Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

Aiyin put one hand to Baiye's ear, bit it, and whispered, "Nene, what should we do? Baibai, Lixi seems to be looking at us fiercely. How about we change places?"

"Hey~ Little Lixi, you're so fierce that you're going to scare away the guests." Rinrinzi's sharp eyes caught Lixi's abnormality.

She then joked with Lixi in a light-hearted and humorous tone, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Humph!"

When no one was paying attention, Kita walked lightly in front of Shiina Riki, his movements were gentle and quick, a smile appeared on his face, and he said easily: "Hello, Shiina Riki."

"Tsk, what's going on?"

"My name is Ikuyo Kita, and I'm a new member of the band."

"Although Hongxia and the others had a fight with you, I hope you can still be good friends."

Kita showed a super sunny smile. Her smile was bright and warm, like the sunshine, shining on Shiina Riki's angry cheeks.

Li Xi's originally tense and annoyed expression gradually relaxed under Kita's smile.

"Okay? Let's be good friends~"

At this moment, Kita seemed to have become the sun. Her smile and temperament were like sunshine, illuminating all the dark emotions.

Her smile not only warms herself, but also infects the people around her, filling the entire cafe with positive energy.

Shiina Tatsuki, Nijigao, Yamada Ryo, and Chihaya Aine all put their hands in front of their eyes.

Their movements were coincidentally similar, and they were obviously shocked by Kita's radiance, as if they were blocking the overly dazzling sunlight with their hands.

"What is this? Super Yangjiao Energy?!" X4

On the other side, Bai Ye and Rin Rinzi, wearing sunglasses, watched the show silently.

Thanks to Kita's efforts, the band was able to sit down in the cafe after the band finished and completed the order.

"Xiduo, Dajilin, please enjoy your meal." Lixi gently placed the cup in front of Xiduo.

"Hongxia, lemon cola, please enjoy." Li Xi placed the cup in front of Hongxia with a little embarrassment.

"Yamada Liang, cold grass juice, please enjoy slowly."

Li Xi placed the cup in front of Liang with a puzzled look on his face, wondering why someone would order such a strange drink.

"Bai Ye, sorry for keeping you waiting. Here's some secret plum juice, please enjoy." Li Xi placed the cup in front of Bai Ye gently and guiltily.

“Earl Grey Tea!!!”

With a bang, Riki placed the cup heavily in front of Chihaya Aine, her action showing obvious anger.

His fingers pressed hard on the cup, as if venting his inner dissatisfaction.

Then she gave Chihaya Aine a fierce black face.

“What a terrible attitude!!”

Aiyin placed her hands on her chin, her fingers exerting a little pressure, her teeth unconsciously clenched. Her eyes were fixed on Li Xi's back until Li Xi disappeared from her sight.

Hong Xia looked at the scene in front of her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

[In a sense, Li Xi seems quite easy to understand]

"Bai Ye, these are your new band members?"

Seeing this, Rinrinko hurriedly walked towards the crowd, trying to lighten the atmosphere with a light-hearted topic.

"Um.."

Bai Ye nodded and introduced the other members to Rinrinko one by one.

"Hi~hi~, my name is Chihaya Aine, and I'm the lead guitarist of the band End! Please give me your guidance~"

When it was Chihaya Aine's turn to be introduced, she waved her right hand with exaggerated and energetic movements, obviously wanting Rinrinko to remember her.

"I know. After all, you guys are so popular on the internet, and there are a lot of people waiting for you to come perform at Ring. Please take care of us in the future."

Rinrinko looked at the lively Aine, a smile spreading from her lips uncontrollably. She folded her hands in front of her, her brows raised, clearly infected by Aine's liveliness.

"Is this true?! There are so many people waiting for us, isn't that awesome!" Chihaya Aine laughed excitedly.

"Ahem..." Li Xi walked in front of everyone and coughed awkwardly twice.

"Sorry, sorry, I still have some kitchen stuff to take care of. Xiao Lixi, I'll leave them to you~"

Linlinzi understood and left, then secretly hid in the front desk and watched. Her movements were very light and cautious, obviously not wanting to disturb everyone, but she couldn't help but want to pay attention to what was going to happen next, in short, eating melons.

Li Xi faced everyone's gaze, his face slightly red, obviously a little nervous and embarrassed.

She said with a stiff upper lip, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble at the Fanxing Gate before."

"The hardship is over, and I will not bring Bai Ye back again."

"Anyway...I'm so sorry."

Li Xi bowed her head to express her apology, then quickly turned and left. Her steps were somewhat hurried, and it was obvious that she wanted to get rid of the current embarrassing situation as soon as possible.

"Snapped..."

At this moment, Hong Xia grabbed Li Xi's hand and said slowly: "Wait a minute, Li Xi."

"Anything else?"

Hong Xia looked at Li Xi and showed a sunny smile: "I want to say that I accept your apology. It's okay~ Li Xi, we are still good friends."

Yamada Ryo wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said, "I have no objection. If you really want to apologize, please give me a bowl of cold grass juice."

"Liang, I'll prepare it for you right away!"

"Okay, Li Xi, don't bother. Liang is just like this. Don't spoil her."

After Hong Xia finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Bai Ye, waiting for his answer. There was a hint of expectation in her eyes, obviously hoping that Bai Ye would give a positive response.

Bai Ye spread his hands and said, "I don't have any grudge against Li Xi, why are you looking at me? Li Xi and I are good friends."

"Huh? Who's your good friend?"

"Isn't it? Then I'll be sad." Bai Ye put his hands to his mouth and grinned.

"Well, I guess so..." Li Xi nodded stiffly, but he always felt unhappy in his heart, as if he was being controlled by Bai Ye.

Seeing this, Aine lowered her head, her movements somewhat helpless as she sighed, "Well, since everyone says that, I can only reluctantly forgive you, Tanuki~"

"Huh? Who is Tanuki calling?"

"Turukki is Turukki~"

"You bastard!!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Kita reached out to ease the atmosphere.

Hong Xia looked at the two enemies who were about to put their heads together and couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Aiyin and Lixi have such a good relationship~"

"Not good at all!" Riki and Chihaya Aine turned their heads at the same time and denied loudly.

"Don't talk like me!" & "Don't talk like me!"

"Ha ha?"

Then everyone else burst into laughter, and the cafe was filled with a happy atmosphere.

...

Time passed quickly and it was time to leave. Everyone said goodbye to Lixi.

But when leaving, Li Xi hurriedly stood at the door and pleaded to Bai Ye: "Um, Bai Ye, I have something to ask you..."

Her fingers slid lightly across her cheek, her movements nervous.

Chapter 39 Penguin, Hammer Snake and Cat

In Ring's performance hall, the lights were dim, and the colorful lights on the stage flickered, casting patches of light and shadow.

Scattered audiences stood under the stage, some whispering to each other, some lost in thought.

Dajia and Lixi, who had finished their band, were among them, standing at the back of the crowd, watching the stage being set up.

The reasons for ending the band's stay here were, firstly, to inspect the performance stage, and secondly, because of Li Xi's request.

"Why am I here? I'm clearly working..." Li Xi stamped his legs anxiously.

Seeing this, Bai Ye slowly teased: "Miss Rin Rinzi said it's okay."

"Besides, don't you want to see? Tomo and Ichiri-chan's performance?"

Li Xi was silent, but his eyes unconsciously looked towards the stage, obviously waiting for someone important to appear.

"Li Xi, you are so dishonest, just like Liang Liang~"

"Humph!"

"You're ignoring me again. What a bad attitude."

There were scattered footsteps on the stage, and Takamatsu Deng pulled the trembling Goto Ichiri onto the stage.

I saw Takamatsu Deng holding Goto Ichiri's hand tightly, trying to give her some courage.

Goto Ichiri's body was trembling slightly, obviously because of nervousness. Her steps were a little unsteady, but she still tried to follow Takamatsu Deng's pace.

Then, because it was Deng's first time on stage, her hand accidentally touched the microphone, causing a sharp feedback sound.

Because of this voice, everyone's eyes were focused on Takamatsu Deng. The stage lights softly shone on her back, outlining her slender figure.

Gao Songdeng raised her head, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. Her movements were a little nervous, but more so, determined.

"Even though not everyone is here yet and there's no music."

"But this is... a song..."

Takamatsu Deng took out a page of lyrics from her notebook from her pocket. Her fingers gently stroked the paper, which was covered with traces of corrections.

She turned to look at Goto Ichiri who was ready, and they nodded to each other.

Deng picked up the microphone and began to sing along with Goto Ichiri's guitar. Her fingers gently grasped the microphone, her movements somewhat unnatural.

On the other side, Goto Ichiri's situation was not good either. The sound of the guitar was a little trembling, and her shoulders began to loosen. Her social phobia began to flare up.

"My...poem."

"..Pass."

"..There was once...my...hand..."

"..with me..."

"Huh? Tomo Zero didn't say anything at all? Equipment malfunction?" Aine looked at Takamatsu Deng who was reciting very quietly on the stage with a hesitant look.

She frowned slightly, leaned forward, and tried to hear Gao Songdeng's voice clearly, but it was obviously difficult.

Li Xi clenched her fists anxiously, her fingers tightly twisted together, and she couldn't wait to go up and help Gao Songdeng.

Kita looked at Goto Ichiri next to her. Even as a beginner, she noticed the problem, "The guitar seems to be making some mistakes..."

"This is normal. They both seem to have no stage experience and are very nervous..." Yamada Ryo complained slightly as he watched.

Now it was Aine's turn to be curious, "Huh? Is that so? But the last time we premiered, we had no stage experience, didn't we? And yet it was a huge success..."

"That's because Bai Ye..." Yamada Ryo looked at Bai Ye, who was listening to the song attentively at the front of the stage, and seemed to be hesitant to speak, obviously struggling whether to speak or not.

Aine, who didn’t get a clear answer, turned around and looked anxiously at the lights on the stage and Goto Ichiri.

"Steal Zero..."

She frowned and clenched her fists, obviously worried about their performance.

"Why... did I fail again? I even performed on the street with... Master Bai Ye..."

But once we got to the real stage... with so many people watching... I was so nervous.

Ah... I hit the wrong note again.

[What should I do? Lord Bai Ye]

Goto Ichiri closed her eyes in despair. Her body trembled slightly, and her fingers tightly gripped the guitar, clearly trying to control her emotions.

"Come on! Ichiri-chan!"

Suddenly, the voice that Goto Ichiri had been expecting came into her ears. It was the encouragement from Lord Baiye.

Her body shook slightly, and her originally tense body relaxed a little instantly, and her fingers unconsciously loosened their grip on the guitar.
