The subtle illusion and the atmosphere of pure music became more obvious in Lin You's mind.

See this.

Lin You took a deep breath and couldn't help but say:

"...Yuki, turn off the background music."

"Oh."

Yuki Suho, who was following his brother and spying on the strategy scene, jumped out of the bushes and obediently pressed the pause button on his mobile phone.

The moonlight is shallow.

She took small, delicate steps, wearing a thin, slightly caesium-smelling black tank top that revealed a hint of white. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail, and her long, slender, jade-like legs were completely exposed, extending from her shorts, appearing smooth and tender.

Snow-white skin that seems to reflect moonlight.

When Xiangzi looked at the newcomer, he squinted his eyes slightly, looking a little confused. Or rather——

A little weak.

"Yuxi?" Xiangzi was a little surprised.

"Why are you following me so late and not sleeping? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold wearing such thin clothes..."

While Lin You was lecturing, he used a stand-in to get his school uniform jacket and put it on his sister.

In the dim night.

Xiangzi couldn't see clearly, but Youxi felt at ease.

"Sniff~ Brother's scent is so strong~... Oh?"

Yuki pretended to be stupid and hugged the head that was hit by his brother, smiling foolishly, with a cunning look flashing in his slightly narrowed eyes.

Of course she wanted to seduce her brother, she was extremely jealous at all times.

but--

It’s better to stop here while we’re ahead.

"Xiangzi, come on!"

Yuki, not knowing what evil intentions she had, suddenly started cheering Xiangzi on, blinking one eye, acting playfully and cutely, and ran away waving her hands.

Lin You: “…”

Here she comes again, stinky sister, just a poor imitation of Hong Xia!

Lin Youxin said.

On the side, Xiangzi seemed to be thinking about something.

"Yu-kun..."

She bit her lip and spoke, her eyes wavering, her thick, curled eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Xiangzi, you're working too hard."

"Eh?"

"You look so hardworking, is Xiangzi going to confess his love to me?" Lin You said deliberately, sounding a little greasy.

Xiangzi was stunned.

She lowered her head, and her exquisitely braided twin ponytails, which looked noble and elegant, fell slightly. After taking a deep breath, the girl raised her head again.

The amber eyes flickered slightly.

"You-kun, actually... my family went bankrupt because of my father's gambling. After my mother passed away, he went from liking horse racing to gambling. He lost so much money that he even mortgaged this manor. In the end... he lost everything. My father was a son-in-law, so naturally he was kicked out of the family..."

"..."

Lin You nodded slightly.

This is natural.

How could a modern chaebol, or the male head of a large family, fall so easily and end up living in an old and dilapidated rental house in Akabane, drinking all day long?

This is simply the difference between heaven and hell.

If a large family living in a mansion of the level of Kyukogawa Gardens were to go bankrupt to this extent, it would definitely make headlines and even international news!

Even if it didn't make the headlines, people around Xiangzi would definitely have heard the news.

Lin You had already understood the situation of the Toyokawa family in order to purchase the old Furukawa Garden. They had encountered some difficulties at the time. Given the power of the Toyokawa family, they could easily have used some means to invalidate the mortgage used as gambling funds...

It was because they learned that the buyer was Lin You that the Fengchuan family weighed the pros and cons and gave up this action.

Lin You thought: Xiangzi probably doesn't know what kind of energy I represent. Although she is mature, capable, and experienced, she still doesn't understand the adult world very well...

and so.

He is just an ordinary student, but he wants to take responsibility for other people's lives.

"Youjun, I originally wanted to take on the responsibility of taking care of my father, so I kept working part-time... But this alone is not enough... My father has not become the good father he used to be. Sometimes I think it would be better for me to return to the family alone. After all, I am still a child of the Toyokawa family..." Xiangzi continued, his voice choked with sobs.

She is a proud girl.

He always keeps his head down and goes all the way to the end. Even with the CRYCHIC incident, he took all the responsibility on himself without authorization, while arrogantly thinking that his withdrawal from the team wouldn't cause too much harm to his teammates...

In Lin You's opinion, most of the conflicts in this comic world come from not speaking properly.

Especially the music ones.

Music is a delicate thing, and each girl in the band has such a distinct personality.

Therefore, Lin You was quite happy that Xiangzi was willing to take the initiative to expose his wounds and talk about these things.

He looked into her eyes and said, "...What about now? What does Xiangzi think?"

"Yu-kun..."

"what happened?"

"...I still don't want to return to the Toyokawa family in disgrace. How about joining Yu-kun's "family"..."

"What do you mean?"

"Does this need any explanation?" Xiangzi raised his cheek and smiled. "It's a confession."

"..."

She raised her head slightly, her eyes sparkling, perhaps from tears. Her long hair fluttered, obscuring her vision, so she raised her hand and pulled it back, tucking it behind her ear.

A few unruly wisps of hair were scattered around Xiangzi's pretty face. When the cool night breeze blew, they danced with the wind, as if adding color to the roses, adding a touch of messy yet breathtaking beauty...

Lin You was speechless for a moment.

Snapped--

A loud noise that shakes the soul is not just a mental image.

A dazzling light suddenly erupted from the edge of Lin You's vision. He turned around and saw a huge firework blooming in the night sky. The colorful light spread out with a "crackling" sound, then gradually faded away.

Fireworks are banned in Tokyo on weekdays, with some exceptions.

Yuki put her hands on her hips, pointed, and ordered Ayano, Takina, and Chizuka to set off the fireworks in turn.

Brilliant colors reflected the pretty faces. Outside the mansion, Yuki smiled brightly, Chizuka complained that she didn't want to work, and Wakaba Mutsu watched the scene quietly...

Hong Xia in a guest room had not yet fallen asleep. She heard the noise, got up, and quietly looked at the night sky outside the window, her eyes sparkling and her pupils flickering.

"..."

"Yu-kun."

Lin You came back to his senses.

The girl in front of him had moist lips. Xiangzi stood on tiptoe and kissed her.

"..."

"..."

Old Furukawa Garden.

Perhaps at this point, it can also be considered the old Toyokawa Garden.

This garden courtyard was designed by Dr. Josiah Kant in the last century as a fusion of Western and Japanese styles.

The European-style buildings inside include the old Iwasaki residence, the Rokumeikan, and the Nicholas Church. The European-style building at the entrance to the courtyard features dark gray stone walls and white wooden windows, creating an elegant, luxurious, and exquisite atmosphere.

Walking down past the Western-style building, you'll find a Japanese-style garden, shaded by trees and winding paths. Every spring, it's a great spot for cherry blossom viewing. From May to early June, which is right now, the roses in the garden are in full bloom, a truly beautiful sight.

but.

None of these seem to be as beautiful as the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family.

……

The turn of spring and summer.

It was still a little chilly at night, but the lights in the master bedroom of the Old Furukawa Garden were on all night long.

Hong Xia looked at the night sky, tapping the window frame with her fingers, as if secretly following some rhythm, like beating a drum, as if the fireworks display had not yet ended.

An and Subaru stayed up late playing games, with "Avid" and "God knows..." playing in their headphones, thinking about their grandmother and acting...

In Kanazawa Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Goto Ichiri clutched his phone, lost in the exhilarating rhythm of the band's first live performance, playing it on repeat until very late at night...

Kasumigaoka Utaha hasn't fallen asleep yet.

In the high-end hotel rented at public expense in "Gensokyo", after taking a bath, she was wrapped in a white bath towel, her black hair was as fine as silk, her skin was fair, and her figure was plump.

A pair of plump and beautiful legs were particularly smooth, slender like jade, and the crystal jade feet under the buttocks were small and delicate. But on the soft white air-conditioning quilt, a person was sitting, his ten fingers flying.

Da da da--

Da da da--

The serialization speed of "Love Metronome" far exceeded her expectations. In the fifth volume, the rhythm was smooth, the emotions were full, and the protagonist made a firm choice. She almost wrote Sayuka's ending arbitrarily.

"I didn't realize autumn had deepened in my dream, how could my feelings be for anyone else?"

“…The book is finished.”

After typing these last three words, Kasumigaoka Utaha's tense body suddenly relaxed. She collapsed on the spread-out bath towel, letting her soft and tender flesh spread out to both sides.

Stretching her long legs and letting her long hair spread out on the air-conditioned quilt, she took a deep breath.

"call……"

"Next... a harem novel?"

The literary girl's breath drifted in the air.

……

Tonight is especially long.

In a large flat on the top floor of a luxury apartment in Roppongi Hills Residence, Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

Nagasaki Suyo was sleepy and took out her cell phone to check the time.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Before dawn.

Staring at the one-way message on her phone, she rubbed her eyes, thought for a long time, and sent another message to Xiangzi. For some reason, she tossed and turned tonight, finding it particularly difficult to fall asleep...

beep.

The phone vibrated, a special reminder sound. Nagasaki Suye felt that the taut string in her body almost broke directly. She stood up suddenly——

I was surprised to find that all the chat messages I sent to Xiangzi were marked as read.

And a reply came.

Toyokawa Shoko: "It's been a while since we last met, dear friend."
