People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

Looking at the boy who met her gaze, Kita's mother paused.

But she soon came back to her senses.

"About this, I'm sorry, Aoki-kun. I was negligent."

He took a deep breath, apologized, and then continued to speak.

"But I don't agree with what you said about 'good intentions not imposing one's own ideology on children.'"

Just as Aokisuke has his own ideas, Kita's mother also has her own persistence in her heart.

Compared to the unrealistic music dream, my daughter clearly has a better choice——

"A hobby can't be eaten, and Kita's enthusiasm is always short-lived."

"Music can be a dream for many people, but for Xiduo, she shouldn't choose this."

"You young people simply can't understand this kind of thing—there are clearly better options, clearly better prospects, and her grades were pretty good before. Why did she choose that unrealistic dream, that illusory future?"

Kita's mother paused for a moment and then continued.

"..."

And opposite the sofa.

Aokisuke looked at Kita Ikuyo's mother, and just like before, he did not respond immediately.

It was rare. Although he had rehearsed it countless times in his mind, he didn't know how to respond now.

It was not because he was speechless after being refuted by Kita's mother, but because, at this moment, Aoki's thoughts were really complicated after hearing what Kita's mother said.

no patience.

This should not be selected.

Unrealistic and illusory.

With just a few words, all of Kita Ikuyo's efforts in the band so far were simply denied.

Aokijie did not agree with what Kita's mother said.

Admittedly, The End is not a very famous band at the moment.

But as of now, after three months of running-in, going through practice, temporary live, official competitions, etc., Aoki Jie believes that ending the band can probably be called a "professional band."

He has won the championship in the PVC professional competition and his videos on YouTube have been played over a million times. Until now, he has been working with Yusuke Niijima.

Even if it is said in a more realistic way, even if it is said in a more vulgar way——

Just considering the money that End Band has earned from releasing music so far, it is definitely enough for End Band to be called a "professional band".

And these...

However, they were all denied with the words "unrealistic and illusory".

Kita's mother probably never really understood her daughter's "hobby".

No, it’s not that she didn’t understand it, it’s more like she never even took these things seriously.

No matter what my daughter really wants, no matter her dreams, no matter her achievements in music, no matter how hard she has worked for it...

......

We must look at everyone and everything with a dialectical perspective.

Kita's mother may be very old-fashioned, but what she really cares about in her heart is that her daughter will have a better life in the future.

Different positions lead to different thoughts.

The two people have different perspectives. Kita's mother may not want to understand her daughter's interests and hobbies. Ignorance is not a crime, and there is nothing wrong with her wording.

Aokisuke really wanted to use these words to convince himself.

But right now...

Looking at Kita's mother's serious attitude, from the moment she first entered the door to now, for the first time, Aoki Jie felt that he could not look at this matter from a rational and objective perspective.

......

And at this moment, on the stairs on the second floor.

Listening to her mother's words downstairs, Kita Ikuyo felt a tightness in her chest.

Suddenly, I inexplicably thought of the recent wave of public opinion about me on the Internet;

Not suitable as a lead singer.

It's just playing house.

And now, the words my mother said;

no patience.

Unrealistic and illusory.

Slowly leaning on the handrail of the stairs, I inexplicably felt that my breathing was a little difficult at this moment.

She had known all these things her mother said for a long time, and she had also known that her mother did not support her for a long time.

So you shouldn't feel wronged, just try your best to bear it.

The silence downstairs was clear, and Senior Aoki did not continue to respond to his mother as he had just done.

Be silent, or acknowledge and then obey.

"That's all that's fine. Thank you, Aoki-senpai, for saying that. I just... I just need to work harder from now on, so..."

With all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, and with the idea that he didn't want to escape anymore and that he absolutely had to bear all of this, Kita tried to force himself to accept it.

then.

Until, downstairs, Aokisuke's voice came again -

"I can't understand it, I can't understand it, and there's no need to understand it!"

living room.

Aokisuke looked at Kita's mother across the table, and his voice was slightly higher than usual.

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, not giving anyone a chance to interrupt, and continued speaking decisively.

"Whether you force her to make a choice or prevent her from playing the guitar... Aunt Kita, you shouldn't make choices for Kita without even knowing what she means by 'hobbies'."

"You've never seen a live performance of Kita, you've never understood her performance, and you have no idea of ​​her value to the band."

"And even without saying that..."

"You never cared about the calluses on her fingertips from practicing guitar, or her hoarse voice from singing to practice music."

"The condescending veto, the condescending words like 'unrealistic, unrealistic'..."

"Can you really say that you are doing this for Kita?"

After three minutes of silence, Aokisuke gave his response.

Even if we stand on different sides, some things should not be denied so easily.

Putting aside the possible profits that could be gained by ending the band now, it is true that ending a band that has just started out is not stable enough.

But many times, the value of many things cannot be determined simply by whether they are stable or not.

The word "dream" is hurtful enough, yet countless people still flock to it.

The result is not the most important thing, the journey is.

These things probably won't persuade Kita's mother, but even if it's like talking to a deaf person, Aokisuke has to say these words.

Across the table, Kita's mother remained silent.

She understood what Aokisuke said.

But just as Aokisuke thought in his heart, it was because she understood these principles that Kita's mother insisted on her own way.

There was silence for a few seconds.

then,

Before Kita's mother could respond, Aokisuke spoke again.

'Dreams, hard work, and the future', these things are too ambitious and too vague.

After a clash of ideas, if you want to convince the other party, you always have to make concessions.

The purpose is not to let Kita endure anything more, but to give the bargaining chips myself.

In fact, from the very beginning, Aoki had a plan in mind -

"I'm sorry, Aunt Kita, I was too harsh."

He apologized softly at first, then paused, then spoke,

"I understand that Aunt Xiduo has your own difficulties, and I also know that Aunt Xiduo is really doing this for Xiduo's own good."

"But sometimes, dreams and reality don't have to conflict."

"I'm the top student in my second year at Xiuhua Private High School. I have excellent grades and know how to teach. I'm not bragging, I'm just stating the facts. Because I've been self-studying for years, the quality of my teaching is definitely better than the private school you enrolled Xiduo in."

"Just consider it a concession and try to give Kita a chance—"

"I'll help Kita with her homework on weekdays, and I guarantee her grades will improve significantly on the next exam. And you can... also give Kita a little break, okay?"

Regardless of how much she listened to, at least after Aokisuke finished speaking, Kita's mother was indeed shaken.

Try to give Kita a chance...

The next exam will be in the first week after the summer vacation. That is to say, even if the teaching of this young man is useless, it will probably only be a waste of one month.

A month's time...

It was obvious that his daughter didn't want to give up the guitar.

She also noticed how tired Kita had been recently.

After Aoki Jie gave in, she wanted to give in even if it was just because she didn't want her daughter to continue to work hard.

Looking at the young man in front of her, Kita's mother was silent and hesitated for a while.

Until five minutes later.

"I understand," she said, her tone containing a hint of compromise, yet also a hint of relief.

"I'll go find the private school and drop out, and you can take Xiduo to pursue her music dream and study at the same time. Is that okay?"

"..."

He breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile on his face.

"no problem."

Then, Aokisuke responded.

......

......

Although the process was a bit tortuous, overall the result was fine.

Having achieved his goal, Aokisuke had no intention of staying any longer.

He stood up decisively, looked at Xiduo's mother, and said,

"I'm so sorry to bother you, Auntie Kita, today. I've been bothering you for so long. I'll be back now. I'll definitely bring some gifts for a formal visit next time."

"Wait a moment, Aoki-san."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Kita's mother took over.

She looked at Aokisuke, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You came to tell me all this...Does Kita know about it?"

After a moment of hesitation, Aokijie quickly reacted, and spoke with an expression as if he suddenly remembered something.

There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Speaking of this... Aunt Kita, I'm telling you this without Kita knowing. She doesn't want to bother anyone anymore, and she's incredibly stubborn. She's using the excuse of not wanting to escape to let herself bear all this alone...

It's hard enough for one person to bear all this, let her take it easy, so please don't mention this to Aunt Xiduo. "

"..."
