Lonely Rock: Love Songs Dedicated to the Stars

Yu-chan froze, feeling as if he had heard the most malicious sentence in the world.

Chapter 98 After that...

How could Yuuma do nothing after realizing that Hoshika was acting strangely? He's a very possessive person.

He asked Youxing to help him find out what happened on Xingge's side.

But someone was faster than him.

“I’m glad you’re thinking of him, but I don’t agree with your approach.”

Yu Xing sat on the sofa in his office, his smile fading. Xing Ge sat opposite him.

"He might really hate you."

"That was my own choice."

Yu Xing couldn't persuade her at all, so she leaned back helplessly against the sofa, looked at the office ceiling, and thought for a while.

"I will definitely tell him something. As for his subsequent choices, that's up to him."

"Thank you."

After Xingge left, Youxing turned on her computer again.

He had just taken over this branch office from his father a few days ago to get a feel for it, and now he was going to continue with the "Don't underestimate a young person's potential" segment that he had been looking forward to for a long time.

As for Yuuma, I'll tell him about it later.

……

Let's break up.

Upon hearing Xingge's words, Youzhen paused. He pulled his hand out of his pocket.

“Wait, Xingge, isn’t it April Fool’s Day?” Youzhen thought Xingge was probably joking with him again. “It’s already November, April Fool’s Day is still a long way off.”

“I’m not joking with you.” Xingge tried to appear calm; she couldn’t give herself away first. “We’ve had enough of this after all these years. That’s it, I’m leaving.”

"Wait! What are you talking about! How can I possibly accept such a reason!" Yuma grabbed Hoshika's arm.

"Whether you accept it or not is your business. I'm just giving you a heads-up." Xingge suddenly shook off his hand. "I'm already fed up."

Yuzhen stood there, stunned, watching Xingge's figure disappear.

Why would you say such malicious things?

Yuu didn't know how he left the coffee shop, nor did he remember how long he had been walking. But when he came to his senses and looked up, he saw a bar. It was Yuu's bar.

It was his first time drinking alcohol, even though it was just beer.

It was very bitter, and Yuma knew from the first encounter that she could never like this kind of thing.

"Hey buddy, wanna grab a drink with me?"

Yuzhen glanced at the woman; she was someone he didn't recognize.

"Get out of here."

He's in a really bad mood right now, so he's definitely not going to give this kind of person a friendly look.

"What a boring story. Aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

"It's noisy."

Yuma waved, and the bar's security guards came over.

"Get her out."

"Okay, boss."

It seems this was Yuxing's request; the employees here address both of them as "boss."

But unexpectedly, this cliché scene actually happened. Yuma, drinking her beverage and watching the woman being pushed out by security, suddenly found bars quite interesting.

"When did you learn to drink, kid?"

Yuma felt someone tap his shoulder, but he recognized who it was just by the voice.

He looked to the side and, sure enough, Kenzaki Yuuki was sitting next to him.

"What are you doing here? Did you come here specifically to mock your brother because you know he got dumped?"

"Is that how you see me?" Yuuki knew Yuuma was joking, so he opened a bottle of beer and drank with Yuuma. "I'm here to deliver information to you."

"What intelligence?"

Yuma became interested; if someone was delivering information at this time, it could only be about Hoshika.

“I can tell you that those words were not what she meant.”

"really?"

"Would I lie to you?" Yuxing snatched the bottle of wine from Yuzhen's hand. "But I advise you not to go looking for her. She was serious about breaking up with you. Face the facts."

"What? I thought there was hope." Yuzhen leaned on the bar, feeling a little dizzy.

"You're quite the romantic, aren't you?"

"What's it to you?" He glanced at Youxing. "I'm very sad right now."

"Alright, alright, now you're single just like me." Yuxing tapped Yuzhen's head with the bottom of the bottle. "I'm coming to your house for dinner tonight. I want to eat your braised pork chop rice."

"Still want pork cutlet rice? Can't you see I'm heartbroken?" Yuuma glared at Yuuki with hostility. "I'll tear the batter off the pork cutlet for you later!"

"Hey? Why would you say something so malicious!?"

……

After that, Yuma buried herself in her graduation thesis and defense.

Since Xingge is determined to break up with him, he'll just go along with it. After all, Xingge has been willful with him so many times, one more time won't make a difference.

After graduation, Yuzhen ran away from home to clear her head.

He went to Yokohama first. Aikawa and Ueshiro didn't pursue further education after graduation. They got married, moved there, opened a cake shop, and lived a happy life.

Later, he went to Okinawa and met Umino-senpai, who was already a mother of two.

Senior Omori was working abroad, and Yuma had a long video chat with him.

In the end, Yuuma went to Izu to see his senior, Tokita. After graduating from university, he stayed there to work and married his childhood friend.

However, Yuuma felt that Izu was not quite what he had imagined, because Tokita-senpai took him to a shop called Azure Sea.

Then Yuma got drunk from a glass of diluted "water of life".

"Senior, you're right. I'm so young, I shouldn't be stuck here!" Even though Yuzhen was drunk, he was still quite restrained. He was only wearing swimming trunks and was on the beach with everyone. He took the diamond ring he had prepared earlier out of the box and held it in his hand.

"Wait, senior, that diamond ring of his doesn't look cheap!" Tokita's juniors huddled together and whispered, "Just who is he?"

"His father and older brother could easily sink you into Tokyo Bay, that's all I'll say."

When the group heard what Shi Tian said, they remembered how they had noticed this handsome guy who looked like a delinquent attracting the attention of the female students after he arrived. So they had tried to get him drunk and make him look foolish. Although they hadn't succeeded, they felt that their future might be bleak.

“This is no longer needed!” Yuzhen raised her arm and threw the diamond ring into the sea.

"Wait! You're just going to say you don't want something this expensive?!"

The boys who were just drinking suddenly plunged into the sea.

"Are you sure it's okay to lose it?" Tokita stood next to Yuuma and patted him on the shoulder.

“I can just buy it when I need it. I’ve saved up some money over the years.” Yuzhen mumbled something that made everyone present think he was completely inhuman. “I have a vague feeling that there’s definitely still a chance. But I don’t want to use old things that carry sadness when that time comes. I want to start over.”

……

"That's it. Then I went back and packed my things, and later I went to Kawasaki and formed a band." Yuma finished telling the story. "You all know what happened after that."

"I see, I've caused trouble for my older brother and sister." Hongxia suddenly had tears in her eyes. "Red bean mud, smother, thank you!"

"It wasn't Hongxia's fault. If I had insisted a little more back then, things might have been different." Youzhen took out a tissue and wiped Hongxia's tears. "Alright, alright, go to rehearsal. Don't you have a performance this afternoon?"

Hongxia didn't go to the rehearsal room; she said she was going out to buy something.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the performance hall, she found her sister leaning against the wall at the door, her sister, Ijichi Seika, completely burned out.

"Sister! Are you alright?!"

"I broke up with him on his birthday?! !" Xingge wanted to punch her past self when she remembered what she said back then. "And I even happened to stumble upon his marriage proposal?!"

Xingge desperately wants to sever ties with her past self, but unfortunately, it's too late now.

Chapter 99 Let her hug me if she wants to.

"Let's break up. I've had enough."

Kenzaki Yuuma no longer showed his usual smile, and his tone sounded like there was absolutely no room for negotiation.

"I remember this was the birthday present you gave me a few years ago, right? I'm returning this to you now, you won't mind, will you?"

"Wait! What did you say...?"

Xingge stepped forward to grab Youzhen's hand, but he pushed her down in one go.

She felt herself falling continuously, without any sense of touching the ground.

Xingge suddenly opened her eyes on the bed in the lounge. She rubbed her forehead and sat up. She looked at her hands and the familiar room and realized that she had just been dreaming.

"You're awake. Why were you shouting so loudly? Did you have a nightmare?" Yuzhen pushed open the door when she heard Xingge's voice. "Hongxia found you unconscious at the door just now, it scared me to death. Are you alright...?"

As Yuzhen spoke, he walked towards Xingge. Before he could finish speaking, Xingge, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly hugged his waist and bumped her forehead into his stomach.

"What's wrong with you?" Yuzhen was quite shocked, but he still managed to force a smile and gently patted Xingge's back to soothe her. "Did you really have a nightmare? Why are you acting like a child? It's okay, I'm here."

Hoshigo held onto Yuuma tightly, refusing to let go. Yuuma had no idea what Hoshigo was doing, but she let her hold on as she pleased.

Xingge's face was buried in Youzhen's abdomen, and her breath warmed Youzhen's clothes, making Youzhen feel quite warm on her stomach.

"I'm sorry." Xingge finally let go of him and sat on the bed in the lounge with her knees drawn up to her chest. "I didn't know it was your birthday that day."

"Just because of that?"

“What do you mean by ‘just because of this’?” Xingge turned to look at Youzhen, who was squatting by the bed. “That day was your birthday, a day that should have been celebrated, but I said those kinds of things.”
