Zongman: The post-2D era

Suddenly, Yumi Hoshino spoke softly, breaking the silence: "Feng Feng, do you know? Whenever I stand on the stage and sing those lyrics, I can feel his presence. His smile, his eyes, seem to be by my side. That feeling gives me endless strength."

Feng Feng's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the quiet and warm atmosphere. The ringtone was a song by Hoshino Yumi, the melody was familiar and moving, as if pulling the two people's thoughts back to that passionate moment on the stage.

Feng Feng was slightly stunned. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked at the name jumping on the screen, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He turned to look at Hoshino Yumie, only to see her raise her head slightly, curiosity and anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Feng Feng pressed the answer button, and an excited and familiar voice came from the phone: "Feng Feng, it's me, Liuhua. The plan is complete."

Feng Feng smiled slightly. He seemed to be able to imagine the look of Rikka Takanashi making the scissor hand gesture on the other end of the phone, the girl who was always full of energy and passion.

Feng Feng looked calm, and sighed again, "The last beastman has been captured, your plan has failed!"

As Feng Feng finished speaking, the air in the lounge seemed to freeze instantly. Hoshino Yumi put down the teacup with trembling hands, her eyes full of disbelief.

She stared at Feng Feng closely, trying to find any trace of joking on his face, but there was only calmness and determination.

"You...you were prepared?" Her voice trembled, as if she was trying hard to suppress the fear in her heart.

Feng Feng did not answer. He stood up, walked to the window and looked at the deep night outside.

Under the starlight, his back looked lonely and determined. He knew that this news was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Yumi Hoshino, but he had to tell her the truth.

Hoshino took a deep breath and smiled, "Whatever the Fate-Defying Society plans, I just want to get back Aqua, who you imprisoned in Yato Shrine."

Feng Feng turned around and faced Hoshino Yumiya, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Aqua...he can no longer leave the Yato Shrine. Do you know? He killed tens of millions of people in the Doomsday Three Questions World!"

Hoshino Yumi's eyes suddenly became empty, she seemed to have lost all her strength and fell onto the sofa.

She hugged her knees tightly with both hands, as if looking for a trace of warmth. Her voice trembled with endless sadness: "Is he... is he okay?"

Feng Feng was silent for a while, then he walked to Yumi Hoshino's side and sat down gently. He stretched out his hand and wanted to hold her hand, but she dodged him.

He sighed and whispered, "He should be taught a lesson by Yato and Yukine now."

Hoshino Yumi pursed her lips tightly, as if trying to prevent tears from falling. Her hands tightly grasped the armrests of the sofa, and her fingertips turned white due to the force.

Feng Feng saw this and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knew that although this girl looked strong on the outside, she was actually fragile and uneasy on the inside.

However, Yumi Hoshino did not give up. She took a deep breath again, as if to absorb all the sadness and loss into her heart.

Then, she slowly stood up and walked towards the stage, each step seemed so firm, as if she was declaring war on fate.

"I don't have much power. Aqua never consults with me about anything he does. He only asked me to complete this 10-day super concert!"

On the stage, the lights came on again, illuminating the figure of Yumi Hoshino. She stood on the stage, facing the audience, and began her idol performance with a smile.

Her singing voice was so beautiful and touching. Every note was full of power and hope, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

"Lonely hospital bed, how many times have the cherry blossoms bloomed? Suddenly I discovered love..."

Feng Feng sat on the sofa in the lounge, his brows furrowed and his eyes deep.

Chapter 638: Haruhi Suzumiya's Saturday

Saturday, April 1

The night outside the window was getting darker, and the stars dotted the silent night sky. He was alone, lost in thought.

Feng Feng's fingers tapped the armrest of the sofa unconsciously, making a slight sound, as if to set the rhythm for his thoughts. His mind echoed with Hoshino Yumi's words, and every word was like a needle piercing his heart.

He knew that what happened to Aqua was undoubtedly a huge blow to Hoshino Yumie.

As a member of the Fate-Defying Society, and a so-called Fate-Guardian whose wishes could not be fulfilled, she must have felt extremely powerless.

Feng Feng stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the deep night outside. He knew that he had to find a way to solve the problem, otherwise the relationship between him and Hoshino Yumi would become more complicated.

He took a deep breath and turned to the door. He needed to leave this room, this place full of depression and heaviness. He needed to go out and get some fresh air so that his mind could become clearer.

Feng Feng walked through the silent corridor and came to a more secluded corner.

He took out his cell phone, took a deep breath, and dialed Yukinoshita Yukino's number. After the call was connected, Feng Feng's voice sounded a little nervous: "Yukino, it's me, Feng Feng."

On the other end of the phone, Yukinoshita Yukino's voice was clear and calm: "Feng Feng, what's wrong? It's so late, is there anything wrong?"

Feng Feng was silent for a while, as if he was organizing his words, and then he slowly said, "There is something I want to discuss with you."

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly while talking on the phone in bed, noticing the unusual tone in Feng Feng's voice: "Is it about Hoshino Yumie and Aqua?"

Feng Feng nodded: "Yes, I think we need to rethink our plan."

"I'm sorry, your plan is good, and sealing the Hoshino brothers and sisters in the method can indeed effectively solve the problem, but I don't like it!"

Feng Feng hung up the phone, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He walked out of the hidden corner and stepped onto the quiet street alone. The night was as dark as ink, and the stars twinkled above his head, adding a touch of mystery to this silent night.

He walked aimlessly, feeling the night breeze brushing his cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. The trees on both sides of the street swayed under the dim street lights, as if whispering. His footsteps echoed in the empty streets, making a crisp sound, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Feng Feng's thoughts were in a mess, and he didn't know what he was looking for. Perhaps, he just needed someone to think quietly and sort out the confusion in his heart. He looked up at the starry sky, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

Feng Feng walked to a park bench and sat down. Under the dim light of the street lamp, a few moths fluttered their wings, like dancing notes, adding a bit of liveliness to the silent night. He looked up at the sky, which was dotted with stars, as if countless eyes were silently watching him.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his inner confusion. The breeze blew by, bringing with it the intoxicating ripples of the lake in the distance and the faint scent of flowers, which made him feel a little more relaxed.

Feng Feng thought of Yumi Hoshino's sad eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that he had to find a way to complete the mission of the Fate-Defying Society without hurting Yumi Hoshino.

Outside the park, two girls walked together, the moonlight sprinkled on them, covering them with a layer of silver gauze. Their steps were light, as if they didn't want to break the tranquility of the night.

As they got closer, Feng Feng could faintly hear their laughter and conversation, the sound was clear and melodious, like the song of a nightingale.

When the two girls walked to the entrance of the park, their eyes inadvertently fell on Feng Feng who was sitting on the bench.

Feng Feng also felt their arrival, he opened his eyes and looked at them. At this moment, time seemed to stand still, their eyes met, as if there was some kind of silent communication.

One of the girls had long hair and clear eyes. She smiled slightly, revealing a sweet smile. The other girl had short and playful hair, with a hint of cleverness in her eyes. She looked at Feng Feng curiously, as if she was guessing his identity.

Feng Feng stood up and waved to them with a gentle smile on his face. "Suzumiya Haruhi, Hoshino Ai, are you going to Hoshino Yumie's concert so late?"

His voice was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Haruhi Suzumiya and Ai Hoshino walked to the bench. Haruhi Suzumiya looked at Feng Feng curiously, with curiosity and exploration flashing in her clear eyes.

"Yes, we just finished watching the concert. What about you? What are you doing here alone so late?" Her voice was light and energetic, as if it could dispel all the heaviness and depression.

Feng Feng sighed softly, his eyes revealing a bit of heaviness. "I came out to get some fresh air and sort out my thoughts." He said, looking up at the starry sky, as if looking for an answer.

Suzumiya Haruhi pointed her right index finger at her chin and looked around Feng Feng like a detective, as if she wanted to find some clues from him. Her eyes stayed on Feng Feng's face for a moment, as if she wanted to see through his heart.

"Are you planning to give Hoshino Yumie an Aqua of her own?" Suzumiya Haruhi asked softly. Her voice was gentle and caring, like a spring breeze, making people feel a little warm.

Feng Feng was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Suzumiya Haruhi would be so keenly aware of his inner fluctuations. He was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Can you tell me? Maybe I can help you." Suzumiya Haruhi said, sitting next to Feng Feng, her clear eyes full of sincerity and kindness.

Hoshino Ai silently took out a can of hot coffee from her backpack and carefully handed it to Feng Feng. Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she was afraid to break the subtle atmosphere.

The coffee can was still steaming, emitting a faint aroma that instantly dispelled the coolness of the night. She smiled and motioned for the three of them to sit down, and she also sat down on the bench next to Feng Feng.

Feng Feng took the coffee, felt the warmth from the hot coffee, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He took a sip, the bitterness was mixed with a hint of sweetness, just like his mood at the moment, although heavy, but also full of expectations for the future. He raised his head and looked at Suzumiya Haruhi and Hoshino Ai, their faces looked particularly soft under the reflection of the street lights.

Hoshino Ai said coldly: "You don't have to worry about my stupid children. The sealing method is very good."

Feng Feng sat side by side with Suzumiya Haruhi and Hoshino Ai on a bench. The three of them looked particularly lonely and determined under the dim street lights. They chatted for a long time!

Chapter 639: Suzumiya Haruhi's Sunday

Sunday, April 2

As night falls, stars dot the boundless sky, as if countless eyes are silently watching this peaceful park.

Everything around seemed to have fallen asleep, with only the crickets in the distance and the leaves nearby whispering in my ears, adding a bit of liveliness to the silent night.

The trees in the park are tall and dense. Their branches and leaves sway gently in the night breeze, making rustling sounds, as if it were the hum of nature.

Feng Feng and Suzumiya Haruhi's conversation was intermittent, and their voices were particularly clear in the night.

"Captain, do you really want to do this? This isn't a good idea!"

Feng Feng's eyes were deep and firm, as if he could see through the depths of the darkness.

"I'm so annoyed. Just come with me. As the Lord of Utopia, be more domineering!"

Haruhi Suzumiya's eyes revealed an indescribable tenderness and firmness, as if she was the only light in this endless darkness.

"Now let's go capture our new SOS Brigade's new mascot character, little sister Hoshino!"

Haruhi Suzumiya pulled Feng Feng and rushed to the concert of Yumiya Hoshino.

The crowd at the concert entrance was like a boiling ocean. Fanatical fans held up all kinds of cheering sticks and slogan boards, their enthusiasm burning like flames, lighting up the night.

Suzumiya Haruhi and Feng Feng squeezed into the crowd with difficulty. Their steps seemed a little awkward, but their eyes were as firm as stone.

"Haruhi, be careful!" Feng Feng reminded in a low voice. He held Haruhi Suzumiya's hand tightly, fearing that she would get lost in the crowd.

Suzumiya Haruhi smiled slightly, with a stubborn light in her eyes. She straightened her back like a brave warrior, and faced the fanatical fans without flinching.

They finally squeezed to the front and saw Yumi Hoshino shining on the stage. Her singing was as beautiful as the sound of nature, and every note was shining like a star.

Suzumiya Haruhi and Feng Feng smiled at each other, they knew that a new adventure was about to begin.

There was a mischievous gleam in Suzumiya Haruhi's eyes, and she suddenly reached out and nimbly snatched a cheering stick from a fan who was immersed in the singing.

The cheering stick was flashing with colorful light, and it turned into a microphone like a magic wand.

She held the microphone high, as if she had taken control of a whole new stage. Then, she took a deep breath, opened her mouth and began to sing in competition with Hoshino Yui on the stage.

What is the meaning of hope(のぞ)むことは(なに)? 〖What on earth was I expecting? 〗

わたしがask(と)い hang(か)ける〖I asked myself softly〗

It's not a lie that I don't want anything.

disappear(き)える世界(せかい)にも〖In the world that is about to disappear〗

わたしの Place(ばしょ)がある〖There is also a place that belongs to me〗

Her voice was clear and high-pitched, and every note was full of power and confidence. Her singing echoed in the night sky, interweaving with the singing of Yumi Hoshino to form a beautiful harmony.

The cheering stick was waved in her hand, and the light rose and fell with her singing, as if drawing gorgeous tracks in the night sky.

Yumie Hoshino's singing voice gradually became lower, as if a night breeze blew past, dispersing the heat on the stage.
