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

"Sorry, if I can finish my work early, I will do my best to get to the practice room."

"What's going on? Can you tell me?" Nagasaki Motoyo raised her phone, staring at the blank chat box, wanting to type in a question.

But in the end, she did the same as she did last night. After typing a long paragraph, she deleted the inquiries and opened Chen Xinghua's Line instead. She once again chewed over the rough words of comfort that Xinghua had sent her a few days ago, injecting a little insignificant warmth into her heart that had long been filled with loneliness.

If this kind of warmth could be continuously injected, Nagasaki Suyo's lonely heart would surely be filled with hope for life again.

If only this warmth could continue to flow into her heart...

Nagasaki Motoyo put away her phone, stroked her brown hair, glanced at the scenery outside the window, and slowly walked down from the window.

...I think this band won't disband like 'CRYCHIC'.

The first sign that Xiaoxiang was about to quit 'CRYCHIC' was that he suddenly stopped coming to 'CRYCHIC' practice without any warning, and then he announced his withdrawal from 'CRYCHIC' in shock on a rainy day.

The rain outside the window has stopped. It is no longer a rainy day like the day when Xiaoxiang announced his withdrawal from the band. It is a sunny day.

By the way, when I went to the practice room to practice today, should I persuade Xiao Lixi not to get angry at Xinghua?

Nagasaki Suyo imagined what kind of Shura scene would be like when she arrived at the practice room.

...Xiao Lixi will definitely be angry because Xinghua didn’t come to the band today.

So I have to comfort the angry little Lixi and make the relationship of this band stronger.

Nagasaki Motoyo skillfully opened Toyokawa Shoko's Line and once again expressed her thoughts to Toyokawa Shoko with extremely skillful hand speed.

"Xiaoxiang, I've formed a band again with Xiaodeng and Lixi."

Nagasaki Suyo is not asking for the revival of 'CRYCHIC' now, but at least...

"At least come and see our next live show."

At least come and look at us and tell us why you quit 'CRYCHIC', please.

But this time, the news fell on deaf ears as usual. It seemed that no matter how long Nagasaki Suyo waited or how devotedly she waited, she would never get a reply from Toyokawa Shoko.

The glaring unread message reflected in Nagasaki Suyo's tired blue eyes.

It's like this again, Xiaoxiang...

"Xiao Xiang, why did you quit 'CRYCHIC'?"

"Why don't you tell us why you quit?"

Chapter 154: Did Xiaoxiang ask her to form a band with her?

Taking down the worn-out acoustic guitar hanging on the wall, Sankaku Hatsuka displayed a guitar technique that was even better than Chihaya Aine's. He stretched out his index and middle fingers to hold the cold metallic pick, and swept the guitar strings that had just been put into place yesterday.

She decided to use the acoustic guitar that had been her musical introduction to play the guitar piece she had practiced with Xiaoxiang before going with her agent to meet with the pianist she had never met to discuss a cooperation contract.

...Speaking of which, my initial musical enlightenment seemed to come from the acoustic guitar that Xiaoxiang gave me.

Humming a classical piece that he had hummed countless times, Sanjiao Chuhua's mind drifted back to the summer vacation he spent with Toyokawa Shoko.

"I never thought I could become friends with you."

Sanjiao Chuhua murmured to herself the luckiest thing in her life. It was really the happiest thing in her life that an ordinary child like her could become friends with Xiaoxiang. It was even happier than her debut as an idol.

Mikado Hatsuka is an ordinary child from a small, unchanging island where, even now, the people still live a life devoid of modernity. Mikado Hatsuka carefully reflects on the time before he and Toyokawa Shoko got together.

Before I met Xiaoxiang, I was just like the other country kids on the island, living the same monotonous and boring island life.

It's like living in a boring cycle of time, with familiar and boring acquaintances, trivial matters... and a time that can be seen at the end and has no hope or interest.

When Sanjiao Chuhua thought that her life would continue to be boring, she met a young lady who was wearing an elegant little dress, holding an exquisitely crafted doll, and had elegant and noble manners and conversation during an ordinary summer vacation.

Sanjiao Chuhua, who usually played with the country kids, was shocked to see this aristocratic lady who looked like she had walked out of a TV series played on an old-fashioned TV set at home that was always malfunctioning.

I never thought that I could become friends with her... Sanjiao Chuhua's mouth curled up slightly, showing a beautiful smile.

At that time, Xiaoxiang could only use one word to describe it...that is white moonlight, the white moonlight that is out of reach.

Sanjiao Chuhua originally thought that it would be impossible for him to have any interaction with Toyokawa Xiangzi, because compared to himself who usually wandered around in the bushes and his clothes were often stained with the smell of mud, Xiaoxiang at that time was like the white moonlight hanging in the sky.

"It can be admired from a distance, but not played with."

Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly remembered the poems he had learned in class.

But it was this unattainable white moonlight that became her friend.

But Sanjiao Chuhua also knew that no matter how close this white moonlight was to her, no matter how close the distance between them was, it was still the white moonlight that was out of reach.

For Xiaoxiang, the island experience during that summer vacation was just a chance experience that resulted from her family randomly choosing one of the many vacation properties they owned to stay in temporarily.

But for Ms. Sanjiao Chuhua, every moment, every minute, and every second of her island experience during that summer vacation is a memory worth cherishing in her heart.

When the summer vacation was over and Bai Yueguang returned to her original position, Sanjiao Chuhua was chewing over the precious memories he had with Bai Yueguang over and over again in the boring island life, engraving all the scenes deep into his bones and looking forward to the next reunion.

The ringing sound coming from the audio component of the mobile phone made Sanjiao Chuhua subconsciously tighten the grip of the acoustic guitar in his hand.

After confirming that there was no possibility that the acoustic guitar in his hand would accidentally fall to the ground, Sanjiao Chuhua shifted his gaze to the screen of his mobile phone.

"It was my agent...I think he urged me to go over there."

After hanging the acoustic guitar on the wall, Sanjiao Chuhua stood up and pressed the green phone button on the mobile phone screen to answer the call from his agent.

"Hello, is this your agent? Um... yes, sorry to have kept you waiting. My makeup will be done soon. Sorry to have kept you waiting a little longer."

……

Sitting in the company's car, Sanjiao Chuhua narrowed his eyes and leaned back in a relaxed manner on the leather back seat, as if he wanted to take advantage of this short commute to rest for a while.

…I feel like a social animal now. An idea popped into Sanjiao Chuhua’s mind.

Because I was tired from work, I spent part of my rest time on the tram. I pulled the pull ring on the tram, closed my eyes and took a nap on the way to work.

But these are all necessary sacrifices... because the reason why he left the island and came to this big city was not only because he had the dream of becoming a singer, but more importantly, he wanted to become a big man who could stand next to Bai Yueguang.

The white moonlight is something that is out of reach, but Sanjiao Chuhua is not like Toyokawa Shoko, who has become something that is out of reach for oneself.

So she wanted to become a big shot, a big shot who could stand beside the future head of the Toyokawa family.

As the agent woke him up from his half-asleep state, Sanjiao Chuhua straightened his clothes, followed his agent out of the car, and walked towards the agreed negotiation location.

We were clearly already there half an hour early, but they were even there before us? Ms. Sanjiao Chuhua, who hadn't fully recovered from her fatigue, looked at the somewhat familiar couple and had this thought in her mind.

"I'm so sorry we're late."

The agent offered his usual polite apology, "I hope I didn't take up too much of your time."

"It's okay, we came here too early."

The familiar voice stimulated Ms. Sanjiao Chuhua's nerves as if they had been immersed in hot water and then in ice water.

Is that Xiaoxiang?

That's too bad... I had wanted to meet Xiaoxiang after I had achieved success and become a singer worthy of the title of the future head of the Toyokawa family.

But although it is a bit early to meet now... Ms. Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly remembered what she was going to do today, which was to form a band with a pianist whom she "had never met before".

In her memory, Shoko Toyokawa was very good at playing the piano.

So, it was Xiaoxiang who asked her to form a band with her?

It's appropriate to meet at this time... After calming down, Ms. Sanjiao Chuhua found that her idea had a 99.9% chance of coming true.

155

Chapter 155 is just terrible.

After all, the Toyokawa family was a relatively large capital group... no, more like a chaebol group. If the eldest daughter of this family wanted to form a band for fun, wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for the agency to have a popular A-list idol unilaterally provide financial support for this playful band?

Maybe Xiaoxiang asked for this on his own initiative after knowing that he worked in the firm.

If I could stand next to Xiaoxiang and play, I would be willing to do it 100%, even if I had to pay for it.

But it was so terrible to meet him under such circumstances. I only put on some light makeup, instead of spending three hours on makeup in advance and then another hour adjusting my hairstyle and expression to the same as when I met Xiaoxiang.

Sanjiao Chuhua took off the sunglasses that were hiding his face.

...It's absolutely terrible.

Sanjiao Chuhua swore that if he could do it again, he would definitely make this encounter more perfect.

But when Sanjiao Chuhua looked at the partners who came to the firm today to discuss cooperation, the excitement in her body from meeting Bai Yueguang again solidified into a cold ice core almost in an instant.

Her hard-trained acting skills and rich idol experience are barely enough to maintain the iconic smile on her face.

Because she saw that the person sitting there was not only her childhood sweetheart Toyokawa Shoko, but also a man she had never met before.

More importantly, the relationship between this unknown man and Shoko Toyokawa seems to be different.

This can be seen from his casual behavior.

Right when the business negotiations were about to begin, he was still relaxing and drinking the iced mango juice he had ordered.

If he and Xiaoxiang were just an ordinary boss-subordinate relationship, Xiaoxiang's strong personality would never allow him to show such relaxation during business negotiations.

Although his mind was full of thoughts, Sanjiao Chuhua still obediently followed his agent and sat opposite his childhood sweetheart whom he had been thinking about day and night.

...It was her. Like Sankaku Hatsuka, Toyokawa Shoko was also shocked when she saw her childhood sweetheart.

But unlike Sankaku Hatsuka, Toyokawa Shoko suppressed the shock in her heart after thinking for a few seconds and began to think about the problem in front of her with a rational mindset.

Chu Hua is the biggest trump card currently in the hands of this agency, and the agent brought Chu Hua here... because he wanted to allocate the best resources to Chu Hua.

Maybe I should have thought of that earlier, but that's okay...

Toyokawa Shoko sat up straight with a serious demeanor, because she felt that she could easily hide her situation from Sankaku Hatsuka.

"Do you want Chuhua to join Xinghua's band?"

For now, let's not treat Chuhua as a friend, because that would make everyone feel awkward. Toyokawa Shoko made up her mind.

First of all, Chuhua's firm isn't hers. If Chuhua wants to give up her interests for us because of me... that wouldn't be good for her.

On the other hand, it's the same for me. I can't give up Xinghua's interests for Chuhua... That's not what a qualified manager should do.

"As a reward for our investment."

Sanjiao Chuhua's agent took one look at Chen Xinghua, who was behaving very casually, and immediately felt a little troubled.

Because if Chen Xinghua treated the firm with a serious attitude, even so nervous that sweat was oozing out of his whole body.

The firm might be able to take this opportunity to gain more benefits from him.

But unfortunately, he treated us with an attitude that did not take us seriously.

This shows that he has clearly understood his own value and believes that we can be replaced by other famous things.

So this is a problem, and we have to give up more interests in the next negotiations.

After all, this is because extreme musical talent can be monetized with a little brainpower, and there is no need to rely too much on resources provided by others like some professions.

Tch...trouble.

"Well... the agency currently has this project. This is Mikado Hatsuka from the group Sumimi."

The agent introduced Sanjiao Chuhua and showed the biggest hand currently in the agency's hands.

What followed was a tedious and boring negotiation, so boring that Chen Xinghua yawned and then looked at Sanjiao Chuhua's face.

Does this yellow-haired Sanjiao Chuhua look familiar to Xiangzi? Chen Xinghua recalled the trembling of Fengchuan Xiangzi when he first saw Sanjiao Chuhua and deduced this conclusion.

Although the trembling was slight, he could see it.

And Sanjiao Chuhua also turned around and looked at this man whose relationship with Toyokawa Shoko was unknown.

With his short, neat black hair, black pupils, and casual and aimless look, it's as if he's not worried at all about the failure of this business negotiation.

"Well, how's your guitar playing?"

Chen Xinghua is currently paying close attention to this matter. After all, he is preparing to debut as soon as possible... It would be best if he could gather the band members today, rehearse the next two days, and perform on stage next week.

As for business negotiations, leave it to Xiangzi, since he is not particularly good at this area anyway.

Professional matters should be left to professionals...it is enough for him to be responsible for the music.

"Are you good at jazz and classical guitar?"

Isn't it true that if you only focus on your guitar skills, you are not focusing on other aspects of yourself? Sanjiao Chuhua observed this with unique insight.
