Zongman: People are in the music show, relaxed and happy

"I'm fine."

"thanks for your concern."

Shirakawa Ze nodded, then sat on the stool on the other side and started eating the rice ball in his hand.

He knew that given their current interactions, the other party would not easily communicate with him, so he did not ask more questions.

After eating a rice ball, Shirakawa Ze turned his head and looked at Toyokawa Shoko.

"Are you also taking a break here after finishing your part-time job?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Shirakawa Ze in surprise, thinking, is he the same kind of person as me?

It turns out that everyone is struggling for life and worrying about food, clothing, housing and transportation...

Thinking of this, she felt better and responded to the other party with a soft "hmm".

"Cuckoo~"

Her stomach suddenly growled twice, reminding her that her friend had not eaten anything since noon and it was time to eat something.

Because the surrounding environment was very quiet at that time, the two sounds of my stomach growling seemed particularly loud.

Toyokawa Shoko was shy and embarrassed, but she managed to keep herself together on the surface.

She glanced at Baichuan Ze calmly and found that he was eating rice balls while looking into the distance, as if he didn't notice the growling of her stomach at all.

Shoko Toyokawa calmed down a little and looked at the sandwich in her hand that had become a little deformed.

She bought this sandwich at a convenience store on her way home from get off work and planned to have it for dinner tonight.

After buying the sandwiches, she walked into the old two-story building, walked up the creaking stairs to the second floor, and pushed open the door. A pungent smell of alcohol hit her in the face. There were a few more empty wine bottles on the floor. Her drunk father was lying in bed, snoring loudly.

Toyokawa Shoko, who had long been accustomed to this scene, had a look of indifference following numbness on her face.

She walked into the room, closed the door, then bent down to pick up the new wine bottles, preparing to put them together with the previous ones and sell them together sometime tomorrow.

But when she picked up the bottle, by the moonlight, she found that today's bottle was different from the previous ones.

She didn't know much about wine and didn't know how much this kind of wine cost.

But she knew that the wine in the past was the cheapest type available in the store, and if it was different from before, it would only be more expensive, not cheaper.

But the money she gave before leaving in the morning could only buy a few bottles of the cheapest wine...

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly realized something, and immediately stood up and walked to her desk and took out a thick piano score.

Sure enough, after opening the music score, some of the money was missing.

"why?"

Shoko Toyokawa looked at the remaining banknotes in disbelief. She didn't understand why her father did this.

The two of them have fallen to this point, shouldn't they understand and support each other better?

It’s bad enough that he drinks all day, but why did he have to steal her dream fund!

Toyokawa Shoko slammed the music sheet shut, walked to her father's bed, and wanted to get to the bottom of things.

But the visibility in the unlit room was dim, and she did not notice the small steel beads scattered around the floor.

Because she was walking in a hurry, Shoko Toyokawa stepped on a pile of small steel balls, her foot slipped, and she fell to the ground.

The burning pain from her knee hitting the floor immediately broke down her psychological defenses. Endless grievances burst out, and she could no longer hold back her emotions, and tears kept falling.

At this moment, she really wanted to escape, escape far away, and never return to this so-called home.

She grabbed the sandwich and rushed out the door. The wind blew the tears off her face, and after staying in the air for a short time, they fell to the ground.

When she ran to the vicinity of the park, she felt a little tired and had vented a lot of her emotions, so she walked into the park and sat down, ready to rest for a while before eating the sandwich.

I had just rested for a while when I heard Shirakawa Ze's voice.

When she first heard a man talking to her, Toyokawa Shoko was a little nervous. She turned around and saw that it was Shirakawa Ze, whom she had met at school, and that he was keeping a certain distance and not moving. Only then did she feel relieved.

She still had a deep impression of Baichuan Ze. After all, he could accurately feel the emotions in her piano playing.

Moreover, the other party always maintained a polite sense of boundaries with her, which made her feel very comfortable.

She opened the package and took a bite of the now cold sandwich.

After Toyokawa Shoko finished eating the sandwich, a system notification sound appeared in Shirakawa Ze's mind.

"Congratulations to the host for completing today's mission and meeting the additional conditions. The reward has been multiplied tenfold, giving you a total of 10 points and 100 million yen!"

Baichuan Ze couldn't help but complain in his heart,

"In a public park, she sits on a bench over there and eats a sandwich, and I sit on a bench over here and eat rice balls. Does this count as having dinner together?"

"System, you really have a bit of bad taste."

I am very touched that a new writer and his new book have received so much support from so many big names. I also want to write more to repay you all.

However, my personal ability is limited, and I don't have any drafts saved, so in order to increase my motivation, I'd like to insert a set of [rules for additional updates].

If you give a reward of 1000 cat biscuits (equivalent to 10 RMB) or 10 razor blades on the same day, an additional chapter will be added that night. If the paid props arrive too late, an additional chapter will be added the next day.

Maximum number of chapters per day: 1

If there are big guys who want to support me, I will automatically add more chapters if the conditions are met. No need to vote more. Thank you!

Volume 1: Chapter 25 I Can Eat Two

The park was so quiet at night that you could even hear the branches swaying and the leaves touching each other.

After finishing the rice ball in his hand, Shirakawa Ze didn't plan to stay any longer.

In their current state, they would not gain any favor by sitting near Toyokawa Shoko.

After throwing the wrapper of the rice ball in his hand into the trash can next to him, Baichuanze turned his head to look at the other party and made a gesture to cheer him on.

"Classmate, I'm leaving first."

“Keep working hard tomorrow too!”

Toyokawa Shoko looked up at the smiling boy and nodded slightly.

"come on."

Baichuan Ze showed an unsatisfied expression.

"How come you don't have any momentum at all? When facing this CD life, you should fight back with full momentum!"

"Tell me again, come on!"

Although the other party's words were mixed with vulgar language, for some reason, Toyokawa Shoko didn't feel disgusted at all, and even found it very interesting.

She took a deep breath and shouted loudly,

"come on!"

Shirakawaze: "Not enough! Keep going!"

Toyokawa Shoko took another breath and shouted with all her might,

"come on--"

It was as if some of the bad air in her heart had been expelled, and she felt much better after shouting it out.

Baichuanze nodded, deliberately made an exaggerated expression of relief, and gave a thumbs up.

"Yes, that's right."

"When facing this CD life, you must maintain your momentum and then give it a hard punch!"

Hearing these vulgar words again, Toyokawa Shoko, who felt a little more relaxed, couldn't help laughing.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t felt so relaxed for a long time, so I laughed particularly happily this time.

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko's smile, Shirakawa Ze understood everything at that moment.

"Deng-chan, Chu-hua, you can't be blamed for being bewitched by Bai Xiang. Even though I have lived two lives, I can't stand it anymore."

Although Toyokawa Shoko was in a good mood now, it was not actually appropriate to continue the conversation, so Shirakawa Ze didn't say anything else, just made another cheering gesture and left.

Toyokawa Shoko watched the boy's back as he walked away, then looked up at the sky, let out a long sigh, and left.

After both of them left, the bushes in a corner of the park suddenly moved, and a white cat jumped out from it. Then it sat on the ground and began to lick its paws and comb its slightly messy fur.

Then, a silver-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes jumped out from the bushes, picked up the white cat, looked in the direction where Baichuan Ze left, and said softly,

"Interesting man."

"Meow~"

The white cat in her arms meowed, as if agreeing with her words.

……

After returning to his residence, Shirakawa Ze picked up the guitar, climbed the grid for a while, plucked the strings for a while, then opened the score of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the computer and began to practice.

After more than an hour, feeling that he had practiced it more thoroughly, Shirakawa played it again and recorded it with his mobile phone, and then sent the recording to Yamada Ryo.

"Senior Liang, can you help me listen to see if there is any problem?"

After a while, Yamada Ryo sent back a message.

“There is no problem with the pitch and rhythm.”

Then the other party sent another message.

"Do you have time tomorrow?"

Shirakawa replied,

"Have time."

Yamada Ryo: "Then we will meet at the entrance of STARRY at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Bring your guitar."

Baichuan Ze replied with a "OK".

The next morning, Shirakawa Ze came to the door of STARRY with two McDonald's breakfasts.

It was almost eight o'clock when Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Kouka appeared. The latter was still in her pajamas, yawning, and looked like she had not woken up yet.
