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

......

As the sun set, the three former members of "CRYCHIC" talked for a long time, and seemed to be very happy because they had not been in touch for a long time.

At the end of the conversation, Deng said, "I want to hold a live show with everyone that will never end."

This live definitely doesn't include me. Chihaya Aine's foot, which was placed under the table, "accidentally" hooked onto Chen Xinghua's leg.

"Sorry, I accidentally touched your shoe."

Chihaya Aine immediately clasped her hands together and lowered her head.

"Don't feel sorry, everyone makes mistakes sometimes." Chen Xinghua said with a smile.

Nagasaki Suyo was very happy with this conversation because she saw hope for the revival of "CRYCHIC" from it.

"Now that we've discussed it, when should we start practicing?"

There is a kind of person in this world who loves to eat mixed fruit sandwiches so much that she feels very uncomfortable if she doesn't eat them for a day.

So she really wanted the assorted fruit sandwiches that had been out of stock to be restored.

But if we want to add new types of fruits to the restored mixed fruit sandwiches.

This made Miss Nagasaki Motoyo feel very embarrassed.

Either accept this new mixed fruit sandwich flavor, or...

Remove all new fruit from this mixed fruit sandwich.

"Tomorrow... Deng, can we start practicing tomorrow? I will book the time in the practice room." Shiina Riki was very excited about this conversation because she could stay by Deng's side and see Deng's live performance.

But Deng was not very happy because she saw...

Chihaya Aine and Chen Xinghua don't have much affection for this band, as if they could abandon the band at the next moment.

That won’t do. If I say I’m going to run a band for life, then I have to run a band for life.

"I'll do my best."

Go all out to form a band for life.

"How about we all join a group first?" Nagasaki Suyo said with a smile, "We can discuss anything in the group later."

"Um... could you please add me to the group?"

"If it's really inconvenient, should we postpone tomorrow's practice?"

Chen Xinghua stopped using the fork that was picking up the mousse on the plate, and a hint of doubt appeared between his brows.

Why are you asking me whether to postpone your band's practice tomorrow?

Su Shi, do you think I joined your band?

"Did you hear that? We have to practice tomorrow, don't just focus on eating." Shiina Riki frowned. She felt that Chen Xinghua was unreliable and might mess up Deng's practice.

Is this the guy who's joining the band of lights? Was he also attracted by the lights?

...We have to keep a close eye on him and not let him take away the lamp.

By the way, what kind of musical instrument does this guy play?

"Do you think I joined this band?" Chen Xinghua put down his fork and swallowed the remaining mousse in his mouth.

The hand holding the lamp under the table clenched even tighter.

54. Things are getting worse than expected

"Actually, I already have a band." Chen Xinghua raised his head and said.

"It's okay to be a supporting keyboard player, but I still want to focus my main energy on my own band."

"But don't worry if I can't keep up with the whole band if I play as a backup keyboard player."

How difficult can the music for a campus band be?

You can play it perfectly by practicing for just a few minutes.

Chen Xinghua thinks so.

"As long as you give me the sheet music in advance, I will try my best to spare time in the evenings and weekends to practice it well."

It only takes about ten minutes.

But we still have to be polite when speaking. After all, we can't put too much pressure on the high school band.

Shiina Riki clenched his fists. Who did he think he was? A talented keyboard player like Xiangzi?

If I don't practice with the band, but just take time out to practice, will I be able to play a keyboard piece worthy of the lights?

"Do you really want to let this guy join?"

Even just as a support keyboard player who comes and goes?

Nagasaki Suyo pursed her lips. She didn't want Toyokawa Shoko's keyboard player position in "CRYCHIC" to be replaced by someone else.

So Chen Xinghua’s reaction was really great.

He didn't care at all whether he would join the band or replace Shoko Toyokawa's position in "CRYCHIC".

"If anyone needs support for the keyboard player, you can contact me." Chen Xinghua took the mobile phone on the table in his hand.

If you don't need it, forget it.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go pay the bill first." Chen Xinghua stood up and walked towards the counter.

After seeing that Chen Xinghua was about to leave, Chihaya Aine also stood up.

"Um, I'm so sorry, I actually have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Chihaya Aine bowed towards the lamp.

"CRYCHIC" is not where Chihaya Aine belongs.

The gravity in Deng's eyes became more and more serious. She realized that Chihaya Aine and Chen Xinghua did not regard the band as their only belonging.

The band has encountered various crises since its inception.

................

The next day, during lunch break, we were in the utility room of Xiuhua High School.

Chen Xinghua folded his lunch box and just turned on his phone when he saw a bunch of unread messages.

The messages included those from Shoko, Kita, Chihaya Aine, and Deng.

Xiangzi's news mainly concerns Kita's teaching progress.

The messages from Xiduo were mixed. Some asked Chen Xinghua about guitar issues, some were concerned about Xiangzi's situation, and some asked when Chen Xinghua would perform live again.

But Chihaya Aine's message was very simple, just asking him what he thought of the light band.

"A typical high school band."

Chen Xinghua typed this sentence.

"Well, let's go and contribute to the end of the band." Goto Ichiri poked Chen Xinghua's shoulder.

Chen Xinghua turned his body towards Goto Ichiri.

"One mile, what do you mean?"

Goto Ichiri looked serious.

"I mean, let's go find a rhythm guitarist and lead singer."

(Ohhhh, Pochi-chan, you're finally going to carry out the lead singer kidnapping plan we've been discussing for so long.)

(But according to our plan, weren't you the only one going to recruit Xiao Xiduo? After successfully recruiting him, were you going to secretly give everyone in the band a big surprise?)

(Why bring your childhood sweetheart along?)

Shut up, Goto Ichiri said viciously in his heart.

(...Tsk, I get it, you're afraid to go alone.)

Weren't you afraid at all when you recruited Xiduo to join the band?

(Of course, you don’t even know who I am. I’m the guitar hero Goto Ichiri.)

(As soon as I showed up, I recruited Xiao Xiduo, who would later make great contributions to the band, in order to end the band.)

I can’t tell Pochi-chan about the dark history of showing off my ventriloquism in front of Kita because I was too nervous. Goto Ichiri thought silently in his heart.

Regarding Goto Ichiri's big talk, Goto Ichiri can only say that others don't understand her, but doesn't she understand herself?

This person must have made a huge mistake when trying to recruit Kita.

Why does it sound so sad to say this? Goto Ichiri lowered his head.

Chen Xinghua touched Goto Ichiri's forehead.

"It's not hot either."

Goto Ichiri shook his head and shook off Chen Xinghua's hand that was touching his forehead.

"I'm not saying that because I'm delirious."

This is a plan I have been planning for a long time before I decided to implement it.

Chen Xinghua reached out and wiped away a grain of white rice from Goto Ichiri's mouth.

"Don't eat so fast, the rice is sticking to your mouth."

"I'm just a little confused as to why you suddenly want to recruit a rhythm guitarist and lead singer for the band."

"You haven't made any friends in class yet!"

He actually wanted to challenge himself by recruiting band members instead of just making friends.

This is ten times harder than making friends.

Goto Ichiri was shaking with excitement. Could it be that among his childhood friends, he was actually a socially anxious loser who couldn't even make friends?

(Isn't that right, Pochi-chan? Or did you make a new friend?)

"I'll definitely be able to recruit new members for the final band."

Goto Ichiri puffed out his chest, took a deep breath, then stood up and walked towards the classroom upstairs with a menacing look.

"Ichiri, wait for me." Chen Xinghua hurriedly tidied up the lunch box that Goto Ichiri had eaten, and then hurriedly caught up with Goto Ichiri carrying the two lunch boxes wrapped together.

Then he saw Goto Ichiri standing in the corner at the edge of the stairs, shaking his body wildly, as if he had encountered something very bad.

Chen Xinghua turned his gaze and saw the reason for Goto Ichiri's fear.

There was a red-haired girl and her friends.

"Xiduo, I'm really sorry, we have something to ask of you."

"What's wrong?"

"Can you come to the basketball game next week?"

"Um, okay."

I have friends, I can play basketball, and I have athletic talent.

What a strong present light.

Under such a strong light of reality, Goto Ichiri, who suffers from social anxiety, was almost unrecognizable.

Well, how should I put it...it's still the familiar Goto Ichiri.

Wait, isn't this Xiduo? Chen Xinghua helped Goto Ichiri up, and then he realized that the person emitting a strong aura of presence was Xiduo.

"The real person is so scary." Goto Ichiri muttered.

In Goto Ichiri's sight, the terrifying red-haired Kita turned around and ran towards them with a smile, like an adult who had discovered that children loved to eat children.

Maybe she noticed we were spying on him and wanted to come over and eat us.

Xinghua runs.

Goto Ichiri struggled and pushed...actually he fell into Chen Xinghua's arms.

Because she didn't even have the strength to support her body.
