Band heavy girl? Please stay away from me

If Ye Mu directly asked the question that concerned her most, Xiangzi's recent experience would undoubtedly make this childhood sweetheart who cared about her feel uncomfortable.

But when Shoko Toyokawa heard the deep worry in Wakaba Mu's tone, she suddenly remembered something bad and frowned quietly.

Ever since Toyokawa Shoko left the Toyokawa family, the last thing she wanted to hear was her friends expressing their concerns—as if to say that she couldn't survive after leaving the Toyokawa family. Why did they think she couldn't support herself after leaving the Toyokawa family?!

What Toyokawa Shoko cared about was never her friends' concern, but the worried looks and concerned tone they inadvertently revealed to her.

In Xiangzi's cognition, these were insults to her self-esteem, as if mocking her incompetence. Now she had fallen into such a miserable situation, and she was no longer the glamorous eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family.

Apart from the pure white figure in her memory, Shoko Toyokawa didn't want to hear other people's concerns about her.

"It's okay..." Xiangzi responded with a stiff smile.

Soon, Ruo Yemu keenly noticed that Xiangzi was unhappy. A feeling of confusion engulfed her heart, and she felt disappointed.

The girl lowered her eyes sadly, no longer daring to look directly at Xiangzi in front of her.

I seem to have messed up again...

Could it be that I am really not suitable to speak?

It was just a simple expression of concern, so why did the effect differ completely from what Rin said?

Wakaba Mu didn't understand.

Although the two girls are each other's halves, they both have their own flaws.

Mu does not understand Xiangzi's self-esteem and does not know how to resolve the girl's inner stubbornness. He can only blindly obey Xiangzi's arrangements, like a puppet at the mercy of others.

Xiangzi also did not understand Mu. She could not understand the emotions expressed by Mu when he played the guitar. At the same time, she ignored the other party's feelings and had no idea of ​​the torment that her half of the body was suffering in his heart.

"Xiangzi, is there something you want to talk to me about..."

Wakaba Mu said dejectedly.

After a few seconds, Toyokawa Shoko finally realized that Wakaba Mu was in a bad mood, so she quickly said:

"Well, there is something, but before that."

The blue-haired girl paused deliberately and said in a gentle tone:

"Is Xiaomu feeling better recently? I'm sorry, I've been busy lately and haven't been able to find time to visit you. I'm really sorry."

Upon hearing this, Ruoye Mu immediately understood that what Xiangzi was talking about was probably the conflict between herself and Su Shi in Tsukinomori Academy not long ago. Because of the unintentional words that made her feel uncomfortable, she pretended to be sick and ran back home to hide. During this time, she ignored any messages sent to her by anyone.

It is true that after learning about this, Toyokawa Shoko quickly comforted Wakaba Mutsu, who was sad and alone at home at the time, but the result was obvious. Shoko's condolences had no effect at all, and Mutsu didn't even want to reply to Shoko's message at first.

It was not until Rin finished negotiating with Mu that Mu was willing to respond to the news from Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Suyo, so that Shoko's words were now so weak and powerless in front of Mu.

"Well...thank you for your concern." Mu responded calmly.

That’s all I can say. If Ye Mu wanted to repair her relationship with Xiangzi, she would naturally not express her inner sadness.

Because Ruoye Mu knew that this was obviously not possible - except for a white-haired guitarist, no one could give the girl extremely gentle feedback when she expressed her sadness, so as not to make the girl think that the whole world did not need her existence.

Someone cares about her, and the girl’s heart is no longer empty.

So...why did Xiangzi come to find me?

On such an important afternoon?

For some reason, even before Ruo Yemu heard what Xiangzi had said, she felt a hint of regret in her heart, and the bitterness gradually spread and continued.

"Well, Xiao Mu, I actually asked you to come here today to talk to you about things in the band."

"...Is it CRYCHIC?"

Wakaba Mu asked uncertainly.

"Yes and no. I've already quit CRYCHIC, so there's no reason for me to rejoin. Besides, haven't you already..."

Shoko Toyokawa first shook her head slightly, then halfway through her words, she suddenly realized the inappropriateness of her words and immediately closed her mouth, her two pale pink thin lips then closed.

After a moment, Xiangzi slowly said, "Xiao Mu, have you told them about me? Especially Su Shi?"

"No..." Ruoye Mu said truthfully.

Mu didn't understand why Xiangzi asked this, but when she saw the expectation and strangeness in Xiangzi's eyes, she suddenly realized that what Xiangzi was going to talk about today was probably something big.

as predicted.

After confirming that Wakaba Mutsu did not leak the secret, Toyokawa Shoko's expression did not change at all, but gradually became more solemn. She then looked seriously at the confused cucumber girl in front of her.

After a long while, Xiangzi broke the silence in a serious tone:

"So, Xiaomu, do you still want to continue forming a band? Not CRYCHIC, but a new band."

Perhaps because of the stimulation from Rin's many helps, or because of the urgent desire to return the money to Rin, as well as the beating heart of wanting to move forward with Rin, Xiangzi's thoughts about the future were unexpectedly advanced.

Toyokawa Shoko clearly understood one thing:

If I, who am so down and out, continue to work and muddle through the day, I will still have no right to be by the side of that dazzling white-haired girl in the future...

If he wanted to continue walking hand in hand with Shimizu Rin into the future, he had to climb up desperately until he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Rin.

Only then will she be able to express her feelings openly, right?

Moreover, regarding forming a new band in the future, Shoko Toyokawa has her own carefully considered considerations.

Even though Shoko Toyokawa changed her future plans halfway because of Rin Shimizu, she did not intend to reorganize CRYCHIC again.

Xiangzi still can't act calmly and gather the CRYCHIC members who she hurt together again. This has become a hurdle in the girl's heart. This band should have been buried in the girls' common past along with "Spring Shadow".

Moreover, from a practical point of view, the musical level of Su Shi and the others is not enough to support Shimizu Rin to realize her guitar dream, nor can it fulfill the promise that Xiangzi made to Rin.

In this way, although Shoko Toyokawa may be able to revive the dilapidated band CRYCHIC, Rin Shimizu will still choose to leave due to various problems in the band.

This was obviously the situation that Xiangzi least wanted to see.

What’s wrong with being a little extreme?

Will I regret it only when it’s too late?

Perhaps the band CRYCHIC is still important to Shoko Toyokawa, but that is only in the past and is not enough to carry the lives of the girls.

"...new band?" Mu said in surprise.

Hearing Xiangzi's shocking words, Ruoye Mu was unsurprisingly completely confused, looking at his childhood sweetheart in front of him who had changed so much in a trance.

The girl couldn't help but recall the way the person in front of her first invited her to join her band. They looked so similar, but why were their situations and changes so drastic?

Forming a new band... What about CRYCHIC? Is this band completely no longer needed by Xiangzi? It's clearly Xiangzi's own band, right?

Before Ruoye Mu could continue his thoughts, Toyokawa Shoko, who was indifferent, turned and began to explain excitedly:

"That's right, but I haven't finished creating the band's worldview yet. In the short term... I won't be forming a new band, but I will probably form one in the future."

"And we have no idea about the band members at the moment, so this time I just came to ask Mu's opinion and want to hear Mu's ideas." Xiangzi said truthfully.

In fact, Toyokawa Shoko's blackening has never been cured. She only recovered a little after Shimizu Rin's guidance, but it was still not enough to completely restore the white Shoko in the girls' memories.

All that can be guaranteed at the moment is the established fact that it is almost impossible for Xiangzi to breathe on Lin.

It's just that he expressed his evil side in a different way.

The girl is essentially still the same Toyokawa Shoko who wants to kill her past soft self.

Perhaps the tenderness of the past can only be glimpsed now when Xiangzi treats a special girl?

Special treatment is nothing special.

Because the girl's uniqueness deserves such special treatment.

"My opinion?"

Ruoye Mu murmured. Under such unexpected information bombardment, the girl's thoughts were in a mess and she almost lost the ability to think normally.

But this state did not last long.

Because the cucumber girl suddenly thought of a question - will Shimizu Rin be in the new band formed by Xiangzi?

As a playmate of Toyokawa Shoko for many years, although Wakaba Mu does not understand Shoko's stubborn self-esteem, she is naturally aware of Shoko's care for Rin, and she also understands the importance of Rin to Shoko.

If Xiangzi wants to form a band in the future, she will definitely invite Lin to join the band, and Xiangzi will not change this no matter what.

"Well... I haven't made up my mind yet, so I wanted to ask Xiaomu's opinion and see if he wants to join the band I might form in the future."

Finally, Shoko Toyokawa smiled more relaxedly. She then looked expectantly at the hesitant Wakaba Mutsu, patiently waiting for his answer.

"I...I don't know."

"Is that so... Then can I ask Xiao Mu to keep this a secret for me for now? I don't want anyone else to know about this, including Rin."

Toyokawa Shoko felt a little surprised at Mu's ambiguous answer, but she didn't say anything in the end. After all, she knew that her invitation would indeed cause some trouble for Mu.

[Mu is still thinking about CRYCHIC... This is a bit troublesome...]

When Shoko Toyokawa thought so, she still maintained the same smile on her face, as if she didn't care at all about Ruoye Mu's avoidance.

After all, the worldview of my band is not yet complete, and the overall plan is blank. As such, verbal description is naturally not very attractive.

Furthermore, if Ye Mu still has some attachment in his heart, perhaps when this attachment fades away, this barrier will disappear?

Toyokawa Shoko thought she knew Mu well enough, and if she invited Mu again, Mu would most likely agree, after all, they had many years of friendship.

"That... Xiangzi."

"What's wrong, Xiao Mu?"

"If I were to join, what would my position be in the band?"

"Like CRYCHIC, Xiaomu is also the rhythm guitarist. Is that okay?"

Shoko Toyokawa didn't quite understand why Wakaba Mu asked this question, but she still told Mu about her plans for the future band according to her inner expectations.

"That's it..."

For some reason, after hearing Xiangzi's answer, Wakaba Mu's panicked heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

The girl's confused thoughts gradually became clear.

No matter what, I should stand by her side in the future, right?

At this moment, Mu and Xiangzi would never have thought that they would be thinking of the same white-haired guitarist.

97. The audience following behind happily received a wheelchair

Around two or three in the afternoon, Qing Shui Lin finally found a suitable place for street performances - specifically, it was next to the marble statue outside the mall. And since today was the last day of the weekend, the flow of people near the mall was at its peak during the week.

Such a good opportunity, don’t miss it!

So, as usual, Shimizu Rin rented the audio equipment and effects pedals that suited her.

At this point, it must be mentioned that compared to the girl's previous life when she was in poverty, the convenience brought to Shimizu Rin by the era of the big girl band is not insignificant.

In the past, Shimizu Rin would not have been able to borrow the equipment needed for street performances so easily.

In the past, performers had to carry their own audio equipment and other equipment with them, and even whether they could perform depended on the urban management. They were restricted in every way and had very few performance opportunities.

Perhaps this is why Shimizu Rin takes the performance so seriously?

Moreover, times are different now. Not only can you see many musical instrument stores when walking on the street, but also with Rin's delicate girlish appearance, and carrying such an expensive Santa on her back, she enjoys a lot of conveniences with her innocent and lovely appearance.

Although skills are far more important than appearance for a guitarist, having a unique and beautiful face will always receive a lot of preferential treatment.

It's like this - among the many fans of guitarist Rin, there are quite a few who are fans because of their looks, and surprisingly, there are more female fans among these fans. For example, the enthusiastic fans encountered during a previous performance, their behavior of asking for a hug even scared Rin Shimizu who had just finished playing the guitar.

That's all for this.

Shimizu Rin carried the equipment needed for the street performance and came to the empty space next to the marble statue. She bent down and connected the wires on the equipment.

The girl's actions immediately attracted many passers-by, all of whom were attracted by her white hair that was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

Some pedestrians who were not in a hurry to deal with things even stopped immediately, as if they wanted to see what Qingshui Lin would do next.

"Is she going to perform on the streets? It sounds like it would be fun."

"Since there's nothing to do, why don't we stay and see what kind of performance this lovely girl will give us?"

"Okay, she looks quite professional. Anyone who can perform on the streets must be quite skilled, right?"

"Hmm...why does this girl look familiar? Have I seen her somewhere before?"

Passersby were constantly discussing, and their expectations and curiosity could be vaguely seen in the discussions. However, Shimizu Rin ignored this and continued with the preparations at hand.

This time, she still played a song that had been posted on the "Desperate Guitarist" account and received good responses.
