Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Gao Songdeng stood in front of the microphone, his hands shaking slightly.

There were only about a dozen audience members sitting under the stage. Most of them looked relaxed, and some were chatting in low voices while holding wine glasses.

It is the opening time with the lowest traffic, there are not many customers, and no bands are willing to perform at this time. That's why Rinrinko easily allocated this time to them.

On the stage, Shiina Tateki sat behind the drum stool with the drumsticks hanging in the air, and Nagasaki Motoyo also lowered her head to tune the bass with her back, and both of their expressions were not very good.

The three of them looked at each other, and then Gao Songdeng nodded gently: "I'm going to start."

After the third countdown, Lixi's drum beats fell like raindrops, with a clean and neat rhythm.

Su Shi's bass followed closely behind, laying a solid foundation for the bass.

Gao Songdeng's voice was like a finely crafted dagger, cutting through the surrounding noise.

She sang very hard, as if she was fighting against the whole world.

However... that's all.

A band cannot exist without guitars.

The lack of lead guitar makes the song seem empty and monotonous even though the three of them are very serious.

The blank spaces between melodies are too long, and the transitions seem awkward and weak.

There was soon a murmur of discussion in the audience, and some people even booed softly.

"What's this... Guitar isn't here?"

"The lead singer sang very hard, but it was too empty."

The sound from the audience penetrated his ears, and Shiina Riki gritted his teeth and almost smashed the drumstick.

But Gao Songdeng remained unmoved. Her voice was still like a candle flame swaying in the night wind. Although it was trembling, she still sang with all her might.

As she sang the melody that belonged to her and the three of them, a light almost like obsession appeared in her eyes.

The response from the audience at the first performance was not good.

However, despite the questioning looks from Su Shi and Li Xi, Takamatsu Deng still booked the next time slot with Rinrinko.

In the following days, even though the audience was getting smaller and smaller, they continued to perform on stage again and again.

Even if their voices were drowned out by the noise of the pub, even if every performance seemed like asking for trouble, they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

Even Rinrinko began to suspect that they were torturing themselves. If Nagasaki Suyo hadn't asked for more money, she really might not have given them the stage again.

Shiina Riki is willing to sacrifice her life to accompany a gentleman. Since Deng wants to perform, she will stand on the stage with Deng and embarrass herself together.

As for Nagasaki Suyo, she vaguely guessed Takamatsu Deng's thoughts. During the performance, she not only did not feel embarrassed or ashamed, but also had a smile on her lips.

The performances were terrible for several days in a row.

Until... on the fifth day of the performance, things suddenly changed.

When Takamatsu Deng finished singing the prelude and was about to enter the chorus, suddenly, a clear and powerful guitar sound suddenly rang out from behind them.

At that moment, it was like light piercing through the dark clouds, and notes surged out from a corner of the stage, hitting everyone.

It easily fills the gap in the melody, like a stroke of genius falling from the sky, instantly lighting up the missing touch in the entire poem "Shi Chao Ban".

The three of them were startled and turned their heads almost reflexively.

At the side of the stage, Yao Lenai was standing on the stage at some point, with an electric guitar slung across his body and an effects pedal with a newly plugged-in cable at his feet.

"Lena, you're here!"

A look of joy appeared on Nagasaki Suyo's face.

Yao Le Nai snorted softly, raised the corner of his mouth, and said lazily: "Your performance is terrible. It's a pity you still dare to perform on stage... I really can't stand it."

At this moment, her short white hair shone brightly under the light, like a hero appearing on the stage.

Then, without waiting for a response, she went straight into the chorus, her fingertips dancing on the strings, the rhythm sharp and cutting.

She had only seen the music score once, but she already knew the song by heart. It has to be said that Kaname is really a genius.

With her joining, the whole poem "Poetry Super Bond" suddenly came into real life.

With the accompaniment of the "three major instruments" of drums, bass and guitar, Deng's voice was finally firmly supported, and emotions poured out like a tide.

The audience suddenly became quiet. All the whispers and ridicules gradually disappeared in the sound of the guitar, and they began to listen carefully to the performance on the stage.

In the corner, Rinrinko crossed her arms, with the corners of her mouth raised, her expression full of satisfaction and pride.

"Lena is finally willing to go on stage. I've been trying to persuade her every day... Doesn't she really like the feeling of being on stage?"

Chapter 289: Su Shi is someone who can be my mother.

This performance was a great success.

When the last note fell, the air stagnated for a few seconds, and then there was a wave of applause and cheers.

Some people stood up and applauded, some whistled, and some even shouted "One more song!"

These guests who were originally just drinking, chatting and killing time were now ignited by this performance that was different from usual.

The stage lights shone on the four people, and the interweaving of light seemed to cover them with a layer of brilliant starlight.

They were covered in sweat, but their eyes were shining.

Shiina Riki waved his drumsticks in a victory sign to the audience, Suyo bowed deeply to the audience with his bass on his back, and Takamatsu Touma clasped his hands together and kept saying "Thank you, thank you everyone!"

Yao Lenai didn't say much, just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, enjoying the atmosphere in the venue. Then he quietly put away his electric guitar, turned around and went backstage, preparing to leave quietly as usual.

But just as she was about to leave through the backstage exit, Nagasaki Suyo reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Lena, since you're willing to perform on stage with us, are you... willing to join us?"

Kaname was stopped in his tracks by her sudden question.

Her eyes moved slightly, and she curled her lips and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just think your performance is terrible and I can't stand it. It's amazing that you dare to perform on stage without a guitar..."

Nagasaki Suyo smiled nonchalantly, looking at Kaname Rakuna with a gentle but somewhat cunning look: "So... our band needs you."

Nagasaki Suyo has seen through Takamatsu Touma's "intention".

Yao Lenai loves playing music, and every time she comes to RING, she wants to find a place where she can play the guitar freely.

However, because of the presence of these few people, every time Lenai came to RING these days, she would just eat the parfait and leave, and never went to play.

She had never been able to find release and was very "depressed", and at this time, they were performing a very "bad" performance on the stage.

It's like saying, our performance is missing you.

This is equivalent to giving Yao Lenai a "step down". As long as the time is right, she will naturally go on stage to perform.

I really didn't expect...Takamatsu Deng, who has always been so weak, could actually come up with such a method.

Nagasaki Suyo looked at Takamatsu Deng with some admiration, but she didn't expect that Takamatsu Deng was also equally excited.

Her face flushed with emotion, and she stammered in gratitude: "Lena, I really didn't expect you to show up at such a critical moment. It's really... really great!"

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned for a moment.

——Wait, Takamatsu Deng... didn't think about this at all from the beginning to the end?

She is not trying to "design a step" to let Kaname Lenai go on stage, but does she really believe that as long as their performance can impress each other, Kaname Lenai will come back willingly?

Su Shi looked at Deng's face, which was flushed with excitement, in a daze, and felt that his previous calculations seemed a little ridiculous in the face of such pure belief.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed softly.

Forget it, whether it's out of strategy or emotion... the result is what matters most now.

Su Shi stepped forward and asked in a gentle and expectant tone: "Lenai, are you planning to rejoin us now? Will you perform with us in the future?"

Kaname looked up and thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "...I guess so. Who made your performance so bad?"

She glanced at the three of them, a subtle smile on her lips as she added calmly, "But let me be clear, I'm just willing to perform on stage with you... It doesn't mean I want to join your band."

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, poured on the atmosphere that was just enthusiastic.

Su Shi frowned slightly, but did not refute immediately.

She looked at Yao Lenai, softened her tone as much as possible, and asked with a hint of sincerity:

"Why? Why are you still unwilling to come back? If you are upset because of something I did or said before, I apologize to you... As long as you are willing to come back, I will do my best to make it up to you."

She spoke slowly and sincerely, "Lenai, I really hope you can come back so we can happily form a band together."

Kaname was silent for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly asked, "...What about Aine?"

When this name came out, the three of them were stunned at the same time.

Takamatsu Deng's smile froze on his face in an instant, and Shiina Riki also lowered his head and subconsciously clenched the drumstick in his hand.

Su Shi bit her lip and finally said, "...Aine found a better band, so she won't be coming back."

When she said this, she forced herself to curl the corners of her mouth, trying to appear relaxed. "If you feel that the performance will be too empty without the rhythm guitar, I will find another guitarist."

Kaname slowly shook her head upon hearing this, and said calmly, "No need. Since Aiyin can find a better band, I should also leave some wiggle room and wait for that 'better band' to come to me."

"I can perform with you guys, but as for continuing to form a band... forget it."

After she said that, she turned and left.

After walking a few steps, he paused, turned around and said to everyone, "I'm leaving now. If you have any rehearsals or performances later, please send me a message. I'll get back to you this time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left again.

Originally, Shiina Riki was in a good mood because of the great success of this performance, but after what Kaname Rakuna said, she became irritable again.

"We're not looking for extras, we're looking for teammates to become a professional band together! What's her attitude like? It's like she's giving us alms!"

She looked at Su Shi and said indignantly, "Su Shi, forget about Lenai! Judging from her appearance, even if she joins our band, she won't sign a contract with us! From now on, our main focus should be on Wakaba Mu. She's more likely to agree."

Su Shi was silent for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

"...That's right."

As a wild cat, Lenai is used to freedom.

She may stay in a habitat temporarily for food, but she will not regard it as a long-term residence and she has no feelings for it.

Once she is tempted by tastier food or attracted by a better environment, she will ruthlessly choose to abandon them.

Su Shi had originally been thinking about trying her best to get Le Na to stay, but now that she had no such intention, there was no need to force it.

It's not like she doesn't have a backup candidate.

Su Shi let out a long breath, and when he raised his head, the smile on his face had faded, and he had regained his calm and thoughtful look.

"Le Nai really doesn't plan to come back, at least not yet. In that case... I'll go find Xiao Mu first."

Gao Songdeng asked worriedly, "Su Shi, are you sure?"

Su Shi smiled slightly: "Believe me, I have found a way to convince Xiao Mu."

……

At noon the next day, Su Shi came to the small garden and stood behind Xiao Mu who was taking care of the cucumbers.

Xiao Mu noticed Su Shi and a look of joy appeared on his face.

She hasn't been able to have a good conversation with Su Shi for several days.

Ever since Su Shi talked to her that day, it seemed like he was deliberately avoiding her. Even if she tried to talk to Su Shi actively, Su Shi always made excuses such as rehearsals or being in a hurry, or even simply took a detour.

Su Shi must have known that I had informed Xiangzi about this, so she was very dissatisfied with me and deliberately ignored me...

After realizing this, Xiao Mu consciously stopped looking for Su Shi.

Xiao Mu originally thought that Su Shi would not look for her again, but she did not expect that she would appear behind her at this moment. She quickly pulled off a ripe cucumber, rinsed it under the faucet, and handed it to Su Shi like a treasure.

"Sushi, try this!"

Su Shi had a gentle smile on her face, as if nothing had happened. She took the cucumber and chewed it slowly, savoring the thoughtful gift from Xiao Mu.

Under Xiao Mu's expectant gaze, she nodded with a smile: "It's delicious, juicy and refreshing. It's worthy of being the variety you carefully cultivated, Xiao Mu."

"Very good……"

Xiao Mu's face turned slightly red, and he felt happy because of Su Shi's praise.

She felt that Su Shi must have forgiven her by saying this.
