Glacier sister, don't want to be a sandwich

The audience in the audience was a little noisy at first, but as Yue Ge played, the atmosphere began to change quietly.

The originally whispered voices gradually became quieter, and everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on the stage.

Even some originally indifferent audiences could not help but be attracted by Yue Ge's explosive guitar notes.

"It seems... a bit impressive, that girl on the stage."

Hachiman Kailing stood next to Yuege, listening to her guitar solo, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an approving smile.

“It really has the spirit of rock and roll.”

Hai Ling whispered to herself, then she quickly caught the gap between the guitar chords and inserted her own bass notes. Without any practice, she was able to form a perfect coordination with Yue Ge's guitar during the improvisation.

"So cool! Ako wants to come too!" Seeing this, Ueda Ako waved the drumsticks without showing any weakness, immersed herself in the rhythm, and began to add her unique drum beats.

"Oh my god! How did it become like this? It's completely different from what we said at the beginning!" Ichigaya Yusaki said in despair as he looked at the three people who were messing around beside him.

But her hand movements did not slow down at all. The notes on the keyboard flowed out with her skillful fingering, blending into one with the guitar, bass and drums.

Su Shi will sing, but not now

Chapter 139 Ichinose Father and Daughter

Ichinose Ren originally thought that his daughter would question him angrily, blame him for being late, and even criticize him harshly with those long-suppressed emotions. He was already prepared.

After all, he nearly missed his daughter's performance and made a promise he couldn't keep.

But to his surprise, after Su Shi rushed to him, she did not say any words of condemnation, but threw herself into his arms without hesitation.

At that moment, he was stunned.

"Su Shi..." He murmured softly, frozen in place, not even knowing how to raise his hand to respond.

Even though he was a father, he was being hugged tightly by his daughter, but he didn't even have the courage to reach out.

Ichinose Ren's hand was suspended in the air, and she didn't dare to let it fall, as if she was afraid of breaking this fragile warmth.

Ichinose Suyo buried her face in her father's chest, her voice trembling slightly: "...That's great."

"Great, Daddy, you're here," she whispered again.

Ichinose Ren's heart seemed to be tugged at by something, and a sour feeling rushed to her throat. She owed Su Shi too much.

He subconsciously tightened his arms, and the belated hug finally fell on his daughter's shoulders, with guilt and silent comfort.

"I'm sorry..." His voice was hoarse and full of apology, "There was a traffic jam on the way. Dad promised Su Shi something and he will definitely not break his promise."

He originally thought that such an explanation was insignificant, even ridiculous.

But Su Shi did not ask any questions or complain.

"It's okay, Dad, you're here just in time." She loosened her arms around him and a faint smile appeared on her face. There was relief in that smile, but also a hint of cunning.

Ichinose Ren looked at the smile on Sushi's face and was stunned for a moment, but then he said, "Sushi, hurry back to the stage, your friends are waiting for you."

However, Su Shi did not follow his advice. Instead, he reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"Dad, do you remember?" She looked up at him with clear and serious eyes and asked, "You promised me that you would sing for me."

"Eh?" Ichinose Ren was stunned, and his mind quickly recalled the promise he had made casually.

"That... uh..." Ichinose Ren looked away guiltily, his throat slightly tight.

He did practice secretly a few times in his free time, but at best he was only able to deal with customers in KTV, how could he be good enough to stand on this stage?

But Su Shi did not give him a chance to retreat.

She raised her chin slightly, a smug smile on her lips, and said in a firm and cunning tone: "Dad, you can't break your promise."

Su Shi's words completely blocked all his escape routes.

Ichinose Ren looked at her daughter's face, which seemed to show that she was sure of winning. She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment, but she had no way to refuse any longer.

Unexpectedly, the words he had just spoken turned into a boomerang and hit him.

He sighed softly, raised the corners of his mouth as if accepting his fate, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Su Shi... this is what you wanted from the beginning."

----------------------

"Not well yet..."

Yue Ge stood on the stage, her fingers subconsciously plucking the strings of the guitar, and the notes flowed out lightly.

However, her gaze was always on the people in the audience - Su Shi and her father.

Her improvisation was actually just a temporary patchwork of the so-called "universal modes" from the music theory knowledge her sisters had taught her.

These scales are flexible enough to be adjusted at any time, but they are ultimately limited.

It is precisely because of this relatively stable tune that Hailing, Ako and Yusaki are able to keep up quickly. The tacit understanding between them allows them to improvise and support this sudden episode.

However, Yue Ge could feel that his improvisational melody was almost reaching its limit.

The available improvisation fragments in her mind were being consumed bit by bit, and the sliding of her fingers on the strings gradually lost its initial smoothness.

If this continues, she's afraid she'll run out of bullets...

Fortunately, Su Shi didn't delay for too long. Just when Yue Ge was about to play a repeat song, she finally saw her walking towards the stage with Ichinose Ren.

"call……"

Yue Ge let out a long sigh, and his fingertips lightly stroked the strings for the last time. The lingering sound trembled slightly in the air, and then fell silent.

She finally stopped what she was doing, then reached out her hand without hesitation to the stage, grabbed Su Shi's wrist, and gently pulled her to help her onto the stage.

Su Shi stepped onto the stage and took a deep breath after stabilizing himself. He then turned to look at Yue Ge with a look of apology in his eyes: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long..."

Yue Ge was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently, with her usual warm expression on her face, and waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's great that uncle can catch up."

There was genuine joy in her tone, not a hint of blame, but rather a sense of relief.

Ichinose Ren stood at the edge of the stage, watching the interaction between Yuege and Su Shi, then looked down at the microphone in her hand, her fingertips tightening slightly.

The familiar yet unfamiliar touch of metal came through his palm, making him feel a long-lost sense of strangeness.

It has been a long time since he has been in the spotlight like this.

The lights from the stage shone on his body, the heat seeped through his clothes, and the slight burning sensation reminded him that this was not a dream, but real reality.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the audience. Countless eyes were focused on him, some with surprise, some with confusion, and some with expectation.

His eyes wandered through the crowd, finally settling on a familiar figure - his wife.

She sat in the audience, her eyes slightly wide open, her expression revealing obvious surprise, as if she didn't expect him to stand here, and she didn't expect him to actually hold the microphone and prepare to sing.

Ichinose Ren's heart trembled slightly, realizing that he had been completely tricked by his daughter.

Thinking about the song that Su Shi had emphasized earlier, he couldn't help but understand what was happening. If he couldn't even see through this, he would have been kicked out of the company long ago.

This kid... has been planning all this from the beginning, right?

"Did you want to ease the relationship between us from the beginning?"

He sighed softly and shifted his gaze to Su Shi beside him.

He took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the microphone, and gently turned his wrist to make the metal feel more familiar in his palm.

"...It seems like there's really no way to escape."

The noise in the audience gradually quieted down and the audience held their breath.

Chapter 140: How Much Saye Dotes on Her Sister

Five minutes ago——

The moment Yue Ge began to improvise, the student union member who controlled the lighting and music backstage immediately picked up the intercom and reported anxiously, "President, there seems to be something wrong with the performance on stage!"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the intercom, and then a calm voice said, "Well... I'm watching from the audience."

The student council president stood in the crowd, his eyes fixed on the stage, watching Ichinose Motoyo scurry past. The rhythm of the performance on stage was noticeably disrupted, and the audience's chatter was growing louder. The student council members backstage cautiously asked again, "Should we pause? Should we move on to the next act?"

The president frowned, wondering whether to intervene, but just as she was about to speak, a slender, white hand rested on her shoulder.

"?"

The president was stunned and turned around in confusion, only to see the calm and composed face of Hikawa Sayo.

Saya shook her head gently and said in a calm voice: "Wait a moment."

"Senior!" There was a hint of displeasure in the president's tone, and his brows unconsciously frowned tighter.

——It doesn’t matter if you’ve graduated, but I’m still here!

The final performance of the school festival is a project that the school attaches great importance to. If something goes wrong, the responsibility will definitely fall on her.

If this gets out, she might become the first student council president to resign due to a school festival incident!

Of course, Sayo could guess what she was thinking. However, she just smiled softly, her eyes fixed on the stage, and said firmly, "Wait another ten seconds, Yuege can do it."

There was no hesitation in her tone, as if she had absolute trust in the people on the stage.

The student council president opened his mouth slightly, but said nothing.

Finally, she took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and turned to look at the stage.

Ten seconds.

Just wait ten more seconds.

------------

Yuege did not disappoint Sayo.

In that short period of time, Yue Ge quickly adjusted the rhythm, used improvisation as a transition, and smoothly brought the show back on track.

The notes on the stage intertwined smoothly, and the restless audience below was gradually attracted. The originally sporadic whispers gradually subsided as the melody progressed.

The student council president standing in the audience finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the rhythm of his heart, which had been beating wildly, finally returned to normal.

She patted her chest and turned to look at Hikawa Sayo beside her, with fear on her face: "Senior... I almost quit."

Sayo was slightly stunned, then gave a wry smile, her tone full of apology: "Sorry, I made you worry."

"Senior, you..." The student council president sighed helplessly, his gaze once again cast towards Yue Ge on the stage, his tone filled with a hint of helpless understanding, "From the very beginning, you went to the student council, wasn't it just to cover for little Yue Ge?"

It was not until that moment that she finally understood why Hikawa Sayaka suddenly brought Hinata to join the student council.

If Saya had not been here today, she would most likely have ordered Yue Ge and the others to stop their performance and let the next performance start earlier.

But precisely because Saya was beside her, she subconsciously paused for a moment, hesitating and not making a decision immediately. It was not until the members backstage reminded her that she pretended to have just realized it.

Saya was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a bitter smile: "I really just wanted to go see you guys."

The student council president raised his eyebrows slightly, crossed his arms, stared at her for a few seconds, and then the corners of his mouth slowly rose, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Really?" She drawled, a hint of teasing in her tone.

Saya knew that no matter what she said, it would be seen as just an excuse by the other party.

--------------

Yue Ge had no idea what Saya was doing in the audience, and had no time to care.

At this moment, her expression was tense, and her eyes occasionally swept over Su Shi and her father who were standing beside her. Her ears were keenly capturing every movement around her, waiting for the moment they would speak.

Her hands were still holding the guitar, her fingertips slightly tightened, and a slight sweat seeped out of her palms.

Although he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, he couldn't completely conceal the tension in his heart.

During the initial training, they had indeed practiced how the band should coordinate with the lead singer's rhythm, and had also considered response plans for different situations - but how could they have imagined that the actual performance would turn out like this?

The lead singer suddenly ran off the stage, the performance was a lull, and the atmosphere was on the verge of getting out of control...

Yue Ge took a deep breath and tried to adjust his mentality.

Forget it...it's already like this anyway.

She silently comforted herself in her heart, and gently stroked her hands across the strings, trying to keep her fingers relaxed to avoid making mistakes when playing later.
