Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

Hachiman Hailing looked at Xiangzi carefully and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Is this the Toyokawa Shoko who ordered me not to refuse?

[As Li Xi said, he looks just like Bai Ye.]

"You scared me..." Xiangzi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Hailing, I'll be frank. Please join my band, Ave Mujica."

"Okay..." Hachiman Kailing nodded, with a hint of indifference in her tone, as if this was a trivial matter.

"Eh?!"

"Is there any problem? I said yes..." Hachiman Kailing asked back, looking at Xiangzi's surprised expression.

This time it was Xiangzi's turn to be incoherent. She originally thought that this would be the most difficult time to recruit people, but it was done in one go.

It's like a cheat...

"No... Hailing... well, I want to start a professional band."

"Yeah, so I'm in."

Xiangzi then added, trying to see something from Hachiman Kailing's face, "I'm going to use Ave Mujica to defeat the Aurora Band."

"What a great ambition! I'm very touched!" Hailing nodded affirmatively and put her hands on Xiangzi's shoulders to encourage her.

[This Xiangzi's words are a bit dangerous... I almost lost control of my expression just now, but luckily I suppressed the corners of my mouth.]

"Eh?"

It was Shoko Toyokawa's turn to be surprised. She even suspected that the person in front of her was joking.

"I'm joining Ave Mujica, don't you welcome me?" Seeing this, Hachiman Kailing extended her hand to Toyokawa Shoko to show her friendliness.

"Thank you, Hailing. Welcome aboard!"

Although Xiangzi was a little confused, he still shook hands with Hailing to express his welcome.

[The person who was the most difficult to conquer was convinced by me. I am a genius indeed.]

There was great joy in her voice, as if she had already welcomed the dawn of victory.

.....

...

A high-end dessert shop with elegant decoration, soft lighting, and the air filled with the aroma of desserts.

Miao Meng was sitting at the dining table, watching the sweet video she and Ain filmed together. She couldn't help but sigh, "This will get millions, right? Aiko is really born to attract traffic."

"Ms. Meow Meng... I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm Toyokawa Shoko who contacted you earlier."

A crisp voice sounded in Miao Meng's ears.

Toyokawa Shoko maintained a dignified appearance and sat elegantly opposite Miao Meng.

Her temperament is like that of a lady from an ancient painting, with a hint of innate nobility and elegance.

Miao Meng lowered her sunglasses, looked closely at Toyokawa Shoko, and then said casually, "Hello, I'm Miao Meng."

Is this Toyokawa Shoko? She looks similar to Byakuyako, but Byakuyako's lower eyelashes are longer.

"Thank you so much for coming here today."

Toyokawa Shoko thanked Miao Meng with a sincere and polite tone.

Miao Meng took off half of his sunglasses and said jokingly, "Nothing..."

After she carefully looked at Toyokawa Shoko's simple outfit, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Ah~"

【Poor ghost】

"Xiangzi, I should be the one apologizing. Was it too much for you to choose a place like this?"

[After all, if you don't come, it will be more troublesome to give instructions.]

Xiangzi grabbed the corner of his cheap clothes with a look of inferiority and denied it: "No..."

"So, you want me, Meow Dream, to join the band?"

Seeing Miao Meng taking the initiative to bring up the topic, Xiangzi became confident and began to take out the script he had prepared in his mind.

"Yes, I've seen your videos. You're truly a popular favorite."

"But, it's not a solution to continue on this route, right?"

After saying that, Xiangzi looked at Miao Meng with a teasing look.

"Xiangzi, what do you want to say?" Miao Meng put his hands under his chin and looked at Toyokawa Xiangzi with a playful expression.

"Please join my band... You are ambidextrous, right? You have a unique way of playing the drums, and it looks amazing and gorgeous."

"Of course, Miao Meng still has to ask you to continue honing your drumming skills."

Xiangzi picked up the Earl Grey tea she had just ordered and savored it carefully. Her movements were graceful and natural, as if every detail revealed her nobility and elegance.

"How dare you say that! I'm the drummer of the Aurora band. Do you have the right to comment on me?"

Although Miao Meng was unhappy, she still wanted to see what confidence this Toyokawa Shoko had that made her dare to win her over, so she asked a question.

"Will this do me any good?"

Xiangzi pushed her phone over, and on it was a photo of her and Wakaba Mu. As she pinched in to zoom in, Wakaba Mu's image filled the entire screen.

"Isn't this Wakaba Mu?"

Miao Meng's pupils contracted instantly and his mouth opened slightly, as if he had seen something incredible.

"That's right, Meowmu. She's the daughter of actress Mori Minami, right? She's also a member of the band."

"Eh?"

Is it true that Mutsuko (Mutsu's nickname) has joined Toyokawa Shoko's band? Could it be that her instructions are the same as mine?

What Toyokawa Shoko said next shocked Miao Meng even more.

"The lead singer is Sumimi's Chuhua. I've already negotiated with the agency."

"Wait a minute, Xiangzi, are you serious?!" Miao Meng looked up at Toyokawa Xiangzi in panic.

Even Chuzi (Chuhua's nickname) is in? What's the purpose?

Seeing Miao Meng no longer calm, Xiangzi smiled confidently. She knew that her plan had begun to work.

She then went on to say, "And the bassist I found is no less skilled than a professional. He's a formidable player who plays in multiple bands."

[This refers to Haizi (Hailing's nickname), right?!]

Miao Meng clenched her hands slightly, holding the hem of her skirt tightly, "And then, plus me..."

"As a band, this lineup is as solid as a rock," Xiangzi said as he elegantly drank the last sip of his black tea.

"How's it going, Meow Meng? Now you can't refuse me at all, so just listen carefully from now on."

"We want to make a mainstream debut as soon as possible, and soon face Aurora and defeat it."

"How is it? Meow Meng, what's your answer?"

Xiangzi looked at Miao Meng expectantly, her eyes full of hope and confidence. She firmly believed that Miao Meng could give a positive answer.

She's thrown out both the bait and the challenge. I don't believe Miao Meng won't take the bait.

Miao Meng excitedly took off her sunglasses, and her energetic and playful face appeared before Xiangzi, "Yutian Temple..."

"My name is Yutenji Wakamugi."

It’s so interesting and fun.

"So Ruomai, are you willing to give the rest of your life to me?"

Miao Meng nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up crazily, "I do..."

【Toyokawa Shoko, since that’s the case】

【Then let us play a pretend band with you】

Chapter 79 Mu: Come, Don’t Come, Come

Shoko Toyokawa, who had just finished her part-time job at a customer service agency, braved the scorching sun and her back was soaked with sweat as she walked to the celebrity mansion where Mutsumu Wakaba lived.

She stood in front of the mansion, its towering walls and luxurious gates seeming to separate two worlds. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her heart, which was beating violently with fatigue and anticipation.

Then Xiangzi pressed the doorbell...

"Miss Mu, Miss Xiangzi is here." The servant announced respectfully.

In the basement, Mu was playing the guitar quickly, her fingers flying across the strings, playing a passionate melody. She was immersed in the world of music, forgetting everything around her.

She didn't stop playing until she heard the announcement and slowly moved to the living room.

At this time, Shoko Toyokawa was sitting on the sofa, sipping Earl Grey tea.

When she saw Mu coming, she put down the tea in her hand, placed her hands gently on her thighs, and looked at Mu solemnly.

"Mu, I've gathered all the other members of my band. Now you're the only one left."

Without thinking, Mu said calmly, "I'll join."

There was no hesitation in her voice, as if this was a decision that had already been made.

"Huh?" Toyokawa Shoko's eyes widened in surprise, and she leaned back, hesitantly saying, "Once you join, there's no turning back."

After listening to this, Mu nodded affirmatively, "Hmm..."

"Mu, let me make it clear first, we Ave Mujica are going to compete head-on with the Aurora Band." There was a hint of solemnity in Xiangzi's words, as if he was announcing an important mission.

"Eh?" Mu's face showed a trace of panic when he heard that.

【Xiang, hunting for the Aurora?】

Xiangzi keenly caught Mu's emotion. She stood up and declared firmly: "Mu, don't worry."

"I have gathered enough strength. I will definitely win this time."

“Ave Mujica must win!”

[Aurora, White Night, you wait for me]

Mu lowered her head again, her fingers unconsciously twitching against each other. Her heart was filled with conflict and struggle, as if bound by invisible ropes.

Seeing this, Xiangzi placed his hand on his chest and said with determination: "Believe me, Mu. Sanjiao Hatsuka, Yawata Kailing, Yutenji Wakumai, plus you and me. It only takes some time to settle down, and we can definitely do it..."

Hearing the familiar name, Ruoye Mu could no longer control the expression on her face. She seemed to have a premonition...

【Auspicious, dangerous】

Can't go on

Mu quickly raised his head, frowned tightly, and said in a very firm tone: "I'm not coming..."

Even if you disobey orders

Even if you quit Aurora

[Even if banned by the music industry]

A memory suddenly flashed through Mu's mind. It was a dying mother's entrustment: "Mu, you are the one closest to Xiangzi now. I leave Xiangzi in your care..."

Not allowed

【Xiang, injured】

"Mu, what's wrong with you?"

Toyokawa Shoko is very upset by Mu's indecisive attitude, but Mu is a necessary part of the band.

Without Mu, Meow Meng wouldn't be tempted by Wakaba Mujica's reputation and join Ave Mujica. In Xiangzi's opinion, Wakaba Mujica was the bait to dangle Meow Meng.

Thinking of this, Xiangzi could only suppress his emotions and asked gently, "Mu, why did you suddenly stop coming?"

"..."

Mu was silent for a moment, then said, "Because if I join... Xiang will be ruined."

"Tsk..." Toyokawa Shoko could no longer suppress her emotions, she stood up straight and said in a low voice: "Mu, you are really high and mighty..."

"...Sorry." Mu's pupils shrank slightly, his mouth opened slightly, then he lowered his head and said nothing.

Xiangzi added to Mu in the coldest tone: "If that's the case, then I'll go find another guitarist."
