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

Although she herself wasn't too scared, she understood how Aine felt at that moment.

However, when Yue's gaze fell on Aine, who was almost pressed against the little lamp, she suddenly felt a little confused.

Just moments ago she was saying she was scared, but now Aine is nestled contentedly next to Koden, looking completely relaxed. She was terrified just moments ago, but now she's so naturally close to her; Aine's intentions are becoming questionable.

She had thought Aine would be anxious for days out of fear, but now it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.

"Good evening, meow meow." Meow Dream smiled enthusiastically at the camera. "Today, Meow Dream and her friends came to the beach for a group retreat."

As Miaomeng explained the details of the training camp, she scanned the entire room with her phone camera.

"With Chu Hua, Yue, and Xiao Mu's training camp, Miao Meng is sure to become a hit today!" she thought to herself, a smug smile unconsciously curving her lips.

However, when a person is complacent and overconfident, that is often when she is most relaxed.

Miss Meow Dream suddenly felt a gentle breeze blowing behind her.

Before she could react, her phone had been silently snatched from her hand by a slender hand.

"No filming allowed!" Ms. Sakura's voice rang in Meow Dream's ear, gentle yet firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Huh?" Miao Meng was startled and turned around to see Ms. Sakura standing behind her with a gentle smile on her face.

Before she could react, Ms. Sakura had already quickly operated her phone to delete the video she had just recorded.

"How could this be!" Miao Meng's excitement was instantly dampened, and the smile on her face quickly faded, replaced by deep frustration.

She stared at the empty screen on her phone; the chance to become famous had once again slipped through her fingers.

Ms. Sakura returned the phone to Meowmee, her smile still gentle, but her tone carried a hint of warning, "Remember to be mindful of privacy during this training camp; you can't take pictures without permission."

"But...but..." Miaomeng took the phone dejectedly, seemingly still holding onto some hope.

"No, that won't do!" Sakura Sakura said to Nyanmu with a kind smile.

"Okay... alright!" Miao Meng suddenly felt a chill creep down her spine, realizing that if she said anything more, she would face something terrifying next.

Seeing that Meow Dream had finally given in, Sakura Sakura's smile softened even more. She gently patted Meow Dream's shoulder, signaling her to relax.

"Relax, I'm still your manager, I won't do anything to you."

Just then, Hailing walked over carrying a bag of drinks. Seeing Miaomeng's dejected look, she couldn't help but show her usual expression, "Miaomeng failed again."

"Hai Zi, I've already said it, I'm Miao Meng!" Miao Meng immediately protested, her tone tinged with resentment.

However, Hailing's expression did not change much; she simply nodded slightly, as if she did not take Miaomeng's protest to heart at all.

She walked straight to everyone and handed out the drinks in her hand one by one, "Chuhua, Xiaomu, and everyone from Mygo, here are your drinks."

"Hailin, thank you." Chu Hua took the water, smiled slightly, and then took a sip.

"Do you have any?" Just then, a familiar voice came from behind, carrying a hint of laziness.

"Ah... I bought the chocolate milk." Hailing subconsciously took the milk out of the bag and threw it in the direction of the voice.

"Thank you." The owner of the voice skillfully caught the drink, the movement fluid and seamless, as if this scene had happened countless times before.

Stage Climax: Chapter Fifty-Five - We Can Still See the Moon

"Huh???" Yue was the first to ask a question. Immediately afterwards, everyone else in the room also came to their senses, and all eyes were focused on the doorway.

It turned out that Lixi and Xiangzi had quietly arrived at the door at some point and were standing there silently.

"What's wrong?" Li hope seemed to sense everyone's sudden focus of attention and asked in confusion, while lowering her hand that had been instinctively covering her ears. "Why such a big reaction?"

"Xiangzi, have you finished your work?" Chu Hua spoke first, her tone tinged with concern.

"That's a temporary pause. We've recorded the original melody. Next, we'll need to add other instruments," Xiangzi replied calmly.

"What about the lyrics? Is this song purely instrumental?" Su Shi, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly asked.

“The lyrics… do exist. According to that ghost lady, the lyrics were originally given to her friend to write. But after she passed away, a letter was sent, and these lyrics were inside.”

As he spoke, Xiangzi took out a slightly worn letter from his pocket. The envelope was yellowed and the creases on the edges were clearly visible, indicating that it had been through many years.

There was a line of text written on the envelope; although the handwriting was somewhat messy, the content was still legible.

"A treasure from the first place?" Yue softly read the song title written on the envelope, her tone tinged with curiosity and confusion.

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

Yue slowly opened her eyes in the hazy night. Her hazy consciousness gradually returned, and she turned slightly to the side, wanting to get out of bed and go to the bathroom.

However, just as she was about to turn over, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She remembered that Shiina Ritsuki slept next to her, but now she felt that the bed next to her was empty and that familiar presence was gone.

Yue's brows furrowed slightly, and a sense of doubt and worry arose in her heart.

She quietly lifted the covers, slowly sat up, and searched the dimly lit room for Li Xi.

But the room was silent, everyone was fast asleep, only the moonlight from outside the window shone through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the floor, casting a few faint shadows.

Where did Lixi go? This question flashed through Yue's mind. She gently bit her lower lip and began to consider where Lixi might have gone.

[Did he go to the restroom too?] Yue thought to herself.

Quietly crawl out of bed, trying not to make any noise so as not to wake up the other teammates who are still fast asleep.

She walked lightly to the door, carefully pushed it open, and peeked out.

The corridor was equally quiet, with only the faint glow of the nightlights on the walls barely illuminating the path ahead.

She went through all the rooms and restrooms on this floor, including waking up Miss Ghost from the piano and asking her questions. She searched everywhere she could, but still couldn't find Li Xi.

However, no matter how carefully she searched, she still couldn't find Lixi. Yue's mood grew heavier and heavier, and a sense of unease crept into her heart. She walked to a window and, through a gap in the curtains, glanced at the beach outside. The sea shimmered faintly with silver light under the moonlight.

"I can't possibly go to the beach at night like Su Shi, can I?" Yue thought subconsciously.

While trying to reassure herself that it was impossible, Yue couldn't calm herself down. She had a feeling that Li hope might really be like Su Shi, running off to the beach in the middle of the night. Unable to suppress her worries, she finally put on her coat and prepared to go out to search.

Just as she reached the villa's entrance, her hand touched the doorknob, preparing to push the door open, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the second floor.

"moon?"

She was slightly taken aback, looked up at the source of the sound, and found Shiina Tatsuki sitting on the second-floor balcony, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand and a laptop in front of her.

The dim light from the screen illuminated her face, making her look slightly tired.

Yue breathed a sigh of relief; the anxiety that had been hanging over her finally subsided.

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

"Yue, why aren't you sleeping so late? Want to go to the beach for a walk?" Li hope took a sip of her hot tea, the aroma filling the cool night breeze. She tried to shake off her drowsiness with the help of tea polyphenols, but the faint weariness in her eyes was still undeniable.

Yue looked at Lixi helplessly, crossed her arms, frowned slightly, and said with a hint of reproach in her tone, "Isn't it because you're working overtime on the balcony so late at night instead of sleeping? What were you thinking?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, but I thought it would be best to resolve things within the next few days, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble when I get back," Li hope said while operating the tablet.

Looking at Lixi staring intently at the tablet, Yue felt both helpless and heartbroken.

She stepped forward and gently yet firmly pressed the button on the tablet in Li hope's hand. Li hope was slightly taken aback, looked up, and met Yue's gentle yet resolute eyes.

Her hand was gently held by the moon, and the air around them seemed to freeze, leaving only their heartbeats echoing in the quiet night.

The dark clouds parted at just the right moment, and the moonlight generously shone on their tightly clasped arms, bringing them even closer together, their breaths mingling in the soft light.

"Lixi," Yue's voice softened slightly, but still carried an undeniable firmness, "You can do the work tomorrow. What you need now is rest. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it."

Li hope was slightly taken aback, but looking at Yue's determined eyes, he knew that it would be impossible for him to write another note tonight.

Her finger hovered over the tablet for a moment before she finally turned off the device and sighed softly.

"Okay, whatever you say." Li hope finally gave in, her tone tinged with helplessness and gratitude.

Seeing this, Yue smiled with satisfaction.

She took Lixi's hand again and pulled her up from the chair. "Let's go back to our room and sleep."

The two walked hand in hand towards the room, the night breeze gently caressing their faces, bringing a touch of coolness. Yue looked down at Lixi, still curious about her decision to work overtime on the balcony.

“By the way,” Yue suddenly broke the silence, her tone tinged with a hint of doubt and teasing, “why did you choose to be on the balcony? Aren’t there plenty of empty rooms here?”

She looked up, her gaze passing over the moon to the still slightly swaying night sky. "Because the sea breeze blowing on the balcony at night is quite comfortable and refreshing."

“And… we can also see the moon.” As Li hope said this, she looked at the moon beside her.

Climax Stage: Chapter 56 Someone Who Can't Sleep

Ms. Momoko Kurosawa was not asleep.

She lay in the bedding, everything around her was quiet, and she could occasionally hear the soft breathing of someone beside her.

However, she couldn't fall asleep. A slight excitement and nervousness rippled through her mind like tiny waves.

She wasn't uncomfortable sleeping with everyone; after all, she didn't mind such group activities.

What truly kept her tossing and turning, unable to sleep, was a particular reason—or rather, a certain person.

Momoko Kurosawa secretly opened her eyes and, using the faint moonlight, secretly observed Miss Yue not far away.

Yue lay quietly to the side, reclining on her side, breathing steadily, as if she had already drifted off to sleep.

Despite the hazy night, the moon's gentle face still made Peach's heart race.

She slowly closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down, but the images in her mind kept appearing uncontrollably.

She recalled the scene from earlier that day: Miss Yue playing on the beach in her swimsuit, her slender figure and radiant smile lingering in her memory.

Momoko Kurosawa sighed silently to herself, feeling her cheeks burning. She tried to calm herself down and stop thinking about those heart-pounding images.

"No... I can't think about these things anymore, I need to go to sleep early," she said to herself.

So she turned over, her back to Miss Yue, trying to pull her thoughts back from those distracting ideas.

She closed her eyes, trying to relax, but found that she still couldn't calm down.

The scene she had witnessed during the day still lingered in her mind, as if those images were deeply imprinted in her memory and could not be erased.

Just as she was trying to fall asleep, she suddenly heard a faint sound in her ear.

It was the sound of someone gently getting up.

Peach instinctively held her breath and quietly opened her eyes a crack, wanting to see who was still awake so late at night.
