After all, Lin is someone Xingge favors, and as a good friend, Tian Nai is naturally willing to help them.

After saying that, the hardworking Tana clerk stood up and went to the backstage.

Finding the right speakers and effects left enough space for the two girls in the store.

"Rin, do you really want to perform with me?"

Ruoye Mu vaguely felt that it was unreal.

Why am I going to perform with Rin out of nowhere?

She had fantasized about the two of them going shopping together.

But I never imagined that the life that Shimizu Rin talked about would be nothing more than playing and performing.

"Why else would I bring you here? Do you want to just stand by and cheer me on while I play? It's just for today, so you don't have to feel any pressure."

A duet performance, performed with Mutsu Wakaba who has good guitar skills and cute looks.

This performance will probably earn more money than Rin making on her own, as the band's freshness always brings a dividend.

"But Rin and I haven't rehearsed yet..."

"Don't worry, just play the songs you know when you play later. Besides, we're just performing on the street, so don't be nervous. Even if you don't perform well, no one will notice."

Although Rin wants to perform with Wakaba Mutsu, the scope of their performances is limited to street performances.

Rin is not a casual person.

It is impossible for her to go on the live stage without any preparation or rehearsal. This would be irresponsible to the audience who come to enjoy the performance.

The reason she invited Mu to play with her was simply because she wanted to earn some living expenses.

Given Mu's wealth, all the proceeds from this street performance will probably go into his wallet.

Even if I have to pay for renting musical instruments, the remaining amount is probably not small.

While making a lot of money, you can also have a free dinner.

This is just so rockin'!

"Mu, go and see if there's a guitar that suits you."

When Rin thought about what was going to happen next, she couldn't help but hum.

I can make a small profit today~

22. Heavy rain, plain world, crying?

"Crash..."

Heavy rain poured down, and dark clouds rolled over the sky, blocking out the sunlight in an instant.

The strong wind tore at the dead branches at the top of the trees, the noise stopped abruptly, and raindrops fell like silver arrows, splashing millions of transparent water droplets on the road.

Qing Shui Lin hugged her Santa, with empty eyes, and squatted under the road overpass to avoid the rain.

Glancing sideways, she could see Ruoye Mu leaning on her shoulder in a daze, looking around blankly.

Beside the two of them were placed the audio equipment and effects pedals they rented.

Surrounded by the sound of rain, Qingshui Lin couldn't suppress his depressed mood and lowered his head and sighed softly.

Bad weather always comes at the wrong time.

After renting the equipment, before the two guitar girls started playing, a large dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky and the situation took a turn for the worse.

I checked the weather forecast before going out this morning, but it still rained heavily today.

A heavy rain ruined my musical dream.

Although the rainstorm did not cause any substantial losses to the two, Lin felt extremely heartbroken when he thought that he not only lost the opportunity to make money, but also had to pay for renting equipment.

Fortunately, Qingshui Lin took Wakaba Mu away in time, and the two of them were not wet by a drop of rain.

The equipment was also safe and sound. Otherwise, if the equipment was damaged, the compensation required would be a huge amount, and Shimizu Rin would probably have to sell herself to a musical instrument store.

Since it's raining, today's street performance plan has to be cancelled.

No one wants to perform in the rain, right?

As for Wakaba Mutsu beside her, Qingshui Rin could only say sorry to her.

"Mu, I'm sorry, I can't perform today." Shimizu Rin said helplessly.

"It's fine......"

Mu shook his head slightly, but there was still a hint of loss in his tone.

She was dressed a little lightly today, wearing only a casual blue and green plaid long skirt, revealing her fair neck without reservation.

The cold wind from the rainstorm blew into her sleeves, causing her body to shiver uncontrollably. She had no choice but to move closer to Qing Shui Lin to drive away the coldness from her body.

"Bring Mu out to play next time you have the chance."

"Well... we have an appointment. Let's..."

Lin's simple promise unexpectedly drove away the loss in Mu's eyes, and her mood returned to normal.

Right.

Even though it's a shame that I can't perform with Rin this time, I still have a lot of time with Rin.

There will be many opportunities to perform together in the future.

"We can't go on like this. It's raining so hard now, and we don't know when it will stop. We can't keep waiting here."

Lin patted Mu's head gently, calling back her drifting soul, and discussed what to do next.

"It's raining so hard today, it's very troublesome even if we want to go somewhere else now... Let's go home. At least we don't have to freeze under this overpass. Mu, do you have any objections?"

Lin glanced at the city outside the overpass. The accumulated water on the roadside had already overflowed from the sewers. The overflowing rainwater gathered into a river, all flowing towards the low-lying areas of the city.

After all, Tokyo is a big place, and its plumbing system is quite developed, so low houses or roadside vehicles will not be flooded by the endless rain.

"...I have no objection."

Mu did not object. It was raining so heavily now that her family had already called her several times to ask about her situation.

It seems I have to go back.

After a brief discussion, they decided to have the Ruoye family's housekeeper drive to the underpass to pick up Mu.

By the way, he asked Mu to return the rented equipment to Ochanomizu to avoid having to make another trip.

As for herself, she asked Mu to ask the housekeeper to bring an umbrella when he drove over so that she could walk home by herself.

Moreover, in order to prevent her Santa from getting wet by the heavy rain on the road, Qingshui Lin simply asked Mu to take it away, and she would ask Mu to get it back when she went to school tomorrow.

People can get wet, but guitars can’t!

"Rin, don't you want to go back with me? The housekeeper can take Rin home..."

Wakaba Mu worriedly grabbed Rin's sleeve and refused to let go.

It’s raining so hard, what if Lin gets into danger when he walks back?

Mu didn't say it out loud, but Rin read her meaning in her eyes.

But Lin still refused:

"No, my house is very close to here. I can get there by walking through the park behind. Driving would mean I have to go around in a big circle. It's too troublesome to go back and forth."

This is a lie.

Although Rin claimed that she was not a squeamish person and that there was no need for someone to drive her for such a short distance, there was another reason for this:

She didn't want anyone from Group C to know the location of her home, including Mu, to prevent them from chasing her home and opening the box.

"That's...okay."

Mu knew that Lin was not a girl who would easily change her decision, and even if he persuaded her, it would not have much effect.

In the end, Mu had no choice but to obey Lin's decision and silently closed his thin lips.

Since the result cannot be changed, then... please let time last a little longer.

It's much more pleasant to be with Rin than to stay in a cold house.

Time passes minute by minute.

soon.

The housekeeper of the Wakaba family drove to the underpass and brought an expensive brand-name umbrella.

"Goodbye, Rin..."

"Yeah, let's go quickly. It's not like we won't see each other again. Besides, don't we have Line? We can still contact each other after we get home."

Qing Shuilin stood on the edge of the overpass holding an umbrella.

She calmly watched the Ruoye family's car drive away from the area until it disappeared at the end of the road.

After seeing off Ruoye Mu, Qingshui Lin suddenly felt lighter all over, and the air under the heavy rain was no longer so depressing.

It's time for her to go home.

"Go home and finish writing the new song. I have to release the next video as soon as possible. I can't let the internet forget about me, a popular guitarist."

Lin withdrew his gaze, then held up his umbrella and walked quickly towards the park behind the overpass.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

The rain is still falling.

It was inevitable that his legs would get wet by the heavy rain, and the wet feeling made Lin very uncomfortable.

All she wanted now was to get home as soon as possible, take a comfortable shower, and change into clean clothes.

But......

Can it really be that easy?

Lin walked quickly into the park and was about to take a shortcut home when suddenly, her attention was inexplicably attracted by a small black dot not far away.

"what is that?"

The damn curiosity popped up in his head again, driving Qingshui Lin to take a few steps closer to the black spot, wanting to see the true face of the black spot.

As the field of vision narrowed, the outline of a human appeared clearly in Lin's eyes.

It was obvious that the black spot in his sight just now was the human standing in the rainstorm.

Without an umbrella or shelter from the rain, he just lowered his head and silently welcomed the heavy rain.

"What a strange person." Qing Shui Lin complained silently in his heart.

Suddenly, a familiar brown color came into her sight.

"and many more......"

Rin stopped abruptly.

For some reason, when seeing this brown color, Qing Shui Lin felt that this strange man had a sense of familiarity.

She seemed to know this man.

The rainstorm was so violent that huge raindrops fell one after another, blocking the view.

Even though the two were only a few dozen meters apart, Qing Shui Lin still couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

In order to verify whether the other person was someone he knew, Lin had to go over and verify it in person.

"Why don't we go over and take a look? Even if they're not acquaintances, it's easy for something to happen in the rain. It would be terrible if someone died."

Qing Shuilin thought so, and then she carefully approached the back of the figure.

As the distance between the two gradually decreased.

A faint cry came into my ears, mixed with the noisy sound of raindrops, and seemed extremely weak.

"Woooooooo..."

The crying should have been louder, but due to the interference of the rain, it seemed no different from ordinary sobbing and was intermittent.

Such crying is actually heartbreaking.
