Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Li Xi said a little unhappily.

"Yes, definitely."

Su Shi's tone was very serious.

Li Xi frowned, looked at Gao Songdeng, then looked at Su Shi's determined eyes, and could only sigh, gave up his original plan, followed her out of the practice room, and came to a remote corner at the end of the corridor.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Xi folded his arms across his chest, leaned against the wall, and put on a sour face. "You've been slacking off all this time, and you've been perfunctory about practice. I didn't come to settle the score with you, but you came to me first."

If Shiina Riki hadn't known that Nagasaki Motoyo was just not serious and not that her bass skills were bad, she would have turned against her long ago.

Su Shi lowered her eyes and said slowly, "I just got the news that Xiangzi has agreed to come and see our performance."

"Xiangzi?!"

Li Xi's pupils dilated slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

But after a moment, she snorted coldly, turned away her gaze, and raised the corner of her mouth with a hint of sarcasm: "Who cares about her? If she wants to see it, then let her see it. You're talking as if she's that important."

"Lixi, don't you want her to come back again?"

Su Shi looked at Li Xi, her tone a little gentler than usual, and said softly, "If Xiangzi saw us on stage, maybe the scene would bring back our old memories. Maybe she would be shaken and want to come back and reunite with us [CRYCHIC]..."

"She wanted to leave on her own."

Li Xi's face was cold, and there was undisguised dissatisfaction in his tone. "We still have to shamelessly beg her to come back? What a joke!"

"Xiangzi left because he was under too much pressure."

Su Shi continued to persuade patiently, "At that time, she was responsible for composing, arranging, and coordinating everything, just like you are now."

"You're under the same pressure now, aren't you? Maybe she was forced to make that decision because she was exhausted to the point of exhaustion."

Li Xi was silent.

She thought of the intense rehearsals, the late-night arrangements, and the exhaustion of starting over again and again.

Her tone finally softened.

"But our band is already full and we don't need her at all. Even if she wants to come back, there's no place for her here."

"No, of course not."

Su Shi expressed his thoughts.

"If Xiangzi is willing to come back, we can let her play keyboards. We don't have a keyboard player, and her return will just complement our lineup. She will be the most suitable 'sixth man'."

Li Xi's eyes were filled with hesitation. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Shi's tone change:

"But...if we can convince Mutsuya to come back, then we can kick out the two outsiders, Chihaya Aine and Kaname Rakuna."

"Then... we [CRYCHIC] can be resurrected!"

Hearing this, Shiina Riki was also a little tempted, but she frowned and said in a deep voice: "Can we just kick them out like that? Deng cares about Chihaya Aine very much. She definitely doesn't want us to kick her out."

Nagasaki Suyo smiled slightly, and there was a sense of calmness and confidence in her smile.

She said slowly, "If we want to kick out Chihaya Aine, Deng will certainly be unhappy about it, but what if we kick out Kaname Rakuna first? If we kick her out and let Mutsuko come back, Deng will definitely have no objection."

"Anyway, she's like a wild cat. She never considered this place her home. She only stayed here because she thought it was interesting. When she got bored, she'd leave."

"Have you ever seen her stay in a band for long?"

This analysis was extremely thorough, and Shiina Riki also agreed with it.

Kaname has been a wild cat in RING for a long time. She always ignores others and is immersed in her own world. She leaves every time she is satisfied with the music and does not care about what others say.

She has strong skills and many bands are interested in recruiting her. However, she has never stayed in a band for a long time and always leaves after a few days.

In fact, Li Xi didn't have much affection for Yao Lenai.

That guy who is always slacking off, even if she is asked to be on time, she will always be late for various weird reasons.

At yesterday's rehearsal, she was a full forty minutes late because she was "watching a cat fight" on the way!

If it weren't for her top-notch guitar skills and the fact that now was the time to use her, Li Xi would have lost his patience long ago.

If her departure could bring Ye Mu back, Li Xi would be more than happy to do so.

Chapter 249 The "Indulgence Day" Finally Arrives

It is easy to kick out Kaname Rakuna, but it is not an easy task to kick out Chihaya Aine.

Li Xi frowned and asked solemnly, "What about Chihaya Aine? How are you going to kick her out? I don't want Deng to be hurt by her leaving."

Nagasaki Suyo's mouth corners slightly raised.

"It's not convenient for us to kick people out, but what if... Chihaya Aine leaves on her own initiative?"

She said confidently, "Once Lenai leaves, everyone in our band, except her, will be CRYCHIC. If she knows how to read the atmosphere, she'll realize she's an outsider and it's time for her to leave."

"Besides...it's not like she doesn't have a place to go. Isn't she still the lead singer of that band called Extension Line? As long as her teammates over there persuade her, she will definitely choose to leave."

"Even if Tou wanted to stop her, she couldn't stop Chihaya Aine from leaving and heading towards a better future, right?"

Seeing that Shiina Riki was still a little hesitant, Su Shi's eyes flashed and she added fuel to the fire again.

"Chihaya Aine's departure is a good thing for all of us. She can go back to being her lead singer, and we [CRYCHIC] can be revived. Maybe Deng will feel a little lost, but don't we still have you?"

“You can take advantage of this opportunity to comfort her and take Aine’s place in her heart…”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shiina Riki cares deeply about Deng, and only Takamatsu Deng himself is unaware of it.

Nagasaki Suyo deliberately used Takamatsu Deng to seduce Riki, and Riki was also completely controlled. She was a little hesitant at first, but when she heard that she and Takamatsu Deng could have a closer relationship, she finally nodded and agreed.

"Okay... I agree with your approach."

Then, she raised her head and said seriously, "But you have to promise me one thing—you can't tell Deng the truth. This private plot should only be known to the two of us."

"Of course."

Nagasaki Suyo smiled lightly and nodded calmly.

She had no intention of telling Takamatsu Deng about this from the beginning.

Gao Songdeng is too fragile and easily emotional. Letting her know would only lead to delays.

Now Nagasaki Suyo can't wait for the day when the performance starts.

She seemed to be able to see the scene where Xiaoxiang, whom she had been thinking about so much, was moved to tears after her performance and threw himself into her arms tremblingly.

In the next few days, Nagasaki Suyo put away her previous perfunctory and careless attitude, became extremely serious, and devoted herself to rehearsals as if she had become a different person.

Her serious look quickly boosted the rhythm and morale of the entire team, and the tacit cooperation during rehearsals was visibly improving almost every day.

The day before the performance, the band's overall performance finally achieved the effect that Tatsuki Shiina wanted.

Smiles finally appeared on the faces of the band members, and they were celebrating by high-fiving each other. On the surface, they seemed to be having a great time, but in reality, there were undercurrents, and everyone had their own thoughts.

But no matter what they are thinking at the moment, everyone is looking forward to the performance day.

Finally, it was Sunday, the day of the performance.

Since the performance didn't start until six in the afternoon, there was no rush to gather. Takuya Hoshikawa slowly got up from the bed and opened the curtains until noon.

The sunlight shone on him and on Hiroi Kikuri who was still sleeping soundly in bed.

Her brows furrowed slightly when she was stung by the sunlight, but she did not wake up. She seemed to be still immersed in the afterglow of last night, and licked her lips unsatisfiedly.

During this week, although the two still lived under the same roof, Taku Hoshikawa always kept a certain distance from her.

It was as if he didn't understand the hints that Hiroi Kikuri gave him every night after she had gotten used to it. After taking a shower, he went straight back to his bedroom to sleep.

Even when Hiroi reluctantly sneaked into his bedroom in the middle of the night, Hoshikawa Taku threw her out with an expressionless face and locked the bedroom door.

It’s not that Taku Hoshikawa wasn’t moved, but he didn’t want Kikuri Hiroi to become addicted to sex before she got over her drinking.

What if she really does partake in pleasure with me every night, gets deeper and deeper into this pleasure, becomes addicted to it, and ends up being able to trigger the "intoxicated state" only during "intercourse"?

Does that mean she has to have sex before every performance?

Taku Hoshikawa has seen similar scenes in some manga anime - the idol who looks innocent on the surface and sings and dances charmingly on the stage has actually just had sex with her agent backstage, and as she dances, white spots occasionally fall on the stage.

This kind of thing is very exciting, and Hoshikawa Taku also wants to try it, but this kind of excitement can't become a daily routine, right?

All the passers-by in the book are blind and turn a blind eye to the idol's abnormality, but in reality there are many people with sharp eyes.

It might be possible to conceal it once or twice, but if it happens again and again, you will definitely be caught and exposed.

Therefore, for the sake of their future, they must not be greedy for momentary pleasure and link happiness with Hiroi's "intoxicated state".

In order to curb Hiroi Kikuri's alcohol addiction, Hoshikawa Taku strictly controlled her and did not allow her to drink a sip of alcohol. Once she felt irritable, dry mouth, and had withdrawal symptoms, he would drink coffee instead.

In addition, Taku Hoshikawa took her to the office gym every day to exercise, gradually rebuilding her body that had been hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

Taku Hoshikawa originally thought that with his systematic knowledge in the field of fitness, it would be a simple matter to train Kikuri Hiroi and help her gradually get used to exercise and fitness.

However, he misjudged one thing - Hiroi Kikuri's physical strength and willpower.

Hiroi Kikuri's body was severely damaged by alcohol. Let alone strength training, she couldn't even run for twenty minutes.

Hoshikawa Taku wanted to encourage her to continue, but she lay on the ground like a puddle of mud. No matter how Hoshikawa Taku moved her body back and forth, she was unwilling to move. At most, she turned over and continued to lie on the ground, looking like she was ready to be fucked.

Looking at Hiroi lying on his back defenselessly on the floor, his skin covered with a thin layer of sweat from exercise, his hair stuck to the side of his neck, his breathing warm and slightly disordered... Hoshikawa Taku almost lost his composure several times, and only managed to hold on after a mental struggle.

Until Saturday, the "indulgence day".

Taku Hoshikawa bought a can of beer for Kikuri Hiroi. She had never eaten meat before, so she could finally drink to her heart's content.

As if a long drought had finally ended with a downpour, Guangjing's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to drink it in big gulps. Soon the whole can of beer was finished.

However, this amount certainly could not satisfy her "hungry" body.

Unable to find satisfaction in alcohol, she turned to "another way" to find release.

This time, Takuya Hoshikawa, who had endured to the limit, could no longer endure it and vented all the energy he had been holding back for the past week on Kikuri Hiroi.

Taku Hoshikawa didn't remember how long they lasted last night. He only knew that when they finished, it was already dawn.

Hiroi Kikuri had no plans for today, so she could just lie in bed and sleep in. Hoshikawa Taku still had to go to a performance with Toyokawa Shoko, so even though he had a slight pain in his waist, he still forced himself to get up and wash up.

Yawning, he arrived at the office. Hoshikawa Taku was a little surprised that Xiangzi had arrived here early.

And beside her, there was another girl.

Xiangzi introduced: "Mr. Xingchuan, let me introduce this person. This is my childhood sweetheart and a very good guitarist, Wakaba Mutsu."

Chapter 250: Do you want to eat my cucumber?

Taku Hoshikawa knows Wakaba Mutsu very well.

She is the guitarist of CRYCHIC, childhood sweetheart of Toyokawa Shoko, her father is a popular comedian, and her mother is the well-known actress Minami Mori. She is currently studying at the aristocratic high school of Tsuki no Mori. It can be said that she is a veritable "second-generation star".

Taku Hoshikawa had wanted to meet her a long time ago, but he had never found a suitable opportunity. This time, he finally met her.

Wakaba Mutsu has a very beautiful face, with delicate features like a carved porcelain doll, and skin so white that it is almost transparent, but her expression is very indifferent, and she looks particularly cold against the backdrop of her light green hair.

When she saw Hoshikawa Taku, she just nodded lightly without saying a word.

Xiangzi quickly explained: "Xiao Mu is just like that, she is quiet and doesn't like to talk much. Mr. Xingchuan, please don't misunderstand me."

"Ok, I know."

Hoshikawa Taku nodded in understanding.

He knew that Ruo Ye Mu was not dissatisfied with him, but was just born not to like smiling. Not many people could make her express her emotions. Xingchuan Taku did not expect that she would smile at him the first time he met her.

He smiled and greeted Wakaba Mu: "Hello, my name is Xingchuan Taku, I am Xiangzi's agent. Since you are Xiangzi's friend, I will just call you Xiaomu."

Xiangzi had already confessed to him that Wakaba Mu was the person she trusted the most. As soon as the contract was decided, she told Xiao Mu first, so Xingchuan Taku did not hide his identity from Wakaba Mu.

Ruo Ye Mu still didn't say anything about Hoshikawa Taku's "familiarity", but just nodded slightly, as if agreeing with him calling him that.

Hoshikawa Taku looked at Xiangzi and asked, "Xiangzi, it's still early for the performance, right? You're here so early, are you planning to go somewhere?"

"I want to show Xiaomu around the office and let her see my working environment."

Xiangzi explained.

"So, do you need me to be your guide?"

"No, don't bother Mr. Xingchuan. I'll do it."
