It started with being hated by the girl in the band

I gently stroked my hot cheek with my hand. Although I couldn't figure out what I was feeling in my heart... I only knew that I felt very happy.

In particular, Xin gave me a gentle kiss in the car.

Touching the place on his face that seemed to still have the scent of mint, Gao Songdeng couldn't help but chuckle foolishly.

Unconsciously, Gao Songdeng seemed to suddenly understand something in his mind.

The next moment, the sound of rapidly turning pages was heard, like the fluttering of wild bees.

Not long after, Gao Songdeng had already turned to the short poem he had written that day.

【Lost】, 【Wandering】, 【Lonely】.

Tsk, tsk.

As if he wanted to completely and decisively reject such words, Gao Songdeng, who was extremely determined, fiercely crossed out such words on the notebook.

What the so-called [Lost Star] wanted to say, Xin-san has already told me...

Ah... my own [characteristics]... like the stars in the sky, unique [characteristics].

120

The lyrics of Chapter 120 were written thinking of classmate Xin.

"...Nakagawa, Hongxia...how do you feel about it recently?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki had just received his salary for today and was thinking that the thickness was a bit strange, as if it was a little too thick. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard Ijichi Hoshige in front of him asking a question that had no context.

"What do you mean by . . . ?"

A question mark popped up in Nakagawa Nobuyuki's head, and he casually put the salary in his hand into his wallet. He looked at Ijichi Seika with a puzzled look on his face.

"...Hongxia told you that they are going to have a live show on Friday, right?"

Ichichi Xingge frowned slightly, sighed slightly, took a sip of the [Good Boy] strawberry milk in her hand, and asked tentatively: "Is Hongxia depressed today, or... in a bad mood?"

Hearing Ijichi Hoshika ask this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki touched his chin thoughtfully and thought about Hongxia tonight.

"Probably not... Anyway, I didn't see it."

Suddenly, a not-so-outrageous guess came into Nakagawa Nobuyuki's mind.

"...Manager Xingge, you're not worried that Hongxia is under too much pressure, but you're too embarrassed to ask yourself, right?"

Zhonghe Xin's brows twitched suddenly, and he asked the question with a somewhat uncertain and tentative look.

"…Stop asking so many questions! Why are you asking so many questions?"

Sure enough, the facts once again confirmed that Hong Xia's evaluation of her sister [arrogant, arrogant, arrogant] was correct.

Ahhh... these sisters and friends are really enviable.

Putting the wallet back into his pocket, Nakagawa Nobuyuki shook his head with some emotion.

Xingge looked at Zhonghe Xin who looked clear-headed in front of her, and suddenly felt embarrassed. She blushed and scolded softly.

As if to cover up his guilty conscience, Xingge coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and continued in a low voice: "...Anyway, if Hongxia isn't ready, Zhonghe, remember to tell me."

Of course, Nakagawa Nobuyuki had no reason or motivation to refuse. He just thought it was a piece of cake and nodded with a slight smile.

Seeing that Nakagawa Nobuyuki agreed, Ijichi Hoshika finally put her worries to rest.

If Hongxia is not ready yet...just find an excuse and postpone it for a few days.

After all, Hongxia's band was formed not long ago, and Hongxia is the one who does the housework at home.

I have to do housework and find time to practice my musical instrument. Besides, Hongxia will have her final exams soon and she has to review her lessons...

To be honest, Xingge even felt that he might have gone too far... However, Hongxia, who was eager to prove herself, still set the date for this Friday.

Therefore, Xingge found Nakagawa Nobuyuki, hoping that Nakagawa Nobuyuki could take care of Hongxia as a friend rather than an elder sister... But it seems that Hongxia doesn't seem to be under any pressure?

"Don't leave in such a hurry, Zhonghe - there is one more thing."

Ijichi Hoshika, who was still thinking just now, seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly called out to Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was about to leave.

"…Remember not to tell Hong Xia about this."

After saying that, as if he felt that he had no deterrent power at the moment, he tried to narrow his eyes and pretended to be serious: "... or I will deduct your salary next time."

"Please don't do this one."

With an honest look on his face, Nakagawa Nobuyuki had no choice but to put his hands together and beg for mercy. He agreed obediently under the coercion and inducement of Ichichi Hoshige.

Although Xingge is indeed not the kind of black-hearted boss who would deduct wages, but now that things have come to this, it would be a bit too boring not to continue the conversation.

After saying goodbye to the store manager Xingge, Nakagawa Nobuyuki closed the door behind him and prepared to go home.

Considering that everyone in the band was still practicing and preparing for the acceptance Live on Friday, Nakagawa Nobuyuki had no intention of disturbing them. He just sent a message in the group as a farewell.

As he walked, he smiled and exchanged a few words with the musicians from several bands he met on the road, and then Nakagawa Nobuyuki turned the corner again.

There weren't many performances scheduled for tonight, so after the show ended early, there weren't many people left in the stands. Most of them were band members waiting for their teammates.

In addition, Nakagawa Nobuyuki also saw the little Takamatsu Deng lying on the counter, writing furiously on a notebook with an extremely serious look on her pretty face.

What is this writing?

Zhonghe Xinxin suddenly felt curious.

Therefore, Nakagawa Nobuyuki just held his breath and tiptoed to the side of Xiaodeng who was concentrating on his studies. He stood in a position where he could not block the light and had no intention of disturbing Gaosong Deng who was concentrating on his studies.

Perhaps it was really a state of writing as if possessed by a god. The round and cute characters written by Gao Songdeng's white fingers quickly formed something like a poem.

...is it the lyrics?

Didn’t Xiaodeng tell everyone before that he would be responsible for writing the lyrics?

...【Lost Star Calling】, is that the name of the song?

No wonder Xiaodeng has been asking himself all sorts of questions about radio waves every day recently, it turns out it’s because of this.

As long as I can help, it won't be a waste of my effort today.

After figuring this out, Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Takamatsu Deng who was extremely serious in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki just waited quietly by the side, silently waiting for Xiaodeng to finish writing the lyrics.

When Gao Songdeng finally stopped writing with some joy and was about to get up to find classmate Xin, he was somewhat dazed to find that classmate Xin, who had come to his side without him knowing, was looking at him with a gentle smile.

The next moment, Xiao Deng inevitably met Nakagawa Nobuyuki's eyes, and even... could see her own dazed face in Nakagawa Nobuyuki's paulownia eyes.

At this moment, in Gao Songdeng's hazy mind, which was still hazy from the lyrics, it was as if a switch was suddenly turned on.

The next second, Xiaodeng felt his face burning red as if it was boiling. He instantly closed the notebook in his hand and spoke in panic and hesitantly.

"Nobu, Nobu-san...when did you come?"

Xiao Deng glanced nervously at Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of him, as if he felt that just buttoning it was not enough, and then he quickly hid the lyrics book in his hand behind his back.

Although, although I was thinking of the lyrics written by Xin, I don’t know why, I feel so embarrassed… If Xin saw it, I would be so ashamed…

Xin classmate...can you see it?

Should... shouldn't there be any?

“Start with this sentence: Please don’t smile at me in the illusion.”

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked back with a very natural expression. Compared to Takamatsu Deng who lowered his head and looked embarrassed, he obviously didn't think much about it.

"...Ah, um."

Hearing exactly these words, Xiaodeng could only cover her chest lightly, bury her blushing face a little lower, and responded in a soft voice.

This, hasn’t this been there since the beginning…? And, it happened to be this sentence…

121

Chapter 121: You, you dare to kiss the lamp!

Maybe it's because it's a cloudy day today, not the usual cool and breezy summer night, which makes people feel a little upset.

Standing at the tram station entrance, Nakagawa Nobuyuki could still slightly feel the cool air coming in through the crack in the door.

"See you tomorrow then, Deng-san?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki wore his jacket with a faint violet scent on his shoulder. He smiled slightly and said goodbye to Xiaodeng, who was holding his lyrics book tightly in front of him.

"Nobu-san...goodbye."

Gao Songdeng hid his little face behind the emerald green lyrics book, muttering softly in a somewhat awkward manner, his pair of clear amber eyes unconsciously staring at his tightly pressed toes, looking a little lost.

...Xin, are you leaving?

Xiaodeng quietly raised his eyes and stared at the back of Nakagawa Nobuyuki who had just walked out not far away. Unconsciously, some words that he wanted to say suddenly came out of his throat.

If, if I don't say it...

“Ah… that—”

The body was one step faster than the thoughts in the brain, so Xiaodeng hurriedly called out to Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was not far away.

Without waiting for Nakagawa Nobuyuki to turn around, the somewhat panicked Takamatsu Deng closed his eyes and shouted loudly and quickly, as if he was afraid of being misunderstood by Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

"Today, I really want to thank Xin-san for coming all the way to see me!"

"Really...thank you very much, thank you very much!"

"It's obviously me who caused so much trouble...but you still take care of me so much!"

"It's obviously me who's being petty...but you're still so obedient to me..."

"It's obviously my own problem, but still...that..."

All of a sudden, the words that were about to overflow just now suddenly ran out of words and I didn't know what to say.

Ignoring the strange looks from passers-by, Xiaodeng, with sweat on his head, gasped for breath and spoke nervously.

Perhaps because of the sudden call just now, she was a little breathless and her petite shoulders were trembling slightly.

Suddenly, Gao Songdeng felt his shoulder being patted gently.

I looked up subconsciously, and saw Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of me with a helpless look, pinching his fingers and tapping on his head.

"Woo..."

Although he didn't know why he was hit, the painful Xiaodeng still opened his pitiful big eyes, like a little penguin, and looked up at Nakagawa Nobuyuki without knowing what was going on.

"Don't speak so loudly on the street suddenly..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki rubbed Xiaodeng's slightly red forehead, bent down slightly, and spoke softly as if giving instructions.

After hearing what Nakagawa Nobuyuki said, Takamatsu Deng looked around in a daze, and as expected, he saw the resentful looks cast at him by the office workers near the tram station.

It’s a pity that Takamatsu Deng doesn’t have any mind-reading skills, otherwise he would probably be able to hear the resentful complaints of the office workers.

(Young couples nowadays are really abominable... They actually show off their affection in a place like this...)

(Haha, I know you two are in love... Don't be affectionate in front of the office workers, you bastards...)

"I'm sorry, Xin-san..."

As if sensing this strange atmosphere, Takamatsu Deng reacted and lowered her head slightly in embarrassment. She hid her little face back in the emerald green lyrics book and muttered softly.

"Don't apologize so suddenly..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki shook his head and wanted to tap Xiaodeng's head again, but when he saw Gaosong Deng's white forehead was still a little red, he didn't do it.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Nakagawa Nobuyuki slowly said, "Teng, do you remember what you said at that time?"

After hearing what Nakagawa Nobuyuki said, Xiaodeng just blinked blankly, as if he didn't get the point that Nakagawa Nobuyuki wanted to make.

Seeing Takamatsu Deng's dazed look, Nakagawa Nobuyuki knew that Takamatsu Deng must not have remembered what he had said. He couldn't help but laugh and cry. He cleared his throat and began to imitate his classmate Xiao Deng at that time.

"[...a lifetime is a lifetime.]"

"[…It's okay, Nakagawa will help.]"

Before Nakagawa Nobuyuki could finish his imitation, Takamatsu Deng interrupted Nakagawa Nobuyuki with a red face, as if he had recalled some shameful memories.

When she said [Nakagawa will help], she didn’t hear Aine saying things like [taking care of the children], so, so… No!

Looking at Xiaodeng classmate in front of him who was waving his hands in panic and shame, trying to interrupt him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki couldn't help but feel in a good mood and did not hide his happy smile.
