"It's a pleasure to work with you, Tianna-kun." Xiangzi's lips curled up into a beautiful arc, indicating that he had a plan.

Originally, Xiangzi wanted to observe for a while and get a clearer understanding of Tian Nalin's personal situation before agreeing.

However, the threat posed by Su Shi was too great, so she had to change her plan to control the other party's range of activities and prevent her own address from being leaked.

It also allows her to end her boring customer service job early and only work part-time during the day on weekends, giving her more time to concentrate on important things.

Tian Nalin, who was completely unaware of this, continued, "I wonder when Miss Xiangzi will be able to start teaching?"

"That'll be enough for today. Tenna-kun shouldn't have anything else to do."

"So soon? Is Miss Xiangzi's original part-time job okay?"

"Well, I submitted an application to the company's human resources department last week, and they approved it."

"That's great." Tian Nalin's face was filled with joy.

[Lucky~ I never thought I could actually hire Teacher Daxiang. This money is totally worth it.]

"Tian Na-kun seems very happy?" Xiangzi asked with a smile.

"Oh, sorry, I just remembered something happy." Tian Nalin immediately restrained his smile, worried that it would offend the girl.

Xiangzi, who had heard his thoughts a long time ago, did not expose them. The two continued to discuss some details about the tutoring arrangements, such as whether dinner would be provided.

After confirming these details, Xiangzi stood up and said, "Mr. Tianna, please wait here for a moment. I need to go to the company to take care of some work matters."

"Okay." Tian Nalin agreed subconsciously.

He sat there tasting Darjeeling black tea and watched the former disappear into the busy street with lotus steps.

When Shoko Toyokawa reappeared in the coffee shop, it was half an hour later. Based on this time, Tian Nalin judged that the other party's workplace should be not far away.

【It turns out that Mr. Daixiang works part-time near Shinjuku Station. 】

Ignoring this thought, Xiangzi went to the cashier to pay the bill, then came to him and said, "Sorry for the long wait, Tenna-kun. Let's go back."

"Oh."

Tian Nalin was like a puppet, obeying Xiangzi's remote control and following his orders.

It wasn't until the two of them entered the station and boarded the tram to the North District that he realized what was happening.

[Wait, could it be that Teacher Daxiang is controlling me?]

[But I still want to go to RiNG to see how Dengbao and the others are doing. What should I do now?]

Chapter 19 Destined Destiny

After thinking for a while, Tian Nalin made an excuse, "Ms. Xiangzi, I have something to do and need to get off in Ikebukuro. Please go back first, I will be there soon."

He wanted to confirm the status of the MyGO protagonists from a distance. After all, Chihaya Aine had not appeared in RiNG yet, which was really worrying.

"Is there something important, Mr. Tianna?" Xiangzi looked as friendly as if Bai Xiang had been reborn.

Tian Nalin's eyes drifted toward the window. "I heard there's a live house called RiNG in Ikebukuro. I was planning to go check it out this afternoon."

"I see. Why don't I go with Tenna-kun? I'm actually quite curious about that new live house, too."

"Ah, this..." Tian Nalin suddenly felt that the situation was out of control again, and hesitated whether to go to RiNG another day.

[Teacher Daxiang, why did you come along? This doesn't fit your character.]

Hearing his inner thoughts, Xiangzi said with a hint of displeasure: "If Tianna-kun minds my following him, then just pretend I never said anything."

Seeing that the other party had talked to this point, Tian Nalin had no choice but to agree.

"No, no, Miss Xiangzi, I'm very happy to come along. I was just worried about wasting your time."

"You're so kind, Tianna-kun. It's a very necessary experience for musicians to go to a live house and experience the atmosphere of a performance."

"Miss Xiangzi is right." Tian Nalin touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

[What should I do? Should I really take Teacher Daxiang to meet Dengbao and the others?]

As a fun-loving person, Tian Nalin really wants to see what kind of unknown sparks will be created when Xiangzi and his former teammates meet unexpectedly at this moment.

But on the other hand, he also wants the future to develop according to the original plot and MyGO to be successfully established.

Just as Tian Nalin was hesitating, the train arrived at Ikebukuro Station unknowingly.

Xiangzi smiled and reminded, "Tian Na-kun, we have arrived at the station."

"Okay." Tian Nalin's thoughts returned to reality, and he walked towards RiNG with his head held high.

------

On the other side, RiNG's second-floor cafe.

Driven by destiny, five girls gathered here to discuss matters related to the band.

"Hey! Are they your former teammates, Xiao Deng?" Chihaya Aine opened her mouth in surprise, revealing her cute little fangs.

Before the main character could answer, Shiina Riki spoke first: "That's right, who are you and why are you with Deng?"

"Didn't I just tell you? My name is Chihaya Aine, and I'm a classmate of Xiao Deng's. I was the one who invited Xiao Deng to form a new band."

"Huh? You, a guy, want to invite Deng to form a band together?" Li Xi's eyes were full of contempt.

Aine said unyieldingly, "Is there any problem? Xiao Deng has already promised me."

"what?!"

Li Xi immediately looked aside and asked in a slow tone, "Deng, is this true?"

"Hmm..." Takamatsu Deng lowered his head and said timidly, "Lixi-chan, I want to try again with everyone, is that okay?"

"Of course, of course." Li Xi's originally stern face suddenly became extremely soft, "I'm very happy that you think so."

After receiving a positive answer, Gao Songdeng finally had the courage to look up at Li Xi.

"Aren't you mad that I didn't come to practice earlier, Riki-chan?"

"How could I be mad at you!"

"Is...that so?" Gao Songdeng was puzzled. She knew that she had done something excessive, so why wasn't the other party angry?

"Yes~ (Sodayo~)" Nagasaki Suyo, who had been watching the situation from the other side, suddenly said, "Riki-chan really likes Xiao Deng the most."

"--ha?"

Li Xi slammed the table and stood up, instinctively wanting to refute, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

Then she noticed Gao Songdeng's confused gaze, her face turned red, and she gave up speaking and sat back.

"Roar~" Chihaya Aine noticed the special relationship between the two and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"Tsk." Li Xi glared at the former, as if threatening that he would be in trouble if he dared to say too much.

"Everyone." Su Shi raised his voice to attract everyone's attention, "Since Xiao Deng also wants to form a band, let's start over together."

"Yeah."

The first one to jump out and respond was Chihaya Aine, "I'll be the guitarist and vocalist, what about everyone else?"

"The lead singer is the light, no room for negotiation."

It goes without saying that this sentence was spoken by Li Xi.

“Hey~ I really can’t do anything about you.” Aine took out her phone and started recording the content, “Then let’s play guitar and vocals, and add another lead singer.”

"Are you kidding?" Li Xi's expression was rare and a little difficult to break.

"I, I'm fine..." Gao Songdeng said softly.

Su Shi used her usual questioning tactics, "Excuse me, Chihaya-kun, but isn't the configuration you mentioned too unstable?"

"What's your opinion, Sushi-kun?"

"Chihaya-san, I don't think this is a good choice." Su Shi's expression gradually became serious.

"There's something I didn't get to explain clearly just now. Our goal in reuniting the band is to officially debut, not to attract attention."

"Officially debut?" Aine was frightened by the word.

"That's right." Li Xi took over and said, "If you think we are just playing around, you'd better leave as soon as possible. This place is not suitable for you."

“Are you guys serious about this…” Feeling the determination in their words, Aine began to back off.

Takamatsu Deng raised his hand and asked, "Um... what does it mean to officially debut?"

Li Xi answered gently, "It means officially signing a contract with an agency and commercializing the band."

After saying this, she was afraid that the other party would lose confidence, so she comforted him, "With your strength, you are definitely capable of doing it, don't worry."

"Oh..."

Noticing that Gao Songdeng seemed to have some concerns, Su Shi asked, "Xiaodeng, do you have any other ideas? Please speak up, so that everyone can resolve the misunderstanding."

Li Xi also encouraged him, saying, "That's right, no matter what Deng's ideas are, we will support them."

Hearing what the two of them said, Aine suddenly felt like she was being left out, but in order to allow her friend to open up, she also said:

"I want to hear Xiao Deng's real thoughts, please."

"Everyone..." Gao Songdeng's eyes were a little moist, and he opened his heart to express his concerns.

"...If we officially debut, can we still be together forever?"

"For a lifetime?" Su Shi looked very surprised. She never expected this to be the question.

"Yeah! I don't want us to go our separate ways and become strangers again."

Gao Songdeng looked around at everyone, including a cat next door who turned around to watch the fun, with a determined look.

“This time, I want to form a band for life.”

"I see." Su Shi used a fake smile to hide her true inner thoughts. "Xiao Deng, there's no need to worry about this. After commercialization, our relationship will only become more solid because of this agreement."

Li Xi's reaction was even more straightforward. She clenched her fist and swore seriously, "I swear, I am willing to be with Deng for the rest of my life."

"Thanks..."

Takamatsu Deng looked at the two of them with emotion, then turned his gaze to Aine.

Chapter 20 Rejection

Facing the former’s gaze that seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts, Aine retreated.

The girl scratched her cheek, her eyes wandering as she said, "Well... I think a lifetime is too much. Can you give me some time to think about it?"

"Aine-chan..." Takamatsu Deng's expression suddenly became depressed.

Su Shi smiled subtly and advised, "Chihaya-kun, it's okay if you don't force yourself."

Li Xi wanted to say a few words, but suddenly felt someone coming to his side.

She turned her head and saw that it was Kaname Lenai biting the spoon.

"Hey! What do you want, you wild cat?"

Kaname Rakuna looked at Takamatsu Deng calmly and said, "I want to play too."

"what?"

Li Xi frowned and said fiercely, "We are not playing games. Go eat your matcha parfait and don't make trouble."

"I can play the guitar." Yao Lenai still refused to leave.

Being reminded of this, Li Xi immediately remembered the other party's superb technique in playing Rock Canon last time, which was indeed at a professional level.

Su Shi also asked curiously: "Li Xi, who is this?"

"She's a guitarist, as good as Mu."

"Is that so..." Su Shi glanced at Ain meaningfully, "But we already have two guitarists now."

"Are you sure Mu wants to come?" Li Xi crossed his arms. "I remember she said she never had fun playing in a band."

"I will convince Xiaomu." Su Shi said while rubbing his fingers.

Riki didn't have high hopes for this, but considering Kaname's laid-back personality, she tentatively agreed.

"Sorry Wildcat, you should go play with another band, this isn't the place for you."
