The teacher walked into the classroom on time. He was about forty years old and had long, flaxen hair like an artist, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Today we will delve into the emotional expression of chord progressions."

The teacher wrote several complex chord combinations on the whiteboard, the chalk making a crisp sound as it rubbed against the blackboard. "Especially how to use jazz chords in pop music to add layers to the work and give simple melodies a richer emotional dimension."

Genkawa Yu immediately got into study mode.

He opened his brand-new notebook, his pen moving smoothly across the paper as he recorded every important point.

Learning music theory and composition is very important; he wants to create the perfect theme song for "Your Name," a film that will determine Suoh Hayabusa's future.

Thinking about the importance of this movie, Yuu Minakawa's eyes became even more focused, as if he wanted to engrave every word his teacher said into his mind.

Suo Shun, his most important ally at the Burning Company, is at a crucial juncture in the struggle for the presidency.

The commercial success of the film "Your Name" will be one of the most important bargaining chips in his and Suoh Shun's hands, and they must ensure that it goes smoothly. This is not only related to the other party's future, but also to his own plans in the entertainment industry.

Yuan Chuanyou is well aware that in this seemingly glamorous industry, every opportunity is hard-won, and every success requires careful planning and all-out effort.

Moreover, he carries many hopes on his shoulders and must do every step perfectly.

"teacher."

Genkawa Yu raised his hand to ask a question, his slender fingers drawing an elegant arc in the air: "If you want to create a sense of destiny in the chorus, what kind of chord progression would you recommend? In particular, to express the kind of encounter and parting that transcends time and space."

The teacher nodded approvingly and drew a complex chord diagram on the whiteboard.

"Very good question. You could consider using a lowered sixth dominant chord, combined with a delayed resolution, and some chromatic transitions..."

Asakura Toru sat quietly to the side, her gaze sometimes falling on the tip of Genkawa Yu's rapidly writing pen, and sometimes looking at the complex musical notes on the whiteboard.

She noticed all of these subtle movements, even after she had investigated them.

The two-hour class passed quickly amidst the intensive knowledge delivery.

When the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, Genkawa Yuzai snapped out of his focused state.

He rubbed his slightly sore right wrist, looked at the dense notes in his notebook, and breathed a satisfied sigh of relief.

I glanced at the system panel, and my hard work paid off.

"Professor Uehara's chord theory is very interesting."

While organizing his notes, Yu Genkawa said to Toru Asakura, his voice filled with a sense of accomplishment, "It should be especially helpful for creating film scores, as it can enhance the emotional impact of the visuals."

Asakura Toru nodded slightly, her short purple hair swaying gently with her movements, gleaming softly in the sunlight.

"Indeed, film music does need richer emotional layers, to express infinite emotions within a limited number of notes."

Just as they finished packing up and were about to leave the classroom, a lively voice came from the doorway, breaking the last vestiges of tranquility.

"Toru-chan! So you're here. Oh, Genkawa-kun is here too!"

MEM rushed into the classroom like a whirlwind. Today she was wearing a bright yellow dress, paired with white ankle boots and a matching headband, making her look as dazzling as a little sun.

She affectionately took Asakura Toru's arm, but her gaze lingered on Genkawa Yu, her eyes sparkling with surprise.

"MEM chirp?"

Asakura Toru's tone remained calm, but those familiar with her could detect a subtle hint of surprise. She remembered that she did have an appointment with MEM Chu today, but she didn't expect the other party to come directly to the music classroom.

"Didn't we agree to go to that newly opened concept store together today?"

MEM blinked her big eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, then turned to Genkawa Yu with a bright smile.

"Yuanchuan-kun is really popular! I saw the news. You have a lot of fans in Xia Country too. That's amazing!"

Genkawa Yu was already used to MEM Chu's enthusiasm and responded with a smile.

"MEM, your account hasn't been updated for days, and you're still thinking about playing?"

"It's precisely because preparing the new video is so hard that we need to relax a bit!" MEM chirped playfully, then, as if suddenly remembering something, leaned closer to Genkawa Yu and asked.

"By the way, Genkawa-kun, do you have any plans for today?"

Genkawa Yu glanced at the watch on his wrist, a gift from Sakurajima Mai, its dial reflecting a subtle glow in the sunlight.

"I'm planning to look at the script this afternoon... What are you going to do?"

"Hehehe, you can read the script anytime, which means you, a busy person, have time today, right?"

MEM clapped excitedly, her delicate manicure sparkling under the lights. She glanced quickly at Asakura Toru, her eyes conveying a message only they understood.

"Would you like to go shopping and see a movie with us later? It's been so long since you've gotten together with us old friends!"

Genkawa Yu turned his gaze to Asakura Toru, his expression questioning.

"Asakura, don't you have rehearsal today?"

Asakura Toru raised his eyes and calmly replied, "I don't need to go to rehearsal today."

The girl paused, then added, "And there's a movie... I've been looking forward to it."

She didn't specify which movie it was, and her tone remained as calm as ever, but the words she uttered at that moment seemed particularly fitting.

MEM immediately understood and quickly replied in an exaggerated and vivid tone.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! There's a new art film that just came out recently. I heard it's really good and has super high ratings! Genkawa-kun, let's go together! You don't have any work today anyway."

"Hmph, the chances of getting a date with someone as busy as you are very slim."

Genkawa Yu looked at the two girls in front of him. MEM Chui was as outspoken as ever, while Asakura Toru still exuded a unique aura.

"Asakura, do you want to go too?" he asked again.

"Ah."

"Well..."

Genkawa Yu thought for a moment. Kurokawa Akane had to go to the theater troupe for rehearsal today and left early in the morning. She probably wouldn't be home until very late.

Moreover, since the end of "Love is a Required Course in Life", everyone has been busy with their own things and it has indeed been a long time since we had a get-together.

"Alright, I'll contact Kumano and Morimoto then."

Yuan Chuanyu finally nodded and took out his phone to send a message in the group.

"They're all busy today!"

MEM interrupted Genkawa Yu's actions immediately, causing him to pause slightly in surprise.

"Let's go to the movies together as a trio today."

"..."

"Are you sure they're all busy?" Genkawa Yu's "eye pressure" fell on MEM Chuu, but she was not intimidated at all. She nodded and muttered, "If Genkawa-kun doesn't believe me, you can send a message in the group to ask."

“.Nine?Liaosi Lu7baerUz..Never mind.”

It wasn't that Yuan Chuanyu didn't trust MEM Chuu; anyway, it wasn't a big deal, so let's leave it at that for now.

“However, we…” Genkawa Yu pointed to himself and Asakura Toru. As currently popular male actors and rising idols, every public appearance of theirs could become material for gossip magazines.

"Can we go to the movie theater?"

"Hehehe, you don't need to worry about that."

MEM confidently patted her chest, "I know an art cinema with a quiet and peaceful environment. There definitely won't be many people at this time! Plus, they pay special attention to customer privacy, making them the first choice for many artists!"

"Alright, then lead the way."

"okok!"

Half an hour later, the three appeared in a quiet alley in Shibuya.

Asakura Toru wore a black baseball cap and a mask with a simple pattern, revealing only his clear blue eyes. Genkawa Yu, on the other hand, wore a black mask and a matching baseball cap, completely obscuring his highly recognizable face.

MEM was like a professional agent, taking the lead and scouting ahead, occasionally turning back to check on the two of them.

"Ta-da! This is it!"

MEM pointed to an artistic building with white concrete exterior walls and floor-to-ceiling windows.

This cinema is indeed very hidden; there isn't even a conspicuous sign at the entrance, just a small metal projector logo embedded in the wall.

Upon entering the cinema lobby, Genkawa Yu was taken aback.

Although the entrance to the movie theater is rather ordinary, the interior is quite exquisite. Soft lighting and dark wood decor create a tranquil atmosphere, and a faint aroma of fragrance wafts in the air.

The walls of the corridor are adorned with posters of independent films, and the entire space exudes an artistic and elegant atmosphere.

MEM told the two to wait on the leather sofa in the rest area while he quickly walked towards the ticket counter.

"I need three tickets."

MEM said to the ticket seller while secretly observing the direction of the rest area.

When she confirmed that Genkawa Yu and Asakura Toru were waiting quietly, she lowered her voice and added, "Please issue the middle ticket separately, and keep the two side tickets together."

The ticket seller was a well-dressed and well-trained young woman. She immediately nodded in understanding and quickly operated the ticket machine with her fingers.

"Understood. Would you like a more secluded seat arranged for you?"

"Ideally, it would be a seat in the last row on the side," MEM whispered, a sly smile on his face.

The ticket seller quickly completed the formalities, and MEM took the movie ticket, a triumphant smile spreading across her face.

Back in the rest area, MEM chirped naturally as she assigned seats, her voice light and cheerful.

“Genkawa-kun, please sit in the middle. Tou-chan and I will sit on either side.”

She deliberately arranged for Asakura Toru's seat to be next to Genkawa Yu's, while her own seat was next to an aisle. When handing over the ticket, she secretly winked at Asakura Toru, signaling her to pay attention to the seating arrangement.
