Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

At this time every month, Xiao Baiye’s father would rush home, leave a little living expenses, and then go out to work hard.

Xiao Baiye brought out a small wooden stool and placed it in front of the cabinet. He stepped on it, and his little hands just reached the small window on the cabinet. He took out the yellowed cabbage inside and broke off the outermost leaves.

Suddenly, Xiao Baiye remembered something, found the yellowed calendar in the cabinet below, and discovered that today was his birthday.

So he decided to pick more cabbages today, whose leaves had not turned yellow, to celebrate.

After preparing everything, he excitedly threw all the cabbage into boiling water for a few minutes, took it out, and ate it with rice.

This was the most sumptuous meal he had had in the past few months.

At night, Xiao Baiye turned on the radio by the bed, switched to the music channel, and made a birthday wish with great anticipation, accompanied by the sound of the piano.

He slept particularly soundly today.

.....

"Do you want to buy a keyboard?" The employee of the musical instrument store looked at the thin Xiao Baiye and confirmed again.

"Well, that keyboard..." Xiao Baiye pointed to the keyboard in the deepest part of the store that resonated the most with his soul.

"That's very expensive, kid. How about you bring your parents to take a look?"

"...I have money." Xiao Baiye took out a large cloth bag and opened it. It was filled with very small coins and wrinkled banknotes.

"Are you serious? Kid..."

"Give me the keyboard, please."

...

...

..

Time flies by like a white horse. It seems that in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed quietly.

A few months ago, on the rooftop of Kumamoto Prefectural College.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the railings and falls on the ground, forming spots of light. When the breeze blows, the spots of light sway as if they are dancing a happy dance.

"Bai Yezi, what do you plan to do after graduation? Form a band?" Miao Meng leaned on the railing and turned to ask Bai Ye beside him.

She leaned forward slightly, supporting herself on the railing with both hands, staring straight at Bai Ye, waiting for his answer.

The breeze blew Bai Ye's light blue hair, fluttering in the air like a ribbon. His figure looked particularly graceful in the wind.

"I don't know. What about Ruomai? Will she continue to be an internet celebrity?"

"It's Meow Meng dear! Call me Meow Meng. I plan to go to Kyoto to be a full-fledged entertainer."

"Hey~...that's amazing."

"Looks like we won't have the chance to see each other again. Miao Mengqin allows you to kiss me now, of course only on the cheek."

Miao Meng pointed her finger at her slightly red right cheek, tilted her head and smiled at Bai Ye, a hint of shyness in her smile.

"No, it's all foundation."

"Oh, that's a pity. You missed the only chance to have close contact with the future big star." Miao Meng looked regretful and spread his hands.

Bai Ye leaned his head against the railing, playing with the [Command] in a place where Miao Meng couldn't see him. "That's such a pity..."

"By the way, your cheap dad got married for the second time?"

"Um..."

"Doesn't that mean I have a family? That's great! Bai Yezi, is this what you want most?"

Miao Meng stood firmly in the gap of the railing with her feet, her hands raised high, an excited smile on her face, as if she was cheering for Bai Ye.

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it..." Bai Ye stood there quietly, his gaze cast towards the distant horizon, a satisfied smile on his face.

His figure looked particularly relaxed in the wind, as if all his worries had been left behind.

"Finally, I have a family..."

Chapter 33 Hongxia talks, Aiyin is named Pink Milk Dragon

In the early morning, sunlight shone obliquely into Ijichi's home through the gaps in the curtains, adding a touch of warmth to the room.

Bai Ye stood in front of the sink, scooped up clean water with both hands, and splashed it on his face, splashing water everywhere. He tried to use the cool feeling to wake himself up.

[Why do I think of my childhood? What’s wrong with me? ]

"Okay, okay, you've been hogging the sink for half an hour. Is there anything that difficult to wash?"

Ichichi Hongxia walked in from the bedroom, brushing her hair and wearing a small housecoat. Her steps were light, and the hem of her housecoat swayed slightly, making her look particularly relaxed and at ease.

Bai Ye moved half a body to the right, making room for Hong Xia by the sink. "Sorry, I just remembered something."

Bai Ye then changed the subject, "How was the celebration party? Why do I feel like I lost track of it halfway through?"

Hong Xia paused for a moment, as if thinking about something, then looked at Bai Ye speechlessly, "You were drunk, of course you have no memory."

"Huh?! I'm drunk?"

"You were craving that shop's special plum juice, but you didn't realize it contained alcohol, so you just kept guzzling it. ..."

As Hong Xia spoke, she picked up the cup for washing and held it to her mouth at a 90-degree angle, imitating Bai Ye's ugly appearance at that time.

"..."

"If you want to know the details, you can go online and watch Miao Meng's video. She recorded the whole thing, and it might have become a hot topic now."

"Ah? Aren't you going to stop her?" Bai Ye suddenly woke up and stared at Hong Xia with wide eyes.

Hong Xia, knowing she was in the wrong, covered her red cheeks with a towel. Her movements were a bit flustered. "I can't help it. Who made you drunk... so beautiful... By the time I realized it, Miao Meng had already run away with the video."

[It's a shame I was too busy looking at it at the time. Luckily Aine took some photos. I'll ask her for them later, hehe.]

"How terrible!" Bai Ye scratched his hair frantically, distress surging in his heart.

Hong Xia picked up the toothbrush and handed it to Bai Ye. "It's useless to think about it now. Why don't you help me squeeze the toothpaste first?"

"Okay, okay, Miss Hongxia." Bai Ye calmed down and asked, "What about the escaped guitarist, Kita Ikuyo? How are you going to deal with him?"

"She's been working for free at Starry this week. I didn't expect she can't play guitar at all. Luckily, I met Xiao Aiyin, otherwise you'd have to dominate the whole show again..."

"Hey, thanks for the compliment."

Hong Xia shook her ahoge, and this little action seemed a little playful. "I'm not complimenting you... Hey! Hey hey!! You squeezed too much toothpaste."

"Eh? Accidentally. Sorry, sorry."

Hong Xia sighed, took out Bai Ye's toothbrush, and then put her own toothbrush covered with toothpaste over it, "Here, isn't that okay?"

"Really? Hongxia is really good at housekeeping..." Bai Ye took the toothbrush, and they both brushed their teeth while looking in the mirror.

But Bai Ye didn't notice that the girl's eyes were always looking at his lips.

Bai Yejun is really stupid. He can't even notice this little thought. This can be considered an indirect kiss, right?

Thinking of this, Hong Xia's face could no longer be suppressed and turned completely red. Like a ripe apple, it looked particularly delicate and beautiful.

The two of them just stood there quietly.

Quietly...

Suddenly, Bai Ye was inspired and said, "It feels like we are a family."

"Eh? Eh? Eh!?" Hong Xia took a big step back in shame to avoid the mirror reflecting her completely red face.

Her brain started to heat up, and her words began to stutter: "Family...family...if it's about marriage..."

"Get married... but getting married isn't guaranteed, right? My cheap dad married Nagasaki Motoyo's mom, and in the end, I don't think I was considered part of the family."

Bai Ye gurgled and spit out his mouthwash, then asked in a low voice, "Hong Xia, what exactly is family?"

"Family is..."

Hongxia walked out while thinking.

I saw her walking barefoot to the balcony next to the sink, her steps slow and firm.

Hong Xia gently held the railing with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and looked into the distance.

Whisper softly to the rising sun.

"My mother passed away when I was little."

"Father is never home either."

"My only family member is my older sister. After she formed a band, she was worried that I would be lonely, so she often took me with her to livehouses."

“In my opinion back then, everything about the Livehouse was so glittering. It was a very happy space.”

"After seeing my performance, my sister quit the band and opened a livehouse."

"The stars are actually a place my sister created for me, but she will never tell you."

"And I also want to use the power of ending the band to help my sister... like making Fanxing more famous."

The sunlight shines on Hongxia's body, and her figure appears particularly clear against the backdrop of the sunlight.

At this moment, Hongxia became very dazzling, as if she herself was part of the sunshine, emitting warmth and hope.

“So, for me, family means supporting each other and caring about each other.”

"I hope Bai Ye can find it too..."

"Um..."

Bai Ye was touched and nodded firmly.

"Ring ring ring!"

Unfortunately, Bai Ye's cell phone suddenly vibrated violently, shaking wildly as if it was about to jump out of his pocket.

He picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID—Chihaya Aine.

"Hey, Aine-chan, what's wrong?"

"White teeth, white teeth, white teeth...white teeth, our band has become famous after we finished. The debut video shot by passers-by has been played tens of millions of times on social media!"

“Tens of millions!!”

"Isn't this great?" Bai Ye asked in confusion as he listened to Aiyin's slightly irritated voice.

"not at all!!!"

Chihaya Aine's voice was so loud that it almost broke Bai Ye's eardrum.

"It's all your fault for the weird lyrics and the funny tune."

"Everyone on the internet is saying I'm Tang-style now. They're also calling me the pink milk dragon!"

“Uh ↑ heh ↓ uh ↑ ha → ah ah ah ah ah ah ah…” (Imagine Aine crying)

Chapter 34 Xiangzi, what is family?

Class A in Yugaoka is particularly lively, with a large number of students surrounding the classroom.

Some of them were whispering to each other, some were pointing, and some were discussing something excitedly. The whole classroom was filled with noisy sounds.

"do you know?"

"You mean ending the band? That really scared me."

"I didn't expect that the pink milk dragon was actually...who was it?"

"Chihaya-kun, Chihaya-kun..."

Chihaya Aine finally became the popular figure she had always dreamed of, although she herself did not seem very happy.

Although there was a smile on her face, there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

But for the sake of popularity, she still forced a smile to deal with the classmates around her, nodding in response from time to time or giving a standard smile.

At this time, Gao Songdeng had just gone upstairs when he was discovered by the traffic light trio.

The people at the traffic light quickly approached the light and surrounded her. "Did you hear, Xiao Deng? The pink milk dragon that's going viral on the internet is Aine."

"There's also the rumor that Bai Ye from Class B is the magician from the Aurora band..."

"Pink milk dragon? Magician? Aine-chan, Byakuya?" Takamatsu Deng tilted his head and suddenly had no thoughts.

There was a hint of confusion in her eyes, and she was obviously a little overwhelmed by this sudden blockade.
