People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

But just as he closed his eyes, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Senior Jie, can I sit next to you?"

Kita spoke.

Aokisuke opened his eyes and looked at Kita, who was sitting next to him and speaking in a low voice.

He nodded slightly and hummed softly.

He didn't say anything else and closed his eyes again.

He had previously thought about how to face Kita and how to handle the relationship between them.

But at the moment, Aoki Jie obviously hasn't figured out how to start speaking.

There was some noise backstage. After I closed my eyes for a while, I began to hear the song of a third musician.

Still didn't care too much.

Then, accompanied by this third piece of music, Kita beside him spoke.

There was a hint of hesitation in the girl's voice, but also a very obvious firmness.

It was the question that was never asked three weeks ago.

At this moment, just a few steps away from going on stage to sing, the girl opened her mouth and asked this question:

"Suke-senpai, if you sing this music...won't it affect your emotions?"

Kita looked at Aokisuke's profile and spoke, his voice still very soft.

Beside him, Aoki Jie was slightly stunned.

He opened his eyes again and looked at the girl beside him, meeting her gaze.

......

From three weeks ago to now, Aokisuke is very clear that the way he and Kita get along has obviously changed.

The closer the deadline for submissions got, the less communication there was between the two.

Until yesterday, the two of them hadn't spoken a word to each other the entire day.

Even if their eyes met, Kita would quickly look away.

Aoki Jie understood why the relationship between the two gradually evolved into this way.

When he had to make a choice in the end, he didn't have much time to hesitate.

The third musician's performance ended, and the next person to come on stage was Takashi Imai.

Aokisuke took a deep breath, looked at Kita beside him, was silent for a few seconds, and then gave a response.

It wasn't a response of just a few words like before, nor was it a no-answer, avoidance of the topic like three weeks ago.

The answer to the question of 'will it have an impact on him' is undeniable.

“Music is something that people can relate to, so it definitely will.”

The song "I Once Thought About Ending It All" is undoubtedly a masterpiece.

He really resonated with the music.

Life after rebirth is definitely not easy from beginning to end.

Study hard and get admitted to the University of Tokyo.

It is easy to write these eight words, but carrying them out as a life goal exhausted almost all of Aoki's energy in the first half of his life.

Of course he thought about it - "Why should I suffer like this when I had a happy life in my previous life?"

A long time ago, he also thought about ending his life one day.

Including my later muddle-headed studies, working like a puppet.

Such a life is really boring and depressing to the extreme.

But Aokisuke didn't choose to end it all in the end.

the reason is simple--

Getting into the University of Tokyo could change his life, and he didn't want the suffering he had endured to go unresolved. Aoki Jie was unwilling to accept this.

So he persevered.

And this music...

This song "I Once Thought of Ending It All"...

For Aoki Suke, this is definitely the piece of music that resonates with him the most.

But, just as Pochi-chan said that day—

'People always have to look forward.'

......

Aokisuke looked at Kita who was sitting next to him, and after he spoke, he was silent for a moment.

The sound of Imai Takashi singing began to reach my ears.

There is no doubt that Takashi Imai's music theory level is incredibly high, and the music he created in this call for submissions is definitely at the top level.

In about five minutes, it was the closing band's turn to take the stage.

After a moment of silence, Aoki stood up.

He didn't know how to explain his thoughts to Kita right now, but he had to face it.

Kita may also be hesitant in her heart and struggling with how to deal with this relationship.

The performance may be affected by these emotions.

But no matter what, we always have to keep moving forward...

When Kita saw Aokisuke stand up, he stood up as well.

She probably wanted to say something, so she opened her mouth.

But before she could finish her voice, Aokijie spoke first.

"But whether it's resonating with others or reminiscing about the past, it's normal. But in the end, people always have to look forward."

"If you keep being indecisive, you will definitely fail."

Aoki Jie said as if he was talking to himself.

Then, the voice paused for a moment, and he opened his mouth again.

Yes, indecision is not desirable.

So no matter what I will say in the end, no matter whether this performance will be successful or not, just after this performance, just after this performance, tell Kita what I think.

He opened his mouth and wanted to tell Kita that he wanted to say something to her after the performance.

But now, it was Aokisuke's turn to be interrupted.

I could hear that Takashi Imai's performance was probably coming to an end.

In addition to the judges, some prestigious celebrities in the animation industry were also selected to participate in the discussion.

At this moment, one could already hear most people cheering for Imai Takashi.

The cheers were drowned out by the sound of laughter.

The girl's voice was soft, and she spoke, before Aokisuke did.

"Senior Jie, let's play together!"

She looked at Aokisuke, and there was only tenderness in her voice.

"Then... after the performance... I have something very important... to tell you!"

"..."

Aoki's voice was choked in his throat.

He looked at Kita in front of him, listened to what the other party said, and suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Kita may also be hesitant in her heart and struggling with how to deal with this relationship.

But she spoke first.

Everything around me seemed to be quiet for a moment.

All that could be heard now was Kita's clear breathing.

Whether it's a change of address, a little closer, making lunch boxes for yourself, sharing your life, or a vague confession...

From the beginning to the end, the girl was trying hard, carefully, to get closer to herself little by little.

Until now.

Three weeks ago, after I responded, the girl's cautiousness and forced smile...

Aoki didn't know how to respond.

The distance between the two was not too close, but looking at the girl's extremely delicate eyes that were reflecting the sparkling light right in front of him, Aoki Jie suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

[Ding, it's detected that the host's keyboard skills have been upgraded after practice: Master-level keyboard skills - transcendent keyboard skills]

"Ah."

Aoki Jie didn't pay too much attention to the system prompt sound.

He nodded and hummed softly.

......

“It seems obvious who to choose…”

"It's hard to say, there are still several people behind...but I feel there is a high probability..."

"After Imai-sensei, there won't be any outstanding performances from musicians..."

After the judging, some senior practitioners in the animation industry had a brief exchange of ideas.

Backstage, after Imai Takashi finished singing, a clear announcement came.

[Next group, please. End of band, please come on stage.]

On the stage, the host gave a brief introduction to the judges.

"The next song is the ending song for the band, and the title is..."

The song title is very long and a bit strange. When the host was reading it, he got stuck for a moment.

But he quickly adjusted himself: "The song's title is: 'I Once Thought of Ending It All.'"
