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

The so-called "Romeo and Juliet effect" means that when external forces that interfere with the love relationship between two lovers appear, the emotions of the two lovers will be strengthened instead, and the relationship will become more solid.

But when the external force that interferes with the love relationship between the two lovers disappears, the biggest challenge of love begins to emerge.

“Love is not about sharing hardships or happiness, but about being able to accept each other in the monotonous daily life that becomes increasingly boring.”

Life is more about the daily necessities of life rather than exciting things.

After all, how many high school students' romances that have not been tempered by reality can last?

"How can you be more conservative than some conservative adults?"

Xingge complained that this guy's view on love was like that of an old-fashioned person who traveled back from the previous era.

It’s just like the old people in the old days, they fall in love with the intention of getting married.

Goto Ichiri nodded. She felt the same way as her childhood sweetheart that if they couldn't accept each other in the increasingly boring and unchanging daily life, then they shouldn't get married.

And it just so happened that she and her childhood sweetheart met the conditions to be able to accept each other in the increasingly boring and unchanging daily life.

Because they have been childhood sweethearts since elementary school.

From elementary school to junior high school, and from junior high school to high school, it’s a full nine years.

Is it because she feels that lovers will eventually become family, Hong Xia put down the phone she was adjusting, and family members are able to tolerate each other's existence in the increasingly boring and unchanging daily life.

So I don’t want a lover who can’t be a family member.

Xingge put her hands on her shoulders. She finally understood that Chen Xinghua currently had no thoughts in that regard towards Hong Xia... at least not until Hong Xia grew up.

"Why are your ideas so old-fashioned?"

But Xingge felt inexplicably depressed.

Xiao Hongxia is the cutest sister in the world, so there is no one in this world who doesn’t like Xiao Hongxia.

"Old-fashioned? Rather than old-fashioned, it's more realistic."

Chen Xinghua tilted his head and whispered his views on love.

Had he succumbed to reality and lost his own personality? Liang narrowed his eyes, but his mind was very clear.

Maybe not……

"That's right."

Miss Pa, who was hiding aside and adjusting the effects pedal, whispered.

"High school students' relationships will eventually end, so I haven't been in a relationship yet."

As Miss Pa spoke, she felt that her life had become bleak.

Is it true that she has never had a relationship until today because she thinks that high school students' relationships will end sooner or later?

Only she herself knows the truth.

"Don't you guys still need to take a group photo? Hurry up and take it."

Xingge slammed the table and reminded Hongxia and her group, "Don't affect the upcoming business."

"If you hadn't interrupted us, we would have finished filming it long ago."

Hong Xia pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction with her sister.

"Kita, come here... Xinghua, move back... Liang, don't steal the spotlight. The most important thing about a group photo is to show the individual personalities of the band members and the band's uniqueness... Pochi-chan, stop being so stunned and move a little to the left."

After a flurry of adjustments to her position, Hong Xia pressed the time-lapse camera button on the phone placed on the stand, and then trotted to the seat she had originally reserved.

"eggplant!"

Just like that, a new group photo of the band was released.

……

An hour later, STARRY officially opened for business.

Kita went to the recording studio to practice guitar, and Goto Ichiri, who felt that he didn't like the atmosphere of many people, also found an excuse and followed Kita into the recording studio.

Under the "oppression" of the store manager Xingge, the diligent Liang stood diligently at the counter selling tickets to customers.

The sister of the store manager Xingge was assigned to the beverage sales counter, which had not been busy since the performance began.

...What a brutal oppression. Liang complained in his heart while looking at the store manager Xingge beside him.

At the beverage counter on the other side, Chen Xinghua was sipping chocolate milk boredly.

"Why did you choose to join the band in the first place...was it because of Pochi-chan?"

Hong Xia turned her head to look at Chen Xinghua's face, which was a little red under the light.

"You could say that."

Chen Xinghua immediately realized the hidden meaning behind Hong Xia's words, "...it doesn't matter which band I'm in."

For Chen Xinghua now, if he wants to maximize his musical talent that comes from the system.

...not quitting the band and joining another top band.

Instead, he imitated some instrumental geniuses and became his own guitarist, bassist, drummer, keyboardist, lead singer, and arranger.

Only in this way can one's musical talent be brought into play to the greatest extent.

So it really doesn’t matter which band I’m in.

"Sorry, I accidentally glanced at the novel you wrote in the store before."

Hong Xia said with a hint of apology.

Got it? Chen Xinghua was thinking about this in his heart.

The toilet paper in the other world he wrote certainly contains many of his second-year syndrome sentences, the kind of shameful sentences that are enough to make people crawl into bed when they recall them.

But even if other people saw it, it would be embarrassing at most.

Chapter 104: Is ending the band a burden for you?

“Is ending the band a burden for you?”

Hong Xia asked bluntly.

The lights above the stage suddenly avoided the drink ticket counter, adding a few dim colors to Hong Xia's face.

"If you think about it, there are many ways to make a living in this society."

Hong Xia looked straight at the stage in front of her.

"Playing in a band... and being a light novel writer."

"A light novel writer who sells 100,000 copies of a volume can definitely support himself."

After taking another sip of the gentle chocolate milk, Chen Xinghua squinted his eyes comfortably. Is Hongxia talking about him?

The sales of the otherworldly toilet paper he produced were indeed enough to easily support himself, as Hong Xia said, as well as the socially anxious Goto Ichiri and Goto Jiri.

"So I was wondering if I was pushing you too hard."

Hong Xia's red eyes were tinged with a hint of sadness, "Because I have a very ambitious goal."

Hongxia knew that Chen Xinghua had never felt responsible enough to work hard for her dreams.

"So sometimes it can get a bit fanatical and it can affect you."

And... can the band really grow into a famous band? A famous band that can carry the goals of each member?

Hongxia opened her red pupils.

She couldn't come to a definite conclusion... because she had seen too many bands in this live house that had great ambitions when they were first established, but had to pay a lot of money for every live performance until they disbanded.

"We are just taking what we need from each other. There is no question of being forced or not."

Chen Xinghua lay on the bar counter and did not choose to turn his head to look into Hong Xia's red eyes.

Each taking what he needs? Hong Xia only chewed on this sentence for a moment before she understood Chen Xinghua's tsundere intentions hidden beneath the words... Really, don't be as tsundere as your sister.

Tsundere has been out of the version for a long time.

"Everyone takes what they need" is just a way to comfort her.

"Since we each get what we want, there's no point in talking about whether you're doing me justice or not."... Xinghua, you must be trying to make me feel that way.

What can Xinghua bring to the End Band? A keyboardist who is improving rapidly... although his current level is only slightly higher than the average level of a high school band.

But what can Xinghua get from the End Band? Is it the possibility of becoming a famous musician in the future with the help of the End Band, or is it the most precious treasure often found in light novels - friendship?

Besides, he doesn't need the help of the End Band to become a famous musician now, because he is already famous enough as a light novel writer.

And he is not like me, who has goals in the band that must be achieved...or dreams.

After all, he had just picked up his instrument and practiced it the night before he joined the band.

"It would be bad if Pochi-chan got used to me."

Hong Xia suddenly said, "She agreed to join the band at my request, right?"

"I don't think so."

Chen Xinghua drank the chocolate milk in his cup. "She talks to me about what's going on in the band every night."

They were probably talking on the phone, and Hongxia had no idea that Pochi-chan was living with Chen Xinghua.

"If you're really worried, why don't you ask Ichiri... She's teaching Kita guitar in the studio."

Chen Xinghua moved the cup in front of Hong Xia and said, "Can you give me a Coke? I want it to be ice cold."

"Change the cup."

Hong Xia frowned, then leaned over and took out a new cup and filled it with ice cola. "How can you put cola in a cup that has been used to hold milk? This will cause the mixture to produce sediment that is harmful to health."

"Feel sorry."

Chen Xinghua took the icy cola that was still bubbling and said, "I won't do that again."

"Then why did you agree to let Yili join the End Band?"

Hong Xia turned to look at Chen Xinghua, waiting for his answer.

"With Yili's guitar skills, he could have received invitations from many professional bands."

So why not stop her from joining the end band?

Chen Xinghua did not answer Hong Xia's question immediately, but asked in return, "Hong Xia, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"I want to hear it."

Hong Xia looked at Chen Xinghua's black eyes seriously.

“The lie is that I really enjoyed the atmosphere of ending the band…which isn’t really a lie.”

Chen Xinghua said this with a smile.

"Actually, I feel like if I put Yili in another band, she might... no, she would definitely be bullied."

Sometimes bullying is not limited to schools, it can even spread to the workplace.

Chen Xinghua had heard a lot of news like this before he traveled through time.

For example, putting a colleague into a giant washing machine, or pressing a colleague's head into a boiling hot pot.

If this kind of thing happened to Yili...

After just one thought, Chen Xinghua decided that it would be better for Yili to just stay at home.

After all, someone with social anxiety like Goto Ichiri would never be able to fight against workplace bullying.

"It shouldn't be like this."

The triangular hair on Hongxia's head swayed slightly with the owner's mood.

"Isn't it?"

Chen Xinghua's tone deepened. Guys like Yili, who have superb guitar skills and are also socially anxious, are most likely to be bullied in the workplace by people in bad bands.

"I heard there was an idol band a few years ago, I think it was called Pastel*Palettes."

Hong Xia leaned on her arms, with a hint of sudden enlightenment in her eyes.
