It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Tokyo is horrible.

Let's contact her. It would be best if we could ask her out to chat. I can also find out how she is doing in the band.

Xiuhua High School.

Utility room under the stairs.

Goto Ichiri's cell phone suddenly vibrated, and Ichiri, who was practicing guitar alone, stopped what he was doing.

Although my mobile phone often receives various spam messages, I have never actually blocked them.

...because receiving text messages all the time is a very trendy thing!

Of course a famous person should have endless messages to reply to!

It's good to get used to the life of a famous person first...

Sometimes, when he found that everyone on the train was watching videos or replying to messages on their phones, Goto Ichiri would reply to various spam messages, pretending to be busy with socializing.

All we can say is that Nakagawa Nobuyuki is not here, otherwise Nakagawa Nobuyuki would definitely be complaining about Goto Ichiri, whose social cognition is still stuck at the level of around 2010.

The days when people chatted non-stop via text messages are a thing of the past. Nowadays, text messages are basically just a box for receiving verification codes rather than communication and chatting.

"...Xinxinxin...Xin-san!"

As soon as he saw the note in the letter and the little red dot flashing behind the avatar, Goto Ichiri tightened his grip on the phone.

Sitting with knees together and the guitar casually placed on his legs, he immediately opened Line nervously and clicked on the pinned chat with Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

Nakagawa Nobu: "Is Ichiri free?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki: "There's a free class today, do you want to go out and play?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki: "We can go to the stars together later."

!!!

Xin classmate actually contacted me again!

He even took the initiative to invite me to go out and play with him!

Is this considered... a gathering among friends - or... a date?

Dating is so embarrassing...

I heard there is a thing called quantum entanglement. Is it because I was secretly using a trumpet to peek at Xin classmate all day that Xin classmate remembered me?

Hehehe, classmate Xin and I have such a good understanding of each other, don’t we?

But no!

Goto Ichiri cut off his own delusions in pain in his heart.

I'm dressed so old-fashioned, and I smell like mold from the closet... and I don't look cute at all. If I go out like this, Xin will definitely dislike me!

Even in modern society, such people are unacceptable!

"That guy in the pink tracksuit is so weird. Why is he walking with this guy?"

"I don't know? The guy might have been coerced by gangsters! Anyway, it's best to call the police!"

When Goto Ichiri thought of the relieved expression on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's face in his imagination after he was taken into the police car, his mood was immediately shrouded in a cloud.

Don't do this kind of thing!

Well, well, anyway, let's think of a way...

Oh, right, let's find Kita-san. Kita-san is so sunny, he must know what to do!

Today, today I can only refuse...

Although it is difficult for me to reject Xin, I don't want Xin to see my bad side.

Having made up his mind, Goto Ichiri encouraged himself and decided to reply to Nakagawa Nobuyuki immediately.

...or should I reply later?

On the other side, Nakagawa Nobuyuki waited for a long time, only to see the reminder "The other party is typing..." flashing continuously.

As a master in Goto Ichiri's field, Nakagawa Nobuyuki probably knew what the other side was doing, and he must be timid and afraid to say anything.

In this case, who can I call friends to hang out with?

Why don't we go find Fengchuan? She happens to be free today.

Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki clicked on Toyokawa Shoko's profile picture.

On the other side, Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu were sitting opposite each other in another cafe.

The sudden ringing of the cell phone interrupted their conversation.

"Is it Su Shi?" Wakaba Mutsu, who was sipping mango juice, let go of the straw and asked softly.

Of course she knew that Su Shi would send Toyokawa Shoko at least a dozen or nearly a hundred messages almost every day, and today would probably be no exception.

But soon, Ruo Yemu realized that he must have said something wrong.

Because after turning on the phone, Toyokawa Shoko's originally colorless expression almost immediately became bright and visibly attractive.

Although he was suppressed immediately, Xiao Mu was very sure that he was not mistaken.

Xiaoxiang, you must have been very happy just now.

"...Who?" Xiao Mu put his straw back into his mouth, feeling a little curious.

"...It's Zhong... It's Xin, Xin asked me where I was."

After saying this, Toyokawa Shoko, with a slightly blushing face, quickly sent a message to Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

...We have performed like this in front of Xiaomu before during our relationship. If we don’t continue to perform this time, won’t we be exposed?

I have to call Xin...or something like that, and I suddenly feel embarrassed.

...and it's also weird to call yourself something, right?

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko's face became even redder without her realizing it, and she edited a new message and sent it to Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

"Since Mu is here too, just call me Xiangzi."

Looking at Xiangzi, whose face suddenly turned red and was filled with an unconscious smile, Ruo Yemu just continued to sip the mango juice with an expressionless face. He only raised his head when the mango juice was about to run out.

The mango juice here is not sweet enough.

"Are Xiangzi and Xin dating?"

Wakaba Mu asked.

"W-what!? We, we don't..."

"..."

"...We've been dating for a long time."

Xiangzi, who was unable to react, first denied it, but then he suddenly thought of Xiaomu's situation in front of him and changed his words.

"...Yeah?"

Ruoye Mu nodded and did not ask any further questions, but the doubts in Mu's heart only grew.

If they were dating, why did Xiaoxiang deny it at the beginning?

After drinking his mango juice, Ruo Yemu looked towards the door of the cafe. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he stood up and went to the counter and ordered two more glasses of mango juice.

Of course, Xiao Mu was the one treating this time, and he even specifically asked for more sugar.

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but look at Wakaba Mutsu who came back with two glasses of mango juice with a puzzled look.

And Ruoye Mu just put down the two drinks and said softly: "Because... Xin likes sweeter drinks, so it's mango juice."

Chapter 33 Nakagawa Nobuo's Small Group

Nakagawa Shin is not far from this cafe and can be reached quickly on foot.

As soon as I opened the door of the store, as if by telepathy, my eyes met with Xiao Mu who was drinking a drink peacefully.

Although I don't know why Mu is with Xiaoxiang at this time, considering the issue of "rationality", I know not to ask.

"Good afternoon... I was delayed for some time at RiNG just now."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki naturally put his bag on the side of the seat and sat side by side with Toyokawa Shoko.

“In RiNG?... How is Aine-san and her band going?”

After hearing RiNG, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes dimmed, but she immediately returned to her nonchalant look.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki waved his hand, and as soon as he sat down, he unbuttoned his school uniform jacket and loosened his tie.

"I was just about to say that... Can I go to the counter and order a drink first?"

"...mango juice."

Wakaba Mutsu calmly pushed the mango juice on the seat next to him in front of Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

But what if he doesn’t really like sweet things? Or he thinks his favorite flavor is too sweet?

"You've already ordered everything for me. Feng-Xiangzi is really thoughtful."

Although Nakagawa Nobuyuki was quite happy to get a free drink, he still felt a little weird inside.

Would Fengchuan actually order a drink for himself?

Although the prices on the menu in this cafe weren't as high as the place where he worked part-time, Fengchuan didn't seem like the kind of person who would take the initiative to buy him a drink, right?

Could it be that it is a return of favor?

If it's Toyokawa, this is indeed possible.

But if you really want to treat him, you would probably ask him what he wants to drink first, right?

Or was he afraid that I would refuse, so he placed the order for me directly?

I am so touched. Is this Fengchuan? If I don’t drink it, I will be disrespecting Fengchuan.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki suddenly thought of a certain blue-haired bassist and made a small comparison between the two in his mind.

There is no doubt that although they are all blue hair, there are differences between blue hair and blue hair!

This glass of mango juice is irrefutable evidence!

"Xiao Mu treated us. If you want to thank someone, then thank Xiao Mu."

Toyokawa Shoko didn't think too much about it, she just smiled and looked at Xiaomu opposite her.

Facing the gaze from Nakagawa Nobuyuki, Xiaomu did not have any extra reaction. He just held his straw and nodded slightly.

"Where were we just talking about...Oh, we haven't even started yet."

"Aren't we going to RiNG today to talk about the band?"

The two nodded.

"Then, as we were talking, Gao Song suddenly said that he wanted to form a band for life."

"It's nothing, right?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki raised his glass and took a sip, then continued to tell Wakaba Mutsu and Toyokawa Shoko.

...Isn't that a bit too much sugar?

"Then Gao Song said, 'Let's form a band together for life, especially Nakagawa.'"

"Do you know the way Shiina looked at me at that time?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was leaning forward slightly, immediately changed his expression and began to imitate Shiina Tatsuki.

Although the slightly narrowed eyes and fierce look are quite oppressive, I have to admit that the imitation does have some meaning. However, because the imitation is a bit too deliberate, it is actually quite funny.

"Just like that, stare at me like crazy."

"It's not over yet. After glaring at me, you insisted on dragging me out the door."

"I didn't even have time to react, and he asked me straight out of the blue."

"[Did you trick Deng into dating you!]"

"That's what I asked."
