Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

"Out of my reach"

.....

Inside Ring's performance hall, the lights were soft and warm, and the audience sat in the audience, their eyes focused on the stage.

Gao Songdeng stood on the stage, slightly tilting his head, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness, but more of anticipation.

She took a deep breath and began to sing the poem she had composed. Her voice was clear and firm, and every word was full of emotion.

Unlike the first performance, Takamatsu Deng now fully unleashes his charm, a cry from his soul.

A powerful yet warm guitar sound rang out. Goto Ichiri and Takamatsu Touma's eyes met, a tacit understanding evident in their expressions.

Then Fujiichi gradually gained strength, and the sound of the guitar was hidden in Takamatsu Touma's singing, and together they were slowly conveyed to the hearts of the audience.

The audience listened quietly, some nodded slightly, and some clapped softly.

"Pochi has grown up...but when will he be able to look up and face the audience?"

Bai Ye, who was watching the performance silently at the back, sighed.

[But he's already able to perform perfectly on stage. After all, he has to perform one every day on average, so Pochi has been trained.]

Bai Ye clapped his hands gently at Deng and Goto Ichiri who had finished their performance, his movements neither hurried nor slow, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

He had no intention of interacting with them and simply left silently. His footsteps echoed in the quiet auditorium as his figure gradually disappeared at the door.

"Jingle Bell."

The wind chimes in front of the cafe rang, the sound clear and pleasant.

"Welcome. What? It's you." Li Xi wiped the cup, looked at Bai Ye at the door, and sighed.

Bai Ye sat at the bar and looked at Li Xi, "Aren't you going to perform with Deng?"

"I have to work...I'll try to go when I can." Li Xi shrugged slightly, with helplessness in his tone.

Bai Ye gave a playful smile, "I thought you were the type who would give up your job just for the light, but it turns out you're not just in love."

"Huh? You guy!" Li Xi slammed the table angrily, his movements a little exaggerated, obviously provoked by Bai Ye's words.

Bai Ye was not afraid at all. He raised his hand and said, "Hello, a serving of secret sour plum soup."

"Hmph! I'll make it for you right now! I'll make you sour!" Li Xi gritted her teeth and turned to make drinks. Then she thought of something and asked, "Tomorrow, after the band's performance, is it okay?"

"Tomorrow? Finishing the band? The show? How come I don't know?!"

Bai Ye was slightly stunned and pinched his thigh, trying to wake himself up, but it was obvious that he knew nothing about this matter.

"Hahaha, you have come to this day too. Aine just came to make an appointment this morning, and you didn't even know about it." Li Xi showed a supernatural smile and teased Bai Ye.

Bai Ye could only open his phone, frowning slightly, and gently sliding his fingers across the screen, "I'll go to Line and ask about this pink milk dragon."

"Ding-ling-ling." The wind chimes in front of the cafe rang again, the sound clear and pleasant.

Kaname Lenai, with the white-haired jellyfish head, walked in with a guitar cart in her hand. Her steps were brisk and rhythmic, and the wheels of the cart made a slight rolling sound on the ground.

"Welcome, tsk...it turns out to be a wild cat." Li Xi glanced at the visitor and ignored him. Then he silently placed the secret sour plum soup in front of Bai Ye, "Secret sour plum soup, please enjoy it slowly."

What's going on today? All the guests here are weird.

When Le Nai saw Bai Ye, she moved over and sat next to him, "Strange man..."

"Wrong, it's a handsome boy!"

"Mom, what are you drinking?" Yao Lenai tilted her head slightly, looked at Bai Ye holding a brown drink, tapping the table lightly with her cat paws, and asked curiously.

"Secret sour plum soup, would you like some?" Bai Ye gently shook the cup in his hand, indicating that Lenai could have a try.

I saw Yao Lenai dipped his finger in Bai Ye's sour plum juice like a cat, and then licked it.

Her movements were light and agile, as if she were on a little adventure.

"Hmm... so sour..." Yao Lenai stuck out her tongue with a numb expression and spat twice.

"Hey! Wild cat, don't disturb the guests!" Li Xi frowned slightly, put his hands on his hips, and couldn't help but stop him.

"Mmm...want to play guitar."

Unable to bear the sour taste in her mouth, Lenai wrinkled her nose slightly and jumped lightly onto the small stage of the cafe.

Her movements were quick and natural, clearly a familiarity with the place, as she adjusted the position of her guitar and then began strumming away.

Her fingers plucked the strings gently, her movements smooth and skillful, and a soothing music flowed from her guitar.

The music is like the breeze in the morning, gently blowing through every corner of the cafe, bringing peace to people's hearts.

"The one playing it was actually Shichao Kan? By the way, it seems like she participated in the first performance of Tou and Pochi last time as well."

Bai Ye listened to the song that Yale Nai was going to play, and always felt that it was different from the last time he heard it.

Li Xi listened to Bai Ye's words and sighed helplessly, "That girl plays when she wants and leaves when she wants. Lately, she's been barging into our performances from time to time. I don't know what she's up to."

"Hey...I see." Bai Ye looked at Li Xi with a meaningful smile.

Then, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Bai Ye's body leaned forward slightly, his shoulders trembling slightly, obviously amused by something interesting.

Li Xi didn't understand what was going on and asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly laughing?"

"No, I just couldn't help thinking about your future life in the band...hahaha!"

"what?"

A picture formed in Bai Ye's mind: Riki holding a doll-like lamp in his left hand, Pochi in a trash can in his right hand, and Kaname crawling around on his head.

Imagining Li Xi's flustered look, I couldn't help but sigh, "Anyway, as the band's parent, you've worked really hard..."

"what?"

At this time, when Le Nai finished playing, she raised her head, her face flushed and said: "Satisfied..."

Bai Ye stood up upon seeing this, turned his back to Yao Lenai, and asked her, "Wildcat, who are you playing for?"

"Hmm? Here, the coffee shop." Kaname tilted her head, looking confused.

"Who are you playing for?"

"..." Yao Lenai fell silent.

"Isn't Wild Cat playing for us? What are you talking about?" Li Xi, who was still confused, was completely stunned when he saw the two people communicating with each other through brain waves.

Finally, Kaname ended her silence and said seriously, "Space, I originally played it only for grandma. Now you can hear it too..."

"I see..." Bai Ye got the answer he wanted, nodded slightly, and stood up to leave.

Before leaving, he stopped, turned around and asked Yao Lena, "But don't you think that the current playing is not interesting enough?"

Hearing this, Yao Le Nai lowered her head slightly, obviously thinking about Bai Ye's words...

Kaname looked at Bai Ye who was gradually leaving, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes. She walked off the stage and rushed to the door, "Wait..."

There was a hint of urgency in her voice, and her footsteps made anxious sounds on the floor.

But before she could rush out, Li Xi grabbed her hand.

“I haven’t paid yet!”

"Hmm?" Yao Lenai turned around and looked at Li Xi with a puzzled look on her face.

"Secret sour plum soup. Bai Ye said this is your course fee."

"Please pay for me. I don't have any money..."

"what?"

Chapter 52 Chihaya Aine, you don’t want your former classmates to find out that you’re back, do you?

"Chihaya Aine!!" Bai Ye finally found Chihaya Aine at the gate of Ring.

She was hiding behind an employee in a blue octopus suit.

"Shhh!!"

Chihaya Aine was startled. She gently pressed her fingers on her lips, hurriedly made a gesture of silence to Bai Ye, and then signaled him to hide with her.

Bai Ye was at a loss and could only follow Chihaya Aine's instructions and hide beside her.

Blue octopus suit employee:...

The two of them squatted together, like two Russian nesting dolls, motionless.

"So, are you playing hide-and-seek?" Bai Ye asked in a low voice, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

Aiyin poked her head out, pursing her lips as she looked at two passersby in the distance, "That was a classmate of mine from my previous school."

"and then?"

"I don't want them to find out... I'm back."

"Oh~British deserter~"

"I'm not a deserter!!"

Aiyin lowered her head, losing her usual liveliness. She murmured, "We absolutely can't let them find out, or else it's all over."

"Why? You've already become an internet sensation. It's only a matter of time before people will find out."

Hearing this, Aiyin's voice deepened. "The internet is different from reality. I'll keep it a secret for as long as I can."

Suddenly, a knife-handed attack hit Aine's uneven little head.

"It hurts a little...Baibai, what are you doing?"

"I haven't settled the score with you yet. Why did you suddenly book a performance for tomorrow? You clearly have performances a few days later..."

"Aren't the clothes and new songs ready? Just... treat it as practice, practice."

"Really?" Bai Ye looked at Aiyin who looked guilty and questioned.

"Really, really!! Believe me."

Chihaya Aine hid the panic in her eyes, put her hands on her hips, and suddenly put on a very determined expression.

"It's up to you. Act as you want."

"Hehehe, I know Baibai treats me the best~"

Chihaya Aine happily wanted to hug Baiye's arm, but found that Baiye was suddenly pulled up by someone.

"Take me out to play..."

As Kaname Lenai spoke, she pulled up Bai Ye and dragged him away forcefully.

The cat wants it, the cat gets it.

Aiyin looked at Bai Ye who was dragged away and said with a dazed look on her face: "What's going on?!"

A cool breeze blew by, and the atmosphere became awkward. Only Aine and the employee in the blue octopus suit were left staring at each other. Neither of them spoke, but just stared at each other silently, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

The employee in the blue octopus suit seemed to have a look on his face saying: Why are you still here?

Aiyin smiled shyly: "Thank you for hiding it for me. This is for you, it's my performance, remember to come and see~"

Aine took out the reserved ticket for the band's performance tomorrow and carefully stuffed it into the gap of the blue octopus puppet costume.

Her movements were gentle and quick, obviously not wanting the ticket to be blown away by the wind.

"Then, bye~"

Shoko, hiding in a blue octopus puppet costume, held the reserved ticket in his mouth and frowned slightly as he watched Aine walking away.

【I won’t watch it】

...

Bai Ye was dragged all the way by Yao Lenai. They walked across the overpass. The wind on the overpass blew gently, and Bai Ye's hair was blown a little messy.

After passing through the alley, the walls were covered with various posters and graffiti.

We passed by the railway, and the rails were shining in the sun.

"Bai Ye...and Lenai?"

Gao Songdeng, who was picking stones on the roadside, noticed the two people, then gently put the stones in his hand into his pocket and followed behind.

A cat, a magician and a penguin, all set off in a hurry.
