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

"Interesting woman."

Kaname Rakuna hid in a corner in the completely opposite direction of Nagasaki Suyo, and secretly peeked out to look at Chihaya Aine and Deng.

……

The storm was brewing not only outside the practice room door, but also inside.

"Give me."

Shiina Riki seemed to have triggered some kind of Pstd. He stretched out his hand to Chen Xinghua a little crazily, asking for the music score that had been modified by the other party.

"Ok?"

Chen Xinghua instinctively retracted his hand. He felt that things were becoming increasingly wrong.

...Where exactly did the problem occur?

"show me!"

Shiina Riki said in a voice that was almost like a roar.

Chen Xinghua took a few steps back. He couldn't figure out what went wrong.

"Are you saying I'm unreliable?"

Shiina Riki asked Toyokawa Shoko, who appeared in her hallucination, "Did you appear before me because you thought I couldn't write a song worthy of the lyrics of the lamp?"

"You can always ask me questions, Lixi."

In Shiina Tateki's hallucination, Toyokawa Shoko elegantly placed her hands on her chest.

"Because I am the captain of 'CRYCHIC' and you are a member of 'CRYCHIC', so please rely on me a lot, Riki-chan."

Shiina Riki staggered as if he had received a heavy blow...

"That's an illusion."

Shiina Riki gritted her teeth. The real Toyokawa Shoko would never be like the Toyokawa Shoko in her hallucination, saying that he could come to her anytime if he had any problems.

“All she could say was…”

…'I'm here to quit this band.'

So... Shiina Riki looked at Chen Xinghua.

The Toyokawa Shoko just now was fake.

Staying up late for a long time and the irregular diet on this day brought Shiina Riki's spirit to the brink of collapse.

"What hallucination?"

Chen Xinghua quickly deleted the music score and put the tablet back in its place.

Shiina Riki did not answer Chen Xinghua.

Because from her perspective, Toyokawa Shoko's figure completely overlapped with Chen Xinghua's figure.

At that time, Toyokawa Shoko solved the problem that had troubled Shiina Riki for a long time with just a casual stroke.

And now Chen Xinghua seems to be able to solve the problem that has troubled Shiina Riki for a long time with just a casual stroke like Toyokawa Shoko.

Although Shiina Riki has not seen the music score revised by Chen Xinghua, her mind presumptuously believes that the music score revised by Chen Xinghua must be much better than hers.

Because Shoko Toyokawa can take care of all matters related to "CRYCHIC", including rehearsals, finding practice rooms, and organizing live performances.

Even if Shiina Riki stayed up all night until she vomited blood, became unconscious, or had hallucinations, she still could not do what Toyokawa Shoko could do.

Failed, failed, failed...

An intense sense of inferiority surged from the deepest part of Shiina Riki's heart, ready to drag her into the ocean of despair.

In the end, am I still inferior to you? Toyokawa Shoko.

"I'm just not as good as my sister and Feng..."

In the end, Tatsuki Shiina did not say Toyokawa Shoko's name because the name put too much pressure on her.

If Xiangzi were here, if Xiangzi were like this, he would be able to solve all the problems perfectly.

After all, the first live performance of “CRYCHIC” was so perfect, so excellent, and it didn’t seem like a live performance that could be held by a junior high school band.

All this is thanks to Toyokawa Shoko, not Shiina Tatsuki.

"Not as good as what?"

Chen Xinghua turned his back to Shiina Riki and pressed the power button on the tablet.

He turned around and prepared to face Shiina Riki.

Chapter 74: There is no one so immoral as this.

Shiina Riki lowered his head and did not answer Chen Xinghua.

She just clenched her fists tightly, letting her nails dig into her soft palms without realizing it.

Chen Xinghua took a step forward, closing the distance between himself and Shiina Riki.

...I see. I was wondering why her movements were so strange.

Shiina Tatsuki's bloodshot and lifeless eyes were reflected on Chen Xinghua's retina.

"I haven't slept in a few days."

It turns out that he was in a trance because of staying up late.

"Three days."

Shiina Riki subconsciously said to "Toyokawa Shoko".

Even though she tried very hard to separate her psychological shadow from Chen Xinghua, she failed just like in the past...

So the figure of "Toyokawa Shoko" once again overlapped with Chen Xinghua.

...What should I do to catch up with Shoko Toyokawa?

"Please give me everything you have."

In Shiina Ritsuki's hallucination, Toyokawa Shoko covered her chest, "Shiina Ritsuki."

"No, three days, you are not afraid of sudden death!"

Chen Xinghua was a little angry. "You're really asking for death by composing such an intense drum practice sheet for yourself."

As we all know, staying up late for a long time combined with strenuous exercise can greatly increase the probability of SSR "sudden death".

"I can handle it myself."

Shiina Riki spoke loudly to Chen Xinghua, but beneath this powerful voice, there was an uncontrollable weakness.

"So don't help me."

So that means I am not as good as my sister, not as good as Toyokawa Shoko.

They can handle everything on their own.

If I can't achieve the same result with my efforts...

"Do you want me to watch you kill yourself?"

Chen Xinghua looked directly into Shiina Riki's red purple pupils.

He previously thought that Shiina Riki might have stayed up all night, or at most two nights, to arrange the music.

But no one expected that she endured for three days, and after those three days, she carried out intensive drumming practice.

"Close your eyes, find a place to lie down, then think about anything and go to sleep. This is what you should do most right now."

Given Shiina Riki's current mental state, Chen Xinghua had no doubt that she might fall into the river due to mental confusion on her way home, or run a red light, or have some other accident.

After all, Shiina Riki just said, "That was an illusion." "She only said..."

Such inexplicable words.

It was obvious that her mental state was very likely to be so bad that she was seeing hallucinations.

"Instead of thinking about small things like how to arrange the music and what the band should do."

"That's no small matter."

Shiina Riki said weakly, her voice temporarily losing its previous strength.

It turns out that the thing that has been bothering me is just a trivial matter to him?

"That's the little thing."

Chen Xinghua said.

In his opinion, high school band affairs are basically trivial matters. After all, most high school students do not make a living from bands.

If you ruin your health by playing in a band, that would be a big deal.

No, no, no... Even for professional band members, it would be very tragic if they ruined their health for the band.

Because that means he (she) can no longer form a band.

Not to mention ordinary high school students.

After hearing Chen Xinghua's affirmative answer, Shiina Riki relaxed his tense spirit.

So in his eyes, everything I do is a small matter?

It turns out that my efforts have been in vain?

So Shiina Riki closed his eyes.

So Shiina Riki let the sleepiness in his heart surge into every corner of his body.

So Shiina Riki let her body fall forward, not caring whether she would hit the ground or not.

"Hey."

Chen Xinghua quickly reached out and caught Shiina Riki, "What's wrong with you?"

"He suddenly fell down."

Shiina Riki did not reply.

After releasing the energy in his heart that had been supporting him, Shiina Riki could no longer hold on.

Sometimes people stay awake just by relying on that breath.

When the energy dissipates, people will be defeated by the attack of sleepiness and finally fall asleep.

"Fell asleep?"

Chen Xinghua helped Shiina Riki up and looked carefully at her closed eyes. "This girl is a beauty when she is quiet."

But it’s this mouth...why does it put so much pressure on people?

"I have heard of people sleeping standing up when they are extremely tired."

“But this is the first time I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”

"…really fell asleep?"

Chen Xinghua saw that Shiina Riki did not refute him for a long time, so he came to this conclusion.

"This is a bit troublesome. Staying up too late really isn't good."

He looked around and didn't find anything like a sofa in the practice room.

So Chen Xinghua could only lay Shiina Riki flat on the ground.

"It's a bit troublesome now."

Chen Xinghua looked up at the dark ceiling above his head. "There's still a little time left for the practice room reservation."

"We have to get Shiina out before the scheduled time is up."

But Aine is still waiting for me outside. If I take Shiina Riki out like this, she might see me.

Chen Xinghua felt that he couldn't let Chihaya Aine see Shiina Riki in such an embarrassed state.

Because high school students of Shiina Riki's age are most concerned about face.
