear-stained face.

Asagi waited quietly, not knowing how long it had been.

"Ms. MMK, let's keep going together. I will come up with more and better songs for you, so that you can keep going and become famous, so that everyone knows you and likes your songs."

"Don't lie to the kid."

"Yes, it's a lie to children. Only children are willing to believe in such beautiful yet illusory dreams."

"Then, Ms. MMK, are you willing to be that child?"

This is how the conversation seemed to end.

Chapter 23 Ready to start

"It's settled, Rupa. MMK agreed to form a band."

Asagi reported the good news to Rupa.

"Hey? What method did you use to make Miss MMK change her mind? I really underestimated you. This can give people a surprise." Rupa was very surprised. From the text, Asagi could already imagine the surprised look on Rupa's face at the moment.

Lupa stared at his phone and quickly typed a reply:

"I would love to team up with Ms. MMK."

After the conversation ended, Rupa quietly came up behind Ebizuka Satoshi and, while he wasn't paying attention, she put her arms around him. She leaned against him gently, sniffing his fragrance and closing her eyes in ecstasy.

Ebizuka Satoshi was panicked.

"Let me go, Lupa."

"Hehe, Xiaozhi smells delicious."

"I know it without you telling me."

"Haha, haha, haha, Miss MMK agreed."

Rupa was grinning, and Ebizuka Satoshi was pouting. In this quiet little room, the atmosphere was unusually lively.

"Hehe, hehe, hehe,"

Asagi was grinning foolishly. He was sitting on a stool next to MMK, who was holding a guitar and tuning the music he had just handed him.

Without exception, the rhythm, melody, ups and downs of the songs, as well as the emotions conveyed by the lyrics, are all excellent. As MMK's fingers gently pluck the strings, the beautiful music dances with MMK's slender fingers.

MMK's eyes sparkled, and his tense face blossomed into a smile as the melody played. Seeing MMK regain his confidence, Asagi felt happy too.

"It's a really good piece of music. Did you really compose it?"

MMK opened his mouth so wide that it almost formed an O shape.

"There are more, you will see later."

Asagi avoided MMK's question.

"But why are you helping me?"

When the road ahead was no longer uncertain, another question arose in MMK's mind. MMK thought carefully and seriously about it, but none of them made sense.

Such an excellent song would surely fetch a good price if it found a popular idol, music group, or major agency. And yet, Asagi was still working at Konno's restaurant yesterday, earning a meager salary. This was something MMK couldn't understand.

She didn't know Asagi's motive for doing this.

MMK wanted to ask, but was a little afraid of losing an excellent composer.

"Is someone like me really worth it?"

The room fell silent, and MMK's fingers rested on the strings, motionless. At that moment, MMK's heart even stopped. She held her breath, pricked up her ears, and listened attentively.

"I am a fan of MMK, have you forgotten? I am very optimistic about Ms. MMK, so I think it is worth it."

Asagi replied with a smile. MMK finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the answer, and his heart finally calmed down.

However, MMK now faces a new problem. She vacated the apartment without permission. Planning to return to her hometown, she negotiated with the landlord to terminate the lease and paid a penalty.

"Can't we rent it back?" Asagi asked tentatively.

"Can,"

MMK's answer made Asagi feel relieved.

But then, he let the breath go back.

"However, it is impossible to sign a new contract in a short period of time. It will probably take a few days."

"When are you moving out?"

"tomorrow."

"Why don't you let Lupa and the others take him in first?"

"It will disturb them."

"Stay in a hotel?"

“It’s a bit expensive.”

"Anyone else you know?"

"Um,...."

MMK held his mouth and thought hard and seriously.

"There's someone I don't know very well."

A figure came to MMK's mind. She knew the other party because of a transaction. She also had the other party's contact information in her phone.

However, she wasn't very familiar with the person she was dealing with. If she asked for help rashly, she would probably be rejected.

"Oh, right," MMK exclaimed, clapping his hands, as if he had thought of something good. "I know a girl who seems to be interested in music. Rupa and the others are the bassist and keyboardist respectively, and they're short of a drummer."

MMK seemed to think of someone Asagi was familiar with, and she began to fantasize about inviting that person.

At present, it is unknown when Nina will appear. If the situation continues like this, will there still be a place for Nina when she appears?

Should I leave it to her or not?

"I can only ask Lupa for help."

Seeing that no one could take MMK in, Asagi finally decided to ask Rupa for help. Asagi checked the time on his phone and saw that it was already 4 p.m. Today was Saturday, and according to his work schedule, he was on duty today.

Working hours start at 6pm and end at 10pm.

"MMK, come on."

Asagi extended his hand, inviting MMK.

MMK thought about it and decided that this was her responsibility, so she should take charge herself. She packed up quickly, put away her guitar, put away the music, and followed Asagi.

Standing outside Rupa's door, Asagi knocked again. In less than 24 hours, Asagi had knocked on the door three times in a row.
