He should have realized it sooner; given Tachibana Rin's personality, once she found out his exact address, she would definitely come knocking on his door one day.

After being so well-behaved for so long, I finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Rather, it's amazing that she could endure it for so long.

Tazaki Toru almost admired her.

After entering the house, Tachibana Rin put on the wrong-sized guest slippers and shuffled to the living room's floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking at the vast Tokyo night view outside and the Tokyo Tower so close by, even a wealthy woman from Osaka like her couldn't help but marvel and sigh, "It's good to be rich."

Tazaki Toru asked, "What about dinner?"

"I haven't eaten yet; I'm saving room for it."

"So you came here to freeload a meal."

Rin Tachibana rolled her eyes at Toru Tazaki, then unceremoniously sat down on the living room sofa, crossing her legs as if it were her own home.

"I thought you would bring Ms. Hina along."

"She has to participate in the rehearsal of the stage play every night, and I'm so bored at home alone."

"I thought you must be incredibly lonely living alone, and you might even cry because you can't see me, so I kindly came to visit you and gave you a chance to cook for me. You're welcome."

Tazaki Toru was both amused and exasperated, thinking to herself that she had arrived at the perfect time. If she had arrived just a few minutes later, Tazaki Toru would have already started cooking a single serving of rice in the rice cooker.

"I understand. I'll go cook now. If Miss Mingyou is bored, you can go to the recording studio to play the piano."

Rin Tachibana was speechless.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I play the piano when I come to your house?"

"Alright, alright, don't worry about me, go and cook, I'm hungry."

While Tazaki Toru was cooking, Tachibana Rin began to wander freely around the house, looking here and there.

It was almost like they were checking if he had secretly brought any girls home.

If Rin Tachibana finds another girl's hair in the bathroom or bedroom, she's sure she'll burst into tears, grab his collar, and yell at him without hesitation.

Although I told Tazaki Toru that I would never go to the recording studio to play the piano, given Tazaki Toru's personality, I'm sure that even after moving to a new house, he will still spend all his time writing songs and composing music, just like when he was in Tsukishima.

Therefore, Rin Tachibana still obediently went into the recording studio for a visit.

Upon entering, one immediately senses a rather dull atmosphere. The place is clean and tidy, with all the decorations meticulously arranged, giving off a "Toru Tazaki" vibe from the inside out.

Rin Tachibana quickly left the recording studio and returned to the living room, looking around at Toru Tazaki, who was busy in the open kitchen.

Tazaki Toru was chopping vegetables when he suddenly heard the "click" of a mobile phone shutter. He subconsciously looked towards Tachibana Rin.

"Send it to Japanese foodies to show off."

She spoke with absolute certainty.

Tazaki Toru did not stop her and let her go.

Mentioning Aoki Hina's name at this moment always reminds Tazaki Toru of his conversation with Himiya Hina that night.

Thinking of this, Tazaki Toru couldn't help but glance at Tachibana Rin again.

How have the rehearsals been lately?

"Rehearsal? Oh, you mean MyGO? It's alright, except the lead singer occasionally goes off-key or forgets lyrics, everything else is normal."

Where is the normal part? I'm asking you.

However, the lead singer's problems weren't new, so they were within Toru Tazaki's expectations.

“Miss Yang Gong’s situation is somewhat special, so there’s no need to be too harsh on her.”

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Rin instantly became displeased.

"How can you say that too? It's one thing for Hina to have ulterior motives, but you're even joining in. What's wrong? Do you like her?"

"Hidden motives?"

"Ugh! Heaven knows what Hina was thinking. She even made a special appointment with Mi..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tachibana Rin's voice suddenly stopped, and she covered her mouth with both hands.

Hina Aoki intended to recruit Hina Hitomiya to her team, but she kept this a secret from Rin Tachibana, which is why Rin Tachibana is currently so puzzled.

Tazaki Toru keenly noticed the unusual tone and expression in Rin's face and cast a puzzled look at her.

"What did you agree to?"

Rin Tachibana's eyes darted around a few times before she quickly shook her head.

"There's nothing there, you must have misheard."

When it comes to lying, Tachibana Rin is far less adept than Aoki Hina; even Tazaki Toru could see through her lies at a glance.

The reason why Hinata Himegami confessed her feelings to him was because Hina Aoki encouraged her.

Thinking about it carefully, it's equally unbelievable that Aries Fina knew there were other girls in the band who liked him.

Thinking about it this way, Toru Tazaki could only conclude that Hina Aoki had taken the initiative to tell him this.

When recalling Hina Hitomi and Mika Kohinata, it seems that the name Hina Aoki is always mentioned when talking to him about these things.

Is it a coincidence if one person is involved, and also if two people are involved?

Tazaki Toru couldn't yet grasp the meaning behind this.

Tazaki Toru thought for a while but still couldn't come up with a solution, so he couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Tachibana Rin.

"Miss Mingyou, could it be... that you're hiding something from me?"

Rin Tachibana's shoulders trembled, and cold sweat poured down her back.

No, that's not true.

Tachibana Rin's guilty look was suspicious no matter how you looked at her. She turned her head away, not daring to meet Tazaki Toru's gaze at all, and pretended to whistle a couple of times.

As usual, no sound.

Seeing that Tachibana Rin was determined not to tell him, Tazaki Toru sighed helplessly, deciding not to force her.

For some reason, Tazaki Toru vaguely sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on where it came from.

He could only believe in his heart that Hina Aoki was a polite and sensible girl who wouldn't do anything inexplicable.

581. As expected of the lead singer, she can easily do things that the bassist cannot.

Rin Tachibana was unusually well-behaved today.

After finishing the dinner prepared by Toru Tazaki, I lay on the sofa for a while and then said goodbye and left before nine o'clock.

She left with a furtive expression, as if afraid that Tazaki Toru would ask about what had happened earlier.

After Tachibana Rin left, Tazaki Toru, as usual, went into the recording studio and stayed until late at night.

It's truly unbelievable, but when Tachibana Rin was around, he found a sense of familiarity in this house.

Once Rin Tachibana left, the empty luxury apartment turned into a cold, lifeless prison cell, where even the temperature seemed to drop suddenly.

Tazaki Toru is not a person who enjoys crowds, but it seems that they have subtly changed her appearance.

Tazaki Toru didn't know whether this change was good or bad.

But in this quiet recording studio late at night, I couldn't hear any familiar voices.

Inevitably, a sense of loneliness arises.

……

……

One evening in late June.

Inside the MyGO lounge.

After rehearsals ended, Kobayashi Kotori picked up her packed backpack.

"Little Sheep, it seems like your next job is at the same recording studio as mine, let's go together."

Upon hearing this, Yang Gongfei Na showed a slightly apologetic expression.

"Sorry, Coco, you should go now."

"Huh? Is there something else? Do you want me to stay and practice extra?"

"Well……"

Hina Himegami's gaze flickered slightly, her expression awkward and hesitant as she said, "I have something I'd like to discuss with Hina-chan."

"Eh?"

Kobayashi Koko looked surprised, and the other members, having heard Yang Gongfei's words, also looked over.

Hina Aoki, however, remained expressionless, as if she had expected this to happen.

Kobayashi Koko wanted to offer to stay and keep her company, but she had work to do, so after glancing at Himiya Hina and Aoki Hina, she had to take her leave.

But I felt a little awkward inside.

"Okay, I'll be going now. Bye everyone."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

“Then I will too…” Mika Kohinata stood up, also preparing to take her leave.

"Mika-chan, could you stay for a little while?"

Mika Kohinata was taken aback by what she heard and looked blankly at Hina Hiyomiya.

As the most perceptive among them, Aoki Hina keenly caught a subtle signal.

"By the way, Rin-chan, I saw in the weather forecast that it will rain tonight. When you get home, hurry up and bring in the clothes that are drying in the yard."

what?

Rin Tachibana looked at Haru-nee with a strange expression, thinking to herself, "When did you hang up the laundry?"

Don't tell me you're trying to whisper something and deliberately ostracize me.
