In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

"It's rare to see this in the city."

"Dengjiang is really lucky."

The light in Takamatsu's eyes intensified, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Then, as if sensing something, she looked up at the boy's face beside her.

"Is Ze-jun unhappy?"

Shirakawa Ze hummed in agreement.

"Kind of."

A hint of concern appeared in Gao Songdeng's eyes.

"Would you mind telling me about it?"

Shirakawa Sawa thought for a moment, then spoke.

"It's like there are some things that I'm clearly working hard on and seeing some results, but somehow, I suddenly find myself back at square one."

"I feel a little discouraged, as if all the things I did before were in vain."

Takamatsu moved closer, pressing her shoulder against the other's arm.

"It's rare to see Ze Jun discouraged; it seems to be a truly troubling problem."

"Should we go to the planetarium later?"

"When I was in a bad mood, I always liked to go to the planetarium alone and watch the various starry skies simulated in the planetarium shows. I felt as if I was in it, and I was shining and going out in the universe with those stars."

"However, I rarely went there after meeting Ze-kun, because I could always feel the power that Ze-kun gave me."

She raised her hand, showing the bracelet the other person had given her on her wrist.

"I still remember what Ze Jun said when he gave me this bracelet..."

"If two stars meet, they can rely on each other."

"Will you notice when the other party turns it off and when it turns back on?"

She tilted her head slightly, looking at the boy's face, her eyes gleaming.

"At the time, I was still hesitant and not quite sure."

"But now I can say with certainty that I have met the star with whom I can rely on each other."

"I am no longer alone."

"Since we rely on each other, I also want to give you some strength when you are feeling down."

"Also..."

A blush crept across the girl's face, but the light in her eyes grew even stronger.

"I am so grateful for Ze Jun's constant care and support."

"Please continue to take care of me in the future!"

Looking at the girl before him, who shone like starlight, Shirakawa suddenly felt a lump in his throat and his vision blurred. He smiled and said...

"Deng Jiang, the light pollution in the city is really bad. I can't even see you clearly."

Takamatsu Akari laughed too, raised her hand to wipe away the tears that had slid down the other's face, and stood on tiptoe to kiss him...

Standing not far away, Shiina Tatsuki originally wanted to call Takamatsu Akari back to continue rehearsing, but after seeing the scene in front of her, she sniffed and turned to walk into RiNG.

At the same time, he vowed in his heart that if Lena dared to say anything out of line again, he would definitely give her a failing grade after every band activity!

Volume 1: Chapter 176 A Meeting of Minds, Xiao Mu, Don't...

After calming Shirakawa Sawa down a bit, Takamatsu Akari glanced in RiNG's direction, then tugged at the former's hand.

"Zejun, my band's activities aren't over yet."

"I saw the rhinoceros beetle on my way back after dinner, so I stopped here for a moment."

"Let's go to the planetarium together after the later events."

Shirakawa Ze nodded.

"Okay, I'll go upstairs to get something to eat and wait for you to finish."

Takamatsu Akari responded softly, and then the two of them walked into RiNG together.

Upon arriving on the second floor, Shirakawa Sawa casually ordered a bowl of soba noodles and a cup of tea for dinner.

During his meal, he received a message from Yutenji Wakana.

"Zejun, I've made up my mind."

"I agree with your proposal."

"I'll have the contract ready today. When are you available to sign it?"

Shirakawa Ze thought for a moment and replied.

"Tomorrow afternoon, I'll come to your place after school."

More than an hour later, he saw Kaname Rakuna and Shiina Riki come in together.

When the cat noticed him, its eyes lit up and it immediately went forward, but the latter grabbed it with his ruthless iron hand and locked its wrist tightly.

"pain."

Cat turned to look at her with some confusion, not understanding why she was preventing her from getting close to Shirakawa.

Just as the latter was about to speak, Gao Songdeng appeared behind them, her eyes also filled with doubt.

"Lixi?"

Shiina Tatsuki suddenly felt a little embarrassed, her body tensed, but she still didn't let go.

"The stray cat came with me to eat matcha parfait."

Yao Lena shook her head and began to pry her hands off.

"I want Shirakawa."

Shiina Tatsuki frowned, wanting to say something, but felt embarrassed.

After all, you can't just say something like, "I want to protect your relationship with Ze-jun," while facing the light.

That would be so shameful.

Takamatsu spoke again.

"Lixi, let her go."

At this moment, Shirakawa Sawa walked up to them, raised his hand to pat Kaname Rakuna's head, and then looked at Shiina Tatsuki.

"Lixi, is something the matter?"

Seeing that both of them had spoken, the latter didn't say anything more, but gave the cat a sharp look, warning her not to talk nonsense.

Then her gaze softened as she looked at Takamatsu Akari and Shirakawa Sawa.

"Deng, Ze-kun, I'll be going now. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Le Nai raised her wrist, which had been ripped red by the ruthless iron hand, and looked at the boy in front of her with a hint of grievance.

"Shirakawa, it hurts."

Shirakawa Ze looked concerned and gently rubbed her wrist.

"Lena has been wronged. Let's go get a matcha parfait."

The cat nodded, then reached out and took Takamatsu's arm, and the three of them walked to the counter.

After having the staff make him a matcha coffee, Shirakawa reached out and patted the cat's head.

"Lanna, I have something to do with Deng-chan, so I won't keep you company for now."

Lena nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Shirakawa Sawa and Takamatsu Akari went to the planetarium and watched a celestial show.

After the performance, the two walked out of the planetarium and sat on the steps in the gentle breeze.

Gao Songdeng looked at the boy beside her, her eyes filled with expectation.

"How are you feeling, Ze-jun?"

A smile appeared on Shirakawa Sawa's face.

"I felt the vastness of the starry sky and the immensity of the universe."

"I also felt how insignificant the stars are."

He reached out and intertwined his fingers with the other person's.

"Indeed, as Deng Jiang said before, the universe is like this world, and the stars are like people."

"It is indeed not easy for us to meet and get to know each other among the vast number of people."

The girl nodded.

The two looked at each other and suddenly spoke at the same time.

“I will treasure it.”

Takamatsu's eyes instantly filled with starlight, and a smile rippled along with his gaze.

She suddenly had a strange feeling.

It's as if the two of them are working together to fill in and solidify what they said before, which wasn't enough to support their point of view at the time.

Looking back suddenly, she realized that she seemed to have become the person she wanted to be.

They became human.

She tilted her head slightly, gently leaning on the other person's shoulder, feeling the emotions and strength that were being transmitted between them.
