"Amoris, please come and get your mask."

Miao Meng was stunned for a moment before realizing that the former was calling him.

"Hi~ Thank you Xiangzi." Miao Meng took the mask and put it on.

"Please call me Oblivionis," Xiangzi corrected. "From now on, whenever we wear masks, we must address each other by code names. Don't forget this, Amoris."

Hai Ling asked on behalf of the team members, "Oblivionis, this is to develop a performance habit to prevent shouting the wrong words after going on stage, right?"

"That's right, Timoris."

"I understand." Miao Meng curled her lips indifferently. In her heart, she disagreed with this kind of second-year setting, but under the pressure of Xiangzi, she had to copy it obediently.

When it was Wakaba Mu's turn to wear the mask, Xiangzi specifically asked whether the other party was breathing smoothly. Seeing that the latter nodded to indicate that there was no problem, he asked everyone to wear the team uniforms and start training together.

When the performance began, perhaps because of the disguises, everyone had a different and novel experience, feeling like they were playing a role-playing game.

Soon after, Xiangzi and the others noticed something was wrong. For the first time, the drums blended perfectly into the ensemble, and the drum beats were clear, powerful, and possessed a unique rhythm, as if a different person was playing.

So after the song ended, everyone looked at Miao Meng first.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Miao Meng asked with a smile, folding her long legs, like a charming witch with a chaotic and evil personality, exuding a completely different charming aura.

Xiangzi looked at him and said, "Amoris, please tell me honestly why your performance was so different from before."

"Oh my~ Isn't this a matter of course? I'm Amoris."

Miao Meng stood up slowly, walked to Xiangzi with a charming cat-like gait, and stretched out her slender fingers to lift the blue-haired girl's chin.

"Hey~Oblivionis, are you satisfied with my level?"

Facing Miao Meng's bold move, Xiangzi narrowed his amber eyes, suppressing his discomfort at being teased and replied, "Very good, Amoris. I hope you can keep it up."

"Hehe~" Miao Meng chuckled with satisfaction and sat back in her seat.

Seeing this scene, the others looked at each other in surprise.

Xiangzi stared at Miao Meng and wondered: Is this a dual personality? Or is it an outburst of something that has been suppressed for a long time?

But no matter what, she at least understood why her other self chose Miao Meng to join the team, because judging from the level that Amoris had just demonstrated, he was in no way inferior to the veterans who had been immersed in this industry for many years.

At this point, the huge stone that was weighing on her heart finally disappeared.

...

6pm, RiNG recording studio.

The girls from the MyGO band finished their practice and packed up their belongings.

Takamatsu Deng took out a notebook from his schoolbag and walked over to Shiina Riki and handed it to him.

"Lixi-chan, these are the lyrics to the new song, can I ask you for it?"

"Of course." Li Xi took the notebook with joy and started flipping through it.

Aiyin came over curiously to watch, and when she saw the title, she subconsciously read it out loud.

"Yin Yihui... Is this the song you wrote for Xiangzi before, Tomorin?"

When Su Shi heard Xiangzi's name, she paused playing the bass and remembered another important thing.

"Yeah!" Gao Songdeng nodded vigorously. "Even though Xiaoxiang refused, I still want to sing it for Lin."

"I understand." After reading the lyrics, Lixi closed her notebook. She had already understood what Gao Songdeng wanted to express, and her expression was very firm.

Aine asked with concern, "Rikki, how are you going to arrange this song?"

"I plan to try to compose this song using the singing style of "Shi Chao Jue" so that I can bring out the emotions of Deng to the greatest extent."

"I feel like what you said makes a lot of sense." Aine looked confused.

"Thank you, Riki-chan." Takamatsu Deng felt touched to be understood.

Li Xi lowered his head in embarrassment. "Nothing. Just like that person said, this is the unique feature of our band. It would be a shame not to develop in this direction."

"I'll be looking forward to it, Riki-chan."

"Come on, Rikki."

After finishing the conversation, everyone split into two groups to go home as usual. Since Tian Nalin didn't come, this time it was Aine who helped to send Lenai to the destination platform on his behalf.

The other group is Riki, Takamatsu Teru, and Suyo, who are riding the train together.

When they arrived at Kishimojin Station, Su Shi took Takamatsu Deng's hand naturally, like a parent with a child.

"Lixi-chan, let me take Xiao Deng home today."

After saying that, Su Shi ignored the other party's shocked expression and pulled Gao Songdeng out.

"Ah! See you tomorrow." Gao Songdeng quickly turned around and said goodbye.

It was not until the two of them left the car that Li Xi realized that he had been tricked, and he made the same sound as when the filming of episode 13 was completed.

"--ha?!"

Chapter 5 I'll Never Forget It

Chitoge Trail Bridge.

Su Shi, who was walking in front, stopped in the middle of the pedestrian bridge and looked up at Takamatsu Deng's residence.

"Before everyone went to the recording studio, they would meet at Xiao Deng's place."

"Yeah." Gao Songdeng responded, not quite understanding why Su Shi said this.

Su Shi put her hands behind her back and recalled: "When we were together before, Xiao Xiang always talked about you. Sometimes he said I like this sentence written by Deng, and sometimes he said that this lyric might mean something like that..."

Gao Songdeng stared intently at his companion's back and listened carefully to what he said.

Su Shi walked to the railing, overlooking the traffic under the bridge and continued, "Actually, I've never understood why Xiaoxiang, who obviously likes Xiaodeng so much, insisted on cutting off contact with you."

"Su Shi... have you figured it out now?" Gao Songdeng asked expectantly.

Su Shi shook her head sadly. "I still can't understand why Xiao Xiang rejected us. We can go back to the way we were before if we were together."

"Hmm..." Gao Songdeng lowered his eyes sadly.

"However, Mr. Tianna is absolutely clear."

"Why would Lin know that?" Gao Songdeng was shocked.

"Because Mr. Tianna is the one among us who knows Xiaoxiang best." Su Shi turned her head to look at her and said, "Xiao Deng, do you remember who stood next to Xiaoxiang during our first live performance?"

Reminded by this, Gao Songdeng recalled the scene in his little brain, gradually discovered his previous memory blind spots, and finally reacted.

"Lin... have you known Xiaoxiang for a long time?"

"Yes, it was from Mr. Tianna's thoughts that I learned about Xiaoxiang's situation, which led me to the idea of ​​reorganizing Crychic."

Su Shi briefly explained the whole story and joked, "If Xiao Deng raises this issue with Mr. Tian Na next time he meets, perhaps we can solve the mystery that has been bothering us. We might even be able to get Xiao Xiang back to reunite with the band."

Gao Songdeng's face didn't show the joy of knowing the truth. "Su Shi...are you saying this because you don't want to read Mr. Tenna's thoughts anymore?"

"Hey, I really can't hide it from you, Xiao Deng."

Su Shi rested her chin on her hands resting on the railing and spoke with a melancholy tone, "Mr. Tianna has always been helping everyone. I don't want to be exploited anymore, so I chose to talk it out with him."

"..." Gao Songdeng remained silent. She could not quite understand the other party's feelings. After all, in her opinion, this was not exploitation, but a kind of intimate communication of the soul.

Seeing this, Su Shi put down his hand and stared at her and asked, "Xiao Deng, you must have a good impression of Mr. Tianna, right?"

"Yes, I want to respond to Lin's expectations and become his god." Gao Songdeng nodded with a serious expression.

"My Lord God..." Su Shi smiled helplessly, "Xiao Deng, your words are always hard to understand, just like your lyrics."

"Ah! Sorry, I said something weird again." Gao Songdeng lowered his head apologetically.

"It's okay, Xiao Deng. We are a community with a shared destiny as we will form a band for life. Don't be so reserved towards us like strangers." Su Shi comforted him gently.

"Okay..." Takamatsu Deng relaxed.

"Actually... I didn't quite understand Xiao Deng's lyrics before, but after the concert, I gradually understood that they were probably the cry of my heart as well."

Su Shi walked up to her and said, "Thank you, Xiao Deng, for not giving up on me. This allowed me to realize this."

"That..." Takamatsu Deng tried hard to organize his words to say something.

"Okay, Xiao Deng, it's getting late, I should go back." Su Shi adjusted the violin case strap on his shoulder and walked past her. "As for whether or not to ask Mr. Tianna about Xiao Xiang, that's up to you, Xiao Deng. Goodbye."

"Su Shi!" Gao Songdeng turned around and shouted.

Hearing this cry, Su Shi stopped and said, "I guess I will never forget Crychic for the rest of my life."

Gao Songdeng was slightly stunned, then said with a firm look: "Yeah, me too."

...

In Akabane's rental house, Tian Nalin picked up his phone to check for new messages and found that it was from Takamatsu Deng again.

Deng: Lin, do you know Xiaoxiang?

"It seems that Su Shi and the others have finally told Deng Bao about this." Tian Nalin thought, "Luckily I didn't leak Teacher Daxiang's information to Deng Bao before, otherwise he would probably eat me alive."

Feeling relieved in his heart, Tian Nalin typed back: Yes, Miss Xiangzi and I had a cooperative relationship, but it has ended now.

Deng: I heard from Su Shi that Lin knows the reason why Xiaoxiang distanced himself from me.

Tian Nalin: Because Miss Xiangzi cares about you very much, she wants to stay away from you. As for the specific situation, please forgive me for not being able to reveal too much.

Deng: Just like you are now, Lin?

When Tian Nalin saw this message, he was stunned for a second, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

He replied: The situation is somewhat similar. We both have a psychological barrier that we cannot overcome. Perhaps only time can eliminate it.

Deng: I understand.

Deng: Lin, will you come to our future live shows?

Tian Nalin: I will definitely come, because I love the singing of lights the most.

Deng: Thank you, Lin.

Deng: I will let you know once the time is set.

Tian Nalin: I will go to support everyone.

After chatting with Takamatsu Deng for a few words, Tian Nalin said "good night" and ended the conversation.

...

For a period of time afterwards, Tian Nalin, who had some free time, focused on dealing with the driver's license issue and no longer took the initiative to meet the girls.

The driving test process in Japan is similar to that in China, both requiring a written exam and a driving test. The difference is that the written test in Japan only takes one test, while in China it is divided into two parts: Part 1 and Part 4.

Since Tian Nalin already knew how to drive and was an experienced driver, he only needed to get used to driving in the opposite direction and the rules of driving on the side of the road.

When he registered, he specifically explained this situation to the driving school, and he was soon arranged to take a written test on traffic regulations (Subjects 1+4), which he easily passed using his photographic memory.

The only thing that troubled him was that since the climate had officially entered the rainy season, there was often continuous rain falling from the sky, and it would last for the entire day, making travel very inconvenient.

In this unique climate, the combination of moisture and heat creates a humid, damp environment, making it difficult for laundry to dry. It's a true paradise for mold. Sunny weather is even worse, scorching the city like a steamer thanks to the urban heat island effect. Even the slightest bit of exercise makes you drenched in sweat, leaving clothes sticking to you uncomfortably.

This made Tian Nalin sigh that even if he traveled through time, he could not escape this annoying plum rain season. It was like the fate of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Fortunately, he spent money to install air conditioning in his rental house, so as long as he can afford the electricity bill, he can temporarily escape the influence of the bad weather.

However, when he thought of the family conditions of teacher Daxiang next door, Tian Nalin couldn't help but mourn for him for a second, hoping that the girl could survive this summer safely.

Chapter 6: Encounter at Driving School

After a while, Tian Nalin applied for a temporary driver's license with the help of the driving school and prepared to start driving training.

However, the so-called driving training is actually just a formality for the instructors to see his true level. If he passes the test, he will be arranged to take the corresponding test (Subject 2 + Subject 3).

So he looked at the weather forecast and picked a relatively sunny Saturday, and went to the waiting room on the first floor of the driving school to wait for the coach's arrangements.

This multifunctional waiting room, similar in layout to a bank lobby, features uniformly colored plastic chairs and clear floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a view of the training grounds. The dehumidifier is fully air-conditioned, and there's a loudspeaker and large screen announcing trainees boarding the trains for practice, creating a user-friendly design.

When Tian Nalin walked into the waiting room, there were not many people inside, only about a dozen students, so he immediately noticed Bingchuan Saye sitting in the corner. The other party was wearing light-colored casual clothes, and his image was as capable and neat as ever.

Hikawa Sayo also saw him coming and was slightly surprised before she stood up and greeted him, "Good morning, Tenna-san. Are you here for driving training as well?"
