After dropping out of school, I chose to join a girls' band.

Hearing Yue's words, Aine remembered the Galaxy Live House she had visited before her last performance. Her eyes lit up, and a hint of excitement appeared on her face. "Ah! That place is pretty good. There shouldn't be too many people there. Shall we go check it out?"

Xiao Deng nodded and said, "I have no objection..."

Lixi nodded. "There's no other way now. Let's go take a look."

------------

At the entrance of Live House Galaxy, the four stood helplessly. Lena silently ate the matcha parfait she had bought to calm her down and keep her from running around.

Li hope sighed softly, her brows furrowing slightly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "So there's no room here either?"

After visiting three live houses without finding a usable recording studio, her voice carried a hint of weariness and disappointment.

Yue nodded, a hint of helplessness and confusion on her face, and added, "I heard it's because so many bands from the surrounding area have emerged in Circle, causing the bands that originally went to Circle to start looking for other live houses to practice. Even the reason why we can't book a recording studio in Ring today has now been found."

Takamatsu looked at Tsuki and Riki with a hint of worry and helplessness in her eyes. She gently gripped the notebook and bit her lower lip, as if she was thinking of a solution.

After finishing her matcha parfait, and seeing that no one had come up with a solution, Lena tilted her head, a hint of confusion in her voice, and asked, "Is practice over?"

Ai Yin opened her phone's map app to search for nearby live music venues. "Should we go look around somewhere else? Let me see... there seems to be a live music venue here called... dub?"

After hearing Aine's words, Tsuki said, "Ah... there probably aren't any available there either. I just asked the manager of Galaxy to help me ask, and it seems that no live house will have a recording studio available for the foreseeable future."

Upon hearing Yue's words, Aine was visibly surprised, her eyes widening and her mouth slightly agape. "Eh? No way... then... does that mean we have to disband for today?"

Li hope sighed. Faced with the situation of not being able to find a recording studio anywhere, she had no other solutions: "I guess this is the only way. Everyone, today..."

Yue suddenly spoke up to stop Lixi, "Wait a minute... there's actually another place we can use... but..." Her voice carried a hint of hesitation.

The little lamp standing next to Yue was the first to look in Yue's direction, "Yue?"

Ai Yin then asked, "Xiao Yue, do you know any other live houses that have available recording studios?"

Lixi also cast an expectant glance at Yue.

Looking at the expectant gazes of the crowd, Yue nodded gently, "Yes, but... that place is a bit special."

Li hope frowned slightly, a hint of doubt and curiosity in his eyes. "Special? What's so special about it?"

Yue turned her gaze towards Shiina Tatsuki and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I have a recording studio at home... but it doesn't have drums..."

"Huh?" Li hope didn't expect Yue's final answer to be the other party's house. She had been to Yue's house two or three times before and had never seen a recording studio.

Seeing the surprised expression on Li hope's face, Yue immediately guessed the reason for his surprise and explained, "Li hope, the reason you didn't see it when you came to my house before is because the recording studio is underground."

"Huh? Eh—!" To Yue's surprise, the person who reacted the most after she said that was Chihaya Aine.

Her eyes widened and her mouth slightly open, looking extremely surprised and incredulous.

Ai Yin turned to Rikki and asked, "Rikki! When did you sneak over to Xiaoyue's house? And you didn't even invite me!" Her voice was tinged with doubt and mischief, and her eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and dissatisfaction.

Li Xi turned her face away, not looking at Ai Yin: "I went to Yue's house because of the band's previous performance, not to play around."

Ai Yin was clearly dissatisfied with Li hope's statement: "I can also help with the band's performance!"

Unlike Riki and Aine, who were arguing again, Kodama turned her gaze to Hinasaki Tsuki, her eyes revealing a hint of concern and doubt, "Tsuki... is it really okay for me to practice at your house?" Her voice was filled with hesitation and worry.

Yue nodded and said, "Of course, you can sleep at my house tonight without any problem."

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Ai Yin instantly caught the key words in Yue's mouth, her eyes lit up, and she abandoned Li Xi to rush to Yue's side, her eyes full of expectation and surprise, "Really? Can I really sleep at your house, Yue?"

Yue looked at Aine's eager expression with some surprise and nodded, "Um... of course... Lixi has slept at my house several times before, and when we were in Shengxiang, everyone often came to my house to hold parties."

After receiving Aine's affirmative reply, Aine cheered, "That's great!"

"If everyone decides to practice at my house, then please tell your families first. I'll go borrow a drum to sort out the equipment issue."

When the Stage Opens: Chapter 142 The Moon's Home

About an hour later, around 8 p.m., Yue had gone to great lengths to borrow a drum from the person who had been in charge of instruments when she was an idol, in preparation for use in the evening's rehearsal.

She had just finished contacting the person who delivered the instrument and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she heard the doorbell ring. Yue quickly went to the door, opened it, and saw Chihaya Aine, Shiina Tatsuki, Kaname Rakuna, and Takamatsu Akari standing outside.

As Aine saw Yue walk out the door, she immediately waved and a smile of excitement appeared on her face, "Little Yue!"

"Tsuki's house is very big." Ryuna looked at Hinasaki Tsuki's house in front of her and said it with admiration, but her tone was not surprised at all and she seemed very calm.

Ai Yin continued, picking up where Le Nai left off, "That's right, I thought the Su family was already quite luxurious, but I never imagined your house was this big too, Xiao Yue." Her voice carried a hint of surprise and envy, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Lixi entered Yue's house first, her expression somewhat serious, her eyes quickly scanning the surroundings. "Alright... hurry up and go in... we've already wasted a lot of practice time today." Her voice carried a hint of impatience and urging, clearly dissatisfied with the wasted time.

Ai followed Riki into Yue's house, still complaining, "Hey? We finally came to Yue's house, let's rest for a bit first, right, Xiaodeng?" Her voice was a little coquettish and complaining, and her eyes revealed a hint of longing and expectation.

Xiao Deng, who was suddenly asked a question by Ai Yin, was taken aback. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Eh?" She frowned slightly, clearly caught off guard.

She then nodded and said, "Mmm..."

Yue looked at the four of them, a helpless smile on her face. She shook her head gently and then said, "Alright, everyone, come in and rest for a bit. I just borrowed a drum set, and it will probably take a while to arrive. You can all come in and sit down for a while."

Hearing Yue's words, Aine's face lit up with a joyful smile, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. She gently tugged at Xiaodeng's hand and said happily, "That's wonderful!"

Yue turned to look at Ryuna, a mischievous smile on her face. "Oh, right, Ryuna-chan, I bought a matcha cake!"

Upon hearing the words "matcha cake," Lena's eyes lit up with excitement and joy. "I want some!" she exclaimed, her voice brimming with eagerness and longing, making her appear exceptionally energetic. She strode into Yue's house first, her movements swift and decisive, clearly filled with anticipation for the matcha cake.

Aine, Xiaodeng, and Lixi followed Yue into the living room. Aine looked around and said, "This place is really nice. Hey, Yue, can we have a spare practice space at your house like Popipa does in the future?"

Although Lixi didn't say anything, judging from her expression, she also thought Aine's suggestion was very good.

"Well... the setup in my recording studio is actually quite inadequate. It was originally just used as a soundproof room for practicing music. I made some minor modifications after I became an idol, but it's still far from the professional listening equipment in a live house..."

Yue thought for a moment and continued, "However, if it's just for use as a backup practice room, I have no objection. On the contrary, I would welcome everyone to come to my house to play, since this place is really too empty."

Aine smiled with delight upon hearing Yue's words, "Really? That's wonderful!"

Xiaodeng and Lixi, who were standing nearby, also had happy expressions on their faces.

Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Yue said, "Everyone, please sit in the living room for a while. I'll go prepare some drinks for you. Once the drums are delivered, we'll go downstairs to the recording studio to take a look."

Yue walked into the kitchen, skillfully took out some drinks and cups, and then carried the tray back to the living room. Lenai was already sitting on the sofa, happily eating a piece of matcha cake.

Lixi sat on the sofa, earphones plugged into both ears, the rhythm of music flowing through her mind. Her fingers tapped lightly on her knees, following the rhythm from the earphones, playing a silent melody.

Xiaodeng, clutching her laptop, sat somewhat awkwardly on the sofa. A hint of unease and tension flickered in her eyes. She glanced around every now and then, seemingly still adjusting to the unfamiliar surroundings.

Beside her, Chihaya Aine curiously examined the interior design of Tsukimi's house, her gaze wandering around the room, her eyes filled with curiosity and amazement.

Yue first walked over to Xiaodeng and handed her a drink, saying, "Xiaodeng, relax a bit, you don't need to be so reserved."

"Moon, thank you..." Little Lamp nodded and took the drink.

She then gently walked to Lixi's side, patted her on the shoulder to signal her to take off her headphones, and handed her the drink, saying, "Lixi, take a rest first."

Li hope raised her head slightly, took off her headphones, and said, "Yes, I know. I just had a bit of inspiration and wanted to write it down."

After hearing Li hope's words, Yue asked curiously, "Is it about inspiration for the new song?"

Li Xi nodded, took a sip of his drink, and then said, "Xiao Deng wrote some lyrics yesterday. I have a general idea. I want to write the lyrics and compose the music at the same time so that Xiao Deng can sing on stage as soon as possible."

After hearing Riki's words, Takamatsu Akari's face showed a mixture of emotion and worry. "Riki-chan... thank you... but don't push yourself too hard."

Ai Yin chimed in, "Rikki, you must have stayed up all night again last night, right? I can see your dark circles."

"Huh?" Li Xi paused, a look of surprise on her face. She took out her phone, opened the front camera, and checked her face, but didn't see the dark circles Ai Yin had mentioned. She frowned slightly and muttered softly, "Where are the dark circles..."

Yue looked at Li Xi's actions and said, "Li Xi, this action means you're admitting you stayed up all night... You should take care of your health. You promised us you wouldn't stay up all night anymore, didn't you?"

Takamatsu looked at Lixi with the same concerned gaze, "Lixi..."

It was clear that Lixi had never been able to resist Gaosong Deng's pleas. When she saw Xiaodeng's amber eyes looking at her, she immediately softened and said helplessly, "Okay, okay... I know, I will definitely be more careful in the future."

When the performance begins: Chapter 143 The venue is ready, but what about the song?

Yue retrieved a set of keys for the basement from a cabinet near the basement entrance, inserted it into the lock, turned it once, and heard a soft "click." The sound of the lock opening was remarkably clear in the quiet basement.

"Cough cough cough..."

As soon as Yue pushed open the door, a thick cloud of dust rushed towards her. She immediately covered her mouth and nose with her hand, her brows furrowing slightly, clearly choked by the sudden dust.

Dust swirled in the dimly lit basement, appearing like a thin mist in the faint light streaming in from outside.

She kept waving her hands, trying to disperse the dust in front of her. As the dust gradually settled, Yue's eyes began to adjust to the dim light of the basement.

Her fingers groped along the wall, searching for the light switch, and finally touched a protruding switch.

With a click, the light switch was pressed, and the lights instantly came on. The dim basement was instantly illuminated by warm light, and all the details were revealed before her eyes.

The equipment in the recording studio was also covered in dust. A dust-covered windshield hung on the microphone stand, and the surfaces of the audio equipment were covered with fine dust particles.

Yueqing walked gently into the recording studio, each step stirring up a fine cloud of dust. She lightly brushed her hand across the audio equipment, her fingers immediately covered in dust.

Since she stopped being an idol and went to study at Shengxiang, she has basically never been to the recording studio.

The recording studio was originally where she practiced and recorded songs, but since she transferred to the Saint Seiya Conservatory of Music, she has basically been training at the school.

Her two parents, however, have no use for this place and rarely have time to maintain these devices.

As a result, the recording studio gradually accumulated dust. Dust piled up in the equipment and corners that had been unused for a long time, eventually covering all surfaces.

"Cough cough cough... There's so much dust here..." Aine, who followed Yue in, was also choked by the dust, covering her mouth and nose and coughing, waving her hands around.

Lixi went straight to the audio equipment and began to carefully examine every detail. Her fingers gently brushed across the surface of the equipment, wiping away a thick layer of dust to reveal the metal and buttons underneath. She carefully inspected the connecting cables and switches.

"The equipment is all working fine, but we need to clean this place thoroughly before we can use it." Li hope gently patted the dust off her hands.

Looking at the state of the recording studio, Xiaodeng said, "Well... let's all clean this place up together."

With the help of the five people, the recording studio was quickly cleaned up.

Yue gently patted the dust off her hands and said with a smile, "Thank you all for your hard work. We've finally got this place cleaned up."

Her voice carried a hint of ease and satisfaction, and her eyes sparkled with a warm light. After some effort, the recording studio was finally restored to its original cleanliness and tidiness.

Ai Yin wiped the sweat from her forehead, a relieved smile appearing on her face. "It feels like this place has been completely transformed. From now on, we can use this place as our secret base."

Lixi nodded, looking at the cleaned-up recording studio with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. "Now this place is finally usable. We can start practicing now."

Lena had also put in a lot of effort during the cleaning, and now she was standing next to Yue, reaching out her hand with a mischievous smile on her face, "Yue, you have to give me matcha tomorrow!"

Looking into Lena's expectant eyes, Yue smiled slightly, gently ruffled her hair, and said affectionately, "Okay, okay, I'll buy you matcha tomorrow."
