He was speechless for a moment, while Rinrinko covered her mouth and laughed secretly, obviously seeing through everything.
"Um... Little Cucumber didn't bring her keyboard either. We can't have her watching us play." Sanjiao Chuxia gritted her teeth and continued to make excuses. "Besides, didn't we announce in the group that we wouldn't practice [Personaction] today..."
The silver-haired girl blinked, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, finally settling on Wakaba Mu's slightly swollen lips.
"Mu, your mouth is red."
"!!!"
Ruoye Mu's body trembled violently, his head buried even lower, and blood almost dripped from the tip of his ears.
Sankaku Hatsuka's mind raced, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation, but before he could open his mouth, Rinrinko interrupted at the perfect time: "Hatsuka-san, didn't you say you had a part-time job this afternoon? Isn't it too late to go now?"
"Oh yes, it will be too late if we don't go now."
He nodded quickly and was about to leave this embarrassing place along the stairs, but Yao Lenai suddenly stretched out her little hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Little Lenai?"
Kaname raised her face in front of him and pointed at the corner of her mouth: "Xiao Xia, help me wipe it clean."
Sanjiao Hatsuxia was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly. He took out a napkin from his pocket and gently wiped the remaining matcha parfait from the corner of her mouth.
The girl narrowed her eyes slightly like a cat having its fur stroked, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
"Okay." He ruffled Kaname's soft silver hair, "Can you let me go now?"
"Ah."
Maomao nodded, then obediently let go of their hands and let the two leave.
As they exited RiNG's back door, the summer heat washed over them. Mikado Hatsuka deliberately slowed down her pace, walking side by side with Wakaba Mutsu under the shade of the trees. A delicate silence hung between them, the only sound echoing in their ears: the chirping of cicadas.
"Um..." He hesitated and said, "What happened just now..."
Ruoye Mu suddenly stopped in her tracks. She raised her head, a complex light flashing in her pale golden eyes: "Xia... do you hate that?"
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on her delicate face. Sanjiao Chuxia looked at the usually taciturn girl beside her, who was now asking such a straightforward question, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
"It's not that I hate you..." Sanjiao Chuxia chose her words carefully, the tips of her ears burning slightly, "It's just... it's a bit sudden..."
Suddenly I didn’t know how to face Ruoye Mu.
Although it was Wakaba Mu's second personality who kissed him "actively" and with some "force", the body belonged to Wakaba Mu after all.
He could recall her soft lips, her slightly trembling eyelashes, and her breath with a faint scent of cucumber.
(How can I go back to my previous attitude now?)
(And according to the second personality, Cucumber seems to be...)
Thinking of this, Sanjiao Hatsuka secretly glanced at Wakaba Mutsu who was holding his schoolbag in both hands.
"Cucumber."
"Ok?"
"Would you...feel bothered by her controlling your body and doing that to me?"
"...I don't hate it." She said softly, "Because...it's Xia."
These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in Sanjiao Chuxia's heart.
"But... I can't do that anymore."
Ruoye Mu's voice was so soft it was almost drowned out by the chirping of the summer cicadas. Her slender fingers gripped the strap of her schoolbag tightly, her knuckles turning white from the strain.
"Why?" he asked subconsciously.
"Because... Xia has a lover, doesn't he?"
A gust of wind blew, gently blowing up Ruoye Mu's waist-length light green hair. Along with the leaves, a few inconspicuous tears also fell into the air.
(Stupid Xiao Mu, how can you say such things! Let me out now, Xiao Xia obviously has feelings for you too!)
(I won't... let you out again...)
Knowing that Sanjiao Chuxia didn't mind doing that kind of thing with her, Ruo Yemu was already very satisfied. Since the other party already had a lover, even if it was not Toyokawa Shoko, she shouldn't do anything that crossed the line.
………………
ps: Today’s interview revealed information: except for the first time, the matcha parfait on the corner of the cat’s mouth was left intentionally, and the purpose can be imagined.
ps2: Xiaoxiang hasn't even kissed Chuxia yet, but his other half has already gotten the upper hand (laugh)
Chapter 215 Are you willing to give me the rest of your life?
Lublanc's coffee machine emitted a gentle hum of steam, and Sanjiao Hatsuka was diligently polishing a glass. Toyokawa Shoko placed a small stack of sheet music on the bar, her pale golden eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Xia, I have something to tell you."
It's almost time to get off work, there are no other customers in Lubrun, and no new customers will come.
Sanjiao Chuxia put down the work in her hands and looked at her with some confusion.
"what's up?"
Shoko Toyokawa smiled mysteriously and pulled out a plan with "Ave Mujica" written on it from the bottom.
"Xia, do you remember what you promised me?" She gently pushed the project plan in front of Sanjiao Chuxia, her fingertips lingering on the red and black cursive letters of [Ave Mujica]. "Now, it's time to fulfill your promise."
His heartbeat quickened as he gazed at the proposal. The delicate gold-stamped lines on the paper shimmered slightly under the light, adding a touch of elegance to the design.
"This is……"
"I told Xia on Line a few days ago about the new band I'm going to form." Her voice was filled with rare joy. "Now, I want to formally invite you."
I saw Toyokawa Shoko restrain her facial expression, and then slowly revealed a "divine" smile.
"Sanjiao Chuxia, are you willing to give the rest of your life to me?"
"It's my honor, Xiang... No, my Lord God." Sanjiao Chuxia cooperated very well, placed her right hand in front of her body, and leaned forward gently.
The corners of Toyokawa Shoko's mouth curled up slightly, and her fingertips gently lifted his chin. The warm yellow light gilded her, and a mysterious glint flowed in her eyes.
"So, from this moment on, Xia is the lead guitarist of [Ave Mujica]."
As soon as the words fell, Sanjiao Chuxia straightened up and couldn't help but chuckle: "Is this such a formal (Chinese) initiation ceremony?"
"Of course." Toyokawa Shoko took out an exquisite black box from her bag. "This is your mask."
The lid of the box opens, revealing an exquisite half-face mask resting quietly on the red velvet lining. The left side extends to the cheek, hollowed out like mist in the night, and carved with a marigold pattern.
Sanjiao Chuxia carefully took out the mask, and felt a cool and silky touch on her fingertips.
"I spent a lot of time designing this, and it's completely handmade." She said with a hint of pride, "The materials used are all skin-friendly, so it won't be uncomfortable even if you wear it for a long time."
He gently placed the mask over his face, the cool touch against his skin.
"How is it?" She leaned forward slightly, her blue hair sliding down her shoulders.
"It's very light, almost weightless." Sanjiao Chuxia adjusted the tightness, and the mask fit perfectly on his face. "This pattern..."
"It's marigold." Toyokawa Shoko's fingertips gently brushed the hollow pattern on the mask. "Marigold's flower language is sadness, symbolizing how you look when I hurt you."
"Didn't we agree not to bring up that matter again? Why are you the one bringing it up, Xiaoxiang?"
"Although I don't want to mention it, I can't forget the wrongs I did to Xia. Let it serve as a constant reminder to me."
After saying that, she smiled and then gently placed a kiss on the empty right half of Sanjiao Chuxia's face.
He looked at Toyokawa Shoko through the mask and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Xiaoxiang, didn't you say that each member would have a code name? What's my code name?"
"Doloris." She pointed to the lower half of the proposal, to the right of the column for guitar vocals. "It means 'sadness,' which corresponds to the flower language of the marigold on the mask."
Hearing this, Sanjiao Chuxia nodded and memorized the code name and its meaning.
He looked at the part that Toyokawa Shoko pointed to. Besides himself, there were several other confirmed members:
Guitar and vocals: Doloris
Guitar: Mortis Wakaba
Keyboard: Shoko Toyokawa (Oblivionis)
Beth:?
Drummer: Yutenji Ruomai (undecided)
(Cucumber and... Meow Dream kiss?)
He could understand Wakaba Mu's position as guitarist, as her guitar skills were truly exceptional. Even though she had already joined Personaction, since he, the lead singer, had joined, it wasn't surprising for the guitarist to follow suit.
However, the choice of the drummer made Sankaku Hatsuka a little confused. Why was it Yutenji Wakamugi?
"Xiao Xiang." He pointed at the name behind the drummer and asked, "Why is Miao Mengqin the drummer?"
When it comes to this, Shoko Toyokawa sighed helplessly.
"Almost all the great drummers have their own bands, so there's nowhere else to find them."
"Then Miao Meng kissed her..."
"I accidentally saw her playing drums in a video before."
As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and clicked on a video of Yutenji Wakami. "Although her skills are currently average, she's a rare ambidextrous player who can play music with intense drumming. With a little training after she's recruited, she'll be able to be the drummer for Ave Mujica."
Watching the video, Sankaku Hatsuka nodded in understanding. He remembered that Yutenji Wakamu's home did have an electronic drum set, but he had never seen her play it.
"But speaking of which, Xia is very concerned about Yutenji Wakami's situation."
Toyokawa Shoko swiped her fingertips across the screen, and the video stopped abruptly. She put the phone back in her pocket, her golden eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of a smile curved the corners of her mouth.
"I've been asking about her since a while ago. Did you develop feelings for her while filming the video?"
Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. Although the other person's voice was very gentle, it gave him a sense of danger.
But before he could explain, the atmosphere returned to normal.
"I know there's nothing between you and her, Xia. I just felt a little uncomfortable when I saw you two together last time." As if she knew that she had been being unreasonable just now, Toyokawa Shoko's cheeks flushed slightly.
Although his future lover looked cute when she was jealous, Sanjiao Chuxia gave up the idea of teasing her again in order to prevent her from breathing out.
"So, Xiaoxiang, have you recruited her?"
"Not yet." She shook her head. "But I've already sent the private message. I'm planning to meet with her in a few days, but..."
"only?"
"It's just that I haven't figured out how to get her to agree to join Ave Mujica. After all, Yutenji Wakami is extremely utilitarian, and now that I've left the Toyokawa family, I don't have enough leverage."
Although they had only met a few times, Toyokawa Shoko could tell the other person's general personality traits from Yutenji Wakami's attitude towards Sanka Hatsuka. Although she was not as extremely selfish as many people in society, she was not as clear and innocent as an ordinary student.
Moreover, she always pesters Sanjiao Chuxia to shoot videos, which makes Toyokawa Shoko very unhappy. It seems that she is intentionally or unintentionally promoting the CP, which makes Toyokawa Shoko dislike her more and more.
If she really couldn't find a more suitable candidate, she wouldn't have chosen Yutenji Wakami.
"In fact, I originally thought of using Mu's identity to attract Yutenji Wakami, but Mu doesn't like to be in the spotlight, especially as the 'daughter of a celebrity', so I gave up the idea.
In order to prevent Mu from being recognized, the mask I designed for her covers almost her entire face.”
Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's distressed expression, Sankaku Hatsuka thought for a moment and then suggested, "How about using me as a bargaining chip?"
"Using Xia as a bargaining chip?"
"That's right, Xiaoxiang can use 'permission to collaborate with Sanjiao Chuxia on a video' as a condition to get Miao Mengqin to join [Ave Mujica]."
After hearing his words, Toyokawa Shoko nodded in sudden realization, a light flashing in her eyes.
"I see……"
"But since you're using me as a condition, I also have a condition."
"What conditions?"
Sanjiao Chuxia gave a wicked smile, put her mouth close to her ear and whispered softly: "My condition is..."
The tips of Toyokawa Shoko's ears instantly flushed crimson, and her fingers gripping the project plan unconsciously tightened. She tilted her face slightly, trying to hide her burning cheeks, but the blush had already spread to her neck.
