"I..." Deng looked up at Chuhua, then lowered his head again.

Chu Hua sat down next to Deng, quietly looking at her profile. This girl... seemed to be a member of the band Xiao Xiang had been in before? Perhaps she had encountered something unhappy.

"You can see the North Star even in the city." Chu Hua raised his head and looked up at the starry sky. "I used to think you couldn't see stars in Tokyo. I was shocked when I found it."

Listening to Chu Hua's words, Deng also raised his head and looked for the direction of the North Star.

Chu Hua's attention was drawn to the scattered notebooks in the bag. What is this...

She reached out and picked up Deng's notebook, slowly appreciating it: "'A Moment of Sound'? It's a song...it's well written."

"Eh?" Deng turned his head, looking a little dazed.

"I feel like I can convey it through singing. Even if it's something that's hard to explain, singing can convey my feelings better than words." As he spoke, Chu Hua grabbed the notebook with both hands and handed it to Deng.

Deng looked at the notebook Chu Hua handed over, the light in her eyes still dim. She took the notebook tremblingly and lowered her head again: "No... I tried to sing it today, but... that person still didn't receive it."

"Huh? The song was sung but that person didn't receive it?" Chu Hua nodded in thought, with the photo of Crychic in his mind.

Is the "that person" the child is talking about Xiaoxiang? This song seems a bit like a thank you... and a confession, but judging by the child's personality, it's probably not a confession...

Oh, what am I thinking? Xiaoxiang has already formed Mujica, how could this be possible? This kid must be saying this to his friends... or if he's in a band, he must be saying this to his band members...

Thinking of this, Chu Hua smiled slightly. She gently placed her hand on Deng's shoulder: "It's okay. If it didn't reach you, it might be because of your emotions. Think about whether you put all your emotions and courage into the singing."

"Emotion and courage...put it all in..." The eyes of the lamp's owner gradually widened, "Courage..."

She remembered clearly that when she was singing "A Meeting of Sounds" for the second time, she did not have the courage to look directly at Aiyin, and she could not even look at Xiangzi while singing.

"It seems... you didn't put your courage into this song." Chu Hua said with some regret, "I saw your song. It takes a lot of courage to express the emotions you want to express."

"Is... is that so?" Deng looked at Chuhua with a pleading look in his eyes, as if waiting for Chuhua to confirm his words again.

"Yeah." Chu Hua stood up and gently brushed off the dust on his body. "Put your courage into this song, and you will get the answer you want. Come on."

After saying that, Chu Hua walked down the stairs.

"Courage..." Deng clutched the notebook tightly, "If I put courage into the song...Aine-chan will accept my feelings?"

The next day, school was over.

After Deng and Aine walked out of the classroom, they found that Xiangzi was already standing in the corridor waiting for them.

"Let's go?" Xiangzi pointed at the stairs and asked the two of them with his head tilted.

"Okay, let's go." Aiyin stood between the two of them, holding one of them by the hand, and walked out of the teaching building happily.

Xiangzi turned his head and looked at Aiyin and Deng: "Are you still going to rehearse today?"

"Yeah, when..." Aine just nodded, and before she could finish her words, her phone rang. Her eyes twitched. What a coincidence! Could it be that we couldn't practice again today? Wouldn't Rikki go crazy?

Aine released the two of them and took out her phone from her pocket. It was a message from Meow Meng.

She was a little confused, and then clicked into the chat box as if she realized something.

Chapter 168 Aine and Meowmu (14 chapters to go)

[Meow Dream: Aiko, are you free tonight? Let's go out for dinner.]

[Ain: Meow Meng, are you really going to treat me to a meal?]

[Meow Dream: Yes, yes, you won't refuse, will you? That would be pointless. I originally wanted to thank you.]

[Aine: But you already gave me strawberries, so I don’t need them for dinner, right?]

[Meow Dream: This is necessary. Do you have time tonight?]

[Aine: Uh... what are you planning?]

[Meow Dream: Meet at the location I sent you at 8pm, okay?]

[Aine: Eight o'clock is fine.]

[Meow Dream: Okay, see you then.]

After finishing her conversation with Meowmeng, Aine sighed, and Xiangzi beside her smiled slightly: "What's wrong? Don't you want to go?"

Aine shook her head, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of her phone. “I just feel… that Meow Mengqin might have gone a little too far. I was clearly just helping out normally.”

"Who knows? I can't get along with her anyway." Xiangzi spread his hands, was silent for a moment, and continued, "Okay, if you and Deng don't go, Rikki will get angry."

Aine slapped her forehead, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot, is Sakki still going to the rehearsal room to play today?"

"No, I have to go back to write a new song today. I'll go another day."

"Ah."

……

Today's rehearsal is over. Of course, although Deng incorporated some courage into the song, whenever she sang the line "You never tire of waiting for me with tenderness", her eyes would always drift away unconsciously.

At 7:30 in the evening, Aiyin followed the location that Miaomeng sent her and arrived at the agreed place.

This is a Western restaurant. Its gorgeous exterior is particularly eye-catching in the night, and the warm yellow light shines onto the street through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Meeting here? That's expensive, isn't it?" Aiyin peered through the glass wall, her fingers unconsciously gripping the strap of her bag. Sure enough, in a corner, she spotted Meow Meng.

He was still wearing his signature sun hat and sunglasses, which looked a bit out of place under the warm lighting.

Gently pushing open the door of the western-style restaurant, Aine walked in.

The crystal chandelier reflected brilliant light, illuminating the entire space with golden splendor. She carefully avoided the waiter, fearing that her shoes would leave marks on the carpet.

Aine stood in front of Meowmeng a little awkwardly.

Miao Meng raised her head, the corners of her mouth slightly raised under her sunglasses: "You're here, Aizi, I didn't expect you to come so early."

“Uh, obviously Meow Mengqin came earlier.” Aine sat down awkwardly, fiddling with her napkin unconsciously with her fingers.

"Well, this meal is to thank you for saving the Fukuoka concert." As she said that, Meow Meng handed the menu to Aine. The menu with a gold border shimmered under the light. "Take a look and see if there is anything you want to eat. You can choose it yourself."

Aiyin took the menu tremblingly: "Uh... Meow Meng dear, we can just find a place outside, why do we have to come to such a high-end place?"

"Don't worry about that. Just pick what you like." Miao Meng pointed at the menu in Ain's hand.

Aiyin had no choice but to lower her head and order two relatively cheap dishes before handing the menu to Miaomeng: "These two should be enough for us.

Miao Meng took the menu and twitched her lips. "No, what is this girl doing? Is she worried that I can't pay? I said it was my treat, how could I not bring enough money? Seriously, I'm clearly ready to spend a fortune...this guy...

"You really don't want it anymore?" Miao Meng asked with a doubtful attitude, his eyes under the sunglasses were inquiring.

Aine waved her hand and gave a shy smile: "Yeah, no need. This is just a formality after all. We just need to have enough to eat."

What a strange little girl. There are people who can't get along with money.

Miao Meng complained inwardly, then handed the menu to the waiter. She held her chin with both hands, a smile on her lips: "How did the strawberries taste that day?"

When mentioning strawberries, Aine's eyes sparkled and she nodded heavily: "Yeah, those strawberries are delicious."

Hearing this, Miao Meng felt a little proud inside, and the pride in her eyes could not be concealed.

Of course, those strawberries were grown by my mother herself, of course they are delicious!

But when Miao Meng thought of this, she looked a little lost. Tsk, she gave all of it to Aizi and forgot to save some for herself... She finally thought she could eat the strawberries grown by her mother...

Seeing Miao Meng's suddenly proud expression turn down, Aiyin seemed to have guessed something: "Were those strawberries grown by Miao Meng's in-laws?"

Miao Meng was stunned: "Huh? How... do you know? That was planted by my mother herself."

“Auntie takes really good care of Strawberry…” Aine rested her chin on one hand, “Oh, Meow Mengqin is a Kumamoto, is this strawberry a gift from your family after they went to Fukuoka to watch the concert?”

Miao Meng took a sip of water and said, "It's a bit rude to ask about other people's family affairs right away."

"Sorry... because that strawberry was so delicious... I couldn't help it..."

"Yes." Miao Meng paused for a moment, then nodded and replied, "How did you know this strawberry was a gift from my family after they came to Fukuoka to watch a concert?"

"I just guessed." Aine smiled slightly. "The packaging of your gift box is just loose strawberries put into a makeup box. It takes about five hours to go from Fukuoka to Kumamoto and back. You probably don't have enough time, so I guessed it was a gift from your family."

Hearing this, Miao Meng turned her face away and muttered softly, "Why didn't you guess I bought it at the store?"

"Who would use cosmetics to pack fruit in a hospital gift box?" Aiyin was speechless, then said with a hint of emotion, "I didn't expect Miao Mengqin was also doing this for his family."

"How rude." Miao Meng took off his sunglasses and glanced at Aine with some dissatisfaction. "Aren't you also in the hospital to exhaust your friends?"

“Uh…” Aine took a sip of boiled water to ease the awkwardness, “That’s what I said…”

"Pfft." Miao Meng couldn't help laughing, "I feel like you and I are quite similar."

Aine tilted her head. “Eh? Why do you say that?”

"It's because others do the corresponding things themselves, so you pay attention to me, right?"

"Because of others? But when Miao Meng took off the mask herself, didn't she..." After saying that, Aine didn't say anything else, but Miao Meng already knew what she wanted to say.

"Take off the mask." Miao Meng held her chin with one hand and subconsciously tapped the table with the other hand. "Why do you think I took off the mask?"

"The traffic is 23 years old, like a leek, y paint, private..."

"That's right." Miao Meng nodded and didn't deny it. "With traffic, I can make money. With money... I can achieve my goals one by one."

Aiyin frowned slightly: "Then isn't this still for yourself?"

"My goal...you don't even know what it is..."

Chapter 169 Meow Dream's Past

When she said this, Meow Meng's eyes looked a little downcast, and Aine naturally noticed her expression.

"Meow Dream Kiss?"

Miao Meng looked at the pink-haired girl in front of her. This girl... seemed different from the ones I met...

An inexplicable sense of trust grew in Miao Meng's heart. She rested her chin on one hand and looked sideways at the streetlight outside the window. "I'm from the countryside. When I was little, my family was very poor, but we had a lot of people. My older brothers and sisters dropped out of school after junior high school and went to work in the city."

"Huh?" Aiyin was stunned. She didn't know why Miao Meng suddenly said this to her.

"Later, I happened to hear a neighbor who had just returned from Tokyo say that Tokyo was great and prosperous." Miao Meng lowered her eyes. "At that time, I was eleven years old."

Aiyin didn't say anything, but just listened to Miaomeng quietly.

"After that, I told my parents and they didn't want me to leave home and go to Tokyo. But later, when my brothers and sisters found out, they gave me the money they had saved."

The waiter brought out both dishes that Aiyin ordered.

Miao Meng handed the chopsticks to Aine: "At that time, I was thirteen years old. It was the first time I left home and came from Kumamoto to Tokyo..."

The scene before her eyes gradually became blurry, and Miao Meng's memories retreated to the moment when she first arrived in Tokyo:

I got off the train, pulling the luggage I brought from home. The somewhat worn luggage bag was out of place with the bustling scene.

As she walked out of the train station, the scene outside made her, a country girl who had never seen the world, stare blankly.

The wide streets were packed with people and cars. Although there were streetlights here and there in the countryside, this was the first time I had ever seen such ornate and exquisite streetlights. Looking up, the tall and short buildings rose into the sky, blocking my eyes.

Shock and happiness fill me up.

He took out an old cell phone and looked at the address on it. After asking more than a dozen passers-by, someone finally told him where the address on the phone was.

I arrived at the house of the landlord that my neighbor had contacted in advance. I finally succeeded in moving into Tokyo. With the dream of climbing up, the first night passed just like that.

The next day, I started looking for a job, but because of my age, no boss was willing to hire me.

Just when she was feeling discouraged, a man appeared and told her that his company was willing to hire her. At that moment, her world seemed to light up again.

After joining the company, I worked hard every day. After more than ten days, when I was talking to my mother on the phone, I realized that I should ask the man about his salary.

When I returned to my workstation, I encouraged myself and found the man to ask when I could get paid. The man just smiled and told me, "The company is in its early stages, so I need talent. As for the salary, I will pay it later, don't worry."

After getting the answer I wanted, I continued to work hard every day, and soon two months passed.

When she went to the company again, she found that the man who should have been in the company every day was not there today. She thought the man was just late, but after two or three days, it was not until another employee told her that the man had run away with the money that she realized she had been cheated.

That day, I hid in the rental house, looking at the ceiling and thinking for a long time. This was the first time I experienced the dangers of society.

But the next day, I continued to muster up the courage to start looking for a new job, because I had a belief in my heart: good people will definitely be rewarded, and I must work hard to change my family's life.

Not long after, I found a new job selling mobile phones in a mobile phone store. The boss told me that I had to deposit two months' salary to work there, otherwise I might run away halfway through the work.

Two months passed quickly. Looking at the little money left in the suitcase bag, I felt a little excited, thinking that I could finally get my salary.

But, just like before, when I arrived at my previous workplace, the mobile phone store was also closed. There was a big notice on the door: Room for rent.

This time, I was dumbfounded again.

That night, I hid in the quilt and thought for a long, long time... The physical and mental exhaustion consumed me.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next day. I was woken by a loud knock on the door. I pushed it open with a tired face, but received bad news from the landlord: if I didn't have money to pay the rent, I would be evicted.
