Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

Toyama Kasumi continued, "They are all thinking about you because you are very important."

She then stood up and walked to Bai Ye's front, clasping her hands behind her back, speaking as she walked.

"Poppin'party once encountered similar confusion..."

“Meihui, do you know?”

"The guitarist in Kasumi-san's band—Tae-san?"

“Well… when Huihui was poached by RAISE A SUILEN, we made the same choice and asked her to reconsider…”

"Because Huihui is very important to us, we don't want her to leave, but we also feel that this would restrict her..."

"Perhaps Huihui joining RAISE A SUILEN would also be a good future."

As Toyama Kasumi spoke, she smiled at Bai Ye. Her smile was filled with memories and emotion, as if she was recounting every detail of the past.

That day was also in a park, and Bai Ye sat in a similar position as Duohui.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

"So how was it resolved in the end? Didn't Duohui-senpai join RAISE A SUILEN in the end?"

Bai Ye raised his head and asked questioningly.

Toyama Kasumi turned around and smiled, and took out a song from her pocket.

That's "Returns".

Her fingers gently stroked the lyrics, as if feeling the emotions within them.

"If there are things that you can't explain clearly, then just sing them to them yourself..."

“Of course I can…”

"Because everyone who ended the band cherished each other."

Kasumi Toyama took out her cell phone, glanced at the message on it, and then gave Bai Ye a bright smile.

She took out her guitar and invited Bai Ye.

"Come and play, Bai Ye."

...

...

Kumamoto Castle Concert Hall, backstage.

The four members of the ending band, who had been appeased by Poppin'party, were sitting quietly in their chairs.

Hong Xia sat there with a somewhat empty look in her eyes, as if she was still troubled by something. Her fingers unconsciously twisted the corners of her clothes, revealing her inner uneasiness.

Shiina Riki leaned against the wall next to Hongxia, his voice filled with a firmness that could not be ignored, "I say, how long can you be depressed? The Hongxia I know is not like this."

"But..." Although Hong Xia had calmed down, she was still a little conflicted at the moment.

Li Xi stretched out his right hand, raised it in front of his face and grabbed the air, as if thinking about something. "I say, is this really good for Bai Ye?"

"What does he really want?"

Li Xi's question was like a sharp arrow, reaching deep into Hong Xia's soul.

Hong Xia's pupils shrank slightly upon hearing this, as if struck by an electric current. Li Xi's question suddenly awakened Hong Xia's most treasured memory.

The day I remember was in the evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun was like a layer of golden gauze, gently sprinkling on Bai Ye's body.

He faced the setting sun and spoke gently to Hongxia.

"Fame, technology, wealth? None of it matters."

"We play happily together, take music seriously, and the members make the band feel like home."

"That's enough."

In my memory, Bai Ye smiled slightly. His smile was like the warm spring sun, making people feel extremely comfortable and at ease.

Hong Xia recalled his sincere eyes, and her heart couldn't help but move, as if she was infected by his smile, and all her confusion and entanglement disappeared in an instant.

【What am I struggling with? Am I stupid? 】

[Hongxia, didn't you already know the answer? ]

Li Xi looked at Hong Xia, who was gradually regaining her will, closed her eyes and smiled slightly. She waved her hand and said, "I've sent you Bai Ye's current location on my phone...Keep going."

Hongxia immediately stood up and grabbed Yamada Ryo and Kita, who were still in a daze, and held one in each hand.

"Hongxia!?"

Yamada Ryo and Kita were shocked by Hongxia's sudden change.

"Kita, Ryo, it's time to go."

"Where?"

"Go find Bai Ye and get him back. No matter what the Aurora is, Bai Ye is the keyboard that will help us end our band!"

Hongxia showed a very determined look, she turned around and shouted to Aine who was still sitting.

"Ain, remember that day, the day you joined? Do you remember what Bai Ye said? You heard it, didn't you?"

After hearing that, Aiyin gradually regained her composure. She raised her head and spoke to herself.

"yes..."

"Why am I only remembering this now?"

"The answer is right in front of you."

Hongxia nudged the seated Aine with her shoulder and said, "It's time to go, little Aine, let's go together."

"Um!!!"

"Are they okay...?" Goto Ichiri asked, looking at the band's spirits returning to their peak.

"It's okay, let's go back first." Li Xi waved his hand and smiled confidently.

"What a bunch of idiots." Su Shi shook his head, turned on the light next to him, and prepared to go back.

“…” Deng looked at everyone with a smile in his eyes.

After the performance, the four members of the band set off towards the park where Bai Ye was. The difference from before was that their eyes were no longer confused....

Chapter 149 "Returns"

The starry night sky enveloped Kumamoto Park, like dark blue satin sprinkled with diamond fragments.

Under this quiet and bright starry sky, Toyama Kasumi and Bai Ye have quietly taken their positions in a corner of the park, ready to break the tranquility of the night with music.

"Returns", guitar: Kasumi Toyama, keyboard & vocals: Bai Ye.

Kasumi Toyama gently plucked the guitar strings, and the prelude flowed from her fingertips like a gurgling stream. The gentle and elegant melody seemed to cover the park with a layer of dreamy starlight.

Bai Ye's keyboard sounds then blend in, gushing out with strong emotions.

His fingers danced across the keyboard, and every note seemed to be dug out from the depths of his soul, intertwining with the sound of Kasumi's guitar, like a perfect fusion of two forces.

As the music progressed, Bai Ye naturally began to sing, and his singing echoed in the night sky.

He immersed himself completely in the music, releasing all his emotions about ending the band into the song.

White Night: "Leaving the Place of Birth"

Bai Ye: "I just realized what kind of dream I was having"

As the song played, Bai Ye fell into memories...

The little boy who grew up in Kumamoto spent most of his childhood in loneliness.

When he was young, he had longed for a home full of warmth and love countless times, dreaming of strolling with his family in the sunset and sharing the joys and sorrows of the day.

However, the reality is that he spends nights alone in the cabin, longing for a real home and a family.

After going through untold hardships, he finally found the "home" in his mind - the band.

The courageous Aine, the sunny and cheerful Nijiga, the quirky Yamada Ryo, and Kita who always thinks about everyone.

They are his most cherished "family".

The little boy who had grown up alone finally found a "family" who cherished him very much.

Please don't let me go

Chihaya Aine followed the melodious singing and arrived at the park first.

She met Bai Ye's gaze, who was concentrating on playing.

At this moment, Bai Ye's eyes were warm and bright, like a beam of light that penetrated the darkness of the night and shot straight into her heart.

He played the keyboard while extending his right hand towards Chihaya Aine and sang to her.

“When I miss home, I always want to see it as soon as possible.”

"You who are optimistic and actively singing"

The song is so heartfelt and touches the soul.

To Aine, Bai Ye is like an angel, and his appearance illuminates her originally dark world.

Similarly, to Bai Ye, Aine is also an angel.

That day, Bai Ye, who was supposed to be "dead", was forcibly pulled out of the abyss of despair by Aine.

Bai Ye never told Aiyin that the hand that pulled him away that day was so warm and dazzling that he could not look away.

Those hands seemed to have magical power, saving him from endless darkness and leading him to the light.

Please take me forward

At this time, Hongxia came over with Liang and Kita. The three of them stopped at the entrance of the park and listened to Bai Ye's soul cry with Aine.

Bai Ye gave the four people a gentle smile, as soft as moonlight, making people feel at ease.

He raised his left hand to make the number one, then slowly moved it down.

"The night sky is so brilliant"

“I only want one star.”

In this era of big girl bands, as long as Bai Ye wants, he can make any band the brightest star.

But he won't do that because he already has someone in his heart.

The band that would hug him tightly and save him when he was in trouble.

He chose to end the band, and the band chose him.

I just want to end the band

Aine and the other three were moved by Bai Ye's singing and slowly walked towards his position.

Their steps are slow but firm.

Every step seemed to declare their determination.

At this moment, the band began to slowly unite again and the team spirit began to revive.

Bai Ye stretched out his open palm towards the four people walking towards him, as if asking them to catch it, and did not let go for a long time.

“Let go of the confusion in your heart”

"Reach out and grasp the future with you"

Don't hesitate anymore, don't be confused anymore.

Everyone, I'm right here.

Even if you let me go, it's too late.

I will reach out again, hold you tightly, and never let go.

Never let go.

【Never let go for a lifetime】

Bai Ye closed his eyes, his face excited, as if he was gathering all his strength.

He sang loudly, as if using all his strength to release the emotions from the depths of his soul.
