After Boqi moved into my closet, the quiet life is gone forever

As expected, Li Xi refuted it.

"Do you want to play professionally?"

395. If we say it’s a lifetime, it’s a lifetime!

"Huh? What are you talking about again? Are you crazy?"

Li Xi had an expression on her face that said, "You're crazy." She was still so direct to everyone except Gao Songdeng, even to Chaoyang who was doing the right thing to help them.

"I'm currently running an entertainment agency and would like to sign you guys. Of course, since you're still only high school students, even if you sign me, things won't change much for now. I'll just arrange various activities and performances for you during your vacations. Of course, if you want to give up your studies and focus on rock music, that's fine too. I'll have the company fully train you in that situation, but I don't recommend it."

Chaoyang thought again of the Ci group he had met before. All five of them dropped out of school to make music, which was more or less a bit extreme.

At least in the eyes of normal people, playing rock music and going to school are not mutually exclusive. For example, Chaoyang [Why did you have to drop out of school? What's the point of wasting those 2,3 or years?]

Although he thought so in his heart, Chaoyang chose to respect and give others the right to choose.

"Idiot! How could you possibly agree to that?"

The one who scolded Chaoyang was not Li Xi, but Aiyin, who was always the most talkative. She immediately stood up and refused angrily.

For Li Xi, the proposal of dropping out of school to devote himself to music was actually quite tempting.

She had originally planned to make a living from music in the future, and she didn't mind dropping out of high school. She often skipped classes to compose music for Mygo, and when she went there, it was just a place to catch up on sleep, so going to school didn't mean much to her, except...

Li Xi looked at Gao Songdeng and gritted his teeth.

"Humph, stop talking nonsense. How could I possibly drop out of school?"

Hearing Li Xi, who was most likely to drop out of school, say this, Chaoyang also nodded with a smile.

"That's good. If you really plan to do this, it's giving me a headache. But I still hope you can sign the contract. Firstly, I can help you with the expenses of your band activities. Secondly, you want to play in a band together for life, right? If you don't pursue a professional career in music, you may not have the energy to run a band like this once you enter society. Of course, this is based on the premise that you are serious about forming a band for life, so you are serious..."

"Just keep your stupid questions to yourself and don't use them to tarnish us. Of course, I want to be in a band with Tomori for life!"

Li Xi answered without hesitation, leaving no room for himself.

Aiyin, on the other hand, had a frown on her face.

"So, you're serious about the promise you made back then? Haha, I really can't help you, but you must finish high school well, okay? If you have the opportunity to go on to higher education, you must continue, okay?"

Aine looked around and fixed her gaze on Riki and Takamatsu Touma.

Don't worry, Soyo, but I'm always worried that Riki will impulsively take Tomori with him and do something stupid. What's Chaoyang talking about when he's talking about a career... But if they really want to play in a band for the rest of their lives, it seems like a commercial path would be the right path. You can't just work and play in a band at the same time, right? The thought makes me tired. Only Soyo-san could possibly play in a band without working... eh? As for me... if I were with Chaoyang, would I not have to work? ... Stupid, how could you think like that? How could you think like a gold digger or a useless person?

Even in her own mind, Aine would criticize herself for any slightly out-of-line thoughts and reflect on them, but looking at someone else...

------------

"Aqiu"

At this moment, Pochi-chan, who was far away in another world, sneezed, wiped her nose, and looked a little confused.

"Pochi-chan, are you cold? Is the air conditioner too cold? I'll go adjust the temperature."

The others in the studio became concerned about Pochi.

"Ah... No, it's okay. I just sneezed suddenly, that's all. I'm fine."

"Hmm, maybe Chaoyang was talking about Pochi's big breasts behind her back."

Liang spoke ill of Chaoyang expressionlessly.

With the approval of Hong Xia,

“Ah… That guy is indeed a possibility. Speaking of which, Miss Aine has been away for a few days now, right… Why hasn’t Chaoyang come back here yet?”

After saying that, Hong Xia started beating the drums in dissatisfaction, slightly venting her inner depression.

"Ijichi-senpai, maybe Chaoyang is in some trouble. Didn't he and senpai get into a lot of trouble the last time we went to the other world together?"

"No... My intuition tells me that's not the case. It's probably a woman."

Hongxia picked up the drumsticks and pointed them at Xiduo. Even though she was dragged into the cave by Chaoyang and beaten wildly, she still had an unrealistic filter for Chaoyang.

Although it was he who lost his memory and killed Chaoyang once, which angered him.

"Xiao Xiduo, you were the one who suffered the most from him, yet you still have such a good impression of him... Thinking back to when he and I traveled alone, but... well, forget it, let's not talk about it.

Hongxia blushed when she thought of the past and couldn't say anything.

“I don’t know how Aine-san is doing.”

---------

"Why did you suddenly want to run an office? On a whim?"

When Aiyin was thinking about her future, she casually asked about Chaoyang.

Should I tell them about Xiangzi? After all, I haven't gotten over it yet, so I'd better not tell them. I'll let them resolve it naturally when they meet again.

"Haha, as a rich second-generation, is it strange for me to act on a whim? I could be an idol today and sell buns on the street tomorrow."

"That's too suspicious, and obviously a lie... Forget it, there's no point in pressing you. Just wait until you want to talk. So, do you think it's necessary to join the agency now? Or should we continue as an amateur independent rock band?"

After Li Xi, the real backbone of the band, hesitated, Aiyin also couldn't make up her mind and directly helped everyone summarize two options.

"Let me make it clear that at this stage, you guys won't be getting paid. The company will only cover your training expenses and any related expenses for releasing an album."

"You should join after all?"

After hearing this, Li Xi became eager to try it out. For her, embarking on a professional path was just a matter of time.

"Riki said so...it's true that this can save a lot of money."

They had no expectation of making money from signing the contract from the beginning.

"Then let's talk about it next time."

Chaoyang waved his hand, giving them time to think.

…………

After mygo practice in the evening, everyone went home. Chaoyang had to go to the office to handle various work, so he left halfway.

"Is it possible that I'm really going to pursue a career in music? I didn't expect so much to happen from a story that started with me accompanying a classmate to the orchestra club."

On the way home, Su Shi thought about her experiences from the beginning of Group C to now. Although she felt bitter inside, she felt warm from time to time.

As she was reminiscing, she had unknowingly walked back to the luxury apartment.

I waited for the elevator to arrive as usual, then walked in.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, Su Shi heard hurried footsteps.

Gentle and subconscious, she pressed the elevator button to open the door again.

"Ah, thank you..."

Words of thanks were heard from outside the elevator, and the voice was very familiar.

At this moment, Su Shi was stunned.

His mouth seemed to shout out the other person's name uncontrollably.

"Saki-chan!?"

396. Confession

"……Well……"

When Xiangzi saw that it was Su Shi in the elevator, he immediately frowned, gritted his teeth, and finally did not turn around and leave.

Instead, he regained his normal expression and walked in, closing his eyes, pretending not to see Su Shi.

"Saki-chan... could it be that..."

Su Shi immediately guessed that Xiangzi definitely did not come here to find her, so there was only one answer.

But Xiangzi continued to ignore Su Shi, closed his eyes and said nothing.

"...I've thought a lot since then. I've given up on the idea of ​​reviving crychic, but...I still want to tell you that that time is one of my best memories to this day... No matter what, thank you, skki-chan. I'm so sorry. I still don't know what happened to you, and I can't share your burden. I also said those things before without permission, and I made promises without knowing anything."

Su Shi just kept her head down and kept talking, not caring whether Xiangzi was listening or not, she just wanted to tell everything.

Xiangzi remained indifferent. The elevator had unknowingly reached the top floor. The elevator door slowly opened and Xiangzi walked out without hesitation.

Just when Su Shi thought Xiangzi was about to leave, she planned to wait until Xiangzi entered Chaoyang's house and then walked out of the elevator.

“…Haha…”

Unexpectedly, Xiangzi sighed, turned to face Su Shi and said lightly.

"Would you like to have a cup of tea together?"

"Hey... can I?"

…………

"Welcome back, miss... Are there any guests today? Isn't this Miss Nagasaki? Long time no see."

As soon as Ayase heard the door open, she slowly walked over and respectfully welcomed Xiangzi home. When she stood up and saw Suze again, she bowed again.

"Ah? So the maid lives here too?" Su Shi immediately imagined the scene of Chaoyang hugging women at night, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "...that bastard..."

[Even in this state, he still dares to actively pursue me... He really is a scumbag. Luckily, we didn't have anything real... Ugh, I already kissed him... Damn... scumbag.]

"Hey... the master has already moved out of the Toyokawa family, and..."

"Don't talk about irrelevant topics, Ayase. Pour the tea."

Xiangzi, who had changed into slippers, interrupted Ayase's words and handed her the shoulder bag, asking her to put it away and make tea.

"Yes."

After that, Xiangzi walked straight to the sofa, and Su Shi quickly changed into the slippers that Ayase had just prepared, and walked to the sofa opposite Xiangzi and sat down.

My heart beat faster involuntarily, and I didn't know what Xiangzi wanted to say to me.

The two of them remained silent until Ayase brewed some black tea and brought it over.

Xiangzi gracefully picked up the cup, took a sip, and closed his eyes to savor the drink.

“It’s really delicious~~~”

"Ah...ah...hmm,"

When Su Shi heard Yu Xiangzi's surprised expression when he said it tasted good, there was no sign of exaggeration or affectation on his face.

【Is it really that delicious? 】

Su Shi also picked up the cup and took a sip.

[It tastes good, but it’s just ordinary Earl Grey tea…]

"Are you wondering if I'm making too much of a fuss?"

"Ah!? H-How could that be? No, that's not the case... It really is delicious."

"Soyo-san, you're joking. To you, this is just an ordinary cup of Earl Grey tea, right?"

"..."

Su Shi still didn't understand what Xiangzi wanted to say, but she was very happy in her heart. She didn't know how long it had been since she had a drink of tea with Xiangzi.

"...from the time crychic quit until the year after...most of the drinks I could drink were tap water from my own tap, you know?"

"!?"

Upon hearing this, Su Shi was shocked. This was news she had never heard before.

"Why is this happening? Bankruptcy? But the Toyokawa family isn't bankrupt. Chaoyang doesn't look like they're broke. And now they've just casually bought a house in this area."

"...I won't tell you too much. Seeing your shocked expression, it seems Chaoyang didn't reveal anything about my situation. In short, I've already technically left the Toyokawa family and have no ties to them. My father even owes a lot of money because of it."

Although Xiangzi intended to tell Su Shi the truth, she still selectively concealed many things. After all, she could not completely give up her face.

"Don't ask why, just know the result."

"...Then there's no need to quit crychic... obviously..."

"Do you really think that in that situation, I still have the energy to form a band with you guys like before?"

"..."
