Chapter 54 is coming?

RiNG Recording Studio.

The air in the room seemed to have been washed by the singing. It was very quiet, with only the faint background noise of the equipment lingering.

Takamatsu Touma and Kaname Rakuna looked at each other with flushed faces, like two people who were in tune with each other. There was only each other in their eyes, and even their breathing was in perfect sync.

Tian Nalin closed his eyes, still enjoying the aftertaste of the ensemble.

Only Shiina Riki stood blankly at the door watching the scene, feeling mixed emotions.

After a while, Gao Songdeng was the first to break the silence. She took a breath and said, "Xiao Lenai, you sing really well."

Kaname Lenai gave her a cool smile in return, and everything was said without words.

At this moment, the soundproof door was closed with a "click", and everyone woke up suddenly, realizing that Shiina Riki had walked in at some point.

"Is this a song you wrote?" Li Xi looked directly at the only man in the room.

"Eh?"

Tian Nalin was startled, then quickly defended himself, "No, this was created by everyone."

[Rikki, you think too highly of me. I'm not as capable as you.]

Hearing these words, Li Xi felt inexplicably relieved, and the pressure on his shoulders was invisibly relieved a lot.

"Your recording studio rental time is up. If you still need it, please add more hours."

After saying that, she pretended not to see the other two people and turned away.

Gao Songdeng, who was still in a daze, wondering why Tian Nalin lied, suddenly came to his senses and quickly spoke:

"Richi-chan, don't go."

Lenai was more direct and stepped forward to grab Lixi's arm.

"Let's play together."

Li Xi stopped, lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Tian Nalin immediately understood the situation, put down his guitar, and trotted out, "I'll go buy drinks for everyone."

Before closing the door, Tian Nalin turned around and glanced at Gao Songdeng.

【Come on, Dengbao, it’s up to you! 】

As the door closed, silence returned to the room.

Gao Songdeng stepped forward and said, "Li Xi-chan, I want to form a band with everyone for life. Can you help me?"

"When you say everyone, does that include that man?"

"No, Mr. Tianna said he would cheer us on from the audience."

"I understand." Li Xi turned around and said, "Whatever Deng wants to do."

...

When Tian Nalin finished his extra time and returned to the recording studio with a drink, he found that Li Xi was already sitting on the drum set, familiarizing himself with the drum beats by looking at the music score.

"What is this, everyone?"

"Do it again." Li Xi said without turning his head.

"okay."

Tian Nalin handed the drinks in his hand to everyone and asked Lenai to take it and drink it directly. Gao Songdeng took it and said "thank you". Only Li Xi was left aside.

Then Tian Nalin returned to his seat, picked up his guitar, and stood by, thinking: "Looking at this, are Deng Bao and the others planning to sing 'Wu Lu Shi' at the live performance? What about 'Shi Chao Jue'?"

Sensing his uneasiness, Takamatsu Deng spoke up, "Mr. Tenna, can I perform this song in a live performance?"

"Of course, this is a song for everyone." Tian Nalin took the opportunity to bring them closer. "If you don't mind, you can just call me by my name like you did with Lenai."

Gao Songdeng raised his right fist to his chest and said in a high-spirited tone, "Lin, I will try my best."

Looking at the girl's determined eyes, Tian Nalin also felt relieved.

[Forget it, I'd better not worry about it as an outsider. Deng Bao and the others will definitely be able to handle everything.]

Thinking of this, Tian Nalin saw Lixi raise the drumsticks and tap them, and he perked up and focused on playing.

The practice time for a song goes by quickly.

Tian Nalin let go of the guitar and moved his fingers slightly.

Li Xi looked at him with a stern face and asked, "Are you free tomorrow? I need to find another bassist to record the accompaniment."

"If I'm free, what time should we meet?" Tian Nalin was secretly happy. Could it be that he was going to meet Sister Hai Ling?

"Five o'clock, don't be late."

After saying that, Li Xi turned aside and instructed the cat who was already packing up: "And you too."

"I understand." Kaname replied.

Finally, Li Xi looked towards the middle and said in a slow voice, "Deng, let me take you back."

"Thank you, Riki-chan." Takamatsu Deng said gratefully.

A blush flashed across Lixi's fair cheeks, and she turned sideways to cover it up while picking up her handbag so that no one could see it.

When Tian Nalin saw that the two were about to leave, he put his guitar in its case and put it on his back, then went forward to help Yao Lenai pull the cart.

Afterwards, the group said goodbye at the entrance of RiNG, and Tian Nalin sent Yao Lenai back to Bunkyo District and headed east.

Shiina Riki took Takamatsu Touma all the way south and escorted the latter to the Chitoge Trail Bridge.

The two of them stopped in the middle of the bridge at the same time, as if they both felt that they had something to say to each other.

Li Xi stared at the ground, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry, Deng, I shouldn't have said that yesterday."

"It's okay, Riki-chan." Takamatsu Deng spoke in a very gentle tone, like a mother comforting her child.

"lamp..."

Li Xi raised her head with emotion and looked into the former's tender eyes. She remembered someone's teasing and finally bravely took the risk.

"Deng! No matter what happens in the future, I will never leave you again."

"Yeah, me too, Riki-chan." Takamatsu Deng responded immediately.

The moment he heard these words, Li Xi felt that all his previous efforts were worth it, and joy filled his chest.

In order not to embarrass herself, she turned her blushing face away and tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that kept rising.

"Um...see you tomorrow, remember to have a good rest tonight."

"See you tomorrow, Riki-chan."

Gao Songdeng didn't notice her unusual mood, but just regarded these words as ordinary concern between friends. After saying goodbye, he walked to the other end of the footpath bridge.

Only after hearing the footsteps moving away did Li Xi dare to turn around and look at the former's slender back.

Suddenly, she felt that being able to hear someone's thoughts was not such a bad thing anymore.

...

the other side.

After returning to the rental house, Tian Nalin saw that Toyokawa Shoko was not there, so he used his computer to send the rendered dance video of "Our LIVE and Your LIFE" to the Pastel*Palettes band's email address.

This is a simple 3D dance animation he created using free software similar to MMD. Since Tian Nalin was an animation student before he traveled through time, he only needed to be familiar with the instructions for this type of software to use it normally. The character models were also made from free resources on the Internet. He only pursued practicality and the workload required was not much.

Shortly after sending the message, Tian Nalin received an official reply from the agency, inviting him to go to the company tomorrow to discuss matters related to the song copyright.

"It's tomorrow again. Looks like I need to find someone to cover for me."

Working in a convenience store is like working in some other industries. If something urgent happens, you can only switch shifts with a colleague. There is no such thing as asking for leave.

Especially since he has an appointment with Dengbao, Tian Nalin plans to find a part-time worker to replace his job tomorrow, so that he doesn't have to owe favors to his colleagues and can get away with it.

Chapter 55 Chain

After contacting a part-time worker through an intermediary online, Tian Nalin logged into the U2B website to check the account background data.

However, the current accumulated income is pitifully small, only a few dozen US dollars, probably because the time of joining the advertising profit-sharing plan is too short.

"Alas, it all comes down to lack of money... If I had money, I could focus on learning the knowledge required to be a producer and wouldn't have to waste time working part-time."

Speaking of money, Tian Nalin immediately thought of the lead singer of "Hello, Happy World!", Xian Juanxin. She is a real chaebol daughter. If he can rely on this big tree, he will not have to worry about money anymore.

Maybe Xiangzi’s problem can be solved by this young lady with just one sentence, “Why don’t you smile?” and then a smooth combo of “Happy! Lucky! Smile! Yeah!”

Kidding.

In reality, Tian Nalin wouldn't ask for help for something like this. He didn't want his relationship with the girls to be tainted by the smell of money and taint their pure friendship. Selling songs to entertainment agencies was already the limit.

Thinking this way, he began to understand Xiangzi's awkward persistence.

...

That night, some people were also worried about money.

After paying the bill at the front desk, Shoko Toyokawa looked at the few dollars left in her wallet and sighed silently.

In order to discuss business, meetings in some high-end restaurants were always unavoidable. For this, she had almost spent all her current savings, leaving only enough for living expenses for that month.

However, she finally used the reputation of the Toyokawa family and the Wakaba family to get the entertainment agency where Sankaku Hatsuka worked. Later, she only needed to gather the remaining team members and use the opportunity to get investment from acquaintances in her family to achieve her small goal of making a mainstream debut.

At this time, the gentle female voice of Sanjiao Chuhua sounded, "Xiaoxiang, are you full? How about we go get something to eat? It's my treat."

Although most of the high-end restaurants in District 11 offer a wide variety of dishes and taste good, there is one problem: the portions are too small, and even girls may not be able to fill their stomachs.

Toyokawa Shoko wanted to refuse, but when she remembered that she needed to discuss something in private with the other party, she turned around and said, "Okay, I'm still a little hungry."

"Great, I know a good izakaya nearby, let's go."

Seeing that Xiangzi agreed, Chuhua put on a baseball cap for disguise, and led the way to the destination with cheerful steps, like a big golden retriever leading the way for his master.

Not long after, the two came to an izakaya located in an alley, with high-rise buildings on both sides. A curtain with the store's name printed on it was hung at the door. The customers inside were almost all office workers. Girl groups like them were quite rare and attracted a lot of attention.

After finding a small table for two, Chu Hua skillfully ordered some signature snacks and drinks from the store without even looking at the menu on the wall.

After spending some time together, she had a pretty good idea of ​​Xiangzi's current taste and could order his favorite food categories without asking.

Xiangzi, who was visiting such a place for the first time, looked around curiously, felt the unique Japanese style of the store, and listened to the office workers around him complaining about work or trivial matters in life. He inexplicably felt relaxed.

"The environment here is pretty good, Xiaoxiang."

Under the dim warm light, Chuhua's handsome neutral face became softer, making Xiangzi feel the warmth of being accompanied by someone.

"Well, thank you Chuhua for bringing me to a place like this."

Chu Hua shook his head slightly and said affectionately: "I should be the one to thank. As long as I am with Xiao Xiang, I feel very happy."

"Chuhua, you are exaggerating." Xiangzi smiled slightly and brushed it off as a joke.

Faced with the gravity emitted by Chuhua, she has gone from being uncomfortable at first to being accustomed to it now.

Just as someone said, she currently has neither the energy nor the mind to accept the affection from her childhood sweetheart. Getting out of this predicament is her top priority right now.

After hearing this, Chu Hua realized that he had accidentally revealed too deep feelings and changed the subject.

"What are your plans for the weekend, Xiao Xiang? Hachiman-san is finally free and I'd like to meet up."

"Okay, Chuhua, please arrange a place for me."

"I see. How about holding it in a live house? We can discuss technical matters then."

Xiangzi's eyes flickered. "Sure, I know there's a live house called CiRCLE in Bunkyo Ward. It's a very good shop."

"CiRCLE~ I heard that live house business is very popular. I wonder if we can book a recording studio there." Chu Hua said with a slightly worried expression.

"Then let's change to another one." Xiangzi deliberately avoided RiNG and chose another place.

During the conversation, several side dishes and drinks were quickly served, and Xiangzi gradually led the conversation to work matters.
