"Well...I don't want to go through that again. The band broke up."
This time it was Aine's turn to hesitate. "Um... isn't a lifetime too long? According to the average age, we're grandmothers who can live to 90."
"Chihaya-san, aren't you willing..." A dark cloud of frustration spread over Takamatsu's head.
"No, no, I just think that things that happen in your lifetime should be treated with caution."
Aine quickly explained, "Takamatsu-san, we've only known each other for less than two days now. How about we set a short-term goal first, like trying it for a month?"
However, Takamatsu Deng's mood became increasingly depressed. The girl lowered her head, her chin almost touching her chest.
Seeing this, Aine rolled her eyes and advised, "Takamatsu-san, I'm not sure if I can play in a band forever, but how about we form a team first and then we can talk about this later?"
"Then... Chihaya-san, you absolutely cannot quit halfway..."
“Ah~ I get it.” Aine said helplessly, “I always feel like every word you say, Takamatsu-san, is so heavy.”
"I'm sorry Chihaya-san..."
"You don't have to apologize, Takamatsu-san. This isn't your fault."
Chapter 14 The Secret Was Leaked
RiNG Hall.
As Nagasaki Suyo took the initiative to explain, the misunderstanding was quickly resolved.
"...This is what happened. Thank you, Li Xi, for taking the initiative to protect me. I am really grateful." Su Shi said with a smile.
"I understand." Li Xi nodded unmoved. "In that case, I'll go back to work."
Then Su Shi said to Tian Nalin, "Excuse me, Mr. Tian Na, I have something I want to consult you about. Could you please talk to me?"
"Oh...ok."
Although Tian Nalin was very confused, he still agreed and followed Su Shi to the coffee shop on the second floor.
As soon as the two of them sat down, a waiter came over to ask about their service.
This is a girl with brown shoulder-length hair, two star-shaped buns on her head, and two small red star hair accessories on her bangs. She has a cheerful and lively personality. She is the lead guitarist of Poppin'Party, Toyama Kaoru, who is known as the "ancestor of the band."
"Excuse me, what would you two like to order? We've recently launched a couple's set menu at a very reasonable price."
"I'm sorry, Miss Toyama, we are not a couple. Please, a cup of hot Earl Grey tea will be enough."
"Huh? Sir, do you know me?" Toyama Xiangcheng's purple pupils slightly opened.
"Of course, Poppin' Party's performance was incredibly moving. I loved it. As user Yama-san put it, it was just sparkling and heart-pounding. (kirakira, dokidoki)"
"Oh! Sir, you actually know this. Thank you so much for your support to us." Toyama Xiangcheng said energetically.
"I should thank Ms. Toyama for such a wonderful performance..."
After exchanging polite words, Tian Nalin looked to the side and asked, "Excuse me, Miss Su Shi, what would you like to drink?"
"I'll have an Earl Grey tea too." Su Shi replied with a fake smile on his face.
"Okay, two servings of hot Earl Grey tea. Please wait a moment, guests." After bowing slightly, Toyama Xiangcheng skipped towards the kitchen. It was obvious that the girl was very happy to meet her fans.
Tian Nalin withdrew his gaze and continued to ask, "Ms. Su Shi, can you tell me what happened now?"
I don't know why Soyorin came to me. I've never met her before. It's really strange...
Su Shi looked calm when she heard the inner voice again. With her intelligence, she had already figured out the mechanism of the strange voice. As long as Tian Nalin didn't think about things related to her, he wouldn't hear the other person's inner voice.
So Su Shi immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she could use it to find out information about Toyokawa Shoko.
"This is what I saw, Mr. Tianna. I saw you and Xiaoxiang together on the commercial street last weekend, so I wanted to ask you about her recent situation. I wonder if that's okay?" Su Shi crossed her slender hands on her chin, with a bright smile on her face.
Tian Nalin was slightly surprised to learn that his meeting with Xiangzi was seen by the other party.
[Oh no! Given Su Shi's stubbornness, could she have secretly followed Xiangzi and discovered something?]
The next second, he denied it.
[No, if Su Shi knew that Xiangzi had become a working girl in Tokyo, why would she come to ask me?]
Thinking of this, Tian Nalin regained his composure and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Su Shi, this should be a matter of personal privacy. Without Miss Fengchuan's permission, I can't disclose it at will."
However, at this time Su Shi learned this through his inner voice, and his mind had already begun to run wild with thoughts.
"Xiaoxiang... is so poor that she has to work?"
"What does this mean? Isn't the Toyokawa family still doing well? Could it be..."
Su Shi, who had experienced family divorce, judged others by himself and immediately guessed whether Xiangzi's parents were divorced, and then solved the mystery of the latter's sudden transfer to another school and leaving Yuezhisen.
"No wonder Xiaoxiang didn't come to practice during that period, and his dress became much more simple when he left the team. So this is what happened..."
At this moment, Su Shi felt that she was too stupid. Such a major change happened in her friend's family, but she didn't notice it and was just feeling sad.
Then, following this line of thought, Su Shi gradually figured out some of the details.
"So, Xiao Mu knew about this from the beginning, so he cooperated with Xiao Xiang and said that? It was really hard for him to hide it from me..."
Seeing Su Shi biting her lips lightly and remaining silent for a long time, Tian Nalin sensed something was wrong. The former's reaction was completely inconsistent with the character's personality.
[Strange, why didn't Su Shi ask any further questions? Did she really know something? ]
Tian Nalin immediately spoke up, "Ms. Su Shi, may I ask what your relationship is with Ms. Fengchuan, and why are you investigating her?"
Su Shi's thoughts were interrupted, and a hint of displeasure flashed through her heart. She raised her voice and said, "Xiao Xiang and I were friends from the same school. We even formed a band. But a year ago, Xiao Xiang suddenly transferred to another school and I haven't heard from him since. That's why I came to Mr. Tianna to inquire about his situation."
At this point, Su Shi's expression turned sad. "If possible, could Mr. Tianna please tell me where Xiaoxiang has transferred to? We are all really worried about her."
"I'm sorry, I'm not too sure about this. Miss Fengchuan and I just know each other and we're not very familiar with each other." Tian Nalin said perfunctorily.
[Anyway, you'll know in a couple of days that Teacher Daxiang is attending school in Yugaoka, so I won't tell you.]
"Higaoka... So it's over there." A flash of light flashed through the misty blue light.
Just as she was about to continue trying to get more information about Xiangzi, a white-haired girl with a cart suddenly came up to them, pulled Tian Nalin's sleeve and said:
"I want to play guitar."
Tian Nalin smiled and said, "Mr. Yao Lenai, I'm talking to someone right now. Can you wait a moment?"
"Play the guitar, now." Yao Lenai continued to pull his sleeves indifferently.
"Okay, okay." Tian Nalin stood up. "I'm sorry, Miss Su Shi. Let's talk next time when we have time."
"It's okay, Mr. Tianna, please go ahead and do your thing. I'll sit for a while." Su Shi said hypocritically.
"Goodbye then."
Seeing Tian Nalin following him, he asked Lenai to walk straight out of the cafe, and then wait by the stairs, as if he wanted him to help carry the guitar case.
Seeing this scene, Tian Nalin felt a little regretful about seeking cooperation with the other party. This cat might be dependent on him.
[No, the cat's real owner is Rikki. We need to make things clear later.]
A voice suddenly rang in his mind, and Shiina Riki, who was concentrating on working at the bar, was so startled that his hand trembled and he accidentally spilled a puddle of water on the wooden table.
She turned her head and saw Tian Nalin and Yao Lenai going downstairs together.
"This guy always has some weird ideas. I don't know why that wild cat is looking for him."
Complaining in his heart, Shiina Riki picked up a rag and wiped away the water stains.
Chapter 15 Poor
Seeing Tian Nalin leave, Nagasaki Suyo took out her mobile phone, opened the chat software, and sent a message to her friend to verify the information she had just obtained.
"Xiao Mu, are Xiao Xiang's parents divorced?"
After a few seconds, the message showed as read, but there was no reply.
Su Shi continued to send: "Is Xiaoxiang currently attending school in Yuqiu?"
Seeing that the message had been read but not replied, Su Shi realized that the intelligence he had just obtained was true, otherwise, with Ruo Yemu's personality, he would definitely deny it.
She put her cell phone on the table, looked out the window with a melancholy look, and rubbed her index fingers, which were covered with a thin layer of calluses, unconsciously.
After a few minutes, Su Shi stood up and walked to the bar and said, "Li Xi-chan, can you spare some time to talk to me?"
"I'm at work." Shiina Riki refused coldly.
At this time, Toyama Kasumi came out from the kitchen and said, "It's okay, Li Xi-chan. There are no customers now anyway. It would be a waste if you don't go to that cup of Earl Grey tea."
"Tsk..."
Li Xi didn't want to pay attention to Su Shi. After all, she had never had a good impression of the latter. However, Toyama Kasumi was a senior, so she had to give her face and sit down.
"Tell me what it is."
"Richi-chan, do you want to reorganize Crychic?"
"Reorganize Crychic...are you serious?" Li Xi looked at him intently.
"Yes." Su Shi nodded very seriously.
After a moment's thought, she, as smart as she is, has figured out why Toyokawa Shoko quit the team and cut ties with them.
The other party probably encountered a major change and had no time to take care of the band, and his self-esteem was also at work, so he didn't want them to know about his miserable situation.
Su Shi could understand this very well. She had also experienced the pain of family separation. However, after living with her mother, her material conditions improved. She was no longer as miserable as Xiangzi.
So now we just need to solve these two problems together. The best solution Su Shi can think of is to reorganize Crychic, invite Xiangzi to join, and then make a quick commercial debut in a short time.
In this way, without hurting Xiangzi's self-esteem, her friend can earn money by his own efforts. She will pretend to be ignorant of the situation and everything will return to the way it was before.
"I must let Xiaoxiang feel the warmth of the band (family) again, because we are a community with a shared destiny!"
With such a belief, Su Shi's eyes became more determined, "I would like to ask Li Xi to go with me to find Xiao Deng and reorganize Crychic."
Li Xi raised her eyebrows, "Why did you suddenly do this? Is it related to that man?"
"They're somewhat related... He's Xiaoxiang's friend," Su Shi said, tangling her fingers around his hair. "I just heard a little news from him. Xiaoxiang had no choice but to leave the team, so I want to clear up this misunderstanding."
"Xiangzi..." When Li Xi heard the name, he immediately saw through Su Shi's plan, but did not say it out loud.
When Su Shi saw that the former did not refuse immediately, he knew there was a chance.
"Lixi-chan, if the misunderstanding can be resolved, then Xiaodeng will be able to get over the shadow of the band's disbandment, and everyone can be reunited and play in the band happily like before. This is what Lixi-chan hopes for."
When she heard that she could help Takamatsu Deng, Lixi fell into a fierce inner struggle. Just like the other party said, she also longed to reunite with the person she admired, but she was afraid that Deng would refuse.
After hesitating for a while, Li Xi finally made up his mind and agreed, "Okay, let's go to the entrance of Yuqiu tomorrow to wait for someone. If Deng is willing, I will agree to reunite the band."
She had met Takamatsu Deng several times on the train, and naturally recognized the school he attended by the school uniform he wore.
However, upon hearing the name of the school, Su Shi was surprised: "Huh? Deng is also in Yugaoka?"
"That's what it means."
"Xiao Xiang is in Yuqiu." Su Shi said puzzledly, "It's strange, why didn't they get along even though they were in the same school? I remember Xiao Xiang always liked Deng."
Li Xi immediately guessed what was going on and stood up by slamming the table.
"Damn it! How dare this guy ignore the lights!"
Imagining her own Dengbao mustering up the courage to step forward and say hello, but being ignored and injured by Xiangzi, Lixi's anger grew, because she had been treated like this in junior high school in Yuqiu.
"I'm going to call that guy and ask him."
After saying that, Li Xi took out his cell phone, found Xiangzi's number, and dialed it directly.
Su Shize was stunned by the former's behavior and forgot to stop him for a moment.
...
On the other side, Xiaoxiang, who was working as a customer service representative at an e-commerce company in Shinjuku, felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.
She took it out and checked it. She was quite surprised to see that it was Li Xi calling. After all, in her opinion, she and the other party had nothing in common unless it was something important.
After thinking about it, Xiangzi moved the mouse and clicked the [Start Break] button on the screen, then walked to the stairwell to answer the phone.
"Shiina-san, what can I do for you?"
Unexpectedly, Li Xi's angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
