People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

Especially with her red face and the stumbling sound...

Ijichi Hoshige understands her sister's personality very well.

So she decisively did not dwell on the detail of whether it was "like" or "have a good impression", but instead stopped worrying about it and started a new topic.

The store manager continued,

"That kid with the eyepatch in the store just now, who only met Aoki once, but came all the way here to look for him just because of a comment... And that kid Kita mentioned, Yukinoshita, who's in the same club as Aoki..."

"It doesn't really matter whether you like me or have a crush on me. Hongxia, please think carefully about what I just said - if you hesitate any longer, someone else will get there first."

It was unclear whether he was joking or giving serious advice when Yijizhi Xingge said to Hong Xia.

After hearing what her sister said, Hong Xia was a little hesitant.

Although she was still very shy when talking about Aoki Suke, Hongxia did not continue to interrupt Ijichi Xingge's voice. Instead, her cheeks turned slightly red and she remained silent for a while.

Love doesn't depend on who comes first, hesitation may lead to someone else taking the lead, good impression and love...

Hong Xia couldn't tell the difference or understand what Yidizhi Xingge said.

In fact, she herself was not even aware of the feelings she had towards Aokisuke.

But there was one thing she was very clear about, her sister was probably right—

If I keep hesitating and just stand by and watch, then...sometimes I'll feel a little uncomfortable...

"As for friends, it shouldn't be a big deal to go out for dinner together in our free time, right?"

Ijichi Hoshige looked away and returned his gaze to his laptop.

Then she spoke casually, and then stopped talking after a sentence.

Hong Xia didn't respond, and Yidi Chixingge didn't bring up another topic.

The sudden conversation between the two ended with a short sentence from Ichichi Hoshige that was incoherent.

......

And the other side.

It was around 3:50, which was not yet the rush hour, so the tram was not crowded.

But the sun has already begun to set.

Sitting in the empty carriage, Aoki Jie could see the light orange sky outside the carriage through the window.

Perhaps because she was afraid of causing him more trouble, Rikka Takanashi hesitated for a while after leaving [STARRY], and then decisively rejected his suggestion to walk around again.

Aoki didn't care about it.

Because he was worried that Rikka would get lost again if she went home alone, after confirming that Rikka Takanashi had decided to go home, he offered to take the train to take her home.

The journey is a little bit long, but not too far.

However, by the time I sent Liuhua home and returned to the station, it was already past three forty.

After buying the ticket and getting on the bus, after a bumpy ride, it was starting to get a little closer to dusk.

The view outside the window is nice, but it's a little lacking.

The scenery of Tokyo, a metropolis, in the afternoon is really no match for the night view.

The night view is more prosperous because of the neon lights, and the bustling crowds also make this place more lively.

Aoki Jie once heard someone say: Tokyo's nightlife is the real upper-class life.

The authenticity of this statement is debatable, but regardless of whether it is true or not - it is a pity that even though Aokisuke has lived in Tokyo for about a year, he has never experienced Tokyo's real nightlife so far.

But I did experience a fake nightlife before joining the band. Before joining the band, I worked in a bar and Aokisuke would get off work until the early hours of the morning every day...

The tram was shaking up and down, and Aoki Jie was looking out the window, his mind wandering a little.

Until the cell phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.

Someone sent a message.

Wondering who would send him a message at this time, Aokijie took out his phone from his pocket and unlocked the screen decisively.

After a few bumps, I could see the content on the screen clearly. It was a Line message from Rikka Takanashi.

[Evil King's True Eyes: Sealed One, can you receive my message? ]

[Evil King's True Eye: Sealed One, thank you for bringing me back to the base safely.]

He had already said thank you, and now he said thank you again in a childish tone... Maybe he was testing whether he would reply?

Aokiji thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so he simply replied with an emoticon of Huajiro nodding.

Then, almost at the same time as it was sent out, a 'read' sign appeared behind the emoticon package.

After waiting for a while, Rikka Takanashi stopped sending messages.

I probably just wanted to test whether I would reply to messages on Line...

With this thought in mind, Aoki Jie prepared to turn off the screen and put away his phone.

However, before he could take any action, a new message appeared on his mobile phone screen.

It wasn't from Rikka Takanashi, but from Nikka Ijichi, who almost never sent her a private message.

【Hongxia: Aoki-senpai.】

--------split line--------

ps: The pace of Black Myth Wukong is so fast, it feels like the comments on the Internet are now polarized... The haters will curse as much as they can and insult in all kinds of ways, while the white fans are not allowed to have any bad words, they must praise heavily and no opinions can be raised... I just finished defeating the Black Bear Monster, and I can only say that I'm waiting for the third ending which may not appear.

Chapter 83 The first step to success is often the hardest, and then it may become even harder.

After seeing the message sent by Hong Xia, Aoki replied, "What's wrong?"

In just a blink of an eye, a "read" sign appeared behind the message.

However, five or six minutes passed after the message showed as read, but there was no further message from Hong Xiaxin on the other end of the phone.

Sitting on the tram and looking at the screen, Aoki Jie felt a little confused.

Hong Xia, who rarely contacted me on weekdays, suddenly sent me a message, and after replying, there was no further response...

It's a bit strange.

Meanwhile...

the other side--

After being persuaded by my sister and cleaning up the livehouse.

Hong Xia, who had some free time, looked at Aoki Jie's avatar on Line. Probably with three parts hesitation, three parts impulse, and four parts impulsiveness, she sent a message to Aoki Jie with the idea that "it's okay for friends to have a meal together when they are free."

However, the moment after sending the message, she calmed down again.

"There's nothing wrong with friends going out for a meal together when they have free time."

Although that is what is said.

But if I were to find Aoki-senpai alone right now and ask him to have dinner with me... no matter how I look at it, this request wouldn't seem right.

It's like a three-year-old child staring at a smoothie in their parents' arms on a summer day - the child wants a smoothie, but you... you want something, anyone can tell, right?

and so--

The moment after sending the message, Hong Xia regretted it immediately, and at the same time, she suddenly had the idea of ​​withdrawing the message.

I can’t say it!

However......

Unfortunately, just as I had the idea of ​​withdrawing the message, a read mark appeared after the message "Senior Aoki" sent by Hongxia.

At the same time, Aoki Jie also quickly replied with a message.

[Aoki-senpai: What's wrong? ]

"..."

Hover your finger over the Undo button.

Looking at the message sent by Aoki Jie on the phone screen, Hongxia's face froze little by little.

Ruined.

Things like inviting Senior Aoki to dinner shouldn't be done impulsively; we should think it over carefully.

No matter how reasonable her sister's words were, if she had to truly say this to Aoki-senpai, and admit, or even tacitly acknowledge, that she had feelings for him...

She bit her lower lip lightly, and a slight blush appeared on the girl's face.

Take a deep breath.

Then, looking at the message sent by Aoki Jie on Line, Hongxia shook her head again, decisively shaking off the random thoughts in her mind at the moment.

Now the point is not this -

On the phone screen, Aokisuke's "What's wrong?" remained unanswered.

What we should consider now is how to give a reasonable answer that can get away with it.

or it could be......

Or, think of a reasonable, non-obtrusive excuse that will prevent Senior Aoki from seeing your purpose, and then invite Senior Aoki to go out alone with you when he is free...alone!

My mind is a little confused.

Hong Xia was extremely hesitant about whether to "get away with it directly" or "find a reasonable excuse to invite Senior Aoki to go out alone".

It was extremely quiet inside [STARRY], which had no customers at the moment. Looking down at the messages on the phone screen, Hong Xia felt that she could even hear her own heartbeat.

After hesitation,

Six or seven minutes had passed since Aoki Jie sent the message. After looking at the read mark after the message and thinking for a long time, she finally made up her mind.

I'm worried that if my excuse isn't good enough, I might get caught... but I'd be a bit reluctant to just get away with it...

So, therefore!

Hong Xia tapped the screen with her fingers and entered the information decisively.

......

The train jolted a little again, and Aokisuke looked out the window again.

It's about five minutes away from the destination.

After returning home, it will be almost five o'clock, so you can take advantage of your free time to have dinner...

I was planning my next steps in my mind and thinking about what to eat later when the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated again.

It was probably a message from Hongxia.

He took out his phone again and turned on the screen. Just as he had guessed, it was indeed a message sent by Hong Xia five minutes later.

[Hongxia: Aoki-senpai, are you free the day after tomorrow? I want to go shopping at the music store.]

I opened the chat interface and saw the message clearly on the slightly shaky tram.

He tilted his head and stared at the screen in thought for a moment.

Maybe Hongxia wants to buy a new electronic drum, so she plans to ask me to help carry the instrument the day after tomorrow?

Although the drum set can be disassembled and moved, it is still somewhat difficult for one person to carry it alone. So as the only male in the band, it is reasonable for him to ask for help...

I have plenty of free time during the summer vacation, so it’s no big deal to help out.

I tapped the screen with my fingers to reply, but before I could send the message, Hong Xia quickly sent a second message.

[Hongxia: I want to ask Aoki-senpai to help me choose something, and then we can have lunch together or something...]

Just a moment after the message was sent, the girl added another sentence, as if anxious to explain.

[Hongxia: Since I've always been taken care of by Aoki-senpai, whether it was helping me in the beginning or later on with various original music, I'd like to treat you to lunch.]

The typing action froze.

Looking at the message sent by Hongxia on the screen, Aoki Jie looked confused.

Let's not talk about why Hong Xia suddenly felt taken care of by me and wanted to treat me to a meal, just talking about choosing a musical instrument...
