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

It doesn’t matter whether the former is realized or not, but if the latter is not realized, the child will have to be careful with the feather duster tonight.

However, if under any circumstances, I have to bring back Shiina Riki who may leave the team in the future.

So when Aine leaves the team, will you choose to bring her back under any circumstances?

Will not.

...In fact, I might have persuaded Aine to stick to her choice, because this band is really not suitable for her.

After all, Aine plays in a band just to get attention.

But can this band, which is full of pressure, really achieve its goal of making Aiyin stand out?

Not only that, it might even put her under so much pressure that she'd run away crying.

"If Shiina Riki quits the band due to academics or other reasons... there's nothing we can do about it."

Chen Xinghua said in a low voice.

After all, it's just a high school band.

Does anyone really think that a high school band can play for life?

Pessimistic? Chen Xinghua feels that his views are indeed quite pessimistic.

But in the real world, let alone a band formed by a high school girl on a whim, even if there are financial interests and professional bands that have supported each other for many years, how many of them can last a lifetime?

What's more, Deng is a high school band that has basically no band planning and performs wherever it wants. The atmosphere is even more depressing than that of a professional band.

According to common sense, this kind of band is like the high school bands that appear in Shimokitazawa from time to time, and will disband sooner or later.

The only difference is how long it takes to disband and how it is disbanded.

"You can't force someone to stay in the band."

"I'm sorry, Deng, for suddenly saying something so discouraging."

Chen Xinghua suddenly realized that he shouldn't have said such extremely pessimistic words to Deng.

He felt he should say something optimistic like "Our band will never break up."

But she will encounter this tragic situation sooner or later, Chen Xinghua said in his heart.

Because Deng's band is even worse than the usual bands that appear on campus at any time. At least those bands don't have an obvious thunder like Shiina Riki and a hidden thunder like Nagasaki Motoyo.

So this is a minefield? There are almost more mines than instruments!

Chen Xinghua complained in his heart.

"We can definitely form one."

Deng leaned forward a little.

"Think brightly, Deng. Even if we don't form a band, we can still be friends."

Chen Xinghua looked at the gloomy Deng and found a way out for her in advance.

Even if I don't tell her, will she not face this situation?

Not necessarily.

The cruel reality is here, and you can't avoid it just because you want to.

But even if we can't form a lifelong band, we can still be lifelong friends.

Although the latter is difficult to achieve, it is at least much easier to achieve than the former.

“If we can’t form a lifelong band, we can still be lifelong friends.”

After taking a look at Chen Xinghua's black pupils, Deng shifted his gaze elsewhere to cover up the increasingly heavy gravity in his eyes.

"Deng, think about it this way, if Lixi's drumming was terrible and Sushi's bass became guitar, would you still form a band with them?"

Chen Xinghua gave an example.

"Yeah, I can, but how can I play the bass like a guitar?"

Deng complained.

"do not mind the details."

Chen Xinghua said seriously, "It's possible to play the bass like a guitar."

...just like it's possible to play the guitar and then the bass.

Kita-san, don’t you agree?

Chen Xinghua persecuted Xiduo in his heart again.

"I'm just going to assume that their skills are really bad... but in this situation, you're still willing to form a band with them."

"Have you ever wondered why?"

Deng looked down at the familiar brown table and wondered why he wanted to form a band with everyone.

Oh, it seems that the first group meeting of the "CRYCHIC" band was held in this coffee shop.

It was at this table that Xiangzi told me and everyone else that everyone in "CRYCHIC" is a "community of shared destiny playing music together."

"A community of shared destiny"... Deng understood what he wanted a long time ago. It was a "community of shared destiny", a community that was interconnected, interdependent, coexisted and prospered together, and formed a common destiny and future.

“Because we are a community with a shared destiny.”

The light replied.

Chen Xinghua drank half a cup of milk tea in big gulps. He always felt that Deng’s words were a little difficult to understand.

A community of shared destiny...it should be a kind of friendship.

86

Chapter 86 The lamp helped me, so I want to help the lamp.

"Anyway, Deng, you formed a band because you wanted to remain friends with them. You don't have to achieve extraordinary musical achievements."

Chen Xinghua put forward the conclusion that although he did not fully understand the lamp, it did not mean that he did not understand the lamp at all.

He was still able to initially understand the lamp's intention...just not completely.

"That's right, isn't it?"

"not like this."

Deng clenched his fists and placed them in front of his chest.

"Ok?"

Chen Xinghua was a little confused. If Deng’s idea was not what he guessed, then what would it be like?

"I want to be friends with you."

Deng said to Chen Xinghua, "Can you always be my friend?"

The synonym of "a lifetime" is sometimes "always". After all, if it continues continuously, doesn't that mean a lifetime?

But obviously, the average male high school student would not consider it a synonym for lifelong.

"We are already friends."

Chen Xinghua glanced at Deng. So that was what Deng was thinking. So, his idea seemed to be correct.

Deng wants to form a lifelong band with them because he wants to be friends with them for life.

If you think about it from this perspective...

Chen Xinghua narrowed his eyes slightly.

Even if we don’t form a band, we can still achieve the goal of the lights.

Let’s not talk about Aine for now.

As for Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki, even if the nameless band Deng disbanded, they would probably still remain friends with Deng.

...After all, when she heard that Deng wanted to be with her for the rest of her life, Nagasaki Suyo agreed without hesitation.

As for Shiina Riki... I always feel that her relationship with Deng is not a friendship, but a relationship between an idol and a fan who admires the idol.

Chen Xinghua has already started thinking about how to deal with the band's affairs after it disbands.

After all, a vassal's vassal is not my vassal, and a friend's friend may not be my friend.

Forcing a group of people who don't get along together to form a band... there's only one outcome: a massive explosion! The longer they're tied together, the more intense the conflicts build up, and the more severe the explosion.

Whichever way you look at it, the band of lights is diving towards hell.

"Deng, what do you think Suyo and Shiina Riki were before they became the bassist and drummer in the band?"

"Friend or stranger?"

"A community with a shared destiny."

Deng replied that it was a community that would never be separated.

But didn’t he understand this? Deng observed Chen Xinghua’s slightly puzzled face.

Chen Xinghua tapped the table with his index finger. A community of shared destiny... should mean friends.

"So what happens after we take away the band relationship? Are we still a community of destiny?"

Deng nodded and looked at Chen Xinghua with anticipation.

Are we a community with a shared future?

Although Chen Xinghua read anticipation in Deng's eyes, he didn't understand where this anticipation came from.

"So Deng, would it matter if Li Xi couldn't participate in the band activities temporarily one day because of something very important?"

"Isn't it enough as long as you and her are still friends?"

Chen Xinghua raised his cup and drank the rest of the milk tea.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

He stood up and took the rolled-up bill from the table. Then, as he was about to walk to the counter to pay, he turned to the lamp and spoke as if he remembered something important.

"And thank you for what happened that day."

Chen Xinghua always felt that if others helped him, he should help back to the best of his ability.

That night, Deng helped him stop the female gangster who wanted to lead him to Dalong.

Although if Deng hadn't held his hand, he wouldn't have ended up in that situation.

But no matter what, the light helped him.

The lamp helped me, so I want to help the lamp.

And no matter what, these high school girls are at least much better than those uneducated will-o'-the-wisp girls.

"I am leaving."

Deng lowered his head and murmured, "I really want to be a human."

Deng knew that although Chen Xinghua respected him very much, he still could not fully understand him.

That's why Deng wants to become a human being who can convey emotions to others.

In this way, he and everyone can understand me, and I can convey the feelings in my heart to everyone.

……

By the time Chen Xinghua returned home, bathed in moonlight and starlight, carrying the heavy box containing the musical keyboard, the clock had already pointed to seven o'clock.

At this time, Goto Ichiri was sitting in her room, constantly improving her guitar skills under the guidance of "Goto Ichiri", and she had no idea what wonderful things had happened between her childhood sweetheart and the pink-haired guitar girl she didn't know.

"Erli went to sleep?"

Chen Xinghua shook his head and didn't see Goto Erri, who would rush towards him with a smile at the door when he came home in the past.

He put the music keyboard in his room, then took out the folded map from the closet and spread it out on the floor.

This is a simple map of Hanegaoka Girls' Academy.

After spending a few minutes reviewing the topography of Yuqiu Girls' Academy, Chen Xinghua folded the map and put it back in the closet.

Still, I haven't found anything unusual about Hanegaoka Girls' Academy from the chat records between Aine and Deng.
