Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

"Li Xi, bye~"

"Saiago, you bastard!"

Aiyin turned around and called out to Riki playfully, showing her iconic fangs, and rushed forward as fast as a tram.

She immediately shook off Li Xi, who was leaning against the wall, and was secretly pleased with herself.

But she soon encountered a new obstacle.

She saw Yamada Ryo standing right in the middle of the hot spring pool, blocking her way.

Liang put his hands on his hips, with a serious expression on his face and his eyes as determined as a general guarding the pass.

"Bai Ye is my brother, Aine, it's wrong for you to do this." Yamada Ryo opened his arms and said righteously.

Seeing this, Aiyin didn't slow down, but instead quickened her pace, shouting to Yamada Ryo, "Ryo, follow me. I'll let you take pictures, and then I'll distribute them!"

"Really?!"

"Guitarists don't lie to bassists, so follow suit."

"Yoshi, Aine, let's go!"

The gatekeeper general, Yamada Ryo, was accepted into Aine's service in less than three sentences.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, rushed towards the hot spring pool like ninjas, with their hands behind their backs, at lightning speed.

...

...

Bai Ye was lying comfortably in a natural hot spring pool. He leaned against the edge of the pool, his head tilted back, looking up at the bright starry sky.

The hot steam from the hot spring swirled around him, as if covering him with a mysterious veil.

Next to him, there is a egret, looking around as if guarding him, adding a bit of liveliness to the quiet atmosphere.

"Shh-"

The wooden door of the boys' hot spring pool was suddenly opened, making a sharp sound, which scared Bai Ye.

He sat up straight, and the towel around his lower body tightened. His eyes were fixed on the door, his heart filled with vigilance and doubt.

[I'm the only guy in the entire hot spring hotel right now, why is someone coming in at this time?]

"Oh hayo~Bai Ye!"

A girl with brown hair and stars on both sides of her head greeted Bai Ye.

Her face was filled with a bright smile, as if the sunshine had fallen into her heart, and people couldn't help but be infected by her enthusiasm.

"Eh? Senior Kasumi! Why are you here?" Bai Ye looked at Kasumi Toyama, who was wrapped tightly in a bath towel, with a look of shock on his face.

His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, as if he had seen something incredible.

Toyama Kasumi smiled supernaturally, "Of course I came here to take a hot spring bath~"

"Wait, this is a man..."

Before Bai Ye could finish explaining, Toyama Kasumi crashed into the hot spring pool like a torpedo thrown into the sea.

For a moment, water splashed everywhere, causing waves.

"It's so comfortable. It's really best to take a hot spring bath with friends." Toyama Kasumi poked her head out of the water with a satisfied and comfortable expression on her face.

Hearing this, Bai Ye said hesitantly, "If you're here, everyone from Poppin' Party should be here, right? They didn't come in with you, did they?!"

Poppin'party is one of the three big bands that started Girls' Generation. Previously, Aurora's Masking was also the drummer of RAISE A SUILEN in the big three bands.

There is another giant band, Roselia, that I haven’t come into contact with yet, so I won’t introduce it in detail here.

Kasumi Toyama is the lead singer and guitarist of Poppin'party. She is a student at Rowing Boat School and is Riki's senior. She also often works part-time with Riki at Ring.

Including the last campus festival, she was also responsible for the behind-the-scenes staff.

After a few interactions, Bai Ye had developed some friendship with her.

"They are next door~" Toyama Kasumi smiled happily, and that smile was as gorgeous as the flowers in spring.

She wrapped her arms around Bai Ye's shoulders in a supernatural way, her movements light and natural.

"Isn't this because Bai Ye is lonely? I'm here to accompany you~"

By the way, there is one biggest characteristic of Kasumi Toyama that I haven’t introduced yet, and that is that she loves to hang out with beautiful girls.

She is always immersed in her own world, with unique thoughts and behaviors.

Therefore, Bai Ye was identified by her as a super charming and beautiful school girl.

Even though Bai Ye explained that he was a boy, Toyama Kasumi still insisted that he was a girl.

She even wanted to pull down Bai Ye's pants to prove that she was right.

Fortunately, Bai Ye ran fast at that time, otherwise it would be hard to say what would have happened afterwards.

"Senior Kasumi, I've told you many times that I'm a boy... and this is not the place for you to be!" Bai Ye pushed away Kasumi Toyama's cheek with one hand, with a hint of helplessness and determination in his tone.

"Why can't I stay?"

"Because this is the boys' hot spring pool."

"Then why can Bai Ye stay here?"

“…”

Bai Ye slapped his forehead helplessly. He knew that he couldn't explain it clearly to Toyama Kasumi.

"Huh~ Why hasn't Byakuya developed yet? It's a bit late..." Toyama Kasumi commented while staring at Byakuya's front armor.

"....." Bai Ye stood up in a flash. His hot spring enjoyment time ended early. "I'm done. Senior Xiangcheng, come with me!"

"Hey~ I just started soaking."

"This is not the place for you!" Bai Ye used all his strength and finally brought Kasumi Toyama out of the men's hot spring pool.

Fortunately, he is the only boy in the hot spring hotel, otherwise it would be really troublesome!

When Bai Ye finally took Toyama Kasumi away after going through so much trouble, he was once again shocked by the scene at the entrance of the hot spring pool.

Hongxia and Yamada Ryo fell to the ground together. Hongxia used her legs and feet to clamp down on Yamada Ryo's neck.

Yamada Ryo clapped his hands on the ground repeatedly to show his surrender.

On the other side, Aiyin was pressed to the ground by Su Shi, who held her head down with one hand and locked her hands with the other.

Bai Ye looked at the four people in confusion, his facial expression gradually stiffening, and he couldn't help but complain: "Are you guys fighting freely?"

"No, Baibai, we just wanted to peek at you taking a hot spring bath, but were stopped..." Aine raised her head from the ground with a hint of grievance and an innocent smile on her face.

"what!?"

Chapter 121 Hongxia: Let’s have a live show in Kumamoto!

Hitoyoshi Onsen Shirasagi-so, White Night Room.

Bai Ye leaned lazily against the window railing, looked up at the slightly chaotic moon, and slowly took a sip of the special sour plum tea here.

The aroma of the sour plum tea spread on the tip of the tongue, with a hint of sourness and sweetness, flowing through the body together with the warmth of the hot spring, making Bai Ye relax his brows and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Aiyin and Yamada Ryo, who had been causing trouble at the hot spring pool entrance, were also pulled back to their rooms for a second punishment.

Bai Ye didn't care much about it, but the occasional wailing coming from the room made him frown slightly, it did sound a bit miserable.

"咚咚-"

Outside the room, someone knocked gently. The sound seemed to knock on Bai Ye's heart, making him turn his head and look.

"Please come in... Is that Hong Xia?" Bai Ye glanced at the person who came, then sat down and relaxed, with no intention of getting up.

Seeing this, Hong Xia took off her shoes and walked barefoot to Bai Ye. She said helplessly, "Bai Ye, I'm really sorry about what happened to Liang and Aine. I've already taught them a lesson."

"It's okay, Hongxia is the one who has worked hard." Bai Ye pushed another cup of special sour plum tea next to him in front of Hongxia. He had originally planned to drink it later.

Hong Xia took it and sat next to Bai Ye.

The two of them just sat there quietly, the moonlight pouring down on Bai Ye like water, outlining his handsome face and distracting Hong Xia for a moment.

Her eyes couldn't help but wander on Bai Ye's face, making her heart beat faster.

"That's right...that's right!" Hong Xia blushed and quickly changed the subject, as if to get rid of the throbbing in her heart.

She came to the window, leaned over Bai Ye who was sitting above, and pointed her finger gently at a tall building in the distance. That was Kumamoto Castle.

"Bai Ye's previous residence was near there, right?"

"It's just nearby. And unlike that magnificent building, my place is an old neighborhood that has long been demolished."

"Really? I was thinking of going."

Hongxia lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the light. She learned about Bai Ye's past from Aine.

The reason for proposing to travel to Kumamoto this time was largely because Bai Ye had left his footprints on this land.

She longed to follow the path Bai Ye had once walked. Even if she could only look at it from a distance, she felt that she was one step closer to his heart.

"There's nothing good to go there. It's just a shabby place." Hong Xia's words touched Bai Ye's heart and reminded him of his childhood.

The loneliness brought by those days without his family overwhelmed him like a tide, and every memory seemed to leave unhealable scars in his heart.

I hate recalling this past.

Suddenly, Bai Ye felt a pair of arms gently wrapped around his neck, and then Hong Xia's small body, with its warmth, completely wrapped around his head.

Hong Xia had climbed onto the window railing at some point, her body firmly resting on Bai Ye's legs.

Her hug was gentle but firm, as if she was trying her best to make up for the beauty that Bai Ye had once lacked, and trying to use this warmth to dispel the haze in his heart.

"It's all over, Bai Ye~"

Hong Xia's voice was like a whisper in a dream, soft and warm. She gently stroked Bai Ye's long, smooth hair, her fingers weaving through it.

Then, Hong Xia slowly let go of Bai Ye, and the two faced each other, so close that they could clearly see each other's reflections in their eyes.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the atmosphere between the two became particularly ambiguous, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats intertwined.

After a long time, Hongxia smiled with satisfaction, her eyes twinkling like stars.

She pointed to the Kumamoto Castle and said to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, let's go there and have a live show!"

"Eh?"

"Take Bai Ye and your past and present and release them through singing!"

Hong Xia stretched out her little hand, pointed at the night sky that was gradually dotted with stars, and said with a smile: "Come with me..."

"With the closing band."

But Hong Xia didn't know that in Bai Ye's eyes, her smile was brighter and more eye-catching than the moon at that moment.

"Yes, together." Bai Ye slowly stretched out his little finger towards Hong Xia in the moonlight.

Hong Xia tilted her head and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"It's a promise. Make a pinky promise. Don't change it for 100 years."

"Bai Ye is so childish, just like a kid."

"Then Hongxia, aren't you coming?"

Hong Xia smiled with satisfaction, stretched out her pinky finger, and hooked it with Bai Ye's. Their hands swayed in the moonlight, as if they were performing a silent dance.

The inner vows between them were thus established, as bright and firm as the stars.

It can be summarized as: she cares about him and he cares about her.

"Yabai! Someone's running away!!"

Chihaya Aine's anxious roar was heard outside the door. She hurriedly pulled Su Shi and rushed into Bai Ye's room as if to catch a thief.

The two caught Hong Xia and Bai Ye who were still holding hands as they agreed.

"Look! I was tempted, Zero. If I hadn't planned to sneak into Baibai's room, Hongxia would have really succeeded!"

Aiyin pointed at Hongxia and argued confidently, not realizing that she was also exposing herself.

"Okay, okay..." Su Shi closed his eyes, frowned, and was in a state of endurance.

[I was just on guard against Aine, but I didn't expect Nijika to be so direct.]
