Love Tennis and Yumiko Miura

"I'm sorry, I don't have any opinion." Facing the "Queen of Fire", Hikigaya retreated decisively.

"Hahaha, let's see if you dare!" Rumei came in front of Hikigaya in a domineering manner.

"Are you here for the show?"

"Yes! I'm curious about how Master's 'The Little Prince' will turn out."

"Tachibana will not disappoint you." Hikigaya recalled the superb acting skills of Chixian that he had witnessed with his own eyes, which seemed like he was cosplaying as Totsuka, and which almost made him betray Ayaka.

"Yeah, well, I'll leave this for you!" Rumi generously shared some of the snacks in her hand with Hikigaya, "See you later, Hikigaya."

Then a big one and a small one entered the classroom.

Hikigaya looked at the food on the table, slowly reached out to pick it up and put it into his mouth.

“This tastes pretty ordinary…”

However, a hint of smile appeared on the young man's lips.

----split line----

"Excuse me...please draw me a sheep!"

"But...what are you doing here?"

The little prince played by Zhixian meets the pilot played by Ye Shan.

When their eyes met, Yumiko heard some girls around them making sounds that were very familiar to her - this was the sound that Ebina would only make at certain specific moments.

...Are there so many fujoshi in our school? Yumiko's mouth twitched slightly. Fortunately, Rumi didn't notice; she was concentrating on enjoying the performance while drinking her drink, which made Yumiko feel relieved.

Sure enough, there won’t be any fujoshi among elementary school students, right?

Then there are some memories of the little prince, the rose and the fox...

After the memory ends, the stage returns to the desert again, and the change of scene is the change of props later.

The pilot wants to go with the little prince to find a well in the desert.

"The desert is so beautiful because there's a well hidden somewhere!" Zhixian, the Little Prince, utters this line with innocent wonder. This famous quote is perfectly executed by Zhixian.

By the way, the audience also admired Zhixian's acting skills more and more because of the huge contrast.

Soon, the time for the little prince and the pilot to part has arrived, and this is the climax arranged by the screenwriter Ms. Ebina Hina.

"Little Prince, I really like your laughter." Ye Shan's eyes were affectionate and his voice was extremely sincere, which made the women in the audience waver. Even the non-rotten girls were dazed for a moment, thinking that the two men in front of them were extremely well matched. If they were not acting, they would even want to shout "be together" loudly.

Even Yumiko almost gave in, but fortunately she reacted in time.

By the way, Ebina's first draft here included "overlapping the lips and the body", something that would definitely not be approved - she knew it would definitely not be approved, but she wrote it anyway, probably just for fun.

"We will be together forever." The pilot's confession was not over yet.

The audience also sighed with satisfaction again because of Hayama's lines. At this moment, everyone was a fujoshi!

......

"Master, master, you and Senior Hayama were such a perfect match on the stage just now! If it weren't for Yumiko, I almost betrayed you!" After arriving at the "backstage", Liumei ran to Zhixian and started chattering.

"What are you talking about!" Yumiko slashed at Rumi's head with a knife.

"That's right, look at the atmosphere here!" Liu Mei immediately squatted down with his head in his hands and refuted at the same time.

"As expected of Rumi-chan! You're quite talented, come watch BL with me! No girl can resist the charm of BL!"

"Hina!"

Zhixian and Ye Shan looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

133. Add Song

The first day's performance ended very smoothly, followed by a stage play performance in the morning and a band performance in the afternoon on the second day.

Except for the executive committee members who took over the relevant affairs, most people in the school naturally thought that this live performance would be Hayama's personal show. Although Zhixian and Yumiko were on the band list, few people would actually guess that this band performance was actually a duet of love songs by Zhixian and Yumiko - a large-scale show of affection and dog food, which would lure single people in and choke them to death.

Band rehearsal is much easier than stage play rehearsal, at least Zhixian thinks so.

Well, Ye Shan probably thought so too, so the two of them would often tacitly refuse the supervisor's request to do it again, saying that they still had band practice.

Under the guise of supervision, Ebina watched the two rehearse throughout, but in reality, it was just to satisfy her own selfish desires! Fujoshi naturally want to see more of them, so Ebina emphasized that the two practice repeatedly - if she hadn't taken out a tissue to wipe her nose, Zhixian and Hayama would have believed that there was something wrong with their acting.

You can use glasses to block your burning gaze, but they can't stop your equally burning nosebleed! You've exposed Ebina Hime!

"The weather has been too dry lately, and I'm a little irritated." Ebina threw away the paper ball as if nothing had happened.

My friend, Chiba is on the seaside, and it rained heavily not long ago, so what is dry? It's dry.

However, the supervisor was able to distinguish the priorities, so the band's rehearsal was not delayed much.

After the supervisor is satisfied.

----split line----

The second day of the festival is open to the public, and neighbors, friends from other schools, and those applying for college entrance exams flock to the venue. Since it's Saturday, many people are off, making it quite lively.

The crowd was mainly composed of students from nearby junior high and high schools, as well as wives and families, elderly people from the neighborhood, and even children who thought, "I don't quite understand it, but it looks awesome, so let's go check it out."

A group of teachers in charge of health and hygiene and male physical education teachers set up long tables at the two school gates to conduct registration, so that no one with bad intentions could sneak in.

The highlight of the day was naturally the performances by the aspiring groups held in the gymnasium.

The arranged folding chairs were already fully occupied, with not a single empty chair, and many people stood in the back row to watch the performance.

"Wow! There are so many people!" Yuigahama exclaimed after peeking out from backstage.

The performance that is about to begin is led by Yukinoshita Haruno.

Women in gorgeous gowns, holding various musical instruments, entered the stage slowly, followed by loud applause from the audience.

It was a very wonderful orchestral performance, and the ladies who performed were all very beautiful and charming, which gave the audience a great sense of satisfaction and a double enjoyment of vision and hearing.

At this time, Yumiko Chigen and others were waiting backstage. Their band performance was the last performance of the whole show, and the closing ceremony would follow.

"Ah, I'm still nervous after all!" Yumiko paced back and forth to ease her anxiety. Although she had a fair amount of tennis competition experience, this kind of performance, where she was exposed to the public, was her first time.

Among the six people who were about to go on stage, except Zhixian and Ye Shan, everyone else had varying degrees of anxiety.

Among the few who needed to use musical instruments, only Yeshan was relatively relaxed. He didn't hold the guitar in his hands but played it with nothing in his hands. In comparison, Ooka Yamato was a little dull.

"Hmm... wouldn't it be more convenient to drink stage drinks with a straw?"

"Yui, at this time, just use a pair of scissors to twist the bottle cap and it will create a hole of the perfect size. Put the straw in that hole."

"Eh? Himena is amazing!"

Yuigahama and Ebina were in charge of logistical matters.

Zhixian looked at Youmeiko pacing back and forth in front of him like Di Renjie and couldn't help but pull her, then took out the earphones and put them in her ears, playing the song that the two were about to sing.

Then Zhixian gently hugged Youmeiko.

"Calm down, Youmeko." Zhixian gently patted his girlfriend's back.

"......Um."

As if by magic, Yumiko's emotions gradually calmed down.

By the way, everyone around me avoided my sight intentionally or unintentionally, pretending not to see it.

Yumiko felt a little shy when she noticed this, so she slapped Zhixian with a little annoyance.

......

"Excuse me, have you seen Sagami?" Johkai Patrol came over and asked.

"No." Zhixian said, and Youmeizi also shook her head.

"Oh, this is really difficult. The chairman can't find anyone." The president was a little helpless.

"Is the impact big?" Youmiko asked casually.

"The others can be replaced, but she's the only one who knows the voting results for the Excellence Award and the Regional Award..."

"...That's a huge problem!"

"Yeah." Cheng Huixun's smile was already a little bitter.

"He's neglecting his duties." Zhixian sighed.

"Everyone who is free has been asked to look for her now." The president said that Sagami's cell phone was not turned on, and he did not come back after playing the broadcast.

"It's our turn soon, right? But we only have one song!" Yumiko became nervous again.

A song lasts five minutes, and including the introduction of the band members, some pleasantries, and the curtain call, it can only be delayed for a few minutes at most.

At this time, Ye Shan looked at Zhi Xian: "Tachibana, if you and Yumiko add a song, would it be okay?"

Before Zhixian could react, Yumiko responded first: "Eh? You want to add a song?! But we haven't practiced any other songs, right? That's not possible, right?"

Then Yumiko also turned her gaze to Zhixian.

"You can add it." Zhixian then announced the name of a song, which was from the same album as the song they planned to sing today.

"Youyouko, is it okay?" Zhixian and Youyouko looked at each other.

Yumiko was startled at first, then she hugged her head and whimpered in confusion.

The girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Then join!" Yumiko announced, "But I haven't memorized the lyrics yet..."

"We can help print the lyrics and music!" The president immediately sent someone to print the song that Zhixian had just reported.

"Thank you, Ju." Ye Shan said.

"It's nothing. This is the most direct and effective solution." Zhixian glanced at the chaotic backstage and couldn't help but sigh.

Chairman, you are too narrow-minded.

134. Let’s go!

The cultural festival welcomed its final performance under the attention of the public - Hayama and his band.

When the curtain opened, the audience was in an uproar.

Basically all the audience (students from Sobu, or students from other schools who know Hayama) thought that this was definitely a performance in which Hayama was the center of attention.

As a result, except for the keyboardist and drummer in the back row, Ye Shan, who played guitar, and Hu Bei, who played bass, stood on both sides. The four of them half-surrounded the one in gold and one in silver, who were in the center of the stage, like stars surrounding the moon. They were also a man and a woman.

In the middle are Zhixian and Youmeiko.

Zhixian leaned close to the microphone and said the song title: "Grand Escape"

This song is from the movie Weathering with You.

Zhixian turned around and confirmed with several companions one by one, then nodded. Then, accompanied by drum beats, guitar, bass and keyboard all sounded.

As the music progressed, Zhixian spoke up at the right moment: "Instead of choosing wings to fly, we chose to hold hands. Yet, we still yearn for the sky, dreaming the same dream over and over again. Is that wrong?"

After a few seconds of pause, Yumiko continued with the lyrics: "Summer looks at autumn's back, and that face appears in my heart. Summer looks at autumn's back, and that face appears in my heart."

Zhixian: After the sudden downpour, the sky cleared up, and the sun shone through the gaps between the leaves. Long before we met, you were already a unique existence.

There was another pause of a few seconds before Yumiko spoke again.

"As the Earth gradually loses its gravity, on this day that happens only once in a thousand years, standing on the edge beyond the reach of sunlight, we leave this planet! Towards the place where, when he opens his eyes, there is no return. Shouting "1, 2..." in unison, we push off the ground and head towards other planets."

“—Let’s go!”

“——Let’s go!” Zhixian and Yeshan sang the last sentence in harmony every few seconds.

The following part has the same rhythm as the first part, and is sung entirely by Yumiko without Zhixian's voice joining in.

Until the words "Let's go" came out of Youmeko's mouth, Zhixian's voice sounded at the same time, following perfectly.

"Only one step away is the direction of destiny, only one step away is the direction of civilization. Only one step away is the direction of fate, only one step away——"

Whenever Zhixian sings "Only One Step Away", Youmiko's "Let's Go" will sound, echoing each other.

The next part enters the male and female chorus.

"We set sail for our dreams and cross the endless night for the arrival of tomorrow. Let's go forward with full of expectations. We stand shoulder to shoulder. No matter what difficulties we encounter, there will always be a way out."

"We are not fearless, but we are unwilling to stand still. Even if the crisis comes first, our pace will not be affected by it. Our love is calling out, and our voices are echoing."

There is a reason why Zhixian and Youmeiko chose this song. Although the title of the song is "The Great Escape", the content and artistic conception of the lyrics have certain similarities with the experiences of the two, and to a certain extent also reflects the mood of the two.

During the chorus, Zhixian and Youmeiko looked at each other, with only each other in their eyes. They sang and expressed their feelings.
