People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

He raised his eyes and looked at Aoki Jie.

Kita hesitated again for a moment, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end, no sound came out.

Kita has always believed that music is an art that resonates with the human soul.

In the band, she is the only one who knows the family background of the senior.

And now this music...

Chapter 160 So, the girl made a hesitant decision

Aokisuke didn't notice anything strange about Kita at this time.

Without saying anything, he waited quietly for Hongxia and the others to finish reading the complete music score and lyrics.

It was not until about half a minute later, when he was sure that everyone had finished reading the music score, that Aokisuke spoke again.

"There are still three weeks left, which is probably enough time to practice. There's no problem on my end."

He spoke, first explaining his own situation, then paused and asked the girls, "What are you busy with? This submission project isn't very important, so if you don't like it or have other things that will delay it, it's okay not to participate."

"I'm fine." Liang shook his head.

"I don't have anything else to do here." Hong Xia responded.

"I, I, I have plenty of time..." Pochi-chan spoke with a slightly halting voice.

Kita hesitated for a moment, looked down at the lyrics again, and then looked up at Aokisuke.

After a few seconds of silence, she nodded slightly.

"I'm fine too."

......

Several girls had no objection and finally decided to participate.

Hongxia is responsible for electronic drums, Liang is responsible for bass, Pochi-chan is responsible for melody guitar, and Kita is responsible for harmony guitar.

Aoki Suke is the keyboardist and lead vocalist.

There are exactly three weeks and twenty-one days left until the last selection of KL Club.

It's not extremely urgent, but it's definitely not plenty of time.

After confirming with everyone in the band, since everyone was there, we started practicing that afternoon.

Familiarize yourself with music scores, solo performances, and try out ensemble exercises...

After more than half a month, the band ended and started practicing for new music again.

Because he had the music score of "I Once Thought About Ending It All" in his mind, Aoki could almost tell when the band members made mistakes in their performance.

While correcting a few people, he was also working on his coordination with the band. He continued practicing like this until eight o'clock in the evening.

It wasn't too early yet, so people started to go home one after another.

Ryo planned to stay for a while longer, but Pochi-chan left first.

Aokisuke and Kita were going the same way, so they walked together.

......

After late autumn, the nights have become longer and the days shorter.

It's around eight o'clock. Even in summer, it's pitch black outside at this time, let alone now.

Under the influence of street lights and neon lights from roadside shops, Kita and I walked slowly to the station.

There was no talking during the whole journey.

Then we bumped around on the tram for about ten minutes before exiting the platform.

It's still on the way, but this section of the road is different from the one in Shimokitazawa - there are only street lights left, and very few neon lights from shops.

There is less bustling atmosphere, but more tranquility.

How do you define tranquility? A lack of noise? Or does it have to be in the countryside to experience it?

Walking slowly, Aoki Jie's mind was full of random thoughts.

Until at some point, my thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Kita——

The girl hesitated slightly before speaking.

She knew what she wanted to say, but because of this, Kita hesitated whether to say it out loud.

Whether it was when they first met or now, after being together for nearly half a year, Senior Jie has never had the idea of ​​revealing his stress or his past life to others.

But Kita knew a little bit—

Hiding his stress, he quit his job, joined the band, and tried his best to win.

Koukouzhong told the band members: "Happiness is the most important thing, don't always think about the results."

I don't want to talk about my past life and have never talked about how my life was.

But a month ago, he negotiated with his mother by rubbing salt into the wound.

And until now, I once again took out this song "I once thought about ending it all"...

Kita wanted to tell Aokisuke, "The band is a whole, and sometimes you don't have to bear many things alone."

I want to say, 'Some things, it doesn't matter if you hide them, it doesn't matter if you don't mention them.'

But if I say these things - is that me personally mentioning the past of my predecessor?

The moment he opened his mouth, Kita's voice froze in his throat again.

'I want to say something', this thought is extremely strong at this moment.

But what should I say?

The two of them were half a body length apart, with the girl slightly lagging behind by half a step.

Under the street light, Aoki Jie's profile was extremely clear under the light.

When Kita recalled what Senior Jie had said and the lyrics he had just read, he suddenly felt an impulse in his heart.

There is only a short distance left to reach home.

Behind Aoki Jie, after hesitating, the girl gently raised her hand.

Just like the scene she had imagined before, she used all her strength, but very gently grabbed Aokisuke's right hand.

"Um, um, Jie-senpai." Kita paused and spoke, "Sometimes, it's okay to rely on me... or, or everyone who ended the band."

......

Suddenly, I felt a delicate touch in the palm of my hand.

The girl's voice in my ear suddenly interrupted my wandering thoughts.

After a moment of hesitation, Aokisuke suddenly stopped moving forward because of Kita's sudden action.

Looking back, he looked at the girl beside him.

Perhaps she was nervous because of the actions she was doing—

Aoki Jie could clearly feel that the little hand holding his right hand was trembling slightly.

Aokisuke could clearly see that Kita was not looking at him at this time, but was looking down at the ground with his eyes.

He took a deep breath and looked at the girl beside him, silent for a moment.

The evening breeze blew gently.

Aoki Ke's emotional intelligence may not be high, but the fact that he can get the first place in the grade just by self-study is enough to prove that he is not stupid.

He knew that Kita knew part of his life experience.

Through daily communication and observation, he could also tell that Kita had somehow learned that he had resigned from his job to join the band and take a gamble.

And because of all this, Kita would develop some "guilt" in his heart, which Aokisuke thought was completely unfounded.

Be it his life, his choices, his persistence...all of these have nothing to do with ending the band.

Aoki could take the responsibility of ending the band on himself, but he couldn't put the blame on each member of the band to end it.

Tonight, maybe it was because of the lyrics, or maybe it was because of some other reason, anyway - probably after hesitating, she made up her mind, and Kita chose to try to share with me the responsibility that did not belong to her at all.

Aokisuke understood.

But as he once said - he didn't want to bring pressure that didn't belong to the band to the girls in the band.

so.......

Under the street light, Kita Ikuyo lowered her eyes and her face was a little unclear.

He gently squeezed the girl's hand, then let go the next moment.

The delicate touch in the palm of my hand disappeared, and Kita in front of me raised his eyes slightly.

Aokijie smiled lightly and then spoke.

"There's no need to rely on others, but if it's really necessary, I'll do as you say, Kita."

If I put it that way, Kita probably won’t say anything else—he thought.

then,

The girl in front of him shook her head vigorously.

After looking up, the light reflected on her face.

"But, but! I don't want you to continue to be like this..."

Kita's eyes were filled with seriousness, but there was a hint of hesitation in his voice.

Chapter 161 Sentimental November

There weren't too many pedestrians passing by, but there were some.

Occasionally a car passed by, and the sound of wind passed by Aokisuke's ears.

At this time, mixed with the noise of the autumn wind blowing the leaves, it seems a bit noisy.

......

in front of you.

The girl's eyes were extremely clear, and Kita's words, "I don't want to be alone like this anymore," rang in her ears.

Aokisuke opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time.

I wanted to say something in response, but in the end, I remained silent.

He really didn't expect that Kita in front of him would say this.

He thought that Kita would hesitate and then nod, and he thought that Kita would remain silent, but no matter what, Aokisuke never expected that Kita would say these words to him in such a serious yet hesitant tone.

At this moment, Aoki Jie had no idea what the other party was thinking.

But these words, which were almost like a confession, made his thoughts somewhat confused at this moment.

In the palm of my hand, the delicate touch of the last second seemed to have not disappeared, and my heartbeat speeded up slightly for a moment.

"I want to share the responsibility with Senior Jie."

"I don't want to leave Jie-senpai alone anymore."

The trainee guitarist who had once run away from the band because he was afraid of responsibility, now said these words to himself.

For a moment, Aoki Jie even had the thought of "just nod and agree" in his heart.

But after hesitation and silence, he suppressed the thought in his heart.

Responsibilities—

From the very beginning, the band had no obligation to take responsibility for its own actions, and Aokisuke had no intention of letting others pay for their actions.

He could take action to get the band back on track, but he couldn't bear to see the others feel pressured for their own reasons.
