Xiangzi raised her head and met Su Shi's suspicious eyes. She understood what Su Shi was thinking and nodded slightly, confirming Su Shi's guess.
Chapter 222 Gift
It was already afternoon when the four people came out of the hospital.
On the train, Su Shi sat next to Aine: "Aine-chan, did you open the gift we gave you yesterday?"
“Not yet.” Aine shook her head. “Because of what happened yesterday, I’m not in the mood… Sorry.”
"Why do you need to apologize?" Su Shi gently hugged Aiyin, letting her lean on his chest, and smoothed Aiyin's hair with one hand.
“Because…” Aine’s eyes darkened, “That was everyone’s intention… but because of my own emotions…”
Xiangzi shook his head: "Nothing."
Su Shi's voice lingered in Aine's ears: "Then later...how about I go home and open your presents with you?"
"Ah."
Not long after, the four of them returned to Aine's house. When they arrived at Aine's room, the gift from yesterday was still on the table.
"Eight gift boxes, and they don't even have names." Aine sat on the sofa, her right hand resting on her cheek. "Which one should I open first?"
These gift boxes are big and small...but no matter which one I decide to open, I'm really looking forward to it...
Aine's feeling of loss on the train had been replaced by the excitement of opening presents. She stared intently at the presents on the table. After repeated consideration, she picked the largest one: "This is you."
Aine stretched out her right hand and pulled the largest green gift box over. She opened it in no time. Inside was a big Matcha figurine. It went without saying that it belonged to Lenna.
Next one... Dad's, then Mom's... Well, they're all my favorites.
And then... huh? There's a hand-sewn thing... What is this? A lotus?
Aine blinked and looked at the gift she had just opened: "Is this... a lotus?"
"Well, Aine-chan, do you like it?" Mu raised his head and looked at Aine expectantly.
This lotus was sewed bit by bit by Mortis and I according to the instructions on the Internet. It took more than a day, but... I was very happy.
Aiyin smiled slightly and nodded heavily at Mu: "I like it very much."
Hearing this, Mu couldn't suppress the smile on her lips any longer. She lowered her head and said, "This is something Mortis and I made together... As long as Aine-chan likes it."
"Is that so? Mumu, thank Mortis for me. I'll hang this lotus on my guitar." Aine got down from the sofa, walked to the corner, hung the lotus doll on the guitar, and then sat back on the sofa to continue opening the gifts.
"This is... clothes?" Aine opened the gift box and took out the packaging bag. "Is it endorsed by Meow Meng herself? Then... this should be her gift."
Putting the clothes aside, Aine continued to unpack them: "Hmm? This is... cosmetics? There are so many, they must be very expensive... I feel like this must be a gift from either Umirin or Rikki."
Carefully placing the cosmetics aside, Aine continued to open a gift box.
“This is… a tablet!?” Aine was a little surprised. “What a valuable gift! Oh, it has a name on it. It’s from Umirin. And those cosmetics just now were given by Rikki.”
After carefully putting away the other gifts, Aine took the smallest remaining gift box and said, "This one's from Soyorin, right?"
"Sou Da Yo." Su Shi nodded.
"What could it be?" Aine carefully opened the gift box, and inside was a golden necklace.
Aine’s eyes widened in surprise, her gaze shifting between the gift in her hand and Soyo’s face: “It’s not… Soyorin… This is a gold necklace!?”
"Do you like it?" Su Shi stood up and took the necklace from Aine's hand, "Let me put it on you and see if it fits."
"Wait, Soyorin, although I like it very much, it's too expensive. And the bank card that Sakki gave to my mother also contains money from you. I can't take it. I appreciate the kindness."
Hearing this, Su Shi narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a forced smile: "This is a gift from me to you."
Every word fell clearly into Aine's ears. Without waiting for Aine to speak again, Su Shi put the necklace on Aine's neck. She looked at the necklace she had carefully selected with satisfaction: "Not bad, it fits perfectly."
"Soyo..."
Aine wanted to say something more, but Su Shi covered her mouth with a slap: "Aine-chan, it's just a necklace, it's not that expensive."
Aine's eyes twitched. It's not that expensive? This is pure gold... Isn't it? Are all the daughters of Tsuki no Mori so generous? But... we're all studying in Tsuki no Mori...
Just as he was about to retort, he thought of Su Shi’s luxurious building, and suddenly he felt relieved.
It seems... to Soyorin, it's really just a necklace...
Looking at Aine who had suddenly quieted down, Sushi smiled slightly and released her hand that was covering Aine's. "Then we have a couple's necklace now."
After Su Shi finished speaking, she subconsciously left a kiss on Aine's face, then reached out and pulled out the necklace she had been wearing. The necklace on her neck could not be said to be exactly the same as Aine's, but it could be said to be exactly the same.
"Tsk, Su Shi is really cunning." Xiangzi pouted and looked at the two of them with some jealousy. "If I had known earlier, I would have prepared a couple's gift similar to Xiao Ai's."
Su Shi's eyes were filled with smiles. She glanced at Xiangzi and said, "Eh? Is Xiaoxiang jealous?"
"Of course." Xiangzi was very frank. She crossed her arms and said, "If I had prepared one in advance, Xiaoai would probably smile happily, right?"
"Besides, the lotus that Mu personally sewed for Xiao Ai and the cucumber that Xiao Ai sewed for Mu can be considered a couple's pair..." Thinking of this, Xiangzi felt sick. How could he be so caught up by these two without realizing it!?
"That's not necessary, Sakki. You are all the most important to me. That kind of thing is definitely not as good as the feelings between us." Aine waved her hand gently, signaling Xiangzi not to take these things to heart.
"That's what I said." Xiangzi bit his lip. Although he had a decisive thing to do with Xiao Ai...
Xiangzi grumbled, "But if I don't do it, I always feel that I have lost to Su Shihemu in some way."
"Pfft." Su Shi covered her mouth and laughed, "Xiao Xiang is always like this."
"I've decided. I'm going to make it up to you during the next festival." After saying that, Xiangzi also left a kiss on the other side of Aine's face.
Mu stared blankly at the two people from the Bold Group/Liao Er Jiu Fin Liu Chuan Yi 3 Dad Lu, her gaze switched back and forth between the three of them, finally stopping at Aine. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't.
Aiyin watched Mu's actions and naturally understood what she was thinking. She leaned forward and gently kissed Mu on the mouth.
Xiangzi and Sushi's eyelids twitched slightly, and they looked at each other. What...what was this feeling of losing for no apparent reason?
Chapter 223 Goals of the New Stage
Morning, agency.
Xiangzi and Mu walked into the lounge and saw three other people sitting on the sofa as soon as they entered.
Xiangzi yawned and greeted the three people: "Good morning."
"Good morning." Miao Meng held a sandwich in her hand. "Xiangzi, are you still asleep? Did you stay up late last night?"
Xiangzi nodded and said, "It was already past nine o'clock last night when we left Xiaoai's house. We didn't go to bed until almost twelve o'clock after we finished our work."
Hearing this, Chu Hua's pupils shrank and she lowered her head in disappointment, her fingers fiddling under the table.
"Really..." Miao Meng took a bite of the sandwich. "By the way, I didn't expect Aiko's family to be quite wealthy. They have a small independent house with a parking space."
Hailing threw away the remaining breakfast bag in her hand: "Is Ruomai envious again?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Haizi." Miao Meng smacked his lips, "Am I that kind of person?"
"It's quite similar." Hailing closed her eyes after saying that, and no longer paid attention to the dazed Miao Meng.
Just when Miao Meng came to his senses and wanted to seek justice from Hai Ling, Chu Hua suddenly spoke up, interrupting the whole lounge's frolicking: "That... Xiao Xiang..."
Xiangzi turned his head and looked at Chuhua calmly: "What's wrong?"
"Have you had breakfast? I bought breakfast for you and Xiaomu." After saying that, Chuhua took out the sandwiches he had bought and looked at Xiangzi expectantly.
Xiangzi shook his head slightly: "Thank you Chuhua for your kindness, but I and Mu both came after we finished eating."
"Is this...so..." Chu Hua's hand holding the sandwich froze, and then after putting the sandwich on the table, he became quiet and lowered his head in thought.
My concern shouldn’t be obvious... After all, I bought Hailing, Ruomai and Xiaomu’s portions as well.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Xiangzi stretched, revealing her perfect waist curve. "Next, our target is Tokyo Dome."
Miao Meng nodded: "Well, you have mentioned this before."
Xiangzi took out his laptop and opened the PowerPoint presentation he had prepared. "We've already performed at the Budokan, but if we want to go to the Tokyo Dome, the box office appeal will be at least 3-4 times that of the Budokan."
"3-4 times..." Chu Hua muttered to himself.
"Yes." Xiangzi nodded. "The previous martial arts hall was able to grow so fast because of my grandfather's support."
After a pause, Xiangzi glanced at the other four people and said, "But this time, we don't have the support of the Toyokawa family. We have to rely on our own efforts to reach the Tokyo Dome in about half a year."
"How much?" Miao Meng looked at Xiangzi in disbelief. "Xiangzi, did I hear correctly? Even a phenomenal hit takes one to two years. With six months... aren't you really just gambling?"
Xiangzi's eyes were determined: "I said before that we must debut as quickly as possible. Now... we must go to the Tokyo Dome as quickly as possible."
"Xiangzi, it's best to proceed steadily." Hailing was a little skeptical of Xiangzi's idea. "With our abilities, if we want to perform at the Tokyo Dome within a year, we should be able to do it if we work hard and nothing unexpected happens. But half a year..."
After listening to Hailing's advice, Xiangzi was silent for a moment, but still said: "Because time does not allow it."
"Time?" Miao Meng frowned slightly. "Is there something urgent, Xiangzi?"
"Yeah. I hope to get to Tokyo Dome as quickly as possible... because there's a reason I have to do it."
After Xiangzi finished speaking, Miao Meng shifted her gaze to Mu, expecting a response from Mu, Xiangzi's childhood sweetheart.
Mu nodded, his voice as weak as usual: "I... will help Xiangzi."
Seeing that the two were so determined, Miao Meng sighed: "Xiangzi, why don't you discuss it with your agent first... You also said that you don't have the support of the Toyokawa family this time. If you really fail, will the agency really bear the losses? By then, the band may be finished."
After Miao Meng finished speaking, Xiangzi lowered his head, clearly thinking briefly. Although he didn't want to admit the truth, what Ruomai said did make sense. If they really failed, the losses would be huge, and the agency probably wouldn't take the risk... Moreover, after failure, the band's reputation would definitely plummet... By then, let alone performing at the Tokyo Dome, even touring would probably be difficult...
After a moment, Xiangzi nodded: "Indeed..."
Hai Ling said, "Why not start preparing early? We should mainly tour first- and second-tier cities, reach out to young people in those cities, increase our fan base, collaborate with mainstream media, regularly appear on prime-time variety shows, and participate in some local music festivals."
Regarding Hailing's plan to kill Mioni, Miaomeng was puzzled: "Why does Haizi know so much?"
"Well, I learned from my family." Hailing glanced at Miao Meng and continued, "Miao Meng can also use your account and Mujica's account to promote and attract more fans."
Hearing this, Miao Meng's eyes lit up: "Huh? Really? I can use my account to take pictures of everyone?"
At this moment, Miao Meng recalled that he had complained to Ain that he wanted to film the lives of the Mujica band members to gain traffic. Isn’t this exactly what he wanted now?
Xiangzi didn't bother to be polite with Miao Meng and exposed her: "Ruomai is thinking about getting traffic again, right?"
"Well, it's something that can make money after all." Miao Meng spread his hands helplessly, "Although it's not much compared to the salary in Mujica, at least a little more is a little more."
Xiangzi held his forehead and said, "I knew it. I'll leave this matter to you from now on. Of course, you have to get our consent before filming the video."
Miao Meng nodded: "Xiangzi, I can still distinguish this matter clearly."
Hai Ling glanced at the two of them and continued her previous topic: "Once we feel it's about right, we'll test the box office pressure in a medium-sized venue."
After Hailing finished speaking, Xiangzi turned around and took a look at the PPT she had rushed out overnight. The corners of her eyes twitched. Compared with what Hailing said, what she had done was basically all unrealistic fantasies. It can only be said... there is a huge difference between professionals and amateurs.
Sighing, Xiangzi closed his laptop and said, "Oh, I see. I'll discuss this with my agent later."
Then Xiangzi looked at Hailing and said, "The first thing we should do now is to continue the tour?"
"Almost." Hailing nodded. "It would be better to add a few more songs in between."
"I see." Xiangzi nodded and stood up. "I'll go find my agent and talk to her."
"Have a nice journey." Miao Meng greeted him and watched Xiangzi leave.
After Xiangzi left, Chuhua turned to look at Mu: "Xiao Mu, did something happen to Xiaoxiang again? What was the reason she said she had to do it?"
Chapter 224 You are also a girl! ?
After Chu Hua finished asking, Miao Meng's eyes twitched, and he looked at her with confusion and sighed inwardly.
No? Xiangzi said it was because he had to do it... Chuzi still asked that. If Xiangzi wanted to say it, she would have said it. Tsk, if you ask Muzi now, she is on the same side as Xiangzi, how could she possibly say it...
At this moment, Miao Meng suddenly began to doubt Lingqi's behavior and IQ.
Chuzi said before that she wanted to be with Xiaoxiang forever, right? Uh... she can't be... is she? Although I feel a little offended by Chuzi, this behavior really makes me curious. I don't have any objections to this thing... but it's still quite surprising to suddenly appear next to someone like her.
In response to Chu Hua's question, Mu shook her head slightly and said nothing. She knew that she was not good at lying, so she simply shut up.
Chu Hua lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Xiao Mu, can you tell me?"
"Sorry, can not."
Chu Hua was stunned: "Is that so..."
Seeing that he couldn't get the answer he wanted from Zai Mu, Chu Hua stood up from the sofa and walked out in a daze: "I... I'm going to Sumi first."
After Chuhua left, Miao Meng came to Mu and said, "Muzi, there's something I want to ask you."
"what?"
"Do you know Chuhua?" Although Miao Meng really wanted to ask Mu directly whether Chuhua was a girl, considering that Hailing was still here, in order to save face for Chuhua, Miao Meng changed the question to a more tactful one.
"When Xiangzi went to the island for vacation during the summer vacation, he would play with Chuhua."
"Is that so?" Miao Meng nodded. "Then do you know what kind of friend Chuzi considers Xiangzi?"
