"Oh, sorry,"

He quickly withdrew his hand, the wet touch of the other person's hair still lingering on his fingertips.

Wakaba Mu lowered her head, her heartbeat so loud it seemed the whole room could hear it. Furthermore, she felt the name "Wakaba Mu" singing in her head at high speed, making her brows furrow slightly.

(Xiao Xia took the initiative to touch Xiao Mu. Is she interested in Xiao Mu? I knew that Xiao Xia would like the cute Xiao Mu more than Xiangzi-chan...)

(Shut up……)

She clenched the edge of the sheet music, the paper deforming slightly in her hands.

At this moment, Sanjiao Chuxia's cell phone suddenly vibrated, and Ruoye Mu, who was standing close to him, also felt it.

He took out his cell phone.

Umiri: Hatsuka, I bought it for her when Ryuna-chan said she wanted to eat Ujigin.

Umiri: But what if she suddenly gets a headache while eating?

UIKA: It's just that she ate the cold food too quickly. Just put it aside for Lenai and let her rest for a while.

Umiri: [OK]

"Okay, Cucumber, let's get on with it."

………………

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people very long. Ruoye Mu walked quietly beside Sanjiao Chuxia with his keyboard on his back.

When turning the corner, a familiar black-haired figure appeared in front of her - Hanazono Tahui. She was standing in front of a vending machine, carrying a guitar bag and choosing a drink.

"Ah, it's Duohui-senpai." Sankaku Hatsuka walked up to her and greeted her, "Duohui-senpai, good evening."

Hearing the sound, Huayuan Duohui looked up and saw their figures.

"Xiao Xia, there's also... [personaction]'s keyboard player Wakaba Mutsu, right?"

"Yeah." Ruoye Mu nodded.

"What are you..."

"I just finished [personaction] practice and was sending Cucumber home," he replied naturally. "Where's Dahui-sun? Why is she still carrying her guitar so late at night?"

"Me? I'm on my way to the Poppin' Party right now."

"Hey, is Poppin' Party practice this late?"

Normally, students would go to band practice after school and go home just in time for dinner, but now it was almost past dinner time.

"No, it's because I just finished practicing as a temporary guitarist in another band." Hanazono Tae immediately gave the answer.

"Dai Hui-senpai actually joined another band as a temporary guitarist?"

"I want to practice before the cultural festival and hosting performances, and I have a friend who is also in that band."

"I see." He nodded and asked curiously, "Daihui, can you tell me the name of the band?"

Huayuan Duohui thought about it for a while before she said a string of (English) (kana) (names) a little awkwardly.

"[RAISE A SUILEN], abbreviated as [RAS]."

"[RAISE A SUILEN]... Does it mean 'raise the curtain'? What a crazy band."

"Xiao Xia actually knows what it means. I thought it was 'water lily' at first."

"I learned a little English recently when I was learning to write lyrics."

Although Sanjiao Chuxia seems to be playing with his mobile phone every day, he spends most of his free time from his part-time job learning how to write lyrics.

There was no way. Ruo Ye Mu's new song was too good, which made him feel a little pressured. If he didn't improve himself, he would not be able to write "lyrics worthy of Ruo Ye Mu's song."

The person involved, Ruoye Mu, stood aside, listening quietly to the conversation between the two, his fingers unconsciously stroking the strap of the keyboard bag.

After all, she was not very familiar with Hua Yuan Duohui and was not very good at talking, so it was better for her to keep quiet and not interrupt.

(Xiao Mu is like a child hanging out with adults.)

"Xiao Xia~"

"Ruoye Mu" suddenly took the hand of the person next to him and shook it coquettishly.

(What are you doing!?)

(If Xiao Mu doesn't speak up, he'll be ignored forever.)

Hearing the cute voice that she had never heard from her before, Sanjiao Hatsuxia turned around and looked at "Wakaba Mu" with some surprise.

"Little Cucumber, what did you just...?"

"nothing."

Ruoye Mu quickly regained control of his body and tried to pull his hand out of his hand, but found that he was held tightly by the other party.

Sanjiao Hatsuxia just held her hand and gave a slightly apologetic smile to Hanazono Duohui in front of him.

"Sorry, Dahui-senpai, it's getting late. I have to take her home first."

"Well, have a good trip." She waved goodbye to the two calmly.

Chapter 139 I Like Composing Music for Xia’s Band

After the two separated from Hanazono Tae, Sanjiao Hatsuka's expression suddenly became serious. He took Ruoye Mu into a deserted alley and put his hands on her shoulders.

"Little Cucumber, what happened to you just now? That tone... is totally unlike you."

Sanjiao Hatsuka looked directly at her face, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Wakaba Mu's shoulders trembled slightly under his palm. The alley was dark, and only the lights from the distant shops illuminated her pale face.

"I..." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's.

(Xiao Mu, why don’t you just tell me to leave? That way, I can appear in front of Xiao Xia openly.)

Ruoye Mu suggested in her mind with some anticipation, but was ignored.

"I've been too tired lately." Ruoye Mu still chose to avoid it, his fingers tightly gripping the strap of the keyboard bag.

Sanjiao Chuxia's gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds, as if judging the truthfulness of this statement.

Finally, he sighed and released his hand. "Do you want to see a doctor? Or give [personaction] a few days off?"

"No, it's okay."

Wakaba Mu shook his head slightly, and his green hair swayed slightly beside his cheeks.

(I’m sorry, I’m afraid Xia will look at me strangely after I tell others about you.)

(…It’s okay, Xiao Mu. I understand. No need to apologize.)

Seeing Ruoye Mu fall into silence again, Sanjiao Chuxia hesitated for a moment, and suddenly reached out and placed her hand above her head.

"Last time I patted Lenai's head, you were probably looking over here." His voice softened. "I don't know if I misunderstood you. If you don't like it, just stay away."

(!!!)

(Could it be!)

Ruoye Mu's body froze noticeably. She widened her eyes slightly, watching Sanjiao Chuxia's hand slowly descend, finally gently covering the top of her head.

This simple action seemed to carry an electric current, making all the nerve endings in her body sensitive.

The tips of her ears turned red at a visible speed, but she didn't shy away. Instead, like a cat being stroked, she unconsciously tilted her head back slightly, letting the touch last longer.

Sanjiao Chuxia blinked in surprise and gently combed her soft hair with his fingers.

"As expected... Little Cucumber, you've been under a lot of pressure lately, haven't you?" His voice was soft, with a hint of heartache. "I'm sorry, I asked you to compose music even though I knew you had so little free time."

(Hey, Xiaoxia is so gentle~)

Only then did he realize how obvious his reaction was. Ruo Yemu hurriedly took a step back, but then regretted it because he was reluctant to leave that warmth.

"I……"

"I'll tell Hai Ling that [personaction] shouldn't rush to release new songs. 'Moonlight Cocoon' and 'Black Cage' are already enough for a live performance."

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people very long. Ruo Ye Mu lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt.

"Really...it's okay." She finally raised her head, her voice soft but firm, "I like it. I'm composing music for [personaction]."

(I love composing music for Xia's band.)

(It would be nice if Xiao Mu could speak so frankly.)

The alley was quiet, and in the distance came the sound of the convenience store's automatic door. Sanjiao Hatsuxia looked at her still expressionless face and the slightly reddened tips of her ears, and suddenly smiled.

"Then at least let me help you share some of the pressure."

"It's decided. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to learn composition. Once I learn it, I won't have to put this burden entirely on you."

Ruoye Mu felt his cheeks getting hot, but he still nodded gently: "...Yeah."

(It’s not fair that Xiao Mu is the only one enjoying himself outside. I want to come out too↑↓~)

(No, you'll be discovered.)

(No, no, I can pretend to be Xiao Mu and won’t be discovered.)

As they walked out of the alley, the streetlights came on. Sanjiao Chuxia naturally took her heavy keyboard bag and took out her cell phone with her other hand.

"Let's tell Hai Ling now that we won't be writing new songs in the short term."

Having said that, he directly started a chat with Hachiman Kailing in the group chat.

UIKA: Hailing, I think [personaction] needs to settle down.

Umiri: What are you talking about?

Umiri: [personaction] We haven't even had a live performance yet, so why are you suddenly saying you want to take a break?

UIKA: Oh, what I mean is that Xiaomu and I have run out of inspiration, so we won’t be writing new songs in the near future.

Umiri: ...Okay.

"OK, Hailing agreed."

Ruoye Mu looked at the group chat message, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. The halo of the street lamp plated a soft golden edge on her green hair.

"Thank you..." she whispered, but her voice was drowned out by the noise of the street.

The two of them walked slowly along the street under the streetlights. The night breeze blew past, lifting a few strands of her hair.

Just before arriving at Wakaba Mutsu's house, Sanka Hatsuka seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke.

"Come to think of it, Cucumber, why are you switching keyboards? You could just do what I said and play guitar while I focus on singing."

Ruoye Mu stopped in his tracks.

(How about it, Xiao Mu, do you want to confess?)

(If it's just a part...it's okay.)

"Because Xia likes to play guitar."

………………

"Xiao Mu, do you think the other reason is really hard to say?"

The person who spoke was "Wakaba Mu", who was allowed out for some fresh air. Because he had not promised to tell Sankaku Hatsuka about her, Wakaba Mu voluntarily gave up control of her body for a while to compensate her.

(Well, Xia wouldn't want to hear that.)

"Is it more difficult to talk about than my existence?"

(The thought of replacing Xiang's place in Xia's heart in this way should not arise.)

In Wakaba Mu's eyes, Sanka Hatsuka likes Toyokawa Shoko, so she subconsciously moves herself closer to Toyokawa Shoko in order to make him fall in love with her.

This is true for being a keyboard player and also for being a composer.
