People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

I subconsciously think from my friends' perspective, care about other people's feelings, and notice details that others don't notice...

Hongxia is really too gentle and considerate.

Looking at the yellow-haired girl in front of him, Qing Mujie felt a little emotional in his heart, and then shook his head slightly.

"I still have a clear distinction between playing in a band and important things, so joining the end of the band certainly won't have any impact."

It was also for this reason that Aoki Jie decisively did not tell Yu Hongxia about his pressure.

The girl's dream is to become famous with her bandmates. To achieve this dream, she even imposes the dreams of all the band members on herself.

In the eyes of this girl with a strong sense of responsibility, no matter how important her own dream is, she needs to help everyone in the team realize their dream first before she can expect everyone to work towards their own dream together.

So, in fact, although the girl in front of me has a gentle smile on her face most of the time, deep down, she has a lot of pressure that she imposes on herself.

Considering this, Aokisuke took a deep breath.

He opened the wallet that Hong Xia had just handed him and took out two banknotes from the wallet. Without waiting for Hong Xia's response, he paused for a moment before continuing,

"How about orange flavor? I see there are quite a few flavors of soda in this vending machine..."

The topic jumped a bit, and Hong Xia was stunned for a moment.

Then she responded, "Huh?... Well, thank you, Aoki-senpai."

Without saying a word, Aokisuke stuffed two banknotes into the vending machine and ordered two bottles of fruit soda.

After handing it to Hong Xia, he spoke again,

"You have to keep a clear distinction between real life and band life. Once you've made that distinction, all you have to do is train hard and work hard towards your dreams. There's no need to impose the pressures of real life on your band life."

Pulling the ring of the soda, the voice paused, and Aokisuke continued,

"Sometimes thinking too much can actually have a negative impact on yourself, and...as a band, as long as we're happy together, that's all that matters."

He tilted his head back and gulped down a big gulp of soda, then turned his gaze back to Hong Xia's face.

These words seem somewhat false and empty, especially coming from my own mouth.

Now that he has joined a band and chosen to make money through music, the saying "As long as everyone is happy together as a band, that's all that matters" is definitely not applicable to him now.

Aoki's primary goal is performance and making money.

Although he also hopes that "being happy together is the most important thing", if he doesn't care about his grades, he will definitely eat grass in the next two months.

but......

Even so, just as Aokisuke thought at the beginning, he did not want to impose his pressure on others.

So Aokisuke spoke.

Rather than letting this gentle and lovely girl in front of him share the pressure with him, he hoped that Hong Xia could play in the band happily.

Holding the orange soda in both hands, Hongxia blinked as she listened to what Aoki Jie said.

After a moment of silence, she nodded and replied,

"Thank you, Aoki-senpai. I understand."

It's impossible to change a person's mind with just a few words, and Aokijie doesn't expect his preaching to make Hongxia decisively let go of the pressure of her "teammate's dream."

The vending machine lit up with neon lights of different colors, reflecting on Hongxia's face.

Looking at the girl in front of him, he nodded and said,

"Then I'll go home first. Ijichi-kun should go home early as well."

Chapter 26: Ms. Kita Ikuyo Suddenly Kita (Part )

After joining the band, Aokisuke's life became noticeably more relaxed.

You no longer need to spend a lot of time working every day, and most of your time can be used for free arrangement.

The price may come in two months, but Aokisuke doesn't care. Aokisuke chooses to enjoy the present.

The beauty of life lies in enjoying every moment of the present, not in the pursuit of endless wealth and power - Rabindranath Tagore.

On June 3rd, several days had passed since they decided to join the Ending Band, and the level of the girls in the Ending Band was steadily improving.

It is worth mentioning that a few days ago before returning from [STARRY], Ijichi Hoshige rejected Hongxia's request to perform on stage again at [STARRY], and proposed that if they wanted to perform on stage, the band must pass the on-site review in person by the weekend store manager.

Because the gap in their skills was still quite large, Aoki Jie declined the band members' request to participate in the review and to perform live on stage after they passed the review, saying that "we still need to work together a little longer before we can form a team together."

Anyway, the band's training atmosphere suddenly became tense because of the upcoming review.

But now is not the time to think about these things——

Enjoying the soreness in his thigh muscles caused by climbing the long slope of Shuka High School, Aoki Jiedi ran into Hikigaya Hachiman at the school gate countless times.

"Good morning." Aoki Jie raised his hand and greeted him as he hadn't been working late in recent days and was in good spirits.

He didn't know when it started, but Hikigaya Hachiman had gotten used to being greeted every morning. Rubbing his eyes, he replied somewhat feebly.

"Ah... Good morning..."

Habits are really scary. They can turn Hachiman Hikigaya, a man who hates the present life, into this.

But to be honest, Aokisuke is not really a real person. Except for the fact that he has spent a lot of time training with the band after school in recent days, his daily behavior is more like that of an autistic weirdo like Hikigaya Hachiman.

Apart from not having dead fish eyes, he is more pleasing to the eye than Hikigaya Hachiman.

After a simple greeting, neither of them spoke any further.

After walking through the school gate and into the teaching building with his schoolbag on his back, Aoki Jie suddenly started talking naturally.

"How was your test yesterday? Were you confident?"

"Confidence? Probably all aspects are gone except for Mandarin."

Hikigaya spoke up in response.

He definitely didn't dislike this queen who sometimes suddenly became familiar with him - Aokisuke had a good sense of social propriety, and when he occasionally chatted with him, he would only talk briefly and never be annoying.

I'm not as superficial as some of the male classmates in the class who only talk about breasts or panties, or those male celebrities who are proud of the number of relationships they have had.

You can have a quick discussion with yourself about The Great Gatsby, or respond to a few questions about anime or light novels...

By the way, Aokisuke didn't want to have too much interaction with Hikigaya Hachiman at first, but a few days ago, Hikigaya suddenly invited him to dinner at noon, and by chance, the two of them became a little more familiar with each other.

Incidentally, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly wanted to treat Aokisuke to a meal because he didn't respond to Aokisuke's goodbye after school the day before...

All in all, the current relationship between the two can probably be described as friends who get along a little strangely.

The topic of test scores ended with Hikigaya's answer. He was not very interested in Aokisuke's results, so he did not ask back.

Yawning, I walked down the stairs of the teaching building to the second floor, pushed the door into the classroom, returned to my seat, put my schoolbag away, and Hikigaya spoke again.

"Speaking of which, there's going to be a sequel to '00 Spring Day'."

"Yeah." Aokisuke put away his guitar bag and sat back in his seat. He didn't look up at Hikigaya, but just nodded to himself.

“I’m quite looking forward to the new plot.”

"Hmm..." Aoki Jie didn't find the math textbook on his seat at the first time. He rummaged through his schoolbag with a puzzled look on his face while continuing to nod.

I remember that the math textbook was indeed placed in my schoolbag after I finished using it last night. No matter what, it can't have just disappeared out of thin air...

"What do you think of the new work?" Hikigaya, who was sitting in the front, turned around and saw Aoki Suke who was looking for a math textbook.

The math textbook was stuck between the Chinese textbook, and Aoki Jie had to search his schoolbag twice before he found it.

He thought his memory was good, so he took out his textbook from his bag and listened to Hikigaya Hachiman's speech. Only then did he realize what was happening and looked up in confusion.

"Huh? I haven't seen '00 Spring Day'."

"..."

Hikigaya's expression froze.

Taking back what he said before, Hikigaya Hachiman does not think that Aokisuke is a friend worth associating with.

Those who don't read "00 Spring Day" are destined to live a failed and boring life. Hikigaya Hachiman refuses to be friends with such people.

......

The morning interlude passed simply, and after the class bell rang, Hikigaya Hachiman turned around.

I had classes as usual in the morning, had a set meal bento at noon, and Hikigaya treated me to some juice. After lunch, I went to the first grade floor to teach Kita Ikuyo guitar for a while.

There were no more incidents in the afternoon until the school bell rang.

Because it was Friday, Aokisuke had to go to the service club for a while after school.

He thought that he could spend the day peacefully by staying in the service club for a while, but when he was packing his schoolbag, a voice suddenly interrupted him.

"Senior Aoki, I have a question about guitar—"

A vibrant voice came from the back door of the classroom. Even though it was after school, most students were still attracted by the voice.

"Who's that red-haired girl?"

"This is Kita-san from the first grade, right? He's quite popular among the first graders..."

"Who is she calling? Is there a classmate named Aoki in the class?"

"I don't know..."

In the classroom, students who had not yet packed their bags and left began to discuss in low voices.

Hikigaya Hachiman knew the classmate at the back door. Several days ago, he had seen this classmate and another girl together with Aoki Suke in the corridor.

Add to that the fact that she just called him 'Aoki-senpai', and it seems like she's here to see Aoki-suke no matter how you look at it.

Glancing at the classmates around him who were whispering about what was happening, he shifted his gaze to look at Aokisuke, and Hikigaya Hachiman gave him a slightly worried look.

Aoki Jie is not someone who cares about other people's opinions. Outsiders' discussions about him may have a slight impact on him, but the impact will never be too big.

So, while stuffing the last textbook into his schoolbag, Aokisuke responded, "What's the problem? I have to go to the club later. How about we talk at the store later?"

"Do we have to wait a while?" Kita Ikuyo said, holding onto the door frame with both hands and looking at Aokisuke in the classroom. "I understand, Aoki-senpai. I'll trouble you later--"

"It's okay." Aokisuke responded.

The discussion in the class fell silent for a moment.

The next moment, even louder discussions erupted from within the class.

A quiet, autistic classmate who had been transferred to the school for less than a month was actually being addressed as "senior" by a sweet, adorable, and very popular first-year junior?!

Is this some kind of romantic comedy light novel?!

Some of his classmates looked at Aoki Jie with questioning, misunderstanding, and envy.

Hey, hey...it must be unpleasant to be talked about by most of the classmates...Aoki-san, can you bear it...?

The worry in Hikigaya Hachiman's dead fish eyes was even more intense.

"Well, see you later, Senior Aoki." With a chuckle, Kita Ikuyo waved his hand and left through the back door of the classroom.

"Well, walk slowly."

Because he has been teaching Kita Ikuyo to play the guitar in recent days, Aokisuke and Kita Ikuyo have gradually become familiar with each other.

Therefore, under Ms. Guilaiquxi's energetic voice, Aoki Jie responded with the same tone as usual, but in the eyes of others, it seemed somewhat perfunctory.

The discussion got louder.

Aoki Jie didn't care. After watching Kita Ikuyo leave, he picked up his schoolbag and stood up from his seat.

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was standing beside him, saw Aokisuke was about to leave the classroom, so he hesitated for a moment and then stood up.

He looked at the dead-eyed boy beside him with some surprise, without saying much. After a moment of silence, Aoki Jie walked out of the classroom door.

P.S.1: I recommend a book by a friend. If you are interested, you can go and read it.

Here is a brief introduction:

"If you feel empathy, familiarity, sympathy, respect, jealousy, and all of the above for a girl.

It's definitely not just love.
