In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

Thinking of this, Chen Xinghua nodded, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing a faint smile.

But unlike his happy mood at the moment, Nagasaki Suyo, who was lying in her room, was in an extremely bad mood, just like a girl whose boyfriend was taken away by a yellow-haired girl.

In the dark room, Nagasaki Suyo's face was illuminated by the dim moonlight from outside the window and the dim light from the mobile phone screen, looking a little gloomy.

"Nothing, the band just decided to hold a live show this weekend."

The message sent by Chen Xinghua was imprinted in her eyes, her mind, and her heart.

She almost forgot that Chen Xinghua was just a supporting keyboardist, not a keyboardist belonging to "CRYCHIC" like Toyokawa Shoko in the past.

So what he said before was all a lie? He won't stay with us forever as he said.

...Just like Xiaoxiang.

Nagasaki Suyo clearly remembers that Toyokawa Shoko once promised her and everyone that "CRYCHIC" is a community of shared destiny connecting everyone.

But she also remembered that Toyokawa Shoko was the first to give up this community of shared destiny.

While the band's keyboardist can certainly abandon his own commitment, what about the band's backup keyboardist?

…Will there be exceptions?

Nagasaki Suyo read Chen Xinghua's messages over and over again until her phone's battery ran out, until she could recite every message Chen Xinghua had sent her, until her heart began to ache again.

So should I go see his band's live performance? Nagasaki Suyo asked herself.

In a sense, Nagasaki Suyo has not yet gotten over the rainy night when 'CRYCHIC' disbanded.

253

Chapter 253: Maybe he was blocked.

On the day when the band finished its second live performance, a sudden typhoon blew the sunny dolls under the eaves, then turned around and blew the raindrops over the umbrellas and onto the clothes of the pedestrians on the road.

"Well……"

Nagasaki Suyo tried hard to hold the umbrella forward and leaned forward, trying to use this useless action to block the attack from the typhoon.

But the cruel facts of physics proved to her that the coverage area of ​​an umbrella alone could not keep her clothes even a little dry.

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her eyes, slowly walked down the stairs, and reached for the ribs of the umbrella with her left hand, ready to close it.

Although it was raining heavily outside, fortunately we finally arrived at the booked destination.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Suyo pushed open the door of STARRY, folded her umbrella, and casually placed it on the umbrella stand on the side.

For Nagasaki Suyo, who often surfs the Internet, it is not difficult to search for the time and place of the next live performance of the band based on the name of the band.

"welcome."

Ijichi Xingge sat bored behind the counter, resting her hand on her cheek, her lifeless eyes half-closed.

"Gui'an."

Nagasaki Suyo clumsily imitated the etiquette of a young lady. After all, everyone in Yuezhisen, an academy full of young ladies, did the same.

"Excuse me, how much is the ticket here?"

As she spoke, she studied Ichichi Hoshige's face.

She was dressed in a mature black shirt, had neatly combed long yellow hair, and a lifeless face that was perfect for slacking off... You could tell at a glance that she was a single, mature lady in her thirties.

Ichichi Hoshige yawned and spit out a reasonable value.

"Thank you, please give me one."

Nagasaki Suyo carefully opened her wallet, which had been soaked by the heavy rain, and with her deft fingers developed from practicing bass, she took out a few bills and placed them on the counter.

Ichichi Xingge collected the money and gave him the ticket in return.

After collecting the ticket, Nagasaki Suyo looked at the overall layout of the Live House and tried to find a seat in the corner.

That corner against the wall looks perfect.

Nagasaki Motoyo sat on a seat against the wall, deliberately shrinking her body behind the wall, waiting for the band to finish their performance.

"There are so few people in the audience today... I think I can count them on my hands."

Nagasaki Suyo looked at the extremely pitiful number of spectators and nervously moved her fingers.

...Did Xinghua lie like Xiangzi? He clearly agreed to stay with the band forever, but in the end he was the first to abandon the band.

As the familiar blue figure flashed before her eyes, Nagasaki Suyo moved her fingers harder and harder, almost breaking her fingernails.

...Wait a minute, in front of you?

As if she had noticed something unusual, Nagasaki Motoyo's body subconsciously shrank behind the wall, but her sight went against her subconscious behavior and stretched out of the wall without authorization, intending to look at the blue figure.

"...It's Xiaoxiang? Ah! Ah?"

After just one more glance, Nagasaki Motoyo realized the true identity of the blue figure. This was because she stared at the group photo of 'CRYCHIC' every night, and she was familiar with this blue figure over and over again.

Why does Xiangzi appear here?

Nagasaki Suyo could hardly suppress her inner excitement. She wanted to rush out of her seat, grab Toyokawa Shoko's hand, and ask her frantically why she left 'CRYCHIC' and why she appeared in this place.

But Nagasaki Suyo finally suppressed her inner excitement, just trembling her body, and did not shout out the suppressed emotions in her heart.

Because if I rush out now and confront Xiangzi... it will cause trouble for everyone.

Nagasaki Sushi didn't want to cause trouble for Chen Xinghua and strangers.

At this moment, the door of the recording studio was pushed open by a man's arm, and then a man holding a keyboard came out.

"Hi, Xiangzi, good evening... Why are your clothes all wet? Don't you have an umbrella?"

Chen Xinghua waved helplessly at Toyokawa Shoko.

The thin clothes on the blue girl have been soaked through by the rain and are tightly stuck to her body, outlining her curvy figure. It can be called the wet body welfare commonly seen in welfare comics.

"Want to wipe it off?"

Chen Xinghua took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Toyokawa Shoko.

On a rainy night, Toyokawa Shoko was drenched by the rain. These key elements mixed together, evoking memories in the mind of Nagasaki Suyo who was sitting nearby.

'CRYCHIC' also disbanded on a rainy night like this.

At that time, Toyokawa Shoko's clothes and hair were covered with water stains, as if she was so busy that she had no time or energy to take waterproofing measures.

In this panicked state, she walked into the recording studio of 'CRYCHIC', refused the handkerchief that Nagasaki Suyo handed to her to wipe the water stains, and also refused the kind intention of asking if something bad had happened to her.

Toyokawa Shoko just stared at everyone in 'CRYCHIC' and announced the final disbandment of 'CRYCHIC'.

"I have an umbrella."

Shoko Toyokawa shook her body, naturally took the tissue handed to her by Chen Xinghua, and wiped it on her face.

"But it's raining so hard outside...it's just as good as not bringing it."

Shoko Toyokawa sighed deeply, then wiped her cheeks vigorously.

"Yes, the typhoon outside is too strong. Only one umbrella... of course it's not enough."

Chen Xinghua shook his head and sighed.

"The weather in the summer is always so changeable. The weather forecast just a few days ago said it would be sunny for the next few days."

Looking at this familiar yet somewhat different scene, Nagasaki Suyo's brain fell into chaos again, and her tears once again burst out of her eyes.

She didn't know why Chen Xinghua had such a good relationship with Toyokawa Shoko, nor did she know why Chen Xinghua didn't tell them about Toyokawa Shoko.

She only knew that she might make the same mistake again.

Everything is like a replay of the rainy day when 'CRYCHIC' disbanded.

...But if she doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes, what should she do?

Was it the same negative behavior she had shown towards Xiaoxiang before? Nagasaki Suyo felt that her previous actions of sending text messages to Toyokawa Shoko requesting "Resurrection of CRYCHIC" were futile.

...Maybe she even blocked me.

254

Chapter 254: Three times is enough.

So, should we resort to more extreme measures? Nagasaki Suyo intertwined her fingers and trembled, pressing her chin against them to prevent her face from falling onto the table due to weakness.

Three times the truth never happens. She has already experienced two similar blows.

One time, her parents divorced, and she could only watch her small family completely fall apart.

Another time was when the 'CRYCHIC' that gave her a sense of family atmosphere was shattered. She had obviously grown up, but she could only watch her new home fall apart like her past self.

...So I can't go through it a third time, even if it costs me a heavy price.

Nagasaki Suyo bent down, trying to cover her body in this clumsy way so that Chen Xinghua and Toyokawa Shoko would not notice her.

But the increasingly intense look in her eyes as she looked at Chen Xinghua and Toyokawa Shoko could not be concealed at all by this clumsy method.

I'm afraid that even if Shiina Riki, who doesn't understand human nature, comes over and looks directly into Nagasaki Motoyo's blue eyes, he will immediately understand that something seems to be wrong with this guy.

But no one is so bored that they would choose to pay attention to the corner where Nagasaki Suyo is.

"Hongxia, after the performance, can I borrow Xiangzi's bathroom in your house?"

As he spoke, Chen Xinghua turned and looked at his yellow-haired captain.

"If you keep wearing wet clothes, you're likely to catch a cold."

"No problem... There's hot water in my bathroom 24 hours a day, and I have a few extra sets of pajamas in the closet in my room."

Ijichi Hongxia subconsciously shook her triangular yellow ahoge and kept a sunny smile on her lips very naturally.

"You can change Xiangzi's wet clothes."

But after looking at Toyokawa Shoko's figure to see if it was suitable for her pajamas, Hongxia's smile immediately disappeared, replaced by a frustrated look.

Really... why is it so big? It's not convenient for exercise at all. Hong Xia thought so in her heart, and her eyes stopped at Toyokawa Xiangzi's chest with dissatisfaction, looking at the size of it.

…It’s only a little bit bigger. It’s nothing big. I’m still growing and can still grow. Hong Xia compared her size and made this self-deceptive judgment in her heart.

"You can iron your clothes after you take them off."

Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth, as if she wanted to reject Ijichi Hongka's kindness. She didn't need to borrow pajamas from others to maintain her own body temperature, thus completely eliminating the possibility of catching a cold.

...Whether she could do this or not was not important. What was important was that she felt she couldn't accept help from others for no reason.

Ever since being kicked out of the Toyokawa family, and her only remaining positive asset becoming her self-esteem, Toyokawa Shoko has been particularly concerned about this.

But after considering Chen Xinghua's face, Toyokawa Shoko temporarily suppressed her awkward self-esteem, turned around and threw the wiped tissue into the trash can.

If I refuse, it will make him look embarrassed.

So I can't refuse.

"Thank you very much, Hongxia-senpai."

Toyokawa Shoko said politely.

Hearing this, Hong Xia happily bent down, stretched out her hand to lift the heavy object, and was about to lift it onto the stage where she would be used later.

"I also want to thank you for coming to watch our final performance and for contributing to our final performance."

Having said that, Hong Xia sighed.

According to her statistics, more than 50 percent of high school bands get most of their ticket sales from their family and friends.

Although after having Pochi-chan, the End Band has surpassed these high school bands and can easily achieve sales without having to ask friends to sell tickets.

But after removing Pochi-chan, what is the difference between the End Band and ordinary high school bands, especially their captain? Hong Xia asked herself.

"Shoko, add 500 yen to your ticket and you can buy a drink at the drink counter over there... I recommend hot cocoa and hot milk."

Chen Xinghua held the music keyboard and gave advice to Toyokawa Shoko based on his own experience.

"Because hot drinks can warm the body...think of it as a substitute for taking a nice hot bath."

He looked at Toyokawa Shoko's blue hair with some helplessness. It was covered with various water stains.

Toyokawa Shoko nodded at Chen Xinghua, indicating that she already understood.

Just at this moment, a pink-haired girl stumbled in from the door, covering her head.
