I'm here to form a band, what do you want to do!

"The performance is completely different, too exaggerated, and not at all like the real thing." Hong Xia commented.

"..."

"I should have noticed it earlier. I noticed something was wrong with you during the school trip."

"Hongxia, you should be the one who is most out of place." After Yamada Ryo calmed down, he hugged his waist from behind and said with a smile.

Volume 2: Ask for another day off, thinking about the extra chapter

I thought of writing it in three parts: the simulation, the confirmed relationship, and the passionate love state. Each person is close to 10,000 words. I finished writing Nagasaki Suyo in the past two days, and the others will have to wait until next month.

I don't want to stay up late, so I go to bed today.

It will be finished in almost two months, and I will organize the extra chapters into documents by then.

Volume 2: Chapter 127: A World of Two, a Resolved Embrace

"Stop it." Hong Xia, who was being tickled, broke free and glared at the naughty Yamada Ryo.

This best friend who usually pretends to be cold now reveals such an attitude, which really exposes herself.

"Okay, let's cook first." Yamada Ryo held up the long white radish in his hand.

Neon lights flickered outside the window, and I could faintly hear the chirping of birds. It was already late.

She nodded slightly, started cutting the vegetables slowly, and then placed them on the plate with the most beautiful posture.

Yamada Ryo was standing behind her and chattering non-stop, while Ito Rin was in the living room, looking over here from time to time.

He wanted to come in and help.

"Oh, right." Hong Xia turned around, put her wet fingers on her cheek, and said with a smile, "Let's form a band."

"I think I've heard that before," she said.

"It suddenly occurred to me why you agreed."

"Well, I don't have a band for the time being. If someone invites me, then I'll go." As he said that, Yamada Ryo rolled up his sleeves, revealing his smooth and white wrists, and poked Hong Xia's cheek unwillingly.

Looking into her eyes, Yamada Ryo remembered something.

Those with squinty eyes are monsters.

"Are you ready? I'm starving!" shouted the boy who was always observing the situation.

Why are the two of them poking each other? This is not right.

"It will be ready soon." "There is no reason for you to be so loud when you don't work!"

"I'm sorry." Ito Rin apologized in a rhythmic manner.

"I'll forgive you this time."

Yamada Ryo poked his head out of the kitchen and looked at her smugly.

"You didn't even pay anything, so why are you so awesome?"

Yamada Ryo narrowed his eyes and looked Ito Rin up and down.

"I always feel like someone is saying bad things about me behind my back. Is it you?" The person who didn't pay was more arrogant than anyone else.

Nonsense, there are so many people complaining about you behind your back, I can’t even get on board.

It's impossible that you have telepathy as soon as I finish talking.

"Senior, how is that possible? I like you the most." He forced a smile.

"I thought you would only say this to Nagasaki Suyo."

"The concepts of liking and loving are different, so don't overthink it."

"Tsk, just take it as the truth."

……

Hongxia skillfully separated the ingredients and filled the kitchen table with plates.

Yamada Ryo was beside her, observing

The white steam above the hot pot and the happy expression on her beautiful profile make people feel her happiness.

"It's inexplicable." Hong Xia suddenly said.

Yamada Ryo turned around and looked at her in confusion.

"……what?"

“I love his experience.”

"...I didn't say I liked him." Yamada Ryo denied it flatly.

After hearing this, Hong Xia looked at her quietly until she turned her face away guiltily.

He said he knew her very well, yet he still tried to make excuses.

He was always aware of Liang's unusual behavior, but he just couldn't believe that she could be his opponent.

It doesn't make sense.

"Why?" Hong Xia skillfully cut a cross pattern on the mushroom.

“…He’s handsome?”

"Not as handsome as you."

"...This is the sentence that made me happiest tonight, Hongxia. I'm about to cry."

"So this excuse is invalid. Think of another one." Hong Xia stopped the knife and looked at her.

White steam came out of the hot pot. Yamada Ryo hurriedly turned off the fire and took a cloth to take it down.

In the white mist, Hongxia heard her say.

"Allowing only you to like him is too selfish."

"Besides, neither of us has the right to talk about this. Nagasaki Suyo is the real girlfriend."

"If you want to compete, you should at least snatch Ito Rin from her first."

Looking at her profile in the mist, Yamada Ryo's expression returned to normal. There was no shyness or uneasiness of being exposed, only the calmness that was unique to her.

Yamada Ryo was right, she had no reason to condemn.

Hongxia felt a little regretful. Why did she say these words when she was so happy?

She values ​​friendship more than her love for the band. Even if the band disbands due to studies and everyone's circumstances, everyone will remain lifelong friends.

But what about Ito Rin and friendship? Which will she choose?

"Hey, is it ready already?"

The boy's voice broke the silence. Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief and moved aside to let Ito Rin take the plate out.

"Hongxia just worries too much. When it comes to things like this, just follow your heart." Yamada Ryo said lightly as he passed by her.

"call……"

It's easy to say, but if she could really do that, she would not be Hong Xia.

……

Ito Rin turned on the balcony light, moved the table out, and looked out. What came into view were the lush trees in the community, which made people feel happy.

"Let me do it."

After putting the gas stove away, I saw Yamada Ryo coming out with a pot, and Ito Rin took it.

"Very well prepared."

"If it were earlier, we could eat on the rooftop, but it's too cold lately to be suitable."

"It's almost like camping at home for me."

"That's still different. Senior's house is much better than here."

"you flatter me."

While chatting casually, the ingredients were brought over one after another. Ito Rin took out two bottles of freshly frozen juice and placed them on the table.

Hot white steam was bubbling out of the pot, and the rich aroma came out of the window and drifted into the distance.

"I'm eating!" Yamada Ryo, whose stomach had been growling with hunger, picked up a piece of winter melon and put it in the bowl. His happy look made people feel that it was so delicious.

"It turns out that senior sister really likes to eat vegetarian food." Ito Rin said.

"Nothing." Hong Xia picked up some beef for her and said with a smile, "Liang is an omnivore, so he's not that picky about food."

"That's a weird way of saying it." Yamada Ryo muttered while biting into the beef.

Hongxia picked up some mushrooms for Ito Rin.

Yamada Ryo looked over with an examining gaze, and then was soothed by her shrimp.

Is this driven by Hong Xia's instinct, or is there another meaning?

"Thank you." Ito Rin thanked them sincerely, and started eating with relish, looking at the scenery outside the balcony, and chatting with them about interesting things about the band.

It was mainly about Wakaba Mutsuki's matter. The band suddenly disbanded, and Hongxia was also very curious. She asked a few questions to Ito Rin, the eyewitness who emerged from the storm.

"Is it really just a conflict among the band members, with no external forces involved?"

"I don't know either, but it certainly doesn't seem that simple."

Then, the three of them conducted various analyses on the reasons for the disbandment of Mujica, and even deduced that the Toyokawa Group was the mastermind behind the disbandment.

Yamada Ryo, who proposed this conspiracy theory, argued: "After all, the Toyokawa Group is a large enterprise. Since Toyokawa Shoko is the sole heir to the group, as the head of the family, how could I allow her to form a band outside?"

"Why not just bribe one of the members, bring down the band, and then jump out and clean up the mess for her. This game of playing house will then come to an end."

If she didn't know the truth wasn't so reasonable, Ito Rin would have given her a thumbs up.

As expected of a capitalist's daughter, she is really skilled in this area.

After eating and drinking, Hongxia washed the dishes and prepared to go back.

During this period, the store manager had called her twice, but she hung up with a smile both times.

"Let's go, I'll take you there." Ito Rin picked up the coat beside the sofa.

The two nodded.

It's too late and I'm not familiar with the surroundings, so it would be safer to have someone escort me.

Walking back on the tree-lined road, everyone walked slowly.

"The manager is getting anxious." After having a free dinner and taking a comfortable walk, Yamada Ryo leaned comfortably on Hongxia's shoulder.

Looking at the series of urgent messages on the phone, Hong Xia rubbed her temples in distress, looked up at the two of them, and stopped worrying: "Then I'll go first, bye."

"Ah."

"be careful on the road."

Watching Hongxia jogging towards the station, Ito Rin put his hands in his pockets and looked at the starless night sky.

"You deliberately?"

"What a wonderful world for two of us. I feel shy when Hong Xia is around."

"You still know how to be shy?" Ito Rin turned her head and looked at Yamada Ryo.

The night wind blew her short blue hair, and her profile looked very beautiful.

"After all, I'm a girl." Yamada Ryo lifted the short hair beside her forehead, "But the world of two people is not just for ourselves. There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Ito Rin.

"Forget it, let me choose."

Vehicles passed by on the side of the road, their headlights dispelling the surrounding darkness. Staring at her serious expression, Ito Rin was confused.

"The good news is that Hongxia likes you very much," she said.
