Lonely Rock: Love Songs Dedicated to the Stars

PA put away his little cushion, and Pochi, who was next to him, realized that he was leaning on Kita's shoulder and quickly apologized.

"Thank you, Kita." Ryo wasn't embarrassed at all. After stretching, he thanked Kita directly and then looked out the window.

The scenery outside the car window rushed past, and the ocean and beach were already clearly visible. It was still early, so there weren't many people on the beach.

A few minutes later, the car drove into a small seaside resort town. The town wasn't big, with many souvenir shops and guesthouses, and the streets were full of tourists playing on the beach. The villa was on the edge of the town, and Youxing parked the car in front of it.

Everyone got out of the car and took their luggage out of the trunk. Yu-Zhen and Yu-Xing carried the barbecue grill out into the yard.

"All the ingredients have been bought and are in the refrigerator. Feel free to use them as you like." Youxing led everyone into the house. "Also, you can choose any room on the second floor. The rooms all have double beds, and the blankets and sheets are clean and ready to use. There's a music room on the third floor with a piano and some sound effects equipment. There are bathrooms on all three floors, and two showers."

Then Yuuki led them to the back door of the villa, where a large fan-shaped beach came into view, flanked by mountains on both sides. The shallow and deep waters were separated by a fence, so accidents were unlikely.

After the band ended, the members couldn't wait to run out to the beach, take off their shoes and socks and step onto the sand. Then PA joined them.

After dropping them off, Youxing prepared to drive away.

"Uncle Yuuki, won't you join us?"

Yuuki, who had just reached the car door, almost tripped when he heard Kita's words. He looked at the group and said, "I'm not that old yet, why are you calling me 'uncle'?"

"Aren't you already thirty-four?" Yuzhen asked, looking at him.

"He's only five years older than you, so why are you the older brother and I'm the uncle?"

"Alright, alright, it's just a form of address."

After getting into the car, Youxing closed the door and fastened his seatbelt. He rolled down the window and said, "I won't stay any longer. I have some things to take care of. I'll pick you up again tomorrow afternoon. Have fun."

"You don't need to worry about that. Just be careful."

After Yuuki left, everyone went back inside together. As soon as they entered, Kita and Nijika pulled Ryo and Pochi upstairs to choose rooms, and PA followed with his luggage, smiling.

"Haven't you been here before? You seem quite unfamiliar with this place," Xingge asked Youzhen.

“I only know that my mom bought this place back then, but I’ve never been here. My older brother has always hired people to take care of the house,” Yuzhen replied. “You should go pick a room too. I’ll take another look around.”

After putting his and Xingge's luggage on the second floor, Youzhen went downstairs to the front yard of the villa. He had noticed a pizza oven when he came in, and after checking it, he found that it was working properly.

"We can bake pizzas here now, and there are plenty of ingredients in the fridge," Yuma muttered to herself, looking at the oven.

He returned to the second floor of the villa and just saw Xingge coming out of her room.

"Have you chosen a room?"

"They all felt the same, so I just randomly picked one."

"Have they chosen my room yet? Which room will I stay in?"

Hearing Yuuma's words, Hoshika asked him in confusion, "Aren't you sharing a room with me?"

When did I say that?

Xingge looked at the guy in front of her with a wicked grin, stepped on his foot, and then turned around and went back to her room.

"Where are you going?" Yuzhen followed her helplessly.

"Move your things out of my room."

"Please don't do this. I was wrong. I shouldn't have joked around with you."

Yuzhen grabbed her waist from behind, successfully preventing her from kicking him out.

……

"Here comes the ocean!"

On the beach, Yuuma had just set up the beach chair and parasol when she heard Kita's excited voice. Kita, who had already changed into her swimsuit, grabbed Pochi and Ryo and darted past her, with Nijika chasing after them, before they all rushed into the sea.

"They're so energetic." PA, who had changed into her swimsuit and was still wearing sunglasses, sat on a beach chair under a parasol, watching the four little ones playing in the sea.

"Has Xingge not appeared yet?"

"She seems a little embarrassed." PA picked up the juice from the folding table. "Ah, here it comes."

Yuzhen turned around and saw Xingge coming out of the house. She had indeed changed into her swimsuit, and her hair, which was usually loose, was tied up in a high ponytail. However, she was wearing a jacket over her upper body, and her two white thighs were exposed. As she walked, you could vaguely see the gray swimsuit underneath.

"Is this some kind of surprise for me to uncover?" Yuzhen opened another parasol and stuck it on the beach, then spread out a picnic blanket, sat on it, and looked up at Xingge who had come to her.

"It's because..." She couldn't think of a good reason herself; she lacked the confidence to show off her figure in front of the vibrant high school students and PAs.

Yuzhen stood up, walked around behind her, wrapped her arms around her, and then unzipped her coat.

"Isn't this great? I love it."

"I knew you'd say that."

Yuzhen leaned down slightly behind her and hugged her, just enough to rest her head on her shoulder and look at her profile.

Xingge felt his breath and turned her face, which was slowly turning red, to the other side so that he wouldn't see.

"Why does the juice that Kenzaki made taste a little sour?" PA lay on the beach chair, looking at the two of them, and snapped a photo with her phone.

After the band finished playing, the members, tired from their performance, returned to the parasol and each grabbed a glass of juice from the table.

"Can someone help me apply sunscreen?" PA took out a bottle of sunscreen from a small bag next to her.

"Let me help you." Xingge took the sunscreen she handed over.

The picnic blanket was large enough, so PA lay down, and Xingge squeezed some sunscreen from the bottle onto her back, then helped her spread it evenly. After applying it, PA flipped over.

"You can apply the paint yourself, right?"

"The store manager is so boring. Fine, I'll apply it myself."

PA's actions reminded Kita, and she also took out a tube of sunscreen from her bag and brought it close to Ryo's side.

"Senior Liang, could you help me apply sunscreen?"

"Sure, can I use it after you've applied it?"

"of course can."

On the other side, Pochi was applying sunscreen to Hongxia with her eyes closed, and then she accidentally applied it to Hongxia's hair.

"Poch-chan, not there."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry."

After PA finished applying the sunscreen, she took the sunscreen that Hoshika had just taken out and put it in her own hand. When Hoshika thought she was going to help her apply it, she threw the sunscreen in front of Kenzaki Yuuma, who was sitting next to her drinking a beverage.

"Boss Kenzaki, the manager wants you to apply this for her."

After saying that, she winked at Xingge and pushed her next to Youzhen.

Xingge lay down in front of Youzhen, burying her face in the crook of her arm that was cushioning her.

Yuzhen squeezed sunscreen onto his hand, something he'd never done before. He spread the sunscreen in his palm, then placed his hand on Xingge's back, and felt Xingge tremble slightly.

Just as he was about to apply the sunscreen evenly, he heard a strange cry of "Eee-ya-ya-ya-ya!" coming from the side. He turned his head to look, and Xingge also looked up.

It was Kita who made the sound. She felt the cool hand moving on her back and couldn't help but blush and shout excitedly.

Yuzhen turned her head back, and Xingge buried her head back in her arms, feeling Yuzhen's hands spreading the smooth sunscreen evenly on her back, then her arms, and then her legs.

Where Hoshigo couldn't see, Yuuma's face grew increasingly red. Touching Hoshigo's leg in front of everyone gave him a strange sense of excitement; he felt a little thrilled.

The others stayed on the beach to continue playing. Yuzhen delivered the watermelon, volleyball, and swim ring she had bought to them on the beach before going back inside to prepare lunch.

He steamed a large pot of rice, then took some chicken out of the refrigerator and made fried chicken nuggets. He also made miso soup and fried a few fish.

After playing for a while, the girls went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed back into their own clothes, and then went to the restaurant to have lunch together.

After lunch, Yuuma didn't rest either. He had to marinate the meat for the barbecue that night, skewer the vegetables, and make the pizza dough. Fortunately, with Nijika's help, he wasn't too tired.

"Hongxia is having a barbecue with everyone tonight, how about I make pizza for everyone?"

"Okay, brother, do you know how to use the pizza oven in the yard?"

"No problem, I've used that thing before."

Hoshika and PA tried to help, but they only made things worse, so they were pushed out by Nijika and Yuuma and had to go to the living room to play cards with Kita and the others.

"Alright, this should be enough for us."

Yuma and Nijika put the meat in the refrigerator to marinate, cleaned the kitchen, and then came out together. They saw PA and Hoshika with notes stuck all over their faces by Kita and Ryo after losing a card game. By the way, Pochi has never lost.

Xingge and PA were not satisfied, so they took out the game console they found in Youzhen's suitcase and insisted on finding a different way to settle the score with Kita and the others.

PA's gaming skills are undoubtedly excellent. Although she primarily plays FPS games during her streams, she also has some knowledge of fighting games. However, Xingge and Youzhen are not so good. Youzhen is both bad and loves to play; he's okay with single-player games, and he can even grind for them, but competitive games are not very friendly to someone with his clumsy hands. Xingge is simply bad, nothing more to say.

After losing to Boqi more than ten times, Xingge finally collapsed on the sofa, exhausted.

Yuzhen was sitting on the sofa, with Xingge's legs draped over his. He suddenly felt someone poking him from behind, and when he turned around, he saw Liang.

"what happened?"

“I found this.” Liang pointed to the hand-cranked slush machine she found in the kitchen cabinet. “I want to eat slush.”

"Okay, okay, I'll make it for you."

Yuzhen patted Xingge's leg helplessly. After Xingge lifted her leg, Yuzhen got up, picked up the slush machine, washed it, and put it on the living room table.

Ryo and Kita found edible ice cubes in the refrigerator, and then Yuma started spinning the joystick until everyone had a bowl of shaved ice topped with yogurt and garnished with fruit.

Yuma rubbed his arm, hating joysticks more than ever before. He didn't even want to touch the Build belt at home anymore.

A spoonful of shaved ice mixed with yogurt and strawberry pieces was offered to Yuzhen's mouth. He instinctively moved his head back a little before realizing that it was Xingge who had given it to him.

"What are you looking at? Are you going to eat or not?"

Yuzhen swallowed the shaved ice in the spoon in one gulp, and then he covered his forehead.

"Idiot, who told you to eat so fast?"

Despite saying that, Xingge still put down her spoon and bowl and helped Youzhen rub her forehead.

"My Xingge is so gentle, am I dreaming?"

Then Yuuma received a chop to the neck.

Xingge still made him a bowl of shaved ice as well.

"So sweet." Yuzhen deliberately made a pained expression, giving the impression that he had just eaten not a spoonful of shaved ice, but a spoonful of highly concentrated saccharin.

"Did I add too much syrup? Let me taste it."

Xingge tried to scoop the shaved ice from Youzhen's bowl with a spoon, but Youzhen grabbed her wrist and pulled her close, their lips meeting.
