People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

Even though it has been more than two months since Aokisuke started to learn about guitars, and although he has been learning relevant knowledge in this area during this period, at present - he still dare not say how much he knows about the types, quality, and quality of guitars.

So, not to mention the complete lack of knowledge about electronic drum instruments.

And at this moment, Hong Xia actually wanted him to help choose...

What is this kid thinking?

Hong Xia knew how much he knew about musical instruments. After all, he hadn't concealed anything when he was learning about them. So when Hong Xia asked him to help him choose, Aoki Jie's first reaction was, "Hong Xia's request is a bit strange."

Suddenly contacting me, not messaging me for a while, then wanting me to help with something I'm totally not good at...

Not only is the request strange, but if you think about it carefully, Hong Xia's series of actions this afternoon seem very strange.

I was slightly surprised, and even had some absurd guesses in my mind, such as 'He just wanted to have dinner with me so he found a lame excuse'.

But he quickly put this unreliable idea behind him.

Obviously, Hong Xia's purpose was not considered at this time, so Qing Mujie simply sent a message to reply.

[If it's about bringing electronic drums back to the livehouse, I can help, but choosing electronic drums... I'm really not that good at that, so forget it.]

The message will be shown as read immediately after it is sent.

After reading the message sent by Aoki Suke, Hongxia was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that the reason of 'wanting Aoki-senpai to help choose a musical instrument' was not reasonable for Aoki-senpai.

But fortunately, Senior Aoki himself gave a suitable reason——

After clicking 'read', Hong Xia hesitated for a moment, then continued to send the message with the determination that she would not regret it after having already done this.

[Hongxia: I have a request for that as well. Regarding the selection...actually, I'd like Aoki-san to help me pick the right color.]

A bit far-fetched.

Hong Xia felt that the purpose of this sentence was too easy to be seen through.

So after sending this message, she decisively turned off the phone screen.

I dared not look at my phone screen for the time being, just in case Senior Aoki doubted my purpose...

Thinking of this, Hong Xia couldn't help but gently turn on the screen.

The reply from Aokisuke can be seen even without unlocking the screen.

[Aoki-senpai: That's fine, just set the time.]

Her heartbeat quickened a little. Looking at Aokisuke's reply on the phone screen, Hongxia blinked and smiled subconsciously.

Success...successfully taken the first step!

Chapter 84: Daydreaming won’t solve any problems, please take action

After coming out of the station and returning to the apartment after dinner, Aokisuke was already at 5:20.

The sky didn't darken, but a hint of light red appeared on the horizon.

For dinner, I ordered a pork chop rice from a restaurant very close to the apartment. The taste was not very good, but it was served quickly and was cheap.

After returning to the apartment, he had some free time. While tidying up the room, Aokisuke was lost in thought.

When I got off the tram, I stopped chatting with Hongxia.

Although he was very surprised by the other party's attitude at that time, Aoki Jie had no reason to refuse such an offer of help.

After agreeing, the two of them arranged a time and place to meet on the train.

The day after tomorrow, August 23rd, around 10:00 am, we will gather in front of the musical instrument store [Tone] in Shibuya.

Aoki Jie left a deep impression on this musical instrument store. He bought his first guitar in this musical instrument store, and it was the guitar that Miss Liang personally selected for him.

The sound quality is good, the price/performance ratio is very high, and the shape is very exquisite. I have to admit that Miss Liang really knows a lot about musical instruments...

After tidying up the garbage bags, Aokisuke's thoughts suddenly became distracted again.

Speaking of Miss Liang, he couldn't help but recall the few misunderstandings that happened in her house some time ago...

Actually, this has been giving Aokisuke a headache for the past couple of days. Lately, he and Yamada Ryo haven't been communicating at all. Even if they just make eye contact, they'll quickly look away. Their interactions are even more awkward than when they first met...

Be sure to find a time to apologize sincerely!

Although he had this idea in his heart, Aoki Jie was still somewhat hesitant when it came to making an immediate decision to go and greet them and apologize sincerely.

This fact is really hard to explain, and he really doesn't know how to face Yamada Ryo at the moment.

Ms. Liang's attitude was so strange. Even if she questioned me, it would be fine—at least it would be better than the current situation where the two of them didn't communicate with each other and avoided looking at each other...

Thinking about these things, I couldn't help but feel upset again. I wanted to just let things take their course and maintain the status quo, but a voice in my heart told me that I couldn't just let this matter go.

"Why don't we just go and clarify this matter the day after tomorrow after I help Hong Xia?"

Thinking this in his heart, Aokisuke wiped the table, stood up and closed the curtains.

After I finished cleaning the room, it was just around five forty.

According to the original plan, Aoki Suke was to provide professional tutoring to Kita Ikuyo around this time after the summer vacation.

It's not just about singing skills, but also about guitar technique training and practice.

But right now, probably because of something going on at home, Kita Ikuyo just sent a message to Aoki Suke. The professional training and tutoring that was originally scheduled to start today was unilaterally changed by Kita to start tomorrow.

Because it was a private matter, and Kita Ikuyo didn't mention it intentionally, and it was only postponed for one day, so after receiving the message, Aokisuke didn't ask the reason in detail, but just replied "No problem".

However, even though he said 'no problem', Aokisuke was still a little confused about it.

In fact, he had more or less sensed something was wrong before the summer vacation - some time before the summer vacation, Kita Ikuyo had discussed with him about putting the guitar training during lunch break on hold for the time being.

At that time, Aoki's answer was also "no problem", and he didn't ask the reason in detail.

And then, a week ago, when I was having dinner at a restaurant and I proposed that Ikuyo Kita be the lead singer, Ikuyo Kita also said something like, "There might not be enough time."

So I am somewhat puzzled.

However, although he was puzzled, judging from the current performance, there probably wasn't any big problem on Kita's side, so Aoki was not too worried. He just thought about it for a moment and then turned his attention away.

Instead of thinking about these things that have no answers now, it is better to think about the arrangements afterward.

It's summer vacation, but Aokisuke feels that he has been busier recently than when he was in school.

In preparation for "Fireworks", I have to take some time out in the next two days to have a detailed discussion with Niijima Tomosuke about the contract issue.

Most of the daytime time is spent on ensemble training, and then I have to find time to teach Xiduo singing and guitar techniques.

I will help Hong Xia the day after tomorrow, and I also want to find time to apologize to Miss Liang sincerely.

I have to consider the music selection for the album after the band ends, and I also need to think carefully about how to improve the band's quality in a short period of time, so that after the release of "Fireworks", I can give the audience a perfect listening experience of "Fireworks"...

There is no need to think about finding time to work. Not to mention whether he has the time, even if he really squeezes out the time, Aokisuke will not have much energy left.

However, Aokisuke felt that this busy feeling was very fulfilling - compared to the days when he had to work three jobs a week, this was already very easy.

But now I seem to have less time to study than I did then.

Aokisuke recalled his original goal two months ago before he joined the band.

It always felt like a long time had passed between then and now, but when he recalled it now, he suddenly realized that only two months had passed...

The light in the room was somewhat dim after the curtains were drawn.

With all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, Aoki Jie turned on the light in the room and picked up the book "The Suzumiya Haruhi" from the table beside him, which he had not continued reading for a long time because he was preparing for the final exams.

He was thinking about his summer vacation plans here and there. After thinking for a while, he took advantage of the free time and opened "The Suzumiya Haruhi" to read again.

It was around nine o'clock. He chose not to stay up late. After his eyes felt a little sore, he decisively put away the novel, washed up, and then went to bed.

Silent all night.

The next day, August 22nd.

I woke up very early in the morning, and in order to refresh myself, I went for a run.

I spent the morning in my room, reading a book and listening to the radio on my phone.

I had lunch at noon and went to a livehouse to practice in the afternoon.

Around six o'clock, he stayed in the store to give Kita special training.

They practiced for about an hour before going home, but the reason they ended the practice was because Kita received a call from his parents.

I went to eat ramen before returning to the apartment in the evening. The second day of summer vacation passed peacefully without any special incidents.

Then, August 23rd.

I got up at seven o'clock and was still washing up when Aokisuke received a message from Hongxia.

Chapter 85 Aokisuke’s date target is - electronic drum?

August 23rd, the third day of the holiday.

It’s easy to forget the time when you’re busy. In the blink of an eye, two days of summer vacation have already passed.

The healthy schedule only lasted for two days - he went to bed at one o'clock in the morning last night, but woke up very early this morning, so Aoki Jie was not very energetic at the moment.

I was woken up by the alarm clock at around six o'clock. I lay in bed, hesitating whether to take a nap until the sleepiness disappeared. I got up from the bed with sleepy eyes, changed my clothes, and then dragged myself to wash up.

As a result, just as I washed my face and was about to brush my teeth, my phone next to the sink suddenly vibrated.

My not-quite-awake brain took a while to react before I realized that someone had sent me a message early in the morning.

He turned on the screen of his phone, glanced at the time to make sure it was only around seven o'clock, and then turned his attention to the contact who had sent the message.

It was sent by Hongxia.

He was puzzled as to why the message came at this time when they had agreed to meet at 10 o'clock. He unlocked the lock screen to check the message.

[Hongxia: Aoki-senpai, what would you like to eat for lunch?]

Holding a toothbrush in his mouth, Aokijie looked at the message sent by Hongxia on his phone with a slightly puzzled look on his face.

In his opinion, the main purpose of going out today should be to help move the electronic drums.

Lunch is secondary - in other words, after leaving home at 10 o'clock, buying electronic drums and returning to the livehouse, it may not even be lunch time.

So right now, Hong Xia sent me a message around 7am asking what I wanted to eat for lunch...

More than strange, it's downright bizarre.

After staring at the message and thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out what purpose Hong Xia had sent the message. After considering it, Qing Mujie chose to express his thoughts.

[It might take less than an hour to pick out the electronic drums and bring them back to the livehouse. We can talk about lunch then.]

Sent messages are shown as read almost instantly.

On the other side, in Hongxia's bedroom.

With the idea of ​​'I want to confirm where to have lunch', Hong Xia sent the message after encouraging herself for a long time.

But after holding the phone and waiting for a while, the girl's heart sank when she saw Aokisuke's message which roughly meant 'It's not certain at the moment, so there's no need to have lunch together if it's not necessary'.

But after a moment of worry, she quickly forced herself to suppress the emotions that emerged in her heart.

What Aoki-san said about "probably taking less than an hour" probably wouldn't be a problem. I could just pretend to hesitate when choosing the electronic drums - after all, the purpose of this trip wasn't to buy electronic drums...

In her heart, she comforted herself with this thought, blinked her eyes at Aoki's reply, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to follow Aoki's response and sent a sentence "Yeah, okay Aoki-senpai."

The message showed as read, but Aokisuke did not reply any further.

Probably thought the chat was over.

After staring at the chat history for a while and making sure that she had not missed any messages, Hong Xia turned off the phone screen.

There are still several hours before the agreed time, but I am already feeling very nervous now.

After all, this is the first time I've experienced something like this...

What if I'm late? What if Aoki-senpai wonders if I didn't buy the electronic drums? What if Aoki-senpai doesn't want to have lunch with me...

With all kinds of thoughts mixed together, Hong Xia couldn't calm down at the moment.

I washed up with random thoughts in my mind until I met my sister in the living room——

At this time on weekdays, it is very likely that Ichichi Xingge is still sleeping.

But now, for some unknown reason, he appeared in the living room early.

After hearing Hongxia finish washing up, Ijichi Xingge, who was sitting on the sofa and looking down at her phone, looked up.
